  Speaker 2: We've got it all mapped out for you can't wait
• 1:11

  Speaker 2: I'll get it for you. Good morning to George. Welcome
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: into the radio program. Yes, it is Draftmas season and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we are going to have time to do the Draftmas catalog.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Now that's it for the rest of the show. This
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is the only time that we have to dive to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: do the Draftmaus catalog. So that's what we'll dive into
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: on a very busy Wednesday. When I say we, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: mean Ashley Ryan and myself. My name is Chuck Powello
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson here today, and yet we trudge along with
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a very very exciting game plan for you today.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, indeed we had a lot to talk about it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot to do, a lot to do. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the Draftmas catalog is a big part of our Draftmas celebration.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: What is Draftmas? That is our week, excuse me, month
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: long countdown to the NFL Draft, something that I believe
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: smacks very much of Christmas. There are draft picks waiting
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: for us that we will learn, we will get to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: unwrap from Schneider Claus on Draft Day, which is now
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: fifteen days away, and on that day all of that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: speculation will be over. And so it feels very much
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: like draft. There's a lot like Christmas. There's just a
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: lot of build up, there's a lot of hype, there's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of rumor, there's a lot of speculation, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we will, we know, get our payoff during Draft week
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: fifteen days from today. So every year, the Draftmas Catalog
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: goes out and we on this show take one persit
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: one position every other day on the radio program to discuss.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And then there are Schneiderbuck values placed next to each
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: one of the players. Because Ashley she's putting together her
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: wish list for draft season for the Seahawks, she will
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: circus circle one player each from the position groups. Doesn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: mean that she has to commit to them, but nonetheless
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: she circles them in the draft catalog. And by the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: end of this process, I will hold her to coming
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: up with a draft plan for the Seahawks and she
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: can spend no more than seven schneider Bucks. This year's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: usually twelve.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: That is the tricky part.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Usually it's twelve, but seven schneider Bucks are hers to spend.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And then I have offered to dangle one more bonus
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Schneiderbuck if she does want to trade a piece from
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the future. So all that said, let's dive in because,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned a couple of times, we got a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: lot to do today, and we are going to go
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: with a linebacker group here this morning, and we will
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: start at the top, even though this guy's probably not
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a candidate to be taken by the Seahawks. And that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is Sonny Styles Number one. You just got to love
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the name. He sounds like some sort of like seventies
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, detective television character.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh hey, did you see Sonny Styles last night? Oh? Man,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh great show, great episode.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the way that he had to just apprehend that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: suspect by jumping over the mailboxes, yes, and slid over
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the hood of the car.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You know who I really like on that Sunny Styles
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is that sidekick Hirk. He's funny herk Yeah, yeah done.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He sounded like a seventiese active Yeah, Sunny Styles, but
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: he's not. It's not in his draft profile. He's out
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: of Ohio State. He's six foot five inches tall, two
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty four pounds as a linebacker, like an
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: interior linebacker, physical freak, four point four six forty times
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: forty three and a half inch vertical leap, eleven foot
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: two inch broad jump. This might be the best player
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: at his position in the draft. I know a lot
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of people would argue for something else, so at I frankly,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: but he's in the conversation and he might be the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: best athlete for his size in the draft period. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: was off to a bit of a slow start at
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. He actually started as a safety, believe it
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: or not at that size, but he began to find
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: his groove after a I wouldn't even call it a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: rough start because he was still productive, but he was
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: productive out of sheer athleticism. But Ohio State, obviously he's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: had a run of success and he's been a starter
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for three years at linebacker. But there are a lot
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of people that think that's a positive. They think that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: maybe he's just now starting to really get a feel
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: for the position. And so despite the great player that
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you saw at Ohio State the last three years, there's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: this belief that there's a lot more upside that he
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: can still reach. They think he's a bit of an
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: untapped talent. At this point doesn't always play with urgency. Again,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that's something I think can be you know, that can
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: be learned through the NFL process and having to answer
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to not only coaches but also veterans who expect that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: out of you. And let's face it, if you watched
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the Ohisle State Buckeyes play at all and they did
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: play you dub this past year, i mean he was
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: impossible game. Yeah, he was impossible not to notice. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: mean he just stands out and the and he's done
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that way for the last three years. Great tackler as well,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: which is certainly what you want out of a linebacker.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: This is going to be like a top ten pick,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: maybe even a top five the way that people are
