Speaker 3: beaten you know, Sweden and win in the semifinals game.

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 4: And now you booked your ticket.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: You know, it was probably inevitable, right, it was always

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: going to be USA Canada, but you got to play

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,360

Speaker 3: showdown is set for Thursday night here in Milan. It'll

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: be tink around noon puck drop in the Minneapolis area.

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: So when so, so, when Taylor scored the goal, do

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: you remember how you reacted.

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: I think it was it was kind of a I

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: don't know if child this is the right way to

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: put it, but definitely a kid like approach of just

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: just excitement. I think I threw a fist pump in

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: the air.

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: And you know, one of those situations.

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Where she's not necessarily the goal scorer, right, She's more

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: of a set somebody up type of mentality, you know,

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: get other peoples involved. But it was a two on

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: one break and she put herself in a good spot

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: and Hannah Bilka made a good pass and she buried it.

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: And it wasn't the cleanest of goals if you if

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: you were to ask her. She tried to go against

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: the grain and kind of lift it up, but the

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: goalie got her glove on it, and.

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: Fortunately she didn't catch it.

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: Fortunately it kind of ricocheted off the glove and went

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: between the legs and found herself in the back of

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: the net. So yeah, she was pretty fired up, and

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: I was definitely fired up to see her score one

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: just kind of get that monkey off her back. I

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: hadn't had a couple of points in a couple of games,

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: so to get that one was huge for well.

49
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: And you know this from playing hoopes. I mean, box

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: scores live forever, right, and in fifteen twenty years from now,

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: no one's going to be seeing, Hey, you know, Taylor,

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: you scored. You scored that somewhat ify goal as part

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: of a as part of a blowout in a semi

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: final game. Tay, you're gonna say, hey, Taylor Heisey scored

55
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. I mean, and that's where you just

56
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of leave it.

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.

58
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, Nardo is right after that, Jason

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: Kelcey and Kylie Kelsey were sitting right behind me. So

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: I go up to him and I'm like, that was

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: my fiance that scored. She's a big fan of you guys.

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: She listened to the podcast and I take a selfie

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: and they were all about it and they were freaking out,

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: and I was freaking out. I was like struggling to

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: take the selfie. My hands were, you know, a little

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: jittery and everything. But they were such nice people and

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: they both had their USA gear on and were cheering

68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: on Taylor and the team.

69
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were. I saw I saw those those posts

70
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: on on social media. And how did was it? Was

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: it immediate? You knew right away they were sitting behind you.

72
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Did you encounter them prior? I mean that was kind

73
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: of cool to run into Jason Kelcey and his wife.

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was super cool.

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: I actually saw him on the concourse and I tried to,

76
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: you know, get a quick picture with him, and he

77
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: was just such a you know, such a gentleman. He

78
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: was taking selfies with everybody. You know, He's just there

79
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: as a fan. He wasn't sitting in some luxury box

80
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: or anything. He was, you know, just Jason Kelcey sitting,

81
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: you know, watching USA hockey. And I think he was

82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: just walking around the concourse like a.

83
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: Normal human being.

84
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: And I tried to snap a quick selfie with him,

85
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: but it wasn't the cleanest you know selfies. I gotta

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: go back and get a second picture, and I gotta

87
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: have Kylie and in this one, and I made it happen.

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: And Kylie said that she wants Taylor on her podcast,

89
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: So we'll see if we can make that happen.

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Huh oh, heck, yeah, that'd be incredible. Now, with that said,

91
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: meeting Jason Kelsey, did you go down the road of well,

92
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm also a lifelong Vikings fan and the twenty seventeen

93
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: NFC title game was a complete freaking disaster, and seeing

94
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: you hoist a Lombardi in the stadium of my favorite

95
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: team hurt me, and therefore I can never forgive you.

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Did you talk to him at all about that?

97
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: I didn't go that deep.

98
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: It was definitely on the brain, that is for sure.

99
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 3: As definitely the first day I kind of thought about

100
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: when I saw him, but didn't go too deep. There

101
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: are thousands of people around tend to take pictures with him.

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: But just the fact that I got to meet him,

103
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: and I think he's done such a good job of

104
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: you know, he's got daughters, and he's just done such

105
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: a good job of supporting women's sports, and it's something

106
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: that you know, I do myself watching Taylor in the

107
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: fact that he was just there as a fan, just

108
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: genuinely consuming the sport was super special to see.

109
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Kind of an odd question, how much how much time

110
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: do you get? For instance, after yesterday's game, there's a

111
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: lot going on. Of course, how much time do you

112
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: get to spend with Taylor or around the team in general,

113
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: in terms of just being able to celebrate a little bit,

114
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: spend some time together. Before you know, the the gate

115
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: closes on the village and you're you're back on your

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: way out.

117
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so athletes. Village is complete athletes, right, So

118
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: we're talking security guards, we've got the police, we got

119
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: you know, the gates are shut around there. But but

120
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: she likes to come outside the village and she's an

121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: avid walker, so she likes to go on walk. So

122
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: yesterday after the game, she did a you know, a

123
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: pretty long media session, took about half an hour. So

124
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: we as a family just kind of headed off to

125
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: dinner and went and got some dinner. But she ended

126
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: up meeting us at the restaurants and had some dinner

127
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: with us, and me and my brother split a tomahawk

128
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 3: steak and then the food out here is just absolutely unbelievable.

129
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: And then we woke up this morning and we went

130
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: to lunch together today. So I would say there's a

131
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: good amount of time that we get to spend together

132
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: just you know, taking your mind.

133
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: Off of it a little bit. Right.

134
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: I think that's such an important thing as an athlete,

135
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: especially when you're in a village surrounded all these other athletes,

136
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: is your mind is focused on your competition, which is good,

137
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: which is important, But I think there has to be

138
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: a little decompression as well. And I think, you know,

139
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: Taylor does a really good job of just identifying that

140
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: for herself and doing whatever she sees fit.

141
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: For that day when you guys had that tomahawk's steak,

142
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: was was the bone still on it? Still had the

143
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: long bone on it?

