0:21
Speaker 3: Winter Ted takes under the.
0:22
Speaker 1: Ground Padwell lad on top of him.
0:30
Speaker 2: That his first fight. I think that's like a big
0:33
Speaker 2: moment for a hockey player to get that out of
0:35
Speaker 2: the way. And for that babyface Ryan Winterton. I think
0:39
Speaker 2: he won the fight too. I think he landed a
0:41
Speaker 2: couple on a veteran. It was fun to watch, Eddie was.
0:47
Speaker 3: That was good.

Speaker 2: round of the National Football League playoffs. Ashley Ryan is
1:19
Speaker 2: here with her poofball Seahawks hat. We've got Bucky Jacobson here.
1:23
Speaker 2: He cracked out some laundry from old days to try
1:26
Speaker 2: to get some momentum for his Broncos going into tomorrow.
1:30
Speaker 2: My name is Chuck Powell, and I've just decided not
1:33
Speaker 2: to wear anything today, So welcome, You're welcome, and welcome
1:39
Speaker 2: everybody to the show here on this Friday. All sorts
1:43
Speaker 2: of experts coming up today, including Greg Bell in two
1:46
Speaker 2: minutes from now to give you the latest on Sam
1:48
Speaker 2: Donald's injury. That's where the frost brewed cors Light Choose
1:51
Speaker 2: Chill headlines will start. Yeah, out of nowhere, Sam Donald
1:55
Speaker 2: reports Obleek the left side says it was just a
1:58
Speaker 2: minor tweak and out of precaution and took himself out
2:01
Speaker 2: of practice. As there's a next to zero percent chance
2:05
Speaker 2: that he won't be playing tomorrow night in San Francisco,
2:09
Speaker 2: but that's more of a chance than we were discussing yesterday.
2:12
Speaker 2: So it does have Seahawk Nation a little bit concerned
2:16
Speaker 2: right now, understandably so, as I said, we'll get more
2:19
Speaker 2: information on that from Greg Bell. Seahawks forty nine ers
2:22
Speaker 2: kickoff tomorrow night at Lumenfield at five o'clock. Also tomorrow
2:27
Speaker 2: you've got Bill's Broncos getting it started at one thirty
2:30
Speaker 2: from Denver, and then on Sunday a doubleheader there as well,
2:33
Speaker 2: with the Patriots hosting the Texans starting at noon, and
2:36
Speaker 2: at three point thirty it will be the Bears hosting
2:39
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. The John Harbaugh deal to the
2:42
Speaker 2: New York Giants is not done, reported yesterday morning as
2:46
Speaker 2: pretty much having been agreed upon. Well, it's still not
2:50
Speaker 2: agreed upon, so it's making a few Giants fans so worried.
2:54
Speaker 2: Why is this not getting signed? Apparently there are some
2:58
Speaker 2: details to work out before that becomes official. College Football's
3:03
Speaker 2: national Championship game will be played Monday night in Miami,
3:06
Speaker 2: featuring Miami against the number one team in America, the
3:10
Speaker 2: Indiana Hoosiers, who will enter that game as seven and
3:12
Speaker 2: a half point favorites and just a machine just rolling
3:16
Speaker 2: down the hill, just flattening everything in its path. We'll
3:20
Speaker 2: see if Miami is ready to take on that challenge.
3:23
Speaker 2: College basketball Huskies will host the Michigan State Spartans and
3:27
Speaker 2: tom Izzo tomorrow at three o'clock over there at heck
3:31
Speaker 2: Ed and so a chance to bounce back from that
3:34
Speaker 2: loss to Michigan on Wednesday. The Kraken we just played
3:38
Speaker 2: the highlight. There's a reason why we played a fight.
3:41
Speaker 2: We usually play a fight when they don't win. Four
3:44
Speaker 2: to two is the final score a loss to the
3:46
Speaker 2: Boston Ruins. They've now lost four of their last five games.
3:50
Speaker 2: They'll play again tomorrow night. And Kyle Tucker signed a
3:54
Speaker 2: four year, two and forty million dollars deal as the
3:58
Speaker 2: number one free agent on the market this offseason, with
4:01
Speaker 2: of course, the Los Angeles Dodgers. We will discuss that.
4:05
Speaker 2: We are actually going to discuss that in a full
4:07
Speaker 2: segment today coming up at six point thirty. But right now,
4:10
Speaker 2: let's talk to Greg Bell.
4:12
Speaker 4: With the bell tolls.
4:14
Speaker 5: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
4:17
Speaker 5: News with Greg Bell. Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection, Prosecco,
4:21
Speaker 5: Chris Sparkling with bright Fruit flavors to make every toast
4:25
Speaker 5: shine Game Day bubbles only with Copola Diamond Prosecco now
4:30
Speaker 5: with twelf Man News. Here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Buck.
4:34
Speaker 4: Well.
4:35
Speaker 2: It's a good thing that I know the phrase don't
4:38
Speaker 2: kill the messenger, because I think I might have killed
4:41
Speaker 2: Greg Bell yesterday. That's how much that message. That's how
4:44
Speaker 2: that message landed on my lap. I'll tell you that
4:47
Speaker 2: much right now. Our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell is
4:49
Speaker 2: with us this morning. Good morning, sir. I don't mean
4:52
Speaker 2: my threat, but certainly that was not good news for
4:57
Speaker 2: the Sea Hawk fan base to find out yesterday that
5:00
Speaker 2: we've got a Sam Donald injury on our laps here today.
5:07
Speaker 4: You know, it was an interesting ten minutes or so
5:10
Speaker 4: that we had coming off the practice field day on
5:13
Speaker 4: a Friday. What's typical of Friday yesterday was basically a
5:15
Speaker 4: Friday day before two days before a game is when
5:18
Speaker 4: the official injury reports come out. And the way the
5:22
Speaker 4: Seahawks used to do it is they'd put it out
5:24
Speaker 4: in an email before we talked to the coach. We
5:27
Speaker 4: weren't talking to the coach yesterday, so one of the
5:29
Speaker 4: assistant PR guys came in, Jeff Garza said, here's the
5:33
Speaker 4: injury list. Josh Jones is out and Sam Donald's questionable
5:38
Speaker 4: for this pause, and somebody said, somebody said, Sam Donald, yeah, questionable,
5:43
Speaker 4: obleak what? And then Glint Kubiak was the first to
5:49
Speaker 4: speak after we had that news, and he of course
5:53
Speaker 4: was deferring to the head coach as the authority at
5:55
Speaker 4: all injury issues, and we weren't talking to the head
5:58
Speaker 4: coach until today yesterday, so Kobe I wouldn't say anything
6:02
Speaker 4: other than to say, Drew Lock got snaps with the ones.
