1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Bad command, common man, no shoe, solid plan.

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: So they aren't we cancel secit approach, won't fail to in.

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: It's time for common man. Oh boy, common man, charge

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: of housewives?

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: Go?

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Can what you shoot?

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 4: Where we play?

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: That's nonsense. I'm deciding it's time for common man.

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 5: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 5: average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 5: That means you're the best of the lousiest and the

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 5: lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 5: more for producing less and less while they have not,

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 5: nations encourage and inspire, and indeed require hard work and

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: maximum effort. If we deify the common man while they

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 5: encourage and reward the uncommon ones, a the end result

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 5: of such a lopsided raceist that is too obvious to

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 5: require elaboration.

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 4: I mean it's like, Hello, they can't pitch, they can't ship.

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Jeep has been around a long long time.

60
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Remember that bit I did where you know I owned

61
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: what the deuce has a jeep?

62
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: Now, I had a jeep, a Jeep Wrangler, ninety seven

63
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Jeep Wrangler, and I just loved it. And you know,

64
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: my wife used it as a regular car. And then

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: once we got ninety thousand miles on her so she.

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: Needed to move on. We had kids. We the jeep

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna work with.

68
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: The with the car seats and all that, right, So

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: instead of trading the jeep in, I said, I want

70
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: to keep this because you take the top off and

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: you got a convertible. It's just cool to have, right,

72
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: And what I didn't know that, well, I guess tend

73
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: to be already. You're probably lost in this because it's

74
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: a jeep thing. You wouldn't understand. That's what jeep people

75
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: used to say to each other. It's a jeep thing.

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you when they It was at

77
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the stoplight, you know, white jeep pulls up next to

00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: me in a beautiful, vivacious blonde is behind the wheel

79
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,640

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,360

84
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: wave thing, right, yeah, where you know people would wave

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: at me.

86
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: What are they waving at me for? Do they know me?

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Do they recognize me?

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: I mean, how much like Paul Allen, You're on an airplane,

89
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: a woman's looking at you. You obviously think she recognizes you,

90
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: and you're convinced she's dying to take a take a.

91
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: Selfie with you, right, something that these people must know me?

92
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Why they wave? Then I findance the jeep wave you're

93
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: supposed to wave. So then I said, well that's silly.

94
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: But then you kind of get caught up in it, right,

95
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: and you go, okay, well I'm gonna start with well,

96
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: so then they're not waving at me anymore. Nobody's going.

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm getting annoyed with people. It's like, don't you

Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but they owned ones, so they should have known.

Speaker 1: for the fish raft factory West Side for years now

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: with ESPN based in Minnesota, covers Minnesota sports, sports, sports,

160
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: your whole life. Just sports for ESPN. I think maybe

161
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: just specifically football. I don't know if he covers any

162
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: of the other sports. I think that's it and a pretty.

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: Good gig if you can get any He's a weekly guest.

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: I think weekly for sure. With Dan Burrow during the

165
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: football season. I missed this piece because I was coming

166
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: back to town, I believe, from being out a town

167
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: in Palm Springs. But I looked it up after you

168
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: brought it up, and you know you had mentioned the

169
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: parts where Kurt Warner, the Hall of Fame quarterback, may

170
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: had some comments about where JJ McCarthy is, where he's going,

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: where he's at, where he could go, and stuch like that.

172
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of other interesting things in

173
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: that piece. Because we have been trying now for the

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: longest time, at least I've been wondering for the longest

175
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: time the Vikings, what was there was their plan all

176
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: along to star JJ McCarthy. They didn't sign Sam Donald,

177
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: they didn't franchise Sam Donald, Danny Dimes decided to leave.

178
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers expressed interest in coming, but he never did.

179
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: I was under the assumption we just said, you know what,

180
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: we got this handled. We can coax this kid up.

181
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm QB whisper. It may be a little bit more

182
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: complicated than that. According to this piece from Seaffert, it

183
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: says the Vikings bigger issue with the teams need to

184
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: construct its quarterback roum before the club would see McCarthy

185
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: in a full off season practice. The Vikings have been

186
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: excited about his future before the injury. This injury were

187
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: talking about the kne injury and plan to increase his

188
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: first team reps when it occurred, but a long period

189
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: of inactivity had passed since then.

190
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,119
Speaker 2: The Vikings thought they had a head start.

191
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: After signing Danny Dimes to their practice squad in week

192
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: thirteen of the twenty twenty four season. Danny Dimes had

193
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: requested and received his release from the Giants. Darnald was

194
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: in the midst of her breakout year. With McCarthy sent

195
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: to return in twenty twenty five, the Vikings thought Donald

196
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: merited more than they could offer him a long term

197
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: starting role, so they did not have any We knew

198
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: that they did not have long term starting plans, so

199
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: they didn't want to. I guess, almost as a favorite Tom,

200
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: We're not going to franchise him. We're going to let

201
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: him go. The Vikings could have used the franchise tad

202
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: to keep Donald for one more season and another year

203
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: to develop McCarthy, but they thought Jones provided a more

204
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: efficient pass a path as.

