  Speaker 2: That's credit c R E D I.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get it going.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: It seems like it was longer than this past Sunday.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: But the week started with us celebrating the fact that
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: our local football team, the Seattle Seahawks, are Super Bowl champions.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: The Patriots have a first down and the clock is
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: ticking it four thirty eight, and they trailed twenty.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Two to seven. Shotguns back thirty four Seattle.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: He's hit as he tough back the ball free picked
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: up ye, no shoe running down the tight thirty twenty
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: ten five touchdown. It's picked off in a touchdown.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Seattle was stored on another turnover and that we'll seal
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and it seems right now for the Seahawks.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: In Super Bowl sixty, Kevin Arland Westwood one with the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: call that's right. The Seahawks won for the New England
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Patriots Sunday twenty nine to thirteen to claim the Super
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Bowl title. What a year it is been. Certainly at
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, I think this radio station
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and its hosts had good high hopes for this team,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a lot higher than what the national audience did.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We had a little secret.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: We knew that Mike McDonald had something special cooking. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody in town was predicting a
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl championship in year number two of the Michael
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: McDonald era. Much less and as impressive a fashion as
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: they wanted in, Mike Florio going as far on Softy
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and Dick as saying that felt like Division one versus
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Division two football, saying that the Patriots could have played
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks ten times and lost all ten games. It
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: looked like a mismatch.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: On Sunday.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So that's how far Mike Florio took it. But I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: certainly didn't expect this season to end in a super
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Bowl title, much less one in which.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You ran away with it in the Super Bowl. No,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think very many people did. When
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we did our little draft thing at the beginning, picking
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: wins and loss overs and under, I think all of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: us were wanting to take the Seahawks over what was
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: eight and a half?
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, half to eight and a half.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I think all of us were thinking that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: they were going to be better than that. But fourteen wins,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that's that's a lofty that's a lofty goal. I don't
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: care if it's almost double what Vegas said. I mean,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you're coming into next year. They just won in dominating fashion.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: They're not going to have the over Underre's not going
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to be fourteen wins, you know what I mean, It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: going to be less than that next year. After as
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: impressive as a season as this was. Uh So, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: don't think it was an over achievement. I think it
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just is Oh wow, maybe if you weren't paying attention,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you're paying attention now. Even if you were paying attention.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: There's there's a chance of greatness with this group of guys,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and they showed it all the way through the playoffs
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and the regular season.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable year. I mean, just a fun team to root for.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I think it's I don't think it's being
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: silly or careless or anything else. I mean, this is
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: just evaluating what this organization as going for it right now.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I think they're year ahead of schedule and they've already
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: won a championship and now with the third youngest team
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: in the NFL and the fifth most cap space in
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the National Football League, a thirty eight year old head coach,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a quarterback that's under contract, that has proven himself for
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: those that are still doubting, has proven himself as a
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: winner and as a champion and executive. Ashley that is
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: just absolutely on fire right now. I mean, yeah, a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: lot of things have to happen going forward. You still
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: gotta be excellent in every phase of running an organization.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But if anybody feels set up to have a nice
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: run here in the next few years, it's the Seattle Seahawks.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah it is.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: And we've talked a lot about you know, what makes
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: this team different than the team that won in twenty thirteen,
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: and you know, thinking that they could be set up
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: for continuing on that run. But it's the closeness and
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: these guys seem so appreciative to be here, yeah, which
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: is so so interesting. Yes, And they don't seem like
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: they're owed something for you know, it's more like.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're so happy to be here. This is so awesome.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Thank you for bringing us, thank you for putting this
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: team together.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: That's the difference.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's almost startling, it is to hear it so frequently,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: because I think we've gotten used to a sports world
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: where it is you were lucky to have me. Yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and yeah, between Julian Love and Leonard Williams and Sam
