- 1:10Speaker 2: who have started the season at one and two on
- 1:12Speaker 2: the ear NBA Playoffs. The Cleveland Cavaliers got the job
- 1:16Speaker 2: done in Detroit yesterday and now have a chance to
- 1:19Speaker 2: close out the one seed Pistons on Friday in six games.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Charles Barkley was going on about that's game seven for
- 1:27Speaker 2: the Cleveland Cavaliers. We shall see. Detroit's had its back
- 1:30Speaker 2: against the wall a few times here in the postseason
- 1:33Speaker 2: and are still alive. But we've got a game six
- 1:37Speaker 2: in Cleveland coming up on Friday. Also Friday, it'll be
- 1:41Speaker 2: a double header. No NBA playoff games. Tonight. Spurs and
- 1:43Speaker 2: Timberwolves will also play their sixth game, with the Spurs
- 1:47Speaker 2: being up three to two. On Friday. Stanley Cup Playoffs. Somehow, someway,
- 1:52Speaker 2: the Colorado Avalanche closed out the Minnesota Wild They were
- 1:55Speaker 2: trailing by two goals with a minute and a half
- 1:57Speaker 2: left in regulation, play tied it up, send it to overtime,

- 2:15Speaker 2: PGA Championship Day number one is today from Philadelphia. We'll
- 2:19Speaker 2: get you some scoreboard updates on that as we go here.
- 2:22Speaker 2: This morning, Mariners lost in ten innings to the Houston
- 2:26Speaker 2: Astros four to three. Bryce Miller was fantastic in his return.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I would argue was kept in too long and they
- 2:33Speaker 2: ended up losing four to three and ten innings, and
- 2:35Speaker 2: it was a crusher. And to add more to that,
- 2:39Speaker 2: insult to injury. Literally cal Raley left the game and
- 2:42Speaker 2: it looked like he tweaked something in his right side,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and so looks like maybe Cal could be headed to
- 2:49Speaker 2: the IL. We'll find out more information as the day progresses.
- 2:53Speaker 2: But it is also NFL schedule release day today, and
- 2:57Speaker 2: it's time to find out what Greg Bell or Seahawks
- 2:59Speaker 2: in side or news. Greg Bell with us here on
- 3:04Speaker 2: the radio program.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Good morning, Greg, Good morning, sir.
- 3:08Speaker 2: How are you?
- 3:10Speaker 4: I'm good? Yeah.
- 3:10Speaker 2: You think you're gonna finally get to col on the IL.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Yeah. I've been saying since Monday, just shut him down
- 3:18Speaker 4: to protect himself, but watching him wins through a game
- 3:23Speaker 4: in May makes no sense. I mean none. They can
- 3:27Speaker 4: win the division if he missed a month, give him
- 3:30Speaker 4: a break, man, You just shut him down rest.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're acting like somebody that thinks baseball is
- 3:35Speaker 2: a long season. A lot of people. Yeah, that's stupid, Greg.
- 3:40Speaker 4: That's true. Games. There's nothing to that, all right, because
- 3:47Speaker 4: on the ten day, I l he'll come back and
- 3:48Speaker 4: there's still one hundred and ten plus games left. You
- 3:50Speaker 4: know what I mean, that.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Might be the thing you have to do now now
- 3:54Speaker 2: if he has indeed aggravated it for sure.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yeah, don't ask him. It's obvious they've been deferring to him.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Just say no, we're gonna take care of you and
- 4:02Speaker 4: save you from yourself and just shut you down.
- 4:04Speaker 2: What would Mike McDonald do? I think that's what we
- 4:07Speaker 2: always have to ask ourselves.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Go through, not around, That's what you would say, so
- 4:13Speaker 4: properly keep him in there.
- 4:16Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's talk some schedule. It's NFL schedule
- 4:19Speaker 2: release day. And I would imagine it was quite a
- 4:23Speaker 2: thud to your heart and your life that you found
- 4:27Speaker 2: out you're gonna have to cover the Seahawks on Christmas Day.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So what do you think of it as a person
- 4:31Speaker 2: and as a professional that the Seahawks and Rams are
- 4:34Speaker 2: gonna meet on our holiest of holies.
- 4:37Speaker 4: No, I think it's great that it's Christmas Night and
- 4:39Speaker 4: it's at home. I'm okay with that. What's five point fifteen?
- 4:43Speaker 4: Christmas comes around? Good? I mean great, everybody and the kids,
- 4:47Speaker 4: everybody's happy, the wife, we're good. Christmas night for us.
- 4:51Speaker 4: We've decompressed Christmas Eve is our huge thing in our family.
- 4:54Speaker 4: So the fact I don't have to get on a
- 4:57Speaker 4: plane Christmas Eve is I've done that way too many
- 5:00Speaker 4: times in my career, and so yeah, the fact that
- 5:03Speaker 4: it's at home is a big deal. And this is
- 5:07Speaker 4: part of the spoilers of being a Super Bowl champion.
- 5:09Speaker 4: You get the two most unique dates on the calendar.
- 5:14Speaker 4: A Wednesday night opener in your home yard and then
- 5:17Speaker 4: a Christmas night game. It's on a Friday. I can't
- 5:21Speaker 4: see the Seahawks and Rams having a bye on Christmas
- 5:25Speaker 4: week week before Christmas, so that means both teams are
- 5:27Speaker 4: gonna have a short rest week, maybe four days they
- 5:31Speaker 4: play on Sunday. That's peculiar for a game that's that magnitude,
- 5:35Speaker 4: But I guess I'll take it could have been worse,
- 5:38Speaker 4: because I've been in worse on Christmas. Yeah.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Well, and speaking of worse, I mean, there was some
- 5:42Speaker 2: talk out there a while that they might play the Rams,
- 5:45Speaker 2: you know, twice and in the last three weeks of
- 5:48Speaker 2: the regular season, maybe even twice in the span of
- 5:51Speaker 2: a few days. But that seems to be getting dispelled.
