1:16
Speaker 6: You're a lot nicer than I am. Chuck.
1:18
Speaker 1: Well, well, actually one of us has got to be
1:21
Speaker 1: just you know, get me. You're tired your week you're home.
1:23
Speaker 1: That is you, that is me. I'm practically the statue
1:26
Speaker 1: of liberty. It is Chuck, Buck and Ashley here. Good morning, everybody,
1:31
Speaker 1: and welcome into this hump day edition of Chuck and
1:34
Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
1:37
Speaker 1: We got you for four hours today, and my goodness.
1:41
Speaker 1: I mean there are busy shows, which usually they are
1:45
Speaker 1: these days. I don't just make that up. That's just
1:47
Speaker 1: not a crutch that the old talk show hosts yous.
1:50
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the last time we didn't have
1:52
Speaker 1: a busy show. But today I mean juicy as sports
1:58
Speaker 1: radio topics. I mean, if you are wanting a juicy
2:01
Speaker 1: sports radio topic, the sports world has cooperated because we've
2:06
Speaker 1: got seventeen of them today and I don't even know
2:09
Speaker 1: we can even get to all of them before ten
2:11
Speaker 1: o'clock hits. So settled in, welcome in, and I think
2:15
Speaker 1: we just dive right in because I could have gone
2:18
Speaker 1: with a lot of different things to lead the show today,
2:21
Speaker 1: but I think we got to start with the WBC
2:25
Speaker 1: last night, and not just because America lost to Italy,
2:30
Speaker 1: which I've got plenty of thoughts on that, but not
2:33
Speaker 1: just because they lost in the WBC. But maybe the
2:37
Speaker 1: bigger story is that the manager Mark DeRosa, who Bucky
2:43
Speaker 1: is a good friend with and was teammates with, and
2:46
Speaker 1: who I think from a analyst standpoint, might be one
2:50
Speaker 1: of my favorite in any sport in all of the world.
2:54
Speaker 1: And we both like that he's the manager of Team America.
2:58
Speaker 1: But he might not have understood the rules of the
3:03
Speaker 1: pool play for how you advance. He had said yesterday
3:08
Speaker 1: with his friends at MLB Network yesterday morning that they
3:13
Speaker 1: had already punched their ticket to the next round. Then
3:17
Speaker 1: last night, in a game where he didn't have a
3:20
Speaker 1: couple of normal starters in the game, and his pitching
3:23
Speaker 1: decisions were a bit head scratching at times, even to
3:27
Speaker 1: the point where Clayton Kershaw, who looks like he weighs
3:30
Speaker 1: like three to ten right now, is warming up in
3:33
Speaker 1: the bullpen when it looks like you're going to lose
3:37
Speaker 1: and it might come down to run prevention in terms
3:41
Speaker 1: of whether or not you even get to go beyond
3:44
Speaker 1: pool play. You might get edged out by Italy and Mexico.
3:49
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, there was an alarm that
3:51
Speaker 1: went off. He brings Mason Miller into the bullpen and
3:54
Speaker 1: then Clayton Kershaw was not put into the baseball gameh
4:00
Speaker 1: eight to six, and if you've given yourself a chance
4:04
Speaker 1: to get into the you know, the championship tournament here.
4:09
Speaker 1: But afterwards, Mark Durosa had to answer for it. He
4:13
Speaker 1: claimed he misspoke, But people aren't really buying it, Bucky.
4:17
Speaker 1: People think that this entire coaching staff that had sat
4:21
Speaker 1: up the night before with players drinking beer and telling
4:25
Speaker 1: stories in the locker room to the degree that a
4:28
Speaker 1: couple of them weren't good to go last night, did
4:32
Speaker 1: not understand that you that not You are not in
4:36
Speaker 1: the next round. You have not clenched your spot in
4:40
Speaker 1: the next round. And now all of a sudden, they're
4:43
Speaker 1: hanging in the balance. If Mexico wins today four to two,
4:48
Speaker 1: the US is out of the entire WBC. So he's
4:54
Speaker 1: got some splaining to do. And I'm not sure anybody's
4:58
Speaker 1: gonna buy his his answers or his explanation at this point.
5:02
Speaker 1: So bad night last night for Team America, but a
5:06
Speaker 1: lot worse than what it even looked like on the surface.
5:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean the the I mean, first and foremost,
5:13
Speaker 7: you know, to lose to Italy is not good. That said,
5:17
Speaker 7: there's I read something I think it was from Pat
5:22
Speaker 7: McAfee yesterday, who was just hell, in the heck do
5:25
Speaker 7: you lose to Italy? Right like, I mean, yeah, if
5:27
Speaker 7: we lose to in soccer, that's one thing. Or a
5:29
Speaker 7: cooking contest that's another. It wasn't that's baseball. But first
5:33
Speaker 7: of all, it wasn't Italy. That was Team America JV.
5:36
Speaker 4: Yeah.
5:36
Speaker 1: Well yeah, not one player was from Italy. Actually one
5:39
Speaker 1: player was from Italy, right, yeah.
5:41
Speaker 7: I mean typically most of these guys are American born
5:44
Speaker 7: and they just have some something in their heritage that
5:48
Speaker 7: leads them down the path where they can play for Italy.
5:50
Speaker 7: I mean, I to be honest, back when it was
5:53
Speaker 7: the Olympics, there was an opportunity at one point in time,
5:56
Speaker 7: kind of it never really panned out to anything. My
5:59
Speaker 7: ex was Italian half Italian dad, born and raised in Italy,
6:03
Speaker 7: and there was a chance that I could have been
6:05
Speaker 7: married to her played for Team Italy. I don't have
6:08
Speaker 7: an Italian cell in my body, So it's along those lines.
6:12
Speaker 7: Just it's kind of different where there's a lot of
6:14
Speaker 7: people playing on these teams who don't necessarily have any
6:17
Speaker 7: heritage there, but.
6:18
Speaker 6: Gods would not have approved.
6:19
Speaker 1: No, they would not have. And by the way, just
6:21
Speaker 1: before we I hate that and it's my reckless at breakfast,
6:25
Speaker 1: just to look ahead. I think it's ridiculous. I think
6:29
Speaker 1: there was a reason why they weren't really celebrating last night.
6:33
Speaker 1: They're not Italian. The team is not even being embraced
6:38
Speaker 1: in Italy, like they don't care. None of those guys
6:42
Speaker 1: are Italian. Those guys have are of Italian heritage that
6:46
Speaker 1: are American born, raised, trained. Some of them have never
6:50
Speaker 1: even been to Italy, and yet they're beating the USA
6:53
Speaker 1: in a tournament. I wouldn't feel good about it. I
6:56
Speaker 1: don't think Michael Lorenzen did feel good about it last
6:58
Speaker 1: night when it was over. Good in theory, seemed like
7:01
Speaker 1: a good idea in theory, but he was they weren't celebrating.
7:04
Speaker 1: They're like, oh wait, we weren't expecting to win. Yeah,
7:08
Speaker 1: But anyway, that gets us off topic.
7:10
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I just was going to say, I mean,
7:12
Speaker 7: it's the game of baseball is different. It's not like
7:15
Speaker 7: the Dream Team, you know. I mean you could put
7:17
Speaker 7: you could put the second starting five out there of
7:20
Speaker 7: the Dream Team and they were going to walk over
7:23
Speaker 7: most of the people back when when that happened what
7:25
Speaker 7: ninety two or whatever it was.
7:27
Speaker 1: Baseball's different.
7:28
Speaker 7: You you end up, you know, putting somebody out there
7:30
Speaker 7: and gives up a couple of long balls, and you
7:33
Speaker 7: throw a couple of balls around and give some unearned
7:36
Speaker 7: runs up, and you could find yourself, you know, a
7:38
Speaker 7: couple of balls short of you know, a couple of
7:42
Speaker 7: balls falling on the warning track. You could find yourself
7:44
Speaker 7: on the losing end when you are a better team,
7:46
Speaker 7: whether you had all of your starters out there or not.
7:48
Speaker 7: But I mean the idea of.
7:49
Speaker 1: Well, it's basically I mean Team America is basically the Dodgers.
7:53
Speaker 1: I mean it's star after star after star, but not
7:56
Speaker 1: every single player is a star. Otherwise, Ryan Yarbro's not
7:59
Speaker 1: on our team. You know a guy that I don't
8:01
Speaker 1: even think is on a major league roster right now
8:04
Speaker 1: when we've got we have hundreds to pick from, and
8:07
Speaker 1: yet he gave up a huge home run last night.
8:10
Speaker 1: So you know, that Italian team was all major leaguers,
8:17
Speaker 1: with the exception of one, all major leaguers. So the
8:20
Speaker 1: A's can beat the Dodgers. The A's swept the Dodgers.
8:23
Speaker 1: Swept the Dodgers in a series a couple of years
8:25
Speaker 1: ago when they were at their lowest. The Colorado Rockies
8:29
Speaker 1: can beat any major League team on any given day,
8:31
Speaker 1: even though they're probably going to lose one hundred and
8:33
Speaker 1: twenty games this year. That was the equivalent of it.
8:36
Speaker 1: It's not that big of an upset. It's like the
8:38
Speaker 1: Rockies beating the Dodgers in a regular season game. Happens
8:43
Speaker 1: all the time. As it turns out, that was not
8:45
Speaker 1: an Italian team, that was an American team. Yeah, that
8:48
Speaker 1: we lost to you last night.
8:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I talked to Miles master Bony the
8:52
Speaker 7: week that I stayed down there and took the family in,
8:55
Speaker 7: and I asked if he was excited. He goes, yeah,
8:57
Speaker 7: I mean it's an opportunity to go out there and
8:59
Speaker 7: kind of do something right. I mean, they weren't expecting
9:03
Speaker 7: necessarily to go out there and win. And yet that's
9:05
Speaker 7: the beauty of baseball is that if you can go
9:08
Speaker 7: out there against a team that's far better than you
9:10
Speaker 7: are on paper, and yet if they don't play better
9:12
Speaker 7: than you, I mean, if they don't maximize their opportunities
9:16
Speaker 7: and you do you find yourself winning. Now the bigger
9:19
Speaker 7: part of it is the idea of whatever happened the
9:22
Speaker 7: night before, which at first I read into it as
9:25
Speaker 7: it was like old school baseball where guys used to
9:27
Speaker 7: sit in the clubhouse after games and talk about the game,
9:30
Speaker 7: talk about baseball like they nowadays they can't wait to
9:33
Speaker 7: put their versace person and walk out and whatever whatever
9:37
Speaker 7: garb they showed up in that was, you know, really
9:40
Speaker 7: high fashion. It's the game has changed, And so I
9:43
Speaker 7: read it first, read it like this team is just
9:46
Speaker 7: embracing this moment that they get to be on this
9:49
Speaker 7: superstar team, right, I mean, this is an all star team,
9:51
Speaker 7: but you get to have USA across your chest. Well,
9:54
Speaker 7: if that celebration or that camaraderie went so far as
9:59
Speaker 7: to where not everybody is ready to rock and roll
10:01
Speaker 7: the next day, or you were you thought your ticket
10:03
Speaker 7: was already punched, like dro said when he went on
10:06
Speaker 7: MLB and and and said that, yeah, well it doesn't
10:09
Speaker 7: really matter what happens. Not knowing the tiebreaker is no,
10:11
Speaker 7: you lose, And now you know, Italy finds themselves in
10:15
Speaker 7: the driver's seat and it's the tiebreakers run scored and
10:18
Speaker 7: you're in third place as of right now, when and
10:21
Speaker 7: they only to the top two teams end up advancing.
10:24
Speaker 7: Now you've played that one extra game, so now you're
10:26
Speaker 7: at the mercy of your destiny is in the hands
10:29
Speaker 7: of Italy, either winning outright or Mexico. You know, if
10:33
Speaker 7: they win, then they got to they have to basically
10:35
Speaker 7: score more than what eight runs or something against against Italy.
10:39
Speaker 1: So it's there's a couple of different scenarios how that works.
10:42
Speaker 7: But it's the fact that they thought they were in,
10:44
Speaker 7: because I don't think it was that dro just misspoke.
10:47
Speaker 1: I think he thought they were in. I think he
10:49
Speaker 1: thought they were in while they were playing last night.
10:53
Speaker 1: I think somebody alerted him to the rules and that's
10:56
Speaker 1: why he put Kershaw down and got Miller going.
