Speaker 1 (00:56):
Wrapping Fire, cut down Headlines, DACS We've got a busy
shit hughed here, Danie O'Neil, bottom of the hour. We
got a lot going on today, but I want to
get to this real fast. Derek Hall suspended one game
by the NFL for stepping on Uh which would which Oh,
Kevin Dotson, the offensive guard the replay, He I don't
even think he did. He stepped over him. Well, he

(01:17):
The thing was, Dodson got hurt on the play, so
he's and he's they carted him off and he's got
a boot and all that. So that's why that happened.
Injuries to Kobe Bryant, Reek Wollen MRIs doesn't sound overly serious.
They both may miss a little bit of time, but
doesn't sound like he's the ending. According to Mike McDonald's
Short Time Ago, Hugh Melon is with me right now. Hello, Hugh,
how are you? What's happening? How are you doing? Great?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Show?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
You and fame? Last night? Oh, some of us from
driving home from a hockey broadcast set. At least a
dozen people were watching while the Sea Hawk game was
going on, and uh, you know, I'm I'm I was multitasking.
I had the two screens up watching football and hockey,
trying to immerse myself in both. Last night incredible. I
gotta tell this funny story. We go in to do
the Seconder mission, which is about we're We're in the

(02:00):
studio for about twelve thirteen minutes and I went in there.
The Seahawks were down sixteen. I'm like, okay, well let's
think it over whatever. I would come walking through our
control room and Hugh, you've been in TV control rooms,
you know. I got like fifty monitors up there right there,
layers of people and all this. They had a bunch
of the bunch of them were on the Seahawk game.
And I glanced over there and I'm like, and I'd

(02:21):
heard some rumbling in the hall through soundproof walls, which
is hard. And I look up there and I'm like,
does this say thirty to twenty eight? And they're like yeah,
And I said what They're like a rachet sha heat
and then this and then I'm like, oh my god,
and then I saw so i'd luckily in real time,
I got to see the two point conversion that Charbona
casually picked up for the two points and away we go.

(02:43):
But just a wild night all the way around. Hugh
I want to get into Sam Darnold if I can't
because we don't have a ton of time. We don't
have a ton of time today, so I want to
get into that quick story. I think I told you
this a few weeks ago. I was doing the morning
show hit like we do for people, you know, we
have people on, they have people on. I was doing
for the Jacksonville Jaguars radio station, and before the Seahawks

(03:07):
played the Jags, as in the morning show with those guys,
I got my butt up early in the morning. Nice
nice of Vian to do that. Very good conversation with
the boys. We're talking about the game and then they said,
well what will the difference of the game be? And
I said, Sam Donald versus Trevor Lawrence, the guy appears
better than your guy. Period into story. They're very and

(03:29):
Mike Sander told me this to Hugh. They are very,
very protective of old Sunshine down there was long hair,
and they lost their mind both on the air and
then they made it go viral. I'm getting just hammered
by literally thousands of fans from Jacksonville, the masses coming
at me. Donald's ob Then the game happened, and if

(03:49):
you remember Seahawks started slow in that game, and then
they kind of cranked it up and they won going away,
and Sam was really good, and then it was like crickets, crickets, well, Hugh.
Last night, somewhere around seven o'clock Pacific time, I glanced
down at my Twitter mentions a whole bunch of Jacksonville
fans coming out of the woodwork. They're all chirping, Guy's better,
Donald's awful, blah blah blah, and I'm like, you know,

(04:09):
what's weird? A lot of people in Seattle say the
same thing. Sometimes. I don't think that. I think Sam
Donald is a massive upgrade from last year. And in
the end, Hugh, in the end, Seattle wins the football game.
He did throw a couple of interceptions along the way,
but Sam Donald leads Seattle to the win over the
La Rams, along with a lot of help from a

(04:30):
lot of other people. But I want to go down
the Sam Donald road with you for a second. If
I can't, Okay, I believe in my heart of hearts,
but not the football expert and acumen that you have
that the Seattle Seahawks are not sitting right now with
the record they have at twelve and three atop the
NFC number one seed if they don't have Sam Donald

(04:51):
and they had Gino Smith instead, Am I wrong in
that assessment?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, we'll never know, and I think that certainly it's
not provable, it's not fall sufiable. All you can do
is kind of make inferences and look, I.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Try.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I tend to want to defend Sam Darnold on where
I could really dig in and supply evidence that is
relevant and compelling.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And one of the things that I look at is
over the last thirty nine starts, going back to over
three years ago, covering four different teams, he has a
win percentage of sixty seven percent excuse me, seventy seven percent.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Seventy seven percent.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
And he has the number of I'm updating it that
the percentage of those games where he has a triple
digit passer rating is sixty four percent. To put that
into context, both Brady and Mahomes for their career are
under fifty percent on those numbers, and Mahomes over the

(05:56):
last three years is way under I think it's even
under forty percent. So Sam Donald winning seventy seven percent
and playing at that level, you know, that's certainly relevant. Now,
the other part of it that the kind of gets
me Ian is this whole business that Sam Donald never

(06:19):
won a big game prior to and I'm still hearing it.
I'm still hearing it, and it's kind of irking to me.
The point that and I think I know all the
people that cover the Seahawks in Seattle, and it's a
wonderful group of professionals.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
But I'm going to challenge him.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
It's one thing if you're just a fan at a
bar and you don't know what I'm about to say,
But if you get, if you earn one dollar, if
you make money commenting on the Seattle Seahawks, how do
you not know the following? On December twenty ninth last year,
Sam Donald went in and with the Packers when they

(06:59):
were when they the Vikings were thirteen and two, and
the Packers they're, you know, they're wrestling. The Packers want
to try and knock them off. Sam Donald. He he
knocks out the Packers and I'm trying to get about
three hundred and twenty seven yards and and here's the part.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
If you go on YouTube and you just google the.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Falling, just search the following uh, and this, I'm gonna
go read word for word Kevin O'Connell's locker room speech
after Minnesota Vikings win over Green Bay Packers. Hey, you'll
see that Sam Donald comes in after doing media stuff
and his and his teammates mullin. They're shaking water all

(07:41):
over me. It's like it's like a hero's welcome. It's
like he just will save nineteen guys in a war.
And all of a sudden he's on their shoulders and
they're singing, you know, you know, for reasons all you
get felt, you know, not that, but you know something
like that. Yeah, and and and Kevin O'Connell's just sitting
there watching his quarterback be exalted by his And that
was in year one. And I'm gonna just I'm gonna

(08:04):
just let's just carry this out like Aristotle would. If
you see, if your quarterback is on the shoulders of
the teammates in the locker, on the shoulders, then he
just won a big game. There is no that that
is pure a logic modus ponus logic. If A, then

(08:27):
B right. If it's raining, the street is wet. If
you're on the shoulders of your teammates, in a football game.
You just won a big game because teams don't do that.
You've been in a hell of a lot of lockers.
I bet Tom Brady didn't even get up on the
shoulders after he brought brought him back from the twenty
five points down the Super Bowl. So that was and

(08:48):
that was on December twenty ninth of last year. So
that was a big game late in the year. So uh,
those are one who were saying he's never won a
big game. Well, you can't say that any more because
of last night. And I think it was silly to
say it before, but people are still talking about it.
It's at and I'll just quote Don James. He said

(09:10):
that they always say the big game is the one
you lost. And he said that to the Seattle Times
in nineteen ninety nine. You can search that too, and
they never want to give you credit for the ones
you won. And you remember when Seattle last year a
year goes says the Seahawks either need to beat the
Vikings or the Packers, the Vikings or the Packers, And

(09:31):
the Vikings came in and how to and and Sam Darnold,
you know, went lights out hit that that fade ball
to Justin Jefferson while he's sprinting up towards the lion
of Scammage.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Was that not a big game?

