Chuck in the Morning 7-22 Hour 4: Dave Richard gives some fantasy advice, ABC's of the Mariners and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Tony pet peeve of mine to start the nine o'clock hour.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna be on television and you're gonna do
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a talk show, you might want to invest in a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: better looking pen. Like what are these people? I'm a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: pen snob, but what are they doing with their crappy
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: chewed on the end bicks and stuff like that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You gotta at least have a pilot.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Also, yeah, how do you hold a pen? How do
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: you hold a pen? Why doing because I would just
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: click the pen over and over. Yeah, but I did
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: get one the other day that has a spinny thing
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: on top, so you can just spin that around instead
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: of clicking it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's great fun.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'd have like a ink, well and quill on my
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: desk if I was doing a television talk shows before,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I'd have a crappy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Pen in my hand.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I can picture that you're doing that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Good morning to you, nine o'clock hour, Ashley Ryan. Is
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: your My name is Chuck Powell. And yes, that's football music.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We're getting ready for training camps here on Saturday. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: already started. By the way, two teams have already reported
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to camp, Arizona and Carolina because they play in the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. So they are already in camp,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and so we're doing all sorts of training camp preview
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: stuff this week, and to me, part of that preparation
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is talking a little fantasy football. It's not premature. You
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: can talk fantasy football any time of the year in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: sports talk radio. It's always cool. And joining us now
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: on the radio program. I know you hear them all
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the time here at KJAR and you probably follow him yourself.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It is Dave Richard from CBS Sports Fantasy Football expert,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and he is with us early, not prematurely early in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the process here today on Chuck in the Mornings.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Hi, Dave, Chuck.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: I heard the mini die tribe on penns. You feel
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: about NFL coaches with pencils, pens, sharpies because we see
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: them on the sideline and those things are behind their ear,
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: in their ear, in their mouth, on their brim of
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: their caps.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Like, where do you come out on that? I'm all
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: right if you're keeping it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I hope that's not like a community pin that you're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: chewing on and everything else. But yeah, I like the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: old pencil pen highlighter family, but they better be of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: quality if you have the means.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: And it's the NFL. I think they can afford quality utensils.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Right right, right.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I want to see some shabby highlighter hanging on to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: its last juice on John Harball's ear.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't want to see.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Dave, you ask well said, that's what I'm here for.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious before we start diving into some actual
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: things about training camp that you're looking forward to keeping
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: your eye on monitoring. Do you give yourself an off season,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Like do you go through draft and then like, I'm
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: not going to think about fantasy football again for a while,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: or is it just NonStop like you could be at
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your honor's wedding and you're there with a legal pad
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: doodling you know, your running back order. I mean, how
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: do you operate in the off season?
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Well, the title that I carry at CBS is in
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: your Fantasy writer, So it's not off season, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: hang out at the pool guy. It's fantasy football every day,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: every month. And I love it that way. And I
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: literally started digging into this season the day after the
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl back in February, when I forgot which team
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl. Maybe you can remind me, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: it was a pretty cool deal. I did take some
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: vacations along the way. And during the vacations, you know
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: what I did.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I went to the pool.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: My wife was there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she's in her bikini. I'm in my shorts and
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I'm laying at the pool and she's listening to music
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: and taking a little nap, and I'm thinking about, well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: who's going to be the next receiver on Seattle to
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: break out? Because Jasn If he does the exact same thing,
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: is it going to be he? Does Cup have a rebound?
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Does Tony Horden.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Take a step forward?
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Is there Elijah Royo? Does he take a step forward?
