  Speaker 4: the off side that you know. I know, I had
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a buddy that was there last year that ended up
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: kind of renting a room. They stayed there the whole day.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Just not a room at the hotel, like a room
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: right off of the sportsbook.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You can do that. Yeah, they can get all drunk
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and then go gamble and more drunk and more gambling
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and more basketball.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah sounded fun. Yeah I'm going to join in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what kind of a bracket madness person are
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you out there? Because I'm usually an upset person. I
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: just I want to find the upsets, and what I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: end up doing is picking too many and it kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of derails any chance I might have had to win
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the office bull. Now that's usually what I am. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: have been preaching that it is a pretty chalky tournament.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there'll be some a couple of four, like
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a four that gets into the final four or three.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not discounting that, but I'm going to pick a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: lot fewer up sets. It just feels like there are
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the haves and have nots and this year's NCAA tournament
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: field and so I'm gonna get a little chalkier than
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: what I normally do. But one thing that I did
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: yesterday on our air, which I never recommend, I became
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: change your bracket guy on a Wednesday. I mean usually
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it's I will fill it out on Sunday and then
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that's it, Like when it comes out on selection Sunday.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I filled the damn thing out and I'm like, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: gonna live with that. I don't want to be the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: person that had the test changes it from B to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: C and it ends up being B.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they say that, yes, yeah, so.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And yet I hadn't looked at my brackets until we
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: did our green jacket draft yesterday, and I'm like, I
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: don't like this.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: So I was crap changed like.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Four major things on my bracket on a wind after
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: just keeping it cold all week long. I changed something
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: on my bracket on a Wednesday morning. Nothing that I
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: would recommend by the way.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, how are you feeling about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this right now?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, Surprisingly you're not second guessing your second guessing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: No I'm not. I'm not triple guessing my second guess.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Double stamp that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I feel good about the changes. I like the changes.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I just didn't feel comfortable not
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: picking as many upsets. But yeah, I took I took
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: a team out of the final four that I had
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in the final four. That's insane, that is that nuts. Yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I took Florida out. I put Houston there. I put
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Florida losing to Vanderbilt. I mean, they just got smashed
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: by them a couple of days ago, and and so
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: if they're in the same region, same bracket, and they're
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: gonna meet up again, I don't know, maybe Vanderbilt is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: just a bad matchup for Florida. So I changed that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I also changed to BYU. I had them going far
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and then I kind of chickened out out on Sunday
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and it didn't have to go as far as I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: wanted to take them. And then yesterday I just decided,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like you know what my original gut was that b
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: YU if they get a good draw, could go as
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: far as the Elite eight. So I put him in
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the Elite eight. Yesterday scratched off Perdue, put BYU in
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the Elite eight. That's how That's how I managed things yesterday.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And I don't recommend it because I'm not that kind
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of bloke. But yesterday, that's that's what I turned in.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: That's the type of NCAA, A madness person I became.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm not really a certain type.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Oh you're chalky wife.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I have BYU at the Elite eight also, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I've had that the whole time, and yet I've thought
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: about changing it because I saw Purdue play and I'm like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: how do I have how do I have Purdue getting
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: knocked out by BYU? And like, I don't know, Just
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you gotta have some You got to have some upsets somewhere.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: There's never been a time that all of the chalk
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: goes through. And so I mean, I have Michigan State
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: beating Yukon. I also have Houston. I have Houston beaten Florida.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't think of I don't I when you just
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: were saying Florida lost to Vanderbilt. I didn't know that,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: so then I was thinking, oh boy, maybe I should
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: do it, but I'm not going to. I still have
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Florida beating them in the Sweet sixteen and then losing
