1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Well. Over the thirty plus years I've been sitting in

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: this chair, I've started late a lot of times, time

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: runs over spot issues. I don't remember ever starting early

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: for a three hour shift. But here we are. It's

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: the common Man program. Dan is out this week. It's

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: a revolving chair over the next four or five days,

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: and lucky you you get Sinnecon on a Monday, Dave

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Sinecon along with Brett Blake Moore figuring out a way

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: to fill three hours, and we get an extra two

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: or three minutes just to all boy, just to make

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: things a little bit more difficult. Whenever I fill in

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: for common I always try to follow his lead. I

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: just don't come in with any prep. I just figure

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: I'll sit down like him and we'll make it happen.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: So here we go.

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Here we go, Brett, we got a few hours to

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: make magic happen.

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: When the last time you played golf?

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: What did I shoot on one back on October third

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. I'm not even sure I played

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: in October. I think it I probably did. But if

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna ask me what I shot on one or

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: how I did on one, I know no recollection I

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: can guarantee it was not a par and I'm sure

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: I was not in the fair way. Usually takes me

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: a few holes to get going. You've played much more

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: recently because you were in the Lovely Desert over Christmas

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: and got to place some target golf in Arizona. So no,

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: you will not be subjected to my golf game. I

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: can't promise I won't subject you to Blake Morris because

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: we got nine segments to fill and there's every possibility

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: that might happen. I do have one guest lined up

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: at one thirty five. We will chat Timberwolves with one

34
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: of my favorite chroniclers of the timber Puppies, that is

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Britt Robson, a frequent guest of mine.

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: He will join.

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: He writes for the Forminpost dot com and does a

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: great job spinning the words. We will chat with him.

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: The Wolves play tonight, the Wild play tonight. We will

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: get into all of that. I feel like this is

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: this is NFL day, right. It's the Monday after Week seventeen.

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: It started back on Christmas Day and went through a

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: thrilling if you love offense game last night, and a

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: lot of things have been made clear. There's a lot

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: of storylines to talk about, a lot of news revolving

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the two teams we like to chat about most, even

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: though this will be the least attractive, least anticipated border

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: battle in recent memory. Ever, Well, probably someone's gonna text

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: me and go, don't you remember like three years ago?

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: Don't you remember nineteen seventy eight? Come on? No more likely?

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: Don't you remember two years ago?

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: Dave?

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: How stupid are you?

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: There was a I don't remember when, but yeah, there's

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: very little to get excited about Sunday right except at

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: this point Vikings fans, the draft position dream is dead, right,

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: win or lose.

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: You're kind of where you are.

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: You may as well beat the Packers right and get

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: the nine win season, get a winning season after the

61
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: pair shaped season it's been to finish with five straight wins,

62
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: the old cliche momentum going into the twenty six season,

63
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: with five straight wins, that would mean something. I mean,

64
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: really what I haven't looked at? What's the difference in

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: draft position versus win versus lost for the Vikings. Do

66
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: you have any idea? Because I think it was like

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: seventeen heading into last week, I think, or maybe that

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: was after.

69
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: Christmas, as it stands right now, they're picking seventeenth in

70
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: the draft.

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: They are.

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: So there's a couple eight and eight teams. There's Detroit

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: who's Detroit right now is picking above Minnesota in the draft,

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: which is just ubsurd, and they will likely finish eight

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: to nine. They'll likely lose in Chicago. We can agree

76
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: on that correct.

77
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because they don't have anything to play for either.

78
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: They do not, and Ben bes Pa was saying about

79
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: an hour ago, Ben Johnson, after the Lions put fifty

80
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: something on his squad, he's ready.

81
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: To deliver a little payback.

82
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: So Detroit's going to be eight and nine. Baltimore, they've

83
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: got something to play for, yep. So that's kind of

84
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: a coin toss there. Then Minnesota at seventeen, the Jets

85
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: via Indianapolis at eighteen, which is just up Storr. We

86
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: talked about that yesterday, that the fall of Indianapolis is

87
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: more sudden than ours, and then Carolina it's also eight

88
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: and eight. So a bunch of those teams from fifteen

89
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: to nineteen all in the eight and eight range.

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Right, So you know you're gonna pick somewhere between fifteen

91
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: and nineteen. Doesn't really matter at that point, like our

92
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Viking fans gonna, oh man, we could have gone to

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: sixteen if we had let the Packers win. Now we're eighteen.

94
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter right this time. For that was five weeks. Yes,

95
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: when were they were staring at like the top seven

96
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: or eight pick right at that point.

97
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: But I'm not one of those guys that you blew it.

98
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: You should have lost out and gott into four and thirteen.

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Although four and thirteen is kind of a magic number

100
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: if you think about it. I think the Jaguars were

101
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: four and thirteen, the Patriots were four and thirteen, and

102
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: look at them now, look at them now, they're both

103
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: in play for the one seed. Bears were five and twelve.

104
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: They the number one seed died last night. But obviously

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: quite a turnaround. It's that's kind of the story of

106
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: this year, is the massive turnarounds for teams. I mean

107
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: usually there's one, but like last year was Washington that

108
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: jumps to mind.

109
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: They went right back to correct where they were.

110
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: Yes, and that wasn't a real surprise. They were living

111
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: on all kinds of pixie dust last year, kind of

112
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: like the Bears in a way. I'm not going to

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: crap on the Bears too much. But we all know

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: that they are a whole lot of luck away from

115
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: being six and eleven right now this season. If you

116
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: look at some of the way those games ended against

117
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: bad teams too. I mean, forget the Packer game two

118
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the Raiders game. I mean there were four

119
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: or five games where they were dead and buried with

120
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: three minutes left and somehow found a way to win.

