0:00
Speaker 1: It's time for the show audio about the best twelve
0:05
Speaker 1: minutes of eight minutes of radio. I'm brought to you
0:08
Speaker 1: by the rich complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey weather By.
0:12
Speaker 2: Please drink responsibly Alrida eight o'clock hour here on this Friday.
0:19
Speaker 2: My name is Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan here as well.
0:22
Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson is out today. He'll be back with us
0:25
Speaker 2: on Monday morning starting at six o'clock. So we welcome
0:28
Speaker 2: you into our eight o'clock hour, where every Friday we
0:31
Speaker 2: deliver the eight top stories of the day. We call
0:34
Speaker 2: it the OCHO. We used to do it every day,
0:36
Speaker 2: remember that.
0:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually I do. Until you just said that I've
0:40
Speaker 3: forgotten all about it. Yeah, we did.
0:41
Speaker 2: Every single day. Had to actually find eight pieces of audio, yeah,
0:46
Speaker 2: and do a segment eight to eight here and yeah.
0:49
Speaker 3: Same time.
0:49
Speaker 4: So efficient at finding it now. I remember when we
0:53
Speaker 4: were when we were had some practice, when Rich was like,
0:55
Speaker 4: I think we should do it less, Like, let's just
0:57
Speaker 4: do it once a week. I remember, I did not argue.
1:01
Speaker 2: Well, now we do it on Fridays, we recap the week.
1:04
Speaker 2: We get you ready for the weekend with your eight
1:06
Speaker 2: top stories of the day. This is water cooler fodder
1:09
Speaker 2: for you in case you missed out on some information
1:11
Speaker 2: and you don't want to be ill equipped. So let's
1:14
Speaker 2: get things started. Our top story today, we will begin
1:16
Speaker 2: with hockey. After a three week layoff to accommodate the
1:21
Speaker 2: Olympic break, the NHL resumed play on Wednesday, and that
1:26
Speaker 2: included the Seattle Kraken taking the ice on Wednesday. We
1:31
Speaker 2: spent days discussing how important it was for the krack
1:35
Speaker 2: and to pick up where they left off before the
1:38
Speaker 2: Olympic break, where they'd won six out of their last
1:40
Speaker 2: eight games. They seem to have discovered a number one
1:44
Speaker 2: line with Veneers and McCann and Everley clicking. They seem
1:48
Speaker 2: to have two goaltenders that were playing pretty well. They
1:51
Speaker 2: were a playoff team if the season were to have
1:55
Speaker 2: ended right there before the Olympic break. There in the
1:58
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs a streaky team. Could they afford to
2:03
Speaker 2: get out of the gates slow with this resumption of
2:07
Speaker 2: play that began on Wednesday. Will it's been a disaster
2:12
Speaker 2: since they resumed a four to one loss to the
2:14
Speaker 2: Dallas Stars on Wednesday, and then last night facing a
2:17
Speaker 2: last place Saint Louis Blues team. The Kraken got whooped again.
2:22
Speaker 5: Saint Louis back of the offensives.
2:25
Speaker 6: Don't look at May you on the back door centeric
2:27
Speaker 6: passer front punked in. Holloway scores, puck was loose in
2:34
Speaker 6: the blue paint.
2:35
Speaker 5: Saint Louis had three guys are on the top of
2:39
Speaker 5: the circle. The shot came from May who up the line.
2:42
Speaker 5: That was Dylan Holloway who gets the last touch. Blues
2:46
Speaker 5: goal back to back to take a three to one lead.
2:49
Speaker 2: Never it fits you on the call right here on
2:51
Speaker 2: your flagship for cracking hockey Sports Radio ninety three point
2:54
Speaker 2: three KJRFM. Dylan Holloway had three goals for the Blues.
2:57
Speaker 2: I think they called that a hat trick. They do
3:00
Speaker 2: all the hats and Saint Louis ends up winning by
3:02
Speaker 2: a final score of five to one. So Ashley in
3:04
Speaker 2: two games since returning with all the I mean we
3:07
Speaker 2: were kind of we were really open for pumps. Yeah,
3:11
Speaker 2: some cracking, hitting the ground, running, all that rest. And
3:15
Speaker 2: you didn't have that many players play in the Olympics,
3:17
Speaker 2: so we were fresh and not banged up, and we
3:20
Speaker 2: could play the cord when other people were gonna have
3:22
Speaker 2: to sit their goalies because they were still tired from
3:25
Speaker 2: the Olympic.
3:25
Speaker 3: Experience or injured.
3:27
Speaker 2: Uh, And instead they've been outscored nine to two.
3:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's been disappointing, especially you go into
3:33
Speaker 4: the Dallas game thinking, Okay, you know, this is a
3:36
Speaker 4: tough team, but they've got autre out so we're at
3:39
Speaker 4: an advantage there. And they've you know, they've got all
3:42
Speaker 4: these players coming off the Olympic break. We don't have
3:44
Speaker 4: as many, so we're going to be at more of
3:46
Speaker 4: an advantage. They had more injuries, and then you lose,
3:49
Speaker 4: and Ian tells us, Okay, that's all right, it's a
3:51
Speaker 4: bad matchup. All right, that's fine. So we'll go into
3:53
Speaker 4: Saint Louis now here we're going to see the crack
3:56
Speaker 4: in that we should be seen.
3:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just didn't show up.
4:00
Speaker 4: So if that whole argument of rest versus rust, I mean,
4:03
Speaker 4: we look rusty crack.
4:05
Speaker 2: And have lost all the momentum they carried into the break.
4:08
Speaker 2: They are zero to seven on the power play. That
4:10
Speaker 2: does not help. The Blues didn't even have a power
4:13
Speaker 2: play opportunity last night, and they still outshot US I
4:17
Speaker 2: think by nine shots. Thirty two to twenty three I
4:20
Speaker 2: think was the final. So I mean it's disastrous. I
4:23
Speaker 2: mean you couldn't. It's two games, and so two games
4:27
Speaker 2: are not the rest of the season going to make,
4:30
Speaker 2: but two games that couldn't have gone worse exactly when
4:33
Speaker 2: you're expecting, when you're getting hyped up and you're coming
4:36
Speaker 2: off the Olympic break and the US gold and you're
4:39
Speaker 2: excited to watch hockey again, and the last time you
4:42
Speaker 2: watched the crack and play, they were playing well, and
4:44
Speaker 2: you think that maybe the break would have been more
4:46
Speaker 2: beneficial to them than their opponents, and instead you just
4:50
Speaker 2: stink up the ice two nights in a row. And
4:53
Speaker 2: Ian Forness told us yesterday when we put them on
4:55
Speaker 2: the show yesterday, said there was nothing to worry about
4:58
Speaker 2: after the Dallas game, but if they lose again to
5:00
Speaker 2: the Blues, then maybe we got something to worry about. Well,
5:02
Speaker 2: guess what, Ashley, here, we wake up on a Friday
5:05
Speaker 2: morning and it feels like I feel like we got
5:07
Speaker 2: something to worry about.
5:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel very worrisome.
5:09
Speaker 4: And then you've got Vancouver coming in, who is not good,
5:12
Speaker 4: but neither was Saint Louis, and Vancouver is your rival,
5:16
Speaker 4: So they're gonna be amped up to play you, especially
5:18
Speaker 4: in your home.
5:20
Speaker 2: Home tomorrow night against the Canucks at seven o'clock. And
5:23
Speaker 2: maybe Eddie Olcik can make sense of it all. He's
5:25
Speaker 2: going to join us today at nine o'clock. Ed Zoe
5:28
Speaker 2: his friends call him. Yes, I'm not one of those yet.
5:31
Speaker 2: Maybe one day, yeah, but maybe one day. But we'll
5:34
Speaker 2: talk about his experience of calling the gold medal Olympic
5:38
Speaker 2: game and the Olympics in general, and then hopefully he's
5:42
Speaker 2: got some answers how to solve the kraken right now.
5:44
Speaker 2: He was angry last night. I mean he was just
5:47
Speaker 2: fully so he was angry shoot the puck, you know,
5:50
Speaker 2: last night during his commentary, and so I have a
5:53
Speaker 2: feeling he'll be quite colorful. Eddie does not strike me
5:57
Speaker 2: as somebody that holds.
5:57
Speaker 3: Back, doesn't mince words, all right.
6:00
Speaker 2: Item number two on our eight item Ocho Seahawks. So
6:04
Speaker 2: you know, it's difficult to repeat as champions. Your free
6:08
Speaker 2: agents suddenly become more valuable because they've got Super Bowl
6:11
Speaker 2: champion attached to their name. So you're gonna lose some
6:15
Speaker 2: of those guys. You do worry in the offseason about complacency.
6:20
Speaker 2: Will the team still have the same hunger now that
6:22
Speaker 2: they've won a Super Bowl? The guys you do choose
6:25
Speaker 2: to pay, well, they have the same hunger now that
6:27
Speaker 2: they're not chasing that big contract anymore. There's a lot
6:30
Speaker 2: to worry about after you've won a super Bowl. This
6:34
Speaker 2: one we didn't see coming. DeMarcus Lawrence, who traps the
6:38
Speaker 2: Seattle streets on parade day topless. I mean, when you
6:42
Speaker 2: do that, you're on top of the world, right you
6:44
Speaker 2: are when you're just half naked in public celebrating your achievements.
6:47
Speaker 2: Usually when I met my best I know, and so
6:50
Speaker 2: I didn't see this coming. But reports yesterday suggesting that
6:54
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, at age thirty three, twelve years into his
6:58
Speaker 2: National Football League career and only one year into a
7:01
Speaker 2: Seahawks career, is actually contemplating retirement and may not suit
7:06
Speaker 2: up for the Hawks or anyone else heading in to
7:08
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, was on
7:12
Speaker 2: with us at seven o'clock this morning, and I asked
7:14
Speaker 2: him what he's hearing about this?
7:16
Speaker 7: Well, we asked Mike McDonald that and he said that
7:19
Speaker 7: last he talked to Lawrence Lawrence wants to come back,
7:22
Speaker 7: and I mean it makes sense that a player of
7:25
Speaker 7: his stature, four time pro bowler, has played a dozen
7:29
Speaker 7: years in the league, going to be thirty four, goes
7:31
Speaker 7: out after winning a Super Bowl, the one thing he
7:33
Speaker 7: said he has always sought in the NFL. When he
7:36
Speaker 7: got to Seattle today he signed, he said, I'm here
7:39
Speaker 7: because I thought this is my chance to win a
7:41
Speaker 7: Super Bowl. And he turned out to be correct. There
7:43
Speaker 7: had a great season doing it. So it is a
7:45
Speaker 7: natural supposition that a player might want to go out
7:48
Speaker 7: on top, which is where I think this comes from.
7:51
Speaker 7: But as up two days ago, the coach says that
7:54
Speaker 7: the player told him he's coming back. Now, McDonald did
7:56
Speaker 7: say that can change, especially the further a player gets
7:59
Speaker 7: away from this brotherhood that they had for the last
8:02
Speaker 7: eight seven eighty nine months. As it now, McDonald says
8:06
Speaker 7: that Lawrence and everybody else's that makes it interview saying
8:10
Speaker 7: they're coming back, Well.
8:11
Speaker 2: We shall see. Boy. I mean, I sort of get
8:15
Speaker 2: it if that were the decision, and I'd applaud him
8:18
Speaker 2: for the decision.
8:19
Speaker 3: Not many athletes get to go out on top.
8:21
Speaker 2: And not many athletes can pull themselves away from the sport.
8:25
Speaker 2: They're too addicted to the lifestyle and the competition to
8:29
Speaker 2: pull themselves away. They say, in theory, it sounds nice.
8:33
Speaker 2: I'm going to play this long as long as I
8:35
Speaker 2: make this much money, and I went a Super Bowl,
8:38
Speaker 2: then I'm going to be done. Well, not a lot
8:40
Speaker 2: of them do it. I mean John Elway did it famously,
8:43
Speaker 2: but not a lot of guys actually pulled that off.
8:47
Speaker 2: There have been more that have decided before they made
8:50
Speaker 2: the millions, and like Patrick Willis, no, I just want
8:54
Speaker 2: to keep my health, so I'm done.
8:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
8:56
Speaker 2: No, I made a little bit of money more than
8:58
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to make, and I'm done.
