Speaker 1: Marccs Recket Reckett.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: I'm here, Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode All the

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: Tailgate right here on KFA, and I'm your host si Onminson,

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: joined by the great Chad Daniels, my co host. Hello, Chatty, Chatty, Chatty.

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: Last week we brought a real positive vibe in what

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: most people believe to be a very negative moment. And

7
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: do I think that we're the reason that we turned

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: it around in greater fashion than any first team since

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 2: what did they say two thousand and nineteen ninety two?

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: J what was it? Tell me the date? Jay decades

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: to have been shut out and then they turn around

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: and shut someone else out. And by the way, our

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: shutout was better than their shutout thirty one versus twenty

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: six out.

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: Do you know that if we combined the last two games,

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: we would have won both of them thirty one to two, won.

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Both of them thirty I just think that a obviously

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: our positivity played a huge role in the win.

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 3: No question, you don't believe in wishful thinking. Think again, by.

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: The way, he just Jay also just said, it's the

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: first time this last two weeks is the first time

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: since ninety two that it was the Broncos. They got

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: shut out one week, and then they shut a team

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: out the next week, And we are airing on a Thursday,

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: and we're on the best sports station in America. So people,

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's been brought up and we're sitting here like,

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: let me tell you something.

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, it's just on repeat for all week.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: But secondly, I think we both know that I am

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: a disgusting enough level of superstitious that I'm gonna probably

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: run a very similar format back this week.

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Let's But here's the thing. It's a lot easier to

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: be positive than it was last week. It's also Cowboy Week,

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: which is such an interesting week for a fan of

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: my generation. You grew up like you're liking my dad's generation, Chad,

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: you grew up with.

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: This shot, your dirty mouth. I grew up when we

39
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: got herschel Walker and they won a bunch of Super Bowls.

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: That's when I was growing up.

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: But genuinely, for the Ado or the fans that are

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: older than us, I think they have this relationship with

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, this negative disdain that I think a lot

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: of people of our generation don't like the Cowboys because

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: you know, the fans everything that goes into it, But

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: for them it's the Hail Mary game sure, and feeling

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: like we got robbed of our best team members. So

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: for our dad's generation, this rivalry hits a lot harder.

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: So when I was talking to my dad about this,

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: he cares more about this game, I think, than I do,

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: even in a season where we are not way up

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: in the standings.

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Right, I care about this game a ton too, because

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: and I don't know if you're going to fact check

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: this or what you're going to say about it, but

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: I heard, okay, I heard also the herschel Walker trade

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: the reason we lost the North Stars. Yeah, they also

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: gave him the North Stars.

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard.

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Norm Green comes down from Calgary, when was it

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one, buys the team, They go and make

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: a Cinderella run ninety three playing the Calgary Flames, end

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: up going down, and he sells the team in ninety

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: five for eighty four million after he bought it for

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: thirty one million. Get out of here.

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Get let's get that conspiracy up on YouTube, because I

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: think it'll run wild.

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: I would love it.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: My dad has told me about that Dallas game because

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: Jay can probably answer the years correctly, but I believe

71
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: it was. It was three super Bowls in four years,

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: so yeah, it would have been the seventy five season.

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: It was the seventy six super Bowl. It's seventy four,

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: seventy five. They don't go in seventy six, they go

75
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: in seventy seven. And I recently got to spend some

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: time with Fran Tarkentin, which this Chad, this dude is wild.

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: He is so impressive. He's eighty five years old. He

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: seems younger than you. And I'm not even doing a

79
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Chad's old joke. I'm just saying he is more cognitively

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: available than I believe you are.

81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Oh, no question.

82
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: His recall. He sits and tells stories, and he does

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: that thing in each story. Well, he'll tell a story

84
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: and he'll mention a quarterback and to be like he

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: was drafted here and he did that, and you're like,

86
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: how do you I don't know what car we came

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: here in? How do you know this stuff?

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: And that game is like this really interesting, remarkable moment.

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: And Fran had said that he believes that was their

91
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: best team. It's the year, you know, It's the year

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: they're looking, You're great, but it's to the point a Chuck,

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, Drew Pearson and Chuck Foreman. They got into

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: an argument, like like a real argument on the local

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: radio station here kf An. It's that is for that generation,

96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: this is such a heated vibe. And I think for

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: our generation, all we think about is like you remember

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: when Randy Moss went down there in Thanksgiving and smacked

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: the turkey out of their mouths. That is my only

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: connection to the Cowboys. I have no vitriol, I have

101
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: no nothing except for what was genetically passed down.

102
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: I mean I I here's what I have. I remember

103
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: watching herschel Walker and thinking like this is this is

104
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: the greatest athlete in the whole wide world. Yes, And

105
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: then they were like, we're gonna trade a bunch of

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: stuff for him, and I was like, yes, please, I was.

