Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right here on Seattle Sports Leader ninety three to three

Speaker 2 (00:06):

Speaker 3 (00:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I know today is going to be a great day
because it's the NFL Draft. This is this to me,
and I'm gonna go you one further and I say
some things on here, but I mean everything I say,
and I say everything I mean.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
This is one of the.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Best sport days of the year. And I will tell
you you're gonna be shocked. You might not be shocked,
maybe you will. NFL Draft today and tomorrow is better
than Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Let me repeat myself.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
The NFL Draft Night one in Night two is better
than Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
It just is.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And you're like, well, what do you mean, what do
you mean it's better than Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, I'll tell you what I mean. Super Bowl Sunday
is about.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Pomp and circumstance, Red carpet, who's performing at halftime, Kendrick
lamar Oh, who's Taylor Swift gonna be with at the game.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's all those things, But.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's not about the real fans. That's what the NFL
Draft is. It's about the real fans. So I don't
like something that turns into just a social event where
the game becomes secondary like Super Bowl Sunday, today, tonight, tomorrow,

(02:16):
and tomorrow night, and certainly on Saturday. It's about the
real fans. And that's what I care about the most,
the real fans. And I saw a lot of real
fans at queen An Beer Holly yesterday for the Mahler
and Millen mock Draft, and it was great to be
out there. Listen, hm, I I listen. We all work

(02:42):
extremely hard to be in this position, whether.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
You're a a host or producer or program director, whatever, and.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Softy is a force of nature.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
And I watched him yesterday and just kind of absorbed
like a sponge man. He works so hard, he works
his freaking ass off, and Dick does as well, and
Hugh and I'm just watching soft yesterday. He's he's It's
like he didn't stop yesterday from the moment I got there.

(03:24):
Even when they went to commercial, Softie was he was hosting.
He was, you know, entertaining, and it's it's a lot.
It is definitely a lot. So you know, it's funny.
I gotta read one text from the text line because
I'm gonna do this because there's always one male Karen,

(03:46):
there's always a Chad.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
My listening choice.

because I grew up there. Okay, there's a couple good
shows there, but the show that's on right now is
not good.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
So if you want to do that, go do that.
Just so you know.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I love this. I love these chads. You're all so transparent.
Do you understand that you really are? I let me
just repeat this again. If I'm watching TNT, if I'm
watching HBO, if I'm watching Showtime, do you think I'm
gonna email the president? David Zaslov of Warner Brothers Discovery.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't like your programming last night. I'm not gonna
watch anymore. It's like, yes, you're listening.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
We know you are, but I gave your little fifteen
seconds of attention.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
There you go, There you go. You happy.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now go listen to Wfan and listen to Bud, listen
to them take phone calls for three straight hours, and
tell me that's great radio.

Speaker 3 (05:13):

Speaker 2 (05:29):