11:00
Speaker 8: Which that's the part that's baffling. How would you have
11:02
Speaker 8: not known already know me in the morning. You didn't
11:05
Speaker 8: know when you were on MLB network, right, and so
11:07
Speaker 8: then you spoke on It's not a misspeak, right, you
11:10
Speaker 8: spoke on the information you had or that you believed
11:13
Speaker 8: at the time. And then but I don't know how somebody,
11:16
Speaker 8: even with somebody at MLB network, I mean, he's on
11:18
Speaker 8: the on there with his friends. How does someone after
11:21
Speaker 8: the interview not say, hey, man, you know you guys.
11:23
Speaker 6: Haven't punched the ticket, right right? I mean that's all
11:27
Speaker 6: it takes.
11:27
Speaker 8: Like, hey, actually, if you don't win tonight, there is
11:29
Speaker 8: a chance you still you could not make it. I
11:32
Speaker 8: don't know how he goes all day long and not
11:34
Speaker 8: one person thinks to say, we should probably tell him
11:40
Speaker 8: that the US has not punched their ticket. Somebody should
11:42
Speaker 8: tell him.
11:43
Speaker 1: I mean, there's got tony somebody on the staff that
11:44
Speaker 1: that's their job. I would, and I would think that
11:47
Speaker 1: the manager would make sure that above anything else that
11:51
Speaker 1: he knew. And I I know, I know Bucky knows
11:54
Speaker 1: him personally, very fond of d Row and what I
11:57
Speaker 1: know of him and the see of him. I mean,
12:00
Speaker 1: I think he'd probably be a rat pack member of mine.
12:03
Speaker 1: I think I think that I just really like his analysis.
12:06
Speaker 1: I like his approach to life. He was beloved in
12:09
Speaker 1: every locker room he's ever been in. But it kind
12:12
Speaker 1: of feels like he was just celebrating that I'm one
12:15
Speaker 1: of the guys and I'm gonna create this awesome environment
12:18
Speaker 1: and we're gonna drink beer and tell stories. And yet
12:21
Speaker 1: we're gonna be serious about winning it. And yet part
12:23
Speaker 1: of your responsibility, the main part of your responsibility, is
12:28
Speaker 1: understanding the tournament you're in, and for him to not
12:32
Speaker 1: know that as of yesterday morning was bad enough for
12:35
Speaker 1: him to manage then manage the game as if he
12:39
Speaker 1: didn't understand the rules. And I say this a lot
12:44
Speaker 1: there there's unforgivable and then there's inexplainable. There are a
12:49
Speaker 1: lot of things in life that are forgivable, but in
12:52
Speaker 1: the moment that's not explainable. How did you not know that?
12:55
Speaker 1: This is both like and I'm not saying as a
12:58
Speaker 1: human being, we can forgive Mark Duros as a human
13:00
Speaker 1: being for not understanding those roles. But as manager of
13:05
Speaker 1: Team America, you're fired, even if you come back and
13:09
Speaker 1: win this thing. How you don't know that you hadn't
13:13
Speaker 1: punched your ticket and it didn't feel like you did
13:17
Speaker 1: know until the eighth inning of a game last night.
13:21
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how You're right. I don't
13:23
Speaker 1: know how somebody else doesn't know on the entire coaching staff.
13:27
Speaker 1: But that is his main responsibility. He's got to know
13:32
Speaker 1: what it takes to manage a game, even if you
13:35
Speaker 1: have to lose the game, what it's going to take
13:38
Speaker 1: to get into the next round. There's no excuse for it,
13:41
Speaker 1: just no excuse for it.
13:43
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not one hundred percent I didn't necessarily watching
13:45
Speaker 7: the game feel like he didn't know it then even
13:48
Speaker 7: going into it, like, oh boy, wait a second, you
13:51
Speaker 7: didn't recognize what the rules were. And I'm with you
13:55
Speaker 7: to me, it's one of those come on, dude, like
13:57
Speaker 7: if he was sitting here in on a you you
14:01
Speaker 7: need to know that that is your if there's one
14:03
Speaker 7: main responsibility, because writing the lineup, you could do it
14:06
Speaker 7: blindfolded and you're not going to write a bad one.
14:08
Speaker 7: Not with this team. Now that the pitching staff is different, Yeah,
14:13
Speaker 7: you have the two best pitchers, but you're going to
14:17
Speaker 7: be limited as to how much you can use any
14:19
Speaker 7: of these arms, and so that part of it kind
14:20
Speaker 7: of weighs in. I think I wouldn't be surprised if
14:24
Speaker 7: if after that interview somebody did tell him, whether it's
14:27
Speaker 7: a somebody on the coaching staff or somebody at MLB
14:30
Speaker 7: Network or just something. Somebody probably told him. He's like,
14:33
Speaker 7: oh wow, But he wasn't going to change up the
14:36
Speaker 7: blueprint that he had for the game initially, like I
14:40
Speaker 7: don't think he wasn't going to come in. They're like,
14:41
Speaker 7: well we got to start somebody different, or the first
14:43
Speaker 7: guy that I have up is going to be different.
14:46
Speaker 7: Now I think maybe you should have had you known
14:49
Speaker 7: going into it, like wow, I can't believe Italy is
14:52
Speaker 7: three and oh at this point. And that puts them
14:54
Speaker 7: in the driver's seat if we lose this ballgame. So
14:56
Speaker 7: if we fall behind by three, because our starter is
15:01
Speaker 7: not necessarily part, I wouldn't put him as part of
15:03
Speaker 7: a dream team or Yarboro, the guy that they brought
15:06
Speaker 7: in who gave up the runs, the big runs after that,
15:10
Speaker 7: even Keller for that matter. I mean, if he can
15:13
Speaker 7: just throw the ball to second base like an athlete,
15:16
Speaker 7: that doesn't cost you a couple of runs. And yet,
15:19
Speaker 7: to me, the idea of you have to adjust on
15:22
Speaker 7: the fly when it comes to at least your relievers,
15:25
Speaker 7: how you're going to do that once you fall behind,
15:27
Speaker 7: because I mean they went out there and basically gave
15:30
Speaker 7: up some runs and then base and then at that
15:32
Speaker 7: point like bled a couple more and those couple runs
15:35
Speaker 7: what could come back to Hanum in the long run.
15:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I look you're a little bit beholden to. Again,
15:41
Speaker 1: these are major league players getting ready for a major
15:43
Speaker 1: league season. I don't have a problem with Paul Goldschmidt's
15:45
Speaker 1: starting last night or Ernie Clement getting a start here
15:48
Speaker 1: and there. I mean, they have to get there at bats.
15:50
Speaker 1: You are responsible to those teams from whom you've plucked
15:54
Speaker 1: one of their players. They still have to get ready
15:57
Speaker 1: for the season. You need to get them at bats.
15:59
Speaker 1: So you know, that's fine with me. But on the
16:04
Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, when I've got broadcasters
16:08
Speaker 1: telling a story on the air about how special it
16:12
Speaker 1: was that they sat around all night telling stories and
16:14
Speaker 1: drinking beer, and then DeRosa again steps in it in
16:19
Speaker 1: that same interview and says, hey, we got a couple
16:21
Speaker 1: guys aren't going to be aren't gonna be feeling too
16:23
Speaker 1: good today? Yeah, and those are the guys that aren't
16:26
Speaker 1: in the lineup. I mean, it is just a horrendous
16:31
Speaker 1: look on him on Team America's approach. And they played
16:37
Speaker 1: listlessly at times last night.
16:39
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, I was gonna say those defensive mistakes
16:42
Speaker 8: knowing like when you go back and look at those
16:43
Speaker 8: defensive mistakes, you're like, oh, well, that's kind of like
16:46
Speaker 8: some guys that aren't feeling very well, that's kind of
16:48
Speaker 8: how they played.
16:49
Speaker 6: It is like, oh, this is a little rough.
16:51
Speaker 1: And maybe didn't have anything to do with it.
16:52
Speaker 8: Didn't You can't help but think about it because now
16:55
Speaker 8: you know it, right, Yeah, And.
16:56
Speaker 1: Look, Major leaguers have played plenty of games the next
16:59
Speaker 1: day where they had one or two too many the
17:02
Speaker 1: night before. But if they spent the day not being
17:07
Speaker 1: not realizing what the rules were and they needed to
17:11
Speaker 1: be sharpah, because the manager never informed them, Hey, if
17:16
Speaker 1: we lose this game, we can't lose. We have to
17:20
Speaker 1: be careful on how many runs that we give up,
17:23
Speaker 1: because it's not run differential, it is how many runs
17:27
Speaker 1: that you allow. And then there's some weird formula from that.
17:30
Speaker 1: And I'm not exactly sure what the number is because
17:33
Speaker 1: I saw two different ones myself. I read this morning
17:36
Speaker 1: that it's five if even if Mexico wins, if they
17:39
Speaker 1: score more than five runs in winning, then US gets in.
17:44
Speaker 1: But I also saw last night a graphic that said
17:47
Speaker 1: it was like eight or nine. But I can just
17:50
Speaker 1: go based on what I saw off of ESPN, I
17:53
Speaker 1: would think that they know here this morning, so there
17:57
Speaker 1: still is a good chance that the US gets in,
18:00
Speaker 1: and if Italy beats Mexico, US is in. Even if
18:03
Speaker 1: Mexico wins, they can't score x amount of runs. I
18:07
Speaker 1: read this morning that that's five okay, all right, but
18:11
Speaker 1: doesn't change the conversation about whether or not Team America's
18:16
Speaker 1: manager was too busy trying to be funny one of
18:21
Speaker 1: the guys, guy versus the responsibility of knowing what it
18:26
Speaker 1: takes for Team USA to win the WBC.
18:30
Speaker 8: Yeah, like after that bad look, after we beat Mexico,
18:33
Speaker 8: I said, two five iron, Okay, we're not in, right,
18:37
Speaker 8: We're not in yet, right like literally after the game,
18:39
Speaker 8: I said, He said, right, because we play Italy tomorrow.
18:42
Speaker 8: And then I say, and win to Italy and Mexico play,
18:44
Speaker 8: he said wednesday.
18:45
Speaker 6: I said, okay, so we got to win tomorrow. I
18:48
Speaker 6: mean I need that, and I'm not managing a team.
18:50
Speaker 6: That was the first thing I thought.
18:51
Speaker 1: Of, The first thing that you should think of. As
18:53
Speaker 1: soon as the game is over, do your celebration, as
18:55
Speaker 1: soon as do your little speech. Nice job, fellas, sit
18:58
Speaker 1: at your desk, get with your coaches. All right, what
19:01
Speaker 1: do we have to do tomorrow? What? What? What? What
19:05
Speaker 1: are the things we have to be aware of? Should
19:07
Speaker 1: be the first thing, and it was not done.
19:10
Speaker 6: No, it's disappointing.
19:12
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, is what it is. All Right, let's find
19:15
Speaker 1: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
19:19
Speaker 1: What's on t what's on tech? All right, So Italy
19:23
Speaker 1: and Mexico at four o'clock, I just kind of explained
19:25
Speaker 1: what's at stake Italy again. We'll play a pitcher that
19:29
Speaker 1: we can kind of trust to get the job done
19:32
Speaker 1: because he's an American train in America.
19:35
Speaker 6: Perfect.
19:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, born raised, probably never been to Italy. But Aaron
19:40
Speaker 1: Nola gets the start for Italy. I don't think Mexico
19:42
Speaker 1: has announced its starter yet. Randy and cal I thought
19:46
Speaker 1: there was a chance we'd lead with handshake Gate, and
19:49
Speaker 1: there is some information to pass along. Apparently cal did
19:52
Speaker 1: reach out to Randy after the game, but via text,
19:56
Speaker 1: and it sounds like Randy did not text back. So
20:00
Speaker 1: we've got a situation. We've got a situation on our
20:03
Speaker 1: hands that we're going to have to discuss later on
20:06
Speaker 1: in the show. Meanwhile, Mariner's spring training back in Peoria.
20:10
Speaker 1: The MS won over Kansas City four to three yesterday,
20:13
Speaker 1: They'll play again today against Colorado at one o'clock, and
20:16
Speaker 1: it'd be nice to see Luis Castillo pitch well because
20:18
Speaker 1: he did not pitch well in his last outing. College basketball.
20:22
Speaker 1: Zags win another conference tournament championship. Yeah, yeah, the incredible
20:31
Speaker 1: story of Gonzaga basketball does continue. But obviously that's not
20:36
Speaker 1: enough to satisfy the masses these days. So the Zags
20:41
Speaker 1: have punched their ticket to the They have punched their ticket.
20:44
Speaker 1: They will be in the nc Celebrate right. There will
20:48
Speaker 1: be no tiebreaker. They are in the NCAA tournament again.