144
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, big big bone right down the middle. They

145
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: split it open for us and then gave us a

146
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: little bit of salt to you know, you know, the

147
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: salt Bay, to flick a little bit of salt on

148
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: that thing.

149
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: Man, it was believable. I'll tell you what our dinner

150
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: last night was.

151
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: It was special and we had a group of I

152
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: think fifteen people, all you know, all family and friends

153
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: of Taylor and Lake City was definitely in the house

154
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: here in Milan, and we absolutely ate. We ate like kings,

155
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

156
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: You know.

157
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it as I'm at home, of course,

158
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: watching the Olympics yesterday, just kind of how fleeting these

159
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: moments are I mean, doesn't it and you're there, you

160
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: can tell me. But how quickly this is gone? Where

161
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: you first joined us, you'd basically just gotten off the

162
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: plane and you're chatting with us nine to noon and

163
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: now we're talking about a gold medal game just a

164
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: little over a week later.

165
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right, Nor, It's one of those things where,

166
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: you know, I mentioned it, what kind of when we

167
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: started to call here, we you know, most people thought

168
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: it was going to be US Canada, right like it's

169
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: been that way for the last twenty years, and you know,

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: it's the game, it's the rivalry in women's hockey. But

171
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: but I was, you know, intentionally trying to just enjoy

172
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: a moment along the way right out A buddy texting

173
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: this morning, he's like, are you ready to go home?

174
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: And my first response is like, yeah, I missed some

175
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: of the simpler things in America, right, Like I miss

176
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: having some ac in my room. I miss not having to,

177
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: you know, mess with an adapter or you know, every

178
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: restaurant you go to, you got to order, you know,

179
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: little things that you didn't necessarily think you need. So

180
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: like there's some little like minor inconveniences, but that does not,

181
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: you know, surpass the greatness that is the Olympics, right,

182
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: And every time you walk into that stadium and you walk,

183
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: you know, near that ice and you see those Olympic

184
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: rings and you know that, you know, you're supporting somebody

185
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: who's who's living in those big moments. It's really special. So,

186
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: you know, a couple more days here in Milan, so

187
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: we're trying to soak it all in. We're going on

188
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: a food tour this afternoon, trying to get you know,

189
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: all the culture that is Milan. And it's a truly

190
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: special time and it's really special to just watch Taylor

191
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: kind of go through it and enjoy it, and you know,

192
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: it's something that she's been trying to achieve her whole

193
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: life and here she is living it out.

194
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just incredibly special. And then they after let's

195
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, let's say women handle business on Thursday, they

196
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: win the gold. It's not immediately jump on a plane, right.

197
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: Do you at least get to chill for another day

198
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: or so before you adad back?

199
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

200
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they play on the nineteenth. I don't leave

201
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: Milan here until.

202
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 4: The twenty second and then my birthday's on the.

203
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: Twentieth, so I'm spending the birthday at the Big twenty

204
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: seven here in Milan. I think we might go to Venice,

205
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: and the Team USA has a lot of special things

206
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: planned post Olympics for these athletes. It's a really cool

207
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: Olympic house here in Milan called the Winter House, where

208
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: all athletes and former athletes can go and hang out.

209
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: So there's a celebration and.

210
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: Hopefully for a gold medal, Right, you gotta win the

211
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: game after the gold medal game, and then there's just

212
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: a lot of fun things along the way. And I

213
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: think the girls, you know, they've been training for this,

214
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: they've been locked in for this for a while now,

215
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: and and I'm sure after they win gold, hopefully they're

216
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: able to kind of let loose and see what is

217
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: Milan and just enjoy the good time as well.

218
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Now, that's that's awesome, man. I appreciate you spending time

219
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: with me, not just today, but of course last week

220
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: as well. And we'll catch up soon. But soak that in, brother,

221
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: that is just an unbelievable experience. You get to be

222
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: right with it. That that's awesome, man. Congrats to Taylor

223
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: of course on that goal again, it's a goal in

224
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: the Olympics. We shall forget quickly how it happened. It

225
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it counts and uh and we're all just

226
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: incredibly proud and loving what we're watching. This is great,

227
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: that's exactly right.

228
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: Well, we appreciate you guys over here as well. Taylor

229
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: feels all of your guys's love. And make sure all

230
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: the audience are all our roobs are watching. And I

231
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: think about New and Central time on Thursday, USA Canada.

232
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 3: It's the and Women talkie, So we're all fired.

233
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Up here, all right, talk to you soon man, all right,

234
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: talks to him.

235
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: Guys.

236
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: That is Parker Fox from Milan as the United States Women.

237
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: It is gold medal. It's going to be a nooner.

238
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: It's going to be twelve twelve ten on the schedule.

239
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: I believe Brett if that's the case, US and Canada

240
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and I mean I just the freight train.

241
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: It's close until it's not. Every single game. That was

242
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: exactly how Sweden went. You dropped four in the second period,

243
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: cruise control to the finish line. Thursday hoist gold Man.

244
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: What an unbelievable experience, Parker and all the ladies as

245
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: part of the team USA are having and hopefully the

246
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: men get to have a similar experience as they move on.

247
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: They'll probably they'll they'll face the winner as Sweden and Latvia.

248
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Sounds like Sweden should be favored in that affair. We

249
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: shall see that takes places at two o'clock today. Two

250
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: o'clock today, Brett, the Sweden play in matches. Yes, so

251
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Sweden Lafia today. That tells you who the men are

252
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: playing tomorrow that I believe that's also two o'clock and

253
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: then their gold medal game would be later this week

254
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: or they'd go to the Semis after that. Excuse me.

255
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: So we're continuing to follow it the Olympics that we're

256
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: fleeting as these moments can be. We're soaking it in

257
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: while we can. In between the Super Bowl and the Combine,

258
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: there's no pro hockey, there's no pro hoops until later

259
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: this week. We got high school hockey girls tournament I

260
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: think kicks off pretty soon. So we got those sorts

261
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 1: of things, but soaking in these Olympics as well, more talkbacks,

Speaker 1: Machine six four six eighty six, Brad Shawn, Brian KFA

271
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: and text Line. Are we sure Kirk wouldn't be against

272
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: being a backup on a good team? He chases wins?

