• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Here we go nine o'clock hour on a Friday, as
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we now sprint toward the weekend the anchor leg, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we always hand the baton to our fastest runner, that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is Hugh Millan right here with us. Uh usually x'es
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and o's. I mean, we're not an x as and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: O season, but we are at the end of NFL
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: free agency frenzy, and we did sign a running back
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday that could be the air apparent to Ken Walker.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So we gotta get Hugh Millon's thoughts on it, don't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you agree?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Percent And we know he's gonna come in here, I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: mean just chopping them feet like a sewing machine.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it, No doubt about it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: You better when you're a defender of my scouting report, yep,
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: like a machine.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah you're trying to Yeah, you better look at that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: belly button. You're looking at anything else, You're gonna miss him.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll juke, You'll juke you right out of your jock.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Good morning you, good morning to be with you.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm sure you did the deep dive
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: last night on the new running back. Emmanuel Wilson from
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. What did you come away with?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think we can reason this through a
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: little bit. Let's look at the market for twenty twenty
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: six of running backs. We've got ten running backs that
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: have signed. We're still waiting on the numbers on Rashad White.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be around where Wilson was. But
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: of the nine we have, the average is eight point
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: one million. That you've got Etn Well K Nine's at
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the top at fourteen point three million. Then you got
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Etn at thirteen million, you got JK. Dobbins at eight million,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Kenneth gain Well at seven, Rico Dade Dabbles six point one,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Tyler al Jill six point one, Chris Rodriguez five million,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Keithon Mitchell at four point six and then Emmanuel Wilson's
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: at two point one million, less than half of this
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: of the second lowest guy on that list. Again, the
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: second lowest guy keep mitching four point six million. Right,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So the market is speaking, and and and then I
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: want I want you to also consider that the Packers,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into their they've signed some
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: guys to be backup running backs. And you know they've
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: got this number two in mind, they've got another guy
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: to be a third. So the Packers had him for
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: three years and did not tender him, which would have
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: been at three point five to two million, and and
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: so three point five to two million would have been
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: well below what I just said is the second lowest.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So so I.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Think before you even throw on the tape, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: you know, you get a picture of where the market was.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So as you know, I'm just nerdy enough to go
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: look at every single play for this past season with
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and the first thing you noticed right up the jump,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: and the way I study the tape is I've got
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I've got the sideline copy on one side, it's the intercut,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and then right next to it is the end zone copy,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: and they run, you know, concurrently, and so you kind
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: of watch in your frame. You know, the dude's dude's
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: a thick dude. I mean, I mean, before you even
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: snap the ball, go oh okay, that guy's stick at
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty six pounds at five ten. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: then you watch the tape and you watch, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I watched the one hundred and twenty six carries that he
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: had and the seventeen times that they threw him the football,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: and you know the first thing I'm I'm looking, I'm
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: saying I don't see a lot of burst. I don't
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: see long speed, I don't see lateral quickness whatsoever. Few
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: broken tackles. We'll get to some of these, some stats
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: that reflect on this. And as I'm sitting there going
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, I'm getting in a bad mood.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Not because the Seahawks didn't replace Kenneth Walker, but I
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: don't like to come on your show. I'm a Seahawk fan,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I'm from Seattle. It's a lot more fun for me
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: to watch a tape and go, oh wow, this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: gonna be fun. I can't wait go on the radio
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and talk about all these things that I love about
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: this player. That's a lot more fun for me. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: all I can do is just give you my assessment.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I was prepared until the Viking game on the tape
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to say, you know what this is gonna be exactly like.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Do you remember when I when they signed Marcus Valdez
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Scanle and I came on your show the next morning?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Do you happen to remember what I said?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You didn't know if he would make the opening day roster?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Everybody's saying, well, this is the replacement for DK metcalf.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that's what I see, not what I see
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: on the tape. And so I was looking, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: he's two point one million, nothing is guaranteed, and prior
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: to watching the Viking game, I'm like, I think this guy,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: you know, fifty to fifty whether he makes the team.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: And now he did play. And I mentioned the Viking
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: game because that that's the game. It was at Green Bay.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: He had one hundred and seven yards on twenty eight carries,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: so that's three point eight yards per tempt. But there
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: were some nice runs there and he saw I saw
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: a lateral quickness from him. And by the way, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: think his vision is pretty good. I put some disparaging
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: points I think throughout the tape. I think I think
