And I think that still it comes 49 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 6: down in society. Many times people are forced to believe 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 6: what they read, and many times what you read might 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 6: or may not be true. 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 4: So that's correct amount of time. 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: You know, that was a joke to joke to joke. 54 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: Yeah you like that, don't look that. 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: He's the clown from Brown.

That's Mike Tice, that's his logic. I don't 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: think Sean McVeigh is going to walk around the locker 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: room demanding Super Bowl tickets from his players and then 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: go try to scalp them. 65 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 4: I don't think that's going to happen anytimes.

But she 106 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: found in a box in the walk in closet. There 107 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: was a grocery bag in the box, and in it 108 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: was items of mind from like second grade notebooks. And 109 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: when you were in school, did they teach you cursive writing? 110 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: Yes? 111 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: Do they teach that now? 112 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: And is that done other than signing your autograph?

That's how the world has changed. 116 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: But you know, back when I would you know, we 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: had typewriters. But and I told you I got a 118 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: d in typing, right, Well, the only reason I got 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: a D is because I did turn in a type 120 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: written piece of paper to the teacher. I think that 121 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: was the start of my hate Ashbury days. 122 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 4: And I was. 123 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: Not interested in any schoolwork at all. I probably only 124 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: person ever got a D in typing. Of course you've 125 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: seen me hunting peck, so you can probably understand why 126 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: I got a D. I'm surprised you got a D. 127 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: I surprise got a D. So you have to learn 128 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: how to cursive writeing. And that's what a lot of 129 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 3: what's in there.

And I my cursive writing wasn't 136 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: too terrible. My spelling wasn't always proper, nor was the grammar. 137 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: But you know how a couple of mondays ago, I 138 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: read the uh Brian Lambert story about me leaving the 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: Chadden Burrero show and from the same Paul Pipon and 140 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: Brian Lambert used to write for the same Paul Pioneer Press. 141 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: He was the media writer, and so I read that 142 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: and that was what Barrero was saying. You know, we 143 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: don't be graduate coally for leaving.

I think is 282 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: the first quarterback to to to to lead a team 283 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: to fuck fourteen and three records, two different teams to 284 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 3: fourteen and three records, and he's headed to the Big Game. 285 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: He he was absolutely brilliant. 286 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 4: I think everybody really by. 287 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 7: The way they act like that's some sort of accomplishment 288 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 7: for Sam.

It does speak volumes whether whatever side you're on, 345 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: and most of the feedback I get most of it. 346 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 3: It seems like I would say, seventy five to twenty 347 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: five still firmly digs its heels in on we had 348 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: to let Sam Darnold go. Boy, after what you saw 349 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: against Detroit and the Rams. We had to let him 350 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: go because we had to see what we had in McCarthy. 351 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: And I mean, I guess you can make that argument. 352 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 3: I think it's a weak argument. I think, as I 353 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 3: said at the time when I said they should have 354 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 3: signed Sam, and this is in hindsight, I set it 355 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: back when they let him go and he signed with Seattle. 356 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: You spend you search, you leave no sandtrap on rake, 357 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: you need no ballmark unrepaired, and no dibit on replacing 358 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: your relentless pursuit for a franchise quarterback. And he's in 359 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: your building, in your facility. He just got you to 360 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: fourteen and three. Not all him, right, you know, but 361 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: so well, how do you let him walk? 362 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 4: Then? 363 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: I still don't understand that other than you must have 364 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: really been turned off by that Lions game, in that 365 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 3: Rams game. And again I will say, I look back 366 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: at the Rams stats, I think he gets too much 367 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: heat for that game. Nine sacks. They weren't all just 368 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: him holding onto the ball they were getting And I'll 369 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 3: bring it up again. The head coach twenty minutes after 370 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: the game said, we got to rebuild the interior of 371 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 3: the offensive line. He was admitting he was looking for 372 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: fall guys and he found him. 373 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: He find his interior of his offensive line. 374 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: And they got rid of Bradbury and a couple of 375 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: other guys, and they brought in the rookie, the Jackson kid, right, 376 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: wasn't he on one side? 377 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 4: Then they brought in a new center and a new 378 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 4: right guard. That's what they did. 379 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 3: They thought that it was the interior of the line, 380 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: and maybe it was, But the interior of the line 381 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: that they signed for the season wasn't really that much better, 382 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't think. 