I mean, did 32 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: he have some kind of a you know, Jim nance 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: who stars. Yeah, well they all do, right if they 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: win some kind of a game, they got some little 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: they they sit on some kind of clothes to the game. 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Did he not, Well, I think. 37 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: He was in a weird spot there because he didn't 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: know if it was a true buzzer beater or if 39 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: there was still time left on the clock. So I 40 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: think he was because even after that, he paused for 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: a little bit because yeah, the team was celebrating like 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: they had won, but then the refs are now saying, oh, 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: we got to take a look at this. I think 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: he also assumed there's still more time with the clock, 45 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: so he couldn't give like that final because he ended 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: up didn't have another final call after that because missus 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: Churris that we got the one inbound, So I think 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: that's where he couldn't do the Jim nance call there 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: because it wasn't final. 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: And I don't think he wears a tie, so he 51 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: wasn't able to give battle his tie his neck tie 52 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: like Jim used to do, right, because I don't think 53 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: JG wears a tie during the games or does I 54 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: don't know. 55 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: I've never seen what he looks like to the game. 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not either. We did a montage Friday dead 57 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 2: List sixty three teams. 58 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 5: And it was I always loved that. 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: It was a combination Larry Mandela guy and more Amsterdam guy. 60 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: You could tell though, I'm just telling you, And he's 61 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: gonna now his feelings get hurt because he's he's got 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: such thing. 63 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 5: You tell which ones are Larry Mondelo guy. No. 64 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: No. When Blake Moore brought it to he goes, do 65 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: we want to do? It's almost like he didn't really 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: want to do it, and I thought he was all 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: gong hod. Maybe I misunderstood it. He's going to feel 68 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: you know, his feelings get hurt really bad. But he 69 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: did it, and he did a great job. 70 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: And that's where, well, my guess is from a montage standpoint. 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: The access to Gophers women's highlights are more challenging to retreat, 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: you would think. 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: But what Larry Mondela Guy says is that JG was 74 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: going to provide him to because I JG loved being 75 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: a part of Oh of course, yeah, I'm sure he 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: loved it so oh and you know what, that's where 77 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: I have a a new route new founders. But we 78 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: started calling him after I heard the montage. Instead of 79 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: the tasteless box of mashed potatoes, we called him the 80 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: tasteless box of mashed potatoes because he's really good. He's 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: really I you know, I I tipped my cap to 82 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: him after his work at the Minnesota State High School 83 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: girls basketball. To me, he did four games in a rower, 84 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: you know, the all four championship games. And I saw 85 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: the last second half of the of the four a game, 86 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: and he did it really At first, I didn't Duce 87 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: and I were kind of listening with half an air 88 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: and Dus goes is that JG, and I go, let's listen, 89 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: and it was GG. I didn't know he was doing 90 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: the high school games. I mean, I know he does 91 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: the women's go first. He did a really nice job. 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: But his work on the with the highlight package that 93 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: we did for the montage was really good. He's I'm 94 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: going to say this right now that I'm gonna say 95 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: something controversial that's interesting. I don't think he's long for 96 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: KFE if indeed, he'd like to be a play by 97 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: play person somewhere for some universities somewhere rather than just 98 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: doing nothing wrong with being the women's But you get 99 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: to that men's division one, I think the money starts 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: to become pretty good, and. 101 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 5: He might he might consolidate those ten jobs into one job. 102 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 2: That it is possible. He's really good at it. But 103 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: you were talking about him, we were talking about the game. 104 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: I watched the last seven six seven minutes and I 105 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: turned it on because they were trailing by like eight 106 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: I think. I saw the score and I went, oh, no, really, 107 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: I thought this was gonna be our one shiny moment. 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 5: And they just kept battle battling, Amaya battle. 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, they amia battled and it was yeah, it was. 110 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: It was fun to watch, and they had a couple 111 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: of critical turnovers that I thought, well, that's it, can't 112 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: turn them all over that situation. But they hung in 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: there and they won the game. And it was exciting. 114 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: It was and you know, I Chip had wrote a 115 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: piece Chips Goggins with textan talking one of the most 116 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: people know Steam columnists, Will from Woodbury. He'd wrote a 117 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: piece leading up to the game. He also wrote a 118 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: nice story last night after the game and that appeared 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: in the Fish Wrap, and he had said, well, this 120 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: is a team that they don't really have one star. 121 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: They spread it around, they don't have one. They don't 122 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: have a top twenty five score in the Big ten 123 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: or something, and they are all sorts of stats, but 124 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: they all contribute that like five of them are double 125 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: digit scores on average. You know, somebody, somebody, They're a 126 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: true team, right, I mean they don't have like one 127 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: one big star on the club. And I said, well, 128 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: that's great, and that's good that they have teamwork, but 129 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: it could also mean they don't have that one person 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: that can be a star. And so I was thinking, well, 131 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: I wonder if that's what's happening here in this game 132 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: against ole Miss, is that you know, they don't have 133 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: somebody that can take over a game. But it was 134 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: a prime example about several people contributing bron Battle, who's 135 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: the other guy? 136 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 5: That got the perfect heart heart. 