Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: Hey, good Wednesday morning, nine o'clock hour here on the
- 0:15Speaker 1: eve of Seahawks RAMS. We'll certainly be talking about it
- 0:18Speaker 1: more before the show comes to a close. And tomorrow
- 0:21Speaker 1: we're all about it right here on Chucking back in
- 0:23Speaker 1: the morning, Ashley, Bucky Chuck with you here on this Wednesday.
- 0:28Speaker 1: But we have another major sporting event that gets started
- 0:31Speaker 1: on Friday. The College Football Playoff is nearly here. Second
- 0:35Speaker 1: ever season for a true playoff tournament for college football.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I love it, and it'll start with Oklahoma and Alabama
- 0:45Speaker 1: on Friday night at five o'clock. And so today we
- 0:48Speaker 1: will muster up the strength to preview for you the
- 0:52Speaker 1: entire tournament field. It's our bracket jacket, which we started
- 0:56Speaker 1: just a year ago. We're going to get to that
- 0:58Speaker 1: in a moment, but we also have some hardware to
- 1:00Speaker 1: hand out. It's been a long time since we've done this.
- 1:02Speaker 1: We haven't green jacketed in a while. It's been a minute. Yeah,
- 1:05Speaker 1: no kidding, I mean no, we don't even we don't
- 1:08Speaker 1: even keep in touch anymore.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I've missed it so much.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you and I aren't performing so well these days.
- 1:14Speaker 1: But we do have to hand the green jacket to
- 1:18Speaker 1: our own Christopher Kid. Thanks Bud for the winter.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Huh oh, TH's gonna happen?
- 1:23Speaker 1: Maybe you certainly earned it. I'll say this, I mean,
- 1:26Speaker 1: I think in our college Big ten college football fantasy
- 1:31Speaker 1: league this year, I think you caught a lot of breaks.
- 1:34Speaker 1: You had the healthiest team, but you also drafted the best.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I mean, there's no getting around it. Your first round
- 1:39Speaker 1: pick was the only bad pick you made, Nick Singleton
- 1:42Speaker 1: from Pennstanva. He wasn't a bad pick. But then you
- 1:45Speaker 1: had Makay Lemon in the second round who was fantastic
- 1:47Speaker 1: this year, Denzel Boston in the third round who was fantastic.
- 1:51Speaker 1: And then the pick they won it for you, the
- 1:53Speaker 1: pick from Heaven at the fourth round, Christopher Kidd picks
- 1:57Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy winner Fernandoza and had him all season long.
- 2:02Speaker 1: That's some good picking right there. I'll give it to you.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't even know who he was.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Well, I did. He had a solid season last year.
- 2:09Speaker 4: I didn't think he would become a Heisman winner. I
- 2:12Speaker 4: just thought he would have a decent season, and boy
- 2:14Speaker 4: did he.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Blow that out the water. Yeah, yeah, he really did.
- 2:17Speaker 1: So you had nine hundred and ninety there's nine and
- 2:20Speaker 1: eighty points. It ended up being very close. This is
- 2:23Speaker 1: the closest from the top to bottom that we've ever
- 2:25Speaker 1: had in our Big Ten Fantasy league. Bucky ended up
- 2:29Speaker 1: finishing second with ninety nine. I finished third with nine
- 2:34Speaker 1: to twenty two, and then Ashley with nine to nineteen.
- 2:36Speaker 1: So all very close. This year was a it was
- 2:39Speaker 1: a fun season.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:40Speaker 1: We had a lot of injury aggravations.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Thank you, John Coleman.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, thank you. Darius Taylor. I hope you fail at.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Life Seahawks with the third round pick select.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I hope, I hope you don't make it to the
- 2:55Speaker 1: National Football League. You get a desk job and get
- 2:58Speaker 1: fired within two weeks. Wow, that's what I hope. He
- 3:02Speaker 1: was not to any sports radio.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Little draft.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I hope you get injured by a stapler incident sitting
- 3:10Speaker 1: at your desk at your job at the heat.
- 3:13Speaker 2: He didn't say paper cut because that would be just
- 3:15Speaker 2: straight violence.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Yeah, not my
- 3:19Speaker 1: worst enemy. So Chris Kid, Yes, we'll see if you
- 3:23Speaker 1: can wear that all winter long. Actually, you might want
- 3:26Speaker 1: to take that off your shoulder. Yeah, it really will.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Our college Football Preview draft was where we picked the
- 3:34Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner and the national champion, the Big Ten champion,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and then how many wins that you Dubb would get. Now,
- 3:42Speaker 1: I would say three of us were terrible, Yeah, terrible
- 3:46Speaker 1: at this Bucky was okay, but okay compared to how
- 3:51Speaker 1: terrible we were. He ran away with it. So Buckey
- 3:54Speaker 1: won the Green Jacket. He nailed you Dub's win total
- 3:58Speaker 1: with eight and he took in the first round, so
- 4:00Speaker 1: you got to give him credit for that. It's not
- 4:01Speaker 1: like he just backed his way into it. He was like,
- 4:03Speaker 1: I want that number eight, and I'm going to take
- 4:05Speaker 1: it with my first pick. So he did that. He
- 4:08Speaker 1: also has Ohio State actually pretty good, Ohio State winning
- 4:11Speaker 1: the national championship and right now they're the favorite. He
- 4:14Speaker 1: had Oregon winning the Big Ten. They came close, and
- 4:17Speaker 1: he had arch Manning winning the Heisman Trophy and that
- 4:20Speaker 1: didn't come close. But then again, he was the favorite
- 4:23Speaker 1: at the time we were drafting. So Bucky ran away
- 4:26Speaker 1: with this one. So Bucky, congratulations, thank you.
- 4:28Speaker 3: It feels good. It feels good.
- 4:30Speaker 5: You didn't take Fernando Mendoza in the in the Heisman.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Yeah, son of a gun. You you got jokes. You're funny.
- 4:37Speaker 3: I should have.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure he was like plus ten thousand.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 4:41Speaker 6: Congratulations, Bucky. I am very happy for you.
- 4:45Speaker 5: Sound about as happy as you are about the NBA
- 4:47Speaker 5: Mid Season Cup.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I am glad that came across correctly.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Yeah, Ashley and I got to pick it up. Because
- 4:54Speaker 1: Bucky's now got five Green jackets for the new season.
