0:00
Speaker 1: It's time for the Jo shoe shot.
0:03
Speaker 2: Ye the best twelve minutes of eight minutes of radio.
0:07
Speaker 2: I'm brought to you by the rich, complex flavor of
0:10
Speaker 2: Pendleton Whiskey Weather. But please drink responsibly. Happy Football Friday,
0:18
Speaker 2: but not just any old football Friday. It is Conference
0:21
Speaker 2: Championship Football Friday. This Sunday, the Super Bowl participants will
0:27
Speaker 2: be decided, and the Seahawks are among the final for
0:31
Speaker 2: Football Friday sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka. In a moment,
0:36
Speaker 2: so we have your eight top stories of the day
0:38
Speaker 2: for you. But let me start the hour by telling
0:40
Speaker 2: you that money is our keyword in one thousand dollars powerplay.
0:44
Speaker 2: Enter it at ninety three to three kjar dot com
0:47
Speaker 2: for your shot at a thousand dollars in cash. And
0:50
Speaker 2: now we go to the eight top stories of the
0:52
Speaker 2: day to get you ready for the weekend. There's no
0:55
Speaker 2: doubt what the top story of the day is. It's
0:57
Speaker 2: Conference champion Jeff Waken that taste.
1:01
Speaker 1: Of Ram on his beat. That's right, that's right.
1:04
Speaker 3: Oh, that sounds media and delicious.
1:07
Speaker 1: Arry. If you were a Ram and a bunch of
1:09
Speaker 1: Seahawks just started attacking you, pecking your ass and then
1:13
Speaker 1: your face. They're making sounds summony more Seahawks to come
1:18
Speaker 1: eat you, and they're like, man, next Thingail, You're like,
1:22
Speaker 1: I'm an old Ram. You can't handle this.
1:25
Speaker 2: I get pecked to death. Kelly, I'm gonna go ahead
1:28
Speaker 2: and retire.
1:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now in the second quarter.
1:31
Speaker 1: Orn't do that anymore.
1:32
Speaker 2: The Seahawks will host the Rams Sunday at three thirty.
1:36
Speaker 2: What are going to be the keys to the game.
1:38
Speaker 2: We've already given hours earlier in the show. Greg Bell
1:41
Speaker 2: gave his at seven o five, But here you go.
1:44
Speaker 2: Here's Greg's just to.
1:45
Speaker 4: Remind you the turnover thing I told you to. Sam Darnold,
1:48
Speaker 4: he just can't give him the short field and the
1:50
Speaker 4: Rams giving away Rams points. The Seahawks have a defense
1:54
Speaker 4: not only to win this game, to win the Super Bowl.
1:57
Speaker 4: I've been saying that for a month or two now.
1:59
Speaker 4: And the way it defenses planned. If their quarterback doesn't
2:02
Speaker 4: turn the ball, if Darnald doesn't turn the ball over,
2:04
Speaker 4: they're going to win the game. They're gonna win the
2:05
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. To me, that's the over arching key to
2:08
Speaker 4: the whole thing. Their defense just right now, the way
2:12
Speaker 4: they're playing and how they're confident. They are. Doesn't believe
2:15
Speaker 4: anybody in the world can drive eighty yards routinely over
2:18
Speaker 4: a game and score multiple touchdowns, and they have. Seahawks
2:21
Speaker 4: have a offense that's good enough to score multiple touchdowns.
2:25
Speaker 4: So do the math. Don't give them a short field,
2:28
Speaker 4: and then see how are gonna win.
2:30
Speaker 2: The teams have met twice during the regular season. They
2:32
Speaker 2: split it a game a piece, the combined scores separated
2:37
Speaker 2: by a single point, the combined yardage game separated by
2:41
Speaker 2: a single yard. It's crazy, and when it ends, a
2:44
Speaker 2: single team will advance to Super Bowl sixty. The Seahawks
2:48
Speaker 2: go into this game a slight two and a half
2:50
Speaker 2: point favorite. That numbers actually come down a little bit
2:53
Speaker 2: from earlier in the week. Everybody is expecting a close game.
2:58
Speaker 2: I would not certainly be surprised that that was the case,
3:01
Speaker 2: but I'm not predicting one. I'm riding this. I think
3:04
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are gonna win this thing by a touchdown
3:07
Speaker 2: or more. I really do feel really good about it.
3:10
Speaker 1: I mean it's I end up looking back through the
3:12
Speaker 1: play by play of the two games that these teams
3:15
Speaker 1: have played, and there's so many different ebbs and flows
3:19
Speaker 1: of going forward and forth and getting stopped or getting
3:22
Speaker 1: it and then it getting a touchdown and called back,
3:24
Speaker 1: and then they kick a field goal and then missfield goal.
3:27
Speaker 1: It is I have no idea how this thing's gonna
3:30
Speaker 1: shake out. You obviously you can't. You can't predict the
3:32
Speaker 1: whole thing. That's the beauty of it. But I just
3:35
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking that it's not going to
3:37
Speaker 1: be regardless how the first three and a half quarters
3:40
Speaker 1: play out, I just feel like the final five minutes,
3:43
Speaker 1: hold on your butts because it's gonna get nuts.
3:46
Speaker 2: See, I have a hard time just bait that right
3:48
Speaker 2: under your butts. It's gonna get nuts that right. I
3:51
Speaker 2: have hard time seeing it's I mean, I don't have
3:53
Speaker 2: a hard time seeing it staying close. But in just
3:55
Speaker 2: then in terms of I have a hard time predicting
3:59
Speaker 2: that it will day, it will go down to the wire.
4:02
Speaker 2: I just think the Seahawks, I mean, this is about
4:05
Speaker 2: an arc of a season, right and then where we
4:08
Speaker 2: are right now. I feel like the Rams are playing
4:10
Speaker 2: their worst football as of late here going into this game,
4:14
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks are playing their best. The Rams defense
4:18
Speaker 2: has been leaky in the last quarter part of the season.
4:22
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford's not played like an MVP the last three
4:26
Speaker 2: or four games that he's played. Meanwhile, the Seahawks defense
4:29
Speaker 2: actually just keeps getting better and better and better and better.