383 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 7: But well, then the exterior was worse because yeah, you're 384 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 7: left tackle than playing a good chunk. 385 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: Of the games. 386 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and and O'Neill was hurt, right, But O'Neill, you 387 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: know what I do like about him? 388 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 4: He he he didn't miss a lot of action. 389 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: He missed some, but he when you'd watch him out, 390 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: he's got a brace on both knees. 391 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: If I'm and that's what these offensive players do? We 392 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: talk about this? What where the Lions are all this 393 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 4: trouble week? I read that quote from uh I think 394 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 4: it was was. 395 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 3: It Decker that just announced it at the time one 396 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: of the lines and not not not not not not 397 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 3: right now? But the other guy that just read He goes, 398 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 3: I've been doing this. 399 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 4: For thirteen years, and I've played this many games. 400 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 3: I can't do it anymore, just physically, I just can't 401 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: every single you know, date, game after game after games. 402 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 7: So yeah, it also doesn't seem like out of all 403 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 7: the positions like football, that seems like the least fun. Yeah, 404 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 7: I've said that before, Right, you're just banging up against 405 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 7: three hundred yard three hundred, three hundred and fifty pound 406 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 7: guys NonStop. 407 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if I brought that up on the air. 408 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: Was just Deuce and I talking, but I was saying, 409 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: what compels anybody who want to play offensive line or defense, 410 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: but particularly offensive the money? It's well, yeah, that's obviously, 411 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: but because you look at it, and you say it's 412 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 3: there's not a lot of glory to it unless your 413 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: line is absolutely dominant, or your Trent Williams, or you're 414 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 3: you know, you're outstanding, You're you're a Randall McDaniel, you're 415 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: one of those guys that's so good, or or I 416 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 3: remember John Randall.

He said, Larry out of Dallas toughest. 427 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: No doubt. 428 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: So unless you're one of those guys, you don't really 429 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 3: get a lot of plot. It's you get paid good. 430 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: You're right, you're paid well. 431 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: Not good. 432 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: You get paid good, you get paid well, but there's 433 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 3: not a lot of glory in it. And you're right, 434 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: it's just like you're beaten and battered every game. 435 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 4: You go from cold. 436 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: Tub to hot, to lukewarm tub to massage therapist. 437 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 4: But yeah, we'll uh so again. 438 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 3: It's it's I do wonder what I'm gonna ask Ship. 439 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 4: His opinion on the Vikings quarterback situation. You know it's. 440 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 3: Pellisera if you remember reported last year. I had to 441 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 3: be reminded of that. I didn't even remember. I as 442 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: the Vikings did make an offer. I thought they'd just 443 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 3: let him walk without even giving them an offer, but 444 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: apparently they did. 445 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: The thing is they only gave him a one year deal. 446 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 3: Is what if I understand it correctly in the Viking 447 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: and Seattle said three, and so he took the And 448 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: I also think he thought he had a better He 449 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 3: was he was going to be the guy in Seattle. 450 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 4: There was no question about that. 451 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 3: I don't think Sam was sure he was going to 452 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: be the guy here despite the fact he played so well, 453 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: because I let's face it, and and look, I don't 454 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 3: blame the Vikings for saying we want the guy that 455 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 3: we pushed all the chips on the table with, you know, 456 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 3: into the middle of the table for you know, the youngster, 457 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 3: because everybody does want to have that quarterback, that young 458 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 3: quarterback that performs at a high level on that rookie deal. 459 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 4: And so we'll see how that works as. 460 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: Once we get to Oda's and Minnie camps and preseason 461 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: and the training camp in the preseason, well we'll break. 462 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: We'll come back a lot of text messages coming in 463 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: on a very controversial topic tenebe that I don't know 464 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 3: if I'm going to broach it, but I might cursive writing. 465 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: We'll do that next comment.