- 4:57Speaker 1: He's leading Kid with his third. It moves out of
- 5:01Speaker 1: a tie for last place with me. But Ashley started
- 5:04Speaker 1: this season like gang bust. I think he won like
- 5:06Speaker 1: the first three.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Uh.
- 5:07Speaker 1: And so you you're in a you're in a drought.
- 5:10Speaker 1: At least you're not at the last place, which is
- 5:13Speaker 1: where I'm at. So it's the outstanding Green Jacket drafts
- 5:17Speaker 1: that we've had the Hockey Crack and Fantasy League. I'm
- 5:21Speaker 1: leading that right now with seventy one points. Ashley has
- 5:24Speaker 1: sixty eight, Kid was sixty two, and Bucky with forty eight.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And I've got Jayden Schwartz out. So Ashley, there's your
- 5:32Speaker 1: chance to get here. I come yeah to overtake me
- 5:36Speaker 1: midway through the season. Guess who's winning our NBA one
- 5:40Speaker 1: round the Horn Ashley, guess who's winning me?
- 5:44Speaker 3: Bucky? Probably me?
- 5:45Speaker 1: Kid? Who do you think, Chuck? I'll go ahead, Chuck Fashley.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Ashley I predicted with the Nuggets, the Rockets, Hawks, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: Lakers is at sixty eight and thirty two, six games
- 5:58Speaker 1: better than Kid right now, nine and a hal half
- 6:00Speaker 1: games better than Bucky right now, and twelve and a
- 6:02Speaker 1: half better than me because I took the Mavericks and
- 6:05Speaker 1: not the Pistons like an idiot. That's eleven and a
- 6:09Speaker 1: half points. That's unfortunate. Oh, that's horrible. And then our
- 6:14Speaker 1: NFL over unders that we did at the beginning of
- 6:16Speaker 1: the year, it's all but salted away. Bucky's all but
- 6:19Speaker 1: won this thing. He took Seahawks over eight and a half,
- 6:23Speaker 1: Broncos over nine and a half, and even though he
- 6:26Speaker 1: put took the Falcons over seven and a half, He's
- 6:30Speaker 1: still probably gonna run away. You're almost cinched it. I mean,
- 6:33Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna punch three tickets. But the margin
- 6:36Speaker 1: is just not going to be significant where you already
- 6:38Speaker 1: have margins with the Broncos and Seahawks of two and
- 6:42Speaker 1: a half games each.
- 6:43Speaker 2: How are my Jets doing not good?
- 6:45Speaker 1: You did not have a good draft, and kid, you
- 6:50Speaker 1: got a chance to punch some tickets, but you got
- 6:52Speaker 1: to have some things happen. Yeah, Miami wins some games here, Bud,
- 6:54Speaker 1: help me out or lose or lose. I would like
- 6:58Speaker 1: for them to lose. So all right, that gets you
- 6:59Speaker 1: up to speed with what we've been doing. It's our
- 7:02Speaker 1: Green Jacket Draft. Do We do this every once in
- 7:04Speaker 1: a while to preview a major sporting event and then
- 7:06Speaker 1: we have a little bit of fun with it. And
- 7:08Speaker 1: so today we preview the college football Playoff. There won't
- 7:11Speaker 1: be a draft today. Last year we introduced the green
- 7:15Speaker 1: Jacket bracket and so we did this with the college
- 7:18Speaker 1: basketball and then last year the first ever college football tournament.
- 7:22Speaker 1: And so today we just reveal our green Jacket brackets. Uh,
- 7:27Speaker 1: and so we've got them all filled out and we're
- 7:29Speaker 1: ready to reveal. So this is no draft, just a
- 7:32Speaker 1: discussion and we'll start with Bucky. Bucky, let's talk about
- 7:37Speaker 1: your bracket. What do you got going over there?
- 7:39Speaker 3: Well, I do have Oregon squeaking by jam You Settler.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Yep, that's what I don't feel super confident in that one,
- 7:48Speaker 5: but I'm gonna go ahead and go with the Ducks.
- 7:52Speaker 3: I don't have to lay points on this, just.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Straight up, straight up yeah.
- 7:57Speaker 5: And then I actually have Alabama beating no Oklahoma.
- 8:01Speaker 3: That might be a different one. I don't know.
- 8:02Speaker 1: If you guys it's eight nine, I think you can
- 8:04Speaker 1: go that's a coin toss right now. Oklahoma beat them earlier. Yeah,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but the Alabama out kind of outplayed them.
- 8:11Speaker 5: I mean they as far as total yards, I think
- 8:13Speaker 5: it was like four six to two twelve. There was
- 8:15Speaker 5: a Oklahoma picked six in that game, and it still
- 8:18Speaker 5: was tight at the end. I think Alabama writes the
- 8:20Speaker 5: ship and beats them. I'm taking Old Miss against Tulane.
- 8:24Speaker 5: I think that they will have a little bit of
- 8:26Speaker 5: a galvanizing thing from the Lane Kiffin experience, at least
- 8:30Speaker 5: in round one. And then I don't really know about
- 8:33Speaker 5: the Miami, Texas A and M. I don't I really
- 8:35Speaker 5: haven't watched either of those teams, but I'm cheering hard
- 8:38Speaker 5: for Texas A and M for one reason and one
- 8:40Speaker 5: reason only. You're a huge aggis Yep, No, No, because
- 8:44Speaker 5: I just don't like Miami now at all. Going back
- 8:48Speaker 5: on that one, I think Ohio State beats whoever comes
- 8:51Speaker 5: out of that matchup. With Texas A and M and Miami.
- 8:54Speaker 5: I think Ohio State is the favorite and understandably so,
- 8:57Speaker 5: whether or not they hold up. I think their defense
- 9:00Speaker 5: better than it was last year. I think the offense
- 9:02Speaker 5: they have crazy weapons which show up usually in big moments,
- 9:06Speaker 5: so I have them advancing to the semifinals. I think
- 9:10Speaker 5: Georgia beats Old Miss They beat them just not too
- 9:13Speaker 5: long ago, right towards the end of the regular season.
- 9:15Speaker 5: I think they kind of hold serve in that one.
- 9:17Speaker 5: I think Indiana beats Alabama, and then I'm taking Oregon
- 9:21Speaker 5: beating Texas Town because I can't yep, that's straight home.
