  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KHRFM. I'm not sure, or
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: something weird seems to be at play here this morning.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I walked out on March thirteenth, on
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a Friday the thirteen, huh, and maybe I was imagining it,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: but it looked to me like we have snow on
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the ground.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: While the rest of the country's under heat warning, we
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: have snow on the ground. On March thirteenth. So did
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I imagine that is just some weird stuff going on
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: at my in my brain, because there's some other things
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I could tell you about.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I really could a lot of weird stuff going on
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in your brain.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, this abnormal boat.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: But I think this time you're onto something.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: How much now did you get? Because I had like
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: an inch?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. I woke up at two to do
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the fifty year old go to the bathroom. That's always fun.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: No snow on the ground. Woke up at four to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: about five inches on the ground. Oh yeah, dumping gigantic flakes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So brought the truck in today and it was it
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: was a dump. It was a big dumper, big dumper
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: out in the bend. Uh yeah we uh we got Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: it's still coming down. I'm schools delayed out where we're
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: at two hour delay. So I mean it's yeah. Mother
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: nature is bipolar.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: She is she's she's angry, wrong with her.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I think she's just a little left up.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: She might be in the middle of a divorce or something.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I think it was capering period. Yeah, I'm very moody.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Usually before the campering period effect is there. She is
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: lingering make up your mind. Woman.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Man, she's been around a little while, you would think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that that wouldn't still be an issue.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: If she ages, you don't grow out of an age,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: watch it for.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Her, because that would make me grumpy if that never
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: went away.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe that's a problem.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I hear you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, she's angry right now. Nothing she does make sense anymore.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: She is all over the plant fury.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe she's going through the pause because that makes them
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: really angry.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: There's just a midlife crisis that's usually attached to men.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But I mean, has anybody checked a Mother Nature bought
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a sports car, you know, not in this weather. Maybe
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: got some hair implants, you know, dating the young her
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: hair is great, the young secretary at the Mother Nature office.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe maybe there's something going on. Maybe we're
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: at the midway point of existence.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe talk about that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It feels like we're closer to the end, So that's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: good if we're only halfway through.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hadn't considered any of that before point. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: think you guys are really firing on all cylinders.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: You're right, we've never been sharper. Yeah, so I don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: have my phone with me. By the way, I don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: know if you tried to. I told Buckey, I said,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: keep your eye on your phone. It was snowing. Ashley
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: might have some difficulty getting in on time here today,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So if she sent me a text, I didn't get it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have my phone. And the reason that I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: didn't have my phone is I have switched over. I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: doing this protein puck thing in the morning that I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: doing like the twelve hour fasting, and Ashley tells me
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be sixteen, but I'm doing it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I said, that's just what I heard was the average
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: doing a great job.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So twelve hours. I was only eating like a breakfast
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: bar in that twelve hours. So I'm just like, well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: if there's some merit to this thing, I'm so close
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to intermittent fasting, then I might as well just push
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: off my breakfast bar until the given time. So I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: started carrying a breakfast bar to work. But it's Friday.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I haven't had great naps this week. By Friday, we're
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit just to let you know we're you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we're it takes its toll.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: By Friday, in after staying up in the clubhouse right
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: on Friday.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't even drink last night. You can't even blame
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it on that. So I'm leaving and I check all
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the things to make sure I out all my stuff,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and I reach into my pocket and I feeled my phone.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Right it was this. It was my protein puck, which
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: is about the same size. Yeah, the same weight and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the same hardness. It doesn't do the same thing, so
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: it does not do the same things. I am not
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: able to text with a protein puck, as it turns out.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Is you can try it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So I got to work and I'm like, pull out
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: my phone. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's a protein puck.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I don't have my phone with me anyway. Weird things
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Snow on our first snowfall of the entire winter is
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on March. I mean it's spring.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, supposed to be.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had the clocks and everything.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Spring was official on the twentieth.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, and now we're getting our first snow.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Ashley's wanted to snow this entire winter, and she gets
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: one in the spring.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We had a little bit in the fall, like late fall,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and I was like, well, that's gonna be great. We're
