Speaker 1 (00:00):
First of all, shout out to Jackson, you and everybody.
So far, so good. Our coverage is sensational on the
iHeart Network app our station and across the country. All
I've heard is great things and being dead serious to
by the way, like people sometimes think I'm being sarcastic
when I'm giving compliments regarding iHeart or the state, I'm
hearing you guys are killing it and well done. Great

(00:21):
job by everybody involved. Jackson's forty eight pages of prep
work paid off yesterday out here, So it's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I know the World Cup is not for everyone. I
get that, we all get that. I think I heard
you with Greg on earlier, and I tend to agree.
Maybe it was Greg saying this as this thing goes,
and especially once the I think you said it us
playing tonight, and for me locally, just locally here, I

(00:51):
kind of hope the manners get rained out or something, yeah,
because I just want people to, hey, let's take a
peek at that tonight. What you said is bang on, right.
If if they can get out and score like like
have a win, that's not one nil, that's there's some
action we need. This is the way we are I
mean a soccer guy can criticize this country all we

(01:13):
want in terms of their fans, there is a reality
to it. We are who we are. They want scoring,
they want stuff to happen, right, And so I think
if if this team does go out and gets a
couple of goals and kind of get some momentum, they'll
be really big for the sport.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
And I look at what happened and maybe you're not
on the social media stuff with what's the reaction after
the Mexico game yesterday, but my god, that entire country
is on fire after that.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well, but it's their sport exactly so for us, So
for us, we need something to latch onto. And I
mean it's a good question for the text line at
four nine four or five to one. You know what
what what would get you fired up? But would get you,
you know, engaged? And you know, you may be one
that says I'm not not even to give it a shot,
or you may be someone that's kind of open mind

(02:00):
to say, let's take a peek. I mean, it's our
country playing on the world stage. I think that's compelling enough.
I don't think you anything else. Yeah, And I think
I know hockey, Like hockey, hockey's not for everyone. But
then the Olympics come around and everyone's in. Everyone's all
of a sudden talking about, you know, the power play.
They have no idea what the power play is two
weeks ago and they're talking about it, right, and you

(02:20):
know it helps. Like our women's team in soccer is
really good, but I don't know if that helps the
In fact, I know it doesn't help this at all.
They're so unrelated. It's like when you compare Angel Reese's
stats to Shacks, which some people ESPN I'm talking you
like to do. Sometimes they're two different sports, two different people,
two different everything. But yeah, like our women's team has
always dominated in soccer and women's hockey. Our men's team

(02:43):
and hockey has caught up, for sure, no doubt that's
proven this year. But soccer still got a long ways
to go. And I'm hoping it's fun. I oh, by
the way, late at one o'clock today to the show.
Oh my buddy Gary from the Halls, Queen Anne mos Bee.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
And Auk I have seen watch parties go absolutely nuts.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
He's gonna join us because I drove by the as
I drive I drive in off of ninety nine and
jump off right down by the stadiums right, and I
was looking like outside their place the Occidental Beer Haul,
Like there's all kinds of stuff set up and he's
gonna come on. kJ Roff did this, who's a GM
at Silver Cloud with Softy a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
We're gonna have Gary on.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Hey, Like, if you're going down or you want to
go to the viewing party, you're going to the game
in the matches?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
How?

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, How it's a great question. How do you navigate
your way around? Yes, because there's we have potentially some
shows scheduled for Jimmy's on first if we're being honest,
logistically we're still working on it, yeah, because we're not
sure how like getting equipment, parking, getting there, it's it's
a challenge. So we'll talk to Gary because like that

(03:50):
Occidental Beer Hall is next to the entrance to lumen Field.
It should be just crazy busy, but can people get there?
And can you get there if you don't have a ticket,
So we'll talk to him about that. Coming up at
one o'clock for a few minutes. Danie O'Neil at one
twenty today, we're gonna get to Brendan Sooresby a lot
with him at one twenty today, so I'm looking forward
to that with Danny Danny O'Neill. Also, we're gonna check

(04:11):
in with Corbyn Smith at two will put a bow
on Mini Camp. He was out there yesterday. Just the
way the schedule work, we can get him on his
normal Thursday. So we're gonna have Corbanon at two o'clock
today from Emerald City Spectrum, and I think he's gonna
blast jail in Milroe.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Sounds good.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I walked out yesterday in a break and I'm kind
of in and out of the vMac of the Virgin
Ais Athletic Center doing the studio there, and in and
out I walked at one point and Corbin's like shaking
his head, goes, I don't know, six is really struggling,
And I'm like, oh, it's a thirst string quarter I
was gonna say it's a third string quarterback. It isn't it.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
He is.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
He's also a guy that they drafted with the hope
that they could develop and also he could be a
weapon before they need to have him as a starter.
So I don't know. Maybe he hasn't got to that, like,
of course, let me just say this. If that is
your biggest issue, then that's a good thing. If you're
the clc X right now, that's that's a good thing.
Yellow got a yellow card in Canada early? Who are

(05:06):
they playing?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Bosnia and hurt Segovina? Who Bosnia?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Who's Who's What's what's Bosnia's last name?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
They have two names, Bosnia and hurt Segovina. Did you
actually see there was like a BA football team from
back in the day. Is it's like, look lacrosse washed Tucto.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's a tough challenge. Uh yeah, I think so. That's
that's only a yellow, right, Yeah, it should be.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
There was a really cool video though that I saw
a giant like crowd of Bosnia fans.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Mark to Toronto.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
I saw that.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, because they're in Toronto right now, right, Yes, in Toronto?

Speaker 4 (05:38):
All right?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
US starts later tonight. We'll get into that a little
bit too as well. Today Mariners get the the loss
yesterday and Brian who is not happy with himself at all.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Uh water's wet.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Uh well, Greg went through it earlier. I mean, we
don't have to keep going through it over and over again.
But his road home splits are pretty massive, right, like
they're they're not good. He's really good at home, he's
really bad on the road. And yesterday he kind of
got lit up. He gave up the six and I
mean give him a team credit. They're down six to one. Yeah, Rain,

(06:10):
Rain's falling like it feels like we're just going and
tap out and move on to to DC.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's almost not much more frustrating, though, because if you
get an average start from a lot of people to
believe your best pitcher, you win the game.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Someone asked me earlier, who the who's going to the
All Star Game for the Mariners, And you would always
think just an automatic would be a pitcher, and it's
not this year. I don't think they have a picture
going to the also.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
They Hancock should. I don't know if he will.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Name recognition the way baseball works, he will, Well, they
have a lot, there's a lot of really good pictures
and the American League and it's I mean, Julio and
Randy right should be and that's it. Yeah, it's crazy
you think the runner up for the MVP won't be there,
but I mean, obviously not just being hurt, he wouldn't
have been there anywhere, No, he would. They're not taking
a guy hitting one twenty. Although he's lightened up, Softy

(06:56):
and fader down at the ballpark today, down rains, they
are stadium and he's still there. Last I checked, I'm
seeing and he notices that he's been called up, so
he'll be there tonight, which would be fun for those
guys to be down there doing the show that.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Soft you been called up.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Stop it Wo actually gave up the seven earned runs
over that. He is on the road right now, one
in five, a five point nine to three ERA, twenty
nine earned runs and forty four innings is what Brian
Wu has done on the road and home starts this season.
He's four to zero with a two point three seven ERA.
Now you'll see home road splits four hitters sometimes and

(07:34):
for some pitchers that like if you're going well, you're
in a hitter's ballpark, non hitters ball play, those are extreme,
like that's yeah, those are extreme. And he talked about
a post game I you know, I prepare the same
way I do all those there's something mentally there, like
there's something not right there. And what started out is
like wow, they win your first two games in four

(07:55):
game series against Baltimore. Like the worst case scenario gonna
win the series and take three or four end of splitting.
So it's not quite as uh not quite as conducive
as it was before to that. But nevertheless, they get
out it tonight and uh and away we go. So
that's the Mariner topic of the day. We're gonna talk
to you. I had Drake Thomas on yesterday. Oh did
you see the rings?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh my god, yeah, yes.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I said, just on a flippant, just off the cuff
nature a couple of times this week before the ceremony,
I said, you know, these things are going to be crazy, extravagant.
I don't know what I was expecting to see, but
that's like more than I ever could have envisioned or anybody, right, right,

(08:38):
they did it, right though. Softy had a great tweet
last night because I mean they just this is one
of the things like how they did it. They lowered
for people to know, they lowered the rings from the
roof of this wherever they were at last night, yep,
and they dropped it, you know, they in.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Front of each player.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, like so so cool, Like just the production value
alone everything about it was first class. And you know,
Softie said, you know, they better not let Joey, don't
make Jody sell the team. Unfortunately, there's no choice, it's
in the trust. But it just shows, you know how,
Let's just say the Allen family has run things. It's

(09:13):
just everything about it is first class. Like a ring ceremony,
Like last time they had usher at the MoPOP. That's
what happened last time. And the rings were for that time,
you know, extravagant.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
They had metro boomin it was a famous DJ. Yeah,
was there kind of DJing the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
They they just do things right. It's crazy, and like
you just you want that for your team because it
I think there is a big part of how you
operate as a business that can translate to how things
go on the field. Uh, those guys know that everything
they're doing is for a first class organization, and like,

(09:52):
like you just think about whoever you work for, how
much more incentivized are you and you know that the
people up top really care and want value you and
want everything done first class. I mean I say this often.
I've only been with him for two years. Everything the

(10:14):
Crack can do off the ice is unbelievable, like that
kind of stuff you're describing.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yes, it's I mean, that's how it is, and to
have a ring ceremony like that. But you know, yeah,
well we'll get there.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm not sure hopefully in our lifetime we'll get there,
all right, But yeah, I just I thought last night school,
I mean, I don't the rings themselves and and people
checking them out are awesome. All Canada opportunity squandered?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
How do you not score that? Sorry for those of
you who have recorded the game, I'm not sorry.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah you're gonna hear us. I'm rooting hard for Canada.
And who was that? That wasn't Davies?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Is he playing?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
He's playing? Is he playing?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Okay? You know what's amazing to me kind of just
just a quick soccer thought. Yeah, how the inability of
so many soccer players to finish either the ball goes
a zillion miles over the crossbar or in that case,
you chunk one like I hit a four iron, yeah,
and like you get nothing on, Like what is wrong

(11:14):
with you? Because if you watch him make a pass,
it's so like guys will do tape to tape, as
you'd say in hockey from fifty yards out?