- 5:55Speaker 2: What do you know, what's the latest on whether or
- 5:57Speaker 2: not you're gonna have to go, you know, at the
- 6:01Speaker 2: end of the season, you know, maybe spread apart by
- 6:04Speaker 2: no more than two or three weeks.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm hearing it is twice in three weeks. And
- 6:08Speaker 4: that the chatter I'm getting is the league loves to
- 6:12Speaker 4: have divisional showdowns to decide a division on the final
- 6:16Speaker 4: week of the season. They often can put them on
- 6:19Speaker 4: Sunday night as the final game. NBC will pick it.
- 6:22Speaker 4: The forty nine Ers Seahawks game was that way last
- 6:26Speaker 4: January Week eighteen in Santa Clara. That's the attractiveness of
- 6:31Speaker 4: the NFL doing that, and the fact that they play
- 6:34Speaker 4: on Christmas. Softies reporting that he's been told they're going
- 6:38Speaker 4: to play on Christmas and again they would play on
- 6:41Speaker 4: Week eighteen tells you the league thinks the Seahawks and
- 6:44Speaker 4: Rams are going to determine the NFC West Again those
- 6:47Speaker 4: Seahawks Rams games, because of how great all three were
- 6:50Speaker 4: last year, including the NFC Championship game. The Seahawks Rams
- 6:52Speaker 4: games are two of the best games in the league's inventory,
- 6:56Speaker 4: and that's why they are playing in Australia. That's why
- 7:00Speaker 4: playing in Christmas in Week eighteen. The networks have been
- 7:04Speaker 4: bidding over this game, those two games, it's obvious the
- 7:08Speaker 4: league thinks those two teams are two of their best
- 7:10Speaker 4: in the entire league again this season, and it's not
- 7:13Speaker 4: unusual because of the league, the way they like to
- 7:16Speaker 4: put their division games at the end, and if it
- 7:18Speaker 4: goes as everyone thinks it will, those will be massive
- 7:21Speaker 4: games in the most important times.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Now, Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks inside, of course,
- 7:25Speaker 2: with the News Tribune. You can cover all his work
- 7:28Speaker 2: at Thenewstribune dot com, and you can follow him at
- 7:31Speaker 2: g Bell Seattle on X and of course hear him
- 7:34Speaker 2: right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
- 7:37Speaker 2: every day during the week at ten o'clock with Christopher Kid.
- 7:43Speaker 2: All Right, So, opening day against the New England Patriots.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I'm shocked by that. Frankly, maybe I shouldn't be, but
- 7:51Speaker 2: I just thought there was no way that you're going
- 7:55Speaker 2: to start opening day against the team with this Verabel
- 7:58Speaker 2: Russini story being at the forefront of the conversations in
- 8:04Speaker 2: the National Football League this offseason. So your thoughts on
- 8:09Speaker 2: the matchup of the Patriots. Are you surprised at all
- 8:12Speaker 2: that that's our opening day opponent?
- 8:15Speaker 4: I am surprised but it tells you that the nature
- 8:19Speaker 4: of the NFL is that once the game start, the
- 8:21Speaker 4: games are king, and right now here in May, there's
- 8:25Speaker 4: nothing else to talk about but drip drip drip of
- 8:28Speaker 4: schedule leaks and who the new England Patriots coach may
- 8:32Speaker 4: may not have been sleeping with. There's nothing else to
- 8:34Speaker 4: talk about. So while it's dominating right now, and while
- 8:38Speaker 4: only Mike Brabel knows what might happen in next and
- 8:42Speaker 4: gets leaks next, there's nothing else to talk about. So
- 8:46Speaker 4: once the game, once training camp starts and guys get
- 8:49Speaker 4: cut and rosters get formed and the games begin, that
- 8:53Speaker 4: takes it always takes over center stage. And that's what
- 8:57Speaker 4: the NFL is banking on. Yes, there'll be some do
- 9:00Speaker 4: attention on that, but think about it, that's four months
- 9:04Speaker 4: from now. If nothing else comes out in the league,
- 9:07Speaker 4: and Rayble sure hope nothing else comes out, then that'll
- 9:10Speaker 4: be a four month old story. With the Patriots obviously
- 9:14Speaker 4: keeping their coach in place, there's just no indication that
- 9:17Speaker 4: there's going to be any punishment of any kind about
- 9:19Speaker 4: this on his end. So that's what the NFL is
- 9:22Speaker 4: hoping for now. If this wildfire continues and TMZ and
- 9:25Speaker 4: The New York Post keep getting pictures and videos sent
- 9:29Speaker 4: to them, and the story continues. The NFL will have
- 9:32Speaker 4: a public relations mistake by making this game the first one,
- 9:36Speaker 4: but the attractiveness of a Super Bowl rematch is what
- 9:39Speaker 4: the league is banking on. But obviously that's ignores the
- 9:42Speaker 4: fact that outside of the two oh six, the four,
- 9:46Speaker 4: two five, and the three six OHO, the Super Bowl
- 9:49Speaker 4: was a dud. It was boring, it was a punt fest.
- 9:52Speaker 4: It was nine to nothing for most of the game.
- 9:55Speaker 4: It was not one that people want to run back.
- 9:57Speaker 4: And that's what a lot of people are surprised about.
- 9:59Speaker 2: What would you what would you have thought would have
- 10:01Speaker 2: been an even better matchup to start the season.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Now, the Bears are compelling. They're fun to watch the
- 10:06Speaker 4: way they play, very attacking, risk taking defense to take
- 10:10Speaker 4: that led the league and takeaways last year. They have
- 10:13Speaker 4: Caleb Williams, they have Ben Johnson, the genius offensive mind,
- 10:17Speaker 4: against Mike McDonald, the genius defensive mind. That would have
- 10:20Speaker 4: there would have been more football storylines and maybe even
- 10:23Speaker 4: better football on the field to put the Bears in
- 10:26Speaker 4: the first game. I think I thought the Cowboys were
- 10:29Speaker 4: always even though the Cowboys are already prime timed all
- 10:32Speaker 4: over in Brazil and everything else. I thought the Cowboys
- 10:36Speaker 4: are always a potential factor of primetime opening games. So
- 10:41Speaker 4: those two were to me the Leaders and then Patriots
- 10:45Speaker 4: were distant, just the third and fourth, maybe fifth behind
- 10:48Speaker 4: even the Chiefs depending on the homes.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm really surprised by it. You know,
- 10:54Speaker 2: it's interesting, and I don't know if we've ever really
- 10:56Speaker 2: asked you about it, but I heard Larry Stone get
- 10:59Speaker 2: asked by Softy and Hugh last night about the Diana
- 11:03Speaker 2: Russini situation as obviously a legendary sports journalist here in town,
- 11:09Speaker 2: and he had some really strong opinions about Diana Russini
- 11:13Speaker 2: and her role in all of this. Your thoughts on
- 11:18Speaker 2: exactly what lines got crossed in this story?
