- 1:20Speaker 1: be just you know, get me. You're tired your week

- 1:26Speaker 1: the statue of liberty. It is Chuck, Buck and Ashley here.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody, and welcome into this hump day edition
- 1:33Speaker 1: of Chuck and Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
- 1:35Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. We got you for four hours today,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and my goodness. I mean there are busy shows, which
- 1:44Speaker 1: usually they are these days. I don't just make that up.
- 1:47Speaker 1: That's just not a crutch that the old talk show
- 1:50Speaker 1: hosts yous. I don't even remember the last time we
- 1:52Speaker 1: didn't have a busy show. But today I mean juicy
- 1:56Speaker 1: as sports radio topics. I mean, if you are wanting
- 2:00Speaker 1: a juicy sports radio topic, the sports world has cooperated
- 2:05Speaker 1: because we've got seventeen of them today and I don't
- 2:08Speaker 1: even know we can even get to all of them
- 2:10Speaker 1: before ten o'clock hits. So settled in, welcome in, and
- 2:15Speaker 1: I think we just dive right in because I could
- 2:18Speaker 1: have gone with a lot of different things to lead
- 2:20Speaker 1: the show today, but I think we got to start
- 2:23Speaker 1: with the WBC last night, and not just because America
- 2:28Speaker 1: lost to Italy, which I've got plenty of thoughts on that,
- 2:33Speaker 1: but not just because they lost in the WBC. But
- 2:36Speaker 1: maybe the bigger story is that the manager Mark DeRosa,
- 2:42Speaker 1: who Bucky is a good friend with and was teammates with,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and who I think from a analyst standpoint, might be
- 2:50Speaker 1: one of my favorite in any sport in all of
- 2:52Speaker 1: the world. And we both like that he's the manager
- 2:56Speaker 1: of Team America. But he might not have understood the
- 3:01Speaker 1: rules of the pool play for how you advance. He
- 3:07Speaker 1: had said yesterday with his friends at MLB Network yesterday
- 3:11Speaker 1: morning that they had already punched their ticket to the
- 3:15Speaker 1: next round. Then last night, in a game where he
- 3:20Speaker 1: didn't have a couple of normal starters in the game,
- 3:22Speaker 1: and his pitching decisions were a bit head scratching at times,
- 3:26Speaker 1: even to the point where Clayton Kershaw, who looks like
- 3:30Speaker 1: he weighs like three to ten right now, is warming
- 3:32Speaker 1: up in the bullpen when it looks like you're going
- 3:36Speaker 1: to lose and it might come down to run prevention
- 3:40Speaker 1: in terms of whether or not you even get to
- 3:43Speaker 1: go beyond pool play. You might get edged out by
- 3:46Speaker 1: Italy and Mexico. Then all of a sudden, there was
- 3:50Speaker 1: an alarm that went off. He brings Mason Miller into
- 3:53Speaker 1: the bullpen and then Clayton Kershaw was not put into
- 3:58Speaker 1: the baseball gameh eight to six, and if you've given
- 4:02Speaker 1: yourself a chance to get into the you know, the
- 4:06Speaker 1: championship tournament here. But afterwards, Mark Durosa had to answer
- 4:12Speaker 1: for it. He claimed he misspoke, But people aren't really
- 4:16Speaker 1: buying it, Bucky. People think that this entire coaching staff
- 4:21Speaker 1: that had sat up the night before with players drinking
- 4:24Speaker 1: beer and telling stories in the locker room to the
- 4:27Speaker 1: degree that a couple of them weren't good to go
- 4:30Speaker 1: last night, did not understand that you that not You
- 4:36Speaker 1: are not in the next round. You have not clenched
- 4:39Speaker 1: your spot in the next round. And now all of
- 4:42Speaker 1: a sudden, they're hanging in the balance. If Mexico wins
- 4:46Speaker 1: today four to two, the US is out of the
- 4:51Speaker 1: entire WBC. So he's got some splaining to do. And
- 4:56Speaker 1: I'm not sure anybody's gonna buy his his answers or
- 5:00Speaker 1: his explanation at this point. So bad night last night
- 5:04Speaker 1: for Team America, but a lot worse than what it
- 5:07Speaker 1: even looked like on the surface.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean the the I mean, first and foremost,
- 5:13Speaker 3: you know, to lose to Italy is not good. That said,
- 5:17Speaker 3: there's I read something I think it was from Pat
- 5:22Speaker 3: McAfee yesterday, who was just hell, in the heck do
- 5:25Speaker 3: you lose to Italy? Right like, I mean, yeah, if
- 5:27Speaker 3: we lose to in soccer, that's one thing. Or a
- 5:29Speaker 3: cooking contest that's another. It wasn't that's baseball. But first
- 5:33Speaker 3: of all, it wasn't Italy. That was Team America JV.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Yeah. Well yeah, not one player was from Italy. Actually
- 5:39Speaker 1: one player was from Italy, right, yeah.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I mean typically most of these guys are American born
- 5:44Speaker 3: and they just have some something in their heritage that
- 5:48Speaker 3: leads them down the path where they can play for Italy.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I mean, I to be honest, back when it was
- 5:53Speaker 3: the Olympics, there was an opportunity at one point in time,
- 5:56Speaker 3: kind of it never really panned out to anything. My
- 5:59Speaker 3: ex was Italian half Italian dad, born and raised in Italy,
- 6:03Speaker 3: and there was a chance that I could have been
- 6:05Speaker 3: married to her played for Team Italy. I don't have
- 6:08Speaker 3: an Italian cell in my body, So it's along those lines.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Just it's kind of different where there's a lot of
- 6:14Speaker 3: people playing on these teams who don't necessarily have any
- 6:17Speaker 3: heritage there, but.
- 6:18Speaker 5: Gods would not have approved.
- 6:19Speaker 1: No, they would not have. And by the way, just
- 6:21Speaker 1: before we I hate that and it's my reckless at breakfast,
- 6:25Speaker 1: just to look ahead. I think it's ridiculous. I think
- 6:29Speaker 1: there was a reason why they weren't really celebrating last night.
