  Speaker 4: We're doing all right?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Can you read the bottom line at the I chart
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: when you go to the optometrist?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I have to be fully honest about that, Yeah, I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: can't with my.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Five officials aren't supposed to ever admit that they have glasses.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Gene You know that, I purposely, in my as my
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: eyes did decline a little in my basketball career, thought
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: that working with a little fuzziness and not being you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: seeing it too clean. Actually it was a pretty good
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: thing for me because I didn't see the tiki tag files.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: They were kind of.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Blended into you know, a little fuzziness. So I just
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: got the big ones. You know, did that make me
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit blind? Yeah?
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Probably, but you know I ran with it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I love the fact that you're just owning it after
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: years of officials taking abuse for kneading glasses jeans like, yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I've got a pair right here in my pocket. All right, Well,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: let's dive into a few things. I we got some
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: plays to isolate, but I just want to I'm watching
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Monday Night football last night and just wanted to try
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: to get your opinion on something he got justin Herbert
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: clearly out there playing with an injury to his left hand.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like he's got a prosthetic on
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: his left hand the way that he's kind of operating
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: out there, And I'm just curious, from an official standpoint,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: how difficult that was for you to not treat him
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: too precious. I mean, you know that he's hurt, you
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: know he's got an injury. Was it easy difficult for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: you in those situations to treat him like everybody else
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: or did you have to keep reminding yourself of, Hey,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: this is football. If he's going to be out here,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: he's a subject to the same hits that everybody else is.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, in all honesty, one of the things
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that I just admired so much about the athletes, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: through my whole career was yet justin Herbert definitely has
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a major injury, right and we can all see it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: He's a quarterback. But there wasn't a Sunday that went
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: by where you didn't know that a half a dozen
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: guys were out there, you know, playing with something that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: none of us would go in the backyard today and say,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: now I just can't throw with you son. You know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it's just a bad week, you know, And these guys
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were out there every single week, you know, just just
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: playing with reckless abandon but you know, and just the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: appreciation of it, so you know you're aware of it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But it is what you kind of said.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: At the end check, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the game you guys shows to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: play and they wear it as a badge of honor
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that they're gonna play through it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: You know. I was watching Aaron Rodgers this.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Week for his second consecutive week, you know, with the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: cast on his left hand, you know, and going a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: whole week, and I'm sure Herbert's the same way where
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you can't even practice a hand to hand snap just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: because you want to don't want to deal with the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: impact of a football being snapped part into your hand,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's amazing what they do.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And then it's even equally and maybe more amazing to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: then see how they perform with things that, again we
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: would never want to go out and just throw catch with.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But they're performing at this unbelievable.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Level with injuries that are that are significant.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So it's more of an admiration thing and a yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you want to help them get off the ground this
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: quick as you can whenever you see him down. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I was like that with every quarterback they got caught down.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to still be there as quick
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: as I could. And sometimes they take the hand and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: sometimes they wave it off. You know, it just depended
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on their mood of the day.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah gee, I mean, there was actually one, and it's
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: kind of something that I know is not necessarily in
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: the rules, and yet I'm curious as to how you
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: would have officiated it. I mean, not this week, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: last week when he ended up hurting being hurt. He
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: was playing against the Raiders, and there was one play
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: where a defenseman like he'd already gotten rid of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: ball and the defensive player kind of runs by and
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: on purpose like slaps his hand, like hits his hand.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: You know that there's some guys out there that are
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: going to go after something that's hurt on a guy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: That's just kind of part of the way the NFL is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: And yet that I don't think that's against the rules.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Is it necessarily walk by and slap a guy that
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: has a sore hand?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Bucky. But you know what I mean, if you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: really on your game as a ref that moment and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you see it, you don't you maybe can't flag it
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: right because what are you going to call there? But
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: it doesn't go without being recognized, Like it would be
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: one of those moments where I would hope my MIC
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: wasn't accidentally turned on for what I might be saying
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to that player understanding what that action could create for
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the rest of the game two plays later, or you know.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Or the ramifications of that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So in those types of scenarios, game managing again without
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a hot MIC is a good tool to have, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: hopefully if you see it or could catch it, you