273
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: After all? I really said that, didn't I? You did? Yeah?

274
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: You want to hear it? Yeah, let's let's hear it.

275
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I think Kirk would almost be happier just potentially leaving

276
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: the league because he's not chasing dollars. I think he's

277
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: he legitimately chases wins. You just can't help it. Laugh,

278
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: there's so dumb. Oh my goodness, Oh man, it's so dumb.

279
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Kirk's Kirk's said, it's very important to Kirk that he

280
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: finds a place where he's comfortable, finds a place where

281
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: he can play, finds a place where he can potentially win.

282
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: But got to get those dollars right. Got to get

283
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: that money right for the right price. Maybe he would

284
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: be Gosh, I love the preposterous statement tournament. As I

285
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: was saying with Saucy at the Open though, it's almost

286
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: painful to hear audio of yourself saying something so asinine

287
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: and ridiculous, and it just I wouldn't send three first

288
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: round picks for Patrick Mahomes.

289
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: It's so good, it's good what I liked it. It

290
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: cuts off so that there could be no further context.

291
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: That's all you need. It doesn't just starting to sense

292
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: with that requires no context. Three first round picks for

293
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Oh my goodness, Eric, what are you doing?

294
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: There's one more in the system. What's talking about? If

295
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: you take away plays like Amen Ross and Brown out

296
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: of the end zone at Detroit, if you take that

297
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: out of the equation, that game winning touchdown, that massive

298
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: spot that he failed in, or if you take away

299
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: last season that fourth and ten at Seattle where he

300
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: loses DK Metcalf and loses the ball in the lights

301
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: and he's six yards away from DK as they convert

302
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: the fourth and tent. I know where this is going,

303
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: and ultimately Metcalf catches the game winning touchdown. If you're

304
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: going to do take those plays out of the mix. Yeah,

305
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Cam Dancer has been pretty good. Cam Dancer, what are

306
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: you doing? Oh yeah, it's I guess you know. I didn't.

307
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know that this was gonna be like a

308
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: like a therapist couch that I'm somewhat hunched over on now,

309
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: laughing in my own idiocy. I just want this team

310
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: to win, man, I want this team to win. And

311
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: since I was a child growing up in fan Cato

312
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: going to training camp, loving this team, watching the team,

313
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: I just want this team to win so badly, and

314
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: as part of that, there's emotion there. There shouldn't be.

315
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: It's sports, it's a kid's game, but there's emotion there.

316
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you listening have some Rube like emotion

317
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: and connection to this particular team as well. I do.

318
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: Let's just all be honest about it. We are Rubes, right.

319
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: That emotion and that just, I mean, just unbridled love

320
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: for this team finally, at some point getting their way

321
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: to the top of the mountain and hoisting that trophy,

322
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: not even being able to at forty one years old,

323
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you what getting there looks like

324
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: much less actually following through and closing out with the W.

325
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: I've just seen field goals going the wrong way. I've

326
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: just seen interceptions over the middle of the field. I've

327
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: seen and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say forty

328
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: one donut, Sean Payton and the Giant staff we're listening

329
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: in our place, regardless of how realistic or accurate that is.

330
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: I've seen all of those things and it sucks. And

331
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: so as part of that, I may try to sell

332
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: myself on Cam Danceler and in the process sound completely

333
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: out of my mind. And it's because I want this

334
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: team to win so badly, and at one point you

335
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: think about it, you know, let's go back the emotion

336
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: of being a Vikings loving roupe. So last spring we

337
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: talked about it in the open and I'm sure everything's

338
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: perfect over in Green Bay, Brett, so just you can

339
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: just let me opine and just think back to my

340
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: own team. But we were talking about it in last spring.

341
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly history concussions, but other nicks and injuries in

342
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: recent years. You want to sell yourself that he's on

343
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: the com health wise and that he's going to be productive.

344
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: And we know throughout his career, when he is healthy,

345
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: he's damn good at center didn't work out. You want

346
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: to sell the idea that Javon Hargrave as productive as

347
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: he's been, whether it was San Francisco, spent some time

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: with Philly as well, been to two Super Bowls, I believe. Sadly,

349
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: I think he was on the losing side of both

350
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: of those. But if he's healthy, this is what it

351
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: could be. And I can't help it. Naturally. I sit

352
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: and I look at these situations, and that is my

353
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: first inclination. It's not he only played and you know,

354
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: look at at fri'es. He only played in five games

355
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: last year, and it took him about sixteen games this year.

356
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: It feels like before I was kind of starting to go, h,

357
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: all right, I think we can work with this. But

358
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: everything Jonathan Allen missing nearly half the season, he played

359
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: in seven or eight games. My first inclination is not oof,

360
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: he only played in a handful of games last year.

361
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: This is a potential disaster. My first inclination is my

362
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: instinct would be if he stays healthy and finds that form,

363
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: this could be a game change and acquisition for US.

364
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean I can't even look back. I was excited

365
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: about Makai Blackman out of USC in twenty twenty three,

366
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: not because I had watched every game that Makai Blackman

367
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: ever played in college. I was excited about the prospect

368
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: of him potentially being a playmaker in this defense. A

369
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: Caleb Evans remember him, the Mizoo Kid. I know you

370
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: don't Brett, but Vikings fans do. A Caleb Evans Missouri.

371
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: He was incredibly funny and amusing on X. I'm sure

372
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: he still is. Had like a pet rabbit or something

373
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: like that. Really cool per personality. Good dude was forced

374
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: into the mix to make some plays. Did great fourth

375
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: down I think it was fourth and long, and again

376
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: it was it was Heinike's. Was it WFT or was

377
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: it the commanders at that point? Maybe it was the

378
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Commander's by that time. But he he makes this terrific

379
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: place like, oh, we might have something with the Caleb.