20:52
Speaker 1: Big Ten Tournament started yesterday. U Doub will play today. It's,
20:56
Speaker 1: of course, an elimination game. It's at eleven thirty taking
20:59
Speaker 1: on the us USC Trojans. Right here at Sports Radio
21:02
Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM. Bam Ada Bio scored eighty
21:06
Speaker 1: three points for the Miami Heat last night. You heard
21:09
Speaker 1: me correctly. Yes, that's crazy. You're not dreaming this. Bam
21:13
Speaker 1: at A Baio, a defensive specialist, scored eighty three points
21:17
Speaker 1: last night in a single NBA game. But that too
21:21
Speaker 1: is wrapped in controversy. We'll talk about that at six
21:24
Speaker 1: forty five. Today, Predators beat the Kraken Cracking are losers again.
21:30
Speaker 1: Three straight losses for the Kraken. They still don't have
21:33
Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon activated on their roster. We'll talk to Al
21:36
Speaker 1: Koniski about that at nine thirty today. And of course,
21:39
Speaker 1: there is the National Football League, which we all assumed
21:42
Speaker 1: would be the top story every single day this week.
21:45
Speaker 1: First day a free agency is actually today. The NFL
21:49
Speaker 1: year gets started today. Greg Bell will be with us
21:51
Speaker 1: at seven oh five. Of course, the tampering period came
21:54
Speaker 1: to an end yesterday and so much activity, including Reek
21:58
Speaker 1: Woolen finally finding his new address. He's going to the
22:01
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles on a one year, fifteen million dollar deal.
22:04
Speaker 1: Hugh Millen will also join us today at eight o'clock.
22:07
Speaker 1: And again, if you have not been following the sports
22:11
Speaker 1: news and you were relying on us this morning, Max
22:15
Speaker 1: Crosby is available again in trade. The Ravens mixed the
22:20
Speaker 1: trade with the Ravens yesterday, right before the first official
22:24
Speaker 1: day of the year. They did not like what they
22:27
Speaker 1: saw in the physical and so they have nixed the trade.
22:30
Speaker 1: So Max Crosby is again a Raider and the trade
22:34
Speaker 1: talk has started anew and the Seahawks are once again
22:37
Speaker 1: apparently involved and so.
22:39
Speaker 6: And now Trey Hendrickson is a raven?
22:42
Speaker 1: Did that happen this morning? Huh Yeah. A lot of
22:44
Speaker 1: people were speculating for.
22:45
Speaker 6: Year one hundred and twelve million dollar.
22:46
Speaker 1: Content, which adds another layer, a suspicious layer to all
22:50
Speaker 1: of this, which we will discuss next. Sports Radio ninety
22:52
Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM points.
23:01
Speaker 5: Mama, we feel your joy. The second highest scoring game
23:06
Speaker 5: in NBA history. Second moved lead to Wilt Chamberlain's one
23:10
Speaker 5: hundred point game in Hershey, Pennsylvania against the New York Next.
23:14
Speaker 1: When he was playing for Philadelphia, Hey, Kenny v.
23:27
Speaker 5: Eighty three, eighty three points for Bam out of BYO.
23:35
Speaker 1: All right, done this? It is an hour long sports
23:38
Speaker 1: talk radio conversation. I got four minutes. Bam out of
23:42
Speaker 1: BYO last night scored eighty three points for the Miami Heat.
23:45
Speaker 1: That's right, that Bam out of Bio, the defensive specialist
23:48
Speaker 1: who has developed an offensive game midway through his career.
23:53
Speaker 1: He did enter the game averaging eighteen points, but his
23:57
Speaker 1: season high point total this year was thirty two until
24:00
Speaker 1: last night when he scored eighty three points in a
24:04
Speaker 1: single game. And that should be celebrated, you would think,
24:07
Speaker 1: but it's receiving a lot more criticism than it is
24:10
Speaker 1: praise because of how he got to his eighty three points.
24:13
Speaker 1: Number One, he shot forty three times from the floor.
24:16
Speaker 1: Didn't even shoot fifty percent from the floor, so we're
24:18
Speaker 1: not even talking about like a hotted shooter here. He
24:21
Speaker 1: shot forty three free throws thirty six attempts forty three
24:25
Speaker 1: free throws in the game, which I do believe is
24:27
Speaker 1: an NBA record. The Washington Wizards in the fourth quarter,
24:32
Speaker 1: Eric Spolstro was fouling the Wizards to stop the clock
24:37
Speaker 1: so that at Abaiyo could get more time to get
24:41
Speaker 1: more field goal and free throw attempts. They were designing
24:45
Speaker 1: every single play for him in the second half. Nobody
24:48
Speaker 1: else was even part of the offense, so there was
24:51
Speaker 1: nothing natural about it. There was nothing in the flow
24:54
Speaker 1: of the game about it. Basically, this is somebody that
24:57
Speaker 1: had a red hot first quarter, had scored thirty one points.
25:01
Speaker 1: He had a pretty decent second quarter where he had
25:04
Speaker 1: forty three at halftime, and the Miami Heat decided we're
25:07
Speaker 1: taking on the terrible Wizards. Let's just make this all
25:10
Speaker 1: about how many points we can get bam out of Bayo,
25:13
Speaker 1: And so that's how the second half was spent. And
25:16
Speaker 1: even though Kobe's wasn't exactly as eighty one in the
25:20
Speaker 1: flow of things, and I'm sure Wilt's, even though we
25:23
Speaker 1: don't have video proof of it, was probably not in
25:25
Speaker 1: the flow of the game. Wilt Chamberlain averaged fifty fifty
25:30
Speaker 1: point four points per game that year, versus a defensive
25:34
Speaker 1: stopper who usually just gets dunks, scoring eighty three points
25:39
Speaker 1: on a night where his team, the officials, and the
25:44
Speaker 1: rules of the NBA allowed him to have this historic evening.
25:49
Speaker 1: As we wake up this morning, more people are criticizing
25:51
Speaker 1: this achievement than praising it.
25:53
Speaker 7: Well, it's hard for me to think that you can
25:54
Speaker 7: get to one hundred points or eighty points, or being
25:58
Speaker 7: seventy sixty points without out there being some sort of
26:01
Speaker 7: drastic attempt at the number. Right, they're going after it, right,
26:07
Speaker 7: I mean, it just it isn't typically the way that
26:09
Speaker 7: it's going to happen. I mean, you're you usually have
26:12
Speaker 7: to if it's a tight game, then you're using all
26:15
Speaker 7: your entire team, and you're slowing it down at times,
26:18
Speaker 7: and if you have the lead, you're like well, we can't.
26:20
Speaker 7: We're not rushing down there and trying to get as
26:22
Speaker 7: many shots up as possible. I think there's probably room
26:26
Speaker 7: for criticism on every single time that somebody has some
26:29
Speaker 7: crazy game like this. But that said, I mean it's
26:33
Speaker 7: like I kind of when I saw it last night,
26:35
Speaker 7: I was like, wow, eighty three points.
26:36
Speaker 1: That's impressive.
26:36
Speaker 7: Well, I mean impressive, And then when you start diving
26:39
Speaker 7: into it, there's obviously some help from if you are
26:42
Speaker 7: fouling to stop the clock so that you're getting more possessions.
26:45
Speaker 7: That's the thing I have the most problem with that
26:47
Speaker 7: I don't like, because that's you're trying to manipulate the
26:50
Speaker 7: actual game itself to the slow the clock down to
26:53
Speaker 7: where you're going to get more of them. Then once
26:56
Speaker 7: it's like, oh, wow, you got forty three points at halftime, Okay,
26:59
Speaker 7: I get why you're gonna say, you're gonna start feeding
27:01
Speaker 7: him the rock and hoping that he can just keep
27:04
Speaker 7: making it. But then if there's a whistle happy referee
27:07
Speaker 7: part of it on top of it, to whur now,
27:09
Speaker 7: I sudden you're getting forty three free throw attempts.
27:11
Speaker 1: I would just stop calling fouls.
27:13
Speaker 6: If we'd be like I lost my whistle.
27:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this, if I was watching, I'd be like,
27:18
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, right, it's gonna stop calling fouls.
27:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, there's part of it just kind of ends
27:22
Speaker 7: up being like, e okay, which is crazy. You go
27:25
Speaker 7: out and do some crazy accomplishment like that, and then
27:28
Speaker 7: there's part of it that gets kind of doodooed on
27:30
Speaker 7: a little bit. That's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
27:32
Speaker 7: You kind of you make the bed, you sleep it.
27:35
Speaker 7: He gets to know that you're no. The second highest
27:37
Speaker 7: game ever, and yet it's just part of it. It's
27:39
Speaker 7: kind of like, eh, he's in the record books. Yeah,
27:41
Speaker 7: eighty three points in a single game. All right, If
27:44
Speaker 7: we have time later, we'll talk more, dive further into it.
27:47
Speaker 7: But coming up next Headlines plus Greg Bell at seven
27:50
Speaker 7: oh five on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
27:52
Speaker 7: A r F.
27:53
Speaker 1: M Oh my gosh, what a day. I hate keep up.
28:09
Speaker 1: I mean we talked this a lot. Yeah, it is
28:11
Speaker 1: a lot, and I still haven't got to another huge
28:13
Speaker 1: story yet on the show today. And I don't even
28:15
Speaker 1: feel like I did service to the three topics that
28:18
Speaker 1: we've discussed because I felt like we had to rush.
28:20
Speaker 6: Through them, I need a drink.
28:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna get one tonight. It is Chuck Buck
28:28
Speaker 1: and Ashley. It is a hump day. We roll into
28:30
Speaker 1: our number two. We are a minute and a half
28:32
Speaker 1: away from Greg Bell joining us and seeing if he's
28:35
Speaker 1: hearing anything about Max Crosby perhaps the Seahawks diving into
28:39
Speaker 1: trade discussions with the Las Vegas Raiders. You heard me correctly,
28:43
Speaker 1: Max Crosby is back with the Las Vegas Raiders after
28:46
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens nixed their trade yesterday, and many people
28:51
Speaker 1: in the National Football League are saying they smell a rat.
28:56
Speaker 1: So far, people haven't attached their names to it, but
28:59
Speaker 1: executives around the league are saying that the Ravens are
29:03
Speaker 1: not playing fairly right now this week, and that's to
29:06
Speaker 1: put it mildly. So we'll talk to Greg about that
29:09
Speaker 1: here in a matter of seconds. The Ravens also signed
29:12
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, which is only adding to the suspicion over
29:16
Speaker 1: why they nixed the trade. They claim it was over medicals,
29:19
Speaker 1: but a lot of people in the NFL are not
29:22
Speaker 1: buying it. Some other news from your headlines brought to
29:25
Speaker 1: you by Frostbrewed Corps Light shoes chill. The US lost
29:29
Speaker 1: and the WBC last night to Team Italy comprised entirely Americans,
29:34
Speaker 1: but eight to six was the final score, and maybe
29:38
Speaker 1: maybe the manager Mark Durosa did not understand the pool
29:42
Speaker 1: play rules for advancement until late in the game last night,
29:47
Speaker 1: because right now the US is looking at elimination based
29:51
Speaker 1: on what happens tonight between Italy and Mexico in pool play.
29:56
Speaker 1: Randy and Cal have a issue a handshakegate on our hands,
30:01
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about at seven thirty. We'll give you
30:05
Speaker 1: the latest on that front. The Big Ten Tournament got
30:07
Speaker 1: started yesterday in college hoops. U double play USC today
30:11
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty. Of course, that is an elimination game,
30:15
Speaker 1: and in more ways than one, neither of those teams
30:17
Speaker 1: have a chance to get into the NCAA Tournament unless
30:20
Speaker 1: they win the entire Big Ten. However unlikely that seems
30:25
Speaker 1: to be. Bam Adebio scored eighty three points in a
30:28
Speaker 1: game last night, and he only needed to shoot seventy
30:31
Speaker 1: nine times to do it, and I am not exaggerating.
30:35
Speaker 1: In the NHL, the Predators four to two over the Kraken,
30:39
Speaker 1: who have now lost three straight games. And have played
30:42
Speaker 1: two games since the NHL trading deadline without their trade
30:46
Speaker 1: deadline acquisition mister McMahon, and so we sit here and
30:51
Speaker 1: wait for him, and we get nervous over the fact
30:55
Speaker 1: that the Kraken are seemingly once again in a slump.
30:58
Speaker 1: NFL first day of free agency is today, believe it
31:02
Speaker 1: or not, after forty eight hours of some hardcore tampering
31:06
Speaker 1: that took place in the National Football League, Let's discuss
31:09
Speaker 1: it all with Greg Bell.