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: address it really, really fast for all the right reasons,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's part of business.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's like when there was a fumble in that pile
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and you know, ten bodies are in there trying to scratch,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: reach and rip any body part they can from underneath
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the pile because they don't want to claim that their
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: hands is attached to the rest of their body. There.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: You know what was going on.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You know, you just tried to get it, didn't get
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it finished as quick as we couldn't move on to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the next snap.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Jeane Sterator is with us the segment every week brought
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to you by BMW Seattle, the very low prescription glass
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: owning Jeane Sterotor just for reading, you know, drive around
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: in the dark, things like that. Otherwise, eyes like a hawk,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Eyes like a hawk.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And for years.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: A stigmatism in the left eye, just the mouth stigmatism
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the left off that didn't really affect his depth,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: perception or anything of.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: This judgment was keen his Keen twenty twenty. Yeah, all right, well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: let's dive into some of these plays. And I'm going
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: to start with something that I said yesterday in our
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: show meeting might have been the.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Worst call I've ever seen.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how Isaiah Likely's touchdown catch was overruled.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: So explain that to me. Baltimore, the Harball family. God,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: we're all listening because we don't get that one.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's this place. I have to tell you, guys, listen.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I mean my career paralleled that I was the Calvin
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Johnson catch. I was the des Bryant catch. I was
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the zach Ertz catch in the Super Bowl. So the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: catch and the way the rule is written, and the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: fact that we've decided to make it a reviewable frame
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: by frame play has created these types of scenarios where
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: we're going to have plays that are getting right to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: what one hundred people in the bar say, touchdown and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: back after review based on the criteria that we have
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to set in some way for a subjective play. We've
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: got to get it in black and white to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: able to say this is how we're doing it. The
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: play happens. This was another one of those perfect storm plays. Look,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I think if you do watch it in real time
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and you realize that we have this little extended moment
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: where we all do think it's a catch and the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: ball comes out, we are getting triggered a little bit,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I think after some years ago, and that might not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: be you know, let's.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Take a look.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe the backfoot still was down and it was the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: third step. Whenever those little elements turn out to be,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: this one felt like it was exactly that perfect storm.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: In so many levels.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Now, an upright receiver in the end zone in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: field of play has to continue to finish the three
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: elements of the catch in their processed steps, possession, two
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: feet down, and then either a third step or the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: time to make a different type of a football move,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: or a football move in this scenario likely does something
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that we just haven't seen. He initially possesses a football
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: with both arms fully extended away from his body for
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the right reasons. So his possession, which is step one,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: is with his arms fully extended. He gets two feet down,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: keeps the ball fully extended to keep it away from
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the defensive back at that time from ripping it out
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in the end zone. In a frame or two before
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: his third foot hits the ground, and the time element
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that would be deciphered in some subjective manner hadn't taken
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: place fully yet, the football comes loose, so you're.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Gonna have all of these different variables.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, the football move is he's got his arms extended.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He didn't extend them from being the ball being in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: his body and reaching. He's not going to take it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: from being fully extended and tucking it back in.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: He's bringing it to danger.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: So you had a lot of these little elements of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: this definition of what becomes a catch, and then it differs,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: as we know if he were following, it would be
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a different element.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Right. So this is the challenge, no pun intended.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's a piece of the game that these
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: stakeholders decided to make reviewable that at times we see
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: these plays happen where we think this whole thing is
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: just not the way we.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Want it to be.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But yet we've got to live by some criteria. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I really do feel like this play is that play.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I talked to half a dozen people in
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: football in the football world that said, look, as soon
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: as I thought, I thought, that's just not a catch
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: right now, you know, but then again, you'll look at
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a very very wide origin of humans, it'll say, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that's just a touchdown.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Guys.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I know, I mean, and I understand that as well,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But I think these are the scenarios, and this is
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: what we have to live with in some ways because
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: we're reviewing subjective pieces of a play. It's not a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: black and white play.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, I mean I get then if you've put
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: the letter of the law down, then you've got to
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: go by the letter of the law. And yet there
