Yes, and Peter joins us, Now, 231 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 4: how have you been and how was my attempt at 232 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 4: a PK haikup. 233 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 6: Was marvelous. The more haikous people do, the better, That's 234 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 6: what I always think. Hey, everything is going great. I 235 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 6: am now. 236 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: Able to. 237 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 6: You know what the biggest benefit of retiring after doing 238 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 6: that column for twenty seven years was the biggest benefit 239 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 6: by far is the fact that you know, if I 240 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 6: want to watch the Sunday night game, if it's good, 241 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 6: I watch it. If not, I walk the dog in 242 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 6: the middle of the second quarter, and by nine thirty 243 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 6: or quarter to ten, I'm in bed. And honestly, Paul, 244 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 6: there was nothing about the job that I hated at 245 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 6: all other than one thing or even mildly disliked, and 246 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 6: that is it got to a point where I just 247 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 6: didn't like working until three thirty or four thirty. 248 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: In the morning anymore. 249 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 6: And that is what was happening on Sunday night. So 250 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 6: NBC said, well, look, why don't you cut the column 251 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 6: in half and finish writing it at midnight? And if 252 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 6: there's a great Sunday night game, then you got to 253 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 6: write about it. How can you write a column without 254 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 6: writing about the Sunday night game. But anyway, whatever, blah blah, blah. 255 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: Life is good, and I just chose to focus my 256 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 6: efforts differently and had a good time writing this book. 257 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would imagine you are. We're going to 258 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 4: get to the book momentarily it's called The Game, but 259 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 4: I would imagine you're ready for some with retirement, some 260 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 4: time at Fenway and rooting for your buloved socks. 261 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 6: Right. Well, I probably you know, it's funny, I am 262 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 6: a Red Sox fan, but I probably have grown to 263 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 6: like the sport just as much as the Red Sox. 264 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 6: And by that, I mean, you know, I live in Brooklyn, 265 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 6: and so I can get on a subway and be 266 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 6: its City Field in about thirty five minutes, or can 267 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 6: get on a subway and be at Yankee Stadium in 268 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 6: about forty five. And I just I just love watching baseball. 269 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 6: I just I love it, and like I love when 270 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 6: I have trips that take me to various places, and 271 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 6: you know, I can find an excuse to go to 272 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 6: Target Field and walk by the sidheart and statue and 273 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 6: you know, and all that stuff.

And 279 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 6: I always thought to myself, how cool would it be 280 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 6: to be a journalist, where a sports writer or any 281 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 6: writer and be able to travel and see different parts 282 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 6: of the country.

But look, Paul I covered the Bengals in 337 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 6: a little town in training camp in a little town 338 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 6: called Willington, Ohio, where on the campus of Wilmington College. 339 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 6: Sam White, the rookie coach, put the Bengals through two 340 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 6: a days every day and training camp was six weeks long. 341 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 6: And it's at time. You know, Paul Brown was at 342 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 6: practice every practice with a huge Panama wide brimmed hat 343 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 6: to bend off. Then I watched twenty practices easy, maybe 344 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 6: thirty with him just standing with him that year. And 345 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 6: you know, honestly, the biggest regret on my career, honestly 346 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 6: is that I didn't walk away from every practice with 347 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 6: Paul Brown and write down the stuff that he said, 348 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 6: because that would have been in and of itself a 349 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 6: PhD class in football ology. But it was just so 350 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 6: much different. I mean, you lived in the dorm and 351 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 6: there were two payphones in the dorm, and so a 352 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 6: lot of the players come by my room to use 353 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 6: I had a phone in my room, and a lot 354 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,479 Speaker 6: of players Chris Collins, Art Boomersias and others the frider 355 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 6: wide receiver. They didn't want to stand in line to 356 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 6: use the phone one of the phones in there. So, 357 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 6: you know, just Paul just a totally, totally from the world. 