  Speaker 2: in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RM,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: even though it's not even its name.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a big misconception for now nine years.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nicknames just sometimes you get them and they stick.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Jacobson Barnyard of Fun. That's what it's

• 1:40

• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and Ashley Ryan as well. We've got four hours planning
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: for you today, all sorts of juicy topics to discuss,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and certainly we'll try to cover them all, cover them, surely,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: all by ten o'clock here this morning, including a brand
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: new segment that I were trying out today and also
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: an annual segment that returns to our show here today.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And with that being said, first.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And foremost, just wanted to make sure this is a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: little check everybody survived the windstorm last night. Fifty mile
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: per hour winds last night. They seemed to touch us
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: all wherever you were in the Pacific Northwest.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It was windy.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It was windy. It was windy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: We'll say that I did think I was dying at
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: about midnight. Oh well wow, well it's because I have
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: my seapap on and then the power went out, so
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: it basically kind of plugs your nose and shoots the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: air up there. When it's working, power goes out, it
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: just plugs your nose. So you wake up to it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Oh oh okay, and it's extra dark in the room,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and you know, no alarm clock or any of that
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: stuff is shining on the ceiling. So I'm like, oh boy,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: here we go. So yeah, get up and go out
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in the wind and the rain and set the generator up.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we're good, We're good. Good.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I did read last night that there was already up
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: on Alpantal, which is only twenty miles away the summit
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: up there where there's people ski there was one hundred
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and thirty four mile our winds.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Oh man, what yeah, that's madness.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, that's that's only twenty miles away.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And some of it seems like it got down to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: my house. Maybe that gust I got the back end
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: of that thing, because the shrapnel getting out of my driveway.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Was it was a lot. It was a lot.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Head you out and move about four or five different
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: tree branches, well just little ones.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I mean it was windy all like evening long, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: yet you know that it's kind of strange how mother
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: nature works. All of a sudden, you just I heard
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: like this train sound, and I'm like, what on earth
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is that? You're like, that is the one? Yeah, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: mean it just decided. I mean, it was windy all
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: night and then all of a sudden, it just decides, No, no,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: we're really gonna get windy. Now was windy, idiot, Now
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we're gonna shoot some stuff. Yeah, so you better put
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you better put on some protective eyes where if you're
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: standing within range, that's here it comes.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And then I don't know how much longer that it lasted.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: It was one of those evenings. I'm like, here's an idea.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Why don't we go to bed a little early tonight. Yeah,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know, because we're not going to be affected if
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: as much. If we've got everything done and we get
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to bed and then we just let it happen. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: our power didn't go out. I don't know why, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it was when I first moved to Woodenville, it felt
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like it went out every fifteen minutes, like the neighbor
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: could fart.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna go outside for a quick fart, honey,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and the power would go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Dan has been known to do that Woodenville all across
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the Puget Sound, but it didn't go out.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But obviously we didn't have quite the win that you did. Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, woke up this morning to you know, emails from
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Snowkaomia Valley School District that they're going to be the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: powers out in all the schools, so they're going to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: be working on a two hour power delay, which obviously
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: something big had to go down somewhere big and hit
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a transformer station or something, because we tip don't lose
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: power unless something comes down on my property and knocks
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the power that's overhead, the stuff that's underground. We're kind
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: of in the old school, one of the first ones
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: from the transform from the transfer station to our house.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: But yeah, something big must have happened last night about
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: midnight and it's it's still ongoing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So you know, you got win when your school gets
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: winded out.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you don't want that. No, Actually, I'm sure
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: my son does. Love he's like cried on.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: We were at Palmer the Great's fifth grade concert. They
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: were singing and it was an outdoor it was not outdoors,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: it's indoors, but the power started flickering during the concert
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: and they're like, okay, we're just gonna speed this up,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: make sure we get this done before the power goes out.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Did you say with ukuleles?