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: there was a play in the Seahawks game Seattle against Atlanta.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: It was a play in the second quarter and it
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: ended up being kind of a four point play. Now,
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: it didn't really matter because the game ended up being
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: thirty seven to nine, but you know, that was when
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: the game was still close, and this was a way
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: a time in which the Falcons are trying to extend
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: their lead, where it looked like the receiver Moody was
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: kind of forced out of bounds just a little bit
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: of contact and he goes out of bounds, comes back
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: and I think he gets two feet down, which I
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: thought this re establishes himself. But they basically negate the
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: touchdown at that point in time, and they said that
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: he didn't reestablish himself. So what is the rule of
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: how much contact can happen before you're considered forcing someone
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: out of bounds? And what does he have to do
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: to re basically re establish being inbounds.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Really interesting play Bucky with a lot of different pieces
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to that as well, and you did. You set it
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: up perfectly.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: So in this scenario, you.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: See a defensive back with the receiver running near the sideline,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and we have some contact with the defensive player beyond
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: five yards. Let's even put it in that category where
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: if we thought it was a redirection type of a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: contact by the defensive player and the quarterback was in
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the pocket, would have flag for illegal contact maybe, But
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this contact wasn't enough to rise to the level of
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: legal contact because it was it was subtle, right, it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: what we want them to do. Let him play a
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: little bit. So now the bump that isn't a foul
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: does cause the receiver to step out of bounds. Now,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: once he's out of bounds, and he's out of bounds,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: free of file, he's out of bounds just because he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: either put himself there voluntarily or the contact was so
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: incidental that we're not thinking that he was forced out
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: or fouled to be out. Now, he is not eligible
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to be the first person to touch a legal forward pass,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: regardless of whether he re establishes or not. If he
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: gets both feedback in in that scenario and catches the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: football and finishes the play, there's a flag for illegal
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: touching on the receiver for going out of bounds, free
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of file and being first to touch. The penalty for
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that file is just a loss of down at the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: previous spot. If he steps out of bounds, gets one
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: foot back in, which is fine in colleagues because it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a one foot game.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: In the NFL is a two feet game.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: If he goes out of bounds and only reestablished, it
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't reestablish but gets one foot in the field of play.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: The other foots in the air. The moment that he
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: touches that forward pass, he's out of bounds still by rule,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: so it becomes an incomplete pass. So regardless of how
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: that play kind of finished, incomplete pass back kind of
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: loss of down right next down back to the previous spot,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: re establishes illegal touching foul foul is go back to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the previous spot. It was a loss of down next down,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: so the penalty or the result would have been the same.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: But that's how that play gets squared as it relates
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to a player going out of bounds that was not fouled.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: If he were.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Fouled out of bounds and you had illegal contact that
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: put him out.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Now he comes back in and catches thing.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You may see two flags there and then the dreaded
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: rep conference for a minute. But you'd have one official
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: saying either illegal touching on eighty eight and say no,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that's fine.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Hold on a minute, I've.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Got a legal contact on twenty eight that put them out.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Pick up the flag for illegal or illegal touching. We'll
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: decline the file for illegal contact to be caught it,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: and then go back to square one and have the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: result of the play. So that play definitely has a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: lot of layers to it.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Buck boy, as somebody rooting for the Seahawks, I thought
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: for sure that we got away with one there. But
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: and then somebody that has no rooting interest in the
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens, I thought they completely got screwed.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Just a recap.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me I'm over two on these two
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: plays that they actually got the Baltimore catch or drop
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: right and they got the Falcons play right too.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Let me preface it by this man, which is what
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I used to do with the mic By rule, Chuck
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: By rule, you're over two over ten.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Now do the refts right the rules? No?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Are they being taxed with applying these rules like this that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: We all disagree with the times.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, you're oh for two by your personal opinion, I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: give you like a half of one on the catch
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and you're just wrong on the Seattle play.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: So just a fifteen yard penalty against me and not
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: fifteen yards in a loss a game.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, got it, no.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Loss.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I still got a hold of dig out of here.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the Chiefs Texans game. I'll
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: be honest, I didn't watch a lot of this game
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because I had just finished watching like thirty thousand football
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: games in the previous twenty four hours, so I kind
