Well? 11 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 4: You know, I always mentioned the fact that you know, 12 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 4: I monitor kind of you know, my blood sugar and 13 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 4: my blood pressure just you get to be a certain 14 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 4: age got out and I got it on my phone 15 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 4: on my app, and I can tell already that my 16 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 4: blood pressure is much lower than normally is at two 17 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 4: o'clock in the afternoon when I'm here Tuesday, Wednesday, thursdays. 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 4: So you can you can draw the line and figure 19 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 4: it out yourself. But you know, doctor Burns always tells 20 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 4: me that, and I said, well, it's you try working 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: with common for an. 22 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: Hour, three hours, five days a week. 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: Anyway, you've got it. Good good to see as well. Yes, 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: stars all seem to be aligning towards Kyler Murray being 25 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: the next Minnesota Vikings quarterback because Gino Smith is now 26 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: going back to where he was drafted. He's going to 27 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: the New York Jets, getting traded from the Las Vegas Raiders, 28 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: and they were kind of thought to be like the 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: main competition for the top quarterback on the market with 30 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: the Vikings. Now it's well, I guess Vegas would still 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: need another quarterback even though they're going to have the 32 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: number one pick that they are going to commit to. 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: And I guess Pittsburgh technically could need a quarterback because 34 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers hasn't committed on Vaper yet there, but it 35 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: does appear that the Vikings are going to get the 36 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: quarterback of their choice and Kyler Murray might be that choice. 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: Well, if you're in Kyler Murray's camp and this is 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 4: all transpiring today and looking at where they're at and 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 4: where they were even before the free agency period began, 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: and now as we hit towards the official opening of 41 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 4: free agency tomorrow at at two o'clock, three o'clock, whatever 42 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 4: it is, I mean, you're playing that game of musical 43 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: chairs with the teams in the NFL. If you're Kyler Murray, 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 4: you're kind of running out of teams that even makes 45 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: sense for him to go to. And that's discounting the 46 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 4: fact that I think in his mind Minnesota was always 47 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 4: the number one choice for him for lots of reasons. 48 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: So yeah, I'd be very surprised, of course, thank everybody 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 4: else at this point. I mean, you've talked, I know, 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: at the outside of the show today about a rog 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 4: and the fascination, the endless fascination with. 52 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, and that's okay. 53 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: And even I was in the corner's office before I 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 4: came in here and I brought up Kirk coat chains 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: again only in the context of this part of the 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 4: conversation to say, and that's a rhetorical question, that this 57 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: Kirk represent a little bit more of what the Vikings 58 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: need right now. In other words, I still think that 59 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: we're avoiding the elephant in the room, and that's JJ 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: McCarthy and where he's at, worry's going, and what his 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 4: future is of this football team, and none of these 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: things can be answered certainly on March what it was 63 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: today's date, March March tenth, tenth, My gosh, you know 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: there won't be answered the first preseason game or the 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: second or the third, But it doesn't discount the fact 66 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: that you don't give up on a guy you drafted 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: that highly. I mean, I Kyler murrages. This is this 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: is supposed to be JJ McCarthy's team, his year, his time. 69 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: If the injuries are behind him. Uh, he's gone back 70 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: to quarterback camp. Whatever it might be that. You know, 71 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: there's a reason why the Vikings moved up the draft him. 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: And does Kirk Cousins represent more of that perfect kind 73 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: of backup he we already he already experienced it in Atlanta. 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 4: We all know what happened. He went to Atlanta. Then 75 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: they drafted Penix, which shocked him. On draft night, Pennix play, 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 4: I mean, Kirk plays after Penix gets hurt, and Kirk 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: gets back in the lineup, and now he's gone and 78 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: he's out there and Penix is you know, he's still 79 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: recovering from an injury. So I'm thinking if Kirk would 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: have come here, I'm not saying. 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: He's there now with tongue of by law. 82 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: Correct, that's right? And they got two and now work 83 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 4: Kyler Murray comes in here and you know, I mean 84 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 4: and of course, and as it should, it squarely puts 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: all that pressure on j. J. McCarthy to perform at 86 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: the highest possible level right away. I mean, they can't 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: afford to give games away in September. 88 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: But it also. 89 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: Funnels into that whole conversation about and we've all worked 90 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 4: at this station long enough, and I'm not saying that 91 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: it's about the fans reaction to things. Well, we all 92 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: know damn well, if j J. McCarthy starts off the 93 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 4: season like you did last year, except for the comeback 94 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: you get had against the Bears in the fourth quarter, 95 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: I mean the restlessness having Kyler Murray in the bullpen 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 4: is going to be palpable. I mean, it's not going 97 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: to take long at all. When you got that guy 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: on the sidelines who has started how many NFL games 99 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: whatever you think of him right now as an NFL quarterback, 100 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 4: it's we have a much different feeling because it's like, well, 101 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: we're just waiting for JJ to mess up, and now 102 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 4: it's Kyler's team, and once he gets in there, then 103 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: what is that going to be the end of what 104 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 4: we're going to see about from JJ McCarthy. It just 105 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: adds and I'm not saying it's the wrong decision. I 106 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 4: think Kyler Murray is going to be a Minnesota Viking 107 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 4: within twenty four hours. 108 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: But and if he is, it ain't a competition. But 109 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, what do you mean, J. J. McCarthy's your 110 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: backup quarterback. 111 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying. That's yeah, they're not competing. 