Chuck & Buck 1-8 Hour 4: The real issue... Mike Sando and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

0:15
Speaker 1: Byright nine o'clock hour here on this Thursday bye week Thursday,
0:20
Speaker 1: Mike Sandal is gonna be joining us at nine to
0:22
Speaker 1: thirty this morning. We're gonna lean into our NFL insider
0:26
Speaker 1: for this segment. He knows he knows a lot about football.
0:30
Speaker 1: I guess he's gonna join us at nine to thirty
0:32
Speaker 1: talk about the schedule for this weekend and probably ask
0:35
Speaker 1: him to see our question or two. So Mike Sando
0:37
Speaker 1: from the Athletic joins us today as he does every
0:40
Speaker 1: Thursday at nine thirty. We also have one last thing
0:43
Speaker 1: before the close of the show today, and yes, we
0:48
Speaker 1: do have another huge topic. We're just coming off of
0:50
Speaker 1: an hour of twelfth Man Roundtable with Greg and Hugh. Greg,
0:54
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some specialty shows here over the next
0:56
Speaker 1: couple of weeks that we're gonna splash out there for
0:58
Speaker 1: the playoffs.
0:59
Speaker 2: I like specialty shows. You, I really do like specialty shows. Yeah,
1:02
Speaker 2: dive into some stuff, get in depth. Yeah sure, Greg
1:05
Speaker 2: will be chomping at the bit to kind of bring
1:08
Speaker 2: it a show onto the air here.
1:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we should do more specialty shows. Who's
1:13
Speaker 1: for more special.
1:14
Speaker 3: I think every show of ours is specialty.
1:16
Speaker 1: If you had a specialty, Bucky, that wasn't sports related
1:20
Speaker 1: at all, and you had to do a show, you
1:22
Speaker 1: had to talk.
1:22
Speaker 4: About it for an hour, what would it be? What
1:25
Speaker 4: would the topic be?
1:26
Speaker 1: You would consider your specialty.
1:30
Speaker 2: Outdoor stuff, outdoor stuff, fishing and oh is that sports?
1:35
Speaker 4: Driving a tractor?
1:36
Speaker 1: Do you have a ruling on that?
1:38
Speaker 4: Driving a tractor?
1:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, driving the tractors, excavating, moving jacobs, moving dirt, spread
1:47
Speaker 5: and gravel, wearing overalls, getting dirty farmer buck.
1:52
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm not gonna lie.
1:54
Speaker 2: There's times I'm at home and I'll be doing something
1:56
Speaker 2: and then I get like oil on my hands, and
1:58
Speaker 2: I just love when I just wipe it right on
2:00
Speaker 2: my pants.
2:04
Speaker 1: The type of stuff that would come up on your
2:06
Speaker 1: specialty show. All right, yeah, now I really want to
2:09
Speaker 1: hear it.
2:10
Speaker 6: Uh.
2:10
Speaker 1: Well, we've got another big topic going on all week long.
2:14
Speaker 1: And uh and I'm not so sure we can get
2:15
Speaker 1: a far away, too far away from the Seahawks at
2:18
Speaker 1: any given point, too far from the NFL playoffs at
2:21
Speaker 1: any given point, and too far away from this demand
2:23
Speaker 1: Williams Junior topic. As a matter of fact, it has
2:26
Speaker 1: become so big and just specifically talking about how it's
2:30
Speaker 1: affecting college football, and then you dub and so forth
2:34
Speaker 1: and so on that I was planning on doing something
2:37
Speaker 1: all week long, and that was I came across this
2:40
Speaker 1: piece of audio from Tom Brady on the Jewel Clatt Show,
2:44
Speaker 1: and I thought it was very fascinating subject matter considering
2:48
Speaker 1: the climate of college football right now. And just to
2:51
Speaker 1: give you a little backdrop, when Tom Brady was at Michigan,
2:55
Speaker 1: if you're not aware of this, it wasn't like he
2:57
Speaker 1: was a surefire starter there either. I mean, everybody knows
3:01
Speaker 1: the story about seventh round draft pick and scrawny at
3:04
Speaker 1: the combine and slowest guy they'd ever recorded, and everybody
3:08
Speaker 1: knows all of that.
3:09
Speaker 3: Was a light in the world on fire.
3:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, and ends up in New England, got his chance
3:13
Speaker 1: when Drew Bledsoe went down and in the rest is history.
3:18
Speaker 1: But people might have forgotten when he was at Michigan,
3:21
Speaker 1: he wasn't exactly handed the job either. There was a
3:24
Speaker 1: player by the name of Drew Henson who was this
3:27
Speaker 1: two sport superstar. He was going to be a major
3:31
Speaker 1: league superstar or he was going to be an NFL
3:34
Speaker 1: superstar quarterback. And so Tom Brady ends up at Michigan
3:38
Speaker 1: at the exact same time as Drew Henson, and all
3:42
Speaker 1: Drew Henson's job was trying to figure out while he
3:44
Speaker 1: was at Michigan, do I want to be a football
3:47
Speaker 1: player a baseball player? Ended up really not being successful
3:51
Speaker 1: at either.
3:52
Speaker 4: Played against him. Wasn't that good?
3:54
Speaker 6: But he was.
3:55
Speaker 3: He had great Muppet characters, Yes.
3:58
Speaker 4: Really good.
3:58
Speaker 1: Oh Man, his Kermit voice. I mean, it's just the
4:01
Speaker 1: stuff of legend.
4:02
Speaker 3: What Henson's are made of.
4:03
Speaker 1: Anyway, So Drew Henson's trying to make the rainbow connection.
4:11
Speaker 1: But he's there at Michigan, and so he's the star.
4:14
Speaker 1: He's the star on campus, and people were actually angry
4:18
Speaker 1: that how would you even consider this Tom Brady because
4:22
Speaker 1: they'd heard so much about Drew Henson. He was supposed
4:24
Speaker 1: to walk on water, lean tall buildings in a single bound,
4:27
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And so Tom Brady ended up
4:32
Speaker 1: starting more at Michigan than Drew Henson. That was his
4:35
Speaker 1: first challenge to prove himself. Probably why he got such
4:38
Speaker 1: a big chip on his shoulder, but that was the
4:40
Speaker 1: first challenge to try to prove himself, and he ended
4:43
Speaker 1: up being a very good, very successful quarterback at the
4:45
Speaker 1: college level. But Joe Klatt has him on the show
4:48
Speaker 1: the other day and he asks him a question about Well,
4:55
Speaker 1: I'll let him set it up, but it was about
4:57
Speaker 1: had you had the rules that they have today? You
5:01
Speaker 1: stuck it out at Michigan, But would you have if
5:04
Speaker 1: you had the rules you have today. Here's Joel and
5:07
Speaker 1: the specific question he asked Tom Brady.
