• 2:18
  Speaker 5: You never heard that holiday classic.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I was convinced you made at least the second half
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, that is a song. That is a song.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: My sister Christie.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Uh, sister Christie is the time has come?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: She is the biggest Christmas nut in the world. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: so she would get around that time and she'd just
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: get frothy around the mouth, and her eyes.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Would get clazed and she would just do nothing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, and she's got She's one of those
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: people with a song in her heart at all times.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: She sings songy. Yeah, yeah, you met sing songy people.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit sing songy myself. But then there
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: are people that like turn and everything into a song like.
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: Oh, taking up the trash, I'm taking out the trash.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You know, they'll sing a song about them doing just
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: random stuff around the house. Yeah, that's my sister. So
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you can imagine when Christmas. And she was also born
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on December.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Third, okay, in that spirit, yeah, And.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We would always put the Christmas tree up on December third,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and so she associated with herself with the holiday since
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: she was a kid, and so pretty much it dominates
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: her every single thought all year long. So when she
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: got to Christmas eve, I would hear that song.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: She's still you know, but did she make it up?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: No, it's a real song.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It's a real song.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You're gonna look it up, Okay, Oh yeah, oh please
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: look it up.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: But I don't know that I want you because it's
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: like when you when you hear something and you think, wow,
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: that is really spectacular, and then someone tells you, oh, well,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: I didn't make it up. That's that's something else, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: then you go listen to the original and you're like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: that isn't even close to his great is what I
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: just heard?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Neither was your feelings about it. No, you did not
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: think that was spectacular.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's my new favorite. It's getting saved
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: as a DRAFTMA song.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You know what, I'm glad that you are at least
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: saying that, because I have it written down to thank Ashley.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I have that written down today on the show sheet,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: because I mean, we have gone through this entire month
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of Draftmas and you have had to take all of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this on yourself. You have had I mean usually you've
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: got Bucky to buffer. I almost said Buffy to Bucker
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: either way, Yeah, you usually have Bucky to buffer you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: from this. And what ends up happening is it's almost like, uh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: it's like I'm the kid who's out of control with
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: his hobby and dad hates that I like it so much,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and that's Bucky, like I'm stupid draft.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then Ashley is always the I think that's
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: that's a great idea.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know, I'm just here to support my teammates.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So without though the buffer, then it's I'm sure harder
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: for you to be as positive about having to do
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the draft no and Draftmas every day because you get
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to play the role of yeah, you stick in the mud.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be a stick in the mud,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: but now there's no stick in the mud to kind
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of balance it out.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the draftma spirit is contagious.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I'm all in, Yeah, it's fine, it is funny. I mean,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we've started doing this years ago. We started doing this
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: before Ashley was even here. And I have our own
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: coworkers and employees. We've got one of them on the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: show today, and in the last year and a half,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I have had Softy Ian Hugh. I'm trying to think
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of who else, and they've all basically said this. When
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you started doing this, I thought it was so stupid,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and they all within the.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Last year and a half have said but now I
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: love it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I look forward to it, you know, every year, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: so I don't know, maybe it took a little while
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to kind of catch on. And if you're still not,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: kind of wondering about the joke of it all. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: always give this speech once a year, and I usually
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: do it on Draft Day, but or on the.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Monday staring start and then or the Monday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: To wrap it up, to kind of say thank you, yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and to also apologize to those that don't love the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: draft as much as I do, but I always give
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the speech, so I'll just give it quickly today. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: just think that there's there's an element of it. Number One,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I do love it, I mean, and nothing's fake about it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I've loved it since the notion that mel Kiper. Mel
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Kiper just did an interview like yesterday, and I thought
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it was very interesting because when he started doing NFL
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Draft coverage, he was basically told I mean, that was
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at a time where they just kind of put it
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: in the newspaper the next day and nobody really paid
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: attention to it. And here he is a young man.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: This was in the seventies. This was like Steve Largent
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: coming into the NFL. Okay, and here he was still
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: with helmet hair back at the time, of course, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: mel Kiper.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Junior was like, this is fascinating.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Why don't more people think this is as great as
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I do?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And it was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: As I've often pointed out with the NFL Draft, it
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: is the marriage we all. A lot of us are
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: football fans right that are listening, that are on the air,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that our talk show hosts, we all love football. If
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you don't love football and you're a sports talk show
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: host in America. You are really putting yourself through torture.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're making your job way harder.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, I mean it is just a behemoth. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: mean there's no getting around it. When in doubt you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: talk football. I mean, that's just the general rule of
