Speaker 6: Do you think he plays this weekend? And good morning,

74
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: good morning, happy to be here. A lot of the

75
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 6: folks who braved the weather, props to them. Christian Daresaw.

76
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 6: I'm kind of tired trying to figure out what's going

77
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: on with that. There are days where he doesn't practice,

78
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 6: doesn't practice, and those are planed days, and then there

79
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: are days where he doesn't practice, and you don't know

80
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 6: if they're planned days.

81
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: I don't like I put this on social media yesterday.

82
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 6: If he practices today, that would leave me to think

83
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 6: that there's probably a high likelihood that he plays.

84
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: He didn't get re injured in the game from what

85
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: I understand.

86
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 6: So it's been a wild ride for Christian Daresaw from

87
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 6: a health standpoint all year. It feels like and I

88
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 6: am done trying to prognosticate when he's playing, when he's

89
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 6: staying in the game, when he's leaving the game, why

90
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 6: he's leaving the game, Who filling in for him, So

91
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 6: I'm kind of.

92
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at. But he's critical.

93
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 6: I mean he's critical when he's available, and it's not

94
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 6: just in school. The offense has a much higher likelihood

95
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 6: of being successful.

96
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I don't know you got any intel

97
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: on that.

98
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Well, first, ladies and gentlemen, what you just heard shared

99
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: by Alan Lewis is called five and eight fatigue. Yeah,

100
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the team's five and eight and just there was part

101
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: of that diatribe that was five and eight fatigue, but

102
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: see keyword tired.

103
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the.

104
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Crafty veteran recognized said fatigue and quickly that kind of

105
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: changed his face and picked up the tempo at the.

106
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: End, and sure he activated the night.

107
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 6: Yeah no, did I had a conversation with somebody internally

108
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 6: about this situation. They're like, yeah, I don't know, man,

109
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 6: I mean it was it was like that, that's where

110
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 6: I don't know what I'm supposed to.

111
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Do, and that person has fatigue at five and eight.

112
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

113
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 6: There are many within the Love Covenant internally ht TCO

114
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 6: that probably have it, but I yeah, I don't. With

115
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: Christian Darisaw again, it is massive, like this Cowboys defense

116
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 6: is definitely gettable. One of the ways it's more gettable

117
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 6: is if you can protect the quarterback to be able

118
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 6: to throw the football around a little bit. So, yeah,

119
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 6: we'll see today. I would assume at this point he's

120
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 6: gonna be questionable, and then as it as it's tended

121
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 6: to happen all year, they'll take it up to game

122
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 6: time and kind of Christian will feel the way he

123
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 6: feels and we'll figure out on Sunday night if he's

124
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 6: available or not.

125
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, you had mentioned pa I think earlier this week

126
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 7: kind of the the idea that if if you had

127
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 7: to pick who the most important person on the team is,

128
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 7: we'll talk about the quarterback and things, but how important

129
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 7: Christian Darisaw is to this entire offense. And into the

130
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 7: Seattle game, I think he went DNP. You can tell

131
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 7: me if I'm wrong, Alec. I think it was into

132
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 7: the Seattle game d n P, DMP limited and then

133
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 7: he didn't go in that Seattle game.

134
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Is that accurate? Believe so, mother, And so today is

135
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: to day to kind of find it.

136
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 7: It's just I wonder in some cases, how over the

137
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 7: course of a week, the unknown of whether he's gonna

138
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 7: play and how you handle that over practice periods.

139
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: I think that's awful in terms of trying to prepare

140
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: for a game.

141
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 7: So just you know what that what that I guess

142
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 7: the effects of that on the offense over the course

143
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 7: of a week into a game it has to be frustrating.

144
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 7: The five and eight fatigue and all of that aside.

145
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 7: So but for the sake of this singular game, please

146
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 7: have seventy one in the mix.

147
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: Here, gentlemen, do we believe Sunday Night Football seven twenty

148
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: kfa n will be high or low scoring? Do we

149
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: think this game will be a high or a low

150
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: scoring game? Which you'all think?

151
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you asked that question, I was having a

152
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 6: hard time trying to decide I'm gonna go low scoring.

153
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: Why are you having a hard time? Five and eight fatigue?

154
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 6: No, I'm not that anywhere it's hired cited for this

155
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 6: Sunday Night came out, Oh so am I.

156
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean five and eight fatigue is something

157
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: that we don't need to overcome.

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 6: No, But I mean if they were eight and five,

159
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 6: I'd probably have fatigue on a nine am Friday morning

160
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: with twelve degree weather.

161
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 2: That's kind of part of it.

162
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 6: Oba i'ma play in Oklahoma and awake. Yeah, so you

163
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 6: can think about they're gonna lose again. Probably we'll we'll

164
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 6: get there later in the show. But no, I I yeah,

165
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: that the fatigue is real, But no, I would say

166
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 6: low scoring probably because the Vikings defense has been really,

167
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 6: really good of late. Like I was thinking about this

168
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 6: the other day, what Eric Wilson's done. We've documented all season,

169
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 6: but since adri Van Ginkle's back, they've been so solid.

170
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: I feel like Blake Cashman's play for the second year

171
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 6: in a row has flown onto the radar of how

172
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 6: solid he's been. The secondary, you know, hasn't probably been perfect,

173
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 6: but I'd say with the Vikings defense playing how they've played,

174
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 6: and JJ McCarthy in the Vikings offense not pushing the

175
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 6: ball down field, that would leave me to believe low scoring.

176
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: What do you think, Norda, Well, I just quick twitched.

177
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 7: So seven twenty percent of Cowboys games go over if

178
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 7: you were looking at totals or if you lived in

179
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 7: an area where you might be able to place a

180
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 7: wager without getting your hand slapped.

181
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: And for conicts and for context, the totals over unders

182
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: and Cowboys games are high.

