1:16
Speaker 4: Apparently, so they're giving away twenty five hundred dollars each time.
1:19
Speaker 2: Can't give me a company car, but they got two
1:22
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars lying around. They're just going
1:24
Speaker 2: to hand out to people that don't do anything for

Speaker 2: them except listen.

Speaker 2: three three khr dot com, you'll have a shot at
1:40
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars in cash. That's liberty. I do
1:44
Speaker 2: want to before we start getting into how cool Cole
1:46
Speaker 2: Young is. I do want to finish up how cool
1:49
Speaker 2: Carlos Boozier is. I mean, it's just like he's had
1:53
Speaker 2: his time in the spotlight. You can tell he raised
1:56
Speaker 2: his kids well along with his wife, and there's just
1:59
Speaker 2: like this, no, no, no, I'm just gonna sink into the background.
2:03
Speaker 2: This is all about you. This is all your moment.
2:05
Speaker 2: He doesn't say a word unless you ask him a question.
2:08
Speaker 2: He doesn't say a word. He sits there and chomps
2:10
Speaker 2: his gum and smiles the whole time. He's like the
2:13
Speaker 2: perfect combination of like support, the he bought him matching watches, cute,
2:18
Speaker 2: yeah for it. Even at one point Cameron, his son
2:22
Speaker 2: who's taken third in the draft last night. He stands
2:25
Speaker 2: up and Dad, because he's gone through the experience before,
2:28
Speaker 2: knew well enough that I'm just gonna give you a
2:31
Speaker 2: soft little hug because I know how proud you are
2:33
Speaker 2: of that outfit you're wearing, and I don't want to
2:35
Speaker 2: wrinkle it for you. I'll let Mom do that if
2:38
Speaker 2: she wants to. But I got you, I got your back.
2:41
Speaker 2: So he just gives him a little tap on the
2:43
Speaker 2: ribs and he just like he's the coolest dude in
2:46
Speaker 2: the room. He's got his little bow tie, cocktail jacket on,
2:50
Speaker 2: bow tie going last night. Couldn't have been happier for
2:53
Speaker 2: his kid, and just showing off his family, his like
2:57
Speaker 2: little perfect family there.
2:58
Speaker 3: He's great, good God for all of them.
3:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the Boozers, really like the Boozers. You
3:03
Speaker 2: need your own reality show after the Kardashians, the Boozers.
3:06
Speaker 3: I watched the Boozers.
3:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's watch the Boozers. Actually, some might argue that
3:12
Speaker 2: the Kardashians are boozers. Actually they don't drink that much, dude.
3:15
Speaker 4: I don't believe they do. They're too busy getting plastic surgery.
3:20
Speaker 2: But then again, there are a lot of reality shows
3:23
Speaker 2: featuring boozers, so maybe just different types. All right, Well,
3:27
Speaker 2: let's talk about Cole Young, precious Coal Young, who last
3:31
Speaker 2: night returns to Pittsburgh and hits the game winning home
3:35
Speaker 2: run and nearly knocked it out of the park thanks
3:37
Speaker 2: to Mariner's TV for the call. Still wondering why Aaron
3:42
Speaker 2: thought that was barely going to leave because he nearly
3:46
Speaker 2: knocked it out of the stadium last night. But he
3:50
Speaker 2: had his friend's family, coaches from his childhood showing up
3:54
Speaker 2: for that. It was obviously a special moment. And then
3:57
Speaker 2: classic Coal he downplays it at the end and then
4:00
Speaker 2: this talks about how, hey, we got the win and
4:02
Speaker 2: that's the only important thing. Well, obviously that was a
4:05
Speaker 2: more important night for Cole Young than most. And then
4:08
Speaker 2: for him to be the hitting hero last night in
4:11
Speaker 2: a park he grew up as a kid watching all
4:14
Speaker 2: of the players. Just a special special night for Cole Young,
4:17
Speaker 2: who seems like a special, special young man.
4:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great. It was very cute.
4:21
Speaker 4: They asked him, how are you and your family going
4:22
Speaker 4: to celebrate tonight? That's what Brad Adam asked him. He goes, uh, well,
4:26
Speaker 4: they're probably going to come on the field and we'll
4:27
Speaker 4: talk for a bit.
4:30
Speaker 2: Okay, at least gotta have a horseshoe sandwich. Yeah, you know,
4:34
Speaker 2: well that's when you put French fries on top of
4:36
Speaker 2: the on top of the sandwich. Give me a shoe
4:39
Speaker 2: sandwich or some pies. You should at least be a
4:43
Speaker 2: Pittsburghian and go have some parogi somewhere.
4:45
Speaker 3: I would think. So, you know, they were going to
4:47
Speaker 3: hang out on the field, and Chat is.
4:48
Speaker 2: Going to hang out and chat. Well, I do think,
4:52
Speaker 2: and it's not just because he's a likable young man.
4:56
Speaker 2: I think that there's something special about him. And I
4:59
Speaker 2: said this weeks ago, and I've seen enough evidence now.
5:03
Speaker 2: I mean, you've already extended Colt Emerson on this contract,
5:08
Speaker 2: and that was without him playing one single major league game.
5:12
Speaker 2: We've now gotten to see Cole Young for a little
5:14
Speaker 2: over a year now at the major league level, and
5:17
Speaker 2: he just seems to be getting a little bit better
5:19
Speaker 2: every night. His defense has turned. I mean he's a
5:23
Speaker 2: guy that played shortstuff his entire life. He turns into
5:26
Speaker 2: a second baseman last year and then by this year.
