Episode Transcript

(00:02):
The conversation today on the golf coursewas all about what happened this morning in
Louisville, Kentucky. I mean,I woke up this morning, and I'm
sure you guys had the same reactionI did. I was up at like
five point fifteen, five point thirty, and I saw this tweet. I
don't know who it was. Ican go back and look at it,
but somebody put a post on Xthat Scottie Scheffler had been arrested. And
the first thing you do now isyou go to that person's profile and make

(00:25):
sure that they're legitimate, right right? Is this a joke, is this
a parody? Whatever? Blah blahblah. And I couldn't believe it.
I mean, I was just gluedto my TV this morning, man glued
to Twitter, watching all this stuff, trying to figure out what the hell
happened. This. To me,this is almost the story of the year
in sports. I mean, imaginea Super Bowl and the starting quarterback gets

(00:47):
arrested the morning of the Super Bowlfor getting into a car accident running over
a police officer and then has toleave the can do warm ups in the
can, push ups in the clink, and then get on his butt and
get back to the stadium for thebiggest game of the year. This is
incredible. It is incredible, andI think the first thing you have to
look at is, I'm glad wehave video. I'm had Jeff Darlington was

(01:10):
there. Thank God for Jeff Darlington, because we really don't have it.
He said. He said, wesaw what the police officers were acting like
when they were yanking Scottie Scheffler away, and they even yelled at Jeff Darling
Darlington when he was when he mentionedthat he was from ESPN, he said,
back up or I'll rest you too. So it was obviously, I
mean, there were some guys thatwere up pretty high and mighty running that

(01:33):
security and also a problem. Twosides of the problem. One the first
police officer that got to Scotty Schefflerwaved him through, so he'd already been
pushed through. The second one toldhim to stop. But they're both wearing
yellow rain slickers. They looked likesecurity guards. They did not look like
police office volunteers for a while.Absolutely right. Well, I mean again,

(01:56):
I think just to kind of paintthe pictures. So apparently what happened
this morning, first of all.Before all of this happened with Scotty Scheffler,
there was an accident with a patrongot hit by a shuttle bus apparently,
is that correct, and die.So there was already a fatality outside
the golf club this morning, bunchof traffic. Whatever. John Daly pulls
out. He's not gonna make thecut anyway, so he says the hell

(02:19):
with it and just pulls out.Then the story about Zalatoris is a cam
smith. I think it was theyhad to walk two miles to get to
the golf course because traffic was sobad, So it shows right. But
I think the PGA Championship can saygoodbye to Valhalla for a while. I
mean, I'm not sure if there'sone schedule there. Maybe there is,
maybe there isn't, but it's beena train wreck there. Every tournament they
have at that golf course is anabsolute you know what show. So I'm

(02:43):
very curious to see if the PGAgoes back there. But you had the
fatality anyway, which would have beena major story to begin with. And
then Scotty Scheffler, the world's numberone, is in a PGA sanctioned vehicle
because the PGA as you know,gives the players cars to drive around while
they're playing in the tournament, right, buick whatever. And so all these
guys have cars. I'm not sureif they're marked or not, but they're

(03:06):
all driving to the golf course.They're being told, hey, go around,
this big traffic mess will take careof you. And so Scotty Scheffler
is doing what he thinks is theright thing. The only angle on this
story that I'm concerned about, potentiallyis this issue with the police officer who
apparently was dragged about ten yards.Tried to grab Scotty through his window and
he dragged them ten yards. Youknow, he's got to bust it up,

(03:27):
wrists or whatever something like that.He ripped his eighty dollars pants,
so he was in the police.Yeah, gotta put the price of the
pants on the police. Do pantsin Louisville are like four hundred dollars jeams
in Seattle, all right, Soit's a high end product down there in
Kentucky. But he's gonna be arraignedon Tuesday morning and we'll see what happens.
His lawyers get involved, all thatstuff. Whatever. I just think

(03:47):
this, I think if this guygoes on to win this tournament, it
would be one of the most legendarywins in the history of the PGA Championship.
The guy got arrested, was inprison. He was in jail.
He was literally in a jail sail, stretching to get ready for his tea
time three hours before the PGA Championship. He can set a record. He

(04:08):
can become the first PGA Championship winnerever to be arrested during the tournament.
That's never happened. Ever, hemight be the first one to pull it
off. And would you bet againsthim right now? I wouldn't. No,
probably not. Xander's playing better,Goll's playing better right now, but
Scotty's right there considering the circumstances.And really this elevates Scotty Scheffler to a
new level of popularity, because therewas really only one problem with Scotty Scheffler.

