Chuck & Buck 1-21 hour 4: Liability vs strength, Al Kinisky and one last thing. · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Anywhere in your mind's eye.
0:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe drive into the Betsy and picnic for walk
0:05
Speaker 2: or chase girls.
0:07
Speaker 1: See that one reminded me of roller skating.
0:10
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, okay.
0:12
Speaker 3: And I was chasing girls too, literally on skates. Oh
0:16
Speaker 3: try to make my moves.
0:17
Speaker 4: I like you probably did the like one skate in
0:19
Speaker 4: front of the other.
0:20
Speaker 1: Oh I did. I was pretty cool. I was just shoot.
0:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you gotta go down on you squat down,
0:27
Speaker 4: stick one leg.
0:28
Speaker 1: We did the limbo. Oh no, you called it shoot
0:30
Speaker 1: the duck.
0:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, shoot the duck.
0:32
Speaker 1: Maybe you just were taught to hate ducks.
0:34
Speaker 5: It was definitely accurate, and I was the best in
0:38
Speaker 5: our whole town at it because I remember I was tiny,
0:41
Speaker 5: but I could get down on one skate with the
0:43
Speaker 5: other one out to the side, and I mean I
0:45
Speaker 5: could go under like eleven inches.
0:47
Speaker 4: Oh this.
0:48
Speaker 6: You didn't have to go under anything. You just had
0:50
Speaker 6: to be able to skate and not fall over.
0:52
Speaker 1: I could not shoot under the limbo.
0:55
Speaker 3: And it was to that song, and I had my
0:57
Speaker 3: mullet rocking hermed there was video.
1:00
Speaker 2: I was killing it pretty much, a surefire female magnet,
1:04
Speaker 2: right the whole thing you described.
1:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty amazing.
1:08
Speaker 2: Can't go wrong there, And there's having like a villa
1:11
Speaker 2: on the you know Italian rivi era, uh, and then
1:14
Speaker 2: wearing a mullet while skating in your acid wasss at Hermiston?
1:20
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure what I did was way
1:25
Speaker 1: better than having a villa.
1:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, So suck at Clooney, what you got on? Yeah,
1:35
Speaker 2: nine o'clock hour here on this Wednesday. Softy, by the way,
1:39
Speaker 2: is going to have on Kurt Warner tomorrow with Mike Holmgren.
1:44
Speaker 2: H So we'll see if Kurt finally gives a coach
1:46
Speaker 2: a piece of his mind. Oh wow, didn't give me
1:49
Speaker 2: a chance.
1:51
Speaker 1: I'll let him know.
1:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, let him know.
1:53
Speaker 1: We'll see that gets really violent.
1:55
Speaker 2: So that's tomorrow at four twenty they're going to do that?
1:58
Speaker 2: Is that what I'm hearing? Four twenty tomorrow, Kurt Warner
2:02
Speaker 2: with Coach Holmgren, Softy Fane, and Jackson Feltz. Right here
2:05
Speaker 2: at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM. We
2:09
Speaker 2: also have a thousand dollars powerplay cash word for you.
2:12
Speaker 2: It's credit enter that at ninety three to three KJR
2:15
Speaker 2: dot com. That's credit to ninety three to three KJR
2:18
Speaker 2: dot com. Used in a sentence, don't give me any
2:22
Speaker 2: credit at all for the twenty twenty three NFL Draft,
2:27
Speaker 2: And I will explain because that was the CJ. Stroud Draft,
2:35
Speaker 2: and CJ. Stroud looks lost right now. So let's go
2:39
Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty three draft, miss where I was saying, man,
2:45
Speaker 2: when are you going to have this kind of draft
2:47
Speaker 2: capital to move up and get the quarterback of your choice.
2:52
Speaker 2: You need a franchise quarterback. And the Seahawks had that time,
2:57
Speaker 2: had the fifth and the twentieth pick in the draft,
3:00
Speaker 2: and Bryce Young and c J. Stroud with the top
3:02
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks in that draft. If you remember, I even
3:06
Speaker 2: said it the next year. I gave us said it
3:08
Speaker 2: the next year, even after the draft was over, and
3:11
Speaker 2: we landed two really good players, which if you've forgotten,
3:15
Speaker 2: I'll get to in a moment. And I'm still saying,
3:18
Speaker 2: say that's why you know, when you got a chance,
3:21
Speaker 2: you get that quarterback, that franchise quarterback. Now look at him,
3:24
Speaker 2: he looks like a superstar. And now here we are
3:28
Speaker 2: three seasons later, he looks scared to death. There's talk
3:32
Speaker 2: that maybe won't be retained in Houston after this season,
3:37
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks by not listening to me during draft miss,
3:42
Speaker 2: not that they ever would have. They get to keep
3:45
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon and JSN Few exactly right.
3:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a few moments.
3:56
Speaker 2: I mean, think about what he did with that that
3:59
Speaker 2: Think about that tire draft. Will Anderson went third. Look
4:02
Speaker 2: what he's turned into for Houston brought. BJN Robinson and
4:06
Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs were in that draft. Jalen Carter was in
4:10
Speaker 2: that draft. The Bears, who traded out of the number
4:12
Speaker 2: one spot and got Caleb Williams for it. The next
4:15
Speaker 2: year got Darnell Wright, who's a Pro bowler this year,
4:18
Speaker 2: probably All Pro this year right tackle. With the tenth pick,
4:22
Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez, who might be the best cornerback in the
4:25
Speaker 2: National Football League right now. Hemmer Certan, he was taken
4:30
Speaker 2: in ef fort. Jack Campbell, who's made like three Pro
4:32
Speaker 2: Bowls with the Detroit Lions in three years, was in
4:36
Speaker 2: that draft. I mean, what a loaded draft, and yet
4:39
Speaker 2: our penchant for man you got to get that franchise quarterback.
4:44
Speaker 2: I was guilty of it. And it turns out that
4:47
Speaker 2: the perfect play was made by John Schneider that day.