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: to Houston though, and so yeah, I mean mine's fairly jockey.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: You're right, but it's I have a couple upsets in there.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I'm just more on the side of I don't do
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: as many upsets because like I have High Point beating
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin and it's like, really, that's probably not gonna happen,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: but it's only gonna cost me one because I think
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Arkansas probably beats whether it's High Point or Wisconsin in
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: the next round. So that's like that's where my way
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: of when I do pick an upset, it's because it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to get one point out of that team.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: With the exception of BYU here that would get me
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: some big points if they can get to the Elite eight.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Well, most of the time I'll do that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: My point is like, there are like type A personality
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and you hear about that in a type B personality, Well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: we all have an individual personality when we fill out
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: our brackets every year, and I'm too many upsets. Guy,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that's usually who I am, And now all of a sudden,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm these two people that I don't even recognize when
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I look in the mirror and you are Chalky Chalkers,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you are Chalky white over there, and now you're telling
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: me all the upsets that you're picking over there. Well,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I mean that's madness. It is madness, Yeah, flipping what
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: is happening?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: But it's still not because I still have three number
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: ones and a number two in the final four. So
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: when it comes down to it's like, that's that's.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Stay true to yourself.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the way in which I kind of
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: do my practice, Like I pick upsets, but I don't
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: think any of these upsets are going to go very
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: very far. Like this BYU and number six going to
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the late elite eight is just so uncomfortable to me.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: That's the one that I have had since the beginning,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: and I've wanted to change it so many times, Like
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: they could get knocked off by gun Zaga and then
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: most certainly could get knocked off by Purdue, and I
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: have them winning both those games. I don't feel comfortable
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: about it at all. But I'm like I gotta have
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: at least something that's not super choky. Actually, what kind
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: of a bracket person are you? What is your bracket personality?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I usually fill it out on instinct, and then I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: go back and I'm like, Okay, this is dumb, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: cause I'll have too many upsets. I'm like, I can't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have this many upsets, And so I play with it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all the way up until and then I'm like, I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: just don't like it. This last year, I ended up
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: with the chalkiest bracket I've ever had, and it was
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the worst bracket I've ever had.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Oh so this.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Year, I'm going back to my original just I went
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: on instinct, But then I went and I looked at
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: some research and some other things, and I realized, Hey,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: my bracket's actually not too far off from some of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: these other brackets. So I'm not changing a thing, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I have not changed it since I filled it out. Also, usually,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you enter multiple pools and things like that,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I'll just go, oh yeah, and I'll click them all
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and not think about it. This year, I made sure
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to off the one bracket that I did so that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: all of my picks are the same and it's I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: mean it's not chalky. My final four is Michigan State, Illinois,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, in Arizona.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I got one one set in there. Yeah yeah, all right,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: sounds like you're like the personality that is like I need. Like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to cut your own hair, you're like,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you can't go too short right right off here.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You just got to start with like an.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Inch because then there's no going back. Yeah, So you
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: go cut your hair and then like assess, Yeah, yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I can take a little bit more off.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: No, you know, I can adjust it a little bit
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: here and there, so you sort of willingly like I
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: am going to change it, yes, but I'm going to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: start with big and then pair down from there.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: But this year I did not do that, not one
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: change since I filled it out. Wow, Actually that's not true.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I made one change right after I filled it out,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and then it has not been touched.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: We're all changing our personalities, and I.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Think I know why, because you went and got gas