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: talking about him. And so you know, when you got
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: seven Schneider bucks to spend, and I'm gonna tell you
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it's gonna cost you six to get Sunny Styles, You're
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: pretty much gonna have to package together your entire draft
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to move up as high it would take to get him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm not sure anybody's doing that for a linebacker.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That said, somebody's gonna be very happy near the top
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of the draft to get Sunny Styles. And we can't
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: go through the draft miss catalog without it at least
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: chronicling the best player available.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you always look in the catalog and think, that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: what I want. If I had all the money in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the world, that's what I'd get.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I want the bouncy castle. But I will
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: settle because I know things are a little tight around
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: here with Santa's budget. I will settle for toss across
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: See, so you've got to You always look.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: At and you circle the dream, right, they be like, okay, well,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: let's be practical.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm ten uh three dollars nighter bucks can get you.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Anthony Hill Junior. Now this is somebody that might actually
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: last till the thirty second pick in the draft where
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks select. He's out of Texas. He's six feet
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: two inches tall, two hundred and thirty eight pounds. He
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: ran a four to five one forty and had a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: ten and a half inch vert excuse me, a ten
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and a half inch broad jump. I mean, this guy's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: kind of a premiere athletic specimen two, but his numbers
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: pale in comparison to such a large degree to Sonny styles.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he you know it looks like your aunt Carrol.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: It just looks normal.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he just looks you know, well, look at
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: this big hip, slow son of a gun. Uh No,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: he's actually a very good athlete himself. Just hard to
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you know, see that when you're compared to six foot
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: five inch two hundred and forty four pounds. Sunny Styles
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a significant contributor as a freshman right out of the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: bat for Texas, which has been a good program, a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: great program. He then started and starred the next years
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: for the Longhorns. He had sixteen and a half tackles
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: for loss as a true sophomore in twenty twenty four,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: plus four forced fumbles and sometimes those can be I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: guess a little bit flucish, But it turns out Anthony
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Hill Junior has a talent for jarn the ball loose,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: because he had three the following year. Wow. So that's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: seven forced fumbles in two seasons for Texas from Anthony
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Hill Junior. Lance Zerline of NFL dot Com and they
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: always come up with these comps. His comp for Anthony
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Hill Junior is Bobby Wagner. Oh.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't come off the field. He is athletic and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: yet also instinctive. What a great combination for a linebacker.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Just a really good football player and perhaps a luxury
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: pick if he were to fall to the Hawks at
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: number thirty two. I don't think anybody sees linebacker as
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a position of you know, ultimate need for the Seahawks.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: But is he the type that if you can't move
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: out of that spot you're sitting at number thirty two,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: he's the best player on your board, even though it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: not a position of need. I mean, is it out
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of the question that they would take the next Bobby
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Wagner No at number thirty two. I wouldn't count on it,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but I don't think it's out of the question. That's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: why I'm putting him in the draft. Miss Catalog might
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: not even make it to thirty two, but I'm still
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: going to folu him as a thirty second overall pick
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in the draft, which will cost you three Schneiderbucks. All right,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: let's move on. Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech should
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: be a familiar name to all of you if you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: watch college football this year, because his face was all
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: over the place this past season. Six foot one, two
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty one pounds, Yes, he was a prominent
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: figure of the college football season, one of the top
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: characters if you were to write a movie about this
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: past season. And yet he's not without athleticism. Four point
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: five seven forty thirty eight and a half inch vert
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: at the combine. This guy a converted quarterback for goodness sake,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: which shows you the athleticism that he possesses. And in
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: terms of production, not even Sunny Styles was as productive
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: as Jacob Rodriguez at the college level National Defensive Player
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of the Year his final season, obviously, Butkeus Award winner,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: which goes to the best linebacker. Dude was not only
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a Heisman Trophy candidate in twenty twenty five, he finished
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: fifth in the voting as a linebacker. Fifth in the voting.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty five tackles over the course of
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the last two seasons combined, and he picked off four
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: passes this year, So I mean he disrupted everything. Plus
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: he's married to an Army helicopter pilot. I mean, this
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: guy's just got Michael McDonald.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a saint.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Cartoon heart's just floating around his head. I mean, you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald loves this guy. Whether he drafts him. I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: don't know, but you know that he likes the mentality
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: and the makeup and a lot of the things that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: he does on the field. And I hadn't even gotten
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to the best part. The mustache. I mean it might