4:51
Speaker 2: And yet the ebbs and flows of the quarterback and
4:57
Speaker 2: not giving him up up on them too soon ties
4:59
Speaker 2: right to our guy. I mean, Baker Mayfield has had
5:02
Speaker 2: an up and down career. Obviously, Bryce Young was surely
5:07
Speaker 2: worse than c. J. Stroud for the first two years
5:10
Speaker 2: of his career, and now kind of feels like Bryce
5:12
Speaker 2: Young was the better is the better quarterback out of
5:16
Speaker 2: the two, And the same thing applies to our quarterback
5:18
Speaker 2: with Sam Darnald. I mean, if there's a position that
5:22
Speaker 2: maybe you shouldn't ride the ebbs and flows, maybe you
5:25
Speaker 2: should just play it out and see what experience and
5:29
Speaker 2: the right system and the right head coach and the
5:33
Speaker 2: right surrounding talent can do for a young man. We
5:36
Speaker 2: may not have more of a shining example than what
5:39
Speaker 2: we have right now in Sam Darnald. And yet because
5:43
Speaker 2: of those struggles early in his career, they we just
5:48
Speaker 2: can't get away from this narrative that the Seahawks don't
5:51
Speaker 2: have a good enough quarterback to win the Super Bowl.
5:53
Speaker 2: I mean, we've been watching him every game this year.
5:56
Speaker 2: I think that's nuts. I don't think there's any doubt
5:59
Speaker 2: that he can win the championship this year. And even
6:03
Speaker 2: if he throws a couple of interceptions here over the
6:05
Speaker 2: coach to the next couple of weeks, but they riding
6:09
Speaker 2: that ebb and flow. I think that a lot of
6:11
Speaker 2: national people just can't get over they buried Sam Donald
6:15
Speaker 2: early in his career and just can't accept the fact
6:18
Speaker 2: because they don't watch him play every day, and you know,
6:21
Speaker 2: they sit in New York and want to judge. They
6:24
Speaker 2: can't accept the fact that that guy that they married
6:27
Speaker 2: and crucified actually is somebody that can lead an NFL
6:32
Speaker 2: team to a Super Bowl victory like we have in
6:37
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, and he's still in his twenties and still
6:39
Speaker 2: has a lot more.
6:40
Speaker 1: That he can do well.
6:41
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people that, especially people
6:43
Speaker 3: that do our jobs right where we're paid to give opinions,
6:47
Speaker 3: that have a really hard time doing what you just did,
6:50
Speaker 3: which is admitting that, Wow, I'm glad they didn't listen
6:53
Speaker 3: to me on that one.
6:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, admitting that you're wrong.
6:55
Speaker 3: It's it's not fun all the time to do it,
6:58
Speaker 3: and yet it's human, especially when you get paid for
7:01
Speaker 3: twenty hours a week. We come on here and kind
7:03
Speaker 3: of throw it out there, like here's what I think,
7:06
Speaker 3: not what I know. Now if you say, oh, I
7:08
Speaker 3: know this for a fact, like who were the guys
7:12
Speaker 3: that we got that JSN.
7:14
Speaker 2: Jas Hennen Devol? You can you even imagine the best
7:17
Speaker 2: team without those two guys?
7:18
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
7:19
Speaker 2: That's it's like we'll be waking up from a nightmare
7:21
Speaker 2: right there.
7:22
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, terrible.
7:23
Speaker 3: And yet it's like if you say I know that
7:26
Speaker 3: you made a mistake by getting JSN, and then now
7:28
Speaker 3: you're sitting here, well then you don't have a choice
7:30
Speaker 3: but to kind of eat that one, right, like you
7:32
Speaker 3: have to back up off of it. There's other times
7:35
Speaker 3: where as Sam Darnold, for example, what he was when
7:39
Speaker 3: he first came out at twenty years old to a
7:41
Speaker 3: bad team and it didn't work, and then what he's
7:43
Speaker 3: been for the last two years. It's apparently not enough
7:48
Speaker 3: for people to admit, all right, maybe I was premature
7:51
Speaker 3: on throwing dirt on this guy when he was twenty
7:53
Speaker 3: years old.
7:54
Speaker 1: And and I guess.
7:55
Speaker 3: They said times have hard time remembered what they were
7:57
Speaker 3: like at twenty years old, because I'm pretty sure most
8:00
Speaker 3: to the people talking trash about Sam Donald, you weren't
8:02
Speaker 3: very good at anything at twenty, let alone running an
8:05
Speaker 3: NFL team. And an NFL offense, and so I think
8:09
Speaker 3: that there's heart. A lot of times people have a
8:11
Speaker 3: hard time recognizing it.
8:12
Speaker 2: CJ.
8:12
Speaker 3: Stroud, on the other hand, comes out basically and what
8:15
Speaker 3: was the second year, all of a sudden has that
8:17
Speaker 3: great year. Then that gives you extra like length in
8:22
Speaker 3: the rope, if you will, for like leniency, And they're like,
8:25
Speaker 3: oh man, we remember what he was like. And yet
8:28
Speaker 3: it also sets a bar so high that anything less
8:31
Speaker 3: than that.
8:31
Speaker 1: I mean CJ.
8:32
Speaker 3: Stroud's went to the playoffs every single year. He looked
8:35
Speaker 3: lost for sure the last couple of games. I mean,
8:37
Speaker 3: looks like he's got the yips. He's scared to not
8:40
Speaker 3: throw it with conviction, Like MATC. Hasselbeck says, you have
8:42
Speaker 3: to throw the ball with conviction if Sam Donald does, Yeah,
8:45
Speaker 3: Sam Donald does, regardless of what he did the play before.
8:48
Speaker 3: And so to me, it's if you recognize how good CJ.
8:52
Speaker 3: Stroud could be, you don't throw him under the bus
8:55
Speaker 3: when he kind of pukes on himself in the playoffs
8:59
Speaker 3: and say I'm just not going to do it. The
9:01
Speaker 3: beautiful thing is you don't necessarily have to convert. You
9:03
Speaker 3: don't have to you don't have to sign him to
9:05
Speaker 3: a sixty million dollar contract tomorrow or you lose him.
9:08
Speaker 3: You kind of have a little bit of time to
9:10
Speaker 3: play with the Sam Donald situation, because he was a veteran,
9:13
Speaker 3: because he had played as well as he did with Minnesota,
9:16
Speaker 3: he would thrust himself into a position where teams that
9:19
Speaker 3: needed a quarterback had to decide and are we going
9:21
Speaker 3: to pay him big time money? Well, there's also another
9:25
Speaker 3: way of looking at him. Wait a second, can we
9:27
Speaker 3: get a guy that just led them to almost the
9:30
Speaker 3: number one seed in the NFC, that won fourteen games?
9:32
Speaker 3: Can we get him for what is a deal compared
9:35
Speaker 3: to some of what the quarterbacks are making. I mean,
9:37
Speaker 3: you have thirty million dollars, you get to spend. The
9:40
Speaker 3: cap space that the Seahawks have is in large part
9:43
Speaker 3: because of how little they're.
9:44
Speaker 1: Paying Sam Donald.