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: sports talk hosting in the modern day, because it's just
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a you can't go wrong with it, there's all.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: He was just an audience for it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: No matter how many people might roll their eyes, they
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: still listen whenever you're talking NFL.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: So we all love football, and.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Most of us love college football, and most of us
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: love the National Football League. The more time has passed on,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it's become a lot more about. I mean even I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: old enough now that when I was in Arizona doing
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: sports talk radio, I would show up at Arizona Cardinals
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: training camp and I wouldn't know the whole roster.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I would be like, all right, we're here to learn
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: about the team this year.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Now, if you're a Seattle sports talk show host and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you don't know the entire Seahawks.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Roster, if you show up to try to learn the team, yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly, I mean, because believe me, a lot of the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: audience does a lot of the audience does. So we've
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: just got a more sophisticated sports talk listener than ever before.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: And so here's mel kiper junior.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Before sophistication had taken hold, before it had really sunk
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: its teeth in, and we were just watching football because
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it was a fun thing to do on Saturday and Sunday.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Before we became roster manipulators, each and every one of us,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and we played armchair not just head coach anymore, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: armchair general manager. This is mel kiper junior, young mel
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: kiper Junior, figuring out man, there is something here that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is special and I love it and I don't know
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: why other people don't love it. And I'm just going
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to make my career out of this and see what happens.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And it is the marriage between two things we love.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It's the college football players that we've watched and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: NFL and that roster building aspect of it and where
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: are the holes and what needs addressed? And you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: there's also this sick, sick fascination that a lot of
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: sports fans have with seeing athletes put on different.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Clothes and hats.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where going from Oh, you wore Buckeyes colors?
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: And now you're a seahawk. Oh, I gotta see that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I gotta see JS in for the first time in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a seahawk. There's also this fascint and I have it too.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Don't feel weird about it unless you want to fear
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: weird with me. Yeah, because we're all just kind of crazy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So anyway, he picked up on this as soon as
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: he started doing it as a kid.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't have cable when I was a kid, so
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I probably didn't really catch on to it, like until
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the early eighties and really early eighties. By eighty three,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the famous Marino l way, I'm in. I'm twelve years old.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I'm in Kiper's probably twenty five. I'm in This is
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: unbelievable theater. This is unbelievable drama. So I've just become
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: a huge fan. So it kind of starts with that,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and that's and then I also just over the years
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: like this. This is so much like Christmas. It is
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the anticipation. It is I know that we're going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: get these gifts to unwrap that somebody else is going
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to buy for us, and then we're going to be
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: able to as fans quote unquote play with our toys,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: come draft, kind of figure out how it all works,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: analyze it all, break it all down, lean on those
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: who know best, and so to me, it just went
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: hand in hand. And yet there's also an aspect of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this which is totally tongue in cheek because Eve and I,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: as big a fan as I am of the draft,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: recognize and understand should it be this big? Should millions
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: show up at Pittsburgh this weekend?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Schools be virtual learning?
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Should everybody in the world have a mock draft? Should
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: we have round the clock coverage of this sporting event?
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Should the NFL Draft? And I would argue it is
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: be the most talked about American sporting event every single
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: year because it is, yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I mean the super bigger.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But we talk more about the Draft than we do
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl because it's only two week period of time.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're little nuggets during the course of the year,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: like is this a Super Bowl team? This is Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: we certainly filter it into our football conversations, But in
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: terms of the actual event itself, there's more time spent
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: on the NFL Draft than anything else in the entire
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: sports world. And so for those that still kind of
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: roll their eyes over it, and I don't really want to.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: I don't like it. I don't invest any time in it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: That's too much to know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Just tell me when it's over, just so I want
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to see it on the football field. Fine, But there's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: obviously an audience for it, there's obviously a market for it,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and that's what we're appeasing and at the same time
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: sort of making fun of how this event, an event
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: where twenty two year old's try on hats and hug
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a ginger, has become the most talked about sporting event
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: of the entire calendar year. It's remarkable. Mel kiper Junior
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: finds it remarkable it was going to become this big.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: He never dreamed that he would become a multi millionaire
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: doing this. He never dreamed that he would be considered
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame candidate by doing this, and yet
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that's where we are with it. And so for me,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: he said yesterday, like I feel vindicated because everybody sent
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: me hate mail and thought I was stupid and why
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: am I talking about this? Nobody cares And there are
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: still people to this day that still nobody cares about this.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Are you out of your effing mind?