358 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 4: That's fantastic, you know, and that There are two still 359 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 4: vivid NFL memories from around that time for me, and 360 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: I want to see if you covered either one of these. First, 361 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 4: Joe Montana making eye contact with actor John Candy in 362 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: the stands during Super Bowl twenty three, and a few 363 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 4: years earlier, Peter Rams quarterback Deeter Brock trying to beat 364 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 4: the vaunted eighty five Bears defense at Soldier Field in 365 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Game. Did you were you on hand 366 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 4: for either one of those? 367 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 6: I was on hand for the Montana John Candy game. 368 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 6: As far as the previous one, I was covering the 369 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 6: New York Giants at the time in nineteen eighty five, 370 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 6: and that year the Giants went to Soldier Field play 371 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 6: in the divisional game against the Bears. He lost twenty 372 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 6: one to nothing. That was a game that Sean Landetta 373 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 6: whiffed on a punt. The punt blew off. There was 374 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 6: such strong wind as Soldier Field that day that the 375 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 6: punt just blew to the side, so he couldn't he couldn't, 376 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 6: you know, he didn't punt the ball, and the Bears 377 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 6: went on and killed him. John Candy game was interesting 378 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 6: because you know, that was the game where you know, 379 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 6: Harris Barton was just a kid and he couldn't believe 380 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 6: anyway that he was playing in the Super Bowl. And 381 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 6: it was Montego who said to him personally, Ah, there's 382 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 6: John Candy over there. Look at him, and Harris Barton 383 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 6: looked at him, googleized, like, holy cow, John Candy. But 384 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 6: you know, those were the days when stories like that, 385 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 6: we're a lot more possible. You know, that's one thing. 386 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 6: And you know, Paul I will never say, oh my god, 387 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 6: it was so much better to cover in those days. 388 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 6: It was, you know, like in ninety four season when 389 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 6: the forty nine Ers won and Steve Young through six 390 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 6: touchdown passes to be the Chargers, and after the game, 391 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 6: I trailed him in his limo with his agent Lee Steinberg, 392 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 6: and he threw up on our shoes in the you know, 393 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 6: he was so dehydrated and trying to you know, guzzle 394 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 6: gatorade and he was he threw up. And then when 395 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 6: he got his room at the Miami Airport Marriott or 396 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 6: Miami Airport Hill, I think it was the Maria, he 397 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 6: had to lay in his bed and get ivs in 398 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 6: both armed before he could even start to celebrate. So wow, 399 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 6: I mean, it was those were the days that it 400 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 6: was a lot more possible to be a lot closer 401 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 6: to players and coaches. But all of that stuff became 402 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 6: my white whale, and why I was determined I was 403 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 6: going to always be able to do things like that. 404 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 6: And the last two Super Bowls covered were the two 405 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 6: Kansas City Super Bowl wins in the twenty two to 406 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 6: twenty three seasons, and I was fortunate enough after both 407 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 6: of those games to be alone with Andy Reid and 408 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 6: have them diagram what exactly happened that allowed the Chiefs 409 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 6: to win those games. 410 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 4: That's spectacular, I mean, second to non access and in fact, 411 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: we're going to get into that into maybe some lessons 412 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 4: for journalists coming up through the ranks, so to speak. 413 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 4: A little later with Peter King, were sharing memories from 414 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 4: a book that's going to come out in October, but 415 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 4: you can pre order it now.

