- 0:27Speaker 3: This is the first time.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Are you watching me? Are you looking at me?
- 0:31Speaker 3: They are now they're seeing me. Hold on, I'll stop talking. Nope,
- 0:35Speaker 3: make noise.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Stop staring at me. I'm just trying to do a
- 0:39Speaker 1: radio show. It's there.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Oh no, not to me again. Stop looking to be swan.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:45Speaker 2: So it's time for the OCHO, your eight top stories
- 0:47Speaker 2: of the day. We do it every Friday. We recap
- 0:50Speaker 2: the week that you're ready for the weekend. And yeah,
- 0:54Speaker 2: just by ticking off the top eight stories of the day.
- 0:58Speaker 2: We will start with bad news. The Mariners were swept
- 1:01Speaker 2: in San Diego. Started the series kind of with some momentum.
- 1:06Speaker 2: The team was heading in the right direction. We felt,
- 1:08Speaker 2: we knew they were taking on a good team in
- 1:10Speaker 2: the San Diego Padres we weren't expecting that series, but
- 1:15Speaker 2: that's what happens in San Diego.
- 1:17Speaker 1: It's a real mystery there. Discovered by the Germans in
- 1:20Speaker 1: nineteen oh four.
- 1:22Speaker 3: They named it San Diego.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Which, of course in German means a whales vagina.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Now there's no way that's correct. I'm sorry, I was
- 1:40Speaker 3: trying to impress you. I don't know what it means.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I don't think anyone knows what it
- 1:47Speaker 1: means anymore.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Yeah. Scholars maintained that the translation was lost hundreds of
- 1:52Speaker 4: years ago.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Doesn't it mean sant Diego? No, No, that's what it means.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Really well, agree to disagree?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Well, that is the the best line in there is
- 2:10Speaker 2: when he just says like he doesn't know. He admits
- 2:13Speaker 2: that he doesn't know what he's talking about, and then
- 2:15Speaker 2: she says what the obvious answer to it is, and
- 2:17Speaker 2: he goes, no, that's the only thing he's certain about
- 2:20Speaker 2: is that that's not it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Really.
- 2:22Speaker 3: I also really like her laugh.
- 2:24Speaker 1: She's like, ah, well, I do know this.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Wales Vagina took it to our boys the last three nights,
- 2:32Speaker 2: that's for damn sure. San Diego capped a three game
- 2:36Speaker 2: sweep of the Mariners last night, riding a four run
- 2:39Speaker 2: second inning off Luis Castillo and some shoddy defense Josh
- 2:43Speaker 2: Naylor uh for a five to two win last night.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So the Padres all things going swimming leaf for them.
- 2:50Speaker 2: They've won eight straight games. Meanwhile, the Mariners, all that
- 2:53Speaker 2: momentum that they took with him to California has unraveled
- 2:56Speaker 2: before them. The three game sweep drops them to eight
- 2:59Speaker 2: and twelve twenty games into this season. And so it's
- 3:05Speaker 2: not gone the way that any of us hoped or expected.
- 3:08Speaker 1: That's for sure. There was some sloppy baseball play during
- 3:12Speaker 1: the series.
- 3:13Speaker 2: There was a big lead blown late, and I think
- 3:16Speaker 2: some managerial questions as well. I think thinking back to
- 3:20Speaker 2: last night, you know, I've tried to stay off of
- 3:23Speaker 2: Dan Wilson's case this year, but last night, pinch hitting
- 3:28Speaker 2: for your hottest hitter, whether it's a lefty lefty matchup
- 3:32Speaker 2: or not, with an ice cold off the bench hitter
- 3:36Speaker 2: that hasn't had a major league hit since last July,
- 3:41Speaker 2: I've got a problem with and look. I like the book,
- 3:43Speaker 2: I like playing like the book, I like using the book.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I like the book is near that I can, you know,
- 3:49Speaker 2: look up what statistically needs to be done in this situation.
- 3:53Speaker 2: But Dan Wilson's got to start managing a little bit
- 3:56Speaker 2: more with his gut. I know that lou Panella would
- 3:59Speaker 2: tell him to do so. And to me, taking out
- 4:02Speaker 2: your hottest hitter if you've got some proven you know
- 4:06Speaker 2: Leviathan that comes off of the bench and I murder
- 4:09Speaker 2: left handed pitchers.
- 4:11Speaker 1: It's Connor Joe.
- 4:13Speaker 2: The only reason he's even on the roster is because
- 4:16Speaker 2: of an injury to two different players.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Well one different player who was the first to get
- 4:20Speaker 1: called up.
- 4:21Speaker 2: He hasn't proven that he can hit lefties this season
- 4:24Speaker 2: at all. He hasn't even played this season. He doesn't
- 4:28Speaker 2: have a major league hit since last July. And so
- 4:31Speaker 2: to take out your hottest hitter lefty lefty matchup or
- 4:36Speaker 2: not for somebody as unproven, somebody that you didn't really
- 4:40Speaker 2: feel as soon as you saw him take the bat
- 4:42Speaker 2: in his hand had much of a chance against an
- 4:44Speaker 2: all star left handed pitcher, and then to watch him
- 4:47Speaker 2: strikeout on three straight pitches and not even come close.
- 4:51Speaker 1: It was rough to watch. And I think it was
- 4:52Speaker 1: a big mistake.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would have it would have been rough
- 4:55Speaker 4: to watch if Luke Rayley had struck out on three
- 4:58Speaker 4: straight pitches. It would have been rough to watch anyone,
- 5:00Speaker 4: But I would have rather watched Luke Rayley strike out
- 5:02Speaker 4: on three straight pitches because I would have had more
- 5:04Speaker 4: faith than he wasn't going to And he's been so hot.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Okay, so we had a bat at bat.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Plus he stays in the game, Yes, and you can
- 5:11Speaker 2: use him, you know, against inevitably the right hander that
- 5:15Speaker 2: comes up later. Now, Joe did hit a line drive
- 5:16Speaker 2: down the left field line, and Loreano made a good
- 5:19Speaker 2: play on it later in the game. I'm not saying
- 5:21Speaker 2: he's useless, but in that situation, I mean, I just
- 5:25Speaker 2: don't know how you make that move. Yes, follow the book,
- 5:28Speaker 2: but occasionally you've got to kind of read the room.