183
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: They are indeed and for the Vikings, believe it or not,

184
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 7: for a team that was shut out a couple of

185
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 7: weeks ago, we saw just languishing and Lambeau and all

186
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 7: of that. Fifty four percent of their games go over,

187
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 7: the Vikings find their way to points, including the thirty

188
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 7: one nothing shut out. I actually think this will be

189
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 7: a higher scoring game, and there will be moments. There's

190
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 7: going to be some takes. I just I think you're

191
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 7: under the bright lights of Jerry World. I think you're

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 7: going to see a lot of points.

193
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: On Sunday night, Hodgepodge Central from Buffalo Wild Wings and

194
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Plymouth for the Friday Football and four checking feast in

195
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: the Capital City. Last night, ladies and gentlemen, your favorite

196
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: professional hockey team, Down Zookie and Down Midzie beat a

197
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: team that was ten to zero to five in its

198
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: last fifteen Can I get a witness and a raucous

199
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: on the applause for the Minnesota Wild The Christmas Colors.

200
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: Given gifts early.

201
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: Uh Down Zookie and Midzi Stars on fire the It's

202
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: only the third regulation loss for the bally Hood Dallas

203
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: Stars in almost two months. Uh Gus got the Gus

204
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: got the net two consecutive games came through both times

205
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: and Alex Lewis's favorite player, Matt Bolding, He's unbelievable. Three

206
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: points last night for the fifth time this season. That

207
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: was a home upset last night of the Dallas Stars,

208
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen, and it was funky fine.

209
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 6: Does that mean well for the Dallas Minnesota matchup Sunday

210
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 6: night if you beat one of their teams?

211
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Is that one for one? Right? Yeah, that's a great question.

212
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 6: No, I I really thought Hines had the boys flying around.

213
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 6: Need some hockey analysis.

214
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 7: I just just Boldie Boldi's unbelievable and that line in

215
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 7: particular with him and Marcus Johansson two goals for him.

216
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 7: That's kind of why I brought that up yesterday when

217
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 7: we were chat and hockey with Joe Smith. Jojoe Is,

218
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 7: you know, I think sometimes you're just sitting there a

219
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 7: third line, fourth line guy. It's like, oh, I get

220
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 7: a chance to work up in the top six, and

221
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 7: suddenly the production increases. He has to participate in that

222
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 7: production increase, and I think Johansson's been terrific offensively.

223
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: Hold on here to take a look at the NFL

224
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Network TV one of eight million TVs here at Buffalo

225
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,760

227
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. The wild victory resonated across the Great Divide,

228
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. You saw that sweatshirt she was wearing

229
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: and said, the Boss has nothing to do with Jerome

230
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Bettis it has to do with us, Boss and the

231
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: performance last night against those Dallas stars.

Speaker 2: Wake up, come on, come on. Alf River would have

236
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: to a game last year. Yeah, I don't know what

237
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 6: I'm looking at, but he was the most controlled.

238
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: They have hockey and Aniston. No, no, I mean they

239
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,360

Speaker 1: talking about IU, which is going to win the National championship.

246
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: And probably beat Alabama and the rose Ball. I don't

247
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: want you to have college football PTSD or in a

248
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: football feast.

249
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 6: No, But on a serious note, to have Gus and

250
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 6: Jesper Wallstead Yesper, how do you pronounce that, sir?

251
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: Guys?

00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: To have both those guys doing what they're doing in

253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 6: the net makes you feel really good. It's I like

254
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 6: the Wild buzz, a little bit that's percolated around town.

255
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Well rising to the occasion of their opponents.

256
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 7: And this has just been an off talker with the

257
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 7: oft talker with the Wild over the last several years.

258
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 7: Beat the freaking good teams in your division, please anytime. Okay, So,

259
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 7: whether it's Winnipeg, Winnipeg looks middlings so far this year,

260
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 7: but whether it was Black Friday against the Abs, and

261
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 7: know what we saw last night. One stat that just

262
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 7: kind of popped off the page to me is you're

263
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 7: loving the wind. They only allowed eighteen total shots for

264
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 7: the Stars last night.

265
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: So Gus Buss was good, yeah, but really what was

266
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: going on in front of them?

267
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 7: It's I mean, this is early December hockey, right, so

268
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 7: we got to get to April and we got to

269
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 7: see what it looks like them, but it was kind

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 7: of dominating at at Grand Casino last night.

271
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Hodge Podge Central at Buffalo Wild Wings for the Friday

272
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Football for checking and front court Feast. And the reason

273
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: we put this in the Hodgepodge there's something via x

274
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: called Legion Hoop. So when Nordo sent this to me yesterday,

275
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: this piece of intel, I'm like, Legion Hoops, We're happy

276
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: for you. Then I clicked into it and I saw

277
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: nearly one million followers, and then I read through some

278
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: of the tweets. I'm like, damn this Legion hoops. Man,

279
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: they got it going on here. I gotta follow this thing.

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: I know who no Legion hoops with nearly one million

281
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Twitter followers reported yesterday the Minnesota Timberwolves contacted the Chicago

282
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Bulls asking about a player named Kobe White. Yes, used

283
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: to play at North Carolina and actually Chris Finch and

284
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: I have chatted about him several times when the Timberwolves

285
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: are playing the Bulls.

286
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: I think the head coach has respect for the kids game,

287
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: doesn't it.

288
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: He was with he was with New Orleans when they

289
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: drafted Kobe White, and I'll refer to Kobe as the

290
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: kid with the hair and Finchy gets it. But he's

291
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: a guard by trade, kind of a point guard by

292
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: trade too. Is Kobe White for the state of hockey?