At Peter Underscore King is 420 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 4: a good place to do that. The Game forty years 421 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 4: with PK all right, mid nineties ninety three free agency started. 422 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 4: Now Reggie White, the Great Reggie White and Peter King 423 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 4: went flying around the country together during the first year 424 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 4: of free first year in the history of free agency 425 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 4: in the NFL. Walk us through that, please and I 426 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: hope I got the story right and what led Reggie 427 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 4: to choosing the Green Bay Packers, who weren't very good 428 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: at that time. 429 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 6: What happened basically is that Ridge White was Rey White 430 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 6: was the jewel, and he won the lawsuit along with 431 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 6: the FLPA to be able to be a free agent. 432 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 6: And so what basically happened is that Reggie Waite, in 433 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 6: the course of trying to decide what he wanted to do, 434 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 6: took playing trips all around the country. I was on 435 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 6: the trip with him and his wife Sarah, his agent 436 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 6: Jimmy Sexton, and also Harry Galbreth, a guard at that time, 437 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 6: was flying around with him and I went from Tennessee 438 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 6: to Cleveland with them and talked about, you know, what 439 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 6: was to come, what was expected. He was going to 440 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 6: go go wine dined everything by Art Modell. And at 441 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 6: the time it was funny Bill Belichick with the coach 442 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 6: hard to be wined and dined by Bill Belichick. But 443 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 6: that's what was going to happen. What ended up happening 444 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 6: on that whole thing is that you know, I think 445 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 6: Reggie's field was a little bit limited financially by some 446 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 6: of the teams that really didn't have a lot of room, 447 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 6: didn't have the NFL set at early that first year, 448 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 6: some difficult rules for the top four teams in the 449 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 6: game the previous year the teams in the conference championship 450 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 6: games to be able to bid on free agents. And 451 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 6: so San Francisco is one of the teams that was limited. 452 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 6: And really I think he really wanted to go to 453 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 6: San Francisco. And look, I mean, I know he really 454 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 6: wanted to go to San Francisco, but at the time, 455 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 6: you know, the Packers had more to offer. And I 456 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 6: think he was also a little taken. I write in 457 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 6: the book about free agent trip he took to Green Bay, 458 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 6: which instead of going to getting wined and dined, he 459 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 6: had a long hour lunch at the Red Lobster in 460 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 6: Green Bay with Red Roads and Mike Hungrin and Brett 461 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 6: Farm and they all told him you got to you, 462 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 6: you know whatever, And and Olmgren was the perfect coach 463 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 6: to recruit Reggie because he wasn't going to be the 464 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 6: high pressure salesman and Reggie the high pressure. But there 465 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 6: are there's some I mean That's really one of my 466 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 6: favorite chapters in the book because going back and re 467 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 6: reporting talking to Ron Wolf the GM and Mike Reinfeld, 468 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 6: the cap guy of the Packers, talking to Jimmy Sexton 469 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 6: about doing this deal. It's I mean, is there's a 470 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 6: lot of suspense in that chapter. It's really one of 471 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 6: my favorites in the book. 472 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 4: So beautiful. That's so beautiful.

You know, I was really surprised 479 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 6: at the sort of So one of the things I 480 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 6: tried to do, Paul, in those years is that I 481 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 6: tried to get in travel with the super Bowl winning 482 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 6: coach the morning after the game, going to his day 483 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 6: after press conference. 484 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: Wow, okay. 485 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 6: And so I had gone with Jimmy after he won 486 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 6: the first his first super Bowl, and then you know, 487 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 6: and he was effervestent, abulion, so happy, and after the 488 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 6: second one he was miserable, absolutely totally miserable. And I 489 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 6: didn't know that two months later he was he and 490 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 6: Jerry were going to get this ugly divorce, but I 491 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 6: just knew there were big problems, and I detail a 492 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: lot of those problems, and I think it all has 493 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 6: to do with the fact that he gave Jimmy a 494 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 6: lot of power when he came to coach the Cowboys, 495 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 6: and Jimmy exercised the power. Jimmy is the one who 496 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 6: made the trades, Jimmy is the one who did all 497 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 6: these things. And so the bottom line in the whole 498 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 6: thing is that Jimmy, I think, just really chased at 499 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 6: all the stuff that Jerry wanted to get credit for 500 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 6: that he didn't do, and that is really one of 501 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 6: the big things that led to their divorce. 502 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: Some second to none elite stories from Peter King involving 503 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 4: his book called The Game Forty Years of covering the 504 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 4: NFL ww Norton dot com if you're interested in ordering 505 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 4: it pre ordering it.

This took place yesterday. 513 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 5: Florida defenseman Jeff Petree kind of the old timer. It 514 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 5: sounds like he's a right shot defenseman. He's going to 515 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 5: provide some depth along with Damon Hunt. And he was 516 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 5: added to the Minnesota Wild yesterday. He will join the 517 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 5: team in Vegas. This is per Russo it's a depth move, 518 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 5: as I mentioned, but I guess there's. 519 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: No max roster size. There's no limit on it. 520 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 5: So as long as you put together whatever the top 521 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 5: twenty is, etc. You can just keep adding as long 522 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 5: as you stay under the cap.