- 5:31Speaker 2: And I will say the same thing about his use
- 5:33Speaker 2: of relief pitching.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Right now, I.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Mean, are we really I get you might have a
- 5:39Speaker 2: couple sacred cows in your bullpen, your closer, maybe even
- 5:42Speaker 2: your setup man, maybe even Brash as a sacred cow.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Well, we can't have.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Five of our eight guys that only can come in
- 5:51Speaker 2: the game and a tie or up one or two
- 5:55Speaker 2: after the sixth inning. I mean, last night, it would
- 5:58Speaker 2: have been nice to really get a one win out
- 6:00Speaker 2: of San Diego. You had the momentum, you scored twice,
- 6:03Speaker 2: then the Rayley Joe thing happened, but you still had
- 6:06Speaker 2: the momentum.
- 6:07Speaker 1: In the game.
- 6:08Speaker 2: You're putting Castillo back on the mound, and then when
- 6:11Speaker 2: Castile gets in trouble, you're bringing Cole Wilcox in the game,
- 6:14Speaker 2: like our seventh eighth best relief pitcher. I mean, I
- 6:18Speaker 2: think he's got the stuff that he could someday be good.
- 6:20Speaker 2: But come on, look at these numbers.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Matt Brash has thrown a third of an inning in
- 6:24Speaker 1: the last six days. Bizarreta one inning in five days,
- 6:29Speaker 1: Spire one inning in six days, Munnos one inning in
- 6:34Speaker 1: five days. For Air one batter in four days. None
- 6:40Speaker 1: of those guys are available in.
- 6:42Speaker 2: A two run deficit in the sixth inning of a
- 6:45Speaker 2: game that you seem to be on a comeback. You
- 6:49Speaker 2: could not afford to fall down another run. And yet
- 6:54Speaker 2: we decide no, Statistically, we just don't put in our
- 7:00Speaker 2: five best relievers when we're down two in the six
- 7:03Speaker 2: That's just not what we do.
- 7:04Speaker 4: We only use them when we're up four, like the
- 7:08Speaker 4: day before. I mean, it makes it makes no sense
- 7:10Speaker 4: to me. It doesn't make any sense. I can't I
- 7:13Speaker 4: can't wrap my mind around it.
- 7:14Speaker 2: And then on top of it all, you know, you've
- 7:16Speaker 2: got munos calling you out, saying I'm not pitching enough.
- 7:20Speaker 2: We got to pitch these guys more. What are we
- 7:22Speaker 2: saving them for?
- 7:23Speaker 3: Listen to your pitchers?
- 7:24Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Tonight the Mariners return home.
- 7:28Speaker 2: They're taking on the Texas Rangers, and man, the promotion
- 7:32Speaker 2: really has jumped.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It up a notch. For tonight's game. A team of
- 7:36Speaker 1: assassins targets the Rangers' putting together a desk squad, leading
- 7:41Speaker 1: to an epic showdown. I have your lovely bride on
- 7:45Speaker 1: the nixt welcome toll places going up. This is Ranger tonight.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I mean, really did set that up?
- 7:55Speaker 3: Must watch television apparently.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I guess that's out of Texas. Huh, Yeah, that's not
- 7:59Speaker 1: to the marin pr doing that.
- 8:01Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 8:02Speaker 4: I mean I like that the Texas pr called us
- 8:04Speaker 4: a team of assassins.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Well I'd like to think that we are.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Well let's show it.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly feels to me like we're slap boxers right now.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Jacob de gram Naivaldi and Mackenzie Gore are set up
- 8:16Speaker 2: to start the weekend series. Seattle's going to counter with Gilbert,
- 8:20Speaker 2: Kirby and Wu So it's their three best against our
- 8:22Speaker 2: three best.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Let's do it. First pitch from T Mobile tonight at
- 8:26Speaker 1: six forty. The Mariners off to an unimaginably bad start
- 8:29Speaker 1: considering the expectations. Then again, I think this is worth
- 8:33Speaker 1: noting there are one hundred and forty two games yet
- 8:37Speaker 1: to play. Oh really, Yes, that's a lot of base
- 8:39Speaker 1: That's a lot.
- 8:40Speaker 3: That's a lot more than we've played.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Yes, so an eight and twelve record, highly disappointing the
- 8:47Speaker 2: way that we've been losing as of late, disappointing. Yes,
- 8:52Speaker 2: series in San Diego, disappointing. Hopefully good Mariner fan base,
- 9:00Speaker 2: atmosphere and some great pitching is the right sort of
- 9:04Speaker 2: recipe to get us back on track.
- 9:05Speaker 1: One hundred and forty two games to go.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Unlike the krackon who ran out of time a week
- 9:10Speaker 2: ago and last night ran out of their season entirely
- 9:14Speaker 2: taking on Colorado at Houston for.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Cha shot backdor that score what puck Parker Kelley off
- 9:26Speaker 1: the pass or change.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Satellite's two f seven forty one to play the.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Third Everett fits You, the last goal call of the
- 9:34Speaker 2: season for our guy, Everett fits You. That is your
- 9:38Speaker 2: McDonald's delivery of the game, last night's top call from
- 9:41Speaker 2: the Kraken Audio Network, brought to you by McDonald's. Ordering

- 9:57Speaker 2: of a thirty four to thirty seven and one campaign,
- 10:00Speaker 2: a third straight season for the five year old franchise
- 10:03Speaker 2: without a playoff appearance. Colorado two Seattle nothing to finish
- 10:08Speaker 2: another disappointing year.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I can't say. I had hoped they'd
- 10:13Speaker 4: put up more fight at the end. And I know
- 10:14Speaker 4: when we were talking to was it al He was saying, hey,
- 10:17Speaker 4: you want to I can't remember if it was Aller
- 10:19Speaker 4: Emverertt saying you want to end the season on a
- 10:21Speaker 4: positive note.