- 9:24Speaker 5: Well wait to hear the rest of it, because then
- 9:25Speaker 5: I have Oregon beating Indiana in the semifinals. Yeah, yep,
- 9:29Speaker 5: because this is the year. I think the Ducks are
- 9:31Speaker 5: getting healthy at the right time. They basically the second
- 9:34Speaker 5: half of the season, definitely the last two months have
- 9:36Speaker 5: been without their top two or three wide receivers and
- 9:40Speaker 5: still figured out a way.
- 9:40Speaker 3: They got tons of running backs.
- 9:42Speaker 5: Dante Moore has to play the way that he can,
- 9:45Speaker 5: not the way that he has at times. I think
- 9:46Speaker 5: that they can get past Indiana. They deserve to lose.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Come on, India, you're not that good. And then I
- 9:52Speaker 5: have Ohio State beating Georgia in their side of the bracket.
- 9:55Speaker 5: So it's Ducks versus Ohio State. And at this point
- 9:58Speaker 5: I'm not going back on it. Give me the Ducks
- 10:00Speaker 5: in the National championship.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Man, I'm so glad I don't have to worry about
- 10:02Speaker 1: Bucky winning this. Yeah, well we'll see.
- 10:05Speaker 2: That's we'll see about that, quack.
- 10:10Speaker 1: That is, I guess you team? Yeah, your team? I guess, well, yes,
- 10:15Speaker 1: you don't bail on your team.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Something cheer for.
- 10:19Speaker 3: It's just nice to have my team in it, you know.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:22Speaker 5: In the argument there you go, Joe Coo, I'm talking about.
- 10:25Speaker 5: You know what I'm talking about.
- 10:26Speaker 2: As I don't know because Washington has not been in
- 10:29Speaker 2: the Jim used.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Purple and gold. You could take them all the way.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I mean, if they win all cheer hard.
- 10:34Speaker 1: All right, Ashley, Where do you differ on your board
- 10:37Speaker 1: from Bucky?
- 10:39Speaker 2: A lot of difference. None In the first round.
- 10:41Speaker 6: I've got Oregon, Bama, Ole, Miss, and Texas A and
- 10:44Speaker 6: M in the first round. Okay, second round, I got
- 10:47Speaker 6: Ohio State, Georgia, Indiana.
- 10:50Speaker 2: And Oregon.
- 10:53Speaker 1: All right, so you're identical to this point.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And then I picked Indiana.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Of course you did.
- 10:58Speaker 5: Yeah, chalk chalking beat him once already, I am chalking
- 11:02Speaker 5: twice in.
- 11:03Speaker 1: The same season hockey. That's what it's carved on the
- 11:05Speaker 1: tree outside their house. Five iron, five iron loves chalking.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Straight chalk.
- 11:10Speaker 6: And then I got yeah, I got Indiana and Ohio
- 11:12Speaker 6: State meeting up in the semi finals and Indiana getting
- 11:14Speaker 6: them again.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Oh look at that. Okay, that's straight chalk. Yep. Did
- 11:23Speaker 1: you take one upset? The entire time I did not know,
- 11:27Speaker 1: well you ever heard chalking?
- 11:28Speaker 6: Yeah I did, because technically Alabama is an upset over Oklahoma,
- 11:32Speaker 6: Organs an upset over Texas tech ranking wise.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, all right, I take that back.
- 11:38Speaker 1: You're just chalk, like, yeah, you're not chalky or I'm
- 11:42Speaker 1: very in my five iron loves chalk like, yeah, who doesn't. Yep?
- 11:47Speaker 1: All right, all right, kid, lay it out for me,
- 11:51Speaker 1: lay it out before us. What do you got?
- 11:53Speaker 4: I have one upset, and that would be Miami over
- 11:56Speaker 4: Texas and and m oh boy, sorry, you'll be okay though, Bucky,
- 12:00Speaker 4: do everything else though, Oregon, Oklahoma, Ole miss and then
- 12:03Speaker 4: the you.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Do have Oklahoma that's different than theirs.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Actually, you're right, it is different than theirs, but it's
- 12:09Speaker 4: the favorite. So I go with the azy at least Oklahoma.
- 12:12Speaker 4: And then I got Texas Tech beating Oregan.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Sorry Buck new heisily fake Mahomes is going to do
- 12:19Speaker 1: something special or I should maybe the one of bet Mahomes.
- 12:21Speaker 1: How do you want to phrase it?
- 12:22Speaker 4: I'll probably play okay, hopefully doesn't get hurt though, right,
- 12:25Speaker 4: my goodness, Well, the fake Mahomes isn't there yet.
- 12:28Speaker 1: He'll be there next year, that's true.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Give me, this was tough, but I'm going with Indiana. Okay,
- 12:34Speaker 4: I actually think that is going to be a tough game.
- 12:36Speaker 4: I think Oklahoma place, if.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Oklahoma gets there, even if Alabama gets there, I think
- 12:41Speaker 1: Indiana all three. If they're gonna win the national championship,
- 12:45Speaker 1: they're gonna earn it. They don't have an easy game.
- 12:47Speaker 4: True that I did pick Georgia and Ohio State to
- 12:51Speaker 4: meet up in the semi which Ohio State will win,
- 12:54Speaker 4: and I got Indiana, and then I got Ohio.
- 12:56Speaker 1: State saying we want revenge, and they get the revenge.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You got them going back to back, so you got
- 13:02Speaker 1: the Ohio State budd guys. All right, it's a little different.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It's not like the sixty eighteen field in college basketball.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I mean, there's a danger that you know, two of
- 13:10Speaker 1: us were going to pick the exact same jocket when
- 13:12Speaker 1: you only have twelve teams and you've got such clear
- 13:15Speaker 1: cut favorites in a few of those games. But I'm
- 13:18Speaker 1: glad there's at least some variants, so we will have
- 13:20Speaker 1: a green jacket winner. All right. I do have a
- 13:23Speaker 1: couple of upsets, if you want to call them that,
- 13:25Speaker 1: in the first round, I do have. I'm taking Miami
- 13:28Speaker 1: over Texas A and m Nick Saban has been hot
- 13:31Speaker 1: on Miami all season long, just a couple of weeks ago,
- 13:35Speaker 1: says if they get in the tournament, they're as dangerous
- 13:37Speaker 1: as anybody. Those are the words of Nick Saban. They
- 13:40Speaker 1: got incredible speed on defense, best pass rusher in college football,
- 13:44Speaker 1: best left tackle in college football. If Beck doesn't turn
- 13:48Speaker 1: the ball over, which has been an issue in their
- 13:50Speaker 1: losses but not in their wins, if he doesn't turn
- 13:53Speaker 1: the ball over, I think Miami is very dangerous. So
- 13:56Speaker 1: that I have them winning, I do have all misadvancing,
- 13:59Speaker 1: and I'm kind of rooting a little it for ole Miss.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I'd like to see them win the national championship. Frankly,
- 14:03Speaker 1: okay can show.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I would like that too, Although doesn't he get a
- 14:06Speaker 2: bonus or something from you?