5:30
Speaker 2: Aaron said it last night, I mean the war numbers
5:33
Speaker 2: sort of back it up. He might win a Gold
5:35
Speaker 2: Glove this season. Hell, he might be in the All
5:38
Speaker 2: Star Game this year. I said a couple of weeks
5:41
Speaker 2: ago that maybe he could be the starter, it should
5:43
Speaker 2: be Ernie Clement. I was remiss. I overlooked Ernie Clement.
5:47
Speaker 2: He's having a really good year for the Toronto Blue Jays.
5:50
Speaker 2: But if you voted for Cole Young, I don't think
5:53
Speaker 2: you're a flat out homer. I think Cole Young has
5:57
Speaker 2: earned some votes out there, and may he does end
6:00
Speaker 2: up getting selected to the All Star Game this season.
6:04
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's just a lot of improvement over
6:07
Speaker 2: a short period of time for a young man who,
6:10
Speaker 2: let's be honest. I mean I had numerous Stove podcasts
6:13
Speaker 2: in the offseason with Anders, where I don't know of Anders.
6:17
Speaker 2: I don't know if you the listeners were that confident
6:20
Speaker 2: that we had a short thing at second base, and
6:23
Speaker 2: if nothing else, I think we have a sure thing
6:26
Speaker 2: starting at second base for us every day. I mean,
6:29
Speaker 2: his numbers aren't overwhelming, he's hitting two fifty three in
6:32
Speaker 2: his OPS is under seven hundred right now, but the
6:35
Speaker 2: improvements that he's shown at the plate from last year
6:38
Speaker 2: to this year. Are noticeable. The accolades that he's receiving
6:42
Speaker 2: from other analysts and other towns who are doing broadcasts,
6:46
Speaker 2: who want who can't get enough of this young man
6:50
Speaker 2: and his approach at the plate, his up the middle approach,
6:53
Speaker 2: and then that sneaky thing that he snuck in on
6:56
Speaker 2: us last year that I didn't read in his scout report.
7:01
Speaker 2: Maybe the Mariners knew all along. I don't know. Maybe
7:05
Speaker 2: brand new baseballs on every pitch and top of the
7:08
Speaker 2: line would to swing and state of the art facilities
7:13
Speaker 2: to hit out of. Maybe that's unlocked something for Cole Young.
7:17
Speaker 2: But that young man's got some power. I mean that
7:20
Speaker 2: ball almost left a stadium last night, even though Aaron
7:24
Speaker 2: thought it was a wall scraper. I mean, so the
7:27
Speaker 2: whole combination of it like more power than we expected.
7:32
Speaker 2: Going from I'm learning second base to I might be
7:36
Speaker 2: the Gold Glove Award winner to have the approach look
7:41
Speaker 2: so refined for how early he is in his career.
7:44
Speaker 2: And he gets out of rhythm sometimes and pops the
7:47
Speaker 2: ball up too much in my estimation, but that just approach.
7:51
Speaker 2: I'm trying to hit it up the middle. If I
7:52
Speaker 2: end up hitting out of the yard, I hit it
7:54
Speaker 2: out of the yard. He's got sort of a mature approach.
7:58
Speaker 2: He obviously has a person that isn't grating. If anything,
8:02
Speaker 2: he might be too nice. That might be something that
8:06
Speaker 2: costs him down the line. But think about just how
8:09
Speaker 2: much he's improved from last season to this year. And
8:12
Speaker 2: people forget he was only twenty one years old a
8:15
Speaker 2: year ago when he made his major league debut. I
8:18
Speaker 2: mean I said it, I don't know, six weeks ago.
8:22
Speaker 2: I think I beat everybody else to this comment. I
8:24
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe not probably not his family, But here
8:27
Speaker 2: I said six weeks later, and I'm just gonna like
8:31
Speaker 2: stand on top of the table for it. If cold
8:33
Speaker 2: Emerson was worth that kind of an extension, Cole Young,
8:36
Speaker 2: I think's earned that kind of an extension. And I
8:39
Speaker 2: think that those two have locked up shortstop and second
8:45
Speaker 2: base for the Mariners for the next decade. Minimum I
8:48
Speaker 2: think we have as we might have the best middle
8:51
Speaker 2: infield in Major League Baseball. Not right now, not just yet. Well,
8:56
Speaker 2: it's brewing, it's coming together, and I think within a
9:01
Speaker 2: year or two it might be the flagship middle end
9:05
Speaker 2: field in the entire sport. And I think that it
9:09
Speaker 2: will be then for another five plus years beyond that,
9:13
Speaker 2: that's what we've got going up the middle. So special combination,
9:16
Speaker 2: special young men, which is also a part of it
9:19
Speaker 2: as well. And I think that the Mariners have struck
9:23
Speaker 2: gold with these two.
9:24
Speaker 3: No, absolutely.
9:25
Speaker 4: And I was looking this up earlier because somebody had
9:28
Speaker 4: sent in a text saying something about Cole jng and
9:30
Speaker 4: his defense, and I went and looked at his defensive war.
9:36
Speaker 4: So he's got a one point five defensive war. That's
9:40
Speaker 4: number one on the team. It's actually number one for
9:43
Speaker 4: second baseman. It's ahead of any of the shortstops. If
9:48
Speaker 4: you look at let's see third base, there's one third baseman,
9:52
Speaker 4: it looks like Matt Chapman has a one point six
9:55
Speaker 4: defensive war. So I'm I mean, he's defensively just and
10:00
Speaker 4: again on a newer position to him. So yeah, I
10:03
Speaker 4: think I just I'm excited to see where he goes,
10:06
Speaker 4: I really am.
10:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the ways put together, like the broad shoulders
10:10
Speaker 2: that he has, I mean, he looked like a child
10:13
Speaker 2: just a year ago, and for whatever reason since that time.