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh oh that is Marconi Award winning radio there.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Believe me, sweetheart. I grew up up there.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I got WFA in like it was broadcast in my backyard,
and back then it was great. And they still have
some great shows, not the one that's on right now.
But you do that, Karen, You do that, Chad, go
go listen to WFAN. You freaking Karen. Oh my god,
you're so pathetic, you really are.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't know why. I just had to just do that.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I you know what, It's probably better sometimes, kid, Christopher,
kid that maybe I don't you know sometimes because I
love the text line because it's the initial sort of
like feedback. But there's always he's that guy who wants
it to.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Ooh, I'm out. I'll see you had three with Softy
and dicker On.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's like these people, it's you're just so is your
life that miserable and so pathetic that you have to
text in every day And by the way, I've got
I keep track of the d bag Texters and you're
the same guy every single day.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I feel sorry for you. I really do.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Oh You're not like the people that I met yesterday.
The great listeners of KJR at Queen Ann Beer Hall
and love the smash Burger out there, love everything, and
you're not like them, the real fans and the people
who got to show up and I and I know,
unlike the guy who text in every day at the
same time.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
You know, like I know you.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
You're probably not employed right now, so that's why you
you have so much time to text in all the time.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So there's that.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
But I just thought i'd expose that male Karen Chad
like I do every day. Chris, It's unbelievable, isn't it.
Isn't it really unbelievable. You'll be all right, Mark, No, No,
I'll be fine. But it's it's like, is your life
that pointless and empty that you have to text in
every single day with the same ef in text you
have to tell us that you're gonna change the channel.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
That change, go ahead and do it. Go to WFA
N I d I d gaff I d gaff You
know what that means? I mean, my lord, bro, Like
it's just man, what a Karen? Oh my lord.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
They told me when I came to the West Coast
to like be careful of the Karens.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
And I see it. I see it.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's the same guy every day. It truly is. It's
just so funny. But anyway, as I digress, let's get
back in the real thing. It was a great event yesterday,
the mal Or Millen Mock Draft, and it was fun
to be out there and just see everybody.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I actually did something I never do. Chris, I had water.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Well, I drink water a lot, but there was a
beer and they were giving him out to everybody, which
was awesome. Soft he was, you know, paying for the
whole house a launcher. I did you know what the
beer was amazing. I don't know what it was, but
I just like, I was really thirsty, and I said.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Well, you made it home safe, so that's good. You
had one. Oh yeah, one.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It was a smile. It wasn't that big one, No,
it was I'm full of Vergin in that category. I
you never had a beer. I never had any alcoholic beverage.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Good for you, dude. That is tremendous will power and
self discipline.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
On your power to Washington State University. Some don't believe
I made it through three man, but I believe you
d mountaintop and banged my chest like I was King
Kong out there.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
That is good for you. Man, that is awesome. Man. See,
here's the thing for.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Me, Me and my friends, we got into some ish
when we were in high school. And I got all
that out of my system in high school. So when
I got to college and everybody was having their declaration
of independence, so to speak, and they're away from their
parents and they they're going, you know, like guys and
girls gone wild, I'm like, you know, what, been.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
There done that? It didn't and I don't I'm not
a beard erit.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
But that beer I had yesterday Queen Anne Beer Hall Life, well, no,
it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
It was great, and it was fun and the event and.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I was wondering why some guys showed up in a
suit and he had Jacksonville Jaguars stickers, and then it
hit me like, oh, he was imitating the new coach,
Liam Cohen who did the duvall. So it was good.
I met Chris and Burien. Chris, good to meet you.
It's good to all the Hey, listen, all the people
I met at Queen Beer Hall, I'm gonna give you

(10:01):
all this yesterday, all even the ones I didn't meet.
None of you are male. Karens like this dbag who
texts in every day. You're not male, Karens. You're not Chad's,
so thank you for that. This is draft day and
I want to do this and I want to ask
you and I want you to use.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
The voice text today.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Go to ninety three to three, well, actually to the
new improved iHeartRadio app and ninety three to three KJR.
Hit the microphone icon button. I want a couple things.
Who do you want tonight with the eighteenth pick? Give
me who you want? Or and or who's the biggest

(10:43):
bust in Seattle Seahawks draft history? Give that to me
as well. And we're gonna role play a little bit.
I want to role play with you. And here's the
roleplay I want to do with you. I've done this
in previous markets and it's always now. Back then in
the Northeast and South, you know, it was very phone

(11:05):
call driven, and this is a way for us to
hear you without getting the I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Guy.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
We would always do like, hey, let's role play.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
And you be a former high pick in the NFL
draft bus you say like, hey, hey, it's Johnny Manziel.
Hold on a second, just snorting another line of coke. Yeah,
just just kind of going crazy here. I know my
career was bad or I'll get hey, what's up, JaMarcus Russell.

(11:38):
Hold on a second, what would you like? Would you
like to supersize that prize? Let's role play a little bit.
Let's role play on the text line, the voice text line. Okay,
role play. It doesn't have to be just a Seattle
Seahawks draft bust. Like you can give me your biggest
Seattle Seahawks draft bus, but just role play and give
me just kind of role play with us a little

(11:59):
bit and say you're Tim Couch or Achille Smith.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, the list goes on and on and on.
We can go way back.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
So I was talking to Hugh and Purple Sheet before
the show, and I was like, biggest bust in Seahawks
draft history, so you have to go with the highest pick.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Now. The first guy who came to mind is Rick Meyer.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now I know Rick Meyer won Rookie of the Year,
but then after that he was a complete bust. It
was like Michael Carter Williams who won the Rookie of
the Year in the NBA and now he's a boxer,
So he ended up being a bust after that.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Initially for one year, Rick Meyer was good and then
he was horrible. So I want, you know, come up
with some just some of Justin Blackman, Oklahoma State Jacksonville
Jaguars got arrested the other day. Just I want NFL
draft bus role play with me, role play. It'll be fun.