6:06
Speaker 4: And I'm like, wait a minute, two days before a
6:08
Speaker 4: playoff game and your backup quarterback hasn't seen the field
6:11
Speaker 4: in months. Is getting snaps, That's what? And then so
6:18
Speaker 4: for about ten minutes there it was they're gonna have
6:21
Speaker 4: to go with Drew Lock in the playoff game. And
6:23
Speaker 4: then Sam Darnold came up and said a and basically said,
6:27
Speaker 4: I have to get a bunch of treatment. I felt
6:29
Speaker 4: that when I threw a pass early in practice against air,
6:32
Speaker 4: meaning out against any defense, and so I just shut
6:37
Speaker 4: it down. We shut it down out of precaution. I'll
6:39
Speaker 4: get a ton of treatment. I'm playing. I said, what's
6:42
Speaker 4: the percentage? Trying to get a perspective on his frame
6:45
Speaker 4: of mind. So I asked him what percentage of you
6:48
Speaker 4: thinks you're not going to play. He says pretty low,
6:51
Speaker 4: like close to zero. So the context here is in
6:57
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, the NFL changed they're in injury reports to
7:01
Speaker 4: eliminate the probable designation. So now if you have an injury,
7:06
Speaker 4: especially one that caused you to miss practice time the
7:09
Speaker 4: last full practice before the game, they do a walk through.
7:12
Speaker 4: Today it just goes through the game plan t shirts.
7:16
Speaker 4: If you miss any part of the practice right before
7:18
Speaker 4: the game, you get added to the injury report, but
7:22
Speaker 4: they don't have a probable designation. There used to be
7:24
Speaker 4: seventy five percentence you were playing. So now that if
7:27
Speaker 4: you're on the injury report for the game, you have
7:29
Speaker 4: to go to questionable, which officially is fifty to fifty.
7:32
Speaker 4: And I think that's what's happening here. It's if it
7:35
Speaker 4: was a probable designation, he'd be probable, but there's not
7:37
Speaker 4: that anymore, so there's to go to questionable. Most I
7:41
Speaker 4: will also say this, in this season and in most
7:45
Speaker 4: recency of seasons, questionable players tend to play. I mean
7:49
Speaker 4: there's a really strong chance. So I think Mike McDonald's
7:54
Speaker 4: going to say today that it was a precaution because
7:57
Speaker 4: he felt something and we just shut it down so
7:59
Speaker 4: it didn't get worse. Expecting the play, He'll test it
8:02
Speaker 4: before pregame to make sure it's okay. He doesn't have
8:05
Speaker 4: to throw today because they literally just walk through I
8:08
Speaker 4: mean he could just panomime throwing the ball or not
8:11
Speaker 4: even having to do that as they go through the
8:13
Speaker 4: game plan. So I understand it is jarring for the
8:19
Speaker 4: starting quarterback of your division champion team to get planned
8:22
Speaker 4: it out of nowhere unquestionable, And for about fifteen minutes
8:25
Speaker 4: I thought he might not be played, but I think
8:27
Speaker 4: he's playing well.
8:28
Speaker 6: We better not reaggravate it miming a play or a
8:32
Speaker 6: throw today. That would be bad. Greg, how much do
8:35
Speaker 6: you think this basically solidifies that they're really going to
8:39
Speaker 6: try to establish a run. I think that you know,
8:41
Speaker 6: you run for one hundred and eighty last time you
8:43
Speaker 6: face these guys, we knew that was going to be
8:45
Speaker 6: part of the deal. Or is there a chance that
8:48
Speaker 6: they're kind of you know what, maybe they'll sell out
8:51
Speaker 6: trying to do that, and we're going to be able
8:53
Speaker 6: to take even more shots over the top because we
8:55
Speaker 6: think he's going to be fine.
8:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's the latter I've mentioned all week.
9:00
Speaker 4: I don't think this changes it. If he plays and
9:03
Speaker 4: there are ways medically to an oblique injury. On the side,
9:06
Speaker 4: they could give him a painkilling shot and he could
9:10
Speaker 4: play at less than one hundred percent, but he could play,
9:14
Speaker 4: and that maybe what ends up happening, even if that
9:16
Speaker 4: could be as a precaution, if they don't think he
9:18
Speaker 4: can injure more, that's the route they go medically. I
9:22
Speaker 4: think that's what's going to happen. And I think they're
9:24
Speaker 4: going to throw the ball down the field, and I
9:26
Speaker 4: think Saturday night it may be somewhat of a footnote
9:30
Speaker 4: that he was ever questionable for the game. That's my hunch,
9:33
Speaker 4: but we'll see that plays out. But I mean, of
9:38
Speaker 4: course they're going to run the ball. They've done it
9:40
Speaker 4: all seasons. Fifty percent of their snaps are run, even
9:43
Speaker 4: when they aren't running well, and they're running against a
9:45
Speaker 4: team they went for one to eighty four there in
9:47
Speaker 4: their very last game, so it's not like it was
9:49
Speaker 4: a long time ago. Well, I would expect them to
9:52
Speaker 4: still run to set up the deep path.
9:55
Speaker 2: Does it have to be asked this morning? Can the
9:57
Speaker 2: Seahawks win with Drew Locke at quarterback.
10:02
Speaker 4: I don't think it applies here, but I think the
10:03
Speaker 4: answer is yes, And I think their defense is good
10:07
Speaker 4: enough that you and I almost could be quarterback. We'll
10:10
Speaker 4: just hand it to turn around and give it to Kenneth Walker.
10:12
Speaker 4: Maybe an extreme, Maybe they'd lose if I was a quarterback,
10:16
Speaker 4: but their defense is playing at a super Bowl level,
10:20
Speaker 4: and if they don't turn the ball over on offense,
10:22
Speaker 4: no matter who the quarterback is, they can win. That's
10:25
Speaker 4: pretty much what they did against the forty nine ers
10:28
Speaker 4: January third. But how many times can you do that?