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: he has a good idea of where the holes are.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think he misses holes. But he's had forty
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: five games in his career. Of the forty five, he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: had four games over fifty five yards and and his
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: career high as the one time over one hundred is
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the Minnesota game. Now, a few weeks later they came
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: back and they played in Minnesota and I think Brian
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Floores got after their ass the defensive coordinator for the Vikings,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and and and at that point, Wilson had eighteen carries
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: forty four yards two point four yards per attempt, so
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I think they kind of shut him down. But in
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: any event, yeah, that's what I see. I mean, here's
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: a guy that that his twenty yards shuttle the combine,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: he's thirty if one hundred percent of his best. He
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: was thirty third percentile on the twenty yard settle that
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: shows up on tape, the three cone drill. These are
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the things that measure your kind of lateral quickness nineteenth
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: percent out. You know, he's where Canine is a one
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: four nine. He's a one five eight in his first
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: ten yards. And then you know Canine had fifteen rushes
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: of twenty of fifteen excuse me, let me start over
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: fifteen yards or more. Canine had twenty two rushes, Wilson
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: had one. The mistackle percentage Canine had twenty seven percent,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Emmanuel Wilson eleven point six percent. And then okay, is
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: there the physical component. I mentioned this frame yards after
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: contact per rush out of fifty two running backs who
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: had one hundred or more attempts. Last year he was
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: dead in the middle twenty six out of fifty two.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So I think we're talking.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: About a guy that is and he wasn't a special
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: team's contributor. So I think you just have to say,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, why did the Packers, Why are the
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Packers on signing these other guys to be their second
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and third running back? You know, why does the market
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: only render two point one million? And then you throw
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: on the tape and you just kind of say, this
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: is a guy that's that's going to be in a
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: camp battle to make the football team.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, I mean I'm with you.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the measurables and stuff is some of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the stuff that I went back and looked at, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: those were not anything spectacular as forty is. None of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the stuff at the combine made him look like he
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: was good enough to where anybody drafted him. That's why
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: he was signed by Denver as a as an undrafted
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: free agent. And so I'm wondering if you can put
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: on your your Hawks fan rose colored glasses just a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, is there anything besides I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: does he at least put his shoulders down when you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: need two yards, and he'll go get the tough yards
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: because he's built. He's built like he could be a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: kind of a bit of a tough load to bring down.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, does he bring something to the table where
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, this is something we throw into the mix.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And if he continues to blossom with a little bit
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: more reps or a bigger opportunity, then maybe he could
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: be something to tide over until some one of these
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: other youngsters gets healthy or or somebody else comes through.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Well, there's there. You know, he's stronger.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You do see there's a few mistackles on the on
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the tape, As I said, where Canine is twenty seven percent,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: this guy's eleven point six percent, Yeah, there was some,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: But I think that is moving the pile kind of
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: left me underwhelmed. I thought when I saw his frame
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: on play one, I just kind of assumed when I
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: watched one hundred and twenty six carries that I would
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: see more plays where he moved the pile. But but
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: you know, if I just watched the Viking game, I'd say, Okay,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: this guy's a solid number two in the NFL. Not
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a starter, but a solid number two, Like like he's
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: making your football team. I think the rest of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: tape leans me towards you know, friends player, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: not a guarantee to make the team. And uh and
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: and and and by the way, you know I mentioned
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the combines, you know, having played in Dallas with Emmitt Smith.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Emmitt Smith ran a four to six uh you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: you know I was with Tryl Davison and Eric Dickerson,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you know, two other Hall of famers. They take their
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: shirt off and and you could go up and you
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: could knock on their uh on their on their pecks
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: if you if, if you were inclined to do that,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: and they would make a sound like these guys were
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: just just ripped. And emittt was just soft. He's you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: my wife's side five eight, you know, like the there's
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: nothing about the measurables with Emmett. You had to watch
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the tape to see his greatness. So I'm not just saying, well,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go look at a guy's combine numbers and
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and then tell you what I think of him as
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: a running back. No, what I'm saying is what I see.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I don't see great burst, I don't see great lateral quickness.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And and what the tape shows is supported by how
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: he tested.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get too personal, but do you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: ever go up and knock on your wife's pecks? Find?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: And that doesn't even known to happen, But you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: it just depends on your definition.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You villain is with us our QB one talking about