293
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: Not necessarily following a Bulls fan line with Adam Amine,

294
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Kobe White point guard by trade, and he's kind of

295
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: in a difficult spot. They got a player named Josha

296
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Getty who's a better point guard than Kobe White. Then

297
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: they got Apple Valley's Trey Jones, who's not as good

298
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: as Kobe White, but he sucks up about twenty five

299
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: to twenty eight minutes a game. So Kobe's in a

300
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: difficult spot now the Timberwolves. And this is per our

301
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: conversation with Finchy on Tuesday, when I asked him about

302
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: floor leaders and point guards. You can podcast and love

303
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Covenant on demand. It's clear that that they they covet

304
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: or potentially could be searching for a true point guard,

305
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: some kind of a floor leader. So when this thing

306
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: popped up and I saw damn Legion hoops and then

307
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Johnny kb Johnny Athletica subsequently tweeted and wrote about it

308
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, So there's some corroboration there. Uh.

309
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: Kobe White makes twelve million dollars this year. Now, remember

310
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: in the in the salary cap world of the NBA,

311
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: the second apron, Yeah you got. I mean they have

312
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: to match within a certain percentage ten or fifteen, like

313
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen exactly. So Kobe White makes twelve million dollars.

314
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: We can start there. I'm a fan of trading for

315
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: Kobe White.

316
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 7: What about you, guys, Well, I'm I'm absolutely a fan

317
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 7: of trading for Kobe White. And the thing with with

318
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 7: Kobe on this team is, and as much as I

319
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 7: love Aunt, and as much as Ant is helping my

320
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 7: fantasy league right now, from a stats perspective, how disjointed

321
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 7: it is when he's having to create his own offense.

322
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 7: He's the main ball handler, and you have these weird

323
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 7: nights where either Ant's going to go for forty and

324
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 7: then like the other night, you have everyone else going

325
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 7: two for thirty one or four for thirty one, whatever

326
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 7: the stat was. Otherwise, it's Jade McDaniel's having his games,

327
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 7: it's Nasred having his game, and then Ant's kind of

328
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: finding himself drifting backwards a bit in terms of his production.

329
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 7: So they need somebody to take the ball out of

330
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 7: Ant's hands. So Ant can put himself in spots to dominate.

331
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 7: Now in terms of COVID of this team, I saw

332
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 7: the news that the idea that Conley didn't want to

333
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 7: wait until the trade deadline.

334
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: So first of all, I dig that mentality. That's good.

335
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: We need a freaking point guard. Assuming it's accurate. Now

336
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm riding that it is.

337
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 7: But I will add on that a lot of calls

338
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: are made and not a lot of trades come through

339
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 7: because trades in the NBA with the second apron and

340
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 7: the tacks and all those things become quite difficult. Yeah,

341
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 7: and guys, although Conley's been pretty shifty with him, guys,

342
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 7: Guys kind of get married to their draft picks once

343
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 7: in a while. So I saw from Johnny k yesterday

344
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 7: that they have made the call, but nothing is exactly

345
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 7: imminent now. That could change in ten minutes, but that's

346
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 7: where it's at right now. I love Kobe White on

347
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 7: this team.

348
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: And Alec Lewis when the Timberwolves are going to the

349
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Western Conference Final finals.

350
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, he's sidebar guy for the athletic You know.

351
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: The thing is these primo media seats that he gets

352
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: in the corner about fifteen twenty feet from the floor.

353
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: Con game, a stringer work that he does during the.

354
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: These high leverage postseason games. And then I just can't

355
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: wait for the story at the Athletics, can't wait, still

356
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: wait anywhere they keep refreshing.

357
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: I wrote like three story thres. I under I understand

358
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: that Boston the Lexus club, so that that.

359
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: Inherently makes alec an elite NBA mine. Now the the

360
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: the key here if you're in favor of this, which

361
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: it sounds like at least two thirds of us are.

362
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so the cast is in favor.

363
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: And just to amplify wood, Nordo said about kind of

364
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: a void at the point guard spot. They've been using

365
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: Dante DiVincenzo there and I, you know, I'm not trying

366
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: to be James Naismith, but it doesn't work.

367
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: He's not a point guard, so we'll just dot it.

368
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 7: My My dumb take was, you saw it once in

369
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 7: the playoffs when he was with the Knicks, so naturally

370
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 7: that would happen here and it.

371
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: Would work, and it hasn't worked well.

372
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: And we also saw Julius Randall run point forward in

373
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Series last year, and that's okay as

374
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: a mixer, But like when it's your thing, then then

375
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: it gets easier to stop. So if this is accurate,

376
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: I see what they're doing here. The question would be,

377
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: if you trade for this guy making twelve million this year,

378
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: who would leave and why? So the way I looked

379
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: at it from a salary standpoint, I believe Dante Divincenzo's

380
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: right around twelve million dollars a year. That could be

381
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: a straight swap. Oh, Kobe White for Dante DiVincenzo. Okay,

382
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: if you want to get exotic and like like, I

383
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: don't see them trading Edwards Randall.

384
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: What about Rob I don't think, well, yeah, it doesn't

385
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: make en up. That's the problem.

386
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: But he Dillingham could be part of it because maybe

387
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: they won a fifth point guard on their roster to

388
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: compliment the other form. But I don't think anybody would

389
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: trade for Rudy Gobert, so I draw a line through him.

390
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels. He's at twenty four million dollars, all right,

391
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: So you can get Kobe White. And then they got

392
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: a player on their team who played for Cleveland named Isaacacorro.

393
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: He can't score a lick, but he is a big

394
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: time perimeter defensive player Auburn supposedly what de Vincenzo was

395
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: going to be.

396
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: Along with hitting threes.

397
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: Kobe White is a better three point shooter than Dante

398
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: DiVincenzo for my taste, and he also handles the ball

399
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: better as a true point. So if McDaniels is a

400
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: trade ship here, you'd have to pedal him. Now you're

401
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose some defense, Ain't no doubt. But Kobe White

402
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: and a Coro add up to j Mac de Vincenzo

403
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: could be a straight swap.