10:32
Speaker 4: Probably not a lot. There aren't a lot of times
10:35
Speaker 4: you're gonna shut down any NFL offense coach by Kyle
10:38
Speaker 4: Shanahan and or coached by Gomer Pyle that you're going
10:40
Speaker 4: to allow them just three points in one hundred and
10:42
Speaker 4: seventy three yards. So they're gonna have to score more
10:46
Speaker 4: than one touchdown. They're going to have to play offense,
10:49
Speaker 4: and if not tomorrow, certainly next week. But their defense
10:55
Speaker 4: is still good enough that I don't want to say
10:58
Speaker 4: this doesn't matter. Of course, this matters situation in the
11:01
Speaker 4: health of the started quarterback, But man, their defense is
11:06
Speaker 4: playing well, can they sustain that? And if they can,
11:09
Speaker 4: that's sure would help.
11:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, does this I mean,
11:15
Speaker 6: I don't think this is gamesmanship. I don't think that
11:17
Speaker 6: they would be having some sort of false you know, Oh,
11:20
Speaker 6: let's act like that, because then nobody's gonna ask you
11:22
Speaker 6: about your playoff game last year. They're gonna be worried
11:25
Speaker 6: about where you're at now. But do you think that
11:27
Speaker 6: there's a chance that it does motivate the defense of like,
11:30
Speaker 6: you know what, hey, boys, if our guy, our ginger
11:35
Speaker 6: general is a little bit dinged up, we're not even
11:37
Speaker 6: going to rely on them to have to score hardly anything.
11:39
Speaker 6: We're gonna go out here and be even more amped
11:41
Speaker 6: up than they would.
11:42
Speaker 4: Have been when I first in the first moments of
11:44
Speaker 4: hearing about it, because of how he looked at the
11:47
Speaker 4: starter pack this and jogging out and joking with us.
11:50
Speaker 4: You get to have a fair gun into his hand,
11:52
Speaker 4: which is odd. He wanted everyone to see that, which
11:54
Speaker 4: is odd. But the defense always thinks like that. I
12:00
Speaker 4: asked a couple of weeks ago when they were playing
12:03
Speaker 4: Carolina and there was a struggle into the third quarter
12:07
Speaker 4: and the defense took over. What were your guys message
12:10
Speaker 4: at halftime and with the defensive players said that we
12:12
Speaker 4: had to win the game. It was up to us.
12:14
Speaker 4: So that's they're good enough that they think they can
12:17
Speaker 4: shut down and control every game. And yeah, this will
12:21
Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll be added motivation, but they're
12:24
Speaker 4: going to think that way for sure.
12:26
Speaker 2: Greg Belli is with us our Seahawks insider latest information
12:29
Speaker 2: on Sam donald so bleak injury which popped up yesterday,
12:33
Speaker 2: and the injury report caught everybody off guard, even the
12:36
Speaker 2: guys that covered the team on a daily basis, like
12:39
Speaker 2: Greg Bell. You can get his complete coverage of the
12:42
Speaker 2: Seahawks on a second by second basis pretty much at
12:45
Speaker 2: the Newstribune dot com and you can follow him at
12:48
Speaker 2: g Bell Seattle on X. All right, let's talk about
12:50
Speaker 2: something other than Sam Darnold. There are other injuries here,
12:54
Speaker 2: Charles Cross, Ernest Jones, Kobe Bryant. They're all leaning toward playing.
13:01
Speaker 4: Not only leaning full leading Okay, in front of the
13:03
Speaker 4: Fox Foxhill. They're not on the injury report, which designates
13:07
Speaker 4: that there's a near certainty they will play. They were
13:10
Speaker 4: full participants in practice yesterday Josh Jones, the backup tackle,
13:15
Speaker 4: was out, but Cross looks fine. Jones looked really sick
13:19
Speaker 4: yesterday in the training room before practice began. Then he
13:22
Speaker 4: came out and was participating in some of it. So yeah,
13:27
Speaker 4: they are fuller to go now. Elijah Royo is not
13:31
Speaker 4: coming back to practice play. He's not going to be activated.
13:34
Speaker 4: They listed him as out, and same with Chaser Out.
13:37
Speaker 4: The special team's mainstay will remain on injured reserve at
13:41
Speaker 4: least through this game. But everybody else is good to go,
13:45
Speaker 4: including Griquillan, who had been limited at times this week
13:48
Speaker 4: at practice with him his own oblique, he's planned.
13:50
Speaker 6: To How much do you how much time does McDonald
13:54
Speaker 6: and company spend on like trick plays that they've seen,
13:58
Speaker 6: not just this year, but in previous seasons. With Kyle
14:02
Speaker 6: Shanahan considering, I mean, I think that the Seahawks go
14:04
Speaker 6: out and they just try to execute their game plan.
14:06
Speaker 6: You don't got to get cute, don't try to be fancy.
14:08
Speaker 6: Sometimes those things come back and shoot you in the foot.
14:11
Speaker 6: But on the other side of it, how much time
14:13
Speaker 6: do they spend on, Hey, we got to make sure
14:15
Speaker 6: watch out for this reverse pass or things like that.
14:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a special situation part of each week's practice,
14:24
Speaker 4: and I think it's Thursday that they do. I'm not
14:26
Speaker 4: sure it was Wednesday Thursday, but they spend time. They
14:29
Speaker 4: spent time on a Christian McCaffrey option pass, which has
14:33
Speaker 4: happened in the history of the NFL. And of course
14:36
Speaker 4: Joan Jennings for the touchdown. The Seahawks knew before Juwan
14:40
Speaker 4: Jennings threw that trick play touchdown against Eagles that John
14:43
Speaker 4: Jennings used to be a quarterback way back in the league.
14:45
Speaker 4: That's part of the advancing the league. Scouts a job
14:48
Speaker 4: to know the background of the team you're playing. So yeah,
14:52
Speaker 4: they'll be ready for any and all that. They can't
14:54
Speaker 4: totally guess everything that Kyle Shanahan's going to do, but
14:57
Speaker 4: that's standard sop for every week's game. PLA.
15:00
Speaker 2: All right, well let's get to it then, Obviously, biggest
15:04
Speaker 2: game of the year, first playoff game, San Francisco forty
15:07
Speaker 2: nine ers. We're assuming Sam Donald's gonna play and play
15:10
Speaker 2: like Sam Donald. So what's it gonna come down to
15:13
Speaker 2: tomorrow night.