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: We get texts on the text line nobody cares about
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: the draft or and I'm like, I think you don't
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: care about the draft, right right?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody?
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Right right? I mean, Fane's the guy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He just told me when I saw him Friday at
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the Tacoma Rainiers game.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: I don't just don't like it. Yeah, I mean it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: fine that you like it, but I don't like it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Uh And okay, well, I get that there are people
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: out there that don't, but you got to acknowledge how
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: Bigot's become. Yes, and there is no doubt the monster
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: that it is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And so not only do we spend a lot of
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: time on it, because I think it's warranted, but we
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: also do infuse into it that it's as big as Christmas, right,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And that's tongue in cheek, and we go over the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: top on purpose because it's gone over the top.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: And so hopefully you have had fun with it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you have fun with it every year that we
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: do this, every month that I forced this on Dad
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and Mom, you know. And Bucky does like it more
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: than he carries on. He kind of plays the grumpy role.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And Ashley probably doesn't like it nearly as much. As
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: she carries on because she's trying to humor me a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: little bit. But I love it. I look forward to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: it every year. I mean, I am tired of writing
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: draftmas catalog previews. I'm glad last night's was the last
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: time that I.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Had to do that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But certainly you know it culminates now with this week.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I can't wait until tomorrow.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: So yes, it is the day.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Before, the night before draftmus.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And I am busy, busy, busy putting together the perfect mock.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I will say as much as with the
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: first year, I was like, what on earth are we doing?
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: But now I like it because I actually look forward
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: to watching the draft. I just didn't really care about
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: watching the draft. I cared about the Seahawks pick and
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: that was about it. And now it's more interesting to
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: me because I know more about it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I've said this about college basketball. It's not as
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: good as it used to be. Not because the product's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: not good. It's because we don't have familiarity with it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: But the old longer that we get into this draft process,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the more for college football that we watch, the more
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: draft coverage that we consume.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: On average, not all of you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I get some of you don't like it, but on average,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the amount of draft information that people consume. Now you're
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: familiar with more names where when you started you might
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: have known, you know, ten to fifteen guys.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I probably would yeah, maybe, yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And now you know, I've introduced you just personally to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: hundreds that are going to be available, and so when
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: they do get picked, oh yeah, I heard that guy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I heard him talking about that during Draftmas. So that's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: sort of you know, the idea behind it as well.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So you know what, for those that aren't into it, sorry,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we're going to do this every year.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: For those that are, hopefully we put.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: A smile on your face, make you laugh a little
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: bit and give you some information that you can use
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: over the course of the next three days here. But
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'm pumped and it's been a great draft mess, even
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: though we've been a man short throughout the entire process,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and I'm certainly looking forward to the actual picks because
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: it does get to a point where you're like, Okay,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: let's find out we have all the information out there,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Let's find out what's real, what was pretend, what was smoke?