121
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: And I'm again good for them. Maybe that's going to

122
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: springboard them to now a team that's dominant for years.

123
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: We'll see. But I watched a team last night in

124
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, who gave up forty two points or

125
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: more for the third time this season. That's the only

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: team in the NFL that's done that, given up at

127
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: least forty two points three times. So I don't believe

128
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: their time has come. I don't see them steamrolling through

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: the NFC. I don't trust San France's defense either. No,

130
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: one of the very few predictions I got right, it

131
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: might be the only one I got right. No, I

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: got too because I said the Commanders would missed the playoffs.

133
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: I said the Lions would would not win the North.

134
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: But I also thought San Francisco would be the number

135
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: one seed, which is still in play, and it wasn't

136
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: because I think they're dominant. It's because I saw their schedule.

137
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: That fourth place schedule for San Francisco was so soft

138
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: this year that I thought, man, if they just stay healthy,

139
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: you know they're going to be they have a chance

140
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to be the one seat. Well, they didn't stay healthy.

141
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: You know, that team you have to get in some

142
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: credit because we kind of whine about the packers plight

143
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: with all the key players that have been lost to injury.

144
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco is saying, you know, hold my kleenex. We

145
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback for eight weeks. We lost the

146
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: two best defensive players in our team, who, by the way,

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: are probably two of the top ten in the league

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: in Nick Bosa week three and Fred Warner, I don't

149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: know when it was week seven or eight. And yeah,

150
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: so their defensive struggle, but whether it was Perdi or

151
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: mac Jones, the offense has carried that team and they

152
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: haven't had George Kittle for half the season. So when

153
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco's done, you have to tip their cap. They

154
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: have a very good chance at the one seed, and

155
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: that's why you look at Week eighteen and it's kind

156
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: of cool. We both love our two fan bases, would

157
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: love the fact that our teams were more of a factor.

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: But the fact that neither number one seed is wrapped

159
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: up heading into week eighteen.

160
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: That's rare. That does not happen very often.

161
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: And four division titles are still in play heading into

162
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: week eighteen. So I mean, if you love just football

163
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: and you put your fandom aside, there is some drama

164
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: yet to be unleashed, and we'll go through all of

165
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: it on this program. Let me tell you the rest

166
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: of the day on the Fan again, this is a

167
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: week every year I get a little run. All the

168
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: filling guys get a little run. No common, no burero

169
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: this week as they take the week off between Christmas

170
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and New Year's. Alec Lewis will join the program at

171
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: three o'clock for an abbreviated one hour edition of the

172
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Bumper to Bumper program. Alec Lewis talking all things Purple

173
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: and NFL from three to four. Then Vikings rewind at

174
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: four o'clock, taking you into World Juniors on the Fan

175
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: team USA versus Slovakia. Is this a Zach Halverson production?

176
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Do you know I believe, so, Yes, we should know

177
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: who the broadcast team is because that's fun stuff. I'm

178
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: sure Zach is he's been doing it. Yes, it's so

179
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: geeked to be able to do these games. I'm really

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: happy for him that he gets to do that. We

181
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: will carry that game on the fan at five o'clock

182
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: today that at seven, we will have the first half

183
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: of the Riveting Rams Falcons game, final Monday night game

184
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: of the season, a game that has actually a little

185
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: bit more than you would think because the Rams, though

186
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the dream is dead for them to be the one seed,

187
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: they went out there the five seed, which is more

188
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: appealing than the six because obviously with five you get

189
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the NFC South champ Bucks, Panthers. That's they will be

190
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: heavily favored the Rams whether they play the Panthers or

191
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: Falcons as the five seed, whereas if they're the sixth seed,

192
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: they're going to get the loser of the Saturday night

193
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: game between the Seahawks and Niners. That's tricky, that's a

194
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: division game. But obviously if you tell them, hey, you

195
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: want to play the Bucks or Panthers or would you

196
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: rather play the Seahawks or Niners, I think we know

197
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: which way the rams would go, so they have something

198
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: to play for. Tonight will carry the first half of

199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: that and then we will have wild hockey against the

200
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights in Sin City nine o'clock. The coverage

201
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: on the fan. If you want to listen to the Wolves,

202
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: you will find them on the iHeart app. Just look

203
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: for the Timberwolves station on the free iHeart app. So

204
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: it's a pretty that's a pretty meaty day on a fan.

205
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: You could say it kind of starts with us at

206
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: this point, it gets better as the day goes along.

207
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't think I would take any overwa.

208
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: Where are the like the opening acts where like everyone's

209
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: kind of filing into the place totally, and then the

210
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: headliner comes on later.

211
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: I would go as far as to say, we're the

212
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: kind of event where there's like five or six bands

213
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: on the docket and we're number one.

214
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: We're the one we're trying to get our footmark the

215
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: local band that they're paying like twenty bucks too.

216
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Exactly, look at the opportunity we're giving you. Yes, As

217
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: the ushers are still cleaning out the seats and they're

218
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: making sure the beverages are cold enough for the ones

219
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: on stage at that point. But we're happy to be here,

220
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and certainly we'll welcome input from any and all who'd

221
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: like to communicate with us, whether it's via text. Bradshaw

222
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: and Bryan kfan text line six four six eighty six,

223
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: you could tweet me at TC head cheese.

224
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk.

225
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: I would say, primarily NFL today, the day after week seventeen,

226
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: and just take a wide look at where the league sits,

227
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: and where the Vikings sit heading into week eighteen, where

228
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: the Packers sit as they write a three game losing streak,

229
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and whatever is there a ward that's the opposite of momentum,

230
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Like can you look up? This will be being common now,

231
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: can you look up antonym of momentum? Antonym means opposite

232
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: of if you weren't sure, what is the opposite of momentum,

233
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: because that's what Green Bay's got writing a three game

234
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: losing streak, and green Bay, by the way, locked in

235
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: at the seven seed. They know they will either head

236
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: to Chicago or Philadelphia.

