1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Ezekiel twenty five seventeen. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: The path of the righteous man is beset on all 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: sides by the inequities of the selfish. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: And the tyranny of evil men. 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 2: Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: name is the law when I lay my vengeance upon thee. 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: I say, do. 13 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 3: I'm so. 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Whatever you won't do is an all. 15 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: So friend. I want to spend month life. 16 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: I did not hear a minute of Vikings Football Sunday, 17 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 3: but I'm assuming I should say Gophers Football Sunday. It 18 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: was extremely celebratory in the wake of the Golden Gophers 19 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: annihilation of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Yes, I was in the 26 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: zone exactly. 27 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: It just in time for the start of the National 28 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: Basketball Association season, which is finally almost upon us. 29 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 4: Right this week, right around the corner Wednesdays for the 30 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 4: for the wolfesay, who do we open against Portland? The 31 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 4: Portland Trailblazers. Sneaky they are. Don't sleep on the Blazers. 32 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 4: I'm telling you, don't. Don't do that. 33 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: We can't do that anymore. 34 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: Everybody's coming after well not everybody's I guess everybody's coming 35 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: after Oklahoma City, but a lot of teams may be 36 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 3: coming after us. We will talk some Gophers, we will 37 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: talk obviously National Football League, the Vikings and Eagles right 38 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: here in the fan pregame show will start at ten 39 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: o'clock this very morning. We'll take text via the Bradshawn 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: Bryant KFE and text line. 41 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: At six four six eight six. 42 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: But since there's just there's just been a full hour 43 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: on the Gophers, let's start with trying to set the 44 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: table for Vikings versus the Philadelphia Eagles. I here's what's 45 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: interesting to me about Oh, there's a lot of good 46 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: talking points regarding this game, a lot of good matchup questions. 47 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: When we looked back before the season began and we 48 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: looked ahead at the schedule, I think, like a lot 49 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: of people, we thought this was the start of the 50 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: meteor part of the schedule. It still may well be 51 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: that that might well be the case, but it's also 52 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: possible that we've seen some vulnerability. In the case of 53 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: the Eagles, the Chargers do maybe do not look as 54 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: good as they started. 55 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: So you know, who's to say. 56 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: I still think you're facing some good quarterbacks and some 57 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: good teams that have I think deserve a bit of 58 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: the benefit of the doubt. But this is kind of 59 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: what occurred to me. As much as we've talked quarterbacks 60 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: and you know who's going to start, who should start, 61 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: When does JJ come back, all of that stuff, it's endless, 62 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: right the speculation on it. I think we should start 63 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 3: talking a little bit about defense. First. The Vikings defense, 64 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: in terms of points allowed, has really not been all 65 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: that bad. They've they've not done two things that I 66 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: think are important, though there have been stretches where they've 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: allowed the other team to just keep possessing the football 68 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: and even if it doesn't end up in touchdowns, it 69 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: does prevent your offense from having the ball. And the 70 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: other thing we've not done very well is handled the run, 71 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: and obviously today at Saquon Barkley. So this seems to 72 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: be the test is the Eagles. Has the Eagles ground 73 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: game regressed and if it has, will we get further 74 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: evidence of it today? Or do the Eagles just need 75 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: to come up against a running defense that's been very 76 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: mediocre to this point. That's obviously going to be a 77 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: key factor. But I want to talk about quarterbacks. The 78 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: Vikings record I think is three and two. Is that correct, Max? 79 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 3: We're three and two at this point, that is correct. 80 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 4: Okay, can you name the three quarterbacks we've beaten so 81 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: far this season? Can you name them? I try to 82 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 4: put you on the spot. Michael Pennix Junior. 83 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got it annihilated by that. They lost or 84 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: they beat Jake Browning. 85 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: They beat Jake Browning, who is what a backup backup? 86 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 4: They beat Dylan Gabriel who is also a backup backup, 87 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 4: and they beat Caleb Williams. Okay, he's a starter. 88 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, And it's actually played in the last 89 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: few weeks better. I think it's fair to say, but 90 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: I don't think he had a guy who's established himself 91 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: as a great National Football League quarterback, and today they're 92 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: playing a great quarterback who lately hasn't played like it. 93 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: That's another interesting question to me. Is he regressing? Is 94 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: the Eagles passing game regressing? Or are we going to 95 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: be reminded today of how effective Jalen Hurts can be. 96 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: We have not beaten anybody at the quarterback position. That's 97 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: the moral of the story. This is we said from 98 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: when the schedule curse came out the first stretch of games. 99 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: Now we didn't know obviously Cincinnati was gonna have to 100 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: go with their backup. But the fact is we really 101 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: haven't been tested at all at the quarterback position in 102 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: any meaningful way in the games that we have won. 103 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: Now there's a chance that will change today. Can we 104 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: do something about that? Is there already enough doubt in 105 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: the minds of Jalen Hurts and other members of this offense, 106 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: the Eagles offense, that the Vikings can then take care 107 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: of business today. 