31:10
Speaker 3: With the bell tolls, it must be seven o'clock and
31:14
Speaker 3: time for twelfth Man News with Greg Bell, brought to
31:17
Speaker 3: you by Copola Diamond Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkling with bright
31:22
Speaker 3: fruit flavors to make every toast shine Game Day bubbles
31:25
Speaker 3: only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now with twelfth Man News,
31:30
Speaker 3: here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bunt.
31:32
Speaker 4: Come in Grego waiting.
31:35
Speaker 1: I'm already exhausted, Greg.
31:38
Speaker 4: A lot of ground to cover shows today.
31:42
Speaker 1: I'd do it. I'd do it, Greg. I won't volunteer
31:45
Speaker 1: Bucky and Ashley for it.
31:46
Speaker 4: But I do it.
31:47
Speaker 1: Do you think I would? I'm leaving. I'll listen to
31:49
Speaker 1: you on.
31:50
Speaker 4: The way home.
31:54
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's start with Max Crosby, because I mean,
31:58
Speaker 1: it is crazy, fast, fascinating, this entire story. And I
32:02
Speaker 1: don't know if the Seahawks are involved in anyway. I
32:05
Speaker 1: don't know if they've ever been involved in any way
32:07
Speaker 1: in trying to see what making Max Crosby would cost them.
32:12
Speaker 1: But what are you hearing? Is this going to open
32:16
Speaker 1: up a door for John Schneider to swoop in and
32:19
Speaker 1: maybe get a coveted defensive end on the cheap potentially?
32:23
Speaker 1: What's your outlook on all of this?
32:27
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
32:28
Speaker 9: I mean, the reason that all of this blew up
32:31
Speaker 9: is that he's still in the early stages of a
32:35
Speaker 9: niscus repair on his knee in January, and the price
32:40
Speaker 9: that the Ravens paid for that exceeded the risk for
32:45
Speaker 9: the risk exceeded to cost. I guess say so, I
32:48
Speaker 9: don't think the Seahorks would want to take on any
32:51
Speaker 9: risk that involves giving up anything, and we've talked about
32:54
Speaker 9: they don't have a lot to give up anyway. And
33:00
Speaker 9: it's this whole thing would not even happen if there
33:03
Speaker 9: wasn't this quote legal tampering period actually began at the
33:06
Speaker 9: combat in Indianapolis two weeks ago. If the league just
33:10
Speaker 9: said free agency starts on March first or whatever, then
33:17
Speaker 9: they would do a physical and sign a contract, or
33:22
Speaker 9: do the trade and.
33:23
Speaker 4: A league woul approve it or whatever.
33:25
Speaker 9: But when you have this legal tampering period and you're
33:28
Speaker 9: allowed to strike deals and agreements that aren't official to
33:32
Speaker 9: they're signed on today one pm, then you have this
33:36
Speaker 9: gray area of time where you can back out of.
33:38
Speaker 4: Deals that you've agreed to.
33:40
Speaker 9: And if, for instance, free agency started on Monday, the
33:44
Speaker 9: Ravens wouldn't have had a deal.
33:45
Speaker 4: To back out of.
33:49
Speaker 10: It.
33:49
Speaker 9: Just I don't it looks terrible. Obviously, the optics are
33:54
Speaker 9: really bad. The Ravens apparently just did not want to
33:58
Speaker 9: give up two first round picks for a guy who
34:01
Speaker 9: was not near healthy full healthy. But they knew that
34:05
Speaker 9: when they struck the deal to begin with, they knew
34:07
Speaker 9: that he had surgery in January. This just would seem
34:11
Speaker 9: like something that if I was John Schneider, I'd stay
34:13
Speaker 9: completely away from until they knew more, which means until
34:17
Speaker 9: his knee gets recovered and he's at a rehab program
34:20
Speaker 9: and gets in closer to the season, his price will
34:23
Speaker 9: go down.
34:24
Speaker 4: I would suspect.
34:26
Speaker 9: The longer he stays there, of course, his camp's going
34:29
Speaker 9: to say he wants to play for the Raiders and
34:30
Speaker 9: he's all in, and that's the way it goes. But
34:34
Speaker 9: if I was John Schneider, I would just sit back
34:36
Speaker 9: and watch how this develops and whether the Raiders would
34:39
Speaker 9: be still willing to move him as the season as
34:42
Speaker 9: it gets to August September.
34:45
Speaker 7: I mean, with all the things that happened around the
34:48
Speaker 7: league after this that they had initially agreed to this,
34:52
Speaker 7: the Ravens and Raiders, you would think that it pushes
34:55
Speaker 7: some people out because they're, well, we already spend our money,
34:58
Speaker 7: or we already.
34:58
Speaker 1: Went and got our guy.
35:00
Speaker 7: And yet because the Raiders still somehow, even though they
35:03
Speaker 7: spent like a billion dollars in free agency already, they
35:07
Speaker 7: still have room for him. Does that make it to
35:09
Speaker 7: where his price isn't going to have to come down?
35:12
Speaker 7: I mean you would think that it would if they
35:14
Speaker 7: still want to get rid of them, or if they
35:15
Speaker 7: still want to get that. But I mean I would
35:17
Speaker 7: have to think teams, including the Seahawks, if the price
35:21
Speaker 7: was right, if it was one first rounder versus two,
35:24
Speaker 7: maybe and there was room in the cap that there's
35:28
Speaker 7: a lot of teams that would still be interested or
35:29
Speaker 7: their ears would perk back up knowing that he's back
35:32
Speaker 7: out there on the trading block.
35:34
Speaker 4: Well, unless they.
35:35
Speaker 9: Can get the Raiders to pay money. The contract is
35:39
Speaker 9: what it is, and if you trade for him, then
35:41
Speaker 9: you're absorbing that money. Now, the Raiders trading Geno Smith's
35:46
Speaker 9: back to the Jets, which in itself is his own
35:48
Speaker 9: weird story, is an example of the only way the
35:52
Speaker 9: Raiders could get that done was to pay almost all
35:55
Speaker 9: all but three million of eighteen million to do it.
35:58
Speaker 9: So unless the Raiders do that for Max Crosby, it
36:01
Speaker 9: doesn't I mean, you either have the cap space that
36:04
Speaker 9: you don't to absorb Max Crosby's contract. The Cowboys, for instance,
36:10
Speaker 9: is a perfect example of what you just said, Okay,
36:13
Speaker 9: we're not in on Crosby. All reports where the Cowboys
36:16
Speaker 9: offered a first and a second round pick and Raiders
36:19
Speaker 9: said no, and so they went and got Gary from
36:23
Speaker 9: the Packers and now there's their pass rusher. Well, now
36:26
Speaker 9: the Cowboys aren't in the market for Max Crosby because
36:28
Speaker 9: they've got their pass rusher. They weren't seeking from another team. Yes,
36:34
Speaker 9: there's other examples of other teams. Certainly, I'm sure that
36:39
Speaker 9: we're were interested in Crosby and where the Seahawks. John
36:42
Speaker 9: Schneider calls. We always had about this. He kicks the
36:44
Speaker 9: tires and calls, and once he takes pride actually in
36:47
Speaker 9: wanting to be involved in everything, and so would I'm
36:53
Speaker 9: pretty certain that he called the Raiders and has called
36:56
Speaker 9: the Raiders since this all blew up in Baltimore last night.
37:01
Speaker 9: I think the smart play here, not for just John Snyder,
37:04
Speaker 9: but everybody in the league is to wait. Wait to
37:07
Speaker 9: see if he truly wants to play for the Raiders,
37:09
Speaker 9: whether the Raiders truly want him to play, wait to
37:11
Speaker 9: see if he does recover as they're saying he's going to,
37:16
Speaker 9: and waiting to see if the Raiders would still want
37:18
Speaker 9: to trade him, and if they want to trade him
37:20
Speaker 9: in the summer or during or close to the season,
37:24
Speaker 9: the price would absolutely be coming down from two first
37:27
Speaker 9: round picks, So I don't know why there'd be any
37:30
Speaker 9: urgency on anybody's part to try to trade for him
37:32
Speaker 9: right now after.
37:33
Speaker 4: What just happened.
37:33
Speaker 1: I would imagine Max Crosby's tired of people telling him
37:36
Speaker 1: he's hurt when he doesn't feel like he is. I mean,
37:39
Speaker 1: this seems to be a situation with a max. At
37:43
Speaker 1: this point, Greg Bell is with us OUR.
37:44
Speaker 9: He's had a surgery, right yeah, I know, January.
37:48
Speaker 1: But the point is got to recover. From the point
37:50
Speaker 1: is that he's made headlines by playing basketball on game
37:54
Speaker 1: day because he was told he was too injured to play,
37:57
Speaker 1: and now he's been traded to Baltimore. He's celebrated it
38:00
Speaker 1: like mad and has been told note, you're too hurt
38:03
Speaker 1: to be traded for. So Max Crosby's not buying the story.
38:06
Speaker 1: I'll say that. I don't know if anybody else is
38:08
Speaker 1: buying it, but I know Max Crosby isn't. Greg Bell
38:11
Speaker 1: is with us OUR Seahawks insider right here on Chucking
38:13
Speaker 1: Buck in the morning. So let's talk about Rerek Woolan.
38:16
Speaker 1: He signs yesterday with the Philadelphia Eagles. Feels like a
38:21
Speaker 1: pretty good fit. Unfortunately, I you know, Philadelphia is pretty
38:24
Speaker 1: good at this whole coaching thing and developing and taking
38:29
Speaker 1: raw talent and turning it into special players. So unfortunately
38:33
Speaker 1: that seems like a really good fit for Reek wooland
38:37
Speaker 1: right now.
38:39
Speaker 4: It is, but it is also very interesting.
38:41
Speaker 9: You only got one year, and it tells you that
38:44
Speaker 9: the Eagles are not even convinced him as the long
38:47
Speaker 9: term option obviously, and that they want to see what
38:50
Speaker 9: he's like. Okay, after you played for us for a season,
38:54
Speaker 9: we'll decide what your.
38:55
Speaker 4: True value is worth over time.
38:57
Speaker 9: Now, twelve million's not anything to sneeze at. It's what
39:02
Speaker 9: is it two and a half times what he made
39:04
Speaker 9: up to this. It's more than he made in four years,
39:07
Speaker 9: and it's two and a half times what he made
39:08
Speaker 9: last year.
39:09
Speaker 4: The Seahawks decided on Josh Job.
39:11
Speaker 9: That was obvious when Joe decided to come back at
39:14
Speaker 9: eight million dollars a year the day before, and they
39:17
Speaker 9: made their choice. They weren't going to pay Woolen and
39:22
Speaker 9: Job free agent money to do that. Three starting quarterbacks
39:26
Speaker 9: in two spots again with Witherspoon. That doesn't make any
39:28
Speaker 9: financial sense. You win the Super Bowl doing that three
39:32
Speaker 9: with two, and then you make your choice. You can't
39:35
Speaker 9: pay everyone, and not everyone comes back, and they chose Job,
39:39
Speaker 9: and they chose them because they love his man demand
39:42
Speaker 9: cover skills. Julian Love then locker clean out day two
39:46
Speaker 9: days after the Super Bowl, was talking to us about
39:48
Speaker 9: that and said that.
39:50
Speaker 4: Look.
39:50
Speaker 9: You can't Mike McDonald your way out of playing cornerback
39:53
Speaker 9: for us. When we put you on an island, advice
39:55
Speaker 9: yourself with receivers, you got a man up and defend
39:58
Speaker 9: the ball and defend the receiver and knock bases down.
40:01
Speaker 9: We can't scheme through that. We can scheme through safeties
40:04
Speaker 9: over the top and blitz disguises, but when we put
40:08
Speaker 9: you one on one outside as the corner, you got
40:10
Speaker 9: to perform in job.
40:11
Speaker 4: Does that? Does that better than woman does? Consistent? More consistently.
40:15
Speaker 9: I should say Woolan has some splashier plays, faster, taller,
40:20
Speaker 9: but the steady and more consistent cover guy was job.
40:23
Speaker 9: And that's what McDonald wanted and loved about him, and
40:27
Speaker 9: that's why they chose Joe. And once they decided to
40:29
Speaker 9: pay him, then it was up to Woolan to be
40:32
Speaker 9: a free agent se up to the teams. It is
40:34
Speaker 9: interesting that with all of his upside physical skills and
40:38
Speaker 9: how he's still somewhat raw in a position he didn't
40:41
Speaker 9: move to until halfway through his college.
40:42
Speaker 4: Career, that he only commanded a one year deal.
