• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I still stand by though it needs a live stream.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: I mean there's a chance it's a disaster. I mean
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: everything that we do could end up being a disaster.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: But yeah, just for the idea of getting on the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: road with your buddy slash co workers and sharing a
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: space and doing shows and getting ready for the super Bowl.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: It should be fun.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's an adventure.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to be fun. Yeah. I mean I have
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: one concern, but other than that, I have no other concerns.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be great.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I think one concern is not bad.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no one, you got to deal with several concerns,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: but I don't. It will overcome it. It's far as
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: all the actual the work part of it, Like Radio
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Row I've never done. You've done how many shoot bows?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Six seven, twenty seven, thirty two? Yeah, you've been there,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: done that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So he's been there, done that sixty I'm.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Actually really looking forward to the whole thing, like just
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the entire spectacle that comes with it, right, I mean
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Radio Row. I have never been to anything that's remotely
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: close to that. I have a feeling that there could
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: be some parts of it that get annoying, I would imagine,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you just got to take
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the the things that are different. I mean we kind
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of all get stuck, especially with this time slot. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: kind of get in your routine. I mean, mine is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: step by step, the exact same thing every single morning.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking that on my way, that's not.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Going to be the same thing. And yet I'm also
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: one that I feel like I can adapt, okay and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: do it. So I think we're going to kill it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: As far as going down there, I mean, there's be
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of people there that are just coming their
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: national radio people or whatever. We're gonna be coming down there.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: This is the team we cover. We're gonna be able to,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of see it up close and personal.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be able to talk to a lot of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the players and get some inside information for a week
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: leading up to the biggest game of their lives. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be fun.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm really looking forward to it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: People are gonna want us to be guests on their
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: show because we are from the city as one of
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: the two Yeah, one of the two teams, So there'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: be that too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like paparazzi and stuff.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: They are smile posts, so we.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Gotta get shades to block the camera flashes. Should I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: wear by bedazzle jeans then I them?
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Okay, I mean maybe maybe just see Monday how it goes.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And then Tuesday, maybe Cracker, you think, Okay, what do
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you think about wearing something other than the flip flops
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I've worn every day? You think so, I don't think
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: so yourself, myself, not.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Wear the pants that fall down if you don't hold
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: them up.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I won't wear those again until I get
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that draw. And that was a very uncomfortable day for me.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I was just walking around here. Literally at any step
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I could just flash the world.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah for me too.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, after I told you, She's like, I'm just
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: gonna look down, and like, don't look down. I was,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, don't you just don't walk near me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Because if I looked up, I would notice if I
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: saw something drop, whereas if I looked at the ground,
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: I'd see nothing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: Beneath the ball, Yes, exactly. In case he lowers the bar,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter, because I'm looking.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Back, I'm already below it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: Say, I think the thing that is very cool for
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: next week too, and just in our you know, planning
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: meetings and talking yesterday like the regular guests we have
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: that we'll get to actually be sat with.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You guys, to talk with you guys.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: I mean that'll that's always a little added extra element
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: of fun.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I think Hasselbeck might be he's.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Gonna be down there, So we're gonna try to have
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: him join you guys at least once and then sitting
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: with you guys.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I think on most mornings.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: There'll be a few.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: Uh he's gonna have I mean, they put stuff all
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: over the place, like there are press conferences for five
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: straight days, different things being featured.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so he's.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know how that will work out, but yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: there's a good chance he can be with us.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: The buzz is very loud.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hugh, he's going to be there. That'll be awesome.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: And then, uh, you know, Nickerson needs to get there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I doubt he will, but he
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: needs to get there. He's gonna be on tomorrow.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: He's busy being jokey boy. Yeah, around the country.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: A jokey boy. There's a good a lot of people there.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there's a laugh shack in Santa Clay's true.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Just post up on radio row and start telling jokes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: A bad idea. We shall see.
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: But anyway, the plans have been made and uh, it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: going to be exciting and we've got twelve days to
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: set this thing up.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Tee, this thing up. It's it is fun.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: Turns out it's fun for all of those so you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: all those Packer fans that are listening or Lions fans
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: that might be listening. Turns out it's fun to be
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we should have tried this like last year and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the year before.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I enjoy it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: We've got some cash to give away today. Your cash contest.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: Keyword to start the day is pay pa. Why go
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: aheading into that at ninety three to three KJR dot
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: com for your shot at one thousand dollars in Powerplay cash.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Pay is your keyword used in a sentence. I may
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: pay people during the course of the next two weeks not.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: To talk about Sam Darnold. Okay, Yeah, good idea.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Because I'm telling you, I mean, I realize, I mean
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: it's a it's a statement that has kind of echoed.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It was the lead story.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: On several different websites yesterday and stayed there out the
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: course of the day, even though Mike McDonald said it
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: on Sunday night. I hope this silence is a lot
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: of Sam Donald's critics. Well, you can open one hand
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: coach and you can know what in the other.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And so it just hasn't.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, I woke up Sunday morning thinking that the
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: one of the loudmouths that does shows on our drive
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: in would kind of admit to it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: His take was, yeah, he's gonna silence me if he
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: wins one more game.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So he has to win the Super Bowl in
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: order to get the critics off his back about being
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: a really good quarterback. So then there was that. Then
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: I drove home and whoever Mark James had on, he
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: was of course talking about that the Seahawks should win
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: this thing, and of course Sam Donald's interceptions.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Are a big so in silence that guy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: Then I went and took my nap and I woke
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: up from that, and then they somebody on one of
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: the talking head shows and he's apparently an analytical expert,
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: and his take first thing that I hear after I
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: wake up, don't even go get my afternoon coffee. Yet
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: he says, well, Seahawks are the favorites, but of course
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: the statistics show that Sam Donald is just not very
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: good when he gets hit in the pocket.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: So it ends silence I mean, I think it hass
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: silence some I think it has I think there are
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: some people that kind of have copped to it, But no,
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: I mean I think that we are just in a
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: world where people have been given stages and platforms and
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: microphones who can't walk back from a bad take. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: think that's just where we are. And those that said
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald sucked five years ago are just gonna hold
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: to it and that's all there is to it. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: so that's the world that we live in. And I
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: don't put it on Sam Donald that he's got to
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: win the super Bowl to justify my confident.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I don't put that on him.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: But nonetheless, that's just the world that we're in. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald, I appreciate you sticking up for your quarterback,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: not making an issue during the course of the season,
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: but once he played a game like that making that
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: statement that I think it fell on a lot.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Of deaf ears. Well, I mean, it's it's Mike McDonald
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: made the statement. Sam Donald doesn't actually pay it much credence,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: but you know, he hears it. Writer has read about
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it and notices that. I mean, but then again, he
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: did hear it. He did read about it when he
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: first came into the league, and so the first impression was,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you're not good enough at this level. Okay, well, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: just would ask any of those talking heads or anybody
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: out there when you were twenty years old, were you
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: as good at your profession as you were ever going
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to be? Probably not right, and if you were, you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: maybe should get a more difficult profession. Are your Hayley
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Joel Osmond? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, sure and so and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I suppose it can go downhill for some, but for
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the most part, especially an athletic, you're never going to
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: perfect the craft. You're never going to be perfect. I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady didn't win the Super Bowl his last year,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and yet he's pretty much widely celebrated as the most
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: accomplished best quarterback to ever play the game. And yet
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: it's like, if you don't win the last game of
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the season, if you don't win the Super Bowl, there's
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: some sort of failure on top of it. I mean,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: this is Sam Dart, however you want to look at it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It's perspective. It's his first year in Seattle, first year
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: we clicked Kubiak, It's really its second year in a row. Now,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that he's been a starter since back when he was
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: drafted by the Jets, so he's got two years of
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: starting under his belt. And he floundered by being harassed
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: by the Rams in last year's postseason game and scuffled, right,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: But I mean, who doesn't when you get sacked nine times?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: What quarterback has a great game when you're being harassed
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like that? And then this year it comes back with
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: all the doubters all season long, some that I just
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: can't even believe that they have a microphone to just
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: blab about their opinions about People have been talking about
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: how it wasn't good enough, and yet the first half
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of the season this offense was unbelievable. And then yes,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it went into a little bit of a part where
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it wasn't maybe clicking on all cylinders. People were figuring
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: out what it was they were trying to do, what
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Clint Kubak's game plan was. You weren't running the ball
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: as effectively for sure, and yet the defense then was like,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that's cool, we got you, and you just kept winning.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And then when it came down to crunch time, go
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: back to basically that Rams game when it was like, boy,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the number one seed and winning the division, all the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: stuff's on the line. He has tightened it up since then.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: It still hasn't been perfect, but he's tightened it up,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and he hasn't made the catastrophic turnovers. And then when
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you get into the playoffs, you're playing against so far
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: two of your division rivals, So there's the added stress
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that comes along with that. They know you as well
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: as anybody's going to know you. You're playing them three
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: different three times or for the third time each team
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: for the third time in the season, and you do
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it flawlessly pretty much. I mean, I wouldn't say flawless
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: like you were perfect, but you didn't make any catastrophic mistakes,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: no turnovers, and and not putting the ball in harm's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: way with the exception of a couple of times, butches
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: somewhat understandable. I just don't I really don't understand how
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you can't have a perspective of I might have been
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a little bit wrong about this guy, and that's okay.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: And by the way, I think that it should be
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: worth noting that he had the fumbled snap and that
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: was his fault. I mean, it wasn't a great snap,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: but he took his eye off of it. Yeah, if
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: you remember in the shotgun, and then he threw that
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: one ball into complete traffic. And this is a statistic
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: that Hughes pointed out throughout the course of the season.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: You are going to make plays that give the defense
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: a chance to turn it, make turn it into a turnover.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: And his analytical statistics said throughout the course of the year,
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: and this if if you couldn't catch it, because you
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: throws a lot of stuff at you throws a lot
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: of number.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: He was saying this all season long.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: He had the worst luck statistically in the entire National
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: Football League of the percentage of balls that he put
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: in Harm's way were actually capitalized on. And that doesn't
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: happen to every quarterback. I mean, I think Josh Allen's
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: the best quarterback in the world. And I know he
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: got knocked out in the second round of the playoffs
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: this year, I still think he's I know that Patrick
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Mahomes has won three Super Bowls. For goodness sake, I
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: think Josh Allen right now is the best quarterback in
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: the world. Nobody puts the ball at more risk, more
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: frequently than what Josh Allen does. And yet because he
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: makes so many spectacular plays that other guys can't make
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: that he makes up for it. And that's the way
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: Sam Darnold played this year. And he certainly didn't play scared,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: and he let it rip, and his coaches wanted him
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: to let it rip. And in letting it rip, yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: you are going to put the ball in harm's way
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: a little more frequently. He certainly did not play the
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: season air or free. He certainly didn't have a good
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: game every single time that he went out this year.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: But my goodness, sixteen and three, yeah, and headed to
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: the Super Bowl fourteen and three and back to back years.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's doing a lot.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Right. If we lose the Super Bowl, my bet.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: Is I'm not saying that it won't happen, but my
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: bet is Sam Darnold's not going to be the reason.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: Well, and I was gonna say that's the thing that
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: frustrates me is you look at last week's game against
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: the forty nine ers, right, and he and we talked
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: about how people were well, he only threw for one
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: hundred and twenty four yards and.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah. He didn't win the game. The
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: defense won the game.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: You're right, the defense was the main reason why we
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: won that game. But then you go to this week
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: and the defense needed some help, and what happened.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Sam stepped up through three touchdowns and made it happen.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: So maybe I don't know, crazy thought. It takes an
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: entire team to win a football game.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: Tom Brady always had good defenses. Yeah no, he didn't
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: always had a good offensive line.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: They all have to play their party, and not every
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: game is going to be won the same way.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But there's a reason. There's a saying that says a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: win is a win is a win.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: You take what you get, you take what the other
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: team's giving you, and you adapt and you make it work.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we've said it for several weeks in a row,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: practically every day on this show.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Or I have I like our quarterback as you, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: I'm glad that fourteen is playing for the Seahawks. Yes,
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: and I have every confidence he's going to get the
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: job done again this week. And yet I'm gonna have
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: to obviously repeat this for the next twelve straight days
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: because it continues to be a topic of conversation.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so be it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Hey going to the Super Bowl, right, Yeah, we're going
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: to the super Bowl. That's right, going to the Super
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: Bowl led by Sam Darnold as the quarterback. All right,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: let's find out what's on tap for the rest of
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: today's radio show.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: What's on TEP?