(04:30):
He wasn't interesting, right, Wellthat was interesting? Oh god.
So now he's the best golfer inthe world and by the way, the
best golfer since Tiger in his prime. I hope we all you know,
for those that just don't follow golfor only watch the four majors, Scotty
Scheffler's numbers are equivalent to what Tigerwas doing in his prime from a ball

(04:50):
striking stamp down. Now, he'snot the putter that Tiger Woods is.
He's not the player that Tiger Woodsis, right, but he is absolutely
the best player that the world hasseen since Tiger Woods when he was dominant,
what seventeen eighteen years old? Right? Well, what do what do
kids say Jackson about? Is itQ rating? Is that what they say?

(05:10):
Yeah, athletes and movie stars andthings like that, kids say that
there is a there is a qQ right like your street cred if you
will, right, I mean,I don't know, Jackson, What do
popularity? What do people of yourILK say to kind of judge how popular
people are? Popularity? Popularity?Okay, that's boring, right. We
called street craig. Okay, whereDick and I came from the mean streets

(05:32):
of Normandy Park in Bellevue, Washington, and we called street cred babies.
So don't you think his cred wentup to with this thing that everybody's rooting
for him? Totally? Everybody isrooting for And let's just think, I
mean, this guy, what hehas gone through to win four of the
last five tournaments, and oh,by the way, he was awful in
the fifth he got second, right, right, And so to be the

(05:54):
most dominant player in the world.Then to pull out last week to watch
his first child being born. Missusthe Wells Fargo. He's gotta be distracted
coming in here. Sure, justfires a beautiful round yesterday, gets arrested
this morning, and then puts upanother sixty six today. I mean,
incredible. It puts into perspective allof us that use excuses on the golf

(06:17):
course. Oh, I wasn't Iwasn't focused. You know, I had
a bad day at work today.Oh that's why, that's why I shot
at ninety three. I had abad day to day. Well, you
didn't get thrown in jail and Scottyput up a sixty six. So it
really kind of it really kind ofpushes aside any crappy little excuse we could
possibly have on the golf court.Well, I mean he said he's boring,
and I get what you're saying.He doesn't have a great personality.

(06:38):
He's so unique though, in thathe does everything the wrong way with his
feet on the course, right,I mean, you would never ever ever
teach that if you were a golfprofessional. He's an incredible player, as
you said, amazing ball striker.He's not a great partner, but he
still wins tournaments. And now he'sbeen arrested, right, So I think
he's just kind of endearing himself toeverybody. And I've always he said,

(07:00):
I don't think anybody will be ableto do for golf what Tiger Woods did,
But can Scotty Scheffler come as closeas anybody to doing it? I
think if we can, think youcan. I think we can. If
we can all wrap our arms aroundScotty just being just an aw shucks,
you know, hometown guy that youlisten to. All of these broadcasters,

(07:20):
all of these writers that have beenaround the golf world for twenty thirty forty
years. I have heard many ofthem over the last forty eight hours say
this is the greatest person I've evermet in the game. And I've heard
multiple people say that. So ifwe can just embrace him for being a
quote unquote good guy, because alot of times we like to embrace the

(07:43):
controversial character. Right, Tiger wascontroversial, but we all embraced him,
right, We loved him for hisfaults. We loved him for his greatness.
Well, Scotty really doesn't have anyfaults except now he's been arrested,
so at least we can and whetherhe deserved to be or not, that's
up to you, that's up toothers. The entire wise became controversial when
the thing with Eland happened, iswhat you're talking about. Yeah, before

(08:03):
that, there was really no controversy. Right before he drove into a tree,
right, that's before that it wasproblem. I mean, he was
just he was amazing obviously. ButI don't know, man, I just
I can't believe that this thing happenedthis morning. I'm I'm just flabbergasted by
him. I'm flabbergasted by all ofit. I'm flabbergasted by the reaction.
I'm flabbergasted by the way he playedcoming out of his of his little stint

