I thought I'd watched Dart once 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: or twice. I think that the kiddies played him and 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: he looked like I like his attitude. I mean, he's 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: not very bright. He likes to put his head down 30 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: and like take on linebackers. Yes, he even said, yeah, 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: I like the contact. Well, when you're in high school 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and you're the best athlete in the state, that's one thing. 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: But when you're playing in the National Football League, kid, 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: you can't do that. 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: But hey, we won. Well, I don't know if our 36 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: quarterback stays any healthier than he does. But any word 37 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: yet on the hand in take an MRI. Yeah, because 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: they the X ray was negative. I heard right, It 39 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: took an X ray right away. It is a negative. Man. Oh, 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: by the way, well done on the montage. 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: Flow Rider, you say, and what's it called good feeling? 42 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 2: Good feeling? 43 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Good feeling by flow rid Is it possible flow Rider 44 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: might join Snoop. 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: Dogg on on Christmas Day? 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: Or that's not going to happen. I heard there might 47 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 1: be some other people though that show up. It could 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: be star studded. He's going to have some assistance. Have 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: they announced, because I thought I heard somewhere where it's 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: like it's not just going to be Snoop Dogg. There 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: might be a couple of other bigger names the performance. Yeah, 52 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: I've heard there's a couple of other names that might 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: join him on stage. 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: So it could be kind of Well, now that it's 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: a meaningless game between the vikings and lines, they got 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: to figure out a way to get as much a 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: die balls on it as they can. I would say 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: that they ringing. 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: I would say there's probably more anticipation for the halftime 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: show than the game itself, especially after you know what's 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: nice then you know how Mark Duncene, no, what was 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: Duncene's first name, Brian duncin And to Mark Rosen was 63 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: that warm, comfortable sweater that Lions lost last night? Was 64 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: just that now we're back to where we were, you 65 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: know we we know we label those in Detroit. What 66 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: was a phrase I came up with? Hold on, I 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: came up with a new phrase for this. Don't go there. 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: Only the Lions, that's it. Only the Lions lost, because 69 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: only the Lions lose games in that nature. When you 70 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: what is that old cliche when you snatch victory from 71 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: the jaws of defeat or whatever they say, or snatch 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: defeat from the jaws of victory. We snatched the feet 73 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: from the jaws of victory. First and goal from the one, 74 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: twenty two seconds to go. It's like it's over, twenty 75 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: five seconds whatever, it's over. 76 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: And then. 77 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: It was over all right, And you know what all 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: the calls were, I think correct. 79 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: I think to slaw. 80 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: On the on the first and goal from the one, 81 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: when they threw a tuddy to Monross Saint Brown, he 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: that was a pick. 83 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: Did you see the end of the game. Have you 84 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: seen the highlights of it? We were out on our 85 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: backyard rink at the time. Have you seen the highlights 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: of it? I saw the last one where. 87 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: They is is there in any world, in any football 88 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: game in the history of the world where that's not 89 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: forward progress has been stopped? And they were actually going 90 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 1: to give Detroit a touchdown on that. On the last 91 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: play they throw to mont Ross Saint Brown at the 92 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: goal line, he gets pushed back like ten yards. 93 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: He's being pushed back for like thirty seconds. 94 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: And then he just throws the ball in the air 95 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: and it goes to golf and they called it a touchdown. 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: He said in his forward progress and this is coming 97 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: from a Lions fan who had a vested interest in 98 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the game. 99 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: Well, that was. 100 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: That was forward progress stopped. They shouldn't even have to 101 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: use the penalty of the game was just over. They 102 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: could have just and it ended on the penalty because 103 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: and that was the right call of mon Ross. Saint 104 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: Brown pushed off on the on the defender. So and 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: then Tesla had it in his hands. He's made several 106 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: miracle grabs like that, and he had it in the 107 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: end of the t. 108 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: And then he had another one at the end of. 