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gonna get so much snow this winter it's gonna be awesome.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Then nothing. Now I love snow. That's pretty. It's very pretty.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: A whole bunch of late snow. I need a whole
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: bunch of like baseballs.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: The nice thing about the late snow is it doesn't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: linger like it'll warm up fast enough that it's going
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to be gone, versus when you get in the middle
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of the winter that stuff hangs around.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: M Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean by the time most normal people wake up
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: this morning, you'll probably already be melted off. But it
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: snowed the whole way on the drive end. They were not.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Where you are.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, for those that don't live.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: In the islands, Yeah, it's I don't know what is
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: going on, to be honest. Maybe it's a Friday thirteenth thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I think maybe that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I killed my neighbor with a machete wearing
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a hockey mask. That is Friday the thirteenth for sure,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So that's just some weird stuff.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, if it's Friday thirteenth, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: don't win. In Rome, they say you just got to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: get your hockey mask in your and your machete out
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: After you do that, you're supposed to lay low, is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, you're not probably supposed to announce it,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: but no one knows which neighbor or like, I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Only do it on Friday the thirteenth, So we only
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: did it last month in this month, right, haven't we
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: had two?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Two in a row?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, it only happens every ten years, according to the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: show before us.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Well then that is bizarre right there. That's why all
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: this bizarre stuff's happening so far.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Much going on? Yeah, I don't know how to keep up. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know anyway.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Well, good morning to you, Good morning to you too,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday to everybody. Morning, Mother Nature? Yeah, and and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: mother Nature. If there's anything we can get you to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: help your mood, yeah, there's anything. Do you need some tea?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Do you need a nice shawl coco?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah? That help?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Could a handstitch you an Afghan? I don't know, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: is there something that would make you feel better about us?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Apparently not?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Apparently not.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I give Mother Nature a foot rub? Is that like
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a sexual gesture toward Mother Nature?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: That I mean?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want to send the wrong.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: They do say that can always start something.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: That is it? Okay?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Can I purchase me of a foot rub?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: For mother nature? She needs some help. She does need
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: some help right now. She has got issues.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, we've got four hours planned for you today,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and of course we will wrap up the frenzy today.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And we didn't get a new player yesterday who we
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: should discuss right now on the radio program. Not take
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: another second to discuss him, because I mean, right now,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: he looks to be the answer for John Schneider to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the question who's replacing Ken Walker? And I'm not sure
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he was on a lot of people's short list of candidates,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: even though and I'm not saying this just to butter
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: up the Executive of the year. I didn't even know
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: this guy was a free agent. He was so far
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: down on the list. I didn't even come across him
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in my research because I'm not I think by the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: time I every time I apparently looked at a running
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: back list, I stopped at an area where I'm like, well,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: anybody but below this line I'm not interested in. But
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: whenever he makes the move, I'm like, you know what,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that's pretty slippery. He looked pretty good when he was
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: filling in for Josh Jacobs a couple of times this
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: past year. He's twenty six years old from a small college,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Fort Valley. Four yards per carry this past season, and yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: it's a short sample size. He didn't play a lot
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: for Josh Jacobs, but he had almost five hundred yards
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: rushing this past year in a limited time, averaged four
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: yards per carry. And I got to admit, when he
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was on the football field, I kind of liked what
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I saw. And so I'm sure that there's not a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Seahawk fan that's like, whow okay, that problem solved. Why
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: did I ever worry about g beeting rid of ken Walker?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Never mind, I'll just relax now. I'm sure there's not
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: any Seahawk fan that is in that mode. And I'm
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: not sure that John and Mike are done. They might
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: add another free agent because he only cost two million dollars.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: For goodness sake, you want to talk about a cheap
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: free agent in the free agent process, And they still
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: have the draft to go, and they could still make
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a trade at that position. But you know what, for
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: one year two million dollars, take a flyer on somebody.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: What little I saw of Emmanuel Wilson last last year.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I really did kind of like and so that John
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Schneider might have done it again.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I think he did well. Yeah, he definitely
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: did it. Did the part that I this kind of
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: follows what we were thinking he would do. Right, You
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: just start filling the room with a qualified guy, guy
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: that's been there and done that. Maybe not as a
