1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of music festival is coming August nineteenth, 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Willie Nelson, the Avi Brothers, Lucas Nelson and more. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 2: Mystic Lake Amphitheater. Tickets are available now. 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: We get all the details KFE and dot com keyword calendar. 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: Okay, when I have the tire Wood story. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 3: There are a couple of troubling reports out there, but 7 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: we're going to wait until there's a little bit more 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 3: confirmation on some of them, I believe. I do want 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 3: to get to a little background on the time when 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: the University of Alabama played ten more than ten minutes 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 3: with three players on the court against the Golden Gophers. 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 3: It was November of two thousand seventeen. It was the 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 3: game was at the Barclays Center, it was the Barclays 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: Center Classic, and basically they ended up They finished that 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: game with Colin Sexton, Galen Smith, and Riley Norris for 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 3: the final ten forty one for the Tide, who cut 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: their deficit to three with one thirty two to play. 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 3: But ultimately the Gophers, who were at the time ranked fourteenth, 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: won the game eighty nine to eighty four. And the 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: player shortage problem was and I had forgotten this part 21 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: of it the entire bench was ejected after a big 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: scuffle had broken out, a big fight between the players 23 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: of both teams. So that's in this case why Alabama. 24 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: In this case, officials decide to room the entire Alabama bench. 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: Those players proceeded to walk to the locker room. By rule, 26 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: whenever a potential situation occurs in the court, no player 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: may leave the bench area. If they do leave the 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: bench area and don't participate in the altercations going on, 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: then they are ejected from this contest. There's no further penalty. 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: The officials total pool reporter, they all came on court. 31 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: We went to the monitor and reviewed all of that. 32 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 3: So that was the circumstance. Despite playing with just three, 33 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: Bama went on a twenty six to sixteen run. He 34 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 3: can't even make that up. But the Gophers ultimately did 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: survive on that particular situation. So stay tuned for more 36 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: that might be coming. Also an update on injury update 37 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: involving your favorite basketball team, the Minnesota Timberwolves. They're back 38 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: in action in a national TV game tomorrow. I believe 39 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: it's afternoon against the Pistons, and we know Edwards is 40 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 3: still out. We also now know that Jaden McDaniels, dealing 41 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: with right knee soreness, is also out for that game, 42 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: and Iodasumu is listed who's got calf issues, is listed 43 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: as questionable as well. So there's your injury update involving 44 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: a team the Wolves that have been, you know, relatively 45 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 3: healthy through much of the season, but lately have kind 46 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: of hit more of the injury bug. And it obviously 47 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: the one could say, the worst time possible. One other 48 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: baseball nugget and this is this has brought a smile 49 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: to Brett Blakemore's face because he's a big replay guy. 50 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: He is a replay terrorist, and he couldn't be more 51 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: delighted about the Major League Baseball's new automated ball strike 52 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: challenge system. Is that a fair representation of your position? 53 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: I enjoy it? 54 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: You are now you're understanding it. You more than enjoy it. 55 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: You revel in it. It is, so we'll go ahead. Well, 56 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: we mentioned on the overall. We can talk with the 57 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: overall numbers and stats and now good umpires are. But then, 58 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: but it's not the clips because I saw yesterday there 59 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: was two. It is back to back challenge one by 60 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: the catcher won by the batter that were almost in 61 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: the exact same spot where they were called two different 62 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: ways by the umpire and it got overturned both times. 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: So I'm I'm a get it right guy. The whole 64 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: video is like a minute long. As long as it 65 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: doesn't take too long, I'm okay with it. Uh yeah, 66 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: the early signs are encouraging there that it because the 67 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: basically you can't it's not like you could wait if 68 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 3: you're if you're the hitter, you can't wait for some 69 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: kind of a signal from the dugout where they're looking 70 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: at stuffs. They correct appeal it now all I'm sure 71 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: there's going to be the Houston Astros will find a 72 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: way to cheat on it because that's their history. Maybe 73 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: they'll get the ten can back out. I don't know, 74 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 3: but it's all got to be quick. It's got to 75 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 3: be either the hitter or the pitcher or the catcher correct. 76 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 3: Those are the only three who can actually do, you know, 77 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: call for an appeal. 78 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: They can't do the NBA thing where they immediately put 79 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: their hand up and start waving their fingers around. 80 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: I sure that they review it, that's true. 81 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: Now here's the the text from that. 82 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: I that I tweet. 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: That it was somebody who covers baseball, absolutely reveling in 84 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: how that individual thought the new rule worked, and in 85 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: a couple of cases it might have even had some 86 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: impact on the outcome of the game. My issue with 87 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: it is, oh, look, I don't lose any sleep over it. 88 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 3: Knock yourselves out if it's important to you, and we 89 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: got to get it right, blah blah blah, and I 90 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: get all of that. But what fascinated me was by 91 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: the way the background is, each team gets two challenges 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: to start the game. Immediately after pitch is thrown, and 93 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: with no help from the dugout and deciding, the pitcher, catcher, 94 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: hitter can challenge the ball or strike by tapping his 95 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: helmet or his hat. The umpire will then acknowledge acknowledge 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: the challenge, and the pitch will be replayed in real 97 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: time via animation on the stadium video board and TV broadcast. 