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: The game where he he in that you know that series, 110 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: the at the end of the game where he had 111 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: one in his hands and he and he and he 112 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: couldn't hang on to it. So and then you know, Tenneby, 113 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: let me say this, what was I gonna say? Oh, 114 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: as a Lions fan, you've grown accustomed to going forward 115 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: on every fourth down, no matter what fourth and one, 116 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: fourth and twenty and everything in between, right, and you 117 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: actually after why you kind of enjoyed it, especially when 118 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: it's been so successful, because you'll have fans. 119 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: Of other teams saying, boy, you guys could keep doing that. 120 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 2: It's goodnissing. Well, that's what we do. We're not afraid. 121 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Here's the when when Detroit was sitting on the Steelers 122 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: front porch, Pittsburgh was ransacking their house. 123 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: And heading out the back door. That was the only problem. 124 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: They were waiting out the front porch to know whatever 125 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: came out the front door because they went. 126 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: Out the back door with all the valuables. 127 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: If they go for a field their second possession of 128 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: the game, Pittsburgh's up three nothing, what do they do? 129 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 2: Fourth and goal from the three, they go for it. 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: They don't get it. Had they kicked the field goal 131 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: tend to be on that last drive, they'd have been 132 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: two points down instead of five. 133 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: They would have won the game. They would have kicked 134 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: a field goal. 135 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: And they asked one of the intrepid reporters asked Campbell 136 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: that and he just one word answer. He said, think 137 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: you would have I'd just like to kick that field 138 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: goal in that first position. Nope, he said no, And well, yeah, 139 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: you would have. 140 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: You wish you would have. 141 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: Now and you know, I again, you know, you still 142 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: live about the sword and dive of the sword, and 143 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed it. But when your offensive line isn't 144 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line you had the last two years, and 145 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: you've they've their percentage of making it on fourth down 146 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: is dropped dramatically this year, sometimes you got to just say, 147 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: you know what, it's not working like it used to anymore. 148 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't have the personnel on the offensive line. I'm 149 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: playing the third string center. Maybe I should kick the figure. 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: But you live and learn. 151 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: And it's another only the Lions kind of a loss. 152 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: And now what a. 153 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: Game on Christmas Day?

They're going to get that third. 157 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: Place schedule of vikings because the Lions are you know, 158 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings should be careful where the Lions at. 159 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: They're eight and seven. We have a chance to get 160 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: the third place schedule. What are we doing? They don't 161 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: know what they're doing. It makes no sense to me. 162 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about this. We'll talk about that. With 163 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: the emphasis on the ladd of so much more. The coach, 164 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: is that correct? He's not speaking today.

Ah, I don't know if I would necessarily 348 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: say the Giants tanked. It's too hard to tell because 349 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: they're that bad. Right, This game really wasn't any different 350 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: than most of the games they've played this year, And 351 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: I do believe tanking games can be very different, especially 352 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: players are generally speaking not going to there's nothing in 353 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: it for them. 354 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: If they tank, right, they just look bad. If they're 355 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: not trying hard, they. 356 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: Open themselves up and become susceptible to injuries. Right, if 357 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: you're tanking it, and then if you're especially if you 358 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: were a free agent to be or eventually will be 359 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: a free agent to be, if you're letting, if you're 360 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: letting the defensive lineman beat you on plays and crush 361 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: your quarterback and stop running backs, that's going to be 362 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: on tape and it's going to be difficult for your 363 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: representation to go to tennessee the general manager of the 364 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and say, well, he was doing that on 365 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: purpose because we were trying to tank. See that the 366 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: team was trying to tank, and they told him not 367 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: to try. 368 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 2: Very hard, and they'll go Sure, he was, Yeah, that's 369 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: exactly what happened there. 370 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: But you can still put your team into a position 371 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: to have a less likely chance to succeed. You play 372 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: backup players at certain positions. You do a very vanilla 373 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: offense or a defense you don't really you don't really 374 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: the coaching staff doesn't really try to go all out. 375 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 2: I think the way you can take the most is 376 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: and this guy's been playing beat up Christian Derris. Let's 377 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: shut you down for the season. You don't need to 378 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: play the rest of the way. 379 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: Correct, Uh, Josh Mattelis you need your shoulders bad? 380 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: Go ahead, your out? Who's the other defensive player? 