108 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. 109 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 3: I just feel like this is the first time we're 110 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: playing a legitimate quarterback now we've played Aaron Rodgers, who 111 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: is legit. We lost that game. Panix is not really 112 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: established yet as a great quarterback. We weren't even competitive 113 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: in that game, although that was largely because they ran 114 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: the ball up and down the field on us with 115 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: maybe the best running back right now in football. So 116 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: that to me is what makes this compelling, and it's 117 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: part of the reason why I was never going to 118 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: be happy with three and two through five games, especially 119 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: given the quarterback list we really have not We really 120 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: don't know what this defense is yet because the quarterbacks 121 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: they have faced and beaten largely have been average to back. 122 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: Them, will we get some of those answers today? I 123 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: hope we do. 124 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: As I mentioned Brad Shawn Brian Cafe in text line 125 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: is six four six eight six. By the way, it 126 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: is official. Cashman is back. I don't think Van ginkle is. 127 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: I've not seen anything on him because a Texter has 128 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: asked about that. Cashman being back, though, is huge, one 129 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: would think, speaking of that this team's inability to handle 130 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: the ground game. Also, I where is the stat that 131 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: alec Lewis had today that got my attention? 132 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: Let me see if I can thank that has confirmed out. 133 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: That's what I thought. He had a stat that I 134 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: guess I had not been paying attention to. Let me 135 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: see if I can find it having to do with 136 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: with takeaways. Let me see if I can. 137 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: Find it. 138 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: Okay, here's the here's the Alex Lewis stat on turnovers 139 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: for offense. Vikings have turned them all over nine times 140 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 3: this season thus far, that's the third most in the 141 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 3: National Football League, and since koc took over in twenty 142 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: twenty two, the Vikings have committed eighty seven turnovers. That's 143 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: the third most in the league, behind the Cleveland Browns 144 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis Colts. 145 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: That surprised me a little bit. I didn't. 146 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: I wasn't aware of that stati. If I was, I'd 147 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: kind of forgotten about it. And look, the game changes 148 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: every year. 149 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: It gets more sophisticated and complicated blah blah. 150 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: Blah every year. 151 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: But turning the ball over will still kill you no 152 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: matter how sophisticated. 153 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Your offense can be. It becomes the great equalizer. 154 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: It helps maybe lesser teams knock you off, it helps 155 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: better teams have an even easier time in knocking you off. 156 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: So and the Vikings defense at its best last year 157 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: was a takeaway machine. 158 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: Not so much this year. We had one great takeaway game. 159 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: In fact, I think most of our takeaways were in 160 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 4: one game, the Bengals game. 161 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and other those of them have been from one person, that's. 162 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: True, who maybe has a little revenge factor going today. 163 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 3: So that's another thing I think to keep an eye 164 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: on today. Can the defen because one of the ways 165 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: a defense is giving up yardage can nullify some of 166 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: that is good good takeaways giving the ball back to 167 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 3: the offense, especially if you do it in the other 168 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: team's territory in a good scoring opportunity. So all those 169 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: things I think are interesting subplots to today's game. The 170 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 3: last spread I saw this is still the Eagles by 171 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: a one and a half. Let me double check what 172 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: the latest is on that. By the way, if my 173 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: prediction capabilities are any indication the Vikings might be in 174 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: trouble today, because I have the Vikings winning and I 175 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: had the Golden Golphers losing to Nebraska. 176 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 4: So I'm saying everywhere from one and a half to 177 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: two and a half two and a half, okay, fair enough. 178 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: So, uh Friday, when we did the picks, I had 179 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: a pretty good feeling that the Vikings could rise up 180 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 3: a little bit today. I know they're gonna there's no question. 181 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: I think with Cashman back their ground, their run defense 182 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: should be better. I have to believe that Bflow has 183 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: spent the whole week concentrating on it, because I don't 184 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: think Saquon Barkley suddenly forgets how to run. And I 185 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: don't think he's too old yet where they say suddenly 186 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: the tread on the running back tire, it catches up 187 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 3: with you and and you're not the same player. I 188 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 3: find that difficult to believe. And there's one other cautionary 189 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: note here. The Eagles seem to be one of those 190 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: teams that thrives on I don't want to say disaster, 191 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 3: but on controversy, on internal strife. There are teams that 192 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: implode when those things happen. It feels like the Eagles 193 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: almost live for it. There were several stretches last year 194 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: right where it looked like they were coming apart, and 195 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: how did it end for them? So and by the way, 196 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 3: how did they win in the end? Great play at 197 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: the line o scrimmage And maybe that's the last point 198 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: we should make. But here before the first break is 199 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 3: that in the end. As much as we can talk 200 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: about Saquon Barkley and quarterback position and who the Vikings 201 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: have faced at the position, whatever, the games tend to 202 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: be determined by what happens at the line of scrimmage. 