380
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Did we on the answer? We know the answer to that.

381
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: Andrew Booth excited about him. We trade back in twenty

382
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: twenty two to get Lewis scene could have had Kyle Hamilton.

383
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: We've had that conversation to no end. Okay, but this

384
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: guy was kind of he was kind of a benchmark

385
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: playmaker for that Georgia defense and then he tears up

386
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: his leg at Tottenham and it's never the same. Frankly,

387
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't even ready to start and be productive prior

388
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: to that injury. So I'm an emotional roube. I want

389
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: my team to win. So when I see, Hey, Brian Osimoa,

390
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: undersized quick linebacker out of Oklahoma, great name, and I

391
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: believe at the time he has a Ghanaian He's of

392
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Ghanaian descent from Ghana, and there was that connection, and

393
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: then you know, it's like, Okay, that's cool, quasi Ghanayan.

394
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: I believe Brian as Mowah or well that's maybe that's

395
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: the problem too. Is it used to be Asamoa and

396
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: then it evolved to assome Wah. Maybe that affected his play.

397
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I was excited he had a

398
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: couple of cool moments that his rookie season in twenty

399
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: twenty two. Did it work out? No, it did not.

400
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: So when I look at some of these names and

401
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: I get excited about some of our players, it's because

402
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: I am willing in my Rube loving heart. I want

403
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: them to succeed them. Succeeding is good for them, and

404
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: it's good for me as as a Vikings fan. So

405
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: that's just a little rubelike emotion attached sometimes to what

406
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: we're looking at here in terms of the Vikings draft.

407
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: To the talkbacks on a talkback Tuesday, I like this.

408
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: One one, JB.

409
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Here, give me.

410
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: Jamis Winston.

411
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Yes, give me famous Jamis for thirty king yeap. Give

412
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: me the guy that's gonna go out there.

413
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: He's gonna give JJ McCarthy just enough for push.

414
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Probably still lets JJ win the job, but enough guy.

415
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: Where push comes to shove. If this has got to

416
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: be our dude going down, we.

417
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Got him and I love that. Thank you for the talkback, JB.

418
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. If anything, it would be fun. It'd be

419
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: fun to have him on the team. He can throw

420
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns, he can throw thirty picks in a season

421
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: as well. Talkbacks Derek Carr super Bowl home bar. Yeah,

422
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: I read. I read an article yesterday I think could

423
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: have been ESPN or NFL dot com, just kind of

424
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: bouncing around the websites seeing what's being aggregated, seeing the fodder,

425
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: and I saw something or at least a headline. I

426
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't dive into the article. Derek Carr would unretire for

427
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: a chance to win a Super Bowl? Well, who wouldn't.

428
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: First of all, who would we have Chad Greenway in

429
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: here on a weekly basis? He thinks he could still

430
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: give you ten to fifteen, maybe twenty snaps in a

431
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: game some semblance of high level and frankly, knowing Chad,

432
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna argue with him. He don't retire for

433
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: a chance to win a Super Bowl, I'm sure of it.

434
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Would Derek Carr look at the vikings and say, if

435
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: I join this team, I have a chance to win

436
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. And that's where then rubes like me

437
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: talking about the emotion of it, I got to step away. No,

438
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: the injury, the injury riddled past of some of these

439
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: free agents that we've rolled the dice on, that is disastrous.

440
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why we're in this spot.

441
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: Cam Dantler was indeed as bad as advertised. And you

442
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: can't remove those plays. What a preposterous statement, My goodness,

443
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: those sorts of we're removing the emotion from it? Is

444
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: this a super Bowl winning team with the are they

445
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: a piece away a quarterback away. That's a difficult thing

446
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: to answer there. Continuing with the talkbacks again, Talker Tuesday

00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning guys. Mitch here from South Saint Paul,

464
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 5: so talking about the quarterback situation for next year. I

465
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: think this ceiling should be like a Joe Burrow, But

466
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 5: in all honesty, it's going to be probably the floor,

467
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: like somebody like a mac Jones or a Derek Carr

468
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 5: or something like that. But I mean, I feel like

469
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 5: they're just going to try to roll with JJ and

470
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 5: I bring in too much competition because we need those

471
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: draft picks, and in order to get a quarterback, we

472
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 5: happy to give up the draft picks. But here we

473
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: are skull Vikings School Vikes.

474
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for the talkbacks. It's a talker Tuesday, nine to noon.

475
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: Kind of open the show, just a little potpourri chat

476
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: with Saucy. Actually, I received a text message they want

477
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Meat Sauce to host nine to noon, More Sauce all

478
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: the time. We'll see if we can. I'll talk to

479
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: Abbit about it after the show. Meat Sauce host of

480
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: nine to Noon, More Sauce all the Time, Draft conversation

481
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: combine chatter with Saucy to begin the show, just kind

482
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: of running down the line of just the positions that

483
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: we are we've put ourselves in from a best player

484
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: available standpoint, the quarterback. I mean, kind of proving just

485
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: this ridiculous, this spectrum again of what you can do

486
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: with the spot, and we're all just sitting here. I mean,

487
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't. My head's my head's spinning on it. Because

488
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: the best option was us selecting a good quarterback in

489
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: the draft. That was the that was the ideal option

490
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: that this coaching staff, that this this this team was

491
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: going to select somebody that they had immense faith in,

492
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: that they had a terrific plan to develop that somebody

493
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: that could put on the field and win games with

494
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: and ascend with. That's the best option. And I'm worried

495
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: after such a short sample size that were already in

496
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: a spot where we have to decide did we make

497
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: a mistake. And what we've seen on the field mixed

498
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: to say the least problematic, to be sure. And that's

499
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: just what we've seen on the field. The other issue,

500
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: of course, is kids had trouble staying on the field

501
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: being available, and so all of that put together, the

502
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: best option would have been nailing it in the draft,

503
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: and that was It feels in this moment like a failure,

504
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: doesn't it. And so I am in the camp where

505
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: I can't I can't give up on that. I need

506
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: to see more before my opinion is dried concrete. But

507
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: it can't continue on that way now for former Coach

508
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: of the Year, he's re upped. We got the extension

509
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: and all of that. You dismissed the GM. Winning games

510
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: certainly at the front of that conversation in terms of

511
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: moving forward winning games now might not include JJ McCarthy.