381 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: Came out with the shoulder and then Gernard, Hey, you 382 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: know your shoulders bad? 383 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: Why don't you? 384 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: Why don't you come on out? So but but that 385 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: was the Giants. It did look like you could just tell, 386 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: but it seemed that the players just didn't have a 387 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: lot of enthusiasm. And I guess I can understand why. 388 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: But I have a talk back ten to be ready 389 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: for this. Yeah, talkback popped up. 390 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey comin, you're the cat guy here. I thought 391 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: i'd call in to just remind listeners what's going through 392 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: every Lions fans head at a time like this, Bear 393 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 2: down Chicago. 394 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: Bears always me always there are several teams I can 395 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: hop on the back, Bears being one of them. The 396 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams story is really good. You know, number one 397 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: overall pick two years ago, three years whatever. It was 398 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: his rookie year last se well in his rookie year 399 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: last season, Yeah it was. It was abysmal. He was 400 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: sacked I think more times. I don't think he was. 401 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: He was sacked more than any quarterback in a season 402 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: than any quarter of the history of the NFL. But 403 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: I think he was sacked sixty plus times last year. 404 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: Beat ill advised throws. 405 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: The Bears were terrible under Eberflus and they were terrible team, 406 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: terrible stity, terrible fan, terrible stadium. Hire a new coach, 407 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson comes in, and you know what the Bears did. 408 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: They went out and got a couple of new offensive linemen. 409 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: And guess what their offensive lineman played every game and 410 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: played really really well. Is it Tony or Thony and 411 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: then Jonah Jackson. Those guys have been really good on 412 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line. The offensive line. The additions on the 413 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: offensive line for us in free agency. 414 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: Not so much, right. 415 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: Though. The one thing about the Bears tend me arey 416 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: familiar with the Athletic the what Athletic is a online 417 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: sports Sports Sports is Your whole life just sports site 418 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: where they have really talented writers that cover all the 419 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: sports across the spectrum, and they're based in all sorts 420 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: of major metropolitan areas and write those games. A lot 421 00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: of them are Ducky and Buddy, not all of them, 422 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: but many of them are ducky and Bunny. And not 423 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: only they are ducky and Bunny, but they try to 424 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: write as if they were Hemingway right. They get a 425 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: little carried away with their pros. But this Bear's beat 426 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic Rights talking about the win over 427 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Green Bay, which. 428 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: Was as exciting as maybe the best. 429 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: Football game I've seen this year, and it said, add 430 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: this victory to previous. This is his last paragraph. Add 431 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: this victory to previous heart stopping come from behind wins 432 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: over the Radiators, the Commanders, the Bungles, the Giants, and 433 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings. 434 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 2: The victory gives the Bears. 435 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: A commanding advantage in the NFC North, a game and 436 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: a half ahead of the Packers, with two weeks or 437 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: many talk about a team who's greatest strength may indeed 438 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: just be its belief. 439 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 2: Because after the game they asked the same. 440 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: You're right after the game, whoever was the sideline reporter 441 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: for Fox asking the. 442 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: Questions, how did you guys do it? How do you send? 443 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: They always goes, we played in the last second till 444 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: the final goune, we believe in ourselves. 445 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah. 446 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: Do you know how they won that game? When Dobbs 447 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: couldn't recover it an on side kick or you know 448 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: what he could have done Tenneby, He could have just 449 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: knocked it out of bounds. 450 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: He was right on the sideline, just swatted it out 451 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: of bounce. He clearly heard footsteps because he started looking 452 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: up before the ball even hit his hands, so he 453 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: just watched the ball. 454 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: So he could have recovered it, or he could have 455 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: knocked it out of bounds. Either one that had nothing 456 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: to do with the Bears belief system. Had he recovered 457 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: that with their. 458 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: Belief system have won that that game? That's such a cloche. 459 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: And then and I know, writer guy for the Athletic, 460 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: it's you know, I'm sure he got goose bumps after 461 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: he finished his his long rambling story with talk about 462 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: a team who's greatest strength may indeed just be its belief. 