98 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: The outcome of said challenge will then be shown publicly 99 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: through that replay. If a team wins a challenge, it 100 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: can keep challenging. As soon as the team loses two challenges, 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: it will not have the ability to challenge a pitch 102 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: for the rest of that game. Here's for me why 103 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 3: it's doomed for disaster at some point. I know everybody says, well, 104 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 3: work well in the minors. Nobody pays attention no offense, 105 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 3: but nobody pays attention to minor league outcomes other than 106 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: the people who are there. 107 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: Nobody cares. There's nobody. 108 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: Nobody's debating bald and strike controversies in any minor league game. 109 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: In a major league sense, it just doesn't happen. Now 110 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: when there's going to be more at stake. Believe me, 111 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: there's going to be more focus on it, and there 112 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 3: is no question in my mind that the replay terrorists 113 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: next challenge will be two's not enough, chwo's not enough? 114 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: What if? What if. 115 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: There are twenty seven bad calls that are made balls 116 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: and strike calls. You can't limit it to that. So 117 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: the bit's going to be hammering managers or teams. I 118 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: guess in this case it would be teams that are 119 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: not judicious enough with their challenges that they don't save 120 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: their challenges until it matters. But as soon as they 121 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: do that, the replay terrorists who don't make those sorts 122 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: of distinctions will go. 123 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: I don't care if it was third inning and nobody 124 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: on base. 125 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: That's a terrible call that's got to be reversed. 126 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: So eventually that's going to be the new controversy. 127 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: We're going to get to a big game, relatively speaking, 128 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: regular season, and let's just say, for the sake of argument, 129 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: the New York Yankees are out of challenges. It's the 130 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: ninth inning, and this one might have it was a 131 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: called to strike, should have been ball four, should have 132 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: been the bases loaded, And believe me, you're going to 133 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: hear from the replay to saying this is why two 134 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: is not enough. It's not fair to put players in 135 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: the position where they have to make those kinds of calculations. 136 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: So the new plea will be endless number. 137 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: However, many number of challenges you want, you should get, 138 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: mark my words, that's coming, no matter what anybody says. 139 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: Eventually that's how we'll go. Here's the other thing that 140 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: struck me from this ESPN story twenty twenty six spring 141 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: training games. The new system was used, fifty three percent 142 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: of challenges were successful. Only forty five percent of batter 143 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: initiated challenges worked, compared with sixty percent for the defense. Overall, 144 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: an average of four point three to two challenges per game, 145 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 3: two point twenty eight of which were successful. 146 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: What does that tell you? Well, that tell you. It 147 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: tells you. 148 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: The notion that there's an endless array of egregiously horrible 149 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 3: calls made over and over and over again, and it's 150 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: just a matter of righting that wrong is nonsense. If 151 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: only half of them ended up getting reversed, it's not 152 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: as egregious as as has been suggested. You know what's 153 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: egregious is the viral video that shows the same seven 154 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 3: horrible calls day after day, month after month, year after year. 155 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: And so people come to the conclusion, well, I got 156 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 3: many bad calls there, and say, well, actually, that's the 157 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: same seven we've been showing for the last six months 158 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: about one umpire who may well be not up to 159 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: the challenge. So I'm bored with all of it. Go 160 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 3: ahead and do it, knock yourselves out. But it's never 161 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: gonna be enough. It's never gonna be enough. And I'll 162 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 3: say again, just because it's worked as well as it 163 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: had in the minors, trust me, there's more at stake 164 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: in these games. There's nothing it's taken in minor league 165 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: baseball games, isn't It's all about getting people ready. They 166 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: barely keep the standings in minor league baseball, But now 167 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: that it will involve real teams that seem to have 168 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: something at stake and fans who are going to be 169 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: on those who are in the seats at those games 170 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: paying attention, it's going to be it's it's gonna end 171 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: it's it's just we're going to end up having an 172 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: endless amount of hand ringing and hyperventilation over this does 173 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: not go far enough, and we should be able to 174 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: challenge as many as we want. I also think in 175 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: an odd sort of way, because it's my never ending 176 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: effort to actually be sensitive to the replay terrorists like you. 177 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: I think what you guys don't understand is what it's 178 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: going to do to your mental health watching a game, 179 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: because now that you know this rule is in place. 180 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: You're not going to be able to lose. 181 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: You're not going to be able to stop yourself from 182 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: losing your mind, whatever inning, whatever situation, going another bad call, 183 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 3: and you're gonna be bugged by the fact that there 184 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: was no appeal on that call, even if there can't 185 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: be an appell at every one of the calls, because 186 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: they're gonna run out of challenges, but it's gonna it's 187 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 3: gonna further erode your ability to just sit back and 188 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: watch a damn baseball game. You're not gonna be able 189 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: to do it because you're gonna be stressed over That 190 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: looks bad to me. I would consider challenging on there. 191 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: You're never gonna enjoy a game again. 