205
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: They did with Donald. The Vikings envision Jones as a.

206
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: Cow arding caliber hedge against McCarthy's inexperience in health. Team

207
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: officials sent strong positive vibes from Dimes throughout the fall

208
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: and winter. They believed he would sign their offer, which

209
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: was competitive with the fourteen million dollars deal he ultimately

210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: signed with the Colts.

211
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: However, here's the butt.

212
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: The Vikings had misread jones level of interest in their

213
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: scheme and culture. He liked the organization and the people

214
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: in it, but business was business. A League source said,

215
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: the Colts offered the best fit. In other words, Jones

216
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: wanted to be on the field in twenty twenty five

217
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: and thought he had a better chance of overtaking the

218
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: Colts young quarterback third year pro Anthony Richardson Senior than McCarthy.

219
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: The Vikings then turned their deliberations to Rodgers, who was

220
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: a free agent had contact to O'Connell to express an

221
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: interest in signing with them.

222
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: There are multiple reasons.

223
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: Why the Vikings pass, sources say, but one of them

224
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: was the front office's internal assessment that at forty one,

225
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: he was no longer likely to play at a big

226
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: game level. Making the playoffs with Rogers but not winning

227
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the big game was an equitable trade off for delay

228
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy's ascension.

229
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: They concluded.

230
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: Another was the off schedule nature of rogers playing style

231
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: at times of signing routes to receivers at the line

232
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage by using hand signals or other means. McCarthy

233
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't benefit from watching an offense that wouldn't that he

234
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: would not be asked to run in future years. At

235
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: that point, the Vikings had run out of starting caliber

236
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: options and view most of their manu available quarterbacks in

237
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: similar ways, and that's when they went the direction of

238
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: with Sam Howell. They didn't think that was gonna work

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: very well. They got they got scared off by that,

240
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: and they went out and got.

241
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: Wentz. Carson Wentzen played him and that was the mixed

242
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: results there.

243
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean Wentz did he go two and four, two

244
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: and four, three three in his five starts. So we

245
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: knew about the conversations with Rogers, right, we knew. I

246
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: think we were all kind of felt that's what it was.

247
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: With Darnold.

248
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: They just didn't want to commit the three years with

249
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Sam Sam Donald, and I guess they felt like it

250
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: was just, you know, the right thing to do to

251
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: not franchise him and let him go.

252
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 2: He because he'd played so well go.

253
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: And I admire that from from from the vikings of

254
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: the front office to me that they would say, you

255
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: know what, we're not gonna just you know, you know,

256
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: have you sit here for I mean his wife was pregnant,

257
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, no insurance.

258
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: Now I'm doing a bit anyway. I always love that one.

259
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: But the Rogers thing, I still.

260
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Think they should have signed Donald, and I will stick

261
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: to that's not high. I've had people who suggest it's

262
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: hindsight for those of us that feel that way, that's

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: not It's not like I said that halfway through the

264
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: scenes and said, you know, on second thought, maybe I was.

265
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: I was all for signing Donald much earlier because you

266
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: search forever to find a franchise quarterback. He seemed to

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: He's got a few warts, they all do. He seemed

268
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: to be the guy. The Rogers thing they should have

269
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: went with, that was one, and this idea that that well,

270
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: because Rogers ad libs, Macarthy's not going to learn much.

271
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: Macarthy cans still learn a lot from Aaron Rodgers of

272
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a quarterback, what it's like

273
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: to be a Richard. I mean, what it's like to

274
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: be a good teammate. And the other thing is, I'm

275
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: so tired of this everything. I know that the quarterback

276
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: position is the most important thing, but it's the same

277
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: thing when people said, well, we gotta see what McCarthy has,

278
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: and you know we got to do this, We're gonna

279
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: do that. No, you know what, We're built to win

280
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: right now. You look at ja j Ango kid, it's

281
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: going to be your job eventually. But we have a

282
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: chance to win right now. I got a chance to

283
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: get a future Hall of Fame or four time MVP.

284
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna roll the dice with him. And if Rogers

285
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: was awful, then you put McCarthy in that position. Now

286
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: would the team have been any better with Rogers?

287
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. They were nine and eight with a

288
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: combination of three quarterbacks.

289
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: If they've got Aaron Rodgers, I think he squeezes a

290
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: couple more wins out of it.

291
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: So I think it's some And.

292
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 8: Why can't we have a young quarterback learn how to

293
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 8: add lib like Aaron Rodgers? It'd be nice to be

294
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 8: I just want a quarterback like that once, like Peyton

295
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 8: Manning who just goes up to the line and goes, Oh,

296
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 8: this is what they're doing. Here's how we're going to

297
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 8: beat it. Why why does it always have to be

298
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 8: the way the offensive coordinator, the head coach is offense

299
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 8: set up. You're spot on.