237
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: Antonyms of the word momentum include inertia.

238
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: Which I don't think is right.

239
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't fit, stillness, sluggishness, halt, or stagnation, I think

240
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: stagnation is probably of.

241
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: The words you just gave me.

242
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems closest, and that's still not the kind

243
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: of word I was thinking of in my head.

244
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, that feels like we're there.

245
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: Is static, sluggish, None of those feel negative enough for me.

246
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: I was looking for something a bit more negative. Well.

247
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 3: Inertia describes an object's resistance to change in motion or

248
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 3: lack of motion.

249
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: That's what I think, lack of motion. It's just you're

250
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting there, kind of like Micah Parsons today,

251
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: who showed an on Instagram post of him wearing the

252
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: surgical cap lying on the bed, like today's the day

253
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: he gets his ACL surgery. Just that's to me, just

254
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: a little another gut punch on a Monday, a Monday

255
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: after he lost weekend for US packer fans to see

256
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: Mica wearing the blue cap and the scrubs and getting

257
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: set to get his knee worke done. But let's get

258
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: it fixed. Let's get it done, Let's start the rehabilitation process,

259
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: and let's look ahead to twenty twenty six, which is

260
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: not what you want. As we get set to turn

261
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: the pages on a calendar year, on a Monday, the

262
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: final Monday of twenty twenty five. So I look forward

263
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: to chatting NFL and what we saw over the weekend,

264
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: what lies ahead, and who is what's the most likely

265
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl matchup in your mind? Who I've never in

266
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: my recent memory can think of a year where I

267
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: just have. You could tell me sixteen combinations right now

268
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: that could be the super Bowl matchup, and I would say, yeah,

269
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: I could see that, or yeah I could see that.

270
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking about him as I was driving in

271
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: Like if I asked myself right today, what's the super

272
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: Bowl matchup? As we sit heading into week eighteen, the

273
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: only team that came to my head was the La Rams.

274
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: I kind of feel strongest about the Rams. I think

275
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: that they could go anywhere. I feel like they have

276
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: less moles and less defects than all the other NFC contenders.

277
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: So I would ride the Rams, but in the and

278
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: the AFC, no clue.

279
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I maybe New England that would be the one team

280
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: for me. And again talking about moles and you know, imperfections,

281
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: they haven't beaten a bevy of contenders that they are

282
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: another team that have gotten healthy and fat on really

283
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: bad football teams and so I don't know how good

284
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: they are.

285
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: They might be just fantastic.

286
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: And what Drake Madye did yesterday, if he didn't win

287
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: the MVP yesterday, then Matthew Stafford's going to have to

288
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: make his statement tonight on Monday Night Football and claim

289
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: it back because he was like, wait, I wrote it down,

290
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: let me get the glasses on for a second and

291
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: final perfect. Hey we started three minutes early. I've been

292
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: titled to a little elevator music, I think so, so

293
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: that fits well. Drake may was nineteen for twenty one

294
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty six hards and five touchdowns,

295
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: all right, and then he just took the rest of

296
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: the day off because Wow, the Jets, what the Jets

297
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: have looked like the last four weeks is maybe the

298
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: worst NFL team I've ever seen. I've never seen a

299
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: more non competitive team to the New York Jets the

300
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: last four weeks. I don't know how Aaron Glenn saves

301
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: his job. I don't know how Pete Carroll saves his

302
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: job in Vegas. That there's going to be a lot

303
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: of interesting decisions. Whether one and done is the theme

304
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: maybe for some of these NFL coaches because this is

305
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: the day a week from now is the Black Monday

306
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: where probably well two coaches have already been fired. I'm

307
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: guessing another four or five likely will get their pink

308
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: slips a day a week from today, and maybe one

309
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: or two that had the job for one year. And

310
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the package did that once with

311
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: Ray Rhodes year. We made a mistake. We're moving on

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and not always the wrong thing to do. You know,

313
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: cut your losses, Yeah, swallow the millions and cut your

314
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: losses and don't deal with Well, pay him the guy,

315
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: and I may as well give him another chance. If

316
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: that Vegas is bringing in the number one pick and

317
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback, you don't want Pete Carroll anywhere near

318
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: that guy. You you want Look what Jacksonville's done with

319
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: their head coach with Trevor Lawrence. Look what Josh McDaniel

320
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: has done with Drake May in New England. You just

321
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: got to find a young offensive mind to mold whatever

322
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: quarterback you draft at number one, which is likely where

323
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders are going. All right, let's step away, senecon

324
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: in for common Blake Moore by my side. We're here

325
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: till three lots of NFL conversation between now and three

326
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: some Timberwolves at about one thirty. Otherwise we're wide open.

327
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: It's the program. What else would it be glad to

328
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: have you along for the ride. We're back after the

329
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting some heat on the brash on Brian Kfan

330
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: text line for talking down to my audience having to

331
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: explain what antonym means. I was just talking down to you.

332
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't assuming that the audience didn't know that I

333
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: picked up what you were putting down. I knew what

334
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: you were saying. I mean, I thought that was obvious,

335
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: but I'd like to clarify that I wasn't speaking to

336
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the audience. I want to ask you if you knew

337
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: what antonym meant, because that's not germane to the conversation.

338
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: I was just making sure didn't want to embarrass you

339
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: by asking you for the antonym of a momentum and

340
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: you have no idea what to do at that point.

341
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I was just trying to throw your bone a little bit.