192 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna get to the point which this 193 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: robo amps at. 194 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 3: Some point, Well, at some point, maybe that's better way 195 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: to go, to be honest with you, although I've said 196 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: even there, you know, and I know there will be 197 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: many people say the robo OMPs wrong. They don't have 198 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: the lasers lined up right. Something's crazy about that too. 199 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: But you probably if you're gonna go this far, you 200 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: either you don't do it at all, which is still 201 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: my preference, or you go all the way with it, 202 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: which is what ultimately is gonna be. That's gonna be 203 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: the clamor again, because the challenges are not unlimited in 204 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: terms of number per game. 205 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: I wonder if you took a stress test of someone 206 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: stressed about not reviewing a call like you're alluding to, 207 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: or the stress of watching Angel Hernandez call a baseball game. 208 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: Which one would be more stressfulness? I think the latter 209 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: it would be a lot more so. 210 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 3: You got the one guy who proves nothing other than 211 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 3: he's probably pretty incompetent. 212 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: That's it. But they wouldn't getrun a story like sound. 213 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: Like Tim Cheetah. Let me get We'll get to some 214 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: texts after a break. We've got Ben Gesling bottom of 215 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,239 Speaker 3: the hour. If you have what are some leftover football 216 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: vikings questions that you might have for Ben? And I 217 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: actually prefer that they have nothing to do with the 218 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: quarterback situation. I'll listen if there's something original, But what 219 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: other things do you have? What are the things are 220 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: you wondering about regarding this vikings club six four six 221 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: eighty six. That is the world famous brat Shawn Bryant 222 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 3: kfan text line back in just a minute. 223 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: Here in the fan listen. 224 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: Speaking ninety six to seven KFA plus. It's bringing to 225 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: you all the coverage of the men's college basketball tournament. 226 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: Every game, every. 227 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: Moment is driven by day Smith Motors. You can tune 228 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: in for free on the iHeart Radio app or ninety 229 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: six to seven KFN plus. 230 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: Well, here's your Tiger Woods update. 231 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: He has been arrested, according to authorities, for driving under 232 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: the influence after that car crash earlier this afternoon, I 233 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: was a two car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, not 234 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: far I don't believe, from one of Tiger's residences. In 235 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 3: addition to his DEUI charge, Woods is also facing charges 236 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: for property damage and refusal to submit to lawful test. 237 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: Woods was not under the influence of alcohol. 238 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: His breathalyzer test registered a zero point zero, police said, 239 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: but deputies determined Woods was impaired. He did not submit 240 00:13:51,960 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: to a urine test. And that's the most import and 241 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 3: stuff At this point. I'm sure there'll be the story 242 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: will be fleshed out more from there. Not good news 243 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 3: at all, And this, I guess does now fall under 244 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: the classification of Oh, by the way, we should say. 245 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: We don't believe either. 246 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: Of the drivers of either vehicle, or anybody involved in 247 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: the in the accident, either vehicle associated with either vehicle, 248 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: or any kind of serious condition, any kind of major injuries, 249 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: although we're still waiting for confirmation on that from law 250 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: enforcement authorities. This does fall, I think under the classification 251 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: of why not have a driver like all the time, 252 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: all the time? And again that's easier said than done 253 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: for people who are not of his means. His means 254 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: presumably would indicate that he could pay any amount of 255 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: money he wanted to anybody to be the guy now 256 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: maybe or gal now. Maybe he does that most of 257 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: the time, and this was a specific circumstance. I have 258 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: no idea, but that's always the mystery, uh as when 259 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: these stories develop for somebody who has had some of 260 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: the issues that Tiger has had in the past, and 261 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: and and clearly likes to drive way too fast and 262 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: occasionally recklessly as well. So if we get any new 263 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: information on it, we will UH. We'll also pass that along. 264 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: As I mentioned Ben Gesling coming up at the bottom 265 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: of the hour. Lots of good questions are coming in 266 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: there regarding the UH, the new UH, the new appeal 267 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: system when it comes to balls and strikes. Dan I 268 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: used to agree with you, writes Paul, But there is 269 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: an unlimited number of challenges just as long as you 270 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: don't get too wrong. 271 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: That's technically true. 272 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: But again, given the stats that we laid out about 273 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: spring training, is it realistic to expect that you're going 274 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: to bat a thousand in that regard most times? 275 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: So that you can have the unlimited number. And I'll 276 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: say again the notion. 277 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: Of let's just say you get really good, your players, 278 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: and your pitchers and your catchers get really good at 279 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 3: figuring this thing out when they should appeal. Do you 280 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: really want like thirty pitches a game appealed? Do you 281 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: really I know it's fast. I know it's not like 282 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: a replay in the NFL that goes on forever. 283 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: But that's a prospect, you like, just to get it 284 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: right when we all know. 285 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: In many cases, when it's off the plate or on 286 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: the plate, most of the time it's a fraction, it's 287 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: a you know, it's a very very modest in or 288 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: out of the strike zone. 289 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: What are we doing? I just it's it's just as. 290 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 3: Never gonna doesn't appeal to me, never going to appeal 291 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: to me. And I fully grant that that means some 292 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 3: it's more likely than that some calls are going to 293 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: be incorrect. But I'm a bigger picture guy than that. 294 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 3: I'm a bigger picture guy about what it does to 295 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 3: the game itself as a game to appreciate and to 296 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: frankly enjoy. That's still where I am at this point. 297 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: Mans a lot of good questions. 298 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: I appreciate the text coming in, so we're gonna try 299 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: to run through a lot of them with Ben Gesling. 