9:00
Speaker 2: But you don't rarely see the guy, or excuse me,
9:02
Speaker 2: you rarely see the individual that actually does kind of
9:07
Speaker 2: script it out and then when the time comes, does
9:10
Speaker 2: walk away. But after eleven seasons with Dallas, DeMarcus Lawrence
9:15
Speaker 2: rolled the dice to try to win a Super Bowl
9:16
Speaker 2: with a team that Vegas said was only gonna win
9:18
Speaker 2: like eight games. Yeah, and it worked out. It worked
9:21
Speaker 2: out beautifully. He won the Super Bowl. His play was outstanding.
9:25
Speaker 2: He was a heavy contributor to the championship. But now
9:30
Speaker 2: it sounds like he's at least considering contemplating doing the
9:33
Speaker 2: old right off into the sunset as a champion while
9:37
Speaker 2: my health is still intact.
9:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would commit him for doing it as well,
9:40
Speaker 4: because I do talk about that. You don't you know,
9:42
Speaker 4: you don't see many people that do go out on top.
9:44
Speaker 4: The only thing that I would think is the draw
9:47
Speaker 4: of the challenge trying to go back to back and
9:50
Speaker 4: would he you know, be pulled into that. But at
9:54
Speaker 4: the same time, then if you don't win the Super
9:56
Speaker 4: Bowl again, now you're not going out on top.
9:58
Speaker 3: Now are you going to try to come back again to.
9:59
Speaker 8: Do it right?
10:00
Speaker 3: And then you're in a visious cycles, right.
10:02
Speaker 2: And that's usually what happens now because they do find
10:04
Speaker 2: that motivation of oh Man back to back would be great.
10:09
Speaker 2: So if he does it, I guess I got to
10:10
Speaker 2: tip my cap to him. But it certainly comes as
10:12
Speaker 2: a surprise. And now all of a sudden, Hawks are
10:15
Speaker 2: staring dead at having two edge rushers in a very
10:18
Speaker 2: short period of time, possibly leaving the organization Lawrence via retirement,
10:22
Speaker 2: MAFE via free agency, which will start the tampering period
10:26
Speaker 2: starts on March tenths or not too far away. From
10:28
Speaker 2: that and suddenly you're looking at I mean, that's a
10:31
Speaker 2: position where every organization looks for a pass rusher in
10:36
Speaker 2: the draft every offseason anyway, And if you're going to
10:39
Speaker 2: be down to from jump heading into the offseason, I
10:44
Speaker 2: think I would want to know sooner than later if
10:46
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence is serious about absolutely, Yes, the NFL Combine
10:51
Speaker 2: is where you restock your stores. And that's exactly what's
10:56
Speaker 2: going on this weekend and Indy just a bunch of
10:58
Speaker 2: prospects running around and pajamas the cutest getting timed, lifting weights,
11:04
Speaker 2: jumping high all that sort of thing. It got started
11:08
Speaker 2: last night the first set of workouts that featured the
11:11
Speaker 2: defensive lineman and the linebackers, so the front seven guys,
11:15
Speaker 2: and this is supposed to be the best group. It's
11:17
Speaker 2: either this group or the offensive line group that will
11:20
Speaker 2: participate in workouts on Sunday. They did not disappoint last night. Apparently,
11:26
Speaker 2: collectively the best forty times in the history of the
11:31
Speaker 2: combine for the defensive tackles, the defensive ends, and the
11:36
Speaker 2: lineback all three of them, wow, had the best combined
11:39
Speaker 2: forty times. So I don't know if that suggests that
11:43
Speaker 2: the evolution of athletes. They just get faster every single year,
11:47
Speaker 2: literally every single year. Or if it does suggest that
11:52
Speaker 2: this is that good of a group, like if there's
11:55
Speaker 2: a year to find a front seven guy, this might
11:58
Speaker 2: be the year. Because the superlatives were flying all over
12:02
Speaker 2: the place on the NFL Network draft cover or combine.
12:05
Speaker 3: Coverage like m feathers from a down pillow.
12:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. Texas Tech defensive end David Bailey, who nearly I
12:12
Speaker 2: wouldn't say beat Oregon, but he kept them in the
12:14
Speaker 2: game against Oregon in the playoffs. If you remember him,
12:18
Speaker 2: he might end up being the second pick in the
12:20
Speaker 2: draft at six four, two fifty one. He ran a
12:23
Speaker 2: four five one forty last night and then got upstaged
12:26
Speaker 2: by the Ohio State linebackers Arvel Reese and Sunny Styles,
12:30
Speaker 2: who each ran a four four seven forty. Styles also
12:35
Speaker 2: posted a record setting vertical leap for a man his
12:38
Speaker 2: size at forty three and a half inches. My goodness,
12:41
Speaker 2: six five two forty four running a four four seven
12:44
Speaker 2: with a forty three and a.
12:46
Speaker 3: Half inch vert that's incredible.
12:49
Speaker 2: Bailey recent Styles could go two, three and four in
12:52
Speaker 2: the draft. As a matter of fact, that was a
12:53
Speaker 2: conversation last night. I thought it was a point in question.
12:56
Speaker 2: Rich Eisen asked his experts the jetsumber two on the clock.
13:01
Speaker 2: Is their pick working out tonight? In other words, is
13:05
Speaker 2: it Bailey, Reese or Styles that is that we're watching?
13:09
Speaker 2: Is one of them going to be the Jet? Daniel
13:11
Speaker 2: Jeremiah's answer was yes, I do believe that the number
13:15
Speaker 2: two pick in the draft is going to be one
13:17
Speaker 2: of these three dudes. And they put on a show,
13:19
Speaker 2: all three of them, and especially Styles.
13:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:22
Speaker 4: Well, and sunny Win's the name part of the best
13:26
Speaker 4: named portion of the combine.
13:27
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah. And then afterwards he and teen Wolf went
13:30
Speaker 2: driving around town and he did backflips off.
13:33
Speaker 3: The I'm not surprised by the top of the van.
13:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was. Styles was his name?
13:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I remember I saw I saw Teenwolf a lot.
13:40
Speaker 2: I didn't know if you'd seen that one. Yeah. Tonight,
13:42
Speaker 2: the defensive backs and the tight ends are going to
13:45
Speaker 2: be grouped together, and so we're going to see another
13:47
Speaker 2: Ohio State freak show in Caleb Downs participate amongst the others.