10:16
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the weight room, I don't know,
10:18
Speaker 2: it's just man weight. He's just filling it out. But
10:20
Speaker 2: like you know, the other day, people were like kind
10:23
Speaker 2: of like rolling up their sleeves with the Sunday uniform
10:27
Speaker 2: the other day for Father's Day. His are already flaring out,
10:32
Speaker 2: like the shirt's already flaring out. So he's like still
10:35
Speaker 2: growing into his man body at this stage in his career.
10:40
Speaker 2: And so I don't know, I think we've got something
10:44
Speaker 2: really terrific in this young man. And he's just starting,
10:47
Speaker 2: he's just getting started. But it's real.
10:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marinis fans should be very excited.
10:51
Speaker 2: Should be over the moon about it. And to have
10:54
Speaker 2: Emerson at shorts up and he's having his little woes
10:57
Speaker 2: right now. He's having a little bit of a scuffle
10:58
Speaker 2: himself right now. Batting averages dip down to two nineteen.
11:02
Speaker 2: He's made a couple of little mistakes in the infield
11:06
Speaker 2: here as of late. But those two together, twenty two
11:11
Speaker 2: and twenty, like, I mean, it's scary how good they
11:15
Speaker 2: can become. So let's lock them up. I think that's
11:18
Speaker 2: the next order of business. I brought this up to
11:21
Speaker 2: Ryan Heay a few weeks ago. He says, don't you
11:22
Speaker 2: think you go pitchers first? In terms of extensions and
11:28
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball teams just don't do that. They're just
11:31
Speaker 2: too big of injury risks. So yeah, you can extend
11:34
Speaker 2: them when they're close, when you're close to losing them.
11:38
Speaker 2: But you just don't find a lot of extensions given
11:41
Speaker 2: to pitching prospects. I don't even think Paul Skeens has
11:44
Speaker 2: one at this point, and that would be the most
11:49
Speaker 2: that would be the most significant candidate of all time
11:53
Speaker 2: you would think as a pitching prospect. Garrett Crochet was
11:57
Speaker 2: given one. Now, he was closer than where Cole or
12:00
Speaker 2: Colt are at this point, but he was given an
12:03
Speaker 2: extension years before he was going to become a free agent.
12:06
Speaker 2: And look what happened. He can't get on the field
12:08
Speaker 2: this year because he's injured. This is why they don't
12:09
Speaker 2: do it. This goes all the way back to Matt Moore.
12:13
Speaker 2: This shows you how different the finances have become in
12:15
Speaker 2: a very very short period of time. But Matt Moore
12:18
Speaker 2: back in twenty eleven signed a whopping extension five seasons,
12:22
Speaker 2: fourteen million dollars.
12:24
Speaker 3: Oh that's all yeah, wow.
12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this was the first for a pitcher. But
12:30
Speaker 2: the Rays had seen enough in his first nineteen major
12:33
Speaker 2: league innings to extend him and he was fine. He was.
12:37
Speaker 2: He had a good career, he was on the map,
12:40
Speaker 2: but he didn't turn into anything special as a major leaguer,
12:44
Speaker 2: and so they just it's just not something that you
12:48
Speaker 2: do with pitchers, not this early in the ballgame. Maybe
12:53
Speaker 2: Logan certainly logan, we're going to try to extend him
12:56
Speaker 2: in the offseason, But I think that it's it's more
12:59
Speaker 2: of a position player kind of racket that where you
13:03
Speaker 2: lock him down and try to buy out the first
13:05
Speaker 2: couple of years of their free agency because you believe
13:09
Speaker 2: that you believe enough in that guy that, hey, if
13:11
Speaker 2: we're going to buy two years of free agency, you
13:15
Speaker 2: want to know how many millions that could end up
13:17
Speaker 2: saving us if he turns out to be the player
13:19
Speaker 2: that we think he's going to be. So you pay
13:22
Speaker 2: him early in order to save late and just get
13:24
Speaker 2: a couple extra years out of that guy before he
13:28
Speaker 2: becomes bigger than your marketplace, bigger than your payroll. So
13:33
Speaker 2: that's why I do look at Cole Young as an
13:36
Speaker 2: extension candidate, maybe more so than I look at any
13:40
Speaker 2: of our pitchers at this stage.
13:42
Speaker 4: I could see that especially because of this, I mean,
13:44
Speaker 4: just the situation defensively that we're in and how he's
13:48
Speaker 4: already kind of owned second base. I just think, yeah,
13:53
Speaker 4: that makes sense to me. You just as you said earlier,
13:55
Speaker 4: you did it with Colt Emerson. It makes sense to
13:57
Speaker 4: lock up another young player right now rather than run
14:00
Speaker 4: the risk of, you know, waiting too.
14:02
Speaker 2: Long and then you still have Felmon Celeston, who's also
14:06
Speaker 2: killing it in the minor leagues this year. Right now,
14:09
Speaker 2: he might be the future third baseman of this team,
14:12
Speaker 2: because I think we know who our future second basement,
14:14
Speaker 2: in our future shortstop are going to be. I heard
14:19
Speaker 2: iroed Greg bell goes far yesterday to say that maybe
14:22
Speaker 2: Cole Young's the MVP of this team so far this season,
14:26
Speaker 2: which is crazy to think about, And yet I don't
14:29
Speaker 2: think it's that crazy of a statement to make. I
14:32
Speaker 2: would say it's probably Randy a rose Arena, believe it
14:34
Speaker 2: or not. Despite all of that hair pulling and headaches
14:38
Speaker 2: that sometimes he causes us, he's been our most consistent
14:41
Speaker 2: offensive weapon this season. I think maybe he might be
14:46
Speaker 2: the MVP of the team or Emerson Hancock. As insane
14:50
Speaker 2: as that sounds, but those are probably three leading candidates.
