Speaker 5: The other side of the room is not activating its microphone,

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,440

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: still doesn't quite know his strength and he squeezes too

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: hard and like little things pop in the back and

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:33,760

Speaker 2: We just all watched it.

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880

00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: superficial with that.

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're being duplicitous. There was some truth to that. Good,

00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 2: Charge man, It's so good to see you again. How

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: was so?

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: How was the turnout at the various feasts over the

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 5: course of a season that started inconsistently, got pretty bad

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: in the middle, and then finished strong with what five

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: wins in a row down to the stretch.

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say I was in an uptick

62
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 7: based off you're not being there.

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Button bar Wise the consistency would be defined like this.

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: But given it was Eric Nordquist's first opportunity to be

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: part of the feast on a weekly basis, why don't

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: you answer that question, mister Nordquist?

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 3: I was actually I was actually blown away by the turnout. Now,

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: I remember after a Thursday night game and it may

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: have been was it an amla or something like that? Yes,

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: I no, Pa, we did want at Station nineteen by

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: the College, no Greenway in the mix. It was a struggle, right,

72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: we never had that this year and that wastant. Whether

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: it's just people who had already planned their PTL, they're like,

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm getting drunk on a Friday one way or another,

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: and maybe in fact, with this quarterback situation, that's actually

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: going to couraged me to start drinking at eight am

77
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: on a Friday.

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: The crowds were awesome. There were a couple where it.

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: Got light, you know, come eleven am Black Friday at MLA,

80
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: people got stuff to do. So maybe it wasn't necessarily

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: shoulder to shoulder there, but in totality, man the roops.

82
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: The roops showed out in a big way in twenty twenty.

83
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: What happened to Black Friday and Blaine.

84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 5: We've done Black Friday Blaine for I don't know, over

85
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: a decade.

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: And that's a great question.

87
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: That was.

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 7: In high school playoff time because remember we were we

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 7: were hoping Blaine didn't have somebody in the playoffs anymore.

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, we went through that stretch. You know what, Well,

91
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: there are two things.

92
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: One, the crowds were substantial from the first one to

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: the last one, but near the end when there was

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: going to be no postseason, big crowds, but super mellow

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: and quiet and it wasn't the Friday, but barbies, everybody

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the pep rally feel diminished a little bit near the end.

97
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: But one thing that I think you'll greatly appreciate is

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: when we showed up at Buffalo Wild Wings, Lakeville, the Lake,

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: the Lakeville, South Lakeville, South Bend, Lakeville, South Bend. Yes,

100
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: showed up and then that's where were we Plymouth? Where

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: was that that was up in? That was in Blaine? Yeah,

102
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: the next one was in Blaine. So then it triggered

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: again where Blaine showed up the next week.

104
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, return of the bands the best and you were

105
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: there for those chats.

106
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: I was there for Lakeville. Was it for Blaine too? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely.

107
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll appreciate this two charts is we went to

108
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: Elk River and I think their high school team lost

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: in the playoffs after we pumped them up. Yeah, went

110
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: to Lakeville, got the band, everybody's they got wax.

111
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: It got to the.

112
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,160

Speaker 5: Man, it might it might be available free. That is

126
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 5: possible right there. They talk about geographically, it's a This

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: is an enormous state.

128
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: Utah is absolutely huge.

129
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: But they're also near Las Vegas, so they're they're breaking

130

Speaker 1: And what about Dixie College, one of the great junior

135
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: college football programs in the country.

136
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: My niece goes there. They had to change the name.

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: They did.

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: It's now Utah Tech because what's wrong with Dixie? No,

139
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 5: apparently it's it's racist. I was wondering, I assume, but

140
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna ask.

141
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: We have the Gophers basketball coach Nico medved joining about

142
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty minutes from now or so, so I was

143
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: trying to fly through this.

144
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: Here's it when I've asked about that, and they still

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: have a giant. The thing in Utah is every city

146
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: up on whatever mountain is near them, and the mountain

147
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: is near every city. They put a one letter, gigantic,

148
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: one letter on the side of the mountain, big white rock,

149
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: and it's got.

150
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: The big D.

151
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Wow, it's got the big D D.

152
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: So we're in Saint George and there's a big D

153
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: up on the mountain.

154
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: That's right, what's the big D? Invariably the answer is

155
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: a rolled.

156
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I like, yeah, they made us change it, all right, dude,

00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: It's number one rooting interest if you're in southern southern

162
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: Utah is.

163
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Vegas, Golden Alites.

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: Yea, So even with the mammoth related terrorism in the state,

165
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: even with mammoth, are making some inroads right now.

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 5: But Clayton Keller though, Yes, second would be the Raiders,

167
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: and then you've got BYU and and Utah Utah. Yeah, Utah,

168
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: So those would be your those are your sporting rooting interests.

169
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: That Jazz.

170
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: If I didn't know the Jazz had a team, really,

171
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: I would not know it, at least from what I see.

172
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 5: No talk about it, no buzz, nobody, nobody cares about jazz.

173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: Do you live in the same city where Charlie Kirk's

174
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: alleged murderer was apprehended nearby?

175
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: It's nearby, right? Yeah? Is the whole thing a massive

176
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 2: story out there still? Or did it? Kind of? Babe?

177
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: Now it's it's faded pretty much. I don't think that

178
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: guy was one of us. I don't think he was

179
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: a Utah. I think he had just flown in for

180
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: the opportunity.

181
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: What do you make? What do you miss about living here? People?

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: All my friends, the ready, the ready, my one and

183
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 5: a half paid friends, paid acquaintances, the ready. Availability of

184
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 5: concerts has really that has?

185
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: You know? We I would go to a concert every

186
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: three or four weeks. How far is Denver.

187
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: Driving? It's about six seven hours? Yeah, saw Lake Cities

188
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: four and a half, so you're far from Red Rocks.

189
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 5: I am about seven hours.

190
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: Now, and which is too bad because obviously Red Rocks

191
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: is amazing.

192
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 5: What I didn't know I thought every band went through Vegas,

193
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: so I'm like, I'll see all my vands.

194
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: Vegas is two hours for me, I'll see all my

195
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: bands in Vegas. That's a badass, right right, you know,

196
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: And I get.