112 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: They might even they might say they're competing for the 113 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: job they mcarthy. Well, okay, so let's just this is 114 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: Kyler's coming here with Hey, I'm the number one car 115 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: let's go with that assumption. Yeah, and had that. 116 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: This, I think if Aaron Rodgers came on, that's not 117 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: a competition. Murray twenty eight years old, her cousins comes here, 118 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: it might not be a competition. 119 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, so where does that leave the 120 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: organization From a standpoint of drafting what you thought was 121 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: going to be a franchise quarterback. 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: You thought, well, that's past tense. There's a difference in 123 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: you thought and you are thinking. But if you're right, 124 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: like look at the Wild for example, right the Wild 125 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: was it two years ago, Brett? Or are they traded 126 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: for David? Your check and they gave up a one, 127 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: A two, A three, A four, and damon hunt for 128 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: him all right now they have now just taken David 129 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: yarijacket right and traded him to Philadelphia for Bobby Brink. 130 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: Bobby Brink, they value in what you acquired David your 131 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: check at this point, and you sold them for way 132 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: lower than than what you bought him for. 133 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: But at some point you just go, he ain't the guy. 134 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: We got a cut bait while we can, and that 135 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: might be where the where the vikings are the JJ McCarthy. 136 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: Well, then that's then that decision has pretty much already 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: been made, is what I'm saying. You're not gonna say 138 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 4: if that's the case. And indeed, you know Kyler signs 139 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: here and ends up going to t c O and 140 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: we're out there covering practices in July, and uh, you 141 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 4: know he's running the number one offense. Uh, when whatever 142 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: team comes in here to scrimmage the vikings that you've 143 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: already decided based on not just his body of work 144 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 4: and his lack of durability last year, but his lack 145 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: of progress. Whatever they're seeing or not seeing right now 146 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 4: in your own impression of talking to everybody else on 147 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 4: that football team. Yet you're you're getting snippets from other 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: you know, maybe players on the team saying, you know, 149 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: I still believe in him, and I. 150 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: Still believe he's the guy. 151 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: It just would strike me odd that, I mean, and 152 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 4: if koc Is feels that way and that decision, you 153 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: gotta you gotta live with it because and unfortunately, and 154 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: this is like Kyler Murray camp playin in this league 155 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: for another ten years at twenty eight. Obviously he's you know, 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: he's had some injuries, but he can he can figure 157 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: that out. But to make that call right now from 158 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: that draft class based on his injuries and the lack 159 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: of availability and then you know, his inability to kind 160 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: of win enough football games, you got to make that 161 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 4: decision in April, not in September. That you're saying Kyler 162 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: Murray is going to be the starting quarterback. What are 163 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: you telling Kyler Murray as he's about to sign the 164 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 4: contract with the Vikings. You're gonna we're gonna have a 165 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: fair competition. They're coming here, you're the starter. I don't 166 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 4: believe they're gonna tell him that. Do you think you 167 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: really think they're going to tell him that. 168 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think they're signing Kyler Murray unless 169 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: the intention is to start. Well, if you want if 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: you wanted someone to like, if you still had a 171 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: belief in JJ McCarthy that he could be a starting 172 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: quarterback and you but you just wanted to give him 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: more competition, if you wanted a compet Titian type quarterback, 174 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 2: that's when you go and get a Marcus Murriota, right. 175 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: Like, that's the level of quarterback you get. 176 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is has done more in his career to 177 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: be above the. 178 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 3: Well, if that's the case, don't you just try to. 179 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray going he's going to the Jets if if 180 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: he has the if he thinks, uh, you know, if 181 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: he had been well, I guess technically maybe hasn't talked 182 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: with the Vikings, But if if there was the thought 183 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: that Kyler Murray would have to compete with JJ McCarthy, 184 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: he'd go, all right, well, I'll go play with the 185 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: Jets where I'm a starting quarterback and I don't have competition. 186 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: I don't envy them. 187 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: It's it's like, it's really crazy because the Vikings have 188 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 4: been dying the draft, a so called UH franchise quarterback 189 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 4: for how many decades now? And if they in their 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 4: own minds draft would and then we know, only got 191 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 4: to be set with the injury which was out of 192 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: his control the first year. The first year was completely 193 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 4: wiped off. The map comes back, and you know, then 194 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: he gets hurt again, and he's ineffective, and he's had 195 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 4: his has a couple of really good games. But if 196 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: you make that decision right now, a clear cut decision 197 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: to say, well, then cut Bait and you move on 198 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: with from him, I mean, I don't then you don't 199 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 4: need J. J. 200 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: McCarthy is a backup. The problem is just. 201 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: The problem is is his value has been lowered to 202 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: the point where cutting Bai. What's the point of cutting 203 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: Bade at this point to get a fifth round pick? 204 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: Like I'd rather still roll with him with the potential 205 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: that he might have to be a quarterback someday. I mean, 206 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: his value has gotten so low it's now worth selling 207 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: him anymore. 