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, well, first, can't you bury a goal like that?

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, first of all, the shooting percentage of the soccer
is very much higher than it is in hockey. They
just don't have as many of them, right right, So that.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Guy just that's like my, my, you fifteen girls when
I was last coaching, would have buried that shot. The
guy hit it off the inside of his ankle. God,
that's awful, dude, like off his ankle. He's a world
class player, goes off his ankle.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
World class. It's Canada. Let's be completely honest. Come on, now, you.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Know the best thing about Canada playing their first game
in Toronto, Yeah, is that they will turn on these
guys so quick because it's Toronto. It's Toronto, Like it's
the second things are going south, so good, and they're
gonna it's it's gonna be like Mitch Marner's out there
for the Maple Leafs. They're gonna turn on these guys
so quick and so hard.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
And then when it's in Vancouver, it's gonna be like
e p Porty out there.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's just it's the most miserable fan base in all
of North America is based in Toronto, Canada.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
And now they had a golden opportunity to take a
lead and the guy chunks it off his ankle. Ah,
they're just gonna lose their mind. That'll be entertaining as hell. Yeah,
all right, we'll take a break. Come back Drake Thomas.
Great story. We'll hear a little bit from him coming
up next.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the
Huskies Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by
Seattle's closest snow call me Casino went Hotel on Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
All right, wrapping up Mini caamp yesterday, hanging out with
the Virginia Mason Athletic Center all week, and thanks to
the Seahawks for all their hospitality and helping us out.
On Tuesday, we tried to talk to Drake Thomas, but
we had a little technical glitch with a power surge
outage of the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. Our equipment got fried,
literally fried. Yeah, So Drake Thomas was standing there, he goes, yeah, man,

(13:10):
there was a power surge or something and we just
saw it and I'm like, okay, Well, that makes sense,
and this is what a radio guy looks like when
he's in panic mode. Anyway, he came back yesterday Seahawks
starting linebacker who made one of the biggest plays of
the season as well one of the better stories on
the team. He, like everybody else, got a ring last night,
and then we started out with Drake asking how he's.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Doing, doing well, doing well?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
So it's over until July twenty fifth.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Yeah, Yeah, I had a good, good offseason, great mini camp.
It was great being around the guys, working together, getting
out on the field again, refreshing everything, and honestly, just
more than anything being back out there with the guys.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
So, Andrews, do you have the piece of audio for me?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Second goal down by ten?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
That ball was tipped by think tall.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Hands of McCaffrey and into the arms of Drake Thomas.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
You had a smile on your face when you heard
like the first words out of Joe Buck's mouth.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
What was that like? Surreal? Honestly?

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah, I mean I as soon as I think you
said what second and ten or something? Yeah, I knew
the audio that was playing that moment was surreal. In
the moment, I don't even think it registered ball just
popped up right in my hands. It's just a blessing
right there.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Can that play itself just walk us through what it
was because you made everyone makes talks about the fact
that you made the play on the ball, like and
it was a ball skill play. After McCaffrey, you know,
had it kind of there for a second, but you
had to make a terrific ball skill play. But you
also were right there like like, I don't know if
you read the play something you guys have seen on tape,

(14:48):
but but that's in football play, especially a huge play,
it's usually more than just making the play.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
There's a lot leads up to that. How well prepared
were you for that play?

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (14:58):
I mean that plays honestly, no matter how prepared I
was for that play, That's a difficult play to make
for a linebacker. In any situation, you're pretty much one
on one with the back and he has a two
way go on. You can go inside or you can
go outside, and he can work it however he wants
to that set. I knew that's what I was gonna
get that option round out of the backfield, and we're

(15:19):
taught to take inside leverage and have the running back
break outside.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Uh so. But you know, when you're.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
On the ten yard line whatever, inside the red zone,
when you're that tight, there's not a lot of room
for error. So you know, as soon as you force
him to break out, you just gotta be in chase mode.
So I mean, that's that's really the approach I took.
And you know that's what happened, right, Like, I had
him break out and I'm chasing him down, just trying
to in my mind he bang bang play, he catches it,

(15:46):
I tackle and we live on seat third down and
then yeah, I mean I'm chasing the ball, pups.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Up and it's like gotta get it, and it's that dude. Yeah,
how hard is that dude to defense?

Speaker 7 (15:56):
I mean, he's a great player, he's a great player.
Was a little bit I think got tipped or something
like that, Mafe tipped it. But yeah, he brings up.
He brings so many matchup issues and problems that you
got to be ready for. And he's a hard guy
to cover. He runs the ball hard. He's a really
good running back.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Drake Thomas with me Ian Ferness here at the Virginia
Mason Athletics and we had a chance to talk to
Drake a couple times last season on the phone, but
great to see in person. I appreciate coming back and
all joking aside doing this again today, You're one of
the best. I love good stories. I think we all
love great stories. And we talked about this a few
times last season. You mentioned it. You're five eleven, two
twenty eight. You weren't drafted. You had a hell of

(16:35):
a career, like a hell of a college career, but
you weren't drafted, and you've had to fight your way
up to get to that moment, and then the next
moment was three weeks later in the super Bowl in
that same stadium. Have you had a chance to kind
of take it all in and just think about where
you are now and where you were three or four
years ago.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
I'm definitely grateful for where I am versus where I was,
But I'm also grateful for the entire journey.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
I've learned so much along the way.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
I've taken so much from those experiences that I've been
through and carry with them with me now that will
help me only it only helped me grow going forward,
get better as a player, as a person. In so
many different ways. So yeah, I mean I've reflected a
lot on my journey and what I've been through, and yeah,

(17:23):
so I'm definitely grateful.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Drake. What is it?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I mean, you're in a great situation, but you're also
playing for a coach. It just you hear this a
lot from guys. You know, everyone's a good chance to compete,
Like all ninety guys out there today have the same
equal chance and all those things. But it feels like
this is a coach that truly does get. I mean,
I think you're one of those great examples. Tyle Cott
is a great example of that. There's a lot of
dudes out there that have been given like, hey, just

(17:47):
you show what we can do and you're gonna be rewarded.
How much of your journey do you also give credit
to Mike just to give you that opportunity.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
I mean, Mike along with the whole staff, with the
whole organize, really they they there is a lot of
opportunity out there for young guys to make a name,
to to work a role out for themselves. You just
got to show up every single day and be the
same guy, and you got to fit into what they're
trying to build. You got to buy into who we're
trying to be as a team, as an organization, and

(18:18):
it's been made clear that if you do that, then
you're gonna be one of one of our guys. So,
you know, I give a lot of people credit, a
lot of people credit.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Mike.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
You know, Ko has been my linebacker coach for the
past two years. Here a d the whole defensive staff,
the special teams, Jay, I mean, he believed in me
to to start out on special teams and make an impact.
The front office for claiming me when I was in
Vegas and I was cut. I mean, there's a number
of people that that I'm grateful for and I give

(18:50):
credit to for for believing in me and giving me
opportunity to go be me.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
If I was in Vegas doing a radio show, I'd
be like and watching that game that play like this,
dude started a fourteen games for the Super Bowl champions,
the best defense in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
What the hell are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (19:04):
But that's that's that's neither here and the interview the
but fourteen games started. While you've established yourself as a
start of the NFL, do you feel comfortable. I mean,
this is such a cutthroat league. It's like you're here,
You're gone, Guys get cut, guys move and all that stuff.
Is there any part of you that allows yourself to say, Hey,
I walk into that locker room, this is my home,
this is where I should be re signed all those things.

(19:26):
But like have you feel any comfort in that at all?
Or is you still like fighting like you got to
a I'm still fighting for a spot every day.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
I think the approach stays the same as far as
like that, like, yeah, I'm gonna work like I'm fighting
for a spot, Like that doesn't change, like the process,
the approach that the whole uh, the whole thing doesn't change.
Like I'm very comfortable and confident in who I am
as a player and a person when I walk in
the building. But that doesn't that doesn't like let me

(19:53):
relax on a day to day. I'm still gonna attack
every single day and like basically just like empty the tank,
like you know, I'm still that because that is me,
all that like everything that made me that I've been
through and and brought me to here, Like that's still
who I am and that's what has got me here.
So like I'm not gonna change anything about myself because

(20:15):
it might be labeled as an NFL starter now, Like
I mean, it was the same way in college, Like
I was, this is me and it's worked for me,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna buy all like buy into
it and I'm gonna stay true to myself.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Drake Thomas with us. How different is it this year
as the defending champs? Does anything feel different? Is anything
approached differently how Mike does things, how you guys approach
mini camp and ota? Is Is there anything any different
feel out there as a defending champs?

Speaker 4 (20:40):
I don't think so.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
It feels like, you know, the guys are just back
out there having fun playing football together. I don't think
there's some you know, like you don't feel like a
target on your back or anything when you're out there
just having fun and just being in the moment, being
intentional to watch at about what you do and trying
to be the best players and team unit team as
you can be. It's not doesn't really feel very different.

(21:01):
It's it's the same thing. It's the same process. We
just start over again.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Targets on a team in southern California. That's kind of good.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
I mean you guys kind of like that, right, Like
it's like everyone's like there's people like Dan, I don't
if you saw the quote Dan Campbell had a great
quote the Lion's Coach. He's like, well, I guess they
already won the title, like whatever. It's like like it's
but that's kind of the feeling. It's like, wow, look
with the Rams, then you guys are defending champs and
people are probably gonna be looking elsewhere, which I think
you kind of like that, don't you doesn't this organ
like it might kind of plays that up a little.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
Bit, I mean to me either way, like whether people
want to put a target on our back or people
want to put it elsewhere and count us out, Like
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yea, it is what it is. It doesn't change anything
about Uh.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
I don't think it changed anything about any of the
guys processes or how they approach it right the day, like, it.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Doesn't it shouldn't affect anything.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Uh, tell me about yesterday. Now, I got an insider
one of our guys, our producers, works at the Doug
Baldwin Center.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
How was the bat I.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Heard there was it was pretty competitive with you guys
and the kids out there yesterday.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
I was it.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
You know, it was a lot of fun. We were
playing some basketball with the kids.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
Of course, it's gonna get a little competit if it's
just us as athletes, right, But it was.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
So much fun going out there and playing basketball with
those kids.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
What kind of game do you have?

