19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: I'm just fed up with these local teams and the

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: lack of effort, the mismanagement, the losing.

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 5: Just tired of all of it. They're all the same bucket.

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 5: Let's this Minnesota sports.

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: Let's push.

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: Let's push a cuarterback that should be in traction. Let's

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: playhim again because he gives us the best chance to win.

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: The one guy's got he's got an ankle spraining. The

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: other guy's got a he's got a torn labrum, a

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: fractured shoulder socket, and a separated shoulder.

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: And we're having him go out there getting sacked over

30
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 4: and over and over again.

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: And we got a coach with the local football team

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: that says, yeah, we lost forty one to three, but

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: we still have a really good football team and.

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Really good today.

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: Yes, after the game, I told the guys in locker,

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: we're still a really good program and a really good

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: football team.

38
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: That was.

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: That was on national television. You know, expectations of seeing

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 5: and we can talk about all this stuff.

41
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: We will.

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: Iowa would have been happy winning three nothing.

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: They would have I mean that's normal normally. That that

44
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: was the.

45
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: Eye with football offense for for quite a while, you know.

46
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: And they're a good football team. They have a good

47
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 5: offensive line they have, but they're not a Ohio State.

48
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: And the golfers put up a better fight against Ohio State.

49
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 5: That was on national television. Just an incomplete embarrassment. I mean,

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 5: you're supposed to. We've talked about it before the season,

51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 5: Say forget about Ohio State, forget about Oregon. You know,

52
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 5: they were not in the same league as those teams

53
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: and those programs probably never will be. But this team

54
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 5: has got to find a way of Now they beat Nebraska,

55
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 5: but you come back out of that nice win here

56
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: on that Friday night with the expectations, and granted they

57
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 5: were at eight point underdogs. Ioway was a favorite playing

58
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: at home, which you expect a competitive game, and the

59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: fact that they didn't have one competitive drive on offense

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: or defense really speaks volumes. That was a holding up

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: a mirror to your program. That's what that game did

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 5: on national television. I mean, to lose like that, it's

63
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: one thing to you know, put some points up on

64
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: the board, make it interesting. I think that, you know,

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: the CBS certainly expected to be a competitive game, and

66
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: if they're could have in a way of just switching

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 5: to another game that they had to carry it the

68
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 5: whole thing. Yeah, that was one to walk away from.

69
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: I was stunned how one side of that game was.

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: But I did is what it is.

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: I was the one thing there was a silver lining there.

72
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: I was able to do some fall cleaning from my

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: art seriously, because I was going to watch the whole game.

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: I watched Nebraska earlier with deuce.

75
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: That was the eleven o'clock and they beat Northwestern, you know,

76
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: not a great game, a competitive game, and went down

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: to the wire. And then they started watching the golfers

78
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: and it was so quick. I took the first drive,

79
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: drove down the field and scored. Then the golphers did nothing.

80
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: Then they kicked a field. Well, then we had an

81
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: interception return for a touchdown, a punt return for a touchdown.

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 5: It was Darius Taylor was out before you knew it.

83
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: I mean, everything that could have gone wrong. That was

84
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 5: not the reason they got throttled. But like I said,

85
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: that's where you hold up a mirror to your program

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: and you have to recover and say, oh okay, we

87
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: got to find a way of beating Michigan State. Now

88
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 5: a bad Michigan State team anyway, Yeah, I mean that's uh.

89
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 5: And I think they lost some recruits in the process.

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: Some guys, Now, was that a coincidence or were the

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: the committing I saw like three different players that.

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: Is it three now, because I saw one for surely

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: following the game.

94
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

95
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, like that's an EBB and flow

96
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: type of situation. Anyway, Well, especially with Neil money. You know,

97
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 5: one of those guys may have changed the reason, real reason.

98
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: He some cool school might have said, we'll give you

99
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to come play

100
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: for us.

101
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm in you.

102
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 5: Know I've heard stories like that already. Oh sure schools

103
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 5: he here. Well, we said some of our local basketball

104
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: kids like, uh, they kid from Crete recently. You know,

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 5: Jiggy traw we played for Michigan State. Why can't I

106
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: think of his name?

107
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can't think of who you're talking about. Yeah,

108
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: I know you're talking about that at the end.

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he was there last year. Why can't I

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: think of his name? Uh?

111
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: Still in Michigan State. I remember you're talking. He left.

112
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: He he's he's going elsewhere and he's getting paid like

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: a million dollars or something, or a half million dollars

114
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: or something like that to change.

115
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Trey Holland, Treelman, Trey Holloman, Trey Hollman left.

116
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: At NC State. NC State paid them a whole bunch

117
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 4: of money.

118
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: And you know he had that in that In that

119
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: final NCAA tournament game, he didn't play very well.

120
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: He went like, go for eleven but he'd been very

121
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: good for him. He's a good player.