203 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: That was certainly the case Friday night when Minnesota just 204 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: utterly and completely destroyed another in an endless series of 205 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: overrated Nebraska Cornhusker teams. When will I learn, I swear 206 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: to God, I never learn to just not trust the 207 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 3: buzz that. 208 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: Nope, this Nebraska team's different. 209 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: There's something different about them. Line play told the story 210 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: of that game without any question. Remember, the Gophers went 211 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: into the Nebraska game every bit as concerned about their 212 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 3: own ground game as you could say the Vikings in 213 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: terms of consistency on the ground, in terms of handling 214 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: the ground game, and what happened in the In that game, 215 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: for the first time this year against a meaningful opponent, 216 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: Minnesota had no difficulty running the football. It was largely 217 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: what what the straw that stir that that stirred the drink, So. 218 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: We said, I. 219 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: Mean both teams have had the Vikings and the Gophers 220 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: similar difficulties stopping the run. 221 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: Gophers did a great job of that. 222 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 3: Maybe the Vikings can can gain some inspiration from that 223 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: as well. But in the end, line play, more than 224 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: whatever skill you have, ends up telling the tale. In 225 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 3: other words, if the Eagles get their defensive pressure back 226 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 3: of the line of scrimmage, well it's going to be 227 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 3: a long day for Carson Wentz or if guards he 228 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: has his way Max Brosmer before the day is done. 229 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: Let's face it, that's what ends up happening. 230 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: If the Eagles offensive line open some holes for Saquon Barkley, 231 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: Barkley is going to be Barkley, right, So in the end, 232 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: it's meat and potatoes that largely will tell the tale. 233 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: Despite all the other interesting subplots involved with this club, we'll. 234 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: Get into some texts. 235 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit more about the 236 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: Gopher victory and the ramifications of it against Nebraska on 237 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: Friday night, and we'll get into some other National Football 238 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: League items, maybe a little basketball. I don't know if 239 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: we should talk any hockey. Minnesottle Wild still having a 240 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: one on this road trip. They're patting themselves in the 241 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: back for a much better performance than the Yellow Bellied 242 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: Pig like effort the game before. But an L is 243 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: still an L no matter how you look at it. 244 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: So maybe dive into that a little bit and get 245 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 3: into a couple of other controversies before we wrap it up. 246 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: At ten. 247 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: It's a one hour edition of Sunday Sermons heading into 248 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: a Vikings Football Sunday. 249 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Dan. Two things. 250 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 3: One, after defeating Nebraska, should we be negotiating with PG 251 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: on a lifetime contract? 252 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: Two? Do you have information on where we can get 253 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: our commemorative print? No? 254 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: I don't think you have to worry about the lifetime deal. 255 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: I don't think you have to get silly about it. 256 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: But I will tell you that it looked to me. 257 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: I watched pretty much every minute of the game Friday night, 258 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: and I kept waiting, do you know what? 259 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: Well? 260 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: Again, I understand when you're doing a when you're a 261 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: national announcer and you're preparing for a local game, so 262 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 3: to speak, or a game matching two teams in this 263 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: case from University of Minnesota and Nebraska, that you develop 264 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 3: themes right, story angles, talkability items going into that game, 265 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: and even to sustain during the game. But can we 266 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: please stop with the Patrick Mahomes obsession as it pertains 267 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: to the Nebraska quarterback. 268 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember his name. You might have it Dylan, Honest. 269 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: To god, I just, first of all, I think it's 270 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: downright creepy the way that Rayola copies in the huddle 271 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: between plays, the Mahomes like his arms up in the air, 272 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: and the whole thing is strange to me. 273 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: It's like, but. 274 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: Beyond that, just because every once in a while, as 275 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: in the first half of that game, Rayola does pull 276 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 3: off a couple of nice circus plays. We're saying at halftime, 277 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, I don't know. 278 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: What you're talking about, and. 279 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the score, but I'm saying, they have 280 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: six points. How about the other overthrows, the nine overthrows, 281 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: how about holding onto the ball for twelve seconds? Stop 282 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: with the Mahomes stuff. 