14:54
Speaker 2: Emerson Handcock, Cole Young, and Randy Rosie.
14:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, and two of them are real young, So I'll
14:58
Speaker 3: take that.
14:59
Speaker 2: Would you have ever thought that at the beginning of
15:02
Speaker 2: the year, And so, yeah, I just wanted to, you know,
15:05
Speaker 2: wax on about Cole Young this morning, and he certainly
15:09
Speaker 2: has earned it to this point in the season. But yeah,
15:13
Speaker 2: some special stuff going on with this organization and some
15:17
Speaker 2: of the finds that they make. It's got to make
15:19
Speaker 2: you really, you know, of all the criticisms that the
15:22
Speaker 2: Mariners organization receives. And yeah, obviously all organizations, all players
15:29
Speaker 2: are all general managers, all managers, all coaches are open
15:34
Speaker 2: to criticism. They're not all doing it the right way.
15:36
Speaker 2: Everybody's got holes in their game. Everybody's got weaknesses, no
15:39
Speaker 2: matter what your job is, and so they can be criticized,
15:46
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. But I'll tell you one
15:48
Speaker 2: of the areas that their most difficult to criticize is drafting.
15:53
Speaker 2: Man do they draft? They draft their asses off. So
15:57
Speaker 2: it suddenly gets you to the point where you look
15:59
Speaker 2: forward to the draft of Major League Baseball, which not
16:03
Speaker 2: a lot of people do. I don't even look all
16:06
Speaker 2: that much forward to the Major League Baseball draft, not
16:09
Speaker 2: one of my favorite events of the entire year. Because
16:11
Speaker 2: of how long away they probably are from being major
16:15
Speaker 2: contributors to the team. But man, if you've been following
16:20
Speaker 2: as a Mariner fan as of late, you're probably pretty
16:23
Speaker 2: pumped about next month and finding out who the next
16:25
Speaker 2: guy that they're going to score in the draft. Nobody's
16:28
Speaker 2: this good. Nobody consistently hits on their first round selections
16:33
Speaker 2: like this organization, I mean, in the history of the sport.
16:36
Speaker 2: But the way that they have consistently hit with their
16:39
Speaker 2: first round selections is very, very impressive. All Right, Coming
16:42
Speaker 2: up next on the radio show, anders Hurst is going
16:45
Speaker 2: to join us. We're going to preview tomorrow's huge match
16:48
Speaker 2: against turk Ia on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
17:14
Speaker 2: All Right, World Cup action continues, a couple of big
17:18
Speaker 2: surprises yesterday. We're getting ready for round number thrift of
17:23
Speaker 2: the group one stage, the group stage, i should say,
17:27
Speaker 2: and it starts today. We actually have a match right
17:30
Speaker 2: down the street at noon and it will be Qatar
17:35
Speaker 2: Cutter versus Bosnia Herzegovina. That's the match up at noon.
17:40
Speaker 2: Us won't play until tomorrow at seven o'clock. And they've
17:45
Speaker 2: already kind of salted away everything they needed to salt Away,
17:48
Speaker 2: so joining us now on the radio program. He has
17:52
Speaker 2: become a hub for our World Cup coverage, that's for sure.
17:56
Speaker 2: It is our own anders Hers. Good morning, sir, Good morning.
18:00
Speaker 1: What a day to go World cupping, isn't it?
18:02
Speaker 2: Chuck? Yeah? How do you go? World cuping? Should be
18:06
Speaker 2: the approach, It should be the dress, the attitude. How
18:09
Speaker 2: do you go world cuping?
18:12
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think you probably just you kind of lean
18:15
Speaker 1: all the way into it and wear a soccer ball
18:18
Speaker 1: on top of your head, maybe maybe some some extra
18:22
Speaker 1: short shorts with the long socks. Uh, and then you
18:26
Speaker 1: just you start chanting and uh vulgar insults towards whoever
18:31
Speaker 1: you want to uh do it again. Wow.
18:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's an advice right there. I'll tell you what,
18:41
Speaker 2: how is it gone for you? I mean, I will say,
18:44
Speaker 2: as you know, I'm not a big soccer fan, but
18:47
Speaker 2: I thought Friday was wonderful. But you're working pretty much
18:51
Speaker 2: round the clock. Has this been the experience thus far
18:54
Speaker 2: that you hoped it would be?
18:56
Speaker 4: Uh?
18:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's for the neutral. I will say
19:01
Speaker 1: it's been one of the best World Cups. It just
19:04
Speaker 1: the atmosphere, all the stadiums look fantastic. But more than
19:09
Speaker 1: anything else, it's it's the players. Every single star has
19:13
Speaker 1: now showed up in this tournament. It's all the big
19:17
Speaker 1: names have done something fantastic, whether it's Laynel Messi obviously
19:21
Speaker 1: with five goals through two games, Earling Holland has four
19:24
Speaker 1: goals through two games in his first World Cup. Killian
19:27
Speaker 1: Ambape has four goals through two games. And now the
19:31
Speaker 1: one you could say that hadn't shown up through the
19:34
Speaker 1: first game was Christiano Ronaldo and he gets two goals yesterday,
19:38
Speaker 1: so he's like joining the party, let's go. So yeah.
19:41
Speaker 1: I think the expanded format had a lot of people
19:45
Speaker 1: questioning whether it would kind of dilute the competition. But
19:49
Speaker 1: you've had a good mix of like Cinderella stories. Looking
19:54
Speaker 1: at Cape Verde they have a chance to move on,
19:56
Speaker 1: maybe the Congo as well, but also kind of getting
20:00
Speaker 1: everyone the opportunity, and I think we're set for an
20:03
Speaker 1: outstanding knockout stage.