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: rank I am sorry, Sam Elliott, I am sorry Wyatt
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: ir Wow. I am sorry, Tom Selleck. Jacob Rodriga's mustache
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: might be the greatest mustache in the history of mustaches.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It makes Magnum p ies look like peachazz. I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: it is something. It's got its own area.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Code, ope, Bucky's Mom's nealysis.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It's got a pulse to it. And then he puts
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on the black cowboy hat when he walks around Lubbock,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Texas with that giant, you know, broomstick on his face.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And yes, Jacob Rodrigue is known for his mustache. Now,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: there's got to be some negative to him because he
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: wants to make every tackle. He sometimes over pursues. He
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: had some coverage bus at the worst time for Texas
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Tech Like in the playoffs, he did not play that
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: well against Oregon, and he is a bit undersized. Aside
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: from the mustache. That is that is right otherworldly, that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: is perfect. Yeah, that's global, that's titanic, it's cosmic. It
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: actually is celestial.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It looks like one of the mustaches you'd buy if
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he wanted to have a fake mustache. Yeah, but that's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: coming out of his way like a Mario brother. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: not even thicker than that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So two schneiderbucks would get you the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: very famous Jacob Rodriguez and his mustage.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Right, two dollars you said, yep, all right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: For a single Schneider Buck, And this means you're gonna
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: possibly get this guy early in day number three, Harold
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Perkins Junior out of LSU. Interesting profile on this dude,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: six foot one inches tall, two hundred and twenty three pounds.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: This is another freakish athlete at off ball linebacker. Now
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: his athleticism took a hit. He had a twenty twenty
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: four ACL tear which slowed him a bit for his
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: final season. Now, whether or not he was just favoring
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it because he didn't want to hurt it again, or
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: if he had some sort of psychological thing, or if
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it never did heal the way that it should, I
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: don't know. That's going to be up to the organizations
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to try to figure that out, but before that a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: premiere playmaker in the SEC. He had thirteen and a
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: half tackles for loss as a freshman, then he had
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: another thirteen and a half as a sophomore, Then he
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: got injured during his junior year, came back as a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: senior and only had eight tackles for loss. Don't see
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys whose worst season is their last
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: season when they were a four year starter at a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: prominent program like LSU. He has a bit undersized, he
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: does miss tackles on occasion, and he has been knocked
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: for sometimes looking confused in coverage. So that's why we're
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: talking about a Day three linebacker here. Plus the injury,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: which has to be a concern if it slowed him
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: that much for his final year. But when he played
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: special teams at LSU, he was a flat out demon
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: when it came to special teams. Might be the way
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: that he starts his career, and you know how much
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks value special teams. But this could be a
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Day three steal. I mean, if he really was just
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: favoring the leg and he can get that back to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent, we're talking about another freakish athlete who
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: was productive as an eighteen and nineteen year old starting
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: linebacker for a premier program in a premier conference. So
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Harold Perkins Junior is somebody that I think you should
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: keep an eye on. And then finally from the fifty
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: cent pages and this is going to be your sixth
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: or seventh rounders, I present to you Bryce Betcher out
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: of Oregon six foot one inches tall, two hundred and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: thirty pounds. I think known more for playing baseball. Seems
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: like it's all the broadcasters talked about at the Combine,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and during all of his games with Oregon, he didn't
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: even hit over two hundred until his senior year.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: They're real into him there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did get drafted, So he's got the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: chance to get drafted in both sports here in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: same year, which is pretty cool. That would have been fun. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that'd been fun as an athlete, Mike, And of course
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: it played for the Ducks and you know, yeah, they're
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: always over hyping cla. Yeah. Extremely aggressive football player though.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I mean he's like that kid on the playground that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: had too much sugar and he will head butt everyone
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: in the sandbox, even though he doesn't do it out
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of malice. It's just like he's just big and aggressive
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and clumsy and the next thing you know, you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: your daughter's got a black eye because he had head
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: butter on the jungle gym. Yeah, that's the type of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: that's the way he plays football. And that aggression, as
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you might expect, can be a positive trade in football
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the beehive aspect of the game playing defense, but it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: could also be a negative and often has been cited
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: as a negative as well, as Betcher has been accused
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: of being out of position at times. He definitely profiles
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: as a special teamer and perhaps a special team demon
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: with that kind of attitude toward football, and it really
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: sounds like his futures more in football than it is
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: in baseball. So I don't think that gets in the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: way of a team drafting him. But maybe I don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: have the right sources. So there you go. Those are