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: I was, you know, like my dad and his friends

108
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: were all mad, and I'm just like you guys, sit

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: and wait for it.

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: People who don't remember the origin story, you were a

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: herschel Walker fame, right, That's like one of the things

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: that was keeping you a football fan as a little kid.

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: Right.

114
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: So when they made that trade, like what did that

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: do to you?

116
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: Like you?

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: There couldn't have been anybody more confident in anything than that.

118
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I was so excited. Ninety two Fergus Fall's otters

119
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: go down to the Metrodome to play, and I remember

120
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: that I had just quit the year before because I

121
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: was like, I was a receiver and they wouldn't throw

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: the ball, and so I started boxing, And so I

123
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: got to go down and watch all my friends play

124
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: on the field that herschel Walker played on. It was

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: pretty unbelievable. But I named my first car herschel Walker.

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Anytime there was a snowdrift that people were having trouble with,

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: I would just take my nineteen eighty Dodge Omni made

128
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: of complete metal and bust through it, and everyone in

129
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: the car would yell herschel Walker. I mean it was.

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: Crazy, yeah, and much like that Dodge Omni, it didn't

131
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: pan out. But those are the three pivot moments Drew

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Pearson push you know, the Hail Mary that play, the

133
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: invention of the Hail Mary, the herschel Walker trade, and

134
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Randy Moss smacking the turkey. What I will say about

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys fans is I find them to despite me not

136
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: having any vitriol towards the team. I find them to

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: be one of my least favorite groups.

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: Really, Oh man, I got a whole bunch on top

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: of the Cowboy fans, but keep going.

140
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: But it's not a personal thing. I just have one

141
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: really close friend who's a die hard Cowboy fan, and

142
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: through him, I know a lot of Cowboy fans, and

143
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: I think each I've said this a lot on the show,

144
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: each fan base has their own kind of personality, right

145
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: Like Pittsburgh Steelers fans literally believe that they worked hard

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: to earn their team. They think that they act like

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: they manual labored a football team into existence. The Steelers

148
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: down at the factory and nets so welcome to steel City.

149
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: Baby Packers fans are like the trust fund kids who

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: crashed the car and the next day their daddy gets

151
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: them a new car. But they think everybody is mean

152
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: to them. They got a victim complex.

153
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: They also think they own their team. And I know

154
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people are about to crash their cars

155
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: right now listening to this, but you don't if you

156
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: do make a trade.

157
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, Bill's fans, now we could talk about fan base.

158
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: I like Bill's fans are like your wildest uncle at Thanksgiving. Yeah,

159
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: and I'm not talking about like the political discussions that

160
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: are often talked about in pop culture around thanks Eving.

161
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm talking about that uncle that you had that You're like,

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna happen this year. Is he

163
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: gonna show up with six dogs for some reason, Willie

164
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: park his truck on the lawn?

165
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

166
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: What's he gonna say to my aunt at dinner?

167
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: Like, they're your buddy that started drinking sophomore year, and

168
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: they were like, I bet you I could run through

169
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: this brick wall. It doesn't matter if I die. It's

170
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: gonna snow too much tomorrow. That's a that's a Bills fan.

171
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: So they are a wild card uncle. But I find

172
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: the Cowboy.

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: Fans are a lot like we both grew up in

174
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: small towns and I'm ready to get the messages from this.

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: But Cowboy fans are like the forty two year old

176
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: that's wearing his letterman jacket to the diner.

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's Texas football anyways.

178
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: Dude, the guy who is twenty five and was still

179
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: picking up like seniors to go bowling, You're like, you

180
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: gotta let you're coasting acting cool all that coolness happens

181
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: so long ago. Just because you put the jacket on

182
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you were a part of the Troy

183
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: Aikman thing. You gotta so like their superiority complex being

184
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: based on so far in the past and so many

185
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: teams being so good sense and them not having done anything.

186
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: Is this one friend in particular who does listen to

187
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: this show and you can eat it, Eddie. It is

188
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: a tough thing to be around.

189
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a lot of Uncle Rico's cheering for

190

214
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: welcome back Simons and Chad Daniels. It's Cowboys week. Lost

215
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: in the whole Chad, we we got shut out and

216
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: then we shut somebody. Is a fun development for me,

217
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: and it is the rise of the defense. Oh yeah,

218
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: you know, obviously the big discrepancy and turnovers from last

219
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: year to this year. But man, Washington, you know they're

220
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: not a nothing burger, and how well they played even

221
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: in that loss in Seattle. I just think you're seeing

222
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: some things that are remind you why whether you know

223
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: we end up getting there, which it's looking bleak or not,

224
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: But like, why so many people had such positive feelings

225
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: about the team going into the season when you see

226
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: that full defense. Of course, healthy Andrew van Ginkel is

227
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: an absolute beast. This dude might be when you just

228
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: watch him. I did this a couple of times on Sunday,

229
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: like when they had the wide screen. I was like,

230
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna watch Andrew van gin I'm not even

231
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: gonna watch the play, and he just moves like somebody

232
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: who has studied more for one game than I've studied

233
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: for everything total in my whole life.

