Speaker 2: this guy was a world champ at one, yeah, unified,

218
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,720

Speaker 2: told and told him, knocked him down and lost the fight.

220

228
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 7: knocked him out. But yeah, even though I lost, it

229
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,360

00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 2: because we have break times posted on the wall.

319
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: And here's my response. They're not for this show.

320
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: We're the only ones who actually listens to it.

321
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: That's why they're posted. Because the other three shows refuse

322
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: to follow the break times. They just don't. And you know,

323
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I guess it's sort of like the Wolves just lazy, Yeah,

324
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: stupid or bold. No, the Wolves lazy and they're bored

325
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: and stuff like that and just but they still win, right,

326
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: and they probably make the playoffskin the other shows do

327
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: just fine, but they don't break.

328
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: We always break.

329
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, We're the only show, right, We're

330
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: the only show I'm aware of.

331
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: Unless the other ones do this.

332
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't listen to the radio a lot, certainly not

333
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: sixty three thousand minutes a year like one of our

334
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: one of our listeners.

335
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's nothing. We had people posting on social media

336
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten thousands.

337
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: Holy but if you like, that's listening all day long.

338
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: If you start to break that down over three hundred

339
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: and sixty five days, that's like six hours a day.

340
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 2: So that's because this person was three hours a day.

341
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 2: We figured, yeah, it was three hours, so you're right,

342
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: that double that would be it's crazy. And if they're

343
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: not listening on the weekends, they're listening. I love those

344
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: people so very much.

345
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Gosh, yes, so you might hear us. I think we're

346
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: the only show.

347
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: I don't listen to the radio enough where we you know,

348
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: all the shows, I think bumping back in auto at

349
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: commercial break with music. We bump out of a segment

350
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: with music to go into the break, so.

351
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: That keeps you on time.

352
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: It keeps me on time. It's like I got a

353
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: break here, so so that's why.

354
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: So yes, we do have those up there.

355
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: It's it's it seems like those guys as far as

356
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: clock management, it's their first day on the job, and yeah,

357
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm calling them out on it, and it's like.

358
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: Start breaking on times. It's not that hard to do.

359
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: But I guess what happens is they think what they

360
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: have to say is so imported.

361
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: I just can't stop talking.

362
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: You know.

363
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: People have to hear what I have to say.

364
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: Just go to a break and then pick up you

365
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: and I are thrilled to have to go to break

366
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: and I can get my lunch ready, run out of

367
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: the restroom, go bother salespeople who will go raid some

368
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: candy dishes.

369
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: It's it's it's what I do. You just passed along

370
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: a story to me.

371
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: From the athletic Ken Rosenthal, who's a national baseball writer

372
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: very plugged in, does.

373
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: TV the whole thing.

374
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: He writes all those fans waiting for their teams to

375
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: acquire one of the Minnesota Twins stars.

376
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: Probably can forget it the Twins.

377
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: The Twins do not anticipate moving center field or Bybrant

378
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: Buxton or right handers Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez. According

379
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: to the league sources briefed on their plans, Minnesota's goals

380
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: to keep those players, build around them, and compete in

381
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. They also said they were I need

382
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: to sell the team. So I take this with a

383
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: grain of salt. But apparently, according to Rosenthal, league sources

384
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: have been briefed on their plans. And I don't know

385
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: who those league sources are. They other general managers who've inquired,

386
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, Hey.

387
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's coming from the Twins. That could be

388
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: from the Twins, but it just.

389
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: Says league sources.

390
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: So I'm just I'm just assuming that if he didn't

391
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: mention it, and the possibilities could be directly from the Twins,

392
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: could be other general managers have called and said, hey,

393
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: wondering if you'd like to part ways, and Byron Buckstenter

394
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: or Lopez or Ryan and said, no, we're not.

395
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: We're we're keeping them. But you're right, it probably came

396
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: from the Twins, but we don't know.