4:32
Speaker 2: So yes, of course I can envision a scenario where
4:35
Speaker 2: the Rams win the game. But in terms of trying
4:39
Speaker 2: to envision a prediction that I would make looking at
4:42
Speaker 2: these two teams, the way they're playing right now, how
4:45
Speaker 2: healthy the rosters are, so on and so forth, I
4:48
Speaker 2: just can't see it being as close as what everybody
4:51
Speaker 2: else seems to think it's going to be.
4:53
Speaker 3: And I agree. I think it's interesting because what was it, like.
4:55
Speaker 5: Five or six weeks ago, maybe not that long ago,
4:58
Speaker 5: a month ago, we were talking about are the or Theawks?
5:01
Speaker 3: Are the Seahawks peaking right now? Like is this their time?
5:04
Speaker 5: And there was a lot of conversation yes and no,
5:06
Speaker 5: and yeah, the defense is improving, but well, I mean,
5:09
Speaker 5: I would say yes, at this point they are peaking,
5:12
Speaker 5: and that's the ideal situation you want heading into your
5:15
Speaker 5: biggest game of the year thus far, save for one
5:18
Speaker 5: more hopefully, I.
5:19
Speaker 3: Mean, I would say that defense seems unstoppable.
5:24
Speaker 2: Twenty six thirteen, Okay, I like that. A lot of
5:29
Speaker 2: field goals, oh from us, a lot of two point
5:32
Speaker 2: tries from them. Okay man, something like that, twenty six
5:36
Speaker 2: to sixteen. That's the pick. Darnald's obleik, of course, has
5:39
Speaker 2: been a big topic for the last couple of weeks.
5:42
Speaker 2: We got a good report from Greg Bell that said
5:45
Speaker 2: on Friday or see me Thursday, he looked and felt
5:47
Speaker 2: better than he has for the last couple of weeks,
5:50
Speaker 2: or at least since the injury. But of course, you
5:53
Speaker 2: never know what's going to happen in the activity of
5:56
Speaker 2: a violent sport during the course of four quarters. Coming
6:00
Speaker 2: up on Sunday. Matt Hasselbeck joins us every Wednesday throughout
6:03
Speaker 2: the playoffs. He's played with this injury in the past,
6:07
Speaker 2: and he talked about playing with this specific injury.
6:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the thing about this kind of an injury.
6:12
Speaker 6: It's really not a pain tolerance thing. It's just more
6:15
Speaker 6: about does the muscle work, you know, And that's that's
6:18
Speaker 6: the you know, I've I've played with some injuries that
6:21
Speaker 6: you know that were like really really painful and you know,
6:24
Speaker 6: broken bones and stuff like that also, but this one
6:26
Speaker 6: is just like it's just like, no, I'm fine, I'm
6:28
Speaker 6: totally good, except for one thing, and that's kind of
6:31
Speaker 6: throwing a fastball.
6:33
Speaker 1: And and one thing I.
6:35
Speaker 6: Do know I can speak to this is that the
6:38
Speaker 6: athletic training sort of team that's in Seattle with the
6:42
Speaker 6: Seahawks is as good as it comes. And even on
6:46
Speaker 6: the orthopedic side, you share you know Ed Calphane, doctor
6:50
Speaker 6: Ed Calpane, you share a head orthopedic with the Mariners.
6:55
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of times with.
6:56
Speaker 6: In my you know, injury, where I had someone who
7:01
Speaker 6: was really experienced in dealing with throwers. And that's not
7:05
Speaker 6: always the case on every NFL team, And so I
7:07
Speaker 6: do think that's an advantage that the Seahawks have and
7:10
Speaker 6: that Sam Darnold in this case has.
7:13
Speaker 2: I have no idea how good he feels or how
7:15
Speaker 2: good he'll look. I'll just say I would imagine the
7:19
Speaker 2: injury feels better today than what it did the last game.
7:23
Speaker 2: And I didn't see anything from him during the game.
7:26
Speaker 2: Maybe he was shot up with goofers, I have no idea.
7:28
Speaker 2: Maybe he couldn't feel a thing, I have no idea.
7:31
Speaker 2: But I didn't see anything about his game last week
7:34
Speaker 2: that suggested that he was struggling with it.
7:37
Speaker 1: No, I didn't either, And ultimately, it's as long as
7:40
Speaker 1: you can throw. It doesn't seem like that is a
7:43
Speaker 1: injury that you're going to hurt based on the contact, right,
7:47
Speaker 1: I mean, if he gets sacked and gets landed on,
7:50
Speaker 1: it's it's more of an oblique injuries usually from the
7:53
Speaker 1: twisting your body, torquing and going around your spine. So
7:57
Speaker 1: to me, it's as long as he's not trying to
7:59
Speaker 1: twist and somebody holding him from doing it, I think
8:01
Speaker 1: that he's going to be fine. If it is a
8:03
Speaker 1: little sore throughout the week. Yeah, they will shoot him
8:06
Speaker 1: up with a little something just to where its masks
8:09
Speaker 1: the pain enough that he can go out there and
8:10
Speaker 1: just feels like you can let it rip without feeling
8:13
Speaker 1: like it's going to hinder him at any point. I
8:14
Speaker 1: don't have hardly any worry about that part of his game.
8:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
8:17
Speaker 5: I definitely have less worry this week than last week
8:19
Speaker 5: because and I do think we would have noticed if
8:21
Speaker 5: it had seemed that he was in pain, because I
8:23
Speaker 5: think everyone was watching every single move he made, at
8:27
Speaker 5: least for that first quarter.
8:28
Speaker 2: Of like is he okay, man?
8:30
Speaker 3: Okay? So I have less worry this week for sure.
8:33
Speaker 2: Zach Sharbonay is out. We know that, which suggests a
8:36
Speaker 2: full load for ken Walker at running Back. If you
8:39
Speaker 2: get time, maybe go listen to the Roundtable yesterday. Hugh
8:42
Speaker 2: Millan does this great breakdown of like all things are
8:45
Speaker 2: pointing toward a big ken Walker game here in this contest,
8:50
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be surprised by that. I mean, they
8:53
Speaker 2: have been leaky defensively, particularly against the run here down
8:57
Speaker 2: the stretch. Walker's coming off his best game. You don't
9:00
Speaker 2: have to figure out like riding the hot hand or
9:03
Speaker 2: having to tap out. Ken Walker doesn't have to worry
9:07
Speaker 2: about nursing and injury going into this game, as he's
9:11
Speaker 2: going to get I think, as many carries as he
9:14
Speaker 2: wants to get in this contest. And Hugh Millan is
9:17
Speaker 2: predicting a really big breakout game for him here in
9:20
Speaker 2: this game.
