- 0:00Speaker 1: It's time for Checking Buck's weekly visit with former NFL
- 0:04Speaker 1: official Gene Sterotor, brought to you by Bmwcattle. Looking for
- 0:08Speaker 1: a new or used BMW or something else even, come

- 0:16Speaker 1: and I ninety near the stadiums now with Gene Sterotor,
- 0:20Speaker 1: here's Checking Bump.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Oh.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Yes, every Tuesday we get a chance to chat with
- 0:26Speaker 3: CBS rules analysts and the greatest NFL official of all time,
- 0:29Speaker 3: Jeane Sterotor, but also an outstanding college basketball official as well.
- 0:34Speaker 3: And I was wondering, like we started the show today,
- 0:37Speaker 3: Gene talking about how every sport in the world was
- 0:41Speaker 3: played yesterday, it felt like every single one of them.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Have you ever officiated anything other than college basketball and
- 0:49Speaker 3: the National Football League? Have you done highlie? Have you
- 0:52Speaker 3: done bowling? I mean, what other sports? Are you an expert.
- 0:56Speaker 2: At the bowling thing?
- 0:59Speaker 4: Intrigue a little bit.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I think I might look into the bowling thing.
- 1:03Speaker 5: I always wanted to.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Be the net referee too in volleyball. I mean standing
- 1:08Speaker 2: on the step ladder there on your little platform and
- 1:12Speaker 2: just making the point left or right. I thought that
- 1:14Speaker 2: was kind of a neat job. But you know, no,
- 1:17Speaker 2: I stayed in my lane and just messed up two
- 1:19Speaker 2: sports in America.
- 1:20Speaker 4: You know, I just stayed with football.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I would love for a challenge flag to be thrown
- 1:26Speaker 3: by some bowler, like because you said he stepped his
- 1:29Speaker 3: foot over the line. Red challenge flag comes out, he
- 1:34Speaker 3: throws his nachos in the air. That's his challenge flag.
- 1:38Speaker 3: That'd be great. Well, good to have you. Thanks for
- 1:42Speaker 3: being with us again. We got a lot of ground
- 1:44Speaker 3: to cover. So I want to start with college football
- 1:46Speaker 3: with you. Because there was a play in the Ohio
- 1:49Speaker 3: State Penn State game on Saturday where and I don't
- 1:52Speaker 3: even like the targeting rules that they use in college football.
- 1:56Speaker 3: I don't like that rule where it hangs over until
- 1:59Speaker 3: the next day and the player has to walk off
- 2:01Speaker 3: the field in shame, and usually it's pretty close to
- 2:06Speaker 3: being a solid hit, and yet we treat him like
- 2:08Speaker 3: he's a felon as he goes off the field. I
- 2:11Speaker 3: don't like it. But if that hit by Caleb Downs
- 2:15Speaker 3: isn't targeting, then I guess I don't understand the rules
- 2:19Speaker 3: of college football. And so they did assess a fifteen
- 2:22Speaker 3: yard penalty for roughing, but he looked like he launched
- 2:26Speaker 3: his face into the other guy's face. Even Caleb downs
- 2:29Speaker 3: Gene thought that his goose was cooked and that he
- 2:32Speaker 3: was gonna miss the rest of the game. In the
- 2:34Speaker 3: half of the second game, so what did you see?
- 2:37Speaker 3: How on earth could the officials have overturned their initial
- 2:40Speaker 3: feeling that that was targeting?
- 2:43Speaker 2: You know what, for me, those players are almost impossible
- 2:47Speaker 2: to defend, right, I mean, you do have to look
- 2:49Speaker 2: at the scenario. And I listen, I don't disagree with
- 2:52Speaker 2: you at all on the impunitive level of.
- 2:55Speaker 4: You know, of targeting.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I think we all kind of know, those of us
- 3:01Speaker 2: that love to watch the.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Game and have watched it for a long time.
- 3:04Speaker 2: When there's an action that looks like, you know what, No,
- 3:07Speaker 2: he needs to go, he needs to be ejected, you
- 3:10Speaker 2: know what I mean. And then and then there's that
- 3:12Speaker 2: other window where I understand why you want to implement
- 3:16Speaker 2: these rules because we do want to do you know,
- 3:19Speaker 2: we want to get the player to be as safe
- 3:22Speaker 2: as he can. And many times those hits are more
- 3:24Speaker 2: dangerous to the player than the recipient of that, you know,
- 3:26Speaker 2: the person that's giving it. So we're going to increase
- 3:30Speaker 2: the level of punishment to deter the action as they
- 3:33Speaker 2: evolve into their mechanics. But I still think there are
- 3:37Speaker 2: good football plays where look, if you want that to
- 3:39Speaker 2: be a file, that's fine, make it fifteen in an
- 3:41Speaker 2: automatic first down. But the ejection from the third quarter
- 3:45Speaker 2: into the first and second quarters of the next game
- 3:47Speaker 2: I think is too much for his With that said,
- 3:51Speaker 2: I think the behavior that we saw on the hit
- 3:54Speaker 2: you're referring to, those are ejectable offenses. Those are plays
- 3:58Speaker 2: we don't want to see in.
- 3:59Speaker 4: The game for anybody at any time, and.
- 4:02Speaker 2: To me, that meets the letter of the law. I
- 4:04Speaker 2: think what we're also doing in replay is we are
- 4:07Speaker 2: maybe micro analyzing, now, did the shoulder just touched the
- 4:14Speaker 2: shoulder pad initially and then the next contact was to
- 4:19Speaker 2: the head and neck area. We can see that by
- 4:20Speaker 2: three camera frames.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Sometimes I think what.