15:15
Speaker 4: Well, I think the defense is gonna dictate not only
15:18
Speaker 4: at the game, but their chance to win a championship here.
15:21
Speaker 4: I think that's they'll ride that, and that's the strength
15:24
Speaker 4: of the team. I don't think it's going to be
15:26
Speaker 4: a conservative game plan on offense, but I think that
15:30
Speaker 4: when push comes to show, they will decide to lean
15:32
Speaker 4: on their defense and dance with what brung you here, right,
15:36
Speaker 4: And that's the strength of this team. I think that's
15:39
Speaker 4: how they're gonna win tomorrow night, and I think that's
15:41
Speaker 4: how they're going to go into the NFC Championship game.
15:44
Speaker 4: I will say again, this is gonna be a different game.
15:46
Speaker 4: Very few NFL games, no two NFL games are the same,
15:51
Speaker 4: and in this case, no three from Week one to
15:53
Speaker 4: Week eighteen to the playoffs, which has never happened before.
15:55
Speaker 4: By the way, first game, last game, in playoff game
15:57
Speaker 4: against the same team different. It's not gonna be three points,
16:02
Speaker 4: it's not gonna be one touchdown wins. They're gonna have
16:05
Speaker 4: to win a different way. But in the end, I
16:08
Speaker 4: think the defense will be the.
16:09
Speaker 2: Reason Rams are Bears.
16:13
Speaker 4: I think the Rams they're really really good. And the
16:16
Speaker 4: weather can be a factor in Chicago tomorrow and it's
16:18
Speaker 4: supposed to be like zero degrees and a bunch of
16:20
Speaker 4: wind Off Lake, Michigan. That would be interesting for Matthew
16:24
Speaker 4: Stafford to play in. But yeah, I think the rams
16:26
Speaker 4: are really good.
16:27
Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna crack out some special suit tomorrow or
16:31
Speaker 2: you know something special. Dress up a little nicer, get
16:34
Speaker 2: your hair cut sequence. Yeah, maybe a lotion up a
16:37
Speaker 2: little bit.
16:40
Speaker 4: I could get a haircut. That might be the least
16:42
Speaker 4: exotic of all the things you just mentioned. No suits,
16:45
Speaker 4: nothing new to them. I'm not gonna take my wife's
16:48
Speaker 4: clothing to wear tomorrow. No, sorry, maybe I'll say that
16:53
Speaker 4: for the Super Bowl.
16:53
Speaker 6: Squens like just a sequences under your suit.
16:59
Speaker 7: I.
17:01
Speaker 4: Don't I don't have sequence clothes. I don't know, Bucky.
17:05
Speaker 4: I learn more about you every day you had sequence closes.
17:09
Speaker 3: A sequence underwear on right now?
17:11
Speaker 2: I mean, how are you that either? How are you
17:14
Speaker 2: going to go to disco night at the club every
17:16
Speaker 2: Friday if you don't have a sequence vest I don't know.
17:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. That's about where the clubs I'm going to.

17:42
Speaker 4: the phone lines like I mentioned yesterday, and we're seven

18:02
Speaker 2: here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. So
18:05
Speaker 2: have fun with it and we will talk to you
18:08
Speaker 2: Monday to break down all the nitty and the gritty.
18:11
Speaker 4: Thank you, Happy weekend.
18:13
Speaker 2: Greg Bell joining us right here on Chucking Buck. And
18:15
Speaker 2: so I mean, look, I mean yesterday was sort of
18:17
Speaker 2: a what the f kind of day for Seahawk fans,
18:21
Speaker 2: certainly an afternoon and evening of that. But here's Greg Bell,
18:25
Speaker 2: Seahawks insider who said if you heard him, he said
18:28
Speaker 2: they were about a fifteen minute period where I thought,
18:30
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, I'm gonna play and then he got to
18:33
Speaker 2: the bottom of it, you know, it is digging around,
18:36
Speaker 2: asked his questions. You know, I knows he he can be,
18:40
Speaker 2: and found out that there's really not much to see here.
18:44
Speaker 2: He's not He doesn't sound worried at all, doesn't he
18:47
Speaker 2: thought the Drew Locke question was unnecessary to ask at
18:51
Speaker 2: this stage in the process. So I would think that
18:54
Speaker 2: that's music to the Seahawks fan's ears. To hear that
18:57
Speaker 2: report here from Greg this morning.
18:59
Speaker 6: It's weird because I mean an oblique While it's just
19:02
Speaker 6: a little thing, it can be debilitated, I mean can
19:05
Speaker 6: and it can last for a long time. It can
19:07
Speaker 6: be something that lingers and doesn't go away, that takes
19:09
Speaker 6: a long time to rehab and get back to being healthy.
19:12
Speaker 6: But I had the same thing. I mean, buddi's of
19:14
Speaker 6: mine that are they're all Seahawk fans. I think it
19:17
Speaker 6: was Charlie sent out the first one, saying with a
19:20
Speaker 6: little blurb like he's not a really horrible name.
19:24
Speaker 3: Call him Chuck sometimes or Charles. It's and it's just
19:27
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
19:28
Speaker 2: Wonderful, it's not.
19:30
Speaker 3: He's actually one of my least favorite friends. No, it's
19:33
Speaker 3: not true.
19:34
Speaker 6: I love Charlie, but he sent something out letting everybody
19:37
Speaker 6: know that you know that he had seen the the
19:40
Speaker 6: whole thing with Sam Darnold, And my immediate response was like,
19:43
Speaker 6: there's nothing that's gonna keep him out of it, right,
19:45
Speaker 6: I mean, a bad enough oblique situation could make it
19:48
Speaker 6: where you can't throw. But I don't think a little
19:52
Speaker 6: bit of a twinge and you're like, oh, shutting that down.
19:54
Speaker 6: I'm not, you know, I'm not gonna mess with that anymore.
19:57
Speaker 6: He's gonna be good to go.
19:58
Speaker 3: I think.
19:58
Speaker 6: I don't even I don't even think that it's even
20:00
Speaker 6: over the top. If anything, it might be like, let's
20:02
Speaker 6: see if they now play one safety high and just
20:05
Speaker 6: dare us because they think that I'm hurt. I would
20:08
Speaker 6: if they try to go over the top even more.
20:10
Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're doing there, he's like fake
20:13
Speaker 2: and the funk.