208 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I need to ask the question that 209 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: everyone is thinking, is your opinion that it's going to 210 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: be an open competition, your thoughts or maybe something you 211 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: may have overheard talking to me, Yes, maybe get into 212 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: that brain of yours making breakfast with. 213 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 4: Uh no, no, it's just my own, my own twisted mind. 214 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: I just feel like we've talked so many times about 215 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: that that quarterback class, and we've seen over over the 216 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: years quarterbacks develop at a at a different level at 217 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 4: a different time, not necessarily the first year, of the 218 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 4: second year or third yeo oh, there's no doubt this 219 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: is a make or break year for j McCarthy, no 220 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: matter how you look at it. I mean, not necessarily 221 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 4: his entire career, but certainly with the Minnesota Vikings. I 222 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 4: just I mean, I listen to your you know, your 223 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 4: feelings about it. I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just 224 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 4: to say, Kyler Murray signs with the Vikings and when 225 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 4: it opens and thinking you're our starting quarterback. I cannot 226 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 4: see KOC coming out in his news conference, Rob er 227 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 4: Zinski or anyone else saying Kyler Murray's gonna be a 228 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: Minnesota Biking and right now he is our starting quarterback. 229 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: I would wager every dollar I had. 230 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: But that's what I don't even think that they might 231 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: be trying to soften the blow for j Jit McCarthy. 232 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 4: But what they are believing, I don't even believe they're 233 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 4: gonna sell Murray on it that way. But we'll see. 234 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 4: I don't know, but I mean he's the guy. I mean, 235 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: it is clearly gonna have to be the guy. I 236 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: mean unless Kirk kirkle chains. That's what I'm saying. If 237 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: kirkle Chains decided they say, look, I'd rather go this route. 238 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: I mean, Murray may play string this thing out a 239 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 4: little bit too. I mean, he he's gonna be a 240 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: free agent after this year. He doesn't have to sign 241 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 4: with the Vikings tomorrow. 242 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: He can, he can, he can go ahead, and the 243 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: options are dwindling.

Through the Wild play tonight, the 339 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: Utah Mammoth are fourth seventy seven points the Utah Mammoth. 340 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: Right now, if the playoffs started today, the Utah Mammoth 341 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: would play the Anaheim Ducks. Oh boy, where's the wild 342 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: to have to play the Stars? So the wild are 343 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: what twelve points ahead of the Mammoth, yet would have 344 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: to play a first round opponent that is like fifteen 345 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: points ahead of what the Utah Mammoth would have to play. 346 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: And I get it, They've been doing it for years. 347 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: It's just it it doesn't seem right, like you're just 348 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 2: taking away from your regular season's success, and I get it, 349 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: and people are, oh, you just stop being one and 350 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: done and you got to be played the best to 351 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: beat the best. 352 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: It's still just not right. 353 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 2: And I know we've had this in the past, right, 354 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: we had in the NFL where sometimes the division winner 355 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 2: is eight and nine and gets the four seed, right, 356 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: But it's still just this one just seems way further 357 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: than anything we've seen. 358 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 4: So who does Meanwhile, You've got Anaheim in first by 359 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 4: a point over Vegas in the Pacific Conference, and so 360 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 4: who would Vegas play Edmonton? 361 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 362 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 2: So the way it works is the top three teams 363 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: in each division, got it same, are on the same 364 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: side of the bracket, right, So the two versus three 365 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: in each division play each other, and then the one 366 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: seeds play the two wild. 367 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 3: Card teams, which could be from either division. I see. 368 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: So right now, Utah has the best record of the 369 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: wild card team, so they would then cross over and 370 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: play the worse of the division. 371 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 3: So it's just. 372 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 2: It's it's not fair that the Utah Mammoth would get 373 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: the Anaheim Ducks in the first round. We are twelve 374 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: points ahead of Utah and then we get stuck with Dallas. 375 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: It's just say it's not right. 376 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: Well, it's not right, and there's not damn thing we 377 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 3: can do about it. 378 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: No. 379 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 4: At the same time, you know, the concern I think 380 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 4: is and this is where I'm sure that John Hines 381 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 4: and Bill Garrin of you know, when doing what they 382 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 4: did before the trading deadline, trying to build that team 383 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 4: up a little bit more physically, et cetera, et cetera. 384 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 4: Because let's just say, you know that the Wild survive 385 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: that first round series with the Dallas Stars when it 386 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: goes seven, that's gonna take a lot audio. I mean, 387 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: it's gonna be a rugged. 388 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: And then you get Colorado. 389 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 4: Then you get Colorado. Yeah, I mean, and that's just 390 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 4: for the second round. 391 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it does show you that it's whereas Utah. 392 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: If they if they play the Ducks and beat them, 393 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 2: which they will sure, then they'd get Vegas or Edmonton, 394 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: which is but they're fine teams, but they're not Colorado. 395 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: Is this gonna just not right? 396 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: Is this gonna take the commissioner, the owners, the players 397 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 4: association all. I mean, we've had this discussion for a 398 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 4: long time. 399 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've had this for a long time. 400 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: It's it was one day they wanted to create division ribers, 401 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: and at the time they did it, I'm like, yeah, 402 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: I like this idea because I remember growing up in 403 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: the North Division days right where the Stars are playing 404 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: the Chicago Black and I love the rivalries and you 405 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: play them in the playoffs and it was great. So 406 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: when they first came out with this, I'm like, ah, 407 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: I kind of like the idea of trying to create 408 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: some rivalries. Now I'm just on a board of it, 409 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: and it's it's too complicated for the average fan to 410 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: understand with the wild Cards and uh like they should 411 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: just go back to one through