• 17:57

  Speaker 1: I wish he does football.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Celebrity type and I know that they don't have I
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: know CBS does not have the game that's going to
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: be NBC. Uh, but I think a lot of people
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: would like to have Gene on their radio shows. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: would agree might be the reason why he doesn't go.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's awesome.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, welleah, hebby wants to just sit and enjoy the
• 18:25

• 19:20

  Speaker 7: bit later on in the show at the top of
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: every hour for the rest of the day, for the
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: rest of our lives.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty is in the twelve day.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: So practice schedule was announced yesterday by Mike McDonald and
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: he's given guys a couple of days off.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of think that's smart.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: But putting together the game plan, he called John Harbaugh,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: his old mentor, to see what he does, what his
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: blueprint was for preparing for the Super Bowl and all
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: the other activities that take place. It's certainly not your
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: typical week leading up to a game, that's for sure. Uh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: And so making sure that the players are ready and
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: to go by kickoff and not exhausted from all the
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: extracurricular activities is a fine art. Mike Homer and will
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: tell you gotta you gotta play that the right way.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and to not know. I mean, that's one cool
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: thing about Mike McDonald's. He's not so proud that he's like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I have it all figured out. I think
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: that he does call upon mentors and call upon people
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that have been there and done that, and then runs
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it through the filter of how much he knows his
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: guys and what he thinks would benefit them. If if
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: there's one thing I don't have a concern about, it's
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: how he's going to handle anything that comes with Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: how what is best for your team to make sure
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: your team is coming out there and plays as you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: eleven as one or twelve as one like you was saying. So, yeah,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he'll he'll figure it out. I'm sure the Hawks are
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: going to be ready to rock and roll. And however
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: many sleeps it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Is, he certainly strikes me as a leave no stone
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: unturned kind of guy in his preparation. So I'm sure
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: he's analyzed it from every angle.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Analyzed it from every angle before he even won the
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: NFC Conference Championship game. I don't think we're going to
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: have a game in the Mike McDonald era. We're gonna
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: where We're gonna say, Man, he looks unprepared. Yeah, I
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: just don't think that's part of his makeup. Also from
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: your frostbreed cors like chews, Chill headlines, Cracking back in
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: action tonight they'll take all the Washington Capitals. They're going
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: to drop the puck at seven o'clock this evening. Krag
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: And have won two of their last three games. It's
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: been a strange, strange year for Lane Lambert even trying
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: to turn this thing around. Apparently that one loss in
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: between the two victories out of these last three games,
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Lambert called the worst we've played all season long.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: So they just they just.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: Can't find and stick with their groove. That's been the
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: problem thus far with the Capitals. Excuse me with the

• 28:49
  Speaker 10: and then by Thursday afternoon Friday, there's nothing Left've We've
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: done all the interviews. We've written a five hundred stories,
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: and then Friday and Saturday they are dark. It's just
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: the players are done with their media obligations and they're
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: just pretty much in their hotel. And so it's it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: a weird like call before the Storm type of thing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: I have the storm type of things. It is a
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: much different rhythm than than any other game in including
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: the playoffs. So yeah, there's an intensity to it, and
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: a lot of editors who usually are involved in news
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: stories and other things, are involved in planning stories and
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: they want this and what about this story? And what
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: about the electrical substation that is next to the stadium. Yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: I'm trying to explain to them, well, they're not practicing there,
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: and they're not have any word beer there.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: They're only playing. They're only playing a three hour game there.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: That's it. Yeah, so that kind of stuff.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll just say this, here's what I heard out
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: of this. I don't know what you heard out of that, Bucky.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: But yeah, it's gonna be a lot of hard work
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: for Greg Bell covering the Super Bowl, but it sounds
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: like there are plenty of pockets for him to party
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: with you hard in Santa Clara.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I heard. I haven't got to the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: power station. Guys are going to be down there, that's right,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: that's right. I haven't got an army grade.
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: My wife is gonna be down there too, so she
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: can check you guys out and see what this all
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: goes down.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Oh good, good, We'll all go to the power station
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: and risk our limbs.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I attends anymore.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: What's weird about next week is you guys are gonna
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: be at Radio Row and everything's gonna be in San
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: Francisco for all of you. Those of us cover the
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: team are gonna be in San Jose because everything down there.
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: The Seahawks are staying down there, their hotels in downtown
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: San Jose, the practicing at San Jose state them. Even
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: the first media Super Bowl Night whatever they call that thing,
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: the opening night, is in San Jose. There's nothing for
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: those who cover the teams in San Francisco. And for
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: those who aren't from the Bay Area, San Francisco and
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: San Jose might as well be Seattle and Portland. I mean,
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: is the traffic and how long it takes to get
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: to those places. So I'm staying in San Jose for
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: the first half of the until Thursday, because that's where
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: all once they're done with the media allegations Thursday, I'm
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: going to move up to San Francisco because it's just
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: a cooler and better place.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: To be than San Jose.
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: But yeah, it's a split deal, and most Super Bowls
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: are not like that.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be interesting to say the least.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I mean anything that you're reading into with Mike McDonald,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: how he's going to approach this whole thing. Obviously first
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: time for him. We just talked about how he's reached
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: out to some mentors and tried to figure some things out.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: But I also just feel like he's the type that
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: might have a couple of tricks up his sleeve or
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: things that he thinks are going to be difference makers
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: and getting ready for this with all the time off.
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, chasing edges.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: And I asked him.
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: I was the one who asked them about John Harbor yesterday,
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: because Harbor has of course been here and planned out
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: a Super Bowl and won one in twenty thirteen with
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: the Ravens, and McDonald was not on that staff yet.
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: He was still at the University of Georgia in the
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: middle of three years at the time theyde McDonald went
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: to the Ravens in twenty fourteen, he said, yeah, I'm
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: probably going to talk to John. I haven't talked to
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: him yet. He just got the New York Times job,
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: of course, But then I thought, you know what, he
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: also has a lot of Super Bowl coaching experience on
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: his own staff. Leslie Fraser was, of course in nineteen
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: eighty five Chicago Bears player in the Super Bowl, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: then he was a coach for the Indianapolis Colts when
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: Peyton Manning was there and they won the Super Bowl.
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: And then Rick Dennison has been the won three Super
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: Bowls with the Denver Broncos special teams coach ninety seven
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: ninety eight to John Oway years and then again about
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: ten years later he was the offensive coordinator for Denver
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: when they won.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: The Super Bowl.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: So he's been in there three times, and so they've
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: got experience on his own staff. Leslie Fraser, we don't
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: talk about him a lot. He's behind the scenes type
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: coach for this team, but he is the sounding board,
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: stage advisor. He's the Yoda for Mike McDonald and I
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: bet he is leaning. And he talked a little bit
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: about Leslie Fraser yesterday, but he's leaning on Fraser a ton. Okay,
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: we're gonna leave on Sunday.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: How should we practice this week?
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: Oh, let's give him Tuesday and most of Wednesday off.
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: Let's put him back on the field Thursday, and then
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: we'll go Thursday, Friday, Saturday, like it was a Wednesday, Thursday,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: Friday of a regular week. Get on a plane Sunday.
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: Monday will be basically physically an off day because they
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: have a media huha on Monday night at the Santesse
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: Convention Center, and then get back into the prepping and
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: practicing Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So it's those kind of chasing edges.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: He can probably do it his own staff, especially with
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: Leslie Fraser. He is a wealth of information and sounding
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: board for most of this team, and whenever McDonald has
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: a new idea or want to do something, he bounces
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: it off Leslie Fraser. But to your point, Buck, Yeah,
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: he's gonna call horrible, He's gonna talk to Fraser, He's
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: going to talk to Rick Dennison and his Super Bowl experiences.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: But he's going to do something that's Mike McDonald esk.
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: He's going to share that with us, But there's gonna
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: be something, whether it's a meeting or when they land
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: there or I don't know, food trucks at the airport tarmac.
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: Id on know something.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: They had food.
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: Trucks out there again yesterday for victory Monday.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: For instance, Greg bellis with us, our Seahawks insider, joining
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: us nearly every day all year long, seven o five
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: here to talk to Seahawks football. Of course, he can
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: get complete coverage of the Seahawks from Greg at the
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: Newstribune dot com. Can I mean, did did enough of
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: us scare get put into Reek Woolen that he was
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: almost the goat of the franchise on Sunday that maybe
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: finally the message has got clear about his antics after
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: plays or is this something that we got to worry
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: about heading into the Super Bowl, which is on a
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: bigger stage, more adrenaline, more hype, everything else, And he's
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: just inclined to talk trash after every tackle.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: I think it's the ladder.