20:05
Speaker 2: Harry Kane had a good first match and then yesterday
20:08
Speaker 2: they draw with Ghana. How are they feeling in England
20:12
Speaker 2: this morning?
20:14
Speaker 1: Yeah? I talked to Danny Jackson yesterday, my England correspondent.
20:18
Speaker 1: I like to call him because he's kind of in
20:20
Speaker 1: touch with everything. He has an accent if you guys
20:22
Speaker 1: didn't know that.
20:24
Speaker 2: But.
20:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is very second. It's annoying when you're kind
20:28
Speaker 1: of broadcasting with him and I just found normal and
20:30
Speaker 1: then I got the Englishman next to me and it's like,
20:32
Speaker 1: damn it, all right, you're kind of showing me up here.
20:35
Speaker 1: But he kind of said it was. There were a
20:38
Speaker 1: couple worrying signs. I from my point of view, I
20:42
Speaker 1: still think Ghana's better than a lot of people think.
20:45
Speaker 1: I kind of compare it to the Congo drawing versus
20:47
Speaker 1: Portugal in their first game. The way they just defend
20:52
Speaker 1: is always going to be frustrating, and they know how
20:56
Speaker 1: to get results just by you know, frustrating the opponent,
21:01
Speaker 1: not allowing a lot of opportunities. And you know, there
21:04
Speaker 1: was a chance at the very end of the game
21:06
Speaker 1: that Harry Kane had just kind of steal it and
21:08
Speaker 1: he put it over and you expect him to score that.
21:10
Speaker 1: But I think if England anything else, needs to figure
21:14
Speaker 1: out who their best eleven players are because I don't
21:17
Speaker 1: think they really have found that, you know, winning combination
21:20
Speaker 1: like other teams have. So once they do that, I
21:24
Speaker 1: think they'll be in fine shape.
21:26
Speaker 2: Andrews Hurst is with us. We've turned him into a
21:29
Speaker 2: World Cup expert here, or he's turned himself into one
21:33
Speaker 2: right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
21:36
Speaker 2: As we lean heavily into he and Jackson Felts knowledge
21:39
Speaker 2: of the beautiful game and of the world event that
21:42
Speaker 2: is the World Cup. He joins us here on Chuck
21:45
Speaker 2: and Buck this morning. All right, so US takes on
21:48
Speaker 2: turk Aa tomorrow. I would ask you, how do you
21:54
Speaker 2: even approach this match when you've already kind of cemented
21:58
Speaker 2: everything you hoped to cement in the group stage. I mean,
22:03
Speaker 2: I would imagine Polistics not playing right in this match tomorrow,
22:08
Speaker 2: And how will they go about strategy wise? I mean,
22:12
Speaker 2: do you care if you win? Do you care who plays?
22:16
Speaker 2: When you've already locked up what you were seeking to
22:19
Speaker 2: lock up?
22:20
Speaker 1: Yeah? See for this one, I actually lean more towards
22:24
Speaker 1: try to change as little as possible from what you
22:28
Speaker 1: have done in the first couple of games. I think
22:31
Speaker 1: they need to continue the momentum that they have built.
22:33
Speaker 1: The more time in competitive matches that this group plays together,
22:39
Speaker 1: the better they will be. So even if it is
22:42
Speaker 1: I guess you wouldn't necessarily call this a competitive match
22:45
Speaker 1: because both Turkey is eliminated and the US have already
22:49
Speaker 1: clinched the first place in the group. So but playing
22:53
Speaker 1: against another team not in training is kind of what
22:56
Speaker 1: I'm going for there. It's so important to kind of
23:01
Speaker 1: continue that with international teams. You get so little time
23:06
Speaker 1: together in training playing in games that so much of
23:11
Speaker 1: the successful teams are just guys that know each other really,
23:14
Speaker 1: really well. And one of the reasons that a lot
23:17
Speaker 1: of people have questions about this US men's national team
23:19
Speaker 1: coming into the tournament is because they played in so
23:21
Speaker 1: many different places. There's not really like one club where
23:23
Speaker 1: a lot of the the players are they really know
23:26
Speaker 1: each other that you can just kind of throw that
23:28
Speaker 1: onto the field and have it work out. They have
23:31
Speaker 1: to kind of build that. And the more your time
23:33
Speaker 1: you're able to get together, you know, playing in competitive matches,
23:38
Speaker 1: that's gonna build that even more. And you want to
23:40
Speaker 1: kind of build on what you what you've become, what
23:43
Speaker 1: you have kind of built here in the first couple
23:46
Speaker 1: of games. I've said build a lot in that sentence.
23:48
Speaker 1: But it's the big thing, though, is you want to
23:52
Speaker 1: anyone who has a yellow card, you want to kind
23:55
Speaker 1: of keep on the wraps because if you don't want
23:59
Speaker 1: them suspended for the knockout stages, and then anyone with
24:04
Speaker 1: a nagging injury like you mentioned Christian Polistic, I would
24:07
Speaker 1: expect he if this match were meaningful, he would be playing,
24:13
Speaker 1: And under that impression, I would still get him probably
24:17
Speaker 1: maybe you know, fifteen to thirty minutes of time at
24:19
Speaker 1: the end of the game, because you don't want him
24:21
Speaker 1: coming into the knockout stage in a must win game
24:26
Speaker 1: completely without playing a game in two and a half weeks.
24:29
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be important that he gets some time.
24:33
Speaker 1: But you obviously don't want to, you know, overdo it
24:35
Speaker 1: here as well. So that's kind of the balance that
24:37
Speaker 1: I would play.
