- 1:02Speaker 4: three point three k j R f M. Here on
- 1:04Speaker 4: this home day, Oh, one of the busiest shows in
- 1:07Speaker 4: the history of Chucking Buck in the Morning. We've got
- 1:09Speaker 4: it all mapped out for you can't wait to tell
- 1:12Speaker 4: you about it with what's on tap here. In a
- 1:14Speaker 4: matter of seconds, we've been at breaking news from the
- 1:16Speaker 4: baseball world, which we will share with you coming up
- 1:19Speaker 4: here in a little bit. But let's face it, it
- 1:22Speaker 4: is Draftmas season and we shall celebrate.
- 1:31Speaker 5: It's the most wonderful.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Time building it along.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Hello, Old Tree Hotter.
- 1:43Speaker 5: I love that movie.
- 1:44Speaker 4: Oh why why, why, why?
- 1:49Speaker 7: Why?
- 1:49Speaker 4: You want that moon? I'll throw a lasso around it.
- 1:54Speaker 4: I'll get it for you. Good morning to George. Welcome
- 1:59Speaker 4: into the radio program. Yes, it is Draftmas season and
- 2:03Speaker 4: we are going to have time to do the Draftmas catalog.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Now that's it for the rest of the show. This
- 2:09Speaker 4: is the only time that we have to dive to
- 2:11Speaker 4: do the Draftmaus catalog. So that's what we'll dive into
- 2:14Speaker 4: on a very busy Wednesday. When I say we, I
- 2:16Speaker 4: mean Ashley Ryan and myself. My name is Chuck Powello
- 2:19Speaker 4: Bucky Jacobson here today, and yet we trudge along with
- 2:24Speaker 4: a very very exciting game plan for you today.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Yes, indeed we had a lot to talk about it.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot to do, a lot to do. So
- 2:31Speaker 4: the Draftmas catalog is a big part of our Draftmas celebration.
- 2:35Speaker 4: What is Draftmas? That is our week, excuse me, month
- 2:38Speaker 4: long countdown to the NFL Draft, something that I believe
- 2:42Speaker 4: smacks very much of Christmas. There are draft picks waiting
- 2:46Speaker 4: for us that we will learn, we will get to
- 2:48Speaker 4: unwrap from Schneider Claus on Draft Day, which is now
- 2:52Speaker 4: fifteen days away, and on that day all of that
- 2:57Speaker 4: speculation will be over. And so it feels very much
- 3:01Speaker 4: like draft. There's a lot like Christmas. There's just a
- 3:03Speaker 4: lot of build up, there's a lot of hype, there's
- 3:05Speaker 4: a lot of rumor, there's a lot of speculation, and
- 3:09Speaker 4: we will, we know, get our payoff during Draft week
- 3:12Speaker 4: fifteen days from today. So every year, the Draftmas Catalog
- 3:16Speaker 4: goes out and we on this show take one persit
- 3:20Speaker 4: one position every other day on the radio program to discuss.
- 3:26Speaker 4: And then there are Schneiderbuck values placed next to each
- 3:30Speaker 4: one of the players. Because Ashley she's putting together her
- 3:33Speaker 4: wish list for draft season for the Seahawks, she will
- 3:36Speaker 4: circus circle one player each from the position groups. Doesn't
- 3:41Speaker 4: mean that she has to commit to them, but nonetheless
- 3:44Speaker 4: she circles them in the draft catalog. And by the
- 3:46Speaker 4: end of this process, I will hold her to coming
- 3:49Speaker 4: up with a draft plan for the Seahawks and she
- 3:52Speaker 4: can spend no more than seven schneider Bucks. This year's
- 3:56Speaker 4: usually twelve.
- 3:57Speaker 5: That is the tricky part.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Usually it's twelve, but seven schneider Bucks are hers to spend.
- 4:02Speaker 4: And then I have offered to dangle one more bonus
- 4:06Speaker 4: Schneiderbuck if she does want to trade a piece from
- 4:09Speaker 4: the future. So all that said, let's dive in because,
- 4:13Speaker 4: as I mentioned a couple of times, we got a
- 4:15Speaker 4: lot to do today, and we are going to go
- 4:17Speaker 4: with a linebacker group here this morning, and we will
- 4:21Speaker 4: start at the top, even though this guy's probably not
- 4:24Speaker 4: a candidate to be taken by the Seahawks. And that
- 4:28Speaker 4: is Sonny Styles Number one. You just got to love
- 4:30Speaker 4: the name. He sounds like some sort of like seventies
- 4:34Speaker 4: you know, detective television character.
- 4:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Oh hey, did you see Sonny Styles last night? Oh? Man,
- 4:41Speaker 4: Oh great show, great episode.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Yeah, the way that he had to just apprehend that
- 4:46Speaker 1: suspect by jumping over the mailboxes, yes, and slid over
- 4:50Speaker 1: the hood of the car.
- 4:51Speaker 4: You know who I really like on that Sunny Styles
- 4:53Speaker 4: is that sidekick Hirk. He's funny herk Yeah, yeah done.
- 4:58Speaker 4: He sounded like a seventiese active Yeah, Sunny Styles, but
- 5:02Speaker 4: he's not. It's not in his draft profile. He's out
- 5:06Speaker 4: of Ohio State. He's six foot five inches tall, two
- 5:09Speaker 4: hundred and forty four pounds as a linebacker, like an
- 5:12Speaker 4: interior linebacker, physical freak, four point four six forty times
- 5:17Speaker 4: forty three and a half inch vertical leap, eleven foot
- 5:20Speaker 4: two inch broad jump. This might be the best player
- 5:25Speaker 4: at his position in the draft. I know a lot
- 5:28Speaker 4: of people would argue for something else, so at I frankly,
- 5:31Speaker 4: but he's in the conversation and he might be the
- 5:34Speaker 4: best athlete for his size in the draft period. He
- 5:38Speaker 4: was off to a bit of a slow start at
- 5:40Speaker 4: Ohio State. He actually started as a safety, believe it
- 5:43Speaker 4: or not at that size, but he began to find
- 5:46Speaker 4: his groove after a I wouldn't even call it a
- 5:49Speaker 4: rough start because he was still productive, but he was
- 5:52Speaker 4: productive out of sheer athleticism. But Ohio State, obviously he's
- 5:56Speaker 4: had a run of success and he's been a starter
- 5:58Speaker 4: for three years at linebacker. But there are a lot
- 6:01Speaker 4: of people that think that's a positive. They think that
- 6:03Speaker 4: maybe he's just now starting to really get a feel
- 6:07Speaker 4: for the position. And so despite the great player that
- 6:11Speaker 4: you saw at Ohio State the last three years, there's
- 6:15Speaker 4: this belief that there's a lot more upside that he
- 6:18Speaker 4: can still reach. They think he's a bit of an
- 6:20Speaker 4: untapped talent. At this point doesn't always play with urgency. Again,
- 6:24Speaker 4: that's something I think can be you know, that can
- 6:28Speaker 4: be learned through the NFL process and having to answer
- 6:32Speaker 4: to not only coaches but also veterans who expect that
- 6:35Speaker 4: out of you. And let's face it, if you watched
- 6:38Speaker 4: the Ohisle State Buckeyes play at all and they did
- 6:41Speaker 4: play you dub this past year, i mean he was
- 6:44Speaker 4: impossible game. Yeah, he was impossible not to notice. I
- 6:48Speaker 4: mean he just stands out and the and he's done
- 6:53Speaker 4: that way for the last three years. Great tackler as well,
- 6:56Speaker 4: which is certainly what you want out of a linebacker.
- 6:59Speaker 4: This is going to be like a top ten pick,
- 7:02Speaker 4: maybe even a top five the way that people are
- 7:04Speaker 4: talking about him. And so you know, when you got
- 7:06Speaker 4: seven Schneider bucks to spend, and I'm gonna tell you
- 7:09Speaker 4: it's gonna cost you six to get Sunny Styles, You're
- 7:12Speaker 4: pretty much gonna have to package together your entire draft
- 7:15Speaker 4: to move up as high it would take to get him.
- 7:18Speaker 4: And I'm not sure anybody's doing that for a linebacker.
- 7:21Speaker 4: That said, somebody's gonna be very happy near the top
- 7:24Speaker 4: of the draft to get Sunny Styles. And we can't
- 7:27Speaker 4: go through the draft miss catalog without it at least
- 7:29Speaker 4: chronicling the best player available.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Yeah, you always look in the catalog and think, that's
- 7:34Speaker 1: what I want. If I had all the money in
- 7:36Speaker 1: the world, that's what I'd get.
- 7:39Speaker 4: I mean, I want the bouncy castle. But I will
- 7:43Speaker 4: settle because I know things are a little tight around
- 7:46Speaker 4: here with Santa's budget. I will settle for toss across
- 7:50Speaker 4: there you go.
- 7:50Speaker 5: See, so you've got to You always look.
- 7:52Speaker 1: At and you circle the dream, right, they be like, okay, well,
- 7:56Speaker 1: let's be practical.
- 7:57Speaker 4: I'm ten uh three dollars nighter bucks can get you.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Anthony Hill Junior. Now this is somebody that might actually
- 8:04Speaker 4: last till the thirty second pick in the draft where
- 8:06Speaker 4: the Seahawks select. He's out of Texas. He's six feet
- 8:09Speaker 4: two inches tall, two hundred and thirty eight pounds. He
- 8:12Speaker 4: ran a four to five one forty and had a
- 8:14Speaker 4: ten and a half inch vert excuse me, a ten
- 8:16Speaker 4: and a half inch broad jump. I mean, this guy's
- 8:20Speaker 4: kind of a premiere athletic specimen two, but his numbers
- 8:26Speaker 4: pale in comparison to such a large degree to Sonny styles.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I mean, he you know it looks like your aunt Carrol.
- 8:33Speaker 5: It just looks normal.
- 8:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he just looks you know, well, look at
- 8:36Speaker 4: this big hip, slow son of a gun. Uh No,
- 8:39Speaker 4: he's actually a very good athlete himself. Just hard to
- 8:43Speaker 4: you know, see that when you're compared to six foot
- 8:46Speaker 4: five inch two hundred and forty four pounds. Sunny Styles
- 8:49Speaker 4: a significant contributor as a freshman right out of the
- 8:53Speaker 4: bat for Texas, which has been a good program, a
- 8:55Speaker 4: great program. He then started and starred the next years
- 9:00Speaker 4: for the Longhorns. He had sixteen and a half tackles
- 9:03Speaker 4: for loss as a true sophomore in twenty twenty four,
- 9:07Speaker 4: plus four forced fumbles and sometimes those can be I
- 9:11Speaker 4: guess a little bit flucish, But it turns out Anthony
- 9:14Speaker 4: Hill Junior has a talent for jarn the ball loose,
- 9:17Speaker 4: because he had three the following year. Wow. So that's
- 9:20Speaker 4: seven forced fumbles in two seasons for Texas from Anthony
- 9:25Speaker 4: Hill Junior. Lance Zerline of NFL dot Com and they
- 9:30Speaker 4: always come up with these comps. His comp for Anthony
- 9:33Speaker 4: Hill Junior is Bobby Wagner.
- 9:36Speaker 6: Oh.
- 9:37Speaker 5: I like that.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Yeah, doesn't come off the field. He is athletic and
- 9:42Speaker 4: yet also instinctive. What a great combination for a linebacker.
- 9:47Speaker 4: Just a really good football player and perhaps a luxury
- 9:51Speaker 4: pick if he were to fall to the Hawks at
- 9:53Speaker 4: number thirty two. I don't think anybody sees linebacker as
- 9:56Speaker 4: a position of you know, ultimate need for the Seahawks.
- 10:00Speaker 4: But is he the type that if you can't move
- 10:03Speaker 4: out of that spot you're sitting at number thirty two,
- 10:06Speaker 4: he's the best player on your board, even though it's
- 10:08Speaker 4: not a position of need. I mean, is it out
- 10:10Speaker 4: of the question that they would take the next Bobby
- 10:12Speaker 4: Wagner No at number thirty two. I wouldn't count on it,
- 10:16Speaker 4: but I don't think it's out of the question. That's
- 10:18Speaker 4: why I'm putting him in the draft. Miss Catalog might
- 10:21Speaker 4: not even make it to thirty two, but I'm still
- 10:23Speaker 4: going to folu him as a thirty second overall pick
- 10:26Speaker 4: in the draft, which will cost you three Schneiderbucks. All right,
- 10:29Speaker 4: let's move on. Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech should
- 10:33Speaker 4: be a familiar name to all of you if you
- 10:34Speaker 4: watch college football this year, because his face was all
- 10:38Speaker 4: over the place this past season. Six foot one, two
- 10:41Speaker 4: hundred and thirty one pounds, Yes, he was a prominent
- 10:45Speaker 4: figure of the college football season, one of the top
- 10:47Speaker 4: characters if you were to write a movie about this
- 10:50Speaker 4: past season. And yet he's not without athleticism. Four point
- 10:54Speaker 4: five seven forty thirty eight and a half inch vert
- 10:58Speaker 4: at the combine. This guy a converted quarterback for goodness sake,
- 11:02Speaker 4: which shows you the athleticism that he possesses. And in
- 11:06Speaker 4: terms of production, not even Sunny Styles was as productive
- 11:10Speaker 4: as Jacob Rodriguez at the college level National Defensive Player
- 11:14Speaker 4: of the Year his final season, obviously, Butkeus Award winner,
- 11:17Speaker 4: which goes to the best linebacker. Dude was not only
- 11:21Speaker 4: a Heisman Trophy candidate in twenty twenty five, he finished
- 11:25Speaker 4: fifth in the voting as a linebacker. Fifth in the voting.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Two hundred and fifty five tackles over the course of
- 11:34Speaker 4: the last two seasons combined, and he picked off four
- 11:37Speaker 4: passes this year, So I mean he disrupted everything. Plus
- 11:41Speaker 4: he's married to an Army helicopter pilot. I mean, this
- 11:44Speaker 4: guy's just got Michael McDonald.
- 11:46Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a saint.
