Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I've
Speaker 2: just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. And
Speaker 2: I need all of you to stop what you're doing
Speaker 2: and listen.
Speaker 1: All right, quick correction.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: So I Googled, you know, like, what's that ball from
Speaker 4: Kingpin worth? And there were multiple articles saying in 2024
Speaker 4: it was $ 37, 000.
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 4: Well, a quick second AI search. Because I was like, hey,
Speaker 4: is this thing ever going up for auction again? Well,
Speaker 4: then it told me. When those articles were posted, that
Speaker 4: was the current bid. That's not what it sold for.
Speaker 4: What do you think the bowling ball from Kingpin with
Speaker 4: the rose in it sold for at auction in 2024?
Speaker 4: With the rose in.
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: No. We don't make fun of him anymore. Arrivederci. Making
Speaker 1: fun of Rosie.
Speaker 5: I just, I didn't have a leg to stand on here.
Speaker 4: What would you think here?
Speaker 1: So what was the one that she said?
Speaker 4: The current bid was $ 37, 000 when there were a couple
Speaker 4: of articles going, hey, this is up for auction. I
Speaker 4: thought it was the final bid. It was not the
Speaker 4: final bid.
Speaker 1: I bet it got up to $ 69, 420, Corey. Not a
Speaker 1: bad guess.
Speaker 6: Sauce?
Speaker 4: Uh....
Speaker 1: Dude. Let me say it like this.
Speaker 4: You know, during the break, I'm like, man, if it's 37K,
Speaker 4: if this thing ever comes up for auction again, maybe
Speaker 4: I should just buy it. It'd be a good bit.
Speaker 4: I'd get my money back at some point if I
Speaker 4: sold it on the road. Maybe I'll just do this.
Speaker 4: This number is a no.
Speaker 5: $ 100, 000. No, it's got to be more than that.
Speaker 4: $ 1.
Speaker 5: 2 million. $ 350, 000 for the bowling ball campaign.
Speaker 1: You can buy it.
Speaker 4: 350k my god that's all right so let's go back
Speaker 4: to what we said last segment if you paid 350
Speaker 4: 000 for it not 37k would you still take it
Speaker 4: to your weekly bowling league yes would you really.
Speaker 6: It's the only you can't damage it it's not like
Speaker 6: a guitar like you couldn't buy uh you know the
Speaker 6: guitar that he played in uh uh Starsborne and play
Speaker 6: it because you would damage it by playing it.
Speaker 4: Would the ball, though, get scuffs and scrapes and scratches?
Speaker 4: Would that still be the same value five or ten
Speaker 4: years later? If you're a kingpin diehard and you're like,
Speaker 4: I still want it?
Speaker 5: If you rolled with it, it's probably already got scratches
Speaker 5: on it now.
Speaker 1: Maybe. Could you charge people? Oh, yeah. Only balls. Yeah, onlyballs.com.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll have to buy that from me. What?
Speaker 5: He's got the domain. $ 350, 000.
Speaker 4: That's a lot.
Speaker 1: What if they throw in some cheese curds?
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
Speaker 1: Did you buy that?
Speaker 4: I paid $ 37, 000 for cheese curds, but I will tonight, willingly.
Speaker 4: What really matters, though, is that we do news.
Speaker 5: You got that right, buddy, because let me tell you,
Speaker 5: the Saints are all in them.

Speaker 4: Sauce, did you not learn from the Sesame Street characters
Speaker 4: at all?
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, yeah. Such as? The Cookie Monster guy.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: You learn how to count to five. From who? The count.
Speaker 8: I learned a valuable lesson from Bert and Ernie.
Speaker 1: Which was?
Speaker 8: It's okay to live with your male buddy.
Speaker 1: That's what they were doing. They were great. I loved them.
Speaker 1: Bert and Ernie are awesome.
Speaker 8: There's one in the book. My son has this book
Speaker 8: full of Sesame Street characters. There's like two of them.
Speaker 8: I don't know who they are. And they're in the
Speaker 8: book a lot. It's one that kind of looks like
Speaker 8: Cookie Monster.
Speaker 4: What are their names?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: How many times have you read this book?
Speaker 5: I think it's Bart and Lisa. He's got the wrong book.
Speaker 1: I point out the pictures. We look at the pictures.
Speaker 1: So you're skipping the words. We didn't read.
Speaker 4: No, we're just pointing out the pictures. He loves Elmo,
Speaker 4: but he calls Elmo mama. Why don't you read to him?
Speaker 4: You know, that's part of the process is him hearing
Speaker 4: the words.
Speaker 5: Read it, baby.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what the hell is going on either.
Speaker 1: He calls Elmo mama.
Speaker 5: You said?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. There's a few pages in the book where
Speaker 1: Elmo is dressed as a woman. That's right. What book
Speaker 1: are you reading? It's an Elmo Sesame Street.
Speaker 8: It's like an old, it's like a book from like the,
Speaker 8: I think it was like 82.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4: It was right after Tootsie. Everybody was cross-dressing. All your
Speaker 4: hands up.
Speaker 1: Tootsie.
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to ask if you would
Speaker 4: bang a female Elmo.
Speaker 1: No, Tootsie would not.
Speaker 4: Was Elmo even around in 82? What year did Elmo start?
Speaker 4: Because he was a later edition.
Speaker 3: 1980.
Speaker 6: 80, okay.
Speaker 1: Season 11.
Speaker 8: It's an old school book. And it's like he's, you know,
Speaker 8: but he loves it. He likes just going through and
Speaker 8: pointing at the picture.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what dad does. He ain't got time to read.
Speaker 1: Dad's skipping the words too. Yeah, I read to him.
Speaker 1: What do you read to him? Tolstoy? He loves that
Speaker 1: one book.
Speaker 5: Tolhouse?
Speaker 1: Love Me Forever.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: And some cookies that hit the spot.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he loves, like, I'll Love You Forever.
Speaker 8: And it's the picture of, like, the kid making the
Speaker 8: mess on the cover, and then by the end of it,
Speaker 8: the kid's taking care of the mom. I can't read
Speaker 8: it because I cry every time, but he loves that.
Speaker 8: Just point out the pictures.
Speaker 5: You cry because you can't read.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, son.
Speaker 8: We're going to have to wait for mom. Grandpa is
Speaker 8: over at Hawk's again.
Speaker 6: He's cross-eyed now.
Speaker 5: A little hard. A little hard.
Speaker 1: A little hard.
Speaker 4: Well, he also stares at the cat art like it's
Speaker 4: a magic eye poster.
Speaker 8: My dad's cross-eyed because you hammered him too hard?
Speaker 4: You don't know where the line is, dude. You can't
Speaker 4: see that.
Speaker 1: So now he's cross-eyed? Well, pray for him to be uncross-eyed.