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: So I'm thinking about it all the time. Our podcast
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: never slows down. We do it at least three times
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: a week during the offseason, and now we're up to
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: five days a week with training camp open. So to
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: answer your question, no, I don't really take a vacation.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking about football all the time.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It never never stops.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: For Dave Richard, Well, that's why you're in demand, that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: why we love having you on. All right, Well, let's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: get to a few things, and I do want to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: start with the Seahawks. Just your thoughts, I mean, I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: gonna throw out the name AJ Barner. I just said
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: yesterday that he might be end up being the talk
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of camp for the Seahawks. New offensive coordinator who had
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a little time with George Kittle turned him into a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pretty good player. And Barner had a little bit of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough last year. I think he's gonna have a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: bigger breakthrough this year. So that's just me. Has Dave
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: already made a note of Aj Barner? What's the buzz
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: around him heading into the season.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: It's hard for me to get behind Barner when he
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: didn't even average four targets per game last year.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I know we had his moments, but a lot of
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: those had.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: To do with the seven touchdowns that he scored, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: for some tight ends, scoring a touchdown means having a
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: great week in fantasy. But I don't think Aj did
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: enough on top of those touchdowns to warrant getting picked,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: especially at a time when we're coming off a year
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: where three rookie tight ends we're outstanding, and now everybody's
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: clamoring to draft Colston Loveland in round three or round four,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Tyler Warren in round four or round five, Harold Fannon
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: in round five, or round six. And that's on top
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: of Trey McBride, brock Bauers. I know you guys have
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: seen a lot of McBride especially. There are a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: of really good young tight ends in the NFL, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: by the way, there's still a couple of really good
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: old tight ends, and so I think you're going to
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: be able to get away with one in your drafts, Chuck, okay,
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: because aj Barner won't be in demand and you will
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: be able to get him later on in your draft,
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: and he could have some sleeper potential, and he is
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: a name that I've thought about. Could he be basically
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: what you're looking for from a tight end? Can he
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: be first or second on his team in targets over
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: the course of the season. And if a tight end
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: can do that, they're probably going to have a big
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: role in fantasy. And I'm a little bit worried that
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: he may fall short of that in Seattle given all
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: the other pass catchers that they have in town.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And on your list of things in training camp that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: have to be monitored, how highly does the Seahawks running
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: back situation rank on that list.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: It's pretty high, and it's obviously very high profile because
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: this is a team that ran their way to a
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl victory and then let Kenneth Walker walk out
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the door to Kansas City. And he's going to be
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: a popular fantasy pick now because everybody's going to forget
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: about the injury history that he had and the limited
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: workload that he had last year, and they're just going
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: to assume that Andy Reid is going to sprinkle pixie
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: dust on him and he's suddenly going to become a
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: great fantasy running back. And it's possible, Yeah, but we
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: also know what the downside is with Kenneth Walker, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: I wonder how popular he will be in fantasy drafts
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: in Seattle this year and how many Seahawks fans are
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: actually going to take a former twelve with the top
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: twelve pick at running back. Jadaron Price was one of
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: my favorite prospects to evaluate. I think he's certainly better
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: than what the film showed because there wasn't a lot
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: of film. He was playing behind a very very good
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: prospect in Jeremiah Love.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: But he showed me in the limited film that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: He can catch the ball in the backfield, he can
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: tuch a little bit, he's got good speed. He certainly
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: has good size. It's just a matter of whether or
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: not the Seattle coaching staff is going to be comfortable
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: putting a lot on his plate right away. And the
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: longer it takes them to turn him into a full
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: time running back, the less likely he's going to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: great for fantasy because eventually Zach Charbonay is going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: come back. Charbonnee will be back, He'll have a ramp
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: up period, and then he will probably resume his role
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: of being the passing downs guy, the goal linee guy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: We all know what Sharbonay's great, and the coaches would
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: be stupid to not use him as such, and that
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: would limited the touches for jo Darien Price. So I
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: think it's it's a really tough thread to get through
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: the eye of the needle for Jadarion Price to be
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: a great fantasy running back when there are so many
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: obstacles that are in his path, the least of which
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: being that he is going to have to end up
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: sharing at some point to some degree to begin the
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: season in Seattle.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: If I could answer your previous question, my guess is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: eleven years of doing sports talk radio here that a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lot of Seahawk fans will overdraft Ken Walker one of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: those like protect n okay, protect my heart kind of things,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: like like if he goes and has a huge year,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: if he ends up being the running back that we
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: wanted him to be in the regular season for four
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: years here in Seattle, at least my wallet will benefit
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: where my heart will be hurt.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I think that got it, got it?