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: All of that. Where are the trades, and so now
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: we get ready for tomorrow and I'm.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Jazz cool Draftmas Day, the actual draft day to culminate
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: this entire Draft miss Holiday. So anyway, that's an little
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: explanation behind the that's a little method to the madness
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that is the last month that you've listened to here
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: on Chuck and Buck. I hope you've either tolerated it
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: or loved it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's about to get real drafty up in here, though,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So watch out.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: We got one thousand dollars in cash to give away.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: It's our Grand Slam Cash contest. Enter the word coin
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: at ninety three to three KJR dot com for your
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: shot at a thousand dollars in Grand Slam cash. Let's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: find out what is on tap for today's Draft miss
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Eve showing what's on tep, what's on tech.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: We are one sleep away from the NFL Draft.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders have been on the clock since
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the end of the regular season. They are expected to
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: take Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner out of Indiana,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: with the number one selection. So really the mystery begins
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: at number two with the New York Jets. Who are
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: they going to take it seems like it's going to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: be an edge rusher, either Rvel Reached, the twenty year
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: old sensation out of Ohio State, or David Bailey, the
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: more proven pass rusher out of Texas Tech, who obviously
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: had an outstanding season this past year.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: We will talk.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: About this with Softy at nine o'clock today as part
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: of our friends and Family segment here on this Wednesday.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He's got the Maler Millen mock draft today at three
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: o'clock with Hugh Millen, and so we'll preview that with Softy,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: also get his thoughts on what he wants the Seahawks
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to do at number nine.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Greg Bell will be with us at seven oh five.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: He's already put together his Seahawks mock, but we of
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: course we'll get the latest, greatest information. It's kind of nice, though,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: throughout this entire draft process that I have declared for
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: who I am endorsing. I heard the promo before we
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: got started, and it's almost like, Okay, I've taken a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: look at all the candidates, and I am promoting this person, yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to be the next president of the United.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Kind of how I felt about it when I did
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the drum up.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I do Declaria Draft miss Catalog today at eight o'clock.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: It's our final position group, the running backs, the position
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: group we've been most interested in for the Seahawks this
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: entire month. So we'll break it down for you clock
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: today and stocking stuffers come your way today at seven thirty.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: All sorts of rumors flying around here on the eve
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft. Mike Rabel spoke yesterday about the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Diana Russini situation. We'll talk about that, we'll find some
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: time on the program today. I would just say, as
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: part of our headlines brought to you by Frost Brewed
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: cors Light, choose Chill.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Boy.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: He sure through Diana Russini under the bus yesterday because
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: they both took a really aggressive stance, like it's nothing stop.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if he spoke.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: To her about what he was gonna do. I'm assuming
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: that he did.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he he didn't come out and admit to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: anything yesterday, but he pretty much, I mean, he wouldn't
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: look anybody in the eye. He looked melancholy and acknowledged
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I've had a lot of uncomfortable conversations here in the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: last week with a lot of people I care about
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: including my players, and so obviously something happened, and now
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: we wonder if Diana.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Will admit it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because you're not having difficult conversations with your family members,
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: your players, and your other coworkers. If you just met
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: up with a friend M M and four other friends
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: at an adult's only resort in Arizona, sorry, there's no
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: difficult conversation.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It would just be like, yes, look here are our
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: four other friends.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: My I can't believe you've crashed this gigantic party of friends.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all just here as friends.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs, oh Man Victor Webman Yama had to leave
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: yesterday's game with a concussion.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: That's the thing about him.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's amazing like nothing we've ever seen before.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: But that is one gangly ass giraffe body and when
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it starts to go to the floor, you never know
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: what's going to get bumped and bruised. He got a
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: concussion last night and had to leave the game, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: that opened up the door for Portland and the Spurs
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: just aren't the same team without their best freak player,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and so Portland got a win last night over the Spurs,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: one oh six to one oh three. Philadelphia won over Boston.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It looked like Boston looked like you could give Philadelphia
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: fifty games to beat the Celtics, and they weren't going
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to do it. But they got it done last night,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: and they got it done rather convincingly, one eleven to
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: ninety seven over the Celtics, and the Lakers are now
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: up two to oh on Kevin Durant, who played last night,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and the Rockets with a one oh one ninety four victory.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Those other two series I mentioned are now even at
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: one game apiece tonight Detroit's and must win situation. They
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: better win tonight over at Orlando. They can't lose two
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: straight at home against an eight seed and think they're
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: going to come back in that series. Plus Phoenix at
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: OKC Stanley Cup Playoffs, Tampa Bay, Boston, Utah, Colorado were
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: all winners last night. Colorado the only of those four
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: to be up two to oh in their series. Tonight,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: it'll be Pittsburgh at Philly, Dallas at Minnesota, Edmonton at Anaheim,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the Mariners dfad Casey Legumina. Yesterday, it's so a little harsh,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and they recalled Alex Hoppy, an offseason acquisition from the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Red Sox, who I do believe is better than Legumina.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: But we will discuss this because man, I don't know.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the problem was that Legumina was