397
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: It's not impossible to compete in twenty twenty six, I

398
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: guess even after the fire sale. Those are three pretty

399
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: good cornerstones. I mean, if Buxton, you know, there's a

400
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: lot of ifs. If Buxton can stay healthy again like

401
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: he did last year and play like he did last year,

402
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: that's a nice piece to have in center field.

403
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: Those two at the top of your rotation.

404
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: If Lopez can get healthy, because didn't he spend a

405
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: couple of stints. Didn't they shut him down at the

406
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: end of the year. I know we missed some time

407
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: during year and then I thought they shut him down again,

408
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: But he definitely had an injury issue, and I think

409
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: he'd been relatively healthy with us.

410
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: I don't remember him in his years here or ever.

411
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Having be shut down.

412
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: But when he is on, and he's usually is, He's

413
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: a quality pitcher, there is no question. And so is

414
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan.

415
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: So those are three nice pieces, foundational pieces.

416
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: We have a handful of other guys that have shown

417
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: promise but no consistency.

418
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: We're talking about the.

419
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: Brooks Lee kid, the Royce Lewis, and there's one or

420
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 2: two others I think tenaby that I can't recall their

421
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: names right now. That have shown flashes, but never have

422
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 2: done it game after game, week after week, month or

423
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: even year after year. I know we're alleged loaded with prospects,

424
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: but you know how those are prospects.

425
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: It takes a while.

426
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: I mean, are are they going to bring those prospects

427
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: up and they're gonna be able to play at a

428
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: at a really high level in twenty twenty six? That's

429
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: this upcoming year, folks. When they say compete twenty twenty six,

430
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: that's next year. I find that hard to believe. Stranger

431
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: things have happened. Look, we all remember ninety one Worse

432
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: to first in nineteen ninety they were the worst team

433
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, or at least in the American League.

434
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 3: I don't reorca off as all of baseball.

435
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: They had a terrible record, and then they went on

436
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: and won the World Serious, so things can't happen. But

437
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: they had a pretty strong nucleus in ninety one, as

438
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: you remember. We all know the names Led my guy

439
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: with Puckett and Herbic and many others.

440
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 4: Right, So.

441
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what to think.

442
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: I feel regardless of what they do, like it's a

443
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: hopeless situation. Yeah, yeah, Like from a pr standpoint, this

444
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: is the right move for them because I think they

445
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: know as much as you want to save money like that,

446
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: that money ain't coming back in. If you get rid

447
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: of those stars and the fan base is then they

448
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: might turn on you forever. Right And now if you

449
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: keep them, well, you're still not going to go out

450
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: and spend money to supplement the roster.

451
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: Right.

452
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Those guys are good quality players, but it's not enough

453
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: to get you to the playoffs win a couple of rounds.

454
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: You still need others to join them. And they're not

455
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: going to go out and spend to go get those guys.

456
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 2: So I don't think they are. Yeah, it'd be shocking

457
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: if they did. I mean, because they've just not done that.

458
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: I mean they've spent money before, never you know, you know,

459
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: top of the heat money, but they've they their payrolls

460
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: pushed a little bit. But yeah, it's it's on track

461
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: right now. I think if the season started today, they're

462
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: probably under one hundred million.

463
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're at ninety five right now.

464
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so.

465
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: You're right about the fan base would be even more discouraged,

466
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 2: more bitter, angry.

467
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: But if you have a master plan, I'm not even

468
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 3: saying it's gonna work.

469
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: But if you had a master plan where we'll get

470
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: more prospects for these because we're we're being realistic.

471
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: It ain't happened in twenty twenty six.

472
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: We need to get some prospects, build it up, and

473
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: hopefully be ready twenty seven to twenty eight, twenty nine.

474
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: If you really felt that way, sometimes you just got

475
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 2: to say, I know we're going to get You got

476
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: to do what you feel deep down is right for

477
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: the franchise long term.

