Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for a weekly PAC twelve conversation with San
Jose Mercury News reporter John Wilner, brought to you by
Simply Seattle. Our friends at simply Seattle dot com have
the most amazing collection of all things Seattle Seahawks gear.
UW had some of the largest selection of sonics gear
anywhere in the world. Learn more at simply Seattle dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
By the way, you got your eye on something at
simply Seattle dot com. It's called kjar fifteen for fifteen
percent off anything on the website at simply Seattle dot com.
Here he is the Pope of the pack, the big
ten Bear, and our friend from the San Jose Mercury News,
Johnny Wilner.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
John, how are you man?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I am good? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How you guys good?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Not as good as Shador Sanders. Uh, he's getting his
number retire eye by Colorado. That's the same reaction I
had yesterday. By the way, when I saw the news.
Oh gosh, are you kidding me? I mean, John, the
floor is yours. What do you make of this?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I mean, its nepotism at its finest, It is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It is an offense to all of.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
The great Colorado players who have not had their numbers retired.
Cordell Stewart, for instance, Darien Hagen, quarterback, was a quarterback
on Colora's national championship team and National Player of the
Year during his career. His number hasn't been retired. It's
I think it's it's an offense and if I were
a former.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Colorado player, I'd be pissed that said.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You know, this is what happens when you basically give
Dion Sanders the keys to your kingdom. And in a
lot of ways, that has been a very smart move
by Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
He's done a lot of good things, so you got
to take the bad with the good. This is bad, but.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Dion is certainly not the most powerful head football coach
in the history of college football. There's been a lot
of college football coaches that run every facet of the
football program in the past.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Why is it happening here?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Well, if you look at what has happened to Colorado
under his during his two years, the uptick in interest, attendance,
TV ratings, merchandise sales, applications for admissions to the university,
applications for admissions to the university by black students, all
(02:24):
of those things are off the charts, and so he
has an enormous amount of influence there and they've got
you know, I don't know what the internal dynamics are
with with Sanders and and Rick George, the athletic director
who's been there for a long time, but they're basically
letting Sanders run the show.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And I guess he thought it was important to do this.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
For sure, I can understand Travis Henry won the Heisman, sure,
but the Sanders has done a lot of good things
in such a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
He's I mean, he's like the.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Face of the state actively, so I can kind of
see how his influence would grow to the point that
you associate with like a Nick Saban right at Altabum
or Bobby Bowden at Florida State back in the day.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, yeah, I mean I guess it was a dog father. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I just can't imagine Don James ever wanting his kid's
number retired, for going thirteen and twelve and never winning
a bowl game and never beating a ranked team. I mean,
I think it's humiliating. I think it's embarrassing for Colorado.
I think it's embarrassing for Shador. It's actually embarrassing for
Dion to be honest with you, that he would allow,
like for a guy that preaches accountability, you know, do
(03:37):
your job, be a great teammate, Blay and then just
handing over a number retired to his son.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's just, I mean, it just grinds me. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Maybe it shouldn't bother me as much as it does,
but it's just it's borderline ridiculous. Like sooner or later,
Deion Sanders won't be there and he's not going to
be the head coach at Colorado and somebody will look
up in fifteen years and see that number and say,
oh dad, what nothing really right?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So the other thing that's interesting about it is putting
this type of treatment of Schadur in the context of
the NFL draft, right, and the criticisms or critiques that
are out there about sense of entitlement, you know, that
kind of thing. I think it's very interesting just because
of the way he's being evaluated and how there's certainly
(04:25):
a wide range of opinion and if you're looking for
the negative, this fits into that narrative.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
John, do you have the spring transfer portal window opening tomorrow.
How much movement do you think we'll see? Will it
be a trickle or will it still be a cascade
like it was in the winter time.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Not to the extent that it was in the Winner,
But I think it'll be more than a trickle for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And you know there's gonna be some good players.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's not gonna be a lot of really good players,
but you know, if you're Washington, you may you may
see a guy that you think can help you the
offensive defensive line, for instance.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I think there'll be.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Some some players there. There'll be some opportunity depending on
how much money the schools have still available. Lot of
a lot of schools went all in with their nil
money on the winter transfer portal, understandably so. But if
you've got some cash available, I think you can find
some help, some immediate help.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
John Wilner with US, I know you do like a
way too early preseason top twenty five for college football.
You do your Big ten predictions, obviously, but will you
do a early Heisman prediction segment and will Demand Williams
be on your list of long shots?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I am gonna do it, but I've been waiting for
the spring transfer window to close and spring practice to end,
so probably early May. The portal is open for ten
days till the end of next week, and then most
schools will wrap up practice, and so I will do
one for sure. I just didn't make sense to me
(06:01):
to do it earlier when we don't know exactly where
everybody's gonna be, and will Williams be on it. I
think that I would probably put him on the you know,
the dark first candidate list, a guy that could you know,
come out of nowhere for a lot of folks who
haven't seen him play, especially if the Huskies have a
(06:21):
good season.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
John is the Nico Yama Lajeva situation, just one of
many like it to come. And do you think he's
gonna end up losing money in this whole deal when
he finds a home that's not Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
He might.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I mean, that whole thing is so indicative of what's
going on now, and I have equated it to the
Nick Saban retirement in January of twenty twenty four that
shut off two chain reactions. One was the coaching chain,
which obviously hit Seattle. The other was the contract extension chain.
(07:02):
You know, Steve Sarkisian Mike Norvel.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
A whole lot of coaches got got pay.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Raises because the schools wanted to keep them all their
coaches away from Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Right, same thing's gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Tennessee is going to go out and start looking for
a quarterback, and they got the money to poach almost anybody.
At the same time, schools are gonna who have quarterbacks
that might be in you know, desirable by Tennessee. You
may have to come up and offer a raise to
your quarterbacks. I'm not saying Washington would with demand Williams, right,
(07:34):
but you know, pick the school that's got somebody who
who's established, Like just hypothetically, ASU was Sam Levitt, Right,
Tennessee might go after Sam Levitt.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
It's as you may have to come up with a
raise for him.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, I think that brings up an important point about
kind of what's allowed and what's not allowed, which is nothing.
You can do whatever you want, I guess, But like,
what's keeping Tennessee from going after DeMont Williams. I mean,
Caleb Williams left Oklahoma to go to USC. For God's sakes,
this is Oklahoma one of the premier programs in the
history of college football. So there's there's nothing tying demand
(08:10):
Williams contractually to Washington if somebody comes calling over the offseason.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Not that I am aware of now, I don't think
it'll happen because I think the Tennessee's gonna, you know,
they feel like they got a playoff roster and they're
going to want to try to get.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
A proving quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
But you know, there is no as far as I know,
Williams and most of these other kids do not have
binding contracts. We just saw what happened to Tennessee. Now
that is but that is an aspect of this whole
thing that needs to be examined. Can the schools improve
the state of their NIL contracts to create any kind
(08:46):
of binding agreement? Obviously, the scholarship that Williams is getting
from Washington is a year to year thing.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
He can break that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I'm assuming he does not have some kind of massive
buyout in his NIL contract act that would give Tennessee pause.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Are we done with the with the lawsuits because of
the settlement? You know, we had the Regimen Bush and
the Terrell Prior and the Diego Pavia like or.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We're not done with this? This is just tip of
the Iceberg. Okay, tell me more.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
In fact, I just published about an hour ago an
article on that very topic. Okay, if they there's going
to continue to be in I trust lawsuits unless one
or two things happens.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Either there's a collective.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Baring agreement with between the schools and the players, or
Congress provides anti trust protection. There's no indication either way
that either of those things are gonna happen anytime soon.