- 11:23Speaker 4: Well, I am hesitant to comment on a fellow professional
- 11:27Speaker 4: journalist and how they conduct their business, but as far
- 11:31Speaker 4: as lines crossed, this is the rubicon, this is the
- 11:34Speaker 4: one you and it's easy for I don't say easy,
- 11:38Speaker 4: it's easier for me, as a male and a male
- 11:40Speaker 4: dominated sport in a locker room to talk about this.
- 11:44Speaker 4: I will say that the dynamic of a woman in
- 11:47Speaker 4: a male locker room and a woman in a male
- 11:49Speaker 4: dominated sport is completely foreign to me, and I'd be
- 11:52Speaker 4: ignorant to comment on any of that. Having said that,
- 11:56Speaker 4: personal relationships, even chumminess beyond romantic relationships, that absolutely undermines
- 12:05Speaker 4: your credibility of everything you do. It goes in the
- 12:07Speaker 4: face of everything I was ever taught about journalism and
- 12:11Speaker 4: leadership and credibility and all of it. But and having
- 12:18Speaker 4: said all of that, chuck every single time another picture,
- 12:21Speaker 4: another story comes out about this. I think about the
- 12:25Speaker 4: spouses and the kids, and the kids in particular they
- 12:29Speaker 4: both have children, and imagine going to school and every
- 12:33Speaker 4: single person, every single kid and teacher and administrator knows
- 12:36Speaker 4: story and knows that your mom and your dad were
- 12:39Speaker 4: involved in this on both sides of this. That's who
- 12:41Speaker 4: I think about every single time, and we get into
- 12:46Speaker 4: the salaciousness of it all. But there's a human element
- 12:49Speaker 4: to this too that I just can't get away from
- 12:51Speaker 4: as a father and a husband, that this is hugely
- 12:54Speaker 4: damaging to them and it's not going to end as
- 12:59Speaker 4: long as these stores, and as I said, picture pictures
- 13:02Speaker 4: and videos keep getting sent to these outlets and they
- 13:04Speaker 4: keep putting these things out, and that's a toll that
- 13:08Speaker 4: nobody can understand. It's just unfortunate. But from the journalism
- 13:12Speaker 4: of it, you just can't do it. Journalism is a
- 13:17Speaker 4: lot of people say a lot of things about journalism,
- 13:19Speaker 4: but at its core, it's the opposite of this. It's
- 13:23Speaker 4: making sure there is a wall between you and the
- 13:26Speaker 4: people you report upon, so that when things go bad
- 13:28Speaker 4: or that there's some tough stories or tough questions you
- 13:31Speaker 4: have to ask, you have the credibility to ask them
- 13:34Speaker 4: without having compromised that credibility before. That's like a foreign
- 13:38Speaker 4: concept to a lot of people that just have thumbs
- 13:40Speaker 4: and keyboards these days. But that's what true journalism is, right.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Right, Greg Bell is whether it's our seaws inside or
- 13:47Speaker 2: from the News Tribune again the Newstribune dot com. All right,
- 13:51Speaker 2: so it is NFL schedule release day. I'm glad you
- 13:54Speaker 2: weighed in on. I did want to ask you about that,
- 13:56Speaker 2: But obviously the bigger story is what else is going
- 14:00Speaker 2: going to happen later on this afternoon? So what are
- 14:03Speaker 2: you expecting, what are you hearing, what are you rooting for?
- 14:07Speaker 2: However you want to answer that question, what's the day
- 14:10Speaker 2: going to be like? For the Seahawks here today.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Well, hearing that there are gonna be a lot of
- 14:17Speaker 4: primetime games, which is what Super Bowl champions get. I'm
- 14:20Speaker 4: hearing that the Seahawks are going to have another joint
- 14:25Speaker 4: practice in the preseason. McDonald loves him and I've been
- 14:29Speaker 4: joking with him since we went to green Bay. Hey,
- 14:31Speaker 4: can you get it back to Nashville. That was a
- 14:33Speaker 4: lot more fun than green Bay for a week summer
- 14:35Speaker 4: week in Nashville. It was a blast compared to green Bay.
- 14:38Speaker 4: And he kept laughing at me. He goes, I'll see
- 14:40Speaker 4: what I can do. That's a good idea. Actually, that's
- 14:41Speaker 4: a good idea. Actually, I'm hearing, Yes, the Seahawks are
- 14:44Speaker 4: going to go back to Nashville for joint practice, and
- 14:47Speaker 4: it's going to be a few days before August the
- 14:49Speaker 4: twenty third, So maybe a Tuesday Wednesday or Tuesday Wednesday
- 14:54Speaker 4: or Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday joint practice with a weekend
- 14:58Speaker 4: game in Tennessee against the Titans. Not a huge deal
- 15:02Speaker 4: in the big grand scheme, but personally I like that one.
- 15:04Speaker 4: That was a good piece. A lot of people have
- 15:06Speaker 4: been asking me about Las Vegas. I've seen multiple leaks
- 15:10Speaker 4: out there that the Seahawks will play at Las Vegas
- 15:13Speaker 4: week ten, November fifteenth. Those of you who may be
- 15:16Speaker 4: inclined to go to that road game, A lot of
- 15:18Speaker 4: Seahawks fans them, but ask if you win that game
- 15:20Speaker 4: is and an early Week three game at the Commander's
- 15:25Speaker 4: Sunday morning ten am start September twenty seventh has been
- 15:29Speaker 4: leaked in a couple places from the East Coast, including DC.