478
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 3: Even in the short term you get a lot of pushback,

479
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: in a lot of anger.

480
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: I do wonder how much maybe Byron Bucksen had plays

481
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: in this right, because this is kind of a little

482
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: bit of a heel turn here, because it went from

483
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: Byron bucks this summer's like I want to be here forever,

484
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, blah blah, and then it went to reportedly,

485
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: if they sell more big pieces, he's gone, right, and

486
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: then last week it was Byron bucks is willing to

487
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: move a wave as no trade clause, which to me

488
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: means they were shopping one or the other two. And

489
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: I do wonder if the twins go if we sell

490
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: one of these two, we're now getting rid of all

491
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: of them, and we just pr wise, you can't take

492
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: the hit of getting rid of all three because if

493
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the other two are gone, or one of them's gone,

494
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: then Buckston wants to go, and you can't lose all

495
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: of them. Well, the only so I wonder if to

496
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: get player pressure right, Well, part of the point I was.

497
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: Trying to make though a little bit of pushback, and

498
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: then I think your theory spot on.

499
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: But what I was also saying, if as a franchise, you.

500
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: Think getting rid of all three to a crew really

501
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: high end what's considered high end young talent, you know, prospects,

502
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: then if you believe that's really the way to go,

503
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: you can't worry about what the fan base says.

504
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 4: You have to do it.

505
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: But that's easier said than done, too, because of tickets toms.

506
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: The fan base can see through it that they're not

507
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: doing that for winning purposes. They're doing it to cut salary, right, and.

508
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: That's because of what they've done to themselves.

509
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: Even if that wasn't fair, even if they were saying,

510
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: you know, we've decided to keep the team and we're

511
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: going to build the thing up so we're ready.

512
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: In twenty seven to twenty eight, twenty nine. But you're right.

513
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: The fan base wouldn't believe it.

514
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: They're going, No, you're not.

515
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: You're just doing it to save money, because that's what

516
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: you've done, because you're you tell those yeah, and that's what.

517
00:27:59,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: You've always done.

518
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: So even if you even if you were planning to

519
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: try to go to strip it to the brass tacks

520
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: or whatever and the studs and then build a backup,

521
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: most people wouldn't believe it that they know you're just

522
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: doing that, not because you have some grand master plan.

523
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: You're just doing it to save money and hope people

524
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: still show up. So, but that's the word from Ken Rowsenthal.

525
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: He's pretty plugged, and he says league source like you say,

526
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: could be coming from the Twins directly, but.

527
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: It's it's going to be difficult for that franch.

528
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll do what I always do every twin

529
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: season tend to be it starts in March, right late March,

530
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: usually that first week in March or whatever. Then we

531
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, you run through not a lot to weather's

532
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: just starting to change here, A lot of afternoon games.

533
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I get off the grumm at three, go home, I

534
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: turn it out.

535
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: I watch a little bit and watched baseball in a while,

536
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: and you watch the first few games of the season

537
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: or a few innings of it.

538
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: So I'll do that.

539
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: But then more than likely the team will struggle in

540
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: the standings at the ballpark, and then I'll be out,

541
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: and so a lot of other people.

542
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: And then do we still know how you watch them?

543
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 6: I still do.

544
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: I just know that I have direct TV, and so

545
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: I get it there. I don't know, but I know

546
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: that other people have trouble finding the team on TV.

547
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, with that familiar Yeah, and that's I don't

548
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: know what they pay the month for that, but.

549
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So well, maybe cooler heads prevailed because I think

550
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe it's fan pushback that's making me could

551
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: very well be. I just think the PR hit would

552
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: have been traumatic, Yeah, and they wouldn't have been able

553
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to recover. I mean, your attendance would have gone as

554
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: bad as it was last year, would have gotten even worse.

555
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: Would it really even make a difference at this point,

556
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 2: I think with a lot of fans it doesn't even

557
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: make a difference. I think they're so worn out and

558
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: beat up, but that they're just like, well, I know

559
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: there is I don't know how many of that is.