That would make sense, 486 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 3: but it says other suitors Cardinals and Vikings. But if 487 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: you can get a guy like Sam Darnold or Daniel 488 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: Jones in your in your organization. 489 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you want to get let them know? 490 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 4: How do these teams get those players? 491 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 3: Next up on that list at number eight though, CBS 492 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 3: Sports thinks he's going to retire, retire, retires Aaron Rodgers. 493 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: They think Pittsburgh is the most likely landing spot. Do 494 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 3: they have other suitors Vikings? 495 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: So, I don't know. 496 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: I mean, again, they didn't want him last time. Apparently 497 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: as we all know, he was. He had a conversation 498 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 3: with with with with O'Connell about quarterbacking here and I 499 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: you know, and I've said before, I don't know if 500 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: that was just a friendship slash professional courtesy conversation. Because 501 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: they do have a history together, they know each other 502 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 3: from the olden days. 503 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 4: I guess and. 504 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: Maybe it was just like, you know, if if a 505 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 3: if a four time MVP, who's gonna who's gonna be 506 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 3: a surefire first ballot, a unanimous Hall of Famer. Probably right, 507 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 3: you don't just dismiss him and say, hey, I'm I 508 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 3: had like to talk to you, but I got other. 509 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 4: Things going on. 510 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna go ahead and you're gonna hold court with them. 511 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 2: They think Rogers is going to retire. 512 00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 4: That's what they think. 513 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 2: Do you feel that way? 514 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't. 515 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 7: He still had something in the tank. He didn't He 516 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 7: didn't give out the energy or vibe like, man, I'm done, 517 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 7: I've I've had this enough enough. 518 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 6: Yeah. 519 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: I do think part of the reason he's stuck around 520 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: before is you look at he's he's Sinatra like. He 521 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 3: did it his way's and now the end is, you know, 522 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: he's lived a life that's rich and full, and he 523 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: did it his way for the most part. But I 524 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 3: got to think there's still something non at you when 525 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: you go, yeah, I won an MVP four times and 526 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 3: I'm a Hall of Famer, But look at all the 527 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: other guys that won multiple big games, you know, and 528 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: he had the one in twenty ten and my guess 529 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: is he was thinking he would have several more opportunity, 530 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 3: and he did have opportunities to get to the big game. 531 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 3: He just never was able to seal the deal. And 532 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: I do and again, I don't remember every play, every series, 533 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 3: every quarter, every half of the games, but I do 534 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 3: remember emotion. 535 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 4: Those NFC championship games. 536 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: You could certainly point the finger for at least some 537 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: of the blame on Rogers himself. 538 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't like Rogers. 539 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 3: It was like like his defense let him down, or 540 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: guys drop balls, or the offensive line didn't provide protection. 541 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: There were times where he just did not play particularly well. 542 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 3: So you think somewhere in him he's still going, I'd 543 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: like to just one more time, get a chance on 544 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 3: grabbing that brass wearing. 545 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 7: It also seems like, I mean, he's hard to read, 546 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 7: but he also seems because he loves attention, yep. And 547 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 7: he might be one of those guys that lets you 548 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 7: know ahead of time he's going to retire instead of 549 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 7: I don't seem just walking away in the middle of 550 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 7: the off season. Also, Mike McCarthy's now the head coach 551 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 7: at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those two want a big game 552 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 7: together in Great So yeah they did. Maybe he's got 553 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 7: a good vibe with him and wants to say. 554 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. So then I scrolled out because I'm 555 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: looking for other potential players the Vikings, you know, and 556 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 3: think again, this is just some guy's speculation. 557 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: On who the Vikings would be interested in. But they 558 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 4: had the name Kobe Bryant. 559 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, not the former basketball player no safety for the Patriots. 