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: starter per se, but he's kind of the last two
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: years have started to make a little bit of an
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: impact and be called upon. I mean, he was almost
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: five yards of carry of the year before with again
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: limited touches, but I mean he's a guy that I
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: mean over his career so far. His first year didn't
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: get a whole heck of a lot of work, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: on the eighty five yards and barely touched the ball
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: at all. But the last couple of years he's gotten
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: over a hundred carries. I mean, he's he's he's shown
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: that he can be an effective runner, maybe not your one,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: but definitely a piece, maybe a one B. And yet
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I think this is just one of those Okay, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: throw this into the mix and he might be the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: guy that if depending on how you draft or what
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: else you do in free agency. He might be the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: guy that fills the Zach Charbonese runs a lot like
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Zach Charbonay is fast. He's kind of a human truck
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: stick type of a guy. And I mean I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: that he brings a lot to the table with some upside. Still,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: you don't really know what it is you're getting. It's
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: not like you went out there and got you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, which you know what type of a runner
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: he was, and you're wondering what he's going to be.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: This is more of a young who knows this guy
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: could be somebody that if you give him two hundred
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: touches he ends up popping and gets close to one
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: hundred yards. I mean, if he stays close to what
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: his average has been so far. I mean his average
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: as far as all of his carries, it's only two
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and andre and forty two is four and a half
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: yards of carry so far in the NFL. So yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: fied guy. I mean a guy that you definitely go, well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I don't hate pieces. I don't hate it, that's for sure.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't hate it either. And yeah, averaging over
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: four yards per carry, I'm like, okay, Yeah, you're efficient,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You're doing something right. And what we need is somebody
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that can fill in while Zach Charbonay is out, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: then somebody that can compliment. The two of them can
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: compliment that each other when Charbony is healthy. So I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, when given a workload, and that didn't happen
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: because he was backing up Josh Jacobs. When given a workload,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, in the last game against Minnesota, not very
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: productive at all. Eighteen carries forty four yards. That's two
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: point four yards per carry. But in the Bears game
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: where you got fourteen touches eighty two yards, five point
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: nine yards per carry, and that's what a fourteen I mean,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: sometimes that can be swayed because you had one thirty
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: five yard carry. I mean, his longest run that day
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: was fourteen, So that tends to right. He's moving the chains.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: He's moving the chains. That without me going back and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: watching the Bears game, that suggests he was moving the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: chains that day. He got to start against Minnesota, got
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to play the entire game. Twenty eight carries, one hundred
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and seven yards. I mean, that's carrying the two touchdowns
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in that game. Caught a couple passes in that game,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: got eleven carries against the Giants for forty yards and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. Got eleven carries against the Steelers sixty one
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: yards in that game, plus four catches for twenty six yards.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So when he was actually fed, I mean, that's that's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: on par with starting running back.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Terrific production right there.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. As your game log resume now,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it's still an incredibly short sample size there. Obviously wasn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a huge appetite for Emmanuel Wilson on the free agent market,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm not trying to sell you that. You know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: John Schneider's replaced ken Walker with a player on a
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: one year, two point one million dollar deal, But what
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I am going to sell you on for one year
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: two point one million dollars, that's a pretty sneaky good
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued kind of move to replace ken Walker
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and Zach Charbonney and that combination. And we know that
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: they're not done adding to the running back room. But
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I have zero problem with this guy being inside it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: No, I'm with you. It's again, you just gotta have
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff you can throw against the wall
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: and hope that enough of it sticks that you have
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: a valid running game. I'm not gonna lie. I end
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: up running. When I think of guys running down the
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: list of free agents, I kind of look at the
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: names and I go, did I ever think about picking
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: that guy up in fantasy? This is a guy that
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I did pick up a fantasy I think she.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I think Ashley did too, because you had Josh Jacobs, right,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I think I did.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you did too.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And he's a guy that he isn't one that
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: you're gonna, you know, lock in, like if you have
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey. He's not that guy in your fantasy. But
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: he he that's because he doesn't get enough operation. He's
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: going to be He's gonna be well. I wouldn't be
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: surprised if he ends up being a piece. And I
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: think that this is this is a sneaky move. Where
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: again it's you know the John Schneider. This is their job, right,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: He's looking at every single guy and running it through,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: you know, different metrics, I'm sure, and run it by