342
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

343
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Also was told we missed a golden opportunity doing this

344
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: three hour show with nothing to talk about by not

345
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: extending the open music with a montage or something to

346
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: kill about ten minutes. We didn't. Really we could have

347
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: played no Derek Henry highlights that would have taken us

348
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: up until one o'clock product.

349
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 2: In retrospect, that might have been a way to go.

350
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes what I do fill in this time of year,

351
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: football season, h kings are in everybody's mind. But we

352
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: know what I like to talk about sometimes the iHeart

353
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: guccies like to bring in a bench coach to sit

354
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: by me, keep me on track, keep me disciplined, make

355
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: sure I do don't lose sight of like what side

356
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: of the bread is buttered.

357
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: So fortunately we.

358
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: Do have that bench coach on hand today on a

359
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: holiday week, he came in to help out. So he

360
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: did give me some pointers during the break fire.

361
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 5: I'm hire kime time time, all right, Sin, I can't

362
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: remember to have a count for packers talkers. Okay, letting

363
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 5: you go over three packers talkers today, so you just

364
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 5: choose one of them up, you got polaft, you got it,

365
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 5: got it? If you're all right after that one, all right,

366
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: let's go come.

367
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: On, then you can make two work for the rest

368
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: of the show. I'm not gonna lie. That does help me.

369
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: It tease me focused.

370
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: So I'm pleased to have him here, and hopefully I

371
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: won't he won't need to interject too often. It was again,

372
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: this doesn't count, but I talked about Michael Parsons surgery. Yeah,

373
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: so that was the first time, and that it is

374
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Border Battle week. So I do think there is some

375
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: latitude given here today. I think, especially you know, a

376
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: lot of the audience I'm sure hasn't heard you and

377
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: I are crocodile tears from what happens Saturday night if

378
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: they don't listen over the weekend. So we will at

379
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: some point dive into some of that what happened to

380
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: our favorite team as we move along, but just to

381
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: be safe, it's nice to have that dude around.

382
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: It sounds like, as we.

383
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Were talking right before the show started, I'm fairly lucky

384
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: that you got here by eleven fifty seven when the

385
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: show started, because yesterday we're doing the we're doing Sunday sermons,

386
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: and the snow is flying down. We're naming the snow

387
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: Nami yesterday in honor of Bump, and you're concerned about

388
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: just getting home in your rab's small car. It's a

389
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: small car load to the ground load to the ground.

390
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: The tires aren't necessarily brand new necessarily, and so the

391
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: snow is going to be a bit of an issue.

392
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: I was glad you posted via x the photo of

393
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: the blue hatchback or sedan or whatever we're calling it

394
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: parked underground in your fancy apartment building and you were

395
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: safely home.

396
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 3: So there is something satisfying just watching it instantly melt

397
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: right in front.

398
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: There's no question about it. What happened today today was

399
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: almost worse.

400
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: I thought like, yeah, I mean I left it like

401
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: eleven yesterday, so it was just at the start of

402
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 3: it and it was pretty bad. But today it was

403
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: like I could have skated here faster. I mean one

404
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 3: hundred I had to go to merge on to one

405
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: hundred north. There was a semi that was blocking the

406
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: entire thing. So you've got to just cars backed up.

407
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: And I know with my car with the probably yellow

408
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: grade tires, they're not bald, they're still good, but they're

409
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: not winter tires. If I stop and I can't get

410
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: started again, so I've got to go around to go

411
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: south and then around again, you know, around the clover

412
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 3: leaf to actually go and that's exit ramps are the

413
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: worst thing. Ever, but then the city roads like Richfield

414
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: ice Rink here in St. Louis Park ice rink. I'm

415
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: sliding around, you know, counter steering around roundabouts today. I'm sorry,

416
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: did the snow not I don't know anything about snow removal.

417
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how it works, but I feel like

418
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: in Minnesota it should.

419
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: We should be mostly done by now. I agree, do

420
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: you think? Yes?

421
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: And I had the same issue on a roundabout just

422
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: near the station here where I thought I was going

423
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: slowing up, but suddenly tires aren't holding and I'm sliding

424
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Wow, it's twenty four hours since

425
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: the snow has stopped for the most part. Shouldn't the

426
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: roads be a little more clear at this point? So

427
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: here's a true story from this morning. I didn't by

428
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't think I was gonna make it.

429
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: I was close. I got here, like fifty.

430
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm going on sixty two West and there's a semi

431
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: pulled over. I think there's a there as well, start

432
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: blocking the whole right lane, so you got to merge over.

433
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: I look in my rooview mirror and I see a

434
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: sedan sideways behind me, like fish tailing and swerving He's

435
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 3: about to go in this truck and I'm like, I'm

436
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: getting out of this guy's way. I move over and

437
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: he barely saves it the last second and like gives

438
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: me a wave. Godspeed. I mean, the roads are just

439
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: horrendous right now. They're not good. No, I hope I

440
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: make it the world, Junior said Greg, scene are well,

441
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: you are heading to Saint Paul.

442
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: That's that's right.

443
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: The game is at five. You'll hear it on the fan.

444
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: You're out of here at three when we're done a

445
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: year with ATC at four. Yep, that's gonna be dicey.

446
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna be dicey. He had an hour to get there,

447
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: get in your seats. Mm hmm, yeah, fifty to fifty

448
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: that you make it there by. I'm hoping to.

449
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Make it by puck drop.

450
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: I'd like to see the opening presentation, but I think

451
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: that might be a long shot.

452
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: It might be allowed to Well, we're glad you made it.

453
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

454
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be with you for these three hours,

455
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: our last chance to don these air waves until the

456
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: new year. I assume I'll join PA on Friday for

457
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: the Border Battle or whatever. Buffalo Wow Wings. He's broadcasting

458
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: from on Friday. It's not going to have the usual juice,

459
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: but it's a football game between our two teams they're

460
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: going to play on Sunday.