137 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: I mean those three, all from Minnesota, all contributed mightily 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: as did others in what I watched, and so yeah, 139 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: it was a team performance. It's nice you get to 140 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen, so good for the Golden golfers. 141 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 4: Question number two, it's now time to take an in 142 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 4: depth look at the welfare of the Wolves. 143 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: So Gophers women can get to the Sweet sixteen for 144 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: the first time in twenty one years. And the Wolves 145 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: won in Boston for the first time in twenty one years. 146 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: They beat the Celtics one O two ninety two last night, 147 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: and they did it without Anthony Edwards. But they got 148 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: twenty three points from Bones Highland, Io de sanmu added 149 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: seventeen points eight six assists, and then nas Reed did 150 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: come back after missing two games. He scored eight consecutive 151 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter. Common was six out to 152 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: you from last night's Wolves win in Boston. 153 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: The team is better without Anthony Edwards. They're a better 154 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: club without him. I suggested this why you were away, that. 155 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 5: They well, he wants you suggested that when I was here, right. 156 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: He wanted to He wants to go to Atlanta. He 157 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: can't wait to get home. When you have a player 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: that and it's great to have a guy that can 159 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: score thirty points a game. I don't deny that in 160 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: any way, shape or for And you want a guy 161 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: that you can trust that come fourth quarter, bring it 162 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: to hand, right, you know, I let I let, I 163 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: let Devincenzo and Randall and go Beart and nas and 164 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 2: soon to shoot.

But 168 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: sometimes when you're when one guy feels like, well, I'm 169 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: the guy, I gotta take the shot all the time. 170 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: Then they take your advice shots, they don't go in, 171 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: and you lose your playoff game, and it's sober so 172 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: uh so, No, what do I really feel they are 173 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: a better team without him? No, But it's like in 174 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: any situation tennaby. I mean, for instance, when I'm out, 175 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: I bet you and who's ever sitting in that chair, 176 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: Let's say its Brett Blakemore. You guys bring your a 177 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: game because you know you got big shoot. Sure that's 178 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: probably a bad example, but they know we don't have ant. 179 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: We don't have in We can't just go oh, Ant's 180 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: gonna get us thirty. Ant's gonna take the tough shot. 181 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: Ant's gonna try to play defense. That like, when one 182 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: Ant wants to play defense, he's he's a really good 183 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: defensive player. So when when you don't have him in 184 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: the lineup all of a sudden, it probably does make 185 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: you say, I guess I got to contribute a little 186 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: bit more. We really have to mind our p's and q's, 187 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: dotter i's and cross our t's because their record without 188 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: Ant is actually pretty good. Is it like ten and four, 189 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: eleven and five something like that. So but yeah, that 190 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: they're able to play without them, and that they're and 191 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: you know, beating Boston's. That's Boston's a playoff team. That's nice. 192 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: You want you you want to prove you can beat 193 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: those clubs. I don't know. I guess Boston was probably 194 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: shorthanded to who knows, but uh, you win, you win? 195 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: So again, I I you know, I I I know 196 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: that the basketball community is weary of me. They probably 197 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: don't even listen anymore to the to my my rants 198 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: about the lack of effort, especially defensively by the Wolves. 199 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: It seems like game after game after game. I've just 200 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: decided that's just the way it's going to be. Just 201 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: you know, we'll see where where, We'll see where the 202 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: chips fall, where they are succeed, whether it be three, four, five, 203 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: or six. I don't think they're going to fall into 204 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: the play in now with with Phoenix. What would you 205 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: say it was four and a half? Yeah, three, I 206 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 2: thought it was three and a half. But regardless, I 207 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: just don't think they're gonna sorry, they're four back now. 208 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to fall behind Phoenix. So 209 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: just wherever they fall, and then playoffs start and see 210 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: what happens. And you know, obviously your attention ratchets up 211 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: the the intensity does, because you know you can't afford 212 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: you know, you lose four year down, it's over. So 213 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: and maybe they can they can recapture what they did 214 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: the last two years and get to the Western Conference 215 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: finals again. To quick on question number three. 216 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 5: Oh Kings, let's win, let's game. 217 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: It's now time to take an in depth look at 218 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: this state of talking about. 219 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: For you, I kind of I guess because someone wants 220 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: to come here. It sounds like a free agent wide 221 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: receiver DeAndre Hopkins recently told TMZ that he'd be thrilled 222 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: to reunite with Kyler Murray, who, of course recently signed 223 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: with our Minnesota Vikings. Hopkins said, quote, Kyler, that's my 224 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: bro man. Kyler is like family. I talked to Kyler 225 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: throughout the year. Last year, I talked to Kyler after 226 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: a situation in Arizona. Kyler is like family man. I 227 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: would always embrace that journey with him. He's on a 228 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: one year deal. If I'm not mistaken, whatever I can 229 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: do for someone like that. If Kyler needed me, if 230 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings needed me, they know I'll be there. Common 231 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: should the Vikings pursue wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Well, I. 232 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Have a couple of questions for you there. Should we 233 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: take this other side of the break? 234 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 5: Sure? 235 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: Because there is, because there's some I'd not caught that piece. 236 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: I guess I'm not. I'm not preparing for my show 237 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: as much as I used to. Yeah, okay, I did 238 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: not see that piece.