5:09
Speaker 2: Would Tom Brady have finished his career at Michigan if
5:14
Speaker 2: the rules were the same then as they are now.
5:17
Speaker 7: It's such a hypothetical situation. The only thing I could
5:21
Speaker 7: answer is to say that, based on what my experience was,
5:24
Speaker 7: I wouldn't want it any other way. My college experience
5:30
Speaker 7: was very challenging. It was very competitive. The lessons I
5:33
Speaker 7: learned in college, certainly about competition, those traits transformed my
5:40
Speaker 7: life as a professional. I was ready to compete against
5:42
Speaker 7: anybody because the competition in college toughened me up so
5:47
Speaker 7: much that I had a self belief and self confidence
5:51
Speaker 7: in myself that whatever was I was faced, I could
5:55
Speaker 7: overcome that. And I think if we take that away
5:58
Speaker 7: from a young student athlete, to say, you know what,
6:00
Speaker 7: I know.
6:00
Speaker 1: It's tough to compete, but what are we gonna do?
6:02
Speaker 7: Before you have to compete, We're actually gonna put you
6:05
Speaker 7: somewhere else so that you don't have to compete. That
6:08
Speaker 7: is absolutely the wrong thing to do to a young child.
6:11
Speaker 7: And I would challenge all the coaches and all the parents,
6:14
Speaker 7: they're the ones that have to guide these kids. It's
6:17
Speaker 7: you can't expect a seventeen or eighteen year old to
6:20
Speaker 7: make these great decisions. They're young, they don't have life experience.
6:24
Speaker 7: It should be the parents. Be a good parent, teach
6:27
Speaker 7: your kid the right values. What's going to sustain them
6:30
Speaker 7: in their careers over a period of time, whether it's football,
6:33
Speaker 7: or whether it's business. So, whether it's teaching, or law
6:36
Speaker 7: school or medical school or a trade, whatever you want
6:39
Speaker 7: to do, you're gonna have to go through hard things
6:41
Speaker 7: in your life. You're gonna have to make tough choices.
6:44
Speaker 7: And the value isn't always about the last dollar. So
6:47
Speaker 7: I think all these things that are happening in college sports,
6:50
Speaker 7: we're prioritizing the wrong things. We're valuing the wrong things.
6:53
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying it's not important. It's one of
6:56
Speaker 7: ten things that are important. Yeah, And certainly to me,
6:58
Speaker 7: it's not the most important. Kids do go through that
7:01
Speaker 7: the right way. They're actually learning the right values. And
7:04
Speaker 7: when you have the right values in life, that's going
7:06
Speaker 7: to sustain you as you move on through the.
7:08
Speaker 8: Rest of your life.
7:10
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, this is what we used to teach, you know,
7:16
Speaker 1: this was the stop whining, get better speech that we
7:20
Speaker 1: all used to hear. How did we get to the
7:23
Speaker 1: point in twenty twenty six where oh, things are a
7:25
Speaker 1: little difficult, little challenging, Well you need to go where
7:28
Speaker 1: they're less challenging. What happened to that? Where did it go?
7:33
Speaker 1: I mean, even with nil, what happened to that? Even
7:37
Speaker 1: if you had nil? I mean, it had to have
7:41
Speaker 1: been fostered somewhere. I don't or I don't know if
7:47
Speaker 1: the message got changed, got lost, or what the case
7:52
Speaker 1: may be. But it just feels to me like nobody.
7:56
Speaker 1: We don't have a kid. We don't have a twenty
7:58
Speaker 1: year old left that wants to accept what the Goat
8:04
Speaker 1: just said about why he became successful. That is the Goat,
8:10
Speaker 1: the undisputed greatest football player of all time with seventh
8:15
Speaker 1: round physical talent. If you're not listening to him, if
8:21
Speaker 1: you're not listening to that, if we're not forget that,
8:24
Speaker 1: forget the listening. If we're not teaching that everywhere parents, coaches,
8:29
Speaker 1: If that's not the message that we're sending that, Oh
8:32
Speaker 1: wait a minute, your second on the depth chart, maybe
8:36
Speaker 1: work harder than the guy who's first in the depth chart.
8:40
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll learn better lessons that help you become a
8:44
Speaker 1: better player, a better person. And if sports doesn't work out,
8:48
Speaker 1: guess what this life out here it's all about competition too.
8:53
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't go away that girl that you
8:56
Speaker 1: want to see, you want to date, you want to marry,
8:59
Speaker 1: somebody else wants to d or two in marrier. Everything
9:02
Speaker 1: everywhere you turn is about competition. How did we get
9:05
Speaker 1: to the point, Bucky, where it's like, oh, things are challenging,
9:09
Speaker 1: Well leave and go somewhere else and then it'll be
9:13
Speaker 1: less challenging for you. That's the path that you need.
9:17
Speaker 4: I don't know.
9:18
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly when it happened, but it wasn't
9:21
Speaker 2: too terribly long ago. Probably was it was, you know,
9:25
Speaker 2: the end of our parents' generation or the beginning of
9:28
Speaker 2: our generation when it came to parenting. Where somewhere it
9:32
Speaker 2: got lost in the mix of when you're parenting your
9:37
Speaker 2: kid and you're preparing them to be good members of
9:39
Speaker 2: society where that are tough enough to handle life. Because
9:42
Speaker 2: life ain't fair. You don't always do for them what
9:47
Speaker 2: is easiest for them. You don't always conform to what
9:50
Speaker 2: they think they need. Right, Well, the teacher didn't like me, Well,
9:54
Speaker 2: it used to be like my parents would have went
9:55
Speaker 2: in and talked to the teacher and came out and said, yeah, sorry,
10:00
Speaker 2: she knows what she's talking about.
10:02
Speaker 4: Ye're nine.
10:04
Speaker 2: How about you just shut up, do what you're told
10:06
Speaker 2: and get back to work. You know, it would have
10:08
Speaker 2: been more. There was more times that those in charge,
10:11
Speaker 2: the adults, would make the child, the kid kind of
10:17
Speaker 2: pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get better, like
10:20
Speaker 2: you need to do more. And yet somewhere along the
10:23
Speaker 2: line it became a I want to protect my kid
10:26
Speaker 2: from failure. Whereas failures where you learn the most through
10:30
Speaker 2: through trying, trying and you don't succeed, Well, what do
10:35
Speaker 2: I need to change? Not trying you don't succeed. I'll
10:39
Speaker 2: just move somewhere. I'll just go somewhere else. I will
10:42
Speaker 2: just like quit that challenge and take on something else.