Speaker 8 (22:06):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Basketball play at all?

Speaker 7 (22:08):
I mean, yeah, I grew up playing basketball, like try
aau basketball? When did the travel stuff and everything? I
didn't play in high school? Uh, but I mean I
can I can play. Yeah, I'm not. It's been a
while though, So like.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
How long did it take for you guys to kick in?
Like what did the kids say? Something like how long?
Because I heard it got fun? Like it was really fun.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
First of all, what a dream for those young PEOs.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I know, but what did it just like all, hey,
we're gonna play your kids now we're not.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
So yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
We had a couple of different groups and then like
so there was a group that went into the gym.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
First.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
I was going and torn some other places and I
came in the gym and I saw the playing. I
was like, in the back of my mind, I was.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Like, should I play?

Speaker 7 (22:45):
And it's like I want to play, and so I
ended up just saying like I'm trying to play next,
and then we got into a game and then went
from there.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I got next.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, okay, I didn't because I was wondering how much
you played, Like like, you know, you've heard the term, like,
you know, la fitness, try hard guy? Yeah, yeah, is
that true?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Has it come in?

Speaker 9 (23:00):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Who's that guy? Who's that guy out there for you?

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I don't know. It might have been me. I don't
know that it might have been me. I mean it
got competitive out there. So I love what. I'm not
going to back down.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Hell no, that's that's why you're out of the situation
in right now. Two more things for you. One would
be this that what they did yesterday, what Mike did yesterday.
I just listened as a as someone who's been in
this community for a long time, and as a parent
and everything else. I thought it was awesome. And this
is the time of the year. There's some football coaches
be like, I only get X number of days and
minutes with these guys. We're gonna go every second we

(23:31):
can on football. But he you know, short walks through
yesterday and then you guys go do that whether the
VA Hospital, Children's Ron McDonald house or Doug's place.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
As a player, what does that mean? Because getting out
in the community is important, but at the same time
you have a coach that believes that's important too. Yeah,
it probably brings you guys together.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
I mean this, Uh, this whole thing is bigger than
just us, is bigger than wins and losses.

Speaker 10 (23:56):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
This sport has brought us a real platform and oportunity
to make a difference and touch people in different ways,
you know, Uh, make impact on people's lives. So I
think that's our responsibility and going out and trying to
do that to the best of our ability.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
So to to have a organization and coach that believes
that and sees it the same way, I think it's
pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'll wrap it up with this at some point when
you're done here and get a bike to eat and
shower and all that. You guys later on today, get
your rings. That's I mean, how jacked are you to
get I mean, that's it's all about. That doesn't matter
what sport you play, at what level you play, it's
about winning a title. But when you know that there's
a ring and I know I know from what the
last ones looked like. These guys don't spare any expense.

(24:41):
It's like Jody's Jody and in company. It's it's gonna
be something special. What's that going to mean? When you
get handed that ring?

Speaker 7 (24:48):
That's gonna be super special. I feel like you're at
the pinnacle of the sport, you know, when you win
the Super Bowl and finally have that moment to get
that ring. It's what you dream of as a kid.
So I'm super excited to go do that tonight and honestly,
above all else, just celebrate and hang out with my guys.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
So what do you do with the ring? Probably put
it in a safe and just keep it there forever. Yeah,
I don't know. I mean I probably won't be wearing
that out in public very often.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Wait for the next one.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Drake Thomas, I really appreciate you coming in again all
joking side that you did two days this week and
this time it actually worked. Have a hell of a
few weeks off and we'll see you July twenty fifth.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Sounds good. Appreciate you having.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Craig Thomas, great story, great play last year helped him
get that home field advantage. And on the way to
a Super Bowl championship. And he liked all his teammates,
including X teammates that were there last night. Really everybody
except for Ken Walker were there last night the ring ceremony.
Apparently all got their rings as well. So cool stuff.
Thanks for him, not just once, but twice coming to

(25:44):
our little KGr closet there. The second time was the
charmament worked out thanks to the Seahawks PR staff as well.
Come back wrap up hour number one next.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
Now back to and furness on your home for the
Huskies and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
closest Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I we're back inside the studios here Seattle.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
All it's not going well in Canada. I love it.
Spoiler alert.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
They when I say it's not going well, that's a
handball Bosnia is they are? They are. I'm not a fan.
They kind of leave that extra foot in after every
kind of greasy man they are. They are kind of greasy.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Do what it takes to win man. Yes, And I'm just.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Checking Twitter here because I follow a lot of people
north of the border obviously, of course you do. It's
not going well.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
They do.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
You have an American coach, which I think is quite
hilarious by the way, and our coaches from Argentina and
Canada's coaches from US.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, in the World Cup. That makes no sense.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
It is funny because during the coach he's good. During
the last World Cup in twenty twenty two, he was
a lot of people's why isn't this guy the US
coach right now?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
And you know, I guess they had higher sights than
this guy because uh he went to Canada.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, and they're down one nil at halftime. Spoiler alert, Yes, yeah,
it's so see no buddy, Jeff Patterson. J pat spent
twelve dollars in a Canada T shirt. Not money well invested,
not money well invested, all invested. There's some others. People
are losing it north of the border. And again it's

(27:37):
happening in Toronto, which is just like the most negative
city in the world in terms of sports. Yep, God,
I want to see Canada win. This is where I
this is where I think the money's at. Here's my
betting tip of the day, Andrew, you tell me, Okay,
I have to go back and see what it was,
because while it's all live now, soon might take a

(27:58):
grind to do so. I think I think betting a
draw for a lot of games is a good call for.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
A lot of games.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, we haven't had one yet, I know, but like
Canada is going to even this thing up and it's
an end one one, okay you think.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
I think if Canada evens it up, it depends on
how much time's left they might push on to win
because they've been dominating the game, Bosnia. I just got
lucky from a corner. Canada is feeling the pressure they
need to win this game. They're at home.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I got to get my ass up to the still.
Qualm mea casino this weekend. And when I do so,
I'm gonna I'm gonna lay a couple of parlays on
some draws down to see how it works out.

powerhouse against the nobody, and you.

Don't work for FIFA, so I can call you and
you can give me some advice.

Seattle's closest snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports
Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
All right, welcome in two hours to go here on
a Friday, gorgeous weekend coming up in the Pacific Northwest.
They call it the pmw infness with you. Listen, you guys,
hear me all the time talking about my friends at
the hall, and you say the hall which hauly in.
How about all three, moss By Hall and Kirkland my
personal fame. The Queen Anne Beer Hall just a stone's

(31:03):
throw from here. But about if you're playing golfy be
about about part seven from here. And of course in
fact you're going the Storm game Tonight's make sure you
swap stop by the Queen End Beer Hall any events
at CPA or just stop either anyway, And the Oxtental
Hall opened up last summer and it is right next
to the northwest entrance to sorry FIFA Loomin Field. Some

(31:27):
would call it Seattle Soccer Stadium for the next couple
of weeks, but the OX is down there. I was
driving by today and we're getting all these There's a
story in the Times today. There was a kJ from
the Silver Cloud was on with Softy a couple of
weeks ago. It's kind of a gong show down there
right now. And I say down there, I mean down
around the stadium district right but there's gonna be so

(31:49):
many people that are sixty plus thousand going to games,
and then another then thousands of others that are just
gonna be wanting to hang around outside the games and
watch the games. Well listen, I mean from my money
the best place to be the Oxidental Beer Hall right period,
end of story. How do you get there? Can you
get there? Is it open for everybody? Like if you're
just wandering around, we know about the bro barge. You

(32:09):
can go do on the bro barge. The bro barge
they basically took center field a team mobile and move
put it on a barge for soccer out there at
Peer sixty two. You could do that or you go
support local. And that's why my guy Gary from the
Halls is on right now because I just want to
check in and see how things are going down there.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Gary.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
How are you, buddy?

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Good?

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Ian?

Speaker 11 (32:26):
How are you man?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
All right. So if I'm going to the game or
I'm not going to the game, you guys, like people
are down there that come into the ox can they
go in? Are you showing the games?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
The game on Monday? Here, the game next on juneteenth?
And when the US is playing in Australia. Tell people
about what's going on down there. Is it is it
accessible still? Is your place still accessible?

Speaker 8 (32:48):
It absolutely is?

Speaker 12 (32:49):
I mean Pioneer score is going to be really crazy.
Those six matches. Absolutely, I think they're closing almost all
the streets in Pineer Square four hours before every match,
okay until about two hours after everymat but oustin Hills
right off first, so great for uber you can take
you know, you know, ridechair buses. They have those match
day shuttles all around Seattle that are like every ten minutes.

(33:11):
If you go online, they'll tell you all the different
pickup spots throughout downtown and throughout the waterfront. We also
have we're actually activating a beer garden right on Alaska
Away and King called match Day beer Garden.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
It's all ages beer garden.

Speaker 12 (33:22):
So if you park and stay, go downtown toward the
waterfront and just walk down toward the stadium, you'll hit
that match Day beer garden right there just before you
go into the games. It's also great place to just
hang out all day long, honestly, so.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
You guys will like in that beer garden. You show
on the games and stuff too.

Speaker 12 (33:38):
We don't get to show the game actually in the
beer garden, but we'll be It should be packed. We
have Coca Cola's doing a whole DJ stage all the
DJ's day and night for all those matches as well.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
So case like say I want to I'm just hanging around.
I'm not able to go to the game. Can I
still come to the end of the Occidental Hall right
there next to the entrance to it to the stadium.