9:45
Speaker 3: And yet Sam Donald has went out there and played
9:48
Speaker 3: capable of going, you know, throw for throw with anybody
9:52
Speaker 3: in the league. I mean, I think Matthew Stafford's had
9:54
Speaker 3: a better year as a pastor. Now he's the MVP,
9:57
Speaker 3: but his team didn't win more games, he didn't win
9:59
Speaker 3: the divis, he didn't get a number one by or
10:02
Speaker 3: the number one seed, and a bye in the first round.
10:04
Speaker 3: So to me, it's I think it's just a matter
10:07
Speaker 3: of some people have our time letting go of their
10:09
Speaker 3: opinion because they want to be right more than they
10:11
Speaker 3: want to recognize what is true. And I think a
10:15
Speaker 3: lot of people are hung up on that when it
10:17
Speaker 3: comes to Sam Donald unfortunately.
10:18
Speaker 6: Well, and especially with Sam Donald, I mean I mentioned
10:20
Speaker 6: it earlier. It's when he had those four interceptions in
10:23
Speaker 6: LA How many times did you hear people go, oh,
10:25
Speaker 6: he's seeing ghosts. He's seeing ghosts, because that's the thing
10:27
Speaker 6: they remember from twenty nineteen in his second year in
10:31
Speaker 6: the NFL when he had that problem. That's not the
10:34
Speaker 6: same thing. He was not seeing ghosts. He was actually
10:36
Speaker 6: not seeing things that were there, not seeing things that
10:40
Speaker 6: weren't there.
10:40
Speaker 2: And that's a common expression used by you just don't
10:43
Speaker 2: use it in the media, trying to use it in
10:46
Speaker 2: the media because they can haunt ghosts can haunt you.
10:48
Speaker 4: They can't. Actually that's what they're known for.
10:50
Speaker 6: But it's like it's people I think that want to
10:52
Speaker 6: sound like they know what they're talking about football wise,
10:55
Speaker 6: like oh, you know, there you go, that's that thing.
10:57
Speaker 6: And so he keeps coming up it keeps coming up.
10:59
Speaker 6: But that's not the same situation. He's not the same quarterback,
11:02
Speaker 6: he's not dealing with the same things. And it just
11:04
Speaker 6: seems like you get these little viral things that people
11:07
Speaker 6: either say or think or that happen, and that's the
11:10
Speaker 6: easiest thing to grab onto. So you just you know,
11:14
Speaker 6: it just it's like word vomit, say the first thing
11:16
Speaker 6: that comes to mind, and that's what people do.
11:17
Speaker 7: Well.
11:18
Speaker 2: I was sure that Sam Darnold was toast. I thought
11:21
Speaker 2: he was cooked. I mean, it took a little while.
11:23
Speaker 1: It took a while.
11:25
Speaker 2: I get why a Jets fan doesn't want to hear
11:27
Speaker 2: his name mentioned, especially now. I get that he wasn't
11:30
Speaker 2: good there, but there's also this aspect of being able
11:34
Speaker 2: to say, oh wait, wait, wee wait, that kid was
11:37
Speaker 2: twenty years old coming out of college. Yep, he took
11:40
Speaker 2: over a bad He took over his quarterback for a
11:43
Speaker 2: bad team and a bad organization that can't make.
11:46
Speaker 1: A right decision.
11:48
Speaker 2: So it didn't work. I mean, it wasn't there for
11:51
Speaker 2: it to work. And then he had to go back
11:54
Speaker 2: down to basics, and like Andy Dufrayn climbing through miles
11:59
Speaker 2: and miles of Pooh to get his freedom out of Shawshank,
12:04
Speaker 2: you know, he climbed his way out of New York
12:07
Speaker 2: and being labeled a bust, and then he had to
12:10
Speaker 2: spend time as Carolina like ride share program. Yeah, with
12:16
Speaker 2: similar story with Baker Mayfield, who was the number one
12:20
Speaker 2: pick in his draft and looked like he was going
12:22
Speaker 2: to be a success and then he crashed out and
12:25
Speaker 2: then had to rebuild his So they were in that together.
12:28
Speaker 2: Then he goes to San Francisco and he's backing up
12:30
Speaker 2: mister irrelevant for goodness sake and says, that's the most
12:34
Speaker 2: learning that I did in my entire career. Yeah, to
12:37
Speaker 2: even have that humility to say, I was the third
12:41
Speaker 2: overall pick and I'm backing up the last pick in
12:44
Speaker 2: the draft who's younger than me by a couple of years,
12:48
Speaker 2: and I could learn a lot from this guy. I
12:51
Speaker 2: mean he's still to this day every time you ask
12:53
Speaker 2: him about it, how much brock Perdy helped him become
12:57
Speaker 2: a better quarterback. And then he gets to Menacola where
13:00
Speaker 2: he was supposed to back up for JJ McCarthy, So
13:03
Speaker 2: then he had to climb up that and then he
13:06
Speaker 2: had some success and people still doubt him, and I understand,
13:09
Speaker 2: But then now we've put together two years twenty eight
13:13
Speaker 2: wins in the regular season. I mean, I don't know
13:18
Speaker 2: what more people need to see nationally in order to
13:22
Speaker 2: not look at Sam Darnold as a liability. But that's
13:26
Speaker 2: what the entire twenty four hours was spent by people
13:30
Speaker 2: that clearly haven't been watching him play that consistently. That's
13:34
Speaker 2: what they spent discussing. I mean there was even one
13:36
Speaker 2: guy I respect very much who said this, Sam's got
13:39
Speaker 2: to do more in this game than what like one
13:45
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four passing yards in a game you
13:47
Speaker 2: won by thirty five.
13:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course held on to the ball.
13:51
Speaker 2: Course, he'll probably have to do more, but there's this
13:56
Speaker 2: feeling that that's not going to be good enough. What
14:00
Speaker 2: do you mean playing perfectly under game circumstances and the
14:04
Speaker 2: situation and the environment that he I mean, that's.
14:07
Speaker 4: Playing your part in the game plan.
14:09
Speaker 2: It's exactly what how you want him to play with
14:11
Speaker 2: an oblique injury is the way try to limit his
14:14
Speaker 2: passes and if the running games work and let it cook.
14:17
Speaker 2: I mean, that's exactly what you want out of him.
14:19
Speaker 2: He didn't turn the ball over, never put it in
14:21
Speaker 2: harm's way. If I can recall twelve or seventeen completions
14:25
Speaker 2: and took his foot off the gas in the second half.