300 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: And only one of them so far has been a 301 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 3: quarterback related question, and it's not a bad one that 302 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: I might squeeze in. But the folks have come through 303 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 3: with lots of others, so we will save those. I 304 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: had one other item that I wanted to I gave 305 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: you the Wolves injury report. I feel like there was. 306 00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 2: One other. Oh well, yeah, I won't take that long 307 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: to get to. 308 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: So we talked about I gave the Bumper Bumper seal 309 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: approval to Bill Maher yesterday because he's gonna win them. 310 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 3: He's now been award of the Mark Twain Award, despite 311 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: the fact that the White House had said he's not 312 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: going to get the award. 313 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: Well, apparently he is now going to get the award. 314 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 3: And I got a very long time listener who is 315 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: just very disappointed in me and said that it was 316 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: one of the few times he was so frustrated by me. 317 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: He said he was embarrassed for me because of how 318 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 3: I characterized Mar's approach to the politics of the day. 319 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: He thinks Mar is basically a maga apologist light and 320 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 3: I obviously respect any listener who's listened to the show 321 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: for a long time. I hope he's by now turned 322 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: the thing back on. All I can do and all 323 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: I can, you know, I think be responsible for is 324 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: my own views. And I would say respectfully to that 325 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: individual that if you listen to what Mar says and 326 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 3: read what Mar writes, not just the stuff that you're 327 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 3: annoyed by, the stuff where he is going after our 328 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: challenging lefties, you cannot possibly hold the conclusion that you hold. 329 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: And if you do, it is my opinion, and this 330 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: is part of what we talked about yesterday that it's 331 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 3: proof not that Bill Maher has changed for what he's 332 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: always been, which is a liberal, but that you've not 333 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 3: accepted the fact that the change has taken place in 334 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: the party that you adore, which has gone from having 335 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 3: a more liberal, classically liberal tradition to what's called a 336 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: more progressive tradition and approach. 337 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: I just scratch my head and say, I. 338 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: Don't know what you're listening to on Mar, what you're 339 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: paying attention to as well. 340 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: And you know, one last. 341 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 3: Thing about this, I'm not I don't come at it 342 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: from the Okay, rip the writy today, I gotta rip 343 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 3: a lefty tomorrow. Rip the lefty today, I gotta rip 344 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: a righty tomorrow. It's not that you check the boxes equally, 345 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 3: or you check you make sure you're constantly checking the boxes. 346 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 3: It's to me, you check whatever box fits the story 347 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 3: that's been put in front of you. That is, to me, 348 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 3: the most honest approach and the most direct approach, which 349 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: I think is what he does. And that still doesn't 350 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: mean I agree with everything he concludes, and that you 351 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 3: have to agree with everything he concludes. But to come away, 352 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: he he thought I was making him sound like too 353 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 3: much of a centrist, and at first I thought, what 354 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: he means he's actually more liberal than that. No, he 355 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: thinks he's more concerned that's centrist. And all I can 356 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 3: say again is I don't know how much you're actually 357 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 3: paying attention to him, or if it's you're remembering only 358 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 3: the times where in your mind he's carrying the water 359 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: of the right side of the aisle, not because that's 360 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: what he intends to do, but just because his opinion 361 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 3: on a given issue is favored or applauded by that 362 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 3: side of the aisle. In that situation. I don't know 363 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 3: how you watch him once a week or you know, 364 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: a few minutes of each time during each of his programs, 365 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: and that's your conclusion. 366 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: I couldn't disagree more. I was bewildered by it. 367 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: That leaves me shaking my head, and it tells me 368 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: that again, the change is more in what the party 369 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 3: represents than whether mar has gone from being this, you know, 370 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 3: lunatic fringe lefty to somehow a guy who is constantly 371 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 3: carrying the water of the President of the United States. 372 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 3: Let's pause here and prepare for Ben Guestling some toy 373 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 3: department stuff, any more updates on the Tiger Wood story. 374 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: We'll get to that during the Ben segment, or certainly 375 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 3: during the Top five at five, and then Lavelle is 376 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: scheduled four five point thirty to night. 377 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 2: By the way, inspired by one. 378 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 3: Of the questions that's come in for Ben Gestling that's 379 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: not related to football. If you have track and field questions, 380 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: that's okay too. One of them has already come in. 381 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: Maybe we'll include that, if not now. In late March, 382 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 3: when Ben Gesling joined us via the Connectico Water Systems, Holland, 383 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 3: will you pot him up please. I forgot to bring 384 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 3: my phone bank close enough with my headset. 385 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: Mister Gessling, can you hear us? 386 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 4: Okay? Hi? Can a fine? 387 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the to the program. 388 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 3: I asked for non quarterback questions from the audience, and 389 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: they have not disappointed. 390 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: There's one that might be worthy. 391 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 3: Of advancing the quarterback discussion, but a bunch elsewhere. Here's 392 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 3: the first track and field question that already came in 393 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: without my even asking for one. Brad wants to know 394 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: whether you believe that the four hundred meters is the 395 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 3: hardest race to run in high school track. 