- 15:32Speaker 2: How do head coaches respond to the schedule coming out?
- 15:36Speaker 2: I mean, I know how fans do, and they hand
- 15:38Speaker 2: ring and this is fair and this isn't fair, and
- 15:41Speaker 2: we weren't respected here and we got to travel that
- 15:43Speaker 2: many times that many weeks in a row. But how
- 15:47Speaker 2: did Pete respond to scheduled day Mike respond? Or are
- 15:51Speaker 2: there things that truly bothered them when they see an
- 15:54Speaker 2: NFL schedule come out?
- 15:56Speaker 4: One thing, Chuck may well, two things, really, The one
- 15:59Speaker 4: thing primary wins the buye coaches and players. All they
- 16:03Speaker 4: care about is want to buy the players so they
- 16:05Speaker 4: can get their bodies rested and plan their trip all
- 16:08Speaker 4: over the world. Because when you get a bye week
- 16:10Speaker 4: in the NFL these days, you're gone from Monday to
- 16:12Speaker 4: Monday it's a complete week off, and so you plan accordingly,
- 16:17Speaker 4: and their wives and their families they wanted to win
- 16:19Speaker 4: that bye week is so they can start planning their trips.
- 16:22Speaker 4: And of course the optimal bye week is around week
- 16:25Speaker 4: eight or nine midway through the season. That rarely comes
- 16:27Speaker 4: out that way, and the later byes. Teams hate the
- 16:32Speaker 4: later buys. They don't mind the earlier byes so much
- 16:35Speaker 4: because they've still accumulated some dragging and grinding from training
- 16:39Speaker 4: camp and into the first games of the season. And okay,
- 16:42Speaker 4: if there's a week six or week four by at
- 16:44Speaker 4: least they're getting a break that gives you a lot
- 16:46Speaker 4: on the back end, of course, But they hate the
- 16:49Speaker 4: week twelve, thirteen eleven buyes because that means you're grinding
- 16:53Speaker 4: from training camp into the first ten games of the
- 16:57Speaker 4: regular season the first couple months, and then you're not
- 17:00Speaker 4: getting a break until late November early December. Those are
- 17:03Speaker 4: the latest you can get, and those are the most
- 17:06Speaker 4: the least popular. If they have a gripe on the schedule,
- 17:10Speaker 4: it would be if we find out today that the
- 17:12Speaker 4: Seahawks buy is in week twelve or thirteen, then that's
- 17:17Speaker 4: going to be a tough challenge for a lot of players.
- 17:20Speaker 4: The other thing is when the division games are, because
- 17:23Speaker 4: those are basically two game swings every time you play them,
- 17:27Speaker 4: and the fact that the NFL likes to backload them.
- 17:29Speaker 4: The fact that they didn't choose the Seahawks to go
- 17:33Speaker 4: to Australia, for instance, for multiple reasons to play the Rams,
- 17:37Speaker 4: or that they're not playing the Cardinals in the opening game,
- 17:40Speaker 4: which was a possibility up until a couple of days ago.
- 17:43Speaker 4: That tells you that probably more backloaded, as the NFL
- 17:46Speaker 4: often likes to do, and that gets the coaches and players'
- 17:50Speaker 4: attention as well. They all say the games are the same,
- 17:52Speaker 4: but it's true that there's a two game swing when
- 17:55Speaker 4: they play those games. So win are those and that's
- 17:57Speaker 4: what they pay attention to.
- 17:58Speaker 2: All Right, what's on the show today?
- 18:01Speaker 4: We talk to Steve White from the NFL Network about
- 18:05Speaker 4: a lots of the league's stuff going on, some of
- 18:07Speaker 4: what we've talked about already today about Aaron Rodgers and
- 18:10Speaker 4: the Steelers and how ridiculous it is that the Steelers
- 18:12Speaker 4: have put themselves in this situation two years in a
- 18:14Speaker 4: row with two different coaching stats. They probably hired Mike
- 18:17Speaker 4: McCarthy to get Aaron Rodgers, and yet here they are
- 18:20Speaker 4: in the middle of May, still don't have them. Stuff
- 18:22Speaker 4: like that. We'll talk to Steve White at eleven o'clock.

- 19:52Speaker 2: you one right now.
- 19:53Speaker 1: All right, let's hear it.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Steven Yeager, not the former Dodger catcher. Steven Yeager is
- 19:59Speaker 2: four under. He is leading right now, so if you
- 20:02Speaker 2: put some money on him, you are.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Excited, at least for the first day.
- 20:09Speaker 2: The biggest name at the top of the leaderboard two
- 20:12Speaker 2: under two strokes back, has got to be my guy Souflayh.
- 20:15Speaker 2: He's through six and two under at this point in
- 20:19Speaker 2: the proceedings. Of course, like half the field is not
- 20:22Speaker 2: even teed off at this point. Ricky Fowler, you know,
- 20:25Speaker 2: our guy Brady Cannon gave you a few, you know,
- 20:28Speaker 2: outside of the box kind of thoughts, and he's got
- 20:31Speaker 2: a lot of his guys doing well. Ricky Fowler. Dick
- 20:34Speaker 2: Fame brought up Brooks Koepka. They're both at one under
- 20:37Speaker 2: so far. Kepka's through six, Fowlers through seven and Rory
- 20:43Speaker 2: McElroy are even. McElroy's through six is through seven. Jordan's
- 20:49Speaker 2: Spieth also through six is even a Rory and Jordan
- 20:52Speaker 2: playing together.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I believe they are in the same group.
- 20:54Speaker 2: How about that?
- 20:55Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good they are.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's a pretty good decision, not bad at all. Yeah.