122
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: All the kid from that we had here from Cottage Grove.

123
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: Why can't I think his name? He left?

124
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: He's on his third school now he went to. I

125
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: think he's with Maryland now, same thing. They offered him

126
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand dollars. So a lot of these guys

127
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: are leaving, not because they're on they don't like the

128
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: team they're currently playing with. It's just money talks and

129
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: they're being offered more money to go to other places.

130
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: And so there has to be a break for l Pain.

131
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there has to be a breaking point at some

132
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 5: point where you know there's going to be an even

133
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 5: evening in the playing field, so to speak. And but

134
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: it's it's you know, college sports for the most part,

135
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: the major sports are professional now and that's that's what

136
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: they've been trying to avoid. But you know, I always think, well,

137
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: in education's worth this, and you got a free scholarship

138
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: and you get a free, free education, that's worth a

139
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: lot of money if, as anybody knows, just paid you know,

140
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: paid fees to go to have your kids go to

141
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: college a lot of money, especially now more than ever.

142
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 5: And that's that's worth its weight in gold, supposedly, but

143
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: not anymore, not for the major sports.

144
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: It isn't And I don't know what you know.

145
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 5: I know they're getting flat fees and all the colleges

146
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 5: are getting all this other money.

147
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: But man, it's tough. Well rich, get.

148
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Rich, and then you know the the To me, I'm

149
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: not a big fan of December sixteenth ball games, but

150
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: a lot of teams hang their hats on.

151
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: There's like forty Bowl games. I means, eighty team's got

152
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: to play.

153
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: So one of the things that Fleck likes to talk about,

154
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: you know, nine straight ball games for as well. Almost

155
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: everybody gets a ball game and all you have to

156
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: do is win. See, you can be six and six

157
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: to five ondred team and play another six and six.

158
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: Or having an academic rating that's good enough to yeah, five,

159
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 5: that's exactly right.

160
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: And it's like and.

161
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know, maybe really hard core

162
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: goal for fans love that extra Bowl game. They travel

163
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: and they go and they have fun and they go

164
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: to Memphis or some city somewhere and evan drugs. But

165
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: I think just the average fan just goes what and

166
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: the game's played a month after the regular season ends,

167
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: they get like an extra ten, twelve, whatever.

168
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: It just does nothing, whatever blueprint. Indiana has done well

169
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: the last couple of years. And this is the they

170
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: are the outliers from watching as we've watched Big ten

171
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 5: football for many years. When you know mentioning the powerhouse teams,

172
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: the blue bloods, the Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State now

173
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: being involved with it, in Oregon involved with it, and

174
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: you know those are the same school. With Michigan, they're

175
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 5: down compared to what they've been, right, but now it's

176
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: a basketball school that has notoriously been really average at

177
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: best in football for a long time. They've had some

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: great players, but not great teams. And all of a

179
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 5: sudden they are competing for a national championship.

180
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: When need you get us the mark? But didn't, Yeah,

181
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: you're right, didn't. They wasn't Indiana in sixty seven? They

182
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: So there's another you know, if you're trying to make

183
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: comparisons with teams, and now, like you say, the golfers

184
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: have been there, yes, correct, And now Indiana is the

185
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: number two ranked team in the country and some people think.

186
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: They're the best.

187
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: And I think you know, I you know, I I'm

188
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: not the biggest college football fan in the world, and

189
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: I've talked about it for many years. Part of the

190
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: reason why was because we never have a really good

191
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: college football team here, so it's hard for me to

192
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: just get excited about other teams from you know, I

193
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: just can't get that excited about watching Texas play Clemson.

194
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. It's okay once in.

195
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: A while, you know, it's it's a it's a it's

196
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: a you know now that Deuce went to Nebraska and

197
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: Pizza at Ohio State in the Ohio State, I'll watch

198
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: them of those games, and I still like I do

199
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: like occasionally watching the golfers TV for yeah, team Well

200
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: in Indiana against Ohio State. My guess is that they're

201
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: on a collision course to play for the Big Ten championship.

202
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: That should just be a spectacle. It has all the

203
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: makings for we don't know, it couldn't been.

204
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: Watched in the playoff, yes, and you know, it's just

205
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: two years in a row.

206
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 5: They signed their coach to an extension, and you know,

207
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 5: whatever they're doing with nil money, et cetera, et cetera

208
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 5: for a team that's never had much success at all.

209
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: In football, it's always been, you know, going back to

210
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: Bob Knight and what he's done with the Indiana Hoosiers

211
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: and the national championships and always being you know, ultra competitive.

212
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: In basketball, it's a basketball state, not a football state.

213
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 5: And now all of a sudden, look at them. Now

214
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: look at them.

215
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: Now, Vikings lose again.

216
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: They're now three and four. Packers win their five to

217
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: one and one Detroit's five and two. The Vikings are

218
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: in desperate straits offensive line not getting any healthier. Wentz

219
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: out for the season now with a season and shoulder surgery.