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: your I can't go through the mall, so I pick
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: one from each one of the financial groupings, and now
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I leave it to Ashley to circle which linebacker she
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: might be interested in out of the draft miss catalog.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Well, because I don't have to make a final decision
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: right now, and really put my budget together I'm going
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to tell you I'd rather I'd like to spend that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: two dollars on Jacob Rodriguez. Okay, I mean between the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: actual skills and the mustache.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, sign me up for two bucks. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: feel like that's a steal.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I like every single person that I just mentioned, Yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in this draft, miss catalog.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Well before you said that, I was going to go
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: with Anthony Hill Junior, before you got to Jacob Rodrigez.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: So really it just went all the way down as
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, no, that one, No, that one.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that one. I wrote all of this and
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: was recapping it live on the air, and I changed
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: my mind with each one of them. I'm gonna go
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: with Harold Perkins Junior, and not just to be different,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: but maybe maybe a little bit to be different, because
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling if he's last until day number
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: three with that high end speed, if he passes the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: medical with the Seahawks, the special team's background, the ability
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to possibly get some sort of freakish productive athlete, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he's not as injured, he's not injured anymore, I mean
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that could be a steal for them. So I like
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: every single one of them. I can see the Seahawks.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, they can't get Sunny Styles, but I know
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: they want Sonny Styles. Who wouldn't want Sonny Styles? But
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I could see if Anthony Hill drop there, They're just like,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: screw it, let's just take him.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling if on the day of having
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to make my actual decision, I will also be going
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with Harold Perkins.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: But as I said today, money doesn't matter.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, money doesn't matter. Just circle who you want and
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the Draftmas catalog and then we'll sort it out from there.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: So all right, there you go. We've got more Draftmas
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: stuff coming up on the show today. Let's find out
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: what else is on.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Tap, what's on TEP, what's on tap?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about this pipe, but
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not even I don't even have it in my mouth.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: It's just a prop, yeah, for the Draftmas, for our
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: YouTubers out there, and yet it makes me slur my words.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even know why notice that. No, Like I
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: was going through, I like couldn't spit things out there
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: at the beginning, and I didn't even have it in
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: my mouth.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't notice that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: It's like I was imagining having it in mind. All right,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: what's on tap for today? Show? Draft is in fifteen days.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell's a slot with us, and we're gonna hear
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: a lot more from him the closer we get to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the draft. But for this week, we're gonna have him
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: on on his Wednesday slot. So we will ring the draft,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Miss Bells for Greg Bell at seven oh five today.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe he'll tell maybe did he get to go to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the Sam Darnold wedding. Maybe he went to the Sam
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: darning Probably, maybe he met Hailey Steinfeld. I don't know, yeah, probably,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: But I do appreciate Sam getting into the spirit of things.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: He got married on draft. Miss I can't tell you
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: how touch I am Sam that you decided to do
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: this and so, and yet I'm a little disappointed in
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the wife who had to wait till he was a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion before she fully committed. I think that's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: really short sighted, Missus Darnold.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I feel like you know what she knows what she wants,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: and she wants a championship.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You become a champion first, and then we'll think about Yeah,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: then we'll talk. I'm not gonna marry some journeyman bounced
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: around to the Carolina Panthers and couldn't stick.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I need to make sure the twenty twenty four wasn't
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a fluke for you in Minnesota.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: One other note from the draft, Fernando Mendoza is not
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: going to attend, So the number one pick in the draft,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: at least expected to be the number one pick in
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the draft, is not going to be at the ceremonies
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. He's decided to spend that time with his family,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: which I don't mind at all you dubbed springball continues.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: If you missed our conversation with Jed Fish, a very
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: interesting one. Yes, you can find that on our podcast
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: ninety three to three KJR dot com. The transfer portal
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: has opened in college basketball. Didn't take very long, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: even the national champion Michigan has to get to work,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: especially them because they built their champion around the transfer portal,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: so they seem to be pretty good at it. Also,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Geno Oriema and Dawn Staley got together after the controversy
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: in the Final four, and Gino pretty much fell on
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the sword like I was completely in the wrong, And
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it sounds like those two have kissed and made up,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: so good for both of them, and good for Gino
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to realize I was brat in that situation and I
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: want to make it right. Krack and lost to Minnesota
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and so the crack and just moving closer and closer