- 21:00Speaker 2: John Rahm won over and I'm just trying to, like
- 21:03Speaker 2: eyeball it, try to give you some guys. The Shambo's
- 21:05Speaker 2: two over at this point, and then terryl. Hatton is
- 21:08Speaker 2: three over. Half Fame angry.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Else's gonna be so angry.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Faine was part of our green Jacket draft yesterday.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Yes he was.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Yeah, we used him as our golf expert. What kind
- 21:21Speaker 2: of expert would take Tyrell hat?
- 21:22Speaker 3: He did say last night we were texting back and
- 21:24Speaker 3: forth because I was asking him how Dixon did yesterday
- 21:27Speaker 3: and he said nice. Yeah, well, you know, I'm a
- 21:29Speaker 3: nice person sometimes sometimes rarely, I know, but I decided
- 21:32Speaker 3: to be yesterday and he said, I think our golf
- 21:36Speaker 3: green Draft dracket Green Jacket draft went really well.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I think we have evenly matched teams.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Really was yeaheah, it's a It's a really good bit, Dick.
- 21:44Speaker 2: So you know, then we put some thought into He's like, we've.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Got some evenly matched teams. I thought that was good.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, well six Monday through Friday.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Yeah, you're leave me. You're going to be locked in
- 21:53Speaker 2: for the next four days. We didn't even explain to
- 21:55Speaker 2: him the rules though, No, that's no clue. Yeah, yeah,
- 21:58Speaker 2: I said that. I was like, I don't get scoring,
- 22:00Speaker 2: but Chuck does, so you should ask him. The scoring
- 22:02Speaker 2: is very easy. We just take the top three, like
- 22:04Speaker 2: you get to eliminate your lowest golfer.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Of the tournament something, right, if you if you have
- 22:11Speaker 3: two people who missed the cut or whatever, so one
- 22:13Speaker 3: of your well, if you have two, then you should
- 22:16Speaker 3: lose anything, right, you should. But there was something like
- 22:18Speaker 3: an additional score that gets added on.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you get plus three of the person who
- 22:24Speaker 2: makes the cuts the worst person score. So but if
- 22:27Speaker 2: you missed two or four you shouldn't win anyway. So
- 22:31Speaker 2: that's a really harsh penalty. But frankly, I think you
- 22:34Speaker 2: should be eliminated right then and there if you lose
- 22:36Speaker 2: two golfers from the cut. So yeah, so it's pretty easy.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And then you get a plus two to four winning it.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
- 22:43Speaker 2: You get minus two if you have the winner of
- 22:47Speaker 2: the tournament.
- 22:47Speaker 1: So it's not that difficult, no, I know, but I'm
- 22:49Speaker 1: done with numbers.
- 22:51Speaker 2: All right. Let's go to the ABC's of the m
- 22:53Speaker 2: So we left off at the letter T yesterday. T
- 22:56Speaker 2: is for Texas Tornado, marl lilute Texas Tornado.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I never heard that song? Did you make own me again?
- 23:06Speaker 1: It's Tracy Lawrence?
- 23:07Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Remember how many Tracy Lawrence ads we had
- 23:09Speaker 2: to listen to? It shouldn't happen again.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I can't say I do. Remember how many Tracy Lawrence.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Your ark tumbooweed in the wild West, Texas. When you're
- 23:22Speaker 2: blowing me away.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Again, I think a mantic there you okay, maybe I've
- 23:28Speaker 1: heard that part.
- 23:29Speaker 2: You're like, I'm just going to satisfy you.
- 23:31Speaker 3: So yeah, great song, and now that you've sang it
- 23:33Speaker 3: so perfectly, I know exactly what you're talking about.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I didn't really hit the right pitch.
- 23:38Speaker 1: No, you did a great job.
- 23:39Speaker 2: I think I had a chia seed stuck in like that.
- 23:42Speaker 1: That's not surprising.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Bryce Miller, our little Texas Tornado, playing in front of
- 23:48Speaker 2: his family and friends there in Texas yesterday, makes his return.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I thought he looked fantastic. I had big plans for
- 23:55Speaker 2: Bryce Miller to have a great year from beginning to
- 23:58Speaker 2: end this season, and of course he started the year
- 24:02Speaker 2: getting injured in the in spring training, and so we
- 24:05Speaker 2: finally got to see him on May thirteenth, and he
- 24:08Speaker 2: did not disappoint. I thought he looked fantastic. I think
- 24:12Speaker 2: the ninety eight ninety nine mile prior fastball slider looked great.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Location looked great. To make a command looked great. I
- 24:20Speaker 2: thought for a first day out that he was fantastic.
- 24:23Speaker 2: So I'm really excited. I know we lost the game
- 24:27Speaker 2: and probably lost the war if we're going to lose
- 24:30Speaker 2: Kyl Raley for a little while, but if we did
- 24:32Speaker 2: win a battle last night, it's that Bryce Miller made
- 24:35Speaker 2: a successful return from the injury list and I think
- 24:39Speaker 2: he's going to build off of that. Keep in mind,
- 24:40Speaker 2: and I mentioned this earlier in the show. I mean
- 24:44Speaker 2: even veterans, you get a little extra hype for games.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I mean if taking on a division rival, the team's
- 24:50Speaker 2: going has won two straight, you want to keep that going.
- 24:53Speaker 2: All your friends and family are there, You've got all
- 24:56Speaker 2: this six man rotation talk about whether you should be
- 24:59Speaker 2: moved to the Bullpenners somebody else. So you got all
- 25:01Speaker 2: of that that's poured in you finally get to join
- 25:04Speaker 2: your teammates, You're gonna have a little extra adrenaline rush
- 25:07Speaker 2: in that situation. And so he probably benefited from that
- 25:11Speaker 2: in the first couple of innings, but he also paid
- 25:14Speaker 2: for it. You always pay for it when you just
- 25:16Speaker 2: got too much adrenaline going early in a game. You
- 25:19Speaker 2: see NBA teams all the time when they start like
- 25:21Speaker 2: a house of fire and they go up twenty points
- 25:23Speaker 2: in the first quarter, they're probably gonna lose that game.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of how the Krakend would come out
- 25:27Speaker 3: and play, and then by the second period, like lat
- 25:30Speaker 3: not this season, but the season before, they were all like,
- 25:33Speaker 3: we're so tired.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Well, I think Bryce Miller had run out of gas earlier,
- 25:38Speaker 2: far earlier than what Dan realized. I thought there were
- 25:42Speaker 2: four chances to take him out of that game, that
- 25:44Speaker 2: I would have taken him out of that game, and
- 25:46Speaker 2: they just kept leaving him in so that he hit
- 25:48Speaker 2: his eighty to eighty five pitches that they'd predetermined they
- 25:52Speaker 2: were going to use him for, and they end up
- 25:55Speaker 2: getting back into the game two to two, and you
- 25:58Speaker 2: eventually lose it. But I don't think it takes away
- 26:01Speaker 2: from how great I thought Bryce Miller looked last night.