(12:57):
Go to the Neon improved iHeartRadio app and ninety three
to three kJ R f M and hit the microphone
icon button and we'll have some fun with that. Oh,
by the way, coming up, we will have mister Roberts
uh first name again, Ryan, Ryan Roberts double R who

(13:17):
joined us before. He will join us from CBS UH
and he's a draft analyst the.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Athletic Yes, I'll pull up the end of one.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
But he was really good. I forgot who he works for,
but he's really good regardless. We had him on before
and he's he was. He's fantastic. So we'll be joined
by him.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
A to Z Sports NFL A to Z Sports.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
He's a great draft analyst and we will talk. Oh yeah,
he's from the East. He was from Philly, that area,
like the northeast coast. I wrote, Yeah, that's right. He
was really good.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
East Hampton, New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
That's okay, no, but but like he's from the northeast,
so yeah, I remember him.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
He came on.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
He knows his stuff. He's not a guy he could
tell he watches college football. Coming up later today on
the Mayor Ian Ferness's show, Earl Thomas will be on,
and I don't think he's been on Seattle Airwaves radio
in a long time, like seven years. So Earl Thomas
and a very special guest will also join Ian Ferness

(14:18):
coming up, so you're gonna want to stay tuned for that.
He'll be live at Virginia Mason Athletics Center and renting.
I'll be out there after the show. So looking forward
to that great event yesterday. So kudos to everyone involved,
Softy Dick Hugh, all the fine folks there, and especially

(14:38):
the fine folks at Queenie and Beer Hall. Boy, that
place is cool. I love I love places that have
high ceilings. You can tell that place. When I walked
in there yesterday, I'm like, oh yeah, and people like
and it kind of hit me. I'm like, is this
where people used to go to before Sonics games? They're like, yep,
this is it. I didn't get a chance to try
their Seattle dog because we got b said yesterday and

(15:00):
then they gave a smash Burger and I was full,
So my tank was full at that point. But that
was pretty cool yesterday. And who do you want tonight
for me? If he's there, I want Colston Loveland at eighteen.
I want him. I think that it now. I don't
think he's gonna be there. I don't. I don't think

(15:23):
he or Tyler Warren will be there. But if they are,
you know what scares me the most. I'm gonna be
up there.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Probably you're standing up on your arms yet.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
No, but you know, you know it's gonna you know,
it's gonna make me really mad. Let's just say Colston
Lovelin's on the board and I'm there in renting.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
And with the eighteen pick in the.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Tedoroa McMillan,
wide receiver Arizona.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh. That would drive me to say, gentlemen, yeah you're
here tomorrow. Oh I meant tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, he's just
don't pray we we're gonna be here tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I mean, oh no, no, no, listen, Hugh is not wrong, Hugh,
and I we you need that one. I don't know
if Jays ends one, and we know his specialty is
in the slot, and which is where Cooper cup is
becoming all pro in the slot.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
You need one.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
But there's nobody in this draft at one worth taking.
And Les Travis Hunter dropped to eighteen and you got
about as much chance as that happening as Oh, I
don't know Jimmy Butler being a parade thrown for him
in Miami. That ain't happening, Okay, So let's just stop

(16:47):
that there. Colston Lovelin, I'm all, I'm all, oh, I
can't wait for that. And I'm probably gonna have to
really maybe have a separate room tonight when my guy
from the U cam ord is selected number one overall.
I might be very emotional when that happens. It's gonna
be a great moment the Canes. We haven't had the

