  Speaker 1: and my family. I'm like, I'm coming in for Halloween
• 2:30

• 2:35
  Speaker 6: travel trend, right, So.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Nobody travels on Halloween. So I'm doing it, and we're
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: celebrating all the hall I've already told mom, I'm like,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not traveling on Thanksgiving anymore or Christmas anymore. With
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the weather, like you have to book and advance six
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: months in advance, and you don't know what the weather's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: going to be, and then especially going to the Midwest,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: if it's an ice storm, then all of a sudden,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go, you know. And and so
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm coming in. I know the weather's going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to be decent. So I'm coming in on Halloween, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to celebrate Halloween on Friday, Thanksgiving on Saturday,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Christmas on Sunday, and my Mom's birthday on Monday. That's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the plan. So we're to do a lot of celebrating.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's the plan as of right now. You never know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: with dysfunctional families like mine, how that could just blow
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: up in our faces. But yeah, I'm kind of done
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: traveling on the holidays. It's just why not. We live
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in a great part of America. It's a I mean,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: our weather has been fantastic this spring, and I don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: think we take enough time. I mean, usually we live
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and we commute, and we work and all that, and sometimes,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and I've noticed this in the last couple of years,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sometimes just fun to have a day off and go
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: see things right down the street that you don't get
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to see. So, yeah, I'm with you. I don't want
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to do any traveling on holidays anymore. It's I'm past it,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: old and grumpy.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Well I wouldn't. I was gonna say, yeah, absolutely,
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: like you're old and grumpy. But yeah, I mean we
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: did it for a Memorial weekend. We had to go
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: to Winachi for a softball tournament, because that's how everyone
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: spends Memorial weekend.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That's how you spend all of your holidays these days.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, although we don't have to do that this weekend.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: And it took us five and a half hours to
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: get home, six hours to get home because of traffic.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, it took us forever to get over there
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: or over there too, because Highway to is such a
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: disaster on a holiday weekend. But it's the coming home
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: that I don't want to It's like, oh, yeah, you're
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: excited when you're going out, Sure, that's fun, but it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: the sixth hour drive to come home.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I'm like, did I really want.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: To do that?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well yeah, whatever you're doing, even if you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to spoil. If you're planning and you're.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Excited about going out for doing it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You're excited to get out of town. You got the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: RV all packed up, you're ready to go spend the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Fourth of July weekend and Wyoming where the you're in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo room, where the elk will shoot off fireworks
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for you. I have no idea, but if you're doing that,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: have a great time. If you're just staying home, have
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a great time. Have a safe time out there. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I always have a couple of rules. Always have a sparkler,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at least one sparkler and potato salad. Okay, Like to me,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that screams Fourth of July right there. I agree.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: I think that's more than a hot dog.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of crave. I don't know if I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: crave hot dogs anymore, but I sometimes do crave. My
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: mom's potato salad this time of.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: The years has the best potato salad that you can buy.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's delicious.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good to know. I might pick that's right across.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: This is right down the street for me.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: See, I just helped you out for your Fourth of July.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I might go pick up some Eelle's potato salad.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: Won't be sorry, I'll tell you that much. All right, Well,
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: good morning, welcome into the radio show. We got a
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: lot of sports to break down today. What's on tap
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: coming your way here in a matter of moments, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: we'll map out the schedule for you here for our
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: final show for the fourth of July holiday weekend. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: of course we're celebrating America right out of the shoot
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: because Team USA is won its first knockout stage match
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: in the World Cup since two thousand and two, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: so it's on to the Sweet sixteen. And what's even
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: more exciting about that is that that matchup is going
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: to be played right here in Seattle. So Seattle's going
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: to be host.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And I can't even it is so cool like to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: hear the national broadcast and pretty much, I mean, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: think Santa Clara seems to be knocking it out of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the park. La seems to be knocking out Monterey, Mexico.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be knocking out of the park. All
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the host cities are doing a great job. But is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it just me? Am I reading into it? But they
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: always on all the broadcasts, they just keep mentioning like, oh,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: we're so glad that this match is going to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: played in Seattle. What a great home field advantage. Oh
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: my gosh, it's been a perfect setting so far for
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. Everybody's getting a raids. But maybe I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: being biased, but it feels like we're getting A plus grades.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: You're not being biased. There was actually even a report
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: done by the New York Times. I think like there
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: were there are people who have gone to all the
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: stadiums and it was Seattle in Atlanta where the number
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: one tied for number one all of all the stadiums
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: for the World Cup, just in the experience for the fans.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: And I don't know all the things they graded it on.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: But no, you are not being biased. And I do think.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, we've had some gray days this week, but
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Seattle's going to show off again on Monday. It's gonna
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: be sunny, it's gonna be in the mid seventies. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: gonna be perfect Seattle weather. And this I think I
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: was thinking about the broadcast that you and Stretch did
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: the last time the US.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Was playing, and how just hearing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Obviously I didn't go down there, but I drove along
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: the waterfront that morning and it looked amazing. And that
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: was before anyone was there, and I thought, gosh, our
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: city right now looks like a postcard.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I wish you could always look like this.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But then why can't it. Let's go ahead and do that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: That'd be awesome.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we cleaned it up, Let's keep it this.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be great.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Like it's like you go clean your okay, now
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: just maintain it right exactly. And yeah, but the atmosphere,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: and I mean, I just keep picturing you starting the
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: usach year and then the Australia people, you know, chirping
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: back with their oi oi oi.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: The whole thing was awesome. And this is going to
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: be that times like.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Fifty Well, that would be big, because that was pretty big.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: It was pretty big.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: But this, because that was everyone was excited to watch
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: USA play.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Now you're watching USA play in the round of sixteen.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's going to be epic and it'll happen
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Monday at five o'clock. So we know that. How did
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we get there? And who are we going forward with
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or without. Those are the topics that start the radio
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: show here today. So the US does defeat Bosnia. Final
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: score is to to nil last night, and once again
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: accolades for how well the team USA is playing and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: certainly did get the job done last night, till with
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a superb kick for the US for one of the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: two goals. I mean, you couldn't have put it in
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a better position. I think they're pretty skilled when it
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: comes to kicking a ball.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: It seems that way. Yeah, I learned that yesterday.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just now, you just now want to figured out
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: figured that out. But of course all the talk right
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: now is the red card that was given to I guess,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: our second best player, the guy that's been playing the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: best throughout the tournament for US. But Balligan ends up
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: inadvertently and it no. I mean, that's one soccer injury
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that looked like it hurt.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like he had a right to grab his ankle
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: and roll around.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he stepped on his ankle, but it looked I mean,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's a sport where you are constantly getting your feet tangled.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: It's impossible not to and that's what leads to all
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of the US w's. The unnecessary soccer riving because you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you can always i mean, you're always getting your feet tangled,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: so at any point you can just collapse in a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: heap and cry and try to get some sort of penalty.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: This was not one of those type situations. I mean
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: they got their feet tangled both going after the ball,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and Baligan did step on his ankle, and that looked
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: very painful, certainly, and of course he did sw even
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't a USW there was certainly some soccer
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: writing that took place on the pitch. But to go
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to review and to come back with a red card,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: which not only means the team USA has to play
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a man down, it also means that we won't get
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Balligan back for Monday. So he has to set out
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Monday's match as well, the most important and the biggest
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: match to date in US soccer history. You might argue,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and we're not going to have our second best player
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: because of a penalty, and maybe again, then have to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: admit this, have to confess this. You've probably figured it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: out already. I'm not a big soccer fan, so I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: don't really know how to break this down. Somebody, I'm
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: sure that is a soccer fan will tell you, hey,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: rules a rule, that's a red card, that's what should happen.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That's a soccer fan. But from my perspective, from a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: lot of people's perspective, from a lot of analyst perspective
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: from last night that we're discussing, it no malicious intent.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: There was no malice involved in that play. Therefore a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: red card should have not come out. And so a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: lot of people are complaining about this ruling and wondering
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how you could go to review. We have review now.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: If it happened at pre review days, then.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: It would have been to the up to the on
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: field referees.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe you understand it all right, that looked bad,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: But once you have review and you take the time
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and we really I mean, I think every sport is
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: trying to keep its best players out on the pitch
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: so that every team can give its best effort that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: particular day rather than take something away from them. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for us to lose one of our top guys over
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: something that just looked like tangled feet as opposed to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: some malicious intent, it seems wrong. It seems like they
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: aired in this area and it's got people pretty worked up.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think rightfully.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: So I kind of went down a little bit of
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: a rabbit hole last night because I was learning about
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: VAR and the Video Assist referee, and it seems like
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: he shouldn't have ever even stepped in in that situation,
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: but he watched the replay and thought that Baligan was
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: dangerous in his play. And so that's why I think
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: the on field referee was gonna maybe give a yellow
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: card maybe, and then the VAR stepped in and was like, no,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: you need to watch this and showed them these pictures
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: in slow motion.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Well, in slow motion it looks terrible. Yeah, so in
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: slow motion you see these.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Photos, Well, I guess at that point he had no
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: choice but to give a red card for how it looked,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: but in slow motion and these photos. And so that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: what most people are having the issue with is that
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: the VAR shouldn't that shouldn't have even been a play
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: that he stepped in on. And that's where I was like, well,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: that makes no sense. So if you if you call,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: if the VAR calls you in, then you have to
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: give a card.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: That seems silly.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Well and again, and I know the rules are different,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but I think back to Wimby's elbow that he threw
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in the Wolves series where he caught naz Reid in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the face, kind of in the face area, And certainly
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you want to legislate that out of your sport. You
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: don't want So that's some reckless play. I don't know
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: if I don't think that Wimby was trying to like
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: elbow someone to injure them. But he was playing, he
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: was frustrated, he was playing that aggression. What's the wording
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that you used, that he would playing reckless dangerously? So yeah,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but and he got penalized and that ends up tacking
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: against him, so that he was you know, he was
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: on a thin line. Now, I was on some thin
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: ice that if he did something like that again, he
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: might have had to miss a game, right, But to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: go after a ball aggressively and yes, injure a player,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: for the penalty to be you're out of the game.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You have to play shorthanded, and you can't have that player.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: He's too dangerous for our sport to play in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: next game. I mean, that is to me, way over
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the top. I mean, that is way too big of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a penalty for that particular.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Foul, for something that Yeah, everybody said, seemed like incidental contact.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, did it hurt the guy from Bosnia?