- 6:33Speaker 1: They're not Italian. The team is not even being embraced
- 6:38Speaker 1: in Italy, like they don't care. None of those guys
- 6:42Speaker 1: are Italian. Those guys have are of Italian heritage that
- 6:46Speaker 1: are American born, raised, trained. Some of them have never
- 6:50Speaker 1: even been to Italy, and yet they're beating the USA
- 6:53Speaker 1: in a tournament. I wouldn't feel good about it. I
- 6:56Speaker 1: don't think Michael Lorenzen did feel good about it last
- 6:58Speaker 1: night when it was over. Good in theory, seemed like
- 7:01Speaker 1: a good idea in theory, but he was they weren't celebrating.
- 7:04Speaker 1: They're like, oh wait, we weren't expecting to win. Yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 1: But anyway, that gets us off topic.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Well, I mean I just was going to say, I mean,
- 7:12Speaker 3: it's the game of baseball is different. It's not like
- 7:15Speaker 3: the Dream Team, you know. I mean you could put
- 7:17Speaker 3: you could put the second starting five out there of
- 7:20Speaker 3: the Dream Team and they were going to walk over
- 7:23Speaker 3: most of the people back when when that happened what
- 7:25Speaker 3: ninety two or whatever it was.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Baseball's different.
- 7:28Speaker 3: You you end up, you know, putting somebody out there
- 7:30Speaker 3: and gives up a couple of long balls, and you
- 7:33Speaker 3: throw a couple of balls around and give some unearned
- 7:36Speaker 3: runs up, and you could find yourself, you know, a
- 7:38Speaker 3: couple of balls short of you know, a couple of
- 7:42Speaker 3: balls falling on the warning track. You could find yourself
- 7:44Speaker 3: on the losing end when you are a better team,
- 7:46Speaker 3: whether you had all of your starters out there or not.
- 7:48Speaker 3: But I mean the idea of.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Well, it's basically I mean Team America is basically the Dodgers.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I mean it's star after star after star, but not
- 7:56Speaker 1: every single player is a star. Otherwise, Ryan Yarbro's not
- 7:59Speaker 1: on our team. You know a guy that I don't
- 8:01Speaker 1: even think is on a major league roster right now
- 8:04Speaker 1: when we've got we have hundreds to pick from, and
- 8:07Speaker 1: yet he gave up a huge home run last night.
- 8:10Speaker 1: So you know, that Italian team was all major leaguers,
- 8:17Speaker 1: with the exception of one, all major leaguers. So the
- 8:20Speaker 1: A's can beat the Dodgers. The A's swept the Dodgers.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Swept the Dodgers in a series a couple of years
- 8:25Speaker 1: ago when they were at their lowest. The Colorado Rockies
- 8:29Speaker 1: can beat any major League team on any given day,
- 8:31Speaker 1: even though they're probably going to lose one hundred and
- 8:33Speaker 1: twenty games this year. That was the equivalent of it.
- 8:36Speaker 1: It's not that big of an upset. It's like the
- 8:38Speaker 1: Rockies beating the Dodgers in a regular season game. Happens
- 8:43Speaker 1: all the time. As it turns out, that was not
- 8:45Speaker 1: an Italian team, that was an American team. Yeah, that
- 8:48Speaker 1: we lost to you last night.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I talked to Miles master Bony the
- 8:52Speaker 3: week that I stayed down there and took the family in,
- 8:55Speaker 3: and I asked if he was excited. He goes, yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 3: I mean it's an opportunity to go out there and
- 8:59Speaker 3: kind of do something right. I mean, they weren't expecting
- 9:03Speaker 3: necessarily to go out there and win. And yet that's
- 9:05Speaker 3: the beauty of baseball is that if you can go
- 9:08Speaker 3: out there against a team that's far better than you
- 9:10Speaker 3: are on paper, and yet if they don't play better
- 9:12Speaker 3: than you, I mean, if they don't maximize their opportunities
- 9:16Speaker 3: and you do you find yourself winning. Now the bigger
- 9:19Speaker 3: part of it is the idea of whatever happened the
- 9:22Speaker 3: night before, which at first I read into it as
- 9:25Speaker 3: it was like old school baseball where guys used to
- 9:27Speaker 3: sit in the clubhouse after games and talk about the game,
- 9:30Speaker 3: talk about baseball like they nowadays they can't wait to
- 9:33Speaker 3: put their versace person and walk out and whatever whatever
- 9:37Speaker 3: garb they showed up in that was, you know, really
- 9:40Speaker 3: high fashion. It's the game has changed, And so I
- 9:43Speaker 3: read it first, read it like this team is just
- 9:46Speaker 3: embracing this moment that they get to be on this
- 9:49Speaker 3: superstar team, right, I mean, this is an all star team,
- 9:51Speaker 3: but you get to have USA across your chest. Well,
- 9:54Speaker 3: if that celebration or that camaraderie went so far as
- 9:59Speaker 3: to where not everybody is ready to rock and roll
- 10:01Speaker 3: the next day, or you were you thought your ticket
- 10:03Speaker 3: was already punched, like dro said when he went on
- 10:06Speaker 3: MLB and and and said that, yeah, well it doesn't
- 10:09Speaker 3: really matter what happens. Not knowing the tiebreaker is no,
- 10:11Speaker 3: you lose, And now you know, Italy finds themselves in
- 10:15Speaker 3: the driver's seat and it's the tiebreakers run scored and
- 10:18Speaker 3: you're in third place as of right now, when and
- 10:21Speaker 3: they only to the top two teams end up advancing.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Now you've played that one extra game, so now you're
- 10:26Speaker 3: at the mercy of your destiny is in the hands
- 10:29Speaker 3: of Italy, either winning outright or Mexico. You know, if
- 10:33Speaker 3: they win, then they got to they have to basically
- 10:35Speaker 3: score more than what eight runs or something against against Italy.
- 10:39Speaker 1: So it's there's a couple of different scenarios how that works.