40:45
Speaker 9: Ultimately, and he'll bet on himself and see if he
40:48
Speaker 9: can get the bigger pay day next year, and the
40:50
Speaker 9: Eagles will have the front review of that.
40:55
Speaker 7: Gino Smith ends up going back to New York. I
40:58
Speaker 7: think there was like twenty any quarterbacks between his first
41:01
Speaker 7: tenure and.
41:02
Speaker 1: Now his second ten year team total.
41:04
Speaker 7: I mean it was an eighteen in between, something like that,
41:07
Speaker 7: even in nine years. Yeah, pretty impressive. And yet is
41:11
Speaker 7: it gonna work second time around in New York?
41:15
Speaker 9: Man not until they get an offensive line. They got
41:17
Speaker 9: skill players.
41:18
Speaker 4: Breist Hall is going to come back down, and they've
41:21
Speaker 4: got skill.
41:22
Speaker 9: Players Garrett Wilson, but they their offensive line has been
41:26
Speaker 9: a wreck for a long time. We complained about offensive
41:28
Speaker 9: line player in Seattle the Jets. The Jets and the
41:33
Speaker 9: Raiders have two of the worst offensive lines ever assembled.
41:36
Speaker 9: And until they fix those, they're gonna be bad teams.
41:40
Speaker 9: You can't win in the league with the offensive lines
41:42
Speaker 9: they have. And Smith in his career when he has
41:45
Speaker 9: poor offensive line play makes mistakes. Led the NFL with
41:48
Speaker 9: interceptions at seventeen this past season. We saw in Seattle
41:52
Speaker 9: when he was pressured into mistakes, crushing game and losing mistakes.
41:58
Speaker 4: I wish the best for him. I hope he gets
42:01
Speaker 4: offensive lineman. I keep him from getting killed.
42:04
Speaker 1: I think as long as he doesn't get punched by
42:06
Speaker 1: a teammate, it's a success.
42:08
Speaker 4: Yeah. I wasn't even going to bring that up, but
42:10
Speaker 4: I was there is that. I'm sure he'll be reminded
42:13
Speaker 4: at one hundred thousand times.
42:14
Speaker 1: I know that's yeah, But I mean that is going
42:17
Speaker 1: to be the worst case scenario if he goes back
42:19
Speaker 1: there and a teammate doesn't like something he says and
42:21
Speaker 1: pops him. I mean, you want to talk about full circle.
42:24
Speaker 9: What's interesting about that whole deal is, again, he wouldn't
42:28
Speaker 9: be a jet if the Raiders didn't agree to pay
42:30
Speaker 9: all but three million of eighteen million dollars this year.
42:33
Speaker 4: So that'll tell you that there.
42:35
Speaker 9: Wasn't exactly a robust market for him, all right in
42:39
Speaker 9: wild right, three teams in twelve months now. He was
42:41
Speaker 9: a two time Pro Bowl quarter quarterback this time last
42:45
Speaker 9: year before the Raiders traded for him. And yeah, it's
42:49
Speaker 9: it's just wild how he got at his peak in
42:52
Speaker 9: Seattle and has just fallen off a cliff in the
42:55
Speaker 9: last twelve months.
42:56
Speaker 1: All right, in our last minute or so, any even
42:59
Speaker 1: cooking anything that the Seahawks might be I mean, free
43:02
Speaker 1: agency does start today. Do you get the sense that
43:05
Speaker 1: they're on the lip of anything.
43:08
Speaker 9: Well, they've got a decision to make on their restricted
43:10
Speaker 9: free agents. They would have tendered Jake Bobo, Cody White,
43:14
Speaker 9: Brady Russell, chaserat by now if they were going to
43:19
Speaker 9: so they won't. Then they hoped to bring most of
43:22
Speaker 9: those guys back on new deals that would be more
43:25
Speaker 9: cap friendly than the tender number would be. As of
43:27
Speaker 9: one o'clock today, the start of a new league gear,
43:29
Speaker 9: those guys will become unrestricted free agents, able to sign
43:32
Speaker 9: with anyone, including the Seahawks. I would expect the next
43:36
Speaker 9: moves to be Jake Bobo, Brady Russell coming back on
43:42
Speaker 9: new deals that were outside of the restricted free agent
43:46
Speaker 9: tender offers. They still, i think need depth on the
43:50
Speaker 9: defensive line for sure, and the running back market. Set White,
43:55
Speaker 9: the former Tampa Bay buccaneer who ran wild against the
43:59
Speaker 9: Seahawks Munich A couple falls ago when the Bucks are
44:03
Speaker 9: the last in the league in rushing and Rashad White
44:05
Speaker 9: hat one hundred yard first half. He's available, he's young,
44:09
Speaker 9: he's cheap. We're now already in the second wave of
44:12
Speaker 9: free agency. I think the second wave started at four
44:14
Speaker 9: o'clock on Monday. But that that is the type of
44:17
Speaker 9: deals the Seahawks will be looking at, potentially doing.
44:20
Speaker 4: It running back. They can't. I can't imagine that they're.
44:24
Speaker 9: Not going to add it running back and free agency
44:26
Speaker 9: at some point, whether it's now or into the summer.
44:29
Speaker 9: And the longer they wait, the cheaper it'll be.
44:31
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And Rashad White's an interesting name, there's no
44:34
Speaker 1: doubt about that. All Right, Thank you, Greg, We appreciate it, man,
44:37
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again tomorrow.
44:39
Speaker 4: All right.
44:40
Speaker 9: Enjoyed talking about the USA manager not knowing the USA.
44:43
Speaker 4: It is not in the That was crazy. Ill.
44:45
Speaker 9: Last in afternoon I heard him say, on and I'll
44:48
Speaker 9: be network.
44:48
Speaker 4: We're already in the quarterfile. Yeah.
44:51
Speaker 1: Not good. Not a good look. Wednesday, Greg Bell our
44:55
Speaker 1: Seahawks insider joining us nearly every day right here on
44:58
Speaker 1: Chucking Buck Brought to you by Cope the Diamond Collection Prosecco,
45:01
Speaker 1: delivering bright, refreshing flavors of apple, citrus and peach to
45:04
Speaker 1: every celebration. Bubble up your playbook, celebrate every free agent
45:08
Speaker 1: signing and re signing with Copola Diamond Collection Prosecco. I
45:13
Speaker 1: would I just want to say, like from Greg's standpoint,
45:16
Speaker 1: if Greg is buying the medical and if anybody's buying
45:20
Speaker 1: the medical, then yes, I think that all of that
45:24
Speaker 1: what he's saying about Max Crosby and the buyer beware
45:28
Speaker 1: and we're going to have to wait and let's see,
45:31
Speaker 1: give him a couple of months to heal and then
45:34
Speaker 1: maybe we revisit the trade and all of that stuff.
45:36
Speaker 1: That's if you're buying the Ravens story. But if you're
45:40
Speaker 1: buying the story that everybody else is sharing right now
45:43
Speaker 1: about why this trade was mixed, then I would think
45:45
Speaker 1: everybody that was in on Max Crosby, and I don't
45:49
Speaker 1: know if the Seahawks ever were are right back in
45:52
Speaker 1: offering the same package that they were offering before. So yeah,
45:57
Speaker 1: I mean there's two different worlds that we're living in
45:59
Speaker 1: with this mac Crosby story. But if people if there
46:02
Speaker 1: are organizations that think the Ravens are lying, and apparently
46:06
Speaker 1: there are, then if those organizations were interested in Max
46:09
Speaker 1: Crosby before, I would think they would just relight the
46:11
Speaker 1: fire on the offer that they made previous to Baltimore
46:15
Speaker 1: outbidding them. So it just depends on which story that
46:18
Speaker 1: you believe Baltimore's or everybody else's right now? All right,
46:21
Speaker 1: coming up next. We haven't talked about this yet today.
46:24
Speaker 1: There are some developments, but we've got a handshake gate
46:28
Speaker 1: going on here in Seattle. Have Callen Ryandy smoothed it
46:32
Speaker 1: over or not? Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM. Well,
46:50
Speaker 1: I guess don't leave me. Hanging gate is something we're
46:54
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with.
46:55
Speaker 4: Huh.
46:56
Speaker 1: I finished yesterday's show thinking that Randy was just joking
47:01
Speaker 1: and it didn't translate well. But apparently there's something to it.
47:06
Speaker 1: Apparently we've got a situation on our hands. As Cal
47:11
Speaker 1: Raleigh and Randy ROSEI Arena have not spoken since the
47:17
Speaker 1: snubbing of the handshake gesture during the WBC game two
47:22
Speaker 1: nights ago that we discussed quite a bit yesterday and
47:25
Speaker 1: we're still discussing it today. Kyle did feel compelled to
47:29
Speaker 1: have a FaceTime conversation with some of the Seattle media
47:33
Speaker 1: members that he knows and trusts and had this to
47:37
Speaker 1: say about the situation.
47:38
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously regarding the thing yesterday with Randy, I mean,
47:42
Speaker 10: I love Randy. I do you know I hate that
47:45
Speaker 10: this is a thing. There's no beef when we get
47:48
Speaker 10: back to Seattle. He's my brother or family. You know,
47:54
Speaker 10: I already reached out to him, so you know, it's
47:58
Speaker 10: just a competitive environment. And you know, I know he
48:00
Speaker 10: would want the same for me when we're on the
48:02
Speaker 10: team in playoff baseball, and you know, I just have
48:05
Speaker 10: a responsibility for my teammates here right now in my country,
48:09
Speaker 10: and emotions are running high.
48:11
Speaker 1: So but like I said, I love Randy.
48:13
Speaker 10: He's he's awesome. He's been great for our team. And uh,
48:18
Speaker 10: like I said, we talked and this isn't this isn't
48:20
Speaker 10: a big deal at all. So we're uh, we're good
48:23
Speaker 10: friends and we'll continue to be good friends.
48:25
Speaker 1: And I think we're just.
48:26
Speaker 10: Enjoying competing against each other right now. And uh yeah,
48:29
Speaker 10: I mean that's really all I have.
48:30
Speaker 1: To say about it. So you laugh about it, you're
48:33
Speaker 1: talking what's up? When did you guys call it? I'm
48:36
Speaker 1: probably not gonna take questions. I'll just answer that.
48:38
Speaker 10: I mean, I shot him a message this morning and
48:42
Speaker 10: reached out, And like I said, I don't I don't
48:45
Speaker 10: anticipate this being being a thing going forward.
48:47
Speaker 11: So for those of us who don't understand what responsibility
48:50
Speaker 11: stops talking to you.
48:52
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm gonna just be leaving to that.
48:53
Speaker 10: I love Randy, I'm excited about him this year, and
48:57
Speaker 10: like I said, we're having a fun time here at
48:59
Speaker 10: the w so I'm looking forward to I'm trying to
49:01
Speaker 10: bring home the championship for our team.
49:04
Speaker 1: So thanks guys. All right, cal Raley, I guess that
49:07
Speaker 1: was actually with some media at the WBC.
49:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just a video of it.
49:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, So that's Cayl's response. I mean,
49:17
Speaker 1: sounds to me like this is going to be fine
49:20
Speaker 1: once we get back together in Seattle. But it doesn't
49:23
Speaker 1: sound like it's fine right now. I don't know. Just
49:26
Speaker 1: my read to it.
49:28
Speaker 7: It doesn't sound like they actually talked. It sounds like
49:32
Speaker 7: he reached out and said, hey, dude, sorry, this is
49:34
Speaker 7: an issue. I was just being competitive, right. We are
49:38
Speaker 7: not on the same team right now. Hopefully it's really
49:41
Speaker 7: not a big deal, even though social media and the
49:44
Speaker 7: media is blowing it up. But it doesn't sound like
49:47
Speaker 7: I think you would have said Randy got back to
49:49
Speaker 7: me and said, it's all good, brother. You made me
49:51
Speaker 7: look like it, you know, you left me hanging jerk.
49:55
Speaker 7: What It doesn't sound like Randy got back to him again.
49:59
Speaker 7: Don't know, but I think he would have said that
50:02
Speaker 7: in his little explanation there. He obviously doesn't like that it's.
50:07
Speaker 1: Laughed at off, like, yeah, we talked last night. I mean,
50:11
Speaker 1: I get how it looked, but trust me, we laughed
50:14
Speaker 1: about it. We're good, but sort of I'm going to
50:18
Speaker 1: make a statement. Don't ask me any questions, and my
50:21
Speaker 1: answers I'm giving don't really add up.
50:24
Speaker 6: There's something, there's something to it, there's something.