I mean Rosan 264 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: gets that confused sometimes, so he says he'd love to 265 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: play here a couple of questions. Does he have anything left? 266 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 5: Not much left? 267 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: No, this is not the potentially Hall of fame DeAndre Hopkins. 268 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 5: That you're thinking of. That was great with the Houston 269 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 5: Texans and for a short stint with the Arizona Cardinals. 270 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 5: He's up there in age. I think he's thirty three. 271 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: He was drafted in two thousand and two along with 272 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: the car wasn't he I think was about the same time. 273 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 5: He's thirty three years old. 274 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: Has him put together a DeAndre Hopkins type season probably 275 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: in like four years? But could he be a functional 276 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: number three, number four wide receiver that could excel in 277 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: the red zone for you? 278 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 279 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 5: I think he could be a he could be a 280 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 5: role player for yeah. 281 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Is he Is he a free agent? 282 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Yes, he's not even on a t No, no, no, 283 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: he's he's a free agent because I don't think he's 284 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: that desirable at the stage of a screw. 285 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: Well, no, no, wonder he's excited about saying, well, I'd 286 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: love to. 287 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Play, like I said, yeah, if you can get him 288 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: for cheap, and he could, Like I said, I think 289 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: he can still be a Renzo red zone guy for you, 290 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: which I don't think the Bikings are very good at JJ. 291 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson has never been a big red zone guy. 292 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, I don't think you know TJ. Hockeens they 293 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: just don't really have that guy, so he can fit 294 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: in that regard. 295 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: This text messager says, DeAndre Hopkins, do you like parades? 296 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: Do you think he makes that much of a different 297 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: center can start playing that parade route? Yeah, I guess 298 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: I got excited. 299 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: Because I was when you when you wanted to carry 300 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: it over to the next break. I'm like, I don't 301 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: think he realizes how much passes prime draft. 302 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: I had no idea because I thought he was like 303 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: still one of the best wide receivers in pro football 304 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: and he was just willing to come play for us 305 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: on the cheap, and it was going to be one 306 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: of those you know, it's like, how do we do that? 307 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: You know, just like you got to be kidding me? 308 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: How were we able to pull that off? 309 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 5: You were gone? 310 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: Were you here when Kyler or Mark Rosen called him 311 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: Kyle Murphy? 312 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 5: Here when he was talking about Kyle Murty, Kyle Murray, 313 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 5: he called him Kyle Murphy. Do you call Murphy too? 314 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: He called him Kyle Murphy. Were you here once he 315 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: was signed? 316 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 5: Yes, I was talking about the day of or oh, okay, 317 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 5: because I couldn't remember, you know, one day you were. 318 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: You've been gone so long I had. 319 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 5: I was there for the Kyle Murray. Kyle Murray, do 320 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 5: you I ken't Murdray. 321 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: I look, I'll preface it by saying Pat Mahomes isn't available. 322 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: So I actually like it. I I mean, I don't 323 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: know if it If he maybe what we've seen the 324 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: past few years, that's just who he is with the 325 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: Cardinals right where he just hasn't been. He's been hot 326 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 2: and cold. He's had his moments, I guess. But the 327 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 2: Cardinals are willing to part. Weighs a lot of that. 328 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: I think I have to do with the money. But 329 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: I think about this, they still have to pay them 330 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: the money without having them there. They want to go 331 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: in another direction there. I think they're in complete reboot mode, right, 332 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: complete rebuild them in Phoenix. So it's like, well, we 333 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: got to just start over again. There's no use start 334 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: with the quarterbit that costs that kind of money. But 335 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 2: with the amount of money the Bikings have to pay 336 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: with the current situation, they signed Wentz while you're away, 337 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 2: they resigned him. I know. So I it's also not 338 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: a good look for JJ McCarthy. No, No, that's for sure. 339 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 2: But it's one of those where you got to win, 340 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: and you got to win now. And I don't trust 341 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: McCarthy either yet, but I'm still it's kind of crazy 342 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: because I wanted to keep Donald. The Bikings decided they 343 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: didn't want Donald. They thought McCarthy was their guid and 344 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 2: I know there was some they thought maybe they had 345 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 2: a you know, uh, a trick up their sleeve because 346 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: they thought, what's his face, Danny Dimes was probably gonna 347 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: stay here, and he didn't. And there there were many 348 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: people that were telling me, no, we need to move on. 349 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: We don't need darn we don't need Dimes. We need 350 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: to see if we drafted the right guy. And I'm like, 351 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: we had the right guy. His name is Sam Darnald Old. 352 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: Sam Darnald had an arm. 353 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: By the way, his number one wide receiver after this 354 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: past season. Yeah, now is the highest paid wide receiver 355 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: in NFL history. That is correct, JSN. So now those same. 356 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: People seem to be not everybody, but many of them 357 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: seem to be completely turned off by McCarthy, and I've 358 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: kind of come around the other way. And not that 359 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: I'm saying they should just give the starting job McCarthy 360 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: why the heck did we get Murray. I wouldn't give 361 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: up on him either, you know. You know, again, he 362 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 2: takes up a roster spot. You got to have a quarterback. 