- 10:22Speaker 3: No, yeah, you want to.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Go into the offseason thinking, okay, we had some fight
- 10:25Speaker 4: left in us and I know Colorado is a really
- 10:27Speaker 4: good team, so I suppose a two to nothing loss
- 10:29Speaker 4: isn't as bad as it could be, but it's a
- 10:34Speaker 4: disappointing way to end the season.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Two losses.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Disappointing season.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that too.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Change is coming to the roster, perhaps significant change. Needless
- 10:43Speaker 2: to say, Todd Laiwiki isn't pleased to be watching the
- 10:46Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs from the sidelines.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Again this year. I think the big shakeup's coming.
- 10:52Speaker 2: I don't think that you're playing patty cake with this offseason.
- 10:55Speaker 2: And if Lane Lambert's safe, then there's got to be
- 10:59Speaker 2: some people that aren't. Yeah, and probably some pretty big names.
- 11:03Speaker 2: So I would expect at very minimum a shakeup and
- 11:09Speaker 2: it may be a massive.
- 11:10Speaker 1: One this offseason.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Well, yeah, something's got to change, that's for sure.
- 11:13Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup playoffs are going to begin tomorrow without
- 11:17Speaker 2: the Seattle cracking, and yes, once you get to the playoffs,
- 11:21Speaker 2: so it's just a it's just a lot more button up,
- 11:25Speaker 2: you guys.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Put one thing.
- 11:27Speaker 5: I'd run a cool game here, I have any troubles suspicion.
- 11:36Speaker 1: There you go, the best line from a great movie.
- 11:39Speaker 1: The field is officially set.
- 11:41Speaker 2: The number one seed Colorado in the West will take
- 11:44Speaker 2: on the Los Angeles Kings. That'll be on Sunday tomorrow
- 11:47Speaker 2: at noon. The one seed in the East, Carolina will
- 11:49Speaker 2: take on Ottawa, although I'm seeing a lot of experts
- 11:52Speaker 2: pick in Ottawa to pull off an upset in that one.
- 11:55Speaker 2: We'll preview the Stanley Cup Playoffs with ever fits you
- 11:59Speaker 2: coming up at nine o'clock here this morning. Minnesota, Dallas,
- 12:04Speaker 2: Philadelphia at Pittsburgh. Also on Saturday Sunday, Montreal and Tampa Bay,
- 12:09Speaker 2: Boston and Buffalo and Utah and Las Vegas. The Mammoth
- 12:13Speaker 2: made the playoffs this year, and then Edmonton and Ana
- 12:17Speaker 2: and don't start until Monday, so their series will get
- 12:21Speaker 2: started Monday night, the Ducks and the Edmonton Oiler. So
- 12:25Speaker 2: that's your Stanley Cup playoff matchup. And again we'll provide
- 12:28Speaker 2: a preview for you the only way we know how
- 12:30Speaker 2: to do it. Green Jacket Draft Today at nine o'clock.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Ever going to be with us or on the phone.
- 12:35Speaker 4: I believe he is going to be on the phone.
- 12:36Speaker 4: I might put him on zoom though, so we can
- 12:38Speaker 4: atast see his face.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to see his reaction when he crumbles
- 12:42Speaker 2: at all my great picks, That's what I'm saying.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Uh, Huh, I want to see the heart ache.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm gonna try that. We'll see.
- 12:47Speaker 4: I know it's cracking media day, so that's causing some
- 12:49Speaker 4: issues with where he'll have to be, But I think
- 12:52Speaker 4: we might tie out.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Do you say cracking meatia.
- 12:54Speaker 4: Their post season media stuff, they've got a bunch of
- 12:57Speaker 4: stuff they got to Nobody wants to talk.
- 12:58Speaker 3: They've got a bunch of stuff.
- 12:59Speaker 4: They go.
- 13:00Speaker 2: I answer for we want to start a boy that
- 13:03Speaker 2: all right. NBA playoffs also start tomorrow.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Basketball came, he gave me kim.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Basketball.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Okay, they gave me kimy because basketball. He came, give
- 13:25Speaker 1: me ball because I'm keeps going.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And they're just so gobsmacked that they're like, wait a minute,
- 13:36Speaker 2: what do you mean you don't like the lyrics?
- 13:39Speaker 1: Do you want us to change the lyrics? Oh, you
- 13:40Speaker 1: don't want us to sing at all.
- 13:42Speaker 4: I just like when they're like, well, it started with
- 13:45Speaker 4: his poem and then it grew into this. So his
- 13:48Speaker 4: whole poem was blabb blah blah blah blah, basketball, gim
- 13:51Speaker 4: me give me, give me the ball because I'm gonna
- 13:53Speaker 4: dunk it.
- 13:55Speaker 3: That was the poem.
- 13:57Speaker 2: All right, So tomorrow ten Toronto at Cleveland, you'll have
- 14:03Speaker 2: the Timberwolves taking on the Nuggets. You will have the
- 14:06Speaker 2: Hawks and the Knicks, and you will have the Rockets
- 14:09Speaker 2: and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are playing without Doncic,
- 14:12Speaker 2: it looks like, and also Austin Reeves. So nobody's given
- 14:16Speaker 2: the Lakers a chance in this series, and it might
- 14:20Speaker 2: have been the break that Kevin Durant needs. If Kevin
- 14:22Speaker 2: Durant and the Rockets don't get through this, I realize,
- 14:26Speaker 2: YEAHA loves KD, but this is a must. You have
- 14:28Speaker 2: to get past a Lakers team without two of its
- 14:31Speaker 2: three best players.
- 14:32Speaker 3: I would think.
- 14:33Speaker 2: So, you were supposed to be the piece that made
- 14:34Speaker 2: them a championship team, and you've been really good.
- 14:37Speaker 1: You're always You're always great, You're always great. But your
- 14:40Speaker 1: teams don't win.
- 14:41Speaker 3: There's no excuse if they don't make it past that.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Your teams don't get better with you on the team,
- 14:47Speaker 2: even though you're great. What does that say? What are
- 14:50Speaker 2: we supposed to take from that? The Atlanta Hawks, I think,
- 14:54Speaker 2: may have a chance of knocking off New York and
- 14:57Speaker 2: I will give Toronto a slight chance over Cleveland, But
- 14:59Speaker 2: I I think most of the first round matchups are
- 15:03Speaker 2: foregone conclusions. Sunday, you're gonna have Philly and Boston foregone conclusion,
- 15:08Speaker 2: Portland at San Antonio foregone conclusion, and then Oklahoma City
- 15:12Speaker 2: and Detroit. They await tonight's results in the play in tournament,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and the Thunder and the Pistons foregone conclusion that they
- 15:19Speaker 2: will advance. As far as I'm concerned, the play in
- 15:21Speaker 2: games will start tonight at four o'clock. Needs it for
- 15:23Speaker 2: the eight seeds in both conference, says Charlotte will take
- 15:27Speaker 2: on Orlando, and then in the West it'll be Golden
- 15:31Speaker 2: State and Phoenix. And I should warn you unless I'm
- 15:35Speaker 2: not looking at things the right way. Pretty much the
- 15:38Speaker 2: start of the NBA Playoffs is going.