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: I mean, he's a twenty four year old guy. He's
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: just he's emotional. He's into social media, he's into the
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: parents and optics of things. And the thing about this
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: league is once other teams know that's a thing. They
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: go you and try to lead you into that as
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: a competitive advantage. Same thing with DK Metcalf when he
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: was here all those years. Once the word gets out
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: on the street that this guy is talks and yaps o,
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: yap back and the Rams are yapping at him. At
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: the end of that play, you could see the sideline
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: that we're guys john at him too, But you just
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: have to have the discipline to walk away from it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: They he would have been. And I've been thinking about this.
• 36:02
  Speaker 11: Can we imagine a bigger goat in Seattle sports history,
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: somebody who did a singular act that sabotaged the championship?
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: I can't think of one because there's not.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: An extensive history. I'm not trying to slay Seattle, but
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: there's not extensive history of the Seahawks being or any
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: Seattle sports franchise in championship situations like Sunday.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: He would have gone down.
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: As the biggest goat in Seattle sports history if they
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: had they lost that game. And I think he does
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: understand that the brotherhood and the players and all of that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: Winning of course helps that. But they're saying that's what
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: they rallied around him for and the emotions of it
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: and all of that, But I don't know that there
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: needs to be a ton more said within the building
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: to him. He I think he gets how grave that
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: almost became. Yeah, it was short of it as Yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: he is just in his mid twenties. And I had
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: noticed he put out something on social media that addressed
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: it to the NFL and to the Seahawks that he
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: was sorry and please forgive him. And yeah, my son
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: said it was some meme from Madagascar or something.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: They made lie of it, And as I said yesterday,
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: I give him a lot of credit for even talking
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: about it and owning up to it, and a lot
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: of people, a lot of veteran players don't do that.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hopefully he figures it out, because I mean,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: he's got the talent, and it looks like he's rebounded
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: to some extent. But boy, that's just one of those
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: you don't want to wait and tell it costs you
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a chance to go to the Super Bowl or cost
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: you a super Bowl. Offensively, how it seems like everybody
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: that we've heard from since they won the NFC Championship game,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: it feels like almost everybody still has to almost like
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: end their conversation with something about supporting Sam Donald. Well,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: hopefully Sam Donald shut up all the haters out there.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, is this been some prevailing thing that they've
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: been paying attention to or is it something just recently
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: that they're like, I can't believe people are still harping
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: on this guy when we get the number one seed
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: and now we find ourselves in the Super Bowl.
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: No, they don't talk about it. They know it's out
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: there and they know people write and say and so
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: there was a little bit of each your crow at
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: the end of that game, and that's the first time
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: it's really come up. They have talked about since the
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: spring how much they are impressed by him and his
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: leadership and the fact that he has a little bit
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: of you know what to him. McDonald said that early
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: on in the spring about this and his leadership and
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: how people gravitate toward him and how likable he is
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: and all of that. And then when he started throwing
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: bombs to Smith's Jigua for eighteen hundred yards and they
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: started winning games since fourteen out of fifteen, they liked
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: them a lot more. And winning does that. So inside
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: the building. Honestly, inside the building and in the locker room,
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: people are like, what did people talk about this Sam
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: Darnold guy? He's pretty damn good? Why are everyone ripping him?
• 39:08
  Speaker 10: Because we love him, we trust him, and he freaking
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: wins games for sixteen and three.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: How could you complain and have issues with this guy?
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: Because since he's.
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: Gotten here, he's been pretty damn good. And that's kind
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: of the prevailing sense in the building is I don't
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: know what you all been talking about for seven years,
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: because this is one of the best quarterbacks franchises ever.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: At Creg bellis with us our Seahawks insider twelve days
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: away from Super Bowl sixty Seahawks versus the New England
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: Patriots will save the Patriots for a later on this week.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: I want to ask you, I mean, look, you handle
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: this job very professionally. I know that you try not
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: to put emotion, but you can't help but like guys
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: and maybe not like guys that you cover when you're
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: around them on a daily basis.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: So I asked.
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: This without any knowledge of where you're at with this
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: individual player, but where does Jaren Reid rank on the
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: guys that you're happiest for with Sunday's victory and heading
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl.
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: I really like Jaren Reid and he has come full circle.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: I've watched it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: He arrived in twenty sixteen, and so I watched him
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: as a young post college guy in his early twenties.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: He went through an NFL suspension and a police investigation
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: for an alleged domestic violence issue, and was persona non
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: grata in many ways. He has his own side of
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: that story we don't have to get back to. He
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: has matured and now he has a family with young children,
• 40:47
  Speaker 10: and it's just from a real life perspective, it's really
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: cool to see people grow up and in this business
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: when you especially players have been playing if they're fortunate
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: enough to play for ten plus years, which not many are,
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: you don't get the opportunity in my business to see
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: guys enter the NFL and then ten twelve years later
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: you still see him playing back with the same club
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: you're covering. That's rare. Guys don't stick around for twin
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: ten twelve years with the same team very often. Usually
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: you see it with quarterbacks more so, it's different with
• 41:22
  Speaker 10: a defensive lineman who's become the locker room soul of
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: the team. This is a little bit of a reckless comparison,
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: but he's a little bit like he's this He's the
• 41:33
  Speaker 10: modern Marshawn Lynch. As far as being the soul of
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: this team, Marshaw Lynch was the soul of the legion
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: of Boom teams and those Super Bowl teams. And I
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: mean he was the locker room, the center of the
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: locker room, the most respected, revered player, just dispensing wisdom
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: at his locker Everyone else knew Marshawn Lynch for his
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: persona and his people opinion about him, but he at
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: the core was the soul of those title teams. That's
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: what j Reid is a lot of for this team.
• 42:03
  Speaker 10: They all gather around him at the end of the
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: pregame in the locker room after the game and McDonald
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: says his things after wins and then he asked Jared
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: Reid for his input every time. McDonald realized right away
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: how everyone in the locker.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Room gravitated toward Jared.
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: I'm talking offense, defense, rookies, wide receivers, everybody, and McDonald
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: was smart to make him the team pied piper and
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: spokesman inside the locker room, and he leans on him
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: quite a bit and the players respond to him. So
• 42:39
  Speaker 10: now he's a sage old, thirty two year old guy.
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: Even Leonard Williams looks up to him, who's been in
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: the league, and DeMarcus Lawrence, who's been in the league
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: for eleven twelve years, because of one his seniority here,
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: he's the only one who played with the end of
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: the legion of Boom twenty sixteen, the back end of
• 42:55
  Speaker 10: those back to back Super Bowl teams, and he's been
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: in the league bouncing around with Green Bay and the
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: city and come back. So he's seen this evolution that
• 43:04
  Speaker 10: John Schneider and Jody Allen have undergone from the Pete
• 43:07
  Speaker 10: Carroll era changing the culture with Mike McDonald.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Jared Reed is a unique perspective of that.
• 43:13
  Speaker 10: He's a joy to talk to. He usually has this
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: very no nonsense yet whimsical the way he turns phrases.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: He's laughing the things he says, and Yeah, I could
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: go on a long time for Jared Reed.
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: He is a big, big reason that they are what
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: they are in their chemistry inside that locker room.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: He's the Elmers guy. He's the glue inside there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: All right, great stuff, Thank you, sir, We appreciate it.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: We'll do this again tomorrow.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Happy Tuesday.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Greg Bell.
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: I see oks inside of joining us right here on
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Chuck and Buck in the morning's great stuff with from
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: him on Jaron Reid and all sorts of angles to
• 43:54

  Speaker 9: going to the Super Bowl.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Gene, I want you to listen very carefully here right now, we're.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Going to the Durber Bowl.
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: Jay, I love it awesome, what an atmosphere goud so.
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: Great, unbelievable, And what a team. I mean, they're just
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: such a fun team to follow. And I don't get
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: too wrapped up in things like that. Like emotionally, I've
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: always kind of been sort of the even Keel sportscasters
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: sports talk show os. But man, this team is really
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: easy to root for. Geane, I think even you can
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: see that from your.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Seat one thousand percent.
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: And I think the beauty of it really is when
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: cities then and fan bases really just start to really
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: engage the way it is, it becomes a special thing
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: that not every city gets a chance to enjoy. So
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: I know it's happened before, but man, what a great
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: time right now for everybody in the Upper Northwest.
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: We got things to get into. But is there a
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: chance that you're going to be there at Super Bowl
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: Week so we could have you on the show in person.
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: I actually will be there and I would love to
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: do that with you guys.
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: Now I am.
• 46:44
  Speaker 9: I do. I work Westwood One with Kevin Harlan and
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: Kurt Warner on the years that CBS does it broadcast
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: the Super Bowl. I do do it for radio, which
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: is very fun to do from an analyst position the
• 46:56
  Speaker 9: radio piece. But I will be getting in on Friday,
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: so if you want to try to collaborate a little bit,
• 47:02
  Speaker 9: I don't know when you guys, I'm assuming you'll be
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: on radio row.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, at some point.
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: But I would love to be able to hook up.
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: I don't know what I'll get to specifics and go
• 47:11
  Speaker 9: through it with Ashley, but yeah, if we can pull
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: that off, it to be great.
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: Well, at the very least, we need to go clubbing
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: with Harlan and Warner later.
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: Come in, coach, come in, put me in.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Jeans. I can't even remember the last time I went.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: To clubin Jan's territor is with us right here on
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: Chuck and Buck in the mornings. All right, Well, let's
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: talk about something that didn't make us too happy here
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: in Seattle.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: We had a cornerback that decided.
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: You know, taunting's more important than making it to the
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: super Bowl, and Reek wollen kind of lost his marbles
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: there for a little while. I mean, he since apologized,
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: but this isn't the first time that he has done
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: something like this, and certainly we're a little concerned heading
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: into the super Bowl on a bigger stage. But let's
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: with you talk about the situation itself, because there has
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: been some conversation on our radio station that maybe the
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: official should have done more to Steerreek Woolen away from
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: his conduct his activity. It was too big of a game,
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: too big of a moment to throw a fifteen yard
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: penalty in that situation. So I would ask you, did
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: the official have any choice in that matter than to
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: throw a flag based off of Woolen's conduct.
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: From the officiating side, I would tell you it's too
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: big of a moment to let your emotions get to
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: a place where you could affect the outcome of the game.
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: So I would say that from like our window. Now,
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: that official that happened to be on that sideline is
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: Kent Paign who's been in this league for twenty plus
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: years and is a fantastic official, and I think if
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: you really watch it, you can see him almost try
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: to talk him off the ledge there once or twice.