right, And I'm not 412 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: and I'm not just saying that because I'm a wild 413 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 2: fan that's gonna get screwed by it. 414 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 4: But I'm of the opinion when the playoffs begin, it's 415 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 4: different than the regular season. You established in the course 416 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 4: of two games, probably a rivalry with the team that 417 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 4: you're playing in the in the postseason, you'll have you 418 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: may have an odd fight or two yeal, but you'll 419 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 4: you'll get to know the villains on the other team, 420 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: even if you're not familiar with them. If you're playing 421 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 4: you know Seattle and Obviously, if you play Evanton it's 422 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 4: a whole different story. But my point is those rivalries 423 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 4: will emerge in the context of a seven game potentially 424 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 4: a seven game series. Sure, it doesn't matter if you're 425 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 4: playing Dallas or Colorado. At that point, you're playing a 426 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: team that you just have to get past to move 427 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 4: on to the next row. Nobody cares that. You know, 428 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: you'll find out, you'll find some guy who's gonna take 429 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 4: a run at Caprisos or something. He'll be, you know, 430 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 4: villain number one when they play at Excel. That part 431 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: of it, I think exactly, so, you know, but again, 432 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 4: there's not a damn thing we can do about it, 433 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 4: and uh, you move on. 434 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: And this is why I think that I can make 435 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: my voice heard so it makes future change. I talked to. 436 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 4: Our guy Kevin Gore yesterday ding during the podcast they 437 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: did with him, when I asked him about how John 438 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 4: Hines is now going to approach these final games because 439 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: pretty much the while they're you know, we know they're 440 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 4: going to finish second or third, they're there are three 441 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 4: point three points behind Dallas, and Dallas is a game 442 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 4: in hand, so it's still there for him. 443 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 2: But do you it doesn't even matter. They're playing each 444 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: other exactly Yeah, that's exactly right. But do you now 445 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: give Quinn Hughes some rest time? Do you give Caprice 446 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: so well, you played against Colorado, he might need a. 447 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: Well, what I'm saying is, I mean, why grind him 448 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 4: to a dust if you're not if it's not going 449 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 4: to matter. 450 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: They're not getting caught by Utah and they're not catching Colorado, 451 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: so they're playing in that game. 452 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 4: You have extra bodies now on this team, you know, 453 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not suggesting benching him for a couple 454 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 4: of games, but you know, no, I'm with you, old management. 455 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: Is Jewelrkson actually get some rest? Right? 456 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 4: You want these guys that obviously they have options now 457 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: with the lineup. 458 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: I was just reading who's out tonight? 459 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: Uh still Marcus, I should but no, not from a 460 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: healthy scratch who's scored nicos terms. You know, he's he 461 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: started the BEG gaming. Now he's down the lineups up 462 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: in the press box tonight. But my point is Johansson's back. 463 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my point is that you have opportunities to 464 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: give other guys some rest before this thing starts. Anyway, 465 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 4: it's a fun discussion they have and it ain't gonna change. 466 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 4: So bring on Dallas. 467 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: We'll continues on green kind of talk like a pope 468 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: pourrie of topics.

Well, you know, they had to go 484 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: bargain bin shopping with some of these fr agentscause we're 485 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 2: up against the salary cap. We had to cut cut 486 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: some salaries just to get under it. But your thoughts 487 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: on phree agency so far, because I think the only 488 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 2: external player they brought in is Steelers cornerback James Pierre. 489 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 3: Correct, this has been resigned. 490 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: Everyone else that they signed, they have to get a 491 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 4: new putter. Ryan Wright signed a nice contract elsewhere Apollo 492 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 4: resigned the long snapper, which isn't you know? 493 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: I mean, he's really good at what he does. 494 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 4: You know, I got a kick out of in this 495 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 4: context with the Vikings emptied their wallets last year in 496 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: free agency, right, they spent a lot of money on 497 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 4: a lot of guys, you know, with Hard grave Vale 498 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 4: and three four of these guys aren't going to be 499 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 4: back this year. And then I'm reading yesterday after the 500 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: first day, what are the Vikings doing? They're sitting on 501 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 4: their hands, they're not signing anybody. Well, first of all, 502 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 4: they don't have that much money. Number two, it's just 503 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 4: the first day. You got to play the long game 504 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 4: a little bit. 505 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: Now. 506 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 4: It doesn't mean that I'm not concerned about what their 507 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 4: thought process is about the running back position. I think 508 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 4: Brandall could be the center. We know they have they 509 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 4: have other holes in this on this team, but you know, 510 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: we got to kind of. 511 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 3: Let it breathe a little bit. 512 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: There are still a lot of players out there in 513 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 4: a lot of areas, and I think the idea that 514 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: the Vikings number one can't spend that kind of money 515 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: like they did a year agoing we know that didn't 516 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 4: really work out all that well. So there's different ways 517 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: of approaching it, and I'm I think it's more important 518 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 4: right now. The Vikings have all of their draft picks 519 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: and they got to use them correctly, of course, one 520 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: hundred percent. But I mean they're in a position started 521 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 4: with number eighteen overall, to add to the roster in 522 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 4: much different ways and making sure that they fill those 523 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 4: roles and they cannot swing and miss pretty much in 524 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 4: any of the top three or four. So yeah, I 525 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 4: mean it was I don't think anything shocking has happened. 