283 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: It's just so bizarre to me. 284 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: And even if I understand going in he's been really 285 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: good in the fourth quarter and he's got circus aspect 286 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: to what he does, but then you just sort of 287 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: watch it with a clear eye and you go, man, 288 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: he he misses a lot of plays and he didn't 289 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: have help from his offensive line. That's where I do 290 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: give Also, the Gopher coaching staff credit. They had a 291 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: very good plan against him, and what I've been told 292 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 3: is they like getting the rid of the ball quick. 293 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: I didn't see that attempt at all, other than maybe 294 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 3: the Gophers knew it and were sitting down on all 295 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 3: the short patterns and he didn't have any place to go. 296 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 3: I don't know, but the announcers seemed to keep waiting 297 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: because they had it. It was on the on my 298 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: legal pad. Fourth quarter, that's that's that's this kid's time. 299 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 3: Watch out, and demonstrably that's been true in some games. 300 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 3: But watch the game in front of you, pay attention 301 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 3: to what's going on on this night, and there was 302 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: frankly nothing I think that said whole thing's going to turn. 303 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 3: In the fourth quarter, Nebraska was dominated. This was one 304 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 3: of the few times in recent memory. I came away 305 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: from a game saying Minnesota utterly and completely out coached 306 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: their opponent, and in terms of execution, utterly and completely 307 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: outplayed their opponent as well. It was the most complete 308 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 3: victory I think for Minnesota in quite a while. It 309 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: was an outstanding performance. Now again, we may come to 310 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 3: learn that Nebraska. Nebraska's one of those schools because of 311 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: their previous glory. Everybody's constantly waiting for their back say 312 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: they're finally figuring it out. They I think, had moved 313 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: up to be ranked twenty fifth in the country, and 314 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 3: I think because people want it so much, they project 315 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: more greatness into them than is really there. Now, maybe 316 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 3: they'll turn around and win the rest of their games 317 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 3: this season. I don't know, but that did not look 318 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: like a top twenty five team to me, didn't even 319 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: look like a represent team. Now, maybe Minnesota had something 320 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: to do with that. As I said, I thought the 321 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 3: the the nine minute drive we had in the second half, 322 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 3: starting in the basically in our end zone, was clinical. 323 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: And what you saw from our quarterback and what you saw, 324 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 3: I think from the Gopher offense was getting rid of the. 325 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: Ball on time. 326 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: And there were for me, too many plays when Rayola 327 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: just he may not have had a lot of places 328 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 3: to go for it, but then move around a little bit, 329 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 3: find to try to find a way to buy some time. 330 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: Have you ever heard have they ever run a screen 331 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: pass in Nebraska? If you have the kind of pass 332 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: rush that the Gophers were fashioning, it was very good. 333 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 3: I mean, at least give yourself, let's try it. I mean, 334 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 3: let's see they're getting through anyway, so let's let them 335 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 3: continue to get through, and let's see what we get 336 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: behind it on a screen or something. I didn't see 337 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 3: any of that, so I thought, you know, it was 338 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: comical to hear, Well, we all know the guy who 339 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: runs Nebraska, he's Penn State. You know, he's a Penn 340 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 3: State guy. And I'm thinking, if I'm Penn State, if 341 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: I'm a Penn State fan, do I am I inspired 342 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: after a game like that to throw the book, to 343 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: pay whatever it's necessary to get this coach? And I 344 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 3: know it's one game, but it was so thorough and 345 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: so one sided. I would if I would have great 346 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 3: concern about that as well. Interesting text came and this 347 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 3: is from Chris and this actually looks like this came 348 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 3: in actually during Gopher football Sunday with guardsy beat an 349 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 3: ordinary Cal team and stay within thirty of OSU, and 350 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 3: a win like that would have us talking playoff frustrating. 351 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: That's going to be the interesting story moving forward. 352 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: I looked upon this Gopher season as an opportunity perhaps 353 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: to be the Indiana of twenty twenty five, because especially 354 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 3: the home schedule looked very inviting a lot of winnable 355 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 3: games even when you got to the Big Ten, and 356 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 3: then you had the two really tough games on the 357 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: road Ohio State and Oregon, where you say, well, you 358 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 3: might be able to lose both of those games and 359 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: still be in the mix if you run the table 360 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 3: on everything else. Well, that's where I hope the Gophers 361 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: don't come to regret losing to a very beatable cal 362 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 3: team on the road, and you can argue, what do 363 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: you have to stay a little closer to Ohio State 364 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: than they did? Not a lot of people are staying 365 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 3: all that close to Ohio State. We'll see, but I 366 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: do think the victory Friday gives them the opportunity to 367 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: sort of reclaim the season, right. It's one of those 368 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: victories that you can sort of change the perception of 369 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: a team. When you play that well and you win 370 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 3: that thoroughly against another Big Ten team that was ranked 371 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 3: again ranked five fifth, they'll not be ranked any longer, 372 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: I wouldn't think at this point. But I hope that 373 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 3: was my concern about losing the Cow game originally was 374 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: squandering you know, the big thing from PJ in the 375 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 3: offseason was take the lid off the jar as if 376 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 3: be delusional, as if we why can't we be Indiana 377 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. That's there's some truth to that, 378 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 3: but that pretty much to me meant you were going 379 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: to have to run the table, including a victory over Cow. 380 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: So we will have to to see. But they were. 381 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: That was a that was a well played from a 382 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 3: Minnesota standpoint, a very well played game. 383 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: And I will never this is my vow. 384 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 3: I will never be talked into believing that Nebraska might 385 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 3: be on the verge of something taking a step up 386 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: any longer. 