20:14
Speaker 6: It wouldn't surprise me if Mike McDonald's we're gonna have
20:18
Speaker 6: you fake a little something something and see if they'll
20:20
Speaker 6: sell out even more on the run and then we're
20:22
Speaker 6: gonna out. We're gonna score seventy in the first quarter.
20:26
Speaker 2: Well, that's my game plan. Theny arrest still question as
20:29
Speaker 2: whether or not Jordan really did have the flu? All right,
20:33
Speaker 2: Greg's segment brought to you by Copa The Diamond Prosecco.
20:36
Speaker 2: Every game needs an MVP. This one, well, it sparkles
20:39
Speaker 2: like Greg's sequin vest. Copla Diamond Collection Prosecco is like
20:43
Speaker 2: Crisp and always they win. Grab your bubbles and toast
20:46
Speaker 2: every touchdown game Day bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco
20:51
Speaker 2: coming up next. I think it's worthy of a segment
20:54
Speaker 2: even on a football Friday. This Kyle Tucker's story as
20:57
Speaker 2: People Talking Sports Radio ninety three point three JRFM, Sam Darnold.
21:01
Speaker 2: We'll get back into the Seahawks conversation Sam donald conversation
21:05
Speaker 2: here in a little bit. But I do believe that
21:07
Speaker 2: there is a baseball story worth discussing for more than
21:11
Speaker 2: just a couple of minutes today. I do want to
21:13
Speaker 2: tell you first though, that at Talala Resort Casino and
21:16
Speaker 2: quil Ceda Creek Casino, a world of sports bets are
21:19
Speaker 2: at your fingertips with DraftKings Sportsbook. Whether you're a fan
21:22
Speaker 2: of football, basketball, baseball, hockey, or any other sport, they've
21:25
Speaker 2: got you covered. Bet on your favorite teams, and leagues
21:28
Speaker 2: including MLB, NHL, NBA, and NFL. From straight sports bets
21:33
Speaker 2: to parlays, futures and prop bets, the possibilities are endless.
21:37
Speaker 2: It's not just about placing a bet, it's about being
21:39
Speaker 2: part of the game at DraftKings Sportsbook there at Talalap
21:43
Speaker 2: Resort Casino. All Right, So Kyle Tucker yesterday kind of
21:48
Speaker 2: broke the internet. We were discussing, man, are they really
21:51
Speaker 2: going to pay him fifty million dollars? No, they're not.
21:55
Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Dodgers have decided to pay him sixty
21:59
Speaker 2: million dollars. And so the Dodgers have added the number
22:04
Speaker 2: one free agent market, the back to back World champions,
22:07
Speaker 2: already with the largest payroll in the sport, have added
22:11
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker at four years, two hundred and forty million
22:15
Speaker 2: dollars to their roster. And I mean, I mean, there's
22:19
Speaker 2: so much a conversation about like Baseball's broken and all
22:26
Speaker 2: the other owners are broken, and the Dodgers are doing
22:29
Speaker 2: it the right way. Look, there's something broken here. There's
22:34
Speaker 2: absolutely something broken here, and we'll get into the conversation
22:38
Speaker 2: the three of us about it. But they're playing with
22:41
Speaker 2: monopoly money. Bucky I mean, the only reason they can
22:44
Speaker 2: even afford this is because of these deferred payments for
22:48
Speaker 2: all of these Japanese superstars, all the Japanese superstars that
22:51
Speaker 2: they've they've added decided to work for three thirteen dollars
22:55
Speaker 2: an hour and defer all of their sixty hundreds of
23:00
Speaker 2: millions of dollars into the future. And I don't know
23:03
Speaker 2: how they're going to pay it, or if they're ever
23:05
Speaker 2: going to be forced to pay it, or if they're
23:06
Speaker 2: expecting the world to end in twenty thirty and they'll
23:09
Speaker 2: get out from underneath it, or they're expecting baseball to
23:14
Speaker 2: end up being so lucrative that that will be a
23:18
Speaker 2: dropping the bucket for them to have to pay, you know,
23:21
Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars a year on players that are
23:24
Speaker 2: too old to be on the roster. I don't know
23:27
Speaker 2: how they're going to do it, but it's obviously cleared
23:30
Speaker 2: space for them to pay Kyle Tucker sixty million dollars
23:33
Speaker 2: a year too. Over the blow away the market, I mean,
23:36
Speaker 2: when the Mets can't even afford players with an owner
23:40
Speaker 2: who only got into the business because he knew he
23:42
Speaker 2: could outspend everyone, When the Mets can't even compete with
23:46
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers financially because they've been able to
23:50
Speaker 2: defer payments into the future and they are spending monopoly
23:54
Speaker 2: money and outbidding everybody for anything that they want. There
23:58
Speaker 2: is a major frickin' problem in Major League Baseball right now,
24:01
Speaker 2: and it's going to end in a really ugly place.
24:04
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if Rob Manford wants it to.
24:06
Speaker 3: End in an ugly place. M Yeah, well, I wouldn't
24:09
Speaker 3: be surprised.
24:09
Speaker 6: I don't trust him very much, and so yeah, I mean,
24:12
Speaker 6: I would think when all of a sudden, you feel
24:15
Speaker 6: when you have what with with the Evil Empire was
24:17
Speaker 6: always the New York Yankees, or it felt like it,
24:20
Speaker 6: when when all of a sudden you have a team
24:23
Speaker 6: like the Dodgers that's in the last couple offseasons spent
24:26
Speaker 6: three times the amount that the Yankees have spent.
24:29
Speaker 3: I mean, that isn't when you're talking.
24:31
Speaker 6: About Okay, well, the Yankees are the third, fourth, or
24:34
Speaker 6: fifth biggest spenders as of right now. You know, I
24:38
Speaker 6: think the Mets are on there, Toronto's up there, Philly,
24:41
Speaker 6: San Diego. What I don't know exactly where everybody stacks
24:44
Speaker 6: as far As, and we know LA is number one,
24:47
Speaker 6: and then just take those other big market teams that
24:49
Speaker 6: are spending crazy money.
24:50
Speaker 2: Mets are two, Mets are Dodgers and Yankees are three.
24:53
Speaker 7: It says on a spow track that it's Dodgers won
24:56
Speaker 7: San Diego two, Toronto.
24:58
Speaker 2: Three, Mets four. I don't know there's anyway they're guaranteed salaries.