24:38
Speaker 2: All I like it, that makes sense. What do we
24:40
Speaker 2: already know about the US tournaments beyond tomorrow night?
24:48
Speaker 1: You mean, like who they might be playing and stuff
24:51
Speaker 1: like that.
24:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like we already know that they're playing Wednesday, right
24:54
Speaker 2: next Wednesday? Yes, all right? And who they would play?
24:59
Speaker 2: Who are the candidates for them to play next Wednesday.
25:03
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different ones. It all depends on
25:06
Speaker 1: how other teams kind of fair. I think the most
25:12
Speaker 1: likely would be either Bosnia or Qatar, depending on who
25:17
Speaker 1: gets third place in that group. And then it's not
25:20
Speaker 1: even just the third place team in one group. It
25:23
Speaker 1: has to it's all based on all of the third
25:26
Speaker 1: place teams and which team has the most or least points,
25:29
Speaker 1: and it all matches up. There's a ton of different
25:32
Speaker 1: scenarios that will play out. The US are in a
25:34
Speaker 1: spot where they already know the exact spot in the
25:37
Speaker 1: bracket that they will be playing. It's important that they
25:41
Speaker 1: kind of just don't worry about, you know, what specific
25:45
Speaker 1: opponents they might be playing. But I believe if the
25:48
Speaker 1: tournament ended right now, the United States would actually be
25:51
Speaker 1: playing Algeria. So there's a couple different ways that can go.
25:57
Speaker 1: There's there's a scenario I think you can play Sweden,
26:00
Speaker 1: which would be an interesting match. There's a scenario in
26:02
Speaker 1: which they would play the Ivory Coast, which would be
26:04
Speaker 1: an interesting match. Ecuador is another possibility. It's all depending
26:08
Speaker 1: on how that third place wild card little table plays out.
26:13
Speaker 1: This is all new for me, to be honest with you, Yeah,
26:16
Speaker 1: because this is the first time we've had that. It's
26:18
Speaker 1: always just been first place from this group play second
26:21
Speaker 1: place from this group and boom, there you go. But
26:24
Speaker 1: this is a little different of a format and I
26:26
Speaker 1: kind of like it because it sets up a really
26:28
Speaker 1: interesting kind of NCAA tournament vibe for the round of
26:31
Speaker 1: thirty two.
26:32
Speaker 2: All right, last thirty seconds minute, Can you give me
26:36
Speaker 2: a breakdown of what Turk brings to the table here.
26:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've had a disappointing tournament. They're already eliminated. Obviously,
26:45
Speaker 1: they haven't scored in two games, but they've been the
26:47
Speaker 1: more dominant offensive side in their two games. So I
26:51
Speaker 1: would expect them to come and try and least prove
26:53
Speaker 1: something to their fans, to the world that they had
26:57
Speaker 1: a lot of expectations coming into this tournament. So I
27:00
Speaker 1: would expect them to try and get on the ball
27:02
Speaker 1: a little bit more than the two teams that America
27:04
Speaker 1: or the United States has played so far. And you know,
27:08
Speaker 1: just some pride. This is what this tournament's all about.
27:10
Speaker 1: It's the country pride, and they're going to look to
27:14
Speaker 1: kind of prove something here in this third game. They
27:15
Speaker 1: were supposed to be the second best team in this
27:17
Speaker 1: group and they're going to want to come out and
27:18
Speaker 1: show it.
27:19
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff as always, Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
27:22
Speaker 2: Where are you going to be today?
27:25
Speaker 1: Well, we got Mexico Chechia as our pre half post
27:30
Speaker 1: game broadcasted today pregame five thirty kickoff six o'clock with
27:35
Speaker 1: myself and Brad Evans, So listen to it on the
27:38
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app or I believe that game's on nine point
27:41
Speaker 1: fifty KJR.
27:42
Speaker 2: Okay Man, great stuff. As always, we appreciate it.
27:45
Speaker 1: Have fun, all right, Thanks Chuck Calculator anders Hearst.
27:49
Speaker 2: Where would we be without him joining us right here
27:51
Speaker 2: on Chuck and Buck in the morning. All right? Coming
27:53
Speaker 2: up next here on the radio program. More on another
27:56
Speaker 2: one of the big stories that we're discussing today in
27:59
Speaker 2: sports talk radio. It affects all markets, all communities, all
28:03
Speaker 2: sports fans. And that's the Brendan Soresby situation. And how
28:09
Speaker 2: I think maybe Brendan should resolve this issue for himself.
28:13
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that in next Sports Radio ninety three point
28:16
Speaker 2: three kJ R f M. My poor niece. She wanted
28:36
Speaker 2: to open up a pickleball cafe before anybody else did it.
28:41
Speaker 2: She loves herself from pickleball, used to be a tennis player.
28:45
Speaker 3: Sod she open one?
28:47
Speaker 2: No, she didn't. She just sat on the idea for
28:50
Speaker 2: a long long time still probably is sitting on it.
28:52
Speaker 2: And then I have to hear the advertising people beat
28:55
Speaker 2: her to the punch.
28:57
Speaker 3: Yeah for her.
28:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, pickleball people really just want a cafe. They want
29:00
Speaker 2: a sandwich, a drink, and to play pickleball all day long.
29:05
Speaker 2: And it really obsessed.
29:06
Speaker 4: Every sandwich should come with a pickle on the side,
29:08
Speaker 4: because otherwise, what are you doing with your life?
29:09
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yeah, And I love pickles on sandwiches more now
29:14
Speaker 2: today than ever. So that's a pretty good idea. So
29:18
Speaker 2: it's got to be yeah, and it's got to come
29:20
Speaker 2: on like the stick and then it goes you know
29:22
Speaker 2: where it goes through the sandwich and always Yeah, you
29:24
Speaker 2: gotta do that.