Speaker 1: You don't get it. You are correct. I do not.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm employed. What happened?
Speaker 5: That was a hell of a journey we just went on.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm praying for your dad to not be cross-eyed anymore.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Currently, is it?
Speaker 5: No, so with you.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 5: Listen to this. This dude got struck by lightning.
Speaker 9: This is the moment a bolt of lightning strikes a
Speaker 9: man on New York's Staten Island. Caught on camera. You
Speaker 9: can see the flash of light. Then resident Thomas Fahmy drops.
Speaker 1: To the ground. Excuse me?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Excuse me, everybody. Hey, guys.
Speaker 4: Start it over.
Speaker 5: She'll say it again in a minute.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute.
Speaker 5: It's his name.
Speaker 1: Thomas what?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say it. It's his name.
Speaker 1: Signed, a resident's home. Can I come in, please?
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 4: Yes, please.
Speaker 1: Come.
Speaker 4: Come.
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: They say lightning doesn't strike twice.
Speaker 5: I hope not.
Speaker 1: I hope not.
Speaker 9: Today, fuck me.
Speaker 8: That's what he screamed when.
Speaker 4: He got struck by lightning.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 5: It's his name.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 4: We're getting trolled. This ain't real.
Speaker 1: No, this is an onion story.
Speaker 2: It's on NBC News.
Speaker 5: First thing I first saw was just a white flash.
Speaker 1: What did it feel like?
Speaker 5: I felt like my feet, I was walking on balloons.
Speaker 5: It was really, really in pain.
Speaker 1: Numbing, tingling feeling down there.
Speaker 5: It was a sensation I had never felt.
Speaker 1: Ever in my life.
Speaker 9: Fakhmi was treated for only minor injuries.
Speaker 1: She's doing it on purpose. She's doing it on purpose.
Speaker 1: Come on. That's not his name.
Speaker 8: The police hung up when they called because they were like,
Speaker 8: this is a prank call.
Speaker 1: Is this Howard Stern?
Speaker 4: He's doing a troll job, and they fell for it.
Speaker 4: There's no way.
Speaker 1: This is his time.
Speaker 9: Survival after other lightning strikes this summer ended in tragedy,
Speaker 9: with 13 fatalities recorded nationwide so far this year.
Speaker 5: How about that? 13 nationwide.
Speaker 1: Jeez.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Poor that guy.
Speaker 5: Poor Thomas.
Speaker 1: I think I've seen that film before.
Speaker 7: When Deputy Fahmy comes to the door.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1: And he doesn't have the pizza. Weird. No, because he's
Speaker 1: a police officer.
Speaker 5: Oh, man.
Speaker 1: I'm not really here today.
Speaker 5: You said he was a police officer.
Speaker 1: I'm not smart. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: You would be smart if you read the words in
Speaker 4: the books.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We do read books. You're just pointing at the photo.
Speaker 6: And poor Louie wouldn't have to say that guy's name
Speaker 6: every time he messed up.
Speaker 8: Oh, oh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that.
Speaker 4: Speaking of what? The F word.
Speaker 1: Go on. Which one? I have a short temper. Penis.
Speaker 1: And penis. Oh, no. A short temper. And penis. So
Speaker 1: my son.
Speaker 8: Louie, has in his room a diaper bag where we
Speaker 8: put the dirty diapers and you can close it off
Speaker 8: so it doesn't stank like, you know, Hawk's dad's favorite smell.
Speaker 5: All right. Poop.
Speaker 9: That's crap, man.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Dwight.
Speaker 8: And I take it out because I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 8: making my wife do it. It's a disgusting job because
Speaker 8: half the time the bag's ripped.
Speaker 1: It reeks. It's awful.
Speaker 4: How long is this story going to take?
Speaker 5: By the way, we all know how poop smells.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we know how poop smells. We know what a
Speaker 4: diaper bag is. You're adding details that nobody cares about.
Speaker 4: Get to the point of the story.
Speaker 1: Sorry i'm telling you a story i'm sorry my words.
Speaker 4: Bother so hang on your son's room has like what
Speaker 4: four walls and there's a door to get in and
Speaker 4: out of it does the door swing yeah i don't
Speaker 4: know how do you get the light sound or is
Speaker 4: it just complete darkness there's a light switch oh unbelievable
Speaker 4: why didn't you mention that just hold on i'm.
Speaker 7: Sorry did you fix the light there No, Hero Home
Speaker 7: Services came over and fixed the light for me.
Speaker 1: He's dead.
Speaker 5: Did you show him your bugs?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: On my leg?
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 4: So anyway, you're in your son's room, and what happened?
Speaker 5: The poop smelled bad.
Speaker 4: Man, that's crap.
Speaker 5: I'm leaving over.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to get this son of a bitch bag out,
Speaker 8: and I can't.
Speaker 5: I bet your jugs are just bad.
Speaker 8: Why can't you get it out? They're scraping the floor. Um,
Speaker 8: because it's, it's, it's in, it's tucked away in the corner.
Speaker 5: What are you doing?
Speaker 8: It's not just out in the open. Cause we, it's,
Speaker 8: it's kind of an eyesore cause it stinks.
Speaker 1: Sure. Why not?
Speaker 4: It's an eyesore because it's.
Speaker 1: Kind of a cool piece of equipment. Just hold on.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go into this much detail.
Speaker 4: Even when Louie's not around, could you start reading Sesame
Speaker 4: street books? Left to right, top to bottom, page one
Speaker 4: to the end.
Speaker 1: Just practice.
Speaker 5: You're giving me an ear sore.
Speaker 1: My God.
Speaker 4: It's an eye.
Speaker 1: Sore because it stinks. Bizarre. Those are two different senses.
Speaker 1: You know what? Never mind.
Speaker 5: Oh, no, you're not going to.
Speaker 4: Don't rob us from this ending.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I couldn't get it out. I kept pulling on it.
Speaker 8: It was kind of kitty wampus, and I finally got
Speaker 8: it out, and I pulled my head up, and I
Speaker 8: hit the top of, like, one of the things in
Speaker 8: his room.
Speaker 4: One of the things in his room?
Speaker 8: It's in the closet, and there's, like, shelves. I hit
Speaker 8: one of the shelves at the back of my head.
Speaker 4: It hurt.
Speaker 1: I loudly yelled the F word. Come on now. He
Speaker 1: repeated it. Not a good move by me. So I
Speaker 1: got to stop saying the F word around the house.
Speaker 1: I don't want your life.
Speaker 8: I know, but I love my life and I'm glad
Speaker 8: I'm here because you guys are great. The story could
Speaker 8: have easily been, I said the F word and my
Speaker 8: son repeated it.