300
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: Why do we have all the answers? Why do we

301
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: know everything when it comes to sports?

302
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Sports? Sports? I guess I said who we are. It's

303
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,000

Speaker 2: To go with them soon, tennebye. You sent me.

326
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: This is.

327
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting, to say the least. It's that's interesting

328
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: from Bring Me to Sports. It says, oh, is there

329
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: a schism between Brian Flores on the Vikings? And if

330
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: you go to a John Krasinsky or the Athletic is

331
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: quoted in this piece. In this you sent me a

332
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: it was a tweet and then you sent me a

333
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: screenshot of it or a link, whatever they call it.

334
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: He says. This is what Krazinsky says.

335
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: I can't tell you the exact nature of the conflict

336
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: or of the drama behind the scenes, but there's something

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: going on that does lead me to believe that it's

338
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: not a foregone conclusion that Bflow would stay here to

339
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: be a coordinator that he could lead to go elsewhere,

340
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: which I think would be a disaster for the Vikings,

341
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: and it would.

342
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Be a terrible look, and that's all I see.

343
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if Krasinsky did a deeper vibe than

344
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: that in any of his pieces with the Athletic as

345
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: I've not searched higher loaf or.

346
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: That, but it was.

347
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of us tend to be have

348
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: heard things behind the scenes. You know, I'm not an

349
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: insider by any stretch of the imagination.

350
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: You know, my source for the Wolves for years was

351
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: one of the ushers, Al the usher. He was the

352
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: guy that gave me all my information. I always love

353
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: that one.

354
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: Alan used to say, Al was great. He would he would,

355
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: he would, he would talk to me before games and

356
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: he'd go.

357
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: If I was.

358
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Coaching, first thing I'd tell the guy to do is

359
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: when he comes into the paint, give him a bloody

360
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: knows Alco High school basketball he goes to give him

361
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: bloody No, he ain't coming back into the paint anymore.

362
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: But anyway, so you know I have source here, a

363
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: source there. I'm not as plugged in as like a

364
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: like the National Treasure or certainly not like Mark Roseen. No,

365
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not there. But you heard it that there

366
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: was something there with Florries, and you'd want it because

367
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: he had not resigned yet, you know, and I and

368
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: you know. It could be he didn't want to. It

369
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: might there might not be excuse him at all. It

370
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: might just be he wants to be a head coach

371
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: again and he doesn't want to resign and he's hoping

372
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: that And there's there are currently is it six openings

373
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: or is it more than that? Is it just six

374
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: recent NFL head coach openings. It's at least six, and

375
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: there might be more six to seven.

376
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: I think that's about right.

377
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so maybe he really I don't think I

378
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: think he's pro I don't know this for fat but

379
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure I saw somewhere he'd like to be head

380
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: coaching him. Why wouldn't he, Now there's always that little

381
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: snaff who of he's got a lawsuit against the league

382
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: right now, right, I think a racial discrimination allegedly.

383
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: I think that's what he what his lawsuit's all about.

384
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: And so you wonder how many ownerships want to hire

385
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: a guy to coach that's got a lawsuit against the league.

386
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: But he's a hot commodity.

387
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: He co He was a head coach for the Dolphins,

388
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: and I think he did fairly well with the Dolphins, right,

389
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: They weren't a complete disaster under him, right.

390
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: I think they had one good season. They're okay.

391
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so you know, oftentimes guys need a second chance, right,

392
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: sometimes the situation isn't quite right.

393
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 8: Well, it sounds like if you remember, part of the

394
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 8: reason is it sounds like part of why Bflow got

395
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 8: pushed out is because the ownership wanted in the tank.

396
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to do it. So I

397
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: think he was getting he was getting undercutted. That's right.

398
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: And again you know it's like he said, she said

399
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. You know, I think didn't they

400
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: deny they ever did that?

401
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: Didn't ownership? Oh, we never did anything such a thing.

402
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't like they were gonna pay them a

403
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for each loss or something like that.

404
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: I shouldn't admit this on one hundred thousand ready out

405
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: of taken the money. So you want me to tag

406
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars, I would have bargain. I said,

407
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: give make it a quarter for me. It will lose,

408
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: trust me, man, I'll throw I'll have my quarterback thrown

409
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: a double coverage every single time. But anyway, yeah, you know,

410
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: and I've look you and I have all the answers.

411
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: There's not much we don't know.

412
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: You and I are rarely wrong.

413
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: But I have underestimated how important coordinators can be.

414
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: I really have. I've always said, yeah, you know, they're important.