- 10:42Speaker 3: But it's the fact that they thought they were in,
- 10:44Speaker 3: because I don't think it was that dro just misspoke.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I think he thought they were in. I think he
- 10:49Speaker 1: thought they were in while they were playing last night.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I think somebody alerted him to the rules and that's
- 10:56Speaker 1: why he put Kershaw down and got Miller going.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Which that's the part that's baffling. How would you have
- 11:02Speaker 2: not known already know me in the morning. You didn't
- 11:05Speaker 2: know when you were on MLB network, right, and so
- 11:07Speaker 2: then you spoke on It's not a misspeak, right, you
- 11:10Speaker 2: spoke on the information you had or that you believed
- 11:13Speaker 2: at the time. And then but I don't know how somebody,
- 11:16Speaker 2: even with somebody at MLB network, I mean, he's on
- 11:18Speaker 2: the on there with his friends. How does someone after
- 11:21Speaker 2: the interview not say, hey, man, you know you guys.
- 11:23Speaker 5: Haven't punched the ticket, right right? I mean that's all
- 11:27Speaker 5: it takes.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Like, hey, actually, if you don't win tonight, there is
- 11:29Speaker 2: a chance you still you could not make it. I
- 11:32Speaker 2: don't know how he goes all day long and not
- 11:34Speaker 2: one person thinks to say, we should probably tell him
- 11:40Speaker 2: that the US has not punched their ticket. Somebody should
- 11:42Speaker 2: tell him.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I mean, there's got tony somebody on the staff that
- 11:44Speaker 1: that's their job. I would, and I would think that
- 11:47Speaker 1: the manager would make sure that above anything else that
- 11:51Speaker 1: he knew. And I I know, I know Bucky knows
- 11:54Speaker 1: him personally, very fond of d Row and what I
- 11:57Speaker 1: know of him and the see of him. I mean,
- 12:00Speaker 1: I think he'd probably be a rat pack member of mine.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I think I think that I just really like his analysis.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I like his approach to life. He was beloved in
- 12:09Speaker 1: every locker room he's ever been in. But it kind
- 12:12Speaker 1: of feels like he was just celebrating that I'm one
- 12:15Speaker 1: of the guys and I'm gonna create this awesome environment
- 12:18Speaker 1: and we're gonna drink beer and tell stories. And yet
- 12:21Speaker 1: we're gonna be serious about winning it. And yet part
- 12:23Speaker 1: of your responsibility, the main part of your responsibility, is
- 12:28Speaker 1: understanding the tournament you're in, and for him to not
- 12:32Speaker 1: know that as of yesterday morning was bad enough for
- 12:35Speaker 1: him to manage then manage the game as if he
- 12:39Speaker 1: didn't understand the rules. And I say this a lot
- 12:44Speaker 1: there there's unforgivable and then there's inexplainable. There are a
- 12:49Speaker 1: lot of things in life that are forgivable, but in
- 12:52Speaker 1: the moment that's not explainable. How did you not know that?
- 12:55Speaker 1: This is both like and I'm not saying as a
- 12:58Speaker 1: human being, we can forgive Mark Duros as a human
- 13:00Speaker 1: being for not understanding those roles. But as manager of
- 13:05Speaker 1: Team America, you're fired, even if you come back and
- 13:09Speaker 1: win this thing. How you don't know that you hadn't
- 13:13Speaker 1: punched your ticket and it didn't feel like you did
- 13:17Speaker 1: know until the eighth inning of a game last night.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how You're right. I don't
- 13:23Speaker 1: know how somebody else doesn't know on the entire coaching staff.
- 13:27Speaker 1: But that is his main responsibility. He's got to know
- 13:32Speaker 1: what it takes to manage a game, even if you
- 13:35Speaker 1: have to lose the game, what it's going to take
- 13:38Speaker 1: to get into the next round. There's no excuse for it,
- 13:41Speaker 1: just no excuse for it.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Well, I'm not one hundred percent I didn't necessarily watching
- 13:45Speaker 3: the game feel like he didn't know it then even
- 13:48Speaker 3: going into it, like, oh boy, wait a second, you
- 13:51Speaker 3: didn't recognize what the rules were. And I'm with you
- 13:55Speaker 3: to me, it's one of those come on, dude, like
- 13:57Speaker 3: if he was sitting here in on a you you
- 14:01Speaker 3: need to know that that is your if there's one
- 14:03Speaker 3: main responsibility, because writing the lineup, you could do it
- 14:06Speaker 3: blindfolded and you're not going to write a bad one.
- 14:08Speaker 3: Not with this team. Now that the pitching staff is different, Yeah,
- 14:13Speaker 3: you have the two best pitchers, but you're going to
- 14:17Speaker 3: be limited as to how much you can use any
- 14:19Speaker 3: of these arms, and so that part of it kind
- 14:20Speaker 3: of weighs in. I think I wouldn't be surprised if
- 14:24Speaker 3: if after that interview somebody did tell him, whether it's
- 14:27Speaker 3: a somebody on the coaching staff or somebody at MLB
- 14:30Speaker 3: Network or just something. Somebody probably told him. He's like,
- 14:33Speaker 3: oh wow, But he wasn't going to change up the
- 14:36Speaker 3: blueprint that he had for the game initially, like I
- 14:40Speaker 3: don't think he wasn't going to come in. They're like,
- 14:41Speaker 3: well we got to start somebody different, or the first
- 14:43Speaker 3: guy that I have up is going to be different.