- 14:08Speaker 3: I don't care.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I just want to see them celebrate without him.
- 14:11Speaker 2: I like it.
- 14:11Speaker 5: That's what I want to see. Yeah, I wouldn't mind that,
- 14:13Speaker 5: but I don't want it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I'm taking Oklahoma over Alabama. I'm not sure Alabama is
- 14:19Speaker 1: playing great football right now. And Kaylin de Bor's calling
- 14:22Speaker 1: up plays for Bryce Underwood already, oh, drawing those on
- 14:27Speaker 1: the plane, Like, hey, what are you doing there? Coach? Nothing?
- 14:30Speaker 1: Nothing my work?
- 14:32Speaker 2: Yeah, coach? Why is everything in blue and yellow?
- 14:34Speaker 1: Why do you have I love Jordan Marshall on your notebook?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Coach?
- 14:37Speaker 2: Why did you tattoo Ann Arbor on your butt?
- 14:40Speaker 6: So?
- 14:41Speaker 1: I think the distracted Crimson Tide loves to Oklahoma, who's
- 14:45Speaker 1: a very physical defensive team. I do have Oregon over
- 14:49Speaker 1: James Madison, but I do have Oregon losing to Texas Tech.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I liked Rick new Iiil saying that yesterday because I
- 14:55Speaker 1: was already leaning that way. I think text Tech's.
- 14:58Speaker 3: The real deal.
- 14:59Speaker 1: They might be the best defensive.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Team in the country.
- 15:01Speaker 1: I mean, they're outstanding on that side of the ball. Indiana,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I have winning a squeaker over Oklahoma, Georgia taking care
- 15:09Speaker 1: of Ole Miss and Ohio State moving past Miami, and
- 15:12Speaker 1: I got Ohio State and Texas Tech in the National
- 15:15Speaker 1: championship game with the Buckeyes winning at all for the
- 15:18Speaker 1: second year, I'll see you. Yeah, it's all said and
- 15:21Speaker 1: done then, Chuck. I mean, they're just the narrow differences
- 15:23Speaker 1: except for Bucky's. Bucky's got Oregon going all the way.
- 15:26Speaker 1: That's noticeably different than the rest of us. But it's
- 15:28Speaker 1: going to come down to, you know, one or two games.
- 15:30Speaker 1: That's basically what's going to come down to. So there
- 15:32Speaker 1: you are. Those are our predictions for the college football Playoff.
- 15:37Speaker 1: May the best team win. Somebody needs to steal that
- 15:40Speaker 1: green jacket off of Bucky shoulders.
- 15:42Speaker 3: That good luck with that.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's missing my shoulders already. Who would have thought.
- 15:47Speaker 1: And as long as Oregon doesn't win the National Championship,
- 15:50Speaker 1: it will be done yep on Earth, as it is
- 15:52Speaker 1: in Heaven.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Give us this day our daily bread.
- 15:55Speaker 3: God doesn't like any of you, oh hey.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Right, he loves us.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Yeah, he doesn't care for he Hatesson Stadium, that's for sure.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Remember we were having drinks and he just wouldn't stop
- 16:09Speaker 1: talking about it.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I do remember.
- 16:10Speaker 1: It was almost the God. Yeah, we were like.
- 16:13Speaker 6: I just had to take the drink away from him
- 16:14Speaker 6: because I thought he was just spouting off.
- 16:16Speaker 2: A little too much about his Dislike. I'm like, you're
- 16:17Speaker 2: supposed to love everybody even more.
- 16:20Speaker 1: God, we don't even like organ but this is making
- 16:22Speaker 1: us uncomfortable.
- 16:23Speaker 6: Yeah, you're making us look good, and you're making it
- 16:25Speaker 6: look like we love Orgon.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Yeah. I realized that Dan Landing is that. But you
- 16:29Speaker 1: don't have to call him that. Yeah, I mean, not
- 16:32Speaker 1: out loud.
- 16:32Speaker 2: We can all think it with our eyes.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I mean the sea really. Uh. Anyway, coming up on
- 16:39Speaker 1: the radio program here today, al Kanisky will join us
- 16:43Speaker 1: to talk some crack and ocky Sports Radio ninety three
- 16:46Speaker 1: point three kJ r.
- 16:47Speaker 7: F M H Good morning, Chuck Buck Ashley with you
- 16:59Speaker 7: every week.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Get this time we chat with cracking color analyst right
- 17:03Speaker 1: here on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 17:06Speaker 1: kh A r f M. It is al Kiniski that
- 17:09Speaker 1: is with us. Good morning out, Good morning, No were
- 17:12Speaker 1: you how we're doing good. We're doing good. Happy holidays
- 17:15Speaker 1: to you, by the way. And yeah, and I would
- 17:19Speaker 1: imagine at this point there's not a Cracking fan that's
- 17:22Speaker 1: not wishing for a win under the tree at this
- 17:25Speaker 1: point nine losses out of ten. Everett told us yesterday
- 17:29Speaker 1: we had the conversation. He doesn't think the team's playing poorly,
- 17:32Speaker 1: they're just not winning games. And I think that's exactly
- 17:34Speaker 1: what happened again last night. You face the best team
- 17:37Speaker 1: in the NHL on paper, you hang with them, and
- 17:39Speaker 1: yet you can't pull out a win. What's it going
- 17:42Speaker 1: to take to get this thing over the top?