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: In games like that, when you do have high emotion,
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: which definitely championships carry, you know, when those situations arise,
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: you do want to verbally get to that player as
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: quickly as you can and try to talk about the ledge,
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: understanding the you know the amount of emotion and intensity
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: that's happening in real time. But once you do do
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: that and then they take another bite at the apple
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: and another bite at the apple, then it's not really
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, at that point, now, it's a flag, right,
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, and it's a control element these games. Players
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: emotionally physically understand so much, most of them that they
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: have to go play right at the edge to.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Be able to move on.
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: But within that, and I think it does differ a
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: little sometimes in the postseason as opposed to high intensity games.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: In the regular season.
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: They are also very aware of the magnitude of what
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: penalties are and a lot of people say, well, is
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: there less penalties and the postseason and the rest letting
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: them play? Not really, it's it's a lot of it
• 50:04
  Speaker 9: goes to the players so that they know that they
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: can go right to that edge. They're that good and
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: what constitutes a file a lot of times and what doesn't.
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: But they also have to play to that edge all
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: the time. So you do live in that violence constantly
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: through games like that, and emotionally the same. And I
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: think what we saw on the sideline, although you know,
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: we take those clips and see players kind of talking
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: to each other in a pretty intense fashion, but then
• 50:28
  Speaker 9: regroup again and understand it. I would say the fact
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: that he's already recognized where he went and knew it
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: was too far, it's probably the best thing. In hindsight,
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: now that could happen because the Super Bowl is going
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: to be emotional, But you would hope that his memory
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: serves him well. But he will play that intense with
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: just a little less of maybe a wolfing that takes
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: place after a big play.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: You know, you know how difficult is it. I mean,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: you've we've heard you over the last couple of years
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: discuss how you talk to your crew about we're looking
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: for wales, not minnos. And yet every play, every flag,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I mean one in the first quarter, could be the
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: difference between a game and not. I mean, there's so
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: much riding on every single play, and so how difficult
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: is it to make sure you're kind of following that
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: creed and over the course of a playoff game when
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: it feels like every single play has so much on
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: the line.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: That is it, Bucky Like, that's exactly what you're hoping
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: that the crew itself is prepped for and ready to
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: put into action. When you have those big meetings on
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: the day before, a couple of days before, and you're
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: trying to instill that thought process and that digestion knowing
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: what that environment's going to be. You know, again, I
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: was up there for a great NFC Championship game that
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: had a ton of intensity when Richard Sherman and Crabtree
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: had their own personal battle and talking almost on every play, right,
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: So you prep for that. You you try to get
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: to the players before the game a little letting them,
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: you know, know, kind of that place. And then you
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: hope the officiating collectively everybody's kind of on that same page.
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: And and really if there's bang bang plays that you
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: want to take that breath and digest it. If it
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: if it's a foul, it's a foul, but we want
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: to make sure like it's a whale, it's it's a
• 52:27
  Speaker 9: it's a big play, it's it's going to be a
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: big foul. And uh And I think really overall, I
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: think we have seen I would say that overall that
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: I think the postseason has served itself like that. Now
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: There's always going to be a few plays, but I
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: do think the officials have arisen to that level in
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: most most cases to which is great for the game.
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: And I think you try to instill that through the
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: regular season, you know, if you can. And it's a
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: little more challenging over twenty weeks than it is maybe
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: in these two or.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Three and that's a whale.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: So we're all going to agree that that was a
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: whale and the official made the right call. I would
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: just ask, and this is on behalf of another one
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: of our colleagues, would you have gone a little further
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: than he did to try to convince, you know, maybe
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: even go up to Reek right in his face and
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: kind of steer him away. Is that something that gene
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: Sterotre might have done to try to save Rik Woolen
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: from that terrible moment in a big game?
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's other elements that would play there,
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: chuck to you know, as the play just ends, is
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: that official caught up in a different scenario there?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: How far is he away from him?
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: And those types of things, I think when the moment
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: if it's everything's down and you just see it happen
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: there in isolation and you're within proximity. I was a
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: talker as well, you know, I was a louder official
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: than most. So verbally, I have no problem yelling from
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: fifteen yards away, you know, but other people are different. Well,
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: so you know, I always tried to attack those places
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: as much as I could, But you also have to
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: finish the play, there are other things happening there, so
• 54:10
  Speaker 9: you know, I never like to say, and I think
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: if you watch that play and you do look at
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: it as much as it hurts, it's like, dude, you
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: went back at the entire bench two to three times, now,
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: like you know, one or maybe.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: One, maybe one and a half.
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: As I'm walking you away, right, maybe we can go there.
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: But this was just too much. And that's part of
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: his game is controlling your emotions in this intensity as well.
• 54:36
  Speaker 9: So it's not just you know, whether I pass interfered
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: you or not. There's other elements.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: Geene stertors with US CBS rules Analyst, greatest NFL official
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: of all time, and he joins us every single week
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: at this time to talk about some of the more
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: controversial calls from the weekend of football that was and
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: we still have the biggest call of the weekend to
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: get to. I'll let Bucky handle that one, but I
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: do want to ask you about one more more of
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks plays. There was a PI. I mean, it
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: looked about as obvious as it could look, Gene.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: It was late in the.
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: Game, fourth quarter, Seahawks are driving, trying to melt as
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: much clock as they possibly can, and they ruled the
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: ball uncatchable. That hit our receiver in the helmet for
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: goodness sake, and there was no doubt that Lake the
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: defender was there early and he just pushed him out
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: of bounds. How did that get called uncatchable in your estimation?
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: In my estimation, I just think it was such a
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: unique play that maybe it just maybe caught those officials
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: on the side of the little off court because it
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: wasn't your normal flavor of an early contact play. Because
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: the receiver is positioning himself to know he has to reach, extend,
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: keep both feet or toes down on this ground to
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: make this play on a football. In my opinion, at
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: this level, that's a catchable ball. They may they can
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: make that play right, but I do think that again
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: this is speculation because it was an unusual type of
• 56:08
  Speaker 9: a situation. It may have taken them to uncatchable a
• 56:11
  Speaker 9: little quicker.
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: Than you may think.
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: But there was always another one of those little things
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: that the veterans would tell us as when we were younger,
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: is in the NFL, when you doubt whether they could
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: do something or not, they did it or they can
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: do it. And I think This was one of those cases, right, like, no,
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: this football is three and a half four yards out
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: of bounds and he's toes are back here, and he
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: possibly catch that more than likely. The answer in the
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: NFL is yeah, he can and get it two toes
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: in so but I do think maybe the uniqueness of
• 56:43
  Speaker 9: how that unfolded maybe prompted them in a reactionary fashion
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: to think that's just not a catchable ball. But we
• 56:50
  Speaker 9: can see when we look back, I think he can
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: make that play, you know, so I do agree with
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: you it should have been a pikay.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I am going to go to the Dever New England game.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: There was a play that resulted in the only touchdown
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: that New England got against Denver's defense was after that
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: play in the second quarter. I think he's pretty familiar
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: with it. Yeah, I know, I heard for what it's worth.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Even being a diehard Bronco fan, I think it was
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: the right call. And yet I want to get an
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: explanation on it, just simply because there's a lot of
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: people that their fandom overrides their their you know, proper judgment.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: There's no way that's not a backwards path. He was
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: trying to throw it forwards. It was when he kind
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: of shovel passes it and his hands hit but I
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: think that they hit it before the ball comes out
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: of his hands. To me, I think it was the
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: right call. And yet what's the explanation from from the
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: goat of all officials on that one.
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: You know, I would say this to you, Bucky, and again,
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: we all try to get better at what we do,
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: and as an analyst, I'm in that same place. Right
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: There was a lot to unpack on that play. Within
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: an instant of that play ending, you know, you're watching
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: that play and in real time you see Cox kept
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: the referee immediately upon that pushing and he's working the
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: play and the quarterback. You can see his flag come
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: right out right when that push forward pass and his
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: assessment took place, which took me rather quickly and really,
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: in hindsight a little too quickly. As soon as they
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: started the conference and they threw to me on air,
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: I was already digesting what the officials were talking about initially,
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: and that was the referee ruled this was a forward pass.
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: He also went old school and said it was not
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: only an unconventional but forward pass. There's no receiver in
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: the area. That's why I have a flag for intentional
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: grounding on the field. And he also started blowing the
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: play dead naturally, because it has to be dead if
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: you have intentional grounding. It's a forward pass. And then
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: the collective conferencing that took place then was the second
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: piece of that after I had already made my first
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: assessment that while look at.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: This angle and those angles on.
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: Forward backward pass, as all of us know that what's
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: the game, many times they really look forward and then
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: you look back and go, wow, look at that angle.
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: That ball is lateral or backward, just based on where
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: his hand went and where the ball landed or those situations.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: And I agree with you.
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: When I got an angle, then a little maybe the
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: third or fourth angle, you could see stid them unconventionally
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: in a Brett fah fashion, just trying to do the
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: shovel thing forward. But I do agree with you that
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: the defender contacted his arm prior to the ball releasing,
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: which kind of pushed his hands in a lateral way
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: or potentially even a little more backward. So then you
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: have now no intentional grounding. You have a backward pass.
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: You basically have a whistle inadvertently and in the immediate
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: continuing action, the defense recovers this backward pass, so they
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: get the football as we know, and not the advancement.