387 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: I just won't do it. I will literally have to. 388 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 3: I will wait until they go through an entire season, 389 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 3: get into the ball champ the National Championship Series, and 390 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: fashion a record of like ten and two or something 391 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 3: like that. I'm not gonna believe it any longer because 392 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: we've been down this road. How many times have we 393 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: been down this road with Nebraska that you know what, 394 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: there's something different going on this year? Did it look 395 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 3: like anything different was going I mean, were they even 396 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 3: ready to. 397 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: Play that game? 398 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 3: They were never in that football game. The only exception 399 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: one long pass that was a good Rayla throw got dropped. 400 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: But other than that, I just didn't think it was. 401 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 3: It was a mismatch. I don't know how much of 402 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: it you saw. 403 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to I got a chance to check 404 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: out a little bit of it, and it just kind 405 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: of like you were alluding to it. If I like 406 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 4: Nebraska just had a little too much dip on their chip. 407 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 4: They're like, Hey, we got Patrick Mahomes, we got the 408 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 4: guy that everyone in college football wants. We have one 409 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 4: of the top passing attacks in the nation. We're in Nebraska. 410 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 4: We're just gonna come through as guards. He was talking 411 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 4: about in Gopher football review, some analysts were saying they 412 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 4: were going to come in and score forty points and 413 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 4: run the Gophers out of the stadium. And not only 414 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 4: was it essentially the reverse, they got dominated, they weren't 415 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: in it for a second, but like you were talking about, 416 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: Dylan Reyola looked super unimpressive. A lot of those sacks 417 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 4: were covered sacks against a makeshift Gopher secondary that was 418 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 4: dealing with a bunch of different injuries heading into that game. 419 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 4: And then you get sacked eight different times in general 420 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 4: and thoroughly outplayed by the Gophers offense, which has been bumpy, 421 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: to say the least throughout the season. So I just 422 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: thought it was a really impressive performance and I like 423 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 4: the way that you said it. 424 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: It can reclaim the season. 425 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: Now. It felt like another season that was spiraling down 426 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: the drain into same old, same old. You know, people 427 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: aren't gonna turn on PJ. Fleck or anything. They love PJ. Fleck, 428 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 4: but it just kind of felt like people are already 429 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 4: getting disinterested in. 430 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, another meandering season where you win an you know, 431 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: you win one and then you lose one and then 432 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 3: maybe you win two, but you don't have anything that 433 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 3: that feels more like signature. 434 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you go to the Raised Barbecue Sauce Bowl. 435 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 4: You know, you play some team that got in because 436 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 4: of their grades, and that's another season that you can 437 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 4: kind of say, I guess was a success, but you 438 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 4: didn't go anywhere. But now, moving forward, they have a 439 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 4: real chance to make a significant step forward. 440 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: And to do that, though, you know, there's no rest 441 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: for the. 442 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 3: Wicked because or the weary, because I think we were 443 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 3: in Iowa this week and I don't even think the 444 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 3: game time has been set yet. No, I think TV 445 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: and how that works, TV decides at the last minute. 446 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 3: But that's that's sort of a game again. And that's 447 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 3: a tough place to win, as even Indiana found out. 448 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 3: But you gotta you sort of gotta win it, you 449 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: know that. That's if you're gonna build on what this 450 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 3: seems to represent. 451 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: That's what you gotta go do. 452 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 3: Because I certainly don't think it's an unbeatable Iowa team. 453 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: They're they're plucky, they make things interesting. They just beat 454 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 3: Penn Penn State's and now lost I think four in 455 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: a row. When's the last time Penn State Nitney Lions 456 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: have lost four straight games? 457 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: I have an absolutely no idea. Let's get one more 458 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: break in. 459 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 3: We'll mix in some texts regarding the Gophers with also 460 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: some more National Football League conversation, especially Vikings Eagles as well, 461 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 3: and then. 462 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: I'll double check on that. 463 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: I forgot we got another Europe game, right, it's a 464 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 3: it's the Jaguars and the Rams. Somebody is already suggesting 465 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: that Jacksonville is getting screwed on a number of bad calls, 466 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: that the fix is in for the Rams. 467 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 4: I haven't been I forgot we even had a game again. 