(17:09):
number one overall pick since Russell Maryland. Hugh Millen got
that in nineteen ninety one. But biggest buss in Seattle
Seahawks draft history. One of the ones that came to
mind was Aaron Curry on a Wake Forest total bust.
Major Bye and we're talking high draft picks. We're not
talking anything below the third round. We want like at

(17:34):
least first or high second round draft picks. So that's
what we're looking at here. And Aaron Curry was But
for me, I think a Rick Meyer. That's the guy
that comes to mind when I think of the Seahawks
draft history.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Rick Meyer.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Now you could you know Dwayne well, Dwayne asked Ridge. Yeah,
he wasn't even a first round pick. How about this one?
Jordan Brooks?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Was that? Nah? Jordan Brooks was fine? Yeah, you think
the first round twenty seven overall, he's fine. All right,
all right, didn't get him. They didn't get him, a masking,
they don't get him number nine. Yeah, all right, all right,
I'll tell you fine.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
I'll tell you this one. Rashad Penny. Hey, they traded
up to get him at twenty seven that year. If
I'm not mistake, they yeah, yeah, they were right. You're right, Chris,
so they did. By the way, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
In the future, don't draft any players from San Diego
State in the first round. Dan maguire back in way
back in nineteen ninety one, was the reason you were
taking Rick Meyer to number two overall nineteen ninety three.
No more players from San Diego State in the first round.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Can we just do that? Can we can we stop that? No?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
No more on that one? All right, so uh yeah,
let's not let's not do that. Let's just kind of
so there's a lot of things that we're going to
get to. And yes, please voice text today new and
improved iHeartRadio app. Look for the microphone icon on the
ninety three to three KJR leave your voice text. Biggest
bust in Seattle Seahawks draft history. Oh, if you want

(19:13):
to role play and say, hey, I'm Andre Ware.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I don't know why his name came to mind, but
it came to mind.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
If I'm Josh Rosen, you know, whatever you want to do,
please do that. Coming up next, Seattle Seahawks. Key to
a successful NFL Draft is about more than the O line.
Find out what that is next on MJ in the
midday ninety three to three KJR FM.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Well, first of all, I've earned my Dick's card. Because
you should know this because because being in in the
fraternity at the University of Washington, I was a Fiji.
But there's some a lot of other great fraternities and
you should know this as a as a seattleite that
if you go back just not long ago, the Seattle
business area was really really dominated by University of Washington

(20:02):
graduates almost all from the fraternities, right, and like eighty
five percent of the donating some universities that that frats
are just you know, just a bunch of meat meat
as it's like in Inlanta where Georgia uga, it's all
UGA for the most part. Yea, yeah, yeah, so not
some campuses just is just you know, just a bit

(20:23):
you know, Keke stands sure. But but I think at
the University of Washing, I'm biased, but I could objectively state,
you know, like whether it's the North Stims or all
betas and you know, and I mean you could, you know,
run Crockett on the racetrack like like a heck of
a lot of really prominent guys. So what's the story
with Dix. You go on forty fifth, you just go

(20:45):
west and there's a wall in for Dix there that
University of Washington. There's no drive through like you got
throughout the year, whether it's raining or whatever. You you
got to get out and stand. And so I think
I think what Dix is to me, you can't really
talk about this unless you talk about the price, because
anybody who says that Dicks are In and Out Burger

(21:05):
is the best burger they've ever had in their life,
you haven't lived enough. Like right right, Like there's a
the Bozeman has a a Western bar, they have a hammerger.
The patties are a full pound. Hey, like their that
smash burgers at queen An Beer Hall were phenomenal yesterday. Yeah,
But but Dix was they we're taking we're taking McDonald's

(21:28):
like they're not supposed to be. They're just a lot better,
Like that's their competition. And even now the Deluxe is
four bucks. The in and Out Double is almost six bucks,
so it's almost fifty percent more. So these assembly line
deals like taste.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Better the double double with with animal spread and no
no animal style with extra spread or Dick's Deluxe, what's better?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Honest to god, I'm going with the Dicks. You just
set off the air in and Out thaughty? I said, no, no, no, no, listen,
I said the patty said on the air, the patty.
I think the patty the quality of the meat is
a little better at In and Out again they're fifty
percent more. So if that sways you, but I think
that I'll just say this, De gustabus nnis dispotando. That's

