Speaker 2: be rebooted in a.

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: Bit not quite yet.

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people who come to the

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: super Bowl Weekend and Super Bowl Sunday, for the spectacle,

24
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: for the drama, for the bigness of it all, perhaps

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: the one thing left that breaks down the polarizing nature

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: of our politics. And even there it gets complicated. But

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people watch. Do they watch for the game?

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Do they watch for the spectacle? Do they watch for

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: the halftime show? Different people probably have different ans. Series,

30
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: and inspired by a startubuting dot com piece up now

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: in which speaking of redoubtable, redoubtable music critic John Breen

32
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: frequent contributed to this program ranks his top five super

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: Bowl halftime shows in super Bowl history, and he ranks

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: his bottom five super Bowl halftime shows that got me

35
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: down the rabbit hole because many of those we've talked

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: about before. Many of them are obvious. But I guess

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: I forgot. I have honestly no recollection of the super

38
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Bowl thirty No super Bowl twenty three halftime show played.

39
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: This was in nineteen eighty nine. The headliner on that occasion, Well, yeah,

40
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean I guess the stage name of the individual

41
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: who headlined super Bowl twenty three halftime show was somebody

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: named Elvis Presto. Now, I either completely forgotten this or

43
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: never knew it, or had blanked it out.

44
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure we complained constantly.

45
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: No one's ever happy about who we end up getting

46
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: to perform at halftime, right, everybody's got an opinion, Ah,

47
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: this guy's too old, this guy's too young, this isn't

48
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: they have enough mass appeal?

49
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: It goes on and on and on and on.

50
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: Right, But I think before we complain again, we should

51
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: go back in history and remind you that it was

52
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: whatever we're doing now, whatever we have been doing, it

53
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: was once worse the pre eminent sporting event in the country.

54
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl halftime show was once the the the

55
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: krem de la creme of you know, wide screen entertainment.

56
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Mass appeal entertainment for the biggest sporting event was headlined

57
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: by Elvis Prestow. Now who was Elvis Prestow? I had

58
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: to look it up. I assume it had something to

59
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: do with Elvis Presley without it being Elvis Presley, because

60
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: I think Elvis Presley had was already long dead by.

61
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Nineteen and eighty nine.

62
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: Will you look up Elvis Presley's the day he died.

63
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: I was still in college. I think August sixteen, nineteen

64
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: seventy seven.

65
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: That's it.

66
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: So this is twelve years after his death, and Elvis

67
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Presto is the stage name, and I'm not making this up.

68
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: You could look it up. Maybe some of you remember

69
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: it of the Elvis Presley in personator who headlined the show,

70
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: played by dancer Alex Cole.

71
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: No, not that Alex Cole. Different.

72
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: The character performed magic tricks and lip synced to nineteen

73
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: fifties tunes as part of a three D be Bop

74
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: Bamboozled spectacular.

75
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: Sponsored by Coca Cola. Can you make this up?

76
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: Elvis Presto solid gold dancer, So there were two. There

77
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: were portions of two Elvis Presley songs, Blue Suede Shoes

78
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: and Burning Love. The rest of the show featured songs

79
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: from musicals among other tunes. Originally, he hadn't even been

80
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: cast to impersonate Elvis, but was the choreographer for an

81
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: individual had previously played Elvis on Broadway. But that guy

82
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: backed out. You don't back out of the National Football

83
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: League halftime show?

84
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 3: Do you a super Bowl?

85
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: He backed out, So they said, we got to get

86
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 2: another Elvis impersonator. So they went with Elvis Presto. And

87
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: by the way, it wasn't even The vocals weren't even live.

88
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: The vocals were pre recorded performed by somebody named Jody Lomedico.

89
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Jody Lomdico show also featured two thousand South Florida area

90
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: dancers and performers. A number of magic tricks had been considered,

91
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: decided that their big trick would be a large scale

92
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: card trick. The show also featured the use of one

93
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: hundred and two custom made Harley Davidson motorcycles, as well

94
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: as pink Cadillacs and fireworks. God, I wish, I wish

95
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: I'd known this the last time I had Bob Costas on.

96
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: The event was immediately preceded by a pre taped introduction

97
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: by Bob Constas.

98
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: I wonder what his record.

99
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: I bet you he would be amusing with his recollections

100
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: of the Elvis Presto halftime show in nineteen hundred at

101
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: eighty nine. The moral of the story is, boys and girls.

102
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of bad ones, or a lot

103
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: of weird ones, or a lot of ones that didn't

104
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: seem very inspired. We've had the group called up with people.

105
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: You're way too young to know about that group. The

Speaker 2: Part of Super Bowl seven trying to figure out what

117
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: year do we have to get to? Where it feels like,

118
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: all right, we're starting to get into a rhythm of

119
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: big name people in their prime or even slightly after

120
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: their prime.

121
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: I'm up to twelve.

122
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,360

00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: Was that a bunch of them up with people again?

128
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: there Los Angeles Super Drill Team the next year. This

129
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: was when it was at the Rose Bowl. Another up

130
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: with people. How about George Burns, Mickey Rooney at halftime,

131
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: along with a bunch of Disney characters, Chubby Checker, the Roquettes,

132
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: eighty eight grand player piano players. Then I mentioned Elvis Presto.

133
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: That was in twenty three. I'm still scrolling. Twenty five

134
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: we had new kids on the block. Is that when

135
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: it started being like recognizable band names. Then of course

136
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: the next one was here January twenty sixth, nineteen hundred

137
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: and ninety two, Glory Estefan. We turned it into a

138
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: salute to winter. You know, we were winter Magic, I

139
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: think is what it was called. We were celebrating we

140
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: don't run from winter here in Minnesota. We don't mock it,

141
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: embrace it, we love It didn't go particularly well, as

142
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: I recall it. Olympic figure skaters were part of it.