526 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the list of free 527 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 4: agents out there, potential quarterback destinations, teams looking for starter 528 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 4: quarterback death the Vikings current top quarterback, oh JJ McCarthy 529 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 4: that you know, the Steelers have Mason Rudolph, And yeah, 530 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph, he's still in the league. So I mean 531 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 4: it's just I think tomorrow, when the bell officially rings 532 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 4: at three o'clock, we'll get some more movement. 533 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 3: Again. 534 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 4: It's not to say that Kyler Murray is going to 535 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 4: be in Minnesota Viking by five o'clock tomorrow, but he 536 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 4: very well could be because as he may have already 537 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 4: told his agent, but Arizona first of all has to 538 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 4: cut him loose. That has to be official, and I 539 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: don't think that that should be more of a formality 540 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 4: than anything else they've told me. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, 541 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 4: it's yeah, nothing, he's not He's not going. 542 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 3: Back any means as another backup runterback. 543 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 4: So I mean I would I mean, certainly by Thursday 544 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: or Friday at the latest, but I wouldn't be surprised 545 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 4: what happens tomorrow. 546 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: We mentioned earlier that the New York Jets traded for 547 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: Geno Smith from the Las Vegas Raiders for a six 548 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: round pick. But an interesting note I just read from 549 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: at ESPN dot com Rich Simony. He writes, you know, 550 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 2: because they could have just waited for Geno Smith to 551 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: be released, but they opted to trade a sixth round 552 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: pick for him. Right, well, they traded a pick swap 553 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: six round pick for Smith and a seventh rounder, and 554 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: as Semony writes, if the Jets had waited for him 555 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 2: to be released. At four pm Wednesday at Eastern time. 556 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: They could have signed him for one point three million 557 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: dollars the veterans minimum, right, but they would have faced 558 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 2: competition for him. The Minnesota Vikings were known to be interested. Well, 559 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 2: I think they were. I don't think that's a secret. 560 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they were interested, and it's have 561 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: to suggest that it was still not going to be 562 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. But that's the thing too, is that as 563 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: Arizona trying to get some sort of trade compensation for 564 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: for Murray, I don't I mean, I don't know what 565 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 2: they're going to get for him. I don't think that's 566 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 2: going to happen at this point. But yeah, I think 567 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: Geno Smith's name was mentioned as much, and some some 568 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 2: people in in you know, the Vikings Orbit definitely were 569 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 2: like Gino Smith, even though he's older and been around 570 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 2: that he might fit what KOC likes to do more 571 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: than Kyler Murray does. So I don't think it was 572 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: it would have been a shock had he come here. 573 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: But obviously Kyler Murray is a sex year of using 574 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 2: that term name and player and more dynamic with whatever. 575 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: And I use the term shortcomings I don't mean because 576 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: you can't see over the lineman, but but you know 577 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: what I mean, there we go Horn for that one. 578 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: But I think that's I do think it's all going 579 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: to happen to more. I don't know what what what 580 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 4: the endgame is that Arizona is going to be trying 581 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 4: to play the deal with. They got to move on 582 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 4: with their lives as well. 583 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: Let's move on to Warren in Saint Paul Hi Warren 584 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: round with Mark Rosen. 585 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: Or well you know this was yeah, how you doing. 586 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: It? Was? 587 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 5: Really it was real interesting to see what happened so far. 588 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 5: Chicago made an excellent move. But this is what I 589 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 5: could see the Vices where they might make the best 590 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 5: move they could possibly link is trades, not not not 591 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 5: necessarily by free agents. Now I have a or somebody 592 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 5: told me the Vices could make a trade with the 593 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: Jets for their starting center a lot and he's only 594 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 5: he's astonished rookie contract. I would try to get this 595 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 5: Joe Tipman because he's played multiple positions of pass number one. 596 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 5: There good news for the Vikings though, coming out of 597 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 5: the draft. The guy that they really should get is 598 00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 5: this Jones from Iowa, the center Remmington Award winner in 599 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 5: the goal as high as some of these other linemen. 600 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 5: But this is going to be interesting to see what 601 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 5: happens because of all these centers that are either retiring 602 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 5: or all that. But I would I would say they 603 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 5: got the ability to make that they're smart enough to 604 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 5: do it, because I don't I don't believe. I think 605 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 5: they think that their offensive line is fine and Brandell 606 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 5: cannot be on an offensive line on a winning team. Now, 607 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 5: you still got foul Leyley out there. Who's that going 608 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 5: to I mean, he started since he's been in the league. 609 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 5: Would be a great pickup. Now the guy told you 610 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 5: that was going to be really well, that used to 611 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 5: be with the Vikings as a Vederian. Lowell should have 612 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 5: been in the Super Bowl. And if you look at 613 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 5: what happened between Bradbury and him in the second half 614 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 5: of the season, left side didn't give up any sacks. Well, 615 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 5: of course our division will give up one of the 616 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 5: best centers in the I think he was one of 617 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: the best offensive linemen in the league. And they got 618 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 5: two good guards. That's going to be really a big 619 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 5: thing for Chicago going against the Vikings and the running 620 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 5: back position in the draft, what you want to look for. 621 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 5: There's two Penn straight State running backs that are going 622 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 5: to go really high. Single Toonisa's guy out there. You 623 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 5: want to keep your eye. 624 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: On the other thing that you do that last night 625 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 3: last night warn. 626 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: Yep if the Vikings would would make a trade with 627 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 5: the Jets for Gerard and what it would take to 628 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 5: get that center. The guys the guy that the defensive 629 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 5: back from Indianapolis is the best defensive back available. He's 630 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 5: not going for big money, and I would say uh 631 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 5: is his first name is Nick. That would be a 632 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 5: great move for the Vikings because if they did get 633 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: rid of Garnard, I think it might take ten million 634 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 5: dollars to sign this time. 635 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 2: Thanks, thanks for Calmar. I appreciate it. 636 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 4: I'll take any lineman that played for the Indiana Hoosiers. 