197
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 5: To go to I get to go to Vegas. I'll

198
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: see my vans ready, availability of hotel rooms.

199
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be great. Not every band goes to Vegas.

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: It's weird. They don't have the they're out there for,

201
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: you know, staying there for a month.

202
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 7: Yes, it's one thing if you have residency, right still,

203
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 7: like host concerts.

204
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: They don't as much.

205
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 5: If you're the Eagles playing the Sphere, that's great, you know.

206
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: If I want to go see the Eagles in the Sphere, fantastic.

207
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 5: But I want to see the kinds of bands that

208
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: come through Sonya Grover's first avenue here, like you know,

209
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 5: they're going to put in a thousand people. There's just

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: not venues in Vegas for that. And so the bands

211
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 5: that I go see, I don't. They don't hit Vegas

212
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: a lot of the time. It's importantly what's the weather

213
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 5: like right now? That's what we really care about.

214
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: It's sick.

215
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: I have to this point of the year. I wore

216
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 5: a vest once. You would that's it shirtless underneath.

217
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: You got that.

218
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: If you can't live a virgin Utah.

219
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going we go commando. Yeah, you're not escaping

220
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: the allegations. I have a feeling strays are going to

221
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: be caught here. But nevertheless, I'm going to throw it

222
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: out there with the Gophers basketball coach Nico Medved joining

223
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: us now about fifteen minutes from now. The twenty twenty

224
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: five Viking season finishing at nine to eight, with everything

225
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: that's transpiring after the season, involving a certain defensive coordinator

226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: and so on and so on, what'd you think what

227
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: you're hearing might as well unfurlsome takes?

228
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: Well.

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: Going into the season, we all hoped for wins first

230
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: and foremost, right, we want to get to get wins.

231
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 5: They got nine, which you know, at one point nine

232
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 5: seemed to possible. So yeah, I feel like the nine wins,

233
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: you know, not too bad missed opportunity considering how good

234
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: the defense ended up being throughout the season, that the

235
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: offense couldn't have their their half of this thing. You know,

236
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 5: I think NFL average quarterbacking over the whole season would

237
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: have put this team not on nine wins, but on

238
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 5: more like twelve wins. Then you now, the Vikings are

239
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: hosting a playoff game, and so I feel like there

240
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: was some missed opportunity there and unfortunately we don't. Mission

241
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 5: Number two for the season was to walk out of

242
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: this year with a pretty good understanding of whether or

243
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 5: not you have the coach the quarterback of the future,

244
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: and we still don't know, and that that part is frustrating.

245
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Fair Yeah, I.

246
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 7: Think when you look back at the season, how the

247
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 7: flow of the season and the energy within the team

248
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 7: and the wins and losses is the biggest issue I saw.

249
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: The front end of this thing was just the injuries

250
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: they dealt with.

251
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 7: Then they could not get their footing on who they

252
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 7: really were and what type of team we were getting

253
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 7: this jackal and hide week after week of We're gonna

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 7: go have a really good game at Detroit and we're

255
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 7: come back in Lanegg, We're gonna have a really good

256
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 7: started Chicago, to come back.

257
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: Against the Falcons in Lane Egg.

258
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 7: You have these opportunities that we just let down, and

259
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 7: in those games you have key players in some games

260
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,239
Speaker 7: defensively that we missed. There were huge playmakers that solidified

261
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 7: this this last month of the season and why we

262
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 7: got kind of our footing and got some wins.

263
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: But offensively obviously.

264
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 7: Just more consistency from the quarterback spot, and just in

265
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 7: general as a scheme, we just couldn't find it. And

266
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 7: a lot of that, to me, started with injuries. But

267
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 7: obviously quarterback players are part of that.

268
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 5: The injuries on the offensive line we're really detrimental to

269
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 5: trying to figure out what Aj McCarthy has.

270
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: I just saw a stat yesterday.

271
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 5: Vikings gave up the second most quarterback pressures on the interior,

272
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: so guard center guard Vikings gave up the second most pressures,

273
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 5: and you got a young kid trying to learn the game.

274
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 5: You know, it really made you know, those injuries made

275
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 5: it hard and crazy. Last off season made efforts. We

276
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: got real efforts to try to get this line better

277
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: and deeper, and it was a mixed bag at best,

278
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: in no small part because of those injuries.

279
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: Even though you know this, I'm going to present it

280
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: to you and see where your learned mind goes. Two

281
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: of our former Combine interviews from days gone by, Kevin

282
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: Stefanski and John Harbaugh, both out of work right now.

283
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Harbosstafanski looking for work.

284
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: Do you remember when we talked to John Harbaugh at

285
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: the Combine for like twenty five minutes was unbelievable.

286
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: You you that was concourse days of Lucas that was

287
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: on the cut.

288
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right. Ester to us, I thought that

289
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: might have been. Were you there?

290
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: Order?

291
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: Was that the Joe Nelson era? I was there?

292
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so we're on the concourse of Lucas Oil

293
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: back when you could be on the concourse at Lucas

294
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 5: Oil for the combine when it was small enough that

295
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 5: there were only six stations Max doing the combine and

296
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: Paul being the aggressive, outgoing man that he walks, he

297
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: would just go flag down people. You know, he'd just

298
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: you know, we'd be on a commercial break and he

299
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 5: would just go flag down. Somebody try to find people.

300
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: Get eight no's.

301
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: But when you get John Harbaugh's rather the two yeses

302
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: double you.

303
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: So Harba's just walking by, Paul just grabs him. They

304
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: don't have a relationship at this at this stage, and.

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: I'm not a leverage Matt Burg.

306
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 7: Now you own a horse together, you may in that equation.

307
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 5: And we talked to Harbaugh for it was a long segment.

308
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: By the time we're done, and I know you're going

309
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 5: to understand this, Chad. Some coach just got it and

310
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: we're just chatting with Harbor.

311
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: He's not in coach mode.

312
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 5: But by the end of this thing, I'm ready to

313
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: run through a wall for John Harbaugh. He's just the

314
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: leadership on him just poured out.

315
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: Of him like no other interview he does. He can't

316
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: help it. He can't help it.