404
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: What do you think? Here's the one thing.

405
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 6: First of all, John Krasinski on this yesterday on social media,

406
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 6: and I trust John. Yeah, I can tell you that

407
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: there is absolutely nothing cooking there right now. Could that

408
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 6: change down the road. Maybe he's certainly a name to watch,

409
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 6: but nothing percolating yet. So yeah, it's not something to

410
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 6: dismiss entirely with the way John said that reading between

411
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 6: the lines, one quick segue, I'll have I the Sun's

412
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 6: game on that weeknight was like a no brainer Wolves loss,

413
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: like a weeknight.

414
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: Game on here.

415
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, the weeknight game against the Suns team without Devin Booker,

416
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 6: Like you knew they weren't showing up at the beginning

417
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: of that game and feeling it's felt like since I

418
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 6: moved here in twenty twenty two, like they do this

419
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: every year, where it's just early in the season against

420
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 6: a team that they should easily beat, they are incapable

421
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: of doing that, and it's it's very frustrating to watch,

422
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 6: at least for me, someone who likes basketball.

423
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: But I do feel like the point.

424
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 6: Guard spot would really allow them on both ends of

425
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 6: the court to be much better. It's unfortunate that Rob

426
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 6: Dillingham hasn't progressed I think to the to the spot

427
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 6: that you'd hope that he would at this point. He's

428
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 6: still a young player obviously, but we'll see to the point.

429
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: Finchy gave Bones Highlands money the other night, and.

430
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: Bones Highland like sometimes you watch sometimes you watch Bones Higland,

431
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: You're like, man, that guy can.

432
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: Really score the Bones ball.

433
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 6: But it's just yeah, it's not probably a sustainable path.

434
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: So Kobe White, for sure, I just for me, And

435
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 6: and again this isn't the Kobe White conversation. I just

436
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 6: would love on a Tuesday night when they're playing the

437
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 6: Suns at home to be have full conviction that they

438
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: are going to come out and give it to the

439
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: other team on that night, and I just have never

440
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 6: Like I texted a buddy looking that the Wolves played

441
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 6: that Tuesday night and I'm like, this is not this

442
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 6: is not gonna go well.

443
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: And I shouldn't feel that way. I really I shouldn't.

444
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: That's next huge here, right, Nordo. Yeah, that's college sports mentality,

445
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's fine. And when you grow up in a

446
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: in a blue blood college sports market like with Alabama

447
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: with the Crimson Tide or college basketball, and and ALEC

448
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: follows that markedly more closely than us every single minute

449
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: of every single game. Isp your hands, get down, slide

450
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: and play defense. This this is the NBA, man, and

451
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: it's and it's November and December.

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 8: No no foam fingers in the media seating, Okay, I

453
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 8: I I understand, I understand, But like they should against

454
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 8: the Suns a Devin Booker list sons. Yeah, I mean

455
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 8: they made Colin Gillespie look like Larry Bird. It just

456
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 8: it should it just shouldn't happen, absolutely correct, even if

457
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 8: your professionals.

458
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: Will you get paid to show up every night? Yeah,

459
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: so that's my standard.

460
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 7: Well, the problem with the the n b A and

461
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 7: I will I I just I look at it and

462
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 7: I love my favorite team. I want him to win

463
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 7: every game. Uh, show me how many teams in the

464
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 7: NBA play with absolute conviction the Thunder, what's their record?

465
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 7: There may be one team in the NBA right now

466
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 7: that actually plays with conviction on a nightly.

467
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: Base and honestly, they grab you by the throat two

468
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: minutes into it. Yeah, they take pleasure and play their

469
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: best players longer than anybody else, and then they're like, yeah,

470
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: we're up forty two.

471
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 6: I think we can check out. So yeah, the Thunder

472
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 6: are what twenty four and one? Sir, it's one of

473
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: the most. People aren't talking about it nationally, but it

474
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: might go It might end up being like one of

475
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 6: the best.

476
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: You know why they're not talking about.

477
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 6: It nationally, I don't know, because they're focused on.

478
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: The NFL talking about Kobe White changing games for the

479
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwell.

480
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: You want to change the conversation, Uh, beat in some games?

481
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 6: No, listen, I just look, that's my standard is I

482
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 6: should have faith on a Tuesday night that the Wolves

483
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 6: are going.

484
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: To come out and beat the Sun. No, I'm with you,

485
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: and if I don't, that's a problem.

486
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 7: You need a season ticket next to Jimmy Ka, King

487
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 7: of the Rubes, so that both of you can start

488
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 7: your chance and you have oh yeah, the doorbuster deals

489
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 7: for the first five hundred.

490
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: Fans in the stadium. They've got part Burger in there.

491
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: I go one of those at halftime, the foods the

492
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: lead of Target Center.

493
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 7: I just wonder that the hardcore, that the hardest of

494
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 7: hardcore Wolves fans. Yeah, what what kind of meltdown they

495
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 7: would have if you said, hey, uh, Jade McDaniels, he's

496
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 7: headed to Chicago and in return, you're getting Kobe.

497
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: White, oh cool man, and Isaac Okorro I know, averages

498
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: six points a game. Fantasy football, Fantasy Basketball Nation is

499
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna love that absolutely.

500
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: Now.

501
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 7: I also wonder, as a complete, you know, just non

502
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 7: basketball related note, but with that team, if you traded

503
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 7: Jaden McDaniels, does Anthony Edwards get annoyed.

504
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: They're not trading McDaniels. I don't think they will. But

505
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean, just because the most.

506
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: Said jadon, I agree with you nine point five out

507
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: of ten. I put that name in for one reason because,

508
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: for whatever the reason of late McDaniels is working on

509
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: the producer's last nerve.

510
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Because he's inconsistent.