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: of needed a break by some.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we welcome to fiworld.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but apparently there were a lot of calls, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: of course then all the Chiefs that were brought into question,
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: and one in particular I want to ask you about
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: is that the Chiefs had challenged a replay assist and
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: then it is overturned.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: That he's the guy was ruled short. So it led
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: to the questions of can you challenge replay assist? And
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: is it a bad look? When the replay assist is
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: getting overturned.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Last question first, Yes, bad, look okay, right, I think
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to even add a little more to it, I think
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: if you go back and watch the play, I think
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the officials on the field got the spot right the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: first time, right, which initiated what they felt was a
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: replay assist to.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Then award the first down. Dangerous place all around, gods. Like.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: From a philosophical standpoint, I'm all for I'm not a
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: worse and buggy guy. Enhance technology, make the game better,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Enhance communication from other people to make the game move
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: more efficiently.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes to both, but not.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: If it's at the detriment of what we love and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that's the essence of the game. And I get nervous
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: about that. This is a first for me. You know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: replay assists. Someone from off the field.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Comes down to tell the officials on the field.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: You've done something incorrectly. We have it nailed upstairs. I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: can assure you on the field. If that happens, you're
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: going wherever they're telling you in your ear to go,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: because you have to trust how fast this game is
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and how I could be wrong.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: And now we realize that they're wrong.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Upstairs.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: That really is a big, big no no.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: We never can come down from above with with the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: knee jerk quick reaction. That now has to be challenged.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: And yes, I didn't know it. I'm kind of glad
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: it happened to another network's rules analysts to find out
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: if they could challenge or replay assistable play. I don't
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: recall that happening yet, it makes sense that you could.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But then I guess the real question is, now that
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I've challenged it and they've had a chance to look again,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: can replay assist replay assist you know, like, can we
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: get it? Can we get a do over?
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: And not?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And not kind of you know, tax the team with
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that challenge, because really, again, what refs do. Let's say
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: that Kansas City was unsuccessful in their first challenge and
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: they're sit in a third quarter now and they were
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: forced to challenge or replay assist, they get it right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: but they didn't get both right. Now Kansas City may
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: have to play the remainder of this game without a challenge,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and then god forbid, we end up with a play
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: that's not replay assistible.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: But after the third look, it's they were.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Wrong and Kansas City couldn't challenge, so a very very
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: delicate place. We've got to be careful and all these
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: new shiny objects that we're implementing in at the end
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of the day are good for the game, but it
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: was the first for me. I have to say, uh
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and thank goodness. Everybody's the working pieces were there to
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: get the thing right, because that's what everybody wants at the.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: End of the day.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Here's my takeaway. You know, we got the better guy
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: on our show. We could add Terry McCauley and we
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: got the better goal. That's what I come from that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, first round for sure for the show.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I am going to clip and send it to.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: My friend Terry everyone whenever we have those little moments.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know, we had our choice of many seemed rules analysts,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and we chose the right guys.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: That's what I heard. Nailed it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's happy for it, fellas, he's happy for it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Where are you this weekend, We're going to.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Go back to New York.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: We have the Army Navy Game, which I think is
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the greatest football game played in America every single year,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and the pomp and circumstance of being able to just
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: take that game in. My late father had the pleasure
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: to ref that game five times in his illustrious career
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: as an official.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: So it's a game.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I got to meet President Ford in nineteen seventy four
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: at an old JFK Stadium in Philly and got to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: be in that game in that environment, I should say,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: and really feel the magnitude of what it means to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: see our young navy and army people off together. It's
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: an amazing experience. It's a one off, so we have
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the luxury of doing that on Saturday, fellas in that naturally,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked yet because I'm still trying to unwind.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's five, six or seven games
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on CBS this Sunday, which will probably half of them
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: at least be playoff implicating games. So just psyched up
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: for another great week?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Well awesome, I'm glad to get to have that experience again.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks as always, you are the best and we will
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: talk to you soon.
• 20:18

• 20:48
  Speaker 4: And tried to open your front door with it? Because
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: I have no?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first they were no, didn't and I even had
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: it even crossed my mind, like what's wrong with this?