415
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: But if you've got the right personnel, who can't any

416
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: any defensive or offensive coordinator worth their salt, that's an

417
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: I think that's an old saint. If they're if there

418
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: weren't there, whatever, well then they can coach those guys

419
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: out and put a scheme together. But it is more

420
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: complicated than that. We've seen what happened with Detroit. I

421
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: mean Ben Johnson is a perfect example. Detroit was the

422
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: most explosive offense for two years. For two years in

423
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: this league, they were the most explosive offense. They're still

424
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: pretty good, but he ain't on the level they were

425
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: with Ben Johnson.

426
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: They just weren't that.

427
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, John Morton had to be removed from

428
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: play calling for Detroit. And then Danny Campbell I love him,

429
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: but well, he was waiting on the front porch. The

430
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: opposition was going out the back door after pillaging the

431
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: entire house.

432
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: He he And then we've Bflow does make a difference.

433
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: Now again, I've always gone with it could have been

434
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: the personnel and not Ed don Intel.

435
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: I still stick with that Ed Donatell was a tur

436
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: rific offensive coordinator over the years. I don't think he

437
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: had a whole lot to work with because if you'll

438
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: remember when Bflow took over, he had a year when

439
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: they went seven to ten of the defense wasn't very

440
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: good at all. Then they went out and got some

441
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: pieces that worked. They got Grenard van Ginkel and some

442
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: other guys in Blake Cashman cashing cash out. Suddenly that

443
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: defense played better. Now I'll give more credit to the

444
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: coordinator than I used to. I used to think it

445
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: was more just players. Anybody can coordinate this or coordinate that,

446
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: so they do make a difference, and Bflow does seem

447
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: to be one of the more highly regarded and better

448
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators.

449
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: It would be a loss for the Vikings to lose him.

450
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: Is it the end of the world.

451
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but it certainly wouldn't be a

452
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: good fit. And if there is some kind of a

453
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: schism there for whatever reason it might be, and I'm

454
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: not ready to speculate on it because I'm not an inside.

455
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm not an insider.

456
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 8: I think Bflow is already kind of like the favorite

457
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 8: to get the Vegas shot. That's what somebody told me,

458
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 8: because Tom Brady's making the decisions now, Tom Brady. Bflow

459
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 8: was the defensive coordinator in New England five points when

460
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 8: Brady was there.

461
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, you're connecting the dots, which you're actually.

462
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: Connecting the x's and the o's. That's what you're doing.

463
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then we're gonna get Raheem Morris, who was

464
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 8: just fired as the head coaches of Atlanta. He's gonna

465
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 8: take over B Flow a spot because him and him

466
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 8: and Koc were the coordinators in LA when they won

467
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl or really a big game there. Yes,

468
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 8: they were the offensive defensive coordinator.

469
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: Raheem is highly regarded as a defensive wordnator.

470
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 8: Right he struggled as a head coach because I think

471
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 8: he's had two shots out of noun.

472
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: Well close, sergrete to B Flow. Don't let the door

473
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: hitch on the way out. No matter how it seems,

474
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: I think we need Raheem. No matter how it seems,

475
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: I think we need Raheem.

476
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: I'm all for it.

477
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 8: So anyway those we just need nine to play like nine,

478
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 8: then we don't even need a defense. Yeah, I don't

479
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 8: think he.

480
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: He probably should have waited on me alter egoing until

481
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: you actually established yourself. You don't make that big step

482
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: in the one they say, how do you go from

483
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: struggling to get any.

484
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 5: Where you are?

485
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: And he goes because I know I have an alter ego.

486
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: And then you have your locker look like a phone booth.

487
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, Clark Kent used to go into the phone

488
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 1: booth and come out. People know who Superman is, right,

489
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: even the kids do right, because haven't they have ants?

490
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: So he would step into a phone booth, he was

491
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: mild bavid reporter Clark Kenton.

492
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: He would step out, he'd be Superman. You could have had.

493
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: His locker made me look like a phone booth. And

494
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: then what he would get there and it would be

495
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: great for social right. You know, they always like to

496
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: show the film. You know we always see on YouTube.

497
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: Now you'll see the the.

498
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: The postgame celebration or the handing out the game balls

499
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: and the coaches pumping them all love great winning all that.

500
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: You can do a pregame one where you have JJ

501
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: McCarthy step into his locker.

502
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: And then when he comes out, he's nine, Oh cool.

503
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: Would that be? Well, we'll come.

516
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: boys went. Really, they both went to Red Rock Elementary.

517
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: They loved it there. You know what they really like

518
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: where they have the after school club. You know when

519
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: your parents can't be home right after school and I

520
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: would go there. They'd always be like dodgeball or something

521
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: and it was one more minute. They loved being there.

522
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: I tried to get the school to have them stay overnight.

523
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: Did I tell you that?

524
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: My wife and I sat the kids down and said,

525
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: we've decided we don't want kids.

526
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: You know, you make that decision at you know, when

527
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: you're married. I think we should have children. We've changed

528
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: our minds, but there's.

529
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: Nothing we could do about it because they're there and

530
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: Ny we told them we don't we've changed our minds,

531
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: we don't want kids.