317
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's just always in coach mode. The most shocking

318
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 7: I think move in the NFL this year is John

319
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 7: Harbor is stepped away and like, don't know what you

320
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 7: have until it's gone typessodically and now like you set

321
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 7: your organization up for just we don't know what we

322
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 7: have when before we knew what we had for what

323
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 7: fIF seventeen years something like that.

324
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: Something crazy, Ye, unbelievable. I think they're going to regret this.

325
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 5: The odds of the Ravens getting somebody better than John

326
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: Harbaugh is like five percent ten percent, So that.

327
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 7: In that decision room, what are they talking about. We

328
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 7: just haven't gotten to the super Bowl enough with you know,

329
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 7: black to back back to back playoffs or back to

330
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 7: back tough losses to not make the playoffs.

331
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: No, I think I think it's the old goes before

332
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: the Fall thing with somebody here and It could be

333
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: John Harbam or it could be the Scottie Bashatti, the owner,

334
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: could be it's somebody did I believe didn't like Harbaugh

335
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: saying here's the deal, did you miss all these injuries

336
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: we had this year. I'm keeping all of these coaches

337
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: because I know they're good, and somebody's like, well, this

338
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: one and this one we'd prefer to move on as

339
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: an organization. And then I'm feeling John's kind of like, well,

340
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: if you move on from them, you're going to move

341
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: on from me, thinking that they wouldn't call us buff,

342
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't call it, and they did, and like the

343
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Ravens put out a bit saying, you know, basically, Harbaugh's fired.

344
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: Then Harball put out a release just you know, effusively

345
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: praising Baltimore in his time there.

346
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: But when I when I.

347
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Read the Ravens release, I'm like, wow, I mean, unless

348
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: there's some off the field in house, in subordination nobody

349
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: knows about, or something that that's avert, I mean, somebody

350
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: who brought you a Super Bowl and gave you all

351
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: those wonderful years close to two decades that that you're

352
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: phrasing it this way.

353
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: So something got ugly at that two things.

354
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 5: The believed fracture is between the offensive coordinator Todd Munkin

355
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: and Lamar Jackson, and it came down with Lamar JACKSONVISI belief.

356
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: And this is not known. This is just you know,

357
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: the this is just a rumor mill stuff. And now

358
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: we got Now we got high.

359
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: End media guys battling each other on social media where Rappaport,

360
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: rap Aport went down the road of what Church is saying.

361
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: Schefter came over the top yesterday and he's like, look,

362
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: I mean there was no internal friction or something. So

363
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: now it's remember that fight in the Starbucks line at

364
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: the combine.

365
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: Jordan Schultz or something like that.

366
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: It's happening on social media right now, Rappaport, you can

367
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: fit him in a carry on.

368
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 5: I mean, now, the best available job by a mile

369
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 5: is Baltimore.

370
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: So we're gonna find out. I think so that it's

371
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: not close. Really, I like, I like the Giants. When

372
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: we get into this, I have the.

373
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: Giants number two. Second available job Baltimore number one. So

374
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 5: if Kevin Stefanski is the best non Harbaugh available, does

375
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: he land in Baltimore? Will you walk in with the

376
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: best quarterback he's ever had the ability to coach.

377
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: And if you're Kevin Stefanski, you know you've.

378
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 5: Been laboring with horrible quarterbackings since Baker Mayfield, which he

379
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 5: had and he should have probably got more out of.

380
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: But since then it's been all bad quarterbacks, a series

381
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 5: of them, including Deshaun Watson diseased. And if Stefanski is

382
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: in fact the second best hire out there, with Harbaugh

383
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 5: being first, he won't go to to Balton Baltimore. I

384
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 5: hope Kevin lands in Baltimore. We all know Kevin Stefanski,

385
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 5: We adore that guy.

386
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Harbaugh lands in Cleveland, that.

387
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: AFC North.

388
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 7: Wouldn't that be something I think that when you look

389
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 7: at when coaches get fired, there's a perception of them

390
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 7: in the now, in the in the marketplace, right of rehired.

391
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 7: Like you just said, I'm so happy because I remember

392
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 7: talking to Kevin, I know we all did when he

393
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 7: took that Cleveland job. In some ways, when that's the

394
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 7: opportunity you go get as your first head coaching job,

395
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 7: it can send you different directions. If you can survive

396
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 7: there and do well there and kind of become that

397
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 7: beloved figure in that gritty town. You can come out

398
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 7: of that thing even if you don't make it for

399
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 7: twenty years as Hey, I'm going to get the next

400
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 7: best job, and I'll get a situation where my personnel

401
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 7: might be better in a situation may be better and

402
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 7: more stability an organization.

403
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: And I love that.

404
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 7: In the national media and us certainly locally who know him,

405
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 7: he's perceived that way because sometimes you can go in

406
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 7: there and get that job and be there for three

407
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 7: and in your career is over and all of a

408
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 7: sudden you're back to being a OC the rest of

409
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 7: your life.

410
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: Do we have any b flow predictions? I have and

411
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: am seeking no steam with this one. Leeber yesterday said

412
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: nine to noon he liked Flores chances to become the

413
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Personally, I

414
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: again steam free. I think he gets a new deal here.

415
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: What's interesting to me is there has not been a

416
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: Minnesota Viking season closing press conference. And you know here

417
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: the season closes on a Sunday. Here we are on

418
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: a Friday, feasting with Birchie. Birchie generally speaking with the

419
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: head coach and the general manager. Somewhere within that week

420
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: after the season, there's a season closing pressure. We haven't

421
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: had one yet. I would fully anticipate one early next week.

422
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: I just wonder what everybody's waiting for here. So I'm

423
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: just b Flow predictions up in this thing.

424
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 5: Well, can I ask you, guys, because you've been closer

425
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 5: to this this year than me, how did Flores end

426
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 5: up coaching on the last year of his deal? It

427
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 5: does not happen very often most of the time. If

428
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: you are a coordinator in good standing and your coach,

429
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 5: your head coach gets an extension, your assistants go with you.

430
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 5: Did Flores reject contract opportunities extension opportunities because you want

431
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 5: to bet himself?