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: So so you're telling me that, And I might say
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: this on our podcast as soon as tomorrow, Chuck, Like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Seattle fans are going to end up root for Kenneth.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Walker, not rooting for him, but protecting themselves just in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: case he ends up being special in Kansas City. At
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: least I benefited from it in some way. You know
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: See an emotional hedge as it were, Yeah, exactly exactly.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I might be broken hearted, but at least my wallet
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: will make up for that a little bit if he
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ends up being special. All right, let's talk about you
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: brought up Jeremiah Love and talking about price. So how
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: high is Jeremiah Love being drafted in that Cardinals situation
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that they'll have going there?
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Well, fantasy managers are always excited about rookies, and there's
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: been at least one rookie running back that's come out
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: and been a popular pick. Goodness, I think we're going
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: back three or four drafts now when it's happened, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Love actually is not going as high as I thought
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: he would. I thought Jeremiah Love would get taken as
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: a top twenty four pick. We're seeing him going in
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: round three right now, and I think it's because of
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: a couple factors. Number One, we all know this. The
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Cardinals are not a great football team, and they're especially
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: in a tough division in the NFC West. Their defense
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: isn't good. Their offensive line is a big question mark,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: so that's a factor. It's also a factor that the
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Cardinals signed Tyler Algier from away from Atlanta to add
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: to their running back group, and he's somebody that could
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: handle some of what Zach Charbonnay does the short yardage
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: goal line work. Algier has been very good at that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: They also still have James Connor as of now their roster,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: whether or not they trade him, find a new home
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: for him, or keep him because he's got valuable veteran
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: experience that remains to be seen. Those two guys could
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: cut into what Jeremile Love's workload can be. And then
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: there's the other factor in Arizona, which is as bad
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: as that team is, particularly on defense and on the
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: offensive line, they still have a lot of other weapons
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: on offense, so they don't have to overload Jeremile Love
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: with twenty touches per game in a similar way that
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: maybe the Raiders tried to do with Ashton genty last year,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: and once upon a time the Falcons did with Bejon
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Robinson when he was a rookie running back. So I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: thinking that the round three price tag is fair for
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Jeremiah Love. And the reason why you'd be excited about
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: him is because he is such an exciting talent. He's
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: got amazing acceleration. He will break some big runs that
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: the offensive line doesn't really have a lot to do with.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: He'll create it himself and that'll make him that'll endear
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: him to fantasy managers because he'll put up points. It's
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: just a matter of how many of them he will
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: have over the course of the season. That keeps me
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: from putting him higher than Kenneth Walker, for example, Kyron Williams.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Those two guys also in the NFC West. Definitely I
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: would take ahead of Jeremiah Love as we sit here today,
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: all right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Well, give me the rookie that you do think is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: going to hit the ground running and you should draft
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: him high. And then give me that Dave Richard Special,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that rookie that you're going to be closely monitoring and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: training camp because you got a pretty good feeling about him.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And if you think he lands with the right team
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and his he used the right way, that he might
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: be worth somebody investing in.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Well, that wide receiver is definitely going to be Casey
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Conception on on the Cleveland Browns. And this kind of
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: grows to talk up a Cleveland Browns wide receiver. But
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: you know, one of the things that I did with
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: CBS Sports this offseason was right the player profiles and
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: evaluate the top players in the NFL Draft. So sort
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: of scouted these guys, watched a lot of their film,
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: studied them when as deep as I possibly could. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: when I watched case Conception on play, he reminded me
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: a lot of Zay Flowers. And Jay Flowers was the
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: top wide receiver in Baltimore last year. He had a
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: career year last year. His play caller last year was
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Todd Monkin, who is now the head coach of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Cleveland Browns. So I bet Monkin saw some of Jay
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Flowers in Casey conception On's game and liked him enough
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: to put him on his team with.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: A first round pick.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: He's the one that I'm really going to be paying
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: attention to this training camp because I think he could
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: end up being better than advertised for the Cleveland Browns.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: And as far as any other rookie goes. Uh, that's
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: a tough one for me because this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Is amazing both parts of the question there.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: You know what, if I can get away with answering that,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go ahead and take it. Because the
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Kenyon Sadiq was the top tight end in the draft class,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: I hated where he landed. There were other wide receivers
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: who I definitely liked, I hated where they landed in
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: the draft class. Makai Lemon, for example, love the talent.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: I think he'll be good this year. I'm a little