10:46
Speaker 1: I know I'm a lot better than my bad backup
10:49
Speaker 1: at this school, so I don't work as hard.
10:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I don't know exactly how it happened.
10:54
Speaker 2: It definitely happened in homes, and then that trickled into
10:58
Speaker 2: the same people that were teaching at homes. A lot
11:01
Speaker 2: of them were coaching or they were pushed those that
11:04
Speaker 2: didn't coach that way that coach day, you ain't getting
11:07
Speaker 2: anything given to you here. When I was coaching youth baseball,
11:10
Speaker 2: I would have a dad come in and be like,
11:12
Speaker 2: so we're thinking about you know, you offered him a
11:15
Speaker 2: spot on your team. Is he he's going to be
11:18
Speaker 2: the shortstop right, and he'll be hitting third, I would
11:20
Speaker 2: imagine third or fourth.
11:22
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see. I mean I offered.
11:24
Speaker 2: Him a spot on the team because he's athletic enough
11:26
Speaker 2: and I think he can play, and he's one of
11:28
Speaker 2: the best fourteen kids that I had at tryouts. But
11:31
Speaker 2: you're you're asking for a guarantee of where he's hitting
11:34
Speaker 2: the lineup. He doesn't have a guarantee. He's gonna have
11:37
Speaker 2: to earn it. Well, there's a whole bunch of dads like, well,
11:39
Speaker 2: that's not good. That's not going to cut it for me,
11:42
Speaker 2: except I have this coach over here, in this coach
11:44
Speaker 2: of here, that'll guarantee that because they want his four
11:47
Speaker 2: thousand dollars is what it is, and they will probably
11:50
Speaker 2: do it. And and then you just taught the parent that, yep,
11:54
Speaker 2: I get what I want when I play hardball.
11:56
Speaker 4: And then you.
11:57
Speaker 2: Taught the kid that you're not going to have to
11:59
Speaker 2: earn anything. I learn it for you through negotiations and conversations.
12:03
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have to go out and prove it.
12:05
Speaker 2: And to me, that's just the wrong thing to do,
12:07
Speaker 2: because at some point in time, every single player of
12:10
Speaker 2: a sport is going to stumble into a situation where
12:14
Speaker 2: mommy and daddy didn't get to pave it as a
12:17
Speaker 2: yellow brick road. It's a bumpy ass road. And what
12:20
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Stop and look around and cry
12:23
Speaker 2: mommy daddy helped me. No, it's not going to work
12:27
Speaker 2: like great. There's times that I've been in my professional
12:30
Speaker 2: life after baseball, and.
12:31
Speaker 4: I've been looking around like, what in the hell am
12:33
Speaker 4: I going to do?
12:34
Speaker 6: Well?
12:34
Speaker 4: I can't go cry to mom. She can't fix it.
12:37
Speaker 4: It's the real world now. So to me, it's it's
12:40
Speaker 4: a fine line as a parent. Don't get me wrong,
12:42
Speaker 4: I'm getting ready.
12:44
Speaker 2: For my kids to join sports and all this whole stuff,
12:46
Speaker 2: and I don't know how the hell I'm.
12:48
Speaker 4: Going to end.
12:48
Speaker 1: And I'm not here to say that there aren't bad
12:50
Speaker 1: teachers out there that sure don't want your kid DA
12:53
Speaker 1: or Oh, there are plenty of bad coaches out there
12:56
Speaker 1: that you don't want your kid TOD. But I'll tell
12:58
Speaker 1: you the success story from my hometown. Jason Isringhausen is
13:01
Speaker 1: the only player from my hometown that made it to
13:03
Speaker 1: the majors. And he's a Saint Louis Cardinal Hall of Famer.
13:06
Speaker 1: He had over three hundred saves in his career. He
13:08
Speaker 1: didn't make our starting rotation, and we did not have
13:11
Speaker 1: good coaching in high school. It just didn't small town.
13:15
Speaker 1: That's whoever wanted to pretty much volunteer. I think coach
13:18
Speaker 1: Seemer got like twenty five hundred dollars, A nice guy,
13:22
Speaker 1: great math teacher. Wasn't much of a baseball coach, I'll
13:26
Speaker 1: say that. And yet here's here's is he and he
13:31
Speaker 1: was a little undersized, but he had to battle to
13:36
Speaker 1: try to get into the starting rotation his entire time
13:40
Speaker 1: in high school and finally did his senior year I'm
13:43
Speaker 1: from a town of fifteen hundred people, and our only
13:46
Speaker 1: major league pitcher from my hometown took till his senior
13:50
Speaker 1: year in high school to get into and he still
13:53
Speaker 1: wasn't the ace he wont he won of the top two.
13:56
Speaker 1: It took him till his senior year to get there
13:58
Speaker 1: with bad coaching.
14:00
Speaker 4: That's exactly what mine was.
14:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and son, and then he he because he got
14:05
Speaker 1: to teach that nothing's going to be you're hitting ninth
14:08
Speaker 1: and you're playing third base because there are too many
14:10
Speaker 1: guys that are better than you ahead of you. Now
14:13
Speaker 1: he grew, his arm, got livelier, and all that stuff,
14:17
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, the work ethic that he taught to try
14:21
Speaker 1: to chase us down yep, helped pave the way to
14:25
Speaker 1: the major leagues for him where none of the rest
14:27
Speaker 1: of us made it.
14:27
Speaker 2: When his body caught up, When he all of a
14:29
Speaker 2: sudden matured and his body caught up, the work ethic
14:32
Speaker 2: didn't go away. So now you have the same physical tools,
14:36
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit more, but less than some of
14:38
Speaker 2: the guys that were probably great at that young age,
14:41
Speaker 2: but they didn't have the work ethic. So when his
14:43
Speaker 2: body caught up, the work ethic then propelled him past
14:46
Speaker 2: those that were ahead of him for his entire entire youth.
14:49
Speaker 2: That's the exact same thing that happened to me. And
14:51
Speaker 2: it's something that when my mom said, don't get better,
14:54
Speaker 2: get better, it was what I kind of wanted. A
14:56
Speaker 2: pat on the head or you know, pinch my cheek
14:58
Speaker 2: and tell me it's going to be okay, and I'll
15:00
Speaker 2: figure out a way to help you out. That is
15:02
Speaker 2: just not the way that most people parented back in
15:04
Speaker 2: the day, and now you do. And I get why
15:06
Speaker 2: you do it because you want to protect your kids,
15:08
Speaker 2: but you're really not protecting them by not letting them fail.