Speaker 4 (09:41):
It was a shirt that held big game for the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, and the last year game against Seattle. Yeah, when
he was twenty two of thirty five and threw for
three touchdowns and no picks. Yeah, he was okay in
that game against Seattle. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
So like like I'm just gonna change. I'm gonna say
it again. If you make a single dollar being paid
to discuss the Seattle Seahawks, how do you not know this?
Because I just think it needs to stop. To say
that he never won a big game? Is you know
what to say that? You cannot reconcile those two facts.

(10:13):
You cannot say a the Minnesota Vikings put Sam Donald
on their shoulders in the locker and then say that
he's never won a big game. Those facts are incongruent.
They cannot exist together.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, part of it, too, Hugh, is that you know,
first of all, you're right when you start your career
with one of the lowliest worst franchises in the NFL
year in a year out, you're not going to have
a lot of big game opportunities, I e. The Jets,
I look back many Yeah, like I'll look back. By
the way, the Green Bay game you're referencing for those
wondering Sam Donald last year in Week sixteen, twelve, Week seventeen,

(10:51):
but Week sixteen, Game sixteen, in a massive game for
the NFC North that he was referencing thirty three for
forty three three seventy seven three touchdowns in.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
A twenty seven to twenty five Like they needed all
of that.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
They won game they needed.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
So, by the way, if you just go to YouTube,
I'm not giving you some secret code.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
This is just YouTube.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
It's not behind a paywall. Google search what I said,
and then you're gonna see Kevin O'Connell give him a
game ball. And you know what he does when he
gives them a game ball. He says, Vikings team record
for wins fourteen wins, and that wasn't by virtue of
the seventeenth game. He did that in the sixteen. So
this is a The Viking has been around since nineteen

(11:34):
sixty if I'm not mistaken. So he's getting a game
ball in year one setting the all time Viking records
for wins and they what have they done this year
without him. It's right, so so so please can we
put some context as to what we're defining big games
because right now I feel like we're just saying the
big games are the ones that Sam Donald lost.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I think with Sam Donald, I think that when you
look at who he is, and this goes back to USC,
he's a guy that he doesn't have the Russell Wilson.
You know, he's not a very flamboyant guy, right, and
things go good, things go bad a lot of times.
It's kind of the same facial expression. He internalizes things,
so he's you know, so you don't see some of

(12:15):
that stuff. And I think, you know, whereas you see
the fake all the time, Hugh, like you see the
phony all the time. And I I bring this up
a lot, and I'm gonna bring it up again. Gino
Smith was raw raw, great backup quarterback. Things are good
my first year as a starter. We got to the playoffs,
and then what happened in San Francisco. We all know Gino,

(12:35):
and then things started not always going well. We started
seeing the true colors, as Sneelapper would sing, right, we
started seeing the true body. Horrible, horrible, but and watch
him this year. Yeah, bad football team, bad everything there,
but bad body language on every series things don't go well,
you better grab it an extremity and pretend like you're hurt,

(12:57):
whatever it might be. Gino Sam Donald doesn't ever do that.
He doesn't get too high, doesn't get too low, and
in the big game, he leaves him to win. I
got I'm gonna go this. Analyst choice Hugh for the
final six minutes. Analyst choice one of two things. Yeah,
the two point conversion to win the game, or any
concerns about the defense, or maybe you can do both.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Oh well, I'm ready for all of that. The two
point conversion to win the game. Uh, you got a
Trip's a bunch of trips right with what's called a
nub tight end. Solder was an aligned next to Josh Jones,
who had a hell of a game filling in right

(13:40):
for Charles Cross in my opinion, and you know, just
as Evance. But you don't even remember them talking about him.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Nope, nope, right, nope. And so that's a good thing
if you're an offensive lineman. By the way, asked you
for right, it's a very good thing.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, I see out of the news I'm happy right exactly.
And so they ran a three man concept with a
cup in the flat to the right, trying to get
in jigb in the back of the end zone. And uh,
and you've got Barners kind of sitting over the middle
of the ball, and so that those those three man
concepts are are kind of zone beaters. But credit the Rams,

(14:14):
they gloved it up. There was nothing there with those
three guys. So now with the benefit of really good protection,
it was just a four man rush. Now Here, here's
the critical part for Darnold, and this is this is
this is a simple part of quarterbacking, but many quarterbacks
get it wrong. He had two check back checkdowns. He

(14:37):
had Zach Charbonnet in what's called the check swing. So
he's looking as the outside linebacker come from my side
on the left. Nope, okay, I I and then I
release on a swing or he's got solder. Make sure
I'm pronouncing a sober eighty one. He's gonna he's gonna block, block, block, block, block, block,

(15:00):
and then check over the middle. Now, with the benefit
of that good protection, which obviously he didn't always have,
he could have scanned right to left. It would be
very easy for him to have just boomed. Let me
go to the swing. I don't think there's any chance
that if he throws the swing out there that Charbonnay

(15:20):
doesn't get tackled. There's one guy for sure, and another
guy closing. I think there would have been two guys
in a position to sandwich him. I don't think he
gets to the goal line whatsoever, and the Seahawks lose
the game. There are a hell of a lot of quarterbacks,
a hell of a lot of quarterbacks Ian that would
have thrown that swing round. And Darnold had the sense
of like, hey, I've got the time. He remained calm,

(15:43):
and he waited for Salber over the middle, and you
know so he made the right decision on the checkdown.
Was it a difficult throw? Of course not. He could
have done that when he was in middle school, probably
early middle school, sixth grade. The throw was not difficult.
The part that was his veterans stature was electing to

(16:07):
go to whitch of checkdowns. You want to say it's
the fourth guy, fine, you want to say it's the
fifth guy. I could make an argument either way that
was either the fourth or the fifth, because they're kind
of equal the last guys in the progression. They're both
check releases, and and uh, look, obviously he made the
right decision. He threw it to the only guy of
five that was going to win the game. Not a

(16:29):
difficult throw, not necessarily a difficult read from the camera
on the third level. When I watched the tape, I'm like, well,
of course you threw it over the middle. But I've
been down there, and I've been around other guys that
have been down there, and it's not as easy to
process when you're the guy, you know, a ground level,

(16:51):
and so any of it really good execution, great play
call flowers for everybody on that play. The offense start
with click Kobe, give him flowers. The offensive line flowers. Uh,
And then you know, I wouldn't give a bunch of
flowers to the receivers. They didn't get open. But that's
not because there's anything they could do. Sometimes, you know,

(17:13):
if you don't win in man, then you can kind
of put it on receivers. But there's some zone concepts
where you say, I don't care who you are. You
could take Jerry Rice in his prime, you know Nuki's Xbox.
You know, rating up by fifty percent and he's still
not getting open against.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
That zone coverage. Yeah yeah, right, and.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
And and so that's what you had. But but anyways,
getting the check down probably too much time. But cool, No,
I think it's great. You know, I'm glad you mentioned
that it looks good.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Here's the thing that the All twenty two which you study,
you know, in an amazing fashion and detailed fashion. You know,
the three hundred level cameras, end zone, high, high middle,
all those things. You see. There's a lot of times
when things do look really easy and and you're like, oh,
why why didn't you just throw it here? Why didn't
you just do that? You mentioned you've been there. You've,

(18:03):
unlike most of us, Humellan has taken snaps in the
National Football League as an NFL quarterback, a lot of them.
And I've been lucky enough to be on a field
for a lot of games, especially early on when I
came back here covering that team, especially in the early
the twenty thirteen fourteen seasons when we were their partner.
We were down there all the time, and I think

(18:24):
people would be amazed. It's one thing to be down
there for warm ups. They let a lot of people
do that. You go, hey, down there for warm ups,
you see and you see the athletes and see how
big and fast and strong, they're like whoa. When you're
on the field and you are watching a game, even
I think, if you're talking about big time college football,
you right, like, you know, like SOFTI would tell you this,
to be down there on the field and to look