9:21
Speaker 1: Well, he's running as well as he has I mean
9:24
Speaker 1: most certainly as well as he ever has has this season.
9:27
Speaker 1: And now it's going to be all right, get the
9:29
Speaker 1: ball and he's got things to run for. He's got
9:31
Speaker 1: big contracts that he's kind of chasing down out there.
9:34
Speaker 1: He knows this is an opportunity he's going to be
9:36
Speaker 1: running hard. If they create some lanes and he sees
9:39
Speaker 1: those lanes, I think you could have a big, big day.
9:42
Speaker 2: Left tackle seems to be a concerning thing. If you
9:45
Speaker 2: read over the injury report, all three of our left
9:47
Speaker 2: tackles are on there. Yeah, but we got a good
9:51
Speaker 2: report from Greg at seven o'clock saying, don't worry. Charles
9:54
Speaker 2: Cross should play in this contest and it won't come
9:58
Speaker 2: to Gray's Abel having to move over because all three
10:02
Speaker 2: of your left tackles are injured and out on the
10:05
Speaker 2: Rams side. Their big injury is their best pass rusher,
10:08
Speaker 2: Byron Young. He had twelve sacks during the season. He
10:10
Speaker 2: did not participate in practice yesterday. He is expected to
10:14
Speaker 2: play in this game, but I think it's pretty clear
10:16
Speaker 2: he's not going to be at one hundred percent. I
10:18
Speaker 2: think it's also pretty clear Sean McVay doesn't exactly know
10:21
Speaker 2: how often how much he's going to be able to
10:24
Speaker 2: use him. Kind of feels like it's not just a
10:26
Speaker 2: game day decision. It's going to be a play by
10:28
Speaker 2: play decision as to whether or not Byron Young's being
10:32
Speaker 2: effective or being affected by his injury. So a lote
10:38
Speaker 2: going into it. Kickoff is at three point thirty and
10:41
Speaker 2: I do believe Seattle feels ready for this one.
10:45
Speaker 3: I think so.
10:46
Speaker 2: I think so. I think we're ready to go. By

12:27
Speaker 2: afternoon against the Patriots.
12:28
Speaker 1: What's your take with that game?
12:30
Speaker 2: I think, uh, Jared stick, I'm gonna be all right. Uh.
12:36
Speaker 1: You know, when I first started doing this job, I
12:38
Speaker 1: remember trying to watch I started watching, you know, talking
12:42
Speaker 1: heads and stuff. I'm like, okay, let me see how
12:44
Speaker 1: people do this. I remember watching him thinking I never
12:47
Speaker 1: want to do it like that guy.
12:50
Speaker 2: He's a legend of the business. It doesn't matter that
12:53
Speaker 2: he doesn't know anything.
12:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he sounds like an idiot, and uh, yeah,
12:59
Speaker 1: how do you give an opinion about something and then
13:02
Speaker 1: you really don't even have any idea what you're talking about?
13:04
Speaker 2: Heard of them, Jared Jared fu Yeah, ye, Stick's.
13:08
Speaker 1: Kinda get him dialed in.
13:10
Speaker 5: I believe in Have you never heard of Jared'stidham? That's
13:13
Speaker 5: what I don't understand. If you follow the NFL, you
13:15
Speaker 5: should have heard of him at least once.
13:18
Speaker 2: And I love that he kind of because he kind
13:19
Speaker 2: of he said it once, like, yeah, that's it. Stick, Yeah, Stick,
13:23
Speaker 2: I had it right the whole time.
13:25
Speaker 3: I never grew up a.
13:26
Speaker 1: Name with the best of them. I mean, he doesn't
13:30
Speaker 1: even care to know.
13:31
Speaker 2: The Broncos are forced to start their backup quarterback Stickham.
13:36
Speaker 1: Uh.
13:37
Speaker 2: The Patriots enter the game at four and a half
13:39
Speaker 2: point favorites because of it. I mean that line swung
13:43
Speaker 2: by eight points. I mean, are you eight points worried
13:47
Speaker 2: about jareded Stickham on Sunday?
13:51
Speaker 1: Not really? I mean, I mean, I mean bo Nicks
13:54
Speaker 1: has got something. He's got a little like that just
13:57
Speaker 1: kind of figure out a way to win to him
13:59
Speaker 1: and he as the team believe in that. I mean,
14:01
Speaker 1: this team has been through a lot of kind of
14:04
Speaker 1: ups and downs and just found a way to win
14:05
Speaker 1: at the end of games. I don't know if Jared Stickham.
14:10
Speaker 3: Has that same He's got that stick to itiveness, but.
14:12
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham, I think does possibly have a little bit
14:16
Speaker 1: of that in we just haven't seen it yet. I mean,
14:18
Speaker 1: I think that you give Sean Payton a full week
14:22
Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, what can he do, what does
14:24
Speaker 1: he do best, and then formulate a game plan. It's
14:27
Speaker 1: not gonna be an easy victory. They haven't had any
14:29
Speaker 1: easy victories basically this entire season. They've had a couple
14:32
Speaker 1: maybe against the Raiders and whatnot, but for the most part,
14:35
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a dogfight. I think that the Patriots
14:39
Speaker 1: are legit. I think they're legit even if they're not
14:41
Speaker 1: world beaters. And so I don't know. I mean, I
14:45
Speaker 1: I'm cheering for him. I hope that they can find
14:47
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. I don't think that
14:49
Speaker 1: it's eight points difference.
14:51
Speaker 2: I don't either making a defensive struggle, which was going
14:54
Speaker 2: to be either way that matter b Nicks was available
14:57
Speaker 2: or not. It's gonna be a defensive game. Uh and uh,
15:01
Speaker 2: you know what, you do is you just take Jarrett Stickham,
15:04
Speaker 2: come up with a game plan and just stid with him.
15:07
Speaker 1: Stick Okay, yeah, with the game plan.
15:12
Speaker 2: Yes, did with the game plan and stick them can
15:15
Speaker 2: lead you there?