461
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm just glad it's at noon.

462
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Let's just get it over with and move on with

463
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: our lives. So looking back at what we saw in

464
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: week seventeen, particularly yesterday, it was a very entertaining, tending

465
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: game last night. Obviously they said it over and over again,

466
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing that we've never had a regular season

467
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: game that was tied at seven, fourteen, twenty one, twenty eight,

468
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: and thirty five.

469
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: That's remarkable.

470
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: And what Brock Purdy has done the last two weeks,

471
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns that he's accounted for in the last two weeks.

472
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember six weeks ago when people

473
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: were saying Matt Jones is better than Brock Purdy, like

474
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm losing anything, but not having Brock Purty out there,

475
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good last night. Without George Kettle. He

476
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: hasn't had Brandon Ayuk all season, have Christian McCaffrey, who

477
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: probably won a number of fantasy leagues last night. When

478
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: it comes down to again, there's a game tonight I

479
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: understand that, but when it comes down to that final

480
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: game or two and one of your studs goes off

481
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: like that, there's very few better feelings as a fantasy

482
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: football player than watching your guy just go off. And

483
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: whether you had Purty or McCaffery, you're probably feeling pretty

484
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: good about what you did last night, what they did

485
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: last night. That brings me to a question I wanted

486
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: to throw out there, because you watch what the Niners

487
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: have done, and I know it doesn't involve our team,

488
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: so I don't know how many of you care, but

489
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: it just struck me that you could make a really

490
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: good case for like five guys to be Coach of

491
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: the Year this year, and I don't know who's going

492
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: to get it. I don't know who should get it,

493
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think Shanahan should be in the conversation,

494
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: but he's on the It was a forty nine Ers coach,

495
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: and usually with all these great turnarounds we've seen we

496
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: talked about, I'm not sure he'll get it, but the

497
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: fact that he's played without his two best defensive players,

498
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: without his quarterback for half the season, his top receiver

499
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: missed the entire season. They traded Deebo Kittle's been hurt.

500
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they haven't had anything, and yet

501
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: they're a game away from being the number one seed.

502
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: So how is he not in the mix for Coach

503
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: of the Year. But then you got Ben Johnson, what

504
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: he's done in Chicago, right, going from worse to first

505
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: in the NFC North. You got Vrabel, who also could

506
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: have the number one seed in the AFC in his

507
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: first year as a coach. It's all these first year guys,

508
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: Liam Cone and Jacksonville took a four and thirteen operation,

509
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: made Trevor Lawrence look like a real quarterback, and they're

510
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: unlikely to get the one seed, but they're still in

511
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: play for the one seed with one week to go.

512
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: He's got to be in the mix. And even Seattle's

513
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: coach Mike McDonald that that team could be the one

514
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC with Sam Darreld and a really

515
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: good defense. So it's just wild that typically at this

516
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: point it seems like one or two guys that are

517
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: likely to be the Coach of the Year. All five

518
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: of those guys, to me, you could make a really

519
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: good case. And even I mean the dreaded, hated Sean

520
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: Payton I mean Denver could still be the number one seed.

521
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean, did they win, and I think New England

522
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: loses and Denver's the number one seed, so he'll get

523
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: votes too. It's just a I don't know, It's one

524
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: of those years. Like last year, Koc seemed like a

525
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: pretty obvious pick. I mean, dan Quinn with the Commanders, yeah,

526
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: was in the mix. But Koc, with what he did

527
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: with Darnold and what defense did, that seemed pretty obvious.

528
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Maybe there were three or four guys all fighting hard,

529
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: but this year it feels wide open.

530
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: Who'd you give your votes to if you had one?

531
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: Kind of like Vrabel, the fact that it's a huge turnaround,

532
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: just how well they've developed Drake May and we knew

533
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: that he could be good, and you know, obviously the

534
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: Vikings were hot after him, as we know, but the way,

535
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: just the level that he's been playing at for this year,

536
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 3: this early in his career, it's hard and to build

537
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: an offense around that.

538
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: It's hard to ignore.

539
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: For me.

540
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: When Tennessee fired Vrabel, there were a lot of football

541
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: folks that went, really, he's the problem. You think, do

542
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: you think that's the guy that deserved to lose his job.

543
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: He was always thought of as a really good coach,

544
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: great players coach, and you know he brought in the

545
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: right coordinator. I mean, Josh McDaniel feels like he's had

546
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: eighteen stints in New England and he's the It feels

547
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: like just the definition of vanilla. But man, when he's

548
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: done with Drake may and help that kid take that

549
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: leap in year two, I can't argue with that. I

550
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: would stay away from Shanahan just because of the they're

551
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: not that far removed from NFC title games, yeah, obviously,

552
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: but they've just been so banged up. But Rabel more

553
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: so than Ben Johnson, because again, I feel like a

554
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: lot of what the Bears have done, I mean, you

555
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: can't dispute it that they've been very fortunate late in

556
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: a lot of games that they are not fire removed

557
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: from a lot less wins. Rabel would probably get my

558
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: vote as well. But yeah, it's it's completely wide open.

559
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: You're getting trashed on the brush on Brett. I see

560
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: that KFA text line six' one two, guy, dude you

587
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: don't drive them in a taka, much but there's a

588
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: stretch on one on one where the lake is on

589
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: both sides of.

590
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: You between, You i'm not worthy Of. Minnetonka well do

Speaker 2: Minnetaka you just assume THAT i don't.

593
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 4: KNOW i.

594
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: Haven't but you're just saying that's not a road you

595
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: would typically pinkies up. Sentence you just said a little,

596
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: no it's not a pinky's up.