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: their scouts or what they like, what they don't like.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you just kind of get into the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: nitty gritty of what majority of people think he brings
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: something to the table that I think is effective, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: yet you just don't know for sure what it's got
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: because it's such a small sample size.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I mean three years he became a free agent. He's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: twenty six years old. We've talked about John's affinity for
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you know, young free agents, and it's not just young
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: in terms of I mean usually when you look at
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: a running back, you don't look at what make and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: model it was. You go see how many miles it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: gone to figure out it's worth coming off the lot.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And he has two hundred and forty two career carries.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I mean that's less than a season for RB one yep.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I mean Derek Henry had three hundred and forty touches
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: at age thirty this past year, and so two hundred
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and forty two carries. I mean he's basically that's one
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: year of abuse, right, No, one year worth of abuse
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that he's taken over the span of three years. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: he becomes a free agent. So in terms of rolls
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: of the dice, I mean, I never even thought of
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: this guy, but as soon as I saw him, I'm like,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that's pretty good. I kind of like that, and we'll see,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: we'll see. Maybe all he needs is an opportunity. There
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: are a lot of running back can't say this about
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the quarterback position, but the running back position more so
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: than any other position. You know, this is where that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: dime a dozen conversation comes into play that so many
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: football fans love or hate that. You know what, Ken
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Walker's gonna make fifteen million dollars this upcoming year and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson's going to make two million dollars. And we've
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of guys that were drafted late or
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: we're giving up on early in their careers and they
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: get to the right opportunity and all of a sudden,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, we got twelve hundred yard back and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: he costs two million dollars for this upcoming year.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll take it. Yeah, I don't know if the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you know, it's typical. It's not typical that a running
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: back or anybody for that matter, will come in and
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: not be an impact player and then somehow work their
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: way into it. But you're right, running backs do have
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: that way in which they can do it if all
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, an injury at the most injury prone
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: position happens and you all of a sudden get your
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: crack at it. The last couple of years, he's gotten
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: enough cracks that all of a sudden he's found himself
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: away to where I don't think he had any worry
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: whether or not he was going to find a place
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: on a roster now, whether he was going to find
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: a roster spot that was going to give him the
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: opportunity to maybe be a starter to start the season off.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And then even when a Zach Charbonney type guy comes
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: back that you're still going to be in the share.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy that I don't think
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you have to worry about whether or he's going to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: make the team. He's a guy that is going to
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: be a piece now, whether or not he's a legit
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: guy that you're win Zach Charboney is healthy enough come back,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: You're like, boy, we have an issue. This What are
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: we gonna do? This guy's been running like a running back.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: One fine, that's a okay. Then you don't have to
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: rely on Zach Charbonay being anything more than what he's
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: been so far. Since he's been a Seahawk, you kind
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: of have filled a void to some extent, even if
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: you don't feel like it's completely filled or your confidence
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: levels through the roof. It's just as one of those,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: like you said, two hundred and forty two carries, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: over one hundred, over a thousand yards. With those carries,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: at this point in time, he's been effective, and now
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: this is one of those. You might be able to
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: throw him a bone or dangle that carry out in front, like, hey,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: do you want to be an RB one? Because he
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: might be enough. He might be able to be a
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: guy that could do exactly that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a great problem to have.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I look forward to it, and.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: He'll be on a free agent contract. I mean, he'll
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: have a one year prove it. This is gonna be
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the most carries you've gotten in your career kind of situation.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: So let's see what he can do with it. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: do not hate it, and I promise you at some point,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it would be one time, maybe fifteen,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I will refer to him as Emmanuel Lewis. I will
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: do that. Okay, that's inevitable. Yeah TV's Webster, Yeah, TV's Webster.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I love that show.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Not the same guy with George and ma'am, Yes, exactly.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: George Papadoccus I think that was his name was. Yeah,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I might be confusing him with Petros. All right, let's
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: find out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: What's on what's on tep?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: All right, Greg Bell will be with us a seven
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: o five. We'll get the latest on what he's hearing
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: about the Emmanuel Wilson signing and the entire frenzy week
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: in review. Also, yeah, we did have to summon Hugh Millen.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: According to Hugh himself, it was his mission to watch
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: every single snap of Emmanuel Wilson before he came on
