**Matt Brown** (0:18)
Our number two here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network, Ready Set Bet, Matt Brown and Mike Somich. And Vin and Terry, I'm just following along. Obviously, I can't hear Mike is doing his speech, but he's doing his speech. I can't hear Mike is doing his speech up there right now. And I guess there was a Belichick and a girlfriend joke there by Vin and Terry. So yeah, I'm gonna have to go look that one up and see what he happened to say there. But people were like, oh damn, he went there. So good on Vin and Terry. Good job, buddy. Like, you know, bring a little spice to what is otherwise a fairly boring event. So yeah, let's do it. Make the jokes.

**Mike Somich** (0:56)
Yeah, I'm all for it, man. Like Belichick just about punching back. But then Terry, one of those guys that that was allowed to throw the punches, right? If you were on one of those New England teams, feels like it's free game.

**Matt Brown** (1:05)
Yeah, do it, do whatever you got to do.
But again, it's a, it's happening right now. Vin and Terry up there. And you know, again, whether you think a kicker should be in the hall of fame or not, if you are the best at anything, I mean, if you are the very best at anything, you should be recognized for that. There doesn't, there isn't a separate hall of fame. There's one hall of fame. And so with that, Vin and Terry is going to get in. And we read the stats earlier. I mean, the guy nearly kicked 600 field goals. You know, 599 field goals with all that. So Vin and Terry, definitely deserving, at least in my opinion. You know, I've never been to Canton. I've never been to Cooperstown. Where have you, have you been to the hall of fames?

**Mike Somich** (1:42)
I have been to Cooperstown and I've been to the hockey hall of fame up in Toronto as well.

**Matt Brown** (1:46)
Very cool. There's a lot of fun.

**Mike Somich** (1:47)
They're what you'd expect.

**Matt Brown** (1:48)
Yeah.

**Mike Somich** (1:48)
A lot of cool things that you can do there. A lot of fun things you can do there.
And it's a lot of just lore. I like being able to look around and check out all the different jerseys that they've got. So they've got jerseys from all of these huge games. So I think it's a blast.

**Matt Brown** (2:00)
Did you is there such thing as the horse racing hall of fame?

**Mike Somich** (2:04)
There is a horse racing hall of fame in Saratoga Springs right across right across from the racetrack. So that's an easy one to go to if you want to check it out. I have been there as well.

**Matt Brown** (2:13)
I don't know.

**Mike Somich** (2:13)
It's a lot of fun.

**Matt Brown** (2:14)
I don't believe you. I don't believe you.

**Mike Somich** (2:16)
But what do you mean?

**Matt Brown** (2:17)
Don't believe I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I mean, I guess, yeah. I mean, what do they like? Put the saddles in there or something like the silks, like it was saddles.

**Mike Somich** (2:27)
There's there's there's saddles to cloths. There's different pictures from the races, stories, placards, that kind of stuff. Right.

**Matt Brown** (2:34)
Fair, fair, fair.
Your friend and mine, Dustin Sweetilson, back back at his. I should say he never went away, but like back in his slot there for cashing out. So that comes back tomorrow. So tune in tomorrow evening, even though he doesn't even know when he when he does it, his he put out an Instagram post and like he would put the wrong time on there. I was like, Dustin, that's not the time. Buddy, come on. What's going on? But yes, does return tomorrow. So check it out. veece.com/shows for all the shows over there on the network. Mike, the Seattle Seahawks, a team that you and I, I think we're pretty early on last year, which felt good. We certainly saw the rising star there in Jackson Smith and Jigba, who now at this point is just in the conversation when we talk about the best receivers in the sport, but certainly wasn't before the season started last year. Didn't really know how that impact of, of him being the number one was going to work out, worked out pretty well for the Seattle Seahawks, obviously as they go and when the Super Bowl, that being said, you're in a division that arguably the toughest division in all of the NFL, you're going up against the team that you and I think is the rightful favorite to win the Super Bowl as well. So the Seattle Seahawks with a 10 and a half win total, you kind of got this like two to one to win the division type thing. You're getting into the double digits when you start talking about Super Bowl with all of that. What is your take here on this Seattle team as we head into the season?