(08:26):
in the little Louisville p D.There but just an amazing story and if
he goes on to win this tournament, it'll be absolutely incredible. So we're
gonna hear from Scotti Scheffler at somepoint today. We've got about three minutes
or so from US press conference wherewe went into detail, talking about what
happened, talking about his stay inthe clink, all that. So we'll
do that coming up three forty five. Little fun with audio. Four o'clock

(08:46):
today, our bracket contest, Ourbracket tournament, if you will, is
back. We're gonna discuss the greatestposition group in the history of Seattle sports
at four o'clock today. We havefour, excuse me, eight different position
groups that we're gonna debate. Thelob from twenty thirteen, the current Mariner
rotation, the twenty twenty three Huskywide receivers, the seventy nine Sonic Guards,

(09:11):
the one Mariner bullpen, Nelly Roade, Sasaki, the twenty fourteen Sounder
forwards, the twenty fifteen or excuseme five Seahawk offensive line, and the
storm Guards from twenty eighteen meeting Sewell, Sue Byrd and Jewel Lloyd. Correct.
So we're gonna do that at fouro'clock that it will debate all that
and crown a winner right here onthe radio show. So we got that

(09:33):
going on, got the Mariners inBaltimore today and another opportunity, guys,
let's face it, Dick, forthe Mariners to kind of prove what they
are. I mean, we saidthis when they went to Houston, right,
we said this during that sixth gamestretch from Hell when they went nine
to seven. Here's another opportunity togo on the road against a really good,
I think league championship caliber Baltimore teamand show us how good they are.

(09:54):
Well, they are one hundred winteam last year, and I think
a lot of people said, well, it's ball Baltimore. They've got some
good talent, but they kind ofpop last year, right are they?
They might fall back to earth alittle bit while they're twenty seven and fourteen.
They got a sixty six winning percentage, so they're right back there on
one hundred win pace. Again.They're only one game behind the Yankees for
the best record in all of allthe American leagues. So yeah, I

(10:16):
mean this is this is one ofthem. You did your you did your
eight and eight over sixteen games.I mean, I think we got it.
I think this is probably a goodtime for us to take a look
at the extended schedule here, right, pick out a number of games that
we can look at and say,all right, what do you what do
we think that they should do?I mean, they've got Baltimore for three,
they're at New York for four,they're at Washington for three, and

(10:39):
then they got four against Houston athome, and then as that La series
at home? Is that the Angelsare the Dodgers. That is the Angels?
I believe it's the Yes, that'sthe Angel So let's I mean,
let's stop it at the Houston seriesright before we how many is that ten
games? Is that correct? Ten? Plus? My wife is a little
slow here, I had to refresh. Well, it's three series, right,
well, but ones that yeah,one is a four gamer. And

(11:01):
then yet Houston. They got threeagainst Baltimore, three against four against the
Yankees, three against the Nationals,and four against the Astros. It's a
fourteen game series. I mean,look, I realized the Nationals that are
up and coming, but they're notthere yet. The Astros, I think,
are still a pretty good baseball team, but they're not as good as
they thought they're gonna be. Ifthey can go split with the Yankees one

(11:26):
and two against the Orioles, right, yeah, that means you're a three
and four baseball team after seven games, and win the series against the Nationals,
you're a five and five. Andthen if you go two and two
in the Astro Series seven and seven, sign up. I think I think
this run is tougher than the eightand eight run that I said I wouldn't

(11:48):
sign up. I think this isa tougher run, especially those first two
series two teams win the World Series. Yeah, I'm I'm absolutely signing up
for seven and seven. They're thirtyone and twenty seven, and then their
schedule really starts the lighting up alittle bit and you can start making some
hay on five hund Yeah. Ijust want to start seeing guys like Horay
Polonko start hitting the baseball consistently.I want to see JP Crawford come back
and start hitting the ball consistently,whether you win or lose. Right,

(12:11):
Okay, if you're if you're sixand eight, or you're eight and six,
or you're seven and seven, whatever, But how do you get there?
Right? Like? Is is HoraPolonko gonna catch fire this week?
When they're on the road on theEast Coast. The weather's gonna be great.
It should be a hitter's paradise whereverthey go. It's time. It's
it's it's the middle of May.It's time for the guys that are making
big money paychecks. For this baseballteam to start pulling their freaking weights starting