463 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: Oh neal belief has not all teams believe in themselves, right? 464 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: They all think they all believe they're going to do 465 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: something and win football. Packers believed they were going to 466 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: win the game. That Troy thought they were going to 467 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: win the game. The Vikings thought they were going to 468 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: win the game. Ravens thought they they believed they were 469 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: gonna win Pittra. This is like, it's it's it's no. 470 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: They they took advantage of a terrible play by Dobbs, 471 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: and they played a good football Tenneby. I don't know. 472 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 2: My guess is Saturday night, you didn't watch a game. 473 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: I watched the dcent amount of that. There were two 474 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: really good games this week. 475 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: There was Seattle against the Rams and the Bears and Packers. 476 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 2: And you know which one I liked better? Well, one 477 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 2: reason was. 478 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: Because the Packers lost, But that was a defensive game, 479 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: frozen Tundra Wrigley Field. The whole thing that was that 480 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: was a really good game that there was some there 481 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: were moments of really good offense, but defense was kind 482 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: of the story in that game, and I just loved 483 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: the game. 484 00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: I thought it was so much fun. 485 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: Now the Seattle game with their with their brilliant comeback 486 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: against the Rams, that was really fun too. But I 487 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: think didn't Donald throw for like three hundred and fifty yards. 488 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: I think Stafford threw for over five hundred yards or 489 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: just shy at five hundred ad gets to be a Hey, 490 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: if you're a fantasy football person or you like offense, 491 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: you probably liked that game better. I like that Bears game, 492 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: but it's hard not to like the Bears for me. 493 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I know there are people, and we've talked 494 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: about this that if they are one of your rivals 495 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: in the NFC North, you cannot pull for that club. 496 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: I was actually believe it or not tend to be 497 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: because of the Lions. Path of least resistance would have 498 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: been the Bears losing that game. Degree, Yes, that was it, 499 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: because if they lost that game, then all Detroit had 500 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: to do was win their last three and they're in 501 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: because their last game of the season was against the Bears, 502 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: so they would have got in that now after the 503 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: Bears won, they would have had to have the Bears 504 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: loose to San Francisco, and then the Lioness would have 505 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: to beat them in this and that and the other thing. 506 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: But I can get behind the Bears, another team I like. 507 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: I like Seattle. I like Donald's story. I know there 508 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: are Viking fans here that because of what happened to 509 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: Donald and the Vikings against Detroit in the last game 510 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: of the regular season last year and then what happened 511 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: against the Rams, they don't like Sam Darnald. 512 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 2: They wish nothing but ill will on Sam Darnald. 513 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: They don't want to see Sam Donald have any success 514 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: at all. Mark Roseen, But I liked the Donald story, 515 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: the way he resurrected his career starting in San Francisco 516 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: where he got to go to a big game on 517 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: the bench, but he was in that quarterback room. And 518 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: I've already, on numerous occasions, have read you the quotes 519 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: from a story in which he talked about how much 520 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: Rock Perdy meant to his career. So that's another good 521 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: story that I like. There are several stories around another 522 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: one I love. It's hard for me to root for 523 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: any team based in Texas, but I liked the Houstons 524 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: or that's a team. 525 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: That started the season, I believe zero to three. 526 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the defense is their calling card and I 527 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: you know me in defense. So I could get behind 528 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. That's another team that's a lot of 529 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: fun to watch play football. So there are all sorts 530 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: of another story. You know, there was a time I 531 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: was tired of the Patriots dynasty. They have no dynasty anymore, right, 532 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: That dynasty is gone. Belichick's gone, Brady's gone. They've fallen 533 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: on hard times for the past what half a dozen years, 534 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: six seven years, whatever it's been, four or five, whatever 535 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: it's been. 536 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: Now they got the new quarterback. They're playing benefit thee. Yeah, there, 537 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: I like the eye. Coach coach coaches good that that's 538 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: it's a fun team to watch. 