- 26:03Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, it was a bright spot for sure,
- 26:05Speaker 3: because there were some disappointing things, but he was the
- 26:07Speaker 3: bright spot.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Yous for Umpire. The uh Home played Umpire last night. Man,
- 26:14Speaker 2: he took one that I mean, you cannot underestimate what
- 26:18Speaker 2: that does. That a foul ball at that close arrange
- 26:21Speaker 2: coming off a ninety nine mile per hour pitch. I mean,
- 26:24Speaker 2: he took one. And certainly we hope he's okay. Certainly
- 26:28Speaker 2: we understand that he left the game. Certainly we understand
- 26:31Speaker 2: why there was a delay in the game. But things
- 26:34Speaker 2: went south, did they not? After that delay? I think again,
- 26:39Speaker 2: that was one of those opportunities to take Bryce out.
- 26:41Speaker 2: But it's as if nothing worked the rest of the way,
- 26:46Speaker 2: I mean, sloppy things started happening. Is like, how much
- 26:50Speaker 2: could an umpire leaving a game affect a team? And
- 26:53Speaker 2: I know that it's not directly, you know, it's not
- 26:56Speaker 2: in direct correlation with it. But it was like a
- 26:59Speaker 2: tale of two games. Before the umpire got hurt, it
- 27:02Speaker 2: felt like, oh, two to nothing, that's not that big
- 27:05Speaker 2: of a lead, but it feels like ten runs right,
- 27:08Speaker 2: And then afterwards it's as if nothing went well for
- 27:11Speaker 2: the Mariners after that delay.
- 27:13Speaker 3: I always thought it was just a rain delay that
- 27:15Speaker 3: we had a problem with, but clearly it is.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Any sort of.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Delay in a game is a struggle for us, right right, yes, yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 3: So no more delays.
- 27:23Speaker 2: I'm going to put my foot down if in the
- 27:25Speaker 2: middle of the game, you know, Josh Naylor's wife calls
- 27:31Speaker 2: him and said, I was supposed to get a package
- 27:33Speaker 2: from Amazon thirty minutes ago, but they told me it's delayed.
- 27:38Speaker 2: We'll probably start playing.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.
- 27:40Speaker 3: And also I would have to talk to missus Naylor
- 27:43Speaker 3: and say, you know what, there are some things that
- 27:44Speaker 3: aren't important to let Joshnay Josh Naylor know.
- 27:48Speaker 2: This would be one of them. Yes, finally the is
- 27:51Speaker 2: for Vasquez, and that that's when I really knew, like,
- 27:54Speaker 2: we're not winning this game because here's Christian Vasquez, whom
- 27:59Speaker 2: I be the slowest professional athlete on planet Earth. I
- 28:05Speaker 2: usually think of professional athletes of having athleticism some speed. Yeah,
- 28:10Speaker 2: he's more of a skill guy, but he has no speed.
- 28:14Speaker 2: And he came to the plate and I'm I'm thinking
- 28:18Speaker 2: to myself, like, if this is the guy. This guy
- 28:21Speaker 2: is so slow because it was bases loaded and nobody out.
- 28:24Speaker 2: This guy is so slow. If you play the infield
- 28:28Speaker 2: in no matter where he hits it, no matter to
- 28:31Speaker 2: which infielder he hits it to, you've got a chance
- 28:33Speaker 2: for a double play. And that hasn't happened with a
- 28:36Speaker 2: lot of baseball players. You can go six three six
- 28:39Speaker 2: two three double play, four to two three double play,
- 28:42Speaker 2: five two three double play. He is so slow. He
- 28:46Speaker 2: is like my aunt Shirley slow.
- 28:48Speaker 1: That's pretty slow that you are.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I'm like, just get a ground ball to any fielder
- 28:54Speaker 2: right now and we will double this guy up. And
- 28:57Speaker 2: sure enough, he hits the ground ball to JP and
- 29:00Speaker 2: col slips right in front of the play. Otherwise we
- 29:06Speaker 2: get the double play.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Which is probably where he hurt himself.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Again, it didn't help. And I'm wondering if he was
- 29:12Speaker 2: already hurt because the grimace had occurred before that, if
- 29:16Speaker 2: he didn't trust even throwing the ball down the right
- 29:20Speaker 2: field line, and then the slippage took place, and then
- 29:25Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, then he came out
- 29:26Speaker 2: of the game. Yeah, so that was I mean, it
- 29:29Speaker 2: was almost like, ah, Vasquez is at the plate, We
- 29:32Speaker 2: might be able to get out of this. You just
- 29:34Speaker 2: got to get a ground ball to one of or
- 29:35Speaker 2: four guys. You get it, and then you don't get
- 29:38Speaker 2: to execute the double play because col slips and falls.
- 29:41Speaker 2: It was just that, I'm telling you that umpire break.
- 29:44Speaker 2: But everything seemed to be going really well before that,
- 29:47Speaker 2: and nothing seemed to go well at all after that.
- 29:50Speaker 2: It ended up being a disaster like a curse.
- 29:52Speaker 3: After the break, like we all of a sudden, like
- 29:54Speaker 3: the Astros got that Etsy Witch came in and was like, Okay,
- 29:58Speaker 3: I'm going to help you now, and I'm gonna put
- 30:00Speaker 3: a curse on the marriage because this breaks too long.