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, that looked like it hurt his ankle. But
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: it wasn't a malicious intent. It wasn't intentional. There wasn't
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: any malice going into it, and so it's yeah, it
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: just seems like such an a just penalty. And then
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: I think what makes it even more annoying is that
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: you can't appeal it. They FIFA can tack on added
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: suspension or penalties, but nobody can go and appeal the suspension.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: And that's the part I don't understand.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, you'd think they'd look and be like, you
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: know what, Yeah, that wasn't as bad.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: He can go back into the next game. You've already
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: penalized him.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: The team already had to play man down, and he
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: already had to miss the last thirty minutes of the game.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Well, and we saw yesterday. I mean there were three matches,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: two of them rather thrilling, and then the US may not.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it was thrilling for us because that's who
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we're rooting for, but it may not have had the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: same elements to it that the previous two matches did. Yesterday,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but all three of them sort of featured something that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: an American who's had a hard time giving himself to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: this sport, I E mean, huh, would be very frustrated by.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: In our match, it's that red card. How could that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: be such a big penalty. Secondarily, and this is something
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: we've talked about throughout. We were down a man and
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: we did not really struggle at all on the field.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So why do I have experts telling me that you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't put two guys on Messi? Right?
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: Am? I?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Like I was told? Though, no no, no, no, no, no
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: no no. If you put two guys on Messi and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: they just shadowed him, that would weaken you defensively in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: so many Well, we just played without a man completely
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and didn't give up a goal, and not not for
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: like two minutes, for like thirty thirty minutes and didn't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: give up a goal. So why then I need to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: be reminded? Maybe Pete Fewing will tell us the seven
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: oh five? Why can't you double tea? If if Messi's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that dominant, if the if Imbappe's that dominant, why can't
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you put two three guys on him? Uh? If you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: can cover the field with ten against eleven, you should
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: be able to. Yeah, you know, played defensively. Okay, So
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that's one thing that was one of the matches, the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: second match, the Belgium Senegal. There is no way, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I get, I understand, but that's the rule. Well, it
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be the rule. You should not have such an
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: easy kick to decide that match. Now, if it's something
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like Tillman and you've got to kick it, arc it
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: over the guys that are protecting their nuts, the wall
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of nut protectors, if you have. If it's that, fine,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: but there is no way, after that grueling of a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: match to two and that I don't care where the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: penalty is created, that somebody should have a penalty kick
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: right there in front of the goalie who's two feet wide,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: standing in front of barn doors, and that should decide
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the outcome of a match that was just played two
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: two over ninety minutes. Yeah, I can't stand that they
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: make that that penalty so easy, just like I can't
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: stand that the penalty against Balligan would be that harsh, Right,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: How could the penalty in that moment lead to such
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: an easy scoring opportunity. So that's another thing and then
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: here's the other. And then in the England match, it's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: kind of like England. You know, the person that sits
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there and they brag all the time that you meet
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: about how you know, I was this kind of athlete
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: back in college and I did this and this and this,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you get together on
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a Saturday and like, okay, you were a volleyball player,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: let's go play volleyball there. I don't know, back that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: kind of hurts. I don't know. I'll play, but you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: don't expect a lot out of me. I mean, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty I've been on sedatives. And they start making
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: excuses while they're heading out onto the pitch. I get
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that from England, like this is our sport. We're the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: best at it, and this is what we do best.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: We're not great athletes in this country. We don't really
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: excel in any other sport, but this one man, we
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: are the best in the world, or we're at least
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: in the conversation. And it just feels to me like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: every World Cup all they do is set up excuse. Well,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it's too we're not used to playing in this heat.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We're not used to we're not used to having to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: play at such high altitude. Last night it was altitude.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: The game before the match before it was heat. It
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: feels like England always comes to the World Cup with
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: built in excuses just in case they don't get the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: job done. Yeah, so not a thing that frustrates them.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I could understand that that would be annoying.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: I hadn't heard their excuses so high altitude.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: They said, they were complaining they weren't used to high altitude,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and then the match before they were talking about the heat,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and then the match before they were talking about, well
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: we don't have the food that we normally eat. I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: mean it's always built in excuses. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: come to the World Cup with more excuses than they
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: do soccer balls and so so there were things about
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: every match yesterday that do that do frustrate me. It's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what kind of keeps me from becoming a fan of
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: this sport. But certainly we've got a lot to celebrate,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a lot to promote here today, and we've got some
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: good breakdown analysts for us to do that. So let's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: find out what's.

• 20:40
  Speaker 1: They moved around sixteen as I mentioned, Monday right here
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: in Seattle, five pm, and we will take on Belgium,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and we will take them on without Balligan, who's been
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: our leading score throughout the tournament. He will be suspended
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: because of a red card. For that match. We won't
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have to play a man down, though we still get to.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be like an even more extreme.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do get to put eleven on the field.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: He just can't be one of them. World Cup yesterday
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Belgium and England rallied to advance. Today it's Australia versus Egypt,

  Speaker 1: And then you're gonna have Columbia versus Ghana in the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: National Basketball Association and we are going to talk about
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: this today. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers are the team
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that acquired the Boston Celtics Jalen Brown yesterday, and it
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: has NBA people they're just in a tizzy. They cannot
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: believe how lopsided that this trade is, that Philadelphia arrival
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of the Celtics ended up with one of the top
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: ten basketball players in the world, and compared to other
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: blockbuster trades, how little Philadelphia had to give up an
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: order to get him. So we're going to talk about
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that with Tim Reynolds today from the AP. Also, we'll
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: break it down our selves as well. Storm versus Mercury
• 22:02

• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of July traditions, Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, some of

• 22:47
  Speaker 1: fourth of July. The Nathan's Hot Dog and Joey Chestnut's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: still going. I mean, you want to talk about endurance.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I mean we are talking maybe Mount Rushmore, one of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the top four athletes we've ever seen to stay at
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the top of his game for that long a period
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of time. Man, I mean, it's Jordan Ruth Chestnut, pure athleticism,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and then fill in the blank, Gretzky. Maybe finally, Mariners
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Angels tonight. They took last night off, so they will
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: play tonight at six point forty. It will be Bryce
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Miller versus Walbert Arena. If you haven't heard of him,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I understand, yeah, but he's been very good this year.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: It's been the one pleasant surprise for the Angels so
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: far this season. We'll find some time to talk some
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: baseball later in the show, but coming up next. If
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear Hugh Millen breaking down Nick emon Worri yesterday,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: well you need to hear it next, some passion from
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: our QB one talking about just how good Nick emon Wo.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He was probably better than you even realize last year
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: as a rookie. It's our Seahawks one Series recap, our

• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Also, I say, also make sure you hide a bottle
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: of booz somewhere so they don't drink at all.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hide a bottle of booze. I got one. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: think I got a tainted bottle of booze.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's rough.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I do. And it was like a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: really expensive brand. But I've had a few SIPs.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Of it and it ain't going well.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It's not making me sick, but there's something off about it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm gonna throw it away.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Today though, I'm sad for that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it, all right. We roll into our seven
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour and we've got Pete Feuing joining us here
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in two minutes. So let me rip through your headlines,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and they are brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Light Juice. Chill Us wins over Bosnia two nil last night,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and so it's their first knockout stage win in the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: World Cup since two thousand and two. They enter the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: round of sixteen. They come in roaring into the round
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of sixteen, and they will next play Monday versus Belgia
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: right here in Seattle at five o'clock. Of course, we
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: will be without Balligan, who is arguably our best player.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He's in the conversation. He was given a red cart
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: yesterday and that means he can't play on Monday, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: there is no appeal process, something that we'll ask Pete
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Fewing about here and now a minute and a half
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: from now. Other results from yesterday, England rallied to advance.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Also Belgium rallied to advance yesterday. Today and this is
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: different than what I said at six o'clock. I got
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it wrong. We corrected it at six point thirty, but
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I'll get it right this time. Spain Austria. Today you've
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: got Portugal and Ghana, and you've got Switzerland and Algeria.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It's not Ghana. I got it wrong again. Damn it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: What did I write now, Croatia, It's not Ghana. Why
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: did I write down Gonzerland Algeria. Yes, that's got that
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: one right. Portugal Croatia is what I got wrong. So
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Portugal Croatia is also going to happen here today. Some
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: other news NBA Jalen Brown has been traded from the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia seventy six or something. We'll
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: talk about today at eight and nine o'clock. Storm Mercury
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Tonight at seven o'clock. Wimbledon continues through the holiday weekend.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Nathan's Hot Dog eating Contest tomorrow as well, where Joey
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Chestnut is back to prove he's one of the greatest
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: athletes of all time. I haven't gotten one laugh for
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that today. Also, Mariners back in action tonight against the Angels.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller versus Walbert Urrena is your pitching matchup six forty.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: They didn't play last night because of World Cup. Tip
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: of the cap to the World Cup. So rarely do
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you see a series interrupted this way. But they'll be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: back at it, same two teams tonight. Not even a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: day game on a Thursday, tonight, six forty. First pitch
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and then the Toronto Blue Jays make their way in
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to town Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All right, those are
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: your headlines, brought to you by Frost Brewed. Course, like
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: choose chill, it's now time to chat with a local
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: legend farmer, the pride of Burian Washington. He's a player,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: he was a co chaer in Seattle and of course
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a broadcaster on the Seattle Sounders broadcast crew for years
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and he's been a big part of our World Cup
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: coverage show. We're leaning into the knowledge of Pete Fewing
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: quite a bit here at the station throughout this past month,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and we're going to do it right now on Chuck
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and Buck. Hi, Pete, how are you, Chuck?