25:03
Speaker 3: Well regardless.
25:04
Speaker 6: My point is just basically you start talking about that group,
25:07
Speaker 6: right that the upper echelon teams that always spend, the
25:09
Speaker 6: big market teams, when there's somebody that's going up there
25:13
Speaker 6: and saying even you don't get to compete with this.
25:16
Speaker 6: I mean, Kyle Tucker's market value was about forty million
25:19
Speaker 6: dollars years whatever.
25:20
Speaker 2: He was thinking, yeah, just big money. And then we
25:22
Speaker 2: started hearing fifty are like no way fifty.
25:25
Speaker 7: Well, we talked about just yeah, you got two options,
25:27
Speaker 7: just pick one at fifty, yeah, exactly, And.
25:30
Speaker 6: They went to sixty and this one I was worried
25:33
Speaker 6: was going to be another one with a bunch of
25:35
Speaker 6: it deferred.
25:36
Speaker 2: It's not, it's not.
25:37
Speaker 6: There's some of it deferred, but I mean, out of
25:39
Speaker 6: two hundred and forty million bucks, if thirty million or
25:41
Speaker 6: something like that is deferred.
25:42
Speaker 3: That's you're still are going to be paying.
25:44
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a sixty some million dollars signing bonus
25:47
Speaker 6: right off the bat, and then the then fifty seven
25:51
Speaker 6: million dollars every single year with they got opt outs
25:53
Speaker 6: and all that. But regardless that the contract details are
25:56
Speaker 6: not near as important. It's just the fact that you
25:58
Speaker 6: can blow a Mets owner who doesn't have a threshold.
26:02
Speaker 6: He doesn't care about the luxury tax. A few teams
26:05
Speaker 6: don't care about the luxury tax, and yet you're blowing
26:07
Speaker 6: it out of the water. So what the Dodger's doing
26:10
Speaker 6: right now, especially if it turns into another World Series
26:12
Speaker 6: win where you're just going out and buying all the
26:14
Speaker 6: best talent, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends in
26:18
Speaker 6: an ugly way.
26:18
Speaker 2: They're up to a four hundred and thirteen million dollars
26:21
Speaker 2: payroll because those deferred payments they still count against your
26:24
Speaker 2: luxury tax. So they do break it down so that
26:27
Speaker 2: you do luxury tax wise, even if you're not giving
26:30
Speaker 2: Showa that big check, you're still from a luxury tax standpoint,
26:34
Speaker 2: they have to count the per year's salary against your
26:36
Speaker 2: payroll they're up to four to thirteen. That's one hundred
26:38
Speaker 2: million more than the Mets one hundred million, who are
26:42
Speaker 2: in second place on a per year thing. On a
26:44
Speaker 2: per year basis, I mean right now, the National Football
26:48
Speaker 2: League they have a cap of three hundred million dollars
26:51
Speaker 2: on their payroll. The National Football League has a ten
26:54
Speaker 2: billion dollars per year television contract. Major League Baseball is
26:59
Speaker 2: an eight hundred million dollar per year television contract. Now
27:03
Speaker 2: they also have local revenue as well.
27:06
Speaker 7: In game the Dodgers sound like a three hundred and
27:08
Speaker 7: fifty million dollar TV contract, I think so.
27:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's also local money, and then there's gate revenue
27:14
Speaker 2: and things of that nature. Certainly that add to to it.
27:18
Speaker 2: But ten billion versus eight, And yet we've got a
27:22
Speaker 2: baseball team with one hundred and thirteen million dollars more
27:26
Speaker 2: payroll than a football team that has sixty guys on
27:30
Speaker 2: its roster, seventy guys that they have to pay on
27:33
Speaker 2: their professional roster. Plus baseball teams have to play minor
27:37
Speaker 2: league guys and minor league contracts and signing bonuses for
27:41
Speaker 2: draft picks that are in the millions now, and they've
27:44
Speaker 2: got four levels of minor league players that got all
27:48
Speaker 2: got signing bonuses to some varying degree. And yet baseball
27:52
Speaker 2: fans just continue to think that the problem with baseball
27:55
Speaker 2: is that the owners won't spend. How much more do
27:58
Speaker 2: they have to spend? Well, and we're sixty million dollars
28:01
Speaker 2: per year and these are guaranteed contracts. Dak Prescott's got
28:05
Speaker 2: the highest per year salary in the NFL. It's sixty million.
28:08
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker now makes sixty million dollars per year. You
28:11
Speaker 2: want to know the difference. Cowboys can get out from
28:13
Speaker 2: underneath Dak Prescott. The Dodgers can't get out from nobody
28:17
Speaker 2: in baseball. These are guaranteed deals. It's like, how much
28:21
Speaker 2: more to baseball players have to have to make for
28:24
Speaker 2: people to I mean talk about monopoly money that fans spend.
28:29
Speaker 2: I just saw this thing and I'm not going to
28:30
Speaker 2: tell you where it's from. But the problem with baseball
28:34
Speaker 2: is the BS offers to Trek Schouobel from the Tigers.
28:37
Speaker 2: The Astros didn't re sign four star players from their
28:40
Speaker 2: farm system, the Mariners repeatedly not spending money while having
28:43
Speaker 2: a young core to turn a profit, the Red Sox
28:46
Speaker 2: salary dumping Mookie bets, so on and so forth. Oh,
28:48
Speaker 2: there's a lot of misinformation, just flat out it, factually
28:52
Speaker 2: incorrect things about that. But he just keeps going on.
28:54
Speaker 2: He goes the problem is the owners, not the Dodgers.
28:58
Speaker 2: What why you just step up every team in baseball
29:02
Speaker 2: who are trying to operate this way, and then the
29:05
Speaker 2: Dodgers are this incredible outlier and you think everybody else
29:10
Speaker 2: is wrong and not the Dodgers situation is wrong. You
29:15
Speaker 2: got to be kidding me. That doesn't make sense in
29:17
Speaker 2: any world. And so, I mean, this is heading toward
29:22
Speaker 2: a ugly, terrible lockout because I think Rob Manfred wants
29:27
Speaker 2: this thing to crash and burn, and he wants the
29:29
Speaker 2: Dodgers to lead the way so that they can implement
29:33
Speaker 2: a salary cap in the future. I think that's what
29:36
Speaker 2: he's driving toward. And he needs a really, really substantial
29:41
Speaker 2: argument because he knows the Players Association that he's going
29:48
Speaker 2: to be going up against. It's like slamming your head
29:50
Speaker 2: against a rock to get anything past the Players Association.