363 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: You have to have a backup. They have two backups. 364 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: They got McCarthy, they got Wins. I think they are 365 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: kind of a I think they're in a much better 366 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: situation this year than they were last year. Last year, 367 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 2: going in and again, I after that fourth quarter against 368 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: the Bears, I was thinking, well, maybe they didn't make 369 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: the right choice. Maybe this kid is going to be it. 370 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: Maybe it took them three quarters to figure out the 371 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 2: National Football League and now nine by the way, telling 372 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: me why you were gone? My my colon oskar report 373 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 2: came back and all the poly ups were benign. So 374 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 2: that's my alter egos benign. He's nine, nine or nine. 375 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: I thought, maybe I was wrong, maybe this kid is. 376 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: But then we saw what happened the rest of the 377 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: year and the injury prone stuff. So I don't have 378 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: a problem getting Kyle Murphy, do you. No? 379 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I said at the time, and you've already 380 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: made the point of you know, Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen, 381 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: they're not available, and that those guys just don't exist. 382 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 5: In free agency. 383 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: Am I convinced that Kyle Murphy slash Kyler Murray will 384 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: immediately turn the Vikings into a big game contender and 385 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be absolutely brilliant. 386 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 5: I'm not convinced of that. 387 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: I think I do have some concerns with him here, 388 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: specifically how he will fit in a Kevin O'Connell's system, 389 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: because those two philosophies and playing styles seem to be 390 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: going against each other. But out of all the quarterbacks 391 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: that were available, Kyler Murray is the highest ceiling. He's 392 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: still relatively young, which means if he did have a 393 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold liked season, you could have your franchise quarterback 394 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: for the next sixty seven years. And you got him 395 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: on the absolute cheap, So there's there's no risk he's 396 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: getting He's getting the bare minimum. If he doesn't work out, 397 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: it didn't really cost anything. Now to your other points 398 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: about JJ McCarthy, I'm not convinced JJ McCarthy's gonna be 399 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: on this roster. Oh really, when you go out and 400 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: get let me do there averaging. They re signed Carson 401 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 1: Wentz and not only did they resign Cartson Wentz they 402 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: did in March. This wasn't something they just picked them 403 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: up in July or August, say hey, let's just kind 404 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: of fill out the depth in our room, which. 405 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 5: To me means. 406 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: You have a role for him in mind, which is 407 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: probably Kyler Murray's backup, like this Kyler Murray insurance in 408 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: case Kyler doesn't work out. I don't know what good 409 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: it does to have JJ McCarthy as your third quarterback. 410 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: If you still thought there was something in him that 411 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: you could develop, that think you'd still want to put 412 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: him in a backup situation and give him a chance. 413 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: To me, this is the fact that they're doing this 414 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: in March with with Wentz instead of because Carson Wentz 415 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: would be available in May. 416 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 5: Carson Wentz would be available. 417 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: In Yeah, coming off an injury. 418 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 5: My guess is Heed still be available. 419 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: I think they're doing this so they can start having 420 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: discussions of other teams before the draft and try to 421 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: bring back draft capital and return for JJ McCarthy. 422 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: Well, there was a story while you were away. Somebody 423 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 2: tweeted it. I don't know who reputable or not. They 424 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: suggested that there were several teams and they actually named 425 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: Brown's rams and somebody else that that have reached out 426 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: to the biking. 427 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: I didn't even know McCarthy. Yes, I was off the 428 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: grid for eight days. I didn't see any of this stuff, 429 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: so that was well. 430 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: It raises some interesting issues I have. I have a 431 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: couple of other ideas. One I I had very controversial. 432 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: If you thought signing five high end running backs was controversial, 433 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: the idea I have a McCarthy while you were away, 434 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: it's either going to be You're either going to go 435 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: brilliant or you're going to be rolling your eyes, shrugging 436 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: your shoulders and shaking your head. But we'll do that next. 437 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 5: You want to sign five quarterbacks like your five running 438 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 5: backs from. 439 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: One No, No, but it's well, but it's it's it'll raise 440 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: some interesting issues. Let's just say that that's next on 441 00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: the Common End. 442 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Program on the Fan, your summer just leveled up three 443 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: eleven and Dirty Heads are kicking off their two are 444 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: mystic like Amphitheater on July eleventh.

I'm common 448 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: He's so what is jjm I'm gonna do it like 449 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 2: like a it's not even multiple choice. I'll just ask 450 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: you questions, which your responses. What does jj McCarthy need 451 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 2: more than anything? 452 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 5: What does he need more than anything anything? 453 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: What does he need to take that next step to 454 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 2: see if he's really you say, if he can play, 455 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: if he can be a franchise quarterback? 456 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 5: Playing time, playing time? 457 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: Is he going to get any here? I mean between 458 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 2: now and the start of the season, what would he get? 459 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you would have ODI's mini camp, training camp 460 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: in which you're going to face the New England Patriots 461 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: for two days, right then preseason games which are only 462 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: three and the way they work, even if he were 463 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 2: to start and play all three games, he ain't thrown 464 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: to Justin Jefferson because guess what, Justin Jefferson ain't playing 465 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: in that game. No, Addison, probably he's not playing in 466 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: that game. Darisa ain't playing in that game, o'neils. So 467 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: he's not even going to be playing with the right 468 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: the starting offensive line, probably, not running backs, certainly, not 469 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 2: wide receivers. Vanilla offense. How much does he really learn? 