Speaker 12 (33:56):
In fact, like for those noon matches, we're gonna be
open at eight am. We'll have a breat We'll be
packed the whole day. We anticipated being a super, super
busy day for sure, Gary.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
How is this like the World Cup? But you know,
we always hear that sas sports. This is I say,
we always hear. We've heard in the past from city
council people and others in our city that sports don't
have any economic impact and all of that. And yet
I'm looking downtown. The waterfront's bustling. The bro barge is
what it is. But there's other places going on your place,

(34:27):
maybe Jimmy's on First wherever it might be. What kind
of boost is the World Cup for you guys?

Speaker 12 (34:33):
You know, I'll tell you, first of all, we've been
scared that it wasn't going to be huge. I mean,
there's that all that hype and everybody's been worried. But
I'll say you, yesterday when the World Cup started, all
three of our loplications were full for both matches, and
that's just a huge confidence booster for us. Like you said,
I was driving to the water front yesterday and it's
just bustling and packed all down there.

Speaker 8 (34:52):
So we're our.

Speaker 12 (34:54):
Outlook is huge. I mean, it's definitely millions of dollars
for us. All three locations are playing every single match.
We're anticipating after yesterday that we'll be busy all the time,
especially those USA matches.

Speaker 10 (35:05):
I mean tonight Oux in.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
The Hall is going to be huge.

Speaker 12 (35:08):
We're doing a huge giant party for the first USA
match as well, starting.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
At four o'clock.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Okay, that's at the OX. What about the other two
locations tonight? For if people go watch the US game,
I would get there early.

Speaker 12 (35:18):
I mean saying four o'clock is probably a great time
for six o'clock match. We're anticipating the other two to
have lines outside for sure, but we're going to get
as many people as we can inside. The last World
Cup four years ago, it was just such a massive parties.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
There was so much fun.

Speaker 12 (35:33):
It's just a great place to bang, both in Moss
Bay and Kirklin and in Queenann and I.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Watched the final there at seven a m. With my
Argentinian wife and we had an awesome experience that was
which game was that France? Okay, okay, huge, huge, and six.

Speaker 8 (35:47):
In the morning.

Speaker 12 (35:48):
Like, I mean, you haven't lived until you've seen five
hundred people singing Sweet Caroline drunk at eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
It's I love it great.

Speaker 12 (35:59):
So this sounds like we're expecting a lot from Argentina
and Mexico, Germany, Belgium. These are all huge teams that
we get a lot of folks already to the halls
from there, so we're expecting big days.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
I love it all. Right, Well listen, so again you
can get down there, just kind of be judicious how
you get there. Go enjoy the games, get to the Ox.
If you can't go to the Ox and end up going,
you know, go to one of the other places. Support local,
especially my guys at the halls. But I can't even
imagine what the occidental is gonna be like this on
not just Monday, not just Monday, but next Friday is
gonna be crazy.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Dude.

Speaker 12 (36:29):
Yeah, just come down and spend the whole day. Come
in the morning and just spend the whole day drink, eat,
you know, the whole area is going to be really cool,
all of Occidental Park all the way through Pioneer Square,
also beer gardens and super a ton of fun.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
So I love it's gonna be exciting.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
All right, buddy, great times have fun. I know you're
gonna be busy. You can get some wrestled about a
month or so. We'll talk to you then.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Thanks thee and I appreciate you guys there.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Guys, I got Gary from the halls. Man, it's gonna
be good. You went to the What did you go
to at the Cleanland Hall? The match?

Speaker 2 (36:58):
The final?

Speaker 4 (36:59):
No?

Speaker 1 (36:59):
No, no, like a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
What did I go to it?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Or you're talking about going to it was like the
Champions League?

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Oh yes, yes, the Champions League final. It was when
Arsenal played PSG. It was an awesome experience. You know,
I want to make sure it was being plagues was
before they open, and of course they do there there
might go to the Queen.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Answer, they're kind of the state. I know there used
to be the other place down in Fremont, but like
it's not as big that like the queen An beer halls,
like a soccer play.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah, you're talking about Orge and the Dragon, which I
do like, but I think it's surpassed that for me
in terms of a soccer place to go watch games
because it's big. You can you know, you're going to
get a seat like un let's you know, you get
maybe show up a little bit later, as Gary was
mentioned in there. But yeah, highly recommend it if you're
looking for a place to watch a game.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, I would. I would. I think it's gonna be awesome.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Well, they had like breakfast stuff going on as well
during the final last year.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I'm sure they're gonna be doing similar stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Well, And I just kind of look at it too,
Andrews like this, there is a like the offshoot of
the World Cup here and anywhere else like, but especially here,
like it's so far in LA. I don't think I
think he could safely assume there's not much of an impact.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Well, because it's it's an inglewood exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
There's nothing around it nothing, there's nothing around that stadium.
So you're you're there and you're gone.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, you're going to the game that you're going to
the game.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah, you know here and other stadiums like this that
are in the middle of the city is a good
example Toronto. Yeah, I mean you're gonna have all kinds
of an impact, and I think it's beat you know,
good for good for good for everybody. Get down there
and enjoy it. Should be fine. All right, let's do this.
We'll take a break.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Danny O'Neill is gonna come up. We got a lot

a lot of different rules we can look at. Where
do we start, Well, let's go with that.

Speaker 10 (40:28):
The answer to the question how bad is it, it's
not very bad. And in fact, most people here who
are celebrating are doing things like just going out in
the street and yelling, let's go nick. The other night,
in my neighborhood where I live, which is the Upper
West Side, as people were outside on Wednesday night following
the comeback, a UPS one of their semi trucks rolled

(40:50):
by and everybody started channing ups because they're just excited.

Speaker 8 (40:55):
They just want to be crazy.

Speaker 10 (40:57):
Like, let's go with that.

Speaker 8 (40:58):
The first part of it.

Speaker 10 (40:59):
Now the other the other end of it is this
is an occasionally dangerous city. And the reason it's occasionally
dangerous is because there are eight million people here, and
just by the law of percentages, when you have eight
million people, some slice of those is going to be
an idiot, just like a slice of every city's population
is an idiot. Because we've got so many people, we

(41:21):
just have more idiots.

Speaker 8 (41:22):
And you know what makes idiots act out.

Speaker 10 (41:25):
Is being around other idiots.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
So yes.

Speaker 10 (41:29):
In some concentrations, generally around cameras where people are documenting
this sort of thing, you have people that are behaving
like absolute idiots, and I'm sure most people have seen. Apparently,
when Wemby went back, when the Spurs went back to
their hotel, I think they were staying at the Ritz
Carlton the Air, somebody hit Wemby in the head with
an egg, which is lame as hell, like it's just stupid.

(41:51):
And then that gets into that's not really New York
and I'm like, no, it's not most of New York,
but it is New York.

Speaker 8 (41:57):
It is a crazy place. There are lunatics who lived here.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Danie O'Neill joining us, you wrote something that caught my attention.
In a city of eight million people, and basically every
team has two sports. I mean there's the Nets and
the Knicks, there's the Giants and the Jets, there's the
Rangers and the Islanders, and the Nets and the Yankees.
You got choices all the way around. You wrote something

(42:23):
about the Knicks being the one team that kind of
everyone roots for. That's a New Yorker. Is that like
like they're kind of the exception of the rule. In
some ways.

Speaker 10 (42:31):
Yes, it's like the differences that exist between Jets and
Giants fans. I have yet to meet a Nets fan here,
and it's not for lack of tying. I've even gone
to a Nets game. I just haven't met someone who
considered an actual Nets fan. I've heard. I don't think
I saw him. I heard Jay Z was at the
game the other night, and I think he at least

(42:52):
went at one point owned part of the Nets, or
they said he did. The Sticks are New York's team,
and it is it is a very funny fan base.
That is, if they women are going to become quickly annoying,
Like right now they're still kind of funny and gearing
that that will quickly turn. But it is cool to watch,

(43:15):
like seeing John McEnroe and Larry David sitting next to
each other quarter side and how like angst ridden they are.
Like that part, that part is fun.

Speaker 8 (43:24):
It is.

Speaker 10 (43:24):
It is fun to see and to watch, and I'm
rooting for them. But kind of the question I had,
you might be.

Speaker 8 (43:30):
Able to answer it for me.

Speaker 10 (43:32):
Am I allowed to wear a T shirt? I have one.

Speaker 9 (43:35):
My wife gave it to me.

Speaker 10 (43:36):
I wore it last week when I was in California.
But that's a little bit different because somebody I live
in New York. But being here in New York feels
a little weird. It feels kind of phony. I'm not,
but I've lived here for six years. I don't know
the rules and regulations, Like, well, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Well, I think I think the easy answer to me is, yes,
you've you've you've been there, you've been there a while.
We don't have currently an NBA team your city used
to live in and you're getting caught up in it.
I mean, listen, you're asking the one person not named
Chuck Powell at this radio station who's lived in other cities.
So I do have a little bit of context to that,

(44:14):
because you know, most of us here have lived here
their entire life, right, and it's you can't fathom that,
you know. I spent six years in Salt Lake, and
I found myself becoming a little bit of a University
of Utah fan, you know at times, because I'm there
and I'm a long ways and you know, just from
football and basketball standpoint now, I didn't like their basketball teams.

(44:36):
I didn't like big Man. Not a fan of Jaris,
but for he he tried to get me fired. So
I didn't really like him, But but I liked I
love Ron McBride, their old football coach, and knew bunch
of their coaches. Hung out with a bunch of those guys,
and so I kind of became a little bit of
a closet utah Utes football fan at times. And then

(44:58):
I will tell you this when I got there, Danny,
this is what's weird. This is how fan because the
rules of fandom are strange. You can't define, and you
never know where it's going to come from, right like
like how like all of a sudden you're going to
gravitate towards a team and a case in point. Growing
up here and then you know, working here for a
while covering the Sonics before I moved and kind of

(45:22):
started the media tour, I hated the Jazz because it
was Carl and John, Jerry, the whole crew, right, and
you know we had I mean, I think I think
you can make an argument the Jazz in some ways
were Seattle's best rivalry the last few years. The Sonics.