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Darnald going out of their way frequently this season, just
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: thank John Schneider for bringing them to Seattle. Yeah, I'm
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: with you on that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's and it's awesome.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: And I actually did hear someone today talking about Sam
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Darnald's mental toughness and how impressive it is for him
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: to have gotten to where he is now from where
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: he started, and how just awesomely focused and mentally tough
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: he has to be to accomplish what he has accomplished,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: is it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, congratulations the Seattle's the Hawk's World champions.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: What a week it has been.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And of course on Wednesday, the entire city celebrated it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: They're estimating over a million people showed up in downtown Seattle,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I mean just sees, not just a Sea sees on
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: every block of Sea Hawks fans and all of them
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: striking the right tone, the right mood for the event.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And of course that event got started with something that
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: will forever be known as the Red Solo Cup speech
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: from John Schneider.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna treat it like a like a wedding, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: like a little toast. Here we go, all right, to Mike,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald came into our lives and uh, well he
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: pretty much crushed it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: To Mike mcdonah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: To the players, this league is all about the players.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows that. We couldn't be more proud of the players.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: The work you guys put in, the work that you
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: guys did to build relationships, all the shadow boxing you
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: know you don't even know about. You guys are the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: heart and soul of what's going on. It's all about
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: you guys. To the players of settles, who.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Don you're the marriage Joe, Yeah exactly. Yeah, they read
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: solo cup speech will be forever remembered as John Schneider
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: was already there. He was there, Yeah, yeah, he was there,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: and he did I mean, he prefaced him by saying,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: this is going to sound like a wedding reception speech,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and it sort of did. I was picturing the entire
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: time he was up on stage. What whatever happened? If
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: John Schneider won like an Academy Award.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: For you know, best direction in a movie, he would
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: get out there.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's the centem photographers.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're also cheers and makeup.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Costuming the best costuming judge of the costume people would.

• 8:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, what a year?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And so I hope you soaked it all up and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I hope you carry the good vibes with you into
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the off season, because man, What a fantastic team, What
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: a fantastic job by this organization. And man did the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: twelve show up? I mean throughout the playoffs. That's celebration
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday. Man, I don't know if they could have
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: put their a better foot forward Sea Hawk fans everywhere
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: than what they did this week.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: So congratulations do all of you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: It was awesome all around, all around.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And now the off season is underway and that's exciting too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: You know, draftness isn't too far away.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, thing we celebrate.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell was on with us today talking about the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: first decision to make, and that's at the offensive coordinator
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: position to replace Clint Kubiak.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I asked Greg, when's that going to be done.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: They're interviewing internal candidates. McDonald said Monday told us as
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: early as Tuesday they were going to start interviewing internal candidates.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: Says that Jack, Teeth and Janoko those are the three
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: on the staff who immediately come to mind as someone
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: that could be interested in doing that. Incidentally, Frisman Jackson
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: is being interviewed by Kubiak for the offensive coordinator with
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: the Raiders, and that tells you if they're going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: the Sea Wide receiver coach who has been here even
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: before Mitell got here. Then they are keeping their main guys,
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: and I've been told that they're keeping their main guys,
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: I mean offensive line coaches, the quarterbacks coach. They need
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: to know the offensive line coach, John Betton. As I'd mentioned,
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: it's so key to what they do, what they did
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: this year, and what they do going forward. So it
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: doesn't look like it's going to be the raid of
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks staff by Klick Kubiak. He wasn't here long
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: enough to have that cachet with Mike McDonald. McDonald's not
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: going to let him come in here and leaving just
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: one year and take home the main key assistance with
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: them to the Raiders.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: It appears I get that we have the Ben Johnson
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Detroit Lions story to sort of reference when it comes
