Hey everybody, it's Brian. Before I did this Seahawks stuff full time, I worked as a manager and senior

leader, so I know how lonely it can be to try to find someone you trust to talk through people

issues, org issues, process issues as you try to lead an organization. Ryan Cleveland of

Ryan Cleveland.com is someone I trust to have those conversations with.

He specialized in working with CEOs and business owners, and you can get a complimentary free

discovery session to see if it's a good fit for you. Just go to Ryancleveland.com to sign up and start now. I'm

you can find myself and these shows all over the place, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, at Hawk Blogger.

And we've got a lot to get to tonight. And I'm super happy to have my good pals Jeff Simmons at Real Jeff Simmons and Derek

Gebby at D-E-R-Y-C-K-G underscore join in the show again. How are you guys doing tonight? Jeff,

you ready for the Blue Jays to face the Yankees or the Red Sox? Like, how are you doing, man? I was just watching the end of the game. The Yankees had a pretty close win. I don't know. I don't know who I want. The Red Sox kicked the Jay's ass in the last week of the year where they almost blew the division. The Yankees have been like the hottest team in baseball and that and they aren't hitting well but i think they're in

trouble in the last week of the year where they almost blew the division. The Yankees have been like the hottest team in baseball.

And they aren't hitting well, but I think they're in trouble regardless of who they play. Some of our Seahawks fans might get mad at me for that. But I don't think they match up particularly well. It's a little weird. We don't want to piss off some Mariners fans here, but it's a little weird. the number one seed doesn't get the

lowest seat in the playoffs if the Tigers win,

but... We don't want to piss off some Mariners fans here, but it's a little weird. The number one seed doesn't get to play the lowest seed in the playoffs if the Tigers win, but it's a little bit of an outdated sport. You know what? There's a reason for Mariners have better World Series odds than the Jays. I hear you already queuing up excuses like a good Blue Jays fan should. You guys have had your World Series. It's time to share the wealth a little bit. Joe Carter, nowhere to be seen. Let's, uh, there was just a commercial of him. He was looking really old. Oh, my God. Well, I mean, it was like that. I guess it makes sense. It's been a while. Derek, are you a baseball fan? Not a big one. I don't have root sports, so it makes it really difficult to like even follow the Mariners. Yes. So I dabble, but, no, can't. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun to have the city united in cheering for baseball postseason in a way that really hasn't happened for

you know a few decades there's going to be people that are watching this show that have never

seen the city of seattle like really i mean yes they were in the postseason a couple years ago

oh i know same not the same yes you do yes you do um so there's so much to get to before the three of us get into all of it, I want to try to help on a few bits of news that have come out and we'll talk through it.

So I asked Mike McDonald at his press conference today whether or not, first question, whether or not Darien Kendrick has earned the right to challenge for the nickel cornerback position.

You'll hear, I think, me asking the question, and then you'll hear Mike answering.

Does Darren Kendrick earn the right to compete for the nickel spot and with spoon staying outside?

Yeah. Yeah, he's, yeah, short answer.

Now, short answer, but a pretty important answer.