14:27
Speaker 2: He was out by the end of his last pass
14:30
Speaker 2: was with thirteen minutes left in the third quarter. Yeah,
14:33
Speaker 2: he's probably going to have to do more than that
14:35
Speaker 2: against the Los Angeles Rams because we're probably not going
14:38
Speaker 2: to be up by thirty five in the third quarter.
14:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, ah, do we want to be? I'm good with it.
14:45
Speaker 2: Whoa hanging fruit and it's just like, come on, come
14:49
Speaker 2: up with something. Yeah, I get it. You criticize Sam Darnold,
14:53
Speaker 2: we all did. It looked like he was a bust.
14:55
Speaker 2: But he's still in his twenties. He's resurrected his career.
14:58
Speaker 2: He's not only not a lie ability, he has a
15:01
Speaker 2: strength of the best team in the National Football League
15:03
Speaker 2: right now.
15:04
Speaker 3: I mean, it's probably one of my biggest frustrations about
15:08
Speaker 3: our job, the people that do what we do, is
15:12
Speaker 3: the I can't wait to say somebody sucks. It's like, don't, don't,
15:16
Speaker 3: don't you don't have to. I give somebody some time.
15:19
Speaker 3: Everybody that sucks at something, if it's put out in
15:23
Speaker 3: in the on a platform that people are going to watch,
15:26
Speaker 3: it's gonna come out that they aren't very good at it,
15:29
Speaker 3: they're not good enough to be a franchise quarterback. And
15:32
Speaker 3: then it's every single year you're fighting for your job
15:35
Speaker 3: to just have a job, to be capable of being
15:38
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback. Because even that's not something to scoff at.
15:41
Speaker 1: You don't suck.
15:42
Speaker 3: You're if you're number two, which means you're top thirty
15:45
Speaker 3: four in the world being quarterback, or presumably maybe there's
15:49
Speaker 3: somebody that didn't get a chance and they're sitting at home.
15:52
Speaker 1: Or you know, working at Walmart or something.
15:54
Speaker 3: But I mean, for the most part, to be number
15:57
Speaker 3: one or two on any NFL team, you don't suck.
15:59
Speaker 3: But I think people can can't wait to say it,
16:02
Speaker 3: like they they expect that it's you. They walk on water,
16:05
Speaker 3: They're going to show up and they're just automatically going
16:07
Speaker 3: to be amazing. No, that's not the case. Yesterday, Hugh
16:10
Speaker 3: was talking about how big of a difference it is
16:13
Speaker 3: when he would sit there as a journeyman quarterback majority
16:16
Speaker 3: of his career and see the same exact offense, but
16:20
Speaker 3: how differently it was installed talking about you know, Nord Turner, like, no,
16:25
Speaker 3: your shoulders have to be here, And he's talking about
16:27
Speaker 3: like a five degree difference of how somebody has to
16:29
Speaker 3: run a route, whereas somebody else is installing that same
16:32
Speaker 3: thing and they're not going down to the tiny little details. Well,
16:36
Speaker 3: if there's one thing that we can say, probably majority
16:39
Speaker 3: of the time the Jets don't have the better the
16:42
Speaker 3: best people installing stuff, right do we Because we've just
16:45
Speaker 3: seen quarterback after quarterback going there and then they come out.
16:48
Speaker 2: I don't take no, I don't think I have to
16:52
Speaker 2: backpedal from that one.
16:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, And yet you know, he was basically a victim
16:57
Speaker 3: of the circumstance and then a victim of his own
17:00
Speaker 3: incapabilities at twenty years old.
17:02
Speaker 2: Immaturity and I'm not talking about mental or emotional match
17:05
Speaker 2: just didn't know how to.
17:06
Speaker 3: Do it at that level period, and so he didn't.
17:09
Speaker 3: His time ran out, they moved on.
17:12
Speaker 1: New York.
17:12
Speaker 3: Wasn't happy with it, and he had to climb his
17:14
Speaker 3: way back, most certainly by eating some humble pie. Not
17:18
Speaker 3: that I think he was super arrogant, but he had
17:20
Speaker 3: to go, well, if I'm gonna stick around this game
17:22
Speaker 3: and ever rebound and become a starter in this league
17:25
Speaker 3: to where I don't go down in history as a bust.
17:27
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to recognize all the things that I
17:30
Speaker 3: don't do well and improve upon him. And that might
17:33
Speaker 3: mean sitting behind mister irrelevant or losing a one on
17:38
Speaker 3: one battle for the quarterback position against another bust in
17:42
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield down to Carolina.
17:44
Speaker 1: Whatever it is.
17:44
Speaker 3: He had to eat that, wear it, and then keep
17:47
Speaker 3: his nose to the grindstone and keep getting better.
17:49
Speaker 1: He obviously is better. If you just flat over, gonna
17:52
Speaker 1: go nope, still.
17:53
Speaker 3: Turnover machine, then you just have him been paying attention,
17:56
Speaker 3: Jets Jetsy sucks forever. Then okay, well sorry, you can
18:01
Speaker 3: be mad about it. Fact is, yeah, you didn't get
18:04
Speaker 3: this version of Sam Darnold. If you had, he wouldn't
18:07
Speaker 3: have went through the path that he had to go
18:08
Speaker 3: to to get here. So who knows how that would.
18:10
Speaker 2: Have worked well even full I mean, just to bring
18:12
Speaker 2: a full circle, you're right, Well, you're the line that
18:15
Speaker 2: you were on the like I mean, I'm paid to
18:18
Speaker 2: have a sports opinion and I'm gonna have a strong one,
18:20
Speaker 2: and I'm going to try to support that opinion. And
18:23
Speaker 2: I thought at the time Seahawks have never had this
18:25
Speaker 2: kind of draft capital. They don't have anything that resembles
18:28
Speaker 2: the quarterback of the future. Do you waste that draft
18:31
Speaker 2: capital to get up or not waste it? But do
18:33
Speaker 2: you use that draft capital to get up and get
18:35
Speaker 2: that franchise quarter Even though they didn't look like there
18:38
Speaker 2: was a sure fire Andrew Locke Trevor Lawrence kind of
18:41
Speaker 2: quarterback at number one, you had your opportunity to get
18:44
Speaker 2: up and get the quarterback that you liked the most
18:47
Speaker 2: in that particular draft, And by god, it's a good
18:51
Speaker 2: thing you didn't. I mean, it felt to me like
18:53
Speaker 2: the right thing at the time, but it's a good
18:56
Speaker 2: thing you didn't because I don't care what CJ. Stroud
18:58
Speaker 2: does become going forward. I'd rather have Spoon and I'd
19:01
Speaker 2: rather have JS on my football team and then figure
19:05
Speaker 2: out the quarterback as you go. But even me saying that,
19:09
Speaker 2: I'm not going to bury CJ. Stroud either, because Baker
19:12
Speaker 2: Mayfield was up and then down and then got back
19:15
Speaker 2: up again, and maybe it feels like he's going back
19:17
Speaker 2: down again, and so I don't want to bury him either,
19:22
Speaker 2: and I don't want the Texans to have to bear him.