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: our heir here this morning. And so h QB one
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: if you want to have some QB one analysis for
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you today on this this player, this free agent signing.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So we'll do that at nine o'clock. We'll have time
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: to get into so other things as well. Kyler Murray
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is a Minnesota Viking. We'll find some time to talk
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: about that here this morning. Interesting move by the Vikings.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Is it a suggestion that they have already given up
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: on the JJ McCarthy experiment. That's something we'll discuss later
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: on in the show. NFL Free Agency Frenzy ends today.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: The frenzy period is over. They're still free agents to sign,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: and we still have a lot of the off season
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to go. But now much too Bucky and Ashley's delight.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bucky's already jumping the gun yesterday. Draft miss
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: is the next thing on our list, and so I know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to keep him contained. Unintentional or
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: it was your one last thing to bring up yesterday,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and that's what you chose. College basketball, the Husky season
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: ended yesterday. They were competitive, very competitive, had a shot
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to win late against Wisconsin, lost by three. So their
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: season comes to a close. The Big Ten Tournament, of course,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: will continue without them quadruple starting at nine o'clock today
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: in the top four seeds in the tournament will make
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: their tournament debuts today. In the Big Ten, the Avalanche
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: won over the Kraken last night, five to one, And
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: so I don't know about this team. The only thing
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: you can say is that there's likely going to be
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a seven game winning streak in our near future, because
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: that's just the way they've played all season long. But
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: they're playing like crap right now. They've lost four straight
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: games and they'll be in Vancouver tomorrow night to try
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: to end this skid, and we still don't know when
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon is going to play. He did not play
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: last night for the team, and it's frustrating the organization
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: to a very nauseating level. San Jose, they will play
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Sunday at four o'clock, not Saturday. Most of the MLS
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: plays Saturday, but the Sounders are special. They will play
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Saturday Sunday, excuse me, in San Jose against the Earthquakes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: WBC resumes tonight. The US will be in action against
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor and Team Canada at five o'clock. The first
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: game will be played three point thirty today. That is
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Julio and the Dominican Republic taking on Korea, and then
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: two more games on Saturday. As now, we are out
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: of pool play, so this is elimination baseball right now.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Lose and you are out of the tournament. And the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Mariners spring training welcomed back Randy a Rose Arena, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: so I'm wondering if there's something that can be discussed
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: on that front. I wonder if that's actually a valuable
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: chip to this ridiculous controversy that has popped up at
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the WBC. We'll discuss at next Sports Radio ninety three
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: point three KJRFM. Hey, good Friday morning, Welcome into the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: radio show. It is Chuck Powell, former Mariner, Bucky Jacobson, and.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Ashley Ryan with you.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell coming your way at seven ozer five his
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: take on the Emmanuel Wilson signing yesterday. Hugh Millen will
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: be with us at nine o'clock as well. So we
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: got a lot of things to do, plus your o show,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: your Booze news, and so much more on today's radio
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: program as we wrap up what has been a crazy
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: week sports talk radio. So many juicy topics, and unfortunately
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: this was one of them. I think we all hate
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: that Randy and Cal have this thing out there, right Yeah,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I mean as and I'm sure Bucky it's going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be nothing, and I'm sure it's not going to be
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: part of the conversation when the season begins. I think
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: that we'll look back and laugh at remember when we
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: had to talk about that Randy cow handshake thing. I'm
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: pretty sure that's where it's going to end up in
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the discarded pile of silly things that we had to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: discuss in sports talk radio. But it obviously is not
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: resolved at this point, and I think that it might
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: be a good thing. You tell me that Randy rose
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Arena has been a lemon from the WBC and will
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: be reporting back to Peoria earlier than Cal so that
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: some people can talk to him and make sure there
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: is nothing going on there.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm with you. I mean, I think it's
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: definitely better than had they met again, because I wouldn't
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: be surprised if Randy would double down on it. Yeah, handshake,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And I pretty sure Cal is not going to change.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: He's not gonna flip on. He just simply is saying no,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing that. I didn't. It wasn't meant as
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: some sort of giant disrespect. It's just that's what I
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: have decided to do, or that's what we as a
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: squad have decided to do, is not do the same
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: hugging and you know, fraternizing if you will. And so
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's in a back off of where
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: he was at. Even though he doesn't want it, he
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't want it to be a beef. I'm sure it'll
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: get squashed, But yeah, I think there's a definite something
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: where you know he's gonna get called in with Dan
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: when he gets back, or he's already back, I would
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: imagine and hey, what's going on. Well he made me
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: look stupid up there. Well he wasn't trying to. Can