29:54
Speaker 2: But I do believe he's letting this happen because there's
29:57
Speaker 2: no way you should let this happen. He's letting it
30:00
Speaker 2: happen so that it helps his argument when they sit
30:03
Speaker 2: down the collective bargaining table to get a salary cap
30:06
Speaker 2: in place for the betterment of all of baseball players,
30:09
Speaker 2: Association will never go for it. And we could be
30:12
Speaker 2: without baseball for a year or two and it's because
30:15
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers.
30:17
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, what the Dodgers are doing definitely does not
30:19
Speaker 6: seem like it's good for the sport.
30:21
Speaker 3: There's I mean, we don't have enough time to get.
30:24
Speaker 6: Into like the fact that the tax bill that the
30:29
Speaker 6: Dodgers are going to pay is bigger than most of
30:33
Speaker 6: half of the team's payroll. So they're going to be
30:36
Speaker 6: paying attax to the lower teams. So to some degree,
30:40
Speaker 6: that's where an argument of the Dodgers be like, yeah,
30:43
Speaker 6: we're gonna go win. We're hooking you up with a
30:46
Speaker 6: whole bunch of money in the process. I mean, we're
30:48
Speaker 6: paying a toll if you will, We're paying a tax
30:51
Speaker 6: to do this. And I mean it's almost six hundred
30:54
Speaker 6: thousand dollars that they're going to be out of pocket
30:56
Speaker 6: this year, so with their payroll plus their tax bill.
30:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not paying and show Aotani sixty five
31:01
Speaker 2: million dollars because somehow, some way they don't have to
31:05
Speaker 2: pay him for another ten years.
31:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't know exactly how that is. My
31:09
Speaker 6: thought on that is probably it's the ownership growing. Wait
31:12
Speaker 6: a second, if we just go on a little dynastic
31:14
Speaker 6: run here when we all want to sell off and
31:17
Speaker 6: we have to then individually split up the bill due
31:21
Speaker 6: to our players that are deferred money, because that's what
31:23
Speaker 6: the new owner is not gonna be like, yeah, I'll
31:25
Speaker 6: take it, and I'll pay all the money that you
31:27
Speaker 6: push you kick down the road, plus the billions of
31:30
Speaker 6: dollars it's worth. I think that's where it's at now.
31:32
Speaker 6: If that's a smart business decision, I don't.
31:35
Speaker 2: Know how that works.
31:36
Speaker 4: I don't.
31:37
Speaker 2: I mean, they're smarter than me financially. I mean I'm
31:40
Speaker 2: one of the dumbest financial people ever, So I know
31:42
Speaker 2: they're smarter than me. But it is hard for me
31:45
Speaker 2: to even understand how that's going to work, how that's
31:49
Speaker 2: going to be legal under baseball rules and under you know,
31:55
Speaker 2: American government rules. Well, is plan don't even I can't
31:58
Speaker 2: even wrap my head around it.
31:59
Speaker 3: Well, just play is it?
32:00
Speaker 6: The last couple of years they've ended up signing two
32:02
Speaker 6: point one billion dollars worth of contract Yeah, right, So
32:05
Speaker 6: let's just say that that's two and a half billion
32:08
Speaker 6: dollars worth of contracts. If there's that many four hundred
32:11
Speaker 6: million dollars of deferred contracts from before these two years,
32:14
Speaker 6: which I don't think it's that much. The Dodgers could
32:16
Speaker 6: be sold right now for fifteen ten fifteen billion dollars
32:21
Speaker 6: that two and a half billion dollars. Good, right off,
32:23
Speaker 6: they right off into the sunset with it, know they do.
32:25
Speaker 2: It's quite as easy as you walk away with ten
32:27
Speaker 2: billion dollars from that sale. So I think there's a
32:30
Speaker 2: lot that you still owe that you have, you know,
32:33
Speaker 2: like and you you still have to owe a lot.
32:36
Speaker 6: Well, that's why I'm saying you could pay that off
32:38
Speaker 6: out of the money that you sell the team for
32:40
Speaker 6: whatever you owe, you could end up making a watch.
32:43
Speaker 3: I'm certain of it.
32:44
Speaker 6: It just bottom line is it still just makes the
32:46
Speaker 6: unfair playing field when all of a sudden, if there's
32:50
Speaker 6: other teams that were in the market for Kyle Tucker
32:52
Speaker 6: and you just as the Dodgers are like, we.
32:55
Speaker 3: Don't care what the number is, sixty million a here
32:57
Speaker 3: or two hundred.
32:57
Speaker 2: And forty they're playing the money they're playing with, they're
33:00
Speaker 2: not they're playing with monopoly money. And everybody else is
33:02
Speaker 2: trying to run a business except for the Mets. And
33:05
Speaker 2: the Mets are like, we can't even afford what they're
33:07
Speaker 2: doing right now. How are they affording this? What is happening.
33:10
Speaker 2: There's no way they're making that much money per year
33:13
Speaker 2: when you have other teams saying that we don't make
33:15
Speaker 2: any money. Now, yeah, the the appreciation of the value
33:20
Speaker 2: of franchises is going up across the board, but there
33:24
Speaker 2: are still owners out there that say that we don't
33:26
Speaker 2: even break even. And here are the Dodgers just like,
33:30
Speaker 2: we don't. We don't really operate in real money. We
33:33
Speaker 2: just whoever we want, we sign whatever it takes.
33:37
Speaker 7: And that's what seems ridiculous, Like, especially when you're over
33:39
Speaker 7: paying players so grossly, it's like, well, no one else, yeah,
33:43
Speaker 7: no one else can compete with that, because no one
33:45
Speaker 7: everyone else is trying to run a business. They're not
33:46
Speaker 7: going to overpay somebody so drastically. And the Dodgers are like, well,
33:51
Speaker 7: that's fine, we will whatever.