- 15:40Speaker 1: To be on streaming.
- 15:42Speaker 3: That's annoying.
- 15:43Speaker 2: I mean Prime Video. I think most people have Prime Video.
- 15:47Speaker 4: And yeah, because of the NFL probably well, and you
- 15:50Speaker 4: get it with your Amazon sys and.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you get it with that.
- 15:53Speaker 2: And then Peacock also will have some games, but there
- 15:56Speaker 2: are only two games out of the eight Saturday and
- 15:59Speaker 2: Sunday that are on network television.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Yeah, you are correct, I'm yeah, one game Saturday, two
- 16:05Speaker 3: games Sunday.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Again, I think Oh, I mean, I really do like
- 16:09Speaker 2: the NBA, don't. I don't try to go out of
- 16:11Speaker 2: my way to like crush the NBA. But man, you're
- 16:14Speaker 2: making a lot of bad decisions these days, Adam Silver,
- 16:17Speaker 2: and this, to me is another one. There.
- 16:19Speaker 4: It is saying, though, for the Detroit and San Antonio
- 16:22Speaker 4: games on Sunday, NBC and.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Peacock, But they always say that. I think.
- 16:25Speaker 3: I don't know, so I'm wondering.
- 16:27Speaker 4: I think you because you can watch it on both,
- 16:29Speaker 4: so I think it is still on network television.
- 16:32Speaker 1: That is not always the case.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Maybe that is the case for this, but that is
- 16:35Speaker 2: not always the case because Peacock is NBC, so they
- 16:38Speaker 2: usually put NBC Peacock.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got Peacock, nbcsn on other games. So I
- 16:43Speaker 4: think if it's saying NBC first and then Peacock's second,
- 16:46Speaker 4: that you can mention it on NBC.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Okay, well maybe you can, but there's a chance that
- 16:50Speaker 2: if you don't have the right streaming services, you won't
- 16:53Speaker 2: be able to watch.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Most of the basketball this weekend. And don't buy more
- 16:57Speaker 1: of it, Honestly, don't buy more of it. Don't if
- 16:59Speaker 1: you don't have it. I don't buy it. Honestly, don't
- 17:01Speaker 1: buy it. It's not worth it.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Sounders taking on Saint Louis on Saturday. The Sounders have
- 17:08Speaker 2: been concacaffing and mlsing and it's led to them being
- 17:13Speaker 2: really banged up at this point in the season despite
- 17:16Speaker 2: their terrific MLS start. Here's the nutty professor, Brian Schmetzer.
- 17:22Speaker 6: As down as we are. You know, Kim Ky, he
- 17:26Speaker 6: Ryan Sailor, the UDUB grad Yamar. We've got injuries left
- 17:31Speaker 6: and right. Our center back corps. We've been getting some results,
- 17:36Speaker 6: and look a lot of it is. Alex Roldan has
- 17:39Speaker 6: slot next to Jackson Reagan and he's not a center
- 17:43Speaker 6: back by trade. I don't think he's ever played center
- 17:46Speaker 6: back ever in his life when he was at SU,
- 17:49Speaker 6: but he fits nicely next to Jackson. Then we've got Kilani,
- 17:54Speaker 6: you know, another UDUB product, coming in right back where
- 17:57Speaker 6: he is. And you know those guys knew who Jackson,
- 18:01Speaker 6: Alex and Kalani. They've been doing the business.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Sounders were knocked out of Conca caff despite winning Wednesday.
- 18:08Speaker 2: They just didn't have the tiebreaker numbers for that, and
- 18:11Speaker 2: they returned to MMLS play tomorrow night at lumen Field
- 18:16Speaker 2: and they are off to a four and one and
- 18:18Speaker 2: one start. But that much soccer this early in the season,
- 18:22Speaker 2: when you have all of those injuries that seem to
- 18:24Speaker 2: be mounting for the Mad Scientists squad. I don't know
- 18:28Speaker 2: how many of the typical starters are will actually play
- 18:32Speaker 2: on Saturday.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
- 18:35Speaker 4: I really try to understand soccer and the way their
- 18:38Speaker 4: season goes. But with the Conka caff and then the
- 18:39Speaker 4: Conka caffin in the regular season and then the whatever
- 18:42Speaker 4: champions thing they do, I get confused.
- 18:45Speaker 1: And we are six days. Nothing confusing about this.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Everybody understands fully the power of draftmus.
- 18:53Speaker 1: It's Draftmas time.
- 18:55Speaker 5: It's draftmus time. Smell of pig skin in the Yeah,
- 19:01Speaker 5: it's trapless time. Yeah, draftless time. There's speculation everywhere. Some
- 19:08Speaker 5: teams are traded off and some are straight down. They
- 19:12Speaker 5: hope to make the allst the Versingle round. It's trafless time.
- 19:17Speaker 5: It's traftless timed, a magical time of the year.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Hey, Vegas is on the clockman on the clock for
- 19:25Speaker 2: a while. There's no mystery. Fernando Mendoza will be the
- 19:29Speaker 2: number one pick. The Heisman Trophy winner out of Indiana.
- 19:32Speaker 2: But everything else is a mystery. Even as early as
- 19:36Speaker 2: number two overall in the draft, we don't know where
- 19:38Speaker 2: this draft is heading. That's why I don't care if
- 19:41Speaker 2: it is a down year in talent. It's going to
- 19:43Speaker 2: be a spectacular NFL draft starting next Thursday. Seahawks right
- 19:47Speaker 2: now hold the thirty second pick. None of us expect
- 19:50Speaker 2: them to hold on to the thirty second pick. John
- 19:52Speaker 2: typically trades down out of the first round at that stage,
- 19:57Speaker 2: and he has only four picks this year. So that
- 19:59Speaker 2: is the spectation, but you never know. That's the beauty
- 20:03Speaker 2: of draftmas.