- 30:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Well, anyway, it was, Uh, that was a gross loss,
- 30:05Speaker 2: that one. That one did not feel good.
- 30:07Speaker 4: All right?
- 30:08Speaker 2: The latest on the NFL schedule. It is a schedule
- 30:10Speaker 2: release day today. What do we know about the Seahawks
- 30:14Speaker 2: and what are we rooting for? We'll get into a
- 30:16Speaker 2: next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Let me tell you about some great entertainment at the
- 30:39Speaker 2: latelif Resord Casino. You can see George Thoroughgood. You know him,
- 30:43Speaker 2: bad to the bone.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Guy, even I know him. If you want to sing
- 30:46Speaker 1: that song, I know that one.
- 30:48Speaker 2: They knew right away. The Destroyers on August sixth. I
- 31:00Speaker 2: don't do any Destroyers material.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I just destroy stiff.
- 31:03Speaker 2: They're not a part of my catalog. All of this.
- 31:06Speaker 2: At the t lalup Amphitheater, Colin Ray plays the Orc
- 31:09Speaker 2: a ballroom sometimes it's a brawl room sometimes and with
- 31:13Speaker 2: Colin Ray in town, it might be both.
- 31:15Speaker 1: That's true.

- 31:20Speaker 2: it says tlalap Resort Casino. When all you want is

- 31:27Speaker 2: out at the top of the hour one more time
- 31:32Speaker 2: and maybe for the final time. There is a chance
- 31:35Speaker 2: that I will lay to bed something that I have
- 31:38Speaker 2: been doing for thirty five years in my broadcasting career.
- 31:42Speaker 2: It might be the final time, or it might unlock
- 31:46Speaker 2: a revolution.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Oh I'm nervous and excite at all of the same.
- 31:49Speaker 2: We're gonna do that at eight o'clock today, and Sup
- 31:51Speaker 2: coming up later as well, So your chance to weigh
- 31:54Speaker 2: in on stuff.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yeah, Sup?
- 31:56Speaker 2: All right, let's talk first about the NFL schedule. There
- 32:03Speaker 2: was something else that I was going to bring up
- 32:05Speaker 2: here and now I don't recall, but the NFL schedule
- 32:09Speaker 2: release day today, Softy and Faint'll take you through it
- 32:12Speaker 2: later on today. I would imagine we're gonna know everything
- 32:16Speaker 2: by then. Adam Schefter is man, he's leaking everywhere.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Oh man, get the guy a diaper.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Yeah, he really could use one. The first Thanksgiving Day
- 32:26Speaker 2: game this year will be the Bears at Detroit, so
- 32:31Speaker 2: not bad.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all right. I like that.
- 32:33Speaker 2: I mean there are times that there have been times
- 32:36Speaker 2: in our lives where the Lions a lot of times
- 32:38Speaker 2: were so bad that it was kind of hard to
- 32:40Speaker 2: find something interesting. Now they're good. Now they're very compelling.
- 32:45Speaker 2: I think they was fun to watch as any team
- 32:47Speaker 2: in the National Football League, and the Bears, who have
- 32:51Speaker 2: been known for sort of being the opposite, you know,
- 32:55Speaker 2: they just want to bloody you kind of mentality. But
- 32:59Speaker 2: now you've got those two of them more exciting teams.
- 33:01Speaker 2: So that's a heck of a Thanksgiving Day matchup. Pleas
- 33:03Speaker 2: it's a rivalry, so not too bad. But all the
- 33:06Speaker 2: pieces are coming together and by this afternoon we'll have
- 33:10Speaker 2: them all in front of us and we'll be able
- 33:12Speaker 2: to dissect it. As you and I did yesterday as
- 33:15Speaker 2: a little bit of a practice, we kind of went
- 33:19Speaker 2: through all the things that we are anticipating. We've talked
- 33:23Speaker 2: about the primetime games and how much that how many
- 33:26Speaker 2: of those will need to feel satisfied. Looks like six
- 33:29Speaker 2: will be the number for the Seahawks. We've talked about
- 33:32Speaker 2: international games. We don't have a single international game. I
- 33:37Speaker 2: love that. I know you do as well.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Yep, I really do, especially when you look at how
- 33:41Speaker 3: the forty nine ers got hosed with two of them.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Check mark that one we know the opener now and
- 33:48Speaker 2: that I don't like, will take on the New England Patriots.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Not that that's not a compelling matchup a Super Bowl rematch,
- 33:55Speaker 2: but actually, because we've already talked about the Russini Vrabel thing.
- 34:00Speaker 2: But I don't even like a Super Bowl rematch. I
- 34:04Speaker 2: don't like the last game and then of the previous
- 34:07Speaker 2: year and then you play that the first game.
- 34:09Speaker 1: No, I don't like that either. I don't think that
- 34:11Speaker 1: needs to happen.
- 34:11Speaker 2: I don't either. And certainly Seahawks Patriots is going to
- 34:14Speaker 2: be one of the better games this year on paper.
- 34:18Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to repeat what they
- 34:20Speaker 2: did last year, but I think we're going to be
- 34:22Speaker 2: really good, so I don't I mean, that will be
- 34:25Speaker 2: a compelling game, and maybe you do have it early
- 34:28Speaker 2: in the season, but I don't like it for Opening Day.
- 34:31Speaker 2: I don't like a Super Bowl rematch on Opening Day.
- 34:34Speaker 2: And then you add the Russini Vabel thing. Is just
- 34:37Speaker 2: the last topic I want to discuss during my excitement
- 34:41Speaker 2: for Opening Day. And you might say, well, then don't
- 34:43Speaker 2: discuss it. I'm not sure we'll be able to avoid it.
- 34:46Speaker 2: We don't even know what's going to change between now
- 34:49Speaker 2: and then, so I don't think there's any avoiding it.