Just ten days ago, a couple of kids in North
Carolina football players at North Carolina and Duke, filed the
loss in trust lawsuit against the instabla.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
They want to basically get they've had, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Their five years to play four and their argument is
we're better now than we were as freshmen. We are
worth more in nil money now, so the five to
play four shouldn't apply to us. We should get another year,
even though we don't have a good reason for it
except for our nil market value. So that's an example
(10:15):
of what's going on in the courts right and how
the NCAA is under assault constantly, and even though this
House deal is going.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
To help, it is not going to stop the lawsuits.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So I'm sorry David.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Are we going to get to a point maybe where
college athletes can play as long as they want.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
That's one of the things I addressed in the article.
I talked to two sports sports law experts. The three
nightmare scenarios that I see potentially coming down the pike
are unlimited eligibility, being able to transfer in season, and
(10:54):
we've talked about that the three of us have, and
also turning pro playing in the NFL for five years,
and then I'm went back and played in college, and
the notion of amateurism is under assault the extent that
you can't rule any of those things out.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I mean, I could see a situation where you
don't even need to be in school to be playing
for these teams down the road. I just don't think
anything should be dismissed as stupid as it sounds. John
Wilners with us. John Danny Sprinkle was on with us.
We're going to replay it coming up in the six
pm hour for those that missed it, because I thought
he was really good. He's putting a lot of expectations
on himself, by the way, for the upcoming season. We
(11:34):
asked him, what does he expect that of Husky basketball
in twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
What he said, my expectation is to be in the
NCAA tournament and not just get there, like you know,
we gotta win games in the Nskavuay Tournament.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I've never been so motivated. In fact, I'm pissed off.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So he's putting the bullseye squarely on himself John for
next year. Right, what do you make of that decision
by Danny Sprinkle?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Well, I think that's good just to raise the bar
for his players and for himself, and he's he's done
a nice job. I have been very impressed with Washington's
roster makeover, a little bit surprised by the resources available
for Washington Basketball's nil.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Bank account. It's pretty impressible.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I don't know all the details of who's behind that,
but somebody is really helping that program out. And he's
going to have a roster that I think is probably
gonna be picked, you know, six to eight to ten
in the Big ten next season. And if you're in
that window in the Big ten, you've got a good
chance to make the intblas.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh, if you're six to eight, you're pretty much a
lock in the Big Ten.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Right, they got They had eight teams in this year,
so yeah, yeah, they've done a nice job.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
They have done a really nice job remaking that roster.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Hey, John, do you like the timing of Speaking of
tournament basketball, do you like the timing of the women's
tournament or should have happened before or after the men's tournament?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think it's good because it is.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I think they piggybacks in terms of interest, and they
play off each other, I think, and if they tried
to move it either before or after, there would be
so much outrage that it was getting unequal treatment that
I mean, I can't even see it happening, honest with you,
I think they should move both of them.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
To be honest, I think they should move back a few.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Weeks and start the thing at the very end of March,
because that would now allow them to move the start
of the season foward into December and cut down on
the overlap of football.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Right right, John.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Remember those old things that you'd go into a motel
in the middle of nowhere and you put a quarter
in the bed would vibrate.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Remember those things back in the day, one of those hotels. No, no, no, no,
I'm just saying that John's phone for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Every week, about fifteen minutes in you start to sound
like this, he's better now, and you just did it again.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's not your fault.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's like it's like, we only get fifteen minutes before
somebody's got to put a quarter into your phone, so
we got we gotta find a way to check that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
But John, I don't know what's going on. It's very odd.
I know it's not your fault. No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's just really weird. I mean, Jackson confirmed this. Every
single week it comes on like fifteen minutes into this
same damn.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
It's only for five seconds. It's only very weird seconds
each time.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Can you just start to carry some dimes or nickels
with you, by the way, and just feed the machine
for crying out loud? John Wilner is with us again
right here on ninety three three kJ AIRFM. I want
to go back to the Demon Williams thing for a second,
because I think that there's a question about this is
a guy in jed Fish that purposely put Jonah Coleman
(14:45):
back into a game a year ago to have him
get one hundred yards. And I see CSU meaning Colorado State.
You see Davis and Wazoo in the first three games
of the year. Don't want to look past anybody. Obviously
we all know what happened last year at Lumenfield. But
Jetfish the kind of guy who's already been talking about
New York and the Heisman for demon where he would
(15:07):
load up his numbers in those first three games of
the year just to get this guy on the Heisman radar.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Absolutely, I think he would, and I think you know
we saw he he he will do that. He did
that in Arizona to a certain extent with with Tenero
McMillan right, in terms of getting the ball to his playmakers.
I mean, it's certainly not entirely motivated by just the
Heisman spotlight. It is, but it is an offshoot of
(15:38):
given your best players the ball with the chance to
make the greatest impact. And you look at Williams's you know,
run pass, dual threat skills and that schedule, and you
can you can certainly sketch out in your head that
he's going to be one of those surprise candidates there
(15:59):
are every year.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There are some. The big issue will be if he
does have a hot start, right, what kind of play.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Is he going to get on the big ten TV
windows right in terms of maximum exposure, And there's no
way to know now, but certainly they got you know,
if he plays well at home. The Ohio State game
is like late September, right it's I think it's the
same day that Oregon.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Plays PENNSA September twenty So, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Same day Oregon plays Penn State. Huge day right there.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
If he has a hot start and then they get
that game on, you know, assuming it's not on Peacock,
that could be a huge, huge.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Game for Williams for the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
John was Washington State and Oregon State happy with their
exposure last year? And you wrote this last week about
the PAC two meteor rites for this year and what
it looks like tell us about it.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, they were very happy with how it went with
the CW and it was you know, given the circumstances,
I think they were right to be happy with it.
That is the one of the big questions for the
new PAC twelve is if you have a choice, if
the option is let's take a TV deal that gives
(17:13):
us a little bit more money but a little less
exposure on linear TV, or more exposure on linear TV
and a little less money.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I think they need to go for the exposure.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I think they got to get as many games on
broadcast or table as they can, whether that is the
CW or Fox, ESPN, Turner. That's what they need to
focus on because the next five years is a tryout.
It's an audition for a lot of these schools to
get into whatever happens next.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Hey, so I saw this the other day on social media,
and I'm telling you, man, there's rumors and sometimes stories
are born on X and Twitter. Right, I mean, as
crazy as and nonsensical as things sound, sometimes things just
kind of come.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Out of nowhere. Have you seen this crazy rumor about
Utah ditching the Big twelve for the Big Ten.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I did see it, and I got a good laugh
out of it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Okay, good.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So, I mean you're not buying that. I don't know. No,
I'm not buying that at all.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
That is rooted in the fact that Utah didn't really
want to go to the Big twelve, right. Utah really
wanted the Pac.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Twelve to stay together. And Utah also.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Thinks that it is a Big ten worthy school football
academically and in some ways, Utah is a Big ten school.
I agree with that assessment, more of a Big ten
school than a Big twelve school. But no, I have
no reason to think that that's true. And they've got
a contract with the you know, a grant of rights deal,
(18:45):
so it's it's ridiculous. There's gonna be a lot of
ridiculous realignment stuff the next three or four years, and
then things will get real serious in like twenty eight,
twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, just ridiculous stuff like Stanford and cal go to
the a CEC.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's crazy. I don't never happened ever.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
All Right, John, you're the man, great stuff, and we're
talking a week, buddy, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
John, Thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right, John Wilner with us on the radio show
We're Gonna break. Brian Schmitzer will join us coming up
five to forty five. Right here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You're listening to the home of the Husky, the krukn
and Cle's best NFL Draft coverage Jim the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft. Now back to Suthian did proudly brought
to you by Emerald Queen Casino on Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
All right, boys and girls, we're back on a busy
Tuesday night.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Brian Schmetzer will join us a weekly visit with a
Sounders head coach and just general shenanigans.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
What can we do?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
You know?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I propose a new segment, by the way, for the
Brian Schmitzer visit every Tuesday at five forty five, a
new feature, if you will, any Brian Schmetzer segment? How
about what can we do to piss off Sounders media?