15:12
Speaker 2: You're not protected. You're setting them up for a bigger
15:14
Speaker 2: failure down the road. I don't want my first failure
15:17
Speaker 2: for my kid to be when he's twenty one or
15:20
Speaker 2: twenty five, because then he's not going to know how
15:22
Speaker 2: to handle it, and it's going to be a bigger
15:24
Speaker 2: failure because life is bigger. Then he's going to have
15:26
Speaker 2: failures now and next year, in the following year, and
15:30
Speaker 2: it's not going to be fun to watch, but he's
15:32
Speaker 2: going to do it.
15:32
Speaker 4: I'm not going to protect him from it, nor am
15:34
Speaker 4: I going to do with my daughter.
15:35
Speaker 6: When I was playing water polo, I was definitely not
15:37
Speaker 6: the fastest swimmer on the team, and I didn't like swimming.
15:40
Speaker 6: But then they said, oh, here's water polo and we've
15:42
Speaker 6: got this new coach. You guys should try it. I
15:44
Speaker 6: was like, this thing is hard. I can't keep my
15:45
Speaker 6: head above water. So I just worked and worked and worked,
15:48
Speaker 6: and then I was like, oh, I kind of like
15:49
Speaker 6: this sport.
15:49
Speaker 3: This is pretty fun. I'm going to try to be
15:51
Speaker 3: better at it.
15:52
Speaker 6: And I'll never forget having a conversation with my coach
15:54
Speaker 6: one day saying, Hey, do you think I could ever
15:56
Speaker 6: play whole set, which is like the position in the
15:58
Speaker 6: middle in front of the goal, in the middle of
16:00
Speaker 6: the pool. The ball goes in and out of the
16:02
Speaker 6: whole set position and you're kind of in.
16:05
Speaker 1: Charge and you're the Tom Brady of them. K Yeah, And.
16:09
Speaker 6: He looked at me and he said, not as long
16:11
Speaker 6: as Ashley Jacobs lives on Mercer Island.
16:13
Speaker 3: And I went home and I was.
16:14
Speaker 6: Like, hmm, all right, well, I guess I've got a challenge.
16:18
Speaker 6: And every night I sat there with a water pole
16:20
Speaker 6: ball in my hand. I got better so that I
16:21
Speaker 6: could be better at handling the ball, and every day
16:24
Speaker 6: I worked harder in practice, and then I was the
16:26
Speaker 6: starting hole set. And I'll never forget him telling me
16:29
Speaker 6: that I couldn't do something because somebody else. And she
16:32
Speaker 6: was a great water polo player, she's a great friend.
16:34
Speaker 6: But it turned out she was actually also really good
16:37
Speaker 6: at a different position where her speed could come into
16:39
Speaker 6: You know, you just have to take these things, and
16:42
Speaker 6: you know we've been we passed that on to Palmer
16:44
Speaker 6: all the time. You don't have You're not gonna be
16:46
Speaker 6: the fastest kid out there, but you should be the
16:48
Speaker 6: one that works the hardest. And she's already had an
16:51
Speaker 6: experience with, you know, trying o for a select team
16:53
Speaker 6: and not making it. And I told her that was
16:55
Speaker 6: the most valuable thing that ever could have happened to her,
16:57
Speaker 6: because she now has already, at this was at age nine,
17:01
Speaker 6: experience not making a team while all her friends have
17:04
Speaker 6: made the teams they've tried out for, so one day
17:06
Speaker 6: when they get to try out to a team and
17:08
Speaker 6: they don't make it, it's gonna be that much harder
17:10
Speaker 6: because they've never done it before.
17:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:12
Speaker 1: Look, and I don't want anybody to sound funny, done it.
17:14
Speaker 1: Believe me, I was ahead of all of you listening
17:17
Speaker 1: on wanting some sort of payment to players and to
17:23
Speaker 1: get to this world, and I didn't know what to
17:25
Speaker 1: expect once we got there. So I'm not sitting here
17:28
Speaker 1: saying that you can't ever transfer, or that you know
17:32
Speaker 1: the changes that changes weren't. Believe me. I've been all
17:37
Speaker 1: about making changes to college athletics to get it to
17:40
Speaker 1: a better place. But that doesn't come at the sacrifice
17:45
Speaker 1: of hill. If you've got some if you've got some
17:50
Speaker 1: investment in the process, that you just bail at the
17:55
Speaker 1: first sign of it getting difficult, or you just jump
18:00
Speaker 1: at the first opportunity to make one dollar more. Want
18:03
Speaker 1: to impress me, Desmond Williams junior transfer to Texas beat
18:09
Speaker 1: out arch manning the starting job at that ain't happening,
18:14
Speaker 1: I know, but you see why I'm exaggerating for emphasis.
18:17
Speaker 1: But just this, this entire we've turned it into just hey,
18:24
Speaker 1: if it's getting difficult, find a place that it's easier.
18:27
Speaker 1: And I don't think that has ever worked in the
18:30
Speaker 1: history of anything in making you better, tougher, grittier, and
18:36
Speaker 1: ultimately more successful.
18:37
Speaker 2: That you're right one hundred percent, And yet it sucks
18:40
Speaker 2: to say this the mark when we need to get
18:42
Speaker 2: out here, but there there is a part of it
18:45
Speaker 2: where when the entire world is playing that game, if
18:48
Speaker 2: you don't participate in it at all, you could just
18:52
Speaker 2: end up sitting on the sideline. When we're taking it
18:54
Speaker 2: down to the transfer part of college football, if you
18:57
Speaker 2: say I'm signing with you dub and I am purple
18:59
Speaker 2: Rain and tell my dying days and you sit your
19:02
Speaker 2: freshman year, you red shirt, and then the freshman next
19:05
Speaker 2: one you read shirt. If they every single year bring
19:08
Speaker 2: in somebody in front of you and you basically because
19:10
Speaker 2: of your intakes for it. You just said, I am
19:13
Speaker 2: I'm not going to leave because my commitment. My parents
19:15
Speaker 2: raised me that when I signed my letter from tent
19:17
Speaker 2: I'm a Husky. And you never get to see the
19:19
Speaker 2: playing field, but you could have went somewhere and played.