- 14:46Speaker 3: Now I think maybe you should have had you known
- 14:49Speaker 3: going into it, like wow, I can't believe Italy is
- 14:52Speaker 3: three and oh at this point. And that puts them
- 14:54Speaker 3: in the driver's seat if we lose this ballgame. So
- 14:56Speaker 3: if we fall behind by three, because our starter is
- 15:01Speaker 3: not necessarily part, I wouldn't put him as part of
- 15:03Speaker 3: a dream team or Yarboro, the guy that they brought
- 15:06Speaker 3: in who gave up the runs, the big runs after that,
- 15:10Speaker 3: even Keller for that matter. I mean, if he can
- 15:13Speaker 3: just throw the ball to second base like an athlete,
- 15:16Speaker 3: that doesn't cost you a couple of runs. And yet,
- 15:19Speaker 3: to me, the idea of you have to adjust on
- 15:22Speaker 3: the fly when it comes to at least your relievers,
- 15:25Speaker 3: how you're going to do that once you fall behind,
- 15:27Speaker 3: because I mean they went out there and basically gave
- 15:30Speaker 3: up some runs and then base and then at that
- 15:32Speaker 3: point like bled a couple more and those couple runs
- 15:35Speaker 3: what could come back to Hanum in the long run.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Yeah, And I look you're a little bit beholden to. Again,
- 15:41Speaker 1: these are major league players getting ready for a major
- 15:43Speaker 1: league season. I don't have a problem with Paul Goldschmidt's
- 15:45Speaker 1: starting last night or Ernie Clement getting a start here
- 15:48Speaker 1: and there. I mean, they have to get there at bats.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You are responsible to those teams from whom you've plucked
- 15:54Speaker 1: one of their players. They still have to get ready
- 15:57Speaker 1: for the season. You need to get them at bats.
- 15:59Speaker 1: So you know, that's fine with me. But on the
- 16:04Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, when I've got broadcasters
- 16:08Speaker 1: telling a story on the air about how special it
- 16:12Speaker 1: was that they sat around all night telling stories and
- 16:14Speaker 1: drinking beer, and then DeRosa again steps in it in
- 16:19Speaker 1: that same interview and says, hey, we got a couple
- 16:21Speaker 1: guys aren't going to be aren't gonna be feeling too
- 16:23Speaker 1: good today? Yeah, and those are the guys that aren't
- 16:26Speaker 1: in the lineup. I mean, it is just a horrendous
- 16:31Speaker 1: look on him on Team America's approach. And they played
- 16:37Speaker 1: listlessly at times last night.
- 16:39Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I was gonna say those defensive mistakes
- 16:42Speaker 2: knowing like when you go back and look at those
- 16:43Speaker 2: defensive mistakes, you're like, oh, well, that's kind of like
- 16:46Speaker 2: some guys that aren't feeling very well, that's kind of
- 16:48Speaker 2: how they played.
- 16:49Speaker 5: It is like, oh, this is a little rough.
- 16:51Speaker 1: And maybe didn't have anything to do with it.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Didn't You can't help but think about it because now
- 16:55Speaker 2: you know it, right, Yeah, And.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Look, Major leaguers have played plenty of games the next
- 16:59Speaker 1: day where they had one or two too many the
- 17:02Speaker 1: night before. But if they spent the day not being
- 17:07Speaker 1: not realizing what the rules were and they needed to
- 17:11Speaker 1: be sharpah, because the manager never informed them, Hey, if
- 17:16Speaker 1: we lose this game, we can't lose. We have to
- 17:20Speaker 1: be careful on how many runs that we give up,
- 17:23Speaker 1: because it's not run differential, it is how many runs
- 17:27Speaker 1: that you allow. And then there's some weird formula from that.
- 17:30Speaker 1: And I'm not exactly sure what the number is because
- 17:33Speaker 1: I saw two different ones myself. I read this morning
- 17:36Speaker 1: that it's five if even if Mexico wins, if they
- 17:39Speaker 1: score more than five runs in winning, then US gets in.
- 17:44Speaker 1: But I also saw last night a graphic that said
- 17:47Speaker 1: it was like eight or nine. But I can just
- 17:50Speaker 1: go based on what I saw off of ESPN, I
- 17:53Speaker 1: would think that they know here this morning, so there
- 17:57Speaker 1: still is a good chance that the US gets in,
- 18:00Speaker 1: and if Italy beats Mexico, US is in. Even if
- 18:03Speaker 1: Mexico wins, they can't score x amount of runs. I
- 18:07Speaker 1: read this morning that that's five okay, all right, but
- 18:11Speaker 1: doesn't change the conversation about whether or not Team America's
- 18:16Speaker 1: manager was too busy trying to be funny one of
- 18:21Speaker 1: the guys, guy versus the responsibility of knowing what it
- 18:26Speaker 1: takes for Team USA to win the WBC.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Yeah, like after that bad look, after we beat Mexico,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I said, two five iron, Okay, we're not in, right,
- 18:37Speaker 2: We're not in yet, right like literally after the game,
- 18:39Speaker 2: I said, He said, right, because we play Italy tomorrow.
- 18:42Speaker 2: And then I say, and win to Italy and Mexico play,
- 18:44Speaker 2: he said wednesday.
- 18:45Speaker 5: I said, okay, so we got to win tomorrow. I
- 18:48Speaker 5: mean I need that, and I'm not managing a team.
- 18:50Speaker 5: That was the first thing I thought.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Of, The first thing that you should think of. As
- 18:53Speaker 1: soon as the game is over, do your celebration, as
- 18:55Speaker 1: soon as do your little speech. Nice job, fellas, sit
- 18:58Speaker 1: at your desk, get with your coaches. All right, what
- 19:01Speaker 1: do we have to do tomorrow? What? What? What? What
- 19:05Speaker 1: are the things we have to be aware of? Should
- 19:07Speaker 1: be the first thing, and it was not done.
- 19:10Speaker 5: No, it's disappointing.
- 19:12Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, is what it is. All Right, let's find
- 19:15Speaker 1: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
- 19:19Speaker 1: What's on t what's on tech? All right, So Italy
- 19:23Speaker 1: and Mexico at four o'clock, I just kind of explained
- 19:25Speaker 1: what's at stake Italy again. We'll play a pitcher that
- 19:29Speaker 1: we can kind of trust to get the job done
- 19:32Speaker 1: because he's an American train in America.
- 19:35Speaker 5: Perfect.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Yeah, born raised, probably never been to Italy. But Aaron
- 19:40Speaker 1: Nola gets the start for Italy. I don't think Mexico
- 19:42Speaker 1: has announced its starter yet. Randy and cal I thought
- 19:46Speaker 1: there was a chance we'd lead with handshake Gate, and
- 19:49Speaker 1: there is some information to pass along. Apparently cal did
- 19:52Speaker 1: reach out to Randy after the game, but via text,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and it sounds like Randy did not text back. So
- 20:00Speaker 1: we've got a situation. We've got a situation on our
- 20:03Speaker 1: hands that we're going to have to discuss later on
- 20:06Speaker 1: in the show. Meanwhile, Mariner's spring training back in Peoria.