220
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: Should be McCarthy. They're playing in Detroit. We'll talk about that.

221
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: So the Wolves, they they lose to Denver last night

222
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: and out for well.

223
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: You don't know for sure.

224
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: Originally they said it was going to be two weeks

225
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: and it was, well, maybe a week, and now I

226
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: don't know if it's day to day. I don't know

227
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: what the latest is on that. But well we'll talk

228
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: about the Wolves as well. Uh here on the Common

Speaker 3: I'm com and he's tending me the legendary Mark Rose

243
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: and here as well Rilla in Manila, Joe Fraser against

244
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Muhammad Ali. That was back when they fought fifteen rounders

245
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: and between the fourteenth and fifteenth round, Eddie Futch, Joe

246
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: Fraser's handler, threw in the towel, said I can't let

247
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: you go back out there.

248
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: Joe. Joe wanted to go back out.

249
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: I bring it up because Carson Wentz played with a

250
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: fractured shoulder socket torn labrahm in a separated shoulder. He

251
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: was wearing an apparatus he said he'd never worn before.

252
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: He said he'd never played through such pain. But I

253
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: thought I could, I could go and help us win

254
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: the game. A lot of other people are Is it

255
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: just me and some listeners that think this was a

256
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 3: little strange continuing to let this to Wentz play when

257
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: he was is No, he was in that. I mean

258
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: he's having shoulder season and his shoulder shurger, he had

259
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: a torn labor m and that the.

260
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: Doctors were aware of. Yeah, obviously for since the London game. No,

261
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: not at all. I think there's it's it's it's there's

262
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: not an easy answer to it. I mean, in terms

263
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 5: of coach player relationship, the doctor's getting involved with it,

264
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: saying you can't, you know, do further damage when you're

265
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: out there, et cetera, et cetera. But I had tweeted

266
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: kind of the same thing. I said, look at I've

267
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: seen boxing matches where guys stop, they've stopped the fight

268
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: with a lot less pain and anguish. All you had

269
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: to do is look at his face and the beating

270
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: he was taking that night.

271
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: You know.

272
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 5: My My point is when the time when you koc

273
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: this right, I find find his answer is troublesome the

274
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: time that because you can say, well, Carson's a tough

275
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: guy and wants to play, wants to play, and the

276
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 5: doctors said he can't injure himself any further by going

277
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: out there. Boy, he couldn't convince me of that. It's

278
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 5: like taking a sledgehammer and you know, beating it against

279
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 5: your left shoulder. My point is when that she and

280
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 5: the Chiefs, when the Chargers had that game comfortably in

281
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 5: hand and they're up by three, three scores, and and

282
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: at that point it's garbage time. Get him out of there,

283
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 5: put Brozmer in. You don't have to have him try

284
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 5: to come back and win the game. You basically just

285
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 5: throw five yard outs to your running backs or to

286
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: Jefferson or whatever, and just you know, try to stay

287
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 5: out of harm's way. And he's smart enough to be

288
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 5: able to do that, and skip Wentz out of there.

289
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: I mean, it's enough. It's it's like watching a pitcher,

290
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 5: you know, getting shelled and you're going, why don't they

291
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: just take him out? Well, no, we're going to leave

292
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 5: him in there, because you know he's got to work

293
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: work his way through it. I'm not it's not even

294
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: not an apt comparison. But the point is, I just

295
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: when I'm watching that game and thinking, just get Max

296
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: some reps in there, and you don't have to worry about

297
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 5: him getting hurt. You don't have to worry he's not

298
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: throwing fifty yard bombs. The game is completely out of reach.

299
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: Just you know, run the offense for a couple of

300
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: series and get the game over with and then you

301
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: just get Carson out of there. That It's a simple

302
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 5: to me. It was a simple solution, and he took

303
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 5: the other road. He just let until obviously the very end,

304
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: very very in to have Carson continue to take that

305
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 5: beating out there. And you know, it's obviously he knew

306
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: he was going to have to have surgery. I don't remember,

307
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: maybe ten of you do. I was wentz listed on

308
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: the injury list before that. They certainly didn't disclose he

309
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 5: had a torn labrum.

310
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: He was yes, he was limited or he was like questionable. Yes,

311
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was we knew he was going to start,

312
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: but they didn't really disclose.

313
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: What was going on.

314
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, so well here's and here common we can

315
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: go on and on about this. Here's here's the problem

316
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: I have with the Vikings right now. More than anything else,

317
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 5: I think it's being I'm saying disguise or not talked

318
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: about as much because of the quarterback situation. When the

319
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: Vikings actually did score and went to a touchdown pass,

320
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: was it to Addison to make a twenty four to ten?

321
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: And I'm watching a game like everybody else, and I'm saying, okay, now, now,

322
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: now it's time for this defense to step up. They're

323
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: still in the game. We've seen it time and time again.