- 4:23Speaker 2: We're doing in a lot of these sports, now we're
- 4:25Speaker 2: slowing this down and looking for these fine threads of detail,
- 4:29Speaker 2: rather than let the play run twenty percent slower than
- 4:32Speaker 2: what happened in real time and then make your assessment
- 4:36Speaker 2: there and leave it there, because at twenty percent slower,
- 4:40Speaker 2: the officials could officiate that play at twenty percent slower
- 4:45Speaker 2: and be as consistent I think, on the field in
- 4:47Speaker 2: more cases than what we watch now plays that they're
- 4:51Speaker 2: ruling as catches now with a third but just getting down,
- 4:55Speaker 2: these plays are happening within a fraction of a second
- 4:58Speaker 2: and your human brains going to dissect that play to
- 5:01Speaker 2: be able to work that play live correctly, and that's
- 5:05Speaker 2: not a good place to go. I think that's where
- 5:07Speaker 2: we're heading in some ways with this technological advancement.
- 5:11Speaker 6: And I think that's the only way I could say they.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Didn't keep that targeting on there.
- 5:16Speaker 6: He said the right words to the indicators, he launched,
- 5:19Speaker 6: he leaned his head toward the player's head in that area.
- 5:22Speaker 6: It's forcible contact.
- 5:24Speaker 2: And quite frankly, in real time and slow motion, this
- 5:28Speaker 2: is not a play we want in the game.
- 5:29Speaker 4: So you're gone.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I mean that's to me, those are the plays that
- 5:33Speaker 2: set that that sets the precedent.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah. Great.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Unfortunately, it just seems like really a lot of times
- 5:39Speaker 7: with these it's like the look of the play is
- 5:42Speaker 7: what ends up calling getting the flag called, and then
- 5:45Speaker 7: they have to dissect it down to figure out is
- 5:47Speaker 7: it did it just look bad but it was legal
- 5:49Speaker 7: or in this case, they look at it and say, well,
- 5:52Speaker 7: it looks bad. It really was bad, but we still
- 5:54Speaker 7: picked up the flag. I don't understand that, but I
- 5:57Speaker 7: guess yeah. There's a lot of minutia kind of in
- 6:00Speaker 7: that whole thing, Geene. Moving into the the NFL, there
- 6:04Speaker 7: was a game I think that you were working, the
- 6:06Speaker 7: Cincinnati Chicago game where I've never seen this before. There
- 6:10Speaker 7: was a play basically a fumble near the goal line.
- 6:15Speaker 7: They ended up calling them down. They end up calling
- 6:19Speaker 7: the Bears guy the Bears runner down. Zach Taylor challenges
- 6:22Speaker 7: a play hoping that they're going to call it a
- 6:24Speaker 7: fumble out of the end zone, and instead it totally
- 6:27Speaker 7: backfires on him and ends up they end up turning
- 6:29Speaker 7: into a touchdown.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Is that a new one for you?
- 6:32Speaker 7: And is that the way it's supposed to be that
- 6:33Speaker 7: if you throw a challenge, we might come back and say, yeah,
- 6:37Speaker 7: it's worse than what we had called on the field.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Yeah. It was.
- 6:42Speaker 2: The irony of that was you're looking for one element
- 6:45Speaker 2: and all, my goodness, after replay, it's much worse than
- 6:48Speaker 2: where if we would have just left it alone. Those
- 6:50Speaker 2: don't happen too frequently, Buck, And that was that was
- 6:54Speaker 2: a prime example that the Cincinnati coach felt like the
- 6:57Speaker 2: ball was loose prior to breaking the.
- 6:59Speaker 6: Plane of the goal line, and now we're going to
- 7:01Speaker 6: have a.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Fumble through the end zone and out of the end
- 7:03Speaker 2: zone for a touchback. And then we go back and
- 7:07Speaker 2: we look at the play and realize, you know what,
- 7:09Speaker 2: he really didn't.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Lose control, and I think the official on the field
- 7:12Speaker 6: ruled that the ball was out at the one yard line.
- 7:15Speaker 2: So we went from the one yard line on in
- 7:18Speaker 2: real time ruling to the coach thinking that it was
- 7:21Speaker 2: a fumble through the end zone to oh my goodness,
- 7:24Speaker 2: it's not only out, not out at the one. He
- 7:26Speaker 2: still is possessing this football as it's breaking the plane.
- 7:30Speaker 4: So the challenge ended up and benefited the opponent to
- 7:33Speaker 4: a word to score.
- 7:34Speaker 6: Rather than have them have first in goal at the one.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Yeah. I had a lot of those experiences, like in
- 7:39Speaker 3: my dating life, Gene, where you're like that, I don't
- 7:42Speaker 3: know if I don't know if I think those shoes
- 7:44Speaker 3: go with that dress, and and then well I don't
- 7:47Speaker 3: know if I want to be with you right now. Yeah.
- 7:52Speaker 3: A few times.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Artist questioned in America, Chuck when she comes down the
- 7:57Speaker 6: stairs and.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Says, how do I look.
- 8:00Speaker 2: The answer there is I'm not really sure if I
- 8:03Speaker 2: can give you a great answer.
- 8:05Speaker 4: I do say, because it's honest, you look more.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Beautiful today than you did the.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Day I met you.
- 8:10Speaker 2: But sometimes that doesn't work all the time. You know,
- 8:13Speaker 2: I get a little nervous when I get.
- 8:15Speaker 4: The same look.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Does this go with that?
- 8:17Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not that guy. I'm just thought that
- 8:19Speaker 4: guy looks Do you like it?
- 8:20Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 8:21Speaker 2: It works for me, really well, looks great.
- 8:23Speaker 3: I was Gene just quickly. I was once at a
- 8:26Speaker 3: jamba juice and a single guy at the time, and uh,
- 8:30Speaker 3: and so I see this really pretty girl come into
- 8:32Speaker 3: the jamba juice.
- 8:33Speaker 4: Uh.
- 8:33Speaker 3: And I walked up to her and these are the
- 8:36Speaker 3: words that came out of my mouth, Jean, because I
- 8:38Speaker 3: got to her and she had this amazing perfume on.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And this is how what came out of my mouth
- 8:43Speaker 3: first time I met her. You smell even better than
- 8:46Speaker 3: you look.