532
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: And they said, well, too bad, we're already here. And

533
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: they're absolutely they're absolutely right.

534
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: Someone sent to the UH branch around Brian kafan text line.

535
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: They said, kids may know who Superman is, but they

536
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: probably don't know what a phone booth is.

537
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: And that's probably true. Huh, phone booth? What's that?

538
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: There was a time before cell phones where you'd go

539
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: the phone booth was the coolest thing too. It was

540
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: at had little folding door. They were just tiny, I

541
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: mean like you almost had. They had a little chair

542
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: to sit in, a little bench attached to the wall.

543
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: But I mean you would get claustrophobic in there in

544
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: a hurry. If you're claustrophobic, a phone booth is not

545
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: what you wanted. And you'd climb in there and then

546
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: they would have the kids probably know what this is

547
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: either a phone book, and they would have it attached

548
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: to like a chain, so you wouldn't steal it.

549
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know who's going to steal a

550
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: phone book.

551
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 8: But one of my favorite hockey sayings that the kids

552
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 8: would no longer understand is he can stick handle on

553
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 8: a phone booth.

554
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: Ah right, yeah, they don't understand that.

555
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: But now you'll see phone booths at places that have

556
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: just been the businesses have kept them, but they don't

557
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: really have phones in anymore, but they just think they

558
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: look cool. Some still actually operate. I've seen them before.

559
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: But let me guess you still think that that Oklahoma

560
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: City thunder Club is the team that you know you

561
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: should prop up on a pedestal and idolized and pedestalize.

562
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: You know.

563
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: They're poised, they're polished and professional. They take every game seriously.

564
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that was me six and six in their

565
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: last twelve tenaby and they got obliterated.

566
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 2: By the Charlotte d Hornets.

567
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: They got absolutely destroyed by the Hornets.

568
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: And I've had not the team you want to get

569
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: destroyed by it. No, And I've had the negatives.

570
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: And the naysayers, the critics come out of the woodwork

571
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: to get on me, because look, I.

572
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: Think I make no apologies.

573
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: The Wolves approach and attitudes sometimes bothers me, and I

574
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: don't know why it doesn't bother other timber I think

575
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: it does bother some Timberwolves fans, but others just think, well, no,

576
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. I think there are

577
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: people that say that's just the way the league is.

578
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: There are games where sometimes one team just doesn't really care,

579
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: they're not interested in playing, and they've decided, yeah, the

580
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: other team seems to really be into it tonight, and

581
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: we're just not really into it.

582
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: It's just another game of eighty two.

583
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: And especially if you're a bad team, you're going really

584
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: doesn't It's sort of like the Vikings playing out the

585
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: string and winning those last five games. It means nothing

586
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: other than you won five games and that's cool. You

587
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: hurt your draft position. You have a third place schedule

588
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: rather than a fourth place schedule. I guess there are

589
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: people that think there are building blocks there for the

590
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: next season. I'm not convinced to that. And then of

591
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: our teams like the Wolves, I think that just say,

592
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna make postseason play anyways, and look,

593
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: as a sixth seed, they got to the Western Conference

594
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Finals last year. So getting the number one seed isn't all,

595
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: isn't to be all to end all. Getting a second, third, fourth, fifth,

596
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: or you know, just so you're in the top six

597
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: is really where you want to get.

598
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: My comeback to that, though, would be I give them

599
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of slack.

600
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: Because they did win a ship, right, yeah, I mean

601
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: they they want a ship.

602
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: Also. My guess is tenn to be.

603
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: Okayse gets everybody's best effort, right, especially when they were

604
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: they were twenty one and one or twenty two on one,

605
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: whatever that record was. It was like, that's the best

606
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: team in the league. Let's put our big boy pants on,

607
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: our big boy basketball shorts, let's see what we got,

608
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: let's see what we give it to. And I think

609
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: that's what happens. I guess it's human nature. And look,

610
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: they're not that good that they're going to win every

611
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: single game. We know, we've talked about this, teneby. I

612
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: think sometimes teams think they can flip it, they can

613
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: turn it on and off like a switch, And if

614
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: you're a really good team and you're playing the dregs,

615
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: you can often do that. Okac's earned to me a

616
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: little bit of equity. Equity, that's thank you, that's that's

617
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: a great way. They have some equit. They've they've earned

618
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: that by being poised, polished and professional winning a ship.

619
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: I'll give them a pass. And they are always getting

620
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: the best effort from teams. I don't think there's a

621
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: bottom feeder out there that's saying, here come the big

622
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: bad Wolves, we need to huff and puff and.

623
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: Blow the arena down, right. I don't think they're treated

624
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: like the big bad Wolf. I don't think.