143
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: Brian Boitano, Dorothy Hamill, and members of the nineteen eighty

144
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: US Olympic hockey team, not to mention the University of

145
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: Minnesota marching band. Here's where it feels like it went

146
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: big time. The next year that people were so traumatized

147
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: by our super Bowl halftime show in ninety two. The

148
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: next year, guess who an unprecedented super Bowl spectacular starring

149
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson. I see, okay, now we get it. It's

150
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: only taken us twenty seven super Bowls to figure it out.

151
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: Man, we got to go big, big, big big.

152
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: Next year, went Country year after that, Patty LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass,

153
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 2: Tony Bennett, Diana Ross. After that, the Blues Brothers with

154
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: dan Aykroyd, John Goodman and Jimmy belushi' zz.

155
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: Top and list goes on and on.

156
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: But I gotta tell you I was I'm wondering if

157
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: there's anybody listening via the bratshaw on Brian Cafe in

158
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: text line, Well, you wouldn't be listening via that, but

159
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: could reach us via that.

160
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: Who remember the moment when.

161
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: Elvis Presto hit the center stage halftime of that Super Bowl?

162
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: Were you wowed? Were you impressed? Were you dazzled? Were

163
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: we more innocent then so we could actually be entertained

164
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: by somebody named Elvis Presto? Or do you look back

165
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: on it and say you've never recovered from the trauma.

166
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Here's the opening salvo from Bob Costas, Oh you got,

167
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: introducing the immortal Elvis Preston, let's.

168
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: Hear it, Welcome back to Miami, and halftime of Super

169
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 5: Bowl twenty three.

170
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 6: You know.

171
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: In a classic Honeymooners episode, Ralph Cranton once claimed that

172
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: he wouldn't all on a television set because he was

173
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 5: waiting for the advent of three D. Well, Ralph boy,

174
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760

Speaker 5: Elaborate music and magic spectacular featuring tunes from the fifties

178
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 5: and hosted by the Immortal Elvis Presto. Elvis will perform

179
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: the biggest ever card trick, where folks in the stadium

180
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: will select the card and it'll be revealed in a

181
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: most unique way.

182
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: It's too exciting to bear.

183
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Well, you've got the special three D.

184
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 5: Glasses, now's the time to put them on.

185
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I love it, I love it.

186
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: The Costa snark right there, it's almost too much. And

187
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: then in the video I did see that he does

188
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: put the glasses on. The three D glasses on simpler times, man,

189
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: more innocent times than where we tend to be today.

190
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: Is it bonus Bucks Day today? On a Friday? It is,

191
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

192

201
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Dan writes one of our listeners.

202
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: This is from area code six oh five. It should

203
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: be noted that Elvis was still alive the last time

204
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: the Vikings were in the Super Bowl. Yeah, it's been

205
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: a while, there's no question about that. I guess we

206
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: can't take some credit, like I said, for the shift

207
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: to something less gimmicky, because in the old days, it

208
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: was like we're gonna throw like twenty three things against

209
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: a wall, a couple of marching bands, a couple of entertainers,

210
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: a couple of magic tricks, whatever, and it went so

211
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: badly here that they said, all right, let's just let's

212
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: just get somebody.

213
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: Really big and really good, and this is Michael Jackson.

214
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: We missed Michael Jackson by one year. Think about it.

215
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: And plus we had all the good connections. I mean,

216
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: you know, Jimmy, Jimmy jam I mean, he had all

217
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: kinds of connections to the family. Would have been nice

218
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: for him to pull that off here, but it was

219
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: the next year. According to Bream, I'll give you I'll

220
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: pare down his list idle shock No. One that he

221
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: has for best Super Bowl halftime show ever prints in

222
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. This will delight Pat Kessler. Of course,

223
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: he's got Beyonce number two. That's from twenty thirteen. He's

224
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: got U two three from two thousand and two. He

225
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: reminds us that, but this was far and away the

226
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: most emotional halftime. Ever, how would the NFL deal with

227
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: the post nine to eleven hangover still enveloping the world?

228
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: You two unfurled a scrim with the.

229
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: Names of all the people who died on nine to eleven,

230
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: As Bono's saying, where the streets have no name. He's

231
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: got doctor dre four, got Lady Gaga five, how about

232
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: worst number five?

233
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: He lists Black Eyed Peas.

234
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: In twenty thirteen, he goes with Maroon five as the

235
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: fourth worst, third worst aerosmith. He notes that the role

236
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: playing comedic introductory bit with Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler and

237
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: Chris Rock was a cute setup, and pairing n Sync

238
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: with Britney Spears made sense. Mix and aerosmith marry J

239
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: Blige and Nelly and well you do want to miss

240
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: everything is the way he puts it. A hot mess

241
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: bottomed out with the group rendition of aerosmiths Walk This

242
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Way two US the aforementioned Winter Magic in nineteen ninety two.

243
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Breen writes this was an attempt to introduce the joys

244
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: of Minnesota's cold months by presenting a winter wonderland inside

245
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: the dreaded Metrodome, imagined an ice Capades meets Disney World

246
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: show with dancers, gymnasts, the University of Minnesota marching band,

247
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: Frosty the Snowman, snowmobulers and skaters on three snowflake shaped

248
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: sheets of ice. Olympians Dorothy Hammel and Brian Boitano hit

249
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: the ice, as did members of the eighty US gold

250
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: medal team. They limped across the football field, children performed

251
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: a frosty rap and Miami's Gloria Estefan sag in two

252
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: and a half minute medley. At the end of it all,

253
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: in a disembodied voice, declared, come feel the cold, not

254
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: exactly enticing to explore Minnesota as his worst because he

255
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: and he he clearly forgot all about l espresto. He's

256
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: got Disney in the year two thousands of the tribute

257
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: to All Things Disney was like a mashup of The

258
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: Lion King on Broadway and an African Drum Circle, with

259
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: the answers and costumes created by light Lady Gaga's designers.