At five forty five with Brian Schmetz.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Uh he did not speak today, which means that we
get the fresh injury news that he hasn't given to anybody.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Somebody to tell Jada Evans we're about to have some
news or we're gonna get it first before you.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
How's that saying he would have given us the fresh
injury news even if he had.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Talked to Who else is there that we should irritate?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What are the names of some of the other because
there's like Jackson's told us before privately off of the air,
how much you can't stand the Sounders meaty bunch of
know nothing, gnattering knay bombs of negativity?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You have said that to us? Is there a bunch
of them complaining or just one. Isn't there audio? By
the way, there is audio? Well don't you want to
play it?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (20:39):
Because one of the guys who complained is a good
friend of mine, and we spoke and like it's all
good now, and oh no, it's just sort of like,
listen this.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Who's your friend? Is it Jeremy? Is that your buddy?
Speaker 7 (20:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
No, My good friend is Nico Moraine. I know Nico. Yeah,
Nico is a good dude. Yeah, very good dude.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
And he was he was mad that the injury update
didn't match what if he did five hours earlier, but
he and I talked about it and were on good terms.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
We'll just have them listen to the show and they
can get all the info they need. That's what I said.
Just listen to the radio. I'm very simple. Then they
save them the trip down there.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's no point for any of these people to even
have jobs, to be honest, just let us do your
work for you. So Brian will join us coming up
at five point forty five. All right, you know one
thing we haven't talked about yet today. Jalen Milroe, according
to Adam Schefter, was in town today visiting the Seahawks,
and I would just say, for what reason?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Why was he here? Why would he be here? Well,
because Jalen Milroe is a freak azoid athlete.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Why would he be here that somebody is going to
take a shot on I think in as high as
the first round, and the Seahawks want to make sure
that they either have interest or feign interest in Jalen
Milroe because if some team wants to trade up to
eighteen to take Jalen Milroe, maybe the Seahawks can benefit.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
So quote from John Schneider, we wanted to see what
it looked like to look at a quarterback who cannot
throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
That's why we brought Jalen Milroe to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I mean I'm being half sarcastic here, Dick obviously humor
me because the guy can't throw right and look, you
want to draft him to do what to be Taysom Hill.
I mean, I think people have talked about that he's
kind of a different body than Taysom Hill, different style
of running than Taysom Hill. I mean, do you draft
them early to be a freakazoid athlete? Do you draft
them early to be a you know, a short down
(22:32):
running back, you know, kind of a change of pace
running back, or excuse me, change a pace quarterback from
Sam Darnald. Like, if you draft them early, you're drafting
Jalen Milroll to be your next starting quarterback, right, if
he's a first or a second round guy, you're drafting
him to be the air apparent to whatever Sam Darnald
does for you in the next maybe year, two three years.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I just have no confidence whatsoever in Jalen Milroll being
able to survive.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
In the NFL as a thrower, none at all.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
One of the most stunning things in all of college
football for me last year was how Jalen Millroe did
not work with Kailen de Boor, and how Jalen Millroe
turned from a sixty six completion twenty three touchdown six
interception quarterback not under Kailn de bor Right to a
sixty four percent sixteen touchdown eleven interception a little bit
(23:24):
an interception quarterback with Kailen de Bory.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, I mean, that's not a big drop in completion percentage,
but he would tell you the completion percentage is kind
of hard to get the full picture, right, like what
kind of throws.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Are touchdown perception right? Sentence two?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Sure, but the completion, Like I think people see My
point is this. People see sixty six and sixty four
and think.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Oh, that's pretty good. That's not bad. Right, it's not
a terrible But where are those balls going?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Are Are they catch a ball? Are they not catch
a ball? Are they within you know, zero to four yards?
Are they twenty plus yards downfield? So you ten words
of completion would eight point nine yards? I would ask
you about that on Friday when he comes on about
Jalen Milroe and how enthralled we should be with this
completion percentage. I just think it's one of those things
(24:10):
where you look at this and you remember the games
of his that you watched, right, And I watched a
lot of Jalen Milroe. I watched a lot of Alabama
football this year, more so than probably ever because of
Kaylen de boor right. I mean, they come on, I'm
more curious now to watch them play and whatever. And
I thought he looked terrible. I mean my eyes and
again I don't have the greatest ice sight in the world,
but my eyes told me that he was awful as
(24:32):
a junior. I don't remember Hi much as a junior,
to be honest with you, because to me, I thought
he was I didn't watch as much Alabama football when
Kaylan was coaching at Washington.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Well see, I'm probably more like the majority of Husky fans.
I watched less Jalen. I watched less Alabama after Kailen
de Bor.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Interesting, And I think most Husky fans probably watched less
Alabama when Kaylen de Bor. Why because they're angry about
Klen de Bor going there.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I mean, I have no idea how anybody could even
know that to quote Napoleon Dynamite, to be totally honest
with you, but you, I mean, you could be right.
I just know this that I don't remember watching a
lot of Milrow when he was a junior, and I
remember watching him last year, and I remember texting Ryan
Fowler during the season, going is.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
There anybody else that can play quarterback for you? Guys?
Like is this the best you can do? And He's like,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean they were talking about yanking him and benching him,
and his whole point the entire year was that he's
well liked in the locker room. If they bench him,
he'll lose the locker room. Well, he's about to lose
the locker room because they're going to lose four or
five games, and they did.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
So.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I mean, are we excited about the idea of Jalen
Milroe getting drafted by the Seahawks.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
No, not at all, because again, because you would have
to take him in the top couple rounds. And if
we're talking about a team that, yes, maybe wants to
run the ball, run the bro run ball. Sure, but
you're eventually going to have a third and fifteen. And
if we're going to go a third and fifteen with
zero confidence that we're going to get it, yeah, that's
not a guy I'm taking in the first two rounds.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Not me, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I'm not intrigued by this at all. I don't want
the Hawks to have anything to do with the guy
zero unless he's like a Day three dude.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Right, Yeah, if you get him in like thee in
the second round, get in the second round. No, No,
I mean if you get him in the fourth okay,
but like even top three rounds, a quarterback that gives
you very little confidence throwing the ball, like that's just
not worth a top three pick.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Don't you think a second round draft pick as a
quarterback as a guy that you eventually will hope to
become your starting quarterback horse?
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Right? Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So think about the guys that the Seahawks got in
the second round. Bobby Wagner was a second round pick.
DK Metcalf was a second round Did you love Jalen
Hurts as a pass was either Locket a second round pick?
Speaker 8 (26:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I did not, did not, And I think she was
Inprouper Bowl.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Yeah, based upon largely based upon his leadership and his athleticism. Sure,
he's a better thrower than this guy, but he wasn't.
He wasn't I think he was a better thrower. Jackson
wasn't a great thrower at Louisville. He's a fifty seven complete,
ten percent completion guy.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I again with the completion percentage.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I am not ready to say that Jalen Milroe is
not going to be a really good quarterback in the
NFL because he has athleticism that we have never seen.