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to official elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Picture al
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Kiniski will join us today at nine point thirty to
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: talk about this team that really is not exactly going
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: out with a bang. We are on the eve of
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the Masters. We will celebrate it in many ways. The
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Major Golf Challenge is there for you to fill out
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: at ninety three to three kJ dot com. We have
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: a green Jacket draft today to preview the tournament at
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock, and Brady Cannon, the Las Vegas golfer himself,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: will join us at eight o'clock. If you're thinking about
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: putting a couple, you know, jellybeans down on the Masters,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: he's the guy you want to listen to. The Pittsburgh
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Pirates have made nineteen year old Connor Griffin a young man.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: This morning. We will discuss that before the show comes
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to a close today, because it does sort of highlight
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: why the Mariners wanted to get Colt Emerson locked up.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss that and speaking of the Mariners, they lost again,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: four straight losses for the MS. They lost to the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Texas Rangers last night three to two. We'll recap it
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: for you next Mariners Morning After on Chuck and Buck
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I want. I'm not asking a lot.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: This YouTube thing, too, has also forced me into making
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: like wardrobe changes. I'm now making wardrobe I looked.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: At the mirror today on my first out and I
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: was like, can't do that. That looks not all look terrible.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I mean to just go with an oversized grace.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Well, good morning. It is for Mariners Morning After. It's
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: our daily segment. We do this at six thirty after
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: every Mariner's game, win or loss. We play a sad
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: song after losses, we play an uplifting song after wins.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Kind of makes sense, right, Yeah. We ran it through
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: our PR team and they thought this is the way
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: we should go. So the Mariners were in Texas trying
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: to snap a three game losing streak taking on the Rangers.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: As you know, offensive issues for the MS to start
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the season this year, Brendan Donovan tried to get the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: team off on a better start. He had a homer
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: on the first pitch of the game, I do believe
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: his third as a Mariner, so made it one to nothing.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: The ms then took a two to nothing lead in
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the fifth, cal Rawley coming through with an RBI single
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: and a clutch moment. And George Kirby was just absolutely
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: outstanding last night. He went a full eight efficient innings
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: in the game. He gave up six hits, which he
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: scattered for the most part except for the bottom of
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the inning. And George had one little rough stretch and
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: an ends up costing the Mariners the victory. He gives
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: up an infield single to Jack Peterson, then an then
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a single to Evan Carter to actually that was a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: RBI for Carter because there was an error. And then
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Kyle Higashioka came to the plate and this is somebody
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that George Kirby should get out.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Carter takes off, this ball is ripped out to left
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: field and it's gone. Kyle Higashioka's first home in this
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: year has given the Rangers a three to two lead.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And the Mariners would not score again. Three to two
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: ended up being the final score. The Texas Rangers win again.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: That hands Seattle their fourth straight loss, so they are
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: off to a four and eight start, still struggling to
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: find off, and even when they get a great pitching
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: performance from George Kirby, it's not enough. And I mean,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: this is the losing streak, and we talked about it
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I mean, if it can go wrong,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: it is going wrong for this team. And you just
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: trust over one hundred and sixty two games that you'll
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: start getting a few bounces to go your way and
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you'll start winning some games that you had no business winning.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That's what happens over the course of six months of
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: playing professional baseball. But I mean George getting into trouble
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: for three batters, And I'm telling you, I've said this
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a lot, a lot about George, and I think George
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: is great, and I think his upside is better than
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: anybody in our starting rotation. But George does not like
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: when things don't go the way they should. And he
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: is facing Jock Peterson and he saws him off. And
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: this dumpling of a baseball player waddles down with his
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: birth and hips the first base and Brendan Donovan is
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: so are away because you have to play a slow
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: runner like that deep and he and so Peterson gets
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: an infield single where he probably won't get another one
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: this season. But Donovan in his haste, throws the ball
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: away and all of a sudden, I'm telling you what,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: George is thinking, this guy should not be on base.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: He definitely shouldn't be on second base. Yeah, and then
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: he gives up a ringing hit to Carter, which was
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: probably which he had not given up really solid contact
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: at all until that moment. But George is still thinking
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: about that guy that just scored. Should have never been
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: on base. I made my pitch that should have worked.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't have turned out that way? Why? And then in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: his lack of focus, because this happens to George, I