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: on the roster or how the manager was using him. Yeah,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and Legumina ends up losing his job over this, so
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about that later on in the show. Meanwhile,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the team lost another game to the A's five to two.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: The final score last night, and the atmosphere last night,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was just me felt.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Pretty grim over there at Team Mobile.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next with Mariners morning after just
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: getting started here on a Wednesday, Sports Radio.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I think all's going to be well, but man, that
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: looks like a dead ass ball team right now.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Doesn't make what's going on right now any less frustrating.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: That's for sure.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: That atmosphere was horrible, That that affect was horrible last night.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: It was it felt like a funeral last night by
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the end of that game. That was terrible.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there was some promising moments, but it was like
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: every to have it be that. Every time we had
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: something positive and next I mean they had something more positive.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh, come on, guys, like.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: It's bad energy. It's bad energy right now.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: But yes, twenty five games into the season, five games
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: under five hundred, none of us saw this coming, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: yet they do this to us every single year.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: It's certainly been a lot worse.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: There have been certainly a lot more hair pulling, head
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: scratching what the f is going on moments with this
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: team in the Depoto era, But certainly last night another
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: loss adds to the frustration. The A's were throwing Jacob Lopez,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a left hander who entered the game with a seven ERA.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: But he's left handed. Yeah, and that solves everything when
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you're facing the Mariners, and that is something to be
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: concerned about.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: That is a legitm worry right.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Now this team organization's inability to either find guys that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: can hit right handed or their ability to adapt to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the stadium. I don't know what it is, but man,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: what a mystery that everybody that they get that they
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: feel is a proven crusher of left handed pitching is
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: not only I mean they're terrible.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: They're terrible.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Although Rob Refsnyder did get a second hit of the season.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Still has an seventy four battage. So for the season,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: he's been terrible, and I'm giving him a lot more
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: time to try to figure this out.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not burying him.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: But Mitch Garver, we gave a lot of time to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: and he never figured it out.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: Just his stat line man, and he got that hit
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: last night, but that was pure luck.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So the MS fell behind early one to nothing with
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Luis Castillo on the mount and he was better last night,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: but still not great, and then the Mariners came back
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: and the third inning they tied things up. The A's
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: came right back, took the lead in the fourth, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: then cal Raleigh looks like he's finally being Cal again.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: That brings up cal Raleigh one for two to night,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a single his last at bat deep let's field, cal
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Rally at the low.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Tabe call.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Back to back knights with home runs for Cal, so
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: that's something that was positive.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Four home runs now on the season.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: He had two hits, he got on base three times
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: last night, so maybe Cal's starting to put it together.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I think Julio's actually had some pretty good at bats.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: He's not hitting with a lot of power at this
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: point in the season, but his batting average does not
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: represent how well he's been hitting the ball. Naylor continues
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: to be a bit of a concern, but he had I.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: Mean even at least he had the sacrifice. While last
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: night that sport refs nighter. That was helpful, but overall.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You scored just two runs, and obviously left handers are
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: giving this team all sorts of fits to start the season.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And the A's ended up rattling off a run in
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the sixth, another in the seventh, and then one more
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: in the ninth for good measure, and they walk away
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: with a five two win over the now ten and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: fifteen Seattle Mariners. Dan Wilson was speaking after the game
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: about another loss.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: You know, tough, tough one again tonight.
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: You know, I thought, you know, Rock he really had
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: to battle through his five. You know, they put in
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: some deep counts on him. But I really liked the
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: way he fought tonight and again doing a nice job
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: of getting ahead in the count. I think he was
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: nineteen out of twenty two and first pitch strike, so
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: you know he was he was attacking, trying to get
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: you know, in the zone early.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: He was able to do that, get in controlled the count.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: He just had a couple of at bats there that
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: were that were deeper, and but you know he pitched
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: through five to nice job. Got to give us a
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: chance to win late offensively. You know, we had some
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: opportunities that that we didn't cash in on tonight. I thought,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: you know, the first inning was was outstanding, you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: getting ref on there, getting them you know, over the
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: third and then and then the sacfly obviously Cowl a
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: couple hits tonight and Julio, but you know, a lot
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: of contact tonight, you know, I think we had eight hits,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: So there was a lot of contact, but just not
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: a lot to show for it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: And you know, we got to keep keep.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Pushing and keep getting the traffic on there and and
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: keep you know, giving ourselves a chance and and uh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: you know, we know that at some point we'll start
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: to get those runs in.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: I believe it too, But.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, there there are some positives in there. Like
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you said, they had eight hits and you are putting
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: guys on base, Yeah, but.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Then what are you doing with them once you get
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: them there?