- 8:50Speaker 5: That's a.
- 8:55Speaker 8: I don't know she is wife or not now, I
- 8:58Speaker 8: mean no, she had this like smile started to form
- 9:03Speaker 8: on her face, and then she thought about what I said.
- 9:06Speaker 3: I was like, that's actually kind of insulting, and then
- 9:09Speaker 3: she turned her back on me and ordered a coldbuster
- 9:12Speaker 3: and that was it. Jean's territorre is with this. CBS
- 9:17Speaker 3: rules analysts and former NFL official, I don't even think
- 9:20Speaker 3: I said even I think you smell better than you look.
- 9:22Speaker 3: I think that's how it came out. How good? All right?
- 9:26Speaker 3: There were a couple of roughing plays I'll take I'll
- 9:28Speaker 3: take this one in the Detroit Minnesota game. Man, I
- 9:33Speaker 3: get the rule Gene that we don't want three hundred
- 9:36Speaker 3: and fifty pound defensive tackles nose guards landing on our
- 9:40Speaker 3: precious quarterbacks. But a guy about the same size, Jack Campbell,
- 9:44Speaker 3: like a two hundred and thirty pound linebacker, landed on
- 9:47Speaker 3: a two hundred and ten pound quarterback and you could
- 9:50Speaker 3: see that he was trying to move his shoulders so
- 9:53Speaker 3: that he didn't land on him. And he got called
- 9:56Speaker 3: with roughing anyway, and it was a huge call in
- 9:59Speaker 3: that game. I mean, I don't know if I love
- 10:02Speaker 3: the landing call, and the National Football League I certainly
- 10:07Speaker 3: didn't like that one. Was that justifiable? Should they have
- 10:10Speaker 3: shown thrown a flag on Jack Campbell in that case?
- 10:13Speaker 2: I think it's one of the hardest plays the referee
- 10:16Speaker 2: in the game, chuck body weight.
- 10:20Speaker 5: You know what is body weight?
- 10:22Speaker 4: What isn't body weight? What's physics? What is in physics?
- 10:27Speaker 2: Look, Ben dright, there's a name from the past and
- 10:29Speaker 2: the referee annals. We always called it the givening the
- 10:33Speaker 2: business play, right, That's how Ben Dryce announced it when
- 10:36Speaker 2: he felt like it was roughing, you know, the players
- 10:39Speaker 2: giving him the business. I think that you've got to
- 10:43Speaker 2: allow that play. Truthfully, I kind of wish that that
- 10:47Speaker 2: play wasn't being supported as like a correct call when
- 10:51Speaker 2: it's made and I felt the same thing you did. Yes,
- 10:54Speaker 2: the player gets a great hit, that's football.
- 10:57Speaker 6: Yes, he also attempts.
- 10:59Speaker 2: To get one hand that might have been on the
- 11:01Speaker 2: other side of where the referee was on the ground
- 11:03Speaker 2: so that he didn't give him the business and drive
- 11:06Speaker 2: him through the term.
- 11:07Speaker 4: But yet this.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Game, the game we love, has those hits. If it's
- 11:14Speaker 2: not a fowl that looks like you know what. I know,
- 11:18Speaker 2: you hit him blindside and he's gonna tip and you're
- 11:20Speaker 2: gonna land, but you drove him a piece of that too.
- 11:23Speaker 2: At the end, I felt that on the field that's
- 11:26Speaker 2: a foul. These others aren't and this is a really
- 11:30Speaker 2: hard play to officiate, and the league has been very,
- 11:33Speaker 2: very strong to get as much of this out of
- 11:37Speaker 2: the game as they can. So I think we do
- 11:39Speaker 2: lean at times with body weight to calling penalties when
- 11:44Speaker 2: quite frankly, I think they're just good football hits and
- 11:48Speaker 2: the players have adjusted in so many cases. You can
- 11:52Speaker 2: see in real time, which amazes me, these massive men
- 11:57Speaker 2: spinning their bodies right before the body land on the ground,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and these are fractions of a second decisions, or them
- 12:04Speaker 2: going to the ground in this quick moment and putting
- 12:07Speaker 2: their hands on the side to let the official note, look,
- 12:10Speaker 2: I am trying to brace.
- 12:11Speaker 6: Myself before I go and go onto the body.
- 12:15Speaker 2: But I think their plays, you know, they do lean
- 12:18Speaker 2: to safety on the plays, and when you see this situation,
- 12:21Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 12:22Speaker 4: I think this is a football play.
- 12:24Speaker 6: And not a body weight foul.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But really really hard to referee in real time.
- 12:29Speaker 4: And replay can't get.
- 12:30Speaker 6: Involved in that decision.
- 12:33Speaker 3: I guess there's no way to put a weight limit
- 12:35Speaker 3: on that call, is there. Like you have to be
- 12:37Speaker 3: this big to ride this ride, Like you can't be
- 12:39Speaker 3: this big to land on a quarterback.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you're this tall you're underneath the kangaroos.
- 12:46Speaker 4: No, so you you can't get on, but.
- 12:49Speaker 6: You're all so a little heavy.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Too, so yeah, you know, and then you know the
- 12:53Speaker 2: other side was really difficult is when you did have.
- 12:56Speaker 6: A very agile, in smaller quarterback.
- 12:59Speaker 2: And and then you just have a six foot eight,
- 13:02Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty pound lineman coming from the blind
- 13:06Speaker 2: side and just kind of, you know, eclipses him. You
- 13:09Speaker 2: just you lose the player. Yeah, that is what's going
- 13:12Speaker 2: to happen. So I think that that is to me,
- 13:15Speaker 2: I thought that was the hardest play to officiate consistently
- 13:19Speaker 2: in the league.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, Geane.
- 13:21Speaker 7: There was one in the Houston Texans Denver Broncos game.