234
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't do many impersonations, but here's my impersonations

235
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: of offensive coordinators when they're playing the Vikings when Van

236
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: Ginkle is healthy. Okay, guys, no screen passes this week,

237
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: thank you? That's it. Those are my notes.

238
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 2: Hey, how does this guy keep plucking them? And b

239
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: how are you not aware of that? Yeah? I Or

240
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: how about let's strow the screen pass? You know, let's

241
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: just take an extra two yards backwards. I know it's

242
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: a backward pass. If he drops it, it's but this

243
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: dude's gonna pick it off. If we d have to

244
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: clar forward on a screen we got to stop doing that.

245
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: It's incredible. I was watching the Vikings game with I'm

246
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: gonna tell you, a very negative human being, and it's

247
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: it's fun to see a defense that's so good that's

248
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 3: actually making negative people positive because I remember Washington's offense

249
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: comes out and you're like, what's going to happen and

250
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: my buddy goes, no, no, no, watch this and it

251
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: was right three and out. I mean it's like, so

252
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: this defense is turning people into believers. And then as

253
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: far as Minnesota sports fans go, that is a very

254
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: hard thing to do.

255
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: And it's an excellent opportunity because you got this week.

256
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: I believe Dallas is the number one overall offense. I

257
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: believe they're the number one passing offense. I think the

258
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: Vikings are like the number four against the past. Regardless

259
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: of what happens the rest of the year, this is

260
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: your you know, what's the defense going to look like

261
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: next year? Some of these guys that some people had

262
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: hard feelings about, Let's let's see. Let's see now that

263
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: everybody's playing well, how they hold up against the best

264
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: offense in the league from a passing standpoint. And I

265
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: cannot quit. I've been telling people to chill out on

266
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 2: these harsh Dallas Turner takes. I think he's twenty one.

267
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: He was three years younger than Jared Verse. He still

268
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: today is younger than most of the guys drafted that

269
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: you all were mad about that he wasn't playing as

270
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: well as in a way more difficult defense. He's got

271
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: some crazy amount of hurries, pressure sacks in the last

272
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Chad, I've been saying, what you really need.

273
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: What did we talk about last offseason was the trenches.

274
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: If you walk out of this year and Donovan Jackson

275
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: is as good as I think he is and Dallas

276
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: Turner comes alive as I think he's going to, that

277
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: is a launching pad for the future. It is where

278
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: football is won. If Donovan jack is that good and

279
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: you got him and darisof for the future and you

280
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: can partner Dallas Turner with Van Ginko and Grenade, let's go. Yeah, Like,

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: all this negativity that I myself have even been feeling

282
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: flips real quick and we.

283
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: Can see, Yeah, we can see most of these guys

284
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: this Sunday night against Dallas, And I'm just so excited

285
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: because I don't think I had seen the double duce

286
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith come in from the edge so many times

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: as he did last week. Maybe he has been, maybe

288
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: I'm just not paying attention, but it was so fun

289
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: to see him scaring the hell out of the quarterback,

290
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: and I think, I think it's gonna be great. Now.

291
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something. Let me ask you. This

292
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: is CD Lamb. Is he out of concussion protocol? I

293
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: don't pay attention anymore to other teams players because I'm

294
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: out of my fantasy football playoffs, even though I destroyed

295
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: everybody in my division, but my record wasn't going to

296
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: off Jamaica.

297
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm telling you, come to the dark side,

298
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: join the chop. Become a guillotine League guy. We can

299
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: get I bet Zach Martine would do it. I bet

300
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: our boy Bozeman would do it. Tim Harmston, all people

301
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: who've been on the show, we could have a Vikings

302
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: Tailgate Fantasy League guillotine style. You got to stop playing

303
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: this regular fantasy football. It's for Schman.

304
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: Answer my question.

305
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Jay can tell us if I mean we're putting a

306
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: lot of pressure on Jay today. I'm just spitting Jay.

307
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Do our job, Jay, go learn our stuff. Find out

308
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: about Ceedee Lamb. I I hope he's not in concussion protocol.

309
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: I want it.

310
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: I want to see it.

Speaker 1: I want to I want it to be. Give me

312
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: all your web best, yes, give us the number. I'm

313
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: trying to see where we're going from this point forward.

314
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: Give me the best team in the offense or in

315
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: the league that's the best at throwing the football.

316
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: Completely agree.

317
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: Lamb is listed on the per Jay on the latest

318
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: report right a day before this show comes out. It'll

319
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: come out tomorrow morning, and this is he's listed as

320
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: limited limited. Now, I think this is going to be

321
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: a big week for Justin Jefferson. Can I make the case?