468 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 4: It's they're down fourteen rip right now to La. So 469 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 4: whether whether the fix is in or not in trouble 470 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 4: right now back in just The. 471 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 3: Good news for Minnesota Vikings fans is that Blake Cashman 472 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 3: is back. He will be available for the Purple to 473 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: try to shore up what's been a very questionable rushing defense. 474 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 3: The bad news for Vikings fans it looks like Jalen Carter, 475 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: who's been listed as questionable, is going to play today 476 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 3: as well for the Eagles along their defensive front. 477 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: Your guy, Ian Rappaport. 478 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 3: Is among those saying that Carter will play against the Purple. 479 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 3: He was a full participant in Friday's practice, so I 480 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 3: don't know that there's been an official designation yet from 481 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 3: the field, but indication seems to be that's the way 482 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 3: this thing is going. A few techs and more on 483 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: the Vikings Eagles the rest of the way. Sue writes, 484 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: I'm interested in your take on the student section storming 485 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 3: the field after defeating the twenty fifth rank Huskers. Originally, 486 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 3: I initially was embarrassed, thought, really, it's not that big 487 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: of an upset, is it? Shouldn't we act like we've 488 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 3: been there? But I realized it's been more than a 489 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 3: minute since our last big win. These kids don't remember 490 00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen when we shot Purdue. Let them have their moment. 491 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: I you know, I've been in on this, the the 492 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: the debate for decades on storming the field, etiquette and 493 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 3: all that. I've reached a point with it where I 494 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 3: refuse to get that worked up over it anymore either way, 495 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: because as soon as I do, then people lose their minds. 496 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: Loot, the kids, have fun. What's the big deal? 497 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 3: So fine, I'm weary of the whole process of the 498 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 3: defensiveness on the issue. 499 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: Here. 500 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 3: Here's the one thing I will say to me more 501 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 3: than anything else. What's storming the field in that environment, 502 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 3: in that situation, with that backdrop tells me is that 503 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: you're shocked that you beat twenty fifth Nebraska, twenty fifth 504 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 3: ranked Nebraska. That you're still stunned when Minnesota rises up 505 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 3: and wins a game that the odds makers said they 506 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: weren't supposed to win, which to me is not a 507 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: real good sign of the hell, both of the franchise 508 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 3: or of the program. 509 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: But have at him. 510 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: You want to celebrate, You want to go out there. 511 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: We know half the battle now is we want to 512 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 3: get on TV. We want our selfies on the field. Hey, 513 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: a bunch of other people are getting out there, so 514 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: we're going to get out there as well. 515 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: So have at it. 516 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: But in the end, as I said, more than anything else, 517 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: it tells me that you're like, we just beat Nebraska the. 518 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: Way we did. 519 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 3: I didn't what I've just get out there, So I'm 520 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: not sure that's a compliment to the state of the program. 521 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 3: But if you want to go out there, I'm not 522 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: going to put you in prison. I'm not going to 523 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 3: say you need to go to jail. Clearly, nationwide, the 524 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: rules have changed. And I think for me, Max, what 525 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 3: dictates it more than anything else is we're in a 526 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: selfie age and I guarantee you if we could, if 527 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: there was a way to find them, we would find 528 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, ten thousand selfies from the field if 529 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: we were able to survey the entire Internet. And that's 530 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 3: what's become. And so I don't think there's any thought 531 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: process that goes on. Wait a minute, let's see what's 532 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: what's Nebraska ranked before we. 533 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: Come out here. 534 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 3: I just don't think people are thinking that. Clearly, it's 535 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: not going to be like I was going to go 536 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 3: out there. But you know, after all, they're ranked, they're 537 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: not even ranked in the top ten. They're twenty five, gladys, 538 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: We're not going out there. I just don't think anybody's 539 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 3: thinking that clearly. And there might occasionally be boos involved too, correct. Yeah, 540 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: is there boos at college games? Now? 541 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: I can't remember. 542 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 4: I would assume that there's whether they're being sold out 543 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 4: the hunted banks medium or not. 544 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: There's boys. 545 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 4: First of all, far far be it from me the 546 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 4: guy who took his shirt off running around here when 547 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: the Wolves made it to the Western Conference finals to 548 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 4: be the fun police and tell people did not have fun. 549 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 4: That was the Western Conference Finals, though, that is a 550 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: big deal. You know, it's a little bit bigger than 551 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 4: beating the twenty fifth ranked Nebraska but whatever in a 552 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 4: regular season game, right, But I think I think all 553 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: it takes is one person. It's like you were saying, 554 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 4: all it really takes is one singular person to go, 555 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 4: I'm gonna run out into the field, and then at 556 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: least ten people are going to follow them, and then 557 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 4: at least ten more and then pretty much the whole 558 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 4: stadium is on the field. And you're right, half of 559 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: it is people just wanting to kind of manufacture a moment. 