(18:45):
and see. And I've stayed, I've stood in the end
zones many times. I'm like, I don't know how a quarterback?
How do you do it? Like it's an amazing phenomenon.
The you know, you always have about gumming it up
and the muck and you know and all that kind
of stuff. Dirty pocket is dirty pocket and all those things.
And to have the wherewithal knowing that not just the
games on the line, as Donald had right there, not

(19:05):
just the game, but bigger issues like home field advantage,
winning a division, you're going to get to the playoffs.
Everyone knew they were ninety nine percent chance to get
in the playoffs before that game, they're going to get in.
But that game had massive, massive ramifications, all those things
going on primetime football and all that, and for him,
as you said, to have the patience, because I think
you're right, a lot of I'm watching that play again,

(19:27):
a lot of well, I'm just going to throw it
to charge and yeah, and you know what, he's not
getting in. But I did my job. I didn't get sacked.
You know I didn't. I didn't whatever. It's up to
Charby like he no, he waited, had the patience and
the wherewithal. That takes a lot. Man, That takes a
lot for a dude to do well.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
I think this, and I'll close with this thought because
on the two interceptions, those are bad interceptions. The first one,
you got a double slant concept. Outside of of the
in line tight end, they go two D five hundred
disguise slot defender, like if he doesn't reduce and collapse it,
you can't throw to the widest like that's a high

(20:06):
school level like no, no, right, all right, So I
am not excusing that interception whatsoever. Is basically a pick six.
And then the other one was a cover zero a
man a man no free safety, but they dropped out
two defensive line a in a rat concept to be underneath.
It's the identical coverage that Leonard Williams had the ninety

(20:27):
two yard pick six against Aaron Rodgers last week. Identical
cover zero double rat that's my terminology. It's the same coverage,
and so you can see that guy really easy on
the TV. But when to his left because the center
was going right, there was a there was three three
defend defenders rushing against the left guard and left tackle

(20:50):
was all collapsing him. That's five human beings. I don't
know which one got in his vision. I could, I
could probably guess, but one of those guys got in
of those five guys got in his vision. A didn't
see him, And I would say it's both difficult, as
evidence by Aaron Rodgers and Darnald throwing those interceptions, but
it must be done. If you can't if you can't

(21:13):
do that, you can't play. So those are terrible interceptions.
But here's the part. At that point when he threw
that second interception, his passer rating for the game was
fifty one point one and his expected points at average
we've discussed negative point four to nine per play for
the game. What's that context? You say, I don't know

(21:34):
what the hell that means. The very best in the
NFL's Matthew Stafford is point twenty four positive point two four.
The worst is negative point two four. So okay, he
was negative point four to nine at that junction in
the game. But from that point on he had to
dig deep find all the metal. With all of the

(21:57):
everything the way to the stadium coming down on him,
he still had a game to win. And from that
point on he had one hundred and thirty seven passer
rating and a point nine to eight EP eight. What
did I say the best was point two four. He
quadrupled the best rate from that point on. And to
do that after you feel like the biggest freaking turd

(22:20):
in all of the state of Washington and all the
stink guy and you got new teammates and like, maybe
this guy really can't freaking do like all this pressure
and for him to have the guts to make some
of those throws, to come back and do that. Man, hey,
I wish it was Pat Mahomes, you know, I wish
it was John Eli Cut whatever it's not. But I

(22:43):
can appreciate when a guy gave you a gutty freaking
performance and he's got thirty nine starts and he's won
seventy seven percent of those. That is not an insignificant
period of time.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Great stuff you you're on with Softy today, right, I
appreciate that. Yeah, three o'clock with Sophty more Melon will
come back wrong, Danny O'Neil.

go the hyper analytic wins.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
What does it mean long term?

Speaker 7 (24:55):
It was a hell of a game and there were
so many different twists and turns. The Seahawks start out
that opening drive touchdown. Yeah, like the first first half
of the first quarter. It looks like Seattle has come
out there loaded for bear.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
They stop them on fourth down.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
Yeah, they punch it into the end zone.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Then it kind of goes quiet.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Then you have this nightmare third quarter, and I as
you have, if you have followed this team with any
kind of diligence over the past twenty years, you're aware
that they've played some truly insane football games.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
I can't remember.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
A game that changed as suddenly as this one did,
where you went from feeling like, Okay, Sam Donald can't
be the quarterback for this team next year.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
What did I just watch? I can't believe that just happened.

Speaker 7 (25:48):
And then two minutes later in real time, you're like, well,
it's like that interception never really even happened.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Then they've got to score tied. It was a crazy,
crazy game.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I've we've all seen a lot over the years that
that was that was the top. I mean, the fail
Mary obviously was crazy, you know, but I think, you know,
I think go back the the NFC Championship game against
the Packers is the closest thing I can think of. Yes,
because when you think so, because that was the I mean,

(26:19):
you had to have the Gary Gilliam touchdown reception from
John Ryan. Yes, I said that correctly, you had to
have the crazy two point conversion right, and and mix Wilson,
the crazy run by Marshawn to get us to that point,
the on side kick, and then you win the toss.

(26:41):
You face a third and eight, third and six I
think it was, and he throws to Doug right Russell
was a Doug and then a guy that had had
like four balls go through his hands for interceptions, and
Jermaine Curse runs a post route and you win it.
That's the only one I can think of. And now
that I think of it, that was insane as well.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yes, And I went and looked at it.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
So in that game, Seattle was down twelve with about
five minutes to go, and Russ had just gotten.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Picked for the fourth time. All four picks came on
throws to Curse.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
Yep, two I would say were on Russ too.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Were the ball coming off a Curse's hands.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
The one difference I would say, because I mean in
terms of stakes, that's for a Super Bowl berth that
the time left on the clock you needed that insane
on side kick that Brandon Bostick tried to catch. God
Brandon Bostick's name is forever emblazoned.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Upon my brain.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Unfortunately, Packers fans as well have his name there too.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
The one difference I would say is even if Seattle
lost that game, there wasn't a feel like Russell was established,
Like you would have felt like, Okay, this team went
on a run. Yeah, almost got back to the super Bowl, right,
There wasn't any sort of underlying uncertainty about the team.
If the Seahawks had lost that game last night, I

(28:06):
think we all know.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
And even with them winning, I'm not.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
Going to tell you that everybody believes everything's fine with
Sam Donald. Although that throw he made a Cooper Cup
in overtime, that is, both the difficulty of the throw
and the fact that he was about to get bludgeoned
when he threw it were remarkable. But there's a lot
on the line and there were two really bad interceptions

(28:29):
that kind of exhibit exhibited a little.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Bit of the flaw that we've seen in Donald.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
But I give him a lot of credit, man, because
he came back after that and he was really good
on that overtime time.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I just it's what makes I mentioned this earlier, is
this is the most simplistic thing in the world. This
is this is the hard hardcore fans get on this show.
That's what makes sports great. Is a game like that,
and that that really you had no business winning a
lot of different times, if for no other reason. The
opposing quarterbacks for four hundred and fifty yards, for God's sakes,
against what's supposed to be the best defense in the NFL,

(29:05):
and you know it, just stuff happens in football. Stuff
happens in the NFL. But none of those things. You
split two games with the team that you have a
seven to one turnover differential against you in like that,
Just all these things happened. I think we saw, frankly
the two best teams in the NFC, and I think
a close number three might be San Francisco. Despite the injuries,

(29:27):
the ending. They're all in the same damn division.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yeah, it is. It's a hell of a It is
an incredible division. It's going to be wild to see
what is going to happen.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
From here, because I don't care what happens to San
Francisco either this weekend Monday when they play Indianapolis. Next
week they've got Chicago. I think Seattle's absolutely going to
have to win that regular season finale against San Francisco
to win the division because they can't finish tied with
the Rams.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
If they finish tied with anybody for the division, they're
going to lose the tiebreaker. I would like to give
a tip.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
Of the cap to the ongoing influence of the end
Zone of Destiny, the place where j Feeley's field golds.