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday and are responsible human being all of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a sudden, then you've changed us all.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: We are just changing everything.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there are a lot of different are happening.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Bracket personalities out there, there's no question. Uh, you know. Yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: there's the Mark James, I studied more than you bracket personality.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And you can't fill out a bracket.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not in that category for sure. There's at all.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the J Billis. Uh, I will never pick
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: an upset personality. Yeah, by the way J Billis operates,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you mean. There is the I'm
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: closer to that. There is the total like I just
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: picked the mascot. Yeah, personality.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Person also not allowed to fill out a bracket.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I tell this story every year that when I started
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: doing sports talk radio, National Sports, because I started in
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: National and I was what twenty three years old, twenty
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: two to twenty three years old, still had mullet for goodness,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And here I go to Vegas and I moved to Vegas,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: kid out of the cornfield, and here I am surrounded
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: by all these sports talk radio people, like people like
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: oh man, these are my people. These are the people
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that have loved sports as much as me from the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: day that they were birthed into this world. And I'm
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: in the same room with all of them. Before that,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I was working at a radio station in Alton, Illinois,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: which mainly did news, and I was the sports guy
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: at the East station. But now I'm surrounded by all
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: sports junkies, right, so here comes the March Madness bracket
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, great, finally get to test my
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: skills against the best. And so I'm all fired up
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: for this. And we didn't have a lot of employees
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: at sports Fan Radio Network at the time, so we
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: had to sort of get everybody involved. So we talked
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: our office secretary, Julie Dion, who was kind of like God,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: like Elvira meets who's a person that puts on a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: lot of makeup? Give me, give me a name of somebody. Yes, fine,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: he's like Elvira meets Kim Kardashian, all right. And she'd
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: never watched a sporting event in her entire life. She
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: was all into you know, she was an LA person.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: She was into movies and art and and I think
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: maybe had a relationship with Satan and yet sweet as
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: could be all that stuff. She was so eccentric that
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: she wouldn't take a left turn. She would drive down
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the road and if she needed to get somewhere, she
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: would just keep taking right turns until she got there.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: She was scared to take left turns.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, So she was just an odd doug who had
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: never watched and so we talked her into filling out
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the bracket and she didn't even know what it was.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: She's like, well, what is this you just.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: And then you had to teach her.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she didn't catch on to it, and so
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you had to write one of these two teams names here.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: You had to teach her for a while, and then
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: she fills out the bracket, and damn if she didn't
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: win the whole thing.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: She did amongst all you sport.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what's so fun about it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: If my first year of being surrounded by nothing but
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: monstrous sports fans. And we watched a lot of college
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: basketball back in the day, a lot more than people
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: do today. Watched a lot. And yet here's all of
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: our collective knowledge poured into this this you know, tough competition.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: And I became wiser that day when Julie Dion beat
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: us all.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And what was the lesson you learned?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: There's no rhyme or reason to it. Yeah, so you
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: might as well just have fun with it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That's the thing, right, That's the key is you get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to compete with everybody, and it's all different levels of
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: knowledge and expertise, and you yeah, it's a crapshoot. Yeah yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So just enjoy it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Just enjoy shooting the crap. Yeah, all right, coming up next.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yesterday we talked about whether or not the Seahawks should
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: be going aggressively after that Miami Dolphins running back that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: they're seeming to have a fire sale on all good
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: players in Miami. Well, we got new information yesterday that
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that might not be something that will work out. We'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: discuss it. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Hey,
• 19:42

  Speaker 2: Whether you're Chalky Chalkerson or you're the hairdresser that doesn't
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: want to clip too close to the head, or if
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: you're somebody that compromises your principles when you're normally upset
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: guy for no reason, but you've decided to change into
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Chalky Chalkerson yourself. Doesn't matter what your mode of operation is.