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a ukulele performance Inane?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Was it an electric ukulele or was it acoustic because
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the ukulele can keep playing if it's ACOUSTI it's acoustic.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: And they all each class got a song with the ukulele.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Each song was about twenty seconds, okay. Was we were
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: in and out of the concert in twenty minutes?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Wind affected kids concert? It was.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bear's got his second or first grade? First grade?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I guess I should know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I don't look it up. Second grade.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I am not sure what grade your child.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure either. But he's got his concert tonight too. Ohez. Well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hopefully the power gets back on. Yeah, that's concert, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: mean postent.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah next week.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: If they don't have it, there might not be another
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: grade school music bad.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Music concert if we keep this one scheduled.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there won there won't be another one ever.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: If you don't have this one.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Wait till you get to fourth grade. When they play
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the recorder.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: The ukulele is really advanced. I mean, who's playing the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: ukulele at your kid's school?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: We were, They all were. They all got it in
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: music class.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: So every class had like they had their turn on
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: their uka song and they all had a ukulele. Then
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: they'd transfer the ukulele over to the next class and
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: they all played one song.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Although I see a lot of fingers moving.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Was it somewhere over the rainbow?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: No, they did not play that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Actually, that is great with a ukulele.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It is great.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It really is, and it's usually the only one that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: comes to mind. But Principal don Hoe up there at
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Palmer's School teaching everybody this is required learning.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: I was shocked, and she's like, yeah, no, we we
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: are playing the ukulele. I looked at her, I said,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: you're learning the ukulelean music.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: She's like, yeah, Mom.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Somebody in the school system thought this is a skill
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that will come in handy a lot yep in the future,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: learning the ukulele.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Ah, that's great, all right.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Well hopefully I mean I get everybody's probably got their
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: own wind storm story here this morning, but hopefully everybody's safe.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I know, some power outages did occur. I don't know
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: why they don't occur where I live anymore. I think,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, do they just do you think maybe they
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: just really like Scotch taped it really well the last time,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: taped it all, I mean real tight.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you gotta really statch that on there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Because the power didn't go out anymore, used to go out,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you know, if you've sneezed now, didn't go out anymore.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's good? Yea, the super Farer didn't just move.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Could have been super far to just packed up his
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: bags and his ukulele and got the hell out of town.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Uh well, if if power's going out in a lot
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in a new city somewhere in America and they can't
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: figure out why, you better check to see if Dan move,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that''s fault.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's get into this sports world, because the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: crosswinds of the National Football League have been blowing heavily.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Uh in Las Vegas, where the Raiders yesterday announced.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You know what, we tried to trade Max Crosby.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We did trade Max Crosby, and now we're done trying
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to trade Max Crosby. Even Max Crosby himself has said that,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you know what, forget that, I don't want to play
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with the Raiders anymore.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Whatever that experience was, to be traded.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: To Baltimore and then for it not to go through,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I think I missed a step to be traded to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Baltimore and then to have video evidence of how much
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: he partied and celebrated leaving the Las Vegas Raiders and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: then found out that it wasn't true. Whatever that experience
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: was for Max Crosby, he apparently has rethought his future
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: with the Las Vegas Raiders, and so Crosby made it
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: clear yesterday, as far as I'm concerned, I'm a Raider.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: The Raiders have said that we might not no longer
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: be interested in trading him, even though every insider in
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the National Football League said that the Raiders' phones were
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: ringing off the hook as NFL teams, and we don't
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: know which ones. I kind of think the Seahawks would
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: have checked in on him. We're calling the Raiders all.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Day long to try to get back in on this,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: This is a game of diversion, There's no doubt about it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But Max Crosby is available. But right now, the Raiders
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: are saying that we're not looking to make a move
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: now we have reconsidered Max Crosby's future with us.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Now interesting, I mean that they went out and made
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: a bunch of moves after they thought it was going through,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: right after it was agreed upon for those few days,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: spent what three hundred million plus in free agency, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: maybe they're thinking themselves like, well, now if we enter,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you know, throw him back into the fold. We might