- 13:24Speaker 7: It was the unfortunate hit that knock c J. Stroud
- 13:27Speaker 7: out of the game and cousin be concussed, not the hit,
- 13:30Speaker 7: but they hit and then that forced his head to
- 13:33Speaker 7: hit the ground. And you know, we see that just
- 13:35Speaker 7: about every single week. A lot of people were up
- 13:37Speaker 7: in arms because he basically hit him while he was sliding.
- 13:40Speaker 7: Watching it and maybe it's through my Bronco colored glasses,
- 13:43Speaker 7: it was like it was kind of a late slide.
- 13:46Speaker 7: He didn't I don't think he recognized that the defender
- 13:48Speaker 7: was coming back from the backside loop, but it was
- 13:51Speaker 7: a little bit of a you didn't really have your
- 13:53Speaker 7: head on a swell where you weren't really aware of
- 13:54Speaker 7: your surroundings. Anyways, it was he did hit him low.
- 13:57Speaker 7: You could tell he was trying to not hit him
- 13:59Speaker 7: in the head. The announcers were saying, well, at that point,
- 14:02Speaker 7: last second, you just have to make the adjustment and
- 14:04Speaker 7: go over him, which to me is like boy, but
- 14:07Speaker 7: if you miss now you literally hit him right in
- 14:10Speaker 7: the head and it's going to be even worse. And
- 14:12Speaker 7: so I don't know how are you supposed to officiate that,
- 14:14Speaker 7: because that's another one where there's gray area.
- 14:16Speaker 3: It's got to be difficult to do.
- 14:18Speaker 2: One percent Bucky, And I think this is one of
- 14:21Speaker 2: those cases where, listen, the slide protection really really works
- 14:25Speaker 2: well when quarterbacks break out of the pocket or a
- 14:29Speaker 2: runner does and he's out in space and now he
- 14:32Speaker 2: feels on coming opponents closing in and he makes the
- 14:36Speaker 2: slide to avoid this hit and gives up a few
- 14:39Speaker 2: yards doing so, and that looks really good, clean, the
- 14:43Speaker 2: right call for the game. Now you have a play
- 14:46Speaker 2: where a quarterback scrambles out of the pocket and he
- 14:48Speaker 2: gets between kind of the tackles. There are a lot
- 14:51Speaker 2: of opponents within two or three steps of him. And
- 14:54Speaker 2: then in that last moment, as you said, he.
- 14:57Speaker 6: Decides, I'm going to slide in this area.
- 15:00Speaker 2: The proximities of bodies moving, the time that the defender
- 15:04Speaker 2: commits to making that hit maybe five feet away from him,
- 15:09Speaker 2: he's already committing to tackling you, and you just begin
- 15:14Speaker 2: to slide, and now the hit occurs. That's where I
- 15:19Speaker 2: think the rule itself, which I think is intended for
- 15:22Speaker 2: the out in space slide, now has to become a
- 15:25Speaker 2: different type of an application because you're sliding within close
- 15:29Speaker 2: proximity of people that you really can't put them on
- 15:34Speaker 2: that same level. Now, to the NFL's defense on that,
- 15:37Speaker 2: because that foul was that the initial contact was to
- 15:41Speaker 2: his head and replay is allowed to review only that
- 15:45Speaker 2: element of that play, you announced that this is unnecessary
- 15:49Speaker 2: roughness contact to a sliding quarterbacks header neck area. Now
- 15:53Speaker 2: you have a black and white piece that the replay
- 15:55Speaker 2: officials can look at. It is reviewable, and now we
- 15:58Speaker 2: do see in that play kind of like the targeting
- 16:00Speaker 2: in a maybe more positive way from the first play. Listen,
- 16:03Speaker 2: you started the slide rather late, and he does blast
- 16:06Speaker 2: you there in the chest, right in the shoulder and unfortunately,
- 16:10Speaker 2: as you also said, but the bigger damage and many
- 16:13Speaker 2: many of these hits, is the quarterback or the player
- 16:16Speaker 2: is head hitting that hard turf afterward.
- 16:19Speaker 6: But he didn't hit it in the head and neck area.
- 16:22Speaker 2: We can remove that penalty if we can look at
- 16:24Speaker 2: that element of that play, and that's why you called it.
- 16:27Speaker 2: But it's a quarterback that's sliding within these close windows.
- 16:31Speaker 2: I think that needs to be discussed a little further
- 16:34Speaker 2: down the line now about how much protection you can
- 16:36Speaker 2: afford them.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Gene Sterotor is with us. And then as we close
- 16:40Speaker 3: out this week's edition of our genes Sterotor Conversation, Halloween
- 16:45Speaker 3: just ended. Part of Halloween fifty percent, if I can
- 16:49Speaker 3: do the math, is trick. I know fifty percent is treated,
- 16:53Speaker 3: but fifty percent is trick. So what kind of tricks
- 16:57Speaker 3: do you throw the flag on at your house for
- 17:00Speaker 3: unsportsmanlike Halloween behavior? I mean is like toilet paper ring
- 17:04Speaker 3: or you know, running up and knocking on the door
- 17:07Speaker 3: and running away? What uh, what's acceptable? Give me an
- 17:10Speaker 3: example of something acceptable as a trick and something that
- 17:13Speaker 3: unacceptable that you're gonna have to throw the flag on.
- 17:17Speaker 2: The times have changed so much chucky from my childhood
- 17:20Speaker 2: decades and decades ago, where you know, the.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Soaping of windows or that.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I don't want to give any young kids any new
- 17:27Speaker 2: in the creative ideas, but you know the egging.
- 17:29Speaker 3: We used to weather an agging and then you.
- 17:31Speaker 6: Uh, it's if it was a misty, misty October evening.