625
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: Because even though they're a quality club, they are amongst

626
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: a number of quality clubs. There's six seven six seven

627
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: teams in the West that are kind of that timber

628
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: with like right, maybe even in the East. Maybe not

629
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: as many in the East, but they have that same

630
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: kind of a team. Then there's this Tenney. The Thunder

631
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: were on the back end of an away home back

632
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: to back. On an away and home, they had to

633
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: quickly fly from Phoenix to prepare for that game against Charlotte.

634
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: Back to backs will drain a team, don't you know that?

635
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: And think about this.

636
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Phoenix is around eleven hundred feet above sea level.

637
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: I checked. That's interesting.

638
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's around twelve hundred and eighty five feet. That's one

639
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five feet of elevation change.

640
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: I always love that one that Oklahoma City had to

641
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: deal with. And think about this.

642
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: There's an hour difference between Oklahoma City time and Phoenix

643
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: time only because Arizona doesn't do daylight savings, so it's

644
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: actually a two hour difference, but it's only a one

645
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: How do you think that screws up your circadian rhythms

646
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: and your body clock? Am I two hours ahead or

647
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: a my two hours behind?

648
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: Them?

649
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: An hour ahead, I'm an hour behind, one hundred and

650
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: eighty five feet in elevation change back to back games.

651
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 6: Do people that.

652
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: Realize how difficult that is, even for world class athletes

653
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: to acclimate themselves to give Oklahoma City a pass. Well,

654
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: that's what everybody said, That's what everybody tells me. Yeah,

655
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that I look I gain dispute it. Yeah,

656
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: everybody says that. They all say any time I go, Well.

657
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: That's just nonsense, that's preposterous.

658
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: Five star hotels, chartered jets, finest food, massage therapists, two

659
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: sometimes more expensive than one, but well worth it. Oh

660
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: that's a fourth inside joke from twenty five years ago

661
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: here at the man and I'm still not going to

662
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: reveal what it's about. I mean, think about they have

663
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: chef inspired creations for food, the best food in the world.

664
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what one hundred and eighty five

665
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: feet in elevation change.

666
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: Then think about that. Think about how much difference. Well,

667
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: it's a big difference. Yeah, And then of course you'd like,

668
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: I say you you don't know, am I? An hour?

669
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: Is my body clock? An hour? Offer? Is it two hours?

670
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: You don't know what time it is, so you don't

671
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: even know what time your day it is? You know

672
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: what city you're in?

673
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another old inside joke at the fan. I

674
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: don't even know what city on So.

675
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 8: Did the did the San Antonio Spurs like break the thunder? Well,

676
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 8: because they beat him three times in like what a

677
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 8: couple of weeks stretch. Yeah, and up until that point,

678
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 8: I'm sure. Okay, so she just thought they were invincible

679
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 8: and had all the conference in the world. And now

680
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 8: you started doubting yourself a little bit. Does this team,

681
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 8: this team can take us down?

682
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, and I'll tell you what who plays for? Okay?

683
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: See Victor Webama, the player that Mark rolls In wouldn't

684
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Edwards for in a million years, he said.

685
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 8: And by the way, the Spurs have a message for

686
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 8: the okaycy Thunder.

687
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 6: Just in your mirror may be closer than they appear.

688
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: If Ren ben Yama stays healthy, I'm about to.

689
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: Say something controversial. That's interesting. You're going to go down

690
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: as the greatest player in the history of the National

691
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: Basketball Association. Wow. I know we all love Michael and

692
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: he was really good. I want to be like Mike.

693
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: I like that.

694
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes that he were me. Oh, if I could be

695
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 2: like Mike, I like that.

696
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: I think I might come up with a little jingle

697
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: as you know, my alter ego, my rap ego. I

698
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: want to be a little little long John's. So yeah,

699
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: you know there's a little equity there. But I will say,

700
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what Oklahoma State's doing or Oklahoma City's doing.

701
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you what are you doing?

702
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: How do you you can't I mean circle the way

703
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: because I don't care how far you know. And if

704
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: you look at the stats from the game tenn to

705
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: be Oklahoma City, it was really a difference.

706
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: Between shooting percentages.

707
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City couldn't make anything. Their shooting percentages were as

708
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: low as they they've been all year, or among some

709
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: of the lowest. And if you look at the shooting

710
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: percentage for Charlotte, they were like fifty sent from three

711
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: point line. If those two teams played the best four

712
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: out of seven, it's four games to none.

713
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 8: Right, it's playoff time since Charlotte probably wouldn't get wouldn't

714
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 8: even get to single digits, no, exactly double digit loss

715
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 8: every game.

716
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so.

717
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

718
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay See's uh six and six in their.

719
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 8: Last twelve, that's exactly right, six and including a lost

720
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 8: your Minnesota terminal.

721
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and so, uh maybe the the apple's off the orange,

722
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: no once it the shine is off the It's an

723
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: old saying in Tennessee and know there is in Texas.

724
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: It's something about the uh.

725
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: The shine is.

726
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: It's something about it's not glossy and new and shiny.