539 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: Old man Rivers. Now I think it's over for him. 540 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna They're still hanging by a 541 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: thread for postseason chances, right, but they're hanging by three 542 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: the Colts with old men. 543 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they need a lot of things to go their way. 544 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: But I can get by. They have to win the 545 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: night they're at San Francisco. I get I can get 546 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 2: behind that team. I'll be pulling for them to If 547 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: the Colts win the night, they have an eleven percent 548 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: chance of making the playoffs. If they lose, they have 549 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: a two percent chance of making the playoffs. 550 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so they're probably not gonna be But I can 551 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: get behind that team tonight if I watch the game tonight, 552 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: which is an if, but if I do, I'll be 553 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: pulling for Old Man Rivers. 554 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: I think it's a good story. I'm a storyline guy. 555 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: Once the teams that I really like to see win 556 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: Viking slash Lions, once they've been eliminated from from postseason 557 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: contention or from postseason play. Like I like stories of 558 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: other teams. I'm not living and dying by Sam Darnold 559 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: in the Seahawks, or Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, 560 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: or Old Man Rivers in the in the Indianapolis Colts, 561 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: or Daniil Hunter and the Houston Texans. But these are 562 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: teams that I can certainly. 563 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: Pull for. 564 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: I can't root for Green Bay. I'm not a Philadelphia 565 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: guy either. I think here with me on that right. 566 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I just can't can't chere for that. 567 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: I can't cheer for them San Diego. 568 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of teams I don't want here for. 569 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: San Diego doesn't do a lot for me. I like 570 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: Matty Stafford the Rams too. I still like Matty Stafford, 571 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: I do, but they won one recently. 572 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: I think you have our private chair for Stafford or Donald. Yeah, 573 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: I think. I think the Rams will be my squad 574 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: in the NC. For me, it's it's Bears or or Seattle. 575 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: And I'd love to see Donald in Seattle get to 576 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: a big game. Mark Craig wrote about it today. Mark 577 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: Craig writes for the Fisher Rap Factory West Side, he 578 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: is a he does a really good job, and he 579 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: he wrote, he does something called five extra points where 580 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: the day after the game and the Fisher Rap Factory 581 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: on the West Side five things that stick out to 582 00:29:53,360 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: him about what happened in each game, and one of 583 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: them is. 584 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: Put everything on the table. In twenty twenty six. 585 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: He says, my patience for preaching patients for McCarthy as 586 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: he develops on the field is gone because he can't 587 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: be trusted to stay on the field. I didn't object 588 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: to the Vikings not resigning Sam Donald last spring, too 589 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: expensive for a team with too many other holes caused 590 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: by weak drafting. But I overestimated McCarthy and underestimated Donald 591 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to Durability suffering the same kind of 592 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: pressure and big hits. Donald has started thirty three of 593 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: thirty three games, eighteen for the Vikings, which he went 594 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: fourteen and four fifteen for Seattle, which he's gone twelve 595 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: and three since the first of McCarthy's massively disappointing total 596 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: of four injuries. The Vikings shouldn't give up on McCarthy, 597 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: but they would be fools not to bring in someone 598 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: with experience and oh yeah, don't forget Durability to compete 599 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: with him for the starting job in twenty twelve. And 600 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: when Craig was writing that patient stuff, I was with 601 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: him to a certain extent. Almost felt like I know 602 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't talking to me, but it felt like it because. 603 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: It's a fine line. 604 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: How long do you stick with a quarterback before it's 605 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: time to fisher? 606 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's the old fisher cut bait. 607 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: Eventually, you know you either have to stick with him 608 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: and go through thick and thin, or you got to 609 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: let him go. And I certainly wasn't ready to let 610 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: him go. By the wayside, I for me just found 611 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: it confounding that they were ready to turn it over 612 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: to a guy that was coming off major reconstructive knee surgery, 613 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: hadn't played any meaningful minutes in a National Football League game, 614 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: a team coming off of fourteen to three record that 615 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: had went out and it doesn't look like their free 616 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: agent signings were the right guys, but they went out 617 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: to rebuild the middle of their offensive line of their 618 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: defensive line. That is a FORMU that spells we think 619 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: we can contend for a big game, and you're doing 620 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: it with a quarterback that we just laid it all 621 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: out with the experience and injury and all that, and 622 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: had obviously had no mechanics. I thought that was that 623 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: was being a little too full of yourselves over over 624 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: that Winter Park, thinking you could you could pull that 625 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: thing off. It's you read remember I read the quotes 626 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: from from Gannon when he said it was fool's goal. 627 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: He goes, you know what, and I saved the Gannon quotes. 