560 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: You bef it's not a moment a. 561 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 3: Manufacturer exactly right. So we're gonna make it a moment, 562 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,719 Speaker 3: whether it should be or not. 563 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: Right. 564 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 3: Well, because somebody texted it's a lifelong memory for them, 565 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 3: and I'm going, really, I mean, you know, when you're 566 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: on your deathbed, you're gonna tell your kids and your grandkids. Johnny, 567 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: you remember the time we got on the we beat 568 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 3: twenty fifth rank Nebraska in the middle of a regular season, 569 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: and we all got out there here at the end, 570 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 3: there's nothing else I really want to think about. 571 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: Come on, I hope there's something greater there in the end. 572 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: I hope so as well. 573 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: I think people forget We all like to think life 574 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 4: is short and time does go by fast. 575 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: Life is also exceptionally long. You go through a lot 576 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: of things. 577 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 4: I hope you think you're going to be thinking about 578 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 4: that when you're when you're up in your seventies putting 579 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 4: your your dentures in the ground. 580 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: One hundred percent true for sure. There was also a 581 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 3: text earlier. I haven't checked the RAMS score, but it 582 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: was an individual I think who was kind of firing 583 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 3: back at the person who said that the Jags were 584 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 3: getting job by the officials basically suggesting, let me say 585 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: I can find it here the Jags. 586 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: This is from trail ref guy. 587 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 3: The Jags have sixty eight yards total offense and the 588 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 3: Rams have the ball with five minutes left and about 589 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: to score again. Must be the refs though. Okay, so 590 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: maybe it's a little more than maybe it's a it's 591 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 3: an angry Jags fan uh that just can't handle the 592 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: state of the team, or there's another team where earlier 593 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 3: in this season and I may have fallen for this too, 594 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 3: it felt like, well, they're figuring some stuff out in Jacksonville. 595 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: They got off to a good start. Now they seem 596 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 3: to be coming back to the pack a little bit too. 597 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 3: So maybe they're the Nebraska of the of the National 598 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 3: Football League. 599 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not exactly sure. 600 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 3: What do you what's your gut tell you about Vikings Eagles? 601 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: What do you think it's? 602 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 4: It's a tough one because I think I think it 603 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 4: all comes down to the run game on both sides 604 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 4: of the field. Because as I was looking into this 605 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 4: earlier in the week, obviously we know we've seen we've 606 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 4: seen the Vikings get absolutely gutted on the ground, which 607 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 4: is something we're not used to seeing here over the 608 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 4: over the past several decades, the one thing the Vikings 609 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 4: have pretty much been consistent about year in and year 610 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 4: out is rush defense. 611 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: But we saw guys like B John Robinson, which. 612 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 4: No shame, no shame in anybody's game to get to 613 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 4: get destroyed by B. 614 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: John Robinson. 615 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 4: Like you said, he sees a top running back in 616 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 4: the NFL, So it's a it's a tough thing. But 617 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 4: also looking into it, one of the few teams that's 618 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 4: worse in rush defense than the Vikings in the NFL 619 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 4: is the Philadelphia Egans. 620 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: So I think the Vikings also have a unique. 621 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 4: Chance to try to establish the ground game, make it 622 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 4: a more balanced attack, and and maybe take some possessions 623 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 4: away from an Eagles team that they don't really show 624 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 4: it all that often, but obviously has the talent to 625 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 4: be explosive, and they can finish it just in a 626 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 4: couple of plays. I mean, they got one of the 627 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 4: best receivers in the game. AJ Brown is disgruntled as 628 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 4: he is, but you kind of wonder because there's so 629 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 4: many of these overlaying story lines going on with the 630 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 4: Eagles right now. Ken Jalen is Jalen hurt so has 631 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 4: he regressed? Is he an elite level quarterback? Are they 632 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 4: going to lean harder into the pass game because aj 633 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 4: Brown is so disgruntled, or are they going to take 634 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 4: the opportunity, which seems like the green light from this 635 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 4: Minnesota Vikings defense to just run all over them. So 636 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 4: it's a tough one, but I think it depends on 637 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 4: who wins the ground game. My gut does tell me 638 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: that the Eagles get back on track here. I mean, 639 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 4: they've only lost a handful of games in the last 640 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: calendar year. I think two or three games since around 641 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 4: this time last year. They're a dominant force and they 642 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 4: have those players that can explode at any time, and 643 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 4: I think, unfortunately I got a bad feeling, but I 644 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 4: do think the Vikings keep it close. 645 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: They have it. 646 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 3: They're a team of substance. I mean, there's no denying it. 647 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 3: It's just true. The track record speaks for itself. Now 648 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 3: you mentioned Brown, I think the one receiver that's really 649 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 3: hurt us is so big Metcalf, big physical receiver, and 650 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 3: that's obviously what Brown represents as well. So that will 651 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 3: be one of the interesting matchups to pay attention to. 652 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: Saw the biggest. 