  Speaker 2: This year, you can fill out your bracket at ninety
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: three to three KJR dot com for your shot to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: win fabulous prizes. Let's talk a little Seahawks football here
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: this morning. As yesterday on the program, we talked about
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the possibility of the Seahawks being interested in Devin h
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Chan of the Miami Dolphins. Actually mentioned that the Dolphins
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: are denying that he's even available, and they went a
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: little further out of their way to stamp down on
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that yesterday. They're claiming that he's untouchable at this stage
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: in the process, that he's not even available. So those
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that are calling you can stop calling, and those that
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: are fantasizing about the Devin h Chan in your starting lineup,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: he's going to remain a Dolphin where we can ruin
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the next couple of years of his career. And yet,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and the words of Ron Burgundy, I don't believe you, Yeah, yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think that. I don't think you go to
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: all this trouble of rebuilding to then hold on to
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a guy that you are pretty much admitting we're going
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: to have to either franchise tag next year or give
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: him a ridiculous salary. Do you realize the leverage that
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: they give Devin h Chan if they don't trade him,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: if you're going to keep him as a building block
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: at twenty four years old with one year left on
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: his contract. I mean, I heard I read Joel Cory yesterday,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: who's the capologist to you know, for CBS. He basically
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: has created a career out of being a NFL capologist,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: as a as a media member. And he said if
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I'm because he used to be an agent, he said,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: if I'm Devin h Chan's agent, right now, I am
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: flexing the You're going to pay me top of the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: market money right now. If I'm not valuable to you,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: you're going to extend me right now. We're going to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: be asking for about twenty million dollars a year. So
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that's that's what he said that he would do with it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So I realize that they're saying that, but I still
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: believe that it's leverage. It's hard for me to believe
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that you're going to sell off every part that you
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: have of any value, go into a rebuilding effort, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: then decide that the one piece that we can't part
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: with is a running back who we've probably already overused
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: at this stage of his career because he's one hundred
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and ninety five pounds and we decided to run in
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: between the guards for two straight seasons.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's been healthy.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: He's got a lot of wear and tear, but has
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: seemed to hold up to it to some degree. But
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: that's it's just a matter of time, right, I mean,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: especially playing that position, it's just a matter of time
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: until that does not work anymore and you have this
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: year to move him. Otherwise you're in You're in a
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: bidding war to some degree with with everybody else, depending
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: on what they would want to do. I don't I
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: don't understand it. I don't understand why you would make
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: a running back the the thing that I mean, if
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: you have a young quarterback and then you realize, wow,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: we got some overpriced receivers, or we have some other
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: things that we need to get rid of. Some of
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: this money and kind of start anew and we can
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: do it, you know, turn this thing over in a
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: year or two. And we still got this young quarterback.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Well that makes sense, right, you don't. You don't rebuild
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna tear it down to the studs. You don't,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: you know, leave whatever the refrigerator in the room, Like, well,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: let's just keep that old refrigerator. You know, we're gonna
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: remodel the whole house to just keep the frigerator in there. No,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: you get a new fridge, but I really like the refrigerator. Yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: well the fridge for refrigerator, I don't know. I just
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: got an emotional connection.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kept my food fresh for so long.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah you might need to know one if
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: you can get something for refrigerator at this point in time.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: So to me, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: And so I'm with you, like, you can say it
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: all you want. It's one of two things. Either you're
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: lying because you want to keep his value up. Right,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: you're saying he's not touchable, but you still answer the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: phone call. Right, what but now I said he's untouchable. Well,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: there's everything has a price, that's true. So you're doing
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: that or you're just making a mistake and you're building nothing.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: He's not a good player. You just don't where you're
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: at right now. That's not a thing you need. You
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: don't need a you know, one of the better running
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: backs on the last year of his contract that you
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: have used. I mean, he has played just about every
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: single game since he's been a Miami Dolphin, and you've
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: been running him inside the tackles, even though he's a small, shifty,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: home run hitter. So I don't know. To me, it
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: doesn't make a whole lot of sense. So we'll see
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: if they're actually telling the true or not.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the thing. When Adam Scheffer came out
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: with that, oh that the Dolphins are saying he's not available,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, you're speaking for the Dolphins because they
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: want to drive this price up, and because everybody wants
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: what they can't have. So if if all of a
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: sudden he's unavailable, he becomes a heck of a lot