396 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 5: It would be on a very short list. I would 397 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 5: either say the four hundred meters or probably the eight 398 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 5: hundred meters for some of the same reasons. They take 399 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 5: the hardest things about sprinting and distance running and kind 400 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 5: of combine them. The four hundred of the sprint the 401 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 5: eight hundred meters to the distance race technically, but there's 402 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 5: a lot of elements of the four hundred that require 403 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: you to have endurance, and there's a lot of elements 404 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: of the eight hundred that required you have speed. So 405 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 5: I would say those two or the long hurdles. It's 406 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 5: three hundred meters in high school goes up the four 407 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 5: hundred meters in college. That is a remarkably difficult to 408 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: that too. All of those are kind of in the 409 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 5: middle of the meat in high school, they're back to 410 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 5: back to back. So yeah, those are are all very 411 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 5: very challenging, and they're fun to coach. That there's some 412 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 5: of my favorites to coach, but they're not for the 413 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 5: faint of heart, that's for sure. 414 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 3: All right, this is for you, and this is Vikings related. 415 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: This is Alan out of afton See. Vikings seem to 416 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: acknowledge that O line play is still a problem. We 417 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 3: fired the line coach. Do we know what is different 418 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 3: about the new coach's approach that might affect line play 419 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 3: or offensive strategy or is it merely window dressing and 420 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 3: will simply come down to the fact that we don't 421 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 3: draft well or sign free agents that add O line value. 422 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 5: I mean, I think we're going to find out more 423 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 5: of that as we get a chance to talk to 424 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: a few more of these coaches. I think Keith Carter 425 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 5: coming in as the O line coach was I mean 426 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 5: his past in Tennessee and then it's time with the Jets. 427 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 5: You had a lot of players I think that talked 428 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 5: about him being kind of tough to play for. That 429 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 5: was a reputation he came in with the Minnesota that 430 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 5: I know he had to do some work to kind 431 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 5: of reframe and have them see, yeah, we trust you 432 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 5: to take over this room. I think they were impressed 433 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 5: with a lot of the work he did last year 434 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 5: in that regard, and that's why he got the shot 435 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 5: to have the job. I think there's a vision for 436 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 5: what that group can be. I would imagine, you know, 437 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 5: trying to be a little more, a little more physical, 438 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 5: a little more exert your will. I think there was 439 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 5: a move in that direction last year, but there's probably 440 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 5: another step to go to get there. But I think 441 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 5: some of it will come from him. I keep bringing 442 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 5: up Frank Smith, but I really do think that some 443 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: of the work that he's going to do with the 444 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 5: shape of this offense will play out in these areas 445 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 5: because I know he's got an offensive line background. Run 446 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 5: game design is a big area that they liked about 447 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 5: him and something he has a lot of experience with 448 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: as well. So I think the way they play in 449 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 5: the run game especially is going to be one of 450 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 5: the things to watch is how these guys work together 451 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 5: and how all of this comes to fruition, and some 452 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 5: of that will get technical in terms of blocking schemes 453 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 5: and run fits and you know who's passing off blocks, 454 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 5: who's covered, who's uncovered, and we can get in all 455 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 5: the wonky football stuff that probably even surpasses and certainly 456 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 5: surpasses my level of acumen at times. But I think 457 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: those things will play out and it will be interesting 458 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 5: to see how it goes. But I do expect there's 459 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 5: going to be a difference in the way they go 460 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 5: about things, and I'm curious to hear more of that 461 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 5: because I know that's something that they have realized needs 462 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 5: to I mean, they made the investments with the players 463 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 5: last year and then you still had a lot of 464 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 5: issues with that. But I think also when people were 465 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 5: healthy at times, they just need better performance there. So 466 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 5: I think you'll see a little bit of an attitude 467 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 5: ship and then some of the tech niques and the 468 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 5: specifics of it will we'll play out over time. 469 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 4: But that experience that Frank Smith brings. 470 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 5: From Miami, coupled with some of the experience Keith Carter 471 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 5: has with this group and some of the way he 472 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 5: goes about things. I think we'll leave a different impression 473 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 5: on the group overall. In twenty twenty six. 474 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 3: Nine five to two guy wants to know whether there 475 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: might be any veteran options in play at wide receiver. 476 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, yeah, I think there will be some, 477 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 5: And people have talked a little bit about I mean, 478 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 5: DeAndre Hopkins, I think has put things on social media 479 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 5: about wanting to play with Kyler Murray or being interested 480 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 5: in that again, and it's hard to rule that out. 481 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 5: I mean, he would have to come cheap, right, and 482 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 5: the role would have to be kind of well defined. 483 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,239 Speaker 5: But that's a guy that in the red zone has 484 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 5: been really good. He's awfully good at bodying up a corner, 485 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 5: taking the ball away and being able to protect it, 486 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,239 Speaker 5: and that's something they could use. I think having that 487 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 5: big red zone target, I mean some of that's c J. Hockinson. 488 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson can be that and we've seen him do 489 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 5: that at times. 490 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 4: But having more of those is never a. 491 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 5: Bad thing, especially if it's somebody that's got to report 492 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 5: with Kyler Murray. So I would look at him as 493 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 5: a possibility. I think they'll have. You know, there'll be 494 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 5: names that come across the the wire here, you know, 495 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 5: possibly other guys getting cut, and I think they will 496 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 5: look at adding depth at that position because they liked 497 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 5: Jalen Naylor, they liked what he was becoming. He's obviously 498 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 5: gone at this point, gets the free agency deal, and 499 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: they have to figure out what life looks like without 500 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 5: him because it's he's gone obviously out of deelm that 501 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 5: didn't really become as integral a part of the offense 502 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 5: as they hoped. I think ty Felton is somebody they 503 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 5: have high hopes for to play a little more in 504 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 5: year two. But another veteran in that group I don't 505 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 5: think would be a bad addition. 