Speaker 8 (45:35):
Yeah, I would agree with that.

Speaker 10 (45:37):
I think that's true, especially because if you got right
down to it, the Sonics did not like Stock No, no,
but they thought he was a dirty player.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yes, and he was. Uh and but but so I
go to Salt Lake and I'm on the jazz radio show,
like I do stuff for them, and then I found
myself and I hated him, and I was like, you know,
and the songs were still here. Well, fast forward a
few years. You know, my son's born in Salt Lake.

(46:06):
And as we're going through stuff, like he's a big
basketball guy and he kind of we don't have a team.
He gravitates towards the Jazz. I gravitate towards the jazz.
I kind of like the jazz. Now, I kind of
root for the jazz. Now now that'll change a second
we get a team back. So there is no rules
of fandom. I think it's hard to be a fan

(46:27):
of two college teams in the same state, Dick Fane,
you know, Gonzaga and Washington.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
That's just me.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
But but there's no rules. There's no hard rules.

Speaker 8 (46:35):
I don't think it's slight.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Well, isn't Gonzaga a school that is kind of a
rival East free basketball program?

Speaker 8 (46:43):
Should we should? We should?

Speaker 10 (46:45):
It's it's hard, I know, because I know other people
that went to Washington and root for Gonzaga too, and
it blows mine.

Speaker 8 (46:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Wait, so Dick's wait, time out, time out. Dick's not
alone in that. You have other Husky fans that are
the same way.

Speaker 10 (46:58):
Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to out him. But he
worked at the Seattle Times and was and part of
it was he worked in Spokane for a while and
started liking the Zags, And I was like, you went
to Washington, Like, not only did you go to Washington,
you were there during some of the awful like Andy Russo,
Bob Bender years and you were still going to DAGs
and now you like him.

Speaker 8 (47:16):
Guy, don't get it.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Danny Ian's completely confused face right now will make you
laugh even more.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
I know what I'm doing is I'm going through the
staff and I'm trying to figure out who it is.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
That's what I'm doing right now. Like, Okay, let's see.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
No he's from there, No Stony I think is a
California guy.

Speaker 9 (47:38):
Uh, he didn't work in sports, oh, Danny west Meat,
but it's okay.

Speaker 10 (47:51):
I'm uncertain about how west Meat feels about abousca.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Or anything that has to do with something that city politics. Yeah, no,
I that's good. Yeah, I don't know, like you fan,
how you want a fan, you be a Knicks fan,
go for it, I think, you know, from a basketball standpoint,
you know, we're kind of in Seattle. Hey, they knocked out,
they knocked out in Oklahoma City. Miss Johnson's a local guy,
son of JJ Sonic champion and legend all those things.

(48:20):
I kind of felt bad for them, like he's just
getting crucified, right because it's like, well, you know, and
I kind of do believe for a team to come
back in the NBA by that kind of deficit the
other team, he does need to help him, right, like
they do need to help him along the way. But
at the same time, I mean, it was just one
of those things, like one of the most incredible things
in sports we've ever seen. Right, Sometimes you just got
to give the other team due.

Speaker 10 (48:41):
Yeah, it was. I mean, there are a lot of
different things a PLA. First, I love Mitch Johnson. I
covered Mitch when he was in high school at oday
and still good friends with his high school coach or
people that worked around him, So knowing him and the
guys that he grew up playing with, love Mitch and
have always considered it to be a future coach. It

(49:04):
is a bummer to watch him get the criticism that
he is because there's part of me that just looks
at it and says, yeah, the Spurs they had some
problems and dearon Fox made a terrible decision in going
in for that way, like if you if you could
do it over again. But man, when when the Calves
came back and beat the Warriors, no one really remembers this.

(49:28):
Kyrie Irving did something very similar in the game seven
of that series where the Calves beat the Warriors, where
Lebron has that block. Yeah, but the loose ball ended
up bouncing off of a Warrior and so the Calves
retained possession. But it was a very similar type circumstance.
So the idea he made the bad a bad play,

(49:50):
and looking back, the fact that San Antonio was so
cold from the field, there's all sorts of things you
could say they should have they should have stopped shooting
so many three because we know what they did do
didn't work. Yeah, but there's also a level of they
were unbelievably hot in the first half and you knew
that that was going to change someone. They didn't commit

(50:11):
any turnovers. They played about as perfect a half.

Speaker 8 (50:13):
As you can.

Speaker 10 (50:14):
That changed in the second half and things kind of
balanced out and it came right down to it, and
the Knicks made their own mistakes, but it ended up
they ended up making more shots down the stretch. It
was a great game and that's probably something that the
Spurs are going to learn from. I do think they
have an issue with the Aaron Fox. I think Dylan

(50:35):
Harpurn needs to play more minutes than the Aaron Fox.
But that's that's kind of a different, a different question
I did. I felt bad for me because I love
this John Well.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
D Aaron Fox also dribble the ball for five seconds
in what was a game game two, right when they
were down one and they inbounded and they're like, okay,
you get seven point five seconds left. That's plenty of
time to get a good offensive play in and they
inbounded to them. He just dribbled the ball out like
it's just and then oh better passed to Wemby with
one and a half two seconds left and just for

(51:05):
a desperation shot. Yeah, the Aaron Fox is late. Late
game decision making is less than ideal. Right now, we
football over the NCAA. The biggest story came earlier this week.
Oh my god, Andrews, are you watching this?

Speaker 4 (51:17):
This is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Yeah, no, it's happen in the first time. The hydration
break happened too. They do it on their purpose. Yeah,
I'm sorry, Dany. We're distracted.

Speaker 9 (51:23):
What we're watching Canada and Bosnia right now.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Buddy is trash, Danny, Yeah, they're not.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
They're they're struggling. It's a it's a struggle bus for them.
They turned the sprinklers on. I was like, what the
hell it looked like? It looks like that Dolphins game
the Seahawks played back in twenty twelve when the sprinklers
came on down in Miami.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Remember that. Uh.

Speaker 10 (51:47):
The Canadians coach fight American. I believe Jesse Mars, who
is is a fairly annoying winer.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
We're going to get to that in our next segment.
By the way, as a teas ahead, that's a radio
teas for you people. We got some sound from Clint
Dempsey about him. He's not happy with his ex teammates.
All right, let me The week started out with one
of those stories that is both stunning and also a
rarity where it unified the entire country against one entity.

(52:15):
Brendan Soorsby granted his eligibility by a judge in Texas, who,
by the way, is not in Texas Tech alum. He's
a University of Houston alum. But he was granted his
eligibility despite the fact he bet on college football as
wait for it, a college football player. You've said you
had mixed feelings on the subject.

Speaker 10 (52:34):
Why Because I don't think anybody looking at the situation
thinks that someone who bets on games that they're involved
in and should get to continue to play like that. Man.
I guess there's an argument where two games suspension is
that enough given what had happened, But that's a pretty

(52:56):
clear line and all of the different nations or excuses.
I think the coach Joey maguire was saying, like he
didn't murder anyone. It's like, yeah, but gambling on the
games is actually undermines the actual games. Like I'm not
saying that off the field stuff shouldn't be punished or overlooked,

(53:16):
but you're comparing two different things, and I don't think
there's anybody that thinks that that's okay that you can
tolerate that, And I honestly believe that the only way
you create a deterrent there is to make the punishment
for that very overwhelming. So I don't think. I don't
find Brandon Soursby to be at all sympathetic, and if
I don't think he should play college football again, that's

(53:37):
just my opinion. But the other side of it is
that I think the NCAAD nobody but itself to blame
for the fact that it can't suspend someone.

Speaker 8 (53:49):
Who bets on his own games like.

Speaker 10 (53:51):
The clearest, most clear cut infraction you could have, and
he suspend him, and the courts are like, Nope, you
can't do it. And I do feel a certain level
of glee in that, because I really hate the nc DOUBLEA.
And mostly what I hate is that for ten years
they've refused to adapt clear changes that are happening. They've

(54:12):
basically been a bunch of babies and said.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
Well, somebody's got to help us and force our rules.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
Why can't we force our rules?

Speaker 10 (54:18):
Like, no, your rules were outdated, and you made the
conscious decision not to try to create new rules that
would work this environment. So the fact that you can't.
It's your fault. You can't suspend Brandan's source. It's your fault.
And I don't feel bad for them or feel sympathetic
towards them, and I think they're pathetic. I think the

(54:39):
whole organization should be put to Let them organize tournaments,
but get the NCAA out of the business. Don't ask
them to adjudicate on anything in terms of eligibility or
transfers for any of that stuff. It's a dead organization,
Dani Neil.

Forkliffs to Palette Racks, Conveyor's, the loading dock equipment, sell,

at a NBHS dot com get a call for two
five zero five hundred. I find the whole thing strange
from this standpoint, Danny, I I remember this is how

(55:13):
old I am. I was at the University Sports Bar
and grill on the Universe in the University district. I was.
I was there for a fantasy football draft in nineteen
ninety three and with a bunch of friends and we
were doing it. You know, we had our USA Today
Is and our magazines out for a fantasy football draft

(55:34):
and it was, I believe a Sunday night like five o'clock,
had a couple of pints and hanging out having some fun.
And my wife, she's my wife then yeah, she would
My wife at the time calls the bar and says,
is Ian Ferness there? And she and they asked us
is Ian Freness there? And I'm like yeah, and the

(55:54):
guy I go, yeah, this is Ian. Hey, uh, your
wife's calling us to talk to you. I'm like, oh
my god, what happened?

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Pick up?

Speaker 1 (56:02):
So I walked behind the bar, grabbed the phone and
she's like yeah, hey. So I was working as a
producer at Como at the time, and which also means
you kind of a reporter, right, And they're like, hey,
they're calling. They need you to meet a photographer down
at the Tubby Graves Building or something. She says, and
I'm like, why s there's a news conference, like what?
And I go down there and it was when Don

(56:23):
James resigned. He wasn't there, but it was when Jim
Lambright and Barbara Heages come out and we have to
cover this star and I and I I thought to myself, well,
why was that? Did the end? No, the NC DOUBLEA
didn't sanction him. The PAC ten did. The PAC ten
said you know what, this is the deal. You are
no TV for a year. And people were like, wait,
well they're back then. Not every game was on TV.