628 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: I can pull him up again, and you know and 629 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: Gannon's not the final word. I get that none of 630 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: us are. But but but Gannon said, he goes, it's 631 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: too hard to play quarterback in this league. It's really 632 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: really hard for really experience that's why some of these 633 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: guys take a long time to figure things out, and 634 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: that's why you should have patients with McCarthy. 635 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: And he was younger than all the other quarterbacks being 636 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: drafted in that class exactly. 637 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: And so look the last two games, and even yesterday, 638 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy looked better. I mean look, Craig points this out 639 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: in his five extra points. Naylor dropped the ball, Addison 640 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: dropped the touchdown, I mean. 641 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: His, and both are massive plays. The Addison touch tell 642 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: Zach Naylor want turned into an interception well as as 643 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Craig points out, that's what it says ten to be. 644 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: Through eight passes, McCarthy had four completions for forty five yards, 645 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: no touchdowns, one interception, in a passer rating of twenty 646 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: seven point six. However, had Addison and Naylor done their jobs, 647 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: McCarthy would have been six for eight for seventy five 648 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: a tundy know interceptions at a one forty. 649 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: Three point two passer rating. 650 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: So two plays, two drops to massive mistakes made the 651 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks numbers appear to be yep, awful, and they and 652 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: they were awful when you take away those two plays. 653 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: But that's why I've always thought that statistics and analytics 654 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: and sabermetrics and all of those things can be overblown. 655 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: That's why when you watch. 656 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: A player in any sport, in any position, what do 657 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: you see when you watch them play? They seem to 658 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: have a firm grasp what they're doing to, They have talent, 659 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: have confidence. You can kind of some guys just ooze it, right, 660 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: He's got a ton of confidence. 661 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: He still has a chance to be a good quarterback. 662 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: He's been playing better, he was playing well in the game. Then, yes, 663 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: but to Craig's point, like this isn't just a one 664 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: injury thing anymore. No, so you can't you can't go 665 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: in the next season, go out. We got our guy 666 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 2: because one was was Still he's still gonna be limited 667 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 2: in experience going into next year. And then on top 668 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: of that the durability issue, where it's this the third injury, 669 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 2: now fourth injury. 670 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: He had the knee, the ankle, the concussion, and now 671 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: the hand. 672 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 2: That's four he said, four injuries, and you know the. 673 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: It's and then you got a guy like darn and 674 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: again some of us just lock Some guys, I don't 675 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: even know if it's I don't even necessarily know if 676 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: it's injury prone. Mahomes just tore up his knee. Took 677 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: him a lot longer to get there, but he tore 678 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: up his knee. Guys, right, I mean, it just it 679 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: just happens. Guys have sprained ankles, Guys have concussions. 680 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: You know. It's it's it's so. I don't know if 681 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: it's because he's injured or it has just been a. 682 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: Stretch of bad luck. I don't know how bad the 683 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: hand is. We'll find out. You said they're doing an MRI. Maybe, 684 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he plays this week or not. 685 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: He might be out for the season. They might just 686 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: shut him down and we'll see Max Brosman for two weeks. 687 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: But then, like you say, then he comes back and 688 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: we still have very little to go on. Right. 689 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: It's it's it's there. 690 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: There's not much there, and you know, and the and 691 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: we talked about this last week and we'll we'll talk 692 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: about it obviously, as as the kids say ad nauseam 693 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: as the off season goes by. But how much money 694 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings have committed for next year's roster, how many 695 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: of those players they probably really don't want want coming back? 696 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: They need to still rebuild the offensive line, Tendabye. What 697 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: about Darisol? I think it was I think shut him 698 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: down is the best thing to do, But I don't 699 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: know it is is is he going to be injury prone? 700 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: We need help at the center position. That there's there's 701 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: no question about that because Fries and probably never is 702 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: who's our center. 703 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: It's Fries Kelly Kelly. And you got another concussion? 704 00:35:59,600 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: Right? 