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: more desirable.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and try to drive the price up. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I get, I get if you're in a rebuilding. They
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: clearly are, and they got a new regime there. They
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: got a new head coach and the new general manager,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: and and you know they've they've been struggling for a
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: long time, like decades to try to get this thing
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: right again. And they're starting from scratch again to try
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to do it the right way. And I don't think
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that the way to do it is to let's identify
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: one guy on our roster that's untouchable, and it's a
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: twenty four year old, one hundred and ninety pounds running
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: back that we're going to use the crap out of
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: for one more year, yeah, and then nothing and then
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: be forced to either franchise, tag him or overpay him. Yeah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that's because that's what that's what you're gonna do. Like,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna keep him for one more year, then
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: you're gonna obviously try to keep him long term, right
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: because you're not gonna win this year with him, definitely, Okay,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna try to keep him long term. And
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna keep him long term, you're gonna have
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: to pay more than other people are gonna be willing
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: to pay him. And other people are gonna be willing
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: to pay him a lot because he could be a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: final piece to another team. He's not a first piece
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: for any team. Yeah, And so you're either gonna have
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: to sign him way over his value going forward where
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: he's already had concussion issues and everything else, or you're
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: gonna have to franchise tag him. And what a terrible
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: way to announce to your star player. We want to
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: keep you. So what we're gonna do is we're going
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: to we're gonna prohibit you from maxing out your value
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: right now by making you a Dolphin for another year.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: And that's after we made you play with no one
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: on your team, yeah, for a year.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it doesn't make any sense. So if you're right, well,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: we gave it a shot. Well, Seahawk fans on Twitter,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: we gave it a shot. We all expressed an interest
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: in Devin h Chan, but they told us no, No,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I'd go back to that house again and knock to
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: see if they have some candy because I think Devin
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: ah Chan is going to be traded before the draft,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: yeah period. Yeah. I mean Max Crosby will be traded
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: again too.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it seems like that one I feel
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: less confident in, just simply because it feels like they
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: kind of got to still do all that stuff and
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: then it, well, what do you know, we still fit
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: this guy underneath our cap. But yeah, I'm with you.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I think the a chain thing would be a mistake
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: if they don't trade him.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next on the radio program, something
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday in Major League Baseball transaction wise that I
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: would think surely surprises Maren Sports Radio ninety three point
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: three KJRFM. Set the roster and name an opening day starter,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: which we've already done. Today we're going with we're endorsing
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: WU like it's like, you know, kJ R is endorsing
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: WU like a political candidate. Yeah, he got our support, Brian,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So we got all of those fun topics. But I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: saw something yesterday that I found rather odd. Harry Ford
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: did not make the Nationals opening day roster. What did
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: you trade for him? What was the reason beyond the
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: trade if you're not planning on playing him. I mean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: the whole point of him being valuable was that he's
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: ready to play major League baseball, but he can't get
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: reps because he's backing up the best catcher.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: In the world.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: And so you move him, you move him for a
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: little bit less than what I know a lot of
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Mariner fans thought he would fetch in a trade. Jose
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Ferrer was the straight up match up. And then the Nationals,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: who like the Dolphins who we just talked about, are
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: in full scale reheabit. They're going to be the worst
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: team in baseball this year. They're gonna be worse than
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the Rockies this upcoming year. And they don't have room
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: for Harry Ford, who's entire story has been he's ready
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: for the major leagues, but he's blocked from being able
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: to participate and he's not. I mean, how bad a
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: spring did Harry have if he's not making that roster.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: If I'm Harry Ford and I'm going down to Triple
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: A with the Washington Nationals organization, I'm having some really
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: serious doubts about whether or not I'm good enough to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: play major league baseball.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, I can't feel good because he had
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: to have thought to himself, Okay, here's my opportunity, the
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: zero chance I was going anywhere. But we don't with
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the Mariners. I mean, Kyl Rowlan's not going anywhere. And
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: he wanted to say with the Mariners.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: He wanted to be with the Mariners, but there was
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: just like, well, if I want to play, I guess
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: this is what I got to do. And he goes
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to the worst team in baseball and can't make the
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: team out of spring. That's crazy to me.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not like he had a ton of opportunities.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at the stature. He played in seven games
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: at seventeen played appearances, had a few walks, but went
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: three for fourteen, so hit two fourteen, not much damage,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: one double, I guess, and maybe he just didn't didn't