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: have a kind of a nasty defense. I don't know
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: for I don't think they've addressed all of the issues,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: and I think that as far as the rebuild goes,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: they were probably looking forward to the couple first round
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: picks that they were going to get for him. But
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, to some degree, I think they're doing what
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: they're They're playing their cards the way they need to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: play their cards. Or fine, well we can keep him.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: We had enough cap space somehow that yeah, we can
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: do that, and you act like you're accepting it back
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: with open arms, so that if it does work out
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: that he's on your squad, you're like, hey, glad to
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: have you back. You know, we thought that we were
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: going to this direction. Now we're going a different direction.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And if anything, it just keeps his price up, because
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think one thing for sure. I don't see
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: them turning around and being like, well, we just want
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: to get rid of him. You know, he is the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: best player on their team after all, So I think
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: that they're kind of like, well, we're gonna We're gonna
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: at least save face and look like we're fine with
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you coming back. If that's the way that it ends up,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: and you play the twenty twenty sixth season with him
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: on your roster, and if if not, then maybe another
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: team still jumps up there and is interested in giving
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: you that same type of price that you were going
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to get from the Ravens.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I wonder too, if it's yeah, if it's more, well,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: we are happy to have him back. We love having
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: him back, because they're now concerned that no other team
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: wants to come forward with another two first round.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Draft pick off.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: So if they say like, well, we're great and he's
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: healthy and he's going to play and he's going to
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: be a huge part of our team, then other teams
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: are like, well, maybe it really was just Baltimore getting
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: cold feet and not wanting to give up their draft
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: picks and maybe he really would be worth it if
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: we gave up two draft picks, so we should really
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: consider this.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's that absolutely the story. I think
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that is. I think that there's a.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: The NFL is doubting that Baltimore really renegged because of
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: a medical report. Now he's had a medical history, so
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: there's no way to prove that that's the reason that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the Ravens knicks the trade. So there's no way that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the NFL is going to do anything. They're not going
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to force the trade.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They're not going to.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Penalize the Baltimore Ravens for backing out of it because
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: he does have a medical history. But I think that's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: what the Raiders are counting on, that is that the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: NFL has figured out the Ravens just saw a better
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: way toward a pass rusher. Even though Eric DaCosta, the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: general manager, said yesterday, and take this for what it's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: worth that no, we wanted Crosby and hendrickson. O.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: No, is that him covering his ass, doesn't Yeah, that's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: what I think.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just covering his ass, him feeling guilty that yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you caught me, and now I've got to come up
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: with a story that because I don't want you to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: think I'm a liar, even though I am one.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, so I mean draw your own conclusions.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: We don't know anything, but certainly, you know, the Raiders
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: had a really good tampering period. Sound funny. Our tampering
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: period was awesome. We had the best tampering period. We
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: crushed our tap. I mean we had a bad football team,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but oh, our tampering period.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Man on fire Chef's kiss there.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: But they had such a good experience.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And I know that there were a lot of experts
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: out there that were like, everybody got overpaid, and yet no,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the salary cap up. And when a salary cap goes up,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, everybody's salary goes up in that
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: free agent market. And so the Raiders could have a
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: day in which they signed eight guys in the first
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: day and still have enough cap space to take back
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Max Crosby's thirty million dollars salary, plus still have cap
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: space to work the rest of the off season. Yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they could very well in a new I mean it's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: not a new regime, but it's a new head coach.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I mean Clint Kubiak might say, hey, do I get
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: something to say about Max Crosby. I mean, I realized that,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever happened in the previous regime, that you
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: might have burned a bridge with him. But I'd like
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to build that bridge back. I mean, I'm a I'm
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: here to win, and I could really use a Max
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Crosby type. So who knows what's happening behind the scenes,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: But for Max Crosby to have yielded his relationship with