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: worried about him this year in Philadelphia with all the
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: changes that Philadelphia made, I think their veterans are going
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: to be good. I'm worried about Lemon being a huge contributor.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Same thing with Carnel Tate in Tennessee. So I want
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: to give up most of these rookies a little bit
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: of time. I don't think the Browns can afford to
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: give their rookies time. I think they need to get
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: them on the field and see what they have conception
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: and can win at all three levels. He's somebody that
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to target in all of my drafts.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Fantasy draft expert Dave Richard from CBS Sports joining us. Yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: we're previewing training camp by getting ahead of this fantasy
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: football conversation before camp even begins. All Right, new systems,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: new ocs that have changed places. Things you know, areas
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: people that are gonna get unlocked by the fact they
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got a different play caller who stands out when I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: described that scenario.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Throw a rock and hit an LA Charger and you're
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: gonna find somebody who could be significantly better with Mike
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: McDaniel calling the plays in Los Angeles. And I do
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: think there will be a Jim Harbin influence to lean
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: on the run game, maybe a little bit more than
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Mike McDaniel did in Miami, maybe because McDaniel couldn't lean
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: on the running backs as much as he wanted to.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: There are a lot of games where they were competitive
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: or chasing points and the running backs had to catch
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: balls out of the backfield. We know that with Devon
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: A chan so Amar and Hampton is somebody that I
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: look at who could be an outstanding breakout candidate just
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: putting a great offensive line in place in LA with
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: a great offensive genius like Mike McDaniel who's done great
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: things with running backs even before Devon HM was in
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: the National Football League. I think Hampton benefits same thing
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: with Ladd McConkie. I think he sees his target volume
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: tick up a little bit. He gets a lot of
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: short targets. Mike McDaniel has talked about giving Justin Herbert
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: a lot of easy throws, quick throws that's right up
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Ladd McConkie's alley. He can make plays after the catch
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: and do good with them, and that means that Justin
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Herbert is a top twelve fantasy quarterback and should be
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: drafted accordingly. I don't believe he's had a year yet
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: in his career where he's averaged below nineteen fantasy points
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: per game. The number that we always look for Chuck
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: is twenty when it comes to a quarterback and that's
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: in six point per passing touchdown leagues. Herbert's right on
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: that border every year of his career. He's throwing a
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: little bit of rushing that he'll do and man, he
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: could have an outstanding year. So that's my favorite offensive
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: play college change. And remember more than half of the
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: NFL teams have new play callers this year. I like
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: what Detroit did, and I know it sounds a little
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: silly because it wasn't like Arizona's offense was anything to
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: write home about until Jacoby Brissett got on the field.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: But Drew Petsing has this tendency and track record of
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: utilizing tight ends more and most other teams. He was
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: kind of ahead of the curve there because I think
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams are going to use multiple tight
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: ends this year, and I think the Lions were looking
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: specifically for that and that's why they hired Petsing. But
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Petsing should be able to unlock not only Sam Laporta,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: but if laporter becomes a big factor, opponents are going
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: to know it and all the other pass catchers are
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: going to be a big deal in Detroit, and that
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: means Jared Goff is going to be an interesting sleeper.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: And then in Las Vegas, how could we not mention
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Klink Kubiak after what he did left and frankly, what
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: he did the year before in New Orleans that got
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: him hired.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: In Seattle in the first place.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: Man, the fact that he was able to make things
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: work like he did last year, I think he deserves
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: a ton of credit for that. Now he goes to
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Las Vegas, We've got questions about the quarterback there, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: they've got two top twenty fantasy options. I'm talking top
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: twenty overall in Ashton genty and Brock Bauers, And I
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: think those two guys are going to get the ball
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: a ton and then Las Vegas and Clint Kubak is
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: going to use them very well.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: All right, who's Dave Richards's crash victim? Then?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Like somebody who's not going to benefit from an offensive change,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: or maybe somebody that their workload was so great a
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: year ago that you're worried about the follow up.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: So let's start with Christian McCaffrey, who is not getting
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: a coordinator change and has one of the best offensive
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: coordinators in football. But our favorite fantasy running back had
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: four hundred and fifty touches between the regular season and
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: the postseason last year for the forty nine ers. Sufficiency
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: went down and he had a ton of work. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: he's had four hundred plus touches in a season before twice,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: actually Chuck, and each time he's missed significant playing time
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: the year after.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Did I mention he's turning thirty years old, by.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: The way, and that the forty nine Ers coaching staff