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: Dim?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, that doesn't go to that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: All right, Everett Fitzi's next Sports Radio ninety three point
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: three KJRFM start to move and so far, so good
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: on that front. We have some breaking news be where
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: we get to Ebert Fitzhugh Kyle Schwarber is going back
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: to Philadelphia. He has resigned a five year, one hundred
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars deal, thirty three year old player
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: with one hundred and fifty million dollars contract guaranteed to
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: remain a Philadelphia Philly And then moments later, former Mariner
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz left the Mets officially he has signed with
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Dodgers. I don't have the money on
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that in front of me just yet. But soon as
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Schwarber went, they were calling him the Domino at the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: MLB Winter meetings. So we get another move shortly after that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So maybe things are cooking now down in Orlando with
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the MLB Winter meetings, things are not cooking for our
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: local hockey squad. They lost their sixth straight game last
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: night to the Minnesota Wild, this time four to won
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the final score. Joining us is the voice of your
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: crack and ever fits you. Good morning, sir. Sorry, Kyle
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Schwarber is not a Tiger.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Now, listen.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: I would have had my money on Shoreber going back home,
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: going back to Cincinnati. He's talked, he's talked quite a
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: bit over the last handful.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Of years in his career just how much he liked Cincy, and.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: He wouldn't be opposed to coming back to Cincy and
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: finishing his career there. So I was I was surprised,
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: but are you I'm surprised they gave a thirty two
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: year old one hundred and fifty million dollars or his
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: baseball just monopoly money.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And this is an Okay, I'm not surprised by that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I thought I thought that was going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: be about the rate.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Plus.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna age pretty well, don't you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Bucky power's the last thing to go. Yeah, he's not.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: He's not there. Not signed him for speed.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: You know he's he'll be able to hit bombs when
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: he's thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I think it was Banana Rama
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: who wrote money talks, Money talks, Ye, dirty cat, I
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: want you, dirty cat.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I need you.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Uh huh, so money always talks in these situations. Everett,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: all right, talk to us. Let us know, Cracking have
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: lost six straight games, obviously the roughest patch of the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: entire season, and it's not even close. So what's gone wrong?
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: And as the how is the how is the club house?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: How's the coaching staff reacting to this?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you listen to the media from last night, uh,
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: you know, it's it's pretty Taylor Stevenson saying rock bottom
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: is pretty tough. Jordan Everley going on record saying, you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: he knows this is a good team, but we need
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: more will to to to win games. We have to
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: try harder to win games. And you can you can
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: sense the dejection just in those comments. And you know, again,
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: it'd be one thing, and then take the Oilers game
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: out of it, it'd.
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: Be one thing.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: If the cracking we're getting blown out every night, you know, uh,
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: six to one.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: But these are games that the cracking.
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: I mean, you're on your way to overtime against Detroit
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: two games ago, and then you score, you get scored on.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: With two and a half minutes left.
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: Last night If you look at the box score, yet
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: says a four to one loss, But I mean it
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: was two to one with two and a half minutes
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: until you get the empty nets.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: That the two empty net goals.
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: So you know, for all intents and purposes, Grubauer only
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: let in two goals last night.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: So he had a really good performance.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: So that's the frustrating part, is that this system that
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: the cracking or playing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: And then again you take the Edmonton Oiler games before.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: Nothing in the nine to four out of it. Four
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: of these six games have been one goal games. You
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: go back to the Islander game, that first shootout loss,
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: it was a one nothing shootout loss. It doesn't get
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: any closer than that. So the frustrating part is what
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: we've been talking about all season long. The offense still
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: not generating enough. You know, Lane Lambert has been saying
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: a lot the last couple of weeks a month here,
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: I want the guys to be more selfish. I want
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: guys shot the puck more. There were a couple of
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: plays last night where Seattle, you know, seemingly and it's
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: easy for us to say because we're up in the
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: press box and you can see plays develop. But the
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: cracking let let up a few easy shots. They passed
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: up on a few good looking shots. So I think
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: it's trying to get the offense going, and like the
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: rest of us, we're trying to scratch our heads and ask, well,
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: how do we get that done well?
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: So is that just the idea of you're looking for
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: something that's too perfect? I mean, when a team, it's
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: one thing if one guy's like man, I just don't
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: see it. But if the entire team is kind of
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: having that same feeling when they're looking at, you know,
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: opportunities and not taking the shot, is that a Where
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: does that come from? And how do you expect Lambert
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: and company to kind of address it? Is it just
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: I don't care when it's on your stick throat at
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: the net.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: You know, I've always personally thought that this team has
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: been historically a little bit too passive. And I mean
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: that in the in the literal sense of the word.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: This team will option for the for the extra pass
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: rather than putting the puck on the net lane. Lambert
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: he had some very pointed comments about a month ago,
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: I believe, maybe not quite two weeks ago, and he said,
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: I don't understand. Basically, I don't understand why these guys
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: won't listen to me. I want them to be more selfish.