(56:45):
It was a big deal and Bowl band and all
the stuff that they did, and James and of course
resigned in protest, and the rest is history. It was
not the NC DOUBLEA that to me brings up this question.
To me, the Big Twelve, it's a very simple process.
Just he's not eligible and you want to fight us
in court, so be it just? I just I can't understand,

(57:05):
for the life of me, why Brett your mark in
the Big Twelve when fifteen to sixteen members say this
is wrong? Do what's right? Just say he can't play,
just like they said the Huskies can't play in a
bowl game. It's not that hard, right.

Speaker 10 (57:19):
I one hundred percent agree with you, And I'll go
a step further. Is that the stuff that Texas Tech
officials have been saying recently about Asking, saying he had
an addiction and that there Cody Campbell, who's their big
movie Booster was on with Dan Dakics Sin I said,
like we were, we should let him play. We need

(57:40):
to let him plays in basically saying because he had
a gambling problem that you need no, Like, that's not.

Speaker 8 (57:49):
I completely agree with you, the Big twelve.

Speaker 10 (57:51):
And honestly, if Texas Tech's not going to do it,
then the Big twelve really should because it's it's not right,
it's not it makes no sense. And because the NCAA
can't do it because of its own ineptitude doesn't mean
that somebody shouldn't. And the idea that Tech Tech has
no choice but to play him or to honor this

(58:12):
decision that's been passed down, that's absurd too, because that's
not how accountability works. And I have a lot of
sympathy for people who have compulsive issues with compulsive behavior,
both personally and in my family, but that's not how
accountability works, which is that like, look, I had a problem,

(58:34):
so you have to overlook. No, you had a problem,
and you have to deal with the consequences of the
things that you did while you were suffering from that problem.

Speaker 8 (58:41):
That's part of the deal.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Danny, I'm gonna ask you. We talked about your battle
with alcohol a couple.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Gambling, what the addiction part of it? Can you relate
to that?

Speaker 4 (58:54):
What do you think?

Speaker 10 (58:55):
Yeah, yeah, I can in the sense that I know
that I know that there are behaviors where you can
know this is bad for me, I shouldn't be doing this.
And whether it's a lack of will power or the
desire for the feeling you get while you're doing that activity,
whether it's drinking or gambling, that there is there is

(59:16):
a compulsive element to it, and it does get slippery
when you start kind of comparing different types of behaviors,
like can you be addicted to fattening food? Probably in
a certain sense, can you be addicted to like taking revenge?
There are some people that will make that sort of argument,
So it is there's a spectrum of things. But I

(59:38):
think what we know is that gambling is an activity
that a number of people can do and they might
lose some money doing it, but find it overall an
enjoyable part of their experience and they don't suffer like
it's the thing that they enjoy doing for a much
like alcohol, for a small portion of the population, that

(01:00:00):
activity becomes something that is compulsive and that you do
in spite of the recognition that this is really bad
for me and for my life. And it gets complicated
there of like how do you get out of that,
how do you correct for that? And how do we
as a society show compassion, because what everybody should want

(01:00:20):
is for the behavior that is hurting you in your life.
And I don't know the full depth. I think what
I've read is that something like sixty thousand dollars that
he gambles and a ton of money, and it certainly
sounds incredibly reckless, and I don't doubt that he had
a compulsive gambling problem. Like that's not part I'll take
them at their word or him at his word when

(01:00:42):
he says that. But the question of how you deal
with the results of that is that you did do
those things. And it's not at out a jail free
card for the consequences of that. If I had and
I never got arrested for DUI, but if I had,
if I have two or three DUIs, you don't get

(01:01:02):
to go to rehab and say I'm all better. So
none of that count. Like no, like you still like
like there is a there are things that you do
and that is part of the accountability and recovery from it.
And I'm not saying that he's saying this. I'm just
saying that the things that I'm hearing from some of
the Texas Tech officials, I'm like.

Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
Oh, this is this is.

Speaker 10 (01:01:24):
You want him to play, and you're trying to find
a way to make you feel justified in that decision, when,
like you said, on its face of it, I mean,
this is a really clear line, like you can't bet
on games, and you certainly can't bet on games that
involve your team.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Tell people all the day a possibly, sir, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
And what is turned into a really ugly, sloppy game
one one Canada and Bosnia. There's six minutes of stoppage
time going on right now. It's if you're saying this
is a clinic on how to play soccer, this would
not be the video you would show. Ever knew this
is a this is just a gong show. It's it
looks like, honest to god, it looks like a hockey game.
Like there's there's more. Body checks, guys falling down. True,

(01:03:35):
dudes are hurt. What's going on? Everyone yelled at the officials.
It's like, God, is it Kelly Sutherland? Is it Wes McAuley,
Who's It's just awful anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Compair this to the two games yesterday, I know, I know,
those are so great, high skill.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Like ye all these things basta.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
This is just so set this up with that, with
that instead set this up. Canada's coach is an American. Yes,
his name Jesse marsh All. Right, so that sets up
the audio you've got for me? Go ahead, yeah, oh,
before you play, tell me so this is actually this
is actually Clint Dempsey. Yeah, and what's he talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
This is Fox's coverage asking about something that Jesse March
said in the lead up to this game against Bosnia
and Herzegovina. This game against wait for it, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
not the United States.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
And this is a former American player on the national
team who's now the coach of Canada.

Speaker 13 (01:04:31):
Reminder, Jesse represented the United States not only as a player,
but as an assistant.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Coach as well. Yesterday, he had.

Speaker 13 (01:04:38):
A comment that caught our attention He said that when
he was an assistant with US under Bob Bradley, Clint
he had to beg the players to sing the national anthem.

Speaker 11 (01:04:48):
He really said that. He said that, Man, I can't
take this guy too seriously. I mean, it was an
honor for me growing up and representing my country, and
when the national anthem happened, I would I wasn't someone
who normally would s. I put my hand over my
heart and I prayed the good man upstairs. I'm someone
who's bled for this country. I broke my nose playing
for this country. I've come back from two heart procedures

(01:05:08):
and played for this country. So I'm not gonna take
advice from someone who switched to the other side and
singing in another country's national anthem. And as my boy
T T would say, stay in your own lane. It
looks like he's in a dang mopad. So where about
your own team?

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Wow? Wow, Clint Clinton not holding back, not holding back.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
From far and we stand up guard for the.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
More context during the twenty twenty two World Cup. This guy,
and we mentioned this earlier in the show, this guy
was what a lot of American fans kind of wanted
The US coach to be. He's had some success in
the Premier League, he's coached in other teams in Europe,
and he was an American coach who didn't have a
job at the time. During the twenty twenty two World
Cup and when there was like criticism of Greg Burlter,

(01:05:53):
the then US men's national team coach, Everyone's like, oh,
why don't you have Jesse marsh as your coach? And
he ends up going to coach Canada instead. We got
a much better coach anyways, So I'm so happy that
didn't end up happening. But it's just it's it's a
lead up to the game against Bosnie and Hertz Schovino.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Why are you talking about the US? That's my question.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
I love Clint Demps, just hammering the guy. Good for him, Yeah,
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
We like Clint dem Clint Dempsey on the air, I
love him. I think he's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Is he the shoe? He'd be like the number one.
They're still trying to make Alexi Lawless like the Star. No,
he's just not good, No.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
I I he he's good at saying things that give
people riled up, if that's what you're into. But Clint
Dempsey is kind of a good combination. Him and I
Taylor Twelman are probably my two favorite analysts MLS and
that's who he's referencing when he says my bowie, t
T would say Taylor Twelman.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
So uh, it's just doing yeah, what are we doing?

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
Just but it's combined, like he'll say stuff, but it's
there's good analysis involved too.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
It's not like Steven A. Smith just trying to get
a SoundBite, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Yeah, okay, all right, We'll take a break. Come back.

Here's Ian Corvin Smith joined us. We do appreciate him

(01:08:54):
as always. Hello, sir, how are you?

Speaker 8 (01:08:58):
I'm good to you and thank your having.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Give me.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
Give me your thoughts, my friend, what's going on? What's happening?
You cut your hand off or something? What's going on
with that? You know?

Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
But I had the nickname Wolverine in high school because
I've always healed really fat. I almost cut my finger
in half and it's it's completely steeled shut already two
days after doing it. So I'm on the bend.

Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
I saw you were able to type out some things,
which is a good thing, including the day three Seahawk
defense dominates. You talked about rashichi heat, which I want
to get to as well. I'll let you start here though,
because I walked out a couple different times over the
last few days. And I walk out Corbin's are He's
shaking his head. It's like I don't know what I'm like, Okay,

(01:09:44):
what's going on? Yes, I don't know about number six.
That's Jalen Milroll for those who don't know. And then
we talked about that for a second. I had to
run into Anders and saying, who we're back from breaking
a couple of minutes. So I'm running back in right
then I see Jalen Milroe throw a little screen pass.
It's at the receiver's feet. I look back a shaking
his head, shaking his head again.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Do they have a Jayleen Milrall problem in your opinion?

Speaker 8 (01:10:08):
I don't know if it's a problem just yet, but
I just have some concerns, and I know that I
am not the only one that feels this way from
what I've seen at Ota is in now mini camp.
I just I see a young quarterback that they're trying.
They are trying very hard to get his pocket passing

(01:10:30):
ability where it needs to be to be a viable
NFL back at quarterback, and I'm just I'm not seeing it.
I'm just not seeing the consistency accuracy wise. I'm not
seeing the consistency with the processing that needs to be there.
There's still are some throws that he makes You're like, hey,
wait a second, and there's what you need that that

(01:10:51):
looks good, but then the mechanics get away from it
again and then he bounced past the throw to a guy,
or he throws the screen passed out at there. It's
just already the process is late, and he gets picked
off for a pick six by the Anthony Bell like
he did yesterday. It's it's I'm sure as the coaching
staff there's gonna be growing pain. They understand that, but

(01:11:13):
you're also a year two for this young man, and
you were hoping to see more progress than that. Just
just being brutally honest at least by assessment.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Uh Gorbor has been joining US Central City Spectrum. Let me,
I love this because I used to Curtis and I
used to always have fun with this, and Kevin and
I we used to always have fun with the you know,
the training camp All American and you know Hall of
Famer or the training camp or OTAs in mini camps.
But there are sometimes guys that stand out. So let
me just start there. Who was the guy that stood
out to you the most, that maybe was the biggest

(01:11:44):
surprise in a positive way.