- 17:44Speaker 8: Al Yeah, it's frustrating because because what you start doing
- 17:48Speaker 8: is you analyze, you know, what went wrong, whether it's
- 17:52Speaker 8: you know, whether it's a nine to nothing loss or
- 17:55Speaker 8: a five three loss, what went wrong? And the Cracking
- 17:58Speaker 8: going into that third period by a goal three to two,
- 18:01Speaker 8: you felt pretty good about that. If I had said, hey,
- 18:04Speaker 8: you know, in the next game against Colorado, I'll spot
- 18:06Speaker 8: your three goals, it'll be three two going to the third,
- 18:08Speaker 8: you'd take that every single time. And when you look
- 18:11Speaker 8: at the the final score and you say what went wrong,
- 18:14Speaker 8: it just comes down to a couple of mistakes. And
- 18:16Speaker 8: that's the way it is with this team right now.
- 18:19Speaker 8: That's the way it is in playoffs. So the sooner
- 18:21Speaker 8: they figure it out, the sooner they'll get moving back
- 18:23Speaker 8: up the standings. And they're gonna have to play that
- 18:25Speaker 8: way if they do make the playoffs. So how they
- 18:28Speaker 8: get it turned around. They've got to look at those
- 18:30Speaker 8: mistakes and they've got to clean them up. It's it's
- 18:32Speaker 8: a it's a bad clear there, it's a it's a
- 18:36Speaker 8: bad penalty here. It's it's you know, uh, not backchecking
- 18:40Speaker 8: correctly when you're trying to pick up the you know,
- 18:42Speaker 8: the right guy, you take the wrong guy. These things
- 18:44Speaker 8: all come out and film, and they happen every single
- 18:47Speaker 8: time for both teams. But unfortunately the Kraken are are
- 18:50Speaker 8: getting punished by them a little more frequently than they're
- 18:53Speaker 8: able to punish the teams are playing.
- 18:55Speaker 3: And let's let's face it.
- 18:56Speaker 8: You know, last night it was Colorado, the best team
- 18:58Speaker 8: in the league, and they took advantage of those mistakes.
- 19:01Speaker 5: Yeah, even though they hung with them, i mean towards
- 19:04Speaker 5: the end there there was that little scuffle where they
- 19:07Speaker 5: ended up handing out, but like four miners or double
- 19:10Speaker 5: miners or something, and they didn't show on TV. I
- 19:14Speaker 5: kind of saw on TV that Montour was kind of
- 19:16Speaker 5: slow to get up after he got involved in the
- 19:19Speaker 5: whole thing, and then he didn't return. Did you see
- 19:22Speaker 5: anything that they didn't show on TV that would lead
- 19:24Speaker 5: us into any information at all on him?
- 19:27Speaker 8: You know, in those skirmishes like that, obviously there's sticks
- 19:31Speaker 8: and there's you know, punches and guys falling to the ground,
- 19:34Speaker 8: and you just can't tell what happens to Montour and
- 19:38Speaker 8: the replays that I've seen other than maybe he went
- 19:41Speaker 8: down awkwardly and hit his head, which could be the
- 19:44Speaker 8: reason why he didn't return. Again, I'm speculating. We initially
- 19:50Speaker 8: thought he went for stitches, which you know, for a
- 19:52Speaker 8: guy like Brandon Montour or any hockey player for that man,
- 19:54Speaker 8: that's not going to stop them from coming back to
- 19:56Speaker 8: the game. So I too, am a little bit curious
- 20:00Speaker 8: to what the longer term outlook is for Brandon Montour,
- 20:03Speaker 8: but I'm guessing it had something to do with, you know,
- 20:07Speaker 8: not necessarily a punch, because that usually ends up either
- 20:11Speaker 8: in nothing or stitches at the worst, but maybe going
- 20:14Speaker 8: down to the ice, which is why he didn't return.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Al Kinisky is with US color Analyst for your Seattle
- 20:20Speaker 1: Crack and Losers for the ninth time and ten games
- 20:23Speaker 1: last night, five to three, the final score against the
- 20:26Speaker 1: Colorado Avalanche, who have lost only two games all season
- 20:30Speaker 1: long to this point. Your reaction to Lane Lambert. I
- 20:35Speaker 1: know the team is scuffling right now, but he held
- 20:38Speaker 1: a press conference in which he didn't allow the press
- 20:41Speaker 1: to ask him any questions that looked for members of
- 20:46Speaker 1: the media. I find that a bit unacceptable. I don't
- 20:50Speaker 1: think that we've got some hard hitting Seattle media corps
- 20:53Speaker 1: here that has worn, you know, Lane Lambert out after
- 20:57Speaker 1: every loss. I think that's pretty cheap to kind of
- 21:00Speaker 1: back away from the questions that should be asked when
- 21:03Speaker 1: you've lost nine games out of ten. What was your
- 21:05Speaker 1: reaction to that?
- 21:07Speaker 8: Yeah, I wasn't in the room for it, but I
- 21:09Speaker 8: did watch, start watching, listen to it, and from what
- 21:12Speaker 8: I can tell, there's a lot of frustration in his answers,
- 21:15Speaker 8: and it's not frustration at the Seattle media. It's frustration
- 21:18Speaker 8: on where the team is at right now. Like you said,
- 21:20Speaker 8: they're in all these games, they're just you know, they
- 21:23Speaker 8: can't get over the top and I think that frustration
- 21:26Speaker 8: probably came out in that postgame media vail and that's
- 21:30Speaker 8: what you saw and heard there. I don't think that'll
- 21:33Speaker 8: happen again.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I am concerned just a little bit about how
- 21:38Speaker 5: long it's taken them to kind of reverse the trend here.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Yesterday was a moral victory as far as how well
- 21:44Speaker 5: they played, taking you know, ended up having the lead
- 21:47Speaker 5: against the team that's, you know, arguably the best team
- 21:50Speaker 5: in the NHL right now. But moral victories don't pay
- 21:52Speaker 5: the bills. Moral victories are not going to be enough.
- 21:55Speaker 5: And so I mean, is there is there something besides
- 21:59Speaker 5: just they're just not finding that little thing at the
- 22:01Speaker 5: end that the other team does. Is there something in
- 22:04Speaker 5: general where it's like yesterday, I know, I was listening
- 22:07Speaker 5: to you and Fitz and you guys are talking about
- 22:09Speaker 5: how many block shots there was, and that to me
- 22:12Speaker 5: is just a toughness thing. I would imagine where you
- 22:14Speaker 5: just got to sit there and be like, yeah, go ahead,
- 22:16Speaker 5: slap shot, I'll put my body in front of it.