- 20:10Speaker 1: The MS won over Kansas City four to three yesterday,
- 20:13Speaker 1: They'll play again today against Colorado at one o'clock, and
- 20:16Speaker 1: it'd be nice to see Luis Castillo pitch well because
- 20:18Speaker 1: he did not pitch well in his last outing. College basketball.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Zags win another conference tournament championship. Yeah, yeah, the incredible
- 20:31Speaker 1: story of Gonzaga basketball does continue. But obviously that's not
- 20:36Speaker 1: enough to satisfy the masses these days. So the Zags
- 20:41Speaker 1: have punched their ticket to the They have punched their ticket.
- 20:44Speaker 1: They will be in the nc Celebrate right. There will
- 20:48Speaker 1: be no tiebreaker. They are in the NCAA tournament again.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Big Ten Tournament started yesterday. U Doub will play today. It's,
- 20:56Speaker 1: of course, an elimination game. It's at eleven thirty taking
- 20:59Speaker 1: on the us USC Trojans. Right here at Sports Radio
- 21:02Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM. Bam Ada Bio scored eighty
- 21:06Speaker 1: three points for the Miami Heat last night. You heard
- 21:09Speaker 1: me correctly. Yes, that's crazy. You're not dreaming this. Bam
- 21:13Speaker 1: at A Baio, a defensive specialist, scored eighty three points
- 21:17Speaker 1: last night in a single NBA game. But that too
- 21:21Speaker 1: is wrapped in controversy. We'll talk about that at six
- 21:24Speaker 1: forty five. Today, Predators beat the Kraken Cracking are losers again.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Three straight losses for the Kraken. They still don't have
- 21:33Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon activated on their roster. We'll talk to Al
- 21:36Speaker 1: Koniski about that at nine thirty today. And of course,
- 21:39Speaker 1: there is the National Football League, which we all assumed
- 21:42Speaker 1: would be the top story every single day this week.
- 21:45Speaker 1: First day a free agency is actually today. The NFL
- 21:49Speaker 1: year gets started today. Greg Bell will be with us
- 21:51Speaker 1: at seven oh five. Of course, the tampering period came
- 21:54Speaker 1: to an end yesterday and so much activity, including Reek
- 21:58Speaker 1: Woolen finally finding his new address. He's going to the
- 22:01Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles on a one year, fifteen million dollar deal.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Hugh Millen will also join us today at eight o'clock.
- 22:07Speaker 1: And again, if you have not been following the sports
- 22:11Speaker 1: news and you were relying on us this morning, Max
- 22:15Speaker 1: Crosby is available again in trade. The Ravens mixed the
- 22:20Speaker 1: trade with the Ravens yesterday, right before the first official
- 22:24Speaker 1: day of the year. They did not like what they
- 22:27Speaker 1: saw in the physical and so they have nixed the trade.
- 22:30Speaker 1: So Max Crosby is again a Raider and the trade
- 22:34Speaker 1: talk has started anew and the Seahawks are once again
- 22:37Speaker 1: apparently involved and so.
- 22:39Speaker 5: And now Trey Hendrickson is a raven.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Did that happen this morning? Huh? Yeah, a lot of
- 22:44Speaker 1: people were speculating or.
- 22:45Speaker 5: Year one hundred and twelve million dollar content.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Which adds another layer, a suspicious layer to all of this,
- 22:50Speaker 1: which we will discuss next. Sports Radio ninety three point
- 22:53Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Wow. Okay, we started with Team USA today,
- 23:14Speaker 1: but man, the NFL, this Max Crosby thing is crazy.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Greg Bell's going to join us at seven oh five
- 23:25Speaker 1: today to talk about whether or not the Seahawks are
- 23:27Speaker 1: back in on Max Crosby. Humelin will join us at
- 23:30Speaker 1: eight o'clock. He'll try to make sense of what we've
- 23:32Speaker 1: watched during the tampering period the last of forty eight hours.
- 23:36Speaker 1: But we could have easily led with this. The only
- 23:39Speaker 1: reason I didn't because I know we're going to talk
- 23:40Speaker 1: about it for four different Monster segments as the show
- 23:43Speaker 1: goes on. But here we go our first crack at
- 23:46Speaker 1: it today. If you have not heard, the Max Crosby
- 23:49Speaker 1: to Baltimore trade got nixed yesterday by the Baltimore Ravens.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Today's the first official day of the NFL calendar year
- 23:57Speaker 1: and so they had until that deadline. They got it
- 24:00Speaker 1: done last night, but they add until that deadline in
- 24:04Speaker 1: order to finalize that deal before the new year began.
- 24:09Speaker 1: And at the close to the deadline, the Ravens decided,
- 24:14Speaker 1: our doctors are telling us stuff that we don't like
- 24:17Speaker 1: and that we're going to back out of this trade.
- 24:20Speaker 1: So the trade ends up getting mixed. Max Crosby goes
- 24:23Speaker 1: back to the Raiders, and now that frees up the
- 24:26Speaker 1: Ravens to do other things, and they have since done it.
- 24:30Speaker 1: There are so many layers to this, I guess we
- 24:33Speaker 1: should start with the layer that has happened this morning.