506 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 4: So if they. 507 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 5: Find a player, you know, whether it's DeAndre Howkins or 508 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 5: somebody else, that is a good fit and comes in 509 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 5: relatively cheaply, yeah, I think that's certainly an area where 510 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 5: they could look to add. 511 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: Here's your bonus quarterback question, and it might be the 512 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: only one today because we're trying to keep it fresh, 513 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: new and exciting, but I I didn't I don't mind 514 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 3: putting this one in the mix. Uh six one two 515 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: guy wants to know whether there is a schism in 516 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 3: the locker room as far as at the quarterback position. 517 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: Deep down, do we truly know what JJ is feeling 518 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: internally with the signing of Winston Murray. We know what 519 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 3: has been said publicly and what will be said publicly, 520 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 3: But do we think, you know, there's behind the scenes, 521 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: whether it's McCarthy or his agent, a little bit more angst, 522 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 3: a little bit more of fear and loathing that they're 523 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: not likely to make public. But that might well be 524 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 3: part of the backstory that the Vikings have to deal with. 525 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure there are questions in. 526 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 5: His camp, and I'm sure he has people in his 527 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 5: ears saying, well, what's this going to mean? 528 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 4: Why are they why don't they. 529 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 5: Stand by you? I mean, you know, I think has 530 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 5: people in their orbit that are probably going to say 531 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 5: some of those things that filters into his thinking. I 532 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 5: think we don't quite know that just because we haven't 533 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 5: heard him talk, and I think his interpretation of things 534 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 5: is probably more important than what may come from people 535 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 5: in his camp, especially if they're people that kind of 536 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 5: have their own agenda, so to speak. I mean, I 537 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 5: don't know that that is the case with him. I 538 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 5: just think I've seen this before with players where you'll 539 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 5: have somebody saying, hey, man, they really did you dirty. 540 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 5: You should be here, and they're kind of trying to 541 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 5: ingratiate themselves to the players, so you will see some 542 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 5: of those things. And I've just I've done it long 543 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 5: enough to see where that comes up, and you know 544 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 5: that stuff is not unprecedented, I think with him, but 545 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 5: I know he's had a decent offseason to work in 546 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 5: southern California. I believe he's back in Minnesota at this 547 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 5: point kind of getting ready for the offseason and the 548 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 5: thing they are very much hoping for, and Kevin O'Connell 549 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: to this point is said that everything they're hoping for 550 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 5: is what they're getting from JJ McCarthy. In terms of 551 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 5: how he'd responded this, We'll see if that plays out, 552 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 5: but I think the hope is that he will embrace 553 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 5: this as a challenge and say I'm going to use 554 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 5: this as an opportunity to show you that I have 555 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 5: made the improvements that you want to see and I'm 556 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 5: still the guy. And I think the way he talked 557 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 5: about it at the end of the season when he said, 558 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 5: I don't look at it as I own this spot. 559 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 5: I'm making deposits on it in the hopes that I 560 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 5: own it long term, but I understand that I don't. 561 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: At this point. 562 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 5: It's still the least So I think a lot of 563 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 5: the comments he made would indicate that he understands the 564 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 5: bigger picture and understands all this is going to go. 565 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 5: But how he responds to all that when we actually 566 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 5: get into the competition and training camp, and a lot 567 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 5: of those questions are going to be very focused on 568 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 5: the quarterback horse race, because there's nothing those of us 569 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 5: in this business love more than that, even if sometimes 570 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 5: that probably takes on the life of its own, but 571 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 5: those questions are going to be there, and how he 572 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 5: handled all of that in training camp is I think, 573 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 5: going to have a lot to do with where this 574 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 5: thing goes. 575 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 3: Ben Gesling covers the vikings in the NFL, of course 576 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 3: for the Star Tribute and joins us a weekly now 577 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 3: pretty much year round. We are aware by the way 578 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: of the Tiger Woods the update on that story, the 579 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: rollover crash that he was involved in and apparently not 580 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 3: seriously injured in, but he has been arrested on driving 581 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: under the influenced charges, and we did discuss that earlier, 582 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 3: and we'll get back to any developments in that story 583 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: for all of the obvious reasons. Here's another track and 584 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 3: field question coming in for you. How do you decide 585 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 3: This is from coach Nick from Augie. How do you 586 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: decide the runner order in your four by eight hundred 587 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 3: relay teams? 588 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: This is getting really in track and field right. 589 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 4: This question is a plant. 