50:27
Speaker 8: I mean, it was interesting again that Randy chose to
50:31
Speaker 8: make his statement in multiple languages to like prove his
50:34
Speaker 8: point to cal and then from there you thought, okay, well,
50:38
Speaker 8: maybe he was joking, maybe he was laying it on
50:40
Speaker 8: extra thick, but it struck me as odd when Dan
50:42
Speaker 8: Wilson had to release something same.
50:44
Speaker 6: I'm going to reach out to both of.
50:46
Speaker 8: Them, like, if it's nothing, why does Dan Wilson, who's
50:49
Speaker 8: in Peoria at spring training, have to reach out to
50:52
Speaker 8: both guys to be like, hey, we all good. So
50:55
Speaker 8: clearly the Mariners thought we should probably check on this
50:58
Speaker 8: because it seems like there might be something there.
51:00
Speaker 7: Well, I think anytime something gets kind of blown up, right,
51:03
Speaker 7: and I don't think Cal was doing this in hopes
51:06
Speaker 7: that it blows. No, it is just he's competitive and
51:09
Speaker 7: he's not one that wants to, you know, do the
51:12
Speaker 7: you know, handshaken. Regardless of whether it's this is an
51:16
Speaker 7: unusual situation, right, it's a WBC right before you're going
51:20
Speaker 7: to go to battle for one sixty two with the guy.
51:23
Speaker 1: It's different.
51:23
Speaker 7: And yet it's like he says in that little clip
51:26
Speaker 7: right there, I know Randy would want me to be
51:28
Speaker 7: that competitor when we're battling together on the Mariners in
51:32
Speaker 7: playoff baseball. So he's just saying, this is mean something.
51:35
Speaker 7: My competitive juices are flowing. That's all I meant. I
51:38
Speaker 7: didn't mean screw you.
51:40
Speaker 1: I don't like you.
51:40
Speaker 7: There's beef. And yet that's where it goes. Right, because
51:44
Speaker 7: of its being caught on video, the media takes it
51:47
Speaker 7: ooh is there something about this? No, you're trying to
51:50
Speaker 7: make it something. Randy might have been irritated by it,
51:53
Speaker 7: but I don't. I still don't think it's going to
51:55
Speaker 7: turn into oh, clubhouse is shattered. You're not going to
51:58
Speaker 7: be able to correct this.
52:00
Speaker 6: I think that would be extreme.
52:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it will be an issue going forward,
52:04
Speaker 1: but I am a little surprised that it's still an
52:06
Speaker 1: issue today, Like it is not resolved. No, that's for sure.
52:09
Speaker 1: And so I kind of ended the show yesterday just
52:12
Speaker 1: I was convinced, like he's kidding, it didn't translate well.
52:16
Speaker 1: And yet after twenty four hours of kind of flushing
52:20
Speaker 1: this out, Cal's statement didn't really sound like there was
52:24
Speaker 1: any resolution reached. And then Randy didn't react in return.
52:29
Speaker 1: So there's something. There's something here that's pretty evident, and
52:34
Speaker 1: I do believe it'll get smoothed over once they're together,
52:36
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's gonna happen before the WBC
52:39
Speaker 1: comes to a close. And then Will Smith, who's never
52:42
Speaker 1: shy when he's asked to share his thoughts, he said
52:46
Speaker 1: yesterday Cal told Randy, I'm not going to shake your hands,
52:50
Speaker 1: so don't even try, and then he did it, and
52:53
Speaker 1: then got angry that Kyle didn't respond, So Will did.
52:57
Speaker 1: Will Smith? At least I think that was legit quote.
53:01
Speaker 1: So I guess Will Smith the other catcher on the team.
53:03
Speaker 1: I won't say, backup he's had.
53:05
Speaker 6: An issue with Randy or who didn't shake Randy's hand?
53:08
Speaker 1: I won't say backup because he's playing just as much
53:10
Speaker 1: as Cal. But he said he commented on it and
53:14
Speaker 1: said that Cal had made it clear to Randy that
53:16
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to shake hands, and he did it anyway, right,
53:20
Speaker 1: So I don't know. There you go, it's something I
53:23
Speaker 1: wish it was nothing, but it's something I wish. There's
53:25
Speaker 1: something we were laughing about today, that both of them
53:28
Speaker 1: were laughing about today. But obviously they're not to the
53:30
Speaker 1: point where they're laughing about it yet. Yeah, I don't.
53:33
Speaker 7: I mean, if Randy's upset about it, then I don't
53:36
Speaker 7: understand how you can be if that's true. If what
53:38
Speaker 7: Will Smith said is true. If you tell me I'm
53:40
Speaker 7: not giving a high five in between breaks and then
53:43
Speaker 7: I go look for a high five and you don't
53:45
Speaker 7: give it to me, I have no right to be irritated.
53:49
Speaker 7: Like zero, you told me what was up. So if
53:51
Speaker 7: that's true, then it's just absolutely silly. Now it's obviously
53:55
Speaker 7: something that he likes to do. This is there's a
53:58
Speaker 7: lot of things that are different about the way people
54:00
Speaker 7: play the game or where where their competitiveness starts and stops,
54:04
Speaker 7: and if they're not on the same page, I don't
54:05
Speaker 7: think those two are on the same page.
54:07
Speaker 1: But that's fine.
54:08
Speaker 7: You don't have to be clones of one another when
54:10
Speaker 7: you're playing together. This is just something that on a
54:13
Speaker 7: big stage, it's been blown out of proportion. Cal doesn't
54:16
Speaker 7: like it being blown out of proportion. But I don't
54:18
Speaker 7: think he's sitting here saying I should have just shook hands.
54:21
Speaker 7: I should have just done it. He's sticking to I
54:24
Speaker 7: didn't mean anything disrespectfully you as a teammate. I will say,
54:27
Speaker 7: I meant it as I'm competing. We're going against each
54:29
Speaker 7: other right now, I will say too.
54:30
Speaker 8: As far as it getting blown out of proportion, I mean,
54:32
Speaker 8: when Randy made a same it's postgame, it wasn't because
54:34
Speaker 8: he'd seen social media and video and people overreacting to
54:39
Speaker 8: Cal not shaking his hand. I mean that was Randy's
54:41
Speaker 8: reaction when asked about the situation, and then from there people.
54:45
Speaker 6: Ran with it, and that's kind of where it got
54:48
Speaker 6: blown out of proportion.
54:49
Speaker 8: And obviously now Cal, yeah, definitely not happy about it,
54:51
Speaker 8: but I don't but I just want to, I guess
54:54
Speaker 8: kind of say, like, I don't think that Randy got
54:57
Speaker 8: mad because everything got blown out of proportion. Randy got
54:59
Speaker 8: mad and had his reaction because that was his reaction
55:02
Speaker 8: to the thing, and then that has gotten, you know,
55:05
Speaker 8: caught on like wildfire.
55:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's still joking. Do we know
55:09
Speaker 1: Randy rose Arena's sense of humor. Maybe it's like Calo,
55:12
Speaker 1: But that's just it. You left me hanging in the
55:14
Speaker 1: batter's box, so I'm going to leave you hanging on
55:16
Speaker 1: the text world. In the text world, and he did
55:18
Speaker 1: just text him. It's not like he made a phone call,
55:21
Speaker 1: which I think is a mistake on Col's part. And
55:23
Speaker 1: I think Cal not acknowledging him is actually a mistake.
55:27
Speaker 6: I mean, let's give him a little glove tap.
55:29
Speaker 1: I like seeing that in competitions like this. I like
55:32
Speaker 1: seeing like you're my guy. And you know, Yadier Molina
55:36
Speaker 1: weighed in on it yesterday, and Yadier Molina is pretty
55:39
Speaker 1: much the king of this setting. Like he is a
55:43
Speaker 1: god in Puerto Rico, he is a god in Saint Louis,
55:47
Speaker 1: and he is a god for everybody that's ever played
55:50
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball with him. And Yadier Molina, uh, he
55:54
Speaker 1: weighed in on it yesterday and said, I always if
55:58
Speaker 1: you acknowledged me, I acknowledge no matter the setting, no
56:01
Speaker 1: matter the situation, and it doesn't have to be anything grand,
56:04
Speaker 1: but just an acknowledgment. That's the way I handled it.
56:07
Speaker 1: And so from an international standpoint, I would just I
56:11
Speaker 1: would wish Cal would have done it, But I don't
56:14
Speaker 1: think his reasons were for doing it were because of
56:17
Speaker 1: any beef, or because he wanted to start anything with
56:19
Speaker 1: Randy rose Arena, or because they have an issue. I
56:23
Speaker 1: just like seeing it. I like being able to acknowledge
56:26
Speaker 1: your teammate, and I wish he would have done it.
56:28
Speaker 1: But for those that are labeling him an a hole
56:30
Speaker 1: and a jerk, you clearly don't follow the Mariners. You
56:34
Speaker 1: clearly don't follow Cal Raley because he is the purest
56:37
Speaker 1: superstar that has ever existed in the history of sports. Yeah. Period.
56:42
Speaker 8: And he did acknowledge Randy. He did say nice to
56:45
Speaker 8: see you. He just didn't physically acknowledge him.
56:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, ma'am.
56:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, he just was standing on it where he wants
56:52
Speaker 7: to stand on it. He can draw his line. If
56:54
Speaker 7: you want to come up and shake people's hands before
56:55
Speaker 7: you go to bat, you can do that. The other
56:59
Speaker 7: person doesn't have to do it. Teammates are not You
57:02
Speaker 7: don't have to play the same game or play the
57:04
Speaker 7: game the same way wherever it is. I mean, I
57:07
Speaker 7: I'm way more old school. I wouldn't have been doing
57:09
Speaker 7: any of that stuff. I wouldn't have just and especially
57:12
Speaker 7: when I'm doing it when it's for my country type
57:14
Speaker 7: of a thing I would have we're standing on this.
57:17
Speaker 7: I just that's how I would have been. I don't
57:20
Speaker 7: I wouldn't have meant it as anything against my teammates.
57:23
Speaker 1: Interesting, because that's going to lead right into reckless at breakfast.
57:27
Speaker 1: That very statement right there is going to lead into
57:29
Speaker 1: breakfast at Breakfast today. Sports Radio ninety three point three
57:32
Speaker 1: kJ RFM. Oh yeah, head on out to Tlala Resort

Speaker 1: at quil Cedar Creek Casino Madness or to Leila Prasor casino.
58:28
Speaker 1: All Right, Hugh Millan has been kind enough to stay
58:31
Speaker 1: with us here for another segment because there was a
58:33
Speaker 1: lot of other ground to cover, So our QB one
58:37
Speaker 1: joining us here today on Chuck and Buck as we
58:40
Speaker 1: kind of put the last forty eight hours into perspective
58:43
Speaker 1: free agency wise, so Hugh the team says goodbye to
58:47
Speaker 1: Rek Wooling. He goes to the Philadelphia Eagles one year,
58:49
Speaker 1: fifteen mil, and they keep Josh job on a three year,
58:53
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollar deal. Is that a Is that
58:57
Speaker 1: an exchange that you are happy to make?
59:01
Speaker 12: That's a complicated answer for me, because you know, just
59:06
Speaker 12: I'll give you my take on on Greek Wolling, and
59:08
Speaker 12: most of my takes I like to be grounded and
59:10
Speaker 12: rooted in facts because I think that they're they're more compelling,
59:15
Speaker 12: more convincing. I'm gonna veer off of that a little
59:18
Speaker 12: bit and and kind of do my own just personal speculation.
59:23
Speaker 12: I've done some creeping on Tarik Wollen and is his history.
59:28
Speaker 12: He came out out Arleeds and Heights in Fort Worth,
59:31
Speaker 12: Texas and and and the reason I went down this
59:34
Speaker 12: this road is because when I saw him for the
59:38
Speaker 12: first time in person, you know, standing five feet away
59:41
Speaker 12: from me, he looks so unusually freakishly tall. He's in
59:47
Speaker 12: the hundredth percentile for corners backs four height, one hundred
59:51
Speaker 12: percentile for arm length, one hundred percentile for forty and
59:55
Speaker 12: ninety nine percentile vertical. And you look at him, he
59:58
Speaker 12: just doesn't look like an NFL. So I said, I
1:00:02
Speaker 12: gotta dive in on this guy. In part also because
1:00:07
Speaker 12: of how he played corneries me. He was bench for
1:00:09
Speaker 12: not being physical enough.
1:00:11
Speaker 4: You know.