15:16
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah? Did him stick him? Whatever his name is,
15:20
Speaker 1: just yeah, just don't blow it for us. But yeah,
15:22
Speaker 1: I'm with your defense. He needs to go out there
15:23
Speaker 1: and ball out.
15:24
Speaker 2: Kick off at noon on Sunday. Another news from another
15:28
Speaker 2: news from the National Football League. Fernando Mendoza is made
15:31
Speaker 2: it official. The Heisman Trophy winner, the national champion quarterback
15:35
Speaker 2: of the Indiana Hoosiers is turning pro the most special
15:39
Speaker 2: of all my life. So it's such a great group
15:41

Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, another head coach vacancy has
16:05
Speaker 2: been filled. Jesse Mentor is the new head coach of

Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens. That means Clint Kubiak will not get
16:12
Speaker 2: that job. He has been connected to it this offseason.
16:15
Speaker 2: You got better things to do this weekend, Clint.
16:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, even though Lamar Jackson wanted you, they didn't.
16:24
Speaker 2: So sorry about it.
16:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just get to focus on what you need
16:27
Speaker 1: to win the Nfcon.
16:29
Speaker 3: Just stay here, it's lovely here.
16:30
Speaker 2: Take that disappointment and that anger and channel it into
16:33
Speaker 2: the best game you've ever called this Sunday.
16:37
Speaker 3: Make them see what they're missing.
16:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so we move on to item number six
16:42
Speaker 2: and our eight item o show it is a duck season.
16:45
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that. I'm not much of a hunter,
16:47
Speaker 2: but here we sit on January twenty third, and sounds
16:51
Speaker 2: like duck season is ready to get underway.
16:53
Speaker 9: Duck Season eve to us, it's kind of like Christmas
16:56
Speaker 9: Eve to city folk.
16:58
Speaker 3: Ho ho hope.
17:00
Speaker 9: Instead of Sanning is reindeer flying around giving out gifts,
17:03
Speaker 9: we have feathered fowl flying around giving gifts to us,
17:09
Speaker 9: and in this case, dead ducks.
17:12
Speaker 2: All kinds of teams hunting for ducks this weekend here
17:16
Speaker 2: in Seattle, Kraken, coming off a much needed four to
17:19
Speaker 2: one win over the Islanders, will be hunting ducks all
17:22
Speaker 2: the way from Anaheim tonight at Climate Pledge Arena seven pm.
17:26
Speaker 2: They dropped the puck, and then at ten pm they
17:29
Speaker 2: dropped the ducks.
17:30
Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, Sucket Ducks.
17:33
Speaker 2: Sunday at noon, the Washington Uskies men's basketball team will
17:37
Speaker 2: be hunting a more regionally located duck, the hated foul
17:41
Speaker 2: of Eugene Oregon. U dub is off to a two
17:45
Speaker 2: and six start and Big Ten play this year. Not great,
17:48
Speaker 2: but Oregon is off to a worst start, one in
17:51
Speaker 2: seven in conference play.
17:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sucket Ducks, Yeah yeah.
17:55
Speaker 1: Battle of a couple of real great starts here should
17:59
Speaker 1: be fun. Yeah, and more important things to worry about
18:02
Speaker 1: right now.
18:03
Speaker 3: Well that's true, but it might as a nice side. Yeah,
18:06
Speaker 3: it gets you through your Saturday a little bit.
18:07
Speaker 2: Right right right, you know, just to slay some ducks
18:10
Speaker 2: and stuff. Big dumper love was achieved last night. Major
18:15
Speaker 2: League Baseball has been counting down its top one hundred
18:18
Speaker 2: players in Major League Baseball right now. They got all
18:22
Speaker 2: the way to the top ten. That was last night's show.
18:26
Speaker 2: Cal Raleigh came off the board at number four. Lasted
18:33
Speaker 2: center field day.
18:36
Speaker 7: What it disappears he has Howard.
18:40
Speaker 2: On back to back. It just seemed tonight it may
18:46
Speaker 2: never stop.
18:47
Speaker 1: The year of col Rally.
18:50
Speaker 7: He has now tied Ken Griffy Junior for the most
18:54
Speaker 7: home runs by a Mariner in a season. I cannon
18:58
Speaker 7: shot to center field. This guy is unbelievable.
19:06
Speaker 2: I would also like to report that Aaron Goldsmith and
19:09
Speaker 2: Veronica Corningstone are in love.
19:11
Speaker 3: Still, that's such a good news.
19:13
Speaker 1: Such coss so much sounds like him.
19:17
Speaker 2: Top one hundred players in MLB right now. I mean,
19:20
Speaker 2: it's just a group of people at MLB Network that
19:22
Speaker 2: compiled this list. There's nothing too scientific about it. I
19:25
Speaker 2: don't even think they used the shredder anymore, which at
19:27
Speaker 2: one point they did, just raw statistical data. I think
19:30
Speaker 2: it's just I don't know how many people, but they
19:32
Speaker 2: put together this list. They counted down every year. Cal
19:35
Speaker 2: was fifty ninth. I think I heard last night from
19:38
Speaker 2: Adam Jude fifty ninth on this list a year ago,
19:42
Speaker 2: and after that season he's moved all the way up
19:44
Speaker 2: to number four. Bucky behind only show A, Aaron Judge
19:48
Speaker 2: and Kansas City shortstop.
19:49
Speaker 1: Bobby WITCHI yeah, and it's great to see him right there.
19:52
Speaker 1: Obviously he's getting he's burst on the scene, so to speak,
19:56
Speaker 1: and we kind of knew how good he was behind
19:58
Speaker 1: the dish and that he could hit and and go yard,
20:00
Speaker 1: but to hit sixty homers do something nobody's ever done.
20:04
Speaker 1: He's worthy of a giant jump up that. I had
20:07
Speaker 1: another moment last night that I wanted to punch somebody
20:10
Speaker 1: in the face on Twitter that basically said, uh, somebody
20:14
Speaker 1: baseball history nut or something. Cal Rawley's the most overrated
20:18
Speaker 1: player of all time, even more than Derek Jeter. So
20:21
Speaker 1: this guy he hates. Yeah, I said, your stupidity deserves
20:25
Speaker 1: an unfollow immediately, peace out. And and he actually had
20:30
Speaker 1: some good stuff. He was a baseball historian type of
20:33
Speaker 1: an account. There was actually some good stuff. But I
20:35
Speaker 1: will not listen to that kind of blasphemy. You want
20:38
Speaker 1: a Doodo on the dumper? Yeah, you were out of
20:40
Speaker 1: my life.