511
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I put that name in and

512
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: actually researched Isaac KRO's salary.

513
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 7: He started out the season with career numbers and he

514
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 7: still has a chance to get there.

515
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: I like Jayden McDaniels overall, but whether it's.

516
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 7: Inconsistency in the playoffs, he's either shooting eight to ten

517
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 7: or one of seven like we saw a couple of

518
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 7: days ago. Appreciate the defense, appreciate that, but I just

519
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 7: see he's a black hole on offense too often for

520
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 7: my taste to make him this budding star that I

521
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 7: feel like we're being sold on. People will disagree with that,

522
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 7: but that's where I'm at on McDaniels. I like him

523
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 7: on our team. I don't want him to leave.

524
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: I just need more consistency out of him.

525
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Hodgepodge Central has come to a conclusion and Around the

526

Speaker 1: could not be a Buffalo wild Wings Plymouth today. But

Speaker 6: That'sc on how it goes at the First Resource Bank Christmas.

583
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: So we got shirts podcast going for the podcast.

584
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, the podcast is, I mean it's it's it's not

585
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 6: the audio network, the vast and never expanding, but but

586
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: it is. Yeah, the Alex Lewis Shows. It's it's been good.

587
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 6: It's the five and eight. Fatigue might be affecting the

588
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 6: host's ability to a little bit give it everything he's got.

589
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 6: But can I lock you into a commitment? I can

590
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 6: get a shirt on it. Potentially we'd have to run

591
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 6: that up the flagpole, I understand. And via YouTube, the

597
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 6: Someone commented on a recent episode and said that I

598
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 6: sounded like I have a sinus infection permanently as a

599
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 6: harsh That was real harsh.

600
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean that's you know, there's there's five and eight

601
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: fatigue for more people than just the three up here

602
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: right now, mister Alex. All right, bikes bikes darnum, my

603
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: headphones went out a minute ago. Bikes bikes provided.

604
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: By I believe it's thousand Hills Lifetime grazed grass fed.

605
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: All right, here's the first question. I do bikes bites

606
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: on Friday. Given Ordo a break from it, he does

607
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: a great job Monday through Thursday. He gets an opportunity

608
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: with Alex Lewis from The Athletic Theathletic dot Com to

609
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: opine on some of these hopefully pertinent queries. And the

610
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: first one is off the Vikings News with which we

611
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: started thirty five minutes ago. Christian Darisow hasn't practiced two

612
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: consecutive days, my practice today, my play over the weekend.

613
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: But for either one of you, how much does it

614
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: hurt if Darisaw does not play in this game?

615
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: Gigantic?

616
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 6: I mean it's absolutely gigantic because the drop off is

617
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 6: a mint to go from Christian Darosol both in the

618
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 6: run game and the past game, to Justin's school. Hey,

619
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 6: Justin school has had a hard go this year for sure,

620
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: and so there's no question. And it affects the entire

621
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 6: plan too. Nordo, you kind of insinuated this earlier, but

622
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 6: there's such a difference if you're the offensive staff designing

623
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: an offensive game plan when you know you've got a

624
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 6: chip on that side every single time, and it affects

625
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 6: the number of players out in the route, it affects

626
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 6: the types of runs you can call. It effects, you know,

627
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: just every aspect of the Vikings game plan.

628
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: So it's massive. Christian Darrisaw needs to play in this game.

629
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: And I will say, like the Cowboys last week didn't

630
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 6: have Tyler Goeyton their left tackle. They had a backup,

631
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 6: Nate Thomas. He gave up eleven pressures in the game.

632
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 6: So any team that doesn't have their their left tackle,

633
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 6: you're gonna feel it to a level that really hurts.

634
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 7: Frankly, Yeah, after JJ McCarthy. He is the most important

635
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 7: person in this entire operation. And the up and down

636
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 7: will he play? Will he not play?

637
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: The five and eight fatigue, all that.

638
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 7: It just I'm beyond exhausted just trying to figure out

639
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 7: whether or not he's gonna be on the field.

640
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: So I hope he is. He has to be, whether you.

641
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 7: Know, when you're trying to even whether you're in a vacuum.

642
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 7: Just a singular game with Max Brosmer didn't go well,

643
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 7: and the first couple of weeks of the season, we

644
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 7: remember what justin school looked like in those first two

645
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 7: weeks against the Bears and Falcons. The drop off is

646
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 7: just like jumping into the Grand Canyon. So we hope

647
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 7: that seventy one can play. It means a ton to

648
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 7: us being able to put up some points and match

649
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 7: dak on Sunday Night.

650
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Vikes, Bytes, Vikings and Cowboys. The pre game is at

651
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: five thirty for KFA M five thirty. Audio network affiliates

652
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: pick it up at six thirty than the Boom right

653
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: around seven to two to two Sunday night from AT

654
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: and T stadium, and if this is a high scoring game,

655
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: then the wide receivers probably would be prominent in the game.

656
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, here's the Vike bite. Here's the Vike byte.

657
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: Take two number two.

658
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: Better one two wide receiver tandem And why Jefferson and

659
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Addison or C. D.

660
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: Lamb and georgege Pickens. Well I go with that one.

661
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just I'm gonna go straight Homer on it.

662
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 7: And I think that Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and

663
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 7: all are healthy when all are rolling.

664
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the better tandem. Now.

665
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 7: Now, the issue though, is that most of these conversations

666
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 7: have to include the person that's throwing it to him again.

667
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 7: You know, it's like we talked about like we're wasting

668
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 7: Jefferson's prime. Well, we we're wasting everybody's prime if we

669
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 7: don't figure out this QB situation and stats are cool,

670
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 7: the wins and potentially playoff wins and potentially a Super

671
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 7: Bowl me more. But in this conversation, I think Justin

672
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 7: Jefferson is the most dynamic and versatile wide receiver of

673
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 7: the entire group, and flip a coin between Addison and Pickens.