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: is starting to talk about getting other running backs involved.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: And so I think if you draft Christian McCaffrey, you
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: have to downgrade expectations. I do have him as a
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: first round pick, but man, I'm telling you, if I
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: draft him, I need to know if he's healthy, and
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I would assume at this point he is. But we've
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: had seasons where he's been healthy all training camp and
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, he's not in Week one
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: comes around. So you've got to be really careful. And
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: if I drave McCaffrey, I want to draft at least
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: one of his backup running backs. Jordan James is my
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: favorite one at this point in the season. So he's
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: somebody that worries me quite a bit. Eliite Neighbors is
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: a name that has a ton of hype, but he's
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: coming back from a real serious injury. The Giants have
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: said that they're not sure when he's going to end
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: up being his old self. He might not be his
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: old self until twenty twenty seven. I have a hard
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: time taking him as a top twenty wide receivers some
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: of the guys that we've named already, Lad mccacky being
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: one of them. I didn't really mention DeVante Smith, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: obviously in Philadelphia, those are two guys I'm taken well
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: ahead of Malik Neighbors at this point in the offseason.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: So those are two names. I think fantasy managers they
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: recognize those names. They expect big, big things. I don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: know how big of things they're going to end up being.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: They might disappoint last one.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I'll let you go.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm bringing this up because I was actually I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was on a little bit of a run the other
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: day and Trevor Lawrence came across my mind and I'm like,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: for some reason, like, hey, Trevor Lawrence, Man, I think
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to target him in the draft. I'm going
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a real sleeper there. And I went home, and I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: took a shower, and I sat down, and I decided
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to go do some Trevor Lawrence research. And I'm like, oh,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he was the fourth best fantasy quarterback last year.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Real sleeper that I've grabbed.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So I want to ask, who's somebody that maybe people
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: have slept on that had a monster year last year
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and people don't even realize it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Right now, let's start with the league MVP, Matthew Stafford,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: who you've seen three times against your Seahawks, and you
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: know that he's overed putting up huge numbers.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: You might say he's.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Overrated, but you know he's going to get a ton
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: of opportunities.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: He's fantastic throw the football.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: And I think, I, do you remember.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: That press conference after the first day of the NFL
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Draft when Sean McVeigh looked just like totally stressed out
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: over the team picking Tysonson.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that, Oh yeah, we made a big
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: deal out of it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I think it was because use Stafford didn't like the pick.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: And if there's one thing a head coach wants to do,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: it's keep his league MVP quarterback happy. And so I
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: wonder if Matthew Stafford kind of plays with a chip
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: on his shoulder this year, as if to say, you know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: screw everybody, I'm better. I just had an MVP year.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: I've got to go and back it up again. I'm
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: not ready for a rookie to take over my job
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: just yet. And Stafford goes out there and he has
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: another big year. We're seeing Herbert, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: all going, Jackson dart is going ahead of Matthew Stafford,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: and I think you could just wait on draft day
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: and you can let people take those other guys. You
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: can let people take Trevor Lawrence first. Stafford I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: is a good fantasy pick. I don't think he'll be
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: as good as he was last year, but he was
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: also like twenty eight fantasy points per game last year.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: I don't think he needs to be that good to
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: be worth a pick that late in fantasy.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Well, camp just getting underway.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to be monitoring everything all at
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: once with your little crystal ball all that you have
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: there in your CBS office. So we appreciate you joining
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: us now, kind of getting that appetite going here this morning,
• 21:09

• 21:12
  Speaker 1: promise you we're gonna bug you again real soon.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: I'll answer the phone when you call me, Chuck, I
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: always do.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks man, All right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Dave Richard joining us right here on Chuck and Buck
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in the morning. So of course you can follow him
• 21:24

  Speaker 1: You can follow him at Dave Richard and he's got
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the podcast going right now, so there's there's all sorts
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of access to Dave. And the fantasy football world really
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: never does shut down. It is a year round spectacle.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: They're always dicing it up, chopping it up. And yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: some great stuff from him today. And I got a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: million more questions for those of you that were like,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: why are we talking fantasy football? Well, it turns out
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I left a million questions on the tape.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Who knew there was so much to talk about when
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: training camp is only three four days away?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Three days away.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I did not realize Trevor Lawrence had that fantastic of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a year last year. He had like ten touchdown runs
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I did think he were going to say, And then