20:40
Speaker 2: Let the dumper do do? Don't dodo on the dump?
20:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should get Dodo do. Yeah?
20:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't do that. Do doo that you do?
20:46
Speaker 1: Yeah?
20:47
Speaker 2: We knew Cal was going to finish high on the list,
20:50
Speaker 2: But how about Julio ranking number sixteen on this list?
20:54
Speaker 2: Not bad to have two of the top sixteen players
20:56
Speaker 2: in baseball on your team right now and locked up
20:59
Speaker 2: for a number of years going forward right here in Seattle.
21:02
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
21:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take it. I am at this point, I
21:05
Speaker 1: think we have both of them locked up for a
21:07
Speaker 1: lot longer at it like a fraction of the cost
21:10
Speaker 1: of just one Kyle Tucker. So yeah, you know, you
21:13
Speaker 1: can even throw Josh Naylor in the mix as well
21:17
Speaker 1: and still less expensive. So yeah, great, great contracts and
21:21
Speaker 1: obviously even better players.
21:22
Speaker 2: If you want to check out the latest episode of Stove,
21:25
Speaker 2: make sure you do that. Anders and I just recorded
21:28
Speaker 2: one yesterday, so check that out. You can find it

22:23

22:37
Speaker 2: the versatile, legendary defensive lineman of your former Seattle Seahawks,
22:43
Speaker 2: The Great Michael Bennett is with us here on Chuck

Speaker 2: and Buck. Good morning, sir, hoy you doing today?
22:48
Speaker 10: How's everything going on? I'm super excited for this game
22:52
Speaker 10: coming up?
22:53
Speaker 2: Honestly, I would hope. Are you still you and Cliff
22:56
Speaker 2: still chasing Johnny Hecker around the town?
23:01
Speaker 10: Nah?
23:01
Speaker 8: He quit on us. He's too scary.
23:05
Speaker 2: I thought it was just still happening. You were just
23:07
Speaker 2: still just going to his house.
23:10
Speaker 10: No, I should have, bro I should have.
23:12
Speaker 1: Honestly, not bad idea.
23:16
Speaker 2: Uh well, let's talk about Uh let's talk about you
23:19
Speaker 2: first and your experience with this organization, the Rams. Where
23:24
Speaker 2: did they rank on your man. I can't stand this
23:27
Speaker 2: team's list.
23:29
Speaker 8: They were are number three on my list. Okay, Number
23:32
Speaker 8: one was the Carolina Panthers, Number two was forty nine Ers,
23:36
Speaker 8: and then three with the Rams.
23:39
Speaker 1: Hm, why were the Panthers number one?
23:42
Speaker 8: Well, because the Panthers is always a team that was
23:44
Speaker 8: like built kind of similar to how the Seahawks was built,
23:48
Speaker 8: like a very good defense stout against the Office and
23:51
Speaker 8: Island was really really good. Running backs were great, you know,
23:56
Speaker 8: Cam Newton was the quarterback, you know, so and then
23:59
Speaker 8: defense they just had had everybody Tumas Davis, Charles, Charles Johnson,
24:03
Speaker 8: just Shaq Thompson, Louke Keigley, like you know, Josh Norman,
24:09
Speaker 8: and then the forty nine ers they just the same.
24:11
Speaker 8: It was like Justin Smith, Alden Smith, you know, Navarre Bowman,
24:16
Speaker 8: Patrick Willis, offensive line, Joe Stavey, Nike and party like
24:21
Speaker 8: you know.
24:21
Speaker 10: And then you go down to.
24:22
Speaker 8: Like the Rams and they were they were really good
24:25
Speaker 8: on defense too, you know, so Todd Gurley, you know,
24:29
Speaker 8: Aaron Donald, Chris Long of all the years that they
24:32
Speaker 8: had and then like but they never really had that
24:35
Speaker 8: quarterback until they got Jared Golfing and so Yeah, they
24:38
Speaker 8: were like the third team that you know, always had,
24:40
Speaker 8: you know, a competition with in conference. But but at
24:43
Speaker 8: the same time we're playing the Cardinals were really good
24:46
Speaker 8: with Carson Palmer and Gaffers, Geral and David Johnson and
24:50
Speaker 8: all those guys, and the defense was stacked on that team.
24:53
Speaker 8: Calls Dansby and everybody in Mark uh, Camarti and.
24:57
Speaker 2: Everybody, Michael Bennett. Is this right here on Chucking Buck
25:01
Speaker 2: in the mornings? What is this team particular done for
25:05
Speaker 2: your defense? You guys? I mean, I'm saying Richard Sherman
25:09
Speaker 2: celebrate on the sidelines like he's the you know, craziest
25:12
Speaker 2: twelve out there. I got Cliff Averrill bouncing around town,
25:17
Speaker 2: you know, doing interviews, so you know, talking about this team,
25:21
Speaker 2: Cam Chancellor doing the pregame hype moment. What has it
25:25
Speaker 2: done to your group, this team, for the Seahawks to
25:28
Speaker 2: be back here on top of the NFL world and
25:31
Speaker 2: be doing it led by their defense.
25:35
Speaker 8: You know, we've met that we expect the defense to
25:37
Speaker 8: be great. I think see has a history of a
25:39
Speaker 8: great defenders. So all of us, we're players, of these
25:42
Speaker 8: younger players, you know, we love with Witherspoon, and de Marcus,
25:48
Speaker 8: you know, just Ernest Ernest, like you know, these guys
25:52
Speaker 8: are Kobe. These are great players that we all admire.
25:55
Speaker 8: They all share the intensity that we share. You know,
25:59
Speaker 8: Leonard Wims is my favorite defensive liignment in the NFL
26:02
Speaker 8: because of his versatility. And you know, so we're big
26:05
Speaker 8: fans of the defense, and I think what it does
26:06
Speaker 8: in the city is reinvigorating the love for the game.