324
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 5: In the end stop, get a stop, get a three

325
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: and out. You've got to be going up there. You've

326
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: got to be fired up a little bit more. The

327
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 5: Chargers probably will play it pretty close to the vest

328
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: because they feel they have the game in control. And

329
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: then even though you kind of really don't get what happens,

330
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 5: the Chargers get the ball and go right down the field,

331
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: and I went this defense is atrocious.

332
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: And that goes.

333
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: Back to me to the Atlanta game when obviously Robinson's

334
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: a terrific running back, but Atlanta ran the ball out.

335
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: The Steelers ran the ball at him. The teams that

336
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: are just doing the basic fundamentals of beating this defense

337
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: and time and time again, to me is the overriding

338
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: story and what the Lions potentially are going to do

339
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: on Sunday with that one two punch in the backfield

340
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: forgetting what Jared Goff can do through the air. But

341
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're Dan Campbell right now and you're

342
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: looking at that tape and you're going, I got Gibbson

343
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: Montgomery pack of lunch, We're coming at your time and

344
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 5: time and time again, stop us good luck with that.

345
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: That to me is a bigger issue than what's going

346
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: on with the quarterback situation, because if the defense was

347
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 5: playing up to his potential or what they thought it

348
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 5: was going to be with hard Grave.

349
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: And Allen and and and.

350
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: The only guy that he's more of a pastor, he's

351
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: not one call him a run stock. He could certainly tackle,

352
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: makes a player.

353
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: But they're only missing one guy, and it's there isn't

354
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: a There isn't a defensive unit in the league right

355
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: now that's not missing at least one defensive guy.

356
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: This is who they are, and this is who they've

357
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: shown us they are time and time again. And it

358
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: was you know, they did a good job day. The

359
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: Vikings did a good job of holding down Saquon Barkley,

360
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: but then their past defense was giving up you know,

361
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: the big chunk plays against him. So It's been one

362
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: thing or another with this defense pretty much all season long.

363
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: And that's the biggest fear going to me going forwards. Well,

364
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: Jaj McCarthy's gonna have to, you know, go through the

365
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: trials and tribulations of learning on the learning on the

366
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 5: job right now and figuring things out, and people are

367
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 5: going to judge him whatever it might be. I don't

368
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 5: I really don't think it's gonna matter much. I don't

369
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 5: know what's going on in that defensive room. If Brian

370
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: Flores has kind of lost touch with what they wanted

371
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: to be doing, if they just aren't that good, if

372
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 5: hard Grave and Allen have been busted kind of in

373
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 5: terms of stopping the run and doing the things they

374
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 5: have to do.

375
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: They don't sack the sacks between the two of them,

376
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 3: I thinks.

377
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 5: I mean, they paid how much money they pay for

378
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: these guys this offseason and the secondary is not as

379
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 5: good I.

380
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 3: Think with the offensive and defensive lineman. Is this number

381
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: right or my way off? I mean total money I

382
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: think is like three hundred million dollars.

383
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 5: They spent a ton and that to me and I

384
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 5: go back to the Charger game, that they would have

385
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: not that the Fightings would have come back and won.

386
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 5: But that's where the defense has to go. Okay, guys,

387
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: the offense did their job. It's up to us now

388
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 5: to go in there and stop it. So the Chargers

389
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 5: are playing it, like I said, pretty close to the vest,

390
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 5: and they just ran the ball. I don't remember who

391
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: they were down to their fourth run, third or fourth

392
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: running back that night, Salidani and Tomlinson running through the line,

393
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 5: or Barry Sanders in his prime. They couldn't stop him.

394
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: And that's I'm going, Okay, I don't know. I don't

395
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 5: know how you fixed that in practice. I just I

396
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: don't think you can, because we've seen a long enough

397
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 5: sample size of what they're not doing defensively, both against

398
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: the run and in critical passing situations. Going back to

399
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 5: the DK Metcalf touched on in Dublin where Aaron Rodgers

400
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 5: threw that ball, beautiful ball, and Mettgeff took off and

401
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 5: ran away from the secondary. Anyway, well, and then we

402
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 5: can discuss the quarterback situation. I'm just saying.

403
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 3: That on the other side of the ball, we have

404
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: an offense that has not been producing, and much of

405
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: that is because the offensive line. Darris saw has been

406
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: on a pitch count, and then he didn't play of

407
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: much of the game against the chu Argers.

408
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: O'Neil didn't play at all. O'Neill again, he was out

409
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: for game. He came back.

410
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: He played two games ago, he played the entire game

411
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 3: was against Philadelphia, and then he didn't play at all

412
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: against the Chargers.

413
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 4: Now McCarthy's back.

414
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: He had the bad ankle. He's out for five weeks.