560 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: New England made a huge jump this year thanks to 561 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: some big spending on defense, and they keep that trend 562 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: going by adding the versatile Bryant. Other suitors Commanders, Panthers, 563 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: and Vikings, And that does make sense if indeed they do. 564 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: If and Harrison Smith, by all accounts, is retiring, right, 565 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't he could change his mind, but 566 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: I don't think you do that big send off you 567 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: stop the game and have him announce. 568 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 4: That, you know, blah blah blah. 569 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: I think he's probably had enough. But that would make 570 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 3: sense that the Vikings would be in the market for that. 571 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: Here's another one tend to be that they think the 572 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 3: Vikings would be in the market for. 573 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 4: Rashid Shahied. 574 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a good acquisition for the Seattle Seahawks. 575 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: As Seattle traded multiple picks at the deadline to acquire Shahed, 576 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 3: he hasn't had as big a role as expected. He's 577 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 3: been terrific as a returner with three return tuddies including 578 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: the playoffs. Other shooters, Rams, Giants, Vikings. 579 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: You like him. 580 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 7: I think that would be a very good fit for 581 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 7: the Vikings one. As you just mentioned, he would immediately 582 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 7: upgrade their return game. And I know we don't get 583 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 7: as many kick kick returns as we once did, but 584 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 7: you know you'd probably get a special teams touchdown at 585 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 7: least during the season at some point. He's also I 586 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 7: think the type of player the Vikings are missing from 587 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 7: a wide receiver standpoint. You know, the Vikings the last 588 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 7: couple years, I've always had kind of a quality three 589 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 7: guy set right. JJ is one of the best in 590 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 7: the league. Jordan Addison if he returns, he's quality. When 591 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 7: we have kJ Osbourne and now Jalen Naylor, they're fine 592 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 7: as number three otter receivers. But Rashiza heat is a 593 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 7: guy who can take the top off. He's the guy 594 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 7: who can stretch the field. You have to respect the 595 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 7: deep game, which can open up some things underneath, and 596 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 7: I feel like we haven't had a lot of that. 597 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 7: As good as Justin Jefferson is, that's not really part 598 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 7: of his game. 599 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: He's more of an intermediate guy. 600 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 4: Thirtieth uh. 601 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 3: The best free agent if that's the ranking, and by number, 602 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: most desirable, whatever however you want to phrase it, Center 603 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: Cade Mays of the Panthers. They heat thinks Carolina keeps Mays, 604 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 3: who has developed nicely since being a sixth round pick 605 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. But other suitors will be the Texans, 606 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 3: the Vikings, and the Lions. I think anytime you see 607 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 3: offensive players, offensive lineman, you're going to see Vikings and 608 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: Lions probably as suitors. 609 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 7: You know. I'll tell you though, like as the offensive 610 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 7: line play wasn't great this year, right, But other than center, 611 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 7: I don't know if you'd go, hey, we have a 612 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 7: need here, yeah, right? I mean, assuming your left tackle 613 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 7: is actually going to be healthy and playing next year 614 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 7: and O'Neill's still a quality right tackle, you got Fries 615 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 7: and free agency last year. 616 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 2: At right guard, he's fine. 617 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 7: You have at a rookie left guard, so it's you're 618 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 7: probably only replacing one spot. 619 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: That's the center position. 620 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 3: N Kobe Dean thirty third ranked free agent as a linebacker. 621 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: They believe you'll sign with the Titans, but they say 622 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 3: the Vikings could be potential, could have potential interest. 623 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 4: Do they need help? They need probably help in every position. 624 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 7: You could say that, yeah, then they actually have I 625 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 7: have a feeling before we go to the draft. You 626 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 7: know me, I'm a take a best player available, and 627 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 7: I'm going to say even more this year because there's 628 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 7: so many needs everywhere. 629 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: Just find a star player. 630 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 4: The thirty fourth ranked player. 631 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 3: The cbssports dot Com has the Vikings signing this player, 632 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 3: with Rams, Jets, and Bears as the other suitors. 633 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 4: Safety Cameron Curl Are you. 634 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: Familiar with them? Not too familiar with them? 635 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 4: Now? 636 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: A strong tackling safety has done solid work with both 637 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 3: the Commanders and the Rams. What are they gonna Sean Wright, 638 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 3: cornerback Chicago Bears, right, was one of the most surprising 639 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 3: breakouts of the twenty twenty five season. 