Speaker 9 (30:08):
Fluttered, where Golden Pate grabbed that pass, Where where Tony
Romo bobbled the snap, or cham Chancellor knocked loose mumble
from Calvin.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
Johnson and kJ Wright batted it out of the.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
End zone, should which should have given the ball back
to Detroit but didn't.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Maybe but it didn't. We're just gonna sometimes that's the
way games.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Go, right, Yes, I'm glad you mentioned you know what
your favorite that is the end zone of what do
you call it? The end zone of destiny?

Speaker 7 (30:39):
The end zone of destiny where sometimes a pass that
bounces off somebody's helmet might be retrieved by Vax Charbonay,
who kirk Herbstreet will say showed great hustle.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
But we all know he was just picking it up.

Speaker 7 (30:51):
So some seventy year old official didn't.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Ask it, That's all he did, and he barely picked
it up. He just let Yeah. I mean, the crazy
thing is what if he you know, like if the
balls lying on the like outside the goal line and
he picks it up, it's it doesn't matter. It doesn't
count then, right unless he like holds it, unless he
What would happen if you would have picked it up
outside the goal line. I hate hypotheticals, but hypotheticals, but
I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
It would not have counted. He needed to have it
in the end zone.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Because the play would have been dead.

Speaker 7 (31:19):
Would because the only reason that's right, Yeah, a continuous action.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Right, And I know that people have gotten.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
Upset and said, oh, there was a whistle and it
should have been dead at that moment. That's not that's
actually not how Yeah, those things are are officiated. But
if zax Sharbonay is not in the end zone when
he picks it up, it wouldn't have counted.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Like it only because continuous action. End zone of destiny, baby.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
End zone of destiny, ladies and gentlemen, it's the end
zone of destiny. Ah, Danny, what a what a night?
Huh what a night? That's it's and and now if
nothing else, there's playoff games. You know the thing I
was thinking too, Luminfield, Danny came alive again this year,
which is cool, Like Leuinfield came alive again. And I

(32:06):
was thinking last night when they're down, what a bummer
this will be if it's the last game of the year,
And it sure looked like it was gonna be the
last game of the year in that building for a
good chunk of the game. The fact that they could
get home field advantage now and when the division changes
that because a year ago, Danny, we were talking about
how what happened to Lumenfield, not just the record, but

(32:27):
what happened to the Lumenfield advantage? Why are people selling
their tickets? And that isn't the case this year. Man,
It's back, and it's back in a big way, and
that's fun to see. Tell people about the Dang Apostrophe, sir.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
The Dang of Bostrophe is a newsletter that originates out
of New York City, but he didn't have the Blue
deals with Seattle Sports. On Monday, you will be reading
about the an Zone of Destiny. I put together the
quintessential history of all the weird stuff that's happened there,

Luke Wilson in there. You just put in your email

mean I go to a couple places. Yeah, Total Wine
and more simply Seattle, and I'm done, simple as that.
Thanks for coming.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
I even got some done when you were down at
Chambers Bay the other week. That's the other place I go.
Chambers Beta story. Actually I did get dialed in down
Chambers Bay. I don't even you know what.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I didn't even want to look at the credit card

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Chris Crawford, who was there with you, was telling me

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I was having fun down there at Chambers Beata story.
But yeah, simply shall shout out to that great crew
Jamie and Jake, Gaddy and everybody. They did the pop
up yesterday outside the Seahawk game. Those guys are unbelievable,
really cool stuff. But we were talking and we can
have people comment. Let's get frivolous and just let's get
a little light for a minute, right, four nine four

(37:07):
or five one. That is the still unrestricted free agent
text line today. It's sponsored by Simply Seattle, Simply Seattle
dot com. Did you like the uniforms or not? Four nine,
four or five one? Maybe you like the helmets and
not the uniforms. Maybe you like the uniforms and not
the helmets. Four nine four or five one. We'll get
to those now. I think people like them a lot

(37:28):
more because they won. That's one hundred percent the case,
because we have a history in this town of not
winning games in alternate jerseys. Yeah. I'll give you an example.
Our friends the hockey team one win in one win
in jerseys that were not the normal way homer Away,
normal normal homer Away. That one win was winter class.

(37:52):
And I think the only word once or twice after that, correct,
which I think is the best uniform. It is the
best uniform. It is the best. The new one this
year over the previous like jersey. Yeah, I like the jersey, yeah,
because I haven't won in them. The previous whatever alternate
one they had a couple of years ago, didn't win.
Seahawks Remember the first time they came out in the
fluorescent highlight of greens. I hate didn't win. Yeah. Now

(38:16):
they've won a couple since, but they don't. It seems
like and I think bad things have happened in those uniforms. Yes, right,
injuries and so forth. Yes, the color rush. So last night,
maybe you can live with it because they won. If
they wouldn't have won, I think we might have a
different response before. Look wise, Yeah, I want to know.
I'm curious. Did they look like the Ducks to you?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
So they did to me. Were you there in person?

Speaker 4 (38:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:36):
I was not. I watched on TV. Remember I had
a hockey game, so they looked more gray than I remember.
I don't mind the gray color. It's the shoulders yea,
and the numbers and that. Now I'm not offended by
it because I don't hate the ducks.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
People.

Speaker 6 (38:49):
I thought this is a safe topic with you. I
kind of like the Ducks because other people don't.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I hate the Ducks too, I still like the jerseys. Yeah,
so your thoughts four, nine, four or five one fire away.
We'll get to those coming up at two thirty today,
all right, our Frank Corbyn Smith Emerald City Spectrum, we'll
get his thoughts on the game last night. The latest
on all the injuries as well suspension for Derek Hall.
All coming up next.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Here's Ian just on the front page here of the
World City Spectrum. I think there was a little bit
of consternation yesterday yesterday yesterday over the local newspaper of record,
and they're placing of stories and so forth. There is
an alternative out there. If such a thing does make

(41:16):
you upset, or if you just want great, great local coverage,
our friend Corbyn Smith, Emerald City Spectrum, Seahawks rapid Reaction,
halftime observations, Husky's transfer portal all there on the front
page above the fold on the website if you want
to look at it that way. Gonzaga is out there
as well. Story on Josh Jones, which proved to be
pretty good foreshadowing because he played well yesterday for the

(41:39):
Seahawks as well, Storm expansion draft, Kirby Moore story Cracking
Struggling right now, all there on the front page of
the Emerald City Spectrum. Hi, corbyin how are you? I'm good.
I'm good.

Speaker 8 (41:53):
I'm still trying to. You know, as a reporter, I
don't know that I've ever had the feeling.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
That I have had today.

Speaker 8 (41:59):
That was the crazy game I've covered in the ten
years that I've been doing this. I mean it just
some people have asked me, they like, why isn't there
another story. It's like, because I had to rewrite my
entire postgame thing after the press conferences were done, Like
it was insane. I had the worst game story ever
because of how things played out those last twenty minutes

(42:21):
or so.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
That's I mean, that's that's what happens right when you
I mean, that's a great thing about sports is it
can be a nightmare for a sports writer. I think
of my friend Ryan Divisch always complaining when the Mariners
do things like that. NFL's a little feels like the
NFL a lot of times, a little more predictable. That
wasn't the case last night. It was just out of
control in a lot of different ways. And lo and behold,

(42:43):
the Seahawks get to win improbable in a lot of
different ways. The only game I can think of brought
we brought this up earlier, corbytt was and this was
before your time, but twenty fourteen, the twenty fourteen NFC
Championship game, the twenty fourteen postseason, but it was twenty
fifteen January eighteenth, twenty fifteen. But the Green Bay Packers

(43:04):
Seattle Seahawks NFC Title Game twenty eight twenty two. Seattle
wins that game in overtime, and the improbability of that
was pretty close to what we saw yesterday. Stakes maybe
a little higher with the Super Bowl, but the stakes
yesterday were damn high as well.