260
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: The Disney infomercial was not merely a series of halftime fumbles,

261
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: but a complete dumpster fire. This question has been asked before,

262
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: and I ask it not seriously because I know it's

263
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: there's no possibility this could ever happen.

264
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: What if we had a Super Bowl in which there

265
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: was no halftime show? Could we handle it? Would we

266
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: want to handle it?

267
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: Because that's the way out of the box, you know that,

268
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: Because every year there's this this teeth gnashing over well,

269
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: who's right, who's big enough?

270
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: Who brings us all together? Who's left?

271
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: You can't just keep putting aging rockers out there, but

272
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: who's ready for the kid?

273
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 6: Who you know?

274
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: Who is it?

275
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: And and it's constantly often it's it's wrong choice, not enough,

276
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: trying too hard.

277
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: There's a way out of the box, just don't have one,

278
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 3: or have it go back to the old days.

279
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting bring back up with people, but what

280
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: about what about a couple of marching bands that's it?

281
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: Or nothing, not gonna, not gonna work.

282
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't think, right, Well, you lose all the normies

283
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: who don't like sports, but we'll still watch anyways. Well,

284
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: they probably want them for all their money. That's true. Also,

285
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bias against the Black Eyed

286
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Peas on that list. I think that's a little that's

287
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: a little too vicious. Well as I'm just saying, the

288
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: Packers won the Super Bowl, So I think there's a

289
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: little bias.

290
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: That could have been that could have been part of it.

291
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: That's true.

292
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: I think part of what he's saying is that he's

293
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: not he's not analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of a

294
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: given band. He's just saying how they performed, how it

295
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: was planned and how it was executed all that sort

296
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: of thing as well.

297
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not sure.

298
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 6: But it.

299
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 2: I mean, like everybody, I you know, I end up

300
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: watching the halftime thing. But I really think maybe we

301
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: would lose a lot of the controversy. Well, this guy's

302
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: not patriotic enough, this one's on America, and this.

303
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: One I don't.

304
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: Let's just not have one, doesn't have a halftime show.

305
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: Let's make it more about the purity of the game.

306
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: I don't expect that to happen anytime soon, but it

307
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: would take all the pressure off that everybody feels about

308
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: threading the needle.

309
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: On who to get for the uh for the Bowl.

310
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting nomination, Red Panda in twenty twenty seven.

311
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: Is she healthy again? She got her here.

312
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 5: I think she.

313
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: Shattered her wrist. Yeah, it wasn't good.

314
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: How about yeah, like a special, super duper version of

315
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: Red Panda with all kinds of tricks.

316
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: She'say? How about this?

317
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: How about a Carl Wallenda like high wire act without

318
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 2: a net at the top of the arena, you know,

319
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: do something less having to do with music and more

320
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: to do with well, you know, almost like a big

321
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: top circus kind of thing. Now again, you don't want

322
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: anybody if they fall, that's not gonna It's not gonna

323
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: be all that easy to play the second half. If

324
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: there's a serious injury from the from the uh, the

325
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: high wire guy you know, falling to his death, that

326
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't Probably would they still play the game? Well, it's

327
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: a super Bowl. They probably would. They probably have to. Yeah, contractually,

328
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: TV would would demand it. I'm thinking we already went

329
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: down the magic road.

330
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: That's right. I'm not sure you can go there, Elvis Presto,

331
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: that's too.

332
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: All right, Let's try to break early to get some

333
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: extra time with Sean Salisbury. He's got a fairly tight

334
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: schedule it but he's gonna give us, we think, a

335
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: good fifteen minutes. We'll talk super Bowl sixty with him.

336
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: We'll get his reaction to the moves the Vikings have made,

337
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: including the firing of Aquasia, Dopha Mensa, and anything else

338
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: that's stuck in his craw. The prediction segment will follow

339
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: probably about three forty five, three fifty or so with

340
00:21:11,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: Carl gerbische At. Stay tuned, all right, we're working on

341
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: a communication with Sean Salisbury. We're having some difficulty with

342
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 2: the link up I see on my screen right now.

343
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: This is I think, via NBC the Winter Olympic Olympics

344
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: opening ceremonies as we speak, which largely ends up being.

345
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: Who's got the coolest.

346
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: In the case of the Winter Olympics winter jackets, we

347
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: got mister Salisbury outstanding, Shawn Salisbury, welcome back. Well, I

348
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 2: know your your schedules tight, so we'll try to get

349
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: to some good stuff here quickly. Would you classify yourself

350
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: as a Winter Olympics guy? Will you watch much? Will

351
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: you be invested much in for you? Is it just

352
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: more of a curiosity?

353
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: Oh, he just left.

354
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: He left us. That's Finn m all.

355
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: Right, keep working it, you keep working it. Picks will

356
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: be coming up a little bit later. Something about the

357
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: three o'clock hour. I think yesterday it was we had

358
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: issues with Joe Coley, but I think some of that

359
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 2: had to do with him being buried in an arena,

360
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: and sometimes the connection is not all that that good.

361
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: Eventually we will, I know.

362
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: The Wolves are scheduled to have a series of pressers

363
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: today introducing the newest members.

364
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: Of the club.

365
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: Not to mention I believe, but Finchy and Tim Conley

366
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: are scheduled to speak at some point or not. We

367
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: may be able to join that a little bit later.

368
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: And I have some hope of getting mister Conley, well,

369
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: actually both Conley's on the show.

370
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: It'd be nice to.

371
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: Get Mike Conley back, although he's not officially back with

372
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: the team yet. We'll get into that, into those permutations,

373
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: there's a reason for the delay that might well contribute

374
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: to the wolves chances to add another relatively high priced

375
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: player once some of these players.

376
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: End up getting bought off or bought out, I guess

377
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: I should say.