- 11:47Speaker 4: Cartoon heart's just floating around his head. I mean, you know,
- 11:50Speaker 4: Mike McDonald loves this guy. Whether he drafts him. I
- 11:53Speaker 4: don't know, but you know that he likes the mentality
- 11:56Speaker 4: and the makeup and a lot of the things that
- 11:59Speaker 4: he does on the field. And I hadn't even gotten
- 12:00Speaker 4: to the best part. The mustache. I mean it might
- 12:06Speaker 4: rank I am sorry, Sam Elliott, I am sorry Wyatt
- 12:10Speaker 4: ir Wow. I am sorry, Tom Selleck. Jacob Rodriga's mustache
- 12:15Speaker 4: might be the greatest mustache in the history of mustaches.
- 12:20Speaker 4: It makes Magnum p ies look like peachazz. I mean,
- 12:24Speaker 4: it is something. It's got its own area.
- 12:26Speaker 5: Code, ope, Bucky's Mom's nealysis.
- 12:29Speaker 4: It's got a pulse to it. And then he puts
- 12:31Speaker 4: on the black cowboy hat when he walks around Lubbock,
- 12:34Speaker 4: Texas with that giant, you know, broomstick on his face.
- 12:40Speaker 4: And yes, Jacob Rodrigue is known for his mustache. Now,
- 12:43Speaker 4: there's got to be some negative to him because he
- 12:46Speaker 4: wants to make every tackle. He sometimes over pursues. He
- 12:49Speaker 4: had some coverage bus at the worst time for Texas
- 12:53Speaker 4: Tech Like in the playoffs, he did not play that
- 12:55Speaker 4: well against Oregon, and he is a bit undersized. Aside
- 12:59Speaker 4: from the mustache. That is that is right otherworldly, that
- 13:03Speaker 4: is perfect. Yeah, that's global, that's titanic, it's cosmic. It
- 13:08Speaker 4: actually is celestial.
- 13:10Speaker 1: It looks like one of the mustaches you'd buy if
- 13:12Speaker 1: he wanted to have a fake mustache. Yeah, but that's
- 13:15Speaker 1: coming out of his way like a Mario brother. Yeah,
- 13:19Speaker 1: not even thicker than that.
- 13:20Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So two schneiderbucks would get you the
- 13:24Speaker 4: very famous Jacob Rodriguez and his mustage.
- 13:27Speaker 5: Right, two dollars you said, yep, all right.
- 13:29Speaker 4: For a single Schneider Buck, And this means you're gonna
- 13:32Speaker 4: possibly get this guy early in day number three, Harold
- 13:36Speaker 4: Perkins Junior out of LSU. Interesting profile on this dude,
- 13:40Speaker 4: six foot one inches tall, two hundred and twenty three pounds.
- 13:43Speaker 4: This is another freakish athlete at off ball linebacker. Now
- 13:50Speaker 4: his athleticism took a hit. He had a twenty twenty
- 13:52Speaker 4: four ACL tear which slowed him a bit for his
- 13:56Speaker 4: final season. Now, whether or not he was just favoring
- 13:59Speaker 4: it because he didn't want to hurt it again, or
- 14:01Speaker 4: if he had some sort of psychological thing, or if
- 14:03Speaker 4: it never did heal the way that it should, I
- 14:06Speaker 4: don't know. That's going to be up to the organizations
- 14:08Speaker 4: to try to figure that out, but before that a
- 14:11Speaker 4: premiere playmaker in the SEC. He had thirteen and a
- 14:15Speaker 4: half tackles for loss as a freshman, then he had
- 14:18Speaker 4: another thirteen and a half as a sophomore, Then he
- 14:21Speaker 4: got injured during his junior year, came back as a
- 14:24Speaker 4: senior and only had eight tackles for loss. Don't see
- 14:26Speaker 4: a lot of guys whose worst season is their last
- 14:29Speaker 4: season when they were a four year starter at a
- 14:32Speaker 4: prominent program like LSU. He has a bit undersized, he
- 14:37Speaker 4: does miss tackles on occasion, and he has been knocked
- 14:40Speaker 4: for sometimes looking confused in coverage. So that's why we're
- 14:44Speaker 4: talking about a Day three linebacker here. Plus the injury,
- 14:47Speaker 4: which has to be a concern if it slowed him
- 14:50Speaker 4: that much for his final year. But when he played
- 14:53Speaker 4: special teams at LSU, he was a flat out demon
- 14:56Speaker 4: when it came to special teams. Might be the way
- 14:58Speaker 4: that he starts his career, and you know how much
- 15:00Speaker 4: the Seahawks value special teams. But this could be a
- 15:03Speaker 4: Day three steal. I mean, if he really was just
- 15:06Speaker 4: favoring the leg and he can get that back to
- 15:08Speaker 4: one hundred percent, we're talking about another freakish athlete who
- 15:11Speaker 4: was productive as an eighteen and nineteen year old starting
- 15:15Speaker 4: linebacker for a premier program in a premier conference. So
- 15:19Speaker 4: Harold Perkins Junior is somebody that I think you should
- 15:22Speaker 4: keep an eye on. And then finally from the fifty
- 15:25Speaker 4: cent pages and this is going to be your sixth
- 15:27Speaker 4: or seventh rounders, I present to you Bryce Betcher out
- 15:31Speaker 4: of Oregon six foot one inches tall, two hundred and
- 15:34Speaker 4: thirty pounds. I think known more for playing baseball. Seems
- 15:39Speaker 4: like it's all the broadcasters talked about at the Combine,
- 15:43Speaker 4: and during all of his games with Oregon, he didn't
- 15:46Speaker 4: even hit over two hundred until his senior year.
- 15:49Speaker 5: They're real into him there.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Yeah, but he did get drafted, So he's got the
- 15:52Speaker 4: chance to get drafted in both sports here in the
- 15:54Speaker 4: same year, which is pretty cool. That would have been fun. Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 4: that'd been fun as an athlete, Mike, And of course
- 16:01Speaker 4: it played for the Ducks and you know, yeah, they're
- 16:04Speaker 4: always over hyping cla. Yeah. Extremely aggressive football player though.
- 16:09Speaker 4: I mean he's like that kid on the playground that
- 16:12Speaker 4: had too much sugar and he will head butt everyone
- 16:16Speaker 4: in the sandbox, even though he doesn't do it out
- 16:18Speaker 4: of malice. It's just like he's just big and aggressive
- 16:22Speaker 4: and clumsy and the next thing you know, you know,
- 16:25Speaker 4: your daughter's got a black eye because he had head
- 16:29Speaker 4: butter on the jungle gym. Yeah, that's the type of
- 16:32Speaker 4: that's the way he plays football. And that aggression, as
- 16:35Speaker 4: you might expect, can be a positive trade in football
- 16:39Speaker 4: the beehive aspect of the game playing defense, but it
- 16:42Speaker 4: could also be a negative and often has been cited
- 16:45Speaker 4: as a negative as well, as Betcher has been accused
- 16:49Speaker 4: of being out of position at times. He definitely profiles
- 16:54Speaker 4: as a special teamer and perhaps a special team demon
- 16:57Speaker 4: with that kind of attitude toward football, and it really
- 17:00Speaker 4: sounds like his futures more in football than it is
- 17:03Speaker 4: in baseball. So I don't think that gets in the
- 17:05Speaker 4: way of a team drafting him. But maybe I don't
- 17:08Speaker 4: have the right sources. So there you go. Those are
- 17:10Speaker 4: your I can't go through the mall, so I pick
- 17:13Speaker 4: one from each one of the financial groupings, and now
- 17:17Speaker 4: I leave it to Ashley to circle which linebacker she
- 17:20Speaker 4: might be interested in out of the draft miss catalog.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Well, because I don't have to make a final decision
- 17:24Speaker 1: right now, and really put my budget together I'm going
- 17:26Speaker 1: to tell you I'd rather I'd like to spend that
- 17:28Speaker 1: two dollars on Jacob Rodriguez. Okay, I mean between the
- 17:33Speaker 1: actual skills and the mustache.
- 17:37Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, sign me up for two bucks. I
- 17:39Speaker 5: feel like that's a steal.
- 17:40Speaker 4: I like every single person that I just mentioned, Yeah,
- 17:43Speaker 4: the Seahawks in this draft, miss catalog.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Well before you said that, I was going to go
- 17:46Speaker 1: with Anthony Hill Junior, before you got to Jacob Rodrigez.
- 17:49Speaker 5: So really it just went all the way down as
- 17:51Speaker 5: I was like, oh, yeah, no, that one, No, that one.
- 17:52Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that one. I wrote all of this and
- 17:55Speaker 4: was recapping it live on the air, and I changed
- 17:57Speaker 4: my mind with each one of them. I'm gonna go
- 18:00Speaker 4: with Harold Perkins Junior, and not just to be different,
- 18:04Speaker 4: but maybe maybe a little bit to be different, because
- 18:08Speaker 4: I have a feeling if he's last until day number
- 18:10Speaker 4: three with that high end speed, if he passes the
- 18:13Speaker 4: medical with the Seahawks, the special team's background, the ability
- 18:18Speaker 4: to possibly get some sort of freakish productive athlete, and
- 18:21Speaker 4: he's not as injured, he's not injured anymore, I mean
- 18:25Speaker 4: that could be a steal for them. So I like
- 18:27Speaker 4: every single one of them. I can see the Seahawks.
- 18:29Speaker 4: I mean, they can't get Sunny Styles, but I know
- 18:31Speaker 4: they want Sonny Styles. Who wouldn't want Sonny Styles? But
- 18:34Speaker 4: I could see if Anthony Hill drop there, They're just like,
- 18:37Speaker 4: screw it, let's just take him.
- 18:39Speaker 1: I have a feeling if on the day of having
- 18:41Speaker 1: to make my actual decision, I will also be going
- 18:44Speaker 1: with Harold Perkins.
- 18:45Speaker 5: But as I said today, money doesn't matter.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Yeah, money doesn't matter. Just circle who you want and
- 18:50Speaker 4: the Draftmas catalog and then we'll sort it out from there.
- 18:52Speaker 4: So all right, there you go. We've got more Draftmas
- 18:54Speaker 4: stuff coming up on the show today. Let's find out
- 18:57Speaker 4: what else is on tap, what's on TEP, what's on tap?
- 19:04Speaker 4: I don't know what it is about this pipe, but
- 19:06Speaker 4: I'm not even I don't even have it in my mouth.
- 19:09Speaker 4: It's just a prop, yeah, for the Draftmas, for our
- 19:12Speaker 4: YouTubers out there, and yet it makes me slur my words.
- 19:16Speaker 4: I don't even know why notice that. No, Like I
- 19:19Speaker 4: was going through, I like couldn't spit things out there
- 19:21Speaker 4: at the beginning, and I didn't even have it in
- 19:23Speaker 4: my mouth.
- 19:23Speaker 5: I didn't notice that.
- 19:24Speaker 4: It's like I was imagining having it in mind. All right,
- 19:28Speaker 4: what's on tap for today? Show? Draft is in fifteen days.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Greg Bell's a slot with us, and we're gonna hear
- 19:34Speaker 4: a lot more from him the closer we get to
- 19:36Speaker 4: the draft. But for this week, we're gonna have him
- 19:39Speaker 4: on on his Wednesday slot. So we will ring the draft,
- 19:43Speaker 4: Miss Bells for Greg Bell at seven oh five today.
- 19:46Speaker 4: Maybe he'll tell maybe did he get to go to
- 19:48Speaker 4: the Sam Darnold wedding. Maybe he went to the Sam
- 19:51Speaker 4: darning Probably, maybe he met Hailey Steinfeld. I don't know, yeah, probably,
- 19:56Speaker 4: But I do appreciate Sam getting into the spirit of things.
- 20:00Speaker 4: He got married on draft. Miss I can't tell you
- 20:02Speaker 4: how touch I am Sam that you decided to do
- 20:06Speaker 4: this and so, and yet I'm a little disappointed in
- 20:10Speaker 4: the wife who had to wait till he was a
- 20:12Speaker 4: Super Bowl champion before she fully committed. I think that's
- 20:17Speaker 4: really short sighted, Missus Darnold.
- 20:19Speaker 5: I feel like you know what she knows what she wants,
- 20:21Speaker 5: and she wants a championship.
- 20:22Speaker 4: You become a champion first, and then we'll think.
- 20:24Speaker 5: About Yeah, then we'll talk.
- 20:28Speaker 4: I'm not gonna marry some journeyman bounced around to the
- 20:32Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers and couldn't stick.
- 20:33Speaker 1: I need to make sure the twenty twenty four wasn't
- 20:36Speaker 1: a fluke for you in Minnesota.
- 20:38Speaker 4: One other note from the draft, Fernando Mendoza is not
- 20:40Speaker 4: going to attend, So the number one pick in the draft,
- 20:43Speaker 4: at least expected to be the number one pick in
- 20:46Speaker 4: the draft, is not going to be at the ceremonies
- 20:49Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. He's decided to spend that time with his family,
- 20:53Speaker 4: which I don't mind at all you dubbed springball continues.
- 20:56Speaker 4: If you missed our conversation with Jed Fish, a very
- 20:59Speaker 4: interesting one. Yes, you can find that on our podcast
- 21:01Speaker 4: ninety three to three KJR dot com. The transfer portal
- 21:04Speaker 4: has opened in college basketball. Didn't take very long, but
- 21:08Speaker 4: even the national champion Michigan has to get to work,
- 21:11Speaker 4: especially them because they built their champion around the transfer portal,
- 21:16Speaker 4: so they seem to be pretty good at it. Also,
- 21:19Speaker 4: Geno Oriema and Dawn Staley got together after the controversy
- 21:23Speaker 4: in the Final four, and Gino pretty much fell on
- 21:26Speaker 4: the sword like I was completely in the wrong, And
- 21:28Speaker 4: it sounds like those two have kissed and made up,
- 21:31Speaker 4: so good for both of them, and good for Gino
- 21:34Speaker 4: to realize I was brat in that situation and I
- 21:37Speaker 4: want to make it right. Krack and lost to Minnesota
- 21:40Speaker 4: and so the crack and just moving closer and closer
- 21:42Speaker 4: to official elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Picture al
- 21:47Speaker 4: Kiniski will join us today at nine point thirty to
- 21:49Speaker 4: talk about this team that really is not exactly going
- 21:52Speaker 4: out with a bang. We are on the eve of
- 21:54Speaker 4: the Masters. We will celebrate it in many ways. The
- 21:56Speaker 4: Major Golf Challenge is there for you to fill out
- 21:58Speaker 4: at ninety three to three k dot com. We have
- 22:01Speaker 4: a green Jacket draft today to preview the tournament at
- 22:04Speaker 4: nine o'clock, and Brady Cannon, the Las Vegas golfer himself,
- 22:08Speaker 4: will join us at eight o'clock. If you're thinking about
- 22:10Speaker 4: putting a couple, you know, jellybeans down on the Masters,
- 22:13Speaker 4: he's the guy you want to listen to. The Pittsburgh
- 22:17Speaker 4: Pirates have made nineteen year old Connor Griffin a young man.