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the Raiders so much that he could go through this
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: experience and announce yesterday, as far as I'm concerned, I'm
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a Raider.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Something's changed.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Something has changed with Max Crosby's identity with the Las
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I feel like he was I know
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: that that when the videos and stuff came out about
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: him celebrating it was right on the heels of the trade.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I think that it was also his birthday or someone closed.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I think it was his birthday that he was celebrating. Also,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: like where they and the Ravens understood, hey, you already
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: had plans to go ahead and have your little sore
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and and whatnot. So I don't know for sure if
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the Raiders took that as him celebrating I'm out of here.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Thank God, I don't have to be a Raider anymore.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And so the repairing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Of the whole thing.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a dude that's went out and played
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like his hair's on fire for a bad team, for
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: a bad organization that just has been kind of listless
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: for quite some time. And I would imagine that they
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: were not necessarily wanting him to go, but thinking to themselves,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: we got the first overall pick, if we can get
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: another one in the middle of the first round this
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: year and another one next year for a guy that
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you know for sure the way in which he plays,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: he's not going to be the same dude four years
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: from now.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So I mean it's like.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Are you a year or two years or maybe even
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: three years of Max Crosby's prime. Are you that far
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: away from being a contender in a division that's kind
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: of stacked and you're you're most certainly the fourth place
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: team in the entire division.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: He has a three year deal, so if you're bringing
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: them back, you're planning on winning in the span of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the next three years. Yeah, and they should be. Well,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: every team in the National Football League should be prepared.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I mean The Patriots showed you you can turn it
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: around in one season. They went from four wins to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you know, AFC champions. Like you, this is not baseball.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: In the NFL, you better have no more than a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: two year plan. I don't care how bad you are today,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: you better not have any more than a two year
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: plan to win. And I'm not talking about become a
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: playoff team. I'm talking about two year plan to win
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the whole damn thing. If not, you're cheating yourself and
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: your fan base. Well, there's not a lot of teams
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: that figure out how to get it done that quite
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that you know. Well, I think also you have to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: look at the situation you're in, right. We always talk
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: about the winning the division as your first goal, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: so where are you at right? It's like one thing
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: if you're looking at the Chiefs and you're like, well,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: maybe they got to fall off at some point over
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the last seven, eight nine years that they've been so
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: dominant in the division, and so you're thinking, Okay, maybe
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: they've come back down to earth a little bit. But
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: now that you know, the Broncos are kind of on
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the rise a little bit, The Chargers are on the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: rise a little bit, are you a Max Crosby away
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: from a few other moves turn turning into where you
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: can actually take that division from some of those other teams.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: A lot is yet to be seen. I mean, three
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: hundred million bucks is going to go a long ways.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And if you add just say that, it's almost like
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: you added Max Crosby back, because you'd figured when they
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: make it, all those free agent moves are tamper moves
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: that they were thinking he was on the way out.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, it's like they kind of
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: got him back in free agency in a way. So
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that the most Raider fans right now are
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: feeling like, boy, we're a whole hell of a lot
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: better than we were a week ago.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Most certainly.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I should just clarify.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: He was celebrating six years of sobriety, so it was
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: that's what the party was for.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Was his. But he was drinking and doing drugs.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: No, I think he was just smoking a cigarette.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Everybody else was drinking. He wasn't drink.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: He wasn't drinking.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he looked drunk.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: No, I don't. Yeah, he's just just hanging out celebrating, Okay.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: All right, well, the Seahawks, whodos if there's any level
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: of interest there.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, we can speculate. It's fun to speculate.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Right now, Max Crosby has gone from I'll never play
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: from the Raiders again to I'm a Raider in about
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: three four months at time. All right, let's find out
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: what's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: What's on what's on tep?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: All right, the NFL New Year is underway. It began
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: yesterday at one o'clock. Greg Bell will be with us