Speaker 4: 100%. It could have been, yeah, I accidentally hit my
Speaker 4: head on a shelf, said the F word. He immediately
Speaker 4: repeated it. It felt terrible. But instead, you explained the
Speaker 4: concept of poop smelling bad, what a diaper bag is,
Speaker 4: what your son's room looks like, all of the chores
Speaker 4: your wife does and does not do.
Speaker 1: What a wild ride.
Speaker 4: You used the word kittywampus in there at one point?
Speaker 8: I did.
Speaker 5: I was impressed.
Speaker 1: Don't some people say cattywampus?
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 4: Which one is technically correct, or are they both interchangeable?
Speaker 1: No idea.
Speaker 5: I think it's kitty.
Speaker 4: I've always said kitty as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's kitty. I wonder.
Speaker 5: Hmm. Come on now.
Speaker 4: It's an eyesore because it smells bad.
Speaker 5: Kitty wampus. Yeah, it's kitty.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 5: Crooked, askew, out of alignment, in total disarray. Smells like poop,
Speaker 5: which doesn't smell good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4: See? See?
Speaker 1: The world gets me.
Speaker 5: Basically, you can say cattywampus, too, apparently.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
Speaker 4: I think I've heard it both ways. So I thought
Speaker 4: it was maybe interchangeable, but. Yeah, variant spelling.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: I think there's cattywampus as well. No, that's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Red hogs.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 1: You hate me.
Speaker 5: I know. I love you.
Speaker 4: Man, that story was something.
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't a great story.
Speaker 5: There's a serial butt sniffer. In California.
Speaker 1: I know he's harmless, but it's a weird fetish.
Speaker 8: Crouching down like he normally would, and he'll just look
Speaker 8: around and then just try to take the chance to
Speaker 8: sniff like any woman's butt.
Speaker 1: First time I caught him, I was like, what is
Speaker 1: this guy doing? He looks creepy. You want to sniff butt?
Speaker 1: You could do a sniff somewhere else.
Speaker 5: Amen, brother. What can you do? By the way, I'm
Speaker 5: going to say it.
Speaker 1: No, no.
Speaker 5: He does look like our former quarterback. He does.
Speaker 1: Like Josh Dobbs, yeah. He does. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: What if it was? Who was it on Twitter that
Speaker 4: called him the astronaut, but with two S's?
Speaker 5: Oh, that's great.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that in the power trip?
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 1: I think it was Moss. It might have been.
Speaker 5: Khaleesi Crowder.
Speaker 1: Oh, Mother of Dragons. Yeah, Musk called him the astronaut.
Speaker 1: That's a good line.
Speaker 8: What do you think Musk is up to right now?
Speaker 5: About 5'10.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the nicest answer I thought I would get.
Speaker 6: Crowder was arrested at the Burbank Nordstrom Rack after reports
Speaker 6: of someone roaming the women's department and getting a good whiff.
Speaker 1: You'll be salivating when you see it.
Speaker 5: The next month he was arrested at the Walgreens.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah. Wow, you have audio of this story, Hawk.
Speaker 1: You are on top of it.
Speaker 5: A little lowbrow there, brother.
Speaker 1: We're going to eat all of it.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What? Are you excited to be there, Rose? Smoking hot.
Speaker 3: Oh. Woo!
Speaker 1: That was the weirdest video of all time.
Speaker 5: He's got a criminal history of serious offenses.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, wait.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at him. Oh, we have video of him
Speaker 5: doing it. Oh, my God. He's kneeling down. God, this
Speaker 5: guy loves the smell of a hole.
Speaker 8: Bugs are sweet, but we don't need to randomly sniff
Speaker 8: them in public.
Speaker 1: Nobody told him what they smelled like.
Speaker 5: This guy is just... Oh, my God.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's a dude.
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
Speaker 5: I guess it doesn't matter. He just loves sniffing butt.
Speaker 1: I know that, honey. Oh, Rose.
Speaker 4: That guy, he must have whiffed pretty loudly because that
Speaker 4: guy turned around and was laughing at.
Speaker 3: Him.
Speaker 1: Oh, Rosie.
Speaker 5: Oh, my God. Lordy, lordy, this guy's creepy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Just a dog.
Speaker 5: He's a dog at eight.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's such a good bit. Finish him on Friday night. Oh, my.
Speaker 8: Frosty.
Speaker 5: All you got to do is pass a little gas
Speaker 5: and you can't take no more.
Speaker 1: I love the catch.
Speaker 5: He sniffed her butt. Lady, be glad somebody got down
Speaker 5: near there.
Speaker 1: You can't take your eyes off it.
Speaker 4: The audio of this is unbelievably good.
Speaker 1: The third person in the interview is like, I actually
Speaker 1: didn't mind.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Getting out of that hole and eventually going in to score.
Speaker 5: He said not to shower for a while and come
Speaker 5: on back to Walgreens.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty good. He's probably related to you, Hawk.
Speaker 5: How dare you? We do look a lot alike.
Speaker 1: Oh, wait. She got close.
Speaker 4: I wonder if his parents are still alive and their
Speaker 4: son is a serial butt sniffer. Not just a one-time guy.
Speaker 1: A serial.
Speaker 1: Butts never. Yeah, butts never.
Speaker 4: Has that phrase ever been used ever before this guy?
Speaker 5: You got your nose in my butt crack.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: Gross.
Speaker 5: Kyle Van Noy. You're a Viking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said.
Speaker 4: I think people thought you were just saying the guy's name.
Speaker 5: I think he's identifying people by their scent.
Speaker 4: Kyle! Let's also do sports after this. This is the
Speaker 4: Power Trip Morning Show on The Fan. Hey, it's Chris Hockey,
Speaker 4: the Power Trip Morning Show. It's a big old country
Speaker 4: out there, and you want to see it. Did you

Speaker 5: They provide daily bus service.

Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good. I'm good. You ready for
Speaker 1: football season, brother? I'm getting there. Yeah, I'm getting there.
Speaker 1: Eastern Illinois tomorrow? Well, you better be ready. It's tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It is tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Just 42 and a half point favorites.
Speaker 3: They're going to let me actually go to the game and.
Speaker 1: Talk on the radio.
Speaker 3: That's sweet.
Speaker 4: Remind me, do you guys get to talk about things
Speaker 4: like the spread or.
Speaker 1: Is that a no-no?
Speaker 4: Are you not supposed to mention that it's 42 and
Speaker 4: a half?
Speaker 1: I mention it.
Speaker 3: I use it just because it... Especially once you get
Speaker 3: in a Big Ten play, it kind of sets an expectation.
Speaker 1: The fans.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you go, oh, you're playing Illinois, they're no good.
Speaker 1: Well, no, they're good this year. It's their favorite game.
Speaker 3: We're not supposed to win. I use it as a
Speaker 3: relation to this is just where the game's supposed to go.
Speaker 1: Right. Never would bet.
Speaker 4: Of course not. No.