19:22
Speaker 2: Then there's a reason for it. But they get the greedy.
19:24
Speaker 4: Side of it.
19:24
Speaker 2: You got something good going and you're like, I'm just
19:27
Speaker 2: gonna go here because I get a couple extra bucks.
19:29
Speaker 4: That's wrong.
19:30
Speaker 1: I like the rules for just what you're saying. That
19:33
Speaker 1: opportunity like if I'm just continuously getting blocked I can't
19:36
Speaker 1: get to the top, and I think this is stole,
19:39
Speaker 1: this is halting my development. But when you're already want
19:44
Speaker 1: you're already clearing away the number one quarterback on the
19:47
Speaker 1: depth chart, and you're being having your ass kissed every
19:50
Speaker 1: day and you're getting millions of dollars and treated. And
19:53
Speaker 1: this is not just Demondo Lives. This is going on everywhere,
19:56
Speaker 1: and it's you still can't be happy because there might
19:59
Speaker 1: be four teen more dollars and a couch cushion and Louisiana.
20:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
20:04
Speaker 1: I mean that's pathetic. I mean that's that's not growth.
20:08
Speaker 3: Because there's there's a lot of people out there that
20:10
Speaker 3: want to just be the richest, not the best.
20:11

20:50
Speaker 1: point three kJ R f M. Good morning, man, I'm
20:54
Speaker 1: just all botching this. Good morning, Mike, Good morning. I
20:59
Speaker 1: know it could be nerve.
21:00
Speaker 8: I can to speak with an analyst of my stature.
21:04
Speaker 8: Just calm down. You know, your first week in the business.
21:07
Speaker 1: So yeah, did you ever like write down a word
21:10
Speaker 1: and you start misspelling it and then you can't get
21:13
Speaker 1: back on track with.
21:14
Speaker 4: The words every other word?
21:15
Speaker 8: Hey, hey, I used to have words are named that
21:18
Speaker 8: I would I would type it wrong every time, like
21:21
Speaker 8: you know, like I we get through if I wasn't
21:25
Speaker 8: careful about it. So yeah, I know exactly what you're
21:27
Speaker 8: talking about.
21:28
Speaker 1: I almost called him, Powell. I almost called you, coach.
21:31
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened right there.
21:32
Speaker 8: We haven't had a first round by around here in
21:34
Speaker 8: a long time, okay, So we're just kind of getting
21:36
Speaker 8: back into what it's like to be a real market.
21:39
Speaker 1: How big of an advantage do you think it is
21:41
Speaker 1: this particular year for the Seahawks to have that buy
21:44
Speaker 1: and to have home field advantage. I think it's huge.
21:49
Speaker 8: I don't know about compared to other years. I feel
21:52
Speaker 8: like it, Uh, maybe there's utter years where it we
21:54
Speaker 8: were even more advantageous if there were utter you know,
21:57
Speaker 8: really great teams. I don't feel like there's a bunch
21:59
Speaker 8: of great teams. There's a bunch of good teams in
22:01
Speaker 8: the NFC. But I think people are going to underrate
22:05
Speaker 8: how big of an advantage this is. And that's because
22:10
Speaker 8: we haven't had a real playoff game with our good
22:13
Speaker 8: Seahawk team in a long time now. They had a
22:16
Speaker 8: COVID game, but that wasn't a real good team. I
22:18
Speaker 8: just mean when they've been the number one seed here.
22:22
Speaker 8: I think it's happened three times that I can remember
22:24
Speaker 8: last twenty years, and they've gone to the super Bowl
22:26
Speaker 8: every time, and it's been a differentiating place to be.
22:31
Speaker 4: Now.
22:31
Speaker 8: I know they've had some issues at home and they've
22:34
Speaker 8: been better on the road, but I think they've had
22:37
Speaker 8: now two seasons with Mike McDonald to figure out okay,
22:41
Speaker 8: you know, is it harder to communicate whatever?
22:43
Speaker 4: On defense.
22:45
Speaker 8: I think they're just in prime position to go to
22:48
Speaker 8: the super Bowl this year with this opportunity with this defense,
22:51
Speaker 8: with this special teams, and with this offense that you know,
22:56
Speaker 8: it hasn't had a consistent identity all the way through,
22:58
Speaker 8: But I feel pretty good about it.
23:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna ask something and I think that we
23:05
Speaker 4: can go ahead.
23:06
Speaker 6: I will.
23:06
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and just personally right off the Panthers,
23:08
Speaker 2: I think, be sure they just beat the Rams, you know,
23:11
Speaker 2: a month or so ago, and so yes, it's possible
23:15
Speaker 2: that they could do it, But I don't think they're
23:16
Speaker 2: going to win that game. I think that's one team
23:19
Speaker 2: that even their ceiling isn't high enough to probably win
23:23
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I'm wondering for you, which team has
23:26
Speaker 2: the highest ceiling and the highest floor out of the
23:29
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC.
23:32
Speaker 8: Highest ceiling, highest floor, Well, I mean I think the
23:36
Speaker 8: Seahawks do. I put the seas on the top of that.
23:39
Speaker 8: I think their floor is losing by two points when
23:44
Speaker 8: their quarterback throws four interceptions against the other best.
23:47
Speaker 4: Team in the league.
23:47
Speaker 8: That's a really high floor. Okay, that's a super high floor.
23:53
Speaker 1: You know, you could argue that the Rams.
23:56
Speaker 8: Possibly have had a higher ceiling just because you know
24:01
Speaker 8: their offense has been really can be really great. I
24:05
Speaker 8: think their quarterback is probably the best quarterback of anyone
24:09
Speaker 8: in the NFC and probably maybe even in the league.
24:12
Speaker 8: I know Drake May's had a great year, but if
24:13
Speaker 8: you had to count on somebody, right, so that's probably
24:16
Speaker 8: a team that you could argue maybe has a higher ceiling.
24:19
Speaker 8: I just think that they have taken a little step
24:21
Speaker 8: back here and they have some question marks that Seattle
24:25
Speaker 8: doesn't have. So, you know, I think the the you know,
24:31
Speaker 8: the the Eagles are have potentially a high floor. I mean,
24:37
Speaker 8: they're sort of having a bad year for them and
24:39
Speaker 8: they're eleven and six. That's a pretty high floor, right,
24:42
Speaker 8: So you know, those are probably some teams there that,
24:46
Speaker 8: you know, they're all a little bit different, but I
24:49
Speaker 8: think the floor is lower for Chicago, It's very low
24:52
Speaker 8: for Carolina. Green Bay is a little bit harder to
24:56
Speaker 8: tell in San Francisco too, just because they have injuries.