378
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: And then there's Tim Conley, the president of basketball operations

379
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: as well. A branch on Brian Kapeyan text line has

380
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: opened at six four six eight six. I think a

381
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: bad halftime performance is better than no performance. It gives

382
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: you more material for your daily complaints. That sounds snarky.

383
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: That sounds like he's making he is registered registering a complaint.

384
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: Why the Trumper's mad about bad Bunny? Last time I

385
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: checked perto Rico as a commonwealth of the United States of America,

386
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: which is where he is from. NFL loves the controversy

387
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: of the halftime show. Controversy brings clicks. Clicks, bring views,

388
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 2: and those views bring in billions. That's what they say, billions.

389
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: Now Salisbury claims he can't hear us, that he's not muted,

390
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know who knows what's going on. So

391
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: Blake Moore is working feverishly behind the scenes to see

392
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: if we can save our segment love the idea of

393
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: a non musical halftime about Bingo, a great big Bingo

394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: game at halftime, a game show, some special game show

395
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: at halftime.

396
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: Probably not. I don't think there is a good answer.

397
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: I just.

398
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: You know, you need to find out. In fact, while

399
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 2: we're working the phones here behind the scenes, let me

400
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: do a check here, let me do a Google check

401
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: on Elvis Presto. Let's see if he is trying to

402
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: find out if Elvis Presto is still with us today,

403
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: and well his name is his real name is Alex Cole.

404
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: So let's see Alex Cole answer what that way still

405
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: live says here says he was born in nineteen fifty six.

406
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: He's sixty nine years of age.

407
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: Alex Cole, who once played the of Elvis Presto. I'm

408
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: looking through the text to see if anybody remembers that

409
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: halftime show because I obviously I certainly was around for it,

410
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: but I have no how about a WWE Championship match

411
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: at halftime, open air stadium, you could do a huge

412
00:26:52,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: drone show. Elvis Presto ruined what was otherwise the first

413
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: good Super Bowl in about six years. Many weren't still

414
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: watching those previous ones. Virtually everyone was still watching Super

415
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: Bowl twenty three San fran versus Sinci, and they were

416
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: traumatized by Elvis Presto, the three D gimmicks, one hundred

417
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: plus Harley's pink Cadillacs, and a stadium wide card trick

418
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: like a car crash. It was horrifying, writs lawyer Tom.

419
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: But one couldn't look away. Stand up comics. Super Bowl

420
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: halftime too static. I think for most people, I just

421
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: don't think it would work. Weird al well, we know

422
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: a Seaffert would go for it. We think we got

423
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: Shawne all right, Sean, we got you back now. I

424
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 2: think we got to figure it out, apologize for our

425
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: technical issues.

426
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: Big, I mean, yeah, I got you now.

427
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: I was just asking real quick before we get to

428
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: a couple of quick football items, whether you are a

429
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: big winner Olympics guy, kind of casually interested the opening ceremonies,

430
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: you know, just going on now via NBC from Milan Courtina.

431
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: A lot of pageantry today, but obviously some of the

432
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: games have already some of the competition has already be gone.

433
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: Do you watch a little of it? Much of it?

434
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: Not so much? What do you what's your winter Olympic

435
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: diet like?

436
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: And before?

437
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 6: And I can stay on for a while day and

438
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 6: I changed it so I got you as long as

439
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 6: you know, watch the beautiful hang up.

440
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 4: I want to make sure I got you.

441
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 6: So no rush, although your fans might say rush, get through, Sean,

442
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 6: get him off here. I ungratlations by the way, congratulations

443
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 6: by year. And I know it's not that big a

444
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: deal because you went a lot of awards with the

445
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 6: Barrett Media and being one of the top shows in

446
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 6: the country.

447
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 4: Well deserved.

448
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: Appreciate that man, Thank you so much.

449
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 6: If I had a vote, I don't you would have

450
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 6: been even higher than you are, but well deserved. I

451
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 6: love the Olympics, Dan, It's changed for me. I don't

452
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 6: know if it was COVID in the switch I used

453
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 6: to be and this is the truth, I would wake up,

454
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 6: you know, And I love how I'll watch hockey.

455
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 4: An Sure, I love it. I do.

456
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 6: I'm a bigger Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics guy. I'm

457
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 6: intrigued with the downhill and the ski jumpers and I do.

458
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: I watch, but it's waned over the.

459
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 6: Last couple of Olympics and maybe just this past you know,

460
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 6: Winter Olympics probably not as much. The sad thing about

461
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 6: it is, you know, you see the promos on TV.

462
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 6: It's not the same giddy like anxiety. Oh I can't

463
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: it's here, I can't wait to say. It's like, oh,

464
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 6: it's the TV's on. Let me see what's going on

465
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 6: in the US versus Sweden. Right, it's not the same

466
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 6: I want. I'm intrigued with the Lindsay von stuff. I

467
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: love watching. You know, I'm a diehard in the Summer Olympics.

468
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 6: I won't miss Dan Hicks and rowdy games in the

469
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 6: swimming and the track and field just because they're in human,

470
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 6: like the snowboarders and all that. They trip me out,

471
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 6: how the guts stay out. So yes, I do watch,

472
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 6: but it's taken. I mean, I've been to Olympics in person.

473
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 6: Is a fan for the summer. I do watch, but

474
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 6: not as intently as I used to want. It's not

475
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: fair because these Olympics, these Olympians, you know, put all

476
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 6: the as you guys being in a winter state, put

477
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: all this time in and we say, I'm not as interested.

478
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 6: Yet everything in their life they've done is for this right, So.

479
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: I try to put respect on it.

480
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 6: But it's I'm not as hardcore of viewer as I

481
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 6: used to be in the Winter Olympics, and that bugs me,

482
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 6: but I'm not. I didn't even know they had an

483
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 6: event that started today, and you and I talked sports

484
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 6: and watch it and do it. I knew it was

485
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 6: coming up this weekend, but it doesn't have the same

486
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I can't miss this feel that it

487
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 6: has in the past.