470 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: Are familiar with the United Football League enemy could we 471 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: loan him. I always love that there's an expansion team. 472 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 2: I think they're the Birmingham Stallions. I believe you loan 473 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: them to the Birmingham Stallions. Say here's your he plays 474 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 2: the ten game season. They're done like May thirty first, 475 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: just in time to get to that last oh to 476 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: that last mini camp and be ready for training camp. 477 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: Then he gets to play, and I could get hurt, 478 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: I guess, But that's been his other problem. Now I 479 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: don't know if that's allowed by the league. That's the 480 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 2: only part I guess, or hurt likely we fell hurt likely, 481 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: I think about it. Then he would act. Now again, 482 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: the level of play isn't quite like the National Football League, 483 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: but it's still it's real football, real games, ten game schedule. 484 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 2: Get used to that grind. What I brought up is 485 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: you know that I checked with I hopped it and 486 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: AI said, well, no, you really can't because the league 487 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: doesn't have an agreement with the UFL. But why wouldn't 488 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: they have an agreement with the UFL. Look at what 489 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 2: we have a D league in the NBA, the wild 490 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: of and Iowauld affiliate right where they play games, right 491 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 2: Minnesota Twins. Though I would think maybe they're Saint Paul 492 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: team is better than their big league team, but they 493 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: have a they have a Why doesn't the NFL have 494 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: that system? 495 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's called college football, right. 496 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: But but again, once I've talked about once you get 497 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 2: out of college football, I don't know why you couldn't 498 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: have affiliates. Well, I guess, well, the one problem would 499 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: be you don't have enough UFL teams. You don't have 500 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: thirty two of them, and then he couldn't have an affiliate. 501 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: But he needs playing time, is what he needs. And 502 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: I don't know how he's going to get it unless 503 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 2: you're just playing during the regular season because, as I say, 504 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: with old as many camps that control scrimmage whatever they 505 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: call it, and then the few the three preseason games 506 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: in which your star players that you want to you know, 507 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 2: you want to get some kind of a connection with, 508 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: aren't going to play. He's just not gonna have the 509 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: opportunity to do it. He's with I can't recall the 510 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: kid's name. There's some guy that wasn't is his last 511 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: name Beck. There's some guy that used to play I'd 512 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: never heard him before. He's played pro football for a 513 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: cup of coffee. He's now like allegedly the premiere quarterback 514 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: guru that works with people on the side, right so 515 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: he I think right now as we speak, I think 516 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: that's where McCarthy is. He's somewhere in California and he's 517 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: working out with this guy. But you know, again trying 518 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: to get his eyes and his feet to match and 519 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: all that. But unless you're doing it in real game action, 520 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: I just don't know what it does. And to me, 521 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 2: that's the hardest part of saying, you know, how do 522 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: we find out that. That's why I guess I want 523 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: to saying this lends a little credence too. I think 524 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: your idea that well, if you've signed Winston, you've got Murray, 525 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 2: what is there really have any room for McCarthy, And 526 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: even if you still think he's got it, without him playing, 527 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: you'll never know, right, And I guess that's like with 528 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: any quarterback, any quarterback that comes out in the draft 529 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: and you draft him and he's on your team, he 530 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: doesn't get experience until he plays in real games. 531 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 5: But most of. 532 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 2: Those guys you can see rather quickly. I mean, we 533 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: we saw the kid for Washington, uh, Dan Daniels, he 534 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: can play cunning Conning Williams. He can play. Drake May 535 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: he can play, looks like Nicks can play. Now we're 536 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: not sure about Pinnix. So there are the guys that 537 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: you know can play, and they play him in there, 538 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: and you see right away these guys you can plug, 539 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: plug and play, is what we'd like to say. So 540 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: I just I just don't know. And if you remember, 541 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: the head coaches said this, and he gets quoted all 542 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: across local, inter nationally all the time with the idea 543 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: he believes that organizations fail quarterbacks more than quarterbacks fail organizations. 544 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 5: And so I don't know, that's what that's it. 545 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 2: That's that's that's what I I guess, we don't know. 546 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, so I you know, you can I know 547 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: what I. 548 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: Mean to your point, they're not gonna tell us. I'm 549 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: sure we're not gonna hear from koc or Or. I 550 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: was about to say crazy. He's not there anymore Rob 551 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: Brazinski in quite some time. But i'd love to know 552 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: what's the depth chair look like. And they they didn't 553 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: even tell us when Kyler Murray signed. They refused to 554 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: say Kyler Murray was the one. They just tried to like, oh, 555 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: we're just trying to improve our quarterback room, and that's 556 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: what they're gonna go with with Carson Wentz. But once 557 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: you get into mini camps and Oda's, you're gonna see 558 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: the death chart play out. 559 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 5: And I just think J. J. 560 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: McCarthy's gonna be three on that ye, which if he 561 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: is gonna be three, then why have him on the roster, 562 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: And you might as well. His trade value is just 563 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: gonna get worse as it goes along the farther you go. Now, 564 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: so to me, I think on draft day he's gonna 565 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: get moved. 