512
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: I love this text sixty four six eighty six brat

513
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: Shawn Bryant kfan text line. Why is it that Parker's

514
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: phone connection halfway across the world in Milan is crystal clear?

515
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Yet Lavell calls in from ten miles away most days

516
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: and it sounds like he's inside an aquarium. I always

517
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: love that one. It's true. That's why bumper to bumper

518
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: and you work all the shows, so you've you've probably

519
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: been at the Lavell bingo card of sorts where it

520
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: can be from a timing standpoint, it could be like

521
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: the cheek dialing numbers on the phone, he'lls you to

522
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: the switch him just not answering, yeah, calling the cell

523
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and then at last second actually call my home line.

524
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Just the various things that can occur, including yes, the

525
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: distant the aquarium, like you sound like you're right here,

526
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: we can.

527
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: We can just get our.

528
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: Mouth just a little bit closer to the receiver though.

529
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: There we go. Welcome back, long time, one of the greats.

530
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: Lavell O Neil the third, always an adventure. Lavell's got

531
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: some serious interview stuff. I was talking to him yesterday

532
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: trying to find time for him to jump in here

533
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: with PA over the next week or so. He's got

534
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: some some massive stuff coming down the pipeline. So looking

535
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: forward to having Lavell. We'll do it in studio so

536
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: he sounds better in FM versus the home line text line.

537
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm confused by most of these talkbacks. Do you really

538
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: want a guy to come in who's going to improve

539
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: us to being a slightly less mediocre team, make a

540
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: wild card game and lose? Is that what people want?

541
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Just better than we had? So we can live in

542
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the draft like we did for decades

543
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: and not have a chance at a true generational talent.

544
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: We either need major improvements or roll with the kid,

545
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: win the division, or go in the dump. The middle

546
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: isn't the path the future success. That sounds a lot

547
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: like someone Noon to three would say historically good or

548
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: biblically bad. That's exactly what that text are saying. And

549
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: fair enough, let's see here, just getting a text from

550
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: John Bonus working on some time, working on this time

551
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: of joining sometime during the final hour biblically bad historically good,

552
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: isn't that? Doesn't that tran Has that ever been a

553
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: talker with the wild Oh? Yeah, for sure? Kind of

554
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the idea of never bottoming out.

555
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's a point where it's a very

556
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: polarizing because it draws such heavy emotional reaction to the

557
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: thought that we could be bad and have meaningless hockey

558
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: for two three, four years.

559
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not anywhere.

560
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: That was, you know, five years ago when I thought

561
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: they should have done it, when the Parisian suitor buyouts

562
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: first started, that was the time to do it. Now

563
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: it's we're full, we're pushing all the chips in the

564
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: center of the table. But at a time there was like, well,

565
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: we're already one hand tied behind her back. Why not

566
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: just load up on prospects and draft picks and see

567
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: what happens if you can build something. Because in the

568
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: Blackhawks have had a dynasty, torn it down and they're

569
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: back to being built up. I mean in two years

570
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: they could be back to their scary side with Badard.

571
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: They got Badard because they tore it all down. So

572
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 2: they on that trajectory again, I would say not this year,

573
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: maybe not next year, but they're the trajectory is upward

574
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: for the really yeah. And that they did it by

575
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: tearing it all down. They got Cane and Taves by

576
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: carring tearing it all down before that, so well, and

577
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: that does work.

578
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: That's where that's where it hit with me. Was a

579
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: decade or more ago, when I mean we're watching you know,

580
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: knit a rider, you know, win the series against the Abs,

581
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: and those sorts of it was. It was it was unbelievable,

582
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, Mikyle Granlin scoring goals on his on his side,

583
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, laying on the ice. I mean, just really

584
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: really cool moments. But I just remember that being a

585
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: conversation when it was feeling very inevitable that it's still

586
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Cane and Taves and Duncan, Keith and Crawford and that

587
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: and and those guys that in the end the Hawks

588
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: were going to do their thing. And but it was

589
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: because they were so bad that they were able to

590
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: acquire Cane and Taves and the NFL the way the

591
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: way that it's set up. I don't know necessarily that

592
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: you have to I mean part of frankly, I mean

593
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: this jumps back into the draft conversation and how important

594
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: acing the draft is. The best teams haven't necessarily had

595
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: to bottom out. I mean, the Chiefs were winning playoff

596
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: games with Alex Smith and they drafted Patrick Mahomes. The

597
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks never really bottoming out, but finding their way to

598
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: effectively two different generations of Super Bowl teams. And that's

599
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: just terrific drafting, terrific financial work on the inside, acquiring

600
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: the right veterans and in this particular case, pulling the

601
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: plug at the right time. They were gonna give Geno

602
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Smith money. He's like, I want more, and they said, nah,

603
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're just gonna move on, and they find

604
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: their way to to Sam Darnold. We see teams, I mean,

605
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: are the Titans. Are the Titans a team that, by

606
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: nature of being absolutely awful? Did they scare you in

607
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six? And I know that's that's cherry picking

608
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: a particular spot, but I also think I also think

609
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: with the drafting of the Minnesota Vikings over the last

610
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: however many years, and you can really go back aways.