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: at seven o five to celebrate that. The Hawks have
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: been quiet since their re signings of Josh job and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Rashid Shaheed, and I say quiet, but they did do
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: a few things, yess, and I think some clever things.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: They brought back their long snapper, Christol Jake Bobo is back,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: so they worked out a deal with him, and Josh
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Jones as a free agent, who Hugh Millen has said
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: might be the best backup offensive lineman in Seahawks history,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: they brought him back as well.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: So Josh Jones returning to the Seahawks.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And I'd call that a productive day for the Seahawks,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: even though they didn't do anything big and splashy college basketball.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: U dub wins their first game of the Big Ten Tournament.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: The Huskies took out the Trojans eighty three to seventy nine,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: so they keep their hopes alive of making the NCAA Tournament. They'll,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of course, have to win the Big Ten Tournament in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: order to do that, and there is a long way
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to go and it will next stop at Wisconsin. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: mean it's in Chicago, but they'll face Wisconsin today at
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: eleven thirty. ASU was humiliated out of the Big Twelve
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Tournament yesterday and Bobby Hurley his last game as head
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: coach unfortunately tasted like that. Hurley was fired after the
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: game and that was sort of expected.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: We are three days.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Away from Selection Sunday, and one thing that we do
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: prior to Selection Sunday every year is check in with
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: our friend Matt Santangelo as we'll talk about the Zags
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: their outlook for this year as they try to win
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that elusive national championship. He joins us every year at
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: this time, and today is the day nine o'clock. He'll
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: join us on the radio program Crack an Avalanche tonight
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: at seven o'clock.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: No definitive word as to whether or not.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon is going to play in this game, but
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: al Kiniski told us yesterday that he hopes that he
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: will and thinks that he should. But we shall see,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: as we are still awaiting the newcomers'.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Debut in a crack and uniform.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And in the WBC, Italy got it done nine to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: one over Mexico yesterday, and so it's Italy advancing and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: allowing the US to advance the tournament aspect. The single
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: elimination tournament aspect now begins now that pool play is over,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and we do know that the US will be playing
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Friday against Canada and Josh Naylor at five o'clock. We
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: also know that Italy will be playing noon against Puerto Rico.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Venezuela and Japan will meet Saturday as well, and as
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico and Italy play Saturday at noon, Venezuela Japan
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: six pm at noon, and then Korea and the Dominican.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Republic Friday at three thirty.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So those are the eight teams that advance in the WBC,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: which we are going to talk about shortly. We will
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: also talk to Mariners Baseball today as the countdown is
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: officially on to opening day and Cole Young, with every
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: day that passes, is strengthening his position as the starting
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: second basement for this team, which we will discuss later
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: on in the show. But coming up next, the WBC
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: team USA advances Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Italy getting the job done last night over Mexico. Nine
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to one was the final score. Certainly, some not just
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: scoreboard watching, some game watching. Mark de Rosa had to
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: be the most uncomfortable person in America as four o'clock
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: ran rolled around yesterday and the game started rather low scoring,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: which was against what the USA needed last night, but
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Italy and Vinnie Pasquentino erupted on Mexico pitching and ended
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: up winning easily nine to one. All you needed was
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Italy to win the game for the US to advance.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: But once they got to the sixth run mark or
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the five run mark, you knew that it was over
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: last night in terms of US and their qualification. You
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: knew that they were in at that point. So I
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what yesterday was like for Mark de Rosa.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think very comfortable.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: But he can relax now, yeah, I wasn't real comfortable
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: for him, and just for the rest of the guys.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: They have been knocked out in pool play would have
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: been not very good considering how good that team is
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and all of the things that led up to being
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: right there on the bubble. I mean, I was, I
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: was with it. I took the kids to the library
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: yesterday about four o'clock, so I was they were looking
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: for books, and I'm kind of kept checking my phone
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: and say one zero zero zero, there's one zero.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, we need some more runs. What's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: going on here?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: And then obviously Passquatch ended up what dropping three bombs,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: so he pretty much said I got this US at
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So and he actually did say it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: He got in his postgame press conference and said, your
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: welcome team USA. I know it sounded crazy when I
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: said that yesterday, but I don't think those guys. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: think they put US across the chest first, even though