432
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: Or was it the other way around? Now it's the belief.

433
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: The former of what you said is what the reported

434
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: belief is.

435
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think when you think at B Flow specifically,

436
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 7: first of all, spokes him a few times.

437
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: Love that guy, the players love.

438
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 7: Playing for him would be a massive loss for us,

439
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 7: and I just don't. I don't see him going lateral

440
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 7: in like I'm going to pay you more to be

441
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 7: my DC over here in the situation, he's got the

442
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 7: personnel is in place for him to do really good

443
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 7: he's just proven that. I think the thing the inter

444
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 7: line issue is we all know of is the lawsuit

445
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 7: in the NFL, and where do these owners lie within

446
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 7: that decision making base of NFL coaches who are essentially

447
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 7: being sue or going after from b flow, Right, That's

448
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 7: got to play a part in this in some capacity.

449
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 7: So when you talk about the openings and those those

450
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 7: owners who are essentially running the NFL, how do they

451
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 7: sit with that decision? And as we all know, some

452
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 7: owners are definitely more impactful than others when it comes

453
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 7: down to that, so some of these jobs are probably

454
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 7: non negotiables.

455
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: So he won't get that. Well, see that. That's why

456
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: the common thread.

457
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: For me here has been there three okay, the Rooney family,

458
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and Mark Davis. Those three. I mean it's

459
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: like busting through a saloon passage and into the of

460
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: that thing Bull Boys Club, right, So I mean, if

461
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: they want something, they'll get it. They won't care about

462
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: what's happening happening from an ancillary standpoint until they play

463
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: three consecutive games next year in average fifteen and a

464
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: half penalties called against MIA and then all of a

465
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: sudden might want to rethink that thing.

466
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, two more things on Flores.

467
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Why do we have Trey Blake and every single game

468
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: we're playing this year?

469
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: It didn's awful. When he was aad coach to Miami,

470
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: he did not ingratiate himself to his staff and players,

471
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: and that stuff travels and that I think that's working

472
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: against Brian, and that's something you would learn from, presumably,

473
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: I think, and do a better job. Can I ask you.

474
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: I don't mean to clomp, because I like where you're

475
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: going with it in totality, but do we believe that

476
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: outside of like the Tua audio, because as more time

477
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: has passed, I mean, Tua, you know, complaining and laying

478
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: every bit of blame for all of his inadequacies in

479
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: the league at the doorstep of Flores seems so easy

480
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: once he's out the door, and then there's there's shrouded

481
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: controversy surrounding him. And meanwhile, we've watched Tua continue to

482
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 3: languish to the point where they want to kick him

483
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: out of Miami. So I don't look at Tua as

484
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: being a truly credible witness as to whatever issues there

485
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 3: was with Brian.

486
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a very fair point and I think

487
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I think with with Brian and his direct nature. Brian's

488
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: a very direct person, more so behind the scenes than

489
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: maybe what we get publicly. I think people would be

490
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: foolish to think everybody playing defensively gets along with each

491
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: other with Brian.

492
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: Likewise, for coaches too, I would imagine.

493
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying, you know, there was a

494
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: defensive line coach, Chris Rump who left the team last

495
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: year and went to Georgia. I don't exactly know what

496
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: went into that. He has a right to do that.

497
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he got more money, more opportunity, I don't know,

498
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: but he left. I think you got the DC job

499
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: and it was either I think maybe Clemson. Yeah, it

500
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: might have been Clemson. Yeah, But it's it's I mean,

501
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: when when you when you are in Chad would know

502
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: more about this than me. When you're in close quarters

503
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: with people that long and you're having problems during the.

504
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: Season, you know, you're you're you.

505
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: Can't get things going, then you get going, then eventually

506
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: you win a bunch at the end. It's it can

507
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: be an intense it can be a tense situation.

508
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 7: I think I think another way to look at this,

509
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 7: it's part of a bigger picture of hiring head coaches

510
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 7: and their relationship with the quarterback, which is the most

511
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 7: important position in the team. So if you have a

512
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 7: defensive coordinatorho's very direct and he coaches his players directly,

513
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 7: and he's gonna be very honest with you and upfront

514
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 7: and direct, some young quarterbacks aren't going to take that

515
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: very well.

516
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm not saying too us.

517
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 7: Ben cottle he played in a really tough system with

518
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 7: really tough coaches. But when he's a young back who

519
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 7: has an OC who might be protecting him or give

520
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 7: me the hug saying hey, we got to do it

521
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 7: this way, it may not be a great way to

522
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 7: have that relationship be built. Now there's a bigger argument

523
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 7: to say, that's why defensive coordinators when you are dealing

524
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 7: with that big of a position at quarterback, or or

525
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 7: maybe not as good of a fit as head coaches,

526
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 7: maybe an offensive guy.

527
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 5: Well, okay, now I'm gonna I'm gonna box you guys

528
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 5: up because I think everything you said is fair. But

529
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: two days ago will be the judgment. I be loved

530
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: Stu Beard, didn't he a yeah? Might beloved ste Beard.

531
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: Ryan Fitzpatrick lay quarterback in his thirteenth year with Brian

532
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 5: Flores in Miami, came out and said, I'm paraphrasing players

533
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 5: coaches did not like him.

534
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: Well, but what's interesting is if the only reason Harrison

535
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Smith returned for twenty twenty five was Brian Flores. Yeah,

536
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: starts giving me my point. Yeah, I can find a

537
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: handful of players. Well, I mean it is you like

538
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: Zimmer though too, didn't he It's a it's a markedly

539
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: deeper conversation, and that involves preparation for games. Consistency with

540
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: your preparation, Arison Smith. That's some interesting things to say

541
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: at the end of the year about about you know,

542
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: what he really enjoys about playing and the people around him.

543
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: You know, when they're up to speed with the plan,

544
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: when they know exactly what's going on. And there are

545
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: some things if you read back at the transcript you

546
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: can read between the lines a little bit that this

547
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: is hard to learn. Uh, it's difficult, it's different, and

548
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: not everybody was completely up to speed with it. But

549
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: when they are, you really learn to appreciate that band

550
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: of brothers, and the leader would would be Brian well, and.