1:00:11
Speaker 12: The maddest I've ever been at him was in the
1:00:15
Speaker 12: forty nine er game in Week one when he just
1:00:17
Speaker 12: was a non competitor on the play that Tunguus caught
1:00:21
Speaker 12: for the touchdown, right, And so I kind of had
1:00:24
Speaker 12: a theory, and it was that this guy wanted to
1:00:28
Speaker 12: be a basketball player. Then took a security throughout to
1:00:33
Speaker 12: being a corner in the NFL, which was really all
1:00:35
Speaker 12: he could do to make money. And as a junior
1:00:39
Speaker 12: in high school he was described as a high flying dunker.
1:00:42
Speaker 1: He was the newcomer of the year and junior.
1:00:46
Speaker 12: Remember now this is Fort Worth, you know, Dallas area
1:00:49
Speaker 12: that you know, this is pretty competitive hoop and and
1:00:52
Speaker 12: so that that kind of flails out on him. He
1:00:56
Speaker 12: goes Now, having coached high school football, I can tell
1:01:02
Speaker 12: you that, and every coach who's driving and listening, they'll
1:01:05
Speaker 12: nod their head. First day of practice, the wide receiver
1:01:09
Speaker 12: line has got thirty thirty five guys, and the the
1:01:12
Speaker 12: dB line has got four. Like everybody who thinks that,
1:01:17
Speaker 12: you know, they want to be on the football team,
1:01:18
Speaker 12: but really don't want to mix it up, they start
1:01:21
Speaker 12: off at wide receiver, and so he is wide receiver.
1:01:24
Speaker 12: In fact, he was a wide receiver Texas San Antonio
1:01:27
Speaker 12: his first three years and they finally moved him to
1:01:31
Speaker 12: dB because you know, he just didn't have the wide
1:01:33
Speaker 12: receiver skills. So I think that this is entirely unfair.
1:01:38
Speaker 1: I'm not in his head.
1:01:39
Speaker 12: What I'm saying could be flat, But my hunts is
1:01:43
Speaker 12: that the guy that like playing corners his third favorite position,
1:01:48
Speaker 12: you know, as to be a professional athlete. So so
1:01:52
Speaker 12: there's some issues there, but that athleticism is freaky. And
1:01:56
Speaker 12: the play made against Juan uh from Jennings John Jennings, Yeah,
1:02:04
Speaker 12: the play he made where Jennings went behind the line
1:02:08
Speaker 12: of scrimmage and it was a man and man and
1:02:10
Speaker 12: he he put the turbo button on, grabbed him on
1:02:12
Speaker 12: their shoulders, threw him down. Uh, just like he was,
1:02:16
Speaker 12: you know, a straw man, a pumpkin patch like he
1:02:20
Speaker 12: his his high side is really enticing. And right even
1:02:25
Speaker 12: up to the last impactful play he made, uh, which
1:02:30
Speaker 12: which I would describe as the one in the third
1:02:32
Speaker 12: and four uh in the in the NFC Championship game
1:02:35
Speaker 12: with the the Rams down on the goal line, see
1:02:38
Speaker 12: how played man and man. Now fourth down they played
1:02:41
Speaker 12: zone but on third down they played man and a
1:02:43
Speaker 12: man and and uh they they had Rik wollen on
1:02:49
Speaker 12: on uh uh on Puka Nikoua and and so uh,
1:02:57
Speaker 12: you know that just tells you. And that's after he
1:02:58
Speaker 12: had already been burned. So that Mike McDonald's telling you
1:03:01
Speaker 12: what he thinks of him, that that he has that
1:03:04
Speaker 12: ability and so Yeah, it's tough to watch an athlete
1:03:07
Speaker 12: like that get out of the building. But I am
1:03:10
Speaker 12: not surprised whatsoever. You know, the three losses he had
1:03:14
Speaker 12: key breakdowns, and all three losses he had a breakdown.
1:03:17
Speaker 12: And you know, they're they're run at history in the
1:03:20
Speaker 12: Super Bowl to be the first team to pitch a
1:03:22
Speaker 12: shut out. He gives up the touchdown. I just feel
1:03:25
Speaker 12: like they they think that the the the inconsistencies are
1:03:31
Speaker 12: just you know, the Jews ain't worth the squeeze there,
1:03:33
Speaker 12: even at that price.
1:03:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean they but then compare that to
1:03:37
Speaker 7: what you know of seeing through your studying with Josh
1:03:41
Speaker 7: job then I mean because undrafted not the same measurables obviously,
1:03:45
Speaker 7: and yet maybe just more of a football player, good athlete.
1:03:48
Speaker 1: Though, played it at Alabama. You know, Carl Scott was
1:03:51
Speaker 1: the h his coach there.
1:03:53
Speaker 12: He's now the defensive passing coordinator, and so you know,
1:03:58
Speaker 12: he's taught by the best at Alabama. You know, good size,
1:04:03
Speaker 12: not elite, good speed, you know, good traits, not elite,
1:04:06
Speaker 12: but you know Alabama level traits, right, so not Riek
1:04:09
Speaker 12: Wollan trades.
1:04:10
Speaker 1: But pretty good. I would just say that you know,
1:04:14
Speaker 1: they you know his the price is right there. That's
1:04:17
Speaker 1: that's the value.
1:04:19
Speaker 12: You know, He's not a three million dollar corner. He's
1:04:21
Speaker 12: not a an eighteen million dollar corner. He's you know,
1:04:25
Speaker 12: the price is right. And and but I would say,
1:04:28
Speaker 12: yes me, Uh, who's the number eleven player on the offense,
1:04:34
Speaker 12: I'd say, Anthony Bradford. Who's the number eleven player on
1:04:38
Speaker 12: the defense? I'd say, Josh job Well, I mean, tell me,
1:04:44
Speaker 12: tell me who. I mean, that's that's and that's a
1:04:46
Speaker 12: really good defense, right, that's a historic defense. So it's
1:04:50
Speaker 12: not it sounds like a slam, you know it is.
1:04:53
Speaker 12: I'm not I'm not. I'm not trying to back off
1:04:55
Speaker 12: of that. But I think he's the least capable start
1:05:00
Speaker 12: or for his relative to other players on that field,
1:05:04
Speaker 12: I think he's the least capable. So on some level
1:05:08
Speaker 12: is I'm not saying he's a pigeon, you know, but
1:05:10
Speaker 12: but I think that if you're trying to find on
1:05:13
Speaker 12: a on a on an array of great, great talent,
1:05:16
Speaker 12: if you're trying to find a guy a weakness to
1:05:19
Speaker 12: try and expose, I think teams look would look at him.
1:05:23
Speaker 12: I know some teams absolutely have done that. And uh,
1:05:28
Speaker 12: and and that, and that's what I would do if
1:05:30
Speaker 12: I was trying to attack Seattle. He'd be the one
1:05:33
Speaker 12: guy that that you say, well there might be a
1:05:36
Speaker 12: chance with him.
1:05:37
Speaker 1: Well, you are the man. Uh you've made it clear
1:05:40
Speaker 1: again today. Uh So we do appreciate your extra time

1:06:25
Speaker 7: net steered off of the corner by sorrows.
1:06:26
Speaker 1: Mccad got a big hit in the far corner by Barret. Now, Batty,
1:06:32
Speaker 1: but here's gonna chalk the logs with Justin Barren.
1:06:35
Speaker 11: But here's against the bars. But here's every Whites against Barren,
1:06:39
Speaker 11: and they'll rustle each other down on the ground. Oh
1:06:44
Speaker 11: my goodness, Matty, but hears that's some vinegar in those sweeties.
1:06:52
Speaker 4: This morning.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: At your make delivery of the game, last night's top
1:06:58
Speaker 1: call from the Crack and Audio Network, brought to you
1:07:00
Speaker 1: by McDonald's. Ordering the food you craved with McDelivery is
1:07:03
Speaker 1: a whole new way to love McDonald's. Ordered directly from
1:07:05
Speaker 1: the McDonald's app and select McDelivery today start earning points
1:07:09
Speaker 1: for free food. See app for details. Crack and lose
1:07:13
Speaker 1: to the Nashville Predators last night four to two. There
1:07:16
Speaker 1: was an empty net goal at the very end, so
1:07:18
Speaker 1: they had a chance to tie things up there toward
1:07:21
Speaker 1: the end of regulation, but it is a loss four
1:07:24
Speaker 1: to two. That's three straight for the Kraken, who still
1:07:27
Speaker 1: have not gotten a contribution from newcomer Bobby McMahon. Me
1:07:31
Speaker 1: and Bobby McMahon can't get on the ice here since
1:07:34
Speaker 1: he was acquired, and they've lost both games since the
1:07:39
Speaker 1: NHL trading deadline, so we got a lot to get
1:07:41
Speaker 1: to the bottom of and joining us now is color
1:07:44
Speaker 1: Analysts for your crack and Al Konisky, Good morning out,
1:07:49
Speaker 1: Good morning Chuck.
1:07:50
Speaker 2: Hey, just a side question before we get started. Do
1:07:52
Speaker 2: you happen to know anybody in the government that deals
1:07:55
Speaker 2: with immigration paperwork too? Ask you for a friend?
1:08:00
Speaker 1: Wish I could help you, Al, I think I probably
1:08:02
Speaker 1: would have already been there. Why is it such a
1:08:05
Speaker 1: convoluted process? I mean, I said all last week. If
1:08:08
Speaker 1: they don't make a trade and we missed the playoffs
1:08:11
Speaker 1: by a point or two, man, that's not gonna look
1:08:14
Speaker 1: real good. Well, if they make a trade and you
1:08:17
Speaker 1: still miss the playoffs by a point or two, and
1:08:19
Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon might have been able to contribute to one
1:08:22
Speaker 1: of those losses, and the time that they were holding
1:08:25
Speaker 1: them off on the sideline, that's gonna stink out loud.
1:08:28
Speaker 9: Al.
1:08:29
Speaker 1: Why is it so difficult to get him on the ice.
1:08:33
Speaker 2: Well, if you've ever renewed a passport, before you've renewed
1:08:35
Speaker 2: a driver's license, you're at the mercy of the government.
1:08:39
Speaker 2: And unfortunately NHL teams are also at the mercy. Not
1:08:43
Speaker 2: many teams have a way to expedite this process. Because
1:08:47
Speaker 2: the trade deadline happened Friday, and government doesn't tend to work.
1:08:52
Speaker 4: On the weekends. It pushes to Monday, and now here.
1:08:54
Speaker 2: We are Wednesday, and we don't have an update yet.
1:08:58
Speaker 2: We're hoping to have him in the line up tomorrow night,
1:09:01
Speaker 2: but it is frustrating to see other teams who have
1:09:04
Speaker 2: traded for guys coming out of Canada already playing in
1:09:08
Speaker 2: their lineups last night.
1:09:10
Speaker 1: Can't I just like, if I proposed to him, we
1:09:13
Speaker 1: get married, would that work?
1:09:16
Speaker 4: Yeah?
1:09:18
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're willing to fall on that sort.
1:09:21
Speaker 4: I do.
1:09:23
Speaker 2: I support you.
1:09:24
Speaker 7: Just text him right now, text him right now, say
1:09:26
Speaker 7: I need you to text back.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: I do, And then right now I'm saying it, I do.
1:09:30
Speaker 1: Boom done.
1:09:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's gonna have to go by Bobby Jacobson for
1:09:34
Speaker 7: the first rest of the season, but it'll be fine.
1:09:37
Speaker 4: I like that. I like ring that one.
1:09:39
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, goodbye, Mick Jacobson. Okay, Bobby mc jacobson. Yeah,
1:09:44
Speaker 1: I kind of like this.
1:09:44
Speaker 6: Out of it, he might be Bucky mc jacobson from
1:09:47
Speaker 6: Helen All.
1:09:48
Speaker 1: Right, So what kind of player did they get when
1:09:51
Speaker 1: he does finally get to suit up? Is the is
1:09:53
Speaker 1: he a difference maker, is the He the kind of
1:09:55
Speaker 1: guy that could be the difference in making the playoffs
1:09:58
Speaker 1: and not making the playoffs the.
1:10:01
Speaker 2: Second he's outed to the roster. He's the second leading
1:10:04
Speaker 2: goal scorer on the team nineteen goals started neverly with
1:10:07
Speaker 2: twenty two come into the game last night, so he's
1:10:09
Speaker 2: the second leading goal scorer. He's a guy that is
1:10:13
Speaker 2: a fast skater.
1:10:15
Speaker 4: When you look at some of the statistics.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: Around the league, not just the cracking around the league,
1:10:19
Speaker 2: he's the fourth fastest skater, after Connor McDavid, after Logan Cooley,
1:10:24
Speaker 2: after a couple of other guys. He's the fourth fastest skater.