Speaker 8 (01:11:47):
You know, if you would have asked me this that
coming out of Ota is the player I'm gonna mention,
it wouldn't even have been in consideration, but I thought,
no way. A Binogny had a fantastic mandatory mini camp
and seemed like the light switch came on. He didn't
look like he was comfortable with Mike McDonald's defense during
the OTA sessions we got to watch, but everything flipped

(01:12:11):
in these mini camp practices. He had four past breakups,
had a pick six yesterday where he jumped the curl
route to Ricky White the third and took it back
to the house. And you can just tell he's doing
He's doing this playing inside and outside. He was a
first round pick, has never been able to play to
that level in the NFL. But Mike McDonald loves this kid.

(01:12:34):
They tried to get in the last two years in
free agency and the fact he could play all over
the place, I right now would have him as a
favorite to be the number three corner going into training.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Camp, so he'd be head of Princht at this point.

Speaker 8 (01:12:49):
Yep, yep, I would have because Pritchett's only going to
play in the boundary and think Bonogny could play all
over the place, which you know Mike McDonald's value is
that greatly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
What about what about the the three rookie corners who
jumped out there.

Speaker 8 (01:13:04):
I thought all three of those guys had solid offseason programs,
but the one that really surprised me was Michael Dansby.
I just felt like every time I was over watching
drill work where number thirty seven was out there, he
was making plays in the football. He had an interception
yesterday he made you know, you could call it a

(01:13:25):
Willie Mays or a Jim Edmonds catch, depending what era
baseball fan you are. Over the shoulder. Last week at
OTA's the end zone. That was a spectacular play. And
I think people just have to realize, like he gave
up a thirty six percent completion rate for Arizona last year,
Like he's a pretty good football player that just didn't

(01:13:45):
do anything in the pre draft process. He might end
up being the biggest steal the Seahawks had in this
draft class. So I was really impressed by him. Neil
had some big plays as well. I think he's going
to show up more when the Pats come on.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
But was really good.

Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
Well it wasn't bad. I just he didn't make them
impact plays that the other two did. So I was
encouraged by what I saw from all.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Three players, though the one thing just watched a couple
of days watching out there and just especially the early
stuff we're able to kind of and I think it's
had some video of it as well. Nick Eman Worri
is going to be really fun to watch his second season.
And I say that because we don't even know where
he's going to be half the time. Right, They're going
to probably use this guy all the play. He spent
a ton of time with the defensive lineman while the

(01:14:30):
outside linebackers I guess we call him right with Nuosu
and Lawrence and guys like that doing pass rush drills.

Speaker 8 (01:14:37):
I'm going to make a very bold proclamation right now,
and I think nick Evan Worri, when the twenty twenty
six season is over, is going to be the defensive
player of the year in the NFL. I'm making that
prediction right now. I think this kid, he was so
good last year and he was barely scratching the surface

(01:14:58):
of what he's capable of doing. Year or two. Mike
McDonald is gonna fully unleash this kid. I would not
be shocked if he gets six seven sacks this year,
and he's also getting a bunch of tackles for a loss.
He's making plays and coverage. I mean what he affords him, well,
he affords Mike McDonald. There isn't a team in the
league that can run the personnel flexibility to the Seahawks

(01:15:21):
two because he can play edge rusher. I mean, he
did not look out of place in those drills because
how big he is. He just he looks like he
could be a defensive end, and you know, he can cover.
He runs in the four threes, he can defend speedy receivers,
he can defend big tight ends, he can play linebacker.
I mean, I just you know, as an opposing quarterback

(01:15:42):
and opposing offensive coordinator, that would drive me nuts trying
to game plan because I just have no idea what
they're gonna do with him, and he's gonna be equally
disruptive no matter where you put him. I just think,
on a defense that is full of stars, nobody's got
a higher ceiling than Nick even wore he does.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
It is our good friend Corbin Smith, Emeral City Spectrum,
Inneral Cityspectrum dot Com joining us here on the Beacon
Plumbing hotline. Let's go to the offense for a second.
You wrote about growing pains for Jadarian Price. What do
you mean?

Speaker 8 (01:16:14):
Yeah, but with him, the biggest thing that he's going
to have to continue working on is the consistency as
a pass catcher. We've seen him make a lot of
nice receptions and one thing I'm encouraged by a lot
of running backs or body catchers. He is a hand catcher.
He gets his hands out and he's aggressive playing of football.
What he's going to have to continue working on is

(01:16:36):
beyond the five to ten yard routes, being able to
bring those in. There have been a couple of times
that he's gotten open on wheel routes, but he hasn't
been able to bring the ball in tracking the football.
That's still something he's got to work on. The growing
pains are going to be there and when they get
the pads on in pass protection. I don't have any
doubts about his ability to run the ball. It's going
to be the other aspects that he needs to fill

(01:16:58):
to be able to get full time starting duty as
a rookie.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
Do you think there's any doubt he's going to get
the first carry of the year.

Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
No, I think I think he'll be the starter. I
think George Halani's gonna get quite a bit of run,
but I don't think I don't think Halani's gonna win
the starting job though. I think it's Jadari in prices
to lose.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
Let's let's talk about the chemistry we're seeing from this
is weird to say the quarterback and the offensive player
of the year that you wrote about.

Speaker 8 (01:17:26):
You know, it's funny. I talked to a couple of
PR people in the sideline yesterday and I just kind of,
you know, smirked a little bit, like you know that
number eleven is pretty darn good. I mean, all he
did was all he did was score seven touchdowns in
the two open a mini camp practices that were out
of the practice bec I mean, he is just he

(01:17:46):
is so smooth. He's so much fun watching it. And
Sam Darnald like I do you think you've seen the
best for number fourteen. I'm afraid to break it to you,
but you have not. Like he he's just he looks
like one of those players that getting over the hump
to win a Super Bowl. Like now he's Sanos and
he's got the glove on and he's got all the stones,

(01:18:07):
like he is playing with chemistry with his receivers. He's
in full command. He's throwing the ball with incredible timing
to get the ball with receivers Like there was a
couple of times Josh Job had Jack and Smith and Jig,
but it looked like he hadn't completely locked up. And
the next thing, you know, blink of an eye, Sam
Donald's throwing him open for a touchdown like that. And

(01:18:27):
he did it with Rashid Shaheat a lot in this
offseason program too, which that is an incredibly encouraging development
because the timing was not there for those guys for
most of the time after that trade happened. Those guys
are on a different page now together on the same page,
I should say. I just that is the one big
thing I'll say, is not that you know, it's not
an overreaction, like Sam Donald looks. He looks even better

(01:18:51):
than what he did last year.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
You mentioned Rashid Shiheed. We should go down that road
for a second. I kind of was mentioned this on
the air of other day, if and it's a bit
gif because he hasn't you know, whether it be college
or now one year in the NFL. If Tory Horton
is healthy, if he can get healthy and they have
a and we saw what he was able to do,
especially red zone last year. If Tory Horton's healthy and

(01:19:14):
they have Rashid Shaheed that's involved in the offense, that's
a pretty That's a pretty good situation, is it not.

Speaker 8 (01:19:23):
I think the Seahawks can have a top three to
top five caliber receiving corps that isn't just about Jackson
Smith and Jigba. If you have a fully realized connection
between Sam Darnold and Rashid Shaheed and you have a
healthy and can stay healthy, Tory Horton, like he said
that that's a big question mark. It has been for

(01:19:43):
him dating back to college. But Tory Horton was he
was tied for the team lead in touchdown catches when
he got hurt last year, Jackon Smith and Jigba was
not leading by himself. I just I think that they
have the pieces in place, and I wouldn't be surprised
that Jake Bobo is more productive this year, especially with
the way Darnold was featuring him some in the playoffs

(01:20:04):
a year ago. I just think they've got a really
nice collection of receivers that all do some different things
and I've also been kind of intrigued by IRV Charles,
who they just traded for. I was looking at him
to just be a special teams guy. But if you
told me he was a tight end when I saw
him in the field, I would have said, oh yeah,
that definitely looks like a tight end. He makes Cody
White look small, and Cody White is a big receiver.

(01:20:28):
They've got a lot of fun pieces out there. Emmanuel
Henderson had a nice touchdown yesterday, so we got to
mention him too. So they got a good problem with
that position as long as they can keep guys healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Yeah, they got a really good problem there with an
embarrassment of riches. All right, I'll wrap it up with this.
Greg and I were talk Greg Bell and I were
talking this about this earlier on Cross Talk. By all indications,
when he's been dressed, active, healthy out there for OTAs
or Mini camp, there seems to be no doubt who
the number one player is at right guard. How far
away is both Stevens. Is he truly the number three
guy there?

Speaker 8 (01:21:00):
Yeah? Right now, right now I would have him behind
Bryce Cabledoo and Christian Haines maybe is still there too.
Haines has been the number two guy. I thought that
might be something that was going to be in flux,
but Haines has looked pretty good the last couple of
weeks when he's had his opportunities. So Pads come on,
that changes everything. But Bo Stevens right now for fans

(01:21:22):
that we're hoping he was going to be jumping into
the mix to start early, I never was expecting that,
but that's certainly not the direction it's heading. And I'm
telling you this, and like Anthony Bradford, fans should not
be surprised if he gets an extension. John Benton loves
this kid. He absolutely loves them and he's the second
youngest offensive lineman they have on that starting lineup too,

(01:21:44):
So I'm just throwing that out there. Fans should be
at least prepared for that possibility.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Well, you know, like it's funny because Greg said the
exact same thing earlier in regards to him. Benton loves him,
and the thing is he kind of brings a different
element than the the other four guys in that line.
You know, like there's a lot of there's a lot
of skill, great finesse, great feet on this guy's just
a Maller and he is a mean son of a gun,
Like he has an attitude that's little different than everybody else.