597
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Statement i'm thinking you probably would take four to ninety

598
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: four if you're driving. It not many people will take

599
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: one on one. Necessarily it's, lovely but there's a stretch

600
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: where you're on a very narrow road where the lake

601
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: is on both sides of. You And alice, SAID i

602
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: basically almost drove your carent to the lake last.

603
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: Night it was that. Slippery and it's not even windy,

604
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: really but, yeah it. Was it was that.

605
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Slippery so that made me, Know, yeah tires might be

606
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: SOMETHING i might want to look at as.

607
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: Well, YEA i will point OUT i made it here

608
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: without a. Scratch DID i have to counter? Steer probably

609
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: forty percent of the time to get, Here, yes but

610
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: we did make it without.

611
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: A, scratch so which is all that really.

612
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: Matters, YEAH i was, TOLD i was told in snow

613
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: and back and drive as if you don't have. Breaks

614
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: And i've lived by that AND i haven't gotten in a.

615
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: Collision knock on wood.

616
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: Somewhere that's one of those, great those great sayings that

617
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: just hold. True LIKE i remember WHEN i first started playing.

618
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: GOLF i think it Was who's the dude that? Was

619
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,400

739
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: Whole, EVALUATION yeah i just, you know it's it's one

740
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: of those THINGS where i think we're still, you know to,

741
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 4: YOU know i don't know the. Exact number i'm sure you,

742
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: guys do but it feels like he'd be coming up

743
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 4: on maybe his tenth start if he could. Make it

744
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: and still we're in that wildly significant time where any

745
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 4: and all reps and experience and, you know another home

746
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: GAME At Us, bank stadium like all those things. Are

747
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 4: important you look back at the Film, WITH max i

748
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: guess what stood out to you just about maybe how

749
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: he was seeing the field and just what you took

750
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: from the film. In, GENERAL yeah, i thought, YOU know

751
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: i thought he did a really nice job protecting. The football,

752
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: you know we were down some guys, up front and

753
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 4: they you know had, their uh, you know they had

754
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: their full, you know their full full group in the

755
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 4: front seven there for the better part of. That game

756
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: and and, you know there was some there were some

757
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 4: times where, you know could he have pulled? The trigger

758
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 4: there were some things maybe we could, have uh, you

759
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 4: know we could have throw here, and there we could

760
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: Have MADE but, i thought, You know max understanding the

761
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 4: way the game was going and having that kind of

762
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 4: veteran feel, of, Like hey i'm going to do what's

763
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 4: required to win. This GAME and i thought it was kind,

764
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 4: of uh, you know we we decided pretty early, on that,

765
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: you know seeing the way our defense was playing and

766
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 4: knowing that we kind of went into it hoping that

767
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 4: special teams could book that phase as, a WIN which

768
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 4: i thought. They did, you know we wanted to make

769
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: sure we were playing complimentary football and if the plays

770
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 4: came to, us great but we weren't going to force

771
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 4: a lot of things and and do what was required

772
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 4: to win. That game, and it, you know it doesn't

773
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: always look the way you want in any way shape

774
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 4: or for him on the. Stat sheet but we've, you

775
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: know we've had plenty of games this year where maybe

776
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: the stat sheet ended up. Looking better but what was, the, win,

777
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 4: Loss final and and THAT'S where i was proud of

778
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 4: the way he managed. The GAME and i thought that last,

779
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 4: you know a lot of teams maybe wouldn't have thrown

780
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: the ball late on that four minute drive where we're

781
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 4: trying to eat up some clock and try to not

782
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 4: give them any and. All opportunities and he made a

783
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: great throw to justin, you know made a really nice

784
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: contested catch there to to move the chains one more

785
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 4: time and start forcing them to use their timeouts and

786
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 4: and Really diminish that play kind of was a game

787
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 4: winning play on a day where we didn't need a

788
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 4: whole lot of them in the. Past game but for

789
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: him to make that play in, THE moment i thought

790
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 4: that was, a big big time Play by max in Terms.

791
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: Of packers but if you are if you have watched,

792
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: them all what have you thought or what do you

793
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: Think of milik will be able?

794
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: To, Do Yeah i've i've most of my time has

795
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 4: been has been spent on. Their DEFENSE but i did

796
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 4: watch the game the Other night saturday, with uh, you

797
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: know with uh, you, know, obviously no we're playing those

798
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 4: guys in a little bit bigger picture mindset than just,

799
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 4: you know studying. The TAPE but I think malik. Is

800
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 4: listen every every opportunity he's gone, out there he's done really.

801
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 4: POSITIVE things, i mean he made, some high high. Level

802
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: throws his athleticism has always, been real and, you know

803
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: you can see a player that has not only, gained

804
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: confidence but the game makes sense. To him, you know

805
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 4: he's seeing stuff and pulling and turning, it loose pulling

806
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: the trigger thrown into some, tight windows, and uh, you

807
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 4: know pushing the ball down. Field TOO so, i, think uh,

808
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: You know malik has grown a ton in his time in,

809
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: the LEAGUE and i think he's a really good fit

810
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: for for what they're asking him to do. Right now

811
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 4: and you've got to you've got to have a mindset

812
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 4: if he's if he's the guy that ends up being

813
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: out there that we're defending a high level offense with

814
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 4: him running.

815
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,279

861
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: december wins are SOMETHING that. I know a couple of,

862
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 4: YEARS ago i talked a, lot about, you know finding

863
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: a way to play Better in december and for back to.

864
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 4: Back years now we really HAVE and i think that's

865
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 4: something we can keep stacking. Moving forward but, you know

866
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 4: we we set out on this this journey when we were,

867
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 4: you know the it was in some pretty pretty, dark times.