488
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: I will tell you this.

489
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: I think part of the attraction for me having covered

490
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: so I think I ended up covering seven or eight

491
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: Olympics over the when I was still writing, is the

492
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: winner part leaving aside here. It's obviously big, the number

493
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: of athletes from Minnesota. It's it's it's dramatic, so it's

494
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: it's big business and interest here. But beyond that, for me,

495
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: it's as much I like getting away from the bats

496
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: and balls sports, you know, and and the more esoteric

497
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: stuff that, let's face it, the rest of the four

498
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: years I'm not going to spend much time with and

499
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: a lot of America is not going to spend much

500
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: time with and learning about it personalities, the stories. And

501
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: I will tell you I've told this story before on

502
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: the air, I can honestly say that when it comes

503
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: to actually being there covering an event on the scene,

504
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: watching the Italian skier, the all time great Alberto Tamba,

505
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, going down the hill like in one of

506
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: the races, I think he was like he had this

507
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: impossible deficit that he made up and him being me

508
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: being at the bottom of the hill with the fans

509
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: watching him at the top of this hill making his

510
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: way down, people losing their minds, only to see that

511
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: he finds a way to make up the time he

512
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: needed to and to win.

513
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: And it's got that grint on his face.

514
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: In terms of just being there on the scene, that's

515
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: as thrilling and emotional as any team sporting event I've

516
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: ever covered.

517
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: I love it.

518
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 6: And Dan, you know you're so right, like trentstan Sich

519
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: gonna sound crazy and maybe it's just recaller the stuff.

520
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 6: How wackle I am but I can remember growing up

521
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 6: and there was a ski jumper.

522
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: Named Matty Knukanan.

523
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Mati Nukan, Yes, and I got my first

524
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: like win. Remembering Winter Olympics. It wasn't hockey, right, and

525
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 6: and all this stuff. First of all, the broadcasters that

526
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 6: have to do games where you get like the Japanese.

527
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: And they got all those games. Why am I losing

528
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: my mind? On the great Mike?

529
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 6: Uh?

530
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: The great?

531
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 6: They were great hockey played by play guy who's done

532
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 6: it forever. It was NBC's lead guy for.

533
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: No.

534
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 6: He just retired the most recent Olympics. He's like Ernie Harwell's,

535
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 6: he's been NBC's Mike. Why am I losing my mind?

536
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: Mike Eck my pass? Mike Emerck, Doc Doc Emerck. Yeah,

537
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: he's yeah, he's.

538
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 6: Hockey the Olympics and he's rolling through names that seventy

539
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 6: four Still.

540
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: It's like unbelievable.

541
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: I got to buy about it is.

542
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 6: And I I look at student stuff like that Maddie

543
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: nuke it in and I'm intrigued with the downhill and

544
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: I love so you know.

545
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: The flying Dutchman. I friggin love it.

546
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 6: But you're right, I won't watch ski jumping another time

547
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 6: until the next Olympics.

548
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 4: So I'm with you.

549
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 6: We cover all these sports and with ball backs and

550
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 6: balls and football, I actually find it refreshing. And I'm

551
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 6: quite frankly, at some point in time you got to

552
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 6: practice this snowboard stuff, and I'm like, at some point

553
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 6: somebody jumped up and missed it and fell. You know,

554
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 6: I got to do it on a mat. At times

555
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 6: I'm like, they're nuts and my respectness through the roof.

556
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 6: But I'm with you. The anticipation of it and getting

557
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: out of the other stuff is phenomenal. And I think

558
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: that the broadcasters who studied even the cross country snow scene,

559
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 6: where they stop and shoot stuff that you wouldn't do normally.

560
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 6: I'm really into what's it curling. I won't watch curling

561
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 6: till the next Olympics, yeah, but I'll watch some of

562
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 6: it here, So I'm with you one. Yeah.

563
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: Part of it, I think in The Winner too, is

564
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: just the scenery. The aesthetics could be beautiful for all

565
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: the obvious reasons.

566
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 6: Even more, it's a winter sort right, yes, it curling

567
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 6: is a winter and I know it's on ice. I

568
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 6: know it's on ice, but I thought, well, hell, I

569
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 6: can play botchi ball on turf, so I might as

570
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 6: well be able to do that on some fin some

571
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 6: fin but I do like some of them. Yeah, but

572
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 6: I do get into it, and I am with you

573
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 6: on this, and it is the beauty of the Winter

574
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 6: Olympics is quite frankly mesmerizing.

575
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: There's no yeah, there's no question about that, and you

576
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 3: know it. And it's like with anybody.

577
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: I think you end up maybe paying more attention to

578
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: some stuff than others. And everybody has their uh, their

579
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: their favorites as well.

580
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 3: Let's get to some football as well here.

581
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: I we have not talked since the Vikings dismissed the

582
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: general manager of the team. I well, I think you know,

583
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: it's it's probably probably wasn't a shock that they did it.

584
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: The shock was that they seemed to wait longer than

585
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: one usually does. That could have ended up just being

586
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: the deliberate nature of the Wolfs not being around all

587
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: that much. And maybe they put you know, two and

588
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: two and two and two together and it took them

589
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: a little longer to get there. I don't know, but

590
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: they make that move. What did What did you make

591
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 2: of it? What you what's your reaction to it? From afar.