19:24
Speaker 2: It seems to me this quarterback position's pretty difficult to play,
19:29
Speaker 2: and if you don't always maintain confidence, boy, you can
19:34
Speaker 2: sink like a rock pretty quickly. Or if you don't
19:37
Speaker 2: have the right parts around you supporting you, you can
19:39
Speaker 2: sink pretty quickly. So I'll leave hope alive that CJ.
19:44
Speaker 2: Stroud does rebound from this. That said, I don't think
19:48
Speaker 2: that I would. I will ever regret John taking JS
19:54
Speaker 2: in and Devin Witherspoon over him. But just to have
19:57
Speaker 2: that ability to like, hey, this is what I thought,
20:00
Speaker 2: it's not I was wrong and now this is what's right.
20:06
Speaker 2: Just add that ability doesn't seem like that's far fetched,
20:09
Speaker 2: and I think the entire nation suffering it from it
20:12
Speaker 2: from a from a compound of ignorance that they're working from.
20:15
Speaker 3: Well, recognizing that you're not perfect and being able to
20:19
Speaker 3: admit that didn't used to be a superpower, but it
20:22
Speaker 3: is now.
20:24
Speaker 2: Al Kiniski's Next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
20:30
Speaker 2: I want to start a problem. I know that Buddy's
20:36
Speaker 2: I know that Bucky really likes Rick Riz. Yeah, I do,
20:40
Speaker 2: we all do, I do.
20:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:41
Speaker 2: He was just on MLB Network and he picked Edgar
20:44
Speaker 2: over you for Mariners all time, DHR.
20:47
Speaker 4: That's just rude.
20:49
Speaker 3: Sorry, fair guy has been around the game to know
20:51
Speaker 3: so little you would think. I mean, I've been around
20:54
Speaker 3: the Mariners forever.
20:56
Speaker 4: I've got to just try into old.
20:59
Speaker 1: He just forgot how great that must be.
21:01
Speaker 7: It.
21:01
Speaker 1: I mean, I took his job. Yeah, he was already.
21:07
Speaker 6: He did just say that Rick Riz was getting old.
21:09
Speaker 6: So I'm pretty sure next time he'll pick Edgar even faster.
21:13
Speaker 4: I just remember anyway.
21:15
Speaker 2: Edgar knows it's been a rough morning for you. Found
21:18
Speaker 2: out that's Clooney's more charming than you.
21:21
Speaker 1: And now Edgar hands is not.
21:23
Speaker 2: Yeah rough, so al Kiniski joins us. Al tread carefully,
21:29
Speaker 2: it's been a rough morning for Bucky so far.
21:33
Speaker 7: Well, Bucky, I would pick you over Edgar mark Abe,
21:38
Speaker 7: I love you. That's that's the good news.
21:41
Speaker 4: Is.
21:41
Speaker 7: The bad news is I don't get a vote.
21:43
Speaker 2: Oh okay, somehow I'm a little offended by Yeah, that's
21:48
Speaker 2: a little bit offensive to me. I don't know, no offense,
21:51
Speaker 2: no offense to you, but a good to chat with
21:55
Speaker 2: you all, even though man, I don't I don't know
21:58
Speaker 2: what to make of this season. Great start, terrible stretch,
22:02
Speaker 2: you're ready to throw in the towel. Then all of
22:05
Speaker 2: a sudden, out of no where, great stretch, get right
22:07
Speaker 2: back within a point first place again, and then all
22:11
Speaker 2: of a sudden can't win a game. What is happening
22:13
Speaker 2: with our Seattle Kraken right now?
22:16
Speaker 7: I'll tell you the tightness of this Pacific Division and
22:19
Speaker 7: really the Western Conference in general. But the tightness of
22:22
Speaker 7: this division is the reason why the Kraken dropped out
22:26
Speaker 7: of a playoff spot during that bat run prior to Christmas,
22:29
Speaker 7: and then got back into third spot in the conference
22:34
Speaker 7: after Christmas, and now they're one point out of a
22:36
Speaker 7: wild card spot once again. So when you've got six
22:39
Speaker 7: or eight teams that are all within a few points
22:41
Speaker 7: of each other, if you don't keep winning, you can go.
22:45
Speaker 7: You can go much higher in the standings very quickly,
22:48
Speaker 7: or much lower as we've seen.
22:50
Speaker 1: Well, what is it that they need?
22:52
Speaker 3: What's the difference that you see when they're playing well
22:55
Speaker 3: and getting the outcomes that you want? Because Chuck and
22:58
Speaker 3: I were just talking during the break about it's the
23:00
Speaker 3: process and it's the approach to how you go about things,
23:03
Speaker 3: and then the outcomes will fall in your favor. When
23:05
Speaker 3: you're doing more stuff correctly than incorrectly. So when they're
23:08
Speaker 3: going through these skids, what's the downfall? Or when they're
23:12
Speaker 3: playing hot, what is the thing that they're doing better?
23:16
Speaker 7: So I would say, Bucky, it's three things, and one
23:20
Speaker 7: of the three is a little sense of So I'll
23:21
Speaker 7: save that one for last. I want to be very
23:22
Speaker 7: careful about how I say it. The first thing is
23:25
Speaker 7: is that this franchise has never gone three consecutive games
23:30
Speaker 7: being scored on shorthanded, and that happened over this last stretch.
23:33
Speaker 7: And when you get scored on shorthanded, I'm not sure
23:36
Speaker 7: what the equivalent is in baseball. Maybe a little pop
23:39
Speaker 7: up where the catcher catches it for the third strike,
23:42
Speaker 7: I don't know, but it's deflating. It's deflating to the
23:45
Speaker 7: team on the bench, it's deflating to the line on
23:47
Speaker 7: the ice to get scored on, and it takes a
23:50
Speaker 7: long time to build that back. And that's happened three
23:52
Speaker 7: times over the last three games. That's number one. Number
23:55
Speaker 7: two is bad starts, and bad starts are tough to solve.
23:59
Speaker 7: As a coach, you know how to solve them. You've
24:01
Speaker 7: got to go out and play better in the first period.