637 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 4: That's just me at that offensive line in the college playoffs. 638 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 4: So that's that's starting center. I don't I don't know 639 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 4: where he's even projected to go in this He may 640 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 4: not even be available in the draft. But uh and 641 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 4: those guys were beasts up front for Indiana. 642 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: UH And we did we did not do five questions today. 643 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: So I want to mention that that would have been 644 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: brought to you by Willow River Company. Willow River Company. 645 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: You know what I missed for the Vikings. I felt 646 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: like back in the day, we would randomly get steals 647 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: deep in the draft for our offensive lineman, right, like 648 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: a Matt Burke in the sixth round. Right, I feel 649 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 2: like we haven't had like an offensive lineman third round 650 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: or later hit in a long time. You grab like 651 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: they've had to They've had to spend money in free agency, 652 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: They've they've drafted a lot of linemen the last ten 653 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 2: years in the first second round. 654 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: That's what you need. 655 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: Everyone's always seeing a sixth round, especially an offensive line exactly. 656 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 4: That's my point, even mentioning the guys from Indiana. I mean, 657 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 4: there's a bunch of guys out there that you know, 658 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 4: this is where your scouts have to come through on 659 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: on uh not just draft night, but it is. The 660 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 4: board gets filled out before the end of April draft 661 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 4: and and the Vikings, as they say, have all their picks, 662 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 4: you know, they this is what Seattle's done so well. 663 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: And Seattle hasn't made any moves. 664 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 4: They lost their top running back obviously, and I don't 665 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 4: think they've signed anybody, uh yet, and yet you know 666 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 4: they'll be obviously one of the top two three Super 667 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 4: Bowl contending teams again next year. But the vikings have 668 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: to do with Shilda, and that's hit on all those 669 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: picks at least have a contribution from from those guys, 670 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 4: every one of them, every one of yea. 671 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: So one of my favorite least favorite players in the 672 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 2: NBA is Shay Gilders Alexander Well, mostly because he's a 673 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: foul baiter. But even though I don't like him, you 674 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 2: still have to respect him. Did you see his performance last. 675 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: I watched you know what. I caught the game. They 676 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: were playing. 677 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: Doubt, I mean Denver, and the game was on national 678 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 4: television and I caught second half last night, and it 679 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 4: was a really good basketball because Denver was fully healthy 680 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 4: and Joker was doing his thing, and you know, they 681 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 4: had their compliment of players, and SGA was I think 682 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 4: I think he only went to the fall in three 683 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 4: or four times, but he made some incredibly clutch shots 684 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 4: down the stretch. It was a really fun finish to 685 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 4: the game. It looks like Denver was good. They got 686 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 4: a four point play and put him ahead by one, 687 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 4: and SGA knocked down a game winner. 688 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, he can. 689 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 4: He still has those moments where he's well like Anthony 690 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 4: Everards does. Every time he took takes a shot, he's 691 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: arms out stretched looking at the ret going, wait, I 692 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: didn't get an and one. 693 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 3: But last night was why he's the MVP. I mean 694 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 3: he was. 695 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 4: He was that good down the stretch and they were 696 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: playing without chet Holmgren. You know, they're very very deep team, 697 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 4: a couple other players as well, and it's a scary 698 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 4: Western Conference with with Okce san Antonio. Obviously the Wolves 699 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 4: are in the mix. 700 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 3: They have. 701 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 4: Don't think about the fourth or fifth best record in 702 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 4: the NBA. Playoffs are going to be exciting, but you 703 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 4: gotta stay healthy. 704 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: So SGA points fifteen assists and did not turn the 705 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: ball over last night. According to ESPN research, Lebron James 706 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: is the only other player to record at least thirty 707 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 2: five points fifteen assists with no turnovers since turnovers became 708 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: an official stat in nineteen seventy seven. Nineteen seventy eight. Also, 709 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 2: this might even be more impressive. Last night was SGA's 710 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty six consecutive game of scoring at 711 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: least twenty points, incredible, matching Wilt Chamberlain's record streaks set 712 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty one to nineteen sixty. 713 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 3: Eight over then Wilt Chamberlain won twenty six. Yeah, and 714 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 3: let's face like, okase, he's a team. 715 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: How many times have they just been up thirty at 716 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: halftime and they don't need to play their starters down 717 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 2: the stretch or to go through those games without having 718 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 2: an injury that takes you out or just you happen 719 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: to have a bad shooting night, right, I mean, that's 720 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: just that's crazy. It's one thing to be Wil Chamberlain 721 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: and be seven feet tall and just be able to 722 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 2: just get lay up after layup, but for SGA to 723 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 2: do it twenty plus points in that many games in 724 00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 2: a row. 725 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was good that last night. I mean, it 726 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 4: was a really really good basketball game. You know, we 727 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 4: talked about NBA common and igue. They argue about it 728 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 4: all the time, but you know, the effort, lack of effort, 729 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 4: whatever it might be. But you had two you know, 730 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 4: class eight teams playing going at it last night and 731 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 4: it was definitely like a playoff caliber basketball game and 732 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 4: SGA was that good and Joker was almost equally. I 733 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 4: think he had a triple double again, but Denver must 734 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 4: pull that game out. But you know the Wolves play tonight, 735 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 4: we want to stay up late. Doesn't start some time. 736 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 3: I was just going to bring that up. Ten o'clock. 