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: am facing a hitter that I should dominate, and I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: leave one for him to hit. And in the major leagues,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: even platoon catchers, if you don't make your pitch, we'll
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: hit a ball over the wall. And that's exactly what happened.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: So George had two batters in my opinion of lapsed
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: conversation concentration, and in that stretch, I mean he pitched
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a complete game, he went eighth innings, but two batters
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: of not being locked in because he was pissed off
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: about Jock Peterson, who should have never been on base.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: We lose the game right there. That's a losing streak
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: right there. If it can go wrong, it will go wrong.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: And in that moment wrong you lost the game because
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: George was so angry. He does He just gets angry
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: like that shouldn't have happened. It's not fair, and I
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: don't and he loses concentration and if the other team
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: can take advantage of that, like the Rangers did last night,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: the next thing, you know, on a night where George
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Kirby has shut out stuff, you've given up three runs
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in one frame and you're trailing three to two.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: He needs to be a goldfish and just forget about
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: what happened before.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: He needs to. I mean, he needs to. And uh,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I get the frustration that he has, but it is
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: something that has kind of haunted him throughout his young career.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: But he was fantastic last night and he spoke after
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was aggressive with my heaters in the zone,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: which all day so I knew they were swinging. Just
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: tried to make quality strikes at that point, you know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: get a lot of ground balls, which was great. Yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: I mean just the one home run whatever and heat
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: in his hands and he cheated to it.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: So this is what it is. But yeah, so after that,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: mitch it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Up a little bit and then kind of get back
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: What did you tell yourself after the homer You looked
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: a little irritated, but at the same time you knew
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: your pitch count wasn't a place where you can keep going.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, what did you tell yourself?
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was pissed, but you know, what I'm trying
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: to do is just stay in control and not let
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: those things bother me and kind of just keep going,
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: plush it, take a breath, you know, have a plan,
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: and then goes back into control. So that's why I'm
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: doing good.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: You feel like, you you know, you wanted to take
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: control of your outings. You feel like, you know, you've
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: done that so far this year, and the like the
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: mentality you want when you're on.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: The I feel really good mentally physically, and you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: you know, I just control what I can control and
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: keep doing my thing.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's George Kirby talking about it afterwards. Yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: you could see it's a theme. That's why he has
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: that answer for it. I got to be able to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: flush that. But he can't always do it, whether it's
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: an umpire that he feels squeezed him, or if it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: a guy that he felt I won that battle. Why
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: is he on base? And why is he on second base?
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I mean when Gashioka came up the next time to
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: face George Kirby, Kirby made him look like a fool.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it was three pitches. I mean,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: he wasn't close to anything, and George is mumbling under
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: his breath coming off the mound, and I can almost
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: promise you what he was saying is that piece of crap.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's what I do to That's that's how that bat
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: was supposed to go the last time. How on earth
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: did that guy hit the two run Homer? That puts
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: me in a hole right now, I guarantee you that's
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: what he was saying as he was coming off the mount.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But see, that's what he needs to do is have
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that mentality of something pissed him off, and then you
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: go in and you dominate versus he just I mean,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: he this. We have talked about this a lot several
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: times that he I mean, it was the challenge. He
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: wanted to call a challenge and he wasn't able to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: call a challenge, and he gets mad about it. I mean,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I understand the mental aspect of any sport is very important,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: but especially with a bait with a pitcher in baseball,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: being mentally tough is such an important part of what
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he's doing. And I think ninety eight percent of the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: time he is mentally tough. Yeah, it's just that two
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: percent that he's letting get to him and that's the problem.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: And I will say this, I think the Mariners have
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: to know this. I mean, they've obviously had conversations with
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: him about it. Otherwise, he's not answering Ryan Divish, who
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you're by the way, You're very nosy there.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I mean he has a lot of questions.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Otherwise, he and Ryan Divish are on the same page.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: They've had these conversations with him before. But I think
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: it has to be acted out on the field. Whenever
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: you see some pearl necklace wearing Jack Peterson beat out
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: an infield single on a pitch where George Kirby executes
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Col's gotta go out to the mount, use one of
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: your mound visits and just say that was garbage man.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: You made your pitch, But you know what we got
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: to do here every single time. I mean, you only