- 17:37Speaker 2: And uh and it was a little damp man that
- 17:39Speaker 2: toilet paper on the pines out in the front of
- 17:42Speaker 2: the house that would slick there until Easter. You know, uh,
- 17:46Speaker 2: you know kind of you know, honest with you. You look,
- 17:49Speaker 2: My brother and I own a you know, a sanitary
- 17:51Speaker 2: janitorium paper supply business, so I always promote the toilet
- 17:56Speaker 2: papering because it's good for business, you.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Know, I mean, tweeper is.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Used for more than one reason, ladies and gentlemen, you know. So,
- 18:04Speaker 2: and we do sell the jumbo roll, which is a
- 18:06Speaker 2: thousand eleven air feet.
- 18:07Speaker 5: You get a little more bangs for air fuck on
- 18:09Speaker 5: that night.
- 18:10Speaker 2: So I think I'd lean to that trick if I
- 18:13Speaker 2: had to lean to any one trick.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Okay, we would be that one one. That's what's acceptable. Okay,
- 18:18Speaker 3: all right, I'll remember that next year when I toilet
- 18:21Speaker 3: painted a crap out of your house. All right, Jane,

- 20:25Speaker 3: in a while, just have to have them.
- 20:27Speaker 5: I remember the first time I had. My mom splurged
- 20:31Speaker 5: on the twenty piece and I just felt I have
- 20:33Speaker 5: a golden ticks, like, oh my goodness. I was so happy,
- 20:37Speaker 5: and then I pound out it made a fifty piece
- 20:40Speaker 5: in one one Sunday morning, after some college debauchery, I
- 20:46Speaker 5: ordered a fifty piece chicken McNugget and my life was
- 20:50Speaker 5: changed forever that faithful day.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Yes that was your cholesterol.
- 20:54Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, still still recovering from that one fifty piece.
- 21:02Speaker 3: That's that's a meal right there. Everett Fitzi is with
- 21:06Speaker 3: us every week right here on Chuck and Buck. Last
- 21:08Speaker 3: night was on the call right here on the flagship
- 21:11Speaker 3: for the Seattle cracking of another victory for Lane Lambert
- 21:14Speaker 3: and the squad three to one, they take out the
- 21:17Speaker 3: Chicago Blackhawks. What is the one thing that you've noticed
- 21:22Speaker 3: during this good start to this Lane Lambert era that
- 21:25Speaker 3: just simply jumps off the page to you as being
- 21:28Speaker 3: different than any other team that you've called play by
- 21:31Speaker 3: play for here in Seattle.
- 21:34Speaker 5: I mean, I think Joey Decord had a really good
- 21:38Speaker 5: comment last night, and it's the fact that this team
- 21:42Speaker 5: believes in what they're doing. They believe in each other,
- 21:44Speaker 5: they believe in the system. They knew they were going
- 21:47Speaker 5: to get off to a good start. They're comfortable in
- 21:50Speaker 5: these tight games. You know, a lot of times you'll
- 21:52Speaker 5: see these teams up to one up three to two,
- 21:57Speaker 5: you know, with with five to go, when they start
- 21:59Speaker 5: to panic and they start to do too much. And
- 22:02Speaker 5: the one thing that I've noticed about this team is
- 22:04Speaker 5: just the calming presence that you see. And I'll go
- 22:07Speaker 5: back to the Winnipeg game about two weeks ago now,
- 22:11Speaker 5: when they shut Winnipeg out on their home eyes two
- 22:14Speaker 5: nothing or three nothing with two empty net goals. It
- 22:17Speaker 5: was one nothing with you know, three minutes left, and
- 22:21Speaker 5: I didn't feel up in the broadcast booth panicky. I
- 22:26Speaker 5: didn't feel like, man, they gotta get another one here.
- 22:29Speaker 5: It was. It was so cerebral and they did such
- 22:33Speaker 5: a good job of shutting down that Winnipeg attack. And
- 22:37Speaker 5: I felt last night again you saw it. Counta Reguard
- 22:41Speaker 5: and Andre Brekowski. They were able to get the one,
- 22:44Speaker 5: but even when the Kraken were up two to one,
- 22:46Speaker 5: you just knew they were going to get that goal. Back.
- 22:50Speaker 5: The way that this team played, I thought the last
- 22:52Speaker 5: couple of games weren't their best starts, but last night
- 22:56Speaker 5: they got back to what has made them successful, and
- 22:59Speaker 5: that was a good sixty minute defensive, uh disciplined effort,
- 23:05Speaker 5: and they were rewarded for that.
- 23:08Speaker 7: FITZI I mean, for years we've been talking about like
- 23:10Speaker 7: kind of the one of the strengths of the team
- 23:13Speaker 7: is the strength possibly of how their third and fourth
- 23:16Speaker 7: lines match up against others, even if their first couple
- 23:18Speaker 7: of lines are not.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Are you seeing any.
- 23:21Speaker 7: Sort of trend towards the first couple of lines being
- 23:24Speaker 7: able to match up against like what you said the
- 23:26Speaker 7: you know yesterday, the the Connor Badar and Andy Brikowski.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Uh.
- 23:31Speaker 7: You know that's a line that typically is one that
- 23:33Speaker 7: could do damage against this type of a team. Are
- 23:36Speaker 7: you seeing the playing field level a little bit when
- 23:38Speaker 7: you're talking about the first couple of lines.