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Good morning? Thank you for the shout out for Burian.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: There you go that. Yeah, tell me give me a
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Burian memory as a child. Fourth of July Burian memory
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: from Pete Hewing.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, Burian Parade for sure, going too that. I think
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: we might have been in that parade when we were
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: about eight seven or eight years years old with the
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: high Line Eagles, our youth soccer team turned into the
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: PanAm Eagles, and I bowed with I was a high
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Line high school pirate, eighty one state champs. We'll throw
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: that in there. And Tyler Geving also was a Highline pirate.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Nate Dallacon is the current coach at Seattle University a
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: Highland pirate, and Tyler coach basketball at Seattle. You as
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: an assistant, was a head coach at University of Portland,
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: and it was our goal to ride in the back
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: of an old convertible Mercedes Benz in the Burian Parade
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: at some point and we'd make our own signs pretty selfless,
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: selfless plug for the Pirates and very high. So I
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: just saw Kenny Maine at one of the games. I
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: was with coach Schmitzer and we were kind of doing
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: the tour of the suites and I walked in and said,
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Kenny pte Hewing Burian and Brian Schmitzer, head coached the Sunders,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: appointed him. And he said, Brian Schmitzer Lake City, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Kenny Maine said, Kenny Maine, Kent, And that's how the
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: conversation started. So three of the State of Washington's finest
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: small communities. Forget Laurelhurst, Hunts Point, you know all those
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: great neighborhoods Bury and Kent, Lake City. That's where it's at.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: That's that's the magic right there. There's the magic, try magic,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: tryad right there. All right, well, let's it's great to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: have you on the show, and let's dive into last
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: night a two zero, huge win for Team USA over Bosnia.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And before we get into red card controversy, let's just
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: talk about how the team played. In your opinion, what
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: was the difference last night between Team USA and Team Bosnia.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: It's a great question. We finished our chances Balagan got
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: a ball that was a bit misplayed. He turned, cut
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: it to his left and slotted it and put it
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: in the back of the net. And and then Tilman
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: had a phenomenal free kick in the second half when
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: we were down a man. Baligan had been ejected at
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: that point in the sixty fourth minute, and so Tilman
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: hits a fantastic shot. The goalkeeper hoped that the wall
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: would cover the near post, he would take the back post.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: Tilman had a knuckler up and over and back down
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: and was a fantastic goal. So honestly, Chuck at the
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: end of the day, came down to two quality executions.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: This team has some fantastic talent, right so Bosnia they
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: have a kid on the bench named Meek and he's
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: there leading goal score with two goals. Didn't start the game,
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: which I'm always kind of curious about. Then came into
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: the game, Oh gosh, maybe the eighty fourth minute, I'm thinking,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: and hit one that knuckled and curled out and just
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: missed the post to the far post from about twenty
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: two yards out, a little wide right, and then the
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: exact same but on the other side. He was on
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: the right side of the and he hit it maybe
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: maybe a foot wide left. So if you're boiling it down,
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: we executed. They didn't execute. It was a hard fought battle.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: There was a little extra late challenges, and you have
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: to expect that now in the round of thirty two
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: and round of sixteen won't be any different. These are
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: these are teams that want to win desperately in the
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: physical part and dealing with the emotion that I thought
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: the US did a fantastic job of not getting caught
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: up in some of the antics. So which I was
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: at the Senegal game earlier in the day and Senegal
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: was up to nothing, playing great, beating Belgium, and then
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: Synegal started to get into the antics. In Belgium. The
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: Synegal coach said, it's not an eighty five minute game,
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: it's a ninety minute plus stoppage and Belgium game in
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: late with two goals and then one around penalty kicks.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: So teams that stay focused, the teams that have some quality,
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: meaning the final pass, the final cross, and the final
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: shot are the ones moving forward. You know, it's simple,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: but it's very difficult.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: What does it say about Team Ussay's defense and also
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Poachattino's adjustments. One, you do lose a man when you're
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: playing a man down for as long as Team USA
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: was playing last night.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah. One, the unity in this team is fantastic. The
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: maturity is equal to that many many of these guys
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: in this lineup on the twenty two team, but they
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: were four years younger and so they've grown quite a bit.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: Back then, they were working their ways into their European clubs,
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: coming off the bench and becoming starters. Now most of
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: them are wont to fight starters. So we're a much
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: more mature team than we were four years ago and seasoned, driven,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: more driven. There's been a lot of criticism that these
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: guys can't get it done with all the talent and
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: you know, high salaries that they're getting, and so they're
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: answering the bell that the water breaks have been kind
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: of an interesting twist to this World Cup, and because
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: it's basically you're now playing four quarters, uh, because coaches
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: get a chance to regroup. So so Belligun's red card
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: came right before the second half water break, and Pochettino
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: took no time in giving them directives. So they went
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: from and he's played three at the back, and then
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: five in the midfield kind of stacked on top of
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: each other, and then one up front. And this one
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: he went back to the Paraguay lineup, which was a
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: four to two, three to one. But when you lose
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: a player, you're you're down to ten men. So they
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: went basically a low block of four. It was a
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: four to four to one, and then oftentimes the one
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: that was trying to hold up the ball up higher
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: up the field just slid back in and then it
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: became a five to four four that's it. And then
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: sometimes it was a four or five and they were
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: just hanging on. They did a fantastic job of clearing
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: balls away from dangerous spaces. In the two friendlies before
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: the World Cup started with Germany and Senegal, we had
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: a tough time getting out of pressure and it cost
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: us i think three goals in total in those two games.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: They did much better. They did if you look at
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: some of the play out of the back. They did
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: so well playing in that under that pressure. Our captain
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Kim Reims, you know, every keeps saying he's thirty eight,
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: is he too old? He was exceptional last night. So yeah,
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: but Youtino just said, hey, we're you know, they never
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: played to not lose, and I think that's really important
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: when you play to not lose. I think Senegal is
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: a victim of that. When you play to not lose,
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: you it can come back to bite you. I had
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: about four of my former players text me last night
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: about and they said. All they said was soccer gods.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: And I'm a believer in the soccer guide. But if
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: you do things right, it's a small g, it's not
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: a big g. The soccer gods will reward you. And
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: just to clarify, and they come from a Jesuit school,
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: so we don't want to get hot water with the Jesuits.
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: But so the US did really well to just stay composed,
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: not get caught up in the antics, and then really
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: play out of top pressure and went in doubt just
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: send it forward untill, you know, kind of ice the
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: puck a little bit. So yeah, yeah, it was a
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: great win, great win for the US.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Pete Fewing is with us lending his expertise towards last
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: night's to nothing win over Bosnia for the team USA
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to advance to Monday's round of sixteen, which we will
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: get to here in a moment, let's talk about the controversy.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I think I can speak on behalf of people who
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: aren't die hard soccer fans in America that have obviously
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: gotten into the World Cup and the US has run
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and they're outraged over and can't make sense of why
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Baligan would be taken out of the game, uh, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: why he wouldn't be available for Monday? So why what? What?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: What is the explanation. Do you share the same outrage
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: as somebody that is obviously an expert at this sport.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Do you share the same outrage or do you see
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: why Balligan's not going to be available on Monday?
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I see closer to though, I see why. Here's
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: Klaus was a referee, and I thought he did just
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: to be blunt. I thought he was The referees have
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: been phenomenal. I think they've been exceptional in all the games,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: and it's that's been in the commentary of the announcers
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: quite a bit, just how impressive they've been. I thought
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: Kaus did this one, and he there was a couple
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: of times Pulisic was Pulisic was pulled down from behind
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: and there was no yellow card, and he was definitely
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: advancing and it was sort of surprising, and so that
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: kind of gave the green light for Bosnia to continue
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: to foul with a little extra and there was a
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: lot of arms pulling jerseys back. And those are simple, easy,
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: clear cut yellow card. Knock it off. That's the message
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: you sent. None of those messages were sent. So Balagun
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: was the first card of the game, and it was
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: a straight red and he definitely got him. I mean,
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: it looked you and I don't walk away from that tackle.
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: A twenty two year old walks away because they've got
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: rubber in their ankles, you know. But it was definitely
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: a hard, bad foul. But where the gray area comes
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: in is there was no intent. Balagun is a big guy.
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: His body momentum just carried him through it. I could
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: see that if they gave a yellow card Bosnia Herzegovina
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: would be upset that he didn't get the red. But
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: I could also see him saying, hey, the intent wasn't there.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: It wasn't studs up going over the top of the ball,
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: it wasn't blatant. It was body momentum carrying it through.
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: And you know, sometimes you look the great referees go.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: I don't want to. This guy's the leading goal scorer
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: for the US. He got two against Paraguay and one
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: last night, and so now he's got three and now
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: I'm taking him out of the biggest game in US
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: soccer's most recent history. So harsh is the word I
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: would use. I can see why he did it. It
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: was definitely a bad foul, but the intent wasn't malicious,
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: So that's you know. I had a lot of people
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: texting me, can they appeal it? They can, but I
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: don't think they're going to get it. I think they're
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: going to have to play this one without Ballagun and
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: that's really unfortunate.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: How's that going to affect money?
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: What? What?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: What does that? How does that affect the team's chances
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: against Belgium?
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: Well, it does, It affects them. Beligum is a big body,
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: and he can play with his back to the goal,
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: and he can post up, he could get through the box.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: Obviously a very very good finisher and good in the air,
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: good with both feet, especially his left foot composed Uh,
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: Peppy might be the guy or Wheya, but both of
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: those guys are a little more slight and they don't
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: play as well. Wh their back to the goal, they've
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: got to be running h at at players at defenders,
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: so I think it changes a little bit. It could
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: be that they go to two forwards to try to
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: get a little bit more help up front so that
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: somebody can turn and face, but that would be going
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: to three at the back. Belgium is a big, strong,
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: physical team. They they're are a little older in some areas.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: When they took their older guys to Brunna off they
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: the Cocu's holy cow, he's just lights out, blazing speed.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: So I think it changes our style of play. Poschatino
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: is very good at adjusting. Like I said, you know
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: we had when we lost Christian Pulisic, we went to
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: three at the back and then two up front. So
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: he'll definitely make adjustments. He's got what is today? You know,
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: it's funny, Chuck. Yesterday, I said, what's today? Saturday? And
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: they said, I know, you idiot, it's Wednesday. So many
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: games and somebody, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm in your studios.