415
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: Apparently he should be one hundred percent. But if you'll remember,

416
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: during his time away, the coach also talked about well

417
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: Connell also talked about trying to just get some of

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: the fundamentals again, getting his eyes and his feet aligned

419
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: in this and the other thing. So that's why a

420
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: lot of us have sort of thought maybe this is

421
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: more than just injury. He because he did not play.

422
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: He had the great fourth quarter against the Bears in

423
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: game number one. The first three quarters were not good.

424
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 3: He wasn't good at all against Atlanta. And I'm wondering

425
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: how much is going to change here, especially with an

426
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: offensive If again, if O'Neal and Daris aren't in around

427
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, it could be another long day.

428
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: Well, yes, I will say this about JJ McCarthy. It's

429
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 5: it's really difficult in this day and age where we

430
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 5: literally live week to week with especially the quarterback situation

431
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 5: on any given team, and when you got a young

432
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: quarterback who missed all of last year, and I just

433
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 5: I'm not falling back on it all the time, but

434
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 5: it is a it is a critical element when you

435
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: compare him with the other rookie quarterbacks who played last

436
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 5: year and had their ups and downs. For the most part,

437
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: other than Jade Daniels, this is going to be a

438
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 5: work in progress no matter how you look at it,

439
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 5: and it's not going to be solved this week or

440
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 5: this season.

441
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: Probably if J. J.

442
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 5: McCarthy, well, next year, whatever it might be, doesn't end

443
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 5: up being a very good quarterback, well then and Quis

444
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: in particular, maybe the head coach looking in the mirror,

445
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 5: going well, we don't know how to analyze talent and

446
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: that's yet to be determined. And that's that's that's the

447
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 5: thing that you just don't know and it's not going

448
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: to be answered.

449
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,200

Speaker 3: be out two weeks, which would be about eight games,

468
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: because during the next two week.

469
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: Period at eight game schedules.

470
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: Then I think that changed to maybe a week, and

471
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: now I think might even be day to day.

472
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: Do you know exactly what they're saying?

473
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 5: I saw, you know, he was wearing his slippers like

474
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 5: you're wearing getting ready to go to bed at the

475
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 5: courtside last night. I know, no idea. It's to me

476
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: And I talked to Johnny Athletic yesterday about it. Ding

477
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 5: All summer we heard how Ant was working on his

478
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 5: new things for his game, mid range jumper, fill in

479
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: the blanks, whatever, the best shape of his life. His

480
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: body fat was down to zero point whatever. Yeah, and

481
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 5: first game he's listed at one point is questionable with backspasms. Okay,

482
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: that's and he played and you just mentioned he had

483
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 5: forty one and open in the opening game. And then

484
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: he comes back home and he plays three minutes of

485
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: the game. The other night, I think I had it

486
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: on TV and I was watching, you know, sudden An's gone.

487
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: Where did he go?

488
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: And you get normally aunt disappears for a little bit

489
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 5: and he'll inevitably come back and he'll play and play

490
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 5: at a high level. This time he didn't come back.

491
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 5: I'm went what happened? And they didn't show up. There's

492
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 5: no replay of something where he's going, Oh, he grabbed

493
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: his hamstring or did something that looked like he tweaked something.

494
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 5: And I know it's a rhetorical question. I don't understand

495
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: how this stuff happens when you have someone who's the

496
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 5: prime of his life in his career, and he does

497
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: all he does is workout. And it's not He's not

498
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: the only one. But how they end up having that

499
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 5: stuff happens, but you know it does, and so he's

500
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 5: not alone. I mean you mentioned it the other night.

501
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 5: I mean, Indiana had like six players out. This is

502
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 5: the third game of the season and they got so

503
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: many guys an injured list already. I mean, Jalen Clark

504
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 5: didn't play last night, and they missed him defensively. I

505
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: can tell you that against Denver and Jamal Murray, they

506
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: were taking out a lot of frustration I think, and

507
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 5: that they had against the Wolves over the years, qucially

508
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 5: in the third chords very entertaining first half. I enjoyed

509
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 5: watching some of the new guys got a chance. Jade

510
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: McDaniels I thought was more aggressive than he certainly has

511
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: been in quite a while in the beginning of this season,

512
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 5: but even going back to last year, and played at

513
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 5: a high level. But Denver was just too good with

514
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 5: Murray and the Joker getting a triple double, but ants

515
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 5: out for I don't know. I mean, that's interesting because

516
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: the Lakers come to town tomorrow night. No Luka Doncic,

517
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: no Lebron, no Anthony Edwards, and that's a nationally televised game,

518
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: and that's you know, it's like, oh boy, the people

519
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 5: who are even neutral basketball fans, there's no reason to

520
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: watch that game if you're a neutral basketball fan. And

521
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: with all the three biggest names on respective teams, it's

522
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 5: just And that's the first week of the season. So yeah,

523
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 5: they got all scored. Wills did forty five twenty nine

524
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: third quarter last night, and the defense was not good

525
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: and that that's but and Jamal Murray was that good.