Speaker 1: Actually, we really can't. We're not supposed to. That makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense.
Speaker 5: Even at the casinos, you won't buy one.
Speaker 1: Two and a half. Corey, I did, though.
Speaker 3: I texted you a picture. Play initials in Lakeville.
Speaker 1: I like to. At one of the establishments there. How'd
Speaker 1: you do? We won the last round. Come on. Did
Speaker 1: you get a gift card? We got a gift card.
Speaker 1: Free beer.
Speaker 4: Look at you.
Speaker 1: How much of that was you? I got a few.
Speaker 5: I got a few.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, looky here.
Speaker 1: That was fun. It's cool. Right on, man. We've done
Speaker 1: it a few times, and that was fun.
Speaker 4: So you must have found that location on initialsgamelive.com.
Speaker 1: It could have been. My daughter said, let's go, and
Speaker 1: we went. Love it. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Good for you.
Speaker 1: We had a good time.
Speaker 6: You know, I get most of my information about Gopher
Speaker 6: College football from Tommy Olsen and the Fargo Flash.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Very pessimistic outlook. Very objective.
Speaker 5: So in your opinion, are we going to win all
Speaker 5: the games and go national championship?
Speaker 3: We should be, as the Hoosiers did last year, we
Speaker 3: should be 16-0 by the time January whatever hits, yes.
Speaker 4: Do you believe, though, that the Vikings and Gophers are
Speaker 4: in a similar situation where if Kyler has a monster year...
Speaker 4: the success of the Vikings clearly should follow because the
Speaker 4: rest of the team looks like they're pretty good. If
Speaker 4: Drake's as good as we all think he is or
Speaker 4: could be, if he makes a significant jump, then are
Speaker 4: the people that are saying, Hey, look, nine and three
Speaker 4: is not out of the question. Even with this tough
Speaker 4: schedule is nine and three, almost all on the shoulders
Speaker 4: of Drake Lindsay.
Speaker 1: Well, I think obviously he's got to play well for sure.
Speaker 3: That's to me, you know, it goes without saying he's
Speaker 3: got to stay healthy, right? I mean, he, he is
Speaker 3: the quarterback that has to be on this team. That's
Speaker 3: going to be, uh, if they're going to get to
Speaker 3: that kind of ceiling year again, where it's nine wins
Speaker 3: or whatever. Um, yes, he's got to play well.
Speaker 4: And not perfect.
Speaker 3: And he's not, uh, and they have to, um, they have,
Speaker 3: I think they have to, um, let him, if there's
Speaker 3: a chance to let him win a game for you, just,
Speaker 3: Let it fly, right?
Speaker 1: Just let it go.
Speaker 3: It's fine if you have to be risky at some
Speaker 3: point to get a win, do that. And last year
Speaker 3: at 18 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a first-year starter in
Speaker 3: that league, the Big Ten plays really good defense. That's
Speaker 3: a pretty good season for a first-year starter. But I
Speaker 3: think if you're really wanting to push to have that
Speaker 3: kind of a year where you're like, okay, upper half,
Speaker 3: upper third– That number's got to be like 28 and 8, 28.
Speaker 1: And something like that.
Speaker 3: If you're going to get to 28, the interception number
Speaker 3: may come up as well. And I heard you yesterday
Speaker 3: talk about Murray's been, what, 2-1 over his career. If
Speaker 3: you push that 2.5-1, it can change the outcome of
Speaker 3: a season.
Speaker 1: By two games maybe. 100%.
Speaker 3: I'm filling out some stuff last night on my boards.
Speaker 3: Lindsey was 63% completion. That's pretty good, particularly for a
Speaker 3: first-year starter. if that gets, you know, the Gophers play
Speaker 3: on the margins. They averaged 23 points a game last year.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Their opponents averaged 22.9.
Speaker 5: Whoa.
Speaker 3: So they just play a bunch of close games. Some
Speaker 3: of it's by, I mean, a lot of it's by design.
Speaker 3: Some of it is just by how they play, right?
Speaker 3: They do play a little bit of a slowdown. We're
Speaker 3: going to let the play clock wind down. And so
Speaker 3: that you limit possessions, you limit plays. There were some
Speaker 3: games last year where they had three possessions. Each team
Speaker 3: had three possessions. That was it for a whole first half.
Speaker 1: Wow. Right?
Speaker 3: So if you're three and out on one of three possessions,
Speaker 3: then it factors in. So, yes, a healthy Darius Taylor
Speaker 3: is going to help. There's a lot of factors.
Speaker 1: There really are.
Speaker 3: But tomorrow, I would hope that the Gophers can put
Speaker 3: that team away.
Speaker 4: So I saw the stats that the running back for
Speaker 4: Eastern Illinois had a monster game last week, right? 170-plus
Speaker 4: yards and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He had an 80-yard touchdown. Right.
Speaker 4: So is that just the opponent, or is this kid
Speaker 4: actually a problem? Well, he's a transfer from Akron. He's
Speaker 4: in his second year at Eastern.
Speaker 1: It could be, right?
Speaker 3: I mean, you pop one, all of a sudden you—
Speaker 3: How's our run defense? Run defense should be pretty stout.
Speaker 3: I think if there's questions on the defense, it is
Speaker 3: in the middle of the front. The edge is— That's
Speaker 3: going to be the strength of the defense. That's where
Speaker 3: you get Anthony Smith, preseason Big Ten Player of the Year, T.J. Bush,
Speaker 3: transfer from Cal, Carter Mentz, who had six sacks last year,
Speaker 3: Jackson Howard. Those guys are all on the edges, and
Speaker 3: there's others that are kind of knocking on the door.
Speaker 3: I think the middle should be pretty stout, but very
Speaker 3: few of those guys have taken snaps in a Big
Speaker 3: Ten game.
Speaker 1: There's a transfer from Marshall.
Speaker 3: That is probably going to be the starter tomorrow night
Speaker 3: at one of the defensive tackle spots. Riley Sunroom is
Speaker 3: a kid from North Dakota who's kind of bite at
Speaker 3: his time, and he'll probably be the other starter. There's
Speaker 3: a few others that will rotate through. So I think
Speaker 3: they have good potential there, but we haven't seen them yet.
Speaker 1: So we'll find out.
Speaker 3: And in this transfer age, they went and got a
Speaker 3: kid from Marshall to kind of fill that gap. But
Speaker 3: I think PJ is also saying, look, we've got to
Speaker 3: count on some kids. We have to put faith in them.
Speaker 3: We recruited them out of high school. Um, they come cheaper.
Speaker 3: And when you're working on, uh, trying to be efficient
Speaker 3: budget wise, we're going to, we're going to roll with
Speaker 3: some guys and, and put some faith in those guys.
Speaker 5: We got another national champion in the big 10 this year.