674
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 7: But for me, this is all moot because of watching

675
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 7: what Dak is able to do in that offense. We're

676
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 7: going to talk more about your doc. Thanks for giving

677
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 7: me about twenty minutes to actually look at it. You're

678
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 7: sending it late. I don't know what's going on with

679
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 7: your schedule. Sorry, the film watching required a lot of

680
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 7: time this week.

681
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 2: No, I understand that.

682
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 7: But to that end, what Dak's able to do with

683
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 7: those guys versus what we're seeing, which is just it,

684
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 7: it's abysmal at times in this offense, and that's part

685
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 7: of the five and eight fatigue.

686
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: I think we have the better tandem.

687
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 7: We also have one of the most underutilized tandems and

688
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 7: the unrealized fruit of said labor by receivers in the NFL.

689
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 6: It's actually it's it's a really good question. Uh pa,

690
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 6: So so I I appreciate the question.

691
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: Well, thank you. It's a low hanger, as if it

692
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: were Mark just looking to kill segments.

693
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: Among the four five and eight fatigue though five and

694
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: eight fatigue the announcer as a jill among.

695
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: The four receivers, Justin is easily the most reliable. Okay,

696
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 6: I would say Jordan Addison, the potential is definitely there.

697
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 6: But the production of those other two guys specifically this year.

698
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 6: I you know, I don't know how reliable George Pickens is,

699
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 6: but this year in particular, he's been pretty reliable. So

700
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: i'd probably for right now had these two guys. If

701
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 6: you giving me for the have the Cowboys two guys,

702
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 6: if if you're giving me the option.

703
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: For the future.

704
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, that's what it is. It's like it's quarterback. Yeah,

705
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: same level of competition, all healthy. Like the Nord said, well,

706
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean Addison has provided some headaches along the way. Yeah,

707
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: I have a feeling the headaches provided by George Pickens.

708
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: There's no remedy. Their stories, Like you.

709
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 6: Talk to certain people in college, and there's stories of

710
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 6: like him showing up like forty five minutes before the

711
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 6: game date I I like, no Georgia.

712
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: He went to Georgia George.

713
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 6: Picks Yeah he's from Hoover, Alabama, got it, But like

714
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 6: him showing up like early late right before.

715
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: The game poop Alabama? Is that where the Lewis Feldman

716
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: Law Firm is Like? Anyway, what is this an ad segment?

717
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: We got now? I'm run for the eleven.

718
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 6: No, no, but George Pickens and Cedee Lamb just to

719
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 6: segue to this game in particular, like this is a tough,

720
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 6: tough test for the Viking secondary and what.

721
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: If Pickens can't get around Fabian Moreau.

722
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 6: I I you asked Kevin O'Connor earlier in the week

723
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 6: about Fabian Moreau, and it was it was interesting to hear. I.

724
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 6: I George Pickens against Fabian Moreau is like me guarding

725
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 6: Kobe White on the basketball court.

726
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: It's just not a no offense. But it's that's just

727
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: George Bess they said when Danzler's shut him down last game.

728
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I uh, look George Pickens and his ability to run.

729
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 6: One of the most interesting things about the Cowboys is

730
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 6: they run slants at such a high clip, Like they've

731
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 6: targeted slants on like ten plus percent of passes.

732
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: Outside jump TD number six.

733
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 6: But the hard part is if you're going to try

734
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 6: to allocate multiple defenders to George Pickens, that opens up

735
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 6: space in the middle of the field. And if you're

736
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 6: trying to allocate multiple defenders to both guys on the outside,

737
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 6: there's a lot of space.

738
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 2: In the middle of the field.

739
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 6: So it is a tough challenge for Brian flors defense

740
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 6: and this is where I go back to, like the

741
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 6: script of the game, for the Vikings to get ahead

742
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 6: early would be huge To then put them in a

743
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 6: situation where you can probably activate pressures, activate blitzes and

744
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 6: really get it. Dak, Presscott, but Dak. I think Dak's

745
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 6: playing at a really high level.

746
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: Round.

747
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 7: So in the end, who is the tandem if all

748
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 7: things are the same, I mean, just say Dak and

749
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 7: Pickens in front of all these Vikings.

750
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Yes here, well Justin I he's the best of the four.

751
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: Addison is a has been a more reliable receiver with

752
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: the right quarterback than Pickens.

753
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: Nineteen tds in his first that's true. That's true. I

754
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: think that's a separator.

755
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Jefferson has proven no matter the QB, because I mean

756
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: Dak's have the steady QB. Dak having a wonderful year,

757
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: but CDs had him every step of the way. Justin's

758
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: had to adjust to a bunch of different ones and

759
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: still has been better.

760
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 6: It's really a question of like, do you believe more

761
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 6: in the upside of George Pickens or Jordan Addison and

762
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 6: I I it's a hard one to answer.

763
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: I do think for as much.

764
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 6: As the you know, we've seen some of the off

765
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 6: field self of Jordan Addison. We've talked about George Pickens

766
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 6: and where his head's at. I mean, that's that is

767
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 6: that is kind of a dice roll. But the ceiling

768
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 6: of George Pickens is, as Michael Jordan once said, at

769
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 6: the roof or whatever, through the roof.

770
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Pickens is unrestricted after the year.

771
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's gonna make a boatload of money regardless

772
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 6: of where he goes and whichever that.

773
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 7: Plays into his production though, I mean, he finds himself

774
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 7: in an offense, But I don't think it's completely unreasonable

775
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 7: when you when you see some things we saw it

776
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 7: with I'm just using obscure vikings right now, but like

777
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 7: a Faudio Denebo has the type of year that makes

778
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 7: you think he can start games and it's a disaster.

779
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 7: Patrick Jones into a contract year. Kyle Pitts did last night.