26:11
Speaker 8: Like offense is good, but watching a game that comes
26:14
Speaker 8: to a defense is suffocated in the office and watching
26:17
Speaker 8: them die slowly on TV is such a great thing.
26:21
Speaker 8: And I think it's what we enjoy about the game.
26:24
Speaker 8: So I think we just love watching the defense play
26:26
Speaker 8: the way that they do. We all were like, yo,
26:28
Speaker 8: we could have played for Mike and the rest of
26:30
Speaker 8: the team. And I think this team winners. Defense is
26:32
Speaker 8: built like the same mage and when rebuilt, the intensity,
26:35
Speaker 8: the camaraderie and the love for defense of the team.
26:38
Speaker 10: I think it's like they.
26:40
Speaker 8: Don't have that, you know, Miles Garrett, you know the
26:43
Speaker 8: twenty three sacks or like you know, Aden Huncheson, but
26:46
Speaker 8: all those.
26:46
Speaker 1: Guys are sitting home.
26:48
Speaker 8: What they have is great team combination of players who
26:52
Speaker 8: understand the football and love playing together and will do
26:55
Speaker 8: anything to win, really sacrificing their stats, sacrificing their opportunities
27:00
Speaker 8: to make sure that the play is very properly to
27:03
Speaker 8: do the most important thing is to host at Lombardi.
27:07
Speaker 1: Mike the I mean, obviously you have massive respect for
27:10
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and how he kind of designed your guys's
27:13
Speaker 1: defense to be the most dominant there for that little
27:17
Speaker 1: stretch of time. And so I'm wondering, though, from your perspective,
27:20
Speaker 1: what do you see that's different or extra on top
27:23
Speaker 1: of what you did and what you guys did here
27:26
Speaker 1: that you're seeing it's different the way that Mike McDonald
27:28
Speaker 1: kind of has this defense going.
27:30
Speaker 8: First of all, I don't think it was a short
27:32
Speaker 8: period of time. It was a real bobby or six
27:35
Speaker 8: seven years. It's not a short period of time to
27:36
Speaker 8: have really good defense.
27:38
Speaker 10: But I think what it is.
27:39
Speaker 8: Is that Mike is really I think what coaching is about,
27:42
Speaker 8: or building organization or building companies is about finding a
27:47
Speaker 8: philosophy and find the people in the parts that fit
27:49
Speaker 8: into your philosophy, you know, like the type of body types,
27:53
Speaker 8: the type of mindset, the type of love for and
27:56
Speaker 8: passion for the game. You find those people, put those
27:59
Speaker 8: people or into position, and as a coach, it takes
28:02
Speaker 8: time to find those And I think what Mike did
28:04
Speaker 8: a good job of is finding those components, finding a
28:06
Speaker 8: DeMarcus uners. I heed somebody it's not about the sacks.
28:09
Speaker 8: I mean somebody that's intense and it's somebody who gets
28:11
Speaker 8: the game. I think that's what it's.
28:13
Speaker 10: About, right.
28:14
Speaker 8: Some Trump coaches chase the production so much that they
28:17
Speaker 8: forget that it's about A great player is only a
28:21
Speaker 8: great player if.
28:22
Speaker 10: He can be a great leader.
28:23
Speaker 8: And I think what Mike has done is some great
28:25
Speaker 8: players who are also great leaders. And I think that's
28:28
Speaker 8: what he's done a great job of finding those guys,
28:31
Speaker 8: which is really hard to do because contracts getting away,
28:35
Speaker 8: a lot of different things getting away. But to find
28:37
Speaker 8: that small minute moment where it's all about winning and
28:41
Speaker 8: all about the organization is very rare.
28:43
Speaker 2: Who on this defense is the you, I would say
28:48
Speaker 2: it's me?
28:49
Speaker 10: Is is is Lennard Williams.
28:53
Speaker 8: I think that's the place that I see most of
28:55
Speaker 8: me in a lot of ways when it comes to
28:57
Speaker 8: Obviously he's a way larger body type than them, but
29:01
Speaker 8: the ability to have flexibility to play those three technique
29:06
Speaker 8: and just shake up the defense.
29:08
Speaker 10: I think oil and so that's kind of how I
29:10
Speaker 10: see it.
29:10
Speaker 8: I think Bayern Murphys is a great player too, but
29:13
Speaker 8: I would say I probably most likely Leonard Wims.
29:16
Speaker 2: Michael Bennett is with us right here on Chuck a
29:18
Speaker 2: Buck in the morning, getting you ready for conference Championships Sunday.
29:21
Speaker 2: So break it down for us. Let's dust off those
29:24
Speaker 2: analytics skills. Analyst skills of yours. Tell us how this
29:28
Speaker 2: thing's gonna unfold on Sunday. Michael, Well, I don't.
29:32
Speaker 8: Think it's going to be a blowout like it was
29:33
Speaker 8: against the forty nine ers, right. I think the forty
29:35
Speaker 8: nine ers suffer from the injury bug.
29:38
Speaker 10: I think I don't know if they need.
29:39
Speaker 8: To fire their trainer or the way that this stuff,
29:42
Speaker 8: but their players don't make it all the way to
29:43
Speaker 8: the end, and unfortunately they don't have any of their
29:46
Speaker 8: weapons to even make it a competitive game. I think
29:49
Speaker 8: this game is going to be really competitive because.
29:52
Speaker 10: Of the offense that the Rams have.
29:53
Speaker 8: It's a challenge for the Seahawks, both interior and on
29:58
Speaker 8: the outside. Right, you come with Davonte Adams, then you
30:01
Speaker 8: have Pookin the cool who is eligibly the second best
30:05
Speaker 8: receiver after JNCN. When you talk about production, making tough
30:08
Speaker 8: catchers and doing everything for an organization when it comes
30:10
Speaker 8: to the running game, that comes to the passing game,
30:13
Speaker 8: and just being a deco on some players. And then
30:15
Speaker 8: Matt Stafford is the reigning MVP at the moment, he
30:19
Speaker 8: will be the MVP. I think when the season is over.
30:21
Speaker 8: He talked about production and his ability to place the
30:24
Speaker 8: ball last week in that game, those challenging moments, well,
30:28
Speaker 8: I think, you know, the Chicago Bears were playing very well,
30:31
Speaker 8: but Matt Stafford stood in there after getting hit making
30:34
Speaker 8: bad plays. They're finding great moments to make those teams.