His size, speed, compare you know numbers all. He's he
is twenty, he is the same height as Lamar Jackson,
(27:27):
and he is twenty pounds heavier, and he's faster.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, look, there's been a lot of guys that have
improved his passers. Tyler Huntley is one of them. I
thought his jumpy away when he was at Utah from
like his junior to senior year was unbelievable. He couldn't
throw and then all of a sudden they changed coaches
and boom, look at the guy and he's in the
National Football League. But if you are waiting for Jalen
Milroe to become Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, then you
better damn well go get the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line
(27:52):
to play with him.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Okay, So I mean, if do you.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Want to take him in the second round, I'd be intrigued,
really really could be intrigued really quick. Jalen Hurts Finally
year in college he threw for almost four thousand yards,
thirty two touchdowns, eight interceptions, completion.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Not good and not good. And then he transferred. He
transferred to No No Jackson. He was better at Oklahoma
for sure.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Benched for two a tongue of I Lowes in the
National Championship Game.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
He was better at Oklahoma. There's no need to look
at numbers. He was better at better thrower than Jalen
Milroe by far. That that that's he's entirely accurate about that.
That is correct far Jalen Hurts. Jalen Milroe never did
what Jalen Hurts did at Oklahoma. Maybe he needed to
leave and go somewhere else. I mean, look, if you
want to, if you would draft them, draft him. I'm
(28:44):
not drafting him in the second round, no shot.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
I'm doing seventeen touchdowns one interception in twenty seventeen at
Bama seventeen to one.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
We have seen a lot of players improve, There is
no question Dick is right, uh that guys get better.
But my god, making this guy a second round draft
pick to be your next starting quarterback after what you
saw in his last season. If he had transferred and
did what Jalen Hurts did somewhere else, or even done
that at Alabama, I would have been like, hey, great,
(29:11):
this is phenomenal, awesome. So where do you think he's gone.
Where do you guys think he's gonna I got no idea.
I'm just saying I don't want the Hawks taking him
in the second I think.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
He goes before the Seahawks picking two.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Maybe yeah, I mean, I mean, look, you could be right,
somebody maybe falls in love with him just because of
the skill and goes nuts. I don't want the Hawks
to be that team. We're gonna break. Brian Schmittzer will
join us next on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You're listening to the home of the Husky Kruk and
Seattle's Vets. The NFL Draft coverage gen the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft. Now back to Suthian Dick, proudly brought
to you by Emerald Queen Casino on Sports Radio ninety
three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
All right, we are back the segment.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Everybody in the assembled Sounder Media Corps has been waiting
for the latest, the very latest stuff you only get here,
information you only can get on this radio station every
Tuesday of Friday forty five with our friend from the
Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer, joining us atop right now.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
How are you man?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Well good? You put me in a little pressure there.
I'm trying to think what scoop I can give you.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Well, let's you know what, Let's just start there. Never
mind all the stuff we had planned. Is there anything
that you're sitting on that you're not supposed to tell
us that you want to tell us?
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Let me see.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Trade possession, signing, an injury Yeah, no, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
I did go on an injury report. I mean that's
the That's the only thing that's really maybe controversial because look,
we had to hold Jordan out of the last game.
But I think he's going to be ready to start.
So maybe that's the scoop I want to give you.
Ryan Kent, you know, has his visa. If he looks
good in training this week, he might, you know, make
(30:58):
an appearance on the bench. So there's scoop number two.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I love it all right, good good stuff. You got
the win, got the win in Dallas. Takeaways from your
one nil victory?
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Thank god?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
How about that? We needed that.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
We needed that for a lot of different reasons. But
the most important thing that we took from that game
was just look, we're under a bit of adversity. Like
I said, Jordan was a pretty quick, unexpected scratch, and
Danny Masoski came in the field, did a good job,
scored the winning goal. Guys came together, Jackson Reagan going
(31:38):
down with a hamstring injury, more adversity, kim Key, he
his first action of the year played really well. It
was just a real team effort and a real good
team mentality on the road, which we know it's hard
to win on the road in MLUS, right.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well, Brian Schmeetzer again is with us. If we told
you a few weeks ago that you'd be one and
one and one one one in one on the.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Road trip, while dealing with all the injuries you had,
would that have felt like kind of a win for you?
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Man?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well?
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Yeah, I mean maybe. I mean, look, we're a pretty
good road team, softy. If Jackson does his job and
he goes back through the stats, he could probably give
you some nuggets for next week. But it's like, we're
pretty good on the road. Last year we had eight
wins on the road, so that's that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That would involve Jackson doing his job, though, you know,
which you know sometimes will happen.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
So I know this.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Sorry, I know that, I know, I know, I know
Bright Spitzer joining us before let's get some other injury news.
You gave us a couple of nuggets there. How about
Pedro de la Vega gave you forty five minutes in Dallas.
What more can he give you this week?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Will increase his minutes, He'll still be on a time restriction,
and again it's a time restriction, but it's also by
the GPS unit he wears on the back of their jersey.
We usually take exact measurements. When he hits his measure
marks will pull him off. But then I know you're
gonna ask me about Albert Rusnak and Alex Roldan and
(33:06):
those guys are in training. Some of it's partial training.
They've got a big day tomorrow. If they can come
through tomorrow, then I'd probably have more news, more positive
news towards the end of the week.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What about Reagan got banged up in the Dallas game.
What's kind of his status long term?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You think not a good one.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Not a good one. That's four to six week right
hand string, not a good one.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
How'ses the Western Conference shaping up versus what you thought
it was going to look like at this point with
most teams playing you know, seven eight games, Dick, That's a.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Great question because I didn't think that. The Galaxy, although
they lost Ricky Pughue, so maybe that's they've given them
a little bit of a path. You know, they're way
at the bottom. I would have liked our team because
we got a good team. I would have been better
if our team was a little higher up in the standings.
But the surprise to me of all the teams in
the Western Conference has to be the Vancouver white Caps.
(34:07):
I mean, they're just flying and the new coach, I mean,
talk about a new coach bump. It's been really impressive
to watch.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Well, Brian Schmetzer again, who was not a new coach.
He's been around for a long time with us on
the radio show. So moving on to this week's game.
All right, you got to kind of figure out what
the hell Jackson's talking about here and interpret this from
me because I got no idea what he's babbling about.
He says Nashville has a high x G. What the
hell does that freaking mean?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
And what is he smoking?
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Well, I don't know what he's smoking. But expected goals
is one of those is one of those kind of
fancy statistics that guys like to use, you know, when
they're measuring our sport. Sometimes you can't measure our sport
because look, it's fluid, we're always moving but expected goals
is a big stat now. And look, Nashville is a
(34:59):
good team, give them credit. But look we're at home
and we're a good team.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
How about bj Callahan, he was he was the coach
of the US national team. What do you like about him?
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Well, he stuck with it. He's got a job now
in MLS. The national team experience with Greg Burhalter probably
was a good one. Uh So, you know, I'm expecting
a tough matchup.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What about that team, by the way, they've had kind
of a nightmare of the last couple of months. The
US men's national team have been following them at all,
And what's.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Going on with that program? Coach?
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Well, okay, all right, you want to you want to
dig deep here. Yeah, Look, and that team is going
to be fine. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell everybody that
that Look, they're going to be fine. Uh the guys
are going to have to figure out that we're hosting
the United States. And look, I read Landon Donovan's comments,
you know about you know, the everybody's upsets and Hercules
(35:55):
Gomez and all these guys, all the pundits, and they're
some truth to that. I think the American spirit. The
guys that put on the jersey need to just stop,
eliminate all the noise and just do the work. And
if they do that, they're super talented players as well.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, then you tell me off the air in a
private moment that you don't think Pochettino can coach.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Was not you who said that? Maybe it's probably I
love yours guy.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
All right, man, listen, great stuff, best of luck, and
we're talking a.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Week all all right, take care guys.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Brian Schmetzer with us on the radio show
It's time for a weekly PAC twelve conversation with San
Jose Mercury News reporter John Wilner, brought to you by
Simply Seattle. Our friends at simply Seattle dot com have
the most amazing collection of all things Seattle Seahawks gear.