- 20:04Speaker 1: The Jets, the Browns, the Chiefs, the Cowboys, and the
- 20:06Speaker 1: Dolphins all have multiple first round picks, so they should
- 20:10Speaker 1: be the by math logic, they should be the big
- 20:13Speaker 1: movers and shakers. And this year's.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Draft, by the way, there will be five people they
- 20:19Speaker 2: will have multiple picks. Wednesday at the Maller Millon Mock Draft,
- 20:23Speaker 2: It's back the annual tradition that is David Softy Maler
- 20:27Speaker 2: and Hugh Millan an entire show next Wednesday dedicated to
- 20:32Speaker 2: mock drafting with you the listeners, the designated listeners that
- 20:37Speaker 2: will participate for fabulous prizes Wednesday right here on kjar.
- 20:42Speaker 2: And speaking of Draftmas, coming up next that is the
- 20:45Speaker 2: daily staple known as stocking stuffers. The latest NFL Draft
- 20:49Speaker 2: rumors next on kjar. Not only as a draft miss.
- 20:53Speaker 2: We are closing in on draft day. We're just six
- 20:55Speaker 2: sleeps away from NFL Draft Day. And so here I
- 20:58Speaker 2: am in my winter's cap. Oh my, you can hear
- 21:02Speaker 2: it rattling in my teeth, my smoker's pipe, my smoker's jacket,
- 21:06Speaker 2: ready to go through some stalking stuffers.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Man, that's fires. It's raging today. The flames are licking
- 21:14Speaker 1: at my face.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Well it's you said you were gonna turn the brightness
- 21:18Speaker 3: down in there, but it's still on.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Wow.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I'm not sure if it was supposed
- 21:23Speaker 2: to be this bright.
- 21:24Speaker 3: I don't think it needs to be.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Not nearly as cozy.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I mean YouTube, we could try it and see what happens.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to dim the lights for stalking stuffers,
- 21:32Speaker 1: not make it next to the sun.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 21:35Speaker 2: All right, let's go through some trade rumors and speculation.
- 21:39Speaker 2: After all, that's what makes the draft the season so special.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is something I just saw
- 21:46Speaker 2: from I think It's Cleveland dot Com had said this,
- 21:48Speaker 2: and they've had some pretty interesting little threads leading up
- 21:51Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft. Too many trade down teams and
- 21:55Speaker 2: not enough trade up targets, that's the headline. And we
- 22:00Speaker 2: heard from Albert Breer and a stocking stuffer earlier this
- 22:03Speaker 2: week from Sports Illustrated about all the teams teams three
- 22:07Speaker 2: through seven that are all looking to move down. And
- 22:10Speaker 2: yet we also have heard throughout the entire process, is
- 22:12Speaker 2: not a great draft this year, not great at the top,
- 22:17Speaker 2: and also there's a fall off after say round five,
- 22:21Speaker 2: maybe the sixth and seventh round picks aren't really worth having.
- 22:25Speaker 2: So it's one thing to say we're looking to trade down.
- 22:28Speaker 2: It's another thing to find somebody that likes somebody enough
- 22:32Speaker 2: to come up and give you all the assets that
- 22:34Speaker 2: you're looking for by moving up. And so I actually think,
- 22:40Speaker 2: and because we hear this every single year about all
- 22:43Speaker 2: the trade activity, I maybe I'm wrong, or maybe I've
- 22:46Speaker 2: just been bitten way too many times believing that we're
- 22:49Speaker 2: going to have more trade activity than we ended up with.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna see a lot.
- 22:53Speaker 2: I think we're gonna end up seeing a lot of
- 22:55Speaker 2: teams stick and pick this year, and maybe the Seahawks
- 22:59Speaker 2: end up doing it. Well, I mean my belief is
- 23:01Speaker 2: that they'll trade down. It seems logical to trade down,
- 23:04Speaker 2: you know, charting John's history, he trades down here. But
- 23:08Speaker 2: maybe it is one of those kind of drafts where hey,
- 23:12Speaker 2: we really like this player, he's available. You know, we're
- 23:15Speaker 2: not getting the normal trade value for this pick that
- 23:19Speaker 2: we tend to seek, so let's just take the guy
- 23:22Speaker 2: we like best on our board. Right now, the worst
- 23:25Speaker 2: thing we come out of this with is somebody we like.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's I think they would obviously be
- 23:32Speaker 4: looking to trade down because that's yeah, as you said,
- 23:35Speaker 4: his m but it's yeah, it's not the worst thing
- 23:38Speaker 4: if they just stay there.
- 23:39Speaker 2: There are three trends though out there that man, they
- 23:42Speaker 2: are being repeated so frequently that I gotta believe there's
- 23:47Speaker 2: something to these.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Number one, that Arizona.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Just keeps repeatedly being mentioned as a team that's trading
- 23:53Speaker 2: down from number three. Number two that Dallas is repeatedly
- 23:58Speaker 2: being talked about as a that's moving up, and so
- 24:01Speaker 2: I don't know if that makes them dance partners. On
- 24:03Speaker 2: draft Day, the Cowboys sit at twelve, the Cardinals sit
- 24:06Speaker 2: at three, and the name and it just keeps popping up,
- 24:10Speaker 2: over and over and over. Attached to Dallas is Sonny
- 24:14Speaker 2: Styles from the Ohio State Buckeyes, the guy that won
- 24:18Speaker 2: the NBA or see me the NBA the NFL combine,
- 24:22Speaker 2: the six foot five inch athletic freak show that the
- 24:25Speaker 2: Ohio State Buckeyes have showcased here for the last few years.
- 24:30Speaker 2: It's very strange how much they miss Micah Parsons after
- 24:33Speaker 2: tracing training Micah Parsons, because this is trying to get
- 24:37Speaker 2: Micah Parsons back, or in theory, trying to get him
- 24:39Speaker 2: back because this is what Michah Parsons was, a linebacker
- 24:42Speaker 2: with pass rushing abilities, who's an athletic freak and the
- 24:46Speaker 2: fastest guy at his position in the draft pound for pound,
- 24:51Speaker 2: and that's what Sonny Styles is in this draft as well.