- 23:41Speaker 5: I think I am, and and you know when when
- 23:43Speaker 5: you're when you talk about those third and fourth lines
- 23:45Speaker 5: in particular. We talked to Tyke Rti last night after
- 23:48Speaker 5: the game and and Al essentially asked him that question,
- 23:52Speaker 5: you know, how do you like your line matchups? What
- 23:55Speaker 5: what's your lines philosophy? And and they that line in
- 23:59Speaker 5: Particuler wants to be the hardest line on this team
- 24:04Speaker 5: to play against. And I think Tye and Winterton and
- 24:07Speaker 5: and Ben Myers then last night Bertie Katton, they've relished
- 24:13Speaker 5: that role of being a shutdown, grinding line I think
- 24:18Speaker 5: offensively for the personnel that you have on your third
- 24:21Speaker 5: line last night with Mason Mark Smith, Shade Wright and
- 24:25Speaker 5: Yonnie Newman, I do think there's another level offensively for
- 24:29Speaker 5: them to get to, especially you know the shot that
- 24:33Speaker 5: Newman has. March Smith, you know what we've seen from
- 24:36Speaker 5: him throughout his career. He's got five points this season
- 24:39Speaker 5: for Seattle. But it always takes some time for for
- 24:42Speaker 5: new players to get ingrained into the system. But you're
- 24:45Speaker 5: going on game thirteen now, so I think I think
- 24:48Speaker 5: we're gonna see Marsman. I hope we're gonna see Marshman
- 24:50Speaker 5: break out here over the next couple of nights. But
- 24:53Speaker 5: I think I think that those bottom two lines, the
- 24:56Speaker 5: fourth line in particular, they have really relished the opportunity
- 25:01Speaker 5: of shutting down team's top lines and really frustrating some
- 25:06Speaker 5: of the better players to crack and see on a
- 25:08Speaker 5: nightley basis.
- 25:09Speaker 3: The voice is with us ever fits you every week
- 25:11Speaker 3: at this time to talk to some cracking hockey winners.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Last night three to one, six, two and four record
- 25:16Speaker 3: on the season. You got Capo Caaco back, which is
- 25:19Speaker 3: great for a play by play man because it's such
- 25:21Speaker 3: a fun name. To pronounce, and Berkeley Catton is kind
- 25:26Speaker 3: of that way as well. So what have you made
- 25:28Speaker 3: of the teenage mutant ninja winger so far in his
- 25:34Speaker 3: in his time as a Seattle Cracking.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think I think number one, he
- 25:39Speaker 5: has proven that he can play at this level and
- 25:44Speaker 5: it almost reminds me a little bit of of Shane
- 25:47Speaker 5: Wright last year, his first full season in the NHL.
- 25:52Speaker 5: Every shift, every game, he did something better, he did
- 25:57Speaker 5: something well. He took a incremental steps almost every night
- 26:03Speaker 5: to improve his game, and I think I'm seeing that.
- 26:07Speaker 5: I feel like I'm seeing that with Berkeley Catton this
- 26:09Speaker 5: year as well. Every night, whether it's whether it's a
- 26:13Speaker 5: zone entry, whether it's a good play with the puck,
- 26:16Speaker 5: whether it's a nice pass, whether it's going to the net.
- 26:18Speaker 5: Last night, I had to apologize to Mama and Papa
- 26:22Speaker 5: Catton because I thought that Alexiak goal, Berkeley Catton went
- 26:27Speaker 5: to the front of the net and on the first
- 26:29Speaker 5: replay that we saw it looked like he got a
- 26:32Speaker 5: piece of it. So he went to the net last night.
- 26:36Speaker 5: I think he's showing every single night that he can
- 26:40Speaker 5: play in this league, that he is an NHL player.
- 26:43Speaker 5: Now you're trying to get him to a point where
- 26:45Speaker 5: he can be a top line NHL player, which is
- 26:48Speaker 5: where they expect him to be, and that takes time.
- 26:51Speaker 5: But I think that he's answered the call every time
- 26:54Speaker 5: that has offered him. I think when you have young players,
- 26:57Speaker 5: you need to give them regular ships. I think Lane
- 26:59Speaker 5: Lambert is showing the trust in Berkeley. It's starting to grow,
- 27:06Speaker 5: but also they're gonna be those growing pains. He's nineteen
- 27:09Speaker 5: years old, so you know you're not expecting a perfect
- 27:13Speaker 5: hockey player at nineteen years old. But I do think
- 27:16Speaker 5: that every game he's getting better. He belongs in this league.
- 27:20Speaker 5: But now he needs to work on his permanent placement
- 27:24Speaker 5: within the lineup, and everybody he included, expects him to
- 27:28Speaker 5: be a top line winger. I think he works really
- 27:32Speaker 5: well with Everly and Beineers on that top line. Is
- 27:36Speaker 5: that his everyday spot? Should that be his everyday spot
- 27:40Speaker 5: right now today? Probably not. But four months from now,
- 27:44Speaker 5: the start of next season, when he's got a full
- 27:46Speaker 5: year under his belt, we still don't know what's gonna
- 27:49Speaker 5: happen with him. After his nine game you know, tryout
- 27:53Speaker 5: essentially is up, and he's got to make a decision.
- 27:56Speaker 5: We've got to make a decision. It's an organization. Do
- 27:58Speaker 5: you keep them, do you send them back? Whatever they came? Maybe,
- 28:00Speaker 5: but I do think that he's trending in the right direction.
- 28:03Speaker 5: In every game, he takes another step toward being that
- 28:07Speaker 5: top line player that we all expect him to be.
- 28:10Speaker 7: Fit to any word on Jared McCann's health.
- 28:13Speaker 5: Day to day to quote la, uh yeah, we we
- 28:18Speaker 5: still we mum's the word. We haven't gotten a lot
- 28:23Speaker 5: of information on Jared McCann. I know last week, Uh,
- 28:28Speaker 5: he did skate after practice, went through a few drills.
- 28:32Speaker 5: He did push himself kind of hard and it appeared
- 28:36Speaker 5: like he was maybe trying to test something out. But
- 28:40Speaker 5: but no, we we've gotten no word maybe this week
- 28:42Speaker 5: and on the Crack and they've got one more game
- 28:44Speaker 5: on this home stand and they head out to Dallas
- 28:47Speaker 5: and Saint Louis. Saint Louis and Dallas Saturday Sunday, So
- 28:50Speaker 5: maybe the Cracking can get an update on him when.
- 28:53Speaker 6: Before they leave.