- 22:20Speaker 4: This morning. We will discuss that before the show comes
- 22:23Speaker 4: to a close today, because it does sort of highlight
- 22:27Speaker 4: why the Mariners wanted to get Colt Emerson locked up.
- 22:30Speaker 4: We'll discuss that and speaking of the Mariners, they lost again,
- 22:33Speaker 4: four straight losses for the MS. They lost to the
- 22:35Speaker 4: Texas Rangers last night three to two. We'll recap it
- 22:38Speaker 4: for you next Mariners morning after on Chuck and Buck
- 22:41Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right, good
- 23:01Speaker 4: morning to you. It is Chuck and Ashley with you,
- 23:05Speaker 4: and Bucky is out here today. I'm sure you heard
- 23:08Speaker 4: that he's got some medical tests that he's going through.
- 23:11Speaker 4: It's nothing big, but just stuff that you got to
- 23:15Speaker 4: do in life, and unfortunately, in these hours, there's not
- 23:17Speaker 4: a lot of time to get that stuff done. So
- 23:20Speaker 4: he's he's going to be missing for a little while,
- 23:23Speaker 4: but we wish him the best. He's got a little
- 23:26Speaker 4: bit of a text out or a tweet out on
- 23:29Speaker 4: x that kind of puts it in his own words,
- 23:32Speaker 4: and so show Bucky a little bit of love. He
- 23:34Speaker 4: is not the former KJR employee who has caught canoodling
- 23:38Speaker 4: with Mike Vrabel though.
- 23:39Speaker 5: Thank goodness, yes, I just wanted it way more.
- 23:41Speaker 4: I want to clear that up because there are a
- 23:43Speaker 4: lot of people have been asking where's Bucky, and it's not.
- 23:46Speaker 4: He's not having an extra.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Marital affair with the head coach of the Patriot was
- 23:50Speaker 1: not in Sedona at a very secluded private No.
- 23:54Speaker 4: He did not while watching the Super Bowl. He did
- 23:58Speaker 4: not get lost in the loser head coach's eyes and
- 24:01Speaker 4: then just you in his chisel jaw, break with reality,
- 24:06Speaker 4: throw away his family to go be with Vrabes.
- 24:10Speaker 5: That which is good.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I'm glad that that's not what happened, because I'd really
- 24:14Speaker 1: have to question Bucky's judgment.
- 24:15Speaker 4: I haven't seen him draw one cartoon heart around a
- 24:19Speaker 4: picture of Mike Vrabel my entire time working with him. Okay,
- 24:22Speaker 4: I've never seen on his notebook, and he keeps a notebook.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Bucky loves Vrabes. I've never seen that once. I've never
- 24:29Speaker 4: seen him like Larry Bucky Jacobson Verbel. I've never seen
- 24:33Speaker 4: him do that. So don't worry. It wasn't him, and
- 24:35Speaker 4: I was very relieved.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Can you say the same about Diana Rossini?
- 24:38Speaker 4: I don't think you can't.
- 24:39Speaker 5: No, you can't.
- 24:41Speaker 4: So Diana Russini, I don't know was she an employee
- 24:44Speaker 4: here or was she an intern?
- 24:45Speaker 7: She?
- 24:45Speaker 5: No, she was, so she technically wasn't it.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I heard a play she was a Comcast Sportsnet employee.
- 24:50Speaker 1: So when Softy's show was on Comcast Sports Say. She
- 24:53Speaker 1: was the first person.
- 24:55Speaker 4: She was the travismger.
- 24:56Speaker 5: She she wasn't the travismger. She was the host.
- 25:00Speaker 1: So like during commercial breaks she would give the updates
- 25:03Speaker 1: because I was her fill in. Okay, basically told her
- 25:06Speaker 1: how sports works. Yeah, but she figured it out.
- 25:09Speaker 4: She figured out how sports.
- 25:10Speaker 1: She figured out a different way than what I told her.
- 25:12Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I did not suggest that.
- 25:14Speaker 4: Oh that was your teaching. Huh. I just you know,
- 25:17Speaker 4: a great way to be an insider is to sleep
- 25:18Speaker 4: with all the coaches and get information.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I just said, yes, these are the Seahawks, and these
- 25:23Speaker 1: are the Mariners, and this is the Huskies, and these
- 25:26Speaker 1: are the teams we cheer for.
- 25:29Speaker 4: So there were New York Post photos of them at
- 25:32Speaker 4: a swanky resort. Now they have defended themselves saying this
- 25:37Speaker 4: is ridiculous. There were we were two of six people
- 25:40Speaker 4: that were on this trip together.
- 25:42Speaker 5: Where are the other four?
- 25:43Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 25:43Speaker 4: Well, I mean you could get caught with just two
- 25:46Speaker 4: of you. I don't know why you two are just
- 25:48Speaker 4: hanging out, but I mean it's not impossible to believe
- 25:52Speaker 4: that story. So the suggestion was that there's nothing going on.
- 25:57Speaker 4: For Abel completely shot it down, said, that's ridiculus. There's
- 26:00Speaker 4: nothing about those photos that suggest anything more than a
- 26:05Speaker 4: couple of friends having a laugh. And yet people certainly
- 26:09Speaker 4: have run wild with it and believe that there is
- 26:12Speaker 4: an extra marital affair going on between Diana Rassini the
- 26:17Speaker 4: Insider and with Mike for Abel. And so, I mean
- 26:23Speaker 4: there's room in the conversation. I mean, it wasn't anything.
- 26:27Speaker 4: It wasn't like they were caught kissing or naked together
- 26:30Speaker 4: or anything like that. They were seen at a pool
- 26:34Speaker 4: hanging out. There was one moment where he was hugging her,
- 26:37Speaker 4: and there was another moment where their fingers were interlocked.
- 26:40Speaker 5: They were like dancing on a rooftop.
- 26:42Speaker 4: Yeah, So, I mean that's I can buy it. There's
- 26:46Speaker 4: no way that they could be sentenced. There's no way
- 26:49Speaker 4: that you would win in court with those photos to
- 26:51Speaker 4: prove that they were having an extra marital affair.
- 26:55Speaker 1: No, No, I mean there's definitely it doesn't look great.
- 26:59Speaker 1: I'll just say that, And their stories don't really sound
- 27:04Speaker 1: great either, because.
- 27:05Speaker 4: I don't believe them. I'm just saying that if they
- 27:08Speaker 4: go with these stories, that there's no way based on
- 27:11Speaker 4: these photos to prove it. Now, obviously the spouses have
- 27:14Speaker 4: a thing or two to ask, right.
- 27:16Speaker 1: The thing that I thought though was so interesting when
- 27:18Speaker 1: I was reading the story because I was like, well,
- 27:20Speaker 1: let's see, they're saying they're there with six people.
- 27:22Speaker 5: I want to take their word for it. Let let
- 27:24Speaker 5: me read about this.
- 27:25Speaker 1: And the people who had taken the photos were like, well,
- 27:27Speaker 1: we never saw other people. We saw them eating breakfast together,
- 27:29Speaker 1: we saw them lounging to the pool together in the
- 27:31Speaker 1: hot tub, and then they were on this rooftop that's
- 27:33Speaker 1: from not like a hotel rooftop, it's a bungalow. So
- 27:36Speaker 1: I suppose four of their friends could have been down
- 27:39Speaker 1: in the bungalow while they were dancing and hugging on
- 27:42Speaker 1: the rooftop. I don't usually dance and hug on a
- 27:45Speaker 1: rooftop alone with my platonic friends, but that's just me.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Yeah. But the thing they're dancing to cold Play because
- 27:52Speaker 4: I think we had another.
- 27:54Speaker 5: Yeah, that's probably what it was.
- 27:56Speaker 1: But they said there that there were friends there, they
- 27:59Speaker 1: just weren't visible in the pay and then it said
- 28:00Speaker 1: A source close to Rossini says she was at the
- 28:02Speaker 1: hotel during a hiking trip with two female pals, and
- 28:05Speaker 1: one of Rabel's friends said that he that they and
- 28:08Speaker 1: the coach drove up to Sedona for the day with
- 28:10Speaker 1: another pal, and that they all drove back to their
- 28:12Speaker 1: own hotel some two hours away after hanging out with
- 28:16Speaker 1: Russini and her gang. Why are you driving two hours
- 28:19Speaker 1: away to hang out for the day.
- 28:20Speaker 4: Well, like I said, I don't believe them. I don't
- 28:22Speaker 4: think anybody believes them. But there is nothing damning, no
- 28:26Speaker 4: necessarily about the photos. There's certainly no proof of any
- 28:30Speaker 4: kind of extracurricular activity. And of course there's a question
- 28:34Speaker 4: about professional journalism integrity as well. That's a bigger conversation
- 28:38Speaker 4: that I don't have time to have right now. I
- 28:40Speaker 4: will just close out the segment so that we can
- 28:43Speaker 4: get to headlines and Greg Bell at the top of
- 28:45Speaker 4: the hour by saying, it would have been a lot better,
- 28:47Speaker 4: but a lot funnier if it would have been like
- 28:49Speaker 4: I don't know, like Jim Moore in a hammock braiding
- 28:53Speaker 4: Nick Sirianni's hair.
- 28:55Speaker 1: I'd see him with Kaylen de boor really more, he
- 28:57Speaker 1: really did love Kaylen.
- 28:58Speaker 4: De boor Orri and Dan Campbell riding a tandem bike
- 29:02Speaker 4: to an ice cream shop.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Or a stallion.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have loved if it would have been
- 29:07Speaker 4: something like that.
- 29:08Speaker 5: That would have been awesome.
- 29:09Speaker 4: All right, Greg Bell's next plus your Headline Sports Radio
- 29:12Speaker 4: ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 29:17Speaker 8: Now the track of her back hit. Here's Bett Myers.
- 29:19Speaker 8: Now we're gonna have a fight right at center ice.
- 29:21Speaker 8: It's gonna be Jamie Alexiak and Marcus Fillino Fileno.
- 29:25Speaker 4: It's one on Alexiak.
- 29:27Speaker 8: Now the lockhorns right at the logo, Marcus Felino. Two
- 29:31Speaker 8: chabs of the right side of the head, Alexiak with
- 29:33Speaker 8: another strong ride of his own Bullino, a couple of
- 29:36Speaker 8: rabbit punches to the kidneys, and now Alexiak will wrap
- 29:38Speaker 8: him up. Jamie Alexiak too strong, hard across the top
- 29:42Speaker 8: of the head, Billino, ask him locked up?
- 29:45Speaker 4: They'll exchange rights.
- 29:46Speaker 8: In an Alexiak, We'll take him down on the ground
- 29:48Speaker 8: hard right at the face off Dott at center.
- 29:58Speaker 4: I mean, why couldn't it have been Kyle Shanahan painting
- 30:01Speaker 4: each other's toenails?
- 30:03Speaker 1: Oh why not about gas and Andy Reid? Uh?
- 30:09Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we just found exchanging old stories right right exactly? Yeah,
- 30:17Speaker 4: that would have been a lot more interesting to me
- 30:20Speaker 4: than Russinian Vrabel.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Also, are you realizing how many former employees we think
- 30:24Speaker 1: could could really make this more interesting?
- 30:27Speaker 6: Well?
- 30:27Speaker 4: Yeah, more interesting? I mean I don't yeah, I don't
- 30:30Speaker 4: think any of those are realistic.
- 30:31Speaker 5: No, no, no, but they could make it way.
- 30:33Speaker 4: More, way more interesting than Russinian Rabel. Good morning to you,
- 30:37Speaker 4: seven o'clock hour. Great to have you with us. It
- 30:39Speaker 4: is Chuck and Ashley with you know, Bucky Jacobson today.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Greg Bell is going to be joining us here in
- 30:44Speaker 4: about two minutes. But let's get to your headlines first.
- 30:46Speaker 4: We'll start with the local hockey team, which is just
- 30:49Speaker 4: completely collapsed. That was your MAKE delivery of the game.
- 30:52Speaker 4: We found a hockey fight because there really wasn't anything
- 30:56Speaker 4: positive about the result last night of five two loss
- 31:00Speaker 4: to the Minnesota Wild. The team has lost ten out
- 31:02Speaker 4: of eleven games. They have just five games to go,
- 31:05Speaker 4: and the next loss will be elimination if my math
- 31:08Speaker 4: is right. So they are on the brink and certainly
- 31:12Speaker 4: are not going to make some sort of miraculous comeback
- 31:15Speaker 4: at this stage. The fight was your MC delivery of
- 31:17Speaker 4: the game. Last night's top call from the Krack and
- 31:20Speaker 4: Audio Network broad to you my McDonald's ordering the food
- 31:22Speaker 4: you crave with McDelivery as a whole new way to

- 31:31Speaker 4: app four details. Mariners loss last night two the Texas
- 31:35Speaker 4: Rangers three to two. Once again, the offense having a
- 31:37Speaker 4: tough time getting going, had a tow nothing lead. George Kirby,
- 31:41Speaker 4: who was otherwise brilliant, maybe a little lapse in concentration
- 31:45Speaker 4: for back to back hitters, and that little lapse led
- 31:49Speaker 4: to the only three runs that he allowed. Otherwise complete
- 31:52Speaker 4: game eight innings, he struck out eight, he allowed six hits.
- 31:57Speaker 4: He was fantastic last night. The offense and still is not.
- 32:01Speaker 4: They've lost four straight. They're off to a four and
- 32:03Speaker 4: eight start this season. We'll try to salvage a game
- 32:06Speaker 4: of that series today. Eleven thirty five start. Brian wu
- 32:09Speaker 4: gets the ball for US and McKinsey Gore, the left
- 32:12Speaker 4: hander they acquired in the offseason, starts for the Rangers.