- 24:54Speaker 2: And so how much of the mountain they'll have to
- 24:57Speaker 2: move to get Sonny Styles not sure, but when this
- 25:01Speaker 2: kind of a rumor just keeps getting repeated, this attachment,
- 25:05Speaker 2: there's got to be something to it. Certainly, I know
- 25:08Speaker 2: that we really lean on that expression where there's smoke,
- 25:11Speaker 2: there's fire.
- 25:11Speaker 1: This time of the year. But this feels like fire.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Where there's fire, there's fire.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Is the truth.
- 25:16Speaker 2: That's yeah, yeah, So I got to believe that there's
- 25:20Speaker 2: a lot too Dallas's interest in Sunny styles here in
- 25:24Speaker 2: the process. Would they have to move all the way
- 25:26Speaker 2: up to number three to get him maybe, I mean,
- 25:29Speaker 2: if you want him that badly, I don't think that
- 25:31Speaker 2: you can mess around with not.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Moving up that high.
- 25:36Speaker 2: The last thing you want to do is sit there
- 25:37Speaker 2: and wait till five and he's already gone and off
- 25:40Speaker 2: the board. And then the other one that just consistently,
- 25:43Speaker 2: and this is newer, is coming up, is that, yes,
- 25:47Speaker 2: Arizona is interested in ty Simpson. So the Cardinal's ty
- 25:51Speaker 2: Simpson connection is really being trumpeted at a lot of
- 25:56Speaker 2: different sites right now. And so that would not be
- 26:00Speaker 2: obviously at number three. I don't even think that would
- 26:02Speaker 2: be if they traded down from three to seven or
- 26:06Speaker 2: twelve or wherever. I don't even think that they would
- 26:08Speaker 2: take him as high as twelve if there is in
- 26:11Speaker 2: fact a trade with Dallas. I think this is more
- 26:13Speaker 2: of they have a high second round pick, and they
- 26:16Speaker 2: would try to get up into the first round on
- 26:18Speaker 2: the backside, where they feel they could get Ty Simpson
- 26:22Speaker 2: and Mike Sandos said this earlier. There is an art too,
- 26:26Speaker 2: not only liking the player, evaluating the player, loving the player,
- 26:30Speaker 2: all being on the board, same board with the player.
- 26:32Speaker 2: But where can we get that player? I mean, we
- 26:34Speaker 2: went through this last year with Emon Wory. I jokingly
- 26:38Speaker 2: gave Mike McDonald a lot of crap the last time
- 26:42Speaker 2: that we had him on the airwaves because he and
- 26:44Speaker 2: John just were playing way too loose waiting around for
- 26:47Speaker 2: Emon Worri. How dare you how dare you risk us
- 26:50Speaker 2: not getting Nick emon Worey Now that we know what
- 26:52Speaker 2: we know about Nick Emon Worrey, I know.
- 26:54Speaker 4: But thank goodness, we didn't know what we knew about
- 26:56Speaker 4: Nick and Emon Worey when they were trying to draft
- 26:58Speaker 4: nick Eman.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Right, But that's the game, and that's how you play
- 27:01Speaker 1: the game.
- 27:01Speaker 2: And the general manager is like, yeah, we really want
- 27:04Speaker 2: nick game and worry, but man, what's the way, what's
- 27:07Speaker 2: the latest that we.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Can get him?
- 27:09Speaker 2: And and obviously they do a lot of intel on
- 27:12Speaker 2: other teams to try to figure out what they're thinking,
- 27:15Speaker 2: and it allows John Schneider and Mike McDonald to manipulate
- 27:19Speaker 2: the draft of the degree that we can limit what
- 27:22Speaker 2: we give up in a trade to move up to
- 27:26Speaker 2: the spot, the last spot possible that we would be
- 27:30Speaker 2: willing to wait to try to get Nick Eame and Warry,
- 27:32Speaker 2: and then you got to find that team to dance with.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Then you got to find the trade partner. So obviously
- 27:36Speaker 2: it worked out well with us. But that's the art
- 27:38Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft. It's one of the reasons why
- 27:40Speaker 2: I love.
- 27:40Speaker 1: It so much.
- 27:41Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders also from our stocking stuffer list.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Oh oh, that was a good smok ring.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Well, they've been sitting on the number one pick for
- 27:53Speaker 2: a while, and yet the rumor this morning is that
- 27:56Speaker 2: teams are still calling and the Raiders aren't hanging up
- 28:00Speaker 2: the phone. The last thing the Raiders have said about
- 28:02Speaker 2: this is everybody knows where we stand.
- 28:06Speaker 1: That's a bit vague. I mean, we don't know where
- 28:10Speaker 1: you stand.
- 28:12Speaker 2: There have been a lot of cases, as a matter
- 28:14Speaker 2: of fact, most cases where the team with the number
- 28:17Speaker 2: one pick in the draft has already announced to the
- 28:19Speaker 2: world what we're doing with it.
- 28:21Speaker 1: By now.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Yeah, they're pretty quiet.
- 28:23Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean, I realize we still got
- 28:25Speaker 2: six days to go until you actually have to make
- 28:27Speaker 2: this decision, and often that decision is announced before the draft,
- 28:32Speaker 2: but in a couple of days leading up to the draft.
- 28:34Speaker 2: But we still have not heard that you're taking him.
- 28:37Speaker 2: There are plenty of examples of teams that have announced
- 28:41Speaker 2: by now that who they're taking at number one, barring disaster,
- 28:47Speaker 2: and so they haven't done that, and they are being
- 28:51Speaker 2: awfully vague about their.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Love level for Mendoza.
- 28:55Speaker 2: So maybe, I mean, you want to talk about something
- 28:58Speaker 2: that would just put the draft world on its ear,
- 29:00Speaker 2: is that we've got Las Vegas moving on from number
- 29:04Speaker 2: one and trading off the rights to Fernando Mendoza.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Almost everybody we've talked to says it's a slam dunk
- 29:11Speaker 2: one hundred percent. But there is a reason. There's got
- 29:14Speaker 2: to be. They're keeping the door open a jar for something.