That's a 540 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 5: sweet name, Bobby Brink. 541 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 4: It's one of those names that requires you following it 542 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 4: with Bobby Brink. 543 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: I got all his albums. 544 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 5: Well, he's Minnetaka's finest. So he's a Minnetaka native. Dad 545 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 5: was a Gophers hockey player. 546 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: I believe.

So star 553 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 5: at Minnetaka sious City Musketeers, finds his way to the NHL, 554 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 5: finds his way to Philly, and now he's headed to 555 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 5: Saint Paul. How about that A couple of moves. People 556 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 5: looking for Trocheck, looking for Stamkos looking for was it 557 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 5: Ryan O'Reilly they're looking for some of these guys. Well, 558 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 5: they found Bobby Brik. Bobby Brik, and we do indeed 559 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 5: now or at least we will shortly have all of 560 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 5: his albums. 561 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 4: Well, yours truly requires or recalls for eur a Check. 562 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 4: A fair haul was given to get him, I believe, 563 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 4: and then we had injuries. 564 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: Clearly it didn't work out. 565 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 4: I think erecheck was for a first round pick all 566 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 4: that that would define quite the hall. So Euracheck's gone, 567 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 4: He's with Budsy's Philly Flyers. Bobby Clark go crazy. Now 568 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 4: you got Brink and whatever else you mentioned? And how 569 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 4: does all of that backdoor into the team potentially trading 570 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 4: for Olympian ben In Trocheck with the Rangers, who was 571 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 4: scratched last night. It was a healthy scratch against the Leafs. 572 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 4: Why because the Rangers are going to trade him today 573 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 4: and they didn't want him to get hurt. 574 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 5: I believe the term terminology used was roster management purposes. 575 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 4: So the roster management does it mean Trocheck will now 576 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 4: be managed by this roster that of the Carolina Hurricanes 577 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 4: or fiala relief with the La Kings inquiring minds want 578 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 4: to know.

But kind of the idea of he has 586 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 5: certainly because of like the Quinn Hughes move and stuff 587 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 5: like that, limited assets and the idea of well, do 588 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 5: you want to go all in with trocheck now versus 589 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 5: potentially something that's even bigger and or better this summer? 590 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: Right, and then the only. 591 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 4: Question I would have is what is that? Well, what's 592 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 4: bigger and better is making sure Hughsey stays. Well, yeah, 593 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 4: I mean top of the top of the head for me, 594 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 4: Let's make sure Hughsey stays. I think there's more term 595 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 4: left on his deal after this year, another year, another year. Yeah, 596 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 4: so the summer would be the time to take one 597 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 4: and make it five, take one and make it six, 598 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 4: make sure you keep hughesy Boldsey, Caprice. 599 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: Off ericson ck. 600 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 4: And uh, it would be another hive flying youngster. 601 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: We we'd have to keep.

Bold is on a long 604 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 4: long term deal. Okay, so those five, that's that, that's 605 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 4: the Fab five. That would be the Fab five. So 606 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 4: Gorilsey in Boldsey in FABSI in uh juel Erics and 607 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 4: Eck and Hughesy got to make sure those two stay 608 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 4: part of the covenant. 609 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 5: So that could be the next big move.