- 32:16Speaker 4: So yes, we have fas of lefty today. Other baseball news,
- 32:19Speaker 4: Connor Griffin, the nineteen year old phenom of the Pittsburgh
- 32:22Speaker 4: Pirates as don Colt Emerson better a nine year contract
- 32:27Speaker 4: given to him this morning by the Pittsburgh Pirates for
- 32:30Speaker 4: one hundred and forty million dollars. We'll put that into
- 32:33Speaker 4: context into perspective for you a little bit later on
- 32:36Speaker 4: this hour, but a significant move there in Pittsburgh. The
- 32:41Speaker 4: NFL Draft is just fifteen days away. Fernando Mendoza announced
- 32:46Speaker 4: that he will not attend the draft. He's going to
- 32:49Speaker 4: celebrate with his family at home. Also, Sam Darnold got
- 32:53Speaker 4: married yesterday, and so maybe that's something that we'll discuss
- 32:57Speaker 4: with Greg Bell. I don't know. Maybe Greg was a
- 32:59Speaker 4: flower girl. I have no idea. Let's find out. It's
- 33:02Speaker 4: time to talk to our Seahawks insider with the Bell tolls.

- 34:03Speaker 6: Yeah, he was actually there when he was still the Journeyman,
- 34:06Speaker 6: So this is somewhat legitimate. I they were engaged this
- 34:11Speaker 6: time last year. No, he didn't just come swooping in.
- 34:16Speaker 4: You never know what's going to pop up on a
- 34:18Speaker 4: timeline on X. But there was this headline on this
- 34:22Speaker 4: tweet that was sent out and it was Hailey Steinfeld
- 34:28Speaker 4: attended one of Sam excuse me, one of the Josh
- 34:32Speaker 4: Allen's friend's weddings. Super Bowl champion quarterback can't get in
- 34:37Speaker 4: the headline of Hailey Steinfeld's Twitter followers.
- 34:41Speaker 6: That was Hailey Stanfeld fan page. I wasn't aware of
- 34:47Speaker 6: the Super Bowl.
- 34:47Speaker 4: Quarterback that was great. Well, I mean, by all accounts,
- 34:53Speaker 4: he's just like the nicest guy. There was another tweet
- 34:57Speaker 4: that went out last week saying that some see ran
- 35:00Speaker 4: into him to get his marriage license and he stopped
- 35:03Speaker 4: and took pictures with him and couldn't have been kinder.
- 35:06Speaker 4: I hope he stays that way. But obviously they got
- 35:09Speaker 4: a much better quarterback than a lot of people realized
- 35:12Speaker 4: when they signed Sam Darnold to a free agent, and
- 35:15Speaker 4: it's pretty much indisputable they got one heck of a dude.
- 35:18Speaker 4: I hope he stays this way. They can preserve him
- 35:20Speaker 4: this way forever.
- 35:22Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll tell you it's his experiences in the Jets,
- 35:25Speaker 6: especially growing in a hurry and failing early in his career,
- 35:30Speaker 6: that matured him into being a man and made him
- 35:34Speaker 6: into a better person, he says, And he always talks
- 35:37Speaker 6: about how he wouldn't trade it looking back now. It's
- 35:40Speaker 6: easy to say when you're a Super Bowl quarterback with
- 35:41Speaker 6: a hundred million dollar contract, but he says that those
- 35:45Speaker 6: years of the New York formed him and just made
- 35:48Speaker 6: him appreciate a lot of things life. People, people who help,
- 35:53Speaker 6: people who advise, and he thought that was a real
- 35:57Speaker 6: turning point for that he became a different person about
- 36:00Speaker 6: person for having gone through all of that and the
- 36:03Speaker 6: journeyman status and three teams given up on him. Really
- 36:06Speaker 6: a fourth to count the Vikings before the Seahawks, I so.
- 36:10Speaker 4: I count them?
- 36:10Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, the Seahawks got the benefit of Sam Donald's
- 36:15Speaker 6: travels to get to where he is, and the whole
- 36:18Speaker 6: team got the better of last season.
- 36:19Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 36:19Speaker 4: Well, hopefully what is her name? Katie Darnald will bet
- 36:23Speaker 4: the benefit of that as well. Greg mel is with
- 36:28Speaker 4: us here on Chuck and Buck in the Morning from
- 36:30Speaker 4: the News Tribune, of course, our Seahawks insider, and he
- 36:34Speaker 4: joins us here on this Wednesday every Wednesday through draft. Miss.
- 36:38Speaker 4: We're probably gonna bug Greg Moore as we get closer
- 36:40Speaker 4: to the draft and maybe actual real information starts to
- 36:44Speaker 4: trickle out. We've already discussed Sam's like future contract and
- 36:49Speaker 4: how John will wait until next year when he's got
- 36:53Speaker 4: one year left on the deal before they start to
- 36:55Speaker 4: address that. They've already addressed jsins Witherspoon's supposed to happen
- 37:01Speaker 4: at some point this offseason, or at least that's what
- 37:04Speaker 4: I'm reading into it. Do you have an update on
- 37:06Speaker 4: that or are they just so locked in the draft
- 37:08Speaker 4: that nothing else matters right now.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Well, it won't happen. I would be shocked if it
- 37:13Speaker 6: happened between now and the draft, which is April twenty
- 37:16Speaker 6: twenty fourth, twenty fifth, so that goes into May, and
- 37:19Speaker 6: then McDonald Mike McDonald said last week at the league
- 37:22Speaker 6: meetings in Phoenix, is that the offseason schedule, he's going
- 37:26Speaker 6: to change it and he's going to push it back
- 37:28Speaker 6: for the veterans. The very first phase of the OTA,
- 37:32Speaker 6: or the off season program, I should say, begins April twentieth,
- 37:35Speaker 6: the week of the draft, and that's meetings and weight
- 37:38Speaker 6: room and some on the field basically calisthenic work. In short,
- 37:42Speaker 6: it's all voluntary, but he said he's gonna make that
- 37:44Speaker 6: for the rookies and younger players they are trying to
- 37:47Speaker 6: develop into bigger roles. The veterans starters. He's not going
- 37:50Speaker 6: to run around till the second phase of the off
- 37:53Speaker 6: season program, which goes into May. So he really wants
- 37:57Speaker 6: to keep everything, including the business the guys just let
- 38:00Speaker 6: them chill because they had the Super Bowl in the
- 38:02Speaker 6: long long season into mid February, so I'm thinking that
- 38:07Speaker 6: it's probably going to be more to what we thought
- 38:10Speaker 6: Smith and Jigbas might be as well, which would be
- 38:13Speaker 6: at or near the start of training camp the end
- 38:15Speaker 6: of July. That has been typically when they've done these
- 38:18Speaker 6: foundation franchise player type deals and contract extensions going to
- 38:23Speaker 6: the final year of a guys contract. So the tea
- 38:27Speaker 6: leaves are reading summer, late July into the first part
- 38:31Speaker 6: of August, when Witherspoon probably will make thirty one million
- 38:35Speaker 6: or more per year to eclipse Trent McDuffie is the
- 38:38Speaker 6: highest paid corner in the league.
- 38:40Speaker 4: Well, certainly he'll be on the roster, that's no doubt
- 38:43Speaker 4: about that. But they are down a cornerback from Riek Wollan.
- 38:46Speaker 4: They are down a safety from Kolbe Bryant. What do
- 38:48Speaker 4: you think is the area where they feel thinner and
- 38:52Speaker 4: might address in the draft cornerback or safety or some
- 38:56Speaker 4: combination of the two, like you've gotten Bryant.
- 38:59Speaker 6: Yeah, they're gonna do a I would think and of
- 39:01Speaker 6: the two. And I think that Mike McDonald is targeting
- 39:04Speaker 6: I know he's targeting guys who have multiplicity and can
- 39:07Speaker 6: play outside inside, has experience in nickel. They are already
- 39:11Speaker 6: known to have visited with or about to visit with
- 39:14Speaker 6: San Diego State. Cornerback Chris Johnson, one of those guys
- 39:17Speaker 6: who can play outside inside, known as a good tackler
- 39:20Speaker 6: at San Diego State. Another cornerback Toledo Andre Fuller from
- 39:25Speaker 6: Toledo known to have a Top thirty visit with the
- 39:29Speaker 6: Seahawks as well multiple positions they I would be surprised
- 39:35Speaker 6: if they just took a deep post safety. That's all
- 39:38Speaker 6: he played in college. While they have Tyle Katta and
- 39:42Speaker 6: the Anthony Bell they re signed, and there are guys
- 39:45Speaker 6: incumbents coming back to phill potentially for Kobe Bryant's departure
- 39:49Speaker 6: to the Bears. I don't think they're done adding to
- 39:51Speaker 6: the secondary at all, and that's probably one of the
- 39:54Speaker 6: primary positions. Another one is edge. McDonald cannot get enough
- 39:59Speaker 6: of players who can set the edge against the run
- 40:02Speaker 6: and still rush the quarterback and also drop in the
- 40:04Speaker 6: pass coverage. He lost Boy MafA, of course to the
- 40:08Speaker 6: Bengals and their huge offer that they weren't going to match.
- 40:12Speaker 6: So those type of players who can both set the
- 40:15Speaker 6: edge and get to the quarterback, and even it sometimes
- 40:20Speaker 6: has shown in the drop in the coverage. If when
- 40:25Speaker 6: you're looking at possibilities more so than ever, even more
- 40:29Speaker 6: than Pete Carroll, you're looking for likely Seahawks draft picks.
- 40:33Speaker 6: Look for players who can play multiple positions, have done
- 40:35Speaker 6: it well, that have speed and versatility that you can't
- 40:39Speaker 6: just pigot a hole, pigeonhole a guy in the one spot.
- 40:43Speaker 4: Greg bellis with US Seahawks Insider, that does not address
- 40:46Speaker 4: the running back situation. Greg that answer, and obviously a
- 40:50Speaker 4: lot of twelves are a bit concerned about this, maybe
- 40:53Speaker 4: even worried, maybe even flummox based off of what I've
- 40:57Speaker 4: seen there on Twitter. Well, where are the Seahawks. Are
- 41:01Speaker 4: they just the calm duck that's floating on the water
- 41:04Speaker 4: and churning underneath the water with their legs to try
- 41:08Speaker 4: to fix this hole? Or are they just are they
- 41:12Speaker 4: not worried about this at all, about filling this running
- 41:16Speaker 4: back hole that so many seem to be fretting over.
- 41:20Speaker 6: Well, they're less concerned than people who don't have anything
- 41:23Speaker 6: else to talk about between now in the next game.
- 41:26Speaker 6: So that's always the case, right, Yeah, we have a
- 41:30Speaker 6: lot of time to talk and break down things and
- 41:33Speaker 6: think that this is a huge deal that may not
- 41:35Speaker 6: be as big a deal inside the building because they
- 41:37Speaker 6: have other things they're moving on to and this is
- 41:38Speaker 6: part of a plan. They have sign Emanuel Wilson from
- 41:42Speaker 6: Green Bay and they are going to give him a shot.
- 41:45Speaker 6: He won't have the only shot. And right now it's
- 41:48Speaker 6: lining up as a committee. George Holane's going into his
- 41:50Speaker 6: third year. They've really impressed. He was really impressed the
- 41:53Speaker 6: coaches Halani did when he stepped up in the NFC
- 41:56Speaker 6: Championship Game and in the Super Bowl after Zach Sharp
- 41:59Speaker 6: and I got hurt. We've talked about Zach Charbonday's injury
- 42:02Speaker 6: and when he might come back, and even best case
- 42:05Speaker 6: it's probably gonna be after the season begins. And then
- 42:08Speaker 6: they still have a couple leftovers from the practice squad
- 42:11Speaker 6: last year, Cam Akers Vellas Joes, who were both active
- 42:14Speaker 6: for the Super Bowl, and people forget Cam Akers was
- 42:18Speaker 6: a number one back for the Rams a few years
- 42:20Speaker 6: ago as a young just into the league. They got
- 42:24Speaker 6: him and had him on the practice squad most of
- 42:26Speaker 6: last season. They're coming back as well. Kenny McIntosh had
- 42:30Speaker 6: a season ending knee injury in July. The year mark
- 42:35Speaker 6: would be the start of training camp this job. It
- 42:37Speaker 6: happened in early training camp last summer. They're saying that
- 42:41Speaker 6: while McIntosh won't be doing much of this spring, that
- 42:44Speaker 6: they believe he will be a part of training camp now.
- 42:46Speaker 6: Whether he starts on the non football injuries or not
- 42:49Speaker 6: ready for in some kind of injury list in training camp,
- 42:52Speaker 6: they do believe he's going to be participating at some
- 42:54Speaker 6: point during training camp. None of those have proven. Obviously,
- 43:00Speaker 6: those are slam dunks, and they are I think looking
- 43:03Speaker 6: hard at perhaps their first pick being a running back
- 43:06Speaker 6: in this draft. I think, Chuck, that they could trade
- 43:10Speaker 6: down from thirty two, and we can talk about the
- 43:12Speaker 6: trade down situation I was doing every year or two.
- 43:16Speaker 6: I refreshed the trade draft trade stats from John Schnuder's
- 43:20Speaker 6: sixteen drafts. He has made a trade in involving a
- 43:24Speaker 6: first round pick thirteen times over sixteen drafts, and of
- 43:28Speaker 6: those trades, ten times he's traded down from round one.
- 43:32Speaker 6: Only one time as he in those thirteen trades has
- 43:35Speaker 6: he traded up into round one, and that was when
- 43:39Speaker 6: he traded Russell Wilson to Denver and got two number
- 43:42Speaker 6: ones and two number twos plus three players for him.
- 43:44Speaker 6: That's the only time he's gotten higher into Round one
- 43:48Speaker 6: on a trade. Two times he traded a first round
- 43:52Speaker 6: pick to get a player, Percy Harvin the course in
- 43:54Speaker 6: twenty thirteen Jimmy Graham, which now he told Alex Breer
- 43:59Speaker 6: Monday Morning Quarterback this week that he has since Snyder
- 44:02Speaker 6: has since told Max Hunger that he made a mistake
- 44:05Speaker 6: in doing that and that it wrecked his offensive line
- 44:08Speaker 6: for years, which I've written and talked about, but he
- 44:11Speaker 6: has on the record admitted that that he has apologized
- 44:14Speaker 6: to Max Hunger for trading him, and it's said it
- 44:16Speaker 6: ruined his offensive line for years. For the Jimmy Graham trade.