30:37
Speaker 8: And they talked about the running game of the Rams.
30:40
Speaker 8: You know that's a real challenge too. So what happens
30:44
Speaker 8: is that we have a really great defense. So these
30:46
Speaker 8: are the games that comes down to. You know, at
30:48
Speaker 8: any type of moment, when you were in a championship game,
30:51
Speaker 8: you're not getting a slouch in any type of way
30:53
Speaker 8: or these type of capacity.
30:55
Speaker 10: I think what we have to strength that is our
30:57
Speaker 10: office line versus their defensive line. I think they do
30:59
Speaker 10: a good job out on the defensive line.
31:01
Speaker 8: But there's a lot of holes in the stretch game
31:03
Speaker 8: and the power game that I think could be could
31:05
Speaker 8: be you know, executed and shown to the world what
31:09
Speaker 8: we could do in the run game. I think the
31:10
Speaker 8: playoftion game is going to be very key to Controller
31:15
Speaker 8: and their defense, you know, cheap of them, you know,
31:17
Speaker 8: off balance. But I think Sean mcvay's a very good
31:20
Speaker 8: coach and I think he's probably thinking that. So I
31:22
Speaker 8: expect that they're going to be running a lot of
31:24
Speaker 8: different blitzches this week, and so so will we. Right,
31:27
Speaker 8: Matt stefinitely couldn't pick up the corner blitz one time
31:30
Speaker 8: last week, you know.
31:30
Speaker 10: At number six. But the Bears is making a lot.
31:33
Speaker 8: Of playing so I see that, you know, we could
31:36
Speaker 8: be blitzing a little.
31:37
Speaker 10: Bit on our defense and finding holes.
31:38
Speaker 8: But I think at the end of the day, this
31:40
Speaker 8: game will be a twenty four to twenty four to
31:45
Speaker 8: seventeen type of game. I don't think it's going to
31:47
Speaker 8: be a complete shoutout. I think it's going to be
31:50
Speaker 8: one of those games that's gonna come to the last
31:52
Speaker 8: moment and who has the ball, and we like football
31:55
Speaker 8: like that, right, It's gonna come down to Sam Donald
31:58
Speaker 8: White have the ball in his hand, and JSN and
32:01
Speaker 8: K nine are gonna have to make big plays. And
32:03
Speaker 8: I think that's what this team is gonna That's what
32:05
Speaker 8: is gonna come down to.
32:06
Speaker 2: Michael Bennett, whether it's right here or on Chugging Buck
32:08
Speaker 2: in the Morning, Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM. So,
32:12
Speaker 2: when you were getting ready for this game in the past,
32:15
Speaker 2: here we sit on a Friday morning, we're a little
32:17
Speaker 2: over fifty hours away from from kickoff. I mean, how
32:21
Speaker 2: did you have to like keep yourself from getting too
32:25
Speaker 2: amped up? What was your process for getting to the
32:28
Speaker 2: right level of amp by the time the kickoff started.
32:32
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, you got to practice abstinence.
32:34
Speaker 1: That's the first key, right, strong legs.
32:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's probably the most leged thing, you know, like
32:43
Speaker 10: you're like, oh, you know, that's challenging one, right for
32:47
Speaker 10: Then the second thing is making sure you you know,
32:49
Speaker 10: not overdoing it.
32:50
Speaker 8: You know, it's like, you know, you gotta hit this
32:52
Speaker 8: game as a game, even though it is right. It's like,
32:54
Speaker 8: you know, you gotta watch eat properly and just eat
32:57
Speaker 8: to sleep and not try doing anything.
32:59
Speaker 10: But really, what I.
33:00
Speaker 8: Was trying to do is really trying to watch the
33:02
Speaker 8: keys and understand what the office of round me or
33:05
Speaker 8: offices game the attackers. This week, I think really just
33:08
Speaker 8: kind of just mentally going through the game so physically
33:11
Speaker 8: when it's time to play, your brain will react to
33:13
Speaker 8: things that your your brain will react to things that
33:16
Speaker 8: your body would just do because you've seen it so
33:18
Speaker 8: many times.
33:19
Speaker 2: The most romantic evening ever spent was the night at
33:24
Speaker 2: Michael Bennett's house after forty three to eight over the
33:27
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. Right about that, it was, uh, well, enjoy it, man,
33:37
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun on Sunday. Where are you gonna
33:40
Speaker 2: be for You're gonna be at the stadium. A, you're
33:42
Speaker 2: gonna be home.
33:43
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be at the stadium, I always mister, Okay,
33:47
Speaker 8: so we're gonna be there.
33:48
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna enjoy it.
33:50
Speaker 8: I'm excited about it to see the whole defense and
33:53
Speaker 8: just the office in general and just spear rob offense again.
33:56
Speaker 10: Right, I felt like bo, you know, I don't watch
33:58
Speaker 10: about the football all all the time.
34:00
Speaker 8: But like you know, during playoff time, you'd like to
34:03
Speaker 8: watch it, right, and you want to see the Josh
34:05
Speaker 8: Allens in those moments.
34:06
Speaker 10: And critical moments make those things what it was like.
34:09
Speaker 10: But I'm not going live. Last week was the first
34:11
Speaker 10: time I watched the game. It was like, yo, I
34:14
Speaker 10: kind of wish I was playing, you know what I'm saying.
34:16
Speaker 8: When the last week the stadium was rocking, you know,
34:19
Speaker 8: and like the energy was you know, electric, it was.
34:23
Speaker 10: It was contagious.
34:24
Speaker 8: So I'm excited to be back in that stadium in
34:26
Speaker 8: a game like that and be around the twilows and
34:29
Speaker 8: remember like the home fill advantage where nobody can't hear anything.
34:32
Speaker 10: Brock Perty couldn't hear you couldn't hear Jesus talk. You
34:35
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. It was like it was great.
34:39
Speaker 2: All right, Well have fun. I'm sure a bunch of
34:40
Speaker 2: your teammates will be there by your side on Sunday
34:43
Speaker 2: as well, So, uh, we'll talk to you down the line.
34:45
Speaker 2: We really appreciate this. Thank you, all right. Michael Bennett,
34:49
Speaker 2: former Seahawk, joining us right here on the program, reminding
34:52
Speaker 2: us women weekend legs.
34:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not even gonna go there, but I can
34:59
Speaker 1: tell you I've went there.
35:00
Speaker 3: I mean, he is just my favorite big game.
35:04
Speaker 1: Sorry, not tonight.
35:06
Speaker 2: Well not just Seahawks and Rams, practicing abstinence this week,
35:11
Speaker 2: and soul of the Broncos and Patriots. We'll talk about
35:14
Speaker 2: that game next on kJ R. Let me get to
35:17
Speaker 2: three things in this segment. The number one A little
35:20
Speaker 2: bit of breaking news. Philip Rivers is interviewing today for
35:24
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bill's head coaching job. How about that? So
35:27
Speaker 2: much for needing coaching headed coaching championship experience?
35:32
Speaker 1: Yeah?
35:32
Speaker 2: Un does he count high school? Let's see, I guess
35:35
Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, counting if you count. I was a
35:38
Speaker 2: Philip junior's coach. That's some coaching experience right there. I
35:41
Speaker 2: wrote it down on that napkin. That's there my resume.
35:44
Speaker 3: I just want him to be in the interviews.
35:45
Speaker 2: Same dad gum, dad gum, that's my resume. Yeah, wrote
35:48
Speaker 2: right there on that cocktail napkin. I don't even drink cocktails.
35:52
Speaker 3: I con consider it a kerchief.
35:54
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I think being a quarterback for as
35:58
Speaker 1: long as he was, he wasn't leading how a team
36:01
Speaker 1: goes about their business. But he was a leader of
36:03
Speaker 1: a team. I think he could possibly bring that to
36:05
Speaker 1: the table, and then you for you know, to the
36:08
Speaker 1: leadership wise, and then you surround yourself. He's gonna obviously
36:11
Speaker 1: have a bunch of people that would love to come
36:13
Speaker 1: work for him, and you know, compartmentalize and give everybody
36:17
Speaker 1: delegate them to do what they need to do. Wouldn't
36:20
Speaker 1: be surprised if he wins that interview.
36:22
Speaker 2: I mean, it can work. You just have to. I mean,
36:24
Speaker 2: your first job is hire the right staff with plenty
36:28
Speaker 2: of experience all around you. That's what you've got to
36:30
Speaker 2: get done. So he better have a lot of great
36:32
Speaker 2: connections across the National Football League because he's not going
36:36
Speaker 2: to be experienced enough to do what Sean McDermott did.
36:39
Speaker 2: He's going to have to have knowledge enough to get
36:42
Speaker 2: the experienced guys to take care of all of that
36:44
Speaker 2: stuff so he can just lead and manage.
36:48
Speaker 3: And that's what I was gonna say.
36:48
Speaker 5: That would be the biggest strength I think you would
36:50
Speaker 5: have is the amount of time he spent in the
36:52
Speaker 5: NFL and the connections that he would have made interest
36:54
Speaker 5: really help him out.
36:55
Speaker 2: Interesting interesting green Jacket updates from our draft that we
36:59
Speaker 2: did are postseason fantasy teams that we have Chris Kids
37:03
Speaker 2: looking good. He's up thirty points on Bucky and he
37:07
Speaker 2: still has Kyron Williams and Stefan Diggs remaining. Bucky's in second,
37:11
Speaker 2: he still has Matt Stafford and Courtland Sutton remaining. I'm
37:14
Speaker 2: in third, fifty three points back of Kid. I have
37:18
Speaker 2: Puka Nakua and Sam Darnold, so I'm at least guaranteed
37:21
Speaker 2: somebody in the super Bowl. But I don't think that's enough.
37:24
Speaker 2: And then Ashley, we just won't talk about it.
37:26
Speaker 3: No, we should, It's best that we do.
37:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just leave Ashley alone on Yes.
37:29
Speaker 3: Two injuries really hurt me.
37:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ashley's got a really great spirit.
37:35
Speaker 3: I've got a big I do.
37:37
Speaker 5: But I don't even want to talk about who I
37:38
Speaker 5: have left because let's just pretend I don't have a team.
37:40
Speaker 2: Let's just pretend you're because I don't want.
37:42
Speaker 3: To be a jinx to anyone, because I've jinxed two
37:44
Speaker 3: of the people.
37:46
Speaker 2: And finally, I do want to get Bucky's thoughts. Where
37:50
Speaker 2: we go to the top of the hour, I maybe
37:52
Speaker 2: we'll ask coach about the Patriots Broncos. But how are
37:55
Speaker 2: you feeling might not get a chance to talk about
37:57
Speaker 2: the Broncos Patriots game again? How you feel nervous?
38:01
Speaker 4: What?
38:01
Speaker 1: But I would be nervous regardless of the quarterback injury situation.
38:06
Speaker 1: I feel like it's you gotta rest even more now.
38:10
Speaker 1: On your defense, they Broncos have not ran the ball
38:13
Speaker 1: real well since JK. Dobbins went down. Uh, and bo
38:16
Speaker 1: kind of made up for it with his legs. I
38:18
Speaker 1: don't think Stidham is that guy now. He can run
38:21
Speaker 1: every once in a while if they're playing man. So
38:23
Speaker 1: I think it boils down to they got a pressure, Uh,
38:25
Speaker 1: they got a pressure Drake May and get him to
38:28
Speaker 1: fumble that. He's been sacked a ton this season and
38:31
Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs. So if those guys can get
38:34
Speaker 1: to him and force him to make a few mistakes,
38:36
Speaker 1: I think that's almost necessary for the Broncos to win.
38:38
Speaker 2: Thirty five percent chance of snow and Denver Sunday, that's
38:42
Speaker 2: good eighteen degrees.
38:43
Speaker 1: I'm good with that football weather defensive defensive that it
38:48
Speaker 1: helps that help.
38:49
Speaker 3: Right, although New England also is used to that cold.
38:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not used to being a mile high
38:54
Speaker 1: when it's cold.
38:55
Speaker 3: They sure aren't.
38:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but anything that sort of negates that advantage that
39:00
Speaker 2: May has overstoed him, yeah, only helps stick them.
39:04
Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, yeah.
39:06
Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, You Millan will be with
39:09
Speaker 2: us x IS and OS time right here on Sports