If there's going to be a new center 660 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 5: for the Minnesota Moving Company, are we possibly in a spot, PA, 661 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 5: where we are looking at Michael Jurgins and Blake Brandle 662 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 5: as starting week one, twenty twenty six for the Purple. 663 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 4: You would be, we would be, all of us would 664 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 4: be if we recognize the reality the Chicago Bears have 665 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 4: all the money nobody else in the division as any. 666 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 4: So watch beloved BJ House, Linderbaum and McGovern. 667 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 5: Chicago. 668 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 4: Be yeh, because he can uh that that's you know, 669 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 4: when you were rattling through the quarterbacks and everything, I 670 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 4: was like, yeah, there's there's JJ McCarthy too, everybody, Yeah 671 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 4: he still exists. JJ McCarthy just turned twenty three, probably 672 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 4: his big boys probably grown up a little bit mature 673 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 4: out there throwing on the West Coast with something something 674 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 4: called John Beck. 675 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: And then you got Jurgens and Randall. Yeah, sure, I 676 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: mean they they. 677 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 4: I'm not going to pretend to have watched their What's 678 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 4: up cg to have watched their all twenty two and 679 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 4: watched it back from the two zero two five, But 680 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 4: they definitely are options and their options, especially if Beloved 681 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 4: BJ uses all of his money and takes Linderbaum and McGovern. 682 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 5: Chicago. 683 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, only time will tell, Daviy. Let me hit you 684 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: with this. 685 00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 5: Bikes fights free agency around the corner. If for some 686 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 5: reason we had some money and needed to upgrade defensively. 687 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 4: Money just walked in the door in the shape of 688 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 4: Chad Greenway. Yeah, We've all the NFC north got money. 689 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: Now can he put a. 690 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 5: Down payment on our defensive front in twenty twenty six? Yep, 691 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 5: an investment opportunity for number five too. 692 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 4: Well with Greenway here, if we talk quarterbacks beginning ten 693 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 4: minutes from now, recognize the last time Jimmy Garoppolo was 694 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 4: mentioned on a Friday into this microphone. I ended up 695 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 4: walking the streets of New Orleans by myself. So let's 696 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 4: be very cognizant and smart of these quarterbacks that we 697 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 4: bring up. 698 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. 699 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 5: If if we need some help defensively, I don't know 700 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 5: how much you've watched him. There's a guy that intrigues me. 701 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 5: His name is Leo Chanal with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, 702 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 5: and at the linebacker spot. He'll play inside and outside 703 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 5: for Spags's defense. I like the versatility from a Flores standpoint. 704 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 5: He's terrific against the run, but he also has the 705 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 5: wheels to pass rush. Leo Chanal as a potential linebacker. 706 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 5: If there's either some Eric Wilson related negativity, we can 707 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 5: look at our own guys in the fact that I've 708 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 5: in pace, maybe not guaranteed to return, et cetera. Leo 709 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 5: Chanal is just a name former badger. I think I 710 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 5: put that in my back pocket and just kind of 711 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 5: kick some tires on that a little bit. 712 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: I like how Leo plays. 713 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 4: I wonder if playing on the Chiefs, the way they 714 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 4: run things and the fact that you know they are 715 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 4: the Chiefs man, they're in every single game. They seem 716 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 4: like they're all one score games. But there's just way 717 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 4: the game shape can dictate how well or how poorly 718 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,959 Speaker 4: players play over the course of time. And the point 719 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 4: being here is in this individual year of free agency, 720 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 4: I just wonder if the Alec Pierce's, Juwan Jennings and 721 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 4: Leo Shanall's of the world. Yeah, if they're just gonna 722 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 4: get X amount of dollars more than anybody ever thought 723 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 4: they should get. Yes, because free agency ain't the greatest 724 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 4: thing in the world this year. And unless you're beloved 725 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 4: BJ and you get the guy from Baltimore and Buffalo, 726 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 4: they have all the money. 727 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: We got all the money. Can't dispute it. They have 728 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,359 Speaker 1: all the money all right. 729 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 5: Now, don't physically accost me when I go down this road, Okay, 730 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 5: Jamel Dean, I believe was a name that Ben Lieber 731 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 5: brought up yesterday at the corner, and he's a nice 732 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 5: corner from Tampa. But we're pinching pennies and it is 733 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 5: a free agency period where we are scratching the surface 734 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 5: of Alec Pierce's of the world. 735 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 4: What if Briz has the twenty twenty six version of 736 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 4: the poison pill up his sleeve and he's about ready 737 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 4: to drop something on Monday, nobody sees coming. 