868
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: You know a few weeks BACK and i laid out

869
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: the challenge to. OUR team i laid out the challenge

870
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 4: to our coaching staff to to navigate this the. Right

871
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 4: way and we're all going to learn a lot from

872
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 4: it when. We do and and my belief is, we

873
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 4: would and and to, their credit they've they've they've answered

874
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: the challenge and we found a way to, you know

875
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: stack some wins together for a team that had not

876
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: went one back to back games to have won four in,

877
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 4: a row and do it, different ways, do it, you

878
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: know with really whatever it takes to win each. INDIVIDUAL

879
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 4: game i think we've learned a lot. ABOUT that i

880
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 4: think we've learned a lot about, you know the makeup of.

881
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 4: Our organization and now we got to make sure we

882
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: go do it again this week and against the team

883
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 4: that's gonna be in the playoffs and a Team that

884
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: i'm sure will be competing like crazy to go into

885
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 4: go into the playoffs with. A win we want to

886
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 4: go into our off season not only with, a win

887
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: but having won five in a row and getting from

888
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 4: four and eight to nine and eight would be would

889
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 4: be something that you know We can it's not going

890
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 4: to count for Much, in january that's, for sure but

891
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 4: it's gonna matter moving forward in. My. Opinion unflow obviously

892
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 4: the head coach situation was an entire one part, Of it,

893
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 4: but like do you anticipate in any scenario where he's

894
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 4: somebody else's defensive coordinator that based upon my dialogue with

895
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 4: him and obviously the enthusiasm and the and the want

896
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: too for us to get. SOMETHING done. I DON'T but i,

897
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: also know, you know we're we're inside of days before our,

898
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 4: season ends and, he's, obviously uh, YOU know i know

899
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 4: he enjoys. BEING here i, know HIM and i do

900
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 4: you know just from our recent dialogue that he feels

901
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 4: very similar about ME that I that i do, with

902
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 4: him AND and I know i'm excited about the when,

903
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 4: we can, you KNOW hopefully i can come to this

904
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 4: podium and say he's going to be here for as

905
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: long as we can keep him here before another team

906
00:42:54,520 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 4: makes him their. Head, coach thanks.

907
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: Thank you viking's Head coach kevin O'Connell several days Following

908
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: The christmas day win Over. THE lions i had no

909
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: idea that was. Coming today we would have obviously grabbed

910
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: that at the. VERY top i think we just missed

911
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 1: a question or Two because, nord's.

912
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: Here just like his. Opening, STATEMENT yeah i.

913
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Think that's what, we DID and I know nordo, has

914
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: it so maybe we'll ask him in the during the

915
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: break if we missed anything substantial that he. Opened WITH

916
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: but i think we got we got THE main i

917
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: think questions that we thought we would get, About McCarthy

918
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: flores and what this last game means To, the Vikings

919
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: and i'd love to play off some of that.

920
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 3: Go ahead but basically the biggest thing we missed in

921
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 3: the opening statement IS that jj, is McCarthy that is,

922
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 3: is progressing and the swelling has come down a, little

923
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: bit still leaving open the possibility he could Play Against.

924
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 2: Green bay that's what that was the big talker in the. Opening,

925
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: sting YEAH and i think we heard some.

926
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: Of that, you know it's really important to coach O'Connell

927
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: TO get aj one, more day it, sounds like or one.

928
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: More game it sounds like the grip strength is the

929
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: last main hurdle to make sure he's got enough strength

930
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: in that hand To gott grip strength is, a key

931
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: key thing to be able.

932
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: To have.

933
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: FOR sure i think it was Cagey of kevin O'Connell

934
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: to basically throw out the idea that there could be

935
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: any of one of Four, quarterbacks sunday Good Luck green

936
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: bay preparing. For, us yeah it COULD, be jj but

937
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: it Could. Be max, Then Again john wolford has been

938
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,960

Speaker 1: and then, you know We brought brett. Ripping BACK h,

940
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: i mean what are the What Is jeff hafley to do?

941
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: THIS week, i mean how are you supposed to scout

942
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: and Plan for brozemur and then you get?

943
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: BROUGHT ripping i mean that's the.

944
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 1: Ultimate nightmare, you know you think you're Gonna see max

945
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: and Here Comes john wolford out of.

946
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 2: The gate what do?

947
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: You do you?

948
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: Start, over well here's.

949
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: The kicker it doesn't really matter at all because all

950
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 3: the vikings to do just run the ball Down the

951
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 3: packers Throat like. Baltimore did it's not gonna, matter anyways.

952
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: SO correct, i, MEAN basically i don't think JJ's grip

953
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: strength is going to matter as long as he can

954
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: get the ball snap to him and he can, hand

955
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: off not just hand. It away just, do that, and

956
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: basically don't don't, be, clever like don't, try to, you

957
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: know run to the sidelines and then go why just

958
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: just go run between the tackles and just we know

959
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: our offensive line is not playing at the level we thought,

960
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: it would but Against this, packer front, you know.

961
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: Basically just they're just going to lay down. For you at.

962
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: This point i'd love to think that we'll see That

963
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: The green bay defense we Saw in Denver and chicago

964
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: for most of, those games even though, they lost at

965
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: least they had some fight. To them so he did

966
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: talk about the, quarterback POSITION and i thought it was

967
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: kind of interesting that.

968
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 2: They do feel it's important TO get jj one.

969
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: More start and we talked about five weeks ago the

970
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: season's lost at four, and eight BUT giving jj McCarthy

971
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: five more starts is really important to see the growth

972
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: and give it more experience than the latest injury obviously

973
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: knocks all. That OUT so i can understand why in

974
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: a what is a, meaningless game and as far as the,

975
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: postseason GOES giving jj one more start would be the

976
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: ultimate for what the coaching staff would like.