Speaker 3: That would be something three straight. I like Oregon, you know, they, they're,
Speaker 3: they're defensive front. Oregon is just a, such a lovely state. Um,
Speaker 3: they have, Their front four, Sauce, you're the draft nick.
Speaker 3: They could all be first-round picks.
Speaker 8: I mean, they've got the potential to have, I think,
Speaker 8: six first-round picks.
Speaker 3: I think three of those guys from their front four
Speaker 3: last year, who the Gophers saw, we played that Friday
Speaker 3: night game out there.
Speaker 1: Could have been first-round picks this year, and they turned it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like.
Speaker 3: Here's a Powerball winning number ticket. We're going to turn
Speaker 3: that down. We're still going to make a boatload of
Speaker 3: money playing college football. I don't know what Oregon's budget is,
Speaker 3: but obviously they got the Nike money and all of that,
Speaker 3: so it's a lot. So Oregon, let's say they win it.
Speaker 3: That would be four different Big Ten teams in four years,
Speaker 3: which would be pretty cool.
Speaker 6: And next week we play Mississippi State. Now, obviously, I'm
Speaker 6: not looking past this. We can't look past any opponents.
Speaker 5: I get all that. But is this a Legitimate team
Speaker 5: we're going to be playing in week two?
Speaker 1: Yeah, SEC team.
Speaker 3: First time, and as I get into prepping for that
Speaker 3: next week, I'll have the exact date, but I want
Speaker 3: to say it's the first time since the 50s that
Speaker 3: an SEC team has played in Minneapolis.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: There was never an SEC team in the Metrodome. I mean,
Speaker 3: they just don't come north. SEC teams just don't. So
Speaker 3: this game was scheduled a while ago, Mississippi State. We
Speaker 3: go down to Stark Vegas next year as part of
Speaker 3: the home and home.
Speaker 1: Good luck. Yeah. So any SEC team is... has got talent.
Speaker 3: That team is kind of, you know, they're probably picked
Speaker 3: bottom half of the SEC.
Speaker 1: They're bad. I'll just say it. They're bad.
Speaker 3: Their quarterback's good. The rest of the team's terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the quarterback, though, can, I mean, that guy can win
Speaker 3: a game for you. So, I mean, that's not a
Speaker 3: slam-dunk game next.
Speaker 1: I'm interested. Is there any advance spread on that game?
Speaker 3: I mean, power trip bets could probably find it, but
Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything. I'll bet it's, I bet Minnesota's
Speaker 3: a slight, slight favorite. I don't think it'll be more.
Speaker 8: Than A couple people that I know that are really
Speaker 8: into the Gophers said that, as you just said, the
Speaker 8: quarterback's incredible.
Speaker 1: The rest of the team is not very good.
Speaker 3: They have a new defensive coordinator, I think, that's been in.
Speaker 1: What's his name, Hawk?
Speaker 5: Mbake.
Speaker 1: That's it. You got it. Man, you studied that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's good about it.
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of exciting to have an SEC team,
Speaker 3: a Power 5 team, Power 4 team come in next week.
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. That's a 230 kick a week
Speaker 3: from Saturday.
Speaker 5: I put all of my rent money on the over
Speaker 5: at 5.5. That's pretty safe, don't you think?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it wasn't here in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Because it's been kind of teetering between 5.5 and 6.5.
Speaker 3: They both seem a little low to me.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 3: But the Big Ten now, one with NIL, so everyone
Speaker 3: has some players, right? And everyone's been able to retain.
Speaker 3: Retention's big because if you can return guys that know
Speaker 3: the system and you keep a nucleus together, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's how teams like Minnesota, Iowa, some of these teams
Speaker 3: over the years that have had some success, they ramp up, right?
Speaker 1: Win seven, win seven.
Speaker 3: That group now has stayed together for three years, and
Speaker 3: you get 10, right?
Speaker 1: And then you do it again, and you stack those
Speaker 1: kind of things.
Speaker 3: So retention's big, and with NIL, you have a better
Speaker 3: chance to retain those guys. So the way the Big
Speaker 3: Ten is now, it's.
Speaker 1: Hard to win.
Speaker 3: There really are no gimmies, even when you go toward
Speaker 3: the bottom of that. So I think the 5.5 seems low.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 3: You can look at the schedule, and all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you start counting it down. Mississippi State is favored, but.
Speaker 1: Not by much.
Speaker 3: You're home Michigan, home Iowa. You haven't beaten Iowa in
Speaker 3: a long time. Michigan is Michigan. You're at Penn State.
Speaker 3: That's a tough place to play. at Wisconsin, and you're
Speaker 3: at Indiana. Now all of a sudden you start stacking
Speaker 3: those up.
Speaker 1: And at Washington.
Speaker 3: And at Washington, which they're like 32-2 in their last
Speaker 3: 35 games there. So all of a sudden you start
Speaker 3: stacking that up and you can talk yourself into the
Speaker 3: The flip side, like, ooh, maybe that's not a slam dunk.
Speaker 1: I would take the over, though.
Speaker 6: We almost always win two games we shouldn't have won.
Speaker 6: Almost always win two we shouldn't have won.
Speaker 1: No doubt. And the one thing that.
Speaker 5: And if not, I've got to leave the country.
Speaker 3: And P.J. has just been steady as she goes, right?
Speaker 3: I mean, there just hasn't been much dip. Back-to-back eight-win seasons. Now,
Speaker 3: that counts the bowl game, so that doesn't... I think
Speaker 3: the five-and-a-half is regular season wins only.
Speaker 1: And there just hasn't been much of a dip, and...
Speaker 1: they've been good in bowl games.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I think you're safe.
Speaker 5: If not now, when? We've got a quarterback, we've got
Speaker 5: some stars from the NFL. If not now, when?
Speaker 3: I think there's an opportunity here, because you do miss
Speaker 3: Ohio State and Oregon. I think those are the two
Speaker 3: best teams in the Big Ten. You miss them on
Speaker 3: the schedule.
Speaker 1: Indiana might beat the brakes off of you, but.
Speaker 3: It's a possibility at Indiana. It would be interesting how
Speaker 3: their quarterback situation plays out. The TCU people didn't seem
Speaker 3: to care much for the kid that transferred, but we'll see.
Speaker 5: We'll see. And we've got Vikings next. You want to
Speaker 5: stick around?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll stick around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Excellent. More with Mike Grimm and the Power Trip Morning
Speaker 4: Show after this on The Fan.
Speaker 6: The Fan.
Speaker 4: From the 1-800-ASK-GARY-TRAFFIC-CENTER, this report is sponsored by Quantum Fiber Internet.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 5: We have delays. We talk about.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 5: Vikings football it's time for vikings on the power trip presented.
Speaker 6: By now isn't it true uh mike grimdy you served
Speaker 6: in vietnam with uh kyle van noy.