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: to losing an offensive coordinator. But it's not like the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Lions just fell apart offensively. They were still I mean,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Jamior Gibbs was amazing. And yet that's an that's a
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: recent example that sticks into our brains. Maybe I'm wrong.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: You never know about the chemistry between a coach and
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: a quarterback. You don't really know what kind of magical
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: sauce that Clint Kubiak delivers to this offense on a
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: day to day basis, not just on Sundays, but on
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: a day to day basis.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: But I just I just don't.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Foresee this being a major concern. But Hugh mellen does
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: is concerned about it. And and Hugh Mellan's been in
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: a few locker rooms and around a few OC's and
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: a few quarterbacks in the past, so this is obviously
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: an item of importance. And yet it does look like
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: they're going to promote from within to try and replace him.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. It's not nothing, that's for sure. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: yet it's he is replaceable. I don't think there's anybody
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that isn't replaceable besides Mike McDonald. You know, if that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: was a if that's where you're trying to fix, then
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: that's a whole different ballgame. I think they'll figure it out.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just kind of another thing where the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: same guy's in charge that brought Clint Kubiak in. He's
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know, he just he's only a year removed from
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: figuring out how to find somebody that fits into what
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald wants. The offense to look like. And so yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna figure it out. But it's it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: definitely more than it's not nothing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: It does make me feel better though, that they're looking
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: at someone within, someone who was close with Kubiak and
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: who would be taking, you know, the similar things, So
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: you're not at least bringing in someone who's got a
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: totally different offensive philosophy that now you'd have no synergy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: With what you were doing this year.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And again, you don't know what the little things that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Clint Kubiak did. Maybe that guy, even though he's got
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the same information, doesn't mean that he calls plays as
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: well on Sunday, doesn't mean that he communicates with his
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: players as well. So yeah, I see the reason for concern.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Here's why I'm not concerned because Mike McDonald spent one
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: week with Ryan Grubb and new that's not right right,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and then he got the right guy. And I faith
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald will know who the right guy is. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: agree now that he's a couple of years into this.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Free agents for the Seahawks, Pquel and Kobe Bryant, Boye, Mafe,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Josh Jones, Rashid Shaheed and of course Super Bowl MVP
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Ken Walker. Free agency starts in less than a month.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: The Hawks will draft last in the first round, the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: best team always does, and they only have four picks overall,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: a first rounder, a second rounder, a third rounder, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a sixth rounder. So you know John's gonna work his
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: draft day magic to try to accumulate more picks. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the NFL Combine is in just ten days. The first
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: televised workouts will be in thirteen days. In the meantime,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: we have baseball to pivot to. Spring training coverage begins
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: on Chuck and Buck. Our award winning spring training coverage
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: starts Monday morning at six am right here at Sports
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJARFM. And of course we
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: can't wait to talk to Josh Naylor for the first
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: time during spring training and the newcomers, including Brendan Donovan,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the big trade acquisition from a couple of weeks ago
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: over from the Saint Louis Cardinals, and everybody's just pray
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: azing what a good person Brendan Donovan is. Dan Wilson
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: on MLB Network last night was asked by Tom Verducci
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: about the new Seattle Mariner.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: He brings a lot of Uh, you know, flexibility, a
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: lot of versatility to our lineup and and uh uh
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: you know, not only in the field, but but you
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: know at the plate as well.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: So we are excited to have him.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: And and I think, you know, completes our lineup in
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: a big way. And you know, as as games get
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: going here we figure out the lineup then and uh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: he's gonna plug right in. I think the type of
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: player that that he has such a strong desire to win.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: He's he's intense. Uh he's a quiet guy, but but
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: he you know, he lets his his bat do the talking.
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: And and uh, we're excited to have him as a
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: part of our club.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, and maybe you didn't like the off season for
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the Mariners, maybe it fell short again for you, But
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I would just tell you from their perspective, Uh, they
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: got the two guys they circled. Jose Ferrera was one
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: of the guys they circled. Brendan Donovan was one of
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the guys they circled. And one of the reasons they
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: wanted Brendan Donovan so badly was because of his position