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: I would say procedurally, the criticism I would have would
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: be on plays of that magnitude, and we had it
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: the week before with Denver and the catch interception play.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: I think the NFL would be served better to then
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: take the three minutes, have a formal review of the play,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: let the referee on the field way in with in
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: collaboration the replay official New York, and digest this play
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: and its totality before we make that final judgment. And
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: I had that with zach Ertz in the Super Bowl,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: where initially some heads in the collaboration said it wasn't
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: a touchdown, but after discussing it and breaking it down,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 9: we realized that it was a touchdown. So I think
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 9: for the integrity of it, for the process of it,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: and really for the confidence for everybody, you stop the
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: game there, you let the referee go to the iPad
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: now not under the hood, and then you have a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: collaborative discussion and come out with a formal response. But
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: I do think they got it right and I thought
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: they got it right the week before as well. But
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: the procedure, I think is something that should be discussed.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: How enjoyable is it that you have that complicated of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: a play and you're allowed like fifteen seconds to explain
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 7: it on television.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: It's completely horrified, right, and again, you know, I think
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: the truth of it is again, look, the one thing
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 12: I love about being an older person and having something
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 12: relatively new in my life, that's.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Very challenging to do.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: And when you only get one bite at the apple too, right,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: just like when I ref that's really what I was
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: addicted too long with it. I think in those situations
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: it serves me better when I get thrown to after
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 9: four seconds and the play ending, it's maybe to preface
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: that with you know, there's an awful lot to unpack here,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: so let's take a breath and it start to break
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: them down, as opposed to coming up with one answer
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: and then seeing the fourth anglane changing, which just allows
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: all those really kind people on social media and everything
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: else to say so many nice things about you and
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: your family. Then because you're just a show for the
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: NFL and whatever the rest say, go along with it,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: you know. But lessons learned and you get better at it,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: hopefully every every week or every scenario. But it is
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: it is rather challenging, though pun intended to have to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: weigh in rather quickly on plays with that with those
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: many tentacles, you know.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how was this? Was that more challenging?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 7: Or the getting out of the stadium with eleven inches
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: of snow dumping in about fourteen minutes.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 13: That was challenging, But probably the most challenging was getting
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: back to southwestern Pennsylvania in twenty plus inches of snow
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 13: at all, and thank you know, thank god.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 9: My wife is an amazing human being and decided to
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 9: shovel pieces of it and then watched me sit on
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: a plow last night for about three hours, short to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: get the car of the garage. But it was it's
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: been a challenging week. Yeah, many ways.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how about it.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: Gene has a plow, think more of them, think more
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: of them as a as a man that he owns
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: a plow.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: I do, Yeah, I thought, so you might work smarter,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: out harder, Jeane.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: You go, that's right, that's exactly right.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: The only thing I would have been more impressed with
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: if you were, like I got the team out and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: the horses, and I just yeah, we just yeah, I got.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, delivered Budweiser to everybody in the neighborhood.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: I think the horses would have looked at me last night.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: We're like, you're on your own, big guy. I'm not
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: going out there tonight.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: That's a little cold, and and that's those a little
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 9: higher than normal.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, sir, great stuff.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: As always, we do appreciate you, and we'll we'll talk
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: to you again.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: And super Bowl right around the corner, so you know
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: where we'll be.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: I can't wait. I hope to see you guys there.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Have a great week, all right. Jean Stator joining us
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: If you are looking for a newer use BMW or
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: something else, even go check out the inventory at BMWC,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: conveniently located between I five and nine ninety near the stadiums.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, God, love Gene, but I mean you can
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: hear he can talk. Yeah, guy's got a gift. Yes,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: you can give him a play. And believe me, he's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: editing himself down when he comes on because he realizes
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: we don't have all the time in the world, right
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure that if you let Gene go, he
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: could have talked about that complicated Bronco play for four
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: and a half straight days, Yeah, without even days, yes, days,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 7: And yet they ask him Jim Nance with his mock
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 7: turtleneck and Tony Romo with his weird growth beneath his nose.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 7: They're sitting there saying, Gene, fix this. You've got seven
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: seconds go. Yeah, difficult that that's got to be for jeane' sterotor.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: And then people want to criticize our guy.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Imagine on social media.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Imagine a between Hugh and Gene.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Oh over the tie, over the prequel and play alone.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just that.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Just start him at eight. We can take the rest
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: of the day off.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Well, it gets to the Super Bowl.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 7: By the time Bucky heard the end of that conversation.
• 1:05:11

  Speaker 7: ever fits you joins us here on Chuck and Buck,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: Good morning, sir.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 14: Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 14: figure something out. A lot of people the last couple
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 14: of days have been talking about a Super Bowl.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: I'm a little confused as to what I mean. Is
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: it like for soup?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 14: I know it's a little chilly, chuck, I've never seen one, so,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 14: but I'm just curious.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: Is it like a like like a big gulp.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: It's not really a bull.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 7: It's the it's the game at the end of the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: football season that will determine the champion. Yeah, champion, the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: champion of the entire football season, the.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Best of that entire year. Uh, yeah, they got it.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: It's actually ever you might be surprised to learn it's
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: a pretty big deal, is it.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, wow, this is all This is all news to me.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: I remember growing.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Up hockey, guys.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 14: I tell you there was a big Bowl game in
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 14: Detroit two thousand and six. I remember that, but my
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 14: football team wasn't it. So I thought it was weird
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 14: that there were two random teams playing in Detroit that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 14: neither one of them were the Lions.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: That weird.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 7: So as far as our tongues are tucked in our cheeks,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: right now. If there is a fan out there that
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: doesn't know what the Super Bowl is, it might be
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: a Detroit Lions fan.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: And you can't have one out and the other. Let's
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: also throw some shade on Cleveland as well.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: All right, well, let's talk some crack and hockey. I mean,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: they're not playing championship hockey right now. I'm not sure
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: they have all season long. I'm not sure they haven't
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: really since the birth of the organization. And yet they
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 7: are trying to find their way and they've won two
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: of their last three. They sandwiched in between their a
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: game that Lane Lambert called the worst we've played all
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 7: season long. Obviously, this team is at a difficult time
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 7: just kind of we're really good and we're gonna play
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: that way the rest.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Of the year.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 7: But are you starting to see that maybe there's something
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: to believe in here in this two out of three?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 5: I think there is.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 14: And for me, I've said this from day one. Your
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 14: goal this season, outside of making the playoffs, your floor,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 14: your absolute basement moment for the Crack in this season,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 14: was to be playing meaningful games in March. You know,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 14: game sixty, game seventy, need to matter, need to mean something.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: The Crackton tonight are going into game fifty two, three
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 14: points back of a playoff spot, with five games including tonight,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 14: five games left until the Olympic break. So you're gonna
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 14: be potentially going into your three week Olympic break next
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 14: week in a playoff spot or just outside if you
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 14: keep playing.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: The way you're playing right now. So for all intents and.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 14: Purposes, it's been a successful you know, first half first,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 14: you know, sixty percent of the season.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: But they have to keep it up.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 14: And I mean there's a lot of trade rumors swirling
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 14: around amongst a few other a few players.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: On the roster and what have you. But I think
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, if you're if you're
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: in that.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 14: Locker room, you might not be happy with the way
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 14: that you're playing in recent weeks, recent games, and even
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 14: weeks recent week, but you're overall happy with the position
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 14: that you've put yourself in, three points out of a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 14: playoff spot, with a chance against a struggling Capital's team tonight,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 14: a middling Least team on Thursday, and then three big
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 14: divisional games on the road next week to put yourself
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 14: back in a playoff spot going into the Olympic great
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 14: FITZI how does it?
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: How does this team? I mean, why are they so streaky?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: They'll go through spurts where they're they're allowing one or
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: two goals, and and they're in those games obviously anytime
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: you allow one or two, you got a chance. And
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: then they'll go through spurts where they're giving up four
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: or five, six goals for a stretch. I mean, how
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: are they so streaky when it comes to that part
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that you know, that's that's the million dollar question.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 14: And I think for this team, you know, there's a
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 14: lot of numbers that that tell the story for Seattle. Offensively,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 14: this team's got to score three to four goals that's
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 14: the magic number the crack in this season, or twelve
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 14: to and oh, now thirteen to two and oh when
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 14: they score four more goals. So it seems like if
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 14: they can get over that three and a half goal hump,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 14: that they're going to win more often than not. I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 14: think defensively, a lot of it rests on the system
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 14: and the structure that has played. But Lane Lambert has
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 14: said all season long, our goalies have to be our
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 14: best players and a certain at a certain point, it
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 14: almost seems unfair because you're asking your goaltenders on most
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 14: Knights to have near perfect games. And even Lane has
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 14: said that, some of the coaches, some of the even
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: players have said that about the goalies. It's like, you know,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 14: they unfortunately they don't get to have a quote unquote
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 14: bad game, even though every goalies has a bad game,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 14: you know. Philip Grubauer, Joey Dcord, we were talking last week.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 14: They may have gone through a bit of a dip,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 14: but even their dip wasn't that much of a major problem,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 14: major issue for Seattle because they both rebound in the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 14: last week and have allowed i want to say, three
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 14: goals in their last couple of starts each. So for Seattle,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 14: I mean, it's a combination of needing to always be
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: at the top of their game just because of the style,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 14: the system that they play, the personnel that they have.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: And then also it's the schedule.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 14: I mean, listen, you're in the middle of twenty one
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 14: games or twenty nine games and forty some odd days
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 14: like that is a very tough schedule. You're playing every
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 14: other day for a month going into the All Star
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 14: or the Olympic break. So there aren't two days off
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 14: in between teams games. You're not getting a lot of
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 14: practice time either. So they had an off day yesterday,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 14: They're gonna have a full morning skate here in a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 14: couple of hours, and then they're gonna go out and
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: play a game tonight. They'll probably have a light optional tomorrow,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 14: same thing on Thursday, and then they leave for Vegas
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 14: on Friday. So it's been a very tough season from
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 14: that perspective. But like I said, where they are right now,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 14: you have to be happy with the results overall that
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 14: you're getting.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 7: Everett fitzu is, whether it's Voice of the Kraken, proud Father,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 7: also somebody newly educated to the existence of the Super Bowl.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: All of that true here today on Chuck and back.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: In the mornings.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 7: Why would they even consider trading Shane Wright? There are
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: rumors out there suggesting that that might be in play.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, listen, there has been no secret over
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 15: the last year and a half that this team needs
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 15: a dynamic, playmaking top six forward.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's almost a mandate moving forward.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 14: And I've always said, if you're looking for that type
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: of player, you need to work the problem backwards and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 14: if you're an opposing team, you look at the Krakens
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 14: roster and you're saying, well, who do I want in return?