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: You're in that cave and you come out and you
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: look and you go, wow, look at Elliott Bay. How beautiful. Okay,
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: go back into the room. The windows for another ten.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: We did four games two Saturdays ago, and I'm not kidding.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: I Brad Evans and I were on with Jackson Feltz
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: and Brad asked me a question and it was the
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: end I think it was after the fourth game postgame show,
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: and I'd asked me a question. I have no idea
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: what I said, and Brad didn't take his headset off.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: He just sat there in the commercial and I know
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: what he was thinking. He was like, that was the
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: dumbast answer I've ever heard in my life. So so anyway, yeah,
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: well they've got enough time to recover. Here's the funny thing.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Belgium has been training at the Sounders and Brian Fencer
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: is great. So it was Adrian Hanauer and I'm thinking, well,
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: let's go Boston Celtics and just start pumping the heat
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: up in the locker room and making the water bad,
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: and let's what can we do? What can we do
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: to ice Belgium a little bit? Hey, sorry, we're mowing today.
• 42:37
  Speaker 10: You guys can't train?
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sorry about that. I go use the turf over there.
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: We're gonna we're gonna put you out, you know, on
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: a centric field or something like that. All right, well
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: let me well, yeah, he's got time to change the topics.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, let me close with this. If the US
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: wins Monday and advances to the eight, how will that
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: match your enthusiasm that day you learned that you were
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: going to get to throw taffy out of the back
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: of a convertible at the Bury and fourth of July fair.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, how how will those two experiences compare?
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: Ye, well, it'll be close for sure, But I'm going
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: to give the nod. I'm going to give the nod
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: to the US that. Yeah. I've been to some World
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: Cup games in my younger days ninety four. It's funny.
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: We were in California and much younger ninety fours a
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: long time ago, and I remember afterwards a game broke
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: out in the parking lot and it was an international game.
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: There's probably thirty of us playing, and it was men
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: and women and people in jeans and flip flops. It
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: was super fun, and the police officers were all around
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: like they are in Seattle, and and I did have
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: a Budweiser and I just walked up to one of
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: the officers at the officer, would you mind holding this?
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: And within about five minutes, every officer had two beers
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: in each hand, and then and then he had They
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: had beers pinned between their four and their body. While
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: we were playing. They were our water, our water, guys,
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: and uh. And so none of these World Cups are tremendous.
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: They are a tonic for the world. They bring everybody together.
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: And so if they you and I think the US
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: we're hearing this a lot in the media, that that
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: people from all around the world are saying, these Americans
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: are nice people. And I love it. And if somebody's
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: wearing I have no I'm a friendly guy. And and uh,
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: if someone's wearing any kind of jersey, I'm happy to
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: high five them, start a conversation with him. And I
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: walked by a woman last night and I've got my
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: US top on and sweatshirt and she's got an England
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: top and I said, hey, congratulations on your wind. My
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: mom's from Manchester and she said, well, thank you very much,
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: that's very nice. Enjoy our country. So anyway, it's been great.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: So if the US advances Holy Cow, it's you know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Pochatina loves the movie Miracle and Ice and he is
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: continuing to write that script in the soccer version. So
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: it's pretty fun, awesome stuff. Thanks. Yeah, it's gonna surpass
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: Taffy by double at least.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, exactly, at least by double. All Right, Well, hey,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: great to have you on. We appreciate it. We'll bug
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: you again soon.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: All right, that sounds great. Thanks for having me on.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: I have a great date.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Pete for joining us right here on Chuck
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning, breaking it down for you.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Jackson Feltz will be with us a little later on
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: in the show at nine to thirty. Coming out next
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: on our radio program, We've got your ABC's of the ms.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: You didn't think we're gonna forget Sports Radio ninety three
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: point three kJ R f M figuring out math and
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: stats to make a point, enhance a point, whatever the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: case may be. And then after like a half hour
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: of it, you realize, oh, there's probably a website that
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: has done all of this for me. Yes, which just happened.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: So here we go, it's time for the ABC's of
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the MS. We'll get to all of that research coming
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: up at Jay how about that. But we're gonna start
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: with I, and I, unfortunately is for incompetent and that's
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: just where I'm at right now with Dan Wilson and
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: his bullpen decisions. Even in the victories the last couple
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: of days, I've ranted when we probably should have been
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: celebrating the pitching the last couple of victories against the Angels,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I still had a problem with the way Dan Wilson
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: used his bullpen. Even the day that George Kirby went
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: eight innings and made it as easy as could be,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I think he made the wrong choice. So I just
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get this, and I don't think
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that anybody's going to interfere, because I think Ashley at
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: this point somebody would have already done it if somebody
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: in the organization was having as big a problem. If
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I'm running the organization, dan Wilson's either not making those
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: decisions or he is going to know exactly how I
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: want it done. Right. There's an accusation that Jerry and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: is pulling all the strings on every thing and makes
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: every single decision. I've asked Dan Wilson, Justin Hollander and
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Jerry Depoto to their face, and they say that could
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: not be further from the truth. And so I don't
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: know what else research I need to do from that perspective.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I but if I was general manager, if or president
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: and I wasn't making those decisions, boy, I'd sure be
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: having some sit downs on how I want it done
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: going forward. I can't imagine anybody is happy.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: With I wouldn't think so with the.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Bullpen decisions that have been made by Dan here recently,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: throughout this season and maybe going all the way back
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to when he took over as manager. I know he
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: brings a lot of great things to the table, but
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's ever going to be good at this. Well,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: that's how I feel a year and a half, two
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: years into this Dan Wilson managerial step.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: And again, this may be a dumb question, but couldn't
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: Pete Woodworth, Like, couldn't we try it out that Pete
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: would make the decisions.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're his pitchers, right, he's their coach. He
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: kind of knows.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: No, I mean that's not the I mean not the job.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: Right, but Dan, it is Dan's job, and he's not
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: good at it, so like could be at least help.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably outside the scope of a pitching coach.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I think he contributes. I think your bench coach is
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the more likely guy, you know. I mean Joe torri
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: at Don Zimmer, and Don Zimmer made a lot of
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: those decisions for him when the Yankees were winning championships.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: So many acta who's been a manager should be that guy.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if the pair really know what
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: they're doing. I would like to stage Man versus Dan.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he can do this, but I
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: would like to be able to sit there and have
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the entire world see what I would do. Yeah, well,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I like, here's the change I would make actively,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Like there's a some sort of screen where he makes
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: the decisions, but I get to play along at home. Yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and like these are the decisions that I would make,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: and then run him through a computer and see how
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: they would have turned out differently.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, game simulation, that's Dan training Dan ne.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man versus Dan. I would like to stage that.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Jay is for Julio. We are entering July and this
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: is Julio time, and I think we're starting to see him.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: He's had a lot of bad luck this year. I
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's I think there is a statistic.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Andrews was just telling me yesterday. I think there is
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: a statistic I should have wrote it down, suggesting that
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: he's had about as bad luck as anybody in baseball.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what he was saying yesterday.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: So far this season, and I think he's had a
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: lot of line drives right at people. I think he's
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: had a lot of ground balls up the middle that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: he was defended perfectly and so he didn't come away
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: with hits. But I want a guy to hit line drives.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I want a guy to fail up the middle. To me,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: that means you're pretty close. And I think in the
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: last week, I think Julio's close. I think he's close
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: to breaking out. And there is just something about Julio
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and the calendar where these worlds come to together. I mean,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: this is where he starts to get hot every year.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, here are his ops is throughout his career,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and that's that's combined slugging an on base percentage, and
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: six hundred is bad, seven hundred is okay, eight hundred
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: is good, nine hundred is great, a thousand is phenomenal. Okay.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: So that's sort of the key that you go by
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: April and March throughout his career. Six point fifty nine
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: ops May seven ninety eight. That's across his entire career
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: June six ninety four. For the last four seasons, he
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: has entered the month of July with a six point
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: fifty one ops. No excuse me, a seven forty five
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: ops seven twenty one, six twenty five, seven ten, and
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: seven ninety nine. So never over eight hundred heading into
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: the month of July. And yet in the month of July,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez OPS is eight seventy six throughout his career.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: In August it's nine to twenty six, and then in
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: September nine to fifteen he turns into for whatever reason,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: in the second half of a season, an MVP type player.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: And so I think we've seen a better version of
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Julio through the first three months of the season than
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: we typically see and maybe have ever seen.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: I would think so.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: And now he's getting ready for the months. And maybe
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: it's psychological, maybe it's the weather, who knows what it is.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just some players can start hot, and some
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: players need the ramp up to get where they need
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: to be, and Julio, whatever reason, does not get going
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: until the month of July. Well, we didn't play a
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: game yesterday on July first, So Julio Rodriguez starts July
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: today and let's see if he can catch fire. So
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: combine the two things, his history and just eyeballing it,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's close to breaking out to me,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: and maybe we're going to see Julio Rodriguez catch fire.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: Well, and it's no surprise or coincidence. I don't think
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: that Julio is Spanish for July. I mean, it just
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: makes sense.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Science. Yeah, it's science.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: It's science.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: And then Kay Kay is killing us softly, so I'm sorry.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I mean I should end on a positive note, right,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: this is the last show we're going to have till Monday,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: so I should leave the ABC's on a positive note.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is, I do think
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Julio's close. I think we are going to see him
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: break out, and I think he's going to get ready
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: to go on a tear. I don't feel the same
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: way about cal Raleigh and any other player. We would
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: be killing cal Rawley for the first half that he's
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: having so far this season, but because it's cal Raleigh
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and he's below and he's coming off the season that
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: he came off of a year ago, and because he
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: brings so much more to the table than just his
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: offensive numbers. I mean, we get we're giving him as
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: much rope as possible. I mean, he's not taking the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: criticism that he's probably earned to this point in the season.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: And I don't certainly me talking about this isn't going
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: to add any more pressure to Cal Rawley's plate. He's
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: not even going to be made aware of this. You
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: all know that we love Cal, everybody loves Cal. But
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: he's got to get going right now. He has a
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: minus war. His war is worse than Johnny Parada's and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Mitch Garver's well, and that's an indication of their overall
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: contribution to the baseball team. And that's a cumulative stat.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: So he's had more time to accumulate war credentials than
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: what Parda and Garver have, And yet they both have
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: higher wars. They both have higher ops's, they both have
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: higher slugging percentages. Actually, I think Cal's is slightly above Mitches.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Johnny paradas is higher. They both have higher batting averages.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: They both have higher on base percentage Mitch Garver and
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Johnny Parade. I mean, think about what I'm telling you,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: if I would have said this at the beginning of
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the year, you run me out of town. Johnny Pareda
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: and Mitch Garver have outplayed cal Raley so far this season.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about that, Yeah, think about the magnitude
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: of that statement.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: That's shocking, honestly.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: And so we've got to get him going. And I
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: do trust that he will get going. But I didn't
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: see in his most recent at bats somebody that's like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like Julio looks close. I don't know if
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I feel that way about Cal. And we are now
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: half we're over halfway into this season. He's got to
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: get going. He's got to get going. So whatever whatever
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that takes, if that's pressure, whatever that is, I'm throwing
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: it out there. Cal Rawley has got to get going now,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: not tomorrow, not next year, not next month. He's got
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: to get going right now, right there alongside Julio, and
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna go on this tear we've been waiting for,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: and then we're gonna run away with the American League West.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: But we got to get him going. He can't be
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: a negative on our baseball team, which is what he's
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: been so far. This year, as painful as that is
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: to say out loud.