13:53
Speaker 2: So NFL Combine Day number two Saturday will be quarterbacks,
13:57
Speaker 2: running backs, and receivers. And as I mentioned on Sunday,
14:00
Speaker 2: it will be the offensive lineman Mariner. Spring training continues
14:03
Speaker 2: in this weekend. There will be a featured attraction, the
14:07
Speaker 2: number two overall pick from last year's draft, a gift
14:10
Speaker 2: to Seattle really from those cheeky baseball gods. He's going
14:14
Speaker 2: to take the mound for the first time in a
14:16
Speaker 2: game as a Mariner in the Cactus League. Kate Anderson
14:20
Speaker 2: is going to get the ball, so certainly a featured
14:23
Speaker 2: attraction at this early stage in spring training. Kate Anderson,
14:28
Speaker 2: of course, was the buzz of spring training while we
14:31
Speaker 2: were down there, along with fellow prospect pitching prospect Ryan Sloan.
14:36
Speaker 2: We sat down chatted with both of them at one
14:38
Speaker 2: point last week and Kate Anderson talked about what he
14:42
Speaker 2: might be able to absorb from the five starting pitchers
14:46
Speaker 2: who are going to of course fill out the rotation
14:50
Speaker 2: and at some point he's going to have to replace
14:52
Speaker 2: one of them.
14:53
Speaker 8: I think each pitcher is unique. But when you look
14:56
Speaker 8: at the starting rotation, they're just they go around, they
14:59
Speaker 8: go about their isn't just so professionally and you really
15:03
Speaker 8: admire that. And when you just take things one step
15:06
Speaker 8: at a time, just just really being able to watch
15:08
Speaker 8: them and understanding of what they do is special. Just
15:12
Speaker 8: you kind of can just kind of take that for
15:13
Speaker 8: a grain of solid and just continue to work time.
15:17
Speaker 2: What's the mission this year?
15:18
Speaker 8: Cade?
15:18
Speaker 2: What is what is the goal for you?
15:20
Speaker 9: Yeah?
15:21
Speaker 8: I think what the marriage are known for dominating the
15:24
Speaker 8: strike zone?
15:25
Speaker 7: Okay, I think when you when you have that.
15:26
Speaker 8: Mindset, it makes things a lot easier on yourself.
15:29
Speaker 2: But what a way, what a cushy way to start
15:31
Speaker 2: his professional career when he knows I'm pretty close to
15:35
Speaker 2: being major league ready and because of the lottery drawing,
15:39
Speaker 2: I get to go to an already good team, if
15:41
Speaker 2: not a great team, they might be a great team
15:43
Speaker 2: this year. I think they will be a great team
15:46
Speaker 2: this year. And so you get to sort of take
15:51
Speaker 2: your time, You're not rushed into any action. And then
15:54
Speaker 2: in the meantime, you get to sort of learn from
15:57
Speaker 2: guys who are of similar age, let's face it, and
16:00
Speaker 2: yet have a wealth of experience at the major league
16:03
Speaker 2: level compared to you, have had success early in their
16:06
Speaker 2: career and have all sorts of little nuggets of wisdom
16:10
Speaker 2: to pass on to you. And in the past, maybe
16:14
Speaker 2: those guys that represent that group would hold it against
16:19
Speaker 2: you because you're trying to take their job. But this group,
16:22
Speaker 2: they're so kind. Yeah, they're so nice. The chemistry between them,
16:26
Speaker 2: I mean, you just want to be a part of it,
16:29
Speaker 2: and they want to put their arms around new teammates
16:32
Speaker 2: and new prospects. It's really a great situation that the
16:36
Speaker 2: Mariners are in and Kate Anderson is in.
16:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is, absolutely and he can also learn a lot,
16:40
Speaker 4: I think from Emerson Hancock and what he's dealt with
16:42
Speaker 4: over the last couple of years trying to break into
16:45
Speaker 4: that rotation.
16:45
Speaker 2: And kept his great attitude.
16:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly the whole time.
16:49
Speaker 2: And he's a sweetheart.
16:50
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I love him.
16:52
Speaker 2: Mariners were eight seven winners over Cleveland on Thursday, cold
16:55
Speaker 2: Emerson had a pair of hits. They'll play again today.
16:58
Speaker 2: The WBC is asked approaching fourteen Mariners are going to
17:02
Speaker 2: participate in this Spring's World Baseball Classic. That's going to
17:05
Speaker 2: break up spring training for the MS. I mean, they'll
17:08
Speaker 2: continue with spring training, but they'll do it without a
17:11
Speaker 2: significant part of their roster. The first games are going
17:15
Speaker 2: to be held March fourth. Participants will be leaving their
17:19
Speaker 2: major league camps to join their national teams as early
17:21
Speaker 2: as this Sunday. Cal Rawley will represent America Andres Munos's
17:26
Speaker 2: closer will represent Mexico. We asked Andre's about facing Cal
17:32
Speaker 2: potentially in the WBC and what that's going to be like.
17:38
Speaker 10: No, no, oh, yes, we're in the same pupa. I
17:41
Speaker 10: don't talk to him, you know about Aisy I would
17:45
Speaker 10: like to avoid facing Yeah. Actually any of my plupins,
17:50
Speaker 10: he hasn't touching any of them. Hopefully he forget about
17:54
Speaker 10: my stuff and he is bran new to him when
17:57
Speaker 10: I win keys on the bucks, that's good.
18:00
Speaker 9: Uh.
18:00
Speaker 10: I don't think he's going to catch any of my canes.
18:03
Speaker 2: Too, So I also don't think he's going to forget
18:05
Speaker 2: about yourself. Yeah, so sorry to disappoint you. Ah, he's
18:11
Speaker 2: just a mess.
18:12
Speaker 3: I hope that he forget about my stuff.
18:14
Speaker 2: He forgets about my stuff.
18:15
Speaker 4: Well, he's probably not, but I love that you're hoping.
18:20
Speaker 8: Uh.
18:20
Speaker 2: And then I love the when he's on the box. Yeah, yeah,
18:26
Speaker 2: not in the box, on the box, I love it. Oh, man,
18:30
Speaker 2: he is awesome. I'm gonna get a poster of Munos
18:32
Speaker 2: put it on my wall.
18:33
Speaker 3: I want a poster of him and Matilda.