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: have so many mound visits.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: But but that's worth it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: It's worth it because you've got to get him to flush.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: He said it himself, I gotta flush those things and
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I did flush. Yeah, you flushed it for the rest
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: of the game. But in the moment, in the heat
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of the moment, while you're on the mound and the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: umpire's throwing you back a.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: New ball, when you don't have another inning or half
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: inning to sit and think about it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was fantastic and he is fantastic, And
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: it's that just that little wrinkle, and it takes George
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Kirby from being a potential CY Young winner to a
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: cy Young winner. I mean, that's how gifted he is.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: But that ends up holding up and it shouldn't have
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: held up. The offense continues to struggle. And one other
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: point about boy, when you're in a slump, if it
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: can go wrong, it's gonna go wrong. You get the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Luke Rayley ground ball down the third base line, I'm like,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: what on earth happened there? How are you not standing
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: at second base. They are playing you to pull. The
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: third baseman's at shortstop, the left fielder is in left
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: center field. You hit a ball that hugged the left
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: field line, went down into the corner. Langford got up,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: tripped over himself through, lob the ball back into play
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: and you're standing at first base. You didn't think you
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: could make it the second.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Especially not Luke, who runs so hard.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: And what did we find out he missed the bass. Yeah,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: he ran over the base and he got three quarters
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: of the way to second. And it wasn't that he
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: was worried he was going to get thrown out. He
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: was like, they're going to see that, aren't they.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Probably they're going to.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: See that on replay. I gotta go back to first
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: and so you get the second base. You know, JP's
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: got an opportunity to get you to third. If he
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: does get the single, you might score on that little
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: looping single. You're at least getting to third. And then
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the next two batters hit sackfly distance shots. I mean,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: they should have still been playing.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: If it can go wrong, it will.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: But George Kirby has two lapses, just slight, not big.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Two slight lapses in concentration and it results in three
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: runs and then Luke Rayley over runs first base for
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a leadoff double, has to go back and you end
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: up not scoring and you lose three to two. Yeah, unbelievable,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Which is unbelievable, believable. Yeah, all right, today it will
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: be game three. You got salvage one of these. Brian
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Wu will get the start for US, phasing a lefty,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: oh boy, that never goes well. McKenzie gore will be
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: starting for the Texas Rangers, a really nice pickup for
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the Rangers in the off season. And so that's your
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: pitching matchup today. I'm trying to find what time it is.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Of course I hit three wrong buttons. It will start
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: officially at eleven thirty five, eleven thirty five, first pitch
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Wu versus McKenzie Gore. We'll talk more about the Mariners
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: with ABC's at seven thirty. It'll also be our subject
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: of Reckless at Breakfast today at seven forty five. But
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: coming up next. Boy, you love it when a former
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: k JR person gets in the news and for really
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: good reasons. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: f m H all right, good morning to you. It
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: is Chuck and Ashley with you, and Bucky is out
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: here today. I'm sure you heard that he's got some
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: medical tests that he's going through. It's nothing big, but
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: just stuff that you got to do in life, and unfortunately,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: in these hours, there's not a lot of time to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: get that stuff done. Uh So he's he's going to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: be missing for a little while, but we wish him
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the best. He's got a little bit of a text
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: out or a tweet out on X that kind of
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: puts it in his own words, and so show Bucky
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit of love. He is not the former
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: k j R employee who has caught canoodling with Mike
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Vrabel though.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness, yes, I just wanted it way more.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I want to clear that up because there are a
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: lot of people have been asking where's Bucky, and it's not.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: He's not having an extra marital affair with the head
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: coach of the Patriots.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Was not in Sedona at a very secluded private No, he.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Did not give while watching the Super Bowl. He did
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: not get lost in the losing head coach's eyes and.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Then just go in his chisel jaw.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Break with reality, throw away his family to go be
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: with Vrabes that, which is good.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that that's not what happened, because I really
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: have to question Bucky's judgment.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen him draw one cartoon heart around a
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: picture of Mike Vrabel my entire time working with him. Okay,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I've never seen on his notebook, and he keeps a notebook.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Bucky loves Vrabes. I've never seen that once. I've never
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: seen him like Larry Bucky Jacobson Verbel. I've never seen
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: him do that. So don't worry. It wasn't him, and
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I was very relieved.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Can you say the same about Diana Racini?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can't.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: No, you can't.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: So Diana, I don't know. Was she an employee here