- 44:20Speaker 6: The point is, if he's trading, he's trading down. He's
- 44:24Speaker 6: made seventy four trades involving draft picks over sixteen drafts,
- 44:29Speaker 6: seventy four thirty three trades down only fifteen We're talking
- 44:34Speaker 6: fifth round, sixth round, seventh round. Only fifteen trades up
- 44:39Speaker 6: and the rest are for players. So more than twice
- 44:42Speaker 6: as many times when he does trade draft picks, it's
- 44:45Speaker 6: to trade down and get more draft picks. He only
- 44:47Speaker 6: has four in this draft. I think they're trading down
- 44:50Speaker 6: from thirty two. There are a couple teams Tennessee, Cleveland,
- 44:56Speaker 6: Denver doesn't have a first round pick who they could
- 45:00Speaker 6: potentially trade with get a second top of the second
- 45:03Speaker 6: round pick, and still get fourth and fifth round picks,
- 45:06Speaker 6: which they currently don't have. Remember it's bottom of one
- 45:09Speaker 6: rounds one, two, and three for the Seahawks and then
- 45:11Speaker 6: a sixth round pick, and that's it. And we the
- 45:15Speaker 6: cover and know him, know that John Schnyder is just
- 45:17Speaker 6: not going to sit around from Friday night until Saturday
- 45:19Speaker 6: night with no picks. So expect them to trade down
- 45:23Speaker 6: from thirty two, and if they can trade down with
- 45:25Speaker 6: a team like Tennessee's at thirty five Cleveland at thirty nine,
- 45:30Speaker 6: plus pick up a fourth or fifth round pick, and
- 45:32Speaker 6: doing so, I think they could still get j Darian
- 45:35Speaker 6: Price of Notre Dame. I know they're interested in him.
- 45:38Speaker 6: They've looked long at him Pro Day, talking with him.
- 45:42Speaker 6: Mike Washington of Arkansas is a bigger, bruiser type back
- 45:47Speaker 6: they are also looking hard at and have a top
- 45:49Speaker 6: thirty visit scheduled with. I'd be very surprised if we
- 45:52Speaker 6: got out of next the draft weekend without them drafting
- 45:55Speaker 6: a quarterback. Excuse me, a running back among the five
- 45:58Speaker 6: or six picks they end up with.
- 46:00Speaker 4: And I think that that scenario that you're mapping out
- 46:03Speaker 4: of trading down, I mean, if this Ty Simpson story
- 46:07Speaker 4: is true, that he keeps falling, to me, that's the
- 46:10Speaker 4: ideal scenario, because now you've brought the Jets and the
- 46:12Speaker 4: Cardinals and you might just drop two spots, but because
- 46:15Speaker 4: the quarterback's involved, you might be able to pick up
- 46:17Speaker 4: that fourth and fifth extra pick by only moving down
- 46:21Speaker 4: two spots because somebody wants to get the quarterback on
- 46:24Speaker 4: a first rounders deal, right.
- 46:27Speaker 6: Or even Cleveland. I mean, yeah, I'm not said a
- 46:29Speaker 6: quarterback right, Cleveland's thirty nine, you would drop down seven
- 46:32Speaker 6: spots get a fourth round back early fifth round pick exactly.
- 46:39Speaker 6: And if they do that, because they're the running back
- 46:42Speaker 6: position and how it's so skewed in the draft and
- 46:46Speaker 6: in contracts in this league, I mean, the number one
- 46:50Speaker 6: love is far and away the note name number one
- 46:53Speaker 6: running back is far and away going to be a
- 46:54Speaker 6: top ten pick and the number one running back. But
- 46:57Speaker 6: then after that you'll see a reluctance of teams not
- 46:59Speaker 6: one the draft of running back. The Seahawks might be
- 47:01Speaker 6: the second team in the draft of draft of running back.
- 47:03Speaker 6: It might not happen till round two.
- 47:06Speaker 4: All right, awesome stuff. Appreciate you. Yeah, we will be
- 47:11Speaker 4: boking some homework.
- 47:12Speaker 6: Yeah, I wanted to show you did some homeworks.
- 47:14Speaker 4: Great, fantastic poo pooed your drafts. Well, see, now you're
- 47:20Speaker 4: in the spirit. I don't know what got you over
- 47:22Speaker 4: the top.
- 47:22Speaker 6: Did you at Sam Darnold's web Yeah, well, Lamborghini's and
- 47:30Speaker 6: range Rover.
- 47:30Speaker 4: How touching is it though, that Sam this does this big,
- 47:33Speaker 4: you know, the biggest day of his life, and he
- 47:35Speaker 4: does it in the middle of Draftmas. Isn't that? Isn't
- 47:37Speaker 4: that great?
- 47:40Speaker 6: Yeah? I'm sure Katie had a lot to.
- 47:42Speaker 4: Say, right, I love I love her for that that
- 47:45Speaker 4: she wanted to have it during Draftmas.
- 47:48Speaker 6: The first lady of Seattle Football.
- 47:51Speaker 4: That's right. Well, I do appreciate it. I did notice
- 47:57Speaker 4: the extra draft work that you did, and I thought
- 48:00Speaker 4: was fantastic. So thank you very much. And we and
- 48:03Speaker 4: because of that, because you were so good, we're gonna
- 48:05Speaker 4: bug you more over the next couple of weeks.

- 49:47Speaker 4: Right, that's true. Yeah, that's how rumors get started.
- 49:49Speaker 5: I wouldn't just dismiss that one right off the bat.
- 49:52Speaker 5: We might need to look into that further.
- 49:55Speaker 4: Fair enough, fair enough. I'm not saying he wasn't doing
- 49:58Speaker 4: that with Sean Payton. I'm just saying that the rumors sometimes.

- 51:00Speaker 5: Well, you know what, you should pick his bridges better.
- 51:02Speaker 4: I agree, he should just be more aware of bridges

- 51:12Speaker 4: for unbelievable. A couple of these are going to be
- 51:15Speaker 4: things that we've already discussed today, but I truly do
- 51:18Speaker 4: want to kind of expand on both of these storylines.
- 51:22Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you're just it's just not going
- 51:27Speaker 4: your way. And I'm not making any excuses for them.
- 51:29Speaker 4: They're not playing good baseball, they're not hitting the baseball.
- 51:31Speaker 4: They're pitching fantastic, but they're off to a four and
- 51:34Speaker 4: eight start and they've earned that. But I think seven
- 51:36Speaker 4: of the eight starts have been by one one run,
- 51:40Speaker 4: seven of the eight losses have been by one run
- 51:42Speaker 4: to this point, and obviously you're gonna have to do
- 51:44Speaker 4: the little things. They've played sloppy defense this year, they've
- 51:48Speaker 4: run the bases in sloppy fashion this year, and they're
- 51:50Speaker 4: not hitting the clutch. So there you go. There's why
- 51:54Speaker 4: you're four and eight on the year. But man, you
- 51:56Speaker 4: really know when things aren't going your way. When Luke
- 52:00Speaker 4: gets up fist one down the left field line, it
- 52:03Speaker 4: looks like the break that you needed. You're going to
- 52:05Speaker 4: start the ninth inning down a run, with a runner
- 52:08Speaker 4: at second base, a good runner, a fast runner, aggressive
- 52:11Speaker 4: runner at second base, and instead, for some unknown reason,
- 52:18Speaker 4: and Jay Buhner was giving him credit last night on
- 52:21Speaker 4: the broadcast for Smart, he gets about ten feet away
- 52:26Speaker 4: fifteen feet away from second base and runs back like
- 52:31Speaker 4: Luke there was he should have been at third before
- 52:35Speaker 4: he should have been at first yep. And I'm sitting
- 52:37Speaker 4: here thinking, wait, Luke Raley is fast. I know that
- 52:40Speaker 4: he wasn't loafing it out of the batter's box. What
- 52:43Speaker 4: is happening? I mean that ball, he hit that ball
- 52:46Speaker 4: down the third base line. They're all playing him to
- 52:49Speaker 4: pull the shortstop. The third baseman's at shortstop, the left
- 52:52Speaker 4: fielder is practically in center field, and the ball hugs
- 52:56Speaker 4: the line and gets trapped down there by the padding. Wyattlength,
- 53:00Speaker 4: who's a good athlete with a good arm, gets to
- 53:02Speaker 4: the ball, stumbles and falls, lobs won back into second base,
- 53:06Speaker 4: and Luke Rayley standing at first base. I'm what on
- 53:09Speaker 4: earth happened there? And didn't make any sense to me
- 53:14Speaker 4: until I found out he overran the bag like a
- 53:19Speaker 4: little leaguer. Yeah, I mean it does happen. I'm not
- 53:21Speaker 4: saying it doesn't happen to professional baseball players, but it
- 53:24Speaker 4: just shows you what a bad way that they're in,
- 53:28Speaker 4: that they can't catch a break. Right now, that Luke Rayley,
- 53:31Speaker 4: who's run around first base how many times a million
- 53:38Speaker 4: in his life would miss the bag at such a
- 53:41Speaker 4: big moment in the game, and so instead of starting
- 53:44Speaker 4: the inning with a runner at second base, you start
- 53:47Speaker 4: the inning with a runner at first base and you
- 53:50Speaker 4: don't score. They'd still they would have kept playing. He
- 53:53Speaker 4: was going to score if they got to second base,
- 53:54Speaker 4: and instead he misses the bag, got eighty percent of
- 53:58Speaker 4: the way to second base and decided, I can't risk that.
- 54:02Speaker 4: I got to run back to first base. And that's
- 54:05Speaker 4: how that ending start. That's why Luke Rayley wasn't standing
- 54:08Speaker 4: at second base us for unbelievable.
- 54:10Speaker 5: Yeah, when it rains, it pours ough.
- 54:13Speaker 1: That's basically it, right, because no, I don't Yeah, I
- 54:15Speaker 1: don't know how. It's things that you don't ever see
- 54:19Speaker 1: that are going wrong.
- 54:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you do see them.
- 54:22Speaker 5: Just mean they are rarities, Yeah.
- 54:26Speaker 4: And why are they happening at pivotal moments and one
- 54:29Speaker 4: loss one run games, one run losses for the Seattle Mariners.
- 54:33Speaker 4: I also pointed this out Vias for vexed and George
- 54:37Speaker 4: Kirby love him. What a great pitch. I think he
- 54:40Speaker 4: said it numerous times. Things got the highest upside in
- 54:42Speaker 4: this entire starting rotation, and this might be the best
- 54:45Speaker 4: starting rotation in the world, and he's got the highest upside.
- 54:48Speaker 4: I mean, he hasn't been a cy young candidate yet
- 54:51Speaker 4: in his career. I think he's going to be, and
- 54:53Speaker 4: I think he will be if he can fix one thing,
- 54:57Speaker 4: if he doesn't continue to get vexed when the bounces
- 55:01Speaker 4: don't go his way. I'm telling you this because I
- 55:06Speaker 4: was this pitcher. Now I got injured at the end
- 55:10Speaker 4: of high school. I'm not trying to compare myself to
- 55:12Speaker 4: a major leaguer, but when I see him, I know
- 55:17Speaker 4: that was the kind of pitcher I was. I was
- 55:20Speaker 4: so confident in my abilities and my location when I
- 55:23Speaker 4: pitched in high school that when somebody got a hit
- 55:26Speaker 4: off me, I felt wrong. Like if I executed my
- 55:28Speaker 4: pitch and they dunked one into left center field and
- 55:32Speaker 4: three of my fielders converged, and I felt like all
- 55:35Speaker 4: three of them should have had that ball, and then
- 55:37Speaker 4: it falls it. I mean it just I I didn't
- 55:42Speaker 4: I didn't handle that well. And so here's and George
- 55:46Speaker 4: Kirby is the exact same way. Now he's got a
- 55:49Speaker 4: lot more age on that mullet headed sixteen year old
- 55:53Speaker 4: from southwestern Illinois Okay, it's got a lot more experienced.
- 55:57Speaker 4: He should be out of this, but he's not. And
- 56:01Speaker 4: it was a very short little lapse. But when Jack
- 56:05Speaker 4: Peterson got that infield single, and he's the last guy
- 56:09Speaker 4: on the Rangers that should get an infield single, actually,
- 56:11Speaker 4: maybe Jake Berger would be the last guy. They got
- 56:14Speaker 4: a lot of slow guys on that team.
- 56:16Speaker 5: Take advantage of it.
- 56:16Speaker 4: He gets the infield single, and not only does he
- 56:18Speaker 4: get the infield single on a good pitch from George
- 56:21Speaker 4: that should have recorded the out, Donovan throws the ball
- 56:24Speaker 4: away trying to rush it over to first. So now
- 56:27Speaker 4: all of a sudden, he's got a guy at second
- 56:29Speaker 4: base that shouldn't have been on base in his head.
- 56:33Speaker 4: And so the next two hitters, the only two hitters
- 56:36Speaker 4: that really squared him up the entire night, where Evan
- 56:39Speaker 4: Carter and Kyle Hagashioka, and his concentration was just off
- 56:46Speaker 4: the most little slight bit, and that's all it takes
- 56:49Speaker 4: for a major league hitter. Kyle Higashioka is not a
- 56:52Speaker 4: great or even good major league hitter, but every major
- 56:57Speaker 4: league hitter can take advantage of a mistake, and he
- 57:01Speaker 4: hits the two run homers. So he had a lapse.
- 57:03Speaker 4: I think I think this is just me reading into
- 57:05Speaker 4: it because I feel like I can associate with somebody
- 57:09Speaker 4: that thinks the way that George does. He had I
- 57:12Speaker 4: feel a lapse in concentration for two hitters, and in
- 57:16Speaker 4: that span of time gave up the three runs the
- 57:18Speaker 4: Rangers needed to win. This is the issue with him,
- 57:22Speaker 4: and the Mariners have got to be more hyper aware
- 57:24Speaker 4: of this. I want them every single time George gives
- 57:28Speaker 4: up a hit that he should not, that he executed
- 57:32Speaker 4: his pitch and the guy got lucky, or the umpire
- 57:34Speaker 4: missed the call, or the second baseman threw it away.