560
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what percentage of the fan basers, but

561
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: I know from the text messages I get and reading

562
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: some of the message boards, there are some fans that

563
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: are so far gone it wouldn't matter what they're doing.

564
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: Sure, they're just done. But yeah, but I also think

565
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: there's a good chunk of the fan base that's always

566
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: been pro Twins, pro pole as. I think they're starting

567
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: to turn in which they hadn't turned for a long time.

568
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think you're right.

569
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: But if they would have traded them all because they

570
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: felt that was the right thing to do to compete

571
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: several years down the road, then you have to do that.

572
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: Apparently they don't feel that way, because if it sounds

573
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: like they're not going to trade them.

574
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how you build around three guys.

575
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: It's really difficult to You look at some of the

576
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: other teams in the league, and I know, I look,

577
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: I get it.

578
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: There's there's.

579
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: There's no salary cap and no floor and I understand that,

580
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: and so and you know, until I'm I'm not even

581
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: just blue in the face, I've I've stopped breathing when

582
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: it comes to talking about that Paula's have enough wealth,

583
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and I know this debt and all that,

584
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: but they got the money if they really wanted, if

585
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: they want to do investing ball players, they can, but

586
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: they don't want to do it. A lot of other

587
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: teams don't either. A lot of other teams won't dig

588
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: into their own pockets. So it is harder to part

589
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: to h to compete against the larger market teams.

590
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: But you can do it.

591
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: And as we have always said all along, and it's

592
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: over the In all the times I've watched the Twins

593
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: since I was a little kid until now, there have

594
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: been certain seasons or two or three seasons.

595
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: One you go, this team's pretty good. They got a

596
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: nice lot of it.

597
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Like we've always said, we'll go out and fortified the

598
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: line up with there's one or two guys, go with

599
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: the trade deadline or going into the season, go bye, gosh,

600
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna get We're gonna re sign Sonny Gray for

601
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: crying out lone. We're gonna go with three big pit

602
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: time pitchers. But they've never done that, and I think

603
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: that's what annoys teams fans more than.

604
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Anything, because the ones. They'd even agree that.

605
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: Were media market team.

606
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: All they want to see is you every once in

607
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: a while when it does look like the team is

608
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: really close and can go toe to toe, maybe another

609
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: piece or two.

610
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 6: You've got the.

611
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: Money, you can do it, and they've just never won. Well,

612
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: that's why they got turned on, because they they finally

613
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: won a playoff series and then cut payrolext.

614
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: That's exactly where it happened. That's where it really got bad.

615
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: And for those of us that have known, they've been

616
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: doing that for years, it's out in the open. Now,

617
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: it's out in the open.

618
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: It's just you know, the cake.

00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: tend me, but I'm gonna ask you anyways, do you

630
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: watch the Big Ten Championship? Number One Ohio, the number

631
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: one the against number two Indiana tomorrow night.

632
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, I yes, no, we got the two hockey tournaments

633
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: going on this weekend, said a little, a little busy if.

634
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: You had it all the time, if you had no

635
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: hockey tournament, you were at home with the roaring fire,

636
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: would you watch it?

637
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: If there were other things on right?

638
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: Like?

639
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: I think probably the Wild play that night. I'd rather

640
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: watch the Wild but sure, but you really wouldn't. I'm

641
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: not like it's not It's not DVR television for me.

642
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I gotta record it so I can watch it later.

643
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: It's must see TV. It's not appointment TV for me.

644
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: It's must sy for me.

645
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a big college football guy in general.

646
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: I never was either intil my boys both went to

647
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: college in both our football fans. So I've watched a

648
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: lot of Nebraska foot I watched almost every Nebraska game

649
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: in the past four years.

650
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: I know Sad really.

651
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: Watched almost all of the football games for the The

652
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: other added part to this is I just like the

653
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: Indiana story.