526
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: So after Game two, de Vincenzo basically said there was

527
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: a lack of effort. Can't fix anything else, we have effort.

528
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: Head coach said the same thing. This this lack of effort,

529
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't understand it.

530
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: It it it.

531
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: Annoys me, and I don't know. I I guess I'm

532
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: the only one because I people like to poke fun

533
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: on me on on the brat Shawn Brian Kfean text line,

534
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: you know that I I'm.

535
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: Too worked up about it.

536
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: Get too I'm two into semantics about the effort stuff.

537
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: But all I know is when a guys says the

538
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: effort's not there. I've always said this, that's the this

539
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: team said this over and over again last year, almost

540
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: after every loss, it would always be well, the other

541
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: team just tried harder, and it is like, that's the

542
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: one thing you can control. This effort you can get

543
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: if you give it one hundred percent. But the other

544
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: teams better than you. You tip your cap to him

545
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: and say, hey, they're just a better club. Because the

546
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: teams are one through thirty two. One team's gonna win

547
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: at all. They're going to be the best, and after that.

548
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 5: It's well, I will say this one last night, I

549
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 5: think the other night was worse. I mean last night,

550
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 5: and I've watched him for play you know plenty. Jamal

551
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: Murray can get that hot hand and that he had

552
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 5: a hand in his face and any number of times

553
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: and was just drilling him. I mean he was. It

554
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 5: was one of those really clean games where he was

555
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: just on fire. I'm not sure what kind of defense

556
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: would have stopped him. And Joker was nine for ten

557
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: from the field. The bigger issue I have with the

558
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: Wolves right now, I don't know how they're going to

559
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 5: figure out their guard situation. Rob Dillingham got the chance

560
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 5: to play with it. He had his nose busted the

561
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 5: other night and he was wearing a clear plastic thing

562
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 5: and they only played twelve minutes last night. He was

563
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 5: two for two from the field. That had a couple

564
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: of nice assists, but overall really didn't do a whole

565
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 5: heck of a lot. Steven Senzo, he's not a point guard.

566
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't handle us all. He's not a point guard.

567
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: And let me just interasure because I want to see

568
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: you I have an answer for that. You know, they

569
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: moved up to the eighth spot to get Dylan Ham

570
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: and I was assuming he was going to be the

571
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: heir apparent to Connolly, right, and that you know, Mike

572
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: was going to see fewer and fewer minutes because he's

573
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: now thirty eight years old and dylling. Maham's nose wasn't

574
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: broken game one, and he did not start. He didn't

575
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: even play la a second. Do you know what that's about?

576
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 5: I think I think Finch said it was kind of

577
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 5: the matchup thing more than anything that he had. He

578
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 5: put bones Hyland out there, who played some last night

579
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 5: as well, played sixteen minutes. He was only one for

580
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: six from the field, but Conley I mean, he's he

581
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 5: even talked about it to kind of a yo yo

582
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 5: kind of world.

583
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: He played.

584
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 5: You know, he had played twenty six minutes last night,

585
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 5: which is too many for him and Dante, and I

586
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: was really high on getting him along with Randall, who's

587
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: been you know, really obviously. I mean I think Overall

588
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 5: have been with anstnein and been their best player. But

589
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: Dante just you know, he's three for ten last night.

590
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 5: He's got those he has a good looks three point shots.

591
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 5: He was only three for eight from that range last night.

592
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 5: He has to knock down those shots because that's why

593
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 5: he's in there. He's, as you said, he's not a ballhandler.

594
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 5: He's not a guy that's gonna run the offense for you.

595
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 5: So I don't know how Finch is going to fix that.

596
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 5: I mean he's gonna guess he's gonna have a combination

597
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 5: of Dillingham and Highland coming off the bench. Conley, you

598
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: can't expect to play more than fifteen minutes a night,

599
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 5: I don't think. And you know, he does what Mike

600
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 5: Conley can do at this point of his life and

601
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: his career, and he.

602
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 3: Should get more than fifteen, shouldn't Your shirt fifteen minutes.

603
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe twenty May.

604
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: He played twenty but you know, I don't know as

605
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: to wearing tearror keeps going on. I don't know if

606
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: twenty six minutes is ideal for Mike Conley. But you

607
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: know that's when you're when you're missing Ant. This team

608
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 5: relies on him so much, and the other guys just start.

609
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 5: Shannon gave you some moments last night. Look at the

610
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 5: rest of the nas reed looked better last night than

611
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: he has in the previous games.

612
00:28:58,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: I know.

613
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 5: You know, he had a lot of personal distress this

614
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 5: last year with his sister murder and all the stuff

615
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: that's going on with that, and he's I mean, he's

616
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 5: responded coming back home. Looked really good last night. But

617
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: you know, the your guy, the baron Jair, and he

618
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 5: barely he played in garbage time at the end, and uh,

619
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 5: you know, Shannon got a chance to play, so I

620
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 5: got some stuff they got to obviously continue to work

621
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 5: on in the Ant's absence, in particular.