705 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 2: Is that his sixth documented concussion and third this year. 706 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: He's got to quit, he does, God bless him, but 707 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 2: he's just got to get So we center. 708 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: And our guy O'Neill played injured all season long. He 709 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: toughed it out again yesterday and he was he had 710 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: bad footing to know. So this team has all sorts 711 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: of issues too, like like every team in the league does. 712 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 2: They all have issues. 713 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: But well, if you don't have that quarterback and so yeah, 714 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: and that's what's unfortunate about all the injuries is it's 715 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: it's it's limited the amount of playing time to actually 716 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: cast a judgment on them, right to say I think 717 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: this kid's got it, because they're all gonna have growing pains, 718 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: there's gonna be mistakes, there's gonna be great plays, a 719 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: little of everything. Every guy that's been a bust in 720 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: the NFL have had their moments. Right, If you give 721 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: a guy a year or two, he's gonna have some 722 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: moments where he looks really good, other moments where he 723 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: looks bad, and then eventually you have to make your 724 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: decision on whether he's he's good or you know, whether 725 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: you think he's your guy or not. But yeah, it's 726 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate because you want to have that guy. They've 727 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: invested a lot of effort and time into this kid, 728 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: and it's the jury still out. To use a Perry 729 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: Mason cliche, the jury is still out. 730 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 2: Well, the jury is still out. But you clearly can't 731 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: go into the next season with the same quarterback room 732 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 2: you had this season. Oh yes, you need to have 733 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: a better insurance policy, if not even competition for him. Yeah, 734 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 2: I mean I don't think you're anything. Yeah, I guess 735 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: it's possible, right, I mean, you know, the Wild went 736 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 2: out and swung bigging out of Quin Hughes. It's possible 737 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 2: you might swing big on a quarterback somewhere, right, like 738 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow apparently, and there might be some discontent in Cincinnati. 739 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to go to Kyler 740 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 2: Murray route or not if you're ready to move on 741 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 2: from JJ. But at the very least you need to 742 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 2: bring in some competition or a very solid insurance policy. 743 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: Yep. And I don't know what that insurance policy would 744 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: be either, not a lot of good back the guy. 745 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: That's what you're talking about Willis? 746 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 2: But is that what that is? That what that catchphrase 747 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: was from that dumb that's from different strokes. Yeah, yeah, 748 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 2: what you're talking about Willis? 749 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: What you're talking about was how about Willis? He was 750 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: is brilliant too strong. 751 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 2: Of a word. 752 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: I thought he was spectacle it coming off the bench, 753 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: not expecting to play, he goes there. He's not the 754 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: easiest conditions, and with everything that was at stake, he 755 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: played really well. That's a good backup quarterback to have, man, 756 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: if he's willing to be. And then he wondered, well, 757 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: the guys like that want to be backup? Is he 758 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 1: happy being a backup? 759 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: Now? 760 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: I mean he had his opportunities to be the guy, 761 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure right over the years and never did it. 762 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he couldn't saying with. 763 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: Donald, Donald had his chance two or three times to 764 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: be the guy and before he finally became the guy. 765 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: But I mean Malik Willis basically was an extremely good 766 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 2: athlete that was a was raw from a quarterback position standpoint, 767 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 2: and drafted I think second round by Tennessee. Okay, not 768 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 2: giving a ton of chances, but he got he got 769 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 2: some looks as a starter and for a year or 770 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 2: two there and you know, really couldn't pass the football there. Yeah, 771 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 2: so Green Bay traded for him, and in some moments 772 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: where he's had to come in spots, he's been all right, 773 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 2: he's been really good. Yeah, he's been pretty darn good. 774 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 2: So there you go. 775 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: I'll number one in the books. I'm going to guess 776 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: on your teas for five, three four it's gonna have 777 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: something to do with a winter sports team. Yeah, and 778 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: it's going to have something to do with a winter 779 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: sports team that's based in Saint Paul check and it's 780 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: going to be a a question based on what. 781 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 2: The heck happened big gametable. 782 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think it's the I think it is 783 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: the other than the Vikings is always on the station. 784 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 2: It's not really a question though, it's more of a statement, 785 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 2: and that is a local team ate some humble pie yesterday. 786 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: Well we'll do that with five, three four next on 787 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 2: the Fam