UW had some of the largest selection of sonics gear
anywhere in the world. Learn more at simply Seattle dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
By the way, you got your eye on something at
simply Seattle dot com. It's called kjar fifteen for fifteen
percent off anything on the website at simply Seattle dot com.
Here he is the Pope of the pack, the big
ten Bear, and our friend from the San Jose Mercury News,
Johnny Wilner.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
John, how are you man?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I am good? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How you guys good?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Not as good as Shador Sanders. Uh, he's getting his
number retire eye by Colorado. That's the same reaction I
had yesterday. By the way, when I saw the news.
Oh gosh, are you kidding me? I mean, John, the
floor is yours. What do you make of this?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I mean, its nepotism at its finest, It is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It is an offense to all of.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
The great Colorado players who have not had their numbers retired.
Cordell Stewart, for instance, Darien Hagen, quarterback, was a quarterback
on Colora's national championship team and National Player of the
Year during his career. His number hasn't been retired. It's
I think it's it's an offense and if I were
a former.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Colorado player, I'd be pissed that said.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You know, this is what happens when you basically give
Dion Sanders the keys to your kingdom. And in a
lot of ways, that has been a very smart move
by Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
He's done a lot of good things, so you got
to take the bad with the good. This is bad, but.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Dion is certainly not the most powerful head football coach
in the history of college football. There's been a lot
of college football coaches that run every facet of the
football program in the past.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Why is it happening here?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Well, if you look at what has happened to Colorado
under his during his two years, the uptick in interest, attendance,
TV ratings, merchandise sales, applications for admissions to the university,
applications for admissions to the university by black students, all
(02:24):
of those things are off the charts, and so he
has an enormous amount of influence there and they've got
you know, I don't know what the internal dynamics are
with with Sanders and and Rick George, the athletic director
who's been there for a long time, but they're basically
letting Sanders run the show.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And I guess he thought it was important to do this.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
For sure, I can understand Travis Henry won the Heisman, sure,
but the Sanders has done a lot of good things
in such a short amount of time.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
He's I mean, he's like the.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Face of the state actively, so I can kind of
see how his influence would grow to the point that
you associate with like a Nick Saban right at Altabum
or Bobby Bowden at Florida State back in the day.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, yeah, I mean I guess it was a dog father. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I just can't imagine Don James ever wanting his kid's
number retired, for going thirteen and twelve and never winning
a bowl game and never beating a ranked team. I mean,
I think it's humiliating. I think it's embarrassing for Colorado.
I think it's embarrassing for Shador. It's actually embarrassing for
Dion to be honest with you, that he would allow,
like for a guy that preaches accountability, you know, do
(03:37):
your job, be a great teammate, Blay and then just
handing over a number retired to his son.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's just, I mean, it just grinds me. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Maybe it shouldn't bother me as much as it does,
but it's just it's borderline ridiculous. Like sooner or later,
Deion Sanders won't be there and he's not going to
be the head coach at Colorado and somebody will look
up in fifteen years and see that number and say,
oh dad, what nothing really right?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So the other thing that's interesting about it is putting
this type of treatment of Schadur in the context of
the NFL draft, right, and the criticisms or critiques that
are out there about sense of entitlement, you know, that
kind of thing. I think it's very interesting just because
of the way he's being evaluated and how there's certainly
(04:25):
a wide range of opinion and if you're looking for
the negative, this fits into that narrative.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
John, do you have the spring transfer portal window opening tomorrow.
How much movement do you think we'll see? Will it
be a trickle or will it still be a cascade
like it was in the winter time.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Not to the extent that it was in the Winner,
But I think it'll be more than a trickle for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And you know there's gonna be some good players.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's not gonna be a lot of really good players,
but you know, if you're Washington, you may you may
see a guy that you think can help you the
offensive defensive line, for instance.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I think there'll be.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Some some players there. There'll be some opportunity depending on
how much money the schools have still available. Lot of
a lot of schools went all in with their nil
money on the winter transfer portal, understandably so. But if
you've got some cash available, I think you can find
some help, some immediate help.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
John Wilner with US, I know you do like a
way too early preseason top twenty five for college football.
You do your Big ten predictions, obviously, but will you
do a early Heisman prediction segment and will Demand Williams
be on your list of long shots?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I am gonna do it, but I've been waiting for
the spring transfer window to close and spring practice to end,
so probably early May. The portal is open for ten
days till the end of next week, and then most
schools will wrap up practice, and so I will do
one for sure. I just didn't make sense to me
(06:01):
to do it earlier when we don't know exactly where
everybody's gonna be, and will Williams be on it. I
think that I would probably put him on the you know,
the dark first candidate list, a guy that could you know,
come out of nowhere for a lot of folks who
haven't seen him play, especially if the Huskies have a
(06:21):
good season.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
John is the Nico Yama Lajeva situation, just one of
many like it to come. And do you think he's
gonna end up losing money in this whole deal when
he finds a home that's not Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
He might.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I mean, that whole thing is so indicative of what's
going on now, and I have equated it to the
Nick Saban retirement in January of twenty twenty four that
shut off two chain reactions. One was the coaching chain,
which obviously hit Seattle. The other was the contract extension chain.
(07:02):
You know, Steve Sarkisian Mike Norvel.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
A whole lot of coaches got got pay.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Raises because the schools wanted to keep them all their
coaches away from Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Right, same thing's gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Tennessee is going to go out and start looking for
a quarterback, and they got the money to poach almost anybody.
At the same time, schools are gonna who have quarterbacks
that might be in you know, desirable by Tennessee. You
may have to come up and offer a raise to
your quarterbacks. I'm not saying Washington would with demand Williams, right,
(07:34):
but you know, pick the school that's got somebody who
who's established, Like just hypothetically, ASU was Sam Levitt, Right,
Tennessee might go after Sam Levitt.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
It's as you may have to come up with a
raise for him.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, I think that brings up an important point about
kind of what's allowed and what's not allowed, which is nothing.
You can do whatever you want, I guess, But like,
what's keeping Tennessee from going after DeMont Williams. I mean,
Caleb Williams left Oklahoma to go to USC. For God's sakes,
this is Oklahoma one of the premier programs in the
history of college football. So there's there's nothing tying demand
(08:10):
Williams contractually to Washington if somebody comes calling over the offseason.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Not that I am aware of now, I don't think
it'll happen because I think the Tennessee's gonna, you know,
they feel like they got a playoff roster and they're
going to want to try to get.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
A proving quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
But you know, there is no as far as I know,
Williams and most of these other kids do not have
binding contracts. We just saw what happened to Tennessee. Now
that is but that is an aspect of this whole
thing that needs to be examined. Can the schools improve
the state of their NIL contracts to create any kind
(08:46):
of binding agreement? Obviously, the scholarship that Williams is getting
from Washington is a year to year thing.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
He can break that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I'm assuming he does not have some kind of massive
buyout in his NIL contract act that would give Tennessee pause.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Are we done with the with the lawsuits because of
the settlement? You know, we had the Regimen Bush and
the Terrell Prior and the Diego Pavia like or.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We're not done with this? This is just tip of
the Iceberg. Okay, tell me more.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
In fact, I just published about an hour ago an
article on that very topic. Okay, if they there's going
to continue to be in I trust lawsuits unless one
or two things happens.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Either there's a collective.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Baring agreement with between the schools and the players, or
Congress provides anti trust protection. There's no indication either way
that either of those things are gonna happen anytime soon.