1:10:28
Speaker 2: So he's gonna add a speed element to the crack
1:10:30
Speaker 2: in which is exciting because they've got other guys that
1:10:33
Speaker 2: are fast as well, and when you start to put
1:10:35
Speaker 2: them on the same line together and makes it tough
1:10:38
Speaker 2: for opposing teams to compete with that speed. So speed
1:10:42
Speaker 2: scoring tanasty, you know. I think about him like maybe
1:10:46
Speaker 2: a combination between Ellie Tolvenan and Jayden Schwartz going to
1:10:51
Speaker 2: the net playing physical. You're gonna get three to five
1:10:53
Speaker 2: hits out of them a game. Maybe not Jacob Bonson level.
1:10:56
Speaker 2: But three to five hits every game, that's exactly what
1:10:59
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to.
1:11:01
Speaker 1: Al, What does I mean?
1:11:02
Speaker 7: He's a big dude, So I mean you're talking about
1:11:03
Speaker 7: how fast he is, and obviously it makes sense why
1:11:08
Speaker 7: that would be important, especially if you're pairing them with
1:11:10
Speaker 7: some other fast guys and you have an exceptionally fast line.
1:11:14
Speaker 7: But I mean, he when you're talking about the hits
1:11:15
Speaker 7: that he brings to the table, so he's big, fast, strong,
1:11:18
Speaker 7: seems like exactly what we want, especially if he likes
1:11:21
Speaker 7: to shoot the puck.
1:11:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly it.
1:11:24
Speaker 2: You know, you create space out there when you play physical,
1:11:27
Speaker 2: so lots of times those three to five hits come
1:11:30
Speaker 2: in the first two periods.
1:11:31
Speaker 4: Of the game.
1:11:31
Speaker 2: About the third period, you've created some space for yourself,
1:11:34
Speaker 2: guys looking over their shoulders, so you get the pucks quicker.
1:11:38
Speaker 2: That's part of his game. But I think you couple
1:11:40
Speaker 2: that with speed, which you're right. For a big guy,
1:11:42
Speaker 2: you don't have to hear about speed. You couple that
1:11:45
Speaker 2: with speed, and he can either create a lot of things.
1:11:51
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll go in a tunnel. I think Al went
1:11:54
Speaker 1: in a tunnel. Oh, boy, I knew he's driving down
1:11:58
Speaker 1: the road that al Kanisky he should just walk on Wednesdays.
1:12:02
Speaker 1: He should walk. Yeah, I don't know what he's He's back, Gal,
1:12:05
Speaker 1: you're there. Yeah, sorry, Lucy, Guys, he lost us. It's
1:12:10
Speaker 1: all right. It happens, no big game.
1:12:14
Speaker 4: You know what. It's a Seattle rain.
1:12:16
Speaker 1: I believe it on the rain. Thank you, Vanilly. I've
1:12:22
Speaker 1: seen your skin tone. You're not Milly, You're more Vanilly.
1:12:25
Speaker 1: Al Kaniski is with us here on Chucket Buck in
1:12:28
Speaker 1: the morning's sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r
1:12:31
Speaker 1: F m Uh, what did you like about Maddie's game
1:12:34
Speaker 1: last night? I mean, he scores a goal, he gets
1:12:36
Speaker 1: in a fight. I was hoping he had assists last night,
1:12:39
Speaker 1: so he had the Gordie aw Hat trick, but it
1:12:41
Speaker 1: didn't quite happen for him. But that was a different
1:12:44
Speaker 1: side of Maddie b last night.
1:12:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:12:47
Speaker 2: I mean, you see him scoring, like you said, the
1:12:49
Speaker 2: deflection goal. He set that snipe goal from last night.
1:12:52
Speaker 2: He saw a little anger in his game last night
1:12:54
Speaker 2: when they went after his linemate. But I think it
1:12:57
Speaker 2: helps a lot because what he did last night is
1:13:00
Speaker 2: a stepping stone for this team. It's the it's the
1:13:03
Speaker 2: message that we stand up for each other. We you know,
1:13:07
Speaker 2: when one of your guys gets hit in a dirty way,
1:13:10
Speaker 2: we stand up from it. And it doesn't matter if
1:13:12
Speaker 2: you're madd Evanier's or if you're Bobby McMahon.
1:13:14
Speaker 4: We stand up for each other.
1:13:15
Speaker 2: And when you see your what you know, one of
1:13:17
Speaker 2: your top top guys in your team, react that way
1:13:20
Speaker 2: to that situation that makes you want to react that way.
1:13:23
Speaker 2: I guarantee you the next time that Matt Eveneers gets hit,
1:13:27
Speaker 2: you know, in a in a bad way, in a
1:13:28
Speaker 2: dirty way, somebody starting with Jared McCann, it's going to
1:13:31
Speaker 2: stand up for him in the same way.
1:13:33
Speaker 1: Is that a trickle down from Lambert?
1:13:35
Speaker 7: I mean the toughness because I mean, typically you're gonna
1:13:37
Speaker 7: always have some tough hockey guys. I mean, you guys
1:13:39
Speaker 7: are all tough, but def all of a sudden, you
1:13:42
Speaker 7: have your forwards and your centers starts sticking up for
1:13:44
Speaker 7: each other. It's a specialist type guys. That's got to
1:13:46
Speaker 7: be a little bit of a different thing when it
1:13:47
Speaker 7: comes to toughness.
1:13:48
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:13:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, Not only is it a trickle down, it's a
1:13:51
Speaker 2: trickle out message. Right, you know, these these highlights of
1:13:55
Speaker 2: madd e veneers fighting or floating around the league right now,
1:13:58
Speaker 2: and other teams are looking going, Oh, just the kind
1:14:01
Speaker 2: of team we're gonna play where they stand up for
1:14:04
Speaker 2: each other if we do, if we step out of line,
1:14:06
Speaker 2: and it does affect how other teams play you.
1:14:09
Speaker 9: So I love it.
1:14:10
Speaker 2: I love the message that it sends the rest of
1:14:13
Speaker 2: the team. Yes, it does trickle down to everybody else,
1:14:16
Speaker 2: but it also trickles out to the rest of the league.
1:14:19
Speaker 1: Al Kaniski, our guest here on Chuck and Buck, I mean,
1:14:21
Speaker 1: we got nineteen games to go, and part of that
1:14:24
Speaker 1: is going to be a pretty tough six game road trip.
1:14:28
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't exactly take advantage of being at
1:14:32
Speaker 1: home during this stretch of time. So all, I mean,
1:14:35
Speaker 1: where should our level of concern be for a team
1:14:38
Speaker 1: we've been waiting to play more consistently, and yet at
1:14:42
Speaker 1: this crucial time of the year, they've dropped three games
1:14:45
Speaker 1: in a row at home, not necessarily to great teams,
1:14:48
Speaker 1: and one of those games, Lane Lambert said was the
1:14:51
Speaker 1: worst game they've played all season long. Should we be
1:14:53
Speaker 1: worried right now?
1:14:55
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on you know what pair of glasses
1:14:58
Speaker 2: you're looking through right now. So let me put my
1:15:00
Speaker 2: rose colored glasses.
1:15:01
Speaker 1: Okay, good, there we go.
1:15:02
Speaker 4: All right.
1:15:03
Speaker 2: So you've got a couple of teams under you. You've
1:15:05
Speaker 2: got Los Angeles, You've got San Jose, you've got Nashville
1:15:09
Speaker 2: nipping at your heels. But they all didn't win hockey
1:15:13
Speaker 2: games last night.
1:15:13
Speaker 4: Lost point because they went.
1:15:15
Speaker 2: To overtime, but they didn't win, so they didn't jump
1:15:18
Speaker 2: ahead of you.
1:15:18
Speaker 4: So the teams that you.
1:15:19
Speaker 2: Were trying to get some distance from, they weren't able
1:15:22
Speaker 2: to leap frogy.
1:15:23
Speaker 4: That's good.
1:15:24
Speaker 2: Bad that you didn't get it get any points either,
1:15:26
Speaker 2: But basically it's status quo as far as the standings go.
1:15:30
Speaker 2: The Cracking are still in that second wild card spot.
1:15:33
Speaker 2: But you can't count on that. You can count on
1:15:37
Speaker 2: your play and winning games. So the crack Can are
1:15:39
Speaker 2: gonna have a tough road here. They got Colorado tomorrow night.
1:15:42
Speaker 2: They are a wagon. The Cracking have played well against
1:15:45
Speaker 2: some of the best teams in the league. You know,
1:15:47
Speaker 2: see the Carolina Hurricanes game a few good games.
1:15:49
Speaker 4: Back where they won two to one.
1:15:51
Speaker 2: So I'm expecting a good game out of the Cracking,
1:15:54
Speaker 2: but it is not going to be an easy game.
1:15:56
Speaker 2: Then they've got one on the road with Vancouver. Then
1:15:58
Speaker 2: they're back home for two against the Florida teams. Both
1:16:02
Speaker 2: those teams are playing really well right now. So even
1:16:05
Speaker 2: when you look at the next four, yes, you have
1:16:07
Speaker 2: to win up to the Vancouver. Vancouver's at the bottom
1:16:09
Speaker 2: of the league right now. There's no reason why you
1:16:11
Speaker 2: shouldn't win that game. But those other three, they're gonna
1:16:15
Speaker 2: be fistfights. It's gonna be a tough game, all right.
1:16:18
Speaker 1: All we'll be careful out there in the rain. We'll
1:16:22
Speaker 1: let you go at a great call tomorrow against the Avalanche,
1:16:25
Speaker 1: and we'll do this again next week, all right, all right,
1:16:29
Speaker 1: boys to be good, all right. Al Konski joining us
1:16:31
Speaker 1: right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning every
1:16:33
Speaker 1: Wednesday at nine thirty color Analysts for your Seattle kracking.
1:16:36
Speaker 1: Now you can check out tomorrow right here on kJ
1:16:38
Speaker 1: are seven o'clock start against the Colorado Avalanche. It is
1:16:43
Speaker 1: at Climate Pledge Arena before they go on the road
1:16:46
Speaker 1: for one game and then come right back home. But
1:16:49
Speaker 1: a lot of road games coming up for the Crack.
1:16:52
Speaker 1: And it would be nice if we could have Bobby
1:16:54
Speaker 1: McMahon in the lineup for goodness sake. Very soon, as
1:16:58
Speaker 1: early as tomorrow. I mean, think about the different rules there.
1:17:02
Speaker 1: I mean, we've watched in baseball a guy get traded
1:17:05
Speaker 1: from one team to the next that they happen to
1:17:07
Speaker 1: be playing that night, and he'll just go put on
1:17:10
Speaker 1: another uniform. Some dude will press his name atop the
1:17:14
Speaker 1: top the new UNI and he's in uniform for that
1:17:17
Speaker 1: team that night, that day within Joe Youngblood once had
1:17:22
Speaker 1: two hits and two different uniforms in the same day.
1:17:25
Speaker 1: And yet here in hockey, we can't get Bobby McMahon
1:17:29
Speaker 1: on the ice. We could really use Bobby McMahon if
1:17:31
Speaker 1: he's as good as score as they're saying he is.
1:17:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you. I mean it's not like he's
1:17:36
Speaker 7: not here. It's not like you didn't get him. It's
1:17:38
Speaker 7: like just the work visa part. I mean, that's that's
1:17:41
Speaker 7: a technicality. I mean, this isn't You're not trying to
1:17:44
Speaker 7: pull some sneaky one, like hide some something. I mean,
1:17:47
Speaker 7: he's gonna be on TV.
1:17:48
Speaker 1: Why Wiki's got juice? Yeah, like Wiki.
1:17:51
Speaker 8: Well, and also just the NHL trade deadlines on a Friday.
1:17:54
Speaker 8: It's not like you didn't know when it was gonna
1:17:57
Speaker 8: be so like you would think there would be some
1:17:59
Speaker 8: sort of system for like, Okay, we know it's going
1:18:01
Speaker 8: to be on a Friday, so anyone who is traded
1:18:03
Speaker 8: before the noon deadline, we've got to have a streamline
1:18:08
Speaker 8: system to get their info in right away. I don't
1:18:11
Speaker 8: know you think the NHL would work out something like that.
1:18:13
Speaker 1: Lywiki's figured out the red tape on like seventeen different
1:18:16
Speaker 1: franchises in town. Yeah, and he can't get Bobby McMahon
1:18:20
Speaker 1: in a cracking uniform.
1:18:22
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:18:22
Speaker 7: I wasn't thinking about throwing the blame at his feet,
1:18:25
Speaker 7: but now you mention it. Let's go, Todd, good place