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: or was she an intern?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: She No, she was, so she technically wasn't it. I
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: heard a play. She was a Comcast Sports Net employee.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So when Softy's show was on Comcast Sports, she was
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the first person.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: She was the travismger.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: She she wasn't the travismger. She was the host.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, so like during commercial breaks she would give the
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: updates because I was her fill in, okay, basically told
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: her how sports works.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: But she figured it out.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: She figured out how sports was.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: She figured it out a different way than what I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: told her. I'll tell you that I did not suggest that.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Oh that was your teaching. Huh. I just you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: a great way to be an insider is to sleep
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: with all the coaches and get information.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I just said, yes, these are the Seahawks, and these
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: are the Mariners, and this is the Huskies, and these
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: are the teams we cheer for.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: So there were New York Post photos of them at
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: a swanky resort. Now they have defended themselves, saying, this
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous. There were we were two of six people
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: that were on this trip together.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Where are the other four?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean you could get caught with just
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: two of you. I don't know why you two are
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: just hanging out, but I mean it's not impossible to
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: believe that story. So the suggestion was that there's nothing
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: going on for Abel completely shot it down. So that's ridiculous.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: There's nothing about those photos that suggest anything more than
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: a couple of friends having a laugh, and yet people
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: certainly have run wild with it and believe that there
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: is an extramarital affair going on between Diana Roussini The
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Insider and with Mike Vrabel and so I mean there's
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: room in the conversation. I mean, it wasn't anything. It
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't like they were caught kissing or naked together or
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: anything like that. They were seen at a pool hanging out.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: There was one moment where he was hugging her, and
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: there was another moment where their fingers were interlocked.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: They were like dancing on a rooftop.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean that's I can buy it. There's
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: no way that they could be sentenced. There's no way
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that you would win in court with those photos to
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: prove that they were having an extramarital affair.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: No, No, I mean there's definitely it doesn't look great.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I'll just say that.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: No, And their stories don't really sound great either because I.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Don't believe them. I'm just saying that if they go
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: with these stories, that there's no way, based on these
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: photos to prove it. Now, obviously the spouses have a
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: thing or two to ask, right.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: The thing that I thought though was so interesting when
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I was reading the story because I was like, well,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: let's see, if they're saying they're there with six people,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I want to take their word for it. Let me
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: read about this, and the people who had taken the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: photos were like, well, we never saw other people. We
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: saw them eating breakfast together, we saw them lounging to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the pool together in the hot tub, and then they
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: were on this rooftop that's from not like a hotel rooftop,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: it's a bungalow. So I suppose four of their friends
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: could have been down in the bungalow while they were
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: dancing and hugging on the roof. I don't usually dance
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and hug on a rooftop alone with my platonic friends,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: but that's just me.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But the thing but they're dancing to Coldplay because
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I think we had another leg would be.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably what it was.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: But they said that there were friends there, they just
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: weren't visible in the pictures, and then it said. A
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: source close to Rossini says she was at the hotel
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: during a hiking trip with two female pals, and one
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: of Rabel's friends said that he that they and the
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: coach drove up to Sedona for the day with another pal,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and that they all drove back to their own hotel
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: some two hours away after hanging out with Russini and
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: her gang? Why are you driving two hours away to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: hang out for the day.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't believe them. I don't think
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: anybody believes them. But there is nothing damning, no necessarily
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: about the photos. There's certainly no proof of any kind
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: of extracurricular activity. And of course there's a question about
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: professional journalism integrity as well. That's a bigger conversation that
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I don't have time to have right now. I will
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: just close out the segment so that we can get
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the headlines from Greg Bell at the top of the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: hour by saying, it would have been a lot better,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: but a lot funnier if it would have been like
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like Jim Moore and a hammock braiding
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni's hair.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I'd see him with Kaylen de Boor really more, he
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: really did love Kaylen.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: De Boor, or Brian Abker and Dan Campbell riding a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: tandem bike to an ice cream shop.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: Or a stallion.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have loved if it would have been
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: something like that. That would have been awesome, all right,