727
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: It's not a shiny toy. They're they're they've been they've

728
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: been brought back down to earth. What are the standings

729
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: in the West? Are you looking at it right now?

730
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, San Antonio.

731
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: Is how many of that?

732
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 8: Okay See is now thirty and seven, Spurs are four

733
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 8: games back, but just three in the lost column twenty

734
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 8: five and ten. And it's pretty jammed up after after Okay, see,

735
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: you know the Wolves are only two and a half

736
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 8: games out of being in second in the in the West,

737
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 8: uh Spurs twenty five and ten, Lakers twenty two and eleven,

738
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 8: Nuggets twenty four and twelve, Rockets twenty two and eleven,

739
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 8: Timberwolves twenty three and thirteen.

740
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're two and.

741
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 8: A half games back of second seeded San Antonio Spurs.

742
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

743
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: I know we're not out of it. And you know

744
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: we've we've played that. While I was away, they lost

745
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: to They lost back to back games the Wolves, including

746
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: a awful loss to the Nets, and the quote from

747
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: from Anthony Edwards was I saved it here. It's really good, Tony,

748
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: he says, Dateline Atlanta. Anthony Edwards declined to speak to

749
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: the media after the Timberwolves' most embarrassing loss of the season,

750
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: won twenty six one oh two to the Atlanta Hawks

751
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, but a singular action of his late in

752
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: the game of his late in the game spoke loud

753
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: and clear about his frustration level in a timeout huddle

754
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: with about eight minutes remaining, Edwards threw his towel in

755
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: the air and walked off the floor. This game four

756
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: days after Edwards threw his jab through this jab after

757
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: his team's low energy, lackluster showing in a loss.

758
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: Of the Brooklyn Nets. I guess this is just Timberwolves basketball.

759
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: I always love that one.

760
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: So that was after the Nets loss, and then they

761
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: lost ended up losing to the Hawks on Wednesday. But

762
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: after it was after the Nets that was where he

763
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: was that Finch decided to pull all the starters from

764
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: the game with seven six, seven minutes to go, and

765
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Edwards was annoyed by that, and and Finch came out

766
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: and said he shouldn't have done that. And I think

767
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Edwards probably knows. But you know, Teneby's young. As we

768
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: like to sy about guys that make mistakes, will they're young.

769
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's young. That's still that McCarthy thing about He

770
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: was told I read something that it took that even

771
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: a bit different. He was told in practice right by

772
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: the head coach. He did the celebration and he said,

773
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: don't do that during the game.

774
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 8: Really he fled it, yeah, in practice, or he bobbled

775
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 8: it or something.

776
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he did it anyway, And you know

777
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: what his comment was, Well, I'm more apt to want

778
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: to do something i'm told not to.

779
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: I saw the quote. It was bizarre.

780
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: So he actually said, I defied when the coach tells

781
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: me to do something, I'm more apt to not do

782
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: what he says to. Now, I don't think he's going

783
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: to call off a play at the line of scrimmage.

784
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he would, I don't.

785
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 8: I will say, like, I feel like JJ or nine

786
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 8: lacks a little self awareness. Maybe it's an immaturity thing,

787
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 8: Like if you're Pat Mahomes, you can go against your

788
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 8: coach like that, right when you haven't done anything in

789
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 8: the National Football League one, you don't tell everyone your

790
00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 8: name is nine.

791
00:39:59,480 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Right.

792
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 8: You don't do that because you haven't accomplished anything yet.

793
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 8: And you also don't acknowledge, Hey, I went against my

794
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 8: coach when you're at the level that he's at. Yeah,

795
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 8: and not only go against your coach, but acknowledge it publicly,

796
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 8: Like it's just he's acting as if he's reached a

797
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 8: certain level yet and he hasn't. Yeah, once you get

798
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 8: to that level, you can get away with some of

799
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 8: that stuff.

800
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 2: That is correct. And again it goes back to the practicing,

801
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: the celebrations. You know, they all do it. You know,

802
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 2: they all have it. I mean the ones that get

803
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: me here.

804
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: When the defense makes a big play, like an interception

805
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: or something, and then the guy that makes the play

806
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: will be running.

807
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: To the end zone.

808
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: He's way even his buddy, come on, come on now,

809
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: we're going to do our little celebration thing. And if

810
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: there's their harmless, I mean, they don't bother me. I

811
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: just they they don't do anything for me, and I'm

812
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: not I'm not former. I'm not against him, know whatever

813
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: they want to do. But yeah, so you shouldn't leave

814
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: the court. And I get it, you're you're frustrated. The

815
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: one thing I will say about and who lives rent free.

816
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: In my head, I think he wants to win and

817
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: he wants to win now. And that's not to suggest

818
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: that the other players don't want to either, but I

819
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: seem to think he gets real frustrated with it. And

820
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I'm going to just have to

821
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: accept I don't like it, and I don't really have

822
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: to accept it, I just I guess I do. I

823
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: just have to accept that the National Basketball Association that's

824
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: just the way it rolls there, you know, because now I.