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: swing it.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Now he went and left.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I mean part of it, he looks at seven games
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: is about what people were getting before they went to
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the WBC. Right, So he went and played for Great Britain. Yeah,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: and then came back and basically immediately get sent down.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: So the last two weeks or week and half at least,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: he wasn't even there to not show out. Well, he
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: wasn't even there. Yeah, maybe that's part of it. Maybe
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: that's what.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Is Well, they do have a young catcher, they have
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: keibert Ruiz who they like, and he's still young, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: that's fine. But you're so bad that how do you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not find a roster spot? How can you not figure
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: out a way to do catcher DH or you'll somebody
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: can play another position. I mean, it just seems. It
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: just seems crazy to me that I feel bad for
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the kid because I'm sure that when he got traded
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: away from the Mariners, who he didn't want to leave,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: the team that drafted him, he was like, well, at
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: least i'll get playing time. Yeah, and he's met with no,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you're not even good to make our roster. Yeah. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: think you can live with I'm not good enough to
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: make the Mariners roster right now or beat out Kyle
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Raley and now he's going to have to start in
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the minor leagues again this year. But it's just odd.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And if they have such a young catcher, why did
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: they want another catcher.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I think I think it was we're moving for air,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and we have an opportunity to get a pretty good
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: young talent, and we're not in a position to like
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: where we're a hole away from being, you know, a contender.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: So they're just in accumulate talent mode about it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: That's where they're.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: At, regardless of position. So I understand why if you
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: have a catcher, you're noted by having two catchers. But
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I'm putting both those guys on the roster and and
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably alternate them behind the plate and d
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: h and you know, I'm the Nationals. I'm not gonna
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: win a lot this year. Have three catchers on the
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: roster for goodness sake. But it it seems to me
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: like this is sort of like what we had with
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Devin h Chan. You keep Devin h Chan and then
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: you announced to the world, Yeah you're you're it guy.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: You're the one guy we're gonna build around, uh franchise tag,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you know, like pissing them off immediately after lifting him up. Yeah,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And that feels like what they're doing with Harry Ford,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: like all right, here we are. We've lifted you up.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: You're coming to a team, and yeah it's a bad team,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna you're a piece. We're gonna go with
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: you minors. After he'd been waiting patiently and getting everything
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: done at every level to be ready for the major leagues,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and yet he's gonna start in the minor leagues.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Crazy. Yeah, Well, it's it's they have two guys. That's
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: it's the one you mentioned and then the Drew Mealis
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Miless whatever it is another kid that doesn't have much
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: time either. I don't know if there's a waiver game
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: that's being played, you know, in options, how many options
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: they have left, if that's what it is, because he
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: still obviously has options left, and so maybe that's what
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: it is, because I don't see a reason they don't
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: have anybody on the roster that has had significant playing
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: time at the big league level. And you would think
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: when you give away a good, high leverage lefty like that,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: that you were thinking, Okay, this guy's ready, he's big
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: league ready. You're not trading a major league ready for
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: a project. And yet, to some degree, by sending him
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: back down, he has to feel like he is a
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: project now.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, gott to be angry.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I would be.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I mean that was the whole thing. Yeah, okay, I'm
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: gonna leave the Mariors, but at least I get to play. Yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I can finally be in the big leagues, which I've earned. Yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: and then maybe had a terrible spring. I don't know.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like we would have heard that though if
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: he had a terrible spring.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: And even if he did, I mean, he's got to
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: take some lumps a little bit. Would I would get it? Started,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: But the Mariners do have Jose Ferrer to show for it.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's evidence that you know, we at all. I mean,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: we'd obviously all exaggerated Harry Ford's value in our heads
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: because we were sure he was going to bring more
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: than a relief pitcher. Maybe the Mariners knew something. Maybe
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Harry Ford's not that good.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe no.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I mean I saw him playing Tacomo a few times,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: look pretty good. But maybe he's just not that good.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's not ready. I don't know, but it just
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: felt like here for two years, the only reason he
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't in the major leagues was because of cow uh
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And now obviously there's reasons beyond that. All right, coming
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: up next, speaking of a major league baseball The WBC
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: was a runaway success here in twenty twenty six. But
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I hate to ask you this, especially when Bucky's already
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: thinking about Jim Nance not wearing pants less, not in
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't. Yeah, is Rob Manford a little two
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: turned on by the WBC success. We'll discuss it in
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