551
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: Brian has the right to get better from when you

552
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: was the coach in Miami. You learn from that and

553
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 5: you can be a better coach. Doubt you know later

554
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 5: in your career and learn from those mistakes.

555
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 7: Oh and you when you're when you have a depensive corner.

556
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 7: The head coach Frasier Zimmer for me and then showed

557
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 7: us on the other side my first my first five years. Yeah,

558
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 7: like I've seen him in the team meeting room. I'm

559
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 7: seeing him speak for ten to fifteen minutes, talk about

560
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 7: the game plan, what we have to do, go on

561
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 7: the road, et cetera. I don't talk to him again, Yeah,

562
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 7: like I don't talk to him practice. He might say something,

563
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 7: he might say you might see something right, But you know,

564
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 7: defensive corters making the play in practice like we're making

565
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 7: we're playing, We're talking to our linebacker coaches, we're talking

566
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 7: to the defensive coordinator. We don't talk to him on

567
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 7: a play to play basis, like we see him in

568
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: parts throughout the now. Again, not every organization is the same.

569
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 7: But my point is is if you're only getting him

570
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 7: in spurts, and you're getting this directness or this maybe

571
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 7: this brashness that maybe you're not used to, you may

572
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 7: have a different opinion than the others that are sitting

573
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 7: in the room that are also half the team. So

574
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: I mean that's that's where you can have maybe a

575
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 7: Harrison Smith say one thing and a Fitzpatrick say something different.

576
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna pause now and we're gonna say

577
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: goodbye to Chad anything with a great doct vodka in

578
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,360

Speaker 1: and well reported stories.

605
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: At the Athletic and Theathletic dot.

606
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Com lately about postseason Minnesota Vikings festivities, and those are

607
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: some topics into which the feast will dive. Nico Medved,

608
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: coach of the Golden Gophers basketball team, should be joining

609
00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: us shortly. Eventually we're going to rank NFL coaching vacancies, and.

610
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: Wait, do you have Baltimore number one? Nordo, I put

611
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: Baltimore number one.

612
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I put the Giants number one, And I can't

613
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: seem to get to any traction with the elite football

614
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: minds of Green with me on that.

615
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Well, I'm excited to maybe talk in more detail, but

616
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: until mister Medved, until we get him on the line,

617
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: I wonder, are you thinking about the Giants in the

618
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: context of Stefanski specifically coaching. Do you truly believe that

619
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: the upside of a Jackson Dart in the long term

620
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: is is the better option?

621
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Well, the Ravens have a markedly older roster now I

622
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: get Derek Henry, and personally speaking, until Lamar Jackson succeeds

623
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: through the postseason the way Joe Flacco has, I can't

624
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: say that that Lamar Jackson is the greatest quarterback that

625
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has had since he's been coaching the Baltimore Ravens.

626
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: But it's a Friday into a Super wild Card weekend,

627
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: so I don't feel like arguing when the co host

628
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: returns to the equation. But I guess I could go

629
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: either way on it. I like the Giants of a

630
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: younger roster quarterbacks, Okay, I like Skataboo. I like dartwit Skataboo,

631
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: I like Malik, I like Abdual Carter, I like Brian Burns.

632
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: I like those draft picks they have, and we also

633
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: like the Golden Gophers basketball team. Where the Golden Gophers

634
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: basketball team hosts USC to night at the Barn and

635
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: the game is on the fan at seven thirty Gophers

636
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: and USC Trojan seven thirty KFAM. The Gophers beat Iowa

637
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Tuesday night in a spine Tingler So that's five in

638
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: a row for Minnesota, which is three and one in

639
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. And joining us now is the head

640
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: coach of the team. It is Nico medved Nico, I'm

641
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: Paul Allen. Very nice to meet you, and congrats on

642
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: the fast start.

Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for having me, Pa. I'm a diehard fan

644
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: of yours too. I grew up watching the Vikings.

645
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: It's great to be on Holy Cow.

646
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: I know you went to Roseville High School, but but

647
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: so even when you went out to like Drake and

648
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: other places Colorado State, still a Vikings fan through through

649
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: all the tumult.

650
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you kidding me? And I got to

651
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 4: deal with all these you know, you got guys that

652
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: are Packers fans on these various teams. It's a tough existence, right,

653
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 4: you know. But man, I'm a I'm a huge Vikings guy.

654
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: I was. I was at the game the Gary Anderson

655
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 4: miss field goal. Oh yeah, it's a it's a big deal.

656
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 4: And I'm a huge KOC guy. I think he's just

657
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: a stud.

658
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for the nice words, and that's really cool

659
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: to hear. And so you're scarred like the rest of us.

660
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean you're from Minnesota, amen, I moved here full time.

661
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: In ninety eight.

662
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: But we're I mean, in a roundabout way, we're all

663
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of scarred in this covenant the same way. Just

664
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: waiting for the team to advance through the postseason. Give

665
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: us another Super Bowl shot.

666
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: Right, It'll happen, man, at some point, it's bound to

667
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: happened for the Chicago Cubs, it'll happen for the Viking.

668
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: So those listening secure some tickets to tonight's game and

669
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: go for sports dot Com. And I bring that up

670
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: because I sent Nico wants people to come from far

671
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: and wide to watch the team. Uh, given you credited

672
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: the Barn crowd for helping with that victory over the Hawkeyes,

673
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: is that accurate, Nico?

674
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know absolutely. I grew up here. I was

675
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 4: grew up going to the games. O would say. I

676
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 4: worked for started watching the team when Clem came and

677
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 4: I ended up working for Clem and I remember growing

678
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: up in the Barn. I mean after the Vikings, it

679
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: was the second toughest ticket in town, and just a

680
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 4: great home court. It's a great place to play when

681
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: there's energy in there. And so yeah, I mean we

682
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 4: really felt it, you know. I think a home game

683
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 4: against Indiana you started to feel it. I thought we

684
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: had a really good crowd the other night. I thought

685
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 4: they really helped us and we needed to keep coming out.

686
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: So we got a great opportunity tonight here against us.

687
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: The seven guys who got playing are given us everything

688
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: they've got, and it's been a good brand of basketball

689
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 4: so far.