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I would say that I think that he
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: probably fully agrees with everything you're saying. He does have
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: to get going. He doesn't want to be a negative
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: on this team. He wants to contribute more than anybody.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I think it's probably killing him softly.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, coming up next, Well, when sports meets love.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: It is a magical combination and apparently this SPUVE needs
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: a major auditorium to contain it. SPUVE is next on KJR.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: All right, we roll into the eight o'clock hour here
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: on this Thursday, Chuck Pole, Ashley Ryan with you, and
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: we got a lot more ground to cover before the
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: show comes to a close today, So we appreciate you
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: being with us. And we haven't talked enough about the NBA,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: because what a crazy week it's been. What a crazy
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: last twenty four hours it's been joining us now to
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: provide his insight to Tim Reynolds. He's NBA writer for
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: the Associated Press. He does this stuff for a living,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's got a lot of thoughts about
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: what's been going on in the National Basketball Association. Good morning, Tim, Chuck,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Good morning how are you great? Thanks for being with us.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it. By the way, are you prepared We
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: talked about this in the last segment for how much
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: your life's going to change tomorrow night when Travis and
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Taylor finally get married. Are you prepared for how you're
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: going to feel?
• 56:58
  Speaker 10: You know, while that's half, I'm actually going to be
• 57:01
  Speaker 10: covering Lionel Messi here in Miami and the World Cup,
• 57:06
  Speaker 10: and I am told that Leo wants the match to
• 57:09
  Speaker 10: stop so we can all celebrate appropriately. I mean, it
• 57:14
  Speaker 10: is obviously the biggest thing in the history of in
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: the history of humanity. Yeah, the invention of the wheel,
• 57:23
  Speaker 10: and how big is the stage of this garden going
• 57:28
  Speaker 10: to be? The garden that they're building at the garden
• 57:33
  Speaker 10: My wedding was I can't speak for everybody else. My
• 57:35
  Speaker 10: wedding was sixty five people and we thought that was
• 57:38
  Speaker 10: just about right.
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: So, I know, I wish.
• 57:40
  Speaker 10: These crazy kids, these crazy kids, look, I mean the
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: worst part about a wedding, and I know we're way
• 57:45
  Speaker 10: off the path now, but how are they going to
• 57:47
  Speaker 10: go around to like a thousand tables and thank everybody?
• 57:50
  Speaker 10: They're going to be there for seven days? I think
• 57:52
  Speaker 10: if they because you know the reception. You got to
• 57:54
  Speaker 10: go around thank everybody. How's Travis can to get to
• 57:57
  Speaker 10: his prime?
• 57:57
  Speaker 7: Rip?
• 57:58
  Speaker 10: What's going to happen? There's a lot of deepais I
• 58:00
  Speaker 10: need to know, man, I need.
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: To know this stuff.
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: That's literally the only thing I could think of too.
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: You have a thousand people at your wedding. I could
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: barely say hi to the people at mine. Most of
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: them are going to be ignored.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not right, Yeah, well.
• 58:14
  Speaker 10: We have there's I'm telling you, I think Leo's right.
• 58:18
  Speaker 10: This is Argentina cape Verde might not be the biggest
• 58:21
  Speaker 10: thing in the world tom orow night, and that, frankly
• 58:23
  Speaker 10: scares me.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this about you, that you could stay
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: focused on your job when all of this is going on.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't call off, didn't tell your boss
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: I need the night off so that you could really
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: soak in the experience. From afar, Tim Reynolds is with
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: us here. We're going to talk some basketball. It seems
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: like the entire NBA community is and we're having sort
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: of Luka doncicch trade shock over how cheap Jalen Brown
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: came in the division from the Boston Celtics. Are you
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: in that same community or do you have a different react?
• 59:01
  Speaker 10: I have just about that reaction. I mean, it's so
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: clear that one of there can't be anything other than
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: these two options.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: One the mandate came down from.
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: Ownership that you have to move him, and you have
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: to move him by this date to allow us to
• 59:20
  Speaker 10: do other things.
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: To build a team.
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: Okay, that's fine. Or if the relationship between Jalen Brown
• 59:27
  Speaker 10: and Jason Tatum was just so fractured that Brad Stevens
• 59:30
  Speaker 10: was like, I gotta do this.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not.
• 59:36
  Speaker 10: The fact that it got out that he was the
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: centerpiece of Boston's offer to Milwaukee for Giannis. Jalen Brown's
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: a proud guy.
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 59:50
  Speaker 10: A couple of years from now, I'm sure he'll be
• 59:54
  Speaker 10: discussed as a candidate for the twenty twenty eight Olympic
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: team in LA and it's going to to be a
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 10: very tough sell because he feels like you should have
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 10: been on the team in twenty four and when the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 10: man I believe holds a grudge. So I don't know
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 10: if you get included in and he's been included in
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 10: trade talks before, but not to the level of Jannest
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 10: So I was stunned. I mean, Boston and Philly is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: a storied rivalries. They have gone head to head. When
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 10: you add in playoff games, they've gone head to head
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 10: like six hundred times. It's no two teams in the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: league have played each other more than Boston and Philly.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 10: They just mean, Boston just wasted a three to one
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 10: lead in the first round against Philly to end this season.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 10: There's history there. I think They've only made like a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 10: handful of trades and they're all pretty minor stuff. Although
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 10: weirdly the draft pick that became Jason Tatum was one
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 10: of those trades. But it's stunned me. To do it
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 10: in the East. To do it in your division, not
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 10: that divisions really matter much anymore, against your biggest non
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 10: Lakers rival of all time is crazy to me. And
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 10: to get to get picks that look, if Philly's good,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 10: those picks aren't going to be worth very much right
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 10: and and inspiring, Paul George, I just I can't. I'm
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 10: still stunned that that it went down. And now I'm
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: curious what's Boston's next move going to be, because as
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 10: currently constructed, this ain't it?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm? What about everybody else in the league. I
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: mean they had to, you know, knock on doors, kick tires.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, they hadn't have been shopping him around aggressively.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what we were hearing. How could there
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: not have been a better offer than that from another team?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, should we? I mean, everybody's flaming shooting, flaming
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: arrows at the Celtics, and for very good reasons. I'm
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: with you. I think that they got schooled on a
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: trade inside their own division. But should some criticism be
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: levied to some other teams across the NBA that might
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: be a Jalen Brown away from being a championship contender
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: that didn't come to the table with a better offer
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: than what Philadelphia gave.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: I don't see how it is a baffling part of this.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, obviously, everybody knew Boston was wounded. Everybody knew
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 10: Boston was going to have to take sense on the dollar.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: Now how many cents? I don't know. Portland, I mean,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 10: everybody had talked about Jalen Brown being on Portland's radar.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 10: Portland has four count them, four point guards on the roster,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 10: right now and they could play John Moran and Damian
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: Lillard together. They could where's Drew Holliday and then where's
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 10: Scut Henderson followed in next? So it just seems so
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 10: obvious that, Okay, Portland's going to move one of those
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 10: point guards, and Boston would love to have Drew Holliday
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 10: back Boston. Portland's going to move one of those point
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: guards and some draft capitals Boston. That makes some sense
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 10: to me, or give them, you know, it could have
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 10: been better than just Paul George. You could have moved
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 10: Drew and Scoot. You could have done a lot of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 10: different things. Charlotte was very much in the mix for this.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 10: Charles Lee has familiarity with Jalen Brown from his time
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 10: as an assistant up there under Joe Miszula. Jalen Brown
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 10: has a good relationship with Charles Lee. The Hornets keep
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 10: doing this one step forward, one step back thing in
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 10: moves that they seem to be making this summer. Jalen
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 10: Brown could have fit there. So if you were willing
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: to keep him in the East, why didn't Charlotte come
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 10: with more? Why didn't Charlotte just say, okay, we're acquiring
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 10: nos reed to we'll flip him there or whatever. I mean,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 10: I could at this point, most basketball fans probably would
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 10: have been able to accept nos Reed over Paul George
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 10: as a guy going to Boston. I'm not knocking Paul George,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 10: but yeah, you know, Nas is younger. Nas might have
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 10: a bigger upside at this point, Like even that would
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 10: have made more sense. So I'm with you the machinations
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 10: on how this came together. It's a complete head scratcher
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 10: and no matter how you look at.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: It, Yeahnolds is with us, NBA writer for the Associated Press,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: joining us here on Chucking Buck for the first time.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Great to have you with us. And there are a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: lot of crazy things that have been happening. I mean
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: the fortune that Toronto paid for Kawhi Leonard to bring
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: him back to Toronto. And we talked about this on
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: the show yesterday, like that's a guy that I think
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Tim might roll out of bed at any given day
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: and just say I'm going to go backpacking in Luxembourg
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: and You've got a game tonight, Kawhi. I don't care
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: to invest that much in a thirty five year old
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: who really is unpredictable at this stage to say it
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: to say it to the least at this stage in
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: his career also was a bit head scratching for me.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Makes sense of Kawhi to Toronto for that big of
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: a trade package.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 10: Well, first off, as we all know, very few people
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: actually go backpacking in Luxembourg. I believe you go spelunky
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 10: in Luxembourg.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: All right, I stand corrected, players, and.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: It's a common mistake. Don't worry if everybody said I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 10: think it's twofold. There is still incredible affinity between Raptors
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 10: fans and Kawhi Leonards. Even though nobody was very happy
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 10: that he left. After the one year, you did the ultimate.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: You brought the championship to Toronto. You're You're immortal in Toronto.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 10: I mean that's a city that's so starved for a winner.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 10: I mean it used to be a hockey town. The
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: Leafs haven't won a Cups since nineteen sixty seven. The
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: Raptors were the fun thing to do when the Leafs
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 10: weren't playing, and then they got very good and very real,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: and then Kawhi got them over the top and it
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 10: gave Toronto that ultimate moment that it hadn't had since
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 10: the Jays went back to back in ninety two and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 10: ninety three, so there's a lot of love there for him.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 10: I'm sure he feels very comfortable there. I think when
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 10: he looks at the totality of his career, he knows
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: he had a good thing in San Antonio and then
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 10: it wasn't at the end for a variety of reasons.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 10: I'm sure the Clippers, I think, had to do this
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 10: because look at what they got. Chuck Brandon Ingham's a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 10: good player, very good player. Grady Dick is a serviceable guard.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: It seems like that the Clippers have a lot of
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 10: guys in that role kind of right now. They got
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 10: back a ton of draft picks, and to me, that
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 10: says that they are anticipating losing a lot of draft
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 10: picks whenever this NBA investigation into that, did that deal,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 10: did it circumvent tat rules? If they mean, it's entirely possible,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 10: I have not seen it. I have not seen the report.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 10: I don't even know if the investigation by outside council
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 10: is done. It has to be winding down at this point.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 10: I don't know if the Clippers have any idea what's coming,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 10: but to me, it feels like they are bracing for
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 10: losing a ton of picks by a quiet during this
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 10: Hall of Picks. That's that's just one of the things
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 10: in my head that says it helps the Clippers. Evidently
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: Kawhi had told them I'm not going to resign here.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: Maybe the Clippers didn't want him anymore. Maybe they didn't
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 10: want thirty five year old Kawahi they got off of
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 10: James Harden. Maybe they got younger in that trade with
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 10: Cleveland back in February. Maybe that's going to be the move,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 10: is that they're going to continue the you know, trading
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: thirty five year old guys for twenty five year old guys.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 10: B I doesn't really count in that case, but close enough.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: I see the Clippers' perspective to it. I think Kawhi
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 10: obviously enjoyed his time in Toronto, and Toronto I don't