29:25
Speaker 3: That works. You don't want it to fall over.
29:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wanted to do that at your.
29:28
Speaker 3: Pickleball pickles pickleball cafe.
29:31
Speaker 2: The only problem is that Chris Egan will never leave.
29:35
Speaker 2: He'll never go home to see his family.
29:36
Speaker 3: That's true.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, his poor wife, with all of her throw.
29:38
Speaker 3: Pillows, she might think, she might not think it's a problem.
29:42
Speaker 2: She will love it. Well, since you know, since you
29:48
Speaker 2: can't go to my niece's pickleball cafe. Since she got
29:51
Speaker 2: beat to the punch, you can go to Tilelap Resort Casino.
29:54
Speaker 2: She never had that idea. The Draftking sports Book is
29:57
Speaker 2: waiting for you, and you got all sorts of the
30:00
Speaker 2: this soccer action going on, World Cup action going on,
30:03
Speaker 2: us playing tomorrow night. Maybe make a night of it.
30:06
Speaker 2: Go have dinner, go play some games, then place a
30:10
Speaker 2: few bets and then sit there and watch some sports
30:12
Speaker 2: action at the beautiful DraftKings Sports Book Talalap Resort Casino.
30:16
Speaker 2: When all you want is everything.
30:17
Speaker 3: You can hit up the slots on the way to
30:19
Speaker 3: the bathroom. That's the best part.
30:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might run into Brendan Soresby while you're there.
30:22
Speaker 3: You might.
30:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that he doesn't have anything to do.
30:24
Speaker 4: Just remember you got to know when to hold him
30:26
Speaker 4: and know when to fold him, and don't bet on
30:28
Speaker 4: your own team.
30:30
Speaker 2: So Brendan Soorsby is now without a path. He decided
30:36
Speaker 2: to turn away from college football. And I'll just enter
30:39
Speaker 2: that supplemental draft that I've been hearing about, and I'll
30:42
Speaker 2: just start this clock on my NFL career. And the
30:46
Speaker 2: NFL was met him at the gates. You shall not pass. Yeah,
30:52
Speaker 2: you didn't think this went through. We have far more
30:55
Speaker 2: power than that ridiculous NCAA that you've been dealing with,
31:00
Speaker 2: and you couldn't even get through their red tape that
31:03
Speaker 2: they threw at you. So if you think you're getting
31:05
Speaker 2: past us and the shield, you can forget about it.
31:08
Speaker 2: You will wait. You will pay you the sentence of
31:11
Speaker 2: a year waiting to enter next year's NFL draft. But
31:15
Speaker 2: we're not going to create a supplemental draft for you,
31:18
Speaker 2: considering the lack of integrity that you've shown in your collegiate.
31:22
Speaker 4: Career well and the fact that it was kind of
31:25
Speaker 4: I mean, the reason he's entering the NFL is because
31:27
Speaker 4: he tried to fight college football to go back. And
31:31
Speaker 4: then they were like, yes, temporarily, this judge will give
31:35
Speaker 4: you some some sort of thing.
31:36
Speaker 3: But the NCTWA was going to come at them.
31:38
Speaker 4: All with all their fingernails and everything, but all they
31:42
Speaker 4: have left now, yeah, exactly, they were just going to
31:44
Speaker 4: fling fingernails at him, and he was like, well, hold on,
31:47
Speaker 4: I don't think I want to deal with this.
31:49
Speaker 2: Rose, and then it rose Ina, Yeah, your fingernails.
31:53
Speaker 3: I'm going to the NFL's dirty Yeah I could.
31:56
Speaker 2: Why didn't you just say.
31:57
Speaker 4: No, yeah, basically, and then so he was like, uh,
32:00
Speaker 4: all right, I'll just go to the NFL. That'll be better.
32:02
Speaker 4: And the NFL is like, first of all, we are
32:04
Speaker 4: not a second choice. Second of all, you don't come
32:07
Speaker 4: to us with three days before our deadline and decide
32:10
Speaker 4: yeah here, look I'm a yeah, look at me.
32:12
Speaker 3: I should be in your supplemental draft.
32:14
Speaker 2: Yeah. They shot him down. They shot him down. So
32:17
Speaker 2: Brandon Soresby does, I mean he's going to his attorney's
32:20
Speaker 2: going to file. He's going to fight through the NFLPA
32:24
Speaker 2: to get into the into the NFL and to force
32:29
Speaker 2: them to have a supplemental draft. I suppose. I don't
32:31
Speaker 2: think it's gonna work. And then it looks like the
32:34
Speaker 2: college doors are closed unless he wants to try to
32:37
Speaker 2: reopen those legally, he might go that direction. Here's my
32:41
Speaker 2: solution for him, and that is the UFL. What is
32:48
Speaker 2: it there for if not this? And I'm not saying
32:52
Speaker 2: that we should send all of our criminals and malcontents
32:57
Speaker 2: to the UFL.
32:59
Speaker 3: It's like the US of the NFL.
33:01
Speaker 2: But in terms of them trying to like make their dent,
33:04
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like the perfect guy. Uh, they
33:08
Speaker 2: have eight teams. For goodness sake, they should pay a
33:11
Speaker 2: little bit extra. They should make themselves a little financially
33:14
Speaker 2: uncomfortable to make sure that they have a quarterback that
33:17
Speaker 2: can gain attention, can gain viewers. This is where Brendan
33:21
Speaker 2: Soresby should go. This is where he should head for
33:24
Speaker 2: one year. One year, show everybody what they what they've
33:28
Speaker 2: been missing. And then I think Diego Pavia should be
33:33
Speaker 2: a UFL quarterback right now. That's who Rick new Eiel
33:36
Speaker 2: should be talking to. And he's got some He he
33:39
Speaker 2: tarnished his NFL prospects by being a being a turd,
33:45
Speaker 2: like revealing to us that he's always been a turd. Apparently.