- 29:18Speaker 2: If they're not announcing it, if they're not gonna go
- 29:20Speaker 2: ahead and declare no, he's our guy. Maybe they will
- 29:24Speaker 2: over the weekend, maybe they will buy Monday, probably wait
- 29:26Speaker 2: for the news cycle to begin on Monday. But they
- 29:29Speaker 2: haven't exactly closed the door on the possibility of moving
- 29:34Speaker 2: Mendoza at this point. And that in and of itself
- 29:37Speaker 2: is worth thinking about.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, make it a little interesting.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Finally, the Chargers may be the team that's interested in
- 29:46Speaker 1: Dexter lawrence that's from NFL dot com. Would they be
- 29:49Speaker 1: willing to trade the second twenty second overall pick for
- 29:52Speaker 1: the Giants disgruntled star defensive tackle something that you might
- 29:57Speaker 1: keep an eye on there. So those are your stocking
- 29:59Speaker 1: stuffers for today.
- 30:01Speaker 2: We're going to Green Jacket Draft to preview the NHL
- 30:04Speaker 2: Playoffs with ever it fits you, coming up at nine o'clock,
- 30:07Speaker 2: but coming up, just a little tidy work on something
- 30:09Speaker 2: that I brought up earlier this week. I was kind
- 30:11Speaker 2: of told Chuck, it's not that big of a deal,
- 30:13Speaker 2: and yet why are.
- 30:15Speaker 1: They making a big deal out of it not being
- 30:17Speaker 1: a big deal? Talk about that next Sports Radio ninety
- 30:20Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, Pay attention all table games players

- 30:49Speaker 3: It could be tortilla or corn or money potentially.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know pringles.
- 30:55Speaker 2: I mean, I love them, but I gotta believe it's
- 30:59Speaker 2: money chips.
- 31:00Speaker 3: I could go for some chili cheese fritos.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Are those chips are Friedo's chips?
- 31:04Speaker 3: I would thinks, Yeah, they're tortilla chips, corn chips, corn chips.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some debate about that, but I'm with you.
- 31:11Speaker 1: I'm with you.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Details at the One Club and everything to Leyla dot
- 31:17Speaker 2: Com Quill Seeda Creek Casino, also to Leylap Resort Casino.

- 31:23Speaker 2: Is it supposed to be weeked, the beautiful weekend, just
- 31:26Speaker 2: like it's been in the last thirty six hours.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Is it all good this weekend? Or rain?
- 31:31Speaker 4: I think it's supposed to be pretty good. I did
- 31:33Speaker 4: see like a slight chance of rain, but I don't know.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I'm going to be outside all weekend, so I hope
- 31:38Speaker 4: that's minimal.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you got softball those softball Stamish.
- 31:42Speaker 3: That's right, Okay, we'll see you.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Don't make a day of it, go to Snohomish all
- 31:48Speaker 1: day long and then just like drop the kid off
- 31:50Speaker 1: at the park and then just go up and down
- 31:53Speaker 1: the strip.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Yeah, and just go eat and drink at all the
- 31:55Speaker 4: restaurants and shop and all the shops.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Yeah, go to the pie place. Yeah, got the pie place.
- 32:00Speaker 1: In all about the pie place there?
- 32:02Speaker 3: It is amazing.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good.
- 32:04Speaker 2: But I think it's like the it's the novelty that
- 32:07Speaker 2: you can drink alcohol while you eat pie. I think
- 32:10Speaker 2: is the thing that draws people there.
- 32:12Speaker 4: There might be that, But if you go during the
- 32:15Speaker 4: is it marion Berry or Huckleberry one of them? They
- 32:17Speaker 4: got like a marion Berry or Huckleberry cream pie.
- 32:20Speaker 1: I love pies named after corrupt politicians.
- 32:24Speaker 3: And that is what they're going for. So you got
- 32:28Speaker 3: to get the cream pies.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Apparently I can't eat them, just like I can't eat
- 32:31Speaker 4: the chili cheese freedoms that I brought up earlier. But
- 32:34Speaker 4: doesn't mean I don't like the idea.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Well, I think you do it. I think that's what
- 32:39Speaker 1: your Saturday and Sunday look like. Screw softball. There's plenty
- 32:42Speaker 1: of softball, you know what.
- 32:43Speaker 3: You got a lot of games in your life coming up,
- 32:45Speaker 3: a lot.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Of other parents there to watch your kid play softball,
- 32:48Speaker 2: that's right, and a lot of softball.
- 32:50Speaker 1: For you to watch in the future. You don't have
- 32:52Speaker 1: to do it every weekend, not when there's pie and alcohol.
- 32:55Speaker 4: We had a game last night, we got a game tonight,
- 32:58Speaker 4: and now I got three games tomorrow and another two
- 33:01Speaker 4: on Sunday.
- 33:02Speaker 3: I mean that's a lot. I think I'm putting it
- 33:03Speaker 3: in my dues.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, when is it Ashley time? That's what
- 33:07Speaker 1: I like.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Question I asked myself all the time, Chuck when, and
- 33:11Speaker 4: then I never have found an answer.
- 33:14Speaker 1: All right, So I.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Brought this up earlier this week, and I was kind
- 33:17Speaker 2: of told, yeah, you really don't know what you were
- 33:18Speaker 2: talking about, and at least on the text line and
- 33:21Speaker 2: on the YouTube channel, and maybe you're right. I'm not
- 33:25Speaker 2: sitting here trying to profess that I do have any
- 33:29Speaker 2: expertise in this particular area of the sports world. But
- 33:33Speaker 2: I did mention before the WNBA Draft that I found
- 33:37Speaker 2: it interesting and at least worth discussing, and I wasn't
- 33:41Speaker 2: hearing it on the shows that discuss such things that
- 33:45Speaker 2: Azy Fudd was possibly going to be the number one
- 33:49Speaker 2: pick in the WNBA draft, which she was, and it
- 33:52Speaker 2: just so happens that she and the star player on
- 33:55Speaker 2: the team that had the number one pick is Paige
- 33:58Speaker 2: Becker's and they are they're in a relationship, they have
- 34:02Speaker 2: a personal relationship, and so I thought that that should
- 34:07Speaker 2: be discussed, right I would think, so, is that not
- 34:09Speaker 2: part of the conversation of whether or not she should
- 34:13Speaker 2: be taken number one by the Dallas Wings?