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the signing of Emmanuel Wilson. So if you're out and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the the vMac and you got John Schneider there and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you're out in the gravel, uh, and you're talking to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: him out by the train tracks where we tend to,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you know, meet before we leave the facility, and it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just the two of you in the wilderness out there,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and and he says to you, yeah, I think we
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: got the ken Walker a whole solved. Between Wilson and Halani.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: What do you say to the executive of the Year.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I would hope I'm not drinking a coffee right
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: at the moment because I might spit it out and
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: and and and it might burn him. Look, I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that that he the keys fantastic. I love the guy's personality.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And uh, I.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Mean there's a lot you know, he's he seems fun
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: and but uh and and and accomplished.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Like if if you want to say he's the best
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: GM in the in the league, I'm not going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: put up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: An argument, like he's earned a lot of cash, like
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: almost limitless, right, But let's talk about the running backs
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: that that they've drafted. You ring a bell when you
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: when when you there's a star player. Robert Turbin, Christen
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Michael Answer where Kiero Small, CJ Procie, Alex Collins, Zach Brooks,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Chris Carson, Okay, Rassard Penny that you know, that's that's
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: a tough one because of the injuries. Travis Homer, DJ Dallas,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker obviously, Zach Charbonay, Okay, Kenny McIntosh, Damian Martinez.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Like that, that's the list of running backs that they have.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: And and even when you go second rounders, where I
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: think Seattle's you know, the most likely thing they'll they'll
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: probably take the second rounder on a running back. They're
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: in my mind, they're one for three on second rounders.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: You know, Chris and Mike Well, yeah, I mean Zach Scharbonay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you know, one and a half out of three.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: But but Canine is the only one who's a number
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: one out of the second rounders. I don't think zach
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: scharbon A is a number one. I think he's you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: a solid two. But he but you know that's my
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're they're they're just no comparison in my opinion.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: So so I think that that just because a guy
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: is great does not mean he's an errand And so
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I would to answer your question. And we've had, you know, conversation,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: not out in the gravelly woods like you're talking about,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: but we've yucked it up a few times over the
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: years and and talked about and and and he's a
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: fun guy. And I would be crestfallen if he wasn't
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: the general manager of the Seahawks, Like I hope that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: clear everybody would be right. Yeah, But but that doesn't
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: mean there's not some holes in his game. And I've
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: got some concerns about where they are running back going
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: into the twenty twenty six season.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: If you were looking at Wilson replaces Charbonnay while he's injured,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: versus thinking it through the prism of replacing Walker, do
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you feel better about that?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: So he's a he's a two.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the two. He's the guy that the thunder,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the thunder, the tough yardage. He's just gonna
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: be the you know, he's gonna take make up that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: spot till Charbona is healthy, versus trying to look at
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it through he's replaced.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he's as good as Sharbone as
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: a two. I think that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I think he's a two three type guy. Uh you know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I think it'd be more like a Halani versus.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: But Halani's a special teams guy. This guy doesn't do
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: play play special teams.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: They threw to him seventeen times, he caught fifteen. He
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: dropped a screen pass. But I think he you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: he shows just a naturally he doesn't fight the ball.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I think the other one was a wheel route and
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Jordan Love over threw him intentionally. So so I thought
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: his contributions as a receiver were you know, more than adequate.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: You know, you know, all of these were checkdowns. They
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: don't feature him. It was always like, okay, you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Jordan lovuh one, no, two, no, let me throw the swing.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: And he's fine in that capacity. He's not You're not
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: gonna You're not gonna third down, you know, McCaffrey, you're
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: gonna run an option route on on third and four,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: you know, in a critical time of the game. You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: you know, he's not that kind of receiver, but but
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: he's adequate. So but yeah, that's my assessment. I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: he's below the median number two. Okay, and uh, you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I think he's a fringe number two. He's a two
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: three okay.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: In our last couple of minutes, I did want to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: ask you we've had this big topic this week about
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Cal and Randy, uh and whether or not the handshake
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: at the WBC should have been reciprocated. We don't know
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: how big of an issue this is within the Mariners family,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: but it's obviously not gone away. There's something there. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I would just ask you, somebody that's been in a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: locker room for a lot of your career, a lot
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of your life span, how would this go over for
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you if this you watch this exchange occur.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Well, my question would be, I think that that Randy
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: and Cal are gonna emerge out of this more or
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: less what they brought into it. Tell me what their
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: relationship was before. Now you know, I've had, as you know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: for the last few years, I've had press credentials. See