- 24:38Speaker 1: The Ravens have signed Trey Hendrickson to a deal. And
- 24:43Speaker 1: we discussed this last week. Would it be wiser just
- 24:46Speaker 1: to go with Hendrickson rather than give up the trade compensation. Well,
- 24:49Speaker 1: there is a now strong belief amongst teams in the
- 24:53Speaker 1: National Football League that this is exactly what happened. This
- 24:57Speaker 1: didn't really have anything to do with Max Crosby pass
- 25:00Speaker 1: a physical. This is the Baltimore Ravens making a decision
- 25:04Speaker 1: last night. Well, we don't have to give up the
- 25:06Speaker 1: draft picks if we can just sign Trey Hendrickson and
- 25:10Speaker 1: This is the reason that they backed out of the
- 25:12Speaker 1: deal because there are a lot of doctors who have
- 25:15Speaker 1: evaluated Max Crosby, his agent who has used doctors to
- 25:20Speaker 1: evaluate Max Crosby. The fact that there are a lot
- 25:22Speaker 1: of teams this morning that are in on Max Crosby
- 25:25Speaker 1: in a trade, and they're all smelling a rat. They
- 25:28Speaker 1: are claiming that no, Baltimore just got cold feet on
- 25:31Speaker 1: the deal and wanted Hendrickson without giving up draft picks.
- 25:37Speaker 1: They felt that that was a better move for them.
- 25:40Speaker 1: And yet meanwhile, we've had forty eight hours of NFL
- 25:43Speaker 1: activity where teams were trying to build their off seasons
- 25:47Speaker 1: around the knowledge Bucky that Max Crosby was a Raven
- 25:51Speaker 1: and not a Raider, and now all of a sudden,
- 25:54Speaker 1: the Ravens have renegged and gone back on the deal
- 25:58Speaker 1: and are claiming that it's about medicals. So it's a mess.
- 26:03Speaker 1: It is a mess. I'm here for it. It's awesome.
- 26:05Speaker 1: It's an awesome messled.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Crazy when the news came out, nuts just because of
- 26:11Speaker 3: the fact that that's such a big chip to fall
- 26:14Speaker 3: before the tampering slash free agency period. That kind of
- 26:18Speaker 3: went off right, and it went off Day one and
- 26:21Speaker 3: that whole thing went off, And yet everybody kind of thought,
- 26:23Speaker 3: well that Max Crosby one of the biggest chips that
- 26:27Speaker 3: could fall in this whole thing, and he wasn't a
- 26:29Speaker 3: free agent situation, but it still was one where you
- 26:32Speaker 3: kind of thought, Okay, well, it was abundantly clear that
- 26:35Speaker 3: the Ravens were in the market for a premium pass rusher.
- 26:38Speaker 3: They gave up two first rounders, and yet that wasn't
- 26:40Speaker 3: official until the first day today, the first day of
- 26:43Speaker 3: the new league year. And yet when all of a
- 26:46Speaker 3: sudden that forty eight hours or seventy two hours goes
- 26:49Speaker 3: by and Trey Hendrickson isn't coming off the board for anyone,
- 26:54Speaker 3: then you have to think that the Ravens did what
- 26:56Speaker 3: we were talking about. It's like, wait a minute, could
- 26:58Speaker 3: we kind of get something is very similar? I mean
- 27:02Speaker 3: very good, but very similar? I mean there, I mean
- 27:05Speaker 3: very similar price wise, very similar, maybe not the same
- 27:09Speaker 3: age wise. I think a lot of people would say
- 27:11Speaker 3: Max Crosby motor higher, maybe better clubhouse guy, whatever you
- 27:15Speaker 3: want to say there, but still similar outputs as far
- 27:18Speaker 3: as what they're gonna do is the disruptor that they're
- 27:21Speaker 3: going to be getting after the quarterback and we can
- 27:24Speaker 3: keep our two first round picks.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I mean just almost makes sense. Why you do it now?
- 27:29Speaker 3: The fact that they they knew what they knew, They
- 27:32Speaker 3: already had a good idea. They had already talked to
- 27:34Speaker 3: the surgeon about his knee repairs meniscus, and that it
- 27:38Speaker 3: was a little bit more than just a slight cleanup.
- 27:40Speaker 1: It was it was a.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Repair of a tear, and so that's gonna take a
- 27:44Speaker 3: little bit longer.
- 27:44Speaker 1: But they knew, I guarantee.
- 27:46Speaker 3: They were like, he'll be ready by training camp, he'll
- 27:48Speaker 3: be ready by the regular season. Yeah, we know that
- 27:50Speaker 3: he just got off crutches last week. So the fact
- 27:53Speaker 3: that they bring him in for the physical and they
- 27:56Speaker 3: have the ability to go, sorry, we're gonna go ahead
- 27:59Speaker 3: and back out this too many red flags. We think
- 28:01Speaker 3: there's a long term issue here. Well, there's a long
- 28:03Speaker 3: term issue. He plays football, right, He's going to his
- 28:07Speaker 3: knee's gonna hurt. Yeah, at some point during football, after football,
- 28:11Speaker 3: for the rest of his life, it's gonna hurt. It
- 28:13Speaker 3: was just plain and simple, in my opinion, a business decision.
- 28:16Speaker 3: They just thought we can kind of get a similar
- 28:19Speaker 3: guy that they probably didn't think at this point was
- 28:21Speaker 3: still going to be sitting there.
- 28:24Speaker 5: It's harder, that's what I would guess.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It's hard to prove because he does have a medical
- 28:28Speaker 1: history and they could just very easily. So well, our
- 28:30Speaker 1: doctors say that there were red flags. So I don't
- 28:34Speaker 1: know if you're going to be able to approve it,
- 28:36Speaker 1: but if you can prove it, I'd take both their
- 28:38Speaker 1: first round draft picks away from them if I'm Roger Goodwell.
- 28:41Speaker 2: And that's what I was gonna ask, like, is there
- 28:42Speaker 2: some penalty or should there be some penalty for them?
- 28:45Speaker 2: Because that's what I would think, Like you, I mean, one,
- 28:48Speaker 2: you took other teams out of the running for him, right,
- 28:51Speaker 2: so then they made other decisions and including the Raiders exactly.