18:36
Speaker 2: Uh so yes, uh WBC starting March fourth. But they'll
18:41
Speaker 2: be leaving camp all those guys coming up here on
18:44
Speaker 2: Sunday and then, believe me, the Mariners Brass is not
18:46
Speaker 2: looking forward to that. It's just one of those things.
18:49
Speaker 2: They just hold their breath and hope and cry a
18:51
Speaker 2: little bit. Sounders. They look to start two and oh,
18:54
Speaker 2: there'll be an action tomorrow night and they will take
18:58
Speaker 2: on another team that's trying to go to and for
19:01
Speaker 2: the Flying Elms to shoot tall chapter. Yeah, well, Real
19:06
Speaker 2: salt Lake doesn't actually have a nickname, but I do
19:08
Speaker 2: love the Flying Elvis's for them.
19:10
Speaker 3: It would be great.
19:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, that should be your nickname. Even the Real isn't real.
19:16
Speaker 2: The franchise is paying tribute to Real Madrid of Spain,
19:20
Speaker 2: even though there is zero connection between the franchises.
19:23
Speaker 4: I think I've heard a lot of people say Salt
19:26
Speaker 4: Lake is the Madrid of the United States.
19:30
Speaker 2: A lot of people said that both teams are one
19:33
Speaker 2: to know. To start a brand new season, Jackson Felt's
19:36
Speaker 2: gonna join us today at nine to thirty. With all
19:38

Speaker 2: He might love it. He should love it. It's a
20:06
Speaker 2: great song.
20:06
Speaker 3: And it's honoring his heritage.
20:08
Speaker 2: Right.

21:03
Speaker 2: not forget to honor Debtlift Shrimp college basketball game tomorrow,
21:08
Speaker 2: You Dubb taking on Wisconsin and to join us to
21:11
Speaker 2: talk some you Dub hoops and also his thoughts on
21:15
Speaker 2: you on debtl Off Shrimp's big day is another former
21:18
Speaker 2: Husky great our friend, Spencer Hawes, joins us here on
21:22
Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck. How are you, sir?
21:25
Speaker 9: I'm doing well? How are you?
21:26
Speaker 2: We got the right guy?
21:27
Speaker 9: Right?
21:28
Speaker 2: I mean there's not some like anger between you and Debtlift.
21:32
Speaker 2: I mean you are going to say good things about
21:34
Speaker 2: him on the show today, aren't you.
21:37
Speaker 9: It will be overwhelmingly positive.
21:40
Speaker 2: Good who you never quite know?
21:43
Speaker 9: Right?
21:44
Speaker 7: No?
21:45
Speaker 2: I think we did know. So In terms of this
21:48
Speaker 2: honor Debtlift TRMP, what do you think of him receiving
21:52
Speaker 2: this from your university?
21:55
Speaker 9: I think very well deserved and probably even more so
21:59
Speaker 9: over do I think you know his I think he
22:04
Speaker 9: had so much success at the professional level, specifically with
22:08
Speaker 9: the Sonics. I think a lot of people and a
22:10
Speaker 9: lot of basketball fans kind of forget what he meant
22:13
Speaker 9: for you. Dub and the success that he had there,
22:17
Speaker 9: uh you know, in the early eighties, and so I
22:19
Speaker 9: think it's a great opportunity finally to celebrate what he's
22:23
Speaker 9: meant for the program and and kind of the pillar
22:27
Speaker 9: that he was as a Husky before he had such
22:30
Speaker 9: an incredible professional career.
22:32
Speaker 2: So what was your first exposure to him? What was
22:35
Speaker 2: your age? What what did dad and uncle think about
22:38
Speaker 2: debtl of Shrimp's game.
22:41
Speaker 9: I mean, my I remember dad as a as an
22:44
Speaker 9: iheard little kid Sonics fan and uh, you know going
22:48
Speaker 9: down the hill, the keering and kind of seeing the
22:52
Speaker 9: you know, the the original Big Three, I guess, or
22:55
Speaker 9: at least for my generation, the Big three of the Sonics,
22:57
Speaker 9: of which uh I always think back to that All
23:01
Speaker 9: Star picture. I can't remember which year it was, but
23:05
Speaker 9: where it's a Debt GP and the rain Man I
23:08
Speaker 9: think they were. It was back when they used to
23:10
Speaker 9: do the cool jerseys and Phoenix and they all, you know,
23:13
Speaker 9: they took the All Star Picture together, and so that's
23:17
Speaker 9: kind of Obviously I wasn't around for his Husky era,
23:20
Speaker 9: but those are you know, my first memories is as
23:23
Speaker 9: a little kid watching him as a star for the Sonics.
23:26
Speaker 2: When you were with the program, though, was he around
23:28
Speaker 2: because he just seems so involved in the program right now,
23:32
Speaker 2: such an ambassador for you, dub hoops. So did you
23:35
Speaker 2: have exposure to him while you were being recruited, while
23:38
Speaker 2: you were being playing at all?
23:40
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he wasn't you know. It wasn't like, hey,
23:43
Speaker 9: you know, go meet with Debt Lift and he's going
23:45
Speaker 9: to tell you to come to you. That's just not
23:47
Speaker 9: really how that Debt operates. But I mean, he's he's
23:50
Speaker 9: always been such a pillar in the community. I think,
23:52
Speaker 9: more so than than anything since he's been done playing,
23:56
Speaker 9: and all the work that he's done with so many
23:59
Speaker 9: fern shares he's in the area, and his golf tournament
24:03
Speaker 9: I think they ran for twenty five years, and all
24:05
Speaker 9: the money they raised and the good things they were
24:07
Speaker 9: able to do from that. So I think you're never
24:11
Speaker 9: if you're running around Seattle, you're never far from bumping
24:13
Speaker 9: into Debt that's for sure.
24:15
Speaker 2: He just seems cool. He just really seems like he
24:17
Speaker 2: figured out life along the way. I see photos of
24:20
Speaker 2: him at his house or wherever, and I'm like, I
24:22
Speaker 2: want to be Debtla Shrimp. Can I be Detla shrimp.
24:25
Speaker 9: Fire mustogi at eight am, getting ready to play a
24:29
Speaker 9: little golf. It looks like a pretty good program.
24:31
Speaker 2: Are you going to be there? By chance? Tomorrow?