738 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 5: Jeff Acuda, I believe we could have put that in 739 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 5: the box of being maybe a reclamation project, an opportunity 740 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 5: for him. Sadly, concussions and just his inability to make 741 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,919 Speaker 5: the dances and stay on the field proved to be problematic. 742 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: Don't hit me. 743 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 4: I wonder what air Stokes is up to these days. 744 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 4: You know, that's really interesting you said that. No, I'm not, 745 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 4: in fact, I'm going to join exactly what you said 746 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:15,399 Speaker 4: in lockstep, because now Eric Stokes somebody who has had 747 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 4: a lot of his skills, running ability and stuff like that, 748 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 4: robbed by injury. 749 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like Jeff Okudah. 750 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 4: Now Stokes wasn't in Okudah's class when he played at 751 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,959 Speaker 4: Georgia and Okudah played at Ohio State. 752 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: Okudah was just a better overall corner. 753 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 5: Back in the day, and we found our way around 754 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 5: Eric Stokes when he was wearing green and gold a 755 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 5: little bit too. 756 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: But here's the deal. 757 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 4: And I don't know how many played for the Raiders 758 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 4: last year, so maybe it's still you know, play three, 759 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 4: miss five, play two, miss six. 760 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: I got no idea. I'll find it in ten seconds. 761 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 4: Stokes is gifted if he has not lost, assuming he's 762 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 4: lost part of his skill set but not all of it. 763 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 4: What would Eric Stokes be like in a Brian Flores defense? 764 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 4: You see, That's what intrigues me there, because he's going 765 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 4: to be cheap of all cheap ever to be cheap. 766 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: Yes, but I made sixteen games he's played. 767 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 5: It's only this one game the last two seasons, last 768 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 5: one in Green Bay and last. 769 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: Year for Raiders. Oh jeez, didn't know that. So he's 770 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 1: made the dances. 771 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 4: So you just need to think of like what Fabian 772 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 4: Moreau gave this team in the amount of time he played. Now, 773 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 4: Moreau's been around the block longer than Stokes, and he 774 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 4: stayed healthier, but he was a third slash fourth corner. 775 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 4: And when Moreau had to play because of the way 776 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 4: they crafted the way Flores crafts defense. There were times 777 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 4: in Seattle Moreau ended ended up singled against Jackson Smith 778 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 4: and Jigbub and they didn't trip on it, and nothing 779 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 4: bad happened because they had the pass rush constructed in 780 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 4: a way where Sam had no idea where it was 781 00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 4: coming from. So Flores squeezed every single thing you possibly 782 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 4: can out of out of Fabian Moreau. So when I 783 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 4: saw the name Eric Stokes, I thought the exact same thing. 784 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 4: You thought, Yeah, why not? Different type of defense? Skilled, 785 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 4: but has lost some of the physical ability due to 786 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 4: injuries undoubtedly, or he wouldn't be where he is now, 787 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 4: And that that's something that I would I would kick 788 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 4: the proverbial tires a little bit on And I. 789 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,280 Speaker 5: Know from a Minnesota sports fans standpoint, you want Trocheck, 790 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 5: you want Stamkos. You're learning about Jeff Petrie and Bobby Brink, right, 791 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,439 Speaker 5: something new happened, No, no, no, no. But my point 792 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 5: is is you want Linderbaum, you want some of these 793 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 5: names in free agency, and we're talking about Leo Shanall 794 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 5: and Eric Stokes. That's kind of the place where our 795 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 5: favorite team is at the moment, right, So we shall 796 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 5: show the draft gift to change, and you have the 797 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 5: draft for corners and centers? Is I want like Monday 798 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 5: last year? Betheneman cap By the way, the way he 799 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,359 Speaker 5: showed out at the draft, I'm almost wondering if he's 800 00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 5: going to be available at eighteen. 801 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 4: That kid's good, dude. Yeah, and the way we secured 802 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 4: the steam a second none. Atticus Sappington the Atlanta Falcons 803 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 4: twenty twenty six kicker about ready to walk off on 804 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 4: Baker twice, but having gone from a ninety minute chat 805 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 4: with Oregon kicker Atticus Sappington having never heard of Tinam 806 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 4: and Theenemon, to then get into the combine and learning 807 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 4: about Theenemon the Oregon Duck safety. Well, then now all 808 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's like, well, this is just too 809 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 4: good to be true. The person I sat next to him, 810 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 4: what he said about the guy, and we need this 811 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 4: and it just seems too perfect for us to not 812 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 4: have him. 813 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it does seem too perfect.