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: I want them to shoot the puck. You can hear Al.
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: We'll talk about it all the time. You know how
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: many times have we seen goals go off of Jaden
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: Schwartz's his body and in although he's out right now,
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: but guys in front of the net. Go back to Chicago,
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: there is a goal that went off of two knees
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: and ultimately into.
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: The back of the net.
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: That doesn't happen unless you throw the puck to the net.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: So I do think there is a a.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: Pension for waiting for that perfect shot, for waiting for
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: that clear lane. Last night, the second a wild goal,
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: Marcus Johansson is right in front of Grubauer. The wild
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: defenseman lost the puck to the net. Johansson just happens
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: to be right there. It goes off his skate, ankle, stick, whatever,
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: and into the back of the net. Those are the
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: type of goals you have to score. Goalies in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: NHL are too good. You're not gonna beat a goalie
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: with a sixty foot slap shot from the blue line.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: It's just not gonna happen anymore.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I always like Jayan Schwartz. I never really saw him
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: as being like invaluable, and yet man, they have not
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: been the same without him. How much do they miss Schwartz?
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: There is a there's a certain calmness about Jaden Schwartz.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: When you put him on the ice and the team
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: just breathed this, it almost seems like he injects this
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: sigh of relief, you know, as if to say, Okay,
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: we're gonna be fine, We're gonna be good, We're gonna
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: get this done. He just has this way about him
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: and and and you're really missing that leadership on the ice,
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: on the bench, I think on the power play, which
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: has been abysmal in the last handful of games. Yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: they scored one last night, and you know what, after
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: they've got power play goals in two in a row,
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: after going ninth straight without a power play goal. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: there is a silver lining there, but you're missing that piece,
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: that net front piece, and I think this overall, you're
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: missing a guy who, in addition to the Jordan Eberles
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: and the Matty Veneers and the Jarry McCants, you're missing
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: some of that passion on the bench that that the
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: younger guys can feed off of, and the energy that
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: guys can feed off of. You're really missing that with
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: him out of the lineup.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Well, Kings tomorrow not exactly an easy team. We got
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: about thirty seconds left to try to end this skid against.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they've been up in down the last few weeks,
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: but I mean they're still third place in the division.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: They are on their mother's trip this week as well,
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: so they're getting an extra bolt of jolts of energy.
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: They just won in Vancouver last night for nothing. I
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: mean that was a pretty u pretty wild game for them.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: So this is the team that the cracket are gonna
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: have to they have to win. I mean, this is
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: where where I don't like to say this is a
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: must win game. I don't like to say that before
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: the the All Star break, you know, in February.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: But this is a must win game right now.
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: You're only four points out of or three points rather
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: out of a playoff spot. So you win tomorrow, you're
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: back in the thick of this race and the saving
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: grace for Seattle. All of these teams are so bunched up.