780
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 7: Kyle Pitts, he has he did what no tight end

781
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 7: has done since like ninety six or something. They Shannon

782
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 7: Sharp related names being thrown out means that was historical.

783
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 7: But I'm just curious how much a contract year motivates

784
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 7: a guy individually. Now everyone everyone gets paid off by

785
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 7: right with the production and the wins potentially, But I'm

786
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 7: just curious.

787
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: You know, Pickens.

788
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 7: He might be weird, but I don't think he's an

789
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 7: off field issue. Like you don't You don't hear about

790
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 7: him in like legal snaffoos. Yeah, you just be mercurial.

791
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 6: It could be sure, No, I I mean, look, he's

792
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 6: a fascinating player, say you, and he does some stuff

793
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 6: on the field where you're just like, I have never

794
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 6: seen some of that stuff, So it's impressed. It's It's

795
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 6: gonna be interesting to see how the Vikings try to

796
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 6: defend him on Sunday night, and I'm looking forward to

797
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 6: watching the plan that they try to impose.

798
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: Those are Vikes.

00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: And here we are. This is what we do at KFAM.

810
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: Coming up at ten o'clock, we're going to get into

811
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: some fantasy football involving wide receivers.

812
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: But first a break from that.

813
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: With the college football bowl system not being an elite

814
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: college sports mind, the ball system's cool.

815
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: I dig the ball system.

816
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the hardcores from like tuscal Loosa and Gainesville

817
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: and things like that, maybe they're not super super big

818
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: on the college bowl system.

819
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: What's your favorite bowl?

820
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: Probably the Rose Bowl because I've attended it several times

821
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: at Arroyo Seco in Pasadena, California.

822
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: Beautiful place, wonderful and your.

823
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Team should hope to get an opportunity to be it

824
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: said beautiful Arroyo Seco in a week and change. But

825
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: the college football ball system, I think is cool and

826
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: a question we posed yesterday for Ben Leeber beloved Nacho

827
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: and and he he had a pretty stark opinion on it.

828
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: Alec follows college football very closely growing up in Alabama,

829
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: the Alabama Crimson Tide football teams.

830
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: Everything matter, You still say roll tide do I say, Yeah,

831
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: I mean I live the lifestyles well done. So just

832
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: let me hit you with this.

833
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: Whether it's Notre Dame, Iowa State, Kansas State, these teams

834
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: that skip the ball games. As a college football snob,

835
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: somebody who cares about it, it's an important diversion for you.

836
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on teams skipping bowl games?

837
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's part of me that selfishly I

838
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 6: enjoy watching the bowl games. It's nice on a Wednesday

839
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 6: in late December or whatever to be able to flip

840
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 6: on the TV and see some absurd game in Jacksonville like.

841
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: That that it has no bit. It's it's just entertaining

842
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: to be able to turn that on, just like a

843
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: one pm Matt Net. Yeah, like between South Florida and Connecticut.

844
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just highly entertaining. Remember when they used

845
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: to have like the Blue Gray Ball on Christmas?

846
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Well Birmingham.

847
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 6: Birmingham used to have the Papa John's Bowl. Then it

848
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 6: became I mean it and and it like it's fun

849
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 6: for these towns.

850
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: A little bit.

851
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 6: But I will say, like I also see the part

852
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 6: of it where it's like, what's the point I mean,

853
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 6: what's the point we got.

854
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: If you're a coaching staff, you gotta be out recruiting. Uh.

855
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: The players are in the portals, so they're not tied

856
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 6: to their teams, which I don't like any of this stuff,

857
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 6: but it's just kind of the nature of where college

858
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 6: football is at, so I'd probably see it a lot.

859
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: Of different ways. And teams are by the cash to

860
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: be in now, right, and it just it just feels.

861
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 6: Like college football is becoming, has become, maybe has always

862
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 6: been just professional.

863
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: Frankly, like, I don't know how let's to say it that.

864
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: So this doesn't really like move the meter for you

865
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: super negatively or super positively, Like like, I mean, you know,

866
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to take Notcho Libra out of context,

867
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: but he was like, shame on you.

868
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: College football.

869
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: The system so broken and things have gotten so out

870
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: of hand on so many different levels. That's why this

871
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: is happening. They're taking us a stand, drawing a proverbial

872
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: wine in the sand, and he's all for it.

873
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And part of me does feel like there is

874
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: way too much.

875
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 6: Priority put on the playoff and making the playoff to

876
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 6: where it's diminished almost everything else. And it definitely affects

877
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 6: like the history and the pageantry and part of what

878
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 6: makes college football different and special, and so that's kind

879
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 6: of frustrating and infuriating. But now I don't I don't

880
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 6: get crazy upset about it. Like Missouri Mioma Mater a

881
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 6: couple of years ago, they beat Ohio State in a

882
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 6: bowl game, and like I had a bunch of college

883
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 6: buddies and they're pumped we beat Ohio State. I'm like, yes, okay,

884
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 6: but Marvin Harrison didn't play, and they don't like their

885
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 6: quarterback didn't play.

886
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: So what does it really do for you? I don't know.

887
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 6: I see it in a lot of different ways, but

888
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 6: I'm not crazy passionate about it. I just hope, and

889
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 6: I think I'm hoping for something that is, you know,

890
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 6: that doesn't really have Like my hope doesn't matter, but

891
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 6: I hope college football just doesn't lose some of the

892
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 6: essence of what makes it different and special.

893
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: And it feels like we are losing that. I think

894
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: it's already been lost.

895
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: They just showed something on one of these TVs at

896
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Wild Wings Pllyymouth for the Friday

897
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: Football Feast, like like the top twenty five nil earners

898
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: in college football, and it's reported because it's you. It's

899
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: very hard to get like like like hammer in on

900
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: exactly what it isn't from whom. But you know with

901
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, they were all super accurate with the three

902
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: and change, you know up to four that that was

903
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: reported when he was a rookie.