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: we understand that, It just is, it's different strokes for
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: different folks. If you want to be the one that
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: handshakes and does that, fine you can. And on the
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: flip side of it, if you don't want to do it,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: you don't have to do it. That's it, plain and simple.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: It's not well I wanted to, so you have to
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: or you're a bad person. No, it really doesn't mean
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that much. And so I'm hoping that the organization kind
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: of wrapped their arms around him, say dude, come out.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: We do not want to start the season with some
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: sort of beef that is not an intended beef. Right.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: If Kel was like, yeah, I don't really care for
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: him and I don't like the way that he plays
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: a game, then you got an issue. If he didn't
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: mean it that way, he just meant it as I'm
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: in game mode or whatever whatever that means, then that's
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: what it means, and we need to get over it
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: a little bit. So I'm hoping that it can be
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: water under the bridge sooner than later.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's water under the bridge for Randy.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: He went on too his Instagram and posted videos of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of other players hugging and yeah, so he's I mean,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this is the problem that I have as your teammate
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: reached out to you to try and squash whatever misunderstanding
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: or whatever issue there was at the plate and your
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: postgame comments. After he directly reached out to you, he
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: didn't talk to reporters to tell you he's sorry he
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: reached out to you. Reportedly, Randy has not gotten back
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in contact with Cal right except and so all he's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: going to do is then post things on social media.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: M hm. I mean, come on, twenty six of you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your teammates. This isn't something that you're you know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you're just two people that play on different teams and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you don't you're hardly ever going to see each other,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and you just want to kind of be mad at him.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: You've got to figure this out, and being passive aggressive
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: with social media post isn't the way to do it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like that either. I do want to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: be careful. I'm not given Cal a complete pass on this.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I wish he would have done it. He chose not to.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: No big deal. I think that as captain, you could
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: do even more than just text your text somebody that
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: you think him. You could have called him. I mean, hell,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you're in the same city. You could have gone to
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: see him and make sure that everything's okay. But I
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: think over the course of one hundred and sixty two
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: game season, I'm going to be spending the next seven
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: months of my life, hopefully eight with you. I got
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: time to fix this relationship that should not should not
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: be an issue, but it obviously is. And that's another
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: reason exactly what you both brought up. I mean, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: think it's good that the Mariners get him back in
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the facility, and I wouldn't be surprised if in a
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: sit down meeting they don't have a conference call with
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: cal and bring him in there and force them to
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: have a conversation about it, like a zoom call sort
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: of thing. But also I think it's good, as Bucky
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: pointed out, that they're not going to meet again, because
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I mean, it's very clear that the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Latino teams are making an example out of America and
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the way that they are conducting themselves, and so they're
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: going to lay it on thick if they meet up
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: in a game. I mean they are laying it on
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: thick for a reason the whole I mean, they're going
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: out of their way to hug each other, and they're
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: you know, fraternizing at the base paths, and they're sharing hats,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: and they're posting videos. They are going out of their
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: way to say, this is the way we play the game,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: and we don't like the way that you have taught
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: us or told us that we should play the game.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: And so there's going to be there's gonna be some stuff.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Well it's gonna happen. Well I don't know, but there's
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: gonna be some stuff. There are going to be some
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: incidents whenever the US and it won't happen in the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Canadian round, but if we face the Dominican in the
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: second round, I can promise you there are going to
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: be some gestures intended to get under the skin of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the US team, to force them to react to how
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: they are lovingly wanting to play the game. And so
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: if they would, if cal would have ended up, as
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: you pointed out, meeting Randy in another game, at least
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: there's one incident, and now we deal with it. If
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you didn't talk and you meet up, now all of
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you're playing with fire, you might add more fuel.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Well, no matter what happened, there would have been more
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: fuel added to it. So if Randy doesn't go up
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: and shake his hand, what was that because he's bitter,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: he doesn't even go up an attempt to, or if
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: he attempts to and it gets another deny. The only
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: thing I guess it could have happened is if he
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: hops up and shakes his hand or gives him a dab,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: or he probably would have loved it. If he gets
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: up and embraces him and maybe wraps a leg around him,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: that would have been the best case scenario, like look,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I love you, maybe a kiss on the cheek? Does that?