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: of flexibility. Because they're really not sure what to expect
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: at spring training. They don't know if cold Emerson's ready.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: They don't know if Cole Young just automatically gets the
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: second base job. But you bring in at Brendan Donovan
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and he gives you that positional flexibility. You can play
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: him at thirty, you can play him at second, You
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: could even play him in the outfield for goodness sake.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: And his bat, I think is going to be in
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the lineup every day. We just don't know right now
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: what position he's.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Going to play this year. Yeah, I think the I
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: mean his bat I think is the big part, just
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: because of how consistent he is. I mean he's a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: two to eighty career hitter too. Eighty two career here,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that's like three twenty back in the day. I think
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that they like that mix, a little bit more contact
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in with some of the swing and miss that you
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you have. He doesn't bring a lot to the table
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: when it comes to power and stuff like that. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: then the versatility, you couple that with versatility defensively, Now
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you're not relying on multiple youngsters kind of coming through
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and turning into solid big leaguers right off the bat.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: You can say, all right, one of you needs to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: step up and play either second or third, and Brendan
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Nonan can take the other one.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Hey, best case scenario is Cole Young and cold Emerson
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: are so good, you put them both in the lineup.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Donovan then becomes this super utility player who's in the
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: lineup every day, but you can move them around at
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: different positions, and I think that might be his best use.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: But he's going to be in the lineup every day
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: and right now being projected as the leadoff hitter on
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: this team. The offseason moves do seem to be at
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: an end for the Mariners. I don't think we're going
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to be talking about any big acquisition during spring training
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: coverage this year. So they are set, ready to go.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: We are set and ready to go again. Chuck and
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Buck live from Peoria starting Monday at six a m.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, the NBA they've got I know, we've
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: been so focused on football. Maybe it didn't even realize
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: that it's NBA All Star weekend time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: All Star Game is a Sunday two pm tip. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: will not feature Lebron James for the first time in
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: twenty two years.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: That is just phenomenal.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: The Slam Dunk Contest really is not going to feature
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: any household names, that's for sure. May feature zero players
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: you've even heard of period Jackson, Hayes, Jace Richardson, Kashaw Johnson,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and Carter.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Bryant check that box.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I have not heard of one of them.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: At least a CBA player won't win for a fourth
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: year in a row. Mack McClung will not defend his
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: title this year. The throne has been vacated, and Adam
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Silver will undoubtedly speak and perhaps provide updates on how
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the league plans to contend with the growing tanking issue
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: that the league is facing right now, and hopefully we'll
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: learn more about his expansion plan because that does directly
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: affect us right here in Seattle. Speaking of hoops college
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: basketball this weekend, you double be in action against the
• 18:03

• 18:56
  Speaker 3: at all times, New Carshall.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well yeah, but if they play them for both teams,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: then you're still being impartial, right, It's just that the
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: other team has to score more to hear their song more.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, try try harder next time, Latvia.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: If you want to hear your song, you got to

  Speaker 4: Oh?

• 20:02
  Speaker 2: So you've never stayed up.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Till midnight to bring in Valentine's Day? Is that what
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: you're jolling?
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: No?
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: No, no, It's not high on my list. And I
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: am looking forward to our annual steak dinner tomorrow.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, coming up next, speaking of Valentine's Day,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I was at Walgreens yesterday. I couldn't believe what I saw. Already,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: hot off the presses Seahawks Valentine's Day cards. Sports Radio
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: ninety three point three KJRFM throughout the world, throughout the globe,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: and we here at Chalking Block in the morning. Sports
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM didn't want you to
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: forget about it as a matter of fact, I was
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: caught off guard yesterday. I'm just doing my normal daily routine,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: you know, honeydeo list, go pick up some things at
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: the store, and lo and behold. I go to my
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: local Walgreens and man if I didn't go fast and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I'm just minding my own business right mine, in your
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: own bees. And there I saw in the cards section
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: they have already out for print Seahawks Super Bowl Valentine's
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Day cards.