- 28:54Speaker 5: But as of right now, uh, it's it's kind of
- 28:56Speaker 5: the hurry up and wait game when it comes to
- 28:59Speaker 5: news on.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Jared mcad I got a minute left here and So
- 29:03Speaker 3: just to ask you, because the team is already I
- 29:05Speaker 3: mean it's early in the season, they've already played six
- 29:07Speaker 3: overtime games and they've lost four of them. So do
- 29:10Speaker 3: you look at this Do you think Lane Lambert looks
- 29:12Speaker 3: at this as man, we are hanging with everybody in
- 29:14Speaker 3: the NHL, I mean, it's every night is a close knight.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Or do you think he's fuming that, Hey, we got
- 29:19Speaker 3: to figure out three on three hockey. We need to
- 29:21Speaker 3: get two points, not one point when we send this
- 29:24Speaker 3: thing to overtime.
- 29:26Speaker 5: So again, I asked him a very similar question the
- 29:29Speaker 5: other day. Yeah, and I wouldn't say fuming is the word.
- 29:35Speaker 5: I don't even know if I would go so far
- 29:37Speaker 5: as to say mildly frustrated. But there is a little
- 29:41Speaker 5: bit of you know, we're banking important points that shim
- 29:46Speaker 5: be are going to be important later in the season.
- 29:49Speaker 5: Right when you're going in to Game seventy five, when
- 29:53Speaker 5: you're going into the last week or two of the
- 29:55Speaker 5: season and you're still in that playoff race, You're gonna
- 29:58Speaker 5: look back at all these overtime games. Man, thank goodness
- 30:01Speaker 5: we have these points. However, on the other side of that,
- 30:04Speaker 5: you would like to find an extra point here or there.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Because it's a double ed sword, you can either miss
- 30:11Speaker 5: the playoffs by two points or three points, or you
- 30:15Speaker 5: can get into the playoffs by two or three points,
- 30:18Speaker 5: and you're gonna be like, man, if only we had
- 30:20Speaker 5: held on to that third period lead and didn't give
- 30:23Speaker 5: away a point in overtime, or man, thank god we
- 30:26Speaker 5: sal there's a point in overtime. So I think you
- 30:30Speaker 5: can play both sides of that coin. I wouldn't say
- 30:33Speaker 5: he's frustrated or mad yet, but I do think that
- 30:36Speaker 5: as this year goes on, right, once you get past
- 30:39Speaker 5: December first, once you get into January, you're going to
- 30:42Speaker 5: want to start to get full two points, especially against
- 30:46Speaker 5: teams in the Western Conference.
- 30:47Speaker 3: My wish for you, sir, as we get ready for
- 30:50Speaker 3: the holidays is for some day to open up a
- 30:53Speaker 3: sixty piece McNugget. That's that's my hope for you.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Sixty full pieces. Man, what's that that? That just sounds lovely?
- 31:04Speaker 3: Thank you, sir, have fun on the call to I
- 31:07Speaker 3: don't I don't want to go buy three twenty pieces,

- 32:04Speaker 3: Coming up next, we've got some award finalists and also
- 32:07Speaker 3: an update on the NFL trading deadline. We got a
- 32:10Speaker 3: trade Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM that I
- 32:13Speaker 3: was leading you in that direction. I wasn't The Raiders
- 32:17Speaker 3: and Jaguars have hooked up, and I actually was thinking,
- 32:20Speaker 3: I've tried to get Jacoby Myers off the waiver wire
- 32:22Speaker 3: for fantasy. I have him. I thought he was going
- 32:25Speaker 3: to end up in a different uniform at the end
- 32:27Speaker 3: of this day, and he's going to He's now a
- 32:29Speaker 3: member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders are going to
- 32:32Speaker 3: get a fourth and a sixth round pick. Jaguars had
- 32:35Speaker 3: a lot of draft picks to move, and so they
- 32:38Speaker 3: have landed Jacoby Myers here on trade deadline day. The
- 32:42Speaker 3: deadline is coming up at one o'clock. Still nothing from
- 32:44Speaker 3: the Seahawks at this point. Greg Bell told us an
- 32:47Speaker 3: hour ago not expecting too much activity, if any at
- 32:51Speaker 3: all from John Schneider today, but they certainly are making
- 32:54Speaker 3: their phone calls. We'll see. We got some time to
- 32:56Speaker 3: go before the deadline hits, and so plenty of time
- 32:59Speaker 3: for John Schneider to work his trade deadline magic. But
- 33:02Speaker 3: Jacoby Myers is leaving the Raiders. Maybe that for sales
- 33:06Speaker 3: sign is out there are the Raiders now. Maybe Max
- 33:09Speaker 3: Crosby can be had at a certain rate. I don't know,
- 33:12Speaker 3: but the Raiders do move on from Jacoby Myers. More
- 33:15Speaker 3: on that coming up on the show here today, but
- 33:19Speaker 3: yesterday I did want to squeeze this into the program.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Ritt new oswill join us at nine. Major League Baseball's
- 33:24Speaker 3: getting ready for awards season. They announced their finalists yesterday.
- 33:28Speaker 3: It feels like they're doing all of this early, like
- 33:30Speaker 3: they can't wait to get all of this done. But
- 33:33Speaker 3: they named them all yesterday, and no surprise, cal Rawley
- 33:37Speaker 3: is a top three finalist along with Jose Ramirez and
- 33:40Speaker 3: Aaron Judge for American League MVP.
- 33:43Speaker 7: Good Well, I think everybody kind of recognized that. I'm
- 33:47Speaker 7: fine with them not waiting. You don't have to drag
- 33:49Speaker 7: your feature.
- 33:49Speaker 5: Let me know.
- 33:50Speaker 3: I'm hoping he got it.
- 33:51Speaker 7: Who knows how this whole thing's gonna work out, but
- 33:54Speaker 7: obviously well deserved for what he did for his squad
- 33:57Speaker 7: this year.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Certainly he's losing in the panelist discussions right now at
- 34:01Speaker 3: MLB Network, they're giving it to Judge most everybody at
- 34:05Speaker 3: the network. I kind of feel, Ashley, that we are
- 34:08Speaker 3: going to be disappointed. But I think narrowly, I think
- 34:12Speaker 3: Kyl's going to be no lower than second on any ballot,
- 34:17Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna I think he's gonna get
- 34:19Speaker 3: first on a lot of ballots, just not enough, I fear, Yeah,
- 34:22Speaker 3: And I think that's probably the way it is.