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Are we good? Now? I don't know exactly what it
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: takes to get this is over beyond just a conversation
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: and realize it is exactly that the Latin American players,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: they don't play by those same rules of when does
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: it turn in to this is going to battle right,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: this is we're in full competitive mode. They just don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: do it. I mean I can remember seeing guys talk
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: to each other like holding hands, literally holding hands, talking
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: to each other before a game. There was I had
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: plenty of buddies on the other teams. There was no
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: part of me that ever wanted to embrace them. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: mean I had. I can remember tapping a catcher on
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: the shin guards coming up right first, Aby, boom, what's up?
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: And that's it. And yet that is I guess less
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: than what Cal gave at this point in time, or
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: or didn't try to extend that to me. It's just
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: you're entitled to however you want to go about doing it,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: especially in this tournament where it is the Dominican gets
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to play how the Dominicans play, Venezuelan's play, how Americans play,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: how they went. Everybody gets to go about their business
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: how them and their manager and their team, their country
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: wants to go about doing it. And at this point
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: it's just basically two different two different countries, going out
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: it two different ways, and there's beef with it. So
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: hopefully they figure this whole thing out, because I'm I
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: don't really want it to linger and carry on into
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the season, that's for sure.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Definitely think somebody at the Marriagers is going to have
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: an actual chat with Randy and be like, all right,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: what's the problem. How are we going to fix this?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anyone if he'd stayed at the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: WBC was going to do that. They were going to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: let him continue to be angry if he is angry.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I think it's a good thing that
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: one of the teams has been eliminated. And as an
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: American the US, I prefer that Mexico be eliminated. Thats
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: just me, my own admitted bias toward Mike Country. So
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that it's Randy and that I think it's
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: good for him to be back there, and I think
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: it's good for them not to meet. But the store
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: is not over. As I said, They're going to be
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: some They're going to be some over the top gestures
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: that are going to be made if the US faces
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the Dominican on Sunday. Now, US has to get past
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Canada and the Dominican has to get past Korea. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: there's chance that you're right, Julio and Kal are going
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to be on the same field come what Sunday. And
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, those are the two pillars player wise in
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the organization, and if there's some sort of gesture made
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: toward cal Rawley might not be done.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: We'll see, but the story's not over, that's for sure.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It's very clear that the Latin American countries are making
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: an example of why they think the way the US
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: is handling this thing is, in their minds ridiculous. So
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: they're not done. You know, they're probably going to go
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: over the top on Sunday.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, guarantee they did. Yeah, guarantee. I'll be interested
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: to see what happens when Naylor walks up there today.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think Naylor would even attempt like because
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I just think he's going to have the same mentality
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of I'm playing in the game.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: We'll see, Yeah, we'll see, all right, coming up next. Man,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I really didn't expect a basketball court to become a controversy,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: but it is. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Bucky pointed this out to me yesterday. I just thought
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: it was a great court and they were trying to
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: be you know, you know, we can't possibly have a
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: court that looks like would so we've got to come
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: up with something that is the next level. Oh, it
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: was the next level, all right, the Big Twelve tournament.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: It was the idea. And this is the best conference
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: in college basketball, by the way, they don't need like
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: gimmicks to sell. How good a product that they have
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve. But they came up with an
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: idea that let's make the basketball court an LED screen. Yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not making that up. They made at the court
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: out of it's an LED screen so that they could
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: show graphics and all these and it was cool.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I'll give them that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: It really did look cool. And you know, they could
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: do split screens with stats of the two best players
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and show where they were. It looked cool. But unfortunately
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: it wasn't safe right. Players kept falling all over themselves.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It became an injury risk, and so the Big Twelve
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: has announced overnight that they will get rid of the
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: floor and actually go to a more classic wood floor
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the tournament. Bucky, I can't believe