(22:13):
Latin for in matters of taste, there is no dispute.
And the reason. Look, I'm not like that. I didn't
study Latin. I'd studied three years of Spanish. I probably
butchered the pronunciation. But one thing I like about Latin
sayings is if our ancestors from three thousand years ago
were thinking about it and then talking about it, it

(22:34):
probably means that it's an element of wisdom that isn't
just essential to our it's not temporal, it's not just us.
They were thinking the same stuff three thousand years ago.
So guess what three thousand years ago they were arguing
about the best food and the best music and the
best wine and right, and somebody came out with that
and it's been wisdom. So it's really kind of silly

(22:55):
to talk like, if you love in and out it's
a damn good burger, it's a damn good burger. I
think it's that if you like Dix a little bit more,
if you like in and out right a little bit more,
that's true. It's it's all a matter of personal preference.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Okay, fairness, Here we are Draft Night, Draft Knight, Tonight
eighteen picky, if perfect worlds, If Loveland's there, is he
the pick?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Do you think he should be the pick? If Loveland's there,
I would be thrilled if they got him. Okay, I
think that he's a better tight end than any lineman
would be uh uh for them and all. I like
Kelvin Banks, so i'd be coo good with that. Do
you like him better than Tyler Booker?

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, because I would put him at guard. Think about
Tyler Booker. I love he checks every box. I'm gonna
just say this real quick. Tyler uh Booker checks every
single boss I've dug on his temperament that everything, everything's great.
He just is a little bit sluggish. His feet are
just a little heavy. And to be to be in

(23:59):
the middle of the first round and to have a
heavy because at some point you're gonna have to get
up to the second level with the linebackers, and those
dudes are always better athletes than you, Okay, and you're
stronger than every single one of them. You can you
can mack these guys. If In a close setting, right,
you know, but in space you're gonna lose and uh,

(24:22):
and so you want to have a lineman have a
little bit of agility. I'm worried about his agility.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
So here's what the Seahawks said for going into the draft.
John Schneider quote, we like where we're at. We can
just go pick darn good football players now. During a
radio appearance in February, he you know, obviously talking about
focusing on the O and D lines. What's important. That's

(24:48):
what's important. Schneider said. If that's not going well, nothing
else is going well. So my question is, let's let's
just say that Loveland's there, and Banks is there, and
Booker is there, rat Ledge will be there. All these
guys are there. Do they go best player over biggest need?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I think you take the best player from among the
positions that you need. I like that. I say that again, Hugh,
you take the best player available from within the positions
that you need, and you need a tight end.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, okay. By the way, I love your take on
a fan. Well what a you just buried him. It's great,
Oh well, you buried him. Wor Paul Hayman buried Pat McAfee.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I thought you were gonna You're gonna go to Snyder's
comment about the lazy it's a lazy analysis about the
offensive line. Right, he did say that. He did that.
That chased me a little bit because then I'm part
of the guys.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Here quote quote it's also a little bit of a
lazy narrative because every team is looking for offensive linemen
and quote.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't like his logic. I don't either. I don't
like that. Well, I like Josh. I do you know
I bristled a teeny bit because I'm part of I'm
I'm part of the lazy group because you no, no, no.
In his mind is if if he's criticized, if he
says that critics of his offensive line, uh uh, maintenance,

(26:24):
it is lazy. Well, I've been among those that have
been critical, as you have, and anybody who's who has
any sensibilities has been critical. Because but but but but
here's the you know what you're gonna say is so true.
But here's the thing. It's not lazy if it continues
to be true. Well, right, but but he the segues

(26:46):
that he had his his his argument structure broke down
because he was saying it's lazy to criticize the Seahawks
because everybody has a problem with the line. Okay, so
that that point can be true, but there's not a
connection to he doesn't understand that. The point is Okay,
Let's say you got a Trigg class in high school. Okay,