654
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean that.

655
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: That's been a basketball school forever. I don't ever remember

656
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: I remember nineteen. I'm told I don't remember it. I

657
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: just know that in nineteen sixty seven, I think Indiana

658
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 2: went to the Rose Bowl because they shared the Big

659
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: Ten title with the Minnesota Golden Golvers, and the Govers

660
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: were the most recent team to play in the Rose

661
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: Bowl from between the two of them, and so then

662
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: Indiana got to go. So they've not been any good.

663
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: The signetty guy googled me that whole thing. I think

664
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: it's interesting and I am curious to see how good

665
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: Indiana is. There have been some that says, well, you know,

666
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 2: they haven't really played anybody, but you know, really, who

667
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 2: is Ohio State played? You know, I mean they played

668
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: other good teams in the Big Ten. I guess Ohio

669
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: State started. These started out with Tech just to start

670
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 2: the season.

671
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, and they're saying about Indiana, who have

672
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: they played? Yeah, and they win an Oregon? Yeah that

673
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: was Yeah, they did win an Oregon. That's a big

674
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: win there. But I still think people, you know, you

675
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: look at the Big Ten, there's four or five good, good,

676
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: good teams. I mean USC is ranked, but you look

677
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: at the Oregon. Penn State certainly wasn't the team that

678
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be. So I will certainly.

679
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: Tune in for that game Vikings on Sunday. I know

680
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: you'll be wrapped attention there. You work every game covered.

681
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: I like to be taking that game off, but oh

682
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: you are.

683
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

684
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: Last weekends I've had. Yeah, we had two hockey tournaments

685
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: last week and two hockey tourmans this weekend.

686
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: Wow.

687
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: So Zach, Zach, I will be filling in form.

688
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: Why don't you start scheduling hockey tournaments in early September

689
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: right until the end of December.

690
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: I'd like, I'd like that.

691
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: Why don't you start doing that?

692
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: For me, it's it's beyond wins and losses, because once

693
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: you're out of the playoff picture, what's the difference, right, I.

694
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: Mean, it's better to win than lose. It'd be nice

695
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: to see one for me.

696
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: I think, like, and I think I don't know if

697
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: you'd agree with this if you feel the same way

698
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: for me, it's most a like to see a little

699
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: bit of progress from the quarterback. Well that's for me,

700
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: that's it more, that's that's that's the cure. Yeah, that's

701
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: the curiosity I think, Jeff j Justiniferson more than four yards, right,

702
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: that's the curiosity factor that brings me to the game.

703
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: It's like, is this kid, and especially now we know

704
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: they're going to simplify it. They basically told him we

705
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: were wrong about trying to drill all these mechanics into

706
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 2: your head. Why don't you just go out and play?

707
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: And I'm curious to see if that will make a difference.

708
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure it will, because if you'll remember,

709
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: the kid came out.

710
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 3: With the I'm nine.

711
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, he basically like you, is Spider Man, you know,

712
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: he just he has it, he has an alter ego.

713
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 2: Then it was it's close, the quirk's about to pop

714
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: off bottle, and then that didn't either.

715
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: So he talks a good game. He's got confidence.

716
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: Apparently sounds like he's got plenty of it, at least

717
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: outwardly publicly he does.

718
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how he feels deep down inside.

719
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: But here's another here's another time where I'm saying, well, no, now,

720
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: this time, this is what it's been doing. I've been overthinking.

721
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: This has been the problem. I'm an overthinker. I hope

722
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: he's right. I'd love to see him just just spin

723
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: it and throw it all around the grid iron, have

724
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 2: a good game.

725
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: But I'm not so sure. I'm curious to see what

726
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: the play calling will look like, right because I think

727
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: the play calling shows how much confidence the coach has

728
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: in the quarterback. Because back when Max Brozmer started against Seattle,

729
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: screen passesn't him. They had the training wheels on him,

730
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: like we're gonna run the ball in first down, we're

731
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball in second down, and then we're

732
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw a little wide receiver screen pass, easy pass

733
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: to complete, and they were trying to piece their way

734
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: to move in the change.