24:59
Speaker 8: They have key players missing, so it's kind of hard
25:01
Speaker 8: to know.
25:01
Speaker 1: Mike Sander was with us, our NFL insider from the
25:04
Speaker 1: Athletics been joining us at this time every Thursday to
25:08
Speaker 1: talk NFL football playoffs getting started. Of course, this Saturday
25:11
Speaker 1: afternoon with the Panthers and the Rams. Of course they
25:14
Speaker 1: recede in the NFL playoffs. That's different from most leagues.
25:18
Speaker 1: They do receed in the NFL playoffs. So what would
25:21
Speaker 1: green Bay win over Chicago do to shake up the
25:26
Speaker 1: conference tournament? And do you think what kind of chance
25:30
Speaker 1: do you give them of pulling that off?
25:32
Speaker 8: I give them a good chance. Familiarity in the division.
25:35
Speaker 8: I think the Bears have played with Fire a lot
25:38
Speaker 8: this year. You know, they they've trailed in most of
25:40
Speaker 8: their games and won most of those, and that's just
25:42
Speaker 8: a hard formula. They beat the Packers, but they needed
25:45
Speaker 8: the Packers turned it over inside the five yard line.
25:47
Speaker 8: I think they was an onside kick recovery, which I
25:50
Speaker 8: was joking with my Packer fans son. Of course that'll
25:52
Speaker 8: never happen again with the Packers, but it happens all
25:54
Speaker 8: the time. But still weird things had to happen. So
25:57
Speaker 8: I think there's a decent chance. And green Bay's in
26:00
Speaker 8: the game, I believe. I think I saw that they
26:03
Speaker 8: were favored by a point and a half when I
26:04
Speaker 8: looked yesterday, So yes, I actually think that would be
26:08
Speaker 8: a I think that would be just fine with Seattle
26:11
Speaker 8: to get the number seven seed right coming yeah, yeah,
26:15
Speaker 8: you know, and also they could then play that card
26:17
Speaker 8: of hey, the Packers pushed them all over the field
26:20
Speaker 8: the last season to May they rushed for two undred
26:22
Speaker 8: yards or something. You know, it'd be give Seattle a
26:25
Speaker 8: seventh seed that they would really have something to prove against.
26:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.
26:29
Speaker 2: On the AFC side of things, is this the year
26:32
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen has to get it done with Mahomes
26:35
Speaker 2: and I guess Burrow whoever else has been in his
26:38
Speaker 2: way of getting to the big game. They got to
26:40
Speaker 2: get it done this year or is his coach going
26:41
Speaker 2: to be on the out? Well that could happen.
26:43
Speaker 8: I do think that we have some real coaching As
26:46
Speaker 8: I look at the AFC, I feel like Pittsburgh and
26:49
Speaker 8: Buffalo are two places where coach has been there a
26:52
Speaker 8: long time. They haven't really gotten you know, punched through
26:56
Speaker 8: and so a bad result, you know, without winning a
27:01
Speaker 8: playoff game this year, if they were embarrassed or something,
27:03
Speaker 8: that wouldn't surprise me if there was some kind of
27:06
Speaker 8: a change there. Not predicting it, but wouldn't be surprised
27:09
Speaker 8: by it. So I do think there's a you know,
27:13
Speaker 8: a lot of stake. I don't really feel like I
27:16
Speaker 8: feel like Josh Allen's going to be good for a
27:17
Speaker 8: really long time. And it's hard to predict a year
27:19
Speaker 8: for year when it might be a year, maybe it's
27:22
Speaker 8: this year, maybe they get it done. But I think
27:23
Speaker 8: he's going to be in championship games in the future,
27:28
Speaker 8: whether or not Sean mcnermack gets fired or whether or
27:30
Speaker 8: not they disappoint this year. I think he's too good
27:34
Speaker 8: and should be good for a long time and we'll
27:37
Speaker 8: have a better chance.
27:38
Speaker 1: Your reaction to Harball being fired, McDaniel being fired today
27:43
Speaker 1: and their next job in the NFL okay.
27:47
Speaker 8: So the Miami one's interesting because they waited a little while,
27:51
Speaker 8: and if you noticed, when John Harbob was fired, the
27:54
Speaker 8: news came out that he's not going to do interviews
27:56
Speaker 8: till next week. So that's why I wonder if any
27:58
Speaker 8: of these teams in the playoffs could open to Harbobby
28:00
Speaker 8: waiting to see that. McDaniel, to me, would be a
28:03
Speaker 8: great offensive coordinator somewhere. Philly's going to be looking for one.
28:07
Speaker 8: I think that could be very interesting for them.
28:09
Speaker 4: It would be.
28:13
Speaker 8: I don't know if if Kubik is going to get
28:15
Speaker 8: a head coaching job this year now we'll see, but
28:19
Speaker 8: he's going to be playing deep into the playoffs. And
28:22
Speaker 8: I don't know that people are looking at Seattle saying, hey,
28:27
Speaker 8: superstar offensive coordinator is the reason why they're there, right.
28:31
Speaker 8: I think they're saying, hey, this, this looks like a
28:33
Speaker 8: good fit, and he's done a nice job. I don't
28:35
Speaker 8: think he's an automatic get a job guy. I don't
28:37
Speaker 8: think he's necessarily going to go in everywhere and just
28:42
Speaker 8: wow everybody. Right, So, because personality wise he's a he's
28:48
Speaker 8: a little bit more even keeled. I don't think he's
28:51
Speaker 8: just going to go in there and be super dynamic
28:53
Speaker 8: and win it over. I think he'll get a head
28:55
Speaker 8: coaching job eventually through the same success. And so I
28:59
Speaker 8: don't know that I'm predicting for that to happen for
29:01
Speaker 8: him this year, especially with them, Like I said, I
29:03
Speaker 8: think they're going to go a super Bowl. I think
29:05
Speaker 8: they were probably gonna win the Super Bowl this year.
29:07
Speaker 8: That's how I feel about him and Will everything could
29:09
Speaker 8: be filled by them. So Mike McDaniel though, would be
29:14
Speaker 8: a great Obviously, he'd be a great replacement for Kubiek
29:18
Speaker 8: if he were to get a head coaching job. I
29:20
Speaker 8: think he'd be a great fit potentially in Philly, and
29:22
Speaker 8: it would be hilarious because Vic Fangio's there and they
29:25
Speaker 8: supposedly didn't get along in Miami. There would be more
29:28
Speaker 8: drama inside the inside the Eagles, which they seem to love.