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 14: I'll use Shane Wright as an example. He's a former
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 14: fourth overall pick. He's twenty two years old, He's got
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 14: a lot of runway, a lot of career left. He's
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 14: a player that can still be molded and shaped. And
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 14: you know, I don't think we're we've even scratched the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 14: surface of what Shane Wright can do.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: I think that he's got thirty goal seasons ahead of him.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 14: I think he's got multiple sixty seventy point seasons ahead
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 14: of him. But if you're the Seattle Kraken wanting to
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 14: get better up front, immediately you're going to have to
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 14: lose a player like Shane Right in that same category.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 14: Not saying that the Kraken are, you know, wanting to
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 14: trade Shane Right. Not saying that they're going to trade
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 14: Shane Right. And he had a great answer in his media.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Scrum last week.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 14: He said, no offense to you guys in the media,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 14: but you can't always trust what they say. So just
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 14: because that is being out there in the noise, and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 14: all that noise is outside that doesn't mean internally, Ron
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 14: Francis or Jason Bostral has pulled him aside and said, hey, man,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 14: we're dealing with you. We have no idea what's going
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 14: on behind closed doors. So he's he's taking a really
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 14: good approach to it, a really mature approach to it.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 14: For for as far as I'm concerned, Shane Right is
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 14: a cracking He's going to be a kraken and until
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 14: he's not, and you know, hopefully he's here for a
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 14: long time. But that's what happens, you know, when you've
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 14: got good players and you're trying to improve your team.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 14: You know, I've said it before, I would love to
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: give two seventh round picks for Connor McDavid. Not gonna happen.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 14: You're gonna have to find active, good pieces on your
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 14: roster to upgrade on certain positions, and based on what
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 14: you're hearing in the media and then the ether, Shane
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 14: Wright is one of those pieces that has been drawing
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 14: a lot of attention from around the league.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 7: It's gonna be our just to find a seller. I mean,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: you mentioned earlier the Washington Capitals have been of a slump,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 7: and yet there are four games over five hundred, but
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 7: it looks like everybody in the NHL is four games
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 7: over five. It's very strange to stare at the NHL
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 7: standings right now. Why are the Capitals above five hundred
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 7: and yet you would describe them as a struggling team
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: right now?
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 14: Well, because the Eastern Conference is really tough, it's top heavy.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 14: But a lot of the teams, like the Capitals, I mean,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 14: they're only what six points five points back of a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 14: playoff spot, so I mean in in in reality, they're
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 14: they're right in the thick of it.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: But because of what.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 14: They're facing out East, and because of their schedules the
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 14: Eastern Conference, these teams just beat up on each other.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: Because you're so close.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 14: It is really easy to pick up a Pittsburgh in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 14: a Philadelphia and.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: A Carolina and a Washington in a Tampa.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 14: You're you're playing divisional games and interconference games. It seems
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 14: like more often than you're not, even though it's the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 14: exact same number out in the Western Conference. But because
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 14: you're so close to one another, and I think for
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 14: the Capitols too, they're a team that's getting older.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: Ove's can you know a lot of folks feel that
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: this is going to be his last season.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 14: You know, I can see a world he's at He's
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 14: at nine to eighteen career goals right now. I mean,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 14: I could see a world that if he finds a
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 14: way to get to nine to forty this year, maybe
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 14: he comes back next season and chases a thousand goals.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 14: But even that's I think, very very much out of
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 14: the question. But they've got a very old team. They've
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 14: been around, their core has been around for a long time,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 14: and I think they're at the end of this window
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 14: and and they're gonna have to try and retool on
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 14: the fly to avoid, you know, going back into a
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 14: dark slump like they were before Ovechkin twenty some odd
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 14: years ago.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: So but but you're right, the league is insane this year.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 14: I think there's five teams total, five out of thirty
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 14: two that I would say are out of the playoff race.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 14: And even the teams that are out of the player
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 14: raise their four or five win win streak away from
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 14: getting right back into it. So that's why for the krack.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 14: And you've got five games left between the between now
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 14: and the Olympic break. You need to go into that
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 14: break either in a playoff spot or minimally.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: Two points back.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 14: Because after the deadline, which is gonna be March thirteenth ish,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 14: after the trade deadline, this team goes from this league,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 14: rather goes from a.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: Three to two league to a two to one league overnight.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 14: Almost You've got a ton of three point games and
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 14: movement becomes a lot harder. So it's not gonna it's
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 14: not gonna stop, and I think the Cracking are gonna
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 14: be in this thing until the wire. This could come
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 14: down to the last five games of the season where
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 14: there's still four playoff spots up for grabs.
• 1:19:46

  Speaker 7: r f M. I've got a trick shoulder now, yeah,

  Speaker 2: You've heard of trick knees.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, my knees are fine. I think I've got a
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 7: trick shoulder. Just all of a sudden, just starts hurting
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 7: out of nowhere.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden. Well, what happens when you wear
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: back and throw cheese when you're ten to twelve? Is
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: that what came back to haunt me. You didn't do
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: those armband things or have a water globe like Logan
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: Gilbert did you? I did not?
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 7: And my way, my father actually did encourage me to
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 7: do that. He was a big believer in those rubber bands. Yeah,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 7: and you were like, I wanted to throw iron.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: Funks away. Watch these kids have with go Teah.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 7: By the way, I don't know, I don't know if
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 7: all twelve year olds are this way, but I.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Was really stupid. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much knew nothing.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: I thought I knew everything. It's all of us them,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: twelve year old, all of us, all of them.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: I'd say it's really more like five to eighteen.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: I was still pretty dumb even at eighteen, five.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: To twenty five, Like twenty five, five to forty, Really
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 8: I don't know everything.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should start listening to these adults.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 8: Oh see, I started learning everything when I was twenty.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 8: That's when I that's when I started. That's when I
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 8: knew everything.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 8: Now I've just known even more than everything. So it's
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 8: pretty incredible.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 7: In other words, five to fifty it is pretty much
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 7: the window where people think they know everything.
• 1:22:26

• 1:24:10
  Speaker 7: let's talk about Reek walland let's just discuss Sunday and
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 7: then how it affects next Sunday, and let's just get
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: this conversation out of the way. I know he wants
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 7: to put it behind him, but I don't think that
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 7: Seork fans are ready to put it behind them yet.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: I think there's more to this conversation.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 7: We got a lot of input, a lot of intel
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: over the course of the last thirty six hours since
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 7: this all happened. So let's have the conversation and then
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: maybe we don't discuss it again.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I think that would be great.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: That'd be great.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's pop up talk it out and then let's
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: talk it out.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 8: But hopefully we never have to discuss it again, because
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 8: nothing like that ever happens again.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: That would be great.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 7: Obviously, Reek Wolland came close to being the goat of
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 7: Sunday's game for his selfish act in which he decided
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 7: to taunt the Rams their sideline after stopping them on
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 7: third and twelve. He made the play that kept them
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 7: from a first down, and it really did feel like
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 7: a game's over moment. I mean, still fourth quarter remaining.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 7: It was the end of the third quarter. You were
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 7: up two scores at that point, and you're going to
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 7: be getting the ball back because the Rams were certainly
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: going to punt. They weren't in go for it mode
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 7: yet at that time in the game. It really did
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 7: feel like, man, we just closed the door on them,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 7: except for one problem. Rik Wolan decided to open the
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: door back up. Selfishly, went to the sidelines, taunted the
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 7: entire Rams sideline, and the official ended up getting getting
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: him for a fifteen yard unsportsmanlike penalty. Gave them a
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 7: fresh set of the downs. They ended up going down
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 7: and scoring, and then we have a game on our
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 7: hands again. And it was nail bider all the way
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 7: down the stretch. So we did have our conversations yesterday.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 7: Nobody was defending Rik Woolan's actions. There was a converse you.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: Millan brought up the fact that he thought that the
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 7: official could have handled that situation better and in such
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 7: a big moment, in such a big game, maybe been
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 7: a little more hands on to drive Riek Woolen away
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 7: from receiving that penalty, that he could have walked him
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 7: out of that situation, and he felt that the official
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 7: came up short. Well, our official guy we trust to
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 7: make this call. His CBS rules analyst jeens Sterotor. He
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: was with us at eight o'clock this morning. Here's what
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 7: he thought of it.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 9: From the officiating side, I would tell you it's too
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 9: big of a moment to let your emotions get to
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 9: a place where you could affect the outcome of the game.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 9: So I would say that from like our window now,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: that official that happened to be on that sideline as
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 9: Kent Paign, who's been in this league for twenty plus
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: years and is a fantastic official, And I think if
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: you really watch it, you can see him almost try
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: to talk him off the ledge there once or twice.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 9: In games like that, when you do have high emotion,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 9: in which definitely championships carry, you know, when those situations arise,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 9: you do want to verbally get to that player as
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 9: quickly as you can and try to talk them off
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: the ledge. Understanding you know the amount of emotion and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 9: intensity that's happening in real time. But once you do
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: do that, and then they take another bite at the
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: apple and another bite at the apple. Then it's not
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: really I mean at that point, now it's a flag, right,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, And it's a control element these games. Players
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 9: emotionally physically understand so much, most of them that they
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: have to go play right at the edge to be
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: able to move on. But within that, and I think
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: it does differ a little sometimes in the postseason as
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: opposed to high intensity games in the regular season. They
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: are also very aware of the magnitude of what penalties
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 9: are and a lot of people say, well, is there
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 9: less penalties in the postseason and the rest letting them play?