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 10: think would have done this unless they were ninety nine
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 10: point eight percent certain that he's going to resign there,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 10: that he's going to sign an extension and be there
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 10: for more than twelve months.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: This time.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 10: I will say this too, I think, no matter what
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 10: that investigation holds, whatever the result is, I don't think
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: Kawhi Leonard's playing eligibility is in any jeopardy here. I
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: think if there is a off to bear, it will
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: be born by the Clippers. They'll be the team if
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 10: something happened, if something went wrong, it'll be the Clippers
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 10: that pay the price, whatever it is, whether it's financial
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 10: picks or both.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Tim Reynolds from the ap with us here talking some NBA.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Where does Lebron end up? And how interesting is that
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: on the scale these days? Lebron's destination? I mean, once
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: upon a time it captured the entire world. Where's Lebron
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: going to play next? Where does it rate now as
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: an intriguing storyline for Tim Reynolds?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 10: Well again, if I really hope it happens tomorrow night
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 10: during the wedding and the Argentina here because and then
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 10: if he picks Miami, I honestly think Leo will just
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 10: walk off the field, because I don't know if this
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 10: town could handle Lionel Messi and Lebron James playing on
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 10: teams six miles apart. I don't know if the world
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 10: can handle that. So I have no idea where. Obviously,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 10: Philly made a big swing last night, and if they're
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 10: going to go this far in why not go all in, yeah,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 10: and try to get in Lebron. I think Cleveland obviously
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 10: makes all the sense in the world. Golden State there's
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 10: familiarity with Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry. Draymond Green is
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: a clutch guy, just like just like Bron. Bron has talked.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 10: You know, I'm sure Bron, like all parents, loves all
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 10: of his children. But it's clear that he is very
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 10: much relished being a girl dad, and he talks very
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 10: often about how his daughter is coming into her own athletically,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 10: and how he wants to be present and all those things.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 10: Does he uproot the family, do they stay in LA?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: And does he just go back and forth between San
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 10: Francisco and LA and choose Golden State? The reunion, there's
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 10: reasons to believe that a reunion in Miami is very
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 10: much part of his thinking. They he made a big
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 10: splash with be honest, yep, great relationships here with ownership
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 10: with pat Riley, with Mickey Arris and all of them.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: Eric Sposer connected with him again at the Olympics, you know,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 10: in twenty four and he's always been warmly welcomed back,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 10: even though he hasn't played here in twelve years heat
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 10: fans still love him, and he's always been very happy
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 10: when when he rolls into town with either the Calves
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: or the Lakers. I don't even know if he knows
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 10: where he ends up.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: But if the.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 10: News gods are with us, it won't happen tomorrow night.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 10: Let it happen Saturday. Let it happen on the fourth.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 10: Ruined the barbecue.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 10: Please not during Leo's game and Taylor's wedding, because that
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: would just that would be terrible, and then everybody would
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 10: write the same headline. It would all be the decision,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: the Lebron's version. We don't we don't need that. Let
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 10: Tate have her night.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: Let her, let her.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: She's been waiting for this for a long time. She's
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: written a lot of stuff, a lot of songs leading
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: up to this moment. Let's let her have her night.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 10: Hey, Lebron does not want to become the subject of
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: a Taylor Swift distrack. I just doesn't. He doesn't. He
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 10: doesn't want that. He doesn't want that.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I promise you, I don't think spoke.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 10: Please please say we're not live, Chuck. We could just
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 10: scrub all of these comments.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, we're gonna package them and then
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: repurpose them, and so we're gonna we're gonna really turn
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: this into something big. All right, man, Hey, it was
• 1:11:36

• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Happy Thursday to you. It is Chuck and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Ash a little happier maybe than most Thursdays. I think
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: most people are getting tomorrow off, I would imagine, I hope. So,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: I mean this place is a ghost town. Obviously people
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: were getting today off as well. Around these here parts.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: There are a few loyal SAPs like ourselves that were
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: gathered in the kitchen a little bit earlier and they
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: were in a joyful mood.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Well that's good.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they have a song in their heart,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: a little bit song in our heart.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: I think they've gone around, like, you know, marking their territory.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: Oh so they're just peeing on stuff.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Peeing and povement. Yeah, in the boss's offices because they
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: never locked their doors.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess it's better than doing it in the urinal.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, well we miss a lot in the men's
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: room apparently. But yes, I'm sure most of you are
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: getting ready for a three day weekend. We are as well.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: This will be our last show of the week. But
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: good to be here, Great to have you with us,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We got Jackson Feltz coming up
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: here at nine to thirty. And before I start talking
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: a little NBA this morning, because this Jalen Brown thing
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: just has everybody just twisted in knots and I think
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a huge sports talk, a lot of layer
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: kind of conversation we can have here today. Just want
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: to point out the US of course winning last night
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: over Bosnia by the final score of two to nil.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: They played about a half hour with a man down
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: because of a very controversial red card. There seems to
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of difference of opinions on whether
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: or not falerin Balligan can actually appeal right well, according
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: to Mark Ogden, and he's with ESPN, And I don't
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: know if mark Ogden knows what he's talking about, but
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: he seems pretty steadfast about this. He says there is
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: no route to appeal the red card for Buloggan. Yeah,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: and he goes on to say that there's a better
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: chance that he'll miss more than one game at this
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: stage than he will none, so they'll still go there. Apparently,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: when you get a red card in the World Cup,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: it's even more dramatic, like you're supposed to be acting
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: even more like a gentleman when it comes to the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: World Cup, And so there could be an additional game
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: tacked on to the end. He's not saying that there
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: will be, or the odds are that that will occur,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: but he's saying there's no room at all for him
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: to appeal. And yet there might be a sliver of
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: a chance that he gets more than one match that
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: he's going to be suspended for and.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 5: For that it's ridiculous. Well, and yeah, that's the thing
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: they have no appeal for.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: You can't eliminate the red card altogether, so if you
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: get more games, it's tacked on, because that's all they
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 6: can do is look at it and add more games.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: If you get more games tacked on, then you can
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: appeal to get it down to one game. But you
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: can't remove it, which I still think is funny because
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 6: you didn't remove it. He still missed thirty minutes, so
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 6: he didn't remove the red card. We still played a
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: man down. He still got the red card. He still
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: missed thirty minutes of the game. So I feel like
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: it's the whole thing's ridiculous.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: That seems like a strong enough of a penalty. It does,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: so you have to not just miss the rest of
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: a match, but you have to feel responsible for your
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: team being a man down. Yeah, and you didn't do
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: anything malicious. I mean, you went after a ball aggressively,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: and they want to categorize that as playing two aggressively. Okay,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: I guess. I mean to me, it didn't even really
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: look worthy of any kind of card.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: I thought, maybe I thought they.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot. I don't watch a lot,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: so you know this is coming from a source of.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: I thought they'd give him a yellow card, but that
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: was it. I did not ever think there was a
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 6: chance they'd give him a red on that.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: But it got reviewed and that's what they went with.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: And we had Pete fewing on and he says, I
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: kind of see where they're coming from. But he also
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: said that the malice, intended or unintended, should have been
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: factored into the conversation and made it a lot greyer
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: than it actually turned out to be. But it's bright
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: red right now. He's going to miss Monday. Now, we
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: won't have to play a man down. Right, in case
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: you're as ignorant as I am about soccer, we don't
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: have to pay a man down, but we'll have a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: chance to replace him. But that's our leading score for
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: the tournament to this point. That's the guy that has
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: been playing as well as anybody in a US jersey,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: and he's not going to play on Monday, and the
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: biggest game arguably in the US history.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: Well, it'll be interest seem to see if they change
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 6: anything from this, because I think the biggest controversy of
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: the whole thing has been that the var chimed in.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: Who shouldn't I guess it's only supposed to be used
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: for like ball placement, seeing if a goal counted, certain
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: things like that, to make sure the placement on the
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: field and then if you are reviewing something like that,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: it has to be done at real speed. At normal speed,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: you can't slow it down to look at the extent
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: of an injury. And this guy slowed it down and
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: then showed slow motion video to issue the red card.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Weird.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know why that happened.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Weird, And I can't even tell you. Is this consistent
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: with past rulings?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 7: Is it? Yeah?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 5: I have no clue.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: You know, so Pete Fewing didn't seem to be overly
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: upset about it. But anyone who's not like a diehard
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: soccer fan that doesn't get how it works, yeah, is
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: sitting or analyzing it like this is how it works.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's ridiculous because you can we I mean,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: we talked about.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 5: It earlier, right.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 6: We compare these things to sports we watch all the time, right,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, so I was looking at it thinking of
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: basketball and a flagrant fowl that would just be a
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: foul that was not a flagrant fowl. Maybe a flagrant one,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: but it's definitely not a flagrant too.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: Well, even wey Wemby threw the the elbow at nas
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: reed and connected in a bad place and he got
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: punished for it, and he should have. He got tossed
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: out of the game, and that felt justified, that felt warranted.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: But in the NBA you kind of have to stack
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: those things together. And he got pretty close. He was
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: playing pretty violently throughout the playoffs with all those angles
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: he has on his body, and so he got pretty close.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: But that one incident was not going to I mean,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: it could have cost him, could have I mean, there
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: are rules in place that it could have cost him. Yeah,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: but it didn't cost him at least there was a
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: window to evaluate it. It just seems like an awfully
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: big stage and hey, there's maliceon. If he was going
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: out to try to hurt him, take him out for
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: the rest of.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 5: The time, he should be, yeah, removed from.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: Everything, But there was no indication of that. So it
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: just leaves those who don't watch this as carefully to
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: wonder why does this exist, Why is he suffering through this,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: Why does this have to be the end result? Why
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: are we playing without him on Monday? It doesn't make
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: sense to us.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it doesn't make sense to people who watch