Just ten days ago, a couple of kids in North
Carolina football players at North Carolina and Duke, filed the
loss in trust lawsuit against the instabla.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
They want to basically get they've had, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Their five years to play four and their argument is
we're better now than we were as freshmen. We are
worth more in nil money now, so the five to
play four shouldn't apply to us. We should get another year,
even though we don't have a good reason for it
except for our nil market value. So that's an example
(10:15):
of what's going on in the courts right and how
the NCAA is under assault constantly, and even though this
House deal is going.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
To help, it is not going to stop the lawsuits.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
So I'm sorry David.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Are we going to get to a point maybe where
college athletes can play as long as they want.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
That's one of the things I addressed in the article.
I talked to two sports sports law experts. The three
nightmare scenarios that I see potentially coming down the pike
are unlimited eligibility, being able to transfer in season, and
(10:54):
we've talked about that the three of us have, and
also turning pro playing in the NFL for five years,
and then I'm went back and played in college, and
the notion of amateurism is under assault the extent that
you can't rule any of those things out.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I mean, I could see a situation where you
don't even need to be in school to be playing
for these teams down the road. I just don't think
anything should be dismissed as stupid as it sounds. John
Wilners with us. John Danny Sprinkle was on with us.
We're going to replay it coming up in the six
pm hour for those that missed it, because I thought
he was really good. He's putting a lot of expectations
on himself, by the way, for the upcoming season. We
(11:34):
asked him, what does he expect that of Husky basketball
in twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
What he said, my expectation is to be in the
NCAA tournament and not just get there, like you know,
we gotta win games in the Nskavuay Tournament.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I've never been so motivated. In fact, I'm pissed off.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So he's putting the bullseye squarely on himself John for
next year. Right, what do you make of that decision
by Danny Sprinkle?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Well, I think that's good just to raise the bar
for his players and for himself, and he's he's done
a nice job. I have been very impressed with Washington's
roster makeover, a little bit surprised by the resources available
for Washington Basketball's nil.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Bank account. It's pretty impressible.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I don't know all the details of who's behind that,
but somebody is really helping that program out. And he's
going to have a roster that I think is probably
gonna be picked, you know, six to eight to ten
in the Big ten next season. And if you're in
that window in the Big ten, you've got a good
chance to make the intblas.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh, if you're six to eight, you're pretty much a
lock in the Big Ten.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Right, they got They had eight teams in this year,
so yeah, yeah, they've done a nice job.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
They have done a really nice job remaking that roster.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Hey, John, do you like the timing of Speaking of
tournament basketball, do you like the timing of the women's
tournament or should have happened before or after the men's tournament?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think it's good because it is.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I think they piggybacks in terms of interest, and they
play off each other, I think, and if they tried
to move it either before or after, there would be
so much outrage that it was getting unequal treatment that
I mean, I can't even see it happening, honest with you,
I think they should move both of them.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
To be honest, I think they should move back a few.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Weeks and start the thing at the very end of March,
because that would now allow them to move the start
of the season foward into December and cut down on
the overlap of football.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Right right, John.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Remember those old things that you'd go into a motel
in the middle of nowhere and you put a quarter
in the bed would vibrate.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Remember those things back in the day, one of those hotels. No, no, no, no,
I'm just saying that John's phone for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Every week, about fifteen minutes in you start to sound
like this, he's better now, and you just did it again.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's not your fault.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's like it's like, we only get fifteen minutes before
somebody's got to put a quarter into your phone, so
we got we gotta find a way to check that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
But John, I don't know what's going on. It's very odd.
I know it's not your fault. No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's just really weird. I mean, Jackson confirmed this. Every
single week it comes on like fifteen minutes into this
same damn.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
It's only for five seconds. It's only very weird seconds
each time.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Can you just start to carry some dimes or nickels
with you, by the way, and just feed the machine
for crying out loud? John Wilner is with us again
right here on ninety three three kJ AIRFM. I want
to go back to the Demon Williams thing for a second,
because I think that there's a question about this is
a guy in jed Fish that purposely put Jonah Coleman
(14:45):
back into a game a year ago to have him
get one hundred yards. And I see CSU meaning Colorado State.
You see Davis and Wazoo in the first three games
of the year. Don't want to look past anybody. Obviously
we all know what happened last year at Lumenfield. But
Jetfish the kind of guy who's already been talking about
New York and the Heisman for demon where he would
(15:07):
load up his numbers in those first three games of
the year just to get this guy on the Heisman radar.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Absolutely, I think he would, and I think you know
we saw he he he will do that. He did
that in Arizona to a certain extent with with Tenero
McMillan right, in terms of getting the ball to his playmakers.
I mean, it's certainly not entirely motivated by just the
Heisman spotlight. It is, but it is an offshoot of
(15:38):
given your best players the ball with the chance to
make the greatest impact. And you look at Williams's you know,
run pass, dual threat skills and that schedule, and you
can you can certainly sketch out in your head that
he's going to be one of those surprise candidates there
(15:59):
are every year.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There are some. The big issue will be if he
does have a hot start, right, what kind of play.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Is he going to get on the big ten TV
windows right in terms of maximum exposure, And there's no
way to know now, but certainly they got you know,
if he plays well at home. The Ohio State game
is like late September, right it's I think it's the
same day that Oregon.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Plays PENNSA September twenty So, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Same day Oregon plays Penn State. Huge day right there.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
If he has a hot start and then they get
that game on, you know, assuming it's not on Peacock,
that could be a huge, huge.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Game for Williams for the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
John was Washington State and Oregon State happy with their
exposure last year? And you wrote this last week about
the PAC two meteor rites for this year and what
it looks like tell us about it.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, they were very happy with how it went with
the CW and it was you know, given the circumstances,
I think they were right to be happy with it.
That is the one of the big questions for the
new PAC twelve is if you have a choice, if
the option is let's take a TV deal that gives
(17:13):
us a little bit more money but a little less
exposure on linear TV, or more exposure on linear TV
and a little less money.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I think they need to go for the exposure.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I think they got to get as many games on
broadcast or table as they can, whether that is the
CW or Fox, ESPN, Turner. That's what they need to
focus on because the next five years is a tryout.
It's an audition for a lot of these schools to
get into whatever happens next.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Hey, so I saw this the other day on social media,
and I'm telling you, man, there's rumors and sometimes stories
are born on X and Twitter. Right, I mean, as
crazy as and nonsensical as things sound, sometimes things just
kind of come.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Out of nowhere. Have you seen this crazy rumor about
Utah ditching the Big twelve for the Big Ten.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I did see it, and I got a good laugh
out of it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Okay, good.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So, I mean you're not buying that. I don't know. No,
I'm not buying that at all.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
That is rooted in the fact that Utah didn't really
want to go to the Big twelve, right. Utah really
wanted the Pac.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Twelve to stay together. And Utah also.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Thinks that it is a Big ten worthy school football
academically and in some ways, Utah is a Big ten school.
I agree with that assessment, more of a Big ten
school than a Big twelve school. But no, I have
no reason to think that that's true. And they've got
a contract with the you know, a grant of rights deal,
(18:45):
so it's it's ridiculous. There's gonna be a lot of
ridiculous realignment stuff the next three or four years, and
then things will get real serious in like twenty eight,
twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, just ridiculous stuff like Stanford and cal go to
the a CEC.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's crazy. I don't never happened ever.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
All Right, John, you're the man, great stuff, and we're
talking a week, buddy, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
John, Thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right, John Wilner with us on the radio show
We're Gonna break. Brian Schmitzer will join us coming up
five to forty five. Right here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You're listening to the home of the Husky, the krukn
and Cle's best NFL Draft coverage Jim the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft. Now back to Suthian did proudly brought
to you by Emerald Queen Casino on Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
All right, boys and girls, we're back on a busy
Tuesday night.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Brian Schmetzer will join us a weekly visit with a
Sounders head coach and just general shenanigans.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
What can we do?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
You know?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I propose a new segment, by the way, for the
Brian Schmitzer visit every Tuesday at five forty five, a
new feature, if you will, any Brian Schmetzer segment? How
about what can we do to piss off Sounders media?