566 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of people waging this this very 567 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: controversial topic. This one says, I really believe the bikes 568 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 2: are still all in on Arthy. They just needed solid 569 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 2: backup solutions since McCarthy's injury history is assigned for concern. 570 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: But I don't see them letting McCarthy lever or go elsewhere. 571 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: He's a young QB with huge potential. I mean, I 572 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: guess that is a way to look at it. I mean, 573 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: he was drafted the tenth overall. There were people that's 574 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 2: remember he played at Michigan, won a national title. He 575 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: was sixty three and one as a quarterback, in high 576 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: school and college football. 577 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 5: One of the. 578 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: Question marks about about McCarthy was, well, at Michigan, he 579 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: really didn't know what they don't want to They don't pass. 580 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: They run first, run, second run, third, and then pass 581 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: when they have to, or just to keep the defense honest, right, 582 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: But when he was called upon to pass, he was 583 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 2: pretty good. He won a national championship. So there there 584 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: were some people that said, well, you can't hold that 585 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 2: against him. He still made the throws. And then there 586 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: were people like me that said, well, you're right. I mean, 587 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. But because he's never we 588 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: read that that when for me, I've always said, you know, 589 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: fourth quarter, minute to go, blah blah blah, right, you know, 590 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: in the cold, you're down six, that's what I want 591 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 2: to see what a quarterback can do. And some guys 592 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: just need more time than others. But he might be 593 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: that guy. But we talk about this all the time. 594 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: It's it's like if you're the if you're the coach 595 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: of a team and you hit your wagon to him, right, 596 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 2: if you say no, I still think it's McCarthy's the guy, 597 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: and you go into this season he's your number one guy. 598 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 2: And you start the season and he's awful again, and 599 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 2: you go one in four in your first five games. 600 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: You're basically thrown that season away. And then you put 601 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: your own job in jeopardy, and then you know, there 602 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: are so many things. I mean, we've talked about this 603 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: veteran players they're playing for the now. I mean, they're 604 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: they you know, Jefferson being one of them. I want 605 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: to win. I want to win now. I want to 606 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: is all the other fifty two guys just supposed to 607 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: twitter their thumbs and wait to see if this quarterback 608 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: is going to be the guy over the next two years, 609 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: two or three years high. I don't think a lot 610 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 2: of editors want to sit around and do that. Now, 611 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 2: you do whatever the team tells you to do. But 612 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: I think it makes for a uncomfortable locker room if 613 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: you have a guy that you continue to try to 614 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: give the starting job too, and he's just not showing 615 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: that he's ready and. 616 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 5: That since he kind of got called out after the year. 617 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: If you remember those the Sam Darnold stories in January, 618 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: what was the one that we read that I remember 619 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: there's Blake Cashman was in it and Justin Jefferson was 620 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: in it. I think Harrison Smith was in it, yep. 621 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: And they weren't directly calling out JJ McCarthy, but basically 622 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: just say, man, it would have been a much different 623 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: season if we would have had Sam Darnald here. We 624 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: all wanted him to stay like, that's not correct, exactly 625 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: endearing to your current quarterback, which to me, they knew 626 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: at that time that there was going to be a 627 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: change at that position. Otherwise they don't go out and 628 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: say that directly about their quarterback. 629 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: Right. This one says, is there any possibility that Murray 630 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 2: and wins were actually competing for number two with essentially 631 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: nine planned to still start? Look, I don't think so, 632 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: but I'm not putting anything past this organization, because this 633 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: organization let Darnold walk. Right, they didn't have a good 634 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 2: enough handle on Danny Dimes. They thought they knew what 635 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: Danny Dimes had mine, and I think we've all come 636 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: to believe that Dimes just thought he in his conversations, 637 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: or at least by the actions of the Vikings, he 638 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: was convinced that he really wasn't going to be in 639 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: a competition with JJ McCarthy. He was definitely going to 640 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 2: be the backup and he's thinking to himself, I want 641 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: to start, And he looked at the Colt situation and 642 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: that just looked like he felt he had a better 643 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: and maybe he heard some things in Baltimore, maybe they 644 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: made some promises to him, but he just felt he 645 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 2: had a better opportunity to start there, and lo and 646 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 2: behold he did and he was weren't the Colts Eton 647 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 2: one before he got injured. I think Payton won and 648 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 2: then then he became injured. So while I don't think 649 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: there's a possibility that Murray and Wentz playing for second 650 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: and third string, I don't know. I don't know what 651 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 2: this organization thinks. Sometimes. 