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: you guys down there at spring training, and and you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I just kind of and and that credential allows you
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: to kind of you're just kind of mixing in with
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: all the guys in the stuff they do. You're you're
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: very close to the action. And because I'm very interested
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: in the pitchers, you know, I watched the both Penned
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: sessions and years ago. You know, I was like, Wow,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: this cal Raley is a hell of a leader. You
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: can just tell how he interacts. You know, there's there's
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: a confidence to him, but he's like one of the guys.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: And I think for leadership, I think that there's there's
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: basically three three.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Components of being a leader.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: This is twenty five years of playing football, twenty four
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: years of coaching, and I've given this a lot of thought.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Number One, I think have to be a great player.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I've never seen a leader, you know, at least a
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: very good player. You know, at a professional locker room,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: if you're a below the average player, you don't have
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of leadership juice. That's just my opinion. Number Two,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: you have to be a burning competitor. And I'll come
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: back to that, because there's there's many subsets to that.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: And then number three, you got to point the thumb,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: not the finger. You got to be accountable, right and
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: and you know, so I've seen you know, John Elways
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: considered one of the great leaders. You know, watched him.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: And and when you're a burning competitor, you prepare, you're
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: physically tough, you're mentally tough, you fight through adversity. You
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: employ your teammates in a way, and your teammates know
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: that winning matters to you. And so so if you
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: if you check those boxes, those three boxes, then there's
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: room for different personalities. My sense, my overwhelming sense, is
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: that cal Rawly checks those those boxes. And then his
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: personality is the type that he would be like, no,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: we're not we're not boys in this moment. Now he
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: can you know, with his left hand, he could have
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: with the back of his mit. If there's an issue
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: about pine tar, he could have just dabbed him, like
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: we know, he could have accomplished that if that was
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a concern. I don't think that was it. I think
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: it was now Here's here's another point. I studied Spanish
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: for three years in high school and Signora Odama tried
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: to teach us about Mexican and South American culture and mocha,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: pichu and all these things, you know. And and now
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: maybe in year four they would have taught about the
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: culture of handshakes on a baseball field. I didn't get
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: to year four. But we have to at least and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and Bucky, heck, you played down there, you'd speak to this,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: but you have to. We have to at least say
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: there's a chance that the culture difference is a vital element.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: And of course I'm not the first to raise this component.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Now that doesn't mean you just get carte blanched just
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: everything as well. It's just different culture and then you
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: can excuse uh, you know, destructive behavior. But getting back
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: to my thought, I think that if they if if
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: if Randy respected Cal and I can't imagine he didn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: before the incident, then he, unless he's a total jackwagon,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: will will find a way to understand Cal And. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: think they will emerge out of it what they brought
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: into it. And my my, I suspect what they brought
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: into it was that they have great respect for each other. Yeah, right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: because cal is gonna humble himself and he's gonna, you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: even if he doesn't, you know, he's gonna say, hey, look,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: look my bad.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna go overboard to try and mend it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: But you know, for I.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Don't want to totally dismiss it because when when Randy
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: said he can go to Hell, I was like you guys, thinking, well,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: he must be joking, like he doesn't really mean that, right,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: you know, But then based on Cow's response and the
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: subsequent response, you go, wait a minute, he right in
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: that moment, he kind of meant Cow can go to Hell.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: So I do think there's some patchwork to be done.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I think it will be done for the reasons we've
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: been just that I've expressed.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: All right, man, thank you very much.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: We appreciate it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, and we'll talk to you soon.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Hammer down.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, guys, there he is our QB one, Humellon joining
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: us right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: long NFL career, UDUB quarterback and our QB one for
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a number of years around thesier parts. All right, coming
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: up next on our radio program, The Osky's hoops season
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: comes to another disappointing end, but will head coach Danny
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Sprinkle will be given a break for all the injuries
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: his team went through this past year. Sports Radio ninety
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: three point three kJ RFM. They didn't do that. It's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Chuck Buck and Ashley with you here on a Friday.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: We're cruising toward boozing here at the nine forty five
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: this morning. But I did want to have this conversation
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we started a little bit yesterday, and I certainly don't
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: want it to end up. Uh. I don't want Ashley
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: getting nasty with me. I'll tell you that much. Not
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: on a Friday, But we were talking a little bit