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: they're playing for Italy, and I don't know if they
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: felt all that great about possibly eliminating the US from
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the tournament and for it to come up and pass.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: When Tino's he wasn't even asked about it. He looked
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: into the camera. You know he's got Bobby with his
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: teammate with the Royals, and he goes, we did that
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: for you us.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You know, we got you, we got you, we got
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it done for you. Now is that tongue in cheek?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Is that him like rubbing it in like if it
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't for.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Us, you wouldn't be advancing or was there an element
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: of well, we didn't mean to knock the US out
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of the tournament because we're kind of we are Americans,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: We're not Italians. We were kind of rooting for them
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: if it's not going to be us. So he did
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: address it afterwards after hitting his three home runs yesterday.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Would I would think that they would love nothing more
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: than to win, right, I mean their competitors and for
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: them to show up. I told you how I talked
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: to Miles and and we we mentioned it with Canzone
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: when we were down there for spring training, the idea
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: of you know, what's it going to be like? And
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I think I had talked to Canzone in
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse and he was like, it's not like we're
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: thinking we're going to go out there and win the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: whole thing, but it would be fun to you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: shake things up a little bit. When you all of
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: a sudden knock them off, it's got to feel good
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: at the same time. Yeah, that's I guarantee you most
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: of them are like, well, if we aren't going to
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: win it, we want us to win it. And if
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: we all of a sudden, are the ones that basically
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: put them on the bubble and then don't carry up,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you know, follow through the next day against Mexico and
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: allow it to be kind of because of us that
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: they're eliminated. Yeah, I would imagine there's part of that
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: that would not sit super well with them. And so yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I mean they knew it most certainly after all of
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the hoop lov of after Mark de Rosa's misstep and
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: saying basically just admitting that he didn't know what the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: rules were. Everybody kind of knew what the rules were
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: going into that game. And Italy's like, boy, we could
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: be heroes for Team USA even though we weren't put
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: on Team.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: USA, right, right, and we have another chance to beat
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: them if we Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: And at this point I think it's just like, oh, hey, yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: we're the hot team in the tournament.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Right now, let's maybe we can win the whole thing.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's single elimination. Anything can happen in baseball,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and they're certainly seeing the ball well right now, there's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: no question about it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and they have some guys that can throw.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not again, it's not a bunch of
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: dudes that are you know, flinging pizzas you know in
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Italy before they showed up to the WBC. I mean,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: there's some legit big league dudes that I mean, Aaron
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Nola going out there yesterday. When I found out that
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: he was throwing, I'm like, there's a good chance that
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: they hold Mexico down, which was not necessarily the way
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: that I was.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: It is a good team, I mean that is, it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: not everybody's talking like Buster Douglas actually shouldn't say everybody.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I saw Softy's tweet about that, is this Buster Douglas
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: over Mike Tyson is like, no, this is a good
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: team and it's baseball and anything can happen in one game.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Which was sort of my point yesterday is I mean,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: this really blows up in Baseball's face if the US
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't make it into the eight team tournament by allowing
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: teams to fatten up that wouldn't otherwise have a chance
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: against the US. Your ratings go down the tank without team.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like some pro, overly aggressive pro US statement
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: that I was making yesterday. It was pro tournament, it
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: was pro baseball, it was pro marketing. The last thing
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I wanted was to get done with the WBC after
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: putting spring training on hold, having sixteen Mariners exposed to
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: WBC training versus Mariners training, and then the US doesn't
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: get there, and as soon as the WBC is over with,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I got to hear from football people about how crappy
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the WBC rankings, ratings were on television. You know that
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to me is what the statement was that I was
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: making yesterday, is that Major League Baseball sort of went
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: out of its way to beef up other teams. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: by the way, Ashley, yeah, the rule is that, yes,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: if a grandfather, but the way I read it, the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: rule is if you can get a passport to Italy,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you can be on their team. That's part of the rules.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You don't have to have a grandfather or a father anything.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: If you can, if you can get a passport to Italy,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you can.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Be on the team, but you have to to get