- 34:52Speaker 2: And if the networks avoid it, then I think that
- 34:55Speaker 2: they're shocking. I think they're tucking their tails and ducking
- 34:59Speaker 2: their heads. Because this was as big an off season
- 35:02Speaker 2: story as we've had, and it might not be done
- 35:06Speaker 2: unraveling right before our eyes.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because we have to remember she's not even
- 35:10Speaker 3: spoken yet. So what happens when she comes out and.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Speaks the night before opening right.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Because she's going to do some sort of tell all
- 35:16Speaker 3: you know it, somebody's going to pay her millions of dollars.
- 35:19Speaker 3: She's going to come out on top of all this
- 35:21Speaker 3: somehow looking well at least being rich from it, which
- 35:24Speaker 3: is ridiculous that you can be a turd and then
- 35:27Speaker 3: make money off it. And so once that happens, it's
- 35:31Speaker 3: all re kindled all over again.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Well, I don't even know if my Rabel's going to.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Make it to opening day now, then there's that.
- 35:39Speaker 2: There's been an awful lot of talk about that so far,
- 35:43Speaker 2: it's not crossed that line with the Patriots or with
- 35:47Speaker 2: him personally, or with the league obviously, right, But as
- 35:52Speaker 2: I said, we don't know what we're going to hear
- 35:56Speaker 2: next about it, And so I want to spend opening
- 35:59Speaker 2: day talking about FO football.
- 36:00Speaker 1: I would like to too.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I want to just focus on football and what season
- 36:04Speaker 3: what first off, celebrating the Super Bowl champions heading into
- 36:09Speaker 3: their the season following winning the Super Bowl, so they
- 36:12Speaker 3: are defending champions. I want to talk about that and
- 36:14Speaker 3: what season they're going to have, what a great season
- 36:16Speaker 3: they had last year and looking forward to this season,
- 36:19Speaker 3: and that's it.
- 36:20Speaker 2: H Yeah, it looks like we're going to face the
- 36:22Speaker 2: Rams on Christmas Day. We know that Ashley and I
- 36:26Speaker 2: were no go on Christmas Day games. Greg Bell actually
- 36:29Speaker 2: kind of liked it. I was surprised. You know, you
- 36:31Speaker 2: can get your Christmas Day stuff done and then it's
- 36:34Speaker 2: the Christmas evening game and it is at home, so
- 36:38Speaker 2: that works well for him personally, and so we're going
- 36:41Speaker 2: to play Christmas Day evening. I don't like playing football
- 36:45Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. Period.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be a Friday night at five fifteen.
- 36:48Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of you do.
- 36:49Speaker 4: I'm so.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of you are excited. I'm sure
- 36:52Speaker 2: a lot of you are excited about going to the
- 36:53Speaker 2: game on Christmas Day as something you've never done before. Fine,
- 36:58Speaker 2: you know, personally, I don't really like it. And then
- 37:02Speaker 2: on top of it, looks like they're going to end
- 37:04Speaker 2: the season with Seahawks Rams a projection that that's going
- 37:08Speaker 2: to be a really meaningful game. At the end of
- 37:10Speaker 2: the regular season. So if you're going to play on
- 37:12Speaker 2: Christmas Day and then you're going to also play on
- 37:15Speaker 2: Week eighteen, arguably the best team on your schedule, you're
- 37:18Speaker 2: not going to face until the third to last week
- 37:22Speaker 2: of the regular season, and then you will face them
- 37:24Speaker 2: twice in three games. Do you like that?
- 37:27Speaker 3: I don't love facing them twice in three games, But
- 37:29Speaker 3: it worked out pretty well for us when we had
- 37:31Speaker 3: to do that with the forty nine ers.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Didn't we have to play ye? Yeah, back to back.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Yeah, beat the hell out of them both times.
- 37:37Speaker 3: So it gives you a little extra time, I guess
- 37:40Speaker 3: to prepare versus the back to back. But yeah, we'll
- 37:43Speaker 3: be fine. And then whenever we have to play, and
- 37:45Speaker 3: we just got to beat him, so it doesn't matter.
- 37:46Speaker 2: And then Greg I asked Greg about what is Mike
- 37:48Speaker 2: McDonald when he looks at the schedule? What's the first thing?
- 37:52Speaker 2: I mean, what would he be frustrated by? Because we're all,
- 37:55Speaker 2: I mean, all fans usually get frustrated by something something's
- 37:58Speaker 2: fair or unfair, or that doesn't work with my schedule.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Why didn't they think about that? I have a voting
- 38:04Speaker 2: expedition on that weekend. So you know, we talk shows
- 38:09Speaker 2: invariably going to howl at the moon over this, but
- 38:12Speaker 2: what might bother? Mike McDonald and Greg went straight to
- 38:15Speaker 2: the bye week? When is the bye week? And we
- 38:18Speaker 2: just did discuss this briefly yesterday. I want mine on
- 38:21Speaker 2: the second half of the season, the middle of the year.
- 38:27Speaker 2: You know, that seems to balance the scales. I don't
- 38:30Speaker 2: ever want it early, and I kind of prefer I
- 38:34Speaker 2: think it kind of gives you a boost to you
- 38:37Speaker 2: go through the toils and then when it really starts
- 38:39Speaker 2: feeling like a long season, then you get.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Your day off, I like week ten and later.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Yeah, and then that refreshes you for the doesn't have
- 38:47Speaker 2: to be like the last week of buys. But I
- 38:50Speaker 2: want it past the midway point. That's my preference, but
- 38:54Speaker 2: usually not what happens for.
- 38:55Speaker 1: The sea off, it's usually not.
- 38:57Speaker 3: I'm hopeful that because they're the defending super Bowl champions,
- 39:00Speaker 3: they get a little boost of hey, yeah, you know
- 39:02Speaker 3: you get to go second half of the season.
- 39:04Speaker 1: That would be nice. As I said, week ten or later,
- 39:06Speaker 1: and I'm not going to complain, all.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Right, coming up next, Maybe it's the final time that
- 39:10Speaker 2: I ever discussed this that's going to be left up
- 39:12Speaker 2: to you, the listeners, and the YouTube viewers. Sports Radio