977
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: To see then it Was To.

978
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Brian flores you know that's that's correct Me if I'm wrong,

979
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: vikings fans? ISN'T that I understand jj McCarthy's, you know

980
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: growth is, number one but we know he's. Coming back

981
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: what we don't know is who is he going to?

982
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: Compete against to what degree Do the vikings decide to

983
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: bring in quote unquote, legitimate competition meaning a proven guy versus,

984
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: you know a young guy that also has shown, some

985
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: potential or a journeyman that like A back jones that

986
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: you trade a pick for to bring in a guy

987
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: that you know can handle it if McCarthy's injured and

988
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: could be a nice mentor so we don't. Know that

989
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: and obviously the quarterback situation's, number one but right below

990
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: That Is brian, flora's, FUTURE right, i Mean losing floras

991
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: would be DISASTROUS and i don't. You know i've gotten

992
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: a couple of texts that have come, in saying, You

993
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: know chicago should open up the. Bank account dallas should

994
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: open up the bank account and Bring In brian flores

995
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: to run.

996
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: THEIR defense.

997
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't Know that chicago feels like after one Year

998
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: Of dennis allen that they're going to. MOVE on i

999
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: think the defense needs to. BE better i talked about.

1000
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: It earlier they've given up forty points three times and

1001
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: it was very Easy For san francisco. Last Week Funny

1002
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: green bay was one for five in the red zone

1003
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: against that defense two, Weeks ago so maybe they're not.

1004
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: That TERRIBLE but i don't Know that chicago would. Do

1005
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: It Maybe jerry jones opens up the. BANK account i

1006
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: don't Know if Schottenheimer and flores have a good vibe,

1007
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: or not but it WOULD take i would Think For

1008
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: brian flores to go as FROM one dc. To another

1009
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: the only way he does, it is, you, know well

1010
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: this is not the, first reason but comes to my

1011
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: mind first if the money is, just insane like if

1012
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: somebody is willing to pay him almost head coaching money

1013
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: to be to go, Out laterally but it's whether he

1014
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: goes to a team that has a serious, quarterback situation

1015
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: they're not.

1016
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 2: Concerned about you Know that dak And.

1017
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: The cowboys he knows the offense is going to, be

1018
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: fine whereas here does it matter to him that there's

1019
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: still so much question on offense that he would consider

1020
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: taking a lateral job to an offense that he knows

1021
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: is Maybe super. Bowl worthy it's his job to turn a.

1022
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 3: DEFENSE around i feel like it's he's not going to

1023
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: go anywhere unless if he's, the guy if he's the.

1024
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: HEAD coach I just i don't have no evidence, behind

1025
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 3: THAT but i feel like that we've seen that that's

1026
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 3: something he wants. To do and if a team comes

1027
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 3: calling that he could potentially take over and be the.

1028
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 3: HEAD coach i think he could. Consider that maybe he

1029
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 3: Would Copyright, corey COVE but i don't think he would

1030
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 3: leave FOR another.

1031
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: Dc job that's just.

1032
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: MY hunch i.

1033
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: Don't know do you very well could.

1034
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: Be right and if a team like Let's, say buffalo you,

1035
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: Know Who, BOBBY babbage i don't know how. They help

1036
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: McDermott feels, about him but the defense is, not great

1037
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,479
Speaker 1: they've been, banged up but he's if He's Got josh

1038
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: allen on the other side of the ball And a

1039
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: buffalo team that he could just take that defense and run.

1040
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 2: With it maybe.

1041
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: That's appealing it's just so interesting because We Had Kevin

1042
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Seaffer don. Sermons yesterday. That's podcastable by, The way seaford

1043
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: continues to believe it's going to be really hard for

1044
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: him to get a head coaching job, right now and

1045
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: again that's mostly because he's currently suing a number of

1046
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: teams IN, the nfl and when you've got, ongoing litigation

1047
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: fellow owners might decide that's not a guy we want

1048
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: to bring into. Our house but also we know how

1049
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: the Relationship with. Tua went we know he has said

1050
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: he regrets how that. Got handled on. His end tua

1051
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: was very frontal about how he was not happy With

1052
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: How brian flores treated him and maybe slowed his progress in.

1053
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: His mind so maybe some teams are a little jumpy

1054
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: still about the strong personality and how he would deal

1055
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of. The ball there's no question

1056
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: he's a top two, or three if not the best

1057
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, in football and what he's done with this

1058
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: team to maybe have a nine to eight record with

1059
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: that offense and the issues they've had a quarterback. Is

1060
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: remarkable he absolutely is worthy of being a. Head coach

1061
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: but it's a, really weird, say situation in that other

1062
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: teams just may not be interested in bringing him around

1063
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: to take over. Their organization so if You're a viking

1064
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: fan that wants To keep, flores around, you, know selfishly

1065
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: you kind of love the fact that he may have

1066
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: cost himself, a chance at least in the. Short run

1067
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: if that's what, he wants he might be. Thrilled here

1068
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: he might just say give me another three four year

1069
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: deal and let me ride with. This TEAM and i BELIEVE,

1070
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: in KOC and i BELIEVE, in JJ and i know

1071
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: we're going to get this thing. Worked out so we're

1072
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: we have no idea obviously what's going on between, his

1073
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: ears but that seems to Be once viking fans know

1074
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: a new deals in place and he's going to, BE

1075
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: here i think a big ex sale from a Lot

1076
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: of viking fans, for sure. And quickly the final thing

1077
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: That that kevin O'Connell talked about was just the importance

1078
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: for him to close out with a Win.

1079
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: On sunday, you know we don't think it's going to

1080
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: mean Anything To.

1081
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,440