622
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: See Draymond him. You see I'm watching the highlightscing about.

623
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: Well he he dragged the guy down and got teed

624
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: up and he after the way I just saw it quickly,

625
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I saw it. It looked

626
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: like when he dried the guy down't he tried to

627
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: act like he was going to trying to help him

628
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 3: stay up. So then they called the technical. He was

629
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: yelling to the to the guy who got the who

630
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: got who? He we mogged basically, so he was telling

631
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: me to shut up. Then he missed the free throws

632
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: and Draymond's are laughing at him.

633
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: So interesting.

634
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 5: And I know we haven't talked about it yet because

635
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: you were talking about it off air. But I went

636
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: to the game last night and I was obviously keeping

637
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 5: tabs of the World Series. Game was game three, and

638
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: back and forth, back and forth. I hadn't seen any

639
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 5: of the highlights they had it on. You know, I

640
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 5: saw it briefly. I went, oh the game, the Wolves

641
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 5: game ended, I again, hopefully get home. Now I heard

642
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 5: it's going to go to extra innings. So I drive home,

643
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: listened to the game on the radio, and I'm going there, God,

644
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to o Tan. He's going to be

645
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 5: up and he's he's already been on base.

646
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: You know.

647
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 5: It began bease nine times last night, right, so, and

648
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 5: then they walked him so I got to rush upstairs,

649
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 5: but the TV on I got to catch the end

650
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: of this game. Well, I watched basically, and I got

651
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 5: home and the Wolve's game was late. Watch those an

652
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: entire game last night in extra innings. We all know, Uh,

653
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 5: you made it through the end. You told me you

654
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 5: fell asleep in the couch or whatever, and you did

655
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: your normal thing.

656
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. I woke up at one o'clock and I checked

657
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: the phone. I said, well, I.

658
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: Wonder how the Beef's game ended up. I want to

659
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: see how the Wolves game ended up, and how the

660
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: World Series ended up. And I checked all three and

661
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 3: I checked World Series last, and it said the game

662
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 3: was still being played. It was in the seventeen. Then

663
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: I said no, and I turned it on. I watched

664
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: last evening and a half I miss.

665
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 5: I said to myself, you know, you try to convince yourself.

666
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 5: I'm going to stay up for one more inning.

667
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: That's it.

668
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 5: Fourteenth and the fifteenth and the sixteenth. I went, both

669
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: teams having chances. I said, seventeenth inning, that's it.

670
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: I'm out. It's one fifteen in the morning. What that means.

671
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: It's like two fifteen in Toronto.

672
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 5: All those people are up and then they get their

673
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 5: hearts crushed last night, but it was only again, it's

674
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 5: game three.

675
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: How do you recover from that? Freeman hits the home run.

676
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 5: Both teams had went through every picture they had left

677
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 5: on their staff. Basically, I think Roberts was saying of

678
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 5: the Dodgers, they had they were going to put an

679
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 5: everyday player in. They were trying to figure out who

680
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 5: was going to go in there. It had a little

681
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: bit of everything, including Otani who hit the two home runs,

682
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 5: right yep, you know it's on base nine times. They

683
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: just I want if they're going to just continue to

684
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: until they had they pitchers up.

685
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: In the bullpen that were or that were supposed to

686
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: start the next game.

687
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't know what to.

688
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: Do about Clayton Kershaw getting in the game. That was

689
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: a moment. But I did see that, and that was

690
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: very cool because you know, his idol, Sandy Kofax at

691
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 5: eighty nine year old Sandy Kofax. They took a picture

692
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 5: of put it online because he's my hero, and he's

693
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 5: sitting in the stand still looking like a million bucks

694
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: at eighty nine and thinking back of us sixty years

695
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 5: ago when Sandy beat the Twins in Game seven in

696
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: the afternoon here when he could not throw a curveball.

697
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 5: We were just talking about injuries. Walter Alson wasn't going

698
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 5: to take him out even though he couldn't throw a

699
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 5: curveball because his arm was so bad. Yeah, he had

700
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: to throw a rely on his fastball the entire game

701
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 5: and he still shut the Twins out.

702
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

703
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: You had mentioned Otani.

704
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no player ever had more extra base hits in

705
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: a World Series game than Otani did last night.

706
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: Two homers, two doubles in the first seven innings.

707
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: Amazing.

708
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: No player in Major League, in any Major League game

709
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: ever reached more reached base more times than Otani did

710
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: when he got walked five straight times, following with four

711
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: hit barrage. And nobody ever picked up a baseball, and

712
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: nobody who ever picked up a baseball accomplished a fraction

713
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: of Otani's latest mind bloin feeds at the plate on

714
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: a night when they really needed to get to bed

715
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: because they had to pitch the next day.