Speaker 8 (43:19):
Yeah, and you know, my counter argument for you know,
when you're comparing those two the Seahawks started their comeback
in that game in the third quarter. That was when
John Ryan made that touchdown pass to Gary Gallium. They
had they had one hundred and seventy two games in
their franchise history, they had been down fifteen or more
points in the fourth quarter. They were oh in one

(43:39):
seventy two and that is now one and was seventy two.
Like that's how improbable this was. And and it's not
just the fact they raced the lead. I mean the
the bizarre plays that happened, that two point conversion on
the lateral, which that was the right call. I mean,
it was the right reversal. They had the perfect overhead

(44:01):
angle of it. But I don't know if we'll ever
see that happen in an NFL game again, Like that
might be a once in a lifetime thing that happened
last night to tie that football game up. It just
it was flat out insane that from the fourth quarter
the eight eighteen mark two overtime ending with a two

(44:22):
point conversion. Eric Salbert of all people, being the one
to catch that. I mean it, this game had.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Everything you're looking for.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
And like you canna understand why people are hoping there's
a third one coming in the postseason between these two teams.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Let me get real quick to the news. So Derek
Hall is suspended for the next game for stepping on
Kevin Dotson offense guard for the Rams. I think he's
gonna appeal, So he's suspended for that for the next game.
Some issues on the secondary with Wolan and Kobe Bryant.
Correct So even worry, I guess would have come back
in the game. How banged up are these guys right now?

Speaker 8 (44:56):
Well, my understanding is that Rake Wollan's injury is one
that they're very concerned about, and the fact that they
get a mini buy is going to help that situation.
Kobe Bryant is gonna probably be one that we have
to watch now. I don't know if that's when that
he misses a game or two, or he potentially misses
start of the postseason. That one is more murky, But

(45:19):
basically what I have been told, the Woolen injury is
not one that they are very concerned about. And Nick
even Warrey cleared through concussion protocol last night, So if
they would have had to play another drive he would
have been on the field. So I think they got
they're fairly fortunate there, and I guess the good news
is if Kobe Bryant does have to miss time, kaya
Kata has played out standing football this year. And oh,

(45:42):
by the way, they've got it four of a three
time pro bowler on their practice squad. Quadre Diggs is
waiting in the wings too, so they've got bodies there
if they have to try to weather the storm here
for the last few weeks there.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Cor But I think that also underscores the importance of
trying to get that number one seed and that first round.
By it's great to avoid any playoffs, you know, an
extra playoff game, just from a wins and losses standpoint,
because we're going through this. Charles Cross is still out
of the hamstring. I mean, they have some injuries. Tory
Horton is still out. They got the roster move they
can make with him at some point if need be.

(46:15):
But isn't that why in the end, when it's all
said and done, you kind of need to buy as
if for no other reason, get some guys healthy.

Speaker 8 (46:22):
Yeah, and also, you know, you and I actually had
talked about this earlier. They only have one injured reserve
active activation left for the rest of the regular season.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
They do have two in the.

Speaker 8 (46:33):
Playoffs, so Elijah Royo would be a candidate in the
postseason to be activated because Week eighteen would be the
last week that he has to sit out, so they
could have a Royo back for the playoffs. But I
think that's you know, Mike McDonald basically hinted this last
night that I think the reason that they were thinking

(46:54):
about going for two that entire time is, yeah, we
could tie and we can still win the NFC West.
But if we tie this game and then both teams
win their last two games, we get a wild card.
So it's like we're going to be a playoff team
most likely anyway.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
So let's go.

Speaker 8 (47:13):
Let's go for that number one seed, Let's go for
the division. And I honestly, when they were driving down
the field, we were talking about the press box, and
I told a couple of other reporters, I said, there's
no question online if I'm getting down there, if I score,
I'm going for it.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
And that was my rationale at that point.

Speaker 8 (47:28):
And as soon as Smith and Jigbas scored that touchdown,
you saw Sam Darnold immediately waving two over to Mike
McDonald and he signed off on it like that. That
clearly was something that they had planning for at that point.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Like we are going to go, We're going for it
all right.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Now, we've got an opportunity to send this team into
second place and give ourselves.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
An edge here these last few weeks. Let's go take
advantage of it. Corbyn Smith joining a central C spectrum.
How improbable is it? Five hundred and eighty one yards
allowed to the red and losing the turnover battle three
to nothing? How improbable is that win?

Speaker 8 (48:07):
It was again, if you would have asked me at
like the eight to twenty mark in the fourth quarter
last night, I thought it was going to be like.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
A thirty point loss.

Speaker 8 (48:15):
It just felt like it was one of those where
everything was unraveling and the Rams are going to find
a way to score one more time, and this guy.
It just it didn't feel like there was any chance
the Seahawks are getting back in that game, even though
it was only a two score game technically at that point.
But the yards they'd given up, and this is what's crazy, Ian,
they had given up fifty two explosive pass plays in

(48:38):
the first fourteen games, that was the second fewest in
the NFL. They gave up ten last night in one
game to the Rams and they won. If you would
have told me they gave up ken explosion, like oh man,
they got ran out of their own building, and it
looked like that might be where it's trending by Rashid Shahid,
Josh Snyder doing it again. Just going out and getting

(48:59):
a guy like that happens when you get a dynamic
player and you move him from a bad team to
a good team. You can now see the kind of
talent that that kid brings to the table, and that
that punt return just completely As the players talked about it,
the coaches talked about everything, that was the play that
completely changed everything and got that building awakened again.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
There are a lot of people that were complaining about
that trade, saying the Seahawks paid too much. I think
if for no reason, yesterday was good enough. I mean,
that's the investment is already secured.

Speaker 8 (49:33):
Ian he's Percy Harvin without the baggage.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
That's what he is.

Speaker 8 (49:37):
He is a explosive guy that you can use in
the run game. I mean that thirty one yard run
he had last night was huge too, that play and
actually was looking at a couple of pictures and you
could see Sean McVeigh behind him in the pictures and
McVeigh just had a very concern to look on his face.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
When that run was taking place, like, oh, no, this.

Speaker 8 (49:56):
Is not really happening, and Shaheed was you know, those
are really the only two plays he made all night,
but they were massive. A guy like that that can
just get you an explosive anytime the football is in
his hands. He's the fourth player in franchise history to
have a kickoff and punt return for a.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Touchdown the Saint season. No, by the way, he's done
it in a.

Speaker 8 (50:15):
Three game span, I think it's safe to say those
fourth and fifth rounders that were sent to New Orleans
that was a price well paid. And he's just making
it even more obvious to me that he's got to
be a priority to resign, just as they do with
Leonard Williams and Ernest Jones after deadline trades the last
few years. Make it that that is not just a rental.
And then those fourth and fifth rounders at that point

(50:37):
is like, oh, that.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Was a bargain. Corvin Smith joining us. I want to
I want to just touch it a little bit on
Mike McDonald for a second. And most of the time
when we're throwing bouquet is the way of Mike McDonald's
because his defense is so elite and complex and hard
to break down if you're an opposing offense and just
the defensive mastermind that is Mike McDonald the head coach.