24:34
Speaker 9: I will be there. I will be there early with
24:37
Speaker 9: my dad and my uncle and happy for him and
24:40
Speaker 9: his family and like I said, overdue but more than
24:43
Speaker 9: well deserved.
24:44
Speaker 2: Spencer Hawes with us right here on the Chuck and
24:47
Speaker 2: Buck in the morning talking about Debtla Shrimp but not
24:50
Speaker 2: just about Debtla shremp in his big day tomorrow. I mean,
24:54
Speaker 2: how frustrated are you with the program right now? To
24:57
Speaker 2: be sitting here at five hundred and this was supposed
24:59
Speaker 2: to to be uh, go ahead, go ahead.
25:03
Speaker 9: Very frustrated.
25:03
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not gonna let you finish.
25:08
Speaker 9: I mean, it's it's tough trying to balance, you know,
25:12
Speaker 9: the the almost unprecedented run of injuries that they have,
25:16
Speaker 9: especially early in the season. But you know it's I know,
25:20
Speaker 9: Danny's not going to make an excuse for for that.
25:22
Speaker 9: Every team goes through that, and you know, I I
25:26
Speaker 9: really thought with the talent that they acquired this year
25:30
Speaker 9: and the roster they put together, I think the expectations
25:32
Speaker 9: were much higher than then where they're at but you know,
25:36
Speaker 9: they got a few games here at the end to
25:38
Speaker 9: put together a little streak. And again I learned the
25:42
Speaker 9: other day that everyone gets in the Day ten tournament,
25:44
Speaker 9: so we don't have to worry about that. So I
25:46
Speaker 9: think this year it's trying to punt when you got
25:49
Speaker 9: to play that first game as far as possible, and
25:51
Speaker 9: then you know, try and go on a little run
25:54
Speaker 9: and see what happens.
25:55
Speaker 2: Well, what what is what's missing? I mean two years
25:58
Speaker 2: ago when he takes over, they spent the big money
26:00
Speaker 2: on OSA War and then that didn't really have the
26:03
Speaker 2: impact it was supposed to. And then he really dug
26:06
Speaker 2: in and he seemed like he had created a roster
26:09
Speaker 2: that should compete at least for an NCAA tournament appearance,
26:13
Speaker 2: and yet it's falling far short of that barring some
26:17
Speaker 2: miracle run in the Big ten tournament. So what is missing?
26:20
Speaker 2: What's missing in the chemistry since coach Sprinkle took over?
26:25
Speaker 9: Shooting? Shooting and shooting? I think in the modern game
26:32
Speaker 9: of basketball, which you know kind of started at the
26:36
Speaker 9: international level or the NBA, there's you know, there was
26:40
Speaker 9: such a premium put on shooting, and like many things
26:43
Speaker 9: that trickles down to the college game as it continues
26:46
Speaker 9: to evolve, and it's just it's something that's been missing.
26:52
Speaker 9: You know, It's not just an issue Danny's dealing with.
26:54
Speaker 9: It's it goes back before him, and when you can't shoot,
27:00
Speaker 9: makes it a lot more difficult on the offensive end
27:04
Speaker 9: to be efficient and to really establish an identity on
27:09
Speaker 9: on that end of the floor.
27:10
Speaker 2: And it's disappointing because Steinbachers just seems to be a
27:13
Speaker 2: wasted year. I think he's he's certainly better than I
27:16
Speaker 2: was expecting. Has he been better than you were expecting?
27:21
Speaker 9: I think he's been better than he expected if if
27:23
Speaker 9: you read what he said before the season, he's been phenomenal.
27:27
Speaker 9: I think that's part of the most frustrating part about
27:29
Speaker 9: how the student's gone is another uh, you know, lottery potential,
27:35
Speaker 9: top ten talent that comes through and just doesn't you know,
27:41
Speaker 9: whatever the collection around him is not able to produce
27:44
Speaker 9: the results.
27:45
Speaker 2: Do they have the right guy? I know that's a
27:48
Speaker 2: tough question to ask you, but do you feel like,
27:50
Speaker 2: with more time that Danny's going to fix this thing?
27:54
Speaker 9: I do, And I think you know it's he was
27:58
Speaker 9: not He did not come in under you know, anywhere
28:02
Speaker 9: near positive circumstances when he took over, and I think
28:06
Speaker 9: it's it can happen quickly, obviously in this new era
28:10
Speaker 9: of transfers and nil and everything else. But I don't
28:14
Speaker 9: think that's the at the end of the day, I
28:16
Speaker 9: don't think that's a sustainable way to build a program
28:19
Speaker 9: and to UH and to take the steps to have
28:24
Speaker 9: continued success because you're just so religning on mercenaries year
28:27
Speaker 9: and then year out. And I think it does take
28:30
Speaker 9: some time, It takes some patience. Is as frustrating as
28:33
Speaker 9: it is UH, you know, from a fan perspective, but
28:37
Speaker 9: I think I think we do have the right guy.
28:38
Speaker 9: I think the results will come, and I think it's
28:43
Speaker 9: going to take some continuity with younger guys developing and
28:46
Speaker 9: building a culture and hopefully UH starting to show an identity.
28:51
Speaker 9: I think that's the frustrating thing is what are we
28:54
Speaker 9: what do we want to be on defense? What type
28:57
Speaker 9: of offense are you going to run that's lead us
29:00
Speaker 9: to success.
29:01
Speaker 2: Spencer Ows is with us Seattle Hoops Legend, joining us
29:04
Speaker 2: here on Chuck and Buck this morning, talking a little
29:07
Speaker 2: you dub basketball as the college basketball regular season is
29:10
Speaker 2: coming to an end. But now that I have you,
29:12
Speaker 2: I do want to get your thoughts on something that
29:14
Speaker 2: I've been bringing up a lot, maybe more than Ashley
29:17
Speaker 2: and Bucky have wanted me to bring it up. But
29:19
Speaker 2: this tanking issue in the National Basketball Association. What's your
29:24
Speaker 2: read on it and what's your fix. I'm sure you
29:26
Speaker 2: got an idea floating around in your head.
29:30
Speaker 9: Well, it's nothing. I think the first thing to mention
29:34
Speaker 9: is it's nothing new. Teams have been doing this for
29:36
Speaker 9: a long time. I think it's just in this hypercharged
29:39
Speaker 9: kind of world of you know, more exposure and social media.