653 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,439 Speaker 3: This is from Jeff and Richfield, so the biggest concert 654 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 3: in Minnesota history Friday night. I hate to have to 655 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: say that despite the venue in despite his age, McCartney 656 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: still puts on a great show. His voice isn't what 657 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 3: it used to be, which I expected, but he still 658 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 3: sounded pretty good, had some good stories in between songs 659 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 3: played for two and a half hours, well worth it. 660 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed to find out. 661 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 3: I don't think he did the one thing I've asked 662 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 3: him to do for the last twenty five thirty years, 663 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 3: and that's clear the air about what happened when the 664 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: cops were out to get them when the Beatles came 665 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 3: the first time to perform at Metts Stadium and he 666 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 3: was accused of having brought an underage girl into his 667 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: room at the hotel, which, by the way, later was 668 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 3: proven that she was of age. But we've had a 669 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: lot of fun over the years, quoting from the cops 670 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 3: the police commission who basically said if they never come 671 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 3: back again, it'd be too soon for me. I don't 672 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 3: think McCartney has ever cleared the air, and I would 673 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 3: think the statute of limitations had run out on whatever 674 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 3: took place that he could say it, but it doesn't 675 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 3: sound like he has spilled the goods in that regard. 676 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 3: I've heard a couple other people say pretty much the 677 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 3: same thing about the concert. I tend to think that 678 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 3: when you go and see someone of that age, you 679 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 3: go most people go in having tempered their expectations, and 680 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 3: they're going for the nostalgia of it, right, And so 681 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 3: there's even if it hurts a little bit to note 682 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 3: that the range isn't quite there to the same degree. 683 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 3: Speaking of you know, memories, it might last a lifetime. 684 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: If you go to see Paul McCartney and you're a 685 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 3: big Beatles guy, that might be one on your deathbed 686 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 3: you do look back on, say, you know that night 687 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 3: I was, even though the acoustics were terrible and his 688 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 3: voice wasn't quite the same, I'll. 689 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: Never forget it. 690 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 3: The guy's history, the guy's musical, you know music history. 691 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 3: So I'm guessing most people are gonna be sparing in 692 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 3: their criticism of his voice not being quite as good. 693 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 3: They just want to be there, They want to hear 694 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 3: most of the same songs. But I was told by 695 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 3: our guy John Breens, start to be and I think 696 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: I read this he did not sing yesterday, which almost 697 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 3: seems sacrilegious that Paul McCartney would not sing that song. 698 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody else can confirm that, but 699 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 3: maybe he's sick of it, and I guess maybe after 700 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 3: all these decades, he said I've had enough yesterday. 701 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I don't know if there's anything in 702 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 4: the range that would have caused it. But it doesn't 703 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 4: look like I got the set list pulled up here, 704 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 4: doesn't look like that. Dad doesn't look like he did yesterday. 705 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: The hell of a song man. 706 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 3: But anyway, my guess is most people went away fairly 707 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 3: pleased overall, because they can now say I saw McCartney. 708 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: You know that, I think is what matters. 709 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 3: I think most people are pretty generous and what they're 710 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 3: willing to, you know, accept given these guys are all 711 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 3: in their eighties now, for god's sake, McCartney I think 712 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 3: is the eighty two eighty three, I can't remember his age, 713 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 3: that there's a chance that he might not be able 714 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 3: to have the same vocal range that he once did. 715 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 3: The question is always is this the last tour? We 716 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 3: keep saying how many? I mean, I can remember like 717 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 3: twenty five thirty years ago, people saying might be your 718 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 3: last chance to see the Stones and Mick Jagger, and 719 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 3: you know, like twelve farewell tours later, there's still touring. 720 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 721 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 4: Well, that's how they keep selling out these these stadiums 722 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 4: is because everybody is just like, all right, there can't 723 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 4: be another tour, right, but there always is another tour. Yeah, 724 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 4: I've been lucky enough over the last couple of years. 725 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: I got to see Rod Stewart, oh that's in his 726 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 4: later career. Got to see Janet Jackson, And it is 727 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 4: one of those things you don't go in there expecting 728 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 4: them to just wow you with their their their vocal 729 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 4: performance or anything. You're just happy to be in the 730 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 4: in the same area as them, and you get to say, yeah, 731 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 4: you do get to say later on, I got to 732 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 4: see them. Like I remember when Kobe played his last 733 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,959 Speaker 4: game here at the Target Center. I saw him score 734 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 4: two points. But nobody I don't ever tell that part 735 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 4: of the story. I not just say hey, I got 736 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 4: to see I got to see Kobe before that is 737 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 4: that's what you go for. 738 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: It's just I have you ever heard my Janet Jackson 739 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: choking story?