- 34:24Speaker 9: And it's unfortunate because, as we've talked about so much,
- 34:28Speaker 9: the just the effort that he has to put into
- 34:31Speaker 9: every single game from start to finish, before the game,
- 34:35Speaker 9: everything just to make that game go right is a
- 34:39Speaker 9: lot greater than what Aaron Judge has to do.
- 34:41Speaker 3: It's just true, I mean, and I mean, granted we're biased,
- 34:45Speaker 3: we watch it every single day. I don't feel this
- 34:48Speaker 3: as a bias decision because I'm such a huge fan
- 34:50Speaker 3: of Aaron Judge. You know, he wears Yankee penstrites. I
- 34:52Speaker 3: think it's just awesome for the sport. I love watching
- 34:55Speaker 3: him play. I root against him to win, but I
- 34:58Speaker 3: do love watching him, and I think he's a great
- 35:01Speaker 3: ambassador for the sport as well. But there was just
- 35:03Speaker 3: that that Colt Keith slide in the Tiger series where
- 35:07Speaker 3: Keith had a like a three step jump because we
- 35:10Speaker 3: weren't holding him apparently we decided not to hold runners
- 35:13Speaker 3: at that given moment, and Kyle just throws a laser beam,
- 35:16Speaker 3: and there was just this thought of, Yeah, let's see
- 35:18Speaker 3: Aaron Judge do that. Yeah, yeah, it's not.
- 35:21Speaker 7: I mean, I'll see, yeah, I'll admit that there's probably
- 35:24Speaker 7: some bias, but not really because of what you just said.
- 35:27Speaker 7: I mean, I think Aaron Judge is amazing. Aaron Judge
- 35:30Speaker 7: had a better offensive season, even though he didn't hit
- 35:32Speaker 7: as many home runs. He's just not more valuable to
- 35:35Speaker 7: his team.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Period.
- 35:37Speaker 3: There's not this year.
- 35:38Speaker 7: No, not this year. Yeah, it just isn't. That's just
- 35:40Speaker 7: not It's not the most valuable offensive statistical season because
- 35:46Speaker 7: that that's not even a question. I mean, cal Rawly
- 35:49Speaker 7: hit two forty or whatever he hit. It's not the same.
- 35:51Speaker 7: They didn't hit the same. It's just who's more valuable
- 35:53Speaker 7: that That is a different conversation, and to me, it's
- 35:56Speaker 7: not even a conversation. Is amazing as cal or as
- 36:00Speaker 7: Aaron Judge's numbers offensively are, He's not as valuable as
- 36:04Speaker 7: cal Rawley is period.
- 36:06Speaker 3: Dan Wilson also named a finalist for American League Manager
- 36:09Speaker 3: of the Year, alongside John Schneider of the Blue Jays
- 36:12Speaker 3: and Stephen Vote of the Guardians, who if he won,
- 36:15Speaker 3: would go back to back. But I think it's between
- 36:19Speaker 3: Dan and Schneider. Yeah, it's probably gonna go to Schneider.
- 36:22Speaker 3: I think so, yeah, well deserved by Dan.
- 36:25Speaker 7: Yeah, And ultimately that's one that I wouldn't be I
- 36:28Speaker 7: wouldn't be mad at I mean Schneider, if you just
- 36:31Speaker 7: think about, like a lot of times when it comes
- 36:33Speaker 7: down to tiebreakers, the head to head, he won the
- 36:35Speaker 7: head to head in the playoffs, had a better record, Yeah,
- 36:38Speaker 7: I mean, he had a better overall season. He ended
- 36:42Speaker 7: up going to the World Series, was a couple outs
- 36:44Speaker 7: away from winning it.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Well, they decide that, they decided the vote before that.
- 36:47Speaker 3: I know.
- 36:48Speaker 7: I'm just saying I think that ultimately, I think that's
- 36:51Speaker 7: the one that I can see one hundred percent. Like
- 36:53Speaker 7: the Aaron Judge and cal Rawley, I do not I
- 36:56Speaker 7: will not ever agree Aaron Judge wins it. I won't
- 37:01Speaker 7: have any qualms if Dan doesn't win the Manager of
- 37:05Speaker 7: the Year.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Yeah, don't. I would not even pick him. I wouldn't
- 37:08Speaker 3: pick Dan. And I think that he's gotten trashed pretty
- 37:12Speaker 3: heavily here in the market, and certainly there are a
- 37:14Speaker 3: lot of things that I disagreed with. I don't think
- 37:17Speaker 3: he did, by any stretch a bad job or even
- 37:19Speaker 3: a mediocre job. He did a good job this year.
- 37:21Speaker 3: I don't think he did a great job, like the
- 37:23Speaker 3: award should honor still.
- 37:25Speaker 9: Doing it because he first year and the teams won
- 37:29Speaker 9: the division for the first time.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Maybe well, I think it's it usually goes to whoever
- 37:34Speaker 3: you feel overachieved with his roster. That's usually who it
- 37:38Speaker 3: goes to. I don't think Dan overachieved with our roster,
- 37:42Speaker 3: so and then obviously watching him day by day, there's
- 37:46Speaker 3: a bias the other way. I think that there were
- 37:48Speaker 3: a lot of x's and o's decisions over the course
- 37:50Speaker 3: of the year that we had to question. So I
- 37:51Speaker 3: would not pick Dan Wilson Manager of the Year, but
- 37:54Speaker 3: the fact that he finishes top three shows you he
- 37:56Speaker 3: had a lot better year than what some people are
- 37:58Speaker 3: giving him credit for. Right New Isle, Neck Sports Radio