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: No, I did not.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Isn't that awesome that they're already out? So, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe they didn't get them out in
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: time for the kids, or maybe they're exchanging right now
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: at school. Maybe they're Seahawks Valentine's Health cards. In my world,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: in my heart, that's what they're doing.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids didn't get Seahawks ones. Yes today? Is
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: there actually Gracier's was yesterday?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Did they still do the thing where you make your mailbox,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: you create your mailbox and then you trade the cards.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's more of an envelope. It was a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: bag for Gracers. I think Bears is like a big
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: heart envelope thing that people drop the year of Valentine's
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: in but they're very boogie nowadays. Like I mean, Bears,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I mean pretty creative. Kate Kate's giving the there's like
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: it's a Barry something. All the Valentine's say something about
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Bear and then it's a little stuffed will Bear that
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: they all get to him. Like I just remember getting
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: one candy heart that said will you be minor? Yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, the one little little
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: chalk flavored candy.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Heart, chalky heart candy.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with the little messages on there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: And then you would always you would always try to
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: like match the card sentiment from Spider Man with the
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: girl that you liked the most.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, and then.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: You didn't want Superman to give the other girl in
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: the class the wrong idea, so you had to really
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: give like the neutered you know, just be mine Valentine,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: your meat Valentine.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those all went to the guys. I was throwing
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: all the love out to the ladies, all of them.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Well, then you know what I mean when I say
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I came across Seahawks Valentine's Day trading and so I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: surprised they're out. It's all the Seahawk players on the
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: roster and I just thought I would.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Read a few of them. That's nice.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't believe that they are already out like this.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: What a celebration. It makes sense that Julian Love would
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: have one. But you're saying they all have it, they all,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: they all have them as a matter of fact. Uh
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So let's uh, let's just just a couple of examples
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: for you. You got my Heart on Drew Locke Valentine.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right like that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the name, good use of play on words.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: And then there's a picture of Drew and he's holding
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: the football in one hand and a candy heart in
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the other.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just really well done.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: He's real adorable.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, yeah, it really does.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Charles crossed my Heart and hope to die if you
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: won't be my Valentine.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Charles cross my Heart.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and as Charles there, you know, looking rich, Yeah,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: like he does new contract and making the cross over
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: his chest over his head. Yeah of course.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I picked ones. Yeah, well, Shark Truson,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Uh and then another one, don't be scared, Nate call
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: her up Valentine.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, everybody on the roster gully.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, good for him, and it's.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Nate like looking all nervous with the phone in his hand.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Don't be scared, Nate, call her up.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: It's like the bubble, Yeah, the bubbles.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Answer.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And then there are certainly some other ones and they
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: kind of put them into categories, which I think is
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: great because you never know, like you're giving away Valentine's cards,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: you could be on different levels where your relationship is at.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: And so for example, for young people or those just
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: starting to date, there's number twenty one on a Valentine's
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Day card and it just says, let's Devin witherspoon Valentine.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Oh that sounds cozy, yeah, spoony.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I remember that from relationships.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you wanted to be next to the person. Yeah,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: and then we were like this is really.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Warm, when you didn't care about sweating and my arm
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: is going to sleep.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: I feel my arm. This isn't comfortable.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Well, you know really in terms of the affection examples
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: of affection shown, spooning is awesome. Yeah, I mean think
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: about that being with the person that you know, theoretically
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: love and are attracted to. Cola close but It is
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: really difficult, especially for the guy, because I always thought
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: about carving a hole in the bed so that my
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: arm could go through it, so at least it wouldn't
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: go numb and pillows for that. All right, Uh so,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: all right, for the next level, we've got our veteran
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: safety on a card. For those that have been together
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: for years, Let's make sweet sweet Julian love, Valentine.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: That one's a little creepy.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Is that one creepy?
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Let's make sweet sweet Julian love?
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I'm intercepting the past.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to intercept anything comes
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: down to that. Well, I like it. What are you
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: gonna do? Times you don't want to leave on the table?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Didn't get sent to anybody.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Uh there's one with our punter on it. And this
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: is I think for the Valentines who have been married
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: for years. And it's getting a little bit of a
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: routine now. It just says, are you sure your Michael Dixon?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And it's a picture of Michael Dixon. Are you sure
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you're Michael Dixon?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: And then a little thought ball boy He's like, yeah,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah, yeah, Michael question yeah, but yes, are
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: you sure you're Michael Dixon.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: That might be my favorite.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Oh is that right? Right?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: What about this one? Uh?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Oh you call that a hand job Valentine.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Those are breakup Vale right there, those are breakup.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Another interesting one. I'm not sure I really know how
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: to interpret that, but yeah, he's a hand defender. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: suppose you know.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Wow, I almost passed out. I left too hard.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Or for the geriatric couple, let's try one more time
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: because we're not getting any Derek younger Valentine, and along
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: those lines, I can always take a Blue Brandon Peely Valentine.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they's sold out right away. So it's a
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: good thing you got your hands on them.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or I mean even Valentine, even people who aren't
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: in love and are still in relationships, they got to
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: give Valentine a card. And so this is for those
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: who are just done with it all. Get your hands
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: off my connor o'toolval.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to see some of the strokes he
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: g rated. I guess I'm a little surprised by that. Yeah,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: right next to the snoopy Valentine's Day cards?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what have you?