640 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 4: After one interception in four seasons, he had five in his. 641 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 3: Only campaign with the Bears, added two forced fumbles and 642 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 3: three funnel recoveries. 643 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 4: Teams that will be vine for. 644 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 3: His services include the Jaguars, the Rams, and the Vikings. 645 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 3: And again, remember I keep saying this, this is just all 646 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 3: speculation from a sports staff that writes for CBS whether 647 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: the Vikings are but I think it's I think it 648 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 3: makes sense because you're right, because of those needs. But 649 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 3: I'll leave I generally leave most of the free agents 650 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 3: stuff to the guys that understand it better. When I 651 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 3: mean to understands like salary, cap and bone. You know, 652 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 3: it's like after a while, it's like it's it's it's 653 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: hard to know who they can squeeze under the cap, 654 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 3: what money they have to more than likely the Bikings. 655 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 3: We talked about this the name you know, there's there 656 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 3: are a number of names of people that they're going 657 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 3: to have to get to renegotiate. But I think number 658 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 3: one on that list would be their tight end. Right, Well, 659 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 3: Hawkinson's do like if they just let him play on 660 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 3: his current contract next year, just yep, whatever you sign, 661 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 3: I think he'll be making twenty one million against the cap, right. 662 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 4: And they're they're not going to do They're not going 663 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 4: to know no. 664 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 7: So that's the other thing is is the restructure or 665 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 7: he's gonna be cut ca right. 666 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 3: And so what that's again like it's it's it's it's 667 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 3: nice to do the oldest and the most wonderful time 668 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 3: in the world to think of all the free agents 669 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 3: you could sign, but it gets more complicated and just 670 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: this is on my wish list and we're going to 671 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 3: get them. 672 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 7: Well back to the cornerback position. Since Bflow has gotten there, 673 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 7: they've kind of neglected getting cornerbacks and free agency. Right 674 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 7: two years ago, they got Shack where you at, and 675 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 7: they didn't get him until what like June, like right 676 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 7: May or June, they didn't. 677 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 2: They didn't the first day of free agency. They weren't 678 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: going after anyone. 679 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 7: I forget the other corner who was also a little 680 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 7: along in the tooth who had a successful career, but 681 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 7: it was old at the time. And then last year 682 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 7: they got Isaiah Rodgers on day one, who is basically 683 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 7: a part time player for Philadelphia, and then got your 684 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 7: guy Okuda. But they haven't really invested in the corner 685 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 7: requisition in free agency. You're right, they other than re 686 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 7: signing Byron Murphy Jr. 687 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 4: That's correct. 688 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 3: The last player that they have the Vikings interested in 689 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 3: is again you guess the tenn Toby another safety that 690 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 3: would be Brian Cook and the Broncos. So I guess 691 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 3: what this list does do, though, is if you believe 692 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 3: that Harrison Smith. 693 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 4: Is going to retire, and I think we do believe 694 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 4: that there are quality free agents. 695 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 3: Available at that position, just matter if you can offer 696 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 3: the right deal, if they want to come here, blah 697 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 3: blah blah, and if the team is interested. Also, with 698 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 3: our center having all of his concussion issues, was it 699 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 3: three concussions this year? 700 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 4: And what career wise? 701 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 3: He's at five six And those are just ones they 702 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 3: know of, you know there, who knows go back to 703 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 3: when he was playing you know, Howard Pully and Pop 704 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 3: Warner football. Who knows how many he had, if he 705 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 3: had any, He may have had some then. But there 706 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 3: was a center or two out there as well. So 707 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: there are players in the free agent position. It's like, 708 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 3: but your salary caps Like most teams, it doesn't seem 709 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 3: to be as healthy as you'd like. 710 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 4: They'll be busy in the front office when it. 711 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: Comes to with you know, Brazinski, the capologist, Guy Quazy 712 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 3: and and whoever else. 713 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 4: Fiddles around with that. 714 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 2: The quarterback thing would be I think interesting, right. 