735
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: Here's my guesses they won't do that with McCarthy though.

736
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: I think they because they I think also not that

737
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: he's about to leave the team or demand a trade,

738
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: but McCarthy's.

739
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: Probably you talk about you know, we talked about the Finch,

740
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: talk about the Wolves.

741
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 3: They seem like they're bored. I think he's probably get

742
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: to the point where he's getting bored.

743
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: He's running pass panners, not catching anything he has and

744
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: had nearly the targets or the receptions or the productivity

745
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: he's used to. So I think you have to take

746
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 2: that into consideration a little bit too. It's like when

747
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: we got to get these wide outs, and well, let's

748
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: start let's get and as we know, that's the kind

749
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: of offense the coach likes. He loves throwing the ball

750
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: vertically down the field, and that's what you want this

751
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: kid to eventually do. And so if you're telling him

752
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: to just go out and play football, don't worry about

753
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: the mechanics, just go and have fun.

754
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: I think you do do that.

755
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: I would hope it's not a bland I mean, I

756
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: don't think he has to very first play the game throw,

757
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, try try to throw a you know, forty

758
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: yard passed down field.

759
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: But I hope they don't just screen pass.

760
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: And let him throw.

761
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: Let them play and have something ultimately at the end

762
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: of your memory. We got to push back from listeners

763
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: of when we're having the discussion of Carson Wentz versus

764
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, and they said, you got to play JJ,

765
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: because you got to know what you got right right?

766
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Well you you and I were like, well, you're still

767
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: in a position to win games and get to the playoffs.

768
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: You got to play what gives you the best chance

769
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: to win now it is you got to know what

770
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: you got. You we got to see what we got,

771
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: and you have five weeks. JJ McCarthy's playing for his

772
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: job next year. I know Rosen said, Oh, you'd be

773
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: fine with JJ McCarthy starting to see the next year

774
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: if he keeps playing the next five weeks like he

775
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: did previously, they're going and getting somebody out well, for sure. Absolutely,

776
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: So So to your point, you kind of got to

777
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: see him in Koc's offensive to know what you got.

778
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: If you're trying to dumb it down for him, are

779
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: you really going to see what you got?

780
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: And I think I don't know, and maybe I'm wrong

781
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: on this, but I think one aspect that a lot

782
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 2: of people don't consider his ownership.

783
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 3: What do the wils think about all this?

784
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: They spent a lot of money, They love the club,

785
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: their fans first, they've said, so. I think somebody sent

786
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: me an email that said the Vikings have as many

787
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: playoff wins in the past fifteen years as the New

788
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: York Jets.

789
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: So just it had like two back to back years

790
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: the championship camp. So there's not.

791
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: And so when you've been to own the team, I

792
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 2: think that Wilson owned it for print their twenty years,

793
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: you know, something like twenty years, and your organization cut,

794
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 2: you know, your front office and your coaching staffs. This

795
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: is what we're gonna do. We're gonna let Sam Darnold go.

796
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know what the Wilson thing.

797
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: They might have went, well, he was pretty good. Why

798
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 2: are we getting rid of him? Because we need money

799
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: for the interior, the offensive defensive line, and we think

800
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: we can McCarthy's answer, We're gonna coach him.

801
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: U We're gonna be ready to go.

802
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 2: And they go, okay, story franchise, National Football League.

803
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: And then they see what happened this year. You know,

804
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 3: they can't be happy.

805
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: But how much they have influence on what they want

806
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: the team to do and push the team in certain directions,

807
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, But they can't be real pleased with

808
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: what happened here coming off of last year season. And

809
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: then you go a different way with the quarterback that

810
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: played really well and blah blah blah. But yeah, I

811
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,319