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: that an LED screen wasn't safe for basketball players to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: play on.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I'm really surprised by that. Yeah, really shocked. When I
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: saw it, I was like, if I if I missed this,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: has this has been going on you know, And I'm like,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: that's because that's not your that's not a projector, that's
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: not like shooting stuff.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: We see at cracking games before the games, they you'll
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: see the deep and the cracking come out. But it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: a projected image down on the ice. It's not the
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: ice itself as a as a TV screen. And yet
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: when you start watching, like, well, there's no way because
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: the players are walking around on it and the TV
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: is not changing, right, not from a projection coming down
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: from above. And so I'm with you. I thought, well,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: it looks cool, they look cool, but now coming out.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's Kansas State forward McGriff ended up suffering
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: a migraine that he attributes to it. There was a
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech star Christian Anderson, and suffered a growing injury.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: There was multiple guys that said they felt dizzy and
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: that their eyes were strained because of it. I mean, you're, well,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: any change that is cool, quote unquote cool, but it's
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: bad for the actual game and the players playing on it. Bad.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Idea probably should have had that tested out.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: The crazy thing is they had this for the women's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: tournament last week and had problems, and then they were
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: like yeah, we should definitely keep it for the men's tournament.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure they spent a lot of money on it,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure they wanted to showcase it, and I'm
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: sure they wanted to be given credit for changing the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: way that basketball looks. And maybe that's eventually where it
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: will get to. Maybe we will well yeah, I mean,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: you got to fix all the problems, clearly, but maybe
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: that's where it does go, and maybe we'll look back
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: on it and say, man, the Big twelve came up
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: with that idea, and I can't imagine watching a basketball
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: game without that. But I was telling Bucky in the moment,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: and the moment, I'm like, I don't want to sound
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: this is gonna sound as old and fuddy duddy as
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: it possibly can sound. But I just think basketball should
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: be played on a hardwood, yellow.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Floor with normal graphics like a team logo and a
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: league logo, and that's it. You don't need all the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: other things that make it hard to watch the game
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: because you can't see what's happening because the floor is
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: so in your face.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Oregon's Oregon's floor makes me throw up, and they don't
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: even have laser beams on that. Yeah, So to me,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: that stuff again, I don't want to sound old.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It was cool.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe if you can make it safe, maybe that is
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: the future of basketball and I will grow to love
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: it and embrace it. But to not test it out,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: to not have a couple of games, to not see
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: if it made the players want to puke, is a
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: real big oversight on the part of the Big Tour.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I actually, I mean I like the coolness part of it,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: but it has to still be functional. I mean, first
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: and foremost, it can't be slippery. Your basketball court can't
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: be slippery, and that that's what it was or it is.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, to me, the lack of kind of
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: running it through the paces to make sure it was
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: going to be functional over cool. That's another welcome to
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Well it's cool. Who cares if it's
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit slippery.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like the kind of important that it's not.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean not to mention some basketball courts, you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: remember like some felt more bouncy, right, you felt like
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: you could jump higher off. Yeah, I don't want to
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: be slippery. I don't want anything to affect the way
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: in which the guys actually end goals, go out and
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: play the game, and if it affects them negatively that way,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you've made a drafting mistake.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Well, even just the handling of the ball, I mean,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: the way that a ball bounces off of a court
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: varies from court to court that you play on. In
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: there somewhere you feel that most you get like a
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: true bounce, but there are some courts that you play
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: on it doesn't feel like it's coming up to me. Now,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: maybe that's been solved since I played basketball. I don't
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: know if anybody knew.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really, but maybe that's been solved, maybe just because
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I did high school gym. But every gym, every floor
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: is a little bit different. I can't imagine that an
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: led floor you're getting the same feel on every bounce
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: that you get off of a normal wood floor. But
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: they're changing it the rest of the tournament's going to
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: be played. They're scrapping the idea and they're just going
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: to chalk it up to we've got some things to
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: work on. I guess coming up next. Headlines and Greg