29:44
Speaker 9: I don't want to blame it on that, but you
29:47
Speaker 9: have people going way deeper into into some of the
29:51
Speaker 9: you know, different methods of tanking. But that's not to
29:54
Speaker 9: say it isn't an issue. It's a problem. It always
29:57
Speaker 9: seems to creep up around All Star break because is
30:00
Speaker 9: you're kind of at that Fisher cut bait point of
30:02
Speaker 9: the season. But I think the thing they need to
30:06
Speaker 9: folks that are from a weak perspective is they need
30:09
Speaker 9: to try and rebrand it as you know, developing of
30:12
Speaker 9: the young players or something along those lines, because that's
30:15
Speaker 9: really along with trying to secure that draft pick. That's
30:19
Speaker 9: the primary focus. When you look at the calendar and
30:23
Speaker 9: you start doing the math and you say, all right,
30:24
Speaker 9: we're outside of the plan. There's not really a route
30:27
Speaker 9: for us. We're going to try and get our draft
30:29
Speaker 9: picks and our younger players some confidence and some experience
30:32
Speaker 9: going forward. But I don't know if you've got to
30:35
Speaker 9: reshuffle the lottery. I mean, I don't begin to plan
30:38
Speaker 9: to have to say I have an answer for it,
30:41
Speaker 9: but it's definitely an issue. I know it turns off
30:43
Speaker 9: a lot of people. It turns off a lot of
30:44
Speaker 9: fan bases, and I'm glad that there's more of a
30:47
Speaker 9: conversation about it now because that will hopefully lead to
30:52
Speaker 9: a solution to try and prevent it from happening, you know,
30:55
Speaker 9: earlier and earlier in the season, as opposed to when
30:58
Speaker 9: you kind of get to the end and there's know,
31:01
Speaker 9: you know, there's no playoff opportunity inside.
31:03
Speaker 2: Well, there's just more of an incentive for losing right
31:07
Speaker 2: now than being mediocre, And so I wonder if there
31:12
Speaker 2: could be a change made. They're actually discussing that they'll
31:16
Speaker 2: start keeping a different set of standings that you'll get
31:19
Speaker 2: to a certain point of the year, and then the
31:22
Speaker 2: lottery standings will be wins that you get in the
31:25
Speaker 2: last month or two of the regular season. Seems highly confusing,
31:29
Speaker 2: but I'm open to any ideas, Spencer that lead us
31:33
Speaker 2: from decentivizing losing on purpose.
31:37
Speaker 9: Well, and I think it's I don't mind. I wouldn't
31:41
Speaker 9: mind seeing that play out. Yet. I think I think
31:44
Speaker 9: this year it's it's kind of hypercharged because I mean,
31:48
Speaker 9: you look at the class coming out and the draft
31:51
Speaker 9: coming out. After a year or two of good drafts
31:55
Speaker 9: that have been a little more top heavy, I think
31:57
Speaker 9: this one's a unique combination of you know, give three
32:01
Speaker 9: or four guys arguably competing to be the number one pick,
32:04
Speaker 9: but then you you drop behind that, and there's still
32:07
Speaker 9: so much talent in the pipeline as you go further
32:11
Speaker 9: back in the first round. And I think that I
32:15
Speaker 9: think that fact in teams looking at you know, even
32:19
Speaker 9: if we don't get the number one pick, there's still
32:21
Speaker 9: a handful of guys that could be franchised altering talents.
32:25
Speaker 9: You know, I saw something the other day that they
32:27
Speaker 9: valued the number one pick this year at one hundred
32:29
Speaker 9: million dollars. If you know, if you could go trade
32:32
Speaker 9: on it. So it's as long as you have that,
32:38
Speaker 9: you know, kind of fruit dangling for the for the
32:41
Speaker 9: teams at the bottom, you know they're going to prioritize
32:45
Speaker 9: that over you know, the near term success.
32:48
Speaker 2: How did you and the wife celebrate the Super Bowl?
32:50
Speaker 9: By the way, we were there and it was glorious.
32:59
Speaker 2: You soaked it all up.
33:02
Speaker 9: And then I had the opportunity I stayed down in
33:04
Speaker 9: San Francisco for a few days to catch a Spurs
33:07
Speaker 9: Warriors game right before All Star breaks. So I just
33:11
Speaker 9: I had a lot of fun walking around San Francisco
33:14
Speaker 9: and seahawk gear twenty four seven.
33:16
Speaker 2: By the way, you need to help us get your
33:17
Speaker 2: guy on. We've tried to reach out to the San
33:19
Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs to get your guy on, and you know
33:23
Speaker 2: you told us you got He said we needed to
33:25
Speaker 2: showcase him, Mitch, and yet we're still waiting for a callback.
33:29
Speaker 2: I think maybe you've got to plant that seed and
33:31
Speaker 2: we put him on the air. We'll celebrate his ass.
33:34
Speaker 9: He's a hard guy to get ahold of. May maybe
33:36
Speaker 9: I'll tell him I'm going to interview him.
33:39
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine, Yeah, come on down, we'll do that,
33:42
Speaker 2: all right, man. Well, thank you. We appreciate your time
33:45
Speaker 2: this morning. Enjoy Saturday, and we'll talk to you down
33:48
Speaker 2: the road. All right.
33:50
Speaker 9: Thanks for having me as always.
33:51
Speaker 2: Area, Spencer hallis the legendary Spencer hallis the Spence Needle himself,
33:56
Speaker 2: joining us right here on Chuck and Buck. Coming up
33:59
Speaker 2: next a party preview Sports Radio ninety three point three
34:03
Speaker 2: KJRFM Friday, and that's the last time we'll be playing
34:06
Speaker 2: the song. You know, This Pajama Party will be ending
34:10
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Maybe we recap the Pajama Party on Monday.
34:14
Speaker 3: We shall see and if there's a demand for the
34:16
Speaker 3: song again.
34:17
Speaker 2: The NFL Combine is this week, and I really do
34:20
Speaker 2: believe as much as I like to use it as
34:23
Speaker 2: a tool for my father draft miss Draft miss preparation,
34:28
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to last much longer. I
34:30
Speaker 2: don't get the impression that it's going to be around.