592
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, I tried that, And I'm glad you said from

593
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 6: Afarthy because you know a lot when when we're outside

594
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 6: the building or not locally or not covering them every day,

595
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 6: we'll hear stuff. When he first got the job, I

596
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 6: didn't know a lot about him. I mean I heard,

597
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: you know, I knew a little bit about background, but

598
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 6: not enough to know like if you say to me,

599
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 6: Sean Marty Herney, well I can give you Marty Hernie

600
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 6: eats for breakfast, right, So, but I didn't know enough

601
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 6: about it, but I knew a little bit if what

602
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 6: I read, I know it was a Diana Rassini or

603
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 6: something about his lack of commitment to the job. Now

604
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 6: you know how I felt about McCarthy is going to

605
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 6: be a good player. But you know, I felt letting

606
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 6: Darnold walk was a mistake you did and I thought,

607
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 6: you know, even for you and I both said franchise

608
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 6: and make him a duel over one more year. Listen,

609
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 6: everybody's going to hit on draft picks and some are

610
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 6: going to miss. But what took me over the top

611
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 6: of this, and it doesn't surprise me that he was

612
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 6: fired and when a head coach and you know, if

613
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 6: there's disagreements or the spec lady, we're gonna we're all

614
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 6: gonna speculate on different things.

615
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 4: Of the reasons why.

616
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 6: But if part of the reasons were that disagreed on

617
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 6: the quarterback didn't show up to to senior balls, took

618
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks off. Now, listen, if your family's

619
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 6: hurt or you've got a you know, paternity leave where

620
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 6: somebody's going through tough, I completely get it. But listen,

621
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 6: you know what you get into taking the job as

622
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 6: the GM. This is a job, not a hobby, and

623
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: you got to be devoted to it. He may be

624
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 6: the nicest guy in the world and dedicated, But what

625
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 6: I saw, and if it's eighty percent true, he's a

626
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 6: crappy ass GM. That's a bit that's about as kind

627
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 6: as I can put. If that's the case, it tells

628
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 6: me it was just a any GM that doesn't show

629
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: up to see even if it's just optics alone. You

630
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 6: you you have to be present, you have to be pressed.

631
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 6: You're the GM. You're not the assistant GM. You're not

632
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 6: you're not you're not an intern. And some of it,

633
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 6: maybe there may be counteraction to this. He may be

634
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 6: to me there was some things they could have done

635
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 6: different And if what I I read from it feels

636
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 6: like reliable journalistic sources instant that he was. It almost felt,

637
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 6: I don't want to say checked out, Dan, then you're

638
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 6: closer to it than I. That's why from afar is

639
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 6: a good way. I would have done the same thing,

640
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 6: and you can't. I know guys that don't sleep because

641
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 6: of this job, let alone, don't take two days off

642
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 6: from their thing.

643
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: That you deserve to be a human being.

644
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 6: But there are certain things about the optics of this

645
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 6: and senior bull stuff that you just that you don't

646
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 6: have that option unless somebody's sick, hurt, dying, or you're

647
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 6: having a baby in labor. You just don't do that.

648
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: And so to me, this had this decision judging from that.

649
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 6: If it's true or even eighty percent true, I can't move.

650
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: Forward with it.

651
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 6: And it feels to me like a lot of time

652
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 6: he was in over his head. And if that's the case,

653
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 6: I can do that job better than him, and so

654
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 6: can you. If that's the case, be in presence half

655
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 6: the battle.

656
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: So don't know him.

657
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 6: I've never met him, and from my vantage point, Minnesota

658
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 6: Vikings will probably be better for it if, in fact,

659
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: you know eight out of ten of that or eighty

660
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 6: percent of the what was said is true.

661
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: Now you can diffuse it if you know something different

662
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: than me. But and I haven't studied that, but I've.

663
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 6: Seen it from Afar, and from Afar, this decision had

664
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 6: to be made. Well.

665
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: Part of what you know troubles me about it is

666
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: that you can make put this way. What seemed to

667
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: appeal to the Vikings, I think largely owners and maybe

668
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: a couple other people in the building about him was

669
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: he's quirky.

670
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: You know, he comes at it from a different.

671
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: Perspective, and we just had a hardcore guy with Spielman.

672
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: Maybe we need maybe you don't. You can't see the

673
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: forest for the tree, so he gets maybe you get

674
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: a fresh look at everything doing it in a different way. Now,

675
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: the quirky sounds like, well, he just was too detached

676
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: and made a lot of bad decisions in the draft,

677
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 2: And so part of me says it's on him, But

678
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: part of me says it's really on the team for

679
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: not properly vetting, because to a certain extent, you could

680
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: argue they he gave him what they asked for, which

681
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: was I'm going to look at it a different way.

682
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at a lot of spreadsheets. I'm

683
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: not going to do it the old fashioned way. And

684
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: and and so I would argue part of this is

685
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: still is even on the team for hiring him in

686
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: the first place, for not having good handle on what

687
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: that would you know what that might mean? You know,

688
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: the other guy who was the finals was Poles, And

689
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: I think Poles comes from the more traditional you know,

690
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: he'd been in it for actually, I mean Crazy has

691
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: been in it for a while, but Poles, I think

692
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: more traditional approach exactly.

693
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: So part of this is.

694
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: On Yeah, you can put it on the guy for

695
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 2: not doing it, but I say, well, to a certain degree,

696
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: he kind of gave you what at the front end

697
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: you thought was cool and different and and you know

698
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: modern about him and and and now you're looking at

699
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: it differently because obviously, especially related to the draft the drug,

700
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: the results were not very good.

701
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what, Dan, and you're it's such

702
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 6: a such a great point is quirky sometimes can be good,

703
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,959
Speaker 6: But quirky and different doesn't always mean different for better,

704
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 6: that's right, for worse than And you are I tell

705
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,959
Speaker 6: people they say, okay. Well, and somebody asked me about

706
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 6: this situation, wasn't in Minnesota? I said, well, your co

707
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 6: coordinator makes great calls and is just put you makes

708
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 6: the right call and everybody and if this guy's dominant,

709
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 6: dominant yet I put the quarterback couldn't throw it through

710
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 6: a car wash or couldn't hit the car wash even

711
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 6: though he's got a stry and just can't.