737 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 3: That is ridiculous. I mean, not nine, and we all 738 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: we talked about thirty. 739 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: We talked about you know, we've talked about time situations 740 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 4: going back to the Olympic gold medal hockey game. Oh 741 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 4: you got to get up at seven am or whatever 742 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 4: to watch it. Well, okay, that's one thing, But as 743 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 4: much of a basketball fan as you know, I'm not staying. 744 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 3: Up just till twelve thirty. 745 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 4: And that probably won't even start at ten because there's 746 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 4: a double I think it's a double headed. 747 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 2: Well, there is a game before him that's Austin Santatune. 748 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: That game starts at seven, So you are they are 749 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: giving a little extra window where you should be able 750 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 2: to start on time. 751 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 4: But are they creating I mean, certainly on the East 752 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 4: coast it's eleven o'clock, and I know it's it's Minnesota 753 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 4: in LA. But Lebron, I don't think it's playing tonight, 754 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 4: but still, wow, that was. 755 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: Gonna be My point is the reason it's starting at 756 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 2: ten o'clock is so you can nationally televise it. Yeah, 757 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: sixty percent of the nation is out on the get go, 758 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: including one of the markets that's in the game. Correct, 759 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 2: you know you're ever in LA at eight o'clock other 760 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 2: than John Krasinski and Max Fuller, Like, who's staying up 761 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: at ten o'clock tonight to watch a game that's gonna 762 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 2: end up it. 763 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 3: I'll be up at ten, but I'm not going to 764 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 3: necessarily be. You ain't staying through all that. I don't 765 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 3: think I am, No, I would be be crazy anyway. 766 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 3: I sleep. Even if you're in the Mountain time zone. 767 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 2: If you're living in Wyoming, you're like, wow, I yes, yeah, 768 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 2: nine o'clock and you know only versus Minnesota. 769 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 3: I guess yep, And watch this. 770 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 4: We're going to have these discussions talk about the playoffs 771 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 4: in the postseason, both hockey and the NBA. When the 772 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 4: Wild play Dallas, even though they're both the Central time zone, 773 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 4: very well could be having eight forty five, eight to 774 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 4: fifty starts right because course, oh I will, oh yeah, 775 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,919 Speaker 4: we all have an East Coast game starting at six, 776 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 4: you know, the Rangers playing someone or whatever, and. 777 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 3: I'm annoyed by that, and that's a playoff game. Yeah, 778 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 3: this is a regular season I understand that. I understand that, 779 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 3: but it's still. 780 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 2: Dart Boston, San Antonio move a half hour, I know, 781 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 2: start at six thirty. 782 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: When I saw that at ten o'clock, I went, oh my, 783 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 4: that's just that's getting out there for again, a regular 784 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 4: season game that I mean has some meaning. 785 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 3: Probably means why. 786 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 2: It means a little bit because the Lakers are currently 787 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: one back game back of the Wolves, so the Wolves 788 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 2: have a chance here to separate themselves. Will give it 789 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 2: a little two game cushinggainst La. It seems pretty clear 790 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: the Wolves and probably the Lakers are going to be 791 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 2: in that three six range. Right, we're three play six 792 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: and four plays five. 793 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 3: Yep. 794 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 2: Those teams are Denver, LA, Lakers and Houston. Correct, what's 795 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: your rank? How would you rank them in terms of 796 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 2: who you'd like to play in a playoff series? Say 797 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 2: that in Denver, Denver, LA Lakers, and Houston. Probably the 798 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 2: Lakers that's who you want to see the most. 799 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course he scares you. I mean, it's scary. 800 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 3: You have to respect him. 801 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 4: I just think that Minnesota, well, I actually probably match 802 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 4: up better against over the in the playoffs, probably match 803 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 4: up better against Denver. But I would probably take the 804 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 4: Lakers Houston as a rule. They match up well with Denver. 805 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 4: When they used to have the Big Meal, he was defended. 806 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 4: They don't have him anymore. You know, it's pick your poison. 807 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 4: I mean I think that, you know, it's also how 808 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 4: to the what teams? I think who did I see 809 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 4: there was that was mouthing off about we'd like to 810 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 4: play we have Minnesota's number. Somebody from Denver maybe it was, 811 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 4: but I mean that doesn't I mean again, we're talking 812 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 4: about the Wild playing Dallas and or Colorado and may 813 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 4: have to play both of them. That's what you hope 814 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 4: it's going to happen. It doesn't matter who you play 815 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 4: in the first round. I mean, you just had The 816 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 4: Wolves have been able to advance obviously the Western Conference 817 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 4: finals the last couple of years. If they stay healthy 818 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 4: and are this productive and mix it up, then you 819 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 4: know they can and they certainly can compete and win 820 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 4: against any of those teams. They playing into more Night 821 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 4: two against in LA against the Clippers, so they're staying 822 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 4: out there. 823 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 3: They get the back to back and. 824 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 2: They got okay, see this weekend in a dreaded afternoon 825 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: game which. 