33:52
Speaker 2: The explanation is. And maybe there's a really sound explanation
33:56
Speaker 2: for it. That makes a lot of mathematical sense to
33:58
Speaker 2: some really smart people. The bottom line is most baseball
34:02
Speaker 2: fans don't understand it, and so you have left the
34:05
Speaker 2: entire baseball fandom from every organization that's not the Dodgers,
34:10
Speaker 2: either angry at the Dodgers or angry at their own
34:13
Speaker 2: owner because they don't spind like the Dodgers, and that
34:15
Speaker 2: is not a good place for the sport to be
34:18
Speaker 2: long term. That people think that the whole thing is
34:22
Speaker 2: rigged by a bunch of Scrooge McDucks sitting on their
34:26
Speaker 2: mountain of gold in their basement and they, ah, I'm
34:29
Speaker 2: not spending any money on my team. That's how twenty
34:34
Speaker 2: nine fan bases feel about their owner because of what
34:37
Speaker 2: the Dodgers do. And Rob Manford can't allow this to happen,
34:41
Speaker 2: just can't allow it to happen. It's just terrible for
34:42
Speaker 2: the sport. It's terrible for getting people excited for the
34:46
Speaker 2: sport when this stuff happens. And nobody can explain how
34:49
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are getting away with this, and yet they
34:52
Speaker 2: continuously keep getting away with it. All right, let's get
34:56
Speaker 2: back to Seahawks. Next Sports Radio ninety three point three
34:58
Speaker 2: KJRFM them to Drew.
35:01
Speaker 8: Lock to the Great Northwest. The Twelves have some rules
35:05
Speaker 8: so they'll be the best hit d K greet the Guards,
35:09
Speaker 8: make the pass, get some yards. Drew Lock is the
35:12
Speaker 8: Hawks qby play with skill, make some luck or we
35:16
Speaker 8: won't give a cheer. Drew Lock. Bring Drew Lock, Bring
35:22
Speaker 8: Drew Lock, bring thembardy He.
35:32
Speaker 2: That gotta go on the chucking buck in the Morning's album, Yeah,
35:37
Speaker 2: don't forget that press when we finally go to press.
35:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's my wife's single. Yeah for one single
35:45
Speaker 3: hit song. Well done. Lock is drew Lock is.
35:50
Speaker 2: Drew Lock is a happy drew Lock.
35:53
Speaker 3: Better not be the Seawks starting.
35:56
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Drew Lock is our backup and hopefully
35:59
Speaker 2: the playoffs Drue locks right places on the bench.
36:05
Speaker 3: Yep, that was the second.
36:12
Speaker 2: Yes, welcome into the show. It is a football Friday.
36:16
Speaker 2: We dusted that one off from the past. The old
36:18
Speaker 2: drew Lock is a song that Bucky's wife made for us.
36:24
Speaker 6: I love it when you got him from the Broncos
36:26
Speaker 6: and he lost apparently the competition to Gino. He never
36:31
Speaker 6: was Yeah, although he did play. He did play in
36:34
Speaker 6: a game against the Eagles and beat him like a
36:37
Speaker 6: Monday night game. I went to that game with my
36:39
Speaker 6: little brother. So it's I think you got a good
36:42
Speaker 6: backup quarterback. You just don't want to have to have
36:44
Speaker 6: him his first snaps being a playoff game.
36:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
36:48
Speaker 2: I mean I think I asked Greg about this at
36:51
Speaker 2: seven o'clock. I mean, do I have to ask the
36:54
Speaker 2: question if we need Drew Lock, can he win the
36:57
Speaker 2: Super Bowl for us? And Greg had an interesting response,
37:03
Speaker 2: is like, I think that the question doesn't need to
37:06
Speaker 2: be asked that Sam Donald's going to play. Yeah, he's
37:11
Speaker 2: got a little bit of an oblique but he Greg
37:14
Speaker 2: expressed zero concern as to not just him playing Saturday
37:18
Speaker 2: night because I know he's gonna play. I know he's
37:20
Speaker 2: going to try to go, but not having issues with
37:23
Speaker 2: it either, which is the second part of the conversation. Yeah,
37:26
Speaker 2: he's going to play, but is it going to affect him?
37:29
Speaker 2: It's going to affect his effectiveness. And so with those
37:34
Speaker 2: questions facing us here this morning, I did ask, I mean,
37:37
Speaker 2: do we need to think about whether or not Drew
37:39
Speaker 2: Locke can win a Super Bowl? And so he said, no,
37:42
Speaker 2: you don't need to think about that. And then secondarily
37:45
Speaker 2: he said if it comes to it, Yes, he can
37:48
Speaker 2: lead you to the super Bowl. That's just how good
37:51
Speaker 2: this defense is. That's what Greg said. I don't doubt
37:54
Speaker 2: it one bit. I mean, I think Sam Donald more
37:57
Speaker 2: often than not, these NFL teams and I'm talking and
38:00
Speaker 2: up one side and down the other, the majority of
38:03
Speaker 2: the time recognize who the better player is, and the
38:06
Speaker 2: better player ends up being the player. And so I
38:08
Speaker 2: think Drew Locke is for the better part of his
38:13
Speaker 2: I guess his resume so far has proven, ah, boy,
38:16
Speaker 2: you maybe are not a starter.
38:18
Speaker 6: Now he hasn't. He hasn't solidified that, he hadn't had
38:22
Speaker 6: so much playing time that he couldn't do starter things.
38:25
Speaker 6: And I remember watching him as a Bronco young Bronco
38:28
Speaker 6: that was he was reckless. And that's one of those
38:31
Speaker 6: things like if you can't you can't rain that in,
38:33
Speaker 6: you're not going to be a starter. Well, he hasn't
38:35
Speaker 6: gotten that chance to be a full blown starter since
38:38
Speaker 6: he basically came to Seattle the first time. But I
38:41
Speaker 6: think I think you're looking at a good backup quarterback.
38:44
Speaker 6: But there's a reason why Sam Darnold is the starter.
38:46
Speaker 6: There's a reason why he's in that position and you
38:48
Speaker 6: most certainly want him out there.
38:49
Speaker 2: Well, we're certainly going to talk more about it coming
38:51
Speaker 2: up here with the O Show. Thanks again to Kate.
38:55
Speaker 2: Our favorite one hit wonder here on the show. And
38:58
Speaker 2: that's not Millie Vanilli's stuff either. Yeah she was. That
39:00
Speaker 2: was real, uh, BILLI Finilly was just faking. They had
39:05
Speaker 2: a really good album. Yeah yeah, yeah, but that's more
39:09
Speaker 2: like Gangnam Style, yeah yeah, or Eagle Eye Cherry. All right,