  Speaker 9: I think first place in the in the division and
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: sixth place or seventh place in the division are only
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: separated by five points. So it's it's not it's not

• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Guessed that that sounds like a movie. Yeah, but the
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: but the lyrics were money talks, money talks, dirty cash.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: I want you, dirty cash, I need you. Oh oh all.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, yeah exactly, So I screwed that up royally

  Speaker 3: all right? Coming up next, how old is too old
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: to play quarterback in the National Football League? Get ready, folks,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: we might face Philip Rivers this weekend. Sports Radio ninety
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: three point three KJRFM. Yeah, and so he invited him
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: on because he wanted to sing a song with him,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: so that he dressed like young Neil Young, and then
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: old Neil Young came out and sang with him. It
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: was phenomenal. I bet like the greatest thing Jimmy Folman
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: has ever done on television. It was spectacular. Google it, yeah, yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: you need to check it out.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Very good stuff.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Chuck buck Ashley with you here. Rick new Eyes is
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: going to join us at nine o'clock. So Koog's fans
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: be listening up because I'm gonna ask him if he's
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: gonna be the next head coach of the Washington State
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: guard I can't wait. Yeah, I can't wait here his response.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: If he doesn't answer our call, you know that something's up. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard from him. Yeah, So hopefully I don't
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: think he's gonna He wouldn't duck out on us. We'll see,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: we shall could go missing, we shall see. But the
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: other big story that we're dealing with today, and frankly
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: haven't talked enough about up Rivers might be coming out
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: of retirement. I don't think there's any chance that he'll
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: be coming out of retirement to play this Sunday. That
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: seems impossible. But then again, just Philip Rivers coming out
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: of retirement seems impossible. And yet he is visiting with
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts. They do need quarterback depth. You can't
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: trade for anybody. That deadline has passed, and so they
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: have asked former Colt forty four years old, five years
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: removed from playing in the National Football League. He's on
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: the damn Hall of Fame ballot this year. He might
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: get into the Hall of Fame if not for him
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: playing for the Colts this Sunday and he might be
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: on his way back to the National Football League. It
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: is insane as a former athlete, I mean, how long
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: do you think you could have been away from the
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: game and then thought to yourself, okay, I think I
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: still can recapture it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Ten minutes, not very long. I mean really it was
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: probably five years out of the question. Yeah, well, I
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: mean to play quarterback. Possibly not. I mean, okay, so
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: arm obviously is important. He was never mobile to begin with,
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: right as far as his legs go.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: And his delivery always looked like an old man throwing
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: his newspaper right on the shot put in just like that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, he's been coaching his like high
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: school a high school team the last like five years,
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: you know, back you know, still making that money. Since
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: he has ten kids and now grandkids along with it,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised if he still is throwing. But
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: he's not doing the stuff that it takes to physically
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: be able to withstand the abuse that even though they
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: protect quarterbacks, I mean, you're gonna get hit.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: And I watched Justin Herbert play last night and he
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: hardly got hit or yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Right, he wishes he didn't get hit. He played out
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: there with a broken hand, and yet there was I mean.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yet he was inviting contact every play, just keep on,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: every quarterback keepers, and he wanted to win.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: It was a gutty performance. And yet to me, it's
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: there's something about I mean, you get over forty. One
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: of the most blatant things that you notice is how
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: much longer it takes to heal. And you know, I
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: mean just everything that you that gets hurt, it just
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: hurts longer than it usually does. Now, I mean, this
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: is an opportunity. I think that that he's a competitor
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: that doesn't go away ever, right, the idea of I
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: want to go out and compete, and the fact that
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: he never got to play in a Super Bowl, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: think is why he's always kept the option open. You know,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: in his first couple of years out of retirement, he
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: was still entertaining the idea.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: I think he was still in if I remember correctly,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I think he threw it out there again at the
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: beginning of this year he said, if anybody wants to
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: give me a shot, I think I can still play.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's kept that ball in the air ever
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: since he retired. Yeah, and this makes you beg the
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: question why'd you retire?
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: Then?
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I don't know.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: I guess just you don't want to put in the
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: time to do it every single day or every offseason.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: And yet if you don't do it, then the chances
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: of something bad happening injury wise, I think go up expan.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: And yet if he's entertaining it, then I imagine he's
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: capable of doing the main things that quarterback needs to do. Right,
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, now, how much faster the game would go?
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: That's where in baseball? Okay, when I was three or
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: four years out of playing, could I have still swung about?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Could I have seen it as well and reacted as quickly,
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: especially when relatively I was going backwards without having the reps? No,
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: it would have been. I mean two years out, I
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: wouldn't have been. It would have taken a long time
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: to get back to where you would have needed to
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: be if if my body was capable of doing it
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: at all.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: But to me, there seems like no chance. And yet
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: I do want to see it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm rooting for it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I want.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: I think the mental side of it would be fine,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: you know, especially since he's still coaching Yeah, you want
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: to see it this Sunday.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying it for a perspective. I want
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: to by the story becomes even better if it's like
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: he plays immediately. No, I'm with you, and it's already
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: a phenomenal story even if it never comes to Ruster.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it'd be interesting to see. I mean, I want
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: I would like to see it. I would like to
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: see a guy come back at forty four and possibly
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: do enough to help a team win, because that team's
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: it was a really good team for the first part
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: of the year. They've been scuffling as of late, so
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: we'll see if he can rebound, all
• 36:16