(12:35):
tonight. Well yeah, and thisthey should look like launching pads compared to
t Mobile Park, right. Imean, you've got you've got a couple
of stadiums. You know, YankeeStadium is about average. I'm just looking
at the park factors right now.Yankee Stadium is about average, and Camden
Yards is right about average. Butaverage and average feels a hell of a
lot better than Tea Mobile Park,right, And you're right, and the
weather's gonna be good. So II think these are the times when you

(12:58):
got to start consistently just scoring fourand five runs. And when you do
that, they have won an unbelievableclip this season. Yeah. Well,
I mean, look, it's alsoa challenge for these pitchers because these are
two pretty good offensive teams you're seeingBaltimore and the Yankees. But to me,
this is just all about tread andwater against the good teams. I
mean, I realize that people willsay your standards are too low, blah
blah blah. Look, nobody unlessyou're the two thousand and one Mariners and

(13:22):
you win one hundred and sixteen games. Nobody plays twenty games over five hundred
against the best teams in baseball.It just doesn't happen like that. So
I'm I'm I'm okay with playing fivehundred against teams like this. But I
also think that, look, man, you got a chance because this is
a team that you could see inthe playoffs. This is absolutely a team
that you can see in the playoffs. And there's history with Baltimore, and
there's recent history the whole Felix Bautistathing from a year ago. Remember that

(13:46):
whole mess. For God's sakes,Okay, that's still there. You made
huge, well, I think thefans made it huge. I was just
asking the guy a stupid ass question, Hey, if you like it or
not, is it a big dealto you? Blah blah blah, And
then people lost their freaking minds.But they're There is a little bit of
a kind of maybe some sore kindof emotions there in some ways between the

(14:07):
Oriole fans and the Mariner fans.We definitely know how we feel about the
Yankees, but there is there issome real rivalry kind of I think blood
forming here with teams like Baltimore,with teams like Houston with teams like Texas,
and I love it. That meansthis baseball team is being taken seriously
well. And also the Mariners andthe Orioles are growing up at the same

(14:28):
time. Right, they were rebuildingat the same time and now they're growing
up and becoming contenders at the sametime. So that even that kind of
you know, that kind of Elicitsa little bit of a rivalry too,
because if you have kind of twoships pass in the night, like the
Astros and the Mariners, where oneteam's getting worse and one team's getting better.
Yeah, we had the rivalry lastyear and the year before, but
that's kind of dying away until theAstros can start playing baseball. But the

(14:50):
Baltimore teams, like Baltimore and Seattleare all coming up at about the same
time. Well, it kind ofbrings up a question too, because I
think we all agree the Seahawks biggestrival is the forty nine Ers, Husky's
biggest rival is the Oregon Ducks.What would be number three on that list
in our city? Would it bethe Apple Cup rivalry? Still? Because
I'm hearing Cougar fans tell me there'sno rivalry anymore because the Cougars are at

(15:11):
a different conference, which I thinkis blarky. By the way, I'm
must said something else, absolute nonsense. But if we can agree, the
Niners are number one for the Hawksand the Oregon Ducks are number one for
Washington. What is the third biggestrival in the city? Is it still
the Apple Cup? I think itis? Is it Mariner's astros? Mariners
astros would be in my Sounders Timbers. I mean, I think Marinor's astros

(15:33):
and Sounders Timbers are probably four orfive in one order another after the applica.
If we're talking about intensity, ifwe're just talking about pure intensity,
it's Sounders Timbers. But we're not. We're not talking about intensity, and
I know you're not. You're talkingabout size and by size standards. No,
you can talk intensity, well,ill, my size intensity is Sounders
Timbers and it's not close. I'msorry, that just isn't well. Oregon,

(15:54):
you dubbed to me, is numberone more than the Huskies hate the
Ducks. No, for the thirdI'm talking about for the third, we've
already established the top two. Yeah, so Niner, Seahawks, Oregon you
dub in whatever particular order, whetheryou're a bigger Seahawks fan bigger so number
three, according to Jackson Felts isPortland Timbers and Sounders FC. That's the

(16:15):
number three and intensity biggest rivalry thistown has to offer. No size size
Mariners Astros is probably size bigger.But I don't think the intensity is there
yet. I can buy. Ican buy Jackson's argument on the intensity being
higher than the Apple Cup because there'sjust the intense difference between the Ducks and