652 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: I don't think Kyler Murray signs here, and I'm not 653 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: sure Carson Wentz signs here. 654 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 5: If that was the case, here's what. 655 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: Why would you get rid of McCarthy now? You would 656 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 2: be selling low on him now, and his trade value 657 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 2: wasn't going to get much lower, and we aren't paying 658 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: him anything. He's only played ten games. You just said, 659 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: we know Williams and may can play, but we can, 660 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: but we really didn't know after ten games if either 661 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 2: one of them could play. Yeah, you know, but well, 662 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: in the case of Caleb Williams though everybody said he 663 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: was generational. Every scouting reports is yes, generational, and he 664 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: did struggle in his first year and there were extenuating 665 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: circumstances there. Their head coach obviously is gone. I don't 666 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 2: think he knew what he was doing. They didn't have 667 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 2: a lot to work with there, and they didn't have 668 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 2: quarterback whisperer. Right. How many times did you see Williams 669 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 2: just taking a sack right, not knowing what to do? 670 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 2: And then he gets Ben Johnson there? And did they 671 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 2: get to the did they play in the NFC Championship 672 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: game the Bears? No, there was Rams in Seattle. They 673 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 2: lost to who did they lose to. 674 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 5: Them? 675 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: So they ended up losing. Yeah, they did lose in 676 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 2: the Rams. So that was the one where he threw 677 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 2: the he backpedaled like or was that the Packer game 678 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 2: where he backpedaled and just threw the ball shot into 679 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: the end and whatever? May who's me, Paul Drake? May? Yeah? 680 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: And that I don't know. It's just I don't I 681 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 2: call it the eye test. I don't know. The Kevin 682 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: O'Connor Rehabilitation Center for quarterbacks with such success stories as 683 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 2: Nick muck Jared John Dot Sam Ho that's bro Carson 684 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 2: went JJ McCook. Well, that's what I've kind of said 685 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 2: all along about this quarterback whisper thing has just gotten 686 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 2: completely out of control it. You know, when he was 687 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 2: with the Rams, he got credit for helping to develop 688 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: Jared goff Right. They got to a big game with 689 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,280 Speaker 2: Gough and then we saw what happened with Dobbs. There 690 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 2: are many people, you know, and doops is good for 691 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 2: a game or two, And there were people that thought 692 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 2: under O'Connell until he got hurt, Cousins was headed toward 693 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 2: his best season as a pro, and that that may 694 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 2: be the case. I don't know if that's all because 695 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 2: of O'Connell in his tutelage. Sometimes it might not just 696 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 2: be him coaching up the quarterback. It just might be 697 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 2: you have a better team around Kirk Cousins. I don't know, 698 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 2: I mean, and I don't think we're ever We're ever 699 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 2: going to to know that. And then I've read the 700 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 2: quotes for I can dig him up again if you want. 701 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: Darnold basically gave all the credit to to. 702 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 5: Brock perty Now. 703 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: That was at his introductory news conference in Seattle, could have. 704 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 2: He had been a little bitter about what happened in 705 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 2: Minnesota after the season he had he had the two 706 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: bad games, especially the one against Detroit. Right, I don't know, 707 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 2: do you you know? He said all the right things 708 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 2: right into the it. The media tried to get it 709 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 2: out of him after the Rams game, in the NFC 710 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 2: Championship game, in after the big game, what about the 711 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: people that doubted you? Do you have any message you 712 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 2: want to send to them? He said, I don't have 713 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 2: any message to send anybody we want. I'm very happy 714 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 2: he didn't. He didn't go like, well here, yeah, right, 715 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 2: he didn't do any of that. He he he did 716 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 2: not do that. Whether he really does feel that way, 717 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: and he may have. He probably thought he was coming 718 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: back to Minnesota, right, and then he didn't. 719 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 5: So maybe right, so. 720 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe And it's not to take some of the 721 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 2: credit away from O'Connell, you know, but maybe it was 722 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 2: more what happened in San Francisco and then came here 723 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: and he was in a pretty good position because it 724 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: was a it was a pretty good club, right, and 725 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: there was another one give me one second here te 726 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: to me. Do you think it's possible that after the 727 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 2: Murray signing. McCarthy and his agent are requesting a trade, 728 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 2: and that's why they're saying they signed Carson Wentz. That's 729 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 2: why it's been quiet from JJ so far. I guess 730 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 2: that's possible. Sure wants a fresh start somewhere, because as 731 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 2: we talked about, there were rumors while you were away 732 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 2: on your Orlando vacation that there were teams that had 733 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 2: reached out uh to the Vikings. 734 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 5: I will say, Uh, I don't know if he's in 735 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 5: a position to be. He hasn't played good enough to 736 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 5: like be demanding requesting trades and like wherever he's gonna 737 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 5: end up. 738 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: It's not like he's gonna find some start starting spot 739 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: out of this, right, He's just going to get traded 740 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: somewhere else where he'd be a backup. 741 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: McCarthy's a ball or and a gamer and just needs 742 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 2: to mature. You don't let that go. Fans loved his passion. 743 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 2: We need that. He's a gamer. I mean, he's he 744 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 2: does not lack for confidence. He's won a lot of 745 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 2: football games. That fourth quarter against the Bears was terrific. 746 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 2: It was, and he had a few other moments the 747 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 2: rest of the season. 