690
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: The Denver native and Northern Colorado transfer Langston Reynolds, now

691
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Nico's Colorado State team played Langston a couple of years ago,

692
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: and in the Minnesota wins against a couple of ranked teams,

693
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: Reynolds scored thirty nine points and in his last two

694
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: he has seventeen assists. Has Langston been on your radar

695
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: for quite some time?

696
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: Coach?

697
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: You know, obviously he's a guy we were familiar with.

698
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 4: You know, we're just down the road from Northern Colorado.

699
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 4: Like you said, we played against them and know they're

700
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: coaching staff really well. Is a guy that just really

701
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 4: came on to his own and he's a unique player.

702
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 4: I mean, he has been really good defensively, he's athletic,

703
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 4: he gets downhill, he gets fouled, and he's just done

704
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: an unbelievable job in our system of finding guys. It's

705
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 4: really the assist, creates a lot of shots for others,

706
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: gets to the free throw line, and he's kind of

707
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 4: a difficult matchup. So yeah, he's been coming on like

708
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: like gamebusters here, and yeah, it's not just the talent,

709
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: but he's our type of guy. So he's a great

710
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: kid and he's making the most of the situation here

711
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: in his last year in the Big Ten.

712
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: The producer Nordo would like to get into the equation Eric.

713
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, nice, nice to meet you, coach, and thanks for

714
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: your time here this morning. But you know just what

715
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 3: has impressed me, of course, your first campaign here now

716
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: is as head coach of the Gophers operation a lot

717
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 3: of new faces. I think just one or two players

718
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: were on the team a year ago, so we're trying

719
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 3: to mix personalities and players and skills. But losing Chauncey

720
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 3: willis losing Robert Viola and then finding your way through

721
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 3: with guys like Jalen Crocker Johnson you know him well,

722
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: of course, but cade Tyson and his scoring, just the

723
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: mentality of this group and so many new faces, but

724
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 3: finding ways for them to have success while missing a

725
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: couple of guys you intended to lean a lot on.

726
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a cool group. You know, it's kind

727
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 4: of a data of college sports right now, especially when

728
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 4: you come over and take over a program with this,

729
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 4: you're kind of starting over. I give these guys a

730
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: lot of credit, my staff a lot of credit. You know,

731
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 4: we get really good group of guys. They're great human beings.

732
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we're pretty transparent on what we

733
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 4: expect when the guys get here, and kind of from

734
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 4: day one it hasn't been perfect, but I think they've

735
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 4: really bought into to be an unselfish and I think

736
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 4: we are number one in the country and assist the

737
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: field goals made. That stuff's really kind of carried us through,

738
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 4: and I think as they started to have some success,

739
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: they've kind of leaned into the way that I think

740
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 4: we need to play to be successful. And I think

741
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: they all really get along off the court, and they're

742
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 4: a great group to be around every day. So it

743
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 4: doesn't always happen like that, but again, I think we've

744
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: been pretty intentional about bringing the right kinds of guys here,

745
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 4: and so far it's been it's been pretty oftome.

746
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: Nico Medved, coach of the Golden Gophers Basketball nine to now.

747
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: The teams won five in a row, three and one

748
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. Chance to be four and one

749
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: after this evening playing of the USC Trojans seven thirty

750
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: at the Barn Games on KFAM. Mike grim On lead

751
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: vocals at seven thirty, and you can get tickets to

752
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: go for sports dot Com coach being and you know,

753
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: I may be stretching this a little bit, but being

754
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: a Roseville High School graduate and being back here and

755
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: getting this thing back on its feet, I mean that

756
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: might have some dream come true to it for you right.

757
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, I don't really think it's even even hit

758
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: me yet. You know, it's a dream scenario to come

759
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 4: back here and have an opportunity to be the be

760
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 4: the head coach here. And I think you know, the

761
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 4: vision I have for the program is big. I think

762
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: basketball matters here in the Twin Cities. I mean, it's

763
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: been awesome to see what the what the Timberwolves have done.

764
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 4: But again, I was here when this, when this thing

765
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 4: was humming, and I think there's a great culture, it's

766
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 4: a great sports basketball town, and I think we're just

767
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 4: we're right there. If we can develop some sustained success

768
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: and get some people behind us, I think this thing

769
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: can really take off. And yeah, it is like a

770
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 4: dream come true to have the opportunity. I pinch myself

771
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: every day every game I coach. I look up there

772
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 4: right before tip and I'm like, you kid me, they

773
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: pay me to do this, you know, with everything else

774
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: going on in our world right now, I'm a pretty

775
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 4: lucky guy. So I don't take it for granted and

776
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 4: put everything we have into this and really try to

777
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: get this thing going.

778
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: Hey, coach, in terms of moving from Colorado State now

779
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: to Minnesota and getting this thing going, what are you learning,

780
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: if anything, not that you're new to the sport or

781
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 3: even you're certainly locked in on what the Big Ten is,

782
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 3: what it represents and maybe a different style of game,

783
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: But now that you're in it and you're coaching against it,

784
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 3: is there anything that you're learning in terms of how

785
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: my group stacks up? And maybe certain things moving forward

786
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: that either work or don't work against some of the

787
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: trees in this Big conference.

788
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's just unforgiving. I mean, I think

789
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 4: the Big Ten is the best league in the country,

790
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 4: especially this year. You look at the depths and the teams,

791
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 4: the coaches, the programs. I mean, it's every night out

792
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: is just a dog fight. And so I think we're

793
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 4: continuing to learn. You know that some of the things

794
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 4: we do, I think can be really successful in the

795
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: Big Ten. You know, what are the things we have

796
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: to get better at? How do we have to recruit?

797
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: But I think the formula we've had at all of

798
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 4: our jobs, this is my fourth head coaching job, has

799
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 4: been successful. You know, you've got to get the right

800
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 4: ingredients to be able to do it. So I think

801
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: what's key about this is you just got to keep

802
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 4: your head down and keep going. You can't get you know,

803
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 4: two down after a couple of losses and just like us,

804
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: now we've won, you know, three in a row. You

805
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: can't get too full of yourself. You got to you

806
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: just got to keep going every day because this stuff

807
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 4: is is unforgiving. So it's really a brutal lead that way,

808
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: But that's what you want. You want to challenge yourselves

809
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: against the best, and it's our job to try to

810
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 4: find a way to put Minnesota among those among those teams.