322
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? So he had so two catches for eleven yards

323
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: last week. Frustration, but I got Can I tell you

324
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: something that I'm very impressed with? Or tell it other

325
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: people are catching the ball in the end zone and

326
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: he is one of the first people over there smacking

327
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: butts and hitting helmets, and I mean it's very impressive.

328
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: Everyone's talking about always so frustrated this and that he's

329
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: also obviously a huge team leader.

330
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 2: It was very clear last week, even for a stupid

331
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: guy like me who doesn't know football, that they were like,

332
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson is not going to beat us. I mean,

333
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: when you have that many tight end receptions and touchdowns,

334
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: it's very obvious they are taking something away. I don't

335
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: know that you're going to see that exact same approach.

336
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: If I'm a defensive coordinator, I'm not doing that. I

337
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: think if you try, this team is too good that

338
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: if you put all that effort in, KOs is too

339
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: good of a play caller. And last week's seeing JJ

340
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: just drop back first read open guy and at the

341
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: end of the game, they were trying to get him

342
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: a touch, they were trying to get him some love,

343
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: and so I think he is going to absolutely eat

344
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: I know we're not at the prediction section yet, but

345
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: I'm talking seven eight nine catches, one hundred and fifteen

346
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: to one hundred and forty yards and a touchdown or two.

347
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: I think Justin Jefferson, especially with Cedee Lamb on the

348
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: other side of the field, I think whatever these last

349
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 2: few weeks have been, I think you're gonna see the

350
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: cup boil over.

351
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: I can't wait. I'm gonna go ahead and write this

352
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: down and I'm gonna give this to everybody I know

353
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: that has Jefferson in their league still that made the playoffs.

354
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: And you're doing that because you just want to push

355
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: me under the bus if it doesn't happen, because that's

356
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: what it feels like. You're saying, I.

357
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 3: Love sending people your way when you're.

358
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, am I winning you over with my case?

359
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I mean you you can tell right with these

360
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: little these little stop routes right on the sideline that

361
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: they're trying to get him, you know, the ball immediately

362
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: and then let him be an athlete. You know, it's

363
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: like tight ends going across the field. It's like body

364
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: shots in boxing. Right, You're just like chopping the tree

365
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: down and eventually they're gonna have to they're gonna have

366
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: to guard their their trunk and then you just throw

367
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: a haymaker. And that's Jefferson for seventy.

368
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: I would love I would love a seventy in the

369
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: end zone. I just think you just I don't care

370
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: how much you're struggling. I don't care what sort of

371
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: offensive line. Justin Jefferson is just too good. There's gonna

372
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: be a point where it doesn't matter who's throwing the ball,

373
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: who's protecting the person throwing the ball. You just it's

374
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: just gonna bubble over. I'm just guaranteeing it. What do

375
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: you can we do? Uh, let's just jump right into it.

376
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: Let's do predictions. Let me get your score, let me

377
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: get your player prediction, and then we'll do the personal predictions.

378
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: Now, as you know, we were shut out two weeks

379
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: ago and then we applied a shutout this last week.

380
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: So I'm going to say that I don't think we

381
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 3: can do two shutouts in a row. So I'm going

382
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 3: to go with Cowboys one somehow, Minnesota Vikings fifteen hundred.

383
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume they'll get a safety and then they'll

384
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: take one of those points away for excessive celebration or

385
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: some new rule we're not aware. Yeah, smart, I think

386
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are a much better offense than you're giving

387
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: them credit. I'm going to go Cowboys three, Vikings one

388
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen nice. Yeah, And I'm gonna stick with Jefferson.

389
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to say I'm going to say it's the

390
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: breakout Jefferson game. It's the game where everybody sees he

391
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: and the quarterback on the same page. I'm all in

392
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: on Jefferson.

393
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 3: All right, I'm going to go with the entire offensive

394
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: line giving up one sack or less.

395
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: Ooh, enjoy that me too.

396
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: I can't wait for it to come true.

397
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: Personal prediction. I am in the final four of Paul

398
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: the League with the great Paul Charchin. He got kicked

399
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: out very early, but I've never been to the final

400
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: four in a chop league before. I've taken it a

401
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: level of serious that is pathetic. And yes, the biggest

402
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: spend all year of my free agency fictional dollars was

403
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: on Justin Jefferson a few weeks back. And so I'm

404
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: predicting either my other prediction comes true and I'm just

405
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: an awesome guy to be around, or it doesn't come

406
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: true and I'm a really tough guy to be around on.

407
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: A lot of levels. My personal prediction is Jefferson gets

408
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 3: all your points, but you still take fourth.

409
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: Ah, that would suck. Appreciate you doing the show. I

410
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: would really like that not to come true. Thank you