825
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: Don't know if the Thunder.

826
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: Just we're kind of going through the motions if they

827
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, if they were, because you know the Wolves

828
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: that there have been comments from the Wolves way Anthony

829
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: Edwards a couple of weeks ago said, just seems like

830
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: we don't want to play these games. We just want

831
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: to get right to the playoffs. We're just not interested

832
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: in these games. And we hear about lack of effort

833
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: and doing this and doing that, not being connected and

834
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: trying to play too much hero ball. Maybe all the

835
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: teams do that, all the good teams. I didn't think

836
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: they did. I did think the Thunder were immune to that.

837
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 2: It sure look like it.

838
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: You went a ship last year, you start off with,

839
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're on record at the greatest.

840
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean through twenty some games. They were on pace

841
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: to lose three games, four games.

842
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: Now you knew that probably wasn't gonna hold, but you

843
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: still looked at I look back on the there was

844
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: there was a highlight from one sand and I think

845
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: was the first time San Antonio beat beat Dumb Oklahoma

846
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: City this year.

847
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: When Holmron got a shot block by Wemben Yah.

848
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: How many times does chet holmern get his shot block?

849
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 2: Not often? Because he's seven to one.

850
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Ain't many guys taller than him and the league probably

851
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: the only guy There might be.

852
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: A seven to two guy floating around there somewhere. Well,

853
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: if you're seven to two, you don't flow because you're

854
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: pretty big. But you know what I'm saying.

855
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 8: So, but even like a lot of those seven one

856
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 8: guys can guard him because they're not athletic enough.

857
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: So you can't really put one of those guys out.

858
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, Yeah, that's exactly right.

859
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: So here's a text message that says, I see and

860
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: is listed as questionable tonight.

861
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: Against the Heat with a foot injury.

862
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Is it a foot injury or is it a punishment

863
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: for leaving the basketball court before the game ended.

864
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that it could be.

865
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 8: I don't think they'd hide behind an injury. I don't

866
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 8: think Finch is one of those guys.

867
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't think so either.

868
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: I Aunt has been out with that foot injury thing

869
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: a few times. Do you think Ant doesn't believe in

870
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: load man? Isn't Aunt the guy that doesn't believe in

871
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: load management? He wants to play all the time. So

872
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a load management thing either,

873
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: because I could see. I'm sure teams hide behind that,

874
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: don't they. Ah Ankle's bothering them, because that's why you

875
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: can just say, well, you know, instead of coming out

876
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: and saying yeah, instead of coming out and saying, well, no,

877
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: he's going to take it.

878
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: He's going to get a load management game.

879
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: He's getting a day off because we have to keep

880
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: guys fresh and ready to go once we get to

881
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: postseason play. That's where you know in the NFL to

882
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the last week or two of the season

883
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: can be.

884
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 2: Less than it's the word I'm looking.

885
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: You got Green Bay prime example, And I don't blame

886
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: them love isn't all their best players are on the bench.

887
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: It's like, so, I mean you knew Minnesota was gonna

888
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: win that game, right, I mean that's one of those games. Now,

889
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: the point spread thing, you brought that up yesterday, that

890
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: field goal change of point spread. But if you're just

891
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: betting straight up, that's why I'm not a big points

892
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: spread guy. But I guess that's the only way you

893
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: can legally bet is they all have pointspreads.

894
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 8: Oh you can you can bet them straight up, you

895
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 8: just don't. Oh you don't get the same price. Okay,

896
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 8: you don't get the same price.

897
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, because that would have been a game, Outer

898
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: just said, well, I'm betting on Minnesota. I don't care.

899
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: Brozman ends up going in for the second half.

900
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, because green Bay was not going to the

901
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: head coach of the Vikings wants to win games.

902
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: He thinks it's important to stack those wins going.

903
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Into next year with a good feeling, and green Bays like,

904
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: we've got nothing to gain from playing our starters and.

905
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: You can get bit the Bikings the worst draft pick too. Well,

906
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: that's it, and so.

907
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: And there were other games all across the league the

908
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: last two weeks where there were teams I just don't

909
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: think they were trying.

910
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: But I understand it. You just have to accept that.

911
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: I know there are people that are frustrated with it.

912
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: I'd a friend of mine textman said, you know, a

913
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: NFL at the end of the.

914
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: Season is just a joke. Well, yeah, but.

915
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: If if you're a team, if you're if you're a

916
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: fan of a team that's in postseason play, you'd rather

917
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: have them rest their players than go all out and

918
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: lose two key guys to season ending injuries or at least.

919
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: Even a week or two injuries.

920
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: So anyway, let's do this, let's pause and come back,

921
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: and when we do, the legendary one Mark Rosen will

922
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: join us.

923
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: Next you're on the common Man program on the fan