(51:00):
I want to go a different direction today. And because
the defense we just talked about, the defense wasn't good yesterday.
It just flat out was not good yesterday. And it
had a game and they went against an offense it's
mass Stafford who was up and down field. Now, they
were good against them the first game. Stafford threw for
less thanwo hundred yards in the first meeting of the year.
But yesterday they just weren't good. But I heard Richard
Sherman yesterday in the post game and he was talking

(51:21):
about Pete Carroll and this is what bothers me about Pete.
On a side note, Gorman, is what bothers me about
Pete coaching right now with that disaster of an organization
is the legacy of Pete, I think is being tarnished
every time he's on the sideline with the Raiders, because
Pete Carroll in his prime was ahead of his time
and how he got guys motivated, how he got guys

(51:44):
put guys in positions that maybe didn't fit the norm
in the NFL, but it fit what they had and
it worked, and he got him to win. He got
them to believe, you know, And that was the brilliance
of Pete and maybe the brilliance of any really good
head coach. I thought that was Mike McDonald last night.
Like you just said, I thought the same thing. I

(52:04):
thought they were gonna get I mean, I'm doing a
hockey broadcast with one eye on the football game, one
on the hockey game, and I'm like, this thing's over,
Like they're gonna get their doors blown off. I'm trying
to think, how are we gonna talk about this on Friday?
And the team just they never quit. And I think
that's a testament to the coach. Yeah, and all you gotta.

Speaker 8 (52:22):
Do is just see you know, the one thing that
I wasn't he couldn't do it. But I was wondering
just on some of the video footage and stuff in
the press conference, like I was wondering, was Mike McDonald
going to be able to head coach, Was he going
to be able to come in and command the locker room.
Was he going to be the guy that was going
to be able to get everybody to follow him? And

(52:42):
then you watched the postgame talk yesterday and and this
has been evident for quite some time now, but just
seeing how fired up he was, and I was thinking, like,
this is a guy that doesn't have to be like
verbally super fired up because the dudes jacked Like when
he when he walked into the locker room, You're like,
that guy looks like a head coach, Like he looks

(53:04):
like a commander. And so the guys have just really
gravitated to him. And he has just you know, he's
taken Pete Carroll's culture.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
And he's put his own spin on it.

Speaker 8 (53:15):
And I think you can go back to OTA's when
they were having like ninety seven percent participation rate in OTAs,
like that's unheard of in today's NFL, but guys.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Wanted to be there.

Speaker 8 (53:26):
Yeah, that speaks volumes to what Mike McDonald is building
here and now it is translating into the best record
in the NFC, and they got two more games to
get that number one seed, which if they do that,
historically that bodes well for them. They've had three times
they've had the number one seed, all three times they've
gotten to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Listen. Yeah, and I think that's a massively good points
all the way around. I mean this, just what they're
doing right now is amazing on a lot of levels.
And it's a team that you know, I think when
you and I talked in the preseason and we're going
through offseason, I think we both thought they'd be pretty good, right,
we both thought they'd be pretty good football team. And
I had him at twelve and five. Yeah, and I

(54:07):
want to say I think, I think, I think, I know.
I wrote down eleven and six and I thought they'd
be a playoff team. I thought the eleven and six
and I thought, and I did say this, Andrews, you'll
back me up. I thought eleven and six and what
I thought would be the best conference in football, our
best division in football, and it's proven to be that.
I thought Arizona might be a little better. But I
always think they are a kind of a paper tiger
that people Arizona to me, is Cal football after the

(54:29):
one time they beat they beat UC and Pete Carroll
and then like Jeff ted forgot all this love, Like
oh Cal, they never did anything again, but they got
a lot of love for While Arizona went to the
playoffs three years ago, they haven't done it since. They're
never gonna do with Kyler again. But the rest of
the division is damn good. And I think that's why
we're sitting where we are right now. Let's handicap what's
coming ahead, because what's coming ahead Carolina, you should win,

(54:52):
but they're playing for their playoff lives. Is the last
game though of the year against the forty nine ers,
is that it is that for the NFC West.

Speaker 8 (55:00):
I think that you know, you can't overlook Caroline. I mean,
they beat the Rams a couple of weeks ago. They're
so up and down you don't know what you're gonna
get with them, But they're still very much playing for
the NFC South title. So they've got a lot on
the line coming into that game next weekend. But man,
that that game in week eighteen, if the forty nine
ers take care of business these next couple of weeks,

(55:22):
that game is gonna be for the NFC West and
the number one seed in the conference. And that's just
that tells you how dang good this NFC West. Is
the fact that last night we just saw we thought
are the two best teams in the NFC and it's like, oh,
by the way, the forty nine ers, they're they're only
a game out and they could pass.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Both these teams. Still like that's I don't know that
I remember a division.

Speaker 8 (55:46):
There could be three twelve win teams this division and
all of them have Even with the injuries San Francisco's had,
San Francisco could still make a deep run in the postseason.
They're so well coached and they do a great job
developing young players. Robert Salas done a great job back
with that defense. With some of the injuries they've had,

(56:06):
it's just, yeah, that game is looking like it's gonna
be massive. Seahawks fans should be rooting for Philip Rivers
this weekend. And oh, keep the old man, yep, the
old Man can pull off an upset against San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
That's the Monday night game. By the way, you can
actually a hoad round nine point fifty on the AMDL
on Monday Night. Here courtesy of Westwood One corbyin great
stuff as always final thing for you. Did you like
the uniforms or not? And I say this to a
guy that shows up in the press box in lime
green suits and others all the time. So I'm asking
you yes or no on the thumbs up thumbs down

(56:41):
on the uniforms.

Speaker 8 (56:43):
You know, I know this is going to sound like
a disappointing answer. I'm gonna do thumb sideways because I
liked the helmets a lot. As the game went on,
they grew on me. And seeing that the radiating green
popping off of it, the jersey and the pants left
something to be desired for me, I would have rather
have just been like, oh, let's just bring back the

(57:05):
regular wolf gray uniforms to go with this helmet.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
And I guess you could keep the.

Speaker 8 (57:09):
That you know, that radiating green number, but esthetically it
was to me it was meth.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Yeah, I will. I'm gonna throw this out there, Hey,
Chuck Arnold, because I know he's Chuck listens all the time,
big listener of the show, Seahawk President, Just do what
the fans want. Andrews is wearing the hat right now.
Go to Royal blue, be done with it. Everyone loves away.
Everyone loves my suggestion.

Speaker 8 (57:35):
This is my suggestion, bring back, bring back the original
uniforms and colors, but with the modern logo that all
that makes everybody happy. And then and have an alternate
that is an apple green jersey that is not going
to be as some people think the action green is obnoxious.
I am not in that category. I love it, but

(57:56):
the apple green is not going to be quite as Yeah,
what is you know, obnoxious for some fans. So I
think you can make everybody happy doing that.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Again, this is my buddy that wears the most flamboyant
suits in all of the press box in all of
the NFL. So I do appreciate your eyes, your response,
and your on that tell people about Emerald City Spectrum.

Speaker 8 (58:20):
Yeah, I go to Emeralcityspectrum dot com. We've we've currently
got our twelve Days of Christmas going on and today
we've got a fifty percent off on annual subscriptions that
is available with xmous seven sail as the code. So
that is fifty percent off and I'll have a few
more Seahawks pieces coming up. I know.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
I few people were like, why hasn't there been anything
up today.

Speaker 8 (58:42):
It's like, dude, I felt like I got ran over
my train after trying to cover that game and rewriting
rewriting that article at the end of the game, and
it was like midnight.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
So I promised there will be more coming. Great stuff,
my friend. Happy holidays too, and we'll talk to you soon.
Thank you. Yeah, Happy holidays. Man, There you go. That
is our good Frank Corbin Smith. We'll get your thoughts
on the uniforms and check the text line with all
of your thoughts on today coming up next.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Now back to Football Friday Age sponsored by Tito's handmade Vodkat,
your home for the UNFL Sports Radio ninety.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
Three five three KGRL.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
A lot of texts four nine four or five one.
And I'm surprised by these answers unrestricted free agent text
I can't even get them all in. What surprises you
before we start reading something.

Speaker 6 (59:36):
I honestly thought everyone hated the jerseys and I was
kind of alone on the island of you know, I
I don't love them, but I I kind of like it.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
I like the new look, Kathleen, hate the new uniforms,
but they're not as bad as the Steelers. Okay, Well, yeah,
that's like Danie O'Neil telling us that he was the
smartest guy technology technically on his old show Across the Street.
It's a very very low bar. I love my guy
whining and go to but yeah, Danny great one than
those two. One of them went to Stanford. But I

(01:00:05):
don't know how to do anything. Last night's uniform sucked.
Dump them. The helmets were amazing, went from green to
blue as it got darker, looks silver from a distance.
Somehow they all hit the team colors one helmet. Did
that happen? I didn't notice that.

Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
No, it's it's just a certain angle that it had
based on the lighting. And I have the helmets are awesome, Yeah,
really really cool helmets. And I'm a huge fan of
Wolf grayze As were actually my favorite jerseys back in
the day. Yeah, and I had that's the one. I
have one Seahawks jersey. I do have so and I
hate the Ducks. So I kind of a little bit

(01:00:38):
pulled on both sides of this. But I don't know,
it just seems like I like the new look again.
I'm with you. I think with the throwback hat, you
could easily just go blue throwback and then white throwback.
Go back to those colors and everyone would be happy.
But you know, I don't mind the new look for sure.
I do like the helmets a lot. I bring this

(01:00:59):
up just tell something a little lighted.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
I mean, we've talked about the game enough today and
Softy has got a huan for his whole show today,
so they'll know softiing Dick both hate the uniforms. Oh
did they? Yes? Just because well here's this one thumbs
down on the uniforms. Raised as a Husky, I can't
ignore the Oregon look. I like the helmet. The only
problem with the helmet is it reminds me of those
terrible uniforms. But after yesterday, they wore them during one
of the best wins in team history, so I can't
fully hate on them. I guess do you aware of

(01:01:21):
them in the Super Bowl? Is my question? And they're
not going to do now. It's actually I don't know
who the home team is issues, so I'll have to
check that out. Love anytime the Hawks rock Low Rock Green,
including last night. They win when they do too.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
Yeah, two six. The uniforms grew on me. I bought
a jas and rivalry jersey in the stadium before the game.
I think they look better in person, which is interesting
because I actually almost liked them more on TV because
it's more gray on TV than kind of looks more
white in person. But yeah, yeah, yeah, love last night's unis.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
I bought one. Still prefer the action green, which the
Hawks are five and one in. So haters need to
pipe down. Let's see. Do I like these new uniforms personally,
I'm not a fan. Wanted our logo to be more
prominent for one thing, and the new color beetle green,
is interesting. Yeah. It looks like a mashup of the
Organ Ducks in the Philadelphia Eagles connection. We're all birds. Yeah,

(01:02:13):
that is a good connection there to Eagle and duck
are real birds. Yeah, two five to three.

Speaker 6 (01:02:18):
So I hated the new uniforms from day one because
they look just like the Ducks. Once I stopped thinking
about the Ducks aspect, I loved them and I worked
on the sideline as a camera reporter.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
They are clean in person. In person, I think sometimes
jerseys and uniforms look way different in person. Yeah. Yeah,
I like the jersey and know why their jerseys get
a lot of hate. Says the four two five. Then
someone else Jerseys had a puke sign sex look like
the Zeros. Yeah, well see, I understand the Ducks say.
It's a very mixed reaction. Yeah, it was very mixed.

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
I honestly thought everyone hated them, like because from from
the response that I've seen everyone that I've talked to,
including our Lovely Afternoon Show. In a minute, yeah, well
we'll catch up with them in a minute. By the way,
I saw a text earlier. I can't read it for
baiting because there's a lot of response from the Jersey thing,
but I have to reminisce it Farrow fire Away. They said,

(01:03:09):
for every factor fiction picked, anger Andrews gets wrong next year,
you have to force him to work on Softy in
Dick's show. Wow, and I would be like, that's like
the worst punishment you could get.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
That's like a lot, that's like, that's a lot of pressure.
That's like Sam Darnold, I'm going for two point version
series every pick. I know, I know the go back
to Chris said Corbyn, just do what the people want.

Speaker 6 (01:03:30):
You know what, I've never seen a negative thought on
the Royal Blue, absolutely not. People love that and just
how cool would a white version of that?

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Somebody pointed out here on this a couple of people
pointed out that they like the Rams uniforms, and the
Rams kind of have gone back to the old Rams. Yes,
and those are kind of clean. They are kind nice. Yeah. Yeah,
I use kids trying to you know, it's that clean.
I use the term clean clean. Yeah, they're clean. No,
I think.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
I might do on the Rams though. I think the
more they lean in kind of their older colors, I
think it looks better.

Speaker 5 (01:04:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
See they went to because he used to have that
kind of royal darker ballue the dark baby. Yeah. But
you know, the worst thing is when they played in
Saint Louis in those uniforms in the darkest building in sports,
I know. O lord, it was where they told you
when to cheer. Remember the Rams rules? Do you remember that?
I do not? Oh so good. I never traveled there

(01:04:23):
last year or two. Well, we made fun of on
the air even here. The last couple of years there
they had things called Rams rules where they told the
fans when to cheer, when to get up when. It's
just it was because it was such an apathetic family
and in a lot of ways.

Speaker 6 (01:04:40):
Do you see mcvay's press conference after the game, Well,
I saw the stuff with Puka. Yeah, is that you're
talking about? Yeah, got a little testy with the reporters.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Well, I guess in in in mcveigh's defense, he's probably
clueless for people to know. I guess app who can
needs to really just put the phone down. Yeah, and
stop with anything that doesn't involve catching a football. I mean,
because he's really good at that. He's really good at that.

(01:05:11):
The rest of things that he's done lately, he's not
very good. Not very good social media, not good at all,
live streaming, live streaming with whoever those guys are? Who
are those guys? I don't even I didn't see it,
to be honest, But whether you offended people or not,
just why Yeah. Actually, the one question the reporter asked
I thought was pretty good. It's like, you know, they

(01:05:33):
were on your property in a short week? Is that okay?
And McVeigh bristled, but they said, well, look at the
numbers he put up, which.

Speaker 6 (01:05:39):
Is true, Which is true he put up, Pug Well,
and then he looks at the PR guy was like,
is that true?

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
They were they on our property? The guy's like, well,
they're in the parking lot, and he's like like, alsoid
you could hit the nervousness for the PR guy. Yeah, yeah,
you know. That's the thing is that, like our guy here,
mister Pearson, I don't think there's ever been a coach
has gone to the podium and been unprepared. They those

(01:06:04):
whether it's Pete, Mike maybe more because he didn't listen
to anybody, but let's just say Pete and Mike. Harry
Wright was mostly Mike's guy though, but Pete and then
certainly Uh, and there's Pete at the end our home
room at the end with with Dave, uh, and now
with with Mike McDonald. They they they wouldn't have been

(01:06:27):
caught off guard. No, like like if if what's going on?
If JSN had tweeted out referee sock blah blah blah
something like that, Like I can guarantee you that whether
it be Jeff or rich or Chris, they would have
or Dave, that four man PR staff, which is as
good as it gets, those dudes would have told Mike
McDonald and he would have been ready for the questions
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
McVeigh was so caught off guard, and then that's what
made him mad, Like he's loses emotional game and then
he gets hey, you're you're you're wide receiver who you've
talked way too much about doing stuff other than football.
This week, just tweeted out how bad the officiating is
in the NFL. My god, what do you think? And
theyn're like, there's like four follow ups? Is that a distraction?

(01:07:11):
This week? I give those guys a crond of credit. Man,
they went right out and did go right out it man,
highly entertained.

Speaker 6 (01:07:17):
It seems like mcvay's a type of coach that kind
of like, hey, ask me whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
I don't care, I'll answer. I think there's a little
give and take with him, which is good. Yes, which
is fine. It was pretty funny, all of us funny.
All right, thanks for all the texts. Can't get to
all of them, all right them today. I appreciate you
guys all listening. You got Softie and Hugh coming up,
but we'll check in with one or both of those
guys next. All right, Maria is Dave Softy mall or

(01:07:52):
oh look at this, this is sad news. What happened
t s mcq's is closing.