Speaker 4: I did we were we were uh oh careful that's
Speaker 4: stolen valor that's true if you because not only now
Speaker 4: are you gonna have to answer questions now alec lewis
Speaker 4: and yes guestling and seaford they're gonna go so wait
Speaker 4: a minute kyle yeah Are you claiming you served in
Speaker 4: Vietnam with Mike Grimm?
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay away from that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even go with that bit, man. And it's
Speaker 4: not fair to Kyle. He just got here.
Speaker 1: He's trying to set me up to get in trouble again.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Way to go. Hogs again.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 6: We got Minnesota Vikings signing free agent, edge rusher, Kyle Vannoy,
Speaker 6: according to a league source.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that league source being rguy.com. Tom, is Pellicero the
Speaker 4: first to break it? I think he was.
Speaker 5: That's where I saw it first.
Speaker 4: That's where I saw it first, too. And again, that's
Speaker 4: what matters most, right?
Speaker 1: Who gets it first. Yeah, for sure. Where has he played?
Speaker 6: He came from Baltimore last year, but he was in
Speaker 6: Miami before then. He won two Super Bowls with Brian Flores.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a Flores in action.
Speaker 3: Good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Excellent.
Speaker 5: So he'll be our third defensive end.
Speaker 1: I would guess.
Speaker 3: I heard Lieber last week say that he figured they
Speaker 3: would go get one more edge rush.
Speaker 5: And he wanted this guy in particular.
Speaker 4: He specifically dropped his name saying that would be a
Speaker 4: really good fit.
Speaker 5: He's got it figured out at Ben Lieber.
Speaker 4: We'll ask him about it tomorrow.
Speaker 3: What are we hearing about Harrison Smith?
Speaker 6: He'll be back, but from what they're saying, probably after
Speaker 6: the second game because it saves them so much money.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 6: If he's on the roster before the season starts, it's
Speaker 6: a lot more.
Speaker 1: I don't get that.
Speaker 4: If you're Harrison, why would that matter to him?
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 5: It matters to him. I think it matters to the team.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: But I'm saying, if I'm Harrison.
Speaker 5: Plus, he wants to play as little as possible.
Speaker 1: I want all the money. Yeah, two less games.
Speaker 3: But why would the league set that up that way?
Speaker 1: It seems bizarre.
Speaker 4: And again, Sauce, you know this, I know this, everybody
Speaker 4: knows this.
Speaker 5: I probably don't.
Speaker 1: I'm listening.
Speaker 4: Do we have enough money for Harrison Smith?
Speaker 1: Of course we do. Beep, bop, beep, boop, fixed. Yep. Oh,
Speaker 1: what do you want? $ 20 million?
Speaker 4: Guaranteed?
Speaker 1: Done.
Speaker 8: We'll spread it out over the next 46 years. The
Speaker 8: Rams just randomly had $ 20 million. I wonder how.
Speaker 1: They did that. Beep, bop, boop, boop, fixed.
Speaker 8: It's like they have a bunch of, you know, because
Speaker 8: Miles Garrett's playing for free and Stafford.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm not going to name his name.
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: But there are some people that would be like, oh,
Speaker 4: Rob Brzezinski is the best money guy in the business.
Speaker 4: And this person who will go unnamed can't name another
Speaker 4: money person in the business, right? So, yeah, Rob Brzezinski
Speaker 4: is probably great at his job. Looks like he drafted
Speaker 4: well this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But my guess is the other 31 people are also
Speaker 4: very good at just going beep-bop-boop-boop. So, yeah, they're going
Speaker 4: to move some money around, but it ultimately comes down.
Speaker 4: Let's call a spade a spade when it comes to this.
Speaker 4: I don't think Harrison Smith is playing this year for
Speaker 4: the money.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: It's your last ride. Do you want to do it
Speaker 4: one more time or not?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You've made a ton of money.
Speaker 5: He's tired.
Speaker 4: He doesn't look like a guy that has thrown his
Speaker 4: money into Ponzi schemes. I think he's fine.
Speaker 1: He had a good year last year. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: still playing.
Speaker 4: Remember, he was injured early in the season. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: was that injury.
Speaker 1: The weird one. Oh, yeah. Harrison, what would you rather
Speaker 1: do than play football?
Speaker 5: Take a nap many times.
Speaker 1: Then don't come back. Then you don't have to be here.
Speaker 8: Are you excited for the upcoming football season?
Speaker 5: Not one bit.
Speaker 1: Man, he's aged.
Speaker 5: Does he sound old to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but again, he doesn't do a lot of interviews.
Speaker 4: Maybe he's always sounded like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
Speaker 4: Whenever you do, though, the one last ride, like, all right,
Speaker 4: I'm going to do this. No, Aaron Donald's coming back
Speaker 4: because the Rams are the Super Bowl favorites. The Vikings
Speaker 4: over-under is eight and a half, and they were projected
Speaker 4: to finish fourth. That doesn't mean they can't overachieve, but
Speaker 4: imagine if you're Harrison Smith and seven games in were
Speaker 4: two and five, and you're like, what the hell did
Speaker 4: I do this for? What am I doing? None of
Speaker 4: the games the rest of the year are going to matter.
Speaker 1: Why did I do this? Oh, my hamstring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: And then you just catch those... League minimum checks and
Speaker 4: sail off into the sunset. Well, that's like our guy Thielen, though.
Speaker 4: Thielen's like, well, if I'm going to do this one
Speaker 4: more time, send me to Pittsburgh. I want to play
Speaker 4: in a playoff game. I just can't see Harrison Smith
Speaker 4: doing that because obviously Thielen played for the Panthers, so
Speaker 4: he had bounced around. Harrison's a lifelong Viking. He's not
Speaker 4: going to jump ship. It's either this or nothing.
Speaker 5: Maybe you'll see how the first couple of games go
Speaker 5: and he'll be.
Speaker 4: Like, What if we get blown out like 40 to
Speaker 4: nothing to a Josh Jacob, listen, Micah Parsons less team.
Speaker 4: And he's like, what am I?
Speaker 1: I'm not jumping on this squad.
Speaker 4: We're going to go two and 15.
Speaker 1: That's awful. Wouldn't it be cool to.
Speaker 3: Be in a spot, though, that you could just say, yeah,
Speaker 3: I might, I might not, but I'm going to forget
Speaker 3: the nonsense of training camp and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: He's earned it.
Speaker 5: What's this game, Adam Driver?
Speaker 4: Yeah, from Star Wars.
Speaker 5: Just came back from the.
Speaker 1: Han Solo's son?
Speaker 5: For the Rams, right?
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald. Whatever.
Speaker 5: I couldn't remember the name and I just went with it.
Speaker 4: We've only mentioned it four times in the last three minutes.
Speaker 8: Well, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like come back and play if you want to.