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I got in the shower and I kept thinking about
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and I was like, this is a lot
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: of information there.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: You realized he was No.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Everybody else not that excited about fantasy folks ever know.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And when I shower, I just clean up. Okay, some
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: parts more aggress until football season.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: All right, ABC's that the EM's coming your way next.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. There's any validity
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: behind the fact that she is my girl?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, she's not your girl.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: It sounds like that she's everybody's girl. So I don't
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: even associate with myself with people that are everybody's girl.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: She might be that kind of person though, that everyone
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: meets her and feels like she just makes you feel like, oh,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that's my girl.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Sharel So it wasn't like a personal thing she was in.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That's an awful, nasty rumor to spread.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Girl.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: No, okay, well at least he said it straight.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did want to take a little bit of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: time to set that straight. All right, let's get into
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the abcs of the m's. We're at the end of
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the alphabet. We left off yesterday at.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: The letter W. What else do you think I'm gonna
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: start with? I have to W is.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: For Wilson and we did talk about this at six
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: oh five and six point thirty this morning and also
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: seven forty five this morning, but we haven't talked about
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: last night's game in the second half of the show
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: whatsoever because of other commitments. And so I did want
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to kind of bring back up our headline from the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: way we started the show. And look, we lost the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: game last night. We faced a really good starting pitcher.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: He's been beating everybody this season, Chase Burns. I wasn't
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: even expecting to win. I didn't like the matchup last night.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: So I'm not bothered by the loss last night. But
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I just finished another game, and Ashley's in agreement where
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we're just sitting there scratching our heads, like if you're
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: going to have a different philosophy from me or pretty
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: much any other manager that's lived on a game by
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: game basis, okay, but at least be consistent with it
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: so that we can figure out whether or not you're
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: right and I'm wrong right, or whether you're right or
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: we're wrong right. But when you go from the night
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: before saying in a one nothing game that we're leading,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: George Kirby spent way too much time down during the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: break and can only go eighty pitches and we have
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to take them out of the game after six innings,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: up one to nothing, and then explain it away as
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: we've just seen enough, nothing really tangible, just we've seen enough.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: And then the very next night you let Luis Castillo,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: who had just as much time off, go one hundred pitches.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: How does that make any sense?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Doesn't to me. I can't figure it out.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Down three to nothing, I get down three to nothing,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: but up one nothing when you don't have your bullpen
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: there from the night before, you didn't have any of
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: your high leverage guys available from what we understand, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: yet taking George Kirby out with nine out and you
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: got lucky because you ran into six runs in the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: bottom of the seventh and bailed you out and you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: win the game. But then the very next night, one
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: hundred pitches for Castillo. Okay, so now I don't believe
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: your reasons for the previous night.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Also, what on earth?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: All?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So I was actually glad when I saw Jose Ferrer,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: who's one of our foremost reliable guys, even though he's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a little off right now.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: But down two eighth inning, and we went with.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Ferrer, like okay, okay, okay, I would have understood if
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you didn't go with Ferrer, if you would have gone
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: with relievers five through eight here, because we're down too.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: There's six outs to go, even though the Red's bullpen
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: has back.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Even though I would go, I would try to count
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on our guys getting a bloop and a blast and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: tying this thing up or maybe something more in the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: last two innings.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: But at three to one, let's put for Rare in
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: the game. We got a little momentum. We scored the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: most recent run for Rare pitches.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: He's kind of all over the place, but you get
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: out of it still down two.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Then you score a run on the Julio homer. Now
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you're down just one.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And I thought for sure when we come back from
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the break, I'm seeing either Bizardo or spire Yep on
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the mound for inning number.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Nine, and instead it's Rucker.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Makes no sense.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: So down two, we were good to hang in there
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: with one of our better guys, but then cutting it
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to one, now it's time to cut bait. Now we
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: clearly aren't going to get back in this one. And
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they gave up, or that we
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't have come back, or that Michael Rucker couldn't have
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: thrown a scoreless ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds. But
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: he is our mop up guy. That's his role on
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: this team. And the fact that he was used last