- 57:39Speaker 4: I want Kyle to use one of his visits to
- 57:41Speaker 4: go talk to George and tell and remind him, Hey,
- 57:45Speaker 4: you made the great pitch happens. Let's go. I need
- 57:48Speaker 4: your right back one hundred percent. Focus on the next pitch.
- 57:51Speaker 4: Can't worry about that. You gotta flush it right now,
- 57:53Speaker 4: not after the inning is over, in the dugout, not
- 57:57Speaker 4: after the game. You tell Ryan Devish that you know
- 58:01Speaker 4: I gotta flush things like that. No, I need you
- 58:04Speaker 4: to flush it right now. Be better at flushing.
- 58:06Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta do it.
- 58:07Speaker 1: You got to be able to flush it pitch to pitch,
- 58:09Speaker 1: and he doesn't seem to be able to do it
- 58:11Speaker 1: that quickly.
- 58:11Speaker 5: But think I do.
- 58:12Speaker 1: Think you go out and you give him those mound reminders.
- 58:15Speaker 1: Eventually you won't need to do that anymore. He'll be
- 58:17Speaker 1: able to do it on his own.
- 58:18Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to be managed. I think I do.
- 58:21Speaker 4: I might be reading it into it too much. I
- 58:23Speaker 4: don't have any inside information, and maybe I'm being careless
- 58:26Speaker 4: with my analysis, but it just it just reminds me
- 58:29Speaker 4: of the way that I was. Now, that's a sixteen
- 58:32Speaker 4: year old playing high school baseball versus a twenty seven
- 58:35Speaker 4: year old pitching in the major leagues. I realize the
- 58:38Speaker 4: dark difference. But a personality trade is a personality trade
- 58:41Speaker 4: no matter where it resides. And so I know, I
- 58:44Speaker 4: know that I didn't in the moment flush it. I
- 58:47Speaker 4: would still carry my anger for it. That guy should
- 58:50Speaker 4: be out. Why is he? On my basis, he should
- 58:54Speaker 4: be out? And I think George that affects him and
- 58:57Speaker 4: the Mariners I think have to do be more hyper
- 59:01Speaker 4: aware of it and be more hands on to try
- 59:04Speaker 4: to keep innings from getting big after situations like that.
- 59:08Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
- 59:09Speaker 4: Yeah, finally w is for Wisdom. Patrick Wisdom is a
- 59:14Speaker 4: veteran third baseman who's down in Tacoma and apparently hitting
- 59:17Speaker 4: a home run every night. Oh and I think he's
- 59:20Speaker 4: got like seven to ten games, And yes, it looks
- 59:23Speaker 4: to us like, man, we could really use that power.
- 59:26Speaker 4: And Patrick Wisdom, I think is capable. He's very fit,
- 59:29Speaker 4: Solomon spring training, very fit guy, and I think that
- 59:34Speaker 4: he could come up and possibly provide a little bit
- 59:37Speaker 4: of a spark. I do think he's capable of that.
- 59:40Speaker 4: But that's not what's wrong with the Mariners. We're not
- 59:43Speaker 4: making roster moves. We're not sending guys down or taking
- 59:46Speaker 4: somebody off the roster for Patrick Wisdom. Right now, what
- 59:50Speaker 4: we have will work. It's not working right now, but
- 59:54Speaker 4: it will. I just heard a conversation with former Reds
- 59:56Speaker 4: general manager Jim Bowden, who's now on the media side
- 59:59Speaker 4: of things, and he said the Mariners on paper are
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: in maybe a cut below the Dodgers, but are on
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: the second level. I mean, this is a team that
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: doesn't have to worry about starting four and eight because
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: they're just that good. And that's the way that I
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: feel that's coming from a general manager's mouth and pretty
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: much everybody that has ever been employed by Major League
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: Baseball is going to tell you, twelve games into a season,
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: weird things can happen, and a short sample size, this
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: team is not playing up to caliber, not up to snuff,
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: not up to their talent. But they're going to They're
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: going to iron it out and those breaks that they're
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: not getting. There's gonna be a stretch of games later
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: this year where it's going to feel like they got
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: every break, games that they didn't out play the other team.
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: But they're gonna win those games over the course of
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty two games. This is why you
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: play one hundred and sixty two. The cream rises to
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: the top. They are. They're in a bad stretch right now.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: They've got some bad jujuw going on and they're playing
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: bad period.
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: It's all bad.
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: But they are going to play well and they are
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: going to get some good juju before the season comes
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: to a close to balance some of this out on
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: behalf of Jim Boden and myself. Do not worry, do
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: not panic. They're fine. I don't feel any differently now
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: than I did with them at four and four. They're
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: going to be fine. All right, coming up next, we
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: get Reckless at Breakfast. Now we see why the Mariners
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: wanted to get out ahead of the Cole t Emerson
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: thing right, we'll talk about an next. Sports Radio ninety
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: three point three KJRFM. The Masters are almost here. It
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: is the Eve, and so as we get ready to
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: start covering the majors, we always turn to the Las
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: Vegas golfer himself. He writes for golf dot Com, writes
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: for CBS Sports, He's on sports Line, Sports Grid. He
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: is one of the great golf handicappers in the entire galaxy,
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: and he also does football as well. Of course, he's
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: a personal friend of mine as well. And so we
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: welcome back to the show in time for the Masters.
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: Brady Cannon, Good morning, sir.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: Hello friends. That's yeah, you're right. That music got me
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: in the mood. All right, we're almost there, buddy, who boy,
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: I got the green jacket on and everything.
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: A green jacket, no pants, that's what Brady Cannon's wearing
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: right now. Hey, by the way, you won that super
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: contest the last time we chatted about that. You've turned
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: that into a show, that into a show, haven't you.
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: Yes, yes, my friends in fact, another Super Contest winner
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: James Salinas, and then a guy who actually is an
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: ex Seattle Seahawk Mike Pritchard, oh Denver Bronco, Atlanta Falcon
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: and Seattle Seahawk. Mike Pritchard, James Selenis and myself. We
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: do the Las Vegas Football Contest show usually start in
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: late August, a couple a couple of weeks before the
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: football season starts, and we handicap all the games, but
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: then you know, give out our contest picks. It's very
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: much about contest theory. So yeah, it's been a great
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: show and the off season now, but will Helpe to
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: be back in late summer?
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: All right, well that's great, that's great. Well we've got
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: you here to talk to some golf, so let's break
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: it down. And I'm just curious because I'm more of
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: a baseball guy, as you know, and I know that
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: you're not supposed to read into spring training numbers. They
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: don't mean anything once the regular season starts. And I'm
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: not saying that the golf that has been played so
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: far before the Masters is spring training. I'm not trying
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: to equate the two, but I am using it to
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: ask how much do you read into when you're getting
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: ready to pick a Masters champion as you have, how
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: much do you read into how well they've been playing
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: so far on the tour.
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: Yeah, current form would be the phrase for that. And
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: that is certainly a factor in any handicap. Really, maybe
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: not quite as much for the Masters because there are
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: other factors. But I think certainly on a week to
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: week basis, you know, you can't and especially for a
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: major championship like we have in our hands here this week,
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: you can't necessarily put all your eggs in a basket
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: on a guy that is not in good current form.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: You don't necessarily find your game when you drive down
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: Magnolia Lane and all of a sudden you start playing well,
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: you know so, so current form absolutely is a factor.
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: And really the West Coast Swing, you know, we start
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: in Hawaii, make our way through California and Arizona, and
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: then in March we go over to the Florida Swing.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: The California Swing has, or the West Coast Swing rather,
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: has a lot of indicators towards master's success. Now this year,
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: because of drought like conditions in Maui, we did not
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: start the year like we typically do at Kappolua, but
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: Coppolua has incredible ties to Master's success. If you look
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: at guys that have won at Kapalua, a lot of
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: them are former Masters champions, and the courses share similarities
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: as far as elevation change and the big wide fairways
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: and massive greens, so there are some similarities. Hideki Matsuyama
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: won in twenty twenty four twenty twenty five rather at Kapolua.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: I immediately made a bet on him to win the Masters.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: Same with Cameron Young a few years prior John Rahm
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three when he did go on to
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: win the Masters. So that's a real indicator. And then
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: fast forward a few weeks when we go to Riviera
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: for the Genesis Invitational. I think Riviera Country Club in
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: Pacific Palisades, California may be the very strongest Masters indicator, Chuck,
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: I mean, look at the guys that have won at
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: both places, Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson, Nick Faldo, Bubba Watson,
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matziyama. It just really goes on and
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: on and on. So that's a real strong pointer as well.
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: And then just the fact that if you've got to
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: win early in the season. That's typically not uncommon for
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: what is on a Master's winner's resume. So yeah, there's
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: all kinds of factors. But to your point, current form
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: is never not important in my opinion.
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let me ask you about two guys specifically then,
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: because I keep it reading about how good Cameron Young
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: has been playing so far this year, and then, if
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, JJ Spahn, who always gets overlooked when
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: we start previewing these majors, is coming off a big win.
- 1:06:28Speaker 4: So are we looking at two hot golfers and Cameron
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: Young and JJ spawn right now?
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Well, that's for sure. And you know, JJ Spahn was
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: a kind of guy, was a guy that I kind
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: of expected to fall off a little bit because he
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: had an absolute career year last year, and JJ Spahn
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: was kind of a tour journeyman. And then all of
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: a sudden, he won a major championship and he's, you know,
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: in a playoff with Rory McElroy at the Players Championship,
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: and he's on the Ryder Cup team, and things ascended
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: so quickly that I felt he would off a little
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: bit on the rebound, and he did. But then he
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: wins last week, so maybe here he comes again. He
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: has not played in many Masters tournaments before. Like I say,
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: he was a journeyman, he wasn't necessarily a champion, and
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: so he hasn't been around Augusta National quite a lot.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: And you need experience. That's another factor in this handicap.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Typically it takes six times playing the Masters before you
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: go on to win. Cameron Young has played the Masters
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: four times. He's missed the cut twice, and he's also
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: finished top ten twice. He's finished runner up at Riviera,
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: He's finished eighth at Kappoloa, he's finished runner up at
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: Saint Andrews, and he just won the Players Championship. And
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: if he goes on to win the Masters this year,
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: that would be the third straight year in a row
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: that the winner of the Players Championship has gone on
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: to win the Masters. Scotti Scheffler two years ago, Rory
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: last year, and now Cam Young. Young certainly has the
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: game for this golf course and Chuck now he's kind
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: of graduated to having a couple of wins on tour
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: under his belt. The putter has really started to turn
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: around in a positive direction for Cam Young. So it
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: appears that the game is popping in all areas, and yes,
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: it's very possible. I would expect him to contend. I
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to win. I'm hoping that
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: he's there in the mix for at least a top
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: ten finish.
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: Brady CANNONI is with us. You can follow him on
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: x at Las Vegas Golfer. He's got his fresh off
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: the presses, his twenty twenty six Masters odds predictions, top picks,
- 1:08:37Speaker 4: props and analysis for the upcoming tournament, which we'll start tomorrow.
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: And you'll get a little bit of that right now
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: with our conversation with Brady right here on Chuck and
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: Buck in the mornings on KJAR, give me a health
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: update on Colin Morikawa, because I'm reading one article that
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: says stay away from him, and then I've heard other
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: articles suggesting I think even you had suggested maybe don't
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: worry about that so much.
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it is certainly a hot question right now, and
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: especially you know, not only from just a standard standpoint,
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: but from a betting perspective as well. And I'm kind
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: of of the thought that I think it's worth a gamble,
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: and I wouldn't necessarily just push all in and go
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: all in on Colin Moricawa, because there is absolutely the
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: risk that, you know, he plays Thursday and Friday and
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: can't handle it anymore and he pulls out and you lose.
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: But you're getting such good value on him right now.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: I've seen forty to one for him to win the
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: Masters and Chuck. If there was no question about his health,
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: he'd probably be eighteen to one. I've seen him. You know,
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: just about every market you look at head to head matchups,
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: top twenty finish, you're getting an inflated price because there is,
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: you know, uncertainty. He pulled out of the Players Championship
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: a month ago after playing just one hole. Didn't look
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: too serious. I figured he would be fine. He has
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: been practicing, he's been hitting golf balls. He's been doing
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: a lot of chipping and putting, which people say, you know,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: he can't do a full swing. Well, no, I say,
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: great that he's practicing putting and chipping, because that's crucial
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: around here and it's probably the one lower point of
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: his game. He's playing brilliant golf this year. Just a
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: consummate ball striker. He's got everything that it takes here.
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: He's never missed the cut of augusta multiple top ten finishes.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: I'm kind of banking on Colin Morricawa is going to
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: be okay. And again I'm not going crazy on him,
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: but I'm going to gamble a little bit and bet
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: that he is a green light rather than a stay away.
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: Yeah, let's make it clear. Brady does doesn't give advice.
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: Brady goes to the window with his thoughts and ideas.
- 1:10:52Speaker 7: That's true. That's true.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: I wouldn't sit here and tout stuff if I wasn't
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: backing it up with my own wallet.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: Brady Cannon is with us, all right, So who do
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: we like going into the Masters? How does Brady Cannon
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: see this tournament unfolding?
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: Well, you've mentioned a couple of them already. I am
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: on Cam Young and I'm on Colin Morikawa. I mentioned
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: Hideki Matsuyama, a former champion here, I'm on him. Jordan Speith,
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: you know, a little bit of a longer shot, but
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: he's just so good at this place, and he's playing
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: really good golf right now. One thing that has changed
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: for Jordan Speith that we haven't seen in a few
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: years is the short game is really firing. And we
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: remember when Jordan Speath was winning the Masters in twenty
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: fifteen and finishing runner up and all that other stuff.
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: The short game was just special. And maybe he has
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: found that magic again. And if he has, look out
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: because he is magic around this place. Patrick Reid another
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: champion who's just a top ten machine here at Augusta.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: You know, Chuck, the course is what we like to
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: call very sticky. Guys that play well here tend to
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: do so year in and year out. And all these
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: guys that I'm talking about, Jordan Spied, Matsiama, Morikawa Red,
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: they're always at the top of the leader board at Augusta.