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: I like that because they all have their own Valentine.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: It means you can buy one box and that covers everyone.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they full gamut.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they just kind of divided it up into hands
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: hand jokes.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's good. You got them all.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So and you found a way to work in
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: the punter, I mean for your Valentine's which is.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Good for you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Good, good work Seahawks. Yes, you know, we talked about
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: that the kicking game didn't get enough.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Credit in the Super Bowl. So I'm really I'm really
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: glad that he's got a prominent card.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He really does. It's one of the most popular I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: can imagine. Yeah. So anyway, that's just a few of them.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I can't go through them all, but just a few
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: of the extra just sent and I want to grow
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Sam darn you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Also, someone else said, I just spit my water everywhere.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: It's probably on the hand job.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Or Michael Dixon's.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Michael Dixon one really was from the heart.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Anyway, We've got We're bought to play b Bucky today
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: at the nine o'clock today, But coming up next on
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: the radio show, there's a saga in college football that
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: may or may not have come to an end yesterday,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: and I think it's worth talking about before we hit
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Saturday Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: coming up at the top of the hour. It's been
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: a long time since we played, but we will continue
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: to celebrate the Super Bowl Championship here on this Friday
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: with a round of Beat Bucky, So that comes your
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: way at nine o'clock today. We also have our Mariners
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: spring training coverage you at nine to thirty today. Yes,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: come Monday morning, we will be down in Peoria. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: know it sounds early, but this is where we do
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: it every year, the very first week leading up when
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: all the players are there reporting and leading up to
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: the first spring training game. We love being down there
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: that week. Can't wait to get down there and bring

• 30:24
  Speaker 3: we'll preview our coverage coming up at nine thirty today,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Chuck Buck and Ashley with you. But I think this
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: is interesting. I think this is worth five minutes. We
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: haven't talked college football in a little while, and they
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: have dealt with their latest controversy. Trinidad Chambliss was has
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: really gone through the court system to try to stay
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: at Ole Miss, and yesterday a judge ruled that you
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: can play again. You have another year of eligibility, even
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: though the NCAA fought him for whatever reason, they fought
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: him tooth and nail to keep him from an extra
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: year of eligibility at Ole Miss. Now, Trinidad Chambliss is
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the quarterback at Old Miss that led them to the
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Final four and really was the best player on the
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: team and.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: May have been.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, by the end of the year, he was
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: just he was just as good as anybody in the country.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: And so he's going to return. He's going to play
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: next season. And the reason that I bring this up is,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: you know, for all of the uncertainty and the hand
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: ringing and the problems that we have with nil and stuff,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: and all of the changes that have happened in college football,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: this really is one of the benefits. They have just
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: made college football far more attractive.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: To young football players.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Now, I mean Trinidad Chambliss, he's undersized and right now
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to be a short quarterbacks not the best thing in
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the world. Seems to be had a bad year. Short
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks had a bad year this past year. But this
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: is a down year for NFL for quarterbacks in the draft,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: it's Fernando Mendoza, and then they don't even know when
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the next quarterback is going to be taken. Chambliss might
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: have been, despite his size and some of the physical limitations,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: he might have been the second quarterback taken in this draft.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: And yet he's like, I'm going to fight the court system.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go to court all off season so
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: that i can play another year because I'm going to
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: make more NIL money at Ole Miss next season than
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I am as a second or third round draft pick
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League draft.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I mean a few years ago, kids were leaving the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: first opportunity that they got because I need that NFL money. Well,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: because they're now getting paid at the college level, they're
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: starting to realize the merits of staying in college a
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: little while longer. And that only improves the.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Product that we get to watch on Saturdays.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Not saying if it's morally right or incorrect or correct,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying this stuff like this is improving the
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: product that we watch on Saturday.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's not correct if you're still considering college
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: athletics amateur athletics I'm not, but they're not. So it is.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: It's basically it is the minor leagues. It always was
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the minor leagues, and then they even did pay guys
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: under the table. Now it's all somewhat above board, and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: so it is what it is. It's professional sports. And
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: so I think my favorite part about it is he
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: might be one of those guys. He may not have been,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: but by not having this draw to just simply money,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and I got to take that money now, because what