Speaker 1: I ain't scared. No doubt.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: It'd be good to have him. Hey, what's your name? Mike.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 5: Drake Lindsay. Give me a percent chance. He is drafted
Speaker 5: into the NFL next year.
Speaker 1: Oh, man. That's a great question. Next year or ever?
Speaker 5: Just next year.
Speaker 1: Next year. Just makes the jump.
Speaker 3: There was that one, I think you've referenced it a
Speaker 3: couple times when I've been in here, that he was
Speaker 3: sixth or something. I think fourth or fifth pick was
Speaker 3: the projection. That was this coming draft, the 27 draft.
Speaker 3: I think that's probably aggressive.
Speaker 1: Sure. A tad.
Speaker 3: But, I mean, look, he's got the– what they like
Speaker 3: is he's got the prototypical size, and he's got a
Speaker 3: really good arm. I do think part of– you know,
Speaker 3: they had the pro day last year, and so they
Speaker 3: needed a quarterback to throw to some of the receivers
Speaker 3: when all the scouts were there, and they're like, whoa.
Speaker 3: And that's what kind of turned Brosmer on, the Vikings
Speaker 3: on to Brosmer.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: He threw the week before, or the season before at
Speaker 3: that pro day. I got this kid can throw, and
Speaker 3: I think he and O'Connell even kind of hit it
Speaker 3: off there. They were talking and whatever. So I think
Speaker 3: there were enough scouts, and they're like, ooh, this kid's
Speaker 3: got the size, and now he can throw it. It's
Speaker 3: just a flick of the wrist. I mean, he really
Speaker 3: does have a good arm. And he's playing in an
Speaker 3: NFL-style offense. They're trying to pattern the offense off of
Speaker 3: the Rams and others, Vikings included. So that part, I
Speaker 3: think they like. It's like when you recruit a guy
Speaker 3: at the college level, they come to a camp, you've
Speaker 3: never seen film, but all of a sudden here's his
Speaker 3: 40 time.
Speaker 1: Here's his shuttle time. Here's his vertical jump.
Speaker 3: They're like, well, all the measurables say you can play
Speaker 3: big 10 football. Now let's watch the film. And even
Speaker 3: sometimes with the films, not that great. They're still like, dude,
Speaker 3: such a good athlete. We can develop them. So I
Speaker 3: think they're probably looking at that. Like he's got the size,
Speaker 3: he's got the arm strength, he's mobile enough. Uh, so
Speaker 3: the percent chance who asked the question, chance, um, steve
Speaker 3: i'll say in the 27 draft i'll say it's a
Speaker 3: 20 chance.
Speaker 4: He'll go in the 20 draft 27 i know we
Speaker 4: all know that it's been a long time we've we've
Speaker 4: probably heard general guesses in how long it's been do
Speaker 4: you guys know the exact year though it has been
Speaker 4: since the last time a gopher quarterback was drafted like
Speaker 4: 60s i just looked it up seven or something like
Speaker 4: that anybody else know You're talking about a guy who
Speaker 4: finished his career. Yes, not Ethan Kelly McManus.
Speaker 1: That doesn't count.
Speaker 4: The last time a Gopher quarterback was drafted at any point,
Speaker 4: not first round, just in the draft at all.
Speaker 1: No, I might be wrong. Isn't it never?
Speaker 4: No, that's not right.
Speaker 5: No, wasn't it the guy from the 1980s?
Speaker 4: Nope.
Speaker 1: Really? Nope. 70?
Speaker 5: 1972 was the last time Craig Curry.
Speaker 4: was an eighth-round pick to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at this list. By the way, you
Speaker 4: know what's crazy? I don't think I knew this. That
Speaker 4: was 72. Do you know who the Vikings drafted in
Speaker 4: the 17th round in 1973? Hawk does.
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 4: I'm being serious.
Speaker 1: The 17th round? Yeah, 429th overall. What year are you GMing? 73.
Speaker 3: 73.
Speaker 4: Can we think this through?
Speaker 6: 73.
Speaker 1: I bet they drafted.
Speaker 5: Some big name who turned out to be a stud.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame? Like Paul Kraus or somebody like that?
Speaker 1: Nope. That's what I was going to....
Speaker 5: Chuck was farther than that.
Speaker 4: You guys are not even close.
Speaker 5: A receiver?
Speaker 1: Not even close.
Speaker 2: Neither.
Speaker 1: Alan Page. Oh, wait.
Speaker 5: So a coach?
Speaker 4: Not even close.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: You can do this. 70. Oh, Dave Winfield. Dave Winfield.
Speaker 1: Look at Grimmer. Ron knows him. Oh, Ron Johnson knows him? Yes.
Speaker 1: How about that? Dave Winfield.
Speaker 4: The Vikings drafted him in the 17th round. apparently, in 1973.
Speaker 5: What did he do instead?
Speaker 4: Played a little ball.
Speaker 1: He was a Hall of Famer. That was a good one.
Speaker 1: That was a good one.
Speaker 4: That's what Wikipedia says, at least. We're going to go
Speaker 4: with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was drafted in the NBA or the ABA
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Like he was drafted in all three sports.
Speaker 4: What a freak, man.
Speaker 1: He's so good. I mean, so good. Could do it all.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And the only person to ever be drafted in
Speaker 6: the first round of both the NFL and the MLB
Speaker 6: draft is?
Speaker 1: First round of both? First round of both. Kyler Murray?
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: Oh, Kyler.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because Kyler was what, the ninth pick or something
Speaker 4: by the A's?
Speaker 1: He's the only one in the first round?
Speaker 5: First one that's ever done it.
Speaker 4: First round in both.
Speaker 5: Only person to ever do it.
Speaker 1: No kidding. Pretty good athlete. Buenas dias. Buenas dias.
Speaker 4: Because I'm pretty sure Russell Wilson obviously was drafted in both,
Speaker 4: I believe, right? But he was a third rounder in
Speaker 4: the NFL. What round was he in baseball? Much further down.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And didn't he play like a year minor league
Speaker 3: or something?
Speaker 1: Something like that. I don't remember how it worked. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was a summer college league. I don't remember either.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot. Elway was drafted.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 3: Was Brady, too? Was he drafted in baseball?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just love the idea that's like, here's 1973, and
Speaker 4: you're like, there's no chance Winfield's playing. He's going to
Speaker 4: go play baseball. But just in case, we're either going
Speaker 4: to pick a guy that we're going to immediately cut,
Speaker 4: or at least we can say for the next 50 years,
Speaker 4: we drafted Dave Winfield.
Speaker 1: Why not? How many rounds were there?
Speaker 4: That's a great question.
Speaker 1: 80. I mean, jeez.
Speaker 5: I think there were nine. It rings a bell that
Speaker 5: there were nine.