Speaker 10 (01:07:57):
You're kidding me, I kid you not. I jump talked
to Mick McHugh a month ago. I put the thirty two. Yeah,
and I asked him about that and me mentioned nothing,
not that he needs to tell me his business.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
But holy sign in front says, we have weather through
many changes over the years, become increasingly harder for a
small businesses to survive, let alone thrive.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Wow. Wow, that's too bad, man.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
They survived through everything. Yeah, like I mean everything that
is Yeah, man.

Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
Well, Seattle gets Seattle claims another one.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
That's that's one hundred percent what it is, man.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
A rightl city government claims another one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Just when lower Queen n starting to kind of come
alive a little bit. That happened, all right, So where
were you yesterday?

Speaker 10 (01:08:44):
Well I walked out when Sam threw that pick to Turner,
and I said, let's change the vibe up and go
over to Jimmy's and see what's going on there. So
we watched the rest of the game of Jimmy's. It
was a lot like the Packer games. I was gonna say,
there's a precedent for this. Yeah, Well, the Packer game
was different. It was down nineteen to seven with two
and a half minutes to go, and we walked out

(01:09:05):
of our seats and we are literally walking towards the
door to leave to go home, and everything started happening.
And so Gina and I watched the entire game on
a little monitor in the hallway at Loomenfield, which was
back then it was a quest central. The clink, the clink,
and our and our seats are keep in mind during
the entire Packer comeback. Our seats are like thirty feet

(01:09:27):
away and we don't sit in them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
You're just like, I'm not.

Speaker 10 (01:09:29):
We can't move, can't move now we have to stay here.
You go in for overtime, No, no, Watch the entire
thing on a small little monitor and the club facing
Puget Sound Wow games behind us, and we stood there.
Took one for the team. There were like three other
couples that did the exact same thing. Watch the entire PA,
what's that You're the reason they won totally? And last

(01:09:50):
night if I would have stayed, if you would have.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
Lost the game, if you wouldn't have gone to Jimmy's,
they would titos and soda.

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
That's right, R two, Yeah, it was it was me.
The Nicholson Brothers and your buddy Barry sitting there at
the bar. I got video of us going nuts at
the bar and Jimmy, So, how many people left the game?
How many people left the game last night down thirty
to fourteen when Darnold threw that second pick the turner
and just said, that's a good question for a half

(01:10:17):
if I've one, Because there was I will tell you this.
There was looking at the crowd walking down Occidental. There
was a mass exodus of people leaving the stadium. I
wonder if full was a mass exodus.

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Wow, Well everything about that game, right, how it was
going statistically, the score told you there's no chance.

Speaker 5 (01:10:35):
I gotta tell you I am. I am exhausted right now.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
Man.

Speaker 10 (01:10:38):
I am mentally, emotionally wiped after that game last night.
I kind of feel like there should be a law
that if there is a sixteen point comeback in the
fourth quarter of a football game, then everyone gets a
vacation day the next day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I'm done.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
I mean, this is just.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Unless you're sports radio, everbody wants to talk about this is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
Beyond I mean, guys, you think about it like me.
From the nine to thirty nine mark of the.

Speaker 10 (01:10:59):
Fourth core and yes, I lost my voice last night,
nine thirty nine mark in the fourth quarter when Darnold
threw that pick to Turner.

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
Okay, there's booze. People are leaving.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (01:11:09):
Three minutes and sixteen seconds later, the game was died.
And that's in clock time. And you said it was
what twelve minutes of real time?

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
I went I mentioned this to Andrews off the air.
We went in, I did, we're doing the cracking. I
want to welcome all twelve people that were watching the cracking.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
Gas You sure it's twelve, by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Yeah, magic number twelve. Okay, well right, the uh We
go in and I'm watching both. I'm like, okay, I
go in to do the secondary mission show and that's
about a twelve or thirteen minutes of real time. It's
a sixteen point deficit. I walk out, walk into the
control room, and our staff's going bananas. I look up
and it's like, it says thirty to twenty eight. I go,

(01:11:50):
what the hell? Just how could that happen in twelve
minutes of real time? And they'll racheie chihied, rashie chihia,
blah blah blah. And then so I sat down and
I watched, in real time without sound, this weirdest two
point conversion I've ever seen in my life. And I'm like, well,
well they didn't get it or whatever. And then all
of a sudden, I look down, I see what's Brad
Wat's his face, the referee going yeah, it's good.

Speaker 6 (01:12:12):
It's crazy on TV because Terry McCauley came in instantly.
It was like, guys, yeah, nobody was talking about anyone
was doing it.

Speaker 10 (01:12:19):
I went so, I couldn't hear anything at Jimmy's obviously.
I went on, watched the game last night, watching them
it this morning, and I heard somebody say, and maybe
but on social media, hey give sharbon Ay credit for
having the presence. What are you talk star curves streak. Yeah,
the ball to give the old guy. He picked up
the ball, give it to the referee guy. He wasn't
thinking at all about scoring. He had no clue that

(01:12:41):
that was a backwards that. After the game, I went on,
I'm sure somebody had to, but guys, and I was.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
Where if you're him, when you why new exactly what.

Speaker 8 (01:12:49):
It's like?

Speaker 10 (01:12:50):
You know what we've been preparing for that moment. We're
prepared for every scenario imaginable. We work on that in
practice all the time. Imagine if Zach Charbone walked up
to that ball and like kicked it like at a frustration, and.

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
Nobody would have better than I.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Nobody would have blinked or then Terry McCauley comes in
and says, well he should have picked up that ball.

Speaker 10 (01:13:10):
That oh my god, And that might be the reason
why they go to a super Bowl. Seriously, because Zach
Sharbonnay just randomly decided to pick up a football and
hand it to a referee.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:13:24):
And I think Danny pointed out today if he had
picked it up outside the end zone, itouldn't have counted.

Speaker 10 (01:13:29):
Right if he was standing out zone, like if it's
two feet right, exactly. Unbelievable, I mean, honestly, Like I
don't know how much you guys believe in like destiny
and things like that, But after winning a game last
week without scoring a touchdown, and then winning last night
the way they won, it just feels like you better
get ready for in the first weekend in February and

(01:13:51):
something's going down.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
In some ways. In some ways, it feels like they've
won two games in a row. Yes, that they had
no business win. Now you think, no, do you just
go boat race Carolina?

Speaker 10 (01:14:04):
Well, you know I was worried about that, and then
you got the extra days off to kind of reset
a little bit. Uh, there's guys, there's still a chance
the Niners could win the West.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
That's what I mean. This is not over. I don't
know about you, by the way, that's in the That
has always been the back of my mind. Yes, And
as much as I don't like the Rams, right that
makes me want to puke.

Speaker 10 (01:14:22):
When that schedule came out and you saw Niners in
week eighteen at Levi Stadium, you're telling yourself that game
is going to mean something, and it's gonna mean something.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
I'll be honest with you. I thought I'm in a
wildcard berth right right, unfortunately, mean that.

Speaker 10 (01:14:35):
It might be the number one seed in the end
of freaking Sea. Dude, it could be number one or five.
What do you got today? Well, Humillin's on with us
obviously today Lindsay Theory is going to hop back on
from ESPN and give us her thoughts on the Rams
perspective on that game.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:14:49):
Lee Sterling would join us as well.

Speaker 10 (01:14:51):
At three forty five, just a lot of seahawk chatter man,
just kind of basking in the glow of what was
the most improbable ending to a football game. I'm still
in that line from my buddy in Eugene. You hear
that line. That doesn't mean what you think it means anymore.
Now it means something else. That's right, that's done as
thirty years ago, that cames over. Forget it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Your voice is not going to last through chance. There's
no chance, no zero.

Speaker 10 (01:15:18):
All right, but the mild mannered and marginally objectionably Inverness
this is paddle day, saying so long everyone,