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: yesterday about Danny Sprinkle. I hope Danny Sprinkle is the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: answer for UW hoops. He seems like a really nice, charming,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: hard working guy. I know we busted his ass. I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: know that he went into the state of depression at
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the end of last season because he didn't feel like
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he came through for Husky Uh spit fans in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and the fan base and the and the community. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: he really did a great job in recruiting, and we
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: went in it this year with a lot of Husky
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: fans who knew more intricately the process than I did
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: that there there's no doubt. If there's if they don't
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: make the tournament this year, there's a problem. And they're
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: not going to make the tournament, and they're not even
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: going to come close to making the tournament. And so
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I do believe that he is vulnerable, at least to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the conversation as to whether or not he's the right
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: guy for the job. And I'm not really sure, per
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Ashley's point yesterday, how much leniency he gets for all
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: of the injuries that the team suffered this year. But
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I won't say one more word about it. I'll turn
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it over to Ashley because she does want to give
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a grace period because of all
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of the injuries.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: That they had.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: I just think because it's been so extreme.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, when you're finishing the season with eight players,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: when you're finishing the season with seven players on a scholarship,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: three players who have played in every single game, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: that's hard to have any consistency that throughout the season.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you don't have a.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Consistency in your lineup, you don't know who's available.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: From day to day. And they showed some bright moments.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, was there season a disappointment, absolutely, Yeah, but
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: they did show a lot of fight. I mean even yesterday,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: I guess against Wisconsin against USC on I don't know
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: what date is on Wednesday. Yeah, I mean this team
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: has a lot of fighting them. They have a lot
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: of heart in them. They have a lot of skill
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: and a lot of talent. It's just not coming together.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: And I can understand where at that point, Yeah, that's
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: you got to look at Danny Sprinkle.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: That is a Sprinkle concern.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: But I have to and I don't usually I don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: like making excuses, but the injury problem for you, dub
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: this year was so huge that butt can't be ignored.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And he has to be given another chance. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in your estimation. And I don't have a problem with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: him giving being given another chance if that is the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: decision that is made. The only here's the argument that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I would make is that, look, there were a lot
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: of injuries and to a number of people, and yet
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and if and so I understand why Washington Husky's basketball
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this year wasn't as good as it could have been.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: But to fall this far off, I mean they have
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they're sixty eight teams that make the tournament I mean,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: nobody was expecting you to cut down the nets this season,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: but there are sixty eight teams and hed't even come
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: close to the tournament. And frankly, you know, I realized
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of injuries, but not really do
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: your best player he missed some time, Steinbach missed some time.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I would rather on a basketball team, specifically, I would
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: rather lose my fourth, fifth, and sixth best player than
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: lose my best Like Gonzaga's best player arguably went down,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: there's still a three seed. Kansas's best player, who might
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: be the best player in the country sometimes just decides
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: not to play. Yeah, and they're gonna be a two
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: or three seed heading into the tournament. And I think
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the argument, the pushback against what I'm saying is, yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: that's Kansas, that's Gonzag.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: But to me, that's what you need to strive to be.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: I absolutely see.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: You gotta be that prom If this is the program
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that you want to be, you've got to act like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that program and you aren't gonna and so you need
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to get to the status and have the guy that
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: can get you to the status where if you do
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: suffer some injuries, all right, maybe you're not a one seed,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: maybe you're not a three seed, but you're not out
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of the tournament. You can't blame missing the tournament on
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: injuries because I think they were healthy enough. Most good
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: teams were healthy enough even with injuries to not finish
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: sixty ninth in the country or Lower's that so to me,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I do believe he's in the crosshairs of this conversation
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: right now and for the next couple of months.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: I can and I can understand that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: And yeah, you do strive to want to be Kansas
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: and Gonzaga, but you have to look at it realistically.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Are you even close to those programs? No, that's a problem, right,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: And I do agree that is a problem, especially when
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: you have Husky fans and Husky and Husky supporters that
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: want you to be at that level and you're not
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: even coming close to achieving that level.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you're spending a lot of money in NIL.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I mean great, osa Bor was the number one NIL
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: played paid player last year. It was terrible.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: He wasn't even mediocre, Ohsible, It was less than mediocre, Ohsabor.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: But the right guy gets you there fast, Kurt Signetti.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And it's an extreme example, turned a program around in