(27:10):
and you and and and for years, the teachers just said, hey,
ninety percent, you get an A. Let's just use round
number eighty percent, you get a B seventy pernce can
see blah blah blah, blah blah. And then and then
it comes through and then they say, well, this trug
Trig must be really hard because nobody's overnight. Nobody got
an A. You know, everybody's got season b's and d's. Okay, Well,

(27:30):
that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about grading
on a curve. And when you grade the Seahawks performance
on a curve, it's a it's an you're taking the l.
In fifteen years, they have the PFF's lowest rank five
point one.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Hey, By the way, I pay attention, take notes, Professor
miller I do, and Professor Millan I take. I take notes,
and I I I absorb what you say, like a
sponge because you do. Like you said, I love another
thing you said yesterday. Fact based arguments, Yeah, there's nothing
that can overcome the truth. That's the truth. Those are

(28:11):
just numbers.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, if fact two things can overcome a fact based argument,
what either that the facts you're presenting are not relevant
or there are other facts that are more important that
supersede your facts that you brought. But so, what I'm
presenting to you is the PFF rankings. And again PFF
subscribed to by all the NFL teams and college coaches.

(28:34):
I know, say, hey, all the colleges. So they're pretty good.
So if you're dead last over fifteen years and over
the last four years, say well fifteen years, that's a
long time. Last four years, you're second to last. You're
thirty first in the NFL in offensive line grading. Then
now my counter to John Schneider would be you're talking

(28:55):
about the difficulty and that every team like you get together,
all you thirty two gs, you go on a golf
trip or a fishing trip. And you also say it
doesn't suck. It's hard to get lineman. Yeah it is.
We can grant that. We'll stipulate that point. You're still
gonna get graded on the curve because you still have
to line up five offensive linemen every single Sunday. They
got to be in the lineup. So you are graded

(29:17):
on the curve. If you want to say, nobody gets
an a like my trigger analogy. Fine, but you're still
being graded on the curve, dude, and you're losing this
and like you said, so tell me how that's a
lazy narrative, a lazy critique. Yes, offensive line, it's tough
to find those guys because guess what, guy, there's there's

(29:38):
more and more outdoor carters, you know, like just like freaks, yep,
Ryles Garrett exactly, there's You want me to give you
an essay of why it's hard to play offensive line?
I love Schleith, you know Mark Schleith, my former team SLA.
Yeah yeah, uh, a former teammate with the Broncos. He says,

(29:59):
you know it's he used the term skill positions, running backs, quarterbacks, receivers.
He's you don't think it takes skill to block Aaron Donald?
What are you talking about? And I agree with Mark,
it's hard, but you're still GMS. Every club is going
to be graded on the curve. It makes you agree.

(30:21):
I do agree, and I like what you said about tonight.
You want the best position. You want the best player
at your biggest need. Right from among the positions that
you have need, well, the best player, I think tight
end is right up there. Yeah. Well you know, look
most most positions, there's a need for the c X
right now. Yeah, you know. So that's what it comes

(30:42):
down to.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Uh, you're gonna be out at the Virginia Mason Athletic
Center and you're gonna be on with soft.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
T yep and then and then Ian too cool. I'll
be out there, come on out my first time. I'm
gonna be out there. It's like the first quarter of
the Super Bowl. So do they serve peanut butter and
jelly sandwich? Is there? Yeah? Oh last year they didn't
have the nuts and the peanut butter. Oh no, I don't.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
I don't like nuts, I know, not for me, No
nuts for me, just on that's true. Do they do
they have any other types of They have great food
out there. Unbelievable that spread. Oh no, no, they've got no.
This is this is the National Football League. Okay, you're
gonna go. There's a point. Yeah, there's a spot over

(31:24):
here for the peanut butter and jelly. They're gonna give
you a gourmmet crab cakes and prime rib that they're
gonna cut right in front of it.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Like no, but by the way, my job is sh no, no,
I can't wait to be there. No, you're gonna feel
You're gonna feel like you're at the met Oh no, nuts,
yeah no, they they have a great chef team.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Well, all I'll say is this dis draft really, because
now Schneider has completely revamped. He got he got rid
of Carrol, he got the blame. Schneider had the power
in it, vetoed Pete Carroll. He's no longer here. He's
got his guy in here, Mike McDonald. Then he changes
the quarterback, gets rid of the star receiver and a