826 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 3: Apparently was that on the road that's not here? Is it? 827 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 3: I don't remember, but I thought it was a noon 828 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 3: start and I saw that. 829 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 4: I was talking. I was texting with my son. I 830 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 4: said that, and the Wolves are playing that two o'clock 831 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 4: game on Sunday. I went, this isn't going to turn out. Well, 832 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 4: I've seen this movie before. Every time the Wolves seeming 833 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 4: they play an afternoon game at home, there's sleepwalk through it. 834 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 4: And boy did they ever the other day. So I 835 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 4: expect them to play and come out. You know, it's 836 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,439 Speaker 4: you know, the bright lights of La tonight, and they'll 837 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 4: they want to put on a show even though it's 838 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 4: on late. You know, they'll be engaged tonight. Jade McDaniel 839 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 4: and Niles Reed were invisible the other night. I don't 840 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 4: think either one of them made a basket so the 841 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 4: other afternoon, So I would expect the better games is 842 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 4: by showing up tonight. 843 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 2: Big ten tournaments starts. I think it actually starts tonight 844 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 2: before the golfs. It starts tomorrow. They're the eleventh seed. 845 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: They got the fourteen seed Ruckers. That'll be tomorrow night 846 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 2: and it'll probably around aready Is, depending on when the 847 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 2: game before them ends. Right, if they win, they get 848 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 2: number six Ucla Thursday night. Are you expecting any medved 849 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 2: magic this way, Well. 850 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: Well, not magic. 851 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 4: I think they certainly, you know, they just beat Rutgers, 852 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 4: so I think they can handle Rutgers. They could certainly 853 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 4: beat Ucla. And then after that it gets pretty dicey. 854 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 4: And especially when you're playing back to back to back 855 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 4: games and you have six players on your team, they're 856 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 4: probably you don't have a couple of days off in between, 857 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 4: you're just playing, and you know, I think Nico is 858 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 4: obviously realistic enough to know that, you know, his guys 859 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 4: are going to go out there and give a good 860 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 4: account of themselves and play hard and do what they 861 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 4: have to do and hopefully get reinforcements back next year. 862 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 4: I mean, it's clear that I think Michigan right now 863 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 4: is as people get closer to March, you know, the 864 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: selection Sunday, that Michigan is kind of the cream of 865 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 4: the crop right now in the Big Ten. They took 866 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 4: care of business against Michigan State and they look like, 867 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 4: you know, the number one team in the Big Ten 868 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 4: and one of the top you know, if you start 869 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 4: throwing out your bracket, I mean it's pretty hard to 870 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 4: keep Michigan out of the final four, but the Big 871 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 4: Ten is pretty balanced as well. I'm looking forward to it. 872 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think the final four is 873 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 4: going to be spect The whole tournament's going to be fun. 874 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 4: And we're at that point now where it's here and 875 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 4: I've watched a little bit more college basketball and there's 876 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 4: some damn good teams around the country and there's not 877 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 4: going to be any given about one particular team. You 878 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 4: got Duke, you got Arizona, you got you know, the 879 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 4: usual suspects, Michigan, as I mentioned, but good luck throwing 880 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 4: out your bracket. 881 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 2: So I can say, Blake Wild get Utah. They have 882 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 2: not done well against the Mammoth this season. They lost 883 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 2: six to two at Grand Casino or Arena. Earlier in 884 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 2: the season. They lost five to recently to Utah. Bret 885 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 2: you can jime in as well, but uh uh, the Utah. 886 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 2: The Utah Mammoth have kind of had their number. Utah 887 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: Mammoths the coolest jerseys logo and all here. 888 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 3: Those are sweet. 889 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, they just need to visualize playing against the Coyotes 890 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: and imagine the old. 891 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: Because they dominated the Phoenixes. Yeah, you'd go to you 892 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 2: go to those games in Phoenix and in the wild 893 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 2: and score, and it'd be louder than when Phoenix would scored, 894 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 2: which rarely happened when they were there. 895 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 3: I assume they're drawing pretty well in Utah. I mean, 896 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 3: they have nothing. 897 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: They have a team, every team's first season yet well, of. 898 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 4: Course they're selling you know, a lot of a lot 899 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 4: of you know, they haven't sold NHL hockey out there, 900 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 4: so I mean, I'm sure they're thrilled about it. Yeah, 901 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 4: I mean, this is it's nice that the Wilder home 902 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 4: all week basically, so again it's a matter of nothing's 903 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 4: going to really move a lot in the standing. So 904 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 4: just staying healthy and getting the production and and watching 905 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 4: how Walsteed played the other day against Colorado that was encouraging, 906 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 4: and talking to Gorgy about that too, about you know, 907 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 4: they're gonna run. They're gonna run with gust Bus and 908 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 4: they're gonna Usually one team likes to just go with 909 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 4: one goalie in the postseason, but you know, Walston made 910 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 4: make it a little difficult for him the other day. 911 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 4: He was phenomenal. So I mean, it's not a bad 912 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 4: decision to have to make. If you want to change goalies. 913 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 4: It's not necessarily a reflection on that guy, but most 914 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 4: teams there's a. 915 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 3: Reason you don't trade him unless you're bringing in a 916 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 3: big rush. It looks like a whole weight of the 917 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 3: world was off his chest the other day. 918 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 2: He played spectacular and yeah, too bad, too bad, except 919 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: for the loss in that one. 920 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I was you shoot out of you? 921 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 2: Marcus Johansson back in the lineup tonight, Nico Sturm. Out right, 922 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 2: it is gonna be interesting, I think now because they 923 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 2: have so many players, they're gonna be trying to piece together, 924 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: you know, over the next month or so. What's our 925 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 2: ideal lineup going into the playoffs. Johanson's been playing on 926 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 2: that line with Boldie and Erk Sinek a good chunk 927 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 2: of the. 928 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 3: Season right now. 929 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 2: Oh, he's terrific.