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: one year. And that's football. That's with one hundred guys,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ten guys on your roster. College basketball,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you can turn it around with the right two recruits
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in one off season, and yet for twenty five years,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: thirty five years, Washington can't get there, and they need
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to stop messing around with as Bucky pointed out yesterday,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: trying to find the hidden gem. If you are going
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to move out on from Danny Sprinkle, and I'm not
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: saying that you should, if you are going to move
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: on from him, please go get a proven guy spend
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the money. If you're spending that much nil money on
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a bunch of players that you can't trust to stay
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: healthy or just simply can't trust, then why don't you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: pull it together to get the coach that you can
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: trust that's going to deliver for you a championship caliber
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: team because his reputation of twenty years says that he
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: does it well.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Got that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: If you end up doing that, then you need to
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: put your money where your mouth is. If you want
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to say you're going to be one of the better teams,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you expect to be one of the better teams in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the country up in that conversation, that's definitely a contender.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going to the tournament every year, then yeah, put
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: your money where your mouth is and stop trying to
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: find some hidden gem that you know nobody else has
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: looked over here look at this little thing. But that said,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure whether or not anything
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: should be done. I'm not going to pretend like I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I you know, like I understand the intricacies of what
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Danny Sprinkle is doing or not doing that are lead
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: is leading this. I'll just say that the inconsistency side
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: of things, I mean where you'll be competed and then
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: find a way to lose a game against a good team,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and then you'll get mopped up by a team that's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: middle of the pack in the Big ten as well,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and then you'll come back and fight hard and maybe
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: win a game. The inconsistency side of things is, to me,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: that is based on a mentality, and a mentality comes
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: from your coach, and so to me, it's if you
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: can't get them to at least be rowing in the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: same direction and rowing hard in the same direction, then
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that's a coaching thing. Now I'm not going to say
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that they didn't because there's something some of this does
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: fall towards those that were injured, and then all of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you don't just don't have the continuity. You
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: can never run the same starting five out there for
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: a week.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: That sucks.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, okay, well, whoever's next up,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I need you to be able to jump in and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: try to pick up where that kid's left off. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: we need to all be going in the same direction.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: And it would feel like they would take one step
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: forward and then two steps back, and one step forward
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and two steps back. It was the inconsistent. Inconsistency would
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: be my biggest concern. And if I'm somebody pulling, you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: calling the shots over there.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I get there are a lot of obstacles this year,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, two years into it, maybe does deserve
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: another chance. I'm all for it, give him another chance,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna just keep do I'm not just
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: gonna I've been here eleven years and it has been
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the same song and dance every single year, like, let's
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: keep mediocrity in place. With a chance to make the tournament,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: it's time if you do move on to make that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: bold move where but where barely making the tournament is
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the disappointing year, ye, not the year in which you
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: felt like you've achieved something.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it'd be great. It shouldn't be the norm.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: And I do think part of the problem is too,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: is that they kept they held onto Hopkins for too long, right,
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: and so then we kind of just got into this
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: not great place.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: And then finally when they got rid of him, it
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: was like, oh okay, finally.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: I mean we had two years I think where we
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: were saying that he didn't seem to be the guy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: M Well, I think the Romar is the same story. Though,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: those are the three stories that I've had. I have
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: two stories of you dou basketball that I can talk about,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and they're pretty much the same thing. I don't want
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to do the same thing with another year.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Sure, let's give them another and I would agree, I
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: think one more year now if next year, next year,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: there's no excuse because well one, if we have injuries,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: are we are we like San Francisco and built next
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: to some electrical thing.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: That's just I don't think that we are. I don't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: think it moves around from sport to sport, level to
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: level all right, we close out the week with Booze
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: News next on kJ R Young a little bit that

• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I'm Ashley and this is the Booze News out there.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: You guys, look at what we have here, snow.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: We are in a straight up snow globe. Dick Vane
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: has never felt more seen.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: I know there are a lot of people who are
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: mad at snowy. They absolutely hate the snow, but I
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: love it. It's pretty and cold and pretty. Plus when
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: it snows, everything seems quiet and wine tastes better.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think you're right, Like does certain foods taste better?