(32:07):
guy who was here for a decade that only missed
one game, Tyler Lockett. And by the way, I'm not
questioning anything, but now this draft is paramount for the
Seattle Synos.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It is huge.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, it is big time. So we've got to and
do you agree with me? I said one thing and
get less than thirty seconds. NFL draft is a bet
is better. Night one and Night two is better than
Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Depends on how you feel about the teams.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
No, because it's for real fans. The NFL draft everybody today,
you even freaking Jags fans like.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Oh we get the fifth pick. Fantastic, right, Yeah, Like you.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Know super Bowl say, oh man, you know, let's watch
the commercials.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Get that.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
But if your team is in the super Bowl, that's cool.
But I would just say for an average super Bowl
not involving your team, I think the first quarter there's
this juice, like, man, we're in the super Bowl. We've
been talking about for weeks. Yeah, you know you got
the same thing going here? All right, all right, Hu.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Mail in QB one always pleasure and we'll see out
there Renton. I'll be looking forward to that fine food
there at Renton later today the Virginia Makeson Athletics Center.
I've never said the four letter acronym. I've not done that.
I got schooled as soon as I came here. He said,
don't say yes, so I didn't. I say the full
for words. Looking forward to being out there. You'll be

(33:29):
out there. Earl Thomas will be on with the Mayor
of Maple Valley and a special guest that I don't
even know about that. The mayor is keeping secret. So

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Christopher kid Mark James right here on MJ in the midday,
ninety three to three kJ r F M all right,
hitting all field stakes, he gets it, Hugh Millin one, okay,

(34:27):
just one, you take the one you want to do.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
Let's do the Jackson Dart with John Gruden, as John
wants to hear. Okay, what the snap count is like
for Jackson dart where everyone knows where he played? It
was a simple offense, miss yeap, just go out there
and do this. So all right, I'll let John Gruden
take it from here. But it's I think it's funny MJ.
Would you think of it when you first saw it?

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I everything Gruden does amuses me, So I'm I'm easily
amused by when did you ever see the things on
social media? When he gets ah, he gets a care
package from L s U and he opens up.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
He goes, LSU, you're the Paul Steins, You're a Leonard Fournette.
You heard him like, he just goes you heard Justin Jefferson, Jamar, Chase,
Joe Burrow, Joey Burrow.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I just find him. Oh, I just find him. Amuse.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I love Chucky. Let's hear what Chucky and Jackson Dart
could be. I think we'll be picked tonight from all
miss stand up.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
Let me see your snap count. Let me let me
be honest with me, because I see at USC, I
see I see this guy. Yeah go ahead, ready, yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
Quick second here I forgot one thing he does drop
a swear word, so let me edit.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh oh, how bad of a swear? Ways about it? One? Okay? Purple?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Sheetry outside the office, so we risk now, No, no,
we don't want to do that. But I love Chucky.
When he gets these gift boxes in, he gets a
he got one in from Stetson. He's like, Stetson, you
heard of Jacob deGrom two time? Cy Young Award Winner
and he just goes through and he just like the
funniest thing when he got the LSU gift box, Like

(36:04):
on the air, he puts the LSU baseball helmet on
and it comes in the room and he's just funny.
And I think Gruden needs to be a little self
deprecating considering that he sort of got canceled, and I
think he's kind of I think that the world is
warming up to him.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
He didn't commit any crimes.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
I'm not saying what he said was Believe me, that
was reprehensible enough, but like, let's not I mean, like
Tom Brenneman said something like as bad, if not worse
than John Gruden on Live on the air. Okay, he said,
that's the bleep capital of the world. And Tom Brennanman
is back doing play by play announcing. So are we

(36:45):
going to when somebody does something and it's bad.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Are we going to cancel them forever?

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Because to me, it's like, you know, there's only been
one perfect person in the history of humanity, and it
wasn't me, and it's not you, Chris no offense, it's
someone who died for all of us, right, and you know,
like do we are we really really going to do that?
So for me, nah, I'm all about like second chance.
All right, here we go, dart Ingruden.