716
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 5: He's starting tonight. I mean, it's just mind boggling. Are

717
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 5: we watching the great really? Are the greatest player? I mean,

718
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 5: we hate They had that argument to.

719
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: Say it's it's a well, it's hard to argue it

720
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: just because not It's not as though he's like, he's

721
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: a really good offensive player. Oh he's an okay pitcher,

722
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: or he he's a really good pitcher and he's an

723
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: okay hitter. He's brilliant at both. It's it's it it's

724
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: it's hard to find, you know. The only comparison would be,

725
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: you know, when Ruth, you know, he was he was

726
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: a pitcher and then he But I.

727
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: I think he pitched that.

728
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he well, I think after. I don't

729
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: think he pitched and then played in the field and

730
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: then pitched and played in the field. I think he

731
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: pitched early and then he turned into an everyday player instead.

732
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 5: It's obviously different errors and everything that goes on, but

733
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 5: my goodness, I think Toronto. Toronto needed to find a

734
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 5: way to win the game last night. Emotionally, it's going

735
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 5: to be really tough to go out there tonight and

736
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 5: face Otani and try to come back from it. They've

737
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 5: done it now and again. Springer, I don't know what

738
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 5: happened he I saw the replay. He tweaked something in

739
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 5: his back. He had to go out of the game,

740
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 5: and he's a he's a catalyst.

741
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: As we know.

742
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 5: He hit the big three run homer uh to put

743
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 5: them in the World Series. But without him in the

744
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 5: lineup that Toronto Toronto Blue Jays lose a lot, a

745
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: lot of punch with him going. So hopefully you can

746
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: come back.

747
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: Someone sent a text message that says, common only the

748
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 3: Vikes and the Wolves come on some wild. There's not

749
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: much to say about the Wild right now. They're struggling,

750
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: said ten to be one, winning their last six or

751
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: seven is.

752
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: It something like that.

753
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they started off to and one, but now they've

754
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: only won three games in the first ten.

755
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: A lot of goals, aren't.

756
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: They think they I don't think they problem. I don't

757
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: think they won a game in six seven games.

758
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: Six seven games. There's only one game, yeah one winning

759
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: those six seven games.

760
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: And it's uh yeah, there's there's there's nothing pretty about it.

761
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: They're just.

762
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 5: It's some of the time and they're playing teams they

763
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 5: weren't when they stay at home, they weren't that impressive,

764
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 5: I mean record wise early in the season. So it's

765
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: it's definitely a bad early season trend. When you're looking

766
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 5: at the number of goals are giving up with its goaltending,

767
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: lack of defense and and et cetera, et cetera. Zucarella

768
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 5: is coming back, right, isn't that soon?

769
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: That's at least he was on the ice today. That's

770
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: that's encouraging everybody.

771
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: They can get.

772
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Was originally scheduled for six to eight weeks and he's

773
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: at week five.

774
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but back on the ice today. Yeah, that's good, and.

775
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: They need him because they're there are top six. Uh

776
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: you know with Johansen's had to play in the top six.

777
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: I know he scored a couple of goals recently, but

778
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: still I don't want him in your top six. You know,

779
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: Tarasenko has been pretty mad so far. They could use

780
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,040

Speaker 3: season never ends.

792
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,120

794
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 3: there's something. Do they ever have time off or do

795
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 3: they play year round?

796
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: It seems like they.

807
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 5: The world's best player right now continues to be so,

808
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 5: I mean, it'll be a big deal here in the country,

809
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 5: hosting it a number of sites next year.

810
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 4: Then you're Twins Club.

811
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 5: I ran into someone from the Twins last night at

812
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 5: the Target Center. I said, you guys ever got to

813
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 5: name a manager. You're gonna go to spring training and

814
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 5: have like just a designated person.

815
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 4: Well, if you remember, a lot of teams will just

816
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 4: have all have an opener. That's true. Maybe We'll just

817
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 4: have a different manager every.

818
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: Game, like a rotating captain, like the Wild they to

819
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: do in their first year.

820
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: Just let the first base coach manage the club with

821
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 4: the lineup.

822
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: I have an idea, Oh good, bring back Sonny Gray.

823
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: Have them be a player manager. That player manager. The

824
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: players respected them, they loved them, is what they did,

825
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: and he'd be on our staff.

826
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 5: I managine watching that game last night, or any of

827
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 5: these playoff games, and then you look at the Twins

828
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 5: roster and they end up they're playing the same sport.

829
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 5: I mean it's I mean, we traded away half a roster.

830
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 5: Well that's what I'm our media CA roster. Yeah, I

831
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 5: got Joe, Ryan and Lopez.

832
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: And that's my favorite is people bragging about the prospect

833
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: rankings for the Twins, like, well, they traded away half

834
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: their team this year.

835
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,600