At five forty five with Brian Schmetz.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Uh he did not speak today, which means that we
get the fresh injury news that he hasn't given to anybody.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Somebody to tell Jada Evans we're about to have some
news or we're gonna get it first before you.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
How's that saying he would have given us the fresh
injury news even if he had.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Talked to Who else is there that we should irritate?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
What are the names of some of the other because
there's like Jackson's told us before privately off of the air,
how much you can't stand the Sounders meaty bunch of
know nothing, gnattering knay bombs of negativity?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You have said that to us? Is there a bunch
of them complaining or just one. Isn't there audio? By
the way, there is audio? Well don't you want to
play it?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (20:39):
Because one of the guys who complained is a good
friend of mine, and we spoke and like it's all
good now, and oh no, it's just sort of like,
listen this.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Who's your friend? Is it Jeremy? Is that your buddy?
Speaker 7 (20:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
No, My good friend is Nico Moraine. I know Nico. Yeah,
Nico is a good dude. Yeah, very good dude.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
And he was he was mad that the injury update
didn't match what if he did five hours earlier, but
he and I talked about it and were on good terms.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
We'll just have them listen to the show and they
can get all the info they need. That's what I said.
Just listen to the radio. I'm very simple. Then they
save them the trip down there.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
There's no point for any of these people to even
have jobs, to be honest, just let us do your
work for you. So Brian will join us coming up
at five point forty five. All right, you know one
thing we haven't talked about yet today. Jalen Milroe, according
to Adam Schefter, was in town today visiting the Seahawks,
and I would just say, for what reason?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Why was he here? Why would he be here? Well,
because Jalen Milroe is a freak azoid athlete.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Why would he be here that somebody is going to
take a shot on I think in as high as
the first round, and the Seahawks want to make sure
that they either have interest or feign interest in Jalen
Milroe because if some team wants to trade up to
eighteen to take Jalen Milroe, maybe the Seahawks can benefit.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
So quote from John Schneider, we wanted to see what
it looked like to look at a quarterback who cannot
throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
That's why we brought Jalen Milroe to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I mean I'm being half sarcastic here, Dick obviously humor
me because the guy can't throw right and look, you
want to draft him to do what to be Taysom Hill.
I mean, I think people have talked about that he's
kind of a different body than Taysom Hill, different style
of running than Taysom Hill. I mean, do you draft
them early to be a freakazoid athlete? Do you draft
them early to be a you know, a short down
(22:32):
running back, you know, kind of a change of pace
running back, or excuse me, change a pace quarterback from
Sam Darnald. Like, if you draft them early, you're drafting
Jalen Milroll to be your next starting quarterback, right, if
he's a first or a second round guy, you're drafting
him to be the air apparent to whatever Sam Darnald
does for you in the next maybe year, two three years.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I just have no confidence whatsoever in Jalen Milroll being
able to survive.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
In the NFL as a thrower, none at all.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
One of the most stunning things in all of college
football for me last year was how Jalen Millroe did
not work with Kailen de Boor, and how Jalen Millroe
turned from a sixty six completion twenty three touchdown six
interception quarterback not under Kailn de bor Right to a
sixty four percent sixteen touchdown eleven interception a little bit
(23:24):
an interception quarterback with Kailen de Bory.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, I mean, that's not a big drop in completion percentage,
but he would tell you the completion percentage is kind
of hard to get the full picture, right, like what
kind of throws.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Are touchdown perception right? Sentence two?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Sure, but the completion, Like I think people see My
point is this. People see sixty six and sixty four
and think.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Oh, that's pretty good. That's not bad. Right, it's not
a terrible But where are those balls going?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Are Are they catch a ball? Are they not catch
a ball? Are they within you know, zero to four yards?
Are they twenty plus yards downfield? So you ten words
of completion would eight point nine yards? I would ask
you about that on Friday when he comes on about
Jalen Milroe and how enthralled we should be with this
completion percentage. I just think it's one of those things
(24:10):
where you look at this and you remember the games
of his that you watched, right, And I watched a
lot of Jalen Milroe. I watched a lot of Alabama
football this year, more so than probably ever because of
Kaylen de boor right. I mean, they come on, I'm
more curious now to watch them play and whatever. And
I thought he looked terrible. I mean my eyes and
again I don't have the greatest ice sight in the world,
but my eyes told me that he was awful as
(24:32):
a junior. I don't remember Hi much as a junior,
to be honest with you, because to me, I thought
he was I didn't watch as much Alabama football when
Kaylan was coaching at Washington.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Well see, I'm probably more like the majority of Husky fans.
I watched less Jalen. I watched less Alabama after Kailen
de Bor.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Interesting, And I think most Husky fans probably watched less
Alabama when Kaylen de Bor. Why because they're angry about
Klen de Bor going there.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I mean, I have no idea how anybody could even
know that to quote Napoleon Dynamite, to be totally honest
with you, but you, I mean, you could be right.
I just know this that I don't remember watching a
lot of Milrow when he was a junior, and I
remember watching him last year, and I remember texting Ryan
Fowler during the season, going is.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
There anybody else that can play quarterback for you? Guys?
Like is this the best you can do? And He's like,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean they were talking about yanking him and benching him,
and his whole point the entire year was that he's
well liked in the locker room. If they bench him,
he'll lose the locker room. Well, he's about to lose
the locker room because they're going to lose four or
five games, and they did.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
So.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I mean, are we excited about the idea of Jalen
Milroe getting drafted by the Seahawks.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
No, not at all, because again, because you would have
to take him in the top couple rounds. And if
we're talking about a team that, yes, maybe wants to
run the ball, run the bro run ball. Sure, but
you're eventually going to have a third and fifteen. And
if we're going to go a third and fifteen with
zero confidence that we're going to get it, yeah, that's
not a guy I'm taking in the first two rounds.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Not me, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I'm not intrigued by this at all. I don't want
the Hawks to have anything to do with the guy
zero unless he's like a Day three dude.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Right, Yeah, if you get him in like thee in
the second round, get in the second round. No, No,
I mean if you get him in the fourth okay,
but like even top three rounds, a quarterback that gives
you very little confidence throwing the ball, like that's just
not worth a top three pick.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Don't you think a second round draft pick as a
quarterback as a guy that you eventually will hope to
become your starting quarterback horse?
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Right? Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So think about the guys that the Seahawks got in
the second round. Bobby Wagner was a second round pick.
DK Metcalf was a second round Did you love Jalen
Hurts as a pass was either Locket a second round pick?
Speaker 8 (26:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I did not, did not, And I think she was
Inprouper Bowl.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Yeah, based upon largely based upon his leadership and his athleticism. Sure,
he's a better thrower than this guy, but he wasn't.
He wasn't I think he was a better thrower. Jackson
wasn't a great thrower at Louisville. He's a fifty seven complete,
ten percent completion guy.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I again with the completion percentage.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I am not ready to say that Jalen Milroe is
not going to be a really good quarterback in the
NFL because he has athleticism that we have never seen.