29:33
Speaker 8: So McDaniel would be a very hot oc type of
29:37
Speaker 8: a choice. I don't think he gets a head coaching.
29:39
Speaker 4: Job right away. Agreed.
29:40
Speaker 1: All right, So if I and I know this is
29:43
Speaker 1: a nightmare for you, I mean, you'd probably rather have
29:46
Speaker 1: three bears break into your house and attack you while
29:49
Speaker 1: you're sleeping, then for me to say, you can only
29:52
Speaker 1: watch one football game this weekend. But that's what I'm
29:56
Speaker 1: going to challenge you with. You can only watch one
30:00
Speaker 1: of the games this weekend. What's the one Mike Sando chooses.
30:04
Speaker 8: I think it's really easy for me. I think the
30:06
Speaker 8: Bills Jaguars game is the most interesting game.
30:09
Speaker 4: I agree.
30:09
Speaker 8: I think it's just fascinating to see what the Jaguars
30:13
Speaker 8: are to see. I think the Bills are favored in
30:15
Speaker 8: that game, aren't they? I think I think I think
30:19
Speaker 8: I saw that. I need to double check it in
30:20
Speaker 8: front of me. Yeah, I think that's true.
30:22
Speaker 6: One.
30:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, for the I don't know for the Billy the
30:27
Speaker 8: Jars Jaguars. Yeah, so that game is so if I'm
30:31
Speaker 8: going to rank the games, you didn't ask me this,
30:33
Speaker 8: but let's rank again. Bills Jaguars are number one for
30:36
Speaker 8: me to watch. Number two is Packers Bears because of
30:40
Speaker 8: the tradition, the stakes. They're talking about, the floor's contract.
30:43
Speaker 8: There's something going on there, isn't there. I mean, that's
30:46
Speaker 8: interesting to me. Then I'm gonna say it is the
30:51
Speaker 8: forty nine Ers Eagles just hey, there's drama around the Eagles.
30:54
Speaker 8: The forty nine Ers are a house money team. They're
30:56
Speaker 8: kind of hey, could they go and do it? I
30:59
Speaker 8: think Then it's Houston and Pittsburgh for me is interesting
31:03
Speaker 8: because of, hey, is Tomlin?
31:05
Speaker 4: What's that going to look like? Rogers?
31:06
Speaker 8: Is Rogers gonna get sacked forty seven times by that front?
31:09
Speaker 8: You know, I'll kind of want to see what goes
31:11
Speaker 8: on there. And then I think it's Chargers and Patriots
31:14
Speaker 8: because of you know, Justin Herbert has been an interesting
31:19
Speaker 8: guy in the playoffs and the expectations are kind of off.
31:21
Speaker 8: Now this year you got Harbaugh as a coach. Jim,
31:26
Speaker 8: what are the Patriots made of? I think that's fun.
31:28
Speaker 8: And then the Rams Panthers is just kind of my
31:29
Speaker 8: last one. But he is still interesting. I think it's
31:32
Speaker 8: still compelling because the Panthers beat him.
31:35
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna line this out. I mean, we're
31:37
Speaker 1: not the biggest gamblers in the world, but we probably should.
31:40
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people out there are. So
31:42
Speaker 1: Houston's a two and a half point favorite, New England's
31:45
Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite, Buffalo is a
31:47
Speaker 1: one and a half point favorite, Green Bay, you were right,
31:50
Speaker 1: a one and a half point favorite, and the Rams
31:52
Speaker 1: are a ten point favorite.
31:54
Speaker 8: So here's what you do if you want to lose
31:55
Speaker 8: your money. Here's Sandos picks. Okay, take Carolina in the
32:00
Speaker 8: and a half points. Okay, if I would probably take
32:05
Speaker 8: Chicago and take the one and a half, I'm a
32:08
Speaker 8: little nervous. I take the Jaguars and I take the
32:11
Speaker 8: one and a half. I would take the forty Niners
32:15
Speaker 8: and take four and a half. I would take the
32:18
Speaker 8: Patriots and give three and a half.
32:19
Speaker 4: And I would take the.
32:20
Speaker 8: Texans and give three. So if we write those down,
32:23
Speaker 8: let's just see how Okay, I worry what people do,
32:28
Speaker 8: but that's kind of I feel I agree with about
32:29
Speaker 8: half of that.
32:31
Speaker 4: That's good.
32:32
Speaker 8: That really helps your That that tells your listeners, don't
32:35
Speaker 8: bet on anything, it'll be the smartest.
32:37
Speaker 1: All right, Well, enjoy it all. We'll talk to you
32:39
Speaker 1: next week.
32:40
Speaker 8: All right, Okay, we'll see it all right.

33:11
Speaker 1: r F M. Alright, one last thing to close out
33:19
Speaker 1: this Thursday edition of Chuck and Buck in the Mornings. Bucky,
33:22
Speaker 1: get us going.
33:26
Speaker 2: I was just wanting to I want to say real
33:29
Speaker 2: quick too. We had some textures after we had our
33:31
Speaker 2: conversation about money and kids moving and money in the
33:35
Speaker 2: drugs and whatnot and.
33:37
Speaker 3: Things in the money, the money and the drugs.
33:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we weren't talking about the drugs, just the money.
33:43
Speaker 2: The drugs whole different ball game. You transfer for those
33:46
Speaker 2: but you stay. You don't just transfer for money.
33:49
Speaker 1: I know.
33:50
Speaker 2: It was like somebody was was bringing up the last
33:53
Speaker 2: point that I brought up, poor timing right at the
33:55
Speaker 2: end of the segment of there's a time when it's okay,
33:58
Speaker 2: and and yet that that of me is where the
34:01
Speaker 2: cloud or the snowball rolling downhill, the out of control,
34:06
Speaker 2: the lack of guardrails. That's where all this is kind
34:09
Speaker 2: of went awry for me. With the transfer portal, the
34:13
Speaker 2: timing of that, obviously I don't think is right. And
34:16
Speaker 2: then the the where they're trying to get some restraint
34:20
Speaker 2: on how you're going, how much you can spend, so
34:23
Speaker 2: it isn't just some oil tycoon and Texas can just
34:27
Speaker 2: say here, here's a billion.
34:29
Speaker 4: Dollars and go get me a championship.
34:31
Speaker 2: We don't want that money and nope, nope, drugs and
34:33
Speaker 2: money that's not in Texas as much.
34:36
Speaker 4: That's California. The money and the drugs. Yep, that's it
34:41
Speaker 4: really does.