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: You are getting your walks, which is a hallmark to
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: this organizational's organization's efforts. But zero and four with runners
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: in scoring position last night, and you'll only struck out
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: five times and still couldn't come up with those hits
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position, couldn't find holes. And you
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: continue to struggle against any left hander that anybody.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Puts out on the mountain.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: And that's the ridiculous part, Like it's not as if
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: it's cy young caliber pitchers that that teams are finding
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: and then anything they just happened to be matching up
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: against us, it's teams are saying, oh, okay, let's just
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: bring this person up for this.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: We had Hogan Harris in this series looked like Chris
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Sale for goodness sake. I mean, he's just dominated everybody
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that he's gone up against.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And his name doesn't even sound real.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: It is made up.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He not even a real baseball player, not a baseball play.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They picked him up at the airport, sounds like Hogan's heroes.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: He was holding a sign.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: They were like, hey, this guy's name sounds.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Are you left handed sign holder?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: That's basically what happened.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Hop aboard, You're in a now for the next three days.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Five to two is the final score. And again I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: not panicking. I rattled off all the teams that are
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: under five hundred right now that I think will be
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: over five hundred by the end of the season. But
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I'll say this, it can't You can't let it slip
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: any further. And there are no sacred cows not I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: that's not entirely true. I mean Cal and Julio and Naylor.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of guys that are safe, let's
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: put it that way. But in terms of getting in
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the way of us winning a championship, Man, if JP
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Crawford's playing this poorly because he's looking over his shoulder.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Then so be it. You will get lapped if I
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: was a.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Twenty year old who might be able to provide a spark.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I don't even think Dan Wilson should be considered safe.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Do you have a World Series roster right now. I'm
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: not saying you've got to turn it around immediately and
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: go on some ten game winning stream when you're not
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: playing well. I'm saying that, but you can't let it
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: get worse. I'll say that for all the people that
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: are outraged over Dan, I'm not there with you, but
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: he's not been good. Uh, And I'm not letting anything
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: get in the way of this team's chances of winning
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: World Series.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Too much went into this. They're too good. They're too good.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: On paper to have a lifeless performance in game number
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: twenty five of the season and be ten and fifteen
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: on the year.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I know I am halfway joking when I
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: say I'm saying we need to go on a ten
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: game win streak, But I'm only halfway joking, like it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Need we need to start. I need to start seeing something.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: This is frustrating.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gilbert tonight against Aaron Savale, who A's fans are
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: furious with at this point, with how he's looked so
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: far this season, and.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: He is right handed.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, there you go. We're going to get
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a win.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: So let the ten game win streak start today.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You don't need it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: It's not a must, but man, to get swept by
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the A's just an inability to establish any momentum early
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: on in this season. To have taken two from the
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Rangers and then just give it all back and then some.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: To the A's would be pretty hard.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: And I understand the A's are a better team than
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: they have, but that's still embarrassing you get swept by them.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: So one ten, first pitch today, they'll try to salvage
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a game out of this if they can win this.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: They went four and nine in their first thirteen, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: then that would mean seven and six over their next thirteen,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: which is improvement. It's a long way away from where
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: you want to be, but that is improvement over the
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: next thirteen. Get three more wins of improvement over the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: following thirteen and you're where you need to be. So
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: maybe there is a little bit of a positive movement
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: by this team so far this year. But if you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: can explain to me why this group just plays like
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: this for chunks of time every single season, no matter
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: how much talent they do or don't have, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: let me know.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be great.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Try to explain that to me.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe let the Mariners know too, then they could fix it.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Coming up next on the radio program yesterday in Boston,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Mike Rabel spoke what do we think of his comments?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about an next Sports Radio ninety three point
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: three KJR FM Draft Talk. Greg Bell will join us
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: at seven oh five stocking stuffers, drafting his catalog Softy
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: to preview Moler Millen mock draft today. We also have
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: your cash word coming up at the top of the hour,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: and so much more on today's edition of Chuck and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: kjr FM. But Mike Rabel didn't exactly go up to
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the podium with Bobby Brown swagger yesterday. Wasn't exactly dancing
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: up there or you know, acting like you fools?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: How dare you question me?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: He went up there sort of with hat and hand
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: tail tuck between his legs and kylie look on his face,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: looked like he lost his dog and couldn't find it
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: to try to explain what has happened in the last
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks of his life because of the Diana
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Russini photos that were taken of the Patriots head coach
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and the athletic reporter on the roof of a building