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: It just feels homeier.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: You just you head to your favorite spot and you
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of lock in and everything is a little magnified.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little quieter. You're just a little bit cozier.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: All. You get to curl up under a blanket in
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: front of the fire with all the curtains open, trash
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: television on, and a glass of wine in your hand
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: at three o'clock and that's okay, right, is that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, okay, I think that's more others.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: So maybe maybe I do that on other Fridays without snow,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: but it's more.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: Special with snow because it's pretty.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Well, this snow seems to be disappearing as soon as
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it hits the ground. I'm alright with that pretty snow.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: That's like not a hazard.
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: That's just right here though, like once you leave here.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's sticking on the roads very much,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: like except near where Bucky lives and out there, but
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: it's accumulating on the surfaces.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I don't envy Bucky.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Oh it's great. Yeah, you're gonna be precipitous. Then let's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: go ahead and have it be snowy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because then it's more fun.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I will say this though, it does not bode well
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: for Palmer the Great Softball Tournament and Tacoma this weekend.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: And I would love to say that I would be
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: sad if the tournament got canceled, but I would be lying.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: It won't be sad.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I played one game in the snow. Baseball game in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the snow. Do you play baseball in the snow?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Yep? I'm at Elsie State.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: We one time had to get up at five am
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: and go put the tarp on the field, the black
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: side up to melt the snow so that we could
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: play the game later. Oh it worked out great, except
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: for the guy that got a spiral fracture from his
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: foot sticking into the frozen tundra.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: That's fun rible.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Well, And I would love to say I am looking
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: forward to another weekend in the rain, because it would
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: be rain most likely after later today, after a five
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: thirty am wake up on a Saturday and an hour
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: and a half drive.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: But again, I would be livee.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, Palmer, They're great.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: So will I be upset if the tournament is still on?
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: No?
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: But will I be excited if it's canceled.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Hell, yes, let's have a party.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the cancel ords.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Thank you, you and me both.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just trying to put myself in your shoes
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: tomorrow morning.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah at five thirty, yes, yeah, yeah, to drive all
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: the way to Tacoma, WO and then be there till
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: three fifteen and then.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Drive all the way home.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: But luckily it's dirt field, so cancelation chances oh pretty high.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: Okay, knock on wood, I'm not trying.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: To jinx it kay weather Gods, the WBC drama. This
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: has been real, from handshake Gate to tiebreaker Gate. You know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: I will say things don't actually just always sound great
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: when you add gate at the end of it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: It doesn't work very often.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: But there have been a lot of eyes on Team USA.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: The good news is that Mark Deurosa should now know
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: the rules moving forward, win and stay in, Lose and
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: you're out. But just in case, Bucky, can we shoot
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: him a text to make sure that he does actually
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: know the USA win all these games?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Angry if you sent him a text, by the way,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and moving forward, you gotta win, gotta win or you're out.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Tiebreaker is yeah, the tie breakers just win. That's it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I might do that. I might do that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You'll never have them.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: As against uh. The Kraken are slumping again. Allow me
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: to read you some numbers. Two two one two two
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: two one one one two two one two six one
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: four four one four two one four one one four
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: one one two two four.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: That is the cracking season in a nutshell.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: That means they started out with a two game win.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Streak, then it was a two game streak.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Then they went one win two losses, two wins, two losses,
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: one win, one loss, and so on and so forth.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: They're currently just outside the second wild card spot. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: here is what needs to happen for the remainder of
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: the season. Four three one one three one three one
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: or something along those lines. That's the more realistic approach,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: the easier answer. Seventeen, that's what needs to happen. Okay,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: So obviously the big question is, well, how do we
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: get to seventeen? It's time for a little inspiration. Okay,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: So kracking, if you're listening, you guys are hockey players.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Play hockey, play it better than you did in the
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: two two two one two one six four one two
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: four one one two and four. Oh and can we
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: figure out how to get McMahon on the ice? Yeah,
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: there we go, winning will commence.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a winning formula, yes, right there.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: And lastly, thirteen days till opening day, cheers.
• 36:02