590 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 5: This is Nick Larson, the head cross country and assistant 591 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 5: coach from Augsburg, my boss at Augsburg when I work 592 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 5: in there in the fall and the winter, I've been 593 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 5: coaching at Augsburg and then cross country indoor tracking back 594 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 5: to Baple Valley for the springs. You know, this is 595 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 5: totally a plan from him, but I appreciate it. A 596 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 5: lot of that. 597 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 4: Is I mean, you typically you put. 598 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 5: Your fastest person is the anchor generally, but I've had 599 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 5: a lot of conversations about this with Sarah Sutton, my 600 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 5: co coach at Apple Valley, who has a lot of 601 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 5: thoughts on this. She's a Greade eight hunter runner and 602 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 5: with a great an runner here. But the decision has 603 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 5: lots to do with the type of runner each person is. 604 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 5: And one of the things you'll hear her talk about 605 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 5: a lot is who's batt and cleanup, and in that role, 606 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 5: clean up is number three because generally it's got to 607 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 5: be somebody that can chase, somebody that wants to go compete, 608 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 5: somebody that wants to get us back in a race 609 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 5: and get the baton to the anchor in the good spot. 610 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 5: So a lot of those decisions, when she and I 611 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 5: talk about it, it's kind of what's the competitiveness of 612 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 5: the runner. It's not just like who's the fastest person, 613 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 5: Let's put them last and then let's put the other 614 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 5: fastest person first. And you know, you'll generally try to 615 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 5: do some of those things, but how does this person 616 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 5: set us up for the next person to get the baton? 617 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 5: And what is the impact going to be of that 618 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 5: person on the group? So you know, it's it's kind 619 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 5: of a fun thing to try to debate and figure 620 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 5: out because sometimes those orders and the way you set 621 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 5: those things up matters a lot for how a team does. So, yeah, 622 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 5: a lot of those questions come up with Well. 623 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 3: What fascinates me about this is you don't even have 624 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 3: to necessarily care about track and field, I think to 625 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 3: still be interested in the mental side of this thing. 626 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 3: As you say, when you're putting a team together about 627 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 3: all right, where do I factor in how this particular 628 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 3: move is going to affect You may come to the conclusion, well, 629 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 3: this individual is a little stronger mentally and might be 630 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 3: able to deal with the fact that he is not 631 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 3: in the position he wants to be in on this team, 632 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: but can handle it more likely to handle it, and 633 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 3: I might have to go with somebody else who might 634 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 3: be less likely to handle it as well. That's stuff 635 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 3: those are I don't think those are concessions. I think that's, 636 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 3: if anything, just you know, dealing with the fact that 637 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 3: these these these participants are not robots. 638 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. I mean that's any sport is going to 639 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 5: be like that. It's how do people tick? What does 640 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 5: a certain situation bring out of a certain person. I mean, 641 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 5: you're you're constantly trying to think through those things of 642 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 5: if I put you here, if you're in the first 643 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 5: leg and you've got all these people around you, and like, 644 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 5: we have an indoor meet tomorrow at the U of M, 645 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 5: and it's going to be chaos where you have a 646 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 5: lot of people around you. Are you somebody that operates 647 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 5: well in that setting? Are you somebody that's going to 648 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 5: react and be a little bit frightened by that kind 649 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 5: of a thing. So you're you're sitting there and I 650 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 5: think any sport, whether it's you know, can this guy 651 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 5: play left tackle or swing back to right side or 652 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 5: is he rattled by that? You know, if I put 653 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 5: this player on the court in a end of game situation, 654 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 5: does he want the ball in his hands and he 655 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 5: play off the ball? You know, if I put a player. 656 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 2: On a power play. 657 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 5: I mean, all of these things are It's part of 658 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 5: coaching any sport. I think where it's how do the 659 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 5: people that I have to work with, how do they tick? 660 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 5: How do I get the best out of them? And 661 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 5: a lot of that is knowing your athletes as much 662 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 5: as it is just knowing the sport. So yeah, and 663 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 5: that stuff's always really fascinating to me about coaching, and 664 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 5: I think in my years coaching it's helped me appreciate 665 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 5: the art of coaching that the people like cover go 666 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 5: through because there's nothing really that different about it. It's 667 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 5: just a matter of how do people work, and how 668 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 5: do I get inside their heads and how do I 669 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 5: kind of use who they are and what they do 670 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 5: well and some of the things that they're stilling to 671 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 5: grow with and how do we use all of those 672 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 5: things to get the best out of them that we can. 673 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 3: When we are talking about historic infamous sports gaffs, which 674 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 3: is worse. 675 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 2: Twelve men in the huddle or four. 676 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 3: Basketball players on the court after the ball has already 677 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 3: been inbounded. 678 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 5: Oh boy, I mean the four on the court accounting 679 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 5: is not very difficult to get to five. Yeah, I 680 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 5: would think that's probably a little bit worse. But I 681 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 5: think it's more unusual for sure, right, Yeah, probably, I 682 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 5: mean I would think that's not gonna be something you 683 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 5: see as much. I mean, twelve is when you're settling 684 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 5: in and out quickly, you know, you see those things 685 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 5: happen a few times a year, obviously, and in Viking's 686 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 5: lore it happened at a very very bad time in 687 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 5: January twenty ten. But yeah, I think not getting to 688 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 5: five on the court, it's probably a little stunning, more 689 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 5: rare because the bar to clear to get that right 690 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 5: is not quite as high. 691 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 2: What's interesting is, we were talking about this earlier. 