811
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 4: So we got a chance to play in the nce

812
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 4: DOAA Tournament.

813
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: Kay Tyson is fun to watch.

814
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: Cad played thirty one games for the tar Heels last

815
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: year and absolutely, for whatever the reason, got lost in

816
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the shuffle. Kate is scoring twenty one a game for

817
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: Nico gets to the line about eight times a game.

818
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 2: That's very nice. What do you like about Tyson's game?

819
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: I think he you know, he's a guy. When he

820
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 4: was at Belmont, he was one of the top transfers

821
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: you know, on the market. It just didn't work for

822
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 4: him at North Carolina for whatever reason, it wasn't the

823
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 4: right fit. We thought he'd be a great fit here

824
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 4: and what we do and kind of the needs that

825
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 4: we have. And you know, he's a guy that you know,

826
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: has a reputation for being a great shooter, and he is.

827
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 4: I mean, he's one of the best shooters I've ever

828
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: been around. But I think what people didn't see is

829
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 4: really his ability to score.

830
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: It's like you.

831
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 4: Reference, he really has a knack for getting to the

832
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 4: free throw line. He's a great cutter. He's got a

833
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 4: quicker first step than people realize. He was able to

834
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 4: get by guys. He's pretty good on the glass. He's

835
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: really improved defensively, and he's just he's our hardest worker.

836
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: So you know, you put all those things together, you know,

837
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 4: you get what you have right now. I didn't realize

838
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: I thought he'd be really good. I mean it'd be

839
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: lyon see if I said he'd be one of the

840
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 4: leading scores in the in the Big ten, you know,

841
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 4: at this point. But he's been awesome and reminds me

842
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 4: a lot of the Kidney Clifford we had that, you

843
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 4: know at Colorado State. He came to us from Colorado

844
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 4: was you know, was just kind of not finding his way,

845
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 4: came to us, and you know, two years later he

846
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 4: was an NBA first rounder. So, you know, Kay's gonna

847
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 4: have a bright future obviously the rest of this year,

848
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: and I think he's going to play, you know, at

849
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 4: the next level for a long time.

850
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: And Nick plays about twenty minutes a game for Sacramento

851
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: trying to find his feet there.

852
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. Go for sports.

853
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: Go for sports dot Com to check out the team

854
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: tonight or maybe Tuesday when Wisconsin is at the barm

855
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: quote USC tonight, what are some keys to winning this one?

856
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know Muss obviously, our fans know him a

857
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: coach here. He's a terrific coach. He's done around a

858
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 4: long time. They've got a really, really talented athletic group,

859
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: maybe the most athletic team we've played all year. You know,

860
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 4: he's dealt with some injuries too. I think one of

861
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 4: the things may be about they're the number one team

862
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: in the country at getting to the free throw line,

863
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 4: so they put a lot of foul pressure on you.

864
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 4: You know, obviously with our rotation only being seven guys,

865
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 4: that's something that keeps you up at night. We got

866
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 4: to do a great job and transition, try to keep

867
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 4: them off the line, keep them off the glass, and

868
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: try to outlast them. But you know, they're a team

869
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: that's coming off they were twenty first in the country

870
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 4: about ten days ago. They lost at Michigan and Michigan State. Well,

871
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: you know, sold a lot of people this year, so

872
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: they're gonna be desperate for a win here tonight. So

873
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 4: we'll have to bring.

874
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: Our a game one.

875
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: One of your assistants is Dave Thorsion. And and you

876
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: and Dave have been together for quite some time, haven't

877
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: you In what ways does help you and the team?

878
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Dave is he's a great coach, but

879
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 4: he's also a great friend. You know, he's been unbelievably loyal.

880
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 4: I mean, it's amazing how the years have gone by.

881
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 4: I mean I spent so much time, you know, with him,

882
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 4: even before he came to Dela Fell. And then obviously

883
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 4: he's a Hall of fame coach at Dela CEL. He

884
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 4: brings a lot of energy and insight to everything we

885
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 4: do every day. And he's so connected here in the

886
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 4: Twin Cities, so I mean he knows everybody. That's just

887
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 4: who Dave is. And like I said, because he's a

888
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 4: veteran guy and he's been around so long, you know,

889
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 4: sometimes he's the guy that has, you know, an insider

890
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 4: might see something that maybe somebody who's left experience doesn't see.

891
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 4: And he kind of knows where you know, what you

892
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 4: have to do day in and day out, can look

893
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: into every nook and cranny and I guess that hopefully

894
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 4: helps you see some things that others don't see. But

895
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 4: on that he's just a he's just a great friend.

896
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 4: I mean his daughter Ella is going to go play

897
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 4: volleyball at Saint Thomas. I mean she was a flower

898
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: girl in our wedding. That's how that's how far back

899
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 4: we go.

900
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: Coach, is fantastic meeting you.

901
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: Look forward to meeting you in person and having you

902
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: on the radio show more. If you are so inclined,

903
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: tear it up tonight against USC. Go for sports dot

904
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,240

Speaker 2: Have a wonderful weekend.

907
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: Okay, hey, thanks Pa, appreciate you. Go Gophers.

908
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Yes, Sir Nico Medbed, coach of the Golden Gophers basketball

909
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: team USC Tonight seven thirty on KFAM, we return to

910
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: the Friday football Feast. Charge rejoins the equation right after

911
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: this Mercers eight head coach openings. I ranked them one

912
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: to eight Giants Baltimore, Atlanta, Cleveland, Vegas five, Tennessee six,

913
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: Miami seven, Arizona eight. Paul Charchie, in his return for

914
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: a couple of hours of the feast, nordos here, what

915
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: about you guys?

916
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 2: One day eight? How do you do it? I think

917
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: you're close, but not perfect.

918
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: I mean, you know that's and I think that's that's

919
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 5: an acceptable level for you.

920
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: Close but not perfect.