34:42
Speaker 2: But to me, I don't know, this doesn't seem like
34:45
Speaker 2: a It doesn't seem like an outside the box, you
34:47
Speaker 2: know how. Am I not one that's going to sit
34:49
Speaker 2: and try to come up with some hot take this
34:51
Speaker 2: is just a plain and symbol. There is a little
34:54
Speaker 2: bit of loyalty. There's a lot of loyalty that's been lost,
34:57
Speaker 2: and just having a little bit is beneficial. Your word
35:00
Speaker 2: something should mean something. That said, there's also situations, different
35:04
Speaker 2: situations for different people that at times you don't necessary.
35:08
Speaker 2: It's not taking the easy way out. It's just there
35:11
Speaker 2: is a better avenue to take playing and simple. And
35:14
Speaker 2: that's again, this is a lot of it does not
35:16
Speaker 2: pertain to Demon Williams. You were the clear cut number
35:19
Speaker 2: one guy. You were gonna make four million bucks here.
35:22
Speaker 1: That John Brady comment that we played was before Demon Williams.
35:26
Speaker 1: That was just talking about the climate of college football specifically,
35:31
Speaker 1: and whether or not Tom Brady thought that he would
35:34
Speaker 1: transfer since he was having to battle it out with
35:37
Speaker 1: Drew ensign for starting time while he was at Michigan,
35:40
Speaker 1: if he would have transferred with the same rules. So yeah,
35:42
Speaker 1: that's just about the climate and the culture of college athletics.
35:46
Speaker 1: I'm glad, Just for the record, I'm glad the rules
35:48
Speaker 1: are looser. There are plenty of situations where somebody, hey,
35:52
Speaker 1: I've got a better opportunity, but I just making it
35:55
Speaker 1: as easy as they make it and now we have
35:59
Speaker 1: rules in place that apparently don't even have to be followed.
36:02
Speaker 1: There was the big story that we did about out
36:04
Speaker 1: there was going to be a CAP twenty and a
36:06
Speaker 1: half million. Well where did that go? And that all
36:09
Speaker 1: nil moneys had to be passed and funneled through this
36:11
Speaker 1: system and making sure that they were valid, and what
36:15
Speaker 1: happened with that? We were supposed to have some checks
36:19
Speaker 1: and balances here and they don't seem to exist, and
36:22
Speaker 1: the fact that people are running amuck with them. Where
36:26
Speaker 1: any kind of I mean, what happened to demand Williams
36:30
Speaker 1: as an example that made him say, after signing that
36:34
Speaker 1: five days ago, you know what, I shouldn't have done that.
36:39
Speaker 1: There's got to be a better thing out there for me.
36:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go look for one, but you just signed.
36:44
Speaker 4: I don't care.
36:46
Speaker 1: How do we get to that point? I don't understand it, Ashley?
36:49
Speaker 1: What you one last thing?
36:50
Speaker 6: Well, this also coming from the text line, we actually
36:52
Speaker 6: got listening at Texas and said, I've been waiting all
36:56
Speaker 6: day for the keys to victory this weekend.
36:58
Speaker 3: Oh was an l O l A.
37:01
Speaker 6: But I just wanted to let them know I've got
37:03
Speaker 6: a key. Yeah, it's gonna Yeah. Key to victory is
37:06
Speaker 6: having a good glass of whatever it is you'd like
37:09
Speaker 6: to drink, a comfortable couch, and a good autumn to.
37:14
Speaker 3: Kick your feet up on w R. There three keys
37:18
Speaker 3: to a certain victory, certain victory.
37:22
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I think you nailed it.
37:23
Speaker 3: I think I did. I think I did.
37:25
Speaker 6: Maybe you know a couple of snacks too, Yeah, you
37:27
Speaker 6: gotta have some snacks, make a dip.
37:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
37:30
Speaker 1: I think that's going to get the Seahawks through to
37:31
Speaker 1: the next round.
37:32
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna get through the next round.
37:34
Speaker 4: I think that you have to do those for them
37:36
Speaker 4: to get through. I think those could they could turn
37:39
Speaker 4: out to be winners.
37:41
Speaker 3: I think those are requirements.
37:43
Speaker 1: My key for the Seahawks this week is just to
37:48
Speaker 1: make sure that I wake up every day.
37:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's important to.
37:53
Speaker 6: Be the key.
37:54
Speaker 1: They won't even care if you could.
37:56
Speaker 2: You could never wake up again. They're still not going
37:58
Speaker 2: to lose this weekend. Yeah, you're right.
38:02
Speaker 1: We did.
38:03
Speaker 6: Also just see Demon, Williams agent sent out a tweet
38:08
Speaker 6: he has made the decision to end his representation effective immediately,
38:12
Speaker 6: due to philosophical differences. Demon is an incredible talent. We
38:17
Speaker 6: wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors.
38:20
Speaker 1: Well, it certainly made them look bad. They were scrambling too.
38:24
Speaker 3: They had apparently nothing to do it, and he did
38:26
Speaker 3: it all behind their back.
38:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
38:28
Speaker 1: My one last thing Mike McDaniel was fire. We didn't
38:31
Speaker 1: spend much time on it because it happened during the
38:33
Speaker 1: roundtable and we were just talking about all things Seahawks.
38:37
Speaker 1: So he is out as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
38:40
Speaker 1: I've kind of felt the writing was on the wall,
38:42
Speaker 1: and then toward the end of the season they started
38:44
Speaker 1: acting like they wanted him back. None of it made sense.
38:48
Speaker 1: This actually finally does make sense. I think he would
38:51
Speaker 1: be a heck of an offensive coordinator. He's very likable.
38:53
Speaker 1: I don't think he's just I just don't think he's
38:55
Speaker 1: the alpha male. I don't think he's the leader of men.
38:59
Speaker 1: Every game he has a former teammate run over and
39:02
Speaker 1: hug him, So there's a very good likability about him.
39:05
Speaker 1: He's obviously very clever offensive mind. I'm not sure about
39:10
Speaker 1: his press conferences and what was going on.
39:12
Speaker 4: He could have a drug problem.
39:14
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I don't know. Would it be
39:18
Speaker 1: more confusing or less confusing. If McDaniel and McDonald were
39:22
Speaker 1: on the same staff because everybody screws them up whenever
39:25
Speaker 1: they talk about that.
39:26
Speaker 3: Would be a good thing. So either way you say it,
39:27
Speaker 3: you're right.
39:29
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow at six am. It's a