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: of an exclusive resort.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: An adults only resort.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: They denied anything any wrongdoing at first, and we haven't
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: seen or heard them do any kind of about face publicly,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and yet Mike Rabel decided it's time to discuss this publicly.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And even though he didn't come out and admit anything, boy,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the guilt was all over his face.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: First begin by saying thank you. Thank you for your
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: patience that you've shown in a personal and private manner
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: for me and obviously everybody involved. I know that that's not
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: easy for you, check that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: I appreciate your efforts in doing so.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: I understand I could have addressed you guys sooner, but
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: it was important to me to have a conversation with
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: the players, which I did yesterday very candidly, as we
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: began our off season program, which everyone is excited to
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: be a part of.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Fast Type Stacey had mentioned.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Availability. It's never my intention to have them speak to
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: you or address you before I did, and so I
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: asked him to come to day to talk with you.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: You know, I also don't want to take away from
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: our you know, the draft for the weekend of the draft.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: You know, this is an important time for us, our
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: organization and the excitement and the joy that those players
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: are gonna have that that we bring onto our football team.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: They're starting an amazing journey, one that should be celebrated
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: as we welcome them onto our team. With that being said,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: you know, I've had some difficult conversations with people that
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: the players, those who have been positive and productive. We
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: believe in order to be successful long and off the field,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: you have to make good decisions. That includes me. That
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: starts with me. We never want our actions to negatively
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: affect the team. We never want to be the cause
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: of the distraction. And what I those are comments and
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: questions that I've answered for the team and with the team,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: and we'll keep those private and to ourselves. Care deeply
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: about this football team, and I'm excited to.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Coach them, even though your actions have created it. Right, Yeah,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: it does come as a bit of a Okay, I
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: got to get my arms around a little bit of
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: damage control, and not necessarily for your own reputation, but
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: for all of those that it harmed that are around you,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: that you claim to love and care for. And so,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: you know what, I will give him a pass on.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not ready to speak on this just yet, and
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: give me time to talk to all of the people
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: that need to be spoken with about this, including my players,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: including my boss, and certainly my family.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: So that is understandable.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think that he needs to rush and give
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: us an explanation or he owes the media and explanation
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: like on our timetable. But I am glad that he
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: did do this before the draft started, because if you
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: start slipping away and hiding from this, and you start
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: shirking responsibilities that you have as a head coach in
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the National Football League one of thirty two, a face
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: of the franchise, if not the face of the franchise,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: now you are letting it affect your job and.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Those that you work with.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: So I'm glad that he did this. Nobody asks to
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: forgive him. Everybody can draw their own conclusions on what
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: should become of this, But I'm glad that he did
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: this because the moment that he started hiding during the
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: draft process, moment the moment you start not being and
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: doing the things you're expected to do as head coach
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: of the Patriots. Now you are looking, you know, soft
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: and weak and scared to face the music.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: So he at least got this out of the way.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And it also points out how much they've been lying
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: to us as well, because there's no way to conclude
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: after hearing that that they were one hundred percent innocent
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: and this is a big miscommunication.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Right well, and that's the thing is, you can't they
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: can't come out and basically try to say, oh, you're
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: all idiots for thinking there's something going on.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Clearly like they've already done that.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, Yeah, doing that and
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: saying this is laughable, and then not saying anything else
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: after that, because if it's nothing and it's laughable, then
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: you should be You shouldn't be avoiding press conferences because
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: there's nothing that you're hiding from. But clearly he was
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: hiding from something, and yeah, you're you know, Patriots fans
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: should be bothered that it was starting to affect his
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: job in the fact that he is dodging press conferences.
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: So good for him for coming out and actually speaking.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: But and now he needs to conduct the drafty week
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the way that he would conduct the draft week normally, yes,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: which he wouldn't have been able to do if he
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: did not go through that experience yesterday. Now store's not
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: over with. There's gonna be a lot more that's going
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: to be discussed about this.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: If he thinks he's out of.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: The woods, he's crazy. And she of course needs to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: now come forward and admit her part in all of this,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: because she has been adamantly denying any wrongdoing this entire time. Yeah, so,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: story took another twist yesterday. But I wonder if Rabel
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: even cleared it with Diana that he was doing that yesterday.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Great question, because you would have thought she would want
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: to get out of it, got out ahead of that.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: If he's going to basically admit to the world that, yes,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I had an extramarital affair with a reporter.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that she'd release a statement at the same time.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So, oh, we'll see all right headlines next.