- 22:18Speaker 3: That doesn't sound all that fun.
- 22:20Speaker 5: And yet it was working and it kept them in
- 22:22Speaker 5: the game, even had the lead into the third period.
- 22:26Speaker 5: And so is there a toughness thing that you're seeing
- 22:29Speaker 5: that they did yesterday, even though it didn't turn into
- 22:31Speaker 5: a victory.
- 22:32Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, I mean, Bucky, the block shots were two
- 22:36Speaker 8: to one, I think at the end of the second
- 22:37Speaker 8: period twenty to ten for the cracking. And you know,
- 22:40Speaker 8: on the one hand, you might say, well, you wouldn't
- 22:42Speaker 8: have to block so many shots if you didn't give
- 22:43Speaker 8: this team so many shots on goal. But they knew
- 22:45Speaker 8: they were facing this high octane Colorado Avalanche team and
- 22:49Speaker 8: you knew that guys like Dathan McKinnon and Kill mccar
- 22:51Speaker 8: we're gonna be firing the puck. So your choice is,
- 22:54Speaker 8: you know, accept the fact that they're going to put
- 22:56Speaker 8: tucks on it, let those tucks get through, or sacrifice
- 22:59Speaker 8: your boy to get in front of them as often
- 23:01Speaker 8: as possible. And that's what they were doing. So absolutely
- 23:03Speaker 8: there's a toughness factor there. They knew they had to
- 23:06Speaker 8: sign up for that to be in the game, and
- 23:08Speaker 8: that's a big reason for the for why they were
- 23:11Speaker 8: in the game. I think, you know, as far as
- 23:13Speaker 8: moral victories go, I would put it more as a
- 23:19Speaker 8: forward looking victory, meaning that the last four games here
- 23:23Speaker 8: before Christmas, they're going to face Calgary, San Jose, Anaheim,
- 23:25Speaker 8: and LA and they're going to face those teams are
- 23:29Speaker 8: all in the Pacific Division, All but Calgary are above
- 23:32Speaker 8: them in the standings. You have to go out and
- 23:34Speaker 8: win those games. And I think that if you play
- 23:36Speaker 8: the way you did last night, not only will you
- 23:38Speaker 8: put yourself in a position to win, but you could
- 23:41Speaker 8: have some statement wins in there.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Now.
- 23:43Speaker 8: Playing that way every single night, eighty two games a
- 23:45Speaker 8: year is not easy, but that I think they showed
- 23:48Speaker 8: themselves last night that they could play with this Colorado
- 23:50Speaker 8: Colorado Avalanche team. If they can play with them, they
- 23:53Speaker 8: can play with anybody.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Al Canski with us a segment that brought to you
- 23:56Speaker 1: every week by the Queen and Beer Hall. What a
- 23:59Speaker 1: fun place that is. I got to ask you about
- 24:01Speaker 1: Shane Wright. He going into last night, he had not
- 24:06Speaker 1: had a point since the fourth of December. He had
- 24:09Speaker 1: not had a goal since November twentieth, and I think
- 24:12Speaker 1: even what's most alarming, seventeenth on the team in ice time.
- 24:18Speaker 1: This was supposed to be I thought, potentially our best
- 24:22Speaker 1: offensive player this year. He did finally score a goal
- 24:26Speaker 1: last night. So what has been the problem that Lane
- 24:30Speaker 1: Lambert has had with giving Shane Wright more ice time,
- 24:33Speaker 1: and do you think that last night's goal may unlock
- 24:36Speaker 1: him for the year.
- 24:37Speaker 8: Well, I think it's gonna help for sure. And I
- 24:39Speaker 8: think that each game that goes by where the Kraken
- 24:42Speaker 8: don't end up on the winning side, Lane Lambert says, Okay, well,
- 24:45Speaker 8: who were my best players from last game, Let's reward
- 24:47Speaker 8: them for some more ice time. I think that's what
- 24:49Speaker 8: you saw with Freddie Gudreau, who has moved up the
- 24:52Speaker 8: lineup from the fourth line. He was in the top
- 24:54Speaker 8: line wing last night. So Maddy Veneer's, Mason marshmurt and
- 24:58Speaker 8: Jordan Eberley, that line that was kind of riding the
- 25:00Speaker 8: number one spot for at least half a dozen games,
- 25:04Speaker 8: if not most of the season, dropped into that second
- 25:06Speaker 8: line position. And so I think, you know, Lane Lambert
- 25:09Speaker 8: will continue to reward the guys that are are playing
- 25:12Speaker 8: hard having success. And that line of right, Newman and
- 25:16Speaker 8: Coco last night was one of your best, if not
- 25:18Speaker 8: your best line out there. I think the Stevenson line
- 25:21Speaker 8: played very well also, but Jannie Newman was was was
- 25:26Speaker 8: was close on a couple of opportunities. He was involved
- 25:28Speaker 8: in that Shane Wright goal, he was. He had the
- 25:31Speaker 8: last touch before Right put the puck in the net.
- 25:34Speaker 8: I think Coppo Coco is another guy that you know,
- 25:38Speaker 8: Lane Lambert is trying to unlock him as well. I
- 25:41Speaker 8: don't think he's having as productive of a season as
- 25:43Speaker 8: he had last season, and he knows it, and so
- 25:46Speaker 8: he's trying to figure that out as well. So you
- 25:48Speaker 8: get those three guys going and gosh, by the end
- 25:51Speaker 8: of the season, they could be your second.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Or first line.
- 25:53Speaker 8: And so I think it's small steps. I think that
- 25:56Speaker 8: that that you know, we're all waiting for a breakout,
- 26:00Speaker 8: you know, six twelve games for Shane right, but it
- 26:03Speaker 8: hasn't come yet. And I think that last night getting
- 26:05Speaker 8: that goal gives him a little more confidence going into
- 26:08Speaker 8: this last four game set before Christmas, and that could
- 26:12Speaker 8: be a difference maker.
- 26:13Speaker 3: All Right.