33:48
Speaker 2: Now he signed a one million dollar per year deal.
33:51
Speaker 2: I don't know if people realize that he's getting paid
33:52
Speaker 2: a million dollars a year to try and make the
33:55
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens roster. Now none guaranteed. If he doesn't make
34:00
Speaker 2: the roster, he doesn't get the money. But he signed
34:02
Speaker 2: a three or three million dollar deal. So even the
34:05
Speaker 2: guy that doesn't get drafted, that gets invited to camp
34:09
Speaker 2: could make a million dollars a year in the National
34:11
Speaker 2: Football League. So the UFL's got to go a little
34:14
Speaker 2: further than that. But these are the type of guy
34:16
Speaker 2: UFL should be trying to seduce Cam Newton to play.
34:19
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm not going to be something.
34:21
Speaker 2: He keeps saying he can play. He keeps saying he's
34:23
Speaker 2: better than all these starters and backups. Right now, Well,
34:27
Speaker 2: there's a place that you can go prove it. It's
34:29
Speaker 2: the it's the minor league. And they're wayward. They don't
34:32
Speaker 2: know what they are, they don't know what direction that
34:34
Speaker 2: they're heading. They should have taken my advice reckless at
34:37
Speaker 2: breakfast seven years ago, and you should have gone after
34:39
Speaker 2: eighteen year olds and turned into an eighteen to twenty
34:42
Speaker 2: two year old league. You'd be mopping up right now
34:45
Speaker 2: since they've gone to nil. But you were too late.
34:48
Speaker 2: As soon as they get went to nil, then they
34:50
Speaker 2: were getting paid. So you're not going to be able
34:53
Speaker 2: to outpay them what Texas Tech pays them. So they're
34:57
Speaker 2: looking for a direction, like are we going to stick around?
35:00
Speaker 2: What are we? Are we a minor league? Then why
35:01
Speaker 2: is the NFL not helping us? Are? You know? And
35:04
Speaker 2: so this to me is it it's like the longest yard.
35:08
Speaker 2: You know, you do take all of those that don't
35:10
Speaker 2: have a home. All those football players that need to
35:13
Speaker 2: prove themselves as players, leaders, human beings, law abiding citizens,
35:18
Speaker 2: that should be where what you should do. That's what
35:21
Speaker 2: you should become. Become the place where people have a
35:25
Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder and want to prove to the
35:26
Speaker 2: world that I still got some football left in me. Yeah.
35:30
Speaker 2: Cam Newton should be the quarterback of the Dallas Renegades
35:33
Speaker 2: and the Birmingham Stallion's quarterback should be you know, Colin Kaepernick,
35:37
Speaker 2: fifty year old college.
35:39
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how you're going to get eyeballs on it, right.
35:41
Speaker 4: People love a redemption story. And if they get to
35:43
Speaker 4: the quarterbacks, yeah, and if they get to go and
35:46
Speaker 4: watch these people that get to put their money where
35:49
Speaker 4: their mouth is, really, I mean, you're going to get
35:51
Speaker 4: more in interest in the uf AL.
35:54
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean you've got to dangle some sort of
35:57
Speaker 2: shiny object. If you have a shiny object, that quarterback,
36:00
Speaker 2: whether he's considered a villain or not. If you can
36:05
Speaker 2: dangle a shiny object, people are gonna come watch it. Yeah,
36:08
Speaker 2: because it's number one, it's football, and number two, you've
36:11
Speaker 2: given them a reason to watch. You can have a
36:13
Speaker 2: bunch of no names at every other position, but have
36:15
Speaker 2: a name quality at quarterback. I think you make yourself
36:20
Speaker 2: a little financially uncomfortable. Pay these guys two three million
36:23
Speaker 2: dollars a year, even if everybody else is making forty
36:25
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a year on the football field, to
36:28
Speaker 2: try to get it stimulated. And Brendan Soresby, this is
36:32
Speaker 2: where he should go. It's where Diego Pavia should go,
36:35
Speaker 2: and it shows where Cam Newton should be playing next year.
36:37
Speaker 4: I think it's a great idea. And again, I think
36:40
Speaker 4: that's how you're gonna get people to actually watch it.
36:41
Speaker 3: Russell, there you go. You can do it on his
36:45
Speaker 3: side gig from CBS.
36:46
Speaker 2: I wouldn't let him do that. Yeah, if I was
36:48
Speaker 2: the UFL, I said, why don't you just play with
36:50
Speaker 2: us on Sundays. You can still do your side gig
36:52
Speaker 2: on CBS. What do you say?
36:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd probably do it. Yeah, they have games on
36:56
Speaker 4: like Fridays and Saturdays.
36:57
Speaker 2: All you gotta do is whisper in his ear. You're
36:58
Speaker 2: the best.
36:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd be the best UFL quarterback ever.
37:04
Speaker 4: And yeah, and careful it's spicy.
37:09
Speaker 2: Watch my watch. Yeah, you're getting closer.
37:13
Speaker 3: People love you.
37:14
Speaker 2: People love you. You're getting sleepy. It's convincing you to
37:18
Speaker 2: play for the Birmingham Stallion.
37:20
Speaker 3: You're going to be the next Renegades quarterback.
37:23
Speaker 2: You're going to this Skyhawk all right coming, I'm next
37:26