- 28:55Speaker 2: And then on top of it, you know, now there
- 28:58Speaker 2: was rumors that Hendrickson going to go to the Colts,
- 29:00Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden they don't have him
- 29:02Speaker 2: because now he's going to I mean, the whole thing,
- 29:05Speaker 2: I don't know. It reeks not smell. It does not
- 29:07Speaker 2: sound like just oh, his medicals didn't work out and
- 29:09Speaker 2: we don't want him, no, Because first of all, you
- 29:12Speaker 2: had to have known if you were even making the
- 29:14Speaker 2: offer of two first round draft picks. You had to
- 29:16Speaker 2: have asked for all of the possible medical info you
- 29:18Speaker 2: could have gotten before you even agreed to that part.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Something does stink. I don't think that the NFL would
- 29:25Speaker 1: be able to make any kind of punishment stick because
- 29:28Speaker 1: he is injured, and I think every doctor in every
- 29:31Speaker 1: NFL organization would would say that, and they would just
- 29:36Speaker 1: use the argument, well, it just concerned us more than
- 29:39Speaker 1: it did others, I suppose, and we're going to give
- 29:42Speaker 1: up that much of our future. No, so I don't
- 29:45Speaker 1: think that any punishment would stick. But I do believe
- 29:48Speaker 1: it smells like a rat, There's no question about it. Meanwhile,
- 29:51Speaker 1: the Raiders can get Crosby back, and this is crazy
- 29:54Speaker 1: because they sign more people than anybody during the tampering period.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Yet they apparently still have plenty of room to bring
- 30:02Speaker 1: Max Crosby back into the fold, so they don't have
- 30:05Speaker 1: to trade him at all. And then other teams now
- 30:09Speaker 1: who've done two days of free agency and filled gaps
- 30:13Speaker 1: who might have been interested in Max Crosby, are now
- 30:16Speaker 1: trying to figure out, well, what would we offer. I
- 30:19Speaker 1: still think the Raiders are going to move him, and
- 30:22Speaker 1: I think that they might end up with two first
- 30:24Speaker 1: round picks still at the end of the day, and
- 30:26Speaker 1: maybe the Seahawks are back in on this thing. But
- 30:30Speaker 1: there's no question that the Baltimore Ravens threw a wrench
- 30:36Speaker 1: into this thing. And I think they did it intentionally.
- 30:39Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that they did it intentionally
- 30:41Speaker 1: at the time. I don't think they were saying, let's
- 30:43Speaker 1: trade for Max Crosby and then we'll back out at
- 30:46Speaker 1: the last second. But I think they certainly got cold
- 30:49Speaker 1: feet on what was the better route to take with
- 30:52Speaker 1: their organization, and in doing so, they they truly messed
- 30:57Speaker 1: up thirty one other teams in this entire process. I'd
- 31:00Speaker 1: like to see them punished for it. If that's true.
- 31:03Speaker 1: It's just gonna be hard to prove. If that's true.
- 31:04Speaker 3: I don't think it can be approve anything because and ultimately,
- 31:07Speaker 3: until the thing's official, it's not really official. I think
- 31:10Speaker 3: you know you have the right to be able to
- 31:12Speaker 3: do that it is. It does the fact that it
- 31:14Speaker 3: throws a wrench in everybody else's plans because everybody thought
- 31:17Speaker 3: that was water under the bridge or that was a
- 31:19Speaker 3: done deal. Will Compton from Bust and the Boys came
- 31:22Speaker 3: out and said that this in the first time. He
- 31:24Speaker 3: had a buddy that he played with in with the Commanders,
- 31:28Speaker 3: a receiver. I don't remember the name that he said,
- 31:29Speaker 3: but he said he signed some thirty million dollars deal
- 31:32Speaker 3: with him. And then the next day or before it
- 31:35Speaker 3: was finalized. The next day, I think the Raiders released Crabtree,
- 31:40Speaker 3: and so the Ravens were like, we'd rather have Crabtree
- 31:43Speaker 3: as a receiver instead, and so they they failed the
- 31:46Speaker 3: physical even.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Though they had all the information they set up.
- 31:49Speaker 3: You failed the physical, so they could back out of
- 31:51Speaker 3: that deal and went and signed a receiver they thought
- 31:54Speaker 3: was better to me.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Until it's final. It's not final.
- 31:56Speaker 3: And if you have the right to be able to say,
- 31:59Speaker 3: because you can say anything on those physicals, you can say,
- 32:02Speaker 3: I just think he walks crooked, you know, and I
- 32:04Speaker 3: don't like it.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Well, and if that's the case, if it's not final
- 32:07Speaker 2: till it's final, then other teams should have been able
- 32:09Speaker 2: to keep offering the Raiders things to try to beat
- 32:12Speaker 2: the Ravens and said, you know what.
- 32:13Speaker 5: We'll offer you this. We'll offer you this right if
- 32:15Speaker 5: it's not final till it's final.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Right might as well. Just keep going and.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Then they can take the best offer and they can
- 32:20Speaker 2: hose the Ravens. I mean, that's the way it should work.
- 32:23Speaker 2: If it's not final, till it's final, I I'm with you.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Either way, it should work. I don't know how you
- 32:29Speaker 1: can make it work. I don't know how you could
- 32:31Speaker 1: make any punishment stick, but I do. I think everybody
- 32:34Speaker 1: right now is in agreement. Something stinks with the Baltimore
- 32:37Speaker 1: Ravens right now, and I would like to see it punished.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I just don't know how they're going to be able
- 32:42Speaker 1: to do it. In the meantime, he's available, and if
- 32:44Speaker 1: the Seahawks were in fact interested, maybe the price comes
- 32:48Speaker 1: down a little bit. Maybe it comes down to what
- 32:50Speaker 1: they were offering. Maybe they had the second best offer
- 32:52Speaker 1: on the table at that point, and maybe Max Crosby
- 32:55Speaker 1: right now having his knee evaluated by Seahawks doctors, who knows.
- 32:58Speaker 1: We'll find out if Greg Bell knows anything. Coming up
- 33:01Speaker 1: at seven oh five this morning, but coming up next,
- 33:04Speaker 1: the third incredible sports talk radio topic that we have
- 33:09Speaker 1: to discuss this morning, and it comes from the NBA
- 33:11Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Eighty two points mama, we feel your joy. The second
- 33:24Speaker 4: highest scoring game in NBA history, second lead to Wilt
- 33:29Speaker 4: Chamberlain's one hundred point game in Hershey, Pennsylvania against the
- 33:33Speaker 4: New York Next when he was playing for Philadelphia.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Hey, Kenny MVP.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Eighty three. Eighty three points for Bam out of pile.