- 34:16Speaker 4: Is that could it create more problems to have most
- 34:20Speaker 4: people on a team that are in a relationship right.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Down the line? And I was pretty much told it
- 34:25Speaker 1: doesn't really work that way in that world.
- 34:27Speaker 3: It happens quite a bit. It was one of the
- 34:29Speaker 3: things I saw, right So, and.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Maybe that's case. Maybe nobody's worried about that. They're used
- 34:33Speaker 2: to handling that it's no big deal. Maybe they're hooking
- 34:35Speaker 2: up all the time. I don't know, but I thought
- 34:38Speaker 2: it was at least worth a discussion for everybody else
- 34:41Speaker 2: that was watching and wondering who the Wings should take
- 34:45Speaker 2: number one. Well, sure enough, it comes full circle because
- 34:48Speaker 2: I wasn't going to bring it up again.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Yesterday. She had her introductory asy at her introductory press conference,
- 34:53Speaker 1: and she seems just wonderful, and one of the questions
- 34:58Speaker 1: that was asked, and I think it's and play. I
- 35:01Speaker 1: think it's very fair to ask. Was about the personal
- 35:04Speaker 1: relationship between her and Paige Becker's And he was stopped.
- 35:08Speaker 1: The reporter was stopped from asking the question. The pr
- 35:13Speaker 1: people for the Dallas Wings said, we're not going to
- 35:15Speaker 1: talk about personal lives. I'm like, well since when?
- 35:18Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 35:19Speaker 2: I thought that was I mean, people, did Mike Rabel
- 35:22Speaker 2: and Diana Russini not just turn into something like, you know,
- 35:25Speaker 2: the personal relationships that could affect the way the team
- 35:29Speaker 2: functions absolutely are in play, are they not?
- 35:32Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, and I think it wasn't his question even
- 35:34Speaker 4: asking did she help you figure out like how to
- 35:36Speaker 4: prepare for this and things like.
- 35:37Speaker 1: That was a very fair question. It was not some
- 35:39Speaker 1: low blow question. Yeah.
- 35:40Speaker 4: He wasn't being a jerk about it at all. It
- 35:42Speaker 4: was just, you know, how is you know, have you
- 35:45Speaker 4: guys talked about this?
- 35:46Speaker 3: How is this?
- 35:47Speaker 4: I thought totally in bounds, But they made it weird
- 35:50Speaker 4: by stopping him.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And they made it weird by stopping him, and then
- 35:53Speaker 2: he went. He was asked about it afterwards because then
- 35:55Speaker 2: he became the story the reporter and he said, well,
- 35:58Speaker 2: I think the Dallas Wings look a lot further because
- 36:00Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to like, by them hushing me up
- 36:03Speaker 2: makes it sound like they're ashamed of it.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and that they and that they are, that.
- 36:08Speaker 4: They've got a problem with it, that they didn't think
- 36:09Speaker 4: about it or something, which that was my.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Point leading up to the NWNBA Draft. Why aren't then,
- 36:16Speaker 1: why aren't the.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Analysts that are covering this sport actually telling us this
- 36:21Speaker 2: is what's going on and it really isn't a big
- 36:23Speaker 2: deal and here's why X Y and Z. But the
- 36:26Speaker 2: fact that nobody was discussing it and then it wasn't
- 36:29Speaker 2: talked about on draft night during the broadcast, or at
- 36:33Speaker 2: least I didn't see. I didn't watch a lot of it,
- 36:35Speaker 2: and then a reporter is hushed up about asking it.
- 36:39Speaker 2: It's like, well, who's got a problem with it? It
- 36:42Speaker 2: sounds like you guys do right. It sounds like the
- 36:44Speaker 2: league does. It sounds like the organization does. It sounds
- 36:46Speaker 2: like a z Fud does. It sounds like I mean
- 36:49Speaker 2: or maybe they just I wouldn't even say. It sounded
- 36:51Speaker 2: like azy Fudd had one.
- 36:52Speaker 4: It sounded like it was the Wings like they were like,
- 36:54Speaker 4: we don't want to be critiqued for this.
- 36:56Speaker 1: If or the league?
- 36:57Speaker 3: Yeah, or the league, and we don't want this to
- 36:59Speaker 3: be a folk Well it's not a focus, but it's
- 37:01Speaker 3: a fair question.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say I was VW to a
- 37:04Speaker 2: lot of people. I wasn't trying to make it a
- 37:06Speaker 2: controversial statement. To me, it seemed logical that part of
- 37:10Speaker 2: the conversation if you are going to discuss the WNBA
- 37:15Speaker 2: draft and who the Wings should take at number one,
- 37:18Speaker 2: when there are three possibilities that could go number one,
- 37:22Speaker 2: I would think that, oh, one of the three has
- 37:26Speaker 2: a sexual relationship with the star on the team going
- 37:30Speaker 2: into the draft. How does that affect whether or not
- 37:33Speaker 2: you draft her? How is that not fair and in play?
- 37:36Speaker 3: I would have thought it was. And again, you're growing
- 37:38Speaker 3: the WNBA.
- 37:39Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that have watched a lot
- 37:41Speaker 4: of the Big four sports that have never thought about
- 37:44Speaker 4: to people on a team being in a relationship.
- 37:47Speaker 3: So again, people don't understand is it a big deal?
- 37:50Speaker 3: Is it not? I mean that's a fair question to ask.
- 37:52Speaker 2: But the fact that they were like they seem like
- 37:54Speaker 2: it's taboo that they're not going to talk about it
- 37:55Speaker 2: and we're not going to shed light on it and
- 37:57Speaker 2: we're not going.
- 37:57Speaker 1: To discuss it. Makes it sound like you've got.
- 37:59Speaker 3: The yeah, I didn't handle it well.
- 38:02Speaker 1: All right.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Coming up next, Everett fitzu is going to join us.
- 38:06Speaker 1: He is going to for the first time. He's been
- 38:08Speaker 1: an analyst in our Green Jacket drafts, but he has
- 38:11Speaker 1: never been a participant. Today he will be both. He's
- 38:15Speaker 1: very versatile. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R