611
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: In some areas we've absolutely flourished. In other areas we've

612
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: been historically dreadful. You know, I would say, and I

613
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: think Christian darrisaw is certainly in the pro column. I'm

614
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: very excited about Donovan Jackson, Brian O'Neil. Okay, so so

615
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: three out of the five of our offensive line, you know,

616
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: Brian O'Neill backside of his career, to be fair, But

617
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: in the end you look at those, you're like, those

618
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: are wins in the draft. But how many times have

619
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: we opened up you know, we do an offense, we'll

620
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: do offensive linemen of the day in this time of year,

621
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: to decide who we're going to pick in the draft,

622
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: to finally figure out how to run the ball effectively,

623
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: finally figure out how to keep the quarterback up right

624
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: often we've done that over the course of time. Do

625
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: you feel if at this stage, if we were to

626
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: bottom out that that would necessarily guarantee improvement either the

627
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: best teams. It feels like to me, while they did

628
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: the one thing, however, that we can't do or haven't done.

629
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: They nail the quarterback, they nail the court. That's why

630
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: you give that's why, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know.

631
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: I heard an idiot on this radio station some time

632
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: ago say that they wouldn't give up three first round

633
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: picks for Patrick Mahomes. That guy's a moron, unbelievably stupid.

634
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: I always love that one nail the quarterback, right. Our

635
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: team has failed to do that, and so we've neither

636
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: been successful at nailing the quarterback and building around him,

637
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: or now in the more recent times, nail the draft

638
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: create a roster around a QB that can win. So

639
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: we've really failed in both areas. But I get the

640
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: sentiment and it's still a and back to the emotional

641
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: rube thought. I have a hard time with the idea that,

642
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, if they start zero to three in twenty

643
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: twenty six, I'm not begging for him to win two

644
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: games the whole season. That's brutal, that's dreadful if that

645
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: was to take place, by the way, we might be

646
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: a year from now talking about other significant or substantial

647
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: changes with the organization. So bad times, best of times.

648
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: Living in the middle is no fun place to be.

649
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: And that's again we've failed on every end in some respects,

650
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: and as of now again fail as it relates to

651
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, it hasn't looked good. It's looked hideous for

652
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: the most part. Are we ready to give up on

653
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: that now? As it pertains to the QB, though, I

654
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: will agree with the Texter, you're either going to continue

655
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: to support him or you're going to go big game

656
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: hunting the in between stuff, the mac jones types. I

657
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 1: think I would tend to agree that that isn't going

658
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: to be any sort of answer, whether it's twenty twenty

659
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: six or beyond Talker Tuesday. At the end of the show,

660
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get a twenty five dollars Northern Fire gift card.

661
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Talkbacks Free iHeartRadio app. But let's just swing on into

662
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,919

Speaker 2: That game is at two ten Central. You've also got

669
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: the Checks and the Danish playing right now. The Dames

670
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: just tied it up one pint one in the second period.

671
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: So in the winner of this game will play Canada,

672
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: and meanwhile on the women's side, US and Canada once

673
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: again in the gold medal game.

674

Speaker 1: That's Thursday at two o'clock.

675
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: So plenty of US hockey and Olympic Hockey two be watched.

676
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: I looked at the entire like Olympic schedule is just

677
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: a list of all the events going on today.

678
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: Gold Zone.

679
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: If you want to watch everything is probably your best

680
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: bet because they're I mean, I'm looking at like thirty

681
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: five forty different things going on today at some point

682
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: in time, but I'm locked into the hockey, especially with

683
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: two couple good teams that like the checks in the Danish.

684
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, does it kind of feel so? Our show, specifically

685
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: Nine to Noon, has always, i mean, the identity of

686
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: it is the host, right, it's Paul Allen, voice and

687
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: vikings and so football has always been a very very

688
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: prominent thing, to the point where some sometimes I'll even

689
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: see it like, oh, football season's finally over. So so

690
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: now you will acknowledge that the wild exists, or that

691
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: you know and the Wolves coach on weekly, et cetera.

692
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: John Hines on weekly, but certainly football would probably be

693
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: an a topic. I think that's obvious. This like, we're

694
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: going to soak in this hockey for every single minute

695
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: of it, and then it's just going to be gone.

696
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, I'll tell you this as fun

697
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: as fun as it's been part of me. One of

698
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: my favorite parts about the about the Olympics is all

699
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: the NHL players that are representing their country. Now I'm

700
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: going to recognize them later in the season or in

701
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: wild games for instance. Yeah, foxa, I know, is it

702
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: faxa or foxa? I say foxa? Okay, Tomash hurdle, hurdle.

703
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: We know, hurdle with the Golden Knights. These are the checks.

704
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Martin neckis he's with the Avs. Andre

705
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: Pilott familiar with him, Pastor Nak who doesn't know about

706
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: him in the in the bees. What else do we have?

707
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: We got Philippe Heronic Vancouver Canucks. I wonder do you

708
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: think is it rad coo goddess your truck accessory store.

709
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: I wonder, yea, I wonder how that's pronounced rad co.

710
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 4: Anyway.

711
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: And that's just the checks. And then on the Danish

712
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: side they got Nikolai Eelers know him, Lars Eller not

713
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: familiar the York strand Freddie Anderson, and he's the Hurricanes keeper,

714
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: a netminder, I believe, No, I just I'm loving the hockey.

715
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm in on the hockey as well. That was a long,

716
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: boring way to say that.

717
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: Number two, I've got another quarterback as the checks just

718
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: qure to go up to one another quarterback potential and

719
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: if you don't like it, just send it right back.

720
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 2: But there's a very highly drafted quarterback in the twenty

721
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: twenty three drafts that seems, according to ESPN, Stephanie Holder,

722
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: seems inevitable that he will request a trade from the

723
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 2: Colts this season. Anthony richardson your thoughts.

724
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: Well, my so my first thoughts. So I was reading

725
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis has talked about this, Guessing talked about this

726
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: just about anybody that covers the Vikings and follows the

727
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: Vikings from that side of things, just kind of mentioning

728
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: the the the style of the offense. And so I've

729
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: been looking at I'm been trying to keep an open

730
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: mind on the QB spot and again love all the talkbacks.

731
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: Keep the names coming. I haven't seen any talkbacks mentioning

732
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. Yet, if it's true that the game plan

733
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: that the game plan for JJ McCarthy to operate within

734
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's specific offense, if there is any rigidity there

735
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: on the part of the coach to alter what he

736
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: wants to do schematically in that offense, and that it's

737
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: it's as much okay, So you either mold the Star

738
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: to the plan or you mold the plan to the Star.