24:03
Speaker 7: But the players have to do it. The players have
24:05
Speaker 7: to figure it out. This team's have bad starts in
24:08
Speaker 7: at least three of the last five games, so bad starts,
24:11
Speaker 7: three short handed goals in a row. The third one
24:14
Speaker 7: is goaltending. And when I say goaltending, I mean this
24:17
Speaker 7: goaltending duo of Grubauer and Decor is fantastic. They've been
24:21
Speaker 7: in the mid to low nine hundred save percentages most
24:26
Speaker 7: of the season, well over the last five games, it's
24:29
Speaker 7: dropped off a little bit. In fact, over the last
24:31
Speaker 7: ten I believe there's been six where it's been below
24:34
Speaker 7: nine hundred. So when this goaltending duo, which again has
24:38
Speaker 7: been playing fantastic all season, drops it puts the team
24:42
Speaker 7: in a position where it's tougher for them to win
24:45
Speaker 7: games because now they have to go score four or
24:47
Speaker 7: five or six to win a game rather than two,
24:50
Speaker 7: three or four. So the goaltending has been great, but
24:53
Speaker 7: if they don't play elite, this team has a difficult
24:57
Speaker 7: time winning.
24:58
Speaker 2: Al Koniski is with us as he joins us every
25:01
Speaker 2: Wednesday at this time talk from Cracking Hockey. They need
25:04
Speaker 2: a win tonight against the New York Islanders. More on
25:06
Speaker 2: that in a moment. I know, you hockey analysts love
25:10
Speaker 2: to do your lines, you know, make your lines out.
25:13
Speaker 2: I remember being a kid growing up in Saint Louis,
25:17
Speaker 2: and of course we had Brett, Brett Hull and Adam Oates,
25:20
Speaker 2: but I mean they were never not on the same
25:22
Speaker 2: line together, I mean Hull of Oates, I mean that
25:24
Speaker 2: was the line. They were never not on the same line.
25:27
Speaker 2: They were a dominant group and maybe you rotate the
25:30
Speaker 2: other guy out, but usually it was just, you know,
25:33
Speaker 2: you had your one line, two line, three lines, and
25:34
Speaker 2: unless you went into a major slump, you didn't change
25:38
Speaker 2: up anything. Seems like that coach Lambert and all cracking
25:43
Speaker 2: coaches since they took over are constantly trying to figure
25:46
Speaker 2: out that formula. So I would ask you are they
25:48
Speaker 2: are they they tinkering too much or not enough with
25:52
Speaker 2: their line combinations to try to find the right groups.
25:57
Speaker 7: Well, you got to remember a lot of the tinkering
25:58
Speaker 7: as a result of this team finally, finally, for the
26:01
Speaker 7: first time all season, being healthy, and so now you
26:04
Speaker 7: have all the chess pieces in play, and you can
26:07
Speaker 7: start to figure out who are those right pair hallooats
26:11
Speaker 7: in your example, who are those right, two guys that
26:13
Speaker 7: should stay together for the rest of the season, and
26:16
Speaker 7: then if you have to change somebody out, it's that
26:18
Speaker 7: third one. I'm not sure we know what that is
26:20
Speaker 7: right right now. Yes, we've had some of these guys,
26:22
Speaker 7: a lot of them in at different times and out
26:25
Speaker 7: at different times, but we have not had the entire
26:28
Speaker 7: lineup healthy yet this year. And so for the last
26:31
Speaker 7: handful of games, we're finally there, and I think coach
26:33
Speaker 7: Lane Lambert is trying to figure out who those pairs are,
26:36
Speaker 7: who those Hall and Oats pairs are, and who should
26:39
Speaker 7: be cycled out if they do need to cycle a
26:42
Speaker 7: third one out. But it takes time. You know, you
26:45
Speaker 7: have preseason for that, You've got the first dozen games
26:48
Speaker 7: for that, and this team hasn't had that yet. So unfortunately,
26:52
Speaker 7: that's what's going on with the tinkering of the lines.
26:54
Speaker 3: Well, they got a big one against the Islanders. What
26:57
Speaker 3: do they got to do to pull out a w
26:59
Speaker 3: and stop this.
27:01
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you, Bucky, it's the same thing as
27:03
Speaker 7: what I just said. They've got to have a great start.
27:05
Speaker 7: They've got to at least capitalize on their power play opportunities.
27:10
Speaker 7: You know, at a twenty five thirty percent level and
27:13
Speaker 7: not give up shorthanded goals. And then I go back
27:15
Speaker 7: to goaltending. Whoever's in net has got to keep the
27:18
Speaker 7: goals against to three or less. If you do that,
27:20
Speaker 7: you almost dial up a recipe for success. There aren't
27:23
Speaker 7: too many times where this team has scored three or
27:26
Speaker 7: more and lost the game. So you know, the guys
27:30
Speaker 7: have to put the fuck in the net at the
27:31
Speaker 7: offensive end of the ice. The goaltenders have to do
27:33
Speaker 7: their job keep it to three or less, and that's
27:35
Speaker 7: the recipe for a win tonight.
27:37
Speaker 2: Islanders are having a good year.
27:38
Speaker 7: Why well, Matthew Shaffer is a big part of that.
27:42
Speaker 7: You know, he's a top draft pick this year started
27:46
Speaker 7: in the NHL with the Islanders. He's at Quinn Hughes
27:49
Speaker 7: level defenseman. When you've got a guy like that that plays,
27:53
Speaker 7: you know, twenty five almost thirty minutes of a hockey
27:55
Speaker 7: game and can have that kind of an impact, he's
27:58
Speaker 7: almost impacting every shift.
28:00
Speaker 1: On the ice.
28:00
Speaker 7: So that's been a big reason for their success. But
28:03
Speaker 7: they've also got some depth in their roster with veterans
28:06
Speaker 7: as well, so they'll be they'll be a tough team tonight.
28:08
Speaker 2: Man, how great is the young talent right now in
28:11
Speaker 2: the NHL. It seems like there's just this new another
28:13
Speaker 2: teenager Schaeffer at eighteen and Celebrini and already's a superstar
28:19
Speaker 2: in San Jose and you know, Caton's starting to make
28:22
Speaker 2: his move here with the crack And I mean, is
28:25
Speaker 2: this normal? Are we seeing just a robust a couple
28:30
Speaker 2: of seasons of eighteen to twenty year olds who might
28:33
Speaker 2: be you know, household names here in the next ten years.
28:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's pretty special. I mean it's great
28:39
Speaker 7: for the game. First of all. Obviously it's great for
28:41
Speaker 7: the teams that they're on. But when you've got kids
28:44
Speaker 7: that are coming out of the draft and playing with
28:47
Speaker 7: their drafted teams right away or at least, you know,
28:51
Speaker 7: three quarters of the games of that season and not
28:53
Speaker 7: just playing for you know, a development role, but actually impacting.
28:57
Speaker 7: And you know, it took a while for Birthdy cat
28:59
Speaker 7: and to get going, but he's definitely cracked that goalscoring
29:03
Speaker 7: egg and Everett and I talk about it every game.
29:06
Speaker 7: He seems to get better and better every game, whether
29:09
Speaker 7: it's his playmaking ability, whether it's when he's taking face offs,
29:12
Speaker 7: whether it's his defensive side of the game as well.
29:15
Speaker 7: He's learning at a rapid pace and it's been exciting
29:18
Speaker 7: to see Hal Kaniski.
29:20
Speaker 2: A segment brought to you every week by Queen Anne
29:23
Speaker 2: beer Hall. I have a feeling he's coming from the
29:25
Speaker 2: beer Hall. That's why I said that the thing about
29:27
Speaker 2: you and Edgar at the beginning of the interview. I
29:30
Speaker 2: think maybe he had a few. I think, Al maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah,
29:34
Speaker 2: a few sheets to the windy.
29:36
Speaker 1: It's a very good take he had.
29:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, totals, wait till at least ten.
29:43
Speaker 2: All right, so six point thirty tonight dropping the puck
29:47
Speaker 2: the Everett and Al Show. We will be tuned in.
29:49
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, We appreciate you very much.
29:53
Speaker 7: All Right, boys, have a good rest of your day.
29:54
Speaker 2: All right, Al Canisky color analyst for your Seattle kraging
29:57
Speaker 2: Right here on the flagship kJ we are Queen Anne
30:01
Speaker 2: beer Hall sponsors a segment every day, home of the
30:03
Speaker 2: legendary Smash Burger and your pre post and away game headquarters.
30:08
Speaker 2: This team needs a win, and I get they're tired. Man,
30:10
Speaker 2: They're playing a lot of hockey, But everybody in the
30:12
Speaker 2: NHL is playing a lot of hockey in a really
30:16
Speaker 2: short period of time because of the break they're taking
30:19
Speaker 2: for the Olympics that are coming up, and so you
30:23
Speaker 2: can't use it as an excuse, but certainly they do
30:26
Speaker 2: not look like the same team their last eight games
30:29
Speaker 2: as they did the previous eight games. They got to
30:31
Speaker 2: get it back on track before they.
30:33
Speaker 1: Take that break.
30:34
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we'll close out the show with one
30:35
Speaker 2: last thing on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
30:41
Speaker 2: Hard Final Segment, one last thing before we call it
30:46
Speaker 2: a day, Bucky, what do you go?
30:48
Speaker 1: I am just going to go out there.
30:49
Speaker 3: I don't typically make a whole bunch of projections when
30:53
Speaker 3: it comes to coaching vacancies because I don't know these gms.
30:56
Speaker 1: I don't know who they're looking for, what they're looking for.
30:59
Speaker 3: But a while ago, i'd read an article when the
31:02
Speaker 3: after Black Monday and Clint Kubiak got started getting thrown
31:05
Speaker 3: into the mix. And I think we mentioned on the
31:07
Speaker 3: show or you and I talked about that article that
31:09
Speaker 3: was saying Lamar Jackson wants Clint Kubiak. I've seen another
31:16
Speaker 3: thing recently. I think it was yesterday that I saw
31:18
Speaker 3: it where the bills that he's on the bills Radar
31:22
Speaker 3: as well both. I would say those are probably the
31:24
Speaker 3: top two teams as far as what you would want
31:27
Speaker 3: if you're a head coach, or because of the quarterback play,
31:30
Speaker 3: because you don't have to worry about, well, do we
31:31
Speaker 3: have a quarterback to get this thing done. So for
31:34
Speaker 3: an offensive minded guy that could come in there and
31:37
Speaker 3: be able to take the helm, especially if for your
31:39
Speaker 3: first one, I think it would be I think that
31:41
Speaker 3: a Clint Kubiak would not take the Arizona job, for example,
31:45
Speaker 3: or maybe even the Raiders job, because you're like, really,
31:48
Speaker 3: that's how I want to kick off my head coaching career.
31:51
Speaker 3: Something that feels like the deck stacked against me versus.
31:54
Speaker 1: One of these.
31:55
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be willing to bet if he's offered one
31:57
Speaker 3: of the lesser desirable, less desirable opportunities, I think he's like, well,
32:03
Speaker 3: I'll just stay here.
32:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:04
Speaker 3: But if he's offered one of those, I'd be willing
32:06
Speaker 3: to bet that he ends up taking it.
32:07
Speaker 1: And so that's my guess. I'll bet you he is.
32:10
Speaker 3: One of the fact that the Bills are saying we're
32:13
Speaker 3: not in a hurry, we're gonna let this play out,
32:15
Speaker 3: and the fact that the Ravens haven't made any decisions
32:19
Speaker 3: yet either. I think that both those teams could be
32:21
Speaker 3: in on Clint Kubak, and if they offer him the job,
32:23
Speaker 3: I bet he takes it.
32:23
Speaker 2: Turns out I am phenomenal, merely perfect at predicting who's
32:29
Speaker 2: going to get fired, and terrible, merely worthless at picking
32:34
Speaker 2: where they're going to go oh okay or who they're
32:36
Speaker 2: going to have it right.
32:37
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, if I was to try to pick all
32:40
Speaker 3: of them that would get fired or should get fired,
32:43
Speaker 3: and then where everyone will end up, I would be over.
32:46
Speaker 2: I'm certain, Ashley. What do you got for one last thing?
32:50
Speaker 6: I mean, have you guys noticed because especially for work,
32:52
Speaker 6: we spent a lot of time with the Twitter or
32:55
Speaker 6: ex browser up.
32:57
Speaker 4: Have you noticed that?
32:57
Speaker 7: Now?
32:59
Speaker 6: I don't know what they've done, but you can't get
33:01
Speaker 6: tweets in chronological order anymore, and it doesn't tell you
33:04
Speaker 6: when there's new tweets available, so you just have to
33:06
Speaker 6: keep hitting refresh on your browser. And then still then
33:10
Speaker 6: there's no order to the tweets that are coming in.
33:12
Speaker 2: Well, it's a complete algorithm as created by the founder. Yeah,
33:19
Speaker 2: and he's trying to isolate what you watch the most,
33:22
Speaker 2: which is BS because they will throw things that they
33:26
Speaker 2: want you to see at the beginning of your timeline.