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: Not Really, It's a lot of it goes to the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 9: players so that they know that they can go right
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 9: to that edge. They're that good and what constitutes a
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 9: file a lot of times and what doesn't. But they
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 9: also have to play to that edge all the time.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 9: So you do live in that violence constantly through games
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 9: like that, and emotionally the same. And I think what
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: we saw on the sideline, although you know, we take
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: those clips and see players kind of talking to each
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 9: other in a pretty intense fashion, but then regroup again
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 9: and understand it. I would say the fact that he's
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 9: already recognized where he went and knew it was too far.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: It's probably the best thing in hindsight now that could happen,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 9: because the super Bowl is going to be emotional. But
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 9: you would hope that his memory serves him well. But
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: he will play that intense with just a little less
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 9: of maybe the wolfing that takes place after a big play.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: All right, there he is. That's the authority right there,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: and that's a gene sterritor.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: Ah.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: Look, I get where he was coming from.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying that the official couldn't have been our
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: hands on or couldn't have gone a little further out
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 7: of his way to try to keep Riek Wolen from
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 7: committing such a sin in such a big moment. Yeah,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: I think he could have gone to the next level.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: But if that game would have ended and the Rams
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: would have won, I can promise you this, I wouldn't
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: have arrived on Monday morning blaming that call.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: I would not have arrived Monday morning during Monday morning quarterback.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying he would have, but I personally would
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 7: have thought that that call was justified and it had
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: and Reek Wolen is going to have to pay the
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: price with the Seattle Sports fan for the rest of time. Yea,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: because of it. I would have not had any issue whatsoever.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 7: I would not even have.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: Counted it among the things that.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 7: I I mean, I would have certainly counted it among
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 7: the things that cost them the victory, but I would
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 7: not have counted it as something that you know, I
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 7: would have disagreed with in the moment. I thought it
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 7: was well justified that that flag was thrown, and I
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 7: don't think that it is required of the official to
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 7: make sure Rik Woolen behaves himself.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you explained that well, and I think
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: that Hugh gets I mean, Hugh was not saying it
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't a foul. He flat out came out and said
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: it was wrong. What he did, he most certainly is
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: asking for it. You know, he's going above and beyond
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: what he should be doing as far as celebrating making
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: a play and forcing a punt. And he's basically just
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: like I wish the guy would have not walked there
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: and probably said, hey, that's enough, Hey that's enough. That
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: he would have been more along the lines of something
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: he's seen plenty of times. Well, you have seen officials
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: kind of run up, you know, a little pepin their
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: step and get up in between it and get in
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: his face and say, nah, hey, that's enough. Get because
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: had he done that. I mean, at first, when he
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: gets up and he starts john at the bench, the
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: referee is own like two yards from him, and yet
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: he's walking and and Reek is kind of hopping up
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: and down right, and he's pulling his little face mask
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: down so he can start jawjacking at him. And then
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: it's it's one of those I think at that point
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: he's like, hey, that's enough, and he's waiting for him
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: to heed that advice. That's enough, But he doesn't. Then
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: do a couple of things here and there there they
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: let him talk. There's just a point when it goes
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: over the line and it becomes taunting. And when you
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: start walking then towards their bench, towards their sideline and
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: at their players, and you continue to talk, then it
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: becomes a foul. And I mean, I'm I'm not one
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: that wants the referees to insert themselves into the outcome
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: of the game, but I do want them to call
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: the game by the rules. And those rules are especially
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: something like taunting is is very it's fluid. It seems like, right,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's guys, These guys talk a lot when
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: they're out there on the field, and rightfully so it's
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: fired up game and you're trying to smack somebody and
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: inflict some pain and and it's a battle of trying
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: to crush the other teams will I'm okay with all
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: of that, And yet there has to be something as
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: a professional athlete where you know where the line is.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: And if Riquolan hasn't figured out where the line is,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: even though he's jumped over it multiple times, the taunting penalty.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: You and I talked about it off the are yesterday,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: that you make a hit and now they don't want
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: you to stand up over the guy and look down
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: on him, right they That to me is like, boy,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: that's really splitting hairs because there's a natural reaction of
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: I just smacked you. I'm picking myself up off of
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: being on top of you, and they kind of want
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: you just to quickly get your head off of it.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: Don't stare at him, don't hover over him, don't flex
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: on him. And yet, on the flip side of it,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: every single receiver catches a ball right for a first
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: down and gets up spins the ball has to point
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: first down, maybe do a dance something, And that's kind
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: of a lot of times just right there in the
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: face of the defender that was just trying to do
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: his job. So to me, I think there's a way
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: in which Hugh was kind of getting is there can
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: be two truths that, yes, he taunted, he did something
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: that's probably worthy of a flag, and yet could he
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: have done more. Yes, he could have done more, where
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: I basically lie, the official could have done more to
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: try to stop it before he throws a flag because
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: of how big this game is and you're, you know,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: you're trying to get the Super Bowl. That said, I
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily know if that's his job. I think Hughes
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: is just playing something. I wanted to do everything he
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: possibly can to not have to throw a flag, and
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: he could have done more before he did throw the flag,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that's necessary his job. If he
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: if he hadn't said anything to him, then that would
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: be one thing. But you can see in the videos
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: that he said, hey, hey, that's enough. And if he
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't heed the advice after one or as as as
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: Jean said maybe one and a half warnings, Hey, hey, ma'am.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: If you don't then turn and start heading back the
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: other direction, then you're kind of putting yourself in front
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: of what your team should be. You're you're putting yourself
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: in front of your team. And that's where I have
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: an issue with it.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 8: There is no part of what happened that should go
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 8: on a ref on the ref I mean, because it
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 8: is Riek Wollan's responsibility and solely wreak Woman's responsibility to
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: know that what he was doing is wrong and he
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 8: knew it was wrong, and yeah, pulling down the mount
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 8: his you know, his face covering and make sure that
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 8: they could hear him and see what he was saying
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 8: to them.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he went he took it too far.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 8: You say one thing, you turn, you walk away, but
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 8: you can't keep going down the line, So you make
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 8: sure that every single person that's right there along the
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 8: sideline here's what you're saying. And then you The thing
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 8: that really pissed me off was then he acted surprised
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: when the flag was thrown at him, and he's like
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 8: putting his hands on his head, like, oh, come on,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 8: what how are you surprised by that. There's there's no
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 8: part of you that should be shocked by that. You
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 8: were being an idiot and you got called for it.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: And then it happened to you like six times this
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: year exactly.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 8: And had we lost that game, that would have been
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 8: a big reason why.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: And I never, ever, ever would have thought, gosh, it
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: was the ref's fault. He should have come in and
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: done more. No, that is Reek Wolen's fault.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I will say. I mean we talked to Bucky
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: and iye off the air. Didn't ever really much time
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 7: to talk on the air. I've kind of established myself
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 7: I am a swallow your damn whistle kind of fan
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: an analyst. When the game is on the line, end
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: of the fourth quarter, I don't want to see your
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 7: call determining the outcome of the game. Now there are outliers,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 7: remember the famous Saints vikings for you know, Pi. I mean,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 7: sometimes a mugging takes place, you don't have any choice.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: You've got to call in that situation. But for the
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 7: most part, I want you to swallow the whistle. There
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 7: was still a quarter plus to go in that game,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 7: and I don't think that an official needs to be
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: swallowing their whistle with time left in the third quarter
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 7: when somebody does something that egregious, that was just that
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 7: was unsportsmanlike conduct. I mean, look it up in a
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: dictionary and it's going to have Reek Wolland's picture on
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: it now from this point forward, taunting the Rams with
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 7: his hands on his head. I can't believe this happened.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, that's just, you know, that's where That's
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: where I'm at with that, That's where Jean's at with it.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 7: Now the question becomes, you're getting ready for an even
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 7: bigger stage, and you're getting ready for even more hype
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 7: and an even bigger trophy and even you know, more hysteria,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 7: and you're gonna get wrapped up into this game as well.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 7: Ken Tarik Wolan even help himself because it can't happen again, right,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 7: And yet we thought that several games ago that he's
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 7: not gonna ever do this again. Right, somebody certainly win,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 7: And I think we even had that conversation. Mike McDonald
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: surely sat him down this time to make sure that.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: This doesn't happen again.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 7: And then it pops up at the worst possible time
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: of the season. To date, and yet it could pop
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 7: up again at an even worse time going forward.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: And I asked Greg Bell, who follows him on a.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 7: Daily basis, if maybe the less and has finally been learned,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 7: or if Rake Woland just is gonna talk.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 10: He's a twenty four year old guy. He's just he's emotional,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 10: he's into social media, he's into the parents and optics
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 10: of things. And the thing about this league is once
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 10: other teams know that's a thing, they goed you and
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 10: try to lead you into that as a competitive advantage.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 10: Same thing with DK Metcalf when he.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 5: Was here all those years.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 10: Once the word gets out on the street that this
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 10: guy is talks and yaps o, yap back, and the
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 10: Rams are yapping at him. The end of that play,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 10: you could see the sidelines that were guys john at
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 10: him too. But you just have to have the discipline
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 10: to walk away from they.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 5: He would have been. I've been thinking about this.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 10: Can we imagine a bigger goat in Seattle sports history,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 10: somebody who did a singular act that sabotaged the championship?
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 10: I can't think of one because there's not an extensive history.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 10: I'm not trying to slight Seattle, but there's not extensive
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 10: history of the Seahawks being or any Seattle sports franchise
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 10: in championship situations like Sunday, he would have gone down
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 10: as the biggest goad in Seattle sports history if they
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 10: had they lost that game. And I think he just
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 10: does understand that the brotherhood and the.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 5: Players and all of that.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 10: Winning of course helps that, but they're saying that's what
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 10: they rallied around him for, and the emotions of it
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 10: and all of that. But I don't know that there
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 10: needs to be a ton more said within the building
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 10: to him. He I think he gets how grave that
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 10: almost became. Yeah, it was short of it as yeah,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 10: but he is just in his mid twenties. And I
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 10: had noticed he put out something on social media to
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 10: address it to the NFL and to the Seahawks that
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 10: he was sorry and please forgive him, and it was
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 10: my son.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 5: It was said. It was some mean Madagascar or something.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but he made light of it, and.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: As I said yesterday, I give him a lot of
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 10: credit for even talking about it and owning up to it,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 10: and a lot of people, a lot of veteran players
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 10: don't do that he said, and he.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 7: Did the right things afterwards. That's Greg we talked more about.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: If you want to hear the entire conversation with both
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 7: him and Gene, it'll be available on our podcast at
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 7: ninety three three KJR dot com. He did the right
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 7: things afterwards, but then he's come back and done the
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 7: exact same thing. And if I just disagree with anything
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 7: that Greg said, it's that I'm not excusing him for
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 7: being twenty four years old, Nicki minore. He's twenty one
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 7: years old, and he's sitting there with a fourth of
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 7: the professional football experience that you have, and he's sitting
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 7: in there in your face after the play is over,
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 7: asking you how stupid can you be?