712
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 4: He keeps on to the other team. But the coordinators

713
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: gett't blame.

714
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 6: It's like, oh man, it all looked good, but the

715
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 6: quarterbacks got the ball and it said. The same thing

716
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 6: here is that while the owners that hired him, yeah,

717
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 6: you put him out there. It looks good, but if

718
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 6: he continues to make the wrong decisions, I got to

719
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: go back to the dude who had the ball in

720
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 6: his hand, either the quarterback or the ownership in this case,

721
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 6: to vet it the right way. You hired him, so

722
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 6: you go with it, so you know whose fault is it. Well,

723
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 6: if you're going to go through the process, that's why

724
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 6: when an athletic director hires a head coach, my athletic

725
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 6: director ain't going through three head coaches and getting a

726
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 6: hall passed he's the one who hired him him. And

727
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 6: if it's if it continues to make the wrong mistakes

728
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 6: and you're paying him one hundred million for eight years

729
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 6: to coach college football, guess what, At some point in time,

730
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 6: I got to start to look at the person who

731
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 6: did the hiring and vetting in the first place. In

732
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 6: this case, right change. We all look at it like, okay, cool.

733
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 6: But the one thing I do know, Dan, it's really

734
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 6: hard in this job. Things change in life, But the

735
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 6: one thing that doesn't change is being present and being

736
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 6: involved and being hands on without being a micromanager where

737
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 6: you don't let people do their jobs but you it

738
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 6: can become a problem. So it's all good. But you're right,

739
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 6: it's the people. Should he have been hired in the

740
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 6: first place.

741
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: Did you vet it.

742
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 6: Properly to know is this really going to work in

743
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 6: this business? And maybe it'll work again for him, but

744
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 6: in this case the draft, who knows. But the one

745
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 6: thing I know where reputation follows that there's any hint

746
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 6: of hey man, that doesn't she's not present, he's quirky.

747
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: He doesn't do it now.

748
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 6: Quirky doesn't become quirky or different quirky, becomes lazy or

749
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 6: or disengage.

750
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: If that's the case.

751
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 6: Even if it's not the case, that reputation starts to

752
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 6: follow you around.

753
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: So it didn't work. But if he's not showing.

754
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 6: Up to those things, would say, my GM as an

755
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 6: owner needed to be replaced and it was time. But

756
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 6: you're exactly right who did the hiring original Well, we

757
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 6: know who did it, and it didn't work, and a

758
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 6: little late to the party on when you were going

759
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 6: to move on from it. But what looked good three

760
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 6: or four or however many years ago this happened is

761
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 6: no longer in place. So I think it was the

762
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 6: right move one way or the other. But you also

763
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 6: got to start to look at when you're hiring these gms.

764
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 6: Are you asking the right questions of coaches and gms

765
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 6: when you do hire them.

766
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: Well, the one argument I've had regarding this decision is

767
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to him to just put

768
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback mess on him, because we've been led to

769
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: believe that koc has got more power than just as

770
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: a head coach given his quarterback background, and that's what

771
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: he prides himself on, and I think that's a shared responsibility.

772
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 3: I really do.

773
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: I think that the one danger is a guy gets fired.

774
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: You've been through this. He ends up getting blamed sometimes

775
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: for stuff he might be responsible for and a few

776
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: things he's not, because it becomes easy to pile on

777
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: the guy, even in the building, off the record, because

778
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 2: he's gone. And at the quarterback deal, I think this

779
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: is every bit as much on the head coach as

780
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 2: it is because we've been led to believe on a

781
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: lot of quarterback stuff.

782
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 3: Quazy has deferred to Koc.

783
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: He's had a lot of power, and he's kind of

784
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: being blamed Sean for not getting the Daniel Jones signing done.

785
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: And even there, I.

786
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 2: Go, well, maybe that's his fault because he's the GM.

787
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: But you know, and I know the name of the

788
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: best five gms in football history. I'm not sure any

789
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: of them could have gotten that done. Because what Jones

790
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: understood was the obvious that the Vikings, starting with Koc,

791
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: wanted JJ to be the starter this coming season, and

792
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: so he knew Jones did if he had an opportunity

793
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: someplace else like Indy where they're already looking past their

794
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: young quarterback, he was going to have a more decent

795
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 2: chance to win the job from the beginning, and ultimately

796
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you know Quazy or anybody else could

797
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: could have done anything about that.

798
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Dan, of all the years I've played and

799
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 6: broadcasted or coached it, I'll be honest with you, whether

800
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 6: it's Ron Wolf in Green Bay, you talk about top

801
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 6: five guys right when Poleon was doing his thing early on.

802
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 6: We can argue now with his his Hall of Fame

803
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 6: selections on Belichick that I feels about that. But as

804
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 6: a football guy Lynch and Shanahan, when it comes to

805
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 6: a guy like mart Pretty, I have never Denny Green

806
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 6: dealing with our front office or Burns it, it didn't matter.

807
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 6: I have never been associated with or talked to anybody

808
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 6: that one cat made the decision on your quarterback ever.

809
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 6: A matter of fact, it usually is now the final

810
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 6: decision maybe, but with my quarterback it's almost this precious

811
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 6: come out. It's like, wait a second, now, I need

812
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 6: eighty opinions. I'm going to make the final, but I

813
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 6: need did you see something in that guy that I did?

814
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 4: Did you see something? See?

815
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 6: You take all the information and then one guy, you hope,

816
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 6: because you don't want eight chefs in the kitchen. But

817
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 6: it's rare that one guy's doing this kind of doing

818
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 6: it all. And I'm making this decision and this is

819
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 6: it because in truth, even if you feel like you

820
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 6: know it, you still.

821
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 4: Want to lean to somebody next to you who knows

822
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 4: it too.