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: night after you'd used for Rare.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: If you would have used Wilcox and.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Then you, then I would have said, Okay, well, they've
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: decided to save everybody.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: They don't think we can come back.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: They've decided to save everybody for the next days to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: make sure that we win the series. But to be
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: down two and throw one of the better guys and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: then be down one and decide, man, we don't.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Have a shot here, let's go to Rutger.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Or at least even if you didn't think you didn't
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: have a shot, to take the risk like you want someone.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I'm oversimplifying that. I know that they weren't giving up
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: on the game, right, but down one, put Bizardo out there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: We're we're one hit away, and I'm not surprised that
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: we didn't come up with a rally in the bottom
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of the ninth because it feels like the manager gave up.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: What it felt like last night.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as you said, either use the either go with Rutger,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: go with Wilcox, whatever right after you pull Castillo and
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: go from there, or go with your good with your
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: good guys. It makes zero sense to me why you
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: had Ferrara in and then your next move was to
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: bring Rucker in when you're only down one. It seems
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: like you would want to preserve that one run deficit.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Plus we have a day off on Thursday. We've had
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: a day game today.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That's like fifty five hours of no of everybody getting rest. Yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: until we play again on Friday night against the Texas Rangers.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And we're not going to try to win that game
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: last night because we're down one.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: And to try to say because it's a short turnaround
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: for tomorrow, I mean, come on, these guys can handle this.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: And then the reason was because Rucker looked good the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: night before in an eight nothing game.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Very different.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Situation X is for experiment, because that's all we are
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: when it comes to challenges. We are straight up shampoo.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Give me a little scared of there.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: We are terrible at it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And last night I may have taken the cake that
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Randya Rose Arena talked Dan into challenging that play, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: then Josh. Josh's challenge was horrible under the situation, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: then Col's was the worst I've seen all season long
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: by any player, manager, anyone. Just because you really want
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: it to be a ball doesn't mean you challenge it well.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: And then on the broadcast they were trying to say, well,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: that pitch just had so much movement on it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: It really threw him off.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I'm like, he knew it was a strike, and I
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: could understand, you have, you have one challenge left and
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: your that ends the game. Yes, challenge, of course, what
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: have you got to lose, even if it's the nine.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but not in that moment. Oh my gosh, it
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: was so like, so clearly a strike.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Those were our three challenges and they were just all
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: just terrible. Yeah, they were poop and over three by
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the way, not one of them successful. Why is for youngins.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of young'in's playing right now. Colt
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Emerson the youngest of them all. Great play by him,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, I mean, just veteran right to home
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to get maybe the fastest player in Major League Baseball
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and make Cal's job perfectly easy. Just a bullet right
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to Cal's chest for the easy tag. That's a really
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: good play under the situation. You could rush that, throw
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: it wildly. Emerson's really good at that, but he is
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: struggling severely offensively, and I'm curious to see what they're
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: going to choose if and when Brendan Donovan does come back.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's out of the I want him
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to stay. I want cold Emerson. I think this defense
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: makes up for the offense at all times, but I'm
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: not sure.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: They're gonna feel that way.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that if Donovan gets activated that they
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: won't put Donovan at third and move JP back to short.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Makes us a really bad infield again, defensively, really bad.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Well, and we had hoped that when you're bringing up
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: cold Emerson, you're doing it for good.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I want for him to go back and forth.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I want him to stay. I want him to stay,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know what they're going
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to do on that front. They might decide with him
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: having such offensive struggles that we're a better lineup, which
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: is definitely I mean, I can complain all I want
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: about Dan, but scoring has definitely been the biggest issue
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: all season long, and they may opt for the offense
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to have keep JP in the lineup down in the order,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: have down of it at the top of the order.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, we'll see.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that to Colt Emerson, but they might. Finally,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Zia's for Zisc, Richie Zisk. The Richie Zisc Bowl getting
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: ready to start on Friday. Four games against the Texas Rangers.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I'd like to go into that game in first place,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind, And then I would like to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: make a statement. But I think about the Bucky Jacobson
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: glossary of terms. You don't ever call anything big until
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: it's time.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: To be big.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: But this will be the biggest i'll say, series of
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the entire year thus far. Four games against the Texas