- 26:13Speaker 1: So finally at Calgary, I call it Kyle Gary tomorrow
- 26:17Speaker 1: night as they take on the Flames. Not a very
- 26:20Speaker 1: good team. I mean, the way we're going. I know
- 26:22Speaker 1: that there's a lot of season left, but are we
- 26:24Speaker 1: getting into must win territory against a sub five hundred
- 26:29Speaker 1: team here tomorrow night.
- 26:31Speaker 8: Well, for a long time there we were looking at
- 26:33Speaker 8: Calgary going well, this is probably the team that's having
- 26:37Speaker 8: the hardest start to the season in the Western Conference
- 26:40Speaker 8: and certainly the Pacific Division. It's now Vancouver at twenty
- 26:43Speaker 8: nine points, and meanwhile Calgary at thirty is tied with
- 26:46Speaker 8: Seattle at thirty points. So Seattle has to look at
- 26:49Speaker 8: themselves now and say, we don't want to drop below Calgary.
- 26:52Speaker 8: We want to be the better team and we want
- 26:53Speaker 8: to start chasing these teams above as San Jose, La Evanton, etc.
- 26:58Speaker 8: So to do that, you've got to be the teams
- 27:00Speaker 8: that are sitting below you in the standings, and that
- 27:03Speaker 8: starts tomorrow night with this Calgary team.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Didn't Vancouver win the division last year?
- 27:08Speaker 8: Yeah, Vancouvers a tough run as of late. They just
- 27:12Speaker 8: traded away with Quinn Hughes and you know, lots of
- 27:15Speaker 8: talk about that trade. They got three first round our
- 27:19Speaker 8: three first round players that were chosen in the first round,
- 27:22Speaker 8: plus a first round pick for next year's draft that
- 27:25Speaker 8: could pay off depending on where that pick lands. But
- 27:28Speaker 8: you know, a couple of years ago they were in
- 27:30Speaker 8: the Stanley Cup contention hunt. So they've taken a big
- 27:34Speaker 8: step backwards. They're definitely in a retooling position right now.
- 27:37Speaker 1: All right, I was wrong about that, but yeah, they
- 27:40Speaker 1: certainly have. It was the year before. It was two
- 27:42Speaker 1: years ago that they won the division. All right, all
- 27:46Speaker 1: awesome stuff. Hopefully we get it going here starting tomorrow night.
- 27:49Speaker 1: We'll be listening.
- 27:51Speaker 8: Yeah, I appreciate it.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Boys.
- 27:53Speaker 8: You have a good holiday and I'll talk to you soon.
- 27:55Speaker 1: All right, sounds great. Happy holidays. Al Koniski has segment
- 27:58Speaker 1: brought to you by Queen Anne beer Hall, home of
- 28:00Speaker 1: the legendary smash Burger and your pre post and away
- 28:04Speaker 1: game headquarters. One last thing to wrap up this Wednesday
- 28:07Speaker 1: show next on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
- 28:18Speaker 1: my final segment of the radio program today. You know
- 28:22Speaker 1: how we do it. It is one last thing here
- 28:24Speaker 1: on this Wednesday. Buckey, what do you got?
- 28:25Speaker 5: I got a fantasy football question for you guys. So
- 28:29Speaker 5: I had Patrick Mahomes in the one league that I'm
- 28:32Speaker 5: still in the playoffs. I didn't make ours, and then
- 28:35Speaker 5: I got knocked out of the one of my old homies,
- 28:38Speaker 5: and so I'm in the one that's It's that with
- 28:41Speaker 5: the stupid rules that you get a point per rush thing,
- 28:44Speaker 5: which is fine because I have like five running backs
- 28:47Speaker 5: that get score like fifty points a week.
- 28:49Speaker 3: So I'm fine with that.
- 28:50Speaker 1: But my advice is to start Earl Campbell. She gots
- 28:53Speaker 1: like thirty five carries a game. Houston Oilers.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, good idea.
- 28:57Speaker 5: Now it's actually the replacement I had Baker Mayfield on
- 29:01Speaker 5: my bench. He hadn't really played exactly the same ever
- 29:04Speaker 5: since he kind of had that little shoulder injury a
- 29:06Speaker 5: few weeks back.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Bryce Young is out there on the waiver wire.
- 29:10Speaker 5: Bryce Young's going against They're playing each other, Carolina and Tampay.
- 29:13Speaker 3: They haven't played yet. They played this.
- 29:14Speaker 5: Week, not the following week and then the final week
- 29:17Speaker 5: of the season, which is poor scheduling on their.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Part, I think.
- 29:19Speaker 5: But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are like the thirty first
- 29:24Speaker 5: rinked team as far as.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Giving up points.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Would you go Baker Mayfield against Carolina or would you
- 29:31Speaker 5: go Bryce Young against Tampa Bay? Is more porous Secondary
- 29:35Speaker 5: Mayfield Baker Mayfield. That's what I have right now, But
- 29:39Speaker 5: part of me is debating it.
- 29:40Speaker 6: I think you can assume a more consistent number from him.
- 29:45Speaker 5: It's Kirk Cousins scored sixty how many was it fifty
- 29:48Speaker 5: six points against Tampa Bay last week.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Yeah, Kirk Cousins. Yeah, Well, part of mayfield struggles have
- 29:56Speaker 1: been nobody's been healthy. He's got Evans back, he's got
- 30:00Speaker 1: Godwin back, he's got Bucky Irving back, He's got everybody
- 30:03Speaker 1: back finally, and last week they were back together for
- 30:06Speaker 1: the first time. So second time around, Tampa Bay's been here,
- 30:09Speaker 1: done that, Carolina has it, and Carolina couldn't move the
- 30:12Speaker 1: ball against New Orleans last week, So I think that
- 30:16Speaker 1: I would go. I think Mayfield's not only the higher floor,
- 30:19Speaker 1: I think he's also the higher seiling.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Correct.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 2: I just think the problem with Caroline is you don't
- 30:22Speaker 2: know what you're getting any given week.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like a wild card.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I mean, I'm benching Ted McMillan, who I've started every
- 30:29Speaker 1: single week this week because he's got five catches in
- 30:32Speaker 1: his last five three games plus a bye week in there.