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: And the course has that you know pattern to it,
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: so it you know, you can lean on guys that
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: do well here year in and year out and expect
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: that they're going to be there again. Not saying it's
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: going to happen, but it does more often than not.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: Min Wu Lee, now he's relatively newer to the party,
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: but I believe he absolutely has the game big off
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: the tee in a magical short game. And then the veteran,
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: the forty five year old Chuck who's playing some brilliant
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: golf this year, the Australian Adam Scott. You can find
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: him in the neighborhood of eighty to one hundred to
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: one to win this thing. And you know, is he
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: a long shot?
- 1:12:55Speaker 6: Yes?
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: But the second question, could he win this I also
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: believe the answer is Yet, I think Adam Scott is
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: playing well enough right now. And this guy's this is
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: his twenty fifth time playing the Masters. You talk about
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: having experience around this track. He missed the cut for
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: the first time last year, since twenty ten. He is
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: a model of consistency here and he's playing so well
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: right now. Maybe he can slip on a green jacket
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: for the second time.
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: Wow. Great stuff there, all right. But in terms of
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: the favorite, I mean it's kind of interesting. Scotty Scheffler
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: sort of considered the best in the world right now,
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: Rory coming off the victory from a year ago. We
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: mentioned Cameron Young might be the hottest, and yet Xander
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: Shopley seems to be the favorite out there with a
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: lot of experts. So who do you handicap as the
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: actual champion of the Masters this year?
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Well, I'm not going to land on Scotty or Rory.
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: Scotty of course, just had his second child, congratulations, you know,
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: and he had to pull out of a few tournaments
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: here lately because of the arrival of his child. You know,
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: that's obviously a distraction, not a bad one, and he
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: hasn't really been in typical Scotty form. He won the
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: American Express back in January, but you know, he was
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: barely cracking the top twenty rather than you know, winning
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: and finishing second and third. So he I mean, obviously
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: the sky is not falling, but it hasn't been the
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: usual Scotty we're used to, and I just don't know
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: if the timing is right for him this year. Rory
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: has been nursing some back issues and the defending champion
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: just doesn't win here. That hasn't it rarely ever happens,
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: and hasn't happened in about twenty five years or so.
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: So I didn't land on either of them. You're absolutely
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: right that people loved Xander Schoffle. They love John Rahm,
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: Bryson de Shamba. The Masters is a pretty chalky tournament.
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: Long shots typically don't win, and there's a great chance
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: it's going to be one of those guys, and you
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: just have to decide which one it's going to be
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: I like Masiama, Chuck, that's you know, as far as
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: the shorter shots, that's that's my guy.
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: I'm going to ride with nice Brady Cannon with us
- 1:15:14Speaker 4: Las Vegas Golfer at Las Vegas Golfer. He is with
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: cbssports Golf dot Com, sports Line sports Grid and has
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: really emerged as one of the finest golf handicappers in
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: the entire world. And we get the privilege of chatting
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: with him before every major here on Chuck and Buck
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A r F M.
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: All right, so how are you going to do this?
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: I know you do the overnight sleep, go sleep on
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: the couch for the Open Championship. What do you I mean,
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: do you make pimento sandwiches the night before so they're
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: ready to go for you tomorrow?
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: Darn good idea. Yeah, I got to look up. I
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: might have a little pimento cheese sandwich for breakfast tomorrow morning.
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: That sounds breakfast at the Masters with pimento cheese. I
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: like that could be a tradition unlike any other here
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: at the Cannon House.
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: I hear they make good egg salad sandwiches there too,
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: But the pimento, that's what gets all the credit. And
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: they're still like priced at like a dollar for a sandwich.
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: Yeah, the ticket will cost you a couple grand, but
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: the sandwich is awful cheap.
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: All right, man, Well, enjoy it all, awesome. As always,
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: we appreciate you. Is anything else that we need to
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: let our listeners know about where they can find you,
- 1:16:28Speaker 4: anything else that we should tip them.
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: Off to, Well, I think you rattled it off, and
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: you know, if they are interested in any further information,
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: just check the Twitter handle there at Las Vegas Golfer.
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: I've got all my articles up there and my you know,
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: CBS and all that other good stuff. I'll be going
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: on sports Grid here in a few minutes. Got shows
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: all day long, you know, as we head into the
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: first round of the Big Dance. So just a ton
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: of fun and let's cross our fingers that Colin Moricawa
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: is healthy, because you know, whether you've got a bet
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: on them or not, the guy deserves it. He's playing well,
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: and I really hope he's okay, because if he is,
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: I think he's going to have a great week.
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: All right, Well, enjoy it all. We appreciate you, and
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: we'll do it again soon.
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: All right, my friend, thank you.
- 1:17:13Speaker 4: All Right, there he is Brady Cannon right here on
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: Chuck and Buck. In the mornings. Of course, we will
- 1:17:18Speaker 4: preview it ourselves, coming up at nine o'clock with our
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: Green Jacket Draft. The Green Jacket Green Jacket Draft. This
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: is how our little drafts event, big event previews has started.
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: We wanted to have a little bit of a rooting
- 1:17:32Speaker 4: betting interest in what was going on at the Master,
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: so we drafted up players a few years ago and
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: it has remained a staple here on Chuck and Buck
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: ever since. And so we start a brand new year
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: with our Green Jacket drafting with the Master. So we
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: will christen the twenty twenty sixth season today at nine o'clock,
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: even though Bucky's not here.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: Yeah. My only problem is that when we have Brady on,
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: then he says names that I was like, I'd circled
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: already and I'm like, don't talk about them, and then
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: he brings it up and talks about them at length,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: and I'm.
- 1:18:05Speaker 5: Like, oh, dang it, I will Okay.
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: I saw that you grimaced at min Woulee. Yeah, that
- 1:18:13Speaker 4: was not somebody on my radar, So I promise you a.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Well, that wasn't the first one. That was less of
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: a grimace than the first one. I'm not going to
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: tell you the first one because I'm just gonna hope it.
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: Asked by is it Colin Morikwa? Does it rhyme with
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: Alin Sora Cowall?
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: It does not? Okay, Yeah, you're good there.
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: What about flood.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: Blats you alma, I do have him circled, But I
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: didn't think that either of them were kind of the
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: It was more of a.
- 1:18:41Speaker 4: Well, I hope it wasn't Cameron Young because the secrets
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: out on there.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it wasn't one of the top guys. Yeah, no,
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: we're not one of the front runners.
- 1:18:49Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well are you doing the podcast there?
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: I haven't heard you talking.
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: About the podcast this year.
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, uh, well, you know I started it
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: with Jason Puckett, right and so one pucket list.
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, Mason Luckett.
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: I heard he was rumored to be noodling with Mike
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: Rabil at a hotel. He was that it might not
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: have been him.
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: No, same guy, It is the same guy.
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: I just heard there was a former person connected to
- 1:19:14Speaker 4: KJR that might have an affair going.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: On, and it was they were the interlocking fingers and
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: dancing on a rooftop.
- 1:19:20Speaker 4: Okay, I'm glad we cleared that up because there's a
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: lot of misinformation.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Well yeah, you know, it's important to get it get
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: it right. So yeah, we were doing the podcast together.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: Then when he left, it was kind of like piecing
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: some things together. Then last year ended up with a
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: great co host. But I just think maybe it has
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Maybe we'll bring it back.
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: We'll see.
- 1:19:38Speaker 4: Correct, Well, you better hurry if you're going to get
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: a master Well it.
- 1:19:40Speaker 5: Wanted to be a master's one. Yeah.
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: Yeah, you're running out of time. Yeah.
- 1:19:44Speaker 5: If that's the case, yeah, I probably should do that today.
- 1:19:47Speaker 4: Yeah. And by the way, also, no truth to there.
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: I know that people are running wild with us. A
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: former KJR employee is having a romantic affair with an
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: NFL head coach. Who could it be? It's maybe Stretch
- 1:20:02Speaker 4: Johnson was in a Stretch limo with a shirtless Matt Lafloor.
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: Maybe he wasn't. But let's not get crazy, I would believe.
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: Let's not get crazy with these rumors. Let's just let
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: it play out till we can find the truth.
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: Well, I mean it's kind of fun to speculate. Yeah,
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: maybe it was fish right.
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: Ryans Maybe maybe, Yeah, I mean i've heard that too. Yeah,
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: I've also heard And then this is baseless. I mean,
- 1:20:28Speaker 4: he's a friend of mine. He would have invested in
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: my trust. Jimmy Shapiro was not writing a playground Teeter
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: Totter with Brian Schottenheimer. That is nonsense.
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: No, they would be far more discreet than that, right.
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: Keep that. That's this is how rumors get.
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't want to partake in those.
- 1:20:45Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Diana Russini and Mike Rabel that's the rumor.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: Come on now, people, and there's photos. Yeah, we don't
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: have photo proof.
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: Come on, all right, coming on next here on the
- 1:20:55Speaker 4: radio program, it's almost Draftmas time. It's time for stocking
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: stuff or some and lit the fireplace. It is warm
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: and toasty and inviting Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: All's good, just got a few things that he's got
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: to look into, and so he's out for an indefinite
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: period of time. So it's just Ashley or I who
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: you would direct your question to in our round of
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: SUP this week. So what do we got at four
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: nine four five one?
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: All right, we have, sup, Chuck. How does Woodenville compare
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: to Kirkland for you?
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: Oh? Man, I love them both. That's the best part
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: about having moved here. And I don't get to do
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: it as much as the old I would when I
- 1:21:34Speaker 4: lived here without an anchor tied around my leg. Uh yeah.
- 1:21:40Speaker 4: I would go to a different town like every week
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: and then just hang out for the entire day and evening.
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: I'd eat lunch and dinner there, and I'd write, and
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: I'd go to coffee shops and just explain. I think
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: it's just wonderful. I think it's the best part about
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: living here because everything is so different. But man, Kirkland
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: is awesome. But I actually do like Woodenville a little
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: bit better. I don't want to leave Woodenville, but I
- 1:22:02Speaker 4: probably am.
- 1:22:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I hear you. They're both great.
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: But and Kirkland's got the water, but Woodenville's got the
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: wine country. I say, yeah, something about Woodenville.
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: Something about Woodinville.
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: I agree, su Sup Chuck. Just curious. This is from
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: the four two five.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: If you are an approachable person, if spotted in public,
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: or if you would prefer to be left alone, not.
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: Naming names, but I ran into another.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: KJR personality who definitely didn't want to talk to me.
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: I wish I knew who that names.
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: I know, I really want to write back in ass uh.
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: So just send it. We won't say it on the air,
- 1:22:34Speaker 4: but go ahead and send us there.
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: Yeah, just tell us so that we can laugh.
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: I would say, I'm very approachable. This is all about honesty, right.
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: I'm not saying that every time I go out I
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: want somebody I wonder and I'm not. I'm not like
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: some celebrity or anything like that. But I'm not saying
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: that every time I want to go out that I
- 1:22:54Speaker 4: want people to find out what I do more so
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: than who I am, right and then talk because then
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: that's like there opportunity. I'm a sports fan. I wish
- 1:23:02Speaker 4: I had my own sports talk show, ohs, And the
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: next thing you know, I'm sitting there talking sports the
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: entire time I'm out when I do that for a living,
- 1:23:10Speaker 4: so I like it to a point. But to be honest,
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: I don't want it every single time that I go out.
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: Hello and short conversation, that's welcome every single time. But
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that it's welcome every single time when
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: somebody just bellies up to the bar with me and
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: talks my ear off for the next four hours.
- 1:23:29Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree that.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, We've got this one's for me, sub Ashley.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: If you were to play football, what position do you
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: envision yourself playing?
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: Who's playing style would you emulate?
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Great show, folks, that's from the two oh six. I
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: would play quarterback because that's the only thingsition. Well, it
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: translates with my water polo skills control ball pretty.
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: Far, because all quarterbacks play in water right ahead.
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: Well, just the arm throwing really, that's it.
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: I mean, let's because let's be honest, I'm not good
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: at running and I'm not good at jumping.
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: That's why I played water sports.
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: So you're a pocket quarterback.
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's yeah. So I guess Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:24:06Speaker 4: The guy you disliked the most.
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: Yes, well, and Aaron Rodgers now, because I need somebody
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: who's not very mobile, right.
- 1:24:13Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, Ashley goes with the quarterback position
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: purely out of mobility, not for glory.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: Right, just just thinking about my own personal skills.
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: That's a good question.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: Strong arm, not great at running, not great at jumping.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: That's why I played sports in the water.
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that question.
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: All right, well what would who? What position would you play?
- 1:24:33Speaker 6: Well?
- 1:24:34Speaker 4: I did play football, so I'm a receiver or you know,
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: I played tight end in high school because I went
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: to a really small school. So one hundred and sixty
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: five pound tight end, which is crazy.
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: Yeah that's pretty small.
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: But yeah, I would have played wide receiver. That's that's
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: my business.
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: That would be my second one because I do have
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: good hands and their mouths wide receiver.
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I mean he would correct me like, well,
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: you couldn't be a Z, right, and I mean an
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: X really your size?
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: Come on, man?
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: Yeah, so I would have to be like a you know,
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: six foot one slot receiver who uses my guile to
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: get by.
- 1:25:10Speaker 5: There you go, just a wiley yeah receiver, like a
- 1:25:13Speaker 5: Ricky poll type.
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll even grow the mullet back out if you want.
- 1:25:16Speaker 6: Again.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: It would run into my problem of not having speed
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: and not having jumping ability.
- 1:25:20Speaker 5: But I have very large hands.
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: See this is why I would make a good quarterback too,
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: very large hands YouTube and so.
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: You wouldn't get called out. I would a combine.
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: They would measure my hands and say, holy crap, yeah,
- 1:25:33Speaker 5: all right, one more, Yeah, we've got one more. Oh gosh.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: Well actually this quickly came in and I found I
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: think you'll find this fun.
- 1:25:39Speaker 4: Chuck.
- 1:25:40Speaker 5: You got to move to Snowhomish, been there twenty years
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: and love it.
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: That might be where I'm going.
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: That's why I read. I was like, oh, yeah, there
- 1:25:46Speaker 5: you go again.
- 1:25:47Speaker 4: I like, I like so many of these towns around
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: here that if I'm going to have to move again soon,
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: I might try something new, and Snowhomish is high on
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: the list. The only problem is that it's even it's
- 1:25:58Speaker 4: like forty five minutes to tack onto my commute. Yeah,
- 1:26:01Speaker 4: every day, and every day that could get really tiring.