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: So I'm not buying that as an excuse.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 7: And yet I don't buy that he's learned his lesson either.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, he did some funny things. I think
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 7: he's a likable young man. Talk to him numeor times,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 7: but there's something that just doesn't connect there, Bucky, and
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 7: I don't trust that he's done with the behavior.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: I'll be worried about it after every single play I
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: think on the Super Bowl, I'm with you. I mean,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: I'll commend him for you know, coming out and saying,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: even though I made a great play, I wasn't great
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: for my team, and I got to be better and
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: I got to just celebrate with my team, not at
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: the other team's bench.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: Good, So you recognize why you got the foul, why
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: the penalty was thrown, and yet it's not the first time.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: If you were a rookie and you're excited because this
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: is a big moment, you hadn't done anything up to
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: this point, and you just the best, got the emotion,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: got the best of you, then he'd be like, all right,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: it's just one time thing. I can then maybe chalk
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: that up to you're young, but you're just because you're
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: twenty four doesn't mean you just well, you're just allowed
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: to be stupid and do stuff that just could possibly
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: cost your team. There's people on this team that have
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: been in this game for ten years and they've worked
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: the entire season, their entire lives to get to a
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: super Bowl, and your your lack of control emotionally might
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: have cost them that opportunity of a lifetime. That to
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: me is not something that I can just brush off
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: because you're twenty four. I can't just say well, that's okay. No,
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: it's not okay, And I'm with you. I don't while
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: his words say I have to be better and I
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: just need to celebrate my team. Yeah, you probably should
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: have recognized that the last time and the time before
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: that and the time before that and that, and that
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: you should have figured that out already. And so to me,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: you only have one more game, and he's obviously a
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: player that you want to have out there on the
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: field if you're Mike McDonald. But I'm not playing with
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: that fire for very long. I'm gonna play with it
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: one more week. Oh that's it. And then it's like, nah,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: I will find somebody with maybe less measurables, not as fast,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: not as long, but definitely a little bit more control
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: of his emotions.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: Familiar And and.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 7: I'll say this, I mean, that wasn't the only misstep.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 7: Even on that drive. He had a five yard penalty
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 7: that gave him a first down earlier in that drive,
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 7: and he gave up the game winning touchdown on the
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 7: very next play.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: I it was just a disaster.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 7: He like single handedly like walked the Rams back into
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 7: the game, like ushered them down like Bucky at Grace's wedding.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow, better not be tomorrow.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: Better not be tomorrow.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 7: He just like ushered them right back into the Hey,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 7: don't worry about it, don't look so gloom. I'll get
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 7: you back in this game. Single handedly did it. And
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 7: I appreciate I really appreciate nick game and worry. I
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 7: appreciate Ernest Jones said, hey, he knows, he knows. I mean,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 7: he could read his lips like he had to calm
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 7: down the situation. Everybody had to calm down the situation.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 7: And I appreciate that, even the way that the team
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 7: has handled it post game. But somebody, somebody better make
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 7: sure Rik Willans got the message.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 8: I would say that I think this time might be
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 8: different because all of his teammates were angry by it.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 8: It's not just a coach who is mad at the situation.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, he really made his teammates upset. So I
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 8: think I'm hoping that would be the thing he needed
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 8: to be like, oh, yeah, I did screw up this time.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 7: You know, usually intimidates people, Harvey Kye tell in movies,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 7: maybe Harvey Kyel should go take a sure, you know,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: go visit with him.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: All right, the old judge is gonna the old judge.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: He'd scared them.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: Stretch, get your gavel out.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 7: Get your gavel nick em and Or doesn't want to
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 7: go before the old judge. But Ashley and I do
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 7: every week. We'll do it next on kJ R.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: You may be seated.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: I'll learn eventually.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're like you're like Greek Wolan.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: Oh won't learn.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 9: Ow.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: Wow, look at that. That's very comfortable for that act.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: You know she's an emotional person.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 7: I am.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's only twenty four.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 8: Who knows if I can control anything.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 7: By the way your job. You are a professional and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 7: partial judge.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: And yet is that a sea hawk jersey underneath your room? There?
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Donald Donald Jersey over there?
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm I'm rocking for this week. Maybe the old
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: judge would Yeah, the old judges he can be swayed.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Excellent.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Well this is how the old judge works.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 7: I'm going to bring up a few different topics. Ashley
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 7: and I are going to discuss them. Once the old
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 7: judge has heard enough, he's going to pound his gap cavel.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 7: He will weigh in Ashley and I will zip our lips. Doubtful,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 7: and then whatever the old judge says it goes and
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 7: it's law. All right, put in the law ratified sure
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 7: by fifty different states.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: Sure, all right, Well let's get it going.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 7: Number one of all the Seahawks on the roster, I'm
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 7: most happiest for Sam Donald to be reaching the super Bowl.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 8: I am very happy for Sam Donald to be reaching
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 8: the Super Bowl because he has gotten a lot of criticism. Obviously,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 8: We've talked about that all season long, and I think
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 8: a lot of it is unwarranted. But no, I am
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 8: not most happy for Sam Donald. I'm very happy for
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 8: Leonard William, DeMarcus Lawrence, some of the older guys that
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 8: have really put in the time and effort and energy
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 8: and found their place coming here.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: Those are the guys I'm really happy for.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 7: I thought of DeMarcus Lawrence too, like what a jump
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 7: Ernest Jones from the Dallas Cowboys to roll the dice
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 7: on Seattle, move all the way up to the Pacific Northwest,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 7: kind of start his entire time here by throwing the
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 7: Cowboys under the bus, and and now.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: All of that is paid off. But I do think
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: it's Jaron reed oh Man just been here for.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 7: A while, decided to come back to finish something he
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 7: didn't started the tears rolling down his face. Sunday, it
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 7: just worked for me. I think I'm most happy for
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 7: Jered Gavel.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Gavel Gavel, you guys sent me you're overthinking it. Oh okay.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: I mean if there's Ernest Jones, I would maybe say
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: could be on the list, and Cooper Cuff, especially after
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: you had to win the Super Bowl of the NFC
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: and they were castaways. So they yeah, that's that's true.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: And yet to me, that's you're overthinking of it. It's
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: anything other than the guy that could be the first
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Ginger to ever lead a team, a guy that has
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: been shunned ever since the unfortunate effects of being drafted
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: by the New York Jets.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: That is unfortunate.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: And then to overcome that through carrying clipboards and playing
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: behind mister irrelevant and then having to go and wait
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: for somebody to be hurt. And then he does and
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: takes that and ends up leading the Minnesota Vikings to
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: where they went last year, only to fall on his
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: face to some extent in the first playoff game. Then
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: he gets a job here. You got people saying you
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: just made a mistake. That is not an upgrade over
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: over Geno Smith, and he proves everybody wrong. Even after
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: going fourteen and three and and gets into the playoffs
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: as a number one seed, he still has doubters. He
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: has people saying that they would bet that he had
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: two or more interceptions in the last game. That's the
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: bet that they would make for him to overcome all
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: of that, because it's like he hears it, but he
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: can't care. You can't care. You go out and you
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: fight with your brothers, and you see what comes out
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game. I think it's the
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: redemption story of it is a thirty for thirty at
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: some point later on down the road, and I don't
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: think it's I don't think it's anybody else.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: Jab A pretty good call there.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: All right, jud jeh, Thanks you guys actually agreed? Are
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 7: Next one, We just watched Matthew Stafford play his final
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 7: NFL game.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we did.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 8: I mean I think I think he seems to be
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 8: one of those athletes that really thinks about where he's
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 8: at in life. And he started the season off with
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 8: back issues. No one thought he was going to be
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 8: able to play. He came out had an MVP type season.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 8: He has a chance to go out on top. No,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 8: they didn't win the Super Bowl, but they got to
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 8: the NFC Championship. He's most likely going to be the MVP.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 8: He really I'll use his time with his family, and
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 8: I just I would think that he would be the
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 8: kind of person to say, I don't want to deal
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 8: with more injuries. I don't want any time to take
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 8: away from my family.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: I'm done.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 7: I can't imagine that he's walking away after this. I mean,
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 7: he's the best quarterback in the National Football League right now.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 7: He's at the top of his game. I mean, when
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 7: John Elway walked away, that was stunning, but that was
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 7: a starting his decline. I don't want to be anything
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 7: less than good quarterback. It wasn't even the besket player
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 7: on his team anymore because Terrell Davis had taken him
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 7: over in those last two years. And I get to
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 7: go out as a champion. I mean, that was like
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 7: a perfect walk off into the sunset John Elway moment
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 7: to be at your very best, regardless of your age,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 7: and having lost a tough game to close out your season.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 7: I just can't imagine he doesn't have a roaring fire
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 7: still going to come back and play more football.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: Gavel Gavel Gavel. I don't there's any chance. I mean
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: there's a chance because of his health and we don't
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: know for sure how he's feeling at this point in
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: the season. The fact that he's coming in after the
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: length that he's been in the NFL with injuries that
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: are not going to go away, right that if you're
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: coming in to the from the offseason hindered by back
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: pain to where you're like, we're not gonna play him
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: in anything in the preseason. He's not gonna do anything
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: now days. It's really you don't even have to be
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: an old quarterback. They're just not going to play in
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: the preseason period. But for him, we know there was
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: a reason behind it, and then you go through the
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: beating that you're going to take throughout a season and
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: you find yourself right there. I mean, they're arguably the
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: best team in football with the Seahawks, I think I
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: don't think it's the same. I don't think there's a
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: ride off into the sunset right now. To me, it
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be riding off into the sunset. He would be
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: able to cope with it and deal with it. In time.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: But I think he'd be walking away from a team
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: that he feels is capable of winning a Super Bowl.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: John Elway rode off into the sunset. Like you said,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: he was already declining that team. He was good enough
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: with Terrell Davis, with the way in which the team
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: was set up around him. He became basically a game
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: manager that could win a game for you if you
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: needed it. But he wasn't the same John Elway wasn't
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: capable of running the same way. And he wins back
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: to back Super Bowls. That is going out on top.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: I think Matthew Stafford is probably thinking, all right, we
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: got really close and we let it slip slip away.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: I think he wants to come back. The idea of
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: winning Super Bowl and leaving on that would be I
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: think what is his goal?
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 5: Would be?
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: All right, last one for the old judge.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 7: If something happens at the kJ R House in Santa Clara,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 7: Softie will be the most likely to get arrested, and
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 7: Dick Fane will be the most likely to call the cops.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 8: Oh gosh, okay, I'm gonna say something happens at the
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 8: kJ house, SAFTI will be the most likely to be
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 8: the instigator.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: Well, same thing.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that it would be Softie's fault.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 8: I do think he would be the least likely to
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 8: control himself.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: And Dick Vane would definitely call the cops.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: Gravel gravel Gall. Yes, I'll just the Dick Vane being
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: the cop caller for sure. Yeah, for yes, sure we
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: might all have him. He might call the cops on
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: all of us.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: You might call them when you guys get there.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. He could like I wanted that room
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: cops nine one one. Uh as you eat my bagel,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: I'll show you. Yeah. Who might do something that's arrest worthy.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: Mark James probably will do something that's arrestworthy. Let's be
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: real now, whether or not Dick Vane season calls the cops,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: that'll be the difference. Oh he'll call. Yeah, soft Deal
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: will do something in the next two weeks. He's for
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: sure gonna be like we win, I'm streaking and so
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: going to jail.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think that he's like, you know, running
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 7: a drug ring outside the It's probably something like that.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: He's like streaking. Yeah, he's in the neighborhood. I'll put
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: my bare butt on the the middle of that, Santa
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 2: Clara Field, Niner fans and Dick fannabay, don't you dare
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: do it? And then second his pants come down nine
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: to one one God for sure.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 7: Yes, officers, Yeah, Softy just put his butt on my snacks.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: He would probably do that.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: Dick Fane will write his name on groceries in the fridge.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, also that will happen to all right, one
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 7: last thing next on Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 1:52:32