(16:37):
the Huskies. That the fact thatwe were even having this debate like five
years ago, who's the Husky's biggestrival? You See, here's the thing.
I would hang out with Cougar fansand let them wear Cougar gear.
I actually played around this morning withtwo schmuck golf club. There's one Oregon
fan here at the club and he'sstanding right there, and I will never
talk to you wearing a tar heelbecause that's the only way I'll talk to

(16:57):
him. I won't let him wearOregon around me. Okay, So there's
more hatred between Bill Medford and DaveSofty Maller than there is Bob Jansen and
Dave Softe Maller. That's the guywearing the cougar hat over there by the
way. All right, text usin four, nine, four or five
one, give us your top threerivalries in the city. We'll hear from
Scotty Scheffler found with audio our bracketsegment at four o'clock. Humilling at five

(17:19):
All coming up at first a PGAChampionship updates, but big time to get
that, good time to get thatfrom Valhalla and Westwood one right now,
love from the R and R FoundationSpecialist Broadcast Studio. Now back to Softie
and Dick on your Home for theHuskies and the Kruken Sports Radio ninety three
point three KJR FM. All rightback here at Meridian Valley Country Club for

(17:45):
the annual Folds of Honor Golf Tournamentbenefiting the Folds of Honor Foundation. Our
friends at American Lake Veterans Golf Courseon JBLM two. Great causes here hanging
out all day until seven o'clock tonight. Humell enjoining us at five uh four
o'clock today, guys, we're gonnahave our what do we call this thing?
By the way, because I keepgetting to a point where I say

(18:07):
four o'clock today we're gonna have ourthat. I have no idea what to
say next. It's Friday Friday brackFriday Friday brackets. So are we doing
this every Friday from now on?Or is this just when nothing else is
going on? We can't come upwith something better through the through I think
the summer, and then through thesummer every Friday at four o'clock. Okay,
because we have a lot of pressure. Man, we got tons of

(18:30):
top we have tons of different bracketideas, so we got plenty to last
us through all. Who's doing thesegraphics, by the way, for social
media, that would be me thatyou you did that? Pretty damn good.
It's fine, Okay, I can'tdo that, but it's pretty damn
good. All right, So today, so we've done so far. We
did the best play of the twentytwenty three Husky season right, and we

(18:52):
did the best play of the twentythirteen Seahawks Super Bowl right from that game?
Is that correct? Or from theseason? What we did? I
thought it was the Super Bowl,the Super Bowl game. From the game.
It was from the game, fromthe game, from the game.
I'll have to go back and see. I thought it was from this it
was a tip would have won.Correct. It was the biggest moment of

(19:12):
that game, is what it was. And the winner ended up being Jermaine
Curs's touchdown to make it nothing,which we got yelled at for you that
we've got yelled at both times,so we'll probably get yelled at by somebody
for this one. I'm starting tothink that Hugh just doesn't like anything we're
doing here on the air at all. We actually did a bracket with Hugh
when you weren't here. Oh youdid, what do you do? You

(19:33):
know? You did the non Seattleathlete you would want to have on a
Seattle team right now? And Hughsaid, Lebron James right, correct,
this guy? All right? Sotoday the best position group in Seattle sports
history. I think we have tomake sure that we clear something up here.

(19:55):
Okay, this is not the bestposition group over a multi year period
of time. This is the bestposition group on one single team, is
that correct? Jackson year? Likeif we're talking about the legion of Boom,
for example, the secondary, we'retalking about the two thousand and thirteen
Seahawks secondary that started off the yearwith Brandon Browner right before he got hurt

(20:19):
and then Jeremy Lane was a partof that as well with the twenty twenty
four Mariner rotation, which we'll talkabout that in a second. By the
way, if they deserve to beon this list, the twenty twenty three
Husky wide receivers, the seventy nineSonic Guards, the two thousand and one
Mariner Bullpen, twenty fourteen Sounder forwardsright yep, which is Obafemi and Clinton

(20:42):
Dempsey correct ye, two thousand andfive Seahawks offensive line Walter Jones, Hutchinson,
Tobeck, Chris Grayshawan Locklear, andthe twenty eighteen Storm Guards Sue Bird
and Jewel Lloyd. So the questionis which of those single position groups over
the course of that year were thebest ever in the history of the city.