739
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: I like the idea of molding the plan to the

740
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: Star myself, But schemes are schemes, and people are proud

741
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: of them, and when they're operated right, they work really well.

742
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: Won fourteen games with with Sam Darnold a year ago.

743
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: We know that Anthony Richardson feels to me and by

744
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: the end, and this is health issues aside as well

745
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: as he has trouble stayed on the field, that feels

746
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: to me like a very very much would have to

747
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: mold the plan to the Star, because I don't think

748
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: the Star could ever potentially run the plan, and so

749
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: that would do absolutely nothing for me other than again,

750
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: Rube Nord's coming in or Nardo, as the transcription looks

751
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: like on the free iHeartRadio app for talkbacks. Rube Nardo

752
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: thinks about it and says, he's pretty young, he's pretty

753
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty athletic. He's been hurt a lot. But I

754
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: just I'm not ready to do that. Maybe that's my

755
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: change in twenty twenty six. I'm gonna be calm. I

756
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be more pessimistic. I just want my

757
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: team to pick the right freaking guys and win games.

758
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: I don't think Anthony Richardson for me would be uh

759
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: would be an answer to that. You know there's another one.

760
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. I think it

761
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: was Todd McShay had mentioned that c J. Stroud could

762
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: potentially be available this offseason. That's a home run for me.

763
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 2: You love Jay, I think he's got all the potential

764
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 2: in the world. And you put CJ in the Kevin

765
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: O'Connell system, I mean, you're looking good. I think that's

766
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: a that would be a the home run higher would

767
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: be or the home run trade would be Burrow or Lamar.

768
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: But I think the next tier down from that. I

769
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: mean c J.

770
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: Stroud is rookie year. People are talking he's one of

771
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks in football.

772
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: But then he played, but then he played two more years. Yeah,

773
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: that's correct.

774
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 2: I think it's there's something there still that Koc could

775
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: potentially bring out of him. That would be if I

776
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: were a Vikings fan and you tell me you can't

777
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: get Joe Burrow or Lamar, which is probably these, I

778
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: think that would be my next guy that would want

779
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: to go after way more than a Richardson who tapped

780
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: out when he was tuckered in his rookie season.

781
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: He just I got to take a playoff. Maybe I'm tired.

782
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: People get tired. People get very tired.

783
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: Not pro athletes, not supposed to holy cats.

784
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm excited. Well, the reason I was taking that

785
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: text from John Bonus, you could acknowledge that I'm normally

786
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: quite attentive to what you're saying most of the time,

787
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: most of the time that I'm seeing. Potentially that John

788
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: Bonis is in the Pablo Lopez done for the season,

789
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: meat grinder. Potentially you can't make that up. So I

790
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: think as of now, GM Jeremy Zol may have just

791
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: given either a public interview or a presser. We may

792
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: hear from Pablo. We'll see, yeah, Pablo. Wow. Okay, So

793
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: I think we will hear from We will hear from

794
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: from Pablo himself at some point today potentially, so Pablo

795
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: Lopez might be done for the year for the Minnesota Twins,

796
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: So we'll have to we'll dig into that. And again

797
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: I got Bonus trying to trying to work his way

798
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: through all of that, and then he notes that he

799
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: may call in when he finds a free few minutes.

800
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: So we'll hopefully hear from John Bonus here during the

801
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: final hour. To CJ Stroud, we'll see how can you

802
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: How can I be optimistic? I mean, we haven't even

803
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: started games yet, we had a fire sale, Falvey rage quit,

804
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: and now our best pitcher is potentially out for the year.

805
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: Maybe pessimism, pessimism in twenty twenty six is the way

806
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: to go, but I can't do it. The thing was CJ.

807
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: The next two seasons, huge regression. Second year, I think

808
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: there's a bounce back in spots. I know it's been

809
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: because of our issues on the offensive line this year.

810
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: We look at Houston and we see at Ingram and

811
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: we see a couple of highlights where at Ingram's just

812
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: mowing people down. It's like, see why Clacy made a

813
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: good pick and we just didn't coach him. Get rid

814
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: of Chris on the O line and he would have

815
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: been better. We didn't need to get rid of him.

816
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: That offensive line in Houston has some issues, and the

817
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: combination like Nico Coley. You think about Tank Dell and

818
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: all the brutal injuries that he's had digs and then

819
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: you have Nico Collins and his struggles to get healthy.

820
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: They got a couple of young receivers I believe from

821
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Iowa State. Is there a Noel? I believe one of them.

822
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: But to that end, the skilled players around him. Mixon

823
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: was unhealthy the whole year, and they tried to dust

824
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: off Bradley Chubb. In moments he was pretty good. But overall, yes,

825
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: if he didn't cost anything, then I would say, But

826
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: then that gets back into are we if we truly

827
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: believe that's a home run, then it's then it's probably

828
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: worth it. How much does it cost? And then we

829
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: look at the depth and the other things around us.

830
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: You're in the meat grinder of immediately having to figure

831
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: out his contract in the long term. Entering his fourth year.

832
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: I think he can get the fifth year option. I

833
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: believe you have to make that decision this spring, later

834
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: on in May or something like that. How much he's

835
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: going to cost? A lot of this was built here

836
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: in Minnesota around a kid on a rookie contract. So again,

837
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of things that

838
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: play into that. I just I wonder how much he

839
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: would garner. I mean, are we talking a couple firsts

840
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: for him? Is that?

841
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: What?

842
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: Through three years? When you look at him, do you

843
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: see two first round picks? I'd be interested to kind

844
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: of go through the mental machinations of that. But CJ. Stroud, Now,

845
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: after all of that, there's a local beat writer in Houston.