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: the game a lot too.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: So Okay, I feel better.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure that it does. I
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: just didn't want to speak on behalf of those. No, yeah,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: all right, let's talk a little NBA because right now
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: the National Basketball Association, including Tim Reynolds, who is fantastic
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, from the Associated Press, We're gonna
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: have to put him on more frequently. He was on
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: with us at eight o'clock. He is gobsmacked, is the
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: word that Brian Windhorst used this morning, saying that the
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: entire league is scratching its head, that even the end
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: itself is scratching its head over why Boston made this
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: trade and got so little in return for a player
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: who is considered one of the top ten players in basketball,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: one of the top two or three two way players,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: a guy who's equally as good on the defensive end
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: as he is on the offensive end of the floor.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: And yet they got a fraction of what the Clippers
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: got for Kawhi Leonard, they got a fraction of what
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: the Bucks got for Giannis. And here's Jalen Brown, who's
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: got to be in that same territory, that same top
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: ten player. You would have thought that they were going
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: to ask for the moon and the stars, and instead
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: they come away with two first round picks which are
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: likely going to be late first round picks, two second
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: round picks which don't really hold a lot of value
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, and then Paul George, who, when he's healthy,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: he's a really good player, but not as good as
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. Plus he's six seven years older and hasn't
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy in half a decade. So
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: it is a real head scratcher, and it's got the
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: entire league buzzing right now. I sent a text to
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: my friend, who's the biggest Sixers fan that I know,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: and he's just like, I'm not going to get excited.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: We always lose our trades with the Boston Celtics, so
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna get excited. I'm gon say, well, I
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: can appreciate you being prudent on this, but you stole
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown from a division rival. You just weakened the
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Boston Celtics and strengthened your own team. Kendrick Perkins went
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: as far this morning as saying, hey, they're an NBA
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: championship contender with this trade. He also went on to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: say that the Philadelphia seventy six ers front office they
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: should serve Brad Stevens who pulled the trade for Boston
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: breakfast in bed before the for the thanks Yeah, to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: give him thanks for what he handed them in this trade.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: So people can't figure it out. I mean, the last
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: time the league was this stun and couldn't figure out
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: a trade was Luka Doncic? Why how? I mean, because
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: this isn't just about the Boston Celtics making a bad trade.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: How were How was the rest of the NBA? If
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: that was the price tag? Where are the Denver Nuggets?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: Why aren't the Denver Nuggets paying that price and putting
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: him next to Joker? I mean, can you realize? Can
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: you believe how good the Denver Nuggets would be if
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: they had Jalen Brown added to their team? Where you know,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: where were the thunder Where were the Spurs to give
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: them the edge going forward? Where were the If that
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: was all the price was just some washed up, high
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: priced veteran and two late first round picks and a
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: couple second round picks, the line should have been down
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: the street.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have thought so for.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, And instead they not only trade him for
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: that cheap of a price, they trade him to a
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: division rival. What is going on with Luka Doncicz. No
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: one could figure it out, and then all of a sudden,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: one day, the NBA Lottery is held, and for a
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: lot of us who question the lottery and its integrity,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: as soon as I saw the Dallas Mavericks had won
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: the pick when they had like a one percent chance,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, now, now the Donciz trade makes sense.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: That's one of those do this for me now and
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: I'll take care of you down the road kind of
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: moments that I theorize happens in the National Basketball Association.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: That made sense. But how on earth will this one
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: ever makes sense? Because the Celtics aren't going to end
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: up in the lottery next year. I mean, and I
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: can't imagine that the NBA is like, get rid of
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. We want the Sixers to be better than
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: you right now. Imagine that is the scenario. So what
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: is the story? Because there's something bigger that we're not
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: finding out. Is the relationship between Brown and Tatum so
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: terrible that Tatum is like I will quit the game
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: if you don't get rid of him. Maybe that's I
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not gonna say that's been floated around,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: but there's certainly people speculating maybe that relationship is more
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: tarnished than what we realized, and they had to choose
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: between the two and they chose Tatum. The suggestion made
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: by Tim Reynolds was maybe that ownership had weighed in
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: on this, like we're tired of dealing with this. He's
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: got to be gone. He's got to be gone at
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: this point so that we can build the rest of
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: the roster for the rest of the season. That maybe
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: they don't they wanted to push this agenda. There's also
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: some talk Colin Coward had mentioned this that he's got
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: inside sources. He's always talking about his inside sources, though
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: apparently they're all great friends. Took Colin Coward, but he
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: says that Jalen Brown had rubbed Brad Stevens and everybody
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: in the Celtics organization the wrong way over the years,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: and he just kept getting more arrogant and more insertive
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: into areas that they that a player doesn't belong in.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Lebron's made this mistake, ye and
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: as it has cost him some of his appeal with
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: fans everywhere, well within the organization, there's a rumor out
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: there that Jalen Brown had just become so abrasive with
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: his opinions on how things should have been run that
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: they were willing to get rid of him for anything.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: I get why a John or Rant in Memphis. You
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: have this addition by subtraction theory. His game wasn't developing
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: to the degree we thought it was going to develop into.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: He had had horrible things happened off court that probably
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: was on his last strike in the NBA, much less
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: with the men Memphis Grizzlies. And who knows what kind
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: of turd he was behind the scenes, because visually he
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: was a turd toward the organization so many times and
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: so blatantly that I'm sure that he was just on
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: the last nerve. But Jalen Brown is beloved in the community,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: beloved by the fan base. I've never really heard Tatum
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: and Brown every time they're ever talking. That's my brother,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: that's my we win together, we win championships together. His
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: MVP is my MVP. That's the sort of public exchange
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: we've seen from these two guys. I'm sure there's a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: different story behind the scenes, But is it so terrible
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: that you're just gonna flip Jaalen Brown to your fiercest
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: division rival and weaken your team in the process and
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: strengthen them in the process, and not play this out
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: a little further or not hold out for a better offer.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Some stinks. Some stinks about this. Maybe j Brown's reputation
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: throughout the league is just so much worse than we
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: know as sports fans, because there's also the element of
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: where was everybody else in the NBA stepping forward if
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: that was the offer that they accepted. I mean, they
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: didn't go out of their way to take the Sixers offer.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: They didn't go out of their way to make the
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Sixers better. They obviously were trading him. Everybody knew that
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: their position had been weakened because publicly it had gotten
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: out that they were trying to trade him again. But
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: how did it get weakened to that degree? And how
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: did other teams who could definitely use Jalen Brown not
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: want to give more than what was given up for him?
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: Is it because Jalen Brown has a work far worse
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: reputation behind the scenes than what we're aware of.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think it has to be something along
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: that those lines are something along the lines of the
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: relationship fracturing even more after him finding out they wanted
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: to trade him a second time. I mean, he wins
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: the finals MVP, they want to trade him. He carries
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: the team on a surprisingly successful season with Jason Tatum
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: out and it was great, yeah, great this year, and
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 6: then they want to trade him. I mean I could
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 6: see him, if there was any strain in the relationship
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: before then, thinking what is it that I have to
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: do for this team to get you to want me
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 6: on this team? And I'm always going to be second
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: fiddle to Jason Tatum. I carried this team this year
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: in his absence and I'm still and it's still not enough.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: And so I could see that him saying like, well,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: I'm not playing for you, so you better get rid
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 6: of me, and then them just kind of thinking we
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: got to do this quickly and move on.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: Scham Sharanya said this morning he's still to this day
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: never asked to be traded out traded. I mean, sometimes
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: the player We've seen this before, Earl Thomas, can put
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: so much pressure on an organization repeatedly, time and time
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: again that eventually you just wear down and you're like
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: I've said this many times BEFO. If you want out,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: you can get out. You just got to be willing
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: to go there. You got to be willing to make
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: it so uncomfortable for the organization that they don't. I
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: think Giannis did that. He made it so uncomfortable for
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: the organization to keep him even though they wanted to
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: keep him, they just couldn't. They couldn't justify it anymore.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to deal with it any longer. But
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: apparently Brown has not been that way. It's not he
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: has not like demanded to be traded or anything like that,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: and yet they traded him anyway. So there's something we
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. That's all I can conclude. There is something
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: we don't know because it's trade season in the NBA
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: talked about this earlier in the week. I've never seen
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: so many big names in any professional league get moved
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: to different clothing in a shorter period of time than
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: what we're going to see this offseason. We've already seen
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: it with Yannis Kawhi, Jaylen Brown, Lebron's obviously leaving the Lakers,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: and John Morant, and we're not done. I mean, there's
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: still more to come on this front. So it's been,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: it's been wild. It's been absolutely crazy. And now we
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: wait for the Lebron James piece. Whereas he going to play?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: That's another intriguing storyline. And then even the Los Angeles Lakers,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've made some weird decisions here this week.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Some people are praising them. I think it's a great
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: course for them. Others are wondering, like, are you going
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: to add anybody that can play defense? I mean that's
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: a pretty big I mean Kessler, I suppose can play
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: some defense. But the Los Angeles Lakers. Man, they got
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: white so fast? That should be the Los Angeles Quakers. Yeah,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: really good. Some oatmeal eaten, you know, pale mother blinkers.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: That's what you got going on with the Lakers all
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: of a sudden. So they they're on a weird course
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: that some people like it. Some people have praised it.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: Other people are scratching their headline what is going on
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: with the Lakers? So I don't know. Maybe we're just
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: going through some adolescent period in the NBA. Everybody's got
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: zits and calycks right for NBA.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 5: Awkward stage right now, but I do.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, the movement's fun. It's gonna be exciting to
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: see all these big time names in new places last year.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: But I cannot wait. I cannot wait to get the
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: piece of information that we will eventually get that makes
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: sense of this Jalen Brown trade, because right now nobody
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: understands it, including Jalen Brown, and I'll bet you including
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Paul George. Paul George like, what that's all you got
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: for Jalen Brown is me?