- 30:35Speaker 1: So I've gotten five catches in four weeks from a
- 30:38Speaker 1: guy that was killing it for me. And now Bryce
- 30:41Speaker 1: Young's favorite target for whatever reason is Jalen Coker. Yeah,
- 30:44Speaker 1: thanks a lot.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Yeah, the injuries are throwing a loop, I'm sure in
- 30:48Speaker 5: a lot of people's because I have Travis Kelcey in
- 30:50Speaker 5: that league too. Now they him and Patrick Mahomes didn't
- 30:53Speaker 5: like kill it this year the two headed monster like
- 30:55Speaker 5: I had hoped. And yet he still is like the
- 30:57Speaker 5: fourth ranked tight end in this league format.
- 31:00Speaker 3: And yet now I'm like, I.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Picked up Dalton Schultz just because I'm like, if who's
- 31:04Speaker 5: if Gardner Minshew can't connect with with Travis kelce.
- 31:09Speaker 3: I might have to make a switch in the championship round.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Ashley what he got for one last thing?
- 31:12Speaker 6: Well, you know, we were talking earlier about the Knicks
- 31:14Speaker 6: and their NBA Cup and what a big deal it
- 31:17Speaker 6: was because the NBA Cup is so great.
- 31:20Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw this, but the
- 31:22Speaker 2: Knicks are not going to hang a banner for the
- 31:25Speaker 2: NBA Cup. They said they've got bigger goals.
- 31:28Speaker 6: I guess they want to win something called an NBA Championship.
- 31:30Speaker 2: I've not heard of this.
- 31:32Speaker 3: I think that's the second one more respect than that.
- 31:34Speaker 6: But I did find it very entertaining that on X
- 31:37Speaker 6: it says Nicks and fifty two year drought with NBA
- 31:41Speaker 6: Cup final win over Spurs, and I thought fifty two
- 31:43Speaker 6: year drought, oh, Because they're saying it's their first trophy
- 31:46Speaker 6: since nineteen seventy three.
- 31:48Speaker 2: That's what we're call it this, so it's equivalent.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Now, I want Willis Reid to limp back out onto
- 31:54Speaker 1: the court and slap whoever tweeted that.
- 31:56Speaker 6: Yeah, I was like, okay, that's what I want to
- 32:00Speaker 6: see that, you know, the thing in the today's news.
- 32:03Speaker 6: So it puts it all. It's just the ai combination
- 32:05Speaker 6: of everything. But I'm like, their first trophy since nineteen
- 32:08Speaker 6: seventy three, not quite the same.
- 32:09Speaker 2: That would be like if I made them a trophy.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Not that cool.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well that's true.
- 32:14Speaker 6: Mine might be actually more prestigious. Sorry, I'm silver not
- 32:17Speaker 6: that you're listening.
- 32:18Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to close out with this. And
- 32:19Speaker 1: Andrews and I are getting ready to record the latest
- 32:22Speaker 1: episode of Stove, so I'll get a chance to expand
- 32:25Speaker 1: on this on that. Have that out for you a
- 32:27Speaker 1: little bit later on today. But these Brendan Donovan trade
- 32:31Speaker 1: rumors to the Mariners, you know how they say, where
- 32:35Speaker 1: there's smoke there's fire, there better not be any smoke.
- 32:38Speaker 1: I don't want to see smoke. There's smoke there, They're
- 32:41Speaker 1: better not be any fire. I better not find out
- 32:43Speaker 1: there's any fire. I mean, I just had Matt Hobbs
- 32:45Speaker 1: from our sales staff called me over and he said,
- 32:47Speaker 1: I've even heard cold Emerson being dragged into rumors. I
- 32:51Speaker 1: want to tell you this right now. If we trade
- 32:53Speaker 1: cold Emerson for Brendan Donovan, I'm going to start rooting
- 32:56Speaker 1: for the Astros.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be bad.
- 32:58Speaker 1: All right, this is out, Siriah, I am about this.
- 33:01Speaker 1: We're not trading cold Emerson for Brendan Donovan. We're not
- 33:04Speaker 1: trading Las Montes for Brendan Donovan. We're not trading Ryan
- 33:07Speaker 1: Sloan for Brendan Donovan. There's a handful of guys I'm
- 33:11Speaker 1: not trading. Why don't we just throw Cal into the trade?
- 33:13Speaker 1: Oh God, while we're at it. I mean, this is well,
- 33:16Speaker 1: this is this absurd. I mean, this guy is a
- 33:19Speaker 1: fine player and that's it. And we are not gonna
- 33:22Speaker 1: trade anybody with the potential for greatness, not even one
- 33:25Speaker 1: of them, for a fine player for the next two years.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Just I mean, I unless unless they're is hair brained
- 33:34Speaker 1: as some of these. I just think it's Saint Louis
- 33:37Speaker 1: fans who started newsletters or whatever and are starting these
- 33:42Speaker 1: rumors and then for whatever reason, John Paul Moros's of
- 33:47Speaker 1: the world are treating it like it's truth. I just
- 33:51Speaker 1: can't imagine. I just can't. I just can't even fathom.
- 33:53Speaker 1: If I see Las Montes for Brendan Donovan, I'm gonna
- 33:57Speaker 1: lose my ever loving mind.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, oh yeah, I would too. Yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 5: There definitely is some people that have too high of
- 34:03Speaker 5: a possibility, too high of a ceiling I'd like to
- 34:06Speaker 5: trade for.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to have the player. I think it'd
- 34:08Speaker 1: be a good addition to the team, but for the
- 34:10Speaker 1: right trade.
- 34:11Speaker 5: Value, right right, And I think that that's what they're
- 34:15Speaker 5: gonna do. I think I don't think they'd give I
- 34:17Speaker 5: don't think they give up last I think that's like
- 34:19Speaker 5: you said, somebody with a newsletter. It's like I think
- 34:21Speaker 5: emer I think, uh, you know, Las Montes would be
- 34:24Speaker 5: a great trade for him. I mean, he doesn't done
- 34:26Speaker 5: anything in the big league. Jets like, yeah, might hit
- 34:29Speaker 5: fifty bombs. Though your guy might hit fifty in the
- 34:32Speaker 5: next three years.
- 34:34Speaker 1: We can get Brian wu in a prospect, will trade
- 34:36Speaker 1: your brother Donovan? Shut up? Yeah, all right, we'll talk
- 34:42Speaker 1: to you tomorrow. It's a Mark and Chris Nex Sports