692 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 3: No one seems to know clearly what the referees obligation 693 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 3: is in a situation like this. I tend to think 694 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 3: they have no obligation in that their obligation would be 695 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 3: if there's too many on the court, because that's illegal, 696 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 3: but it is not illegal to play with fewer than five. 697 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 2: Some teams have had to do it. 698 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 3: We talked about the infamous golfher game with Richard Patino 699 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 3: where because of a fight, the entire Alabama bench got 700 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 3: eliminated from competition and Bama had three players on the 701 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 3: court against the Golphers five and outscored them by eleven 702 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 3: for a brief stretch, even though Minnesota ended up holding 703 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 3: on to the game. 704 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 2: So I don't know there's any obligation there, But. 705 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 3: From the hockey community, I'm hearing that in hockey it 706 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 3: is the referees, the officials responsibility to see that the 707 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 3: team has the right number, not too few, not too many, 708 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 3: which is interesting. So I don't know if we've had 709 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 3: any final resolution on what even Fred Hoiberg was asking 710 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 3: after the game after he did what he kind of 711 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 3: had to do, take full responsibility for an astounding gaff 712 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 3: under the circumstances, but hopefully we get some kind of 713 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 3: a ruling on it. I tend to think you're right, 714 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: because twelve men, that was a big one for the vikings. 715 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 2: But it does happen and we see that. 716 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 3: I don't know another occasion where a team is stuck 717 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 3: with only four players after the ball's inbounded and it 718 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 3: results in the kind of play that pretty much in 719 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 3: this case, ended Nebraska's chances to come back and win. 720 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 721 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna rooe for a long time. I mean, 722 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 5: it's there's really nothing you do about it until the 723 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 5: whistle blows, So somebody's got to check them in the 724 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 5: game at the score table. So yeah, I mean that's 725 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 5: one that I'm sure Fred Hoiberg, who's had a lot 726 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 5: of success as the coach, sure it's going to have 727 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 5: a hard time living down for a long time. 728 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 3: All right, So give me help me on the calendar. 729 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 3: How close are we to what are the. 730 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 2: Next key dates for the Purple or for the NFL? 731 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, so at least in the NFL, the owners meetings 732 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 5: are next week, So I have the unenviable task but 733 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 5: you know, somebody's got to do it of going out 734 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 5: to the Arizona Biltmore for next week's meetings and devastating 735 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 5: aush and tony arrangements that they have there. Kevin O'Connell 736 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 5: will talk there we'll hear from Roberzsenski, We'll hear from 737 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 5: Mark Wills, I think for the first time since the 738 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 5: announcement of Quasiotolpho Mens's firings. 739 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 4: So. 740 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 5: Checking in with him and what they're thinking. And at 741 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 5: this point in the gm charch, I'm interested to hear 742 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 5: kind of what the winds are, which way they're blowing 743 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 5: on that front, because you certainly hear a lot of 744 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 5: talk from people in that building about the faith they 745 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 5: have in Robersinsky, and I wonder if it will just 746 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 5: end up being people saying, why don't. 747 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 4: We just go with this? 748 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 5: And you know they'll do other interviews, I'm sure, but 749 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 5: why don't we just have rober Zinsky if he wants 750 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 5: the job, ascend to that role. So I'll be curious 751 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 5: to hear what the thought process is from all of 752 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 5: the principles there. And then Kevin O'Connell being in the 753 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 5: Competition committee. Now is the sense I get from a 754 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 5: couple of times I've chatted with him about it is 755 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 5: it's not easy work. 756 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 4: It's a lot of time on long meetings. 757 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 5: To debate rule changes, and all of those things come 758 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 5: to fruish and we get the new rules at the 759 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 5: owners meetings, so that will come next week. And then 760 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 5: the other big one I suppose for the Vikings is, 761 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 5: or maybe at least the market is the decision, which 762 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 5: will come in a few weeks about the twenty twenty 763 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 5: eight NFL Draft. They submitted a bid for that probably 764 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 5: in the last few months. They went public with that 765 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 5: this week, hoping to land a future NFL draft in 766 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 5: the Twin Cities with US Bank station. It's kind of 767 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 5: the center point of that. So we'll get some more 768 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 5: information on that in the next few weeks, but I'm 769 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 5: sure there'll be some discussion of that bid at the 770 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 5: owner's meetings in Phoenix this week as well. 771 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 3: And what I'd like you to find out is, I 772 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 3: assume it's like you're competing against I think Buffalo is 773 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 3: the other market that is competing hard for that year. 774 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 2: I want to know what we have already. 775 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 3: Said we're willing to concede, because I'm hoping it's not 776 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 3: what Pittsburgh conceded allegedly because of traffic issues, they're shutting 777 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 3: down the public schools for three days. 778 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'd like to think that we're not. 779 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 3: We value education way too much to do it damn 780 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 3: the traffic. 781 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 2: Find a way to get the kids. 782 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 3: There were not shutting down our schools for a draft, 783 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 3: but I fear that that would be part of what 784 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 3: we would be willing to concede if indeed that gives 785 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 3: us an advantage over Buffalo, for example. 786 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 5: Very possible. I mean green Bay did this last year too, 787 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 5: but they ended up shutting everything down. I could see 788 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 5: the traffic starles being a little more complicating in Green 789 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 5: Bay than they might be in Minneapolis Saint Paul. But yeah, 790 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 5: if this becomes kind of a tradition that everybody gets 791 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 5: time off with school. My daughter was born the day 792 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 5: of the twenty twelve draft, watching that draft in the 793 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 5: recovery room, so her, I've had this joke with Harrison 794 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 5: spent three years that I can tell you exactly what 795 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 5: day you were drafted, man, given the day I became 796 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 5: a dad, So her sweet sixteen would be during that draft. 797 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 5: The other day, Lydia, you might get a school break 798 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 5: if we go this way.