(21:03):
The second question is we're talking aboutincluding the twenty twenty four Mariner rotation
and they've only played forty five gamestogether. That's right. Why are they
on this list? That's a fairquestion. They're on this list because they
put up a historic twenty game stretch. That's why they're on this list because
for twenty games they were one ofthe best rotations in the history of baseball.

(21:27):
Now, the other twenty to twentyfive games, they probably are the
tenth best rotation in baseball this year. Why do I say that? Because
they're ranked fifth overall, and ifthey were the number one over the top
over those twenty games, they're probablysomewhere in the bottom of the top ten
in the other twenty five games.Well, I'm gonna go ahead and do
this. We're not gonna make thechange because the call has already been made,

(21:49):
Okay, but I'm gonna go aheadand say this that I am going
to participate in this segment under protestat four o'clock this afternoon. What would
you have liked? I don't believethat this pitching staff longs to be in
that conversation yet. I mean,you were talking about a pitching staff.
It's the middle of May, andwe are putting them potentially on the same

(22:11):
table with Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson, Sean Locklear, Robbie Tobeck, Sue
Bird, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, cam Chancel, Roma Dunes, blah
blah blah. Now when the yearcomes to an end, great, but
hey, knock on wood, whatif these guys get banged up. What
if they fal through, What ifthey can't finish the year, What if

(22:32):
they fall apart in September. Ifwe put this position group in this contest
and they don't have the next fourand a half months like we think they're
gonna have, we may look kindof stupid by the time this whole thing's
already said and done, and welook dumb already by the way, blame
j Well. I would say,I would say the eighty three Seahawk defensive
line with Jacob Green, Joan Ashand Jeff Bryant will be on that list.

(22:56):
I gave you the ninety one Huskyoffensive line with Lincoln's Pelly Cunningham,
guys like that. There might bethree or four different position groups that we
can use. I still think theMariners outfield in nineteen ninety six, I
mean there are over fifty bombs.How about the one infield man with all
the rude right with Mark maclamore atCarlos Gen David Bell. That group was
incredible. So I don't know.I mean, I'm just tossing it out

(23:18):
there. There's a little part ofme that feels a little queasy putting these
guys on that list. This earlyend of the year. I think that's
fair. I mean, I'm justlooking at the Ken Griffy Junior and Jay
Buner. You throw anybody else inleft field you want, right, those
two guys had ninety three home runsand two hundred and seventy eight RBIs right.
Oh yeah, And they're not onthe list, I think. But

(23:41):
we got freaking Logan Gilbert and BrianWooh on the list. I think this
is the reason why I texted youguys yesterday morning. This idea was because
it's inspired by this pitching staff.Because even if they don't win the World
Series this year, or maybe theydon't win the West, if they just
get to the playoffs, maybe winone series, where does this position group
rank? Who knows? But becausethey are the thing that inspired this topic,

(24:06):
that's why I have them as theeighth seed. Fine, so,
because they got your brain waves working, Yes, they deserve a seat at
the table. That's that's the one. That's the one reason I put them
on the right. Okay, fine, three thirty eight, we'll do this
at four o'clock. We'll debate it. We'll pick a winner. The best
position group in Seattle sports history.Coming up at four o'clock today. Uh,

(24:26):

Okay, he's going to jail.And it ain't nothing you can do
about. Period. There's nothing youcan do about Okay. Now, do

(25:56):
you have first media? Okay,that's all I'm just I'll just want to
make sure that's okay. But youneed to step back over here. Okay,
okay, okay. This is whatdrove me nuts about that video.
And you may have had the samereaction I did. Did he say that's
Scotty Scheffler. Did you hear himsay that at all? No? Can

(26:18):
somebody just please, for the loveof God's say, yeah, that's right?
What are you doing? I mean, what am I missing? Obviously
he didn't want to interfere and makeit look like he was on somebody's side,
right, Okay, but still thatmight be something those guys might want
to know. They probably may nothave made a difference. Maybe they would
have arrested the guy anyway. Ihave no idea. Maybe there's a quote

(26:41):
these guys had to meet. ButI'm listening, Dick to this entire video.
I'm thinking, did he ever tellthem who he was? Well,
I'll tell you what the video if. If I'm Scheffler's attorney, this video
helps me a lot more than ithurts me, because these guys sounded like
power hungry. Oh step back,I'm on arrest you too. I mean,
come on, guys. They soundedlike they were making a mountain over

(27:02):
there. Absolutely, there was noprofessionalism whatsoever. Speaking of his attorney,
Hey, Dick, did you happento hear that? What's that? What's
that? Dick? Scottie, Scheffler'sattorney with the media, Steve at Romines
at Valhalla this afternoon advice to youknow, go around and turn left into
the facility to come and you know, do his prep pre round preparation.