Speaker 4: Well, that was later. This is round 17.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't listening, obviously. Okay, got it.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you.
Speaker 3: I remember it wasn't that long ago. There were, I think,
Speaker 3: 12 rounds. I mean, I'm going to say not that
Speaker 3: long ago, like 25.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. There were 17 in 1973. So that was
Speaker 1: the final round in 1973. 442 players picked. Oh, my God. What?
Speaker 4: This is just like, man, you know, sometimes doing a
Speaker 4: deep dive on Wikipedia is unbelievable. Guess who the first
Speaker 4: pick was in 1973? The first overall pick in 1973.
Speaker 4: Not for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: This is nuts. What team? Like where?
Speaker 4: It was the Houston Oilers.
Speaker 3: 1973?
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 4: He finished his career with 48 and a half sacks.
Speaker 4: He did win two Super Bowls. I will say this. Overwhelmingly,
Speaker 4: you don't remember him from football. He died at 38
Speaker 4: years old in 1989.
Speaker 5: John Matuszak.
Speaker 4: John Matuszak, who played sloth in the Goonies. I had
Speaker 4: no idea he was number one overall. I knew he
Speaker 4: played football.
Speaker 5: Lyle Alzado, Raiders. College he played.
Speaker 1: You can do this.
Speaker 4: I'm looking right at it. Actually, I don't know if
Speaker 4: you can do this.
Speaker 1: This is tough.
Speaker 4: This would be unbelievable if you remember this.
Speaker 5: I saw the documentary on him.
Speaker 4: Okay, he went to Iowa Central in 69, then Missouri
Speaker 4: in 70, and then was it Tampa? The Tampa Spartans.
Speaker 1: Was Iowa Central where Starr went?
Speaker 4: No, he went to North West Missouri State or something?
Speaker 4: Or Northeast Missouri? Truman State or something to change his
Speaker 4: name to later?
Speaker 5: It's Truman State.
Speaker 1: Was Matuszak from Iowa? You're welcome.
Speaker 4: Matuszak was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He went to high
Speaker 4: school in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: He's dead. He is dead. He died.
Speaker 4: Honestly, he died four years after Goonies.
Speaker 6: All those guys did so many steroids, especially those Raiders.
Speaker 6: Alzado too, man. They were so hopped up on steroids.
Speaker 6: How much fun would that be?
Speaker 4: You know what's crazy? If you just do a Wikipedia
Speaker 4: for John Matuszak, not a bad looking dude.
Speaker 1: Sloth was a freak.
Speaker 5: His mom dropped him on his head.
Speaker 4: Maybe once, maybe twice. What other stuff was he in?
Speaker 4: In terms of acting? I don't think much. He was
Speaker 4: in One Crazy Summer, which was the year after Goonies.
Speaker 4: That's actually a good movie, too. So he was in
Speaker 4: North Dallas 40 in 1979. He was in.
Speaker 5: One Boring Winter, the sequel.
Speaker 4: What is that? But man, he did a bunch of
Speaker 4: TV roles. He did MASH, Trapper John, Dukes of Hazzard.
Speaker 1: Trapper what?
Speaker 4: John, Silver Spoons, Fall Guy, Benson, Hunter, Miami Vice, Perfect Strangers.
Speaker 5: Benson was a great show.
Speaker 1: Benson, he was a butler, right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Benson was the butler. What the hell was it?
Speaker 5: Famous actor. Um, He's got a highfalutin name.
Speaker 1: Robert Guillaume?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it. Highfalutin. Ben's a cowboy, suddenly.
Speaker 4: Who would have thought we'd do Vikings News and end
Speaker 4: on Benson?
Speaker 1: How about that? We got all the way around. That
Speaker 1: was quite the run.
Speaker 4: But I mean, honestly, going back to where this whole
Speaker 4: Wikipedia rabbit hole started... It's even if Drake Lindsay goes
Speaker 4: in round four at some point, it would end a
Speaker 4: streak since 1972. When you want to, all you have
Speaker 4: to do, if you're a, if you're a 20 year
Speaker 4: old kid going, when was the last time the gophers
Speaker 4: were good?
Speaker 1: And why haven't we been good?
Speaker 4: It's because we haven't had a quarterback drafted in half
Speaker 4: a century.
Speaker 1: That's why. That is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 4: That's all you need to say is we haven't had.
Speaker 1: Our guy Adam Weber was close.
Speaker 4: We've had a lot of good quarterbacks. You have to
Speaker 4: have a game-changing quarterback to have a program that makes
Speaker 4: a run, like Mendoza in Indiana. You have to have
Speaker 4: one that is a first-round talent. And you're in the mix.
Speaker 3: And that's why, like you said, I think you're right.
Speaker 3: The key to the whole thing, if you're going to
Speaker 3: be good, good, like, oh, man, it's him. Because if
Speaker 3: you have a great quarterback, especially at the college level,
Speaker 3: it's a cheat code.
Speaker 4: It changes everything.
Speaker 1: It's a cheat code. Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: And that's what the scary part about that Mississippi State
Speaker 3: game is. That quarterback, he might run for 178 yards.
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, you've got Anthony Smith chasing him,
Speaker 3: and you can't catch him. That's how those games can
Speaker 3: go sideways a little bit.
Speaker 4: Ron Johnson knows Dave Winfield.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 8: He mentions it on Feinstein.
Speaker 5: I must have dreamt. Did we sign Dylan Bell to
Speaker 5: the practice squad?
Speaker 1: I think we did, yes.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't see it on Vikings.
Speaker 1: And I saw.
Speaker 3: Yesterday that some people were saying that Brosmer re-signed, but
Speaker 3: there was no official. I never got an email that they...
Speaker 3: I need that official.
Speaker 4: I didn't see that either.
Speaker 5: I thought I saw that.
Speaker 3: But I saw a couple people tweet out that it
Speaker 3: was going to happen.
Speaker 4: So those are both practice squad guys? Because 24 hours
Speaker 4: ago they were not.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got cut, and then they had to clear waivers.
Speaker 3: But I don't think the team is sent out. I
Speaker 3: haven't gotten an email, unless I missed it, which is possible,
Speaker 3: that those two guys.
Speaker 1: Let's hope not.
Speaker 3: But there were some dudes reporting it, like guys that
Speaker 3: know what they're doing, yesterday, that Brosmer was back.
Speaker 4: I'm a little surprised Rappaport didn't have Dylan Bell updates
Speaker 4: on his Twitter account.
Speaker 5: I like this kid, man. They like that kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lieber loves that kid.
Speaker 4: Talked about him a lot on Monday. Then he got
Speaker 4: cut immediately afterwards.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they cut him because Ben liked him.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 4: KOC is vindictive. Fan 5 in a second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see you later. Thank you. Grimmer, see.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 1: Bye. All right. From the 1-800-ASK-GARY Traffic Center.