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: a passport in Italy. You'd have to show some proof
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: of citizenship, just like to have a passport in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: United States.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you can get a passport to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Italy from what I understand, Oh I don't, no, No,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you have to get an Italian passage.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: It has to be an Italian passport.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, anyway, whatever, I mean, the Italian government can
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: rubber stamp that. Whether your fathers are Ugandan or not.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I mean there are ways around it. I mean none
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: of them have their parents from Italy. So they beefed
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: up all of these other teams and put the US
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: in a sport where you can easily be upset on
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: any given day against any opponent that features professional baseball players.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the US loses one game and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: might not make the tournament. That would have been disastrous
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: for this event. There's an absolute disaster most certainly not
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: worth doing to spring training what you did the spring
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: training frankly, yeah, and I'm not saying that is overly
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: aggressive pro American. I'm talking about what the event is
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: scheduled to do, which is build the game globally, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you don't get that done.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: If Team USA is not.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: In your final eight, yeah, well yeah, if USA gets
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: knocked out, it most certainly hurts the overall spectator part
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: of the thing. To me, there's a I mean, the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the idea of you're going to have a couple teams
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: in each group that are not I mean, Brazil wasn't
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: really all that competitive, and yet they tried, right, I mean,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: they're throwing seventeen year old kids out there that it's
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: cool to see, like it's a cool story, and yet
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: you're like, they don't have enough firepower to go against
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: to go out there and knock off some of these
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: teams that you know, you talk about Italy who's playing hot,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: and they have a lot of big league guys, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: they're not the household names. I mean, they're the Dom
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: can Zones and and guys like that who might burst
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: on the scene. But they're not Aaron Judges, they're not
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Cal Rowling's, they're not the star studded lineup, and so
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: you just think, Okay, over the course of four days,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: you gotta be able to figure out a way to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: be the top one or two teams. And yet they
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: were on the outside looking in with needing some help
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: from Italy at that point, or obviously Mexico is the
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: way in which it worked out, so it kind of
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: it ends up working out in a way where you
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: don't have to go through the hardship that would be
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: the entire WBC. The experiment falls flat on its face
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: if US isn't in there. But like you said, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have the haters. They're going to be like,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: this is just dumb. This is I mean, I don't
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: think it is. Even if US didn't get in there,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I still would have been interested, but I wouldn't have
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: been as interested. I would have been disappointed for sure.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: But you're a diehard baseball fan.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: So if you have the average fan, like, as soon
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: as the US gets a lot, I'm.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Not watching this. Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: mean that was going to happen, yeah for sure.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: And yeah, you know they since they got in you
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: think about it now, you think about the teams that
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: are in there, and it is it's going to be
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: kind of star studded all the way through. I mean,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to know many of the Korean players,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: per se. I don't know a lot of the Japanese players,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: But I know.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: You'll know the Kims and you'll know Jung Huli. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: actually there's only one Kim playing. Yeah, the other one's hurt. Yeah.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I won't know a ton I mean, but then again,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: it's just I won't know all the Canadian players either,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: and yet there's a lot more of them than there
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: are Brazilians or the Panamanium guys. And so to me,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I think the tournament has been a success so far.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Before we were on the cusp of something that was
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: would have been catastrophic to the viewership and the overall
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: outlook of the WBC.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Something else happened in the WBC yesterday and the Cal
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Randy story, which we have to discuss next Sports Radio
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM handshake gate, whether or not
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Cal left Randy hanging, if that was appropriate, inappropriate for
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: teammates in the WBC, Well, I think the conversation kind
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of switched to shame on Randy a little bit yesterday,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: for you know, when it became pretty evident that Cal
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: had told him, Hey, we're not gonna shake hands. I'm
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: warning you in advance, and then he did it anyway,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and then Cal kind of took the high road Yester
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: yesterday with his comments in the last couple of days,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: and Randy won't address it. I think the sort of
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the pendulum swung a little bit toward cal But I
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: will say a statement was made yesterday in the WBC