- 33:55Speaker 1: All right, done this It is an hour long sports
- 33:58Speaker 1: talk radio conversation. I have four minutes. Bam out of
- 34:02Speaker 1: Bio last night scored eighty three points for the Miami Heat.
- 34:05Speaker 1: That's right, that Bam out of Bio, the defensive specialist
- 34:08Speaker 1: who has developed an offensive game midway through his career.
- 34:13Speaker 1: He did enter the game averaging eighteen points, but his
- 34:16Speaker 1: season high point total this year was thirty two until
- 34:20Speaker 1: last night when he scored eighty three points in a
- 34:23Speaker 1: single game. And that should be celebrated, you would think.
- 34:27Speaker 1: But it's receiving a lot more criticism than it is
- 34:30Speaker 1: praise because of how he got to his eighty three points.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Number one, he shot forty three times from the floor.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Didn't even shoot fifty percent from the floor, so we're
- 34:38Speaker 1: not even talking about like a hotted shooter here. He
- 34:41Speaker 1: shot forty three free throws, thirty six attempts forty three
- 34:45Speaker 1: free throws in the game, which I do believe is
- 34:47Speaker 1: an NBA record. The Washington Wizards in the fourth quarter,
- 34:52Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra was fouling the Wizards to stop the clock
- 34:57Speaker 1: so that at A Baiyo could get more top time
- 35:00Speaker 1: to get more field goal and free throw attempts. They
- 35:04Speaker 1: were designing every single play for him in the second half.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Nobody else was even part of the offense, So there
- 35:10Speaker 1: was nothing natural about it. There was nothing in the
- 35:13Speaker 1: flow of the game about it. Basically, this is somebody
- 35:16Speaker 1: that had a red hot first quarter, had scored thirty
- 35:19Speaker 1: one points. He had a pretty decent second quarter where
- 35:23Speaker 1: he had forty three at halftime, and the Miami Heat decided,
- 35:27Speaker 1: we're taking on the terrible Wizards. Let's just make this
- 35:30Speaker 1: all about how many points we can get Bam out
- 35:32Speaker 1: of Bayo. And so that's how the second half was spent.
- 35:36Speaker 1: And even though Kobe's wasn't exactly as eighty one in
- 35:39Speaker 1: the flow of things, and I'm sure Wilt's, even though
- 35:42Speaker 1: we don't have video proof of it, was probably not
- 35:45Speaker 1: in the flow of the game, Wilt Chamberlain averaged fifty
- 35:49Speaker 1: fifty point four points per game that year, versus a
- 35:53Speaker 1: defensive stopper who usually just gets dunks, scoring eighty three
- 35:58Speaker 1: points on a night where his team, the officials, and
- 36:03Speaker 1: the rules of the NBA allowed him to have this
- 36:07Speaker 1: historic evening. As we wake up this morning, more people
- 36:10Speaker 1: are criticizing this achievement than praising it.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Well, it's hard for me to think that you can
- 36:14Speaker 3: get to one hundred points or eighty points, or being
- 36:18Speaker 3: seventy sixty points without there being some sort of drastic
- 36:22Speaker 3: attempt at the number. Right, they're going after it, right,
- 36:27Speaker 3: I mean, it just it isn't typically the way that
- 36:29Speaker 3: it's going to happen. I mean, you usually have to
- 36:33Speaker 3: if it's a tight game, then you're using your entire
- 36:36Speaker 3: team and you're slowing it down at times, and if
- 36:39Speaker 3: you have the lead, you're like, well we can't we're
- 36:40Speaker 3: not rushing down there and trying to get as many
- 36:42Speaker 3: shots up as possible. I think there's probably room for
- 36:46Speaker 3: criticism on every single time that somebody has some crazy
- 36:50Speaker 3: game like this. But that said, I mean it's like
- 36:53Speaker 3: I kind of when I saw it last night, I
- 36:55Speaker 3: was like, wow, eighty three points, that's impressive. Well, I
- 36:57Speaker 3: mean impressive, And then when you start diving into it.
- 37:00Speaker 3: There's obviously some help from if you are fouling to
- 37:02Speaker 3: stop the clock so you're getting more possessions.
- 37:05Speaker 1: That's the thing I have the most problem with.
- 37:07Speaker 3: That I don't like, because that's you're trying to manipulate
- 37:09Speaker 3: the actual game itself to the slow the clock down
- 37:13Speaker 3: to where you're gonna get more of them. Then once
- 37:16Speaker 3: it's like, oh wow, you got forty three points at halftime, Okay,
- 37:19Speaker 3: I get while you're gonna say you're gonna start feeding
- 37:21Speaker 3: him the rock and hoping that he can just keep
- 37:23Speaker 3: making it. But then if there's a whistle happy referee
- 37:27Speaker 3: part of it on top of it, to where now
- 37:29Speaker 3: of a sudden you're getting forty three free throw attempts,
- 37:31Speaker 3: I would just stop.
- 37:32Speaker 5: Calling fouls, be like I lost my whistle.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Yeah, like this. If I was watching, I'd be like,
- 37:38Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, right, it's going to stop calling fouls. Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:41Speaker 3: There's part of it just kind of ends up being
- 37:43Speaker 3: like e okay, which is crazy. You go out and
- 37:45Speaker 3: do some crazy accomplishment like that, and then there's part
- 37:48Speaker 3: of it that gets kind of doodooed on a little bit.
- 37:50Speaker 1: That's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
- 37:52Speaker 3: You kind of you make the bed, you sleep, and
- 37:55Speaker 3: he gets to know that you're now the second highest
- 37:56Speaker 3: game ever, and yet it's just part of it.
- 37:58Speaker 1: It's kind of like eh in the record books. Yeah,
- 38:01Speaker 1: eighty three points in a single game. All right, if
- 38:04Speaker 1: we have time later, we'll talk more, dive further into it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: But coming up next headlines plus Greg Bell at seven
- 38:10Speaker 1: oh five on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