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: if I get hurt and I never get the opportunity
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: to play professional football. The idea of no, I need
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: more seasoning so I don't wind up having to go
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: down the road of a Sam Darnold, for example, that
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: obviously wasn't ready when he first came out right, a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: couple more years of seasoning would have benefited him, and
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: he's just on a long long list of quarterbacks or
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: just players in general. That felt like, oh, right, now,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty good opportunity. I'm going to get a
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: shot in the NFL, even though in the back of
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: their head they're like, man, I really probably need to
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: get a little bit better before I'm going to be
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: able to show my true self to the NFL. So
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's better on both fronts. I think you're
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: going to see a better product in college because guys
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: can stay there and make millions of dollars in college,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: and then when they are actually ready to come out
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: in the pros, you're gonna have less guys they get
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: labeled as bus because they just flat out came out
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: because the money told them they needed to and they
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: weren't actually ready.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: To well, and you're going to have more guys that
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: come in and are just ready to be an immediate
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: impact on a team, which will which will be fun
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: to watch as well, especially.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: The quarterback posession like bo Nixes.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well, I mean this is the trend right now,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: and we always follow these trends come Draftmas time. The
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: trend right now is we don't even want an inexperience.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: One year is not enough of college experience. We want
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: the bow Nixes that are going to be decent from
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: the first snap in the NFL and still have growth
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: potential to become special eventually down the line. And so
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: they are really shying away from guys that only have
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: thirteen games of experience, and they are really excited about
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: the guys that have thirty five games of experience. Dante
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: More was going to be a first round pick, he
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: might have been the second overall, and he decided, I'm
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: going to go back to college. I want more seasoning.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I want to be ready when I get to the
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: National Football League, And I think I could use another
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: year of seasoning at the collegiate level. And oh, by
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the way, I'm going to be making just about as
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: much money playing quarterback for Oregon as I was as
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: a rookie in the National Football League, So why not
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: get that extra year of seasoning. So I realized there
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: are a lot of flaws to this. I realize we
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: don't have a finished product on how we're going to
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: pay players. We got a lot of things to work out.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: But just the idea of paying players is lending itself
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: toward guys not rushing too early to the NFL, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: that's making the NFL product better and it's making the
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: collegiate product better at the exact same time. So there
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: are some merits to this whole NIL paying players system
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: that we have launched.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's there's still flaws and they gotta
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: iron out those wrinkles. But I think that this is
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: an example of while you know, there's used to just
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: be basically four years of eligibility plus one red shert year, right,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: and it was and then they were like, okay, well
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: you can get a medical red shirt now, okay, So
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: that enters into it. The playing a simple part of this,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: you know, shambly part of this is like he there
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: was one year where he didn't even suit up for
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: a game, and yet they weren't given him a red
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: shirt year. And so I think that's where this judge
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: in particular, said no, let's go ahead and do that. Good.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: That's just basically sticking to the rules that are already
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: put in place. I think there's ways in which maybe
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: a good thing like what you're talking about, the overarching
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: picture of more the product of college quarterbacks or college
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: players wanting to stay in college because they can make money,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: makes that product better. And then you don't have, like
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I said, you don't have this introductory phase at the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: NFL that off in times, you know, teams are quick
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to give up on somebody because they don't have the patients.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: They can't wait around, and they're going to lose their
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: job if they stick with something that they brought in
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: that just wasn't seasoned enough at this point. So I
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: think there's definite benefits on both sides of this issue. Yeah,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I think that the real story here is that there
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: is a college player. Years ago, they would race early,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: prematurely to get to the NFL, and there was a
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: college player that was willing to go through the arduous
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: process of the court system, and he got rejected a
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: couple of times and just kept after it just so
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: we could stay in college.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Think about how hard it was to keep guys.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: In college once upon, say if that happened fifteen years ago,
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: five years ago.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, five years ago they were, you know, going
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: prematurely into the National Football League. So I think it's
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: good for the product of football that we love so much.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up next, we have not played this
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: in weeks, maybe even months. It's time to play our