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: competition as the Dominican and Venezuela game. At the beginning
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: of the game, before the first pitch was thrown, William
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Contreras of Venezuela and Fernando Tatist Junior hugged. Yeah, they
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: catcher and lead off hit or both wrapped their arms
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: around each other and hugged to start the competition. Certainly
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: a shot across the bow at the way the Americans
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: have decided we're all about Team USA and we're not
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: out here to shake hands and be buddies.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Well, and to each zone.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, as far as I'm concerned, when you're playing
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: for your go ahead and play it the however you
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: want to play it. That's one of the things about
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: the WBC that is blatant to me is I mean
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: we saw early I mean his first game Dominican against somebody,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: and they're winning twelve to one, and they at a
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: home run, and you would have thought that they just
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: hit the game winner in the seventh game of the
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: World Series. I mean, these guys are coming thirty feet
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: out onto the field, yeah, you know, hooping and holler,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: and it's like, that's just not the way that I
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: was taught how to play the game. And yet I
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: know that this is an old guy yelling at the clouds,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: fuddy duddy. I've tried to come around, and I have
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: come around to some degree on well, best celebrate, Well,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: go ahead, have your fun.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like I didn't have any fun. I had
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: tons of fun. I just also had a respect for
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: my opponent that I don't know for sure if that's
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the same way anymore. And I don't know if it's
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: a disrespect, it's just a I'm having fun. If you
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: don't like it, don't let me hit a homer, right,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: And so I've tried to come around, and there still
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: is a line where I'm like, that's over the top.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: I don't really care for Randy's stopping at third base
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: and doing a jump shot, you know, him and Negron
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: doing a you know, matching jump shots at third base,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Like just jog? Will you just jog around the basis.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: You can still be happy. You don't have to have
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: a choreographed thing. To me, it seems fake.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And that versus Fernando Tattiste Junior's home run the other
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: day where he rounded third and the entire team is
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: out and.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: He was I don't even understand. I was thinking of
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: you as I'm watching that.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it, and yet it's it's the way
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: that it is. I told you when I played in
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Dominican that David Ortiz hit a bomb, and it was
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: a bomb. I mean it was five hundred feet straight
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: away right field, and he hits it, and I watched
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: his things sail over the fence and then over a
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: giant tree that was fifty feet behind the fence, and
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I turn around and I'm expecting to see him round
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: in first bace. He's still in the batter's box, taking
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: his batting cloves off like he just sat there, took
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: both of them off, like finger by finger, and put
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: him in his back pocket and then jog around the
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: basis and nobody was even thinking about throwing at him.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about, like, ah, I would closeline you if
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: we weren't in Dominican. But I'm like when we're here,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: you play it the way you want. WBC is you
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: get to play whatever rules you want. I think that's fair,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: and you go ahead and do what you want. So
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: if you want to hug, you want to make out
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: at home plate because you're really good friends, go ahead
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: and do it. On the flip side, if Cal wants
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: to be like, no, we ain't doing that, and he
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: tells you ahead of time because he knows you're gonna
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: want to do it, I think that and you still do,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: then do you take the embarrassment that comes with it
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: you were told don't.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: If right now we were on camera and I said, hey,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: give me high five, and you said, don't ask me
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: to give you high five again, and I do it again, well,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: then I add I set myself up to be embarrassed
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: on camera. So to me, it is what it is.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, part of me just wishes Cal would have
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: done it. So you're not dealing with this because it's
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: more than it should be. The whole story is more
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: than it should be. On the flip side of it,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to fault somebody if they want to
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: be However, you want to do it, like, if you
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: want to be jump around and celebrate every single little thing,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you can go ahead and do that. If you want
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: to be more serious, more business like, if you will,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: then why is that not?
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Okay? I hear you. I think that's fair.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do think, especially if rand if he was
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: actually told ahead of time, don't do it, and then
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: he did it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: That's all on Randy. But I do wish Cal would
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: have just given him a little like.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It would have saved a lot, would have saved a lot.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little thing, all right.