921
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: Having your back Baltimore's clearly the number one job. You

922
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 5: get Lamar Jackson, you get Derrick Henry, you get Zay Flowers,

923
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 5: you get Roquan Smith, you get a good secondary. You

924
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 5: have a team twenty eight million under the cap with

925
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 5: those superstars on offense. You have no glaring roster weakness

926
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 5: of any kind. With the Ravens, you walk into that

927
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 5: man's I mean, the only bad thing about the Ravens

928
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 5: is you're following an eighteen year legend who got you

929
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 5: to the Super Bowl. I don't know where the downside

930
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 5: would be with the Ravens and why they would not

931
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 5: be number one on your list.

932
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: Old roster, it's an older roster. The Giants have a

933
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: significantly younger roster. I like Dart, I like Dart Wis Kataboo.

934
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: They had a little thing going there without Malik Neighbors.

935
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: Yes we'll return Abdullah Carter showed a pulse at the

936
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: end of the year. Brian Burns tried to lead the

937
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: NFL in sacks and he's still young. I like their

938
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: draft picks with Baltimore Lamar obviously mostly like their roster,

939
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: and I could go either way on those two. Atlanta

940
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: they have Penix if you like him.

941
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: By do you like Pennix? And is he sure? Is

942
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: he a fran? Are you done at quarterback? Michael Penick?

943
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: Not sure?

944
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: But the owner, Arthur Blank spends and I sense Arthur

945
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: is nearing the end of his ownership tenure with Atlanta,

946
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: just with some things he's saying about the football operations

947
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: guy they're going to hire, probably Matt Ryan, and just

948
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: the urgency with some of the some of the moves

949
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: that he's making.

950
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 2: Where do you believe Kirk Cousins will be played? Don't know?

951
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: Cleveland, Miles Garrett and good picks. Las Vegas talent poor,

952
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: no quarterback. Don't like the Vegas culture for the NFL.

953
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll won everywhere, made it one year there. I

954
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: mean that that that that should be part of the equation. Tennessee.

955
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: I might not like the quarterback Miami. I don't like

956
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: Miami in that division and Arizona tough division, tallum, poor squad.

957
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 2: That's why I go that way.

958
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: What about Unardo, Well, I have Baltimore similarly, I have

959
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 3: Baltimore similarly to Charge, and I appreciate the older roster

960
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 3: in terms of the ability to jump in and have

961
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 3: early success, which I think is what a lot of

962
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: head coaches are looking for. I think that is the

963
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: most turnkey in terms of any of the franchises that

964
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 3: we brought up. I like the Falcons more so because

965
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: I mean speaking in some ways of aging roster, and

966
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: they have their issues. But in terms of if you

967
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 3: like Pennix, you love Bijeon, you love the weapons around

968
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 3: Pennix and Bijon, you love some of the young studs

969
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 3: they do have. On defense, they got this Cayden Ellis

970
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 3: cat that has I mean he's got a thousand tackles

971
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 3: in the last two seasons.

972
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: I think it feels like it.

973
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 3: And he's been, he's been. You have some things that

974
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: you can work with. In regards to the Falcons the Giants,

975
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 3: for me, I don't believe in Jackson Dart. I don't

976
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 3: believe in Scataboo the way that some people do. The

977
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: concussion issue with Jackson Dart puts you in a spot

978
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: where you're thinking, I might have to change the way

979
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 3: he plays for him to have success on the field.

980
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 3: The problem is you drafted Dart because he will run,

981
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: because he will try to make those plays with his

982
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: legs and athleticism. Kenny stay on the field. Scataboo's got

983
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 3: an expiration date on that thing. I mean, that's just

984
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: bam bam run, and I just I don't like that.

985
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 3: I love neighbors. I think the defense has a chance.

986
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 3: So I'd go Baltimore Falcons into Giants and then Raiders

987
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 3: if you like the cap and the number one overall pick,

988
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: and then Tennessee. Brown's Miami and Arizona.

989
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: Two of us got azy at the bottom. I want

990
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: to jump in.

991
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: And just the things that I think you're where, you're

992
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 5: both mostly wrong. Oh sweet Tennessee is actually a good

993
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 5: landing spot. Third best in my list. Cam Ward made

994
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 5: huge strides in December. Totally different quarterback in December than

995
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 5: what he had been.

996
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 2: Why are you watching Titans games?

997
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 5: I gotta watch all the games, Paul, and we even

998
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 5: Titans games. They've got young good receivers in Shamira DK

999
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 5: and Io Manor, and they've got this young rookie tight

1000
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 5: end Gunner Helm who looks like he's gonna be really good.

1001
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 5: Tennessee ninety six million under the cap. Yeah, that's fair,

1002
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 5: and you know.

1003
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: That I think you can build off of that.

1004
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 5: I don't especially if you don't go win with the

1005
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 5: assumption that cam Ward is the franchise quarterback. Bring in

1006
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 5: somebody else as well, give him a little challenge. You

1007
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 5: don't have to necessarily put a first round pick against

1008
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 5: cam Ward, but bring in somebody else that has some upside.

1009
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 5: And I think Tennessee is a sneaky good landing spot.

1010
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 5: And the other one I'll disagree with you on near

1011
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 5: my bottom is Cleveland Browns. You know, you get Miles Garrett,

1012
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 5: he's great, You get picked six, that's good. Harold Fannin

1013
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 5: looks legit, but the rest of this roster is really

1014
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 5: a bummer and no obvious solve at the quarterback position.

1015
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: They're still gonna be paying Deshaun Watson.

1016
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 5: Still, I don't want to inherit Deshaun Watson in his

1017
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 5: salary for another year. Quinchawn Judkins, their start running back,

1018
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 5: broke his leg and dislocated his ankle.

1019
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: We don't know what his status is. And the Browns,

1020
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: the Haslim family is not necessarily one that you want

1021
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: to hook your wagon to.

1022
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 5: So I'm not with you as much on the Browns.

1023
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 5: I think you're underrating ten brawnes. At the bottom line,

1024
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 5: I have the Browns six out of eight. Okay, yeah,

1025
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 5: I'm totally with you there.

1026
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: That's Paul Charchi him back for a Friday football feast

1027
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: in order to produces, and I'm Paul Allen.

1028
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 2: It's ten o'clock back after