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: I know there's not a great connection from snowholmss.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: No, because it's it's another twenty minutes from my house
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: if you are in snow and.
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: I love Snowholmish. Yeah, there aren't many plays I don't love.
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to sound like no, that's
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: the thing.
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: There's a lot of great places to live.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't recommend Lynn would, but there's
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: a lot of great places to live.
- 1:26:24Speaker 5: I'm kidding lind with it. Well, I'm only thinking really
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: of near Highway ninety nine.
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: I'm just thinking of the well that that is.
- 1:26:32Speaker 7: Part of it.
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: Yeah, see you in that area of Lindwood. Great, that
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: is a great area with its reputation. Yeah.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, this is the last one here, sup show.
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: This is from Nick Alan.
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: Oh I'm assuming is it true that Bucky shaved his beard,
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: saw his face and then immediately regretted his decision and
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: isn't coming back until it's a full beard again.
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: Yes, that's what it is.
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: Yes, that's it. Let's just go with that.
- 1:26:57Speaker 7: Yep.
- 1:26:58Speaker 5: The medical issue was his face scared.
- 1:27:00Speaker 4: Him, and just to keep up with the theme of
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: the show, he shaved his face for Mike Tomlin and
- 1:27:08Speaker 4: then Tomlin was like, I don't think I like it.
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: Yeah, so now he's got to grow it back before
- 1:27:12Speaker 5: they can hang out again.
- 1:27:13Speaker 4: Go shave a beard and then call me.
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyway, that's one of the KJAR former well
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: not former KJR employee rumors of people hanging out with
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: head coaches these days.
- 1:27:26Speaker 5: Yeah, and no it wasn't. New York Vinnie and Kevin Stefanski.
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: All right, coming up next, it's time to draft. That's right,
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: we have our master's preview. It is the Green Jacket
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: Green Jacket Draft coming your way, plus a ceremony before
- 1:27:41Speaker 4: we get started. It's Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety
- 1:27:44Speaker 4: three point three KJRFM. By good morning. It is Chuck
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: and Ashley with you joining us. Son now on the
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: radio program, and as he does every Wednesday at this time,
- 1:28:03Speaker 4: is cracking. Color analyst al Kiniski cracking unfortunately, coming off
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: yet another lost five to two to the Minnesota Wild
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: last night, and are right there on the brink of
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: elimination from making the Stanley Cup playoffs. And obviously it's
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: not the best conversation to have. So yeah, you went, al,
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: what do you like brisket or ribs? You a brisket guy,
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: you're a ribs guy? Which one? Which do you think? You?
- 1:28:24Speaker 7: You know, if you'd asked me five years ago? Out
- 1:28:27Speaker 7: of said ribs. But I've become a brisket guy. I
- 1:28:30Speaker 7: enjoy that. That's point meat on plate with a little
- 1:28:34Speaker 7: tiny bit of barbecue sauce on the side, not on
- 1:28:36Speaker 7: the meat.
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: Just there?
- 1:28:37Speaker 7: Can you it? All?
- 1:28:38Speaker 4: Right? Do you put like the coleslaw right on the brisket?
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: Or is it just still on the side.
- 1:28:44Speaker 7: I'll fourk a knife it initially, but then you know,
- 1:28:47Speaker 7: I'll come back later, maybe later in the day, and
- 1:28:49Speaker 7: make it a little sandwich up with a little coal
- 1:28:51Speaker 7: slaw on it, a little bit of spicy barbecue sauce. Delicious.
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: Okay, all right, all right, good to know. I guess
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: we could just I mean, we could talk about rubs,
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: favorite rubs and everything else to avoid talking cracking hockey
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: right now, if.
- 1:29:05Speaker 7: You'd like, I'm doing pulled I'm doing pulled pork this
- 1:29:08Speaker 7: week for my son's birthday, and I'll tell you I'm.
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: Looking forward to it. You need a distraction, that's for sure.
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: You need something enjoyable in your life. Well, let's dive
- 1:29:18Speaker 4: in a little bit. Another loss last night, obviously on
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: the cusp of officially being eliminated from this postseason picture.
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: And it's one thing not to make it out. It's
- 1:29:29Speaker 4: another thing to just kind of collapse here down the stretch.
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: How disappointing is this for you? How disappointing do you
- 1:29:35Speaker 4: feel it is for the organization?
- 1:29:39Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's very disappointing, you know, just looking
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: at the standings this morning, it's just over a month
- 1:29:46Speaker 7: or two months ago where Seattle was in third place
- 1:29:49Speaker 7: in the Pacific right before that Olympic break, and you
- 1:29:52Speaker 7: felt like, you know, all cylinders were clicking. This team
- 1:29:54Speaker 7: is very different than last year, obviously being coached, but
- 1:29:57Speaker 7: differently under Lane Lambert, and you know, they've figured out
- 1:30:00Speaker 7: how to win with the team they have, and you know,
- 1:30:03Speaker 7: this team was firing, and something happened after the break
- 1:30:07Speaker 7: where playing the way they had up until that point
- 1:30:11Speaker 7: to get them in that position just no longer was working.
- 1:30:15Speaker 7: Now the big question of why that's a much longer
- 1:30:18Speaker 7: call than the one we have today, But it's that
- 1:30:22Speaker 7: ability to execute that system not just you know, once
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: or twice a game, but for sixty minutes. And you know,
- 1:30:29Speaker 7: the game in Minnesota last night, fantastic first period, fantastic,
- 1:30:35Speaker 7: you know, up two to one after the first period,
- 1:30:38Speaker 7: as close to a perfect period as you could play.
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: But the second period over the last ten games has
- 1:30:44Speaker 7: just been hurting, the cracking like crazy. They've got a
- 1:30:47Speaker 7: dash thirteen gold differential in the second periods over the
- 1:30:50Speaker 7: last ten games, and something's getting away from them in
- 1:30:54Speaker 7: the second period and then by the third period you're
- 1:30:56Speaker 7: chasing and oftentimes you end up on the losing side
- 1:30:58Speaker 7: of those games. So my point being is that the
- 1:31:02Speaker 7: Cracking a having a difficult time playing the win. I
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: need to play for a full sixty minutes for all
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: three periods. But when you see it like we did
- 1:31:09Speaker 7: last night, in that first period, you go, oh baby,
- 1:31:12Speaker 7: they're back. That's the system, that's the play right there,
- 1:31:15Speaker 7: and then it falls apart from there.
- 1:31:16Speaker 4: So that's frustrating when you need your best hockey and
- 1:31:20Speaker 4: you end up playing your worst, or at least you know,
- 1:31:23Speaker 4: the obviously at the losing clip is its most dramatic
- 1:31:27Speaker 4: ten of eleven six in a row. How much do
- 1:31:30Speaker 4: you read into that about, you know, what's going on
- 1:31:33Speaker 4: behind the scenes when you have a hockey team that
- 1:31:37Speaker 4: needs to play its best and instead is playing its worst.
- 1:31:41Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that there's this you know,
- 1:31:44Speaker 7: mental transition that happens when you go from being a
- 1:31:48Speaker 7: playoff contender, you know, higher in the standings to you know,
- 1:31:52Speaker 7: fighting to get back into the playoffs, to you know,
- 1:31:55Speaker 7: hoping that other teams lose and you win so that
- 1:31:59Speaker 7: you can get back to those playoffs too. Where the
- 1:32:01Speaker 7: Crack can sit right now, which is nine points out
- 1:32:04Speaker 7: of that second wild card spot. They've got five games
- 1:32:07Speaker 7: last of ten points on the line. Barnett cataclysmic failure
- 1:32:12Speaker 7: of three or four teams above them, this team's not
- 1:32:15Speaker 7: going to make the playoffs again this year. So you
- 1:32:17Speaker 7: take that next step of transition. You start thinking about, Okay,
- 1:32:20Speaker 7: changes in the offseason, you know, training camp for next year,
- 1:32:24Speaker 7: or the draft prospects and young players, planning this lineup
- 1:32:28Speaker 7: for these last five games, which I expect to see
- 1:32:31Speaker 7: a lot more of. So you know that's what's happening
- 1:32:34Speaker 7: in the front office. I've got to believe anyway. And
- 1:32:38Speaker 7: you know you see the frustration in the interviews with
- 1:32:41Speaker 7: Lane Lambert after the game, like he's only saying what
- 1:32:44Speaker 7: he can say, but you can sense the frustration and
- 1:32:47Speaker 7: how did we get here from where we were just
- 1:32:50Speaker 7: a couple of months ago.
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know there's a lot of turn and
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: burn in the NBA and in the NHL when it
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: comes to coaches, but I think it's worth asking you
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: reiterating that you leave Lane Lambert should stay and will stay.
- 1:33:04Speaker 7: Yeah, I do. I do. I really like his style,
- 1:33:08Speaker 7: his approach to this team. He's taken the team he
- 1:33:11Speaker 7: has and tried to put the best systems in place
- 1:33:14Speaker 7: to put the best product on the ice, and I
- 1:33:16Speaker 7: think that that's all you can ever ask for in
- 1:33:17Speaker 7: a coach. You can't have a coach that's going to
- 1:33:20Speaker 7: coach his team like he's got Connor McDavid and Nathan
- 1:33:22Speaker 7: McKinnon and macken celebrity when you don't have those pieces.
- 1:33:25Speaker 7: So he's playing the hand he's been dealt, and like
- 1:33:30Speaker 7: I said, up until that Olympic break, he's been playing
- 1:33:32Speaker 7: it very well. But at the end of the day,
- 1:33:35Speaker 7: you are the coach. You are the person behind the bench.
- 1:33:37Speaker 7: You are the one talking to the guys and have
- 1:33:40Speaker 7: to go out and do what you're talking to them about.
- 1:33:42Speaker 7: And that's that's in their hands. So unfortunately, it looks
- 1:33:46Speaker 7: like the Cracket are probably going to end up finishing,
- 1:33:49Speaker 7: you know, league wide, very similar to where they were
- 1:33:52Speaker 7: last year, which was twenty seventh out of thirty two teams.
- 1:33:55Speaker 7: Right now, they're sitting at twenty eight five games left.
- 1:33:58Speaker 7: You know, if they can squeeze out of more wins,
- 1:34:00Speaker 7: they might improve that positioning as far as the draft
- 1:34:03Speaker 7: lottery goes. But yeah, that's it's very unfortunate because, like
- 1:34:07Speaker 7: I said, from the very begin this year, this team
- 1:34:09Speaker 7: looks better to me than it looked last year. Now,
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: a lot that had to do with Lane Lambert and
- 1:34:14Speaker 7: his coaching style, but even the personnel on the ice
- 1:34:17Speaker 7: looked better than it did last year. And then you
- 1:34:19Speaker 7: inject Boby McMahon into the lineup and it looks better again.
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: So you know, I, amongst many are very frustrated with
- 1:34:26Speaker 7: where the team sits right now.
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: Al Kiniski with us color analysts for the KRACK and
- 1:34:30Speaker 4: who have just collapsed here down the stretch, not going
- 1:34:34Speaker 4: to make the playoffs this year, and we are coming
- 1:34:36Speaker 4: to grips with that here at the flagship for Crack
- 1:34:38Speaker 4: and Hockey Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. You
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: mentioned a couple of times the Olympic break that was taken.
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: I mean it's been mentioned with this Mariner's slow start
- 1:34:49Speaker 4: as well, that maybe the WBC being away from the
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: coaches during spring training had an adverse effect on our
- 1:34:57Speaker 4: best players. I don't know, is that just a convenient
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: excuse or is there something to read into that that
- 1:35:06Speaker 4: maybe some organizations just really can't afford to be a
- 1:35:12Speaker 4: part for two weeks a month at a time and
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: expect to keep the same chemistry. How do you read
- 1:35:17Speaker 4: into that.
- 1:35:19Speaker 7: Well, I think anytime you have an extended period of
- 1:35:22Speaker 7: time off in any professional sport, it takes time to
- 1:35:25Speaker 7: get back, get your legs back, gets your flowback. And
- 1:35:29Speaker 7: is there a magic number that's the right amount of
- 1:35:32Speaker 7: time off? I don't think, so it's different for everybody.
- 1:35:35Speaker 7: I do think that three weeks is probably too much
- 1:35:38Speaker 7: for most people, depending on what you're doing over those
- 1:35:41Speaker 7: three weeks. But listen, if you're injured or you're fighting injury,
- 1:35:44Speaker 7: that's going to help you. But clearly it looks like
- 1:35:47Speaker 7: with the crack and the guys that ended up going
- 1:35:49Speaker 7: and playing in the Olympics actually excelled their games coming back. Specifically,
- 1:35:54Speaker 7: Philip Grubauer and Copocaco have been excellent since that break.
- 1:35:58Speaker 7: But you know, to your to your question, I think
- 1:36:01Speaker 7: you naturally draw lines in the sand and say where
- 1:36:04Speaker 7: do things change? And I think that that Olympic break
- 1:36:07Speaker 7: stands out for this team right now. Is the same
- 1:36:09Speaker 7: for everybody in the league. No, But for some reason
- 1:36:11Speaker 7: that the Cracker that that seems to be where things change.
- 1:36:14Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's close with this then, because it's
- 1:36:18Speaker 4: a mostly somber conversation that we've had. I had more
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: fun talking barbecue with you. So how adventurous do you
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: get on the grill? Do you just stick with meat
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: or do you feel confident enough in your skills that
- 1:36:30Speaker 4: you start doing things like, you know, pineapple or salad.
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: I once had a grilled salad at a restaurant. It
- 1:36:37Speaker 4: was fantastic corn on the grill. How crazy does al
- 1:36:41Speaker 4: Kiniski get at his home grill?
- 1:36:43Speaker 7: Well, listen, I like myself of a little bourbon and
- 1:36:45Speaker 7: an old fashioned bill, So don't shy away from smoking
- 1:36:48Speaker 7: some oranges on the grill, a little bit of a
- 1:36:51Speaker 7: smoked orange in your old fashion. You could do cold
- 1:36:55Speaker 7: smoked cheeses. I haven't done that yet, but I think
- 1:36:58Speaker 7: that's interesting. Mostly meats, though, one of my favorites is
- 1:37:02Speaker 7: actually doing homemade beef jerkey because you get to put
- 1:37:05Speaker 7: what you want in it. You don't have to add