His size, speed, compare you know numbers all. He's he
is twenty, he is the same height as Lamar Jackson,
(27:27):
and he is twenty pounds heavier, and he's faster.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, look, there's been a lot of guys that have
improved his passers. Tyler Huntley is one of them. I
thought his jumpy away when he was at Utah from
like his junior to senior year was unbelievable. He couldn't
throw and then all of a sudden they changed coaches
and boom, look at the guy and he's in the
National Football League. But if you are waiting for Jalen
Milroe to become Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, then you
better damn well go get the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line
(27:52):
to play with him.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Okay, So I mean, if do you.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Want to take him in the second round, I'd be intrigued,
really really could be intrigued really quick. Jalen Hurts Finally
year in college he threw for almost four thousand yards,
thirty two touchdowns, eight interceptions, completion.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Not good and not good. And then he transferred. He
transferred to No No Jackson. He was better at Oklahoma
for sure.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Benched for two a tongue of I Lowes in the
National Championship Game.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
He was better at Oklahoma. There's no need to look
at numbers. He was better at better thrower than Jalen
Milroe by far. That that that's he's entirely accurate about that.
That is correct far Jalen Hurts. Jalen Milroe never did
what Jalen Hurts did at Oklahoma. Maybe he needed to
leave and go somewhere else. I mean, look, if you
want to, if you would draft them, draft him. I'm
(28:44):
not drafting him in the second round, no shot.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
I'm doing seventeen touchdowns one interception in twenty seventeen at
Bama seventeen to one.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
We have seen a lot of players improve, There is
no question Dick is right, uh that guys get better.
But my god, making this guy a second round draft
pick to be your next starting quarterback after what you
saw in his last season. If he had transferred and
did what Jalen Hurts did somewhere else, or even done
that at Alabama, I would have been like, hey, great,
(29:11):
this is phenomenal, awesome. So where do you think he's gone.
Where do you guys think he's gonna I got no idea.
I'm just saying I don't want the Hawks taking him
in the second I think.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
He goes before the Seahawks picking two.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Maybe yeah, I mean, I mean, look, you could be right,
somebody maybe falls in love with him just because of
the skill and goes nuts. I don't want the Hawks
to be that team. We're gonna break. Brian Schmittzer will
join us next on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You're listening to the home of the Husky Kruk and
Seattle's Vets. The NFL Draft coverage gen the twenty twenty
five NFL Draft. Now back to Suthian Dick, proudly brought
to you by Emerald Queen Casino on Sports Radio ninety
three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
All right, we are back the segment.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Everybody in the assembled Sounder Media Corps has been waiting
for the latest, the very latest stuff you only get here,
information you only can get on this radio station every
Tuesday of Friday forty five with our friend from the
Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer, joining us atop right now.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
How are you man?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Well good? You put me in a little pressure there.
I'm trying to think what scoop I can give you.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Well, let's you know what, Let's just start there. Never
mind all the stuff we had planned. Is there anything
that you're sitting on that you're not supposed to tell
us that you want to tell us?
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Let me see.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Trade possession, signing, an injury Yeah, no, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
I did go on an injury report. I mean that's
the That's the only thing that's really maybe controversial because look,
we had to hold Jordan out of the last game.
But I think he's going to be ready to start.
So maybe that's the scoop I want to give you.
Ryan Kent, you know, has his visa. If he looks
good in training this week, he might, you know, make
(30:58):
an appearance on the bench. So there's scoop number two.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I love it all right, good good stuff. You got
the win, got the win in Dallas. Takeaways from your
one nil victory?
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Thank god?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
How about that? We needed that.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
We needed that for a lot of different reasons. But
the most important thing that we took from that game
was just look, we're under a bit of adversity. Like
I said, Jordan was a pretty quick, unexpected scratch, and
Danny Masoski came in the field, did a good job,
scored the winning goal. Guys came together, Jackson Reagan going
(31:38):
down with a hamstring injury, more adversity, kim Key, he
his first action of the year played really well. It
was just a real team effort and a real good
team mentality on the road, which we know it's hard
to win on the road in MLUS, right.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well, Brian Schmeetzer again is with us. If we told
you a few weeks ago that you'd be one and
one and one one one in one on the.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Road trip, while dealing with all the injuries you had,
would that have felt like kind of a win for you?
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Man?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well?
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Yeah, I mean maybe. I mean, look, we're a pretty
good road team, softy. If Jackson does his job and
he goes back through the stats, he could probably give
you some nuggets for next week. But it's like, we're
pretty good on the road. Last year we had eight
wins on the road, so that's that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
That would involve Jackson doing his job, though, you know,
which you know sometimes will happen.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
So I know this.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Sorry, I know that, I know, I know, I know
Bright Spitzer joining us before let's get some other injury news.
You gave us a couple of nuggets there. How about
Pedro de la Vega gave you forty five minutes in Dallas.
What more can he give you this week?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Will increase his minutes, He'll still be on a time restriction,
and again it's a time restriction, but it's also by
the GPS unit he wears on the back of their jersey.
We usually take exact measurements. When he hits his measure
marks will pull him off. But then I know you're
gonna ask me about Albert Rusnak and Alex Roldan and
(33:06):
those guys are in training. Some of it's partial training.
They've got a big day tomorrow. If they can come
through tomorrow, then I'd probably have more news, more positive
news towards the end of the week.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What about Reagan got banged up in the Dallas game.
What's kind of his status long term?
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You think not a good one.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
Not a good one. That's four to six week right
hand string, not a good one.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
How'ses the Western Conference shaping up versus what you thought
it was going to look like at this point with
most teams playing you know, seven eight games, Dick, That's a.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
Great question because I didn't think that. The Galaxy, although
they lost Ricky Pughue, so maybe that's they've given them
a little bit of a path. You know, they're way
at the bottom. I would have liked our team because
we got a good team. I would have been better
if our team was a little higher up in the standings.
But the surprise to me of all the teams in
the Western Conference has to be the Vancouver white Caps.
(34:07):
I mean, they're just flying and the new coach, I mean,
talk about a new coach bump. It's been really impressive
to watch.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Well, Brian Schmetzer again, who was not a new coach.
He's been around for a long time with us on
the radio show. So moving on to this week's game.
All right, you got to kind of figure out what
the hell Jackson's talking about here and interpret this from
me because I got no idea what he's babbling about.
He says Nashville has a high x G. What the
hell does that freaking mean?
Speaker 3 (34:35):
And what is he smoking?
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Well, I don't know what he's smoking. But expected goals
is one of those is one of those kind of
fancy statistics that guys like to use, you know, when
they're measuring our sport. Sometimes you can't measure our sport
because look, it's fluid, we're always moving but expected goals
is a big stat now. And look, Nashville is a
(34:59):
good team, give them credit. But look we're at home
and we're a good team.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
How about bj Callahan, he was he was the coach
of the US national team. What do you like about him?
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Well, he stuck with it. He's got a job now
in MLS. The national team experience with Greg Burhalter probably
was a good one. Uh So, you know, I'm expecting
a tough matchup.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What about that team, by the way, they've had kind
of a nightmare of the last couple of months. The
US men's national team have been following them at all,
And what's.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Going on with that program? Coach?
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Well, okay, all right, you want to you want to
dig deep here. Yeah, Look, and that team is going
to be fine. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell everybody that
that Look, they're going to be fine. Uh the guys
are going to have to figure out that we're hosting
the United States. And look, I read Landon Donovan's comments,
you know about you know, the everybody's upsets and Hercules
(35:55):
Gomez and all these guys, all the pundits, and they're
some truth to that. I think the American spirit. The
guys that put on the jersey need to just stop,
eliminate all the noise and just do the work. And
if they do that, they're super talented players as well.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, then you tell me off the air in a
private moment that you don't think Pochettino can coach.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Was not you who said that? Maybe it's probably I
love yours guy.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
All right, man, listen, great stuff, best of luck, and
we're talking a.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Week all all right, take care guys.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
All right.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