846
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: I think his name's John McClain, not John McClain from

847
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: Nakotomi Plaza, Okay, I wanted to be sure. Yeah, the

848
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: other John McLain, who's written for the Houston Chronicle for

849
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: like half a century almost He says it ain't happening,

850
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: but we shall see maybe everyone kya, yeah, yippie kaye. Indeed,

851
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: everybody's got a price. Maybe we'll see. So anything else

852
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: on the on the news front, here we can straddle.

853
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm down for a straddle. What do you got? Well?

854
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: Also, I've got swell just run through them Kenneth Walker

855
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 2: unlikely to get the franchise tag, so he could be

856
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: available for someone to pick up a very good player.

857
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: We've got the MLBPA.

858
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: The executive director Tony Clark resigned, leaving the union without

859
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: its longtime leader less than a year before the MLB's

860
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 2: collective bargaining agreement ends.

861
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're I mean, that's not a good sign.

862
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: It just we're so far away from baseball in this town,

863
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 2: especially in this building, it just feels and this town

864
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 2: is just over the Twins at times, and just the

865
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: frustration and Papulopez, of course that happens that he gets hurt.

866
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: It's just so Twins like to then have a shutdown

867
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: too on top of that, and a potential lockout that

868
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: to me, that would be bad, bad business for baseball,

869
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: who's already kind of at least in the.

870
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: National in my opinion.

871
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: But maybe that's maybe that's out of sight, out of mind,

872
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: because the Twins are not very competitive and they don't

873
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: want to spend that we're just like over baseball, and

874
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: maybe in other markets they are die hard and we

875
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 2: can't wait for pitchers and catchers. In the first spring

876
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: training game, we're gonna look at the game cast online.

877
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: But here, I mean, if there's a lock out here

878
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 2: may even forget where target field is not literally.

879
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: Well, there are absolutely markets who are excited for pitchers

880
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: and catchers to report, and there are even there are

881
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: even markets where they don't spend Dodgers' money and are

882
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: super excited. I mean Brewers fans, I mean they are

883
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: an incredibly loyal, ardent fan base, even up in Detroit

884
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: at times when the team's been really bad. Now they're

885
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: kind of I mean they're you know, looking good in

886
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: a bad ale central. But I mean the we just

887
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: we were not unique in the fact that we've struggled.

888
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: But maybe the the long time, if there's any if

889
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: there's any you knowsity about the ownership group and just

890
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: how things have gone here. And then again in recent times,

891
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: you finally get over that hump you'd lost eighteen or

892
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: nineteen straight playoff games, You take two from the Blue Jays,

893
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: advance into the Alds, and then you effectively just cut

894
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: all the trees down. I mean that is you know

895
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: a lot of fans will look at that as a

896
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: slap in the face. And yesterday you're going to talk

897
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: about posterous statements. It's a I think I said, I

898
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: said something like the pole ads are cheap, but are

899
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: they welcome back? There's a combination, there's a combination of

900
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: thoughts that lead into that, where you know, cutting revenue,

901
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: but where are they getting the money? Bad TV deal? Okay,

902
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: these are these are all things that you have to

903
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: be frustrated about with the team and how they've been

904
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: managed and pushed along here. There's no doubt about it.

905
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: But if the Twins were to spend an extra one

906
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars this season, do you believe they would

907
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: be in a spot to compete? Now I'm mentioning this

908
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: after we just found out about Pablo, So that's let's

909
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: pretend Pablo. Let's just go back in time, like an

910
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: hour when it felt like it wasn't necessarily a worrisome situation,

911
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: and now we know what we know. A CAP league

912
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: sounds like a parody generator revenue revenue sharing sounds like

913
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: a path where we don't have to wait what has

914
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: now been more than a decade since the Royals win

915
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: a World Series that we are in the mix, that

916
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: we and we're in the mix on free agents and

917
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: you see cap leagues and the NFL has done everything

918
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: they can to manipulate the cap. The NBA does everything

919
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: they can to manipulate the cap. I get it. It's

920
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: not perfect. Maybe the best cap structure and the most

921
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: straightforward might actually be the NHL if you dig into

922
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: to that. And I'm not a capology expert with any

923
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: of these leagues, but just generally the most straightforward's been

924
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: the NHL. A cap in Major league based ball? Are

925
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: we too far down the road? What would be the

926
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: process if there is a lockout and a stoppage and

927
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: and an evolution to a cap? I wonder how long

928
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: it would take to get there. You got a lot

929
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: of contracts and a lot of money promised. If you're

930
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, you have like a billion in deferred dollars

931
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: for after these contracts are over. What that change would

932
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: look like would be shocking to the sport. But the

933
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: combination of a bad team that breeds apathy and then

934
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: a lockout, yes, I think locally that would be that

935
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: would be a massive issue. Stating the obvious, and as

936
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: it pertains to the baseball team, and I.

937
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: Think that a lockout debating the cap would be a

938
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 2: disaster result because if you're a player. I just want

939
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 2: to get paid. I want to get paid as much

940
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 2: as I humanly can. If you put a cap on it,

941
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 2: then I'm not going to get paid as much and

942
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 2: no one's going to be making as much. So that

943
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 2: to me, the toothpaste is already out of the tube

944
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 2: as far as the salary cap is concerned.

945
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, but then if you even if you put.

946
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: Floors, you know, you have to spend X amount of

947
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: money to protect against the pole ads or the pirates

948
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: or whoever it may be, or the A's even that's

949
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 2: not going to be very popular with them. Yeah, it's

950
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: just I feel like that lockout is going to be

951
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: a disaster compared to you know, the NHL one where

952
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 2: they had lost half the season, or the football one

953
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: as well. So I think it's bad, bad news if

954
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: there's a blockout for baseball.

955
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,479
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you, my friend. That's news

956
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: Denord brought to you by the Casino at Canterbury Parkcanterbury

957
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: Park dot Com. Final hour around the corner, and we're

958
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: going to try to catch up with John Bonus, hoping

959
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: to get some intel in terms of Pablo Lopez and

960
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: news that he might be out of the mix for

961
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Final hour ahead. It's noord to in