(01:22:12):
I can see why Betton would like him.

Speaker 8 (01:22:15):
And yesterday at practice, it was funny because Greg and
I were right next to each other when it happened.
Do you know how heavy those one man slaps are?

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (01:22:23):
He got underneath it and almost threw it, flipped it
completely forward, like I had never seen an offensive lineman
do that. And John Betton, I can't repeat what he
said afterwards. He was excited, but I can't repeat what
he said John Beton. Like when I talked to the
Super Bowl weegue last week, like some people are last year,

(01:22:46):
people be like, well, he's just saying good things because
it's his player, isn't no, John Benton. Genuinely, I would
make the argument Anthony Bradford might be his favorite player
in that group. I mean, he loves it. He gets
so excited when he bashes sleds and he was the
only guy that had a perfect perfect score when they

(01:23:07):
were doing their pulling pulling block drill yesterday. Benton loves him.
So again, I'm just saying, don't be surprised. In fact,
I'm leaning towards there's more of a chance he gets
a new contract than the other way around. I just
I think that the Seahawks are valuing that more than
they ever had, and John Benton really wants this kid

(01:23:27):
to be around.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):

sorry couldn't checking in here today.

Speaker 15 (01:25:24):
I was busy, get warmed up, a little game called
and all those toes, followed by getting messy with Messi
and of course finishing with the Kudi gra How Schmitzer
metter T telling my boys Brian's days. He is an
absolute lady slayer Saunders at seven thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
FIFA felts We've now got.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
That might be the best talk back of all time.
We've got FIFA felts with us. Now. All that is good.
That is good.

Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Everyone gets a World Cup. You get a World Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
I get a World Cup.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Oh man, well we'll be playing that for safe at
forty five. Ill at Jackson here, he's got to be
in here for that FIFA felts.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
He's got from furious felts to FIFA felts.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
I got one more debt.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
Hey man, depressed Seattle sports guy.

Speaker 17 (01:26:21):
Here, I don't know the mayor's winning percentage fifty four,
so I guess they're doing the fan base of favor.
They just lost another series to Ballard High School or
Baltimore or some mediocre team.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (01:26:37):
We have more starting pitchers than we do relievers, but
no light at the end of the title. Go World
Cup bill us.

Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
Oh my god. By the way, they're at fifty one
winning percentage right now, not fifty four. Fifty one zero
point four percent. I wonder if it was yesterday, could
have been they lost a powered high school. I don't
think Lonzo place for Ballard High School. But okay, I
feel you, I gotcha. I'm still getting over that was good.

(01:27:09):
That was really good. Though normally that would be like
just an absolute winner, but FIFA felts just came flying
through on us. So I'm gonna read this real quick,
and I'm gonna counter it with something, just some proof. Okay,
two five three, No one cares about soccer, but they
care even less because they know we don't have a
chance to win at all. So the answer is never
country will never be good at soccer, all right. They

(01:27:32):
will follow this with another one two six. I don't
follow soccer. I could probably name five players total, But
why would anybody handle the World Cup? Just a sportsman.
I don't understand dismissing that level competition. Go USA's from Chip.
Here's the thing for the guy says no one cares.
I was just watching in between the can Is there
a game before before the US?

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
Nope? There's only two today total.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Okay, so they're doing like a three hour pregame show
on Fox and on Fox thirteen here locally, and my
friend Lauren Donovan's at the Seattle Center where I guess
I think that Fox our team's doing some stuff there. Fox,
like everyone's doing something. First of all, when you say
no one cares, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Look downtown.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
First of all, you may not care, but to say
no one cares is and I'm not talking about the world,
I'm just talking about our city. To say no one cares,
you just got your head buried in the sand and
you're just being that guy that wants to hate on things.
That's that you're just a miserable person because no one cares.

(01:28:30):
I'm watching Lauren do this live shot at the what
do they call that place? You used to be the
food Circus, The Armory or something. So it is a
ton of people there already. What times the game checks? No,
fuck three and a half hours away. I got to
drive home. I'm gonna drive through the waterfront area, which
I do every time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Good luck.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Gary was telling us earlier the from the Occidental, Queen
Anne and mos Pe beer halls you better be there
by now, Like get there early now. I say that
Occidental is probably well queen a beer hall be jammed
pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
Oh yeah, like they said get there by four. I
think yeah, but no one cares. Okay, but it's like, hey,
you know what I'm used to this. I work at
sports radio and I'm a huge soccer fan. Right, I'm
not going to act like everyone loves soccer.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
It's it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
You know, people always ask about like what we do
on this, like how we come up with things to
talk about. There's a couple of ways to do it.
One is we I always say. It's kind of like
a music's well sort of the music stations used to
be right or still are by the hits. You play
the hits. If like the Seahawks are Taylor Swift, Yeah
that's who they are, so you play her a lot. Yeah,

(01:29:39):
and that's what we do and that's what people want
to hear about. And whereas we as hosts can joke
about our takeaways and this, and that, I know for
a fact that people want to know what was going
on at Mini Camp.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
Yeah, check out Corvin Smith. I want today spectrum.

Speaker 1 (01:29:52):
Absolutely and people want to know that Mariners come in
right there as well. Then you've got you know, husky
football crack and whatever ever listed goes down, and yeah,
soccer goes pretty far down the low on the list.
But the World Cup is here in our country and
it's actually here in our city, and I'm looking around
and seeing the enthusiasm and excitement and so yeah, we're

(01:30:14):
gonna touch it on it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
That's what we're gonna do, and we're oting it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
We're and if you want to break down of the
games and all that, Jackson, Fifa, Fels and Andrews will
have that for you. Yeah, Jackson's on with the pregame
show night at five thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Right, yes, five thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
I also did create the podcast page for my daily
recap show. The first two episodes are out there. Fantastic
Good talked with Jackson on two days ago and then
yesterday with Danny Jackson. So two guys that both know
their stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
Let's see, let's see, Softy's gone from Jimmy's on First
to to T Mobile Park to Cheeney Stadium. He's been demoted. No,
he's not. He's on a rehab assignment.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Yes, that's exactly what.

Speaker 1 (01:30:56):
He's on, a rehab assignment.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
Two six am my best Mike McDonald impression regarding excitement
for the World Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
I do care, I do care.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Somebody said this Alexi Lawless is a Brandal Shambili of soccer.
I so disagree with that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Who's that?

Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
Brandal Shambili is on the golf channel and he's great.
Now he's on everyone. Here's the problem with BRANDIALD. Shambley.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
He says what he feels. He has a strong opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
He will be argumentative, but he's also massively knowledgeable. He'll
bring up stuff like, I mean, you know, like it's
it's like it's like, you know, four years ago, two
thousand and four PGA Championship on the seventh hole in
the third round and like what what Yeah, not even close.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
I think he's more. Stephen A.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Smith tries to kind of push buttons and say big things.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Well, yeah, and if you try that hard to do
that thing, guess what's gonna happen. It's not gonna be good. Right,
this is funny, This is a good one four two five.
My family and I don't like college football. Therefore nobody
likes college football. Yeah, that's literally that's exactly the comparison.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
Yeah, nobody likes it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
Okay, Okay, let's Senser the Lady so good.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
We got so many lines in that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
I'm pulling up the transcript now because maybe because he's
talked so fast.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
Again, great and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
Well again, who's the impression?

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Who's the impression of a little game called Rinaldo's toes?
Followed up by getting messy with messy so good.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Tony says, I don't know why anyone could be so
high on Anthony Bradford. He's spend seventy five to the
snapslast year blocking Aaron looks completely lost in the field.
The offensive line coach likes him. Yeah, I think we
all felt the same way as as our guy Tony there.
But you know what, John Benton likes him, and that's frankly,
probably all the matters.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Yeah, and it is something to be said about performing
well during mandatory mini camp against a sled versus like that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
There's listen, right, he's powerful, he's a mall or he's
he's just different than a lot of the guys.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
And he had a good second half the year for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Well, and he had a good was it super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
He was really good. I think champion Championship.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
I mean, Keeper's got a buddy that he played with.
And the guys said at the start of the year,
if Seahawks won a Super Bowl, he's gonna buy Anthony
Bradford jersey. So guess what he's bought.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
And a half.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
There might be like one in the whole city.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
That's actually hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
Yeah, it's it's Hilaire. Oh okay, let me see. Don
I think we're good for now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
I want to I want to play that for Softy.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Oh oh so good. Oh I'll read this two o six.
By the way, I think Keith Miller takes oh oh
he's gotten there. He takes Fridays off. Yeah, here we go. Uh,
this this is good. I getting uh getting to Jimmy's
on first Just park at the radio station, grab a
line bike, ride to Jimmy's way.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
We still can we do that? Well?

Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
Yeah, because she does the podcast on it. It's gone. Yeah,
well they they ended it when Sue put her on waivers.
So Sue wised up and put her on waivers. She's
just holding on for relevancy now, like the other thing
that made you made you, the other thing that made
you halfway likable?

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Is we all love Sue? Oh that's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:34:18):
Yeah, yeah, she's Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
I saw her.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
I saw someone had her interview the other day with
a World Cup here. I'm like, nobody wants to hear
from you. You don't like anything about the World Cup
that involves not you, so stop it and includes men
and women. It's like, no, especially man. Have you been
on a line bike. I've never done the line bike.
I've done a line scooter. Yeah, I don't want any
part of it. I think I think, I don't mind.
I think bad things would happen to me if I

(01:34:42):
jumped on one of those things. I don't think there's
anything good that comes out of me jumping on a
line bike and cruising down to the Gimmy's on first.
All right, take a break. Softy joined just from Cheney
Stadium where he's on a rehab assignment.