823
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 6: You say, am I right, Am I evaluating this guy

824
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 6: properly this quarter? You know what I'm saying. Yeah, So

825
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 6: you're right about that. And I can't imagine a head

826
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 6: coach offensive minded would take a job knowing that the

827
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 6: groceries are going to be handed to him without him

828
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 6: knowing being able to read the label and say, when

829
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 6: the you know the the daties, you got to throw

830
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 6: it away, right, And so I agree, But as you know,

831
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 6: it's funny when things are going great, Oh man, the

832
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 6: coach has got a great saying that his hands on

833
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 6: with the quarter when it goes back all hell, no,

834
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 6: I wanted sam here. Yeah, it works, and unfortunately you

835
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: get pinned with stuff that may be seventy percent of

836
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 6: its yours. Yea, but the other thirty percents unfair and

837
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 6: somewhere in the middle is the way it usually lands.

838
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 6: And that's probably the case here. In fairness to QUIZI.

839
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's definitely solid or close to the

840
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: top of the hour. Give me your quick I gotta

841
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: admit I feel bad saying this because you know, I'm

842
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: one of those people who, you know, sometimes whins about

843
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: the same teams always winning, same quarterbacks. I'm not energized

844
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: by this matchup as much as I'd like to be.

845
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: But give me your what you see, what you think

846
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 2: of it, and what you think is going to happen

847
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

848
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 6: And I and you know what, Dan, I'm one hundred.

849
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 6: I am for the same reason I was. I'm but

850
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 6: on my shoulder. They said, who played off? So the

851
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 6: same team, same team, and they're the best, and we

852
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 6: mahomes and we want those guys in it.

853
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 4: And then then they're in it. We're bitching about it.

854
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 6: Ye's Billy in Kansas City, right, and we all want

855
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 6: new teams, and when they're coming, like, oh, great Way

856
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 6: and Sam Donald, Yes, Philly he was.

857
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 4: But I look at the other thing. They were the

858
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 4: most consistent teams all year.

859
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 6: One could have been the MVP missed by both the

860
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 6: others played us out of his mind for two straight years,

861
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 6: and Sam both defenses around of him mind. Both coaches

862
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 6: are hardcore grinders. Both teams are physical. Seattle's got a

863
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 6: better roster Jackson Smith and Jig was a phenomenal time.

864
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 6: I mean got every element. I don't care what NBC

865
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 6: says about TV rais. I care about good football. Yes,

866
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 6: I'm with you, but I get it. But we complain

867
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 6: when we don't get the other side. I think it's

868
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 6: going to be a closer game. I think this is

869
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 6: a field goal game because I don't think either team

870
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 6: usually beats themselves. This year, both quarterbacks have been fantastic.

871
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 6: Sam's learned to make the boring play. Drake May's out

872
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 6: of his mind. The one thing that passing game is

873
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 6: going to have to rear its head bigger in New

874
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 6: England in this game. If New England is one dimensional

875
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 6: in this game, whether it's throwing or running, they will

876
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 6: get beat.

877
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 3: I agree.

878
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 6: Now, the obvious is if one quarterback throws four picks,

879
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 6: well guess what the other team's winning unless the other

880
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 6: guy throws four as well. So that's the obvious. But

881
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 6: keys is keep an eye on the dimensions of New England.

882
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 6: Will they will they will they abandon one part of

883
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 6: their game. They have got to have running either. If

884
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 6: it's not successful. You got to You got to do both.

885
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 6: You can't let the game get out of hand. Secondly,

886
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 6: for Seattle, their front seven can take over a game.

887
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 6: They want to beat you physically. I think Donald realizes

888
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 6: he doesn't have to make every play to win, and

889
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 6: Drake May is a player. For me, it's going to

890
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 6: come down and it's the Patriots underrated defensive unit.

891
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 4: Can you generate enough.

892
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 6: Enough problems for Darnald to feel like he has to

893
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 6: make the place because he started to settle in here

894
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 6: in the postseason.

895
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 4: So for me, Seattle and a close one got.

896
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 6: The I think it's like twenty four to twenty three

897
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 6: to twenty one type of game, and I think it'll

898
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 6: be ugly at times. But I can't wait to see

899
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 6: how these both these young quarterbacks and Sam's been in

900
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 6: a longer, but.

901
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 4: This is new to him too. How they deal with it.

902
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 6: His resilience through all that he's been through will serve

903
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 6: him well. On Sunday, give me Seattle by a field goal,

904
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 6: and I am jacked about it.

905
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: Because I want to see how these young quarterbacks deal

906
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 4: with it.

907
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 6: I think Seattle can make New England one dimension, one

908
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 6: dimension first team to twenty four wins.

909
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 4: I think it's.

910
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 3: Seattle outstanding work.

911
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: Apologize for the problems early, and we appreciate all your contributions.

912
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: Again.

913
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: This year will probably give you some time to rest

914
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: because I know you've got a lot of other stuff

915
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: to do.

916
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: But hopefully stay in touch.

917
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: His stories develop and we maybe get back to the

918
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 2: quarterback discosus and who else the Vikings might be able

919
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 2: to put into the mix, because they clearly want to

920
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: bring a veteran here as well. So we'll try to

921
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 2: stay in touch intermittently if that works for you.

922
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 4: Brother, I'm here for you.

923
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 6: I appreciate everything, the great fans, everybody, everything you do,

924
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 6: and that you invite me in. And you know it's

925
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 6: special for me because it's the place I played most

926
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 6: of my career and.

927
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 4: You always make it easy. Man. I'm honored to do it,

928
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 4: and I'm here anytime you need you.

929
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: Thanks man, have a great weekend. Thanks brother, Thank you

930
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 2: Sean Salisbury kind enough to join us. Predictions generally are

931
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 2: three point thirty, but with the schedule change today, we're

932
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: going to take a short pause and then we're going

933
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,040