715 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 7: I would assume Daniel Jones will resign with Indy and 716 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 7: probably Aaron Rodgers. 717 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 2: Goes back to Pittsburgh. 718 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 7: But if one of them hits free agency, whether the 719 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 7: Vikings presume or not, I think that's a top discussion 720 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 7: we could have. And then if they do pursue, what 721 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 7: does that say about their faith in JJ McCarthy. 722 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if they did pursue a quarterback, you know, 723 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 3: I think he might be right about Rogers going to Pittsburgh. Though, 724 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 3: I will say this. You know, Rogers and I believe 725 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 3: the reports. Last year, the Vikings were his choice because 726 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 3: I think he liked how the team looked. Now, maybe 727 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 3: after he saw that offensive line this year, he's changed 728 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 3: his mind. But avan justin Jefferson, you know, if he's 729 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 3: not the best wide receiver in football, he's top two 730 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 3: or three. 731 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 4: Right. You look at that, and you. 732 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 3: You know, because let's face it, Rogers is it for 733 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 3: one thing and one thing only. He wants to get 734 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 3: back to the big game. That's what he wants. It's 735 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 3: not about money anymore. I mean, he'll take the pay check, 736 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 3: trust me. But remember didn't he say he was willing 737 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 3: to pay for you know, I'll play for ten or 738 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 3: eleven million dollars. I mean it wasn't like he was 739 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 3: asking for you know, I got to have a three year, 740 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: one hundred million dollar deal. 741 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 4: And that's the reports as he was going. Whether that's 742 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 4: true or not. 743 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: But I think winning, and so I think if there's 744 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 3: an opportunity to go somewhere, if there's another team that 745 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 3: might like him, that's in a better place position to win, 746 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 3: I think he would go there because I think that's 747 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 3: what's he's a mercenary now at this point. 748 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 4: He just wants to win and. 749 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 3: With you know, I you know, and again I don't 750 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 3: know if he looks at Minnesota as favorably as he 751 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 3: did last year, because by all reports last year he 752 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 3: was very interested and this year. 753 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 4: I don't know. 754 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 7: And I also say, Daniel Jones, at whatever price he's 755 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 7: going to get probably wouldn't as excite me as much 756 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 7: as you know, going into last year when you could get. 757 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: Him on the right. 758 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I agree with you, And you know, I 759 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 3: would think that, And again would it would would I 760 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 3: think Daniel Jones, if you believe what was reported and 761 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: and and I don't know if there's a quote from him, 762 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 3: but it it seemed that. 763 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 4: The belief is the reason he wanted to go. 764 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 3: He wanted to leave minnesotacause, remember he said very nice 765 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 3: things about Minnesota, Remember when he did the old why 766 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 3: they do things different here, boy, I'll tell you what 767 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 3: they know what they're doing here in Minnesota, like the 768 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 3: way they game planned, the way the quarterback room ran, 769 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 3: and all of those things. 770 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 4: But he felt he had a better chance. 771 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 3: To start in Baltimore in Indianapolis than he did in 772 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 3: Minnesota because he got the feeling, and I think he 773 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 3: was right. Now, McCarthy is going to be our number 774 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 3: one unless he fails miserably, then you're the guy. But 775 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 3: you're really not competing for the starting job unless I 776 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 3: mean unless the guys, unless the intended started liking McCarthy 777 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 3: is awful and the backups brilliant. Otherwise that's what they 778 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 3: were probably going to do. And he just felt he 779 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 3: had a better chance to start with Indianapolis, and that 780 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 3: turned out to be the case because he did start 781 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 3: there until he was he was hurt. 782 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 4: One more list thing. 783 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 3: It's the NBA trade deadline, buyer's guy fires, how contenders 784 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 3: can make moves before February fifth, And so what do 785 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 3: you think I did tend to be? I scrolled down 786 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 3: to the soon to be NBA World champion UH Minnesota 787 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 3: Timberwolves to see what they say. 788 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 4: It says. 789 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 3: Timberwolves financial situation says the Wolves are looking at around 790 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 3: three point five million in second apron hard cap space 791 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,439 Speaker 3: right now. That's enough wiggle room to get something done, 792 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 3: but not much as of right now. They'll have around 793 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 3: twenty one million in second apron space next season. Staying 794 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 3: below next year is probably a priority as well, so 795 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 3: keep that in mind. Assets the Wolves are basically out 796 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 3: of first round picks. 