34:32
Speaker 2: I think that I think organizations really don't use it
34:36
Speaker 2: as a tool much anymore. And if you just need
34:39
Speaker 2: a place to congregate then to talk, yeah, to talk
34:44
Speaker 2: to agents, then maybe there's a way there's a function
34:48
Speaker 2: that you we can set up like a Winter meetings
34:51
Speaker 2: for baseball. Maybe that can happen for spring meetings for
34:55
Speaker 2: the NFL. There's a better way to congregate than to
34:59
Speaker 2: stretch it out over four days. I'll say this though,
35:02
Speaker 2: NFL Network man, they put some gusto behind it. They
35:05
Speaker 2: really go all out with covering it. I mean, that's
35:07
Speaker 2: got to be that was like six seven hours last night.
35:11
Speaker 3: I think it would be hard to cover it that
35:13
Speaker 3: long and have stuff to say.
35:15
Speaker 2: And they've got their number one well, I mean they're
35:17
Speaker 2: always up there. I mean there's always somebody working out,
35:19
Speaker 2: so there's somebody else to evaluate. But you've got your
35:22
Speaker 2: number one anchor at the network hosting all four days.
35:26
Speaker 2: Rich Eisen is hosting all four days. You've got the
35:29
Speaker 2: same draft expert in Jeremiah hosting all four days. And
35:34
Speaker 2: like I said, it was like seven hours of just
35:38
Speaker 2: forty times and talking about draft prospects. And I think
35:40
Speaker 2: they do a really good job. I like it. I
35:42
Speaker 2: think it's a useful tool. But the way that general
35:46
Speaker 2: managers are now discussing the event, it does kind of
35:49
Speaker 2: feel to me like it's running out of time that
35:52
Speaker 2: they're gonna perhaps entertain other ways. They were trying to
35:55
Speaker 2: turn it into a major television event, But I don't.
35:58
Speaker 3: Think that that's kevially took off, right.
36:00
Speaker 2: And how could it? I mean, we're just talking forty
36:02
Speaker 2: times and you know, Pajama Party, I mean, how is
36:07
Speaker 2: it supposed to take off? But through no small effort
36:12
Speaker 2: by the NFL network, I think they do a heck
36:15
Speaker 2: of a job taking forty times and bench presses and
36:18
Speaker 2: turning it into a viable football information gathering television program.
36:24
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and for them, they're going to have something,
36:26
Speaker 4: you know, some people talking about it anyway, so they
36:28
Speaker 4: might as well have people live there doing it. It
36:31
Speaker 4: would be interesting to see if they could do like
36:33
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, just kind of a best of
36:36
Speaker 4: take the best moments, put them all together, and people
36:38
Speaker 4: would probably tune in more for that where you're you know,
36:41
Speaker 4: you're just going to see some of the most the
36:43
Speaker 4: things that everybody was talking about from there.
36:45
Speaker 2: Well, doesn't help when NFL executives pretty much admit, like
36:49
Speaker 2: John Schneider, we really don't pay attention to it. Yeah,
36:51
Speaker 2: you know, the interviews. We like the interview portion of
36:54
Speaker 2: it and then about it. Yeah yeah, and now that
36:58
Speaker 2: and the medicals. That's what John said, the medicals and
37:01
Speaker 2: the interviews, because you don't want to end up a
37:03
Speaker 2: guy drafting a guy who's blind in one eye. That's
37:05
Speaker 2: pretty much what he said earlier this week. So yeah,
37:09
Speaker 2: I do think it's times probably running out. That's a
37:12
Speaker 2: little sad for me as a father draft miss but
37:14
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll replace it with something else because the
37:17
Speaker 2: NFL is probably better at that than any company in
37:20
Speaker 2: the world and using their off season for payoffs for
37:25
Speaker 2: fans to look forward to events the draft first and foremost.
37:30
Speaker 2: If you are a draft knick, you know, all of
37:33
Speaker 2: a sudden, this DeMarcus Lawrence story, you know you're gonna
37:36
Speaker 2: lose Boye Mafe. It sounds like a free agency if
37:39
Speaker 2: Lawrence really is thinking about retiring, maybe it is a
37:43
Speaker 2: good year for edge rushers to be the thing to
37:47
Speaker 2: get in an NFL draft. They were on display last
37:51
Speaker 2: night with the linebackers and the defensive tackles. I pointed
37:53
Speaker 2: out the statistic yesterday that according to PFF, that twenty
37:59
Speaker 2: four of the sixty four top prospects we're working out
38:03
Speaker 2: last night. You know, so think about that percentage between
38:08
Speaker 2: linebackers and defensive linemen. It's a really strong group. And
38:11
Speaker 2: they did put on a show last night, So maybe
38:15
Speaker 2: Seahawks should have stuck around at least through last night. Yeah,
38:18
Speaker 2: maybe if suddenly they have a couple of holes at
38:22
Speaker 2: their edge rusher position. Because there was a lot of
38:25
Speaker 2: talent on display and the superlatives are flying everywhere, especially
38:29
Speaker 2: for the linebacker group. They were certainly enthusiastic about it.
38:35
Speaker 2: So cornerbacks and tight ends tonight, quarterbacks, receivers and running
38:39
Speaker 2: backs tomorrow. Offensive line on Sunday said this was going
38:42
Speaker 2: to be a bit of a pajama party preview. The
38:45
Speaker 2: only thing we haven't previewed is the offensive line group.
38:48
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go way down to the third and
38:49
Speaker 2: fourth round and try to pick a guard to tell
38:51
Speaker 2: you to watch for Sunday. I don't think they're gonna
38:54
Speaker 2: take one in the first round. I think they actually
38:56
Speaker 2: like the way Anthony Bradford finished the season, and I
38:59
Speaker 2: highly doubt John Schnighter is going to go back to
39:01
Speaker 2: back years taking an interior offensive lineman of the first
39:04
Speaker 2: round pick. So I wouldn't really put that high on
39:07
Speaker 2: the depth chart in terms of what the Seahawks needs
39:12
Speaker 2: are going to be in the draft. All right, coming
39:14
Speaker 2: up next, What a week it's been for ed Olcick
39:17
Speaker 2: we'll check in with him, find out what it was
39:19
Speaker 2: like to call the gold medal winning game on Sunday
39:23
Speaker 2: at the Olympics, and then how disappointing it was to
39:26
Speaker 2: call the last two nights of KRACK and Hockey Sports