(27:25):
The officer who charged him obviously didn'tknow that, and so you know,
he he did what he was instructedto do, and you know, the
officer who arrested him didn't think hewas supposed to be doing that, and
so that's where the miscommunication occurred.Whether they were part of the same you
know, they were on radio togetherthe two officers, you know, as
to why they you know, didn'tbelieve he was allowed to do that or

(27:48):
whatever. He's in a mark markedcourtesy vehicle with his credentials out and did
what he was instructed to do.Is it possible that prosecutors may drop these
charges things? Sure, any talkswith prosecutors. I mean, obviously to
get his bond said, I've gotto talk to prosecutors. So yeah,

(28:08):
I mean, anything is possible.They'll either be dropped or we'll go to
trial because he didn't do anything wrong. So we're not interested in, you
know, any sort of settlement negotiationsor anything like that. Is he didn't
do anything wrong. It's it's itwas just a big miscommunication. But you
know, it was kind of aperfect storm of you know, circumstances that

(28:32):
the fatality was down the road,you know, and one thing needs to
be clear, he didn't drive throughany accident scene or or you know,
any investigation, none of none ofthat happened. That that kind of misinformation
is out there and that did notoccur. I don't know, man,
I I just think through all this, I think Scotti Scheffler looks incredible.

(28:52):
Did you see his reaction to thecops. He's like, hey, these
guys are doing their job. Irespect them. Whatever. He's walking off
the golf course today, Dick givenfist pumps to the cops that is working
the golf course this afternoon. Ithink he. I think Scotty Scheffler came
out of this with even more credthan he had this morning. And how
many guys get arrested and increased theirQ rating positively? Right? Right?

(29:15):
Yeah, I mean he was.He was talking to police officers after that.
If it's if this is me,I am getting back to my house
wherever I'm staying as quickly as possible. And he did the exact opposite.
He did a press conference. Yeah, he talked to the police, he
was signing autographs. I mean whatever. Like, can't handle a situation like

(29:41):
this any better than Scotty Scheffler handledthis, no question, Totally agree.
All right, Hey, Dick,did you happen to hear that last night?
After the Timberwolves actually sorry, Afterthe Timberwolves lost Game five for the
Nuggets on Tuesday, it was reportedthat Anthony Edwards total locker room stafford that
they would win Game six and beback in Denver for Game seven on Sunday.

(30:02):
Then, after the t Wolves wonyesterday, Edwards confirmed what happened at
the end of his post game presscofference. Did you really tell the locker
room staffer in Denver you were gonnabe back? Oh? Yeah, they
knowed I was in there. Yeah, I told him. I said,
I see him for Game seven.You gotta hear the unedited version. By

(30:25):
the way of that, I'm gonnasay this and you tell me if you
agree. If Anthony Edwards played forthe Lakers or the New York Knicks or
the Boston Celtics, he'd be thebest player in the NBA. He'd be
the most popular player in the NBA. There's no question about that. And
all he needs to do to bethe most popular player in the NBA now
is to go win a championship.They've got to go win a championship or

(30:47):
at the very least get to thefinals, because more people need to see
Anthony Edwards play in order to appreciatehow big of a star he is.
Denver led nine to two in thatgame day after three minutes we were watching
it during the show. Denver thenscored sixty one points the rest of the
way and we're out scored by fiftytwo from that point. For yeah,
it was unbelievable. Noug gets minusfour and a half in Game seven.

(31:10):
I think it's gonna be close.Yes, I think I like Denver to
win. But if you had to, if you had to put a gun
to my head, I mean Ithink it. I think Minisol will make
him sweat. I think they'll makehim sweat too, But I think the
Nuggets will win the game. Allright, Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that? Well?What's that? Dick? All right?