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 5: And now I'm out.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's going to be a fascinating wow. That's
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: why moment for all basketball fans when we finally do
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: learn what went into what was the biggest motivating factor
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: that the Celtics decided yesterday. He has to be moved.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: He has to be moved today. Whatever the best offer is,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: take it. Yeah, there's gotta be.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 5: A story, there's something there.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, that makes it make sense, all right,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Jackson Felts Next Sports Radio ninety three point three kh.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 4: A R F M.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 5: Y would I didn't get to see that though, Yeah,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 5: how to go over really well?
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Not well, she's recovering from getting her wisdom teeth taken out. Oh,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: I'm home taking care of her, and she didn't appreciate that.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: At five thirty am.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I do. I appreciated it.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 5: I'd appreciated it any hour of the day.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: He wore a guitar as a as a bedroom suit.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 7: That was it.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's all he wore guitar. Well, it's on to
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: the round of sixteen. Jackson Felts is with us this
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: morning to analyze it. Let's go straight to all this
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: red card stuff and let's just start the Jackson from
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: the standpoint of how the team overcame it in this
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: match last night when it happened, We're how worried were
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: you despite having the lead and having the momentum, How
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: worried were you that it was going to cost the
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: US their spot in the tournament.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think I was too worried.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: I just didn't see the quality from Bosnia the entire game.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we'd we'd kind of been watching
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: and we'd been kind of waiting for them to push,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: and I think that they did something smart to start
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: the second half when they were playing eleven on eleven
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: is they basically said, all right, we know Bosnia that
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to advance numbers forward, so let's
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: play long, let's play direct. Let's let's give you the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: ball and let you build with numbers. Let you push
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: numbers forward, and then we'll get you on the counter attack.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: And when we saw Bosnia in the first fifteen or
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: so minutes of that second half really start to push
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: numbers forward, really start to actually, you know, build attacks,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: they really couldn't do all that much. So I said
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: to myself, all right, you know what, if we're giving
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: you the chance to build and you still can't do it,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: then even when you're up a man, we're gonna play condensed,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: We're gonna play back.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: We're gonna make the changes.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: And great jobmer by Mauricio Pochettino to make those slight
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: adjustments and the substitutions he did to make sure that
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: they were stout defensively and ready to go for when
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: they went a man down.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: But you know, really I just didn't see quality from
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: Bosnia at all.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Well, what is the official Jackson Felt's reaction to that
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: red card?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: It's embarrassing.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I think if your FIFA, if you're Jiohnny
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: Infantino and you're in Santa Clara watching that game, once
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: that red card goes, you kind of put a I mean,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: if I was him, I'd put a palm to my
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: forehead and go, oh God, what the heck? Because now
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: you have an entire country. I mean, when you have
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: individual sports teams around the entire country that are not
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: even your in your sport, the Seattle Mariners one being
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: one of many many teams all sending out free flow ball. Again,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you pissed off an entire country. And if
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: there's one thing that can unite non soccer and soccer fans,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: it's bad referees. That was That was embarrassing. I'd be
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: embarrassed if I was if I was a FIFA leadership
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: that he was refing that game.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: The guy who was.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: You know, they would they would be really smart actually,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: and they'll never do it. Ever, there's zero percent chance,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: they would do really good right now to throw the
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: referees under the bus and really just lean on this thing.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: They have. The Disciplinary Committee for the World Cup just
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: put out a quick little.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: Statement that says, and by the way, this is all accurate,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: that the referees did not abide by proper VR protocols
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: VR is the the referee the virtual you know, video
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: referee that they can go back to and they can
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: you know, review those plays. So you're going to var
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: and you could lean on the disciplinary committee and say, hey, listen,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: the referees did not follow proper VR protocols. They reviewed
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: the play the wrong way. You're not supposed to view
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: the play slow mode slow motion like that. You're only
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: supposed to use slow motion when it comes to positioning.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: So they used the wrong protocol. So we're wiping the
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: red card. That would be that would be the proper
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: thing to do. There's no chance they'll do it, but
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: that would be the right thing to do.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: So what are our chances with that bell again? Then
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: on Monday, yeah.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 4: I think pretty good. Belgium did not impress me.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: Belgium played very below average against Senegal for eighty five minutes.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 4: They got one goal which was a good goals.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: This second goal in regulation to tie the game to
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: to their Loomenfield Seattle Stadium, that had a foul on
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: it that should have been ruled off clear pushoff. Should
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: have been a clear foul, but they it's not called.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: They get the second goal and they win it with
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: a penalty kick there in the one hundred and twenty
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: fifth minute, which was the latest winner in World Cup history.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: Belgium in general didn't impressed me. Ricardo Peppi is a
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: excellent forward. I don't think the United States. Listen, you
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: can't fully replace flow Balgin. He's been on fire. But
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: I just think there's so much quality with this US team,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: and again it all comes back to the lack of
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: quaudy in the other team. It's why I thought we'd
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: get through Bosnia, and it's why I think we'll get
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: through Belgium.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: Jackson Feltz's with us, of course, leaning on him really
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: heavily throughout this World Cup experience, the US winning last
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: night to nil in their match with Bosnia. They will
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: play Monday right here in Seattle against Why did I
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: just have a brain fart against Belgium. We just talked
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: about Belgium on Monday at five o'clock before we go
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: back to that match. I do want to mention the
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: Tillman kick. I mean, can you do it any better
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: than that? I mean, is that soccer perfection right there?
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: It certainly is. You know.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: I think one of the most impressive parts about that
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: is how close he is to the box, because a
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: lot of those free kicks you'll see, you know, really
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: exceptional players can put that in the back of the net.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: We've seen Lionel Messi do it, you know, over and
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: over at different angles, from all angles over the years.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: But the thing with that is that you have to
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: get it up and over the wall. That's that's right
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: there of defenders, and then you have to get it
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: down again to get it below the crossbar. So the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: angle in which Tillman hit that shot to get it
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: over the wall, get it into that and it was
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: just it's spectacular. I mean, it's it's a great example
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: I think of why we soccer fans love this game
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: so much is because you can have a moment of
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: brilliance like that. And I mean you look at look
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: at the reaction of all the watch parties around the nation.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 4: There's been a couple of good tweet threads. I think
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: Kyle Sheldon had I think the best one of the day.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, where the reaction of thousands upon thousands at all
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: these different ways parties around the entire country that moment
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: and that what that did, and the joy kind of
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: knowing all right, that's it, we're likely through. It's one
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: of the great moments that this country has had in
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: its soccer history, and man, I'll be living in that
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: moment for a long time.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Well, Monday could potentially be a lot better than that.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, when I met Jackson Feltz, he already was
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: deeply in love with the sport of soccer, and I
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: think very disappointed that I wasn't when we were a
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: team together eleven years ago as a midday show. And
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: I've only watched your love for this sport grow and
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: your knowledge for this sport grow just daily ever since
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: we were paired together eleven years ago. And now here
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: you are getting ready to cover the World Cup Monday
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: in your hometown. I mean, where are you going to
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: be Monday?
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: How wired are you going to be for this thing?
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 7: Geez.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: I mean it's when you kind of I haven't done
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: that thing where you step back yet and view like
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: what's going on in the moment from thirty five thousand feet.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: I think I think I'll wait till after the tournament
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: to do it. But like, you know, listen, I'm gonna
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna light rail from Federal Way into the stadium
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: probably in the you know, morning or so, and just
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: enjoy the party like we did for the Australia game.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: Just be around it, you know. Dick Fan and I.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: Hit the air at three o'clock. I'll have the pregame
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: show for here on KJR and for iHeart starting at
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: four thirty games at five. I know Anders has a
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: postgame to me and him are gonna be rocking on
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: the post game from Jimmy's. Right after the final whistle,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be in the building, right after pregame ends,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: and right before postgame starts, we're gonna be in the
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: stadium taking it in. I mean, it's gonna be indescribable,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: is probably the best thing that I can say. I
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: don't even know what my emotions will do. And we
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: get to five o'clock on Monday, it's it's going to
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: be I don't know's It's gonna be one of those
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: days that I'll reflect on years down the road for sure.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Seattle's become like a second home to Belgians.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I really have. You have a good point.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: I'm interested in the crowd makeup on Monday right because
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: Belgium has filled the stadium twice now, so how many
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: Belgians are in that building compared.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: To Red, white and blue. It'll it'll be very interesting.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, man, Well, thank you very much. We
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: appreciate it, and we'll talk to you again next week.

• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: a full day. From what I understand, we will not
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: be down there at Jimmy's to start the day because
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: it's a five o'clock start as opposed to a one
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: o'clock start for the Australia match. We were down there
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: and kind of saw it all come together. But I
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: do believe it starts in earnest our coverage from Jimmy's
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, and so it's gonna be another all
• 1:44:12