797 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 4: They have their own twenty twenty six pick, but it's 798 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 4: not tradable and that don't ask me why it's not tradable. 799 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 4: I don't understand it. 800 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 3: Every other pick is encumbered in some way or frozen. 801 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 3: Minnesota does have a handful of second round picks to dangle, though, 802 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 3: and they also have young players who like would likely 803 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 3: interest teams. Rob Dillingham has thus far been a bust, 804 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 3: but he's a recent number eight overall pick. Terrence Shannon 805 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 3: has been hurt lately but has been good when he's 806 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: played wall Bereonjire has impressed in tiny samples. Jaylen Clark 807 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 3: and Leonard Miller could probably get minutes on a worst team. 808 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 4: Then it goes to the. 809 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,959 Speaker 3: Category of needs more playmaking out of the back court. 810 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 4: If they had the twenty twenty one Mike. 811 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 3: Conley instead of the twenty twenty six Mike Conley, they 812 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 3: might win a championship. Now, I don't know if I'm 813 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 3: gonna go as far as to say that it certainly 814 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 3: it would be a major improvement if they had a younger, 815 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 3: more tread on the tires Mike Conley. 816 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: Alas, or if they hadn't missed right. 817 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 4: Well, that's it. And that's the other thing they say. 818 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 3: Because Dillion Aham was an eighth round pick, you know 819 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 3: he might be other teams or eighth overall. But it's 820 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 3: possible a lot of teams look at and say, you 821 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 3: just miscalculated on him so badly that I don't think 822 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 3: other teams in league go boy, he just hasn't been 823 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 3: able to develop there. But he was worthy of the 824 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 3: eighth pick overall, and maybe he maybe he is, maybe 825 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 3: he will be. I don't know, But I don't know 826 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: if teams are I don't know. If you dangle Rob 827 00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 3: Dillingham in front of it, I don't know what you 828 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 3: would getting. 829 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 7: Ready, you're still change your mind on that, Yes, exactly right. 830 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 7: Like for the Wild standpoint where like they don't have 831 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 7: many prospects to trade now if they want to get 832 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 7: some big names, David you'recheck's names coming up, the Wild 833 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 7: gave up like first second, third round pick and another Well, 834 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 7: they're not going to get that back. Like things change 835 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 7: over a course of months or a year, it says Kobe. 836 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 4: It says they can be looking at different kinds of guards. 837 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 3: It says Kobe White would give them a more scoring 838 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 3: point guard, which could at least ease defensive pressure on teammates, 839 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 3: even if he's not exactly a traditional play maker. That's 840 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 3: the best player likely available in Minnesota without breaking up 841 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 3: the roster's core. You'll cost several of these young players. 842 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 3: But if they feel confident they could resign White to 843 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 3: an affordable deal, it would be worth it. 844 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 4: I don't know. 845 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 3: I'll leave that to the experts. I'll leave that to 846 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 3: the big tickets of the world with whether that's the 847 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 3: right guy. But it does seem and then I've the 848 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 3: people I trust talking to people and reading things that 849 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 3: the uh, the Wolves need some bench scoring as well, 850 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 3: so we'll see. I mean, I'll again, last night they 851 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 3: was that last night? Did they play Golden State again? 852 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 2: Yeah? 853 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 7: Well they played the Golden States Junior varsity right, Yes, 854 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 7: and they played. 855 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,760 Speaker 4: Without hand uh because he took. 856 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 3: Uh load management on his on his foot again and 857 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 3: the apparently the uh the bones kid was pretty good again. Well, 858 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 3: he's been hot and cold, so I don't know how 859 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 3: much you can depend upon him. 860 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 4: Will will pause, come back? 861 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 3: Chips Goggins of the Minnesota Star Tribune and Fish Rep 862 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 3: after Westside joins us in studio next here on the 863 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 3: Fan