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Rangers starting on Friday. And so we get ready for
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the Richiesisk Bowl.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, we played for both teams, Yes.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, coming up next, one last thing to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: close this out, Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: A r F M.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: See you got your McDonald's in here. See that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: I didn't see it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got you had some McDonald's in here.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Look at us.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: They got that.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently they got these clear plastic bags now, but apparently
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you can take right into the ballpark.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Well, those are nice.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: In the clear plastic bag.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure why you couldn't take a McDonald's
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: like unclear plastic bag into the ball They're.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Small enough, why shouldn't you Well, but.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway, apparently you can do this now at the old
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: T mobile. You can just go get your mcvalue bag
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: all right. Yeah, and it's a clear plastic so make
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: sure you don't, you know, bring any shives into the ballpark.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: This is just making me hungry.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I'm saying, it's like McDonald's knew I
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: was hungry and then was like, I'm going to bring
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: them some food and make her real happy.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can just sit there.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: It's just when I was a kid my grandma, when
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I went to my grandma's and she would buy me ballcards. Yeah,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: she would always take me to the dime store. It's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: called Benjamin Franklin's. She called it the dialing store. We
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: went there, Yeah, and then I loved going because ben
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Franklin's and Bunker Hill had the clear plastic ball cards.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: You can get three packs in one and they be
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: wrapped in cellophane, so you could see at least who
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: was on the top of the stack and who was
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: on the bottom of the stack, so you knew six
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: guys that you were going to get. So I'd go
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: through the wall trying to figure out the sick combination
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of the six cards.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I wanted most Yeah, being able to see through.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I went to Ben Franklin as a kid, and because
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: they had the clear plastic jelly shoes, that's what they
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: would also see through. Oh now they apparently come back
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: but on adults, which is odd to me.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: What if we can combine the two Put a ball
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: card inside the jelly shoe.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, put it on the bottom. That'd be cool.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Kick your feet up, all right, Well, thank you McDonald,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: so we appreciate all right, one last thing, what do
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you got back there? Well?
• 34:00

• 34:05
  Speaker 3: to the regionals for the Softball Little League World Series
• 34:07

  Speaker 4: No, Maddie Locke.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Maddie Locke's very good.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fourteen strikeout, it's pretty impressive.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a feeling she's going to end up
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: being really good too.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know why, what makes you think that.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: All right, good good?
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Well, well, another team we always have a team to monitor, Yeah,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: we have to. Has there been a boys team that
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: is merged here locally?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Or I think that they just are finishing finish, They're behind,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: So there's yeah, because they're Little League World Series I
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: think in the middle of August, if I'm correct. So
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: we'll we'll have to see who's going to the regionals
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: and how that plays out. I know Mill Creek went
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: to the state tournament, but I don't think I think
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: they didn't make it out of state.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: That time of year, that time of year. Yeah, I'm
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: close with this, and it can be very light. I mean,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: we can dismiss it within seconds. I'm just curious because
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I do like these two celebrities. I think that they
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: come off really well and they really do seem to
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: like one another. But are Tom Holland and Zendaia as
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: big as what we act like they are?
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Are they?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, are they like monster like A list A
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: plus list because they are everywhere they are.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I believe that. I mean, they're in the biggest movies,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: so they have to be.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Well, are they just in Spider Man?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: No, there aren't. They both in Odyssey. Did you see
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Odyssey yet?
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: They are coming in Yeah, that it is coming out.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: But that's like the first movie he's done other than
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Spider Man.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think he was real popular from that,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: and then she's been in a bunch of and she
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: was in Euphoria that show.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Oh is that right?
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they justified then. Yeah, did they get that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: much attention? Yeah?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think so.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: All right. I think they handle it well, and.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Then the fact that they're a couple just makes them
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: get more attention. Yeah.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I mean there's some that I don't think handle it well.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: So I think they handle their celebrity really well. They
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: seem really down to earth.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the same thing.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: He seems a little like territorial uh with her. But
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I was just curious. It was just a
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: question like, are they really this big? Are they like
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: a plus celebrity? Yeah?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: I think they are. I think they're big time movies.
• 37:22