33:29
Speaker 2: And so if you at the beginning, like I log
33:32
Speaker 2: on and I go to the timeline, and then I
33:34
Speaker 2: get distracted. I want to do a little research on
33:36
Speaker 2: something else. But I called it up, and if the
33:39
Speaker 2: screen stays frozen on right right now, I have a
33:42
Speaker 2: woman getting up at sixty six years old getting a facelift. Yeah,
33:46
Speaker 2: and the process I'm not interested in that, I've never
33:49
Speaker 2: called up anything even then, resembles that. But now my
33:52
Speaker 2: entire timeline, because it's been stuck on that will now
33:55
Speaker 2: be like every other thing will be old ladies getting facelifts.
33:59
Speaker 2: So it's an awry. So it's not about chronological, it's
34:02
Speaker 2: now an they're trying to predict what it is that
34:05
Speaker 2: you want. But it's such a flawed system it thissses
34:08
Speaker 2: me off.
34:08
Speaker 6: Well, I just brought this up so that we could complain,
34:10
Speaker 6: and I just figured out because I was like, you
34:12
Speaker 6: used to be able to just make it to be recent,
34:14
Speaker 6: and I realized that now they just moved where you
34:16
Speaker 6: can do it.
34:16
Speaker 4: I just found it really so at the top.
34:18
Speaker 6: Where it says following and for you there's a little
34:20
Speaker 6: down arrow that I've never seen until this very moment.
34:23
Speaker 4: You just click on that and put recent.
34:25
Speaker 6: Okay, and now your timeline should be more recent, because
34:28
Speaker 6: it's been driving me crazy for.
34:29
Speaker 2: Two weeks, always been driving me crazy ever since I
34:32
Speaker 2: was forced to use it.
34:34
Speaker 6: So now hopefully I put that once and it'll be
34:36
Speaker 6: there and I feel smarter.
34:38
Speaker 2: Okay, now you're better off.
34:39
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, so everyone tries.
34:41
Speaker 2: I still think the algorithm is going to affect Oh.
34:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still. Don't expect it'll put random things in there.
34:45
Speaker 2: Don't expect it to go in any order. And I'm
34:47
Speaker 2: telling you make sure when you log on the first time,
34:50
Speaker 2: make sure there's not some sort of like German porn
34:53
Speaker 2: on there.
34:53
Speaker 4: I'm going to try real hard to make sure that's
34:55
Speaker 4: not all.
34:56
Speaker 2: Otherwise they'll think you're uh German porn desirer. That's yeah, yeah.
35:03
Speaker 4: Far from me.
35:03
Speaker 6: Everyone knows I prefer Italian born.
35:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to close with this. I had something
35:14
Speaker 2: else entirely, but I can't resist this one. So apparently
35:17
Speaker 2: Jeanie Buss has had enough. She's drawn a line in
35:20
Speaker 2: the sand. She like wants to sell the Lakers and
35:22
Speaker 2: everything else and it's because of Lebron, and she's like
35:25
Speaker 2: air and all the dirty laundry. According to a story
35:30
Speaker 2: she's been She's grumbled about Lebron's outsized ego. She's felt
35:35
Speaker 2: that clutch Extent exerted too much control, that's his agency
35:40
Speaker 2: over the organization. She didn't like how Lebron was considered
35:43
Speaker 2: the savior of the organization. She didn't like the lack
35:46
Speaker 2: of accountability over the Westbrook trade. She privately mused about
35:51
Speaker 2: not giving him a contract extension and even trading him.
35:54
Speaker 2: She felt Lebron was not grateful the Lakers drafted Bronni
35:57
Speaker 2: and begrudgingly she gave him a contract extent and fearing
36:00
Speaker 2: a bad pr hit. I don't have any doubt that
36:05
Speaker 2: Lebron is guilty of all of these things. And I
36:08
Speaker 2: like Lebron, and I don't doubt that he's been guilty
36:11
Speaker 2: of all of these things. But here's what's I find
36:14
Speaker 2: just colossally stupid. Why did you let him do any
36:19
Speaker 2: of this? Correct, you're the owner, here's an idea. Don't
36:24
Speaker 2: draft Bronny trade him if you don't like him. Your
36:28
Speaker 2: fan base didn't like him. It was the NBA that
36:31
Speaker 2: wanted him to be on the Lakers because he got
36:34
Speaker 2: TV ratings because he's Lebron. Don't let him be the
36:38
Speaker 2: GM and make trades for Westbrook guys that you don't
36:42
Speaker 2: want on the roster. Why did you ever let him
36:46
Speaker 2: think that he was the savior? You're the freaking Los
36:49
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers, for goodness sake. Why did you let his
36:53
Speaker 2: agency have any control over your organization and what you did?
36:57
Speaker 2: And why did you let his ego get so far
37:00
Speaker 2: out of control? You're the owner. Here's what I would
37:04
Speaker 2: have done, not allowed any of those things and then
37:08
Speaker 2: not made it public my problems with him. That's what
37:11
Speaker 2: I would have done.
37:13
Speaker 1: Novel idea.
37:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost like you did have control over those things.
37:18
Speaker 2: I'm not defending Lebron.
37:19
Speaker 4: I didn't actually control any of the things, and.
37:22
Speaker 2: I'm not defending him. I mean, I'm a fan of him,
37:24
Speaker 2: I will always be a fan of him. But I'm
37:26
Speaker 2: I guarantee you all of those things happen, and none
37:29
Speaker 2: of those things should have been allowed to happen, not
37:32
Speaker 2: a single one of them. And it's because you're a crappy, horrible, terrible,
37:37
Speaker 2: one of the worst owners ever in the NBA. Is
37:41
Speaker 2: why you allowed that to happen, and you got walked
37:44
Speaker 2: all no, all over by one of the players on
37:47
Speaker 2: your team. How about that?
37:49
Speaker 3: And then at the income out and express your displeasure
37:53
Speaker 3: to the public about it when it's like you kind
37:55
Speaker 3: of yeah, you allowed it, You allowed all.
37:58
Speaker 4: You're the ball and to blame for it, and it's
38:01
Speaker 4: not Lebron, it's actually you.
38:02
Speaker 2: It's you.
38:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you could have said no.
38:04
Speaker 2: So go ahead and sell your dad's team that he
38:07
Speaker 2: made famous, take your ten billion dollars and complain about
38:11
Speaker 2: Lebron for the rest of your life. But you're the problem.
38:15
Speaker 1: Huh.