748 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 5: Last year the first three quarters, he looked at the 749 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 5: wort quarterback you've ever seen. 750 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 2: That's it And in many of the bad throws he 751 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 2: made the first three quarters of that game, he was 752 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 2: continuing to make as the season progressed in that last 753 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 2: four or five games when we won five games in 754 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: a row, and again he says, you don't let that go. 755 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 2: Fans loved his passion. We need that, And as a fan, 756 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: it's a lot easier to say that because you don't 757 00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 2: have anything other than fandom invested, and or McCarthy O'Connell 758 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 2: has his job at State there. If I go with 759 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 2: the McCarthy kid, if I tell the Wolfs we're going 760 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 2: with McCarthy again, we're gonna start them. I can get 761 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 2: something out of him, and you don't. The Wolves might go, 762 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: why did you do that? You know you're not getting 763 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 2: anything out of them, and then another season goes by 764 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 2: the wayside. So this one says, I think you may 765 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 2: have it wrong. McCarthy will be the startering week one 766 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 2: with the shortest hook of all time. Kyler Murray will 767 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 2: be finishing the first game after you see Jays do 768 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: more of the same. Well, I guess that's a possibility. 769 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 4: Too. 770 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems weird to like go an entire 771 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: off season going, we're gonna let this guy be the 772 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: guy for maybe a quarter or two, but we're gonna 773 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: pull him right away if it doesn't work out. Yeah, 774 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: I think you want a little bit better off solution 775 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: in march. 776 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 4: To that well. 777 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 2: And I think the hook thing that he suggests would 778 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: be a I mean, that'd be too quick of a hook. 779 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 2: I I don't know, Tennaby. I I tend to lean 780 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 2: to what you're saying. I don't know about if actually 781 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 2: trading him, because I will agree with the one text message. 782 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 2: I don't know what you could even get for him 783 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 2: right now, but if you can get anything at all, 784 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think you could get for 785 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 2: him a six round pick? Because you even get that. 786 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 5: If you get a six round pick for him, and. 787 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, Murray doesn't. Murray has had 788 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 2: problems staying healthy as well, right, Wentz has had problems, yeah, 789 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 2: as well. So it's it's positive play this scenario. Lot. 790 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 2: Murray starts, he's out week three, Wentz comes in, He's 791 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 2: out week five. You want, bros, Murray want to give 792 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 2: McCarthy on and then what if McCarthy comes in week 793 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 2: seven and nine, comes back and suddenly he's brilliant, and 794 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 2: then I e there is always the fear. I would think, 795 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 2: at least from it's got to be O'Connell has to 796 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 2: I would think thing or maybe doesn't think about these things. 797 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: You already let Donald walk? What if you did now? 798 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 2: It seems like Donald McCarthy are certainly too different. But 799 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 2: Donald didn't have a lot of success before Minnesota either. 800 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 2: He'd gone from being the third pick overall. I went 801 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 2: from the Jets to Carolina to San Francisco as a backup. 802 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 2: If you were to let McCarthy go, when somebody does 803 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 2: give him some time and all of a sudden he 804 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 2: blossoms into a pretty good quarterback, that's two guys you've 805 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 2: let go. Now, I'm with you. I'm skeptical that could happen. 806 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: But you could also do it the opposite, where he's 807 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: an awful quarterback and he held on to him too long. 808 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: That's true, true, when you should have gotten rid of 809 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: him when he knew it was going to be over 810 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 1: for him. 811 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 5: You seem to be pretty down on McCarthy. I am 812 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 5: did you watch last year? 813 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 814 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 5: I and I liked him when they drafted him. 815 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 2: You did. 816 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: I liked him out of Michigan, so I loved I'm 817 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: not afraid to admit I was wrong. 818 00:43:59,360 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 5: Wrong. 819 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was terrible last year. He there's there are 820 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 1: reports that the second half of the season they wouldn't 821 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: even let him, They wouldn't even call plays where he 822 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: had to throw the ball over the middle because he 823 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: couldn't do it. 824 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 5: You can't, you can't. 825 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: You can't, especially for a guy like koc who's so 826 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: invested into his offense. He's not going to move forward 827 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 1: with someone like that that I have to take away 828 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: half my playbook. KOs loves his playbook. He wants someone 829 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: who can play with his playbook. 830 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 2: But also J J. 831 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: McCarthy go, and you know what, it was JJ McCarthy's 832 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: first year playing quarterback, but he wasn't a rookie. Yeah, 833 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: so this isn't This isn't a part where you should 834 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: still be making mental mistakes and not knowing playbook stuff, 835 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: some system stuff. 836 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 2: But what if you really believe your quarterback whisper. 837 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 5: Well, he's never said that. 838 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: That that's been a that's been a media narrative thrown 839 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: on him. That's been from the media and fans. That 840 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: hasn't been chaos going around going I'm pretty good at development. 841 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 5: Cording's every one said that. 842 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 2: Not in that way, shape or format. In that Fox 843 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 2: interview when they when they said quarterback whisper, he interjected 844 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 2: and said, look, I don't like that, but we've done 845 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 2: a pretty good job here. So he still feels like 846 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 2: he's good at working with quarterbacks. I think I think 847 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: that's about one of the feathers in his cap that 848 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 2: he has. But yeah, he's never come up and said, yeah, 849 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 2: you know, when I get to the Hall of Fame, 850 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 2: I wanted to say, a quarterback whisper on my bus. 851 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 2: But I think he's pretty. 852 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: He feels I think when it's clear is he likes 853 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: having quarterbacks that have been around for a while because 854 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,959 Speaker 1: he does have a complicated offense and these young guys 855 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: just can't pick it up. 856 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 2: This is true. I tend to agree with that as well. 857 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 2: We'll break come back talk a little NCAA basketball next. 858 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:39,879 Speaker 2: You're in the fan