904
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: Who's the Texas quarterback? Arch Manning? Arch Manning? Okay? Is

905
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 2: he a freshman or a sophomore? I think sophomore, junior? Okay?

906
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: And you know what, here, here's what's sad about it.

907
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I'd like to ask, is he really good?

908
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he's going to be the next Manning

909
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: to pop tags and make a lot of money and memories?

910
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: In the end, it doesn't matter. He's a Manning. Who's

911
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. Six and a half

912
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: million dollars for the nil six and a half million dollars.

913
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: Holy cow.

914
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 6: There's a basketball player at BUYU right now, aj De

915
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 6: Bonsa I think is his name, and he's making six

916
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 6: to seven million million dollars. It has become such big business.

917
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 6: And again there's part of me that understands, like we

918
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 6: all watch it. We all love it, but it's definitely

919
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 6: affect don't know what you guys are saying.

920
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm nervous about it. But no, no, no, no, yeah,

921
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: it's your five. Yeah.

922
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: We just had a secret handshake. Sure, we're moving on

923
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: to the next part.

924
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, the thing with arts Manning though, I think,

925
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 7: and somebody can fact check me on this, there was

926
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 7: some bit where he was offered to three million dollars

927
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 7: at Texas, and I think he actually turned it down

928
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 7: because Quinn yours was getting you know, maybe five hundred

929
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 7: thousand dollars or something much smaller, and so Arch is like,

930
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 7: I can't be chilling on the bench making three mil

931
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 7: while the starting QB at Texas is hawking chicken tenders somewhere.

932
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, So I you Indiana University. I've heard of them, Okay,

933
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, A football school is what they

934
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: tell us, beloved Hoosiers, go Hoosiers. Do you think or

935
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: what chance do you believe as a college football snob

936
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: and an elite football mind, what chance do you believe

937
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: IU has to win the national championship? A pretty good chance.

938
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 6: I mean Kurt Signetti, who took over that job a

939
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 6: couple of years ago has ascended into a place. From

940
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 6: a coaching like perspective, this last form. This is more

941
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 6: than Mark Cuban ohing tens of millions into the sports

942
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 6: programs and bringing in I mean, like they got four

943
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 6: key guys from James Madison. Yeah, there's part of it

944
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 6: where they are definitely they definitely have a certain amount

945
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 6: of funds that allow them to play with the big

946
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 6: boys from a personnel perspective, But the coaching there is

947
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 6: so good and so sharp. And then their quarterback this year,

948
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 6: Fernando Mendoza, is a potential number one pick. And so

949
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 6: when you've got that guy and you're well coached, and

950
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 6: then what blew me away in the Ohio State game

951
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 6: was they just manhandled the fronts offensively and defensively in

952
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 6: that game.

953
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: So they can control the front.

954
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 6: They've got a quarterback, they have skilled players, they're really

955
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 6: well coached. It's hard not to I mean, it's hard

956
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 6: not to buy into Indiana and what they're capable of.

957
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: Pretty crazy.

958
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: And lastly, from College Football Central, your beloved Bama, Your

959
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: beloved Bama team Crimson Tide at Oklahoma a week from

960
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: today in Norman, Oklahoma. The winner gets Indiana University gets

961
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: those hoosiers at the Rose Bawl a week later. I

962
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: mean you and the marketing director, you and those with

963
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: the Alex Lewis show t shirts. I mean, you gotta

964
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: be going to this game, right, you have to. No,

965
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going.

966
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 2: I mean no, no.

967
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 6: Alabama this year has lost a lot of my respect.

968
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 6: They just shouldn't even be in the playoffs. They play

969
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 6: they are, They shouldn't. They play a style offensively that

970
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 6: drives me nuts. They try to throw it around the

971
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 6: yard with the quarterback, who is fine. It's a lot

972
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 6: of like designery plays. They don't run the ball, you know,

973
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 6: the play call it the quarterback is is for neetic

974
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 6: oftentimes dumb question.

975
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 7: And it's still the bar down there, right, it is

976
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 7: still de bor down there. What are the prideful Tide

977
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 7: lovers and tuscal Loosa think about.

978
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 6: Demor Well, I if he wins, more than they'll like him.

979
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 6: It's it's a bottom line business, just like the Wolves.

980
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 6: Just like the Wolves on a Tuesday night, if you

981
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 6: show up and you play the way you need to play,

982
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 6: then you will be respected by the fan base. But

983
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 6: they have a standard that has lead and bred success

984
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 6: for a long time, and so if they lose to

985
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 6: Oklahoma for the second time this year, people will be

986
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 6: really frustrated, and they have every right to be because.

987
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: They expect you're not going to this game. Exit No,

988
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 2: I don't.

989
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 6: It's really hard to watch Alabama for me this year. Well,

990
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 6: the reason I mentioned that they shouldn't be in the

991
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 6: playoff though, you're you're a front runner.

992
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 2: I didn't.

993
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: You're a no, no, no no, you're a front runner

994
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: with your very this is your very favorite team of

995
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: all of them, and amazingly, to some, including you, they

996
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: have a chance to win the national champions They shouldn't

997
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: even be.

998
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 2: In the playoffs.

999
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 7: It's it's they They Notre Dame started the year with

1000
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 7: close losses to Miami and then I believe it was

1001
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 7: A and m who are both in Yeah, and they

1002
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 7: ran the table the rest of the way there. And

1003
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 7: I know they're putting fifty on Stanford here.

1004
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: I get that. I can't.

1005
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 7: But the most recent example of tied football is them

1006
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 7: just getting housed okay and outclassed to the max by

1007
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 7: Georgia in the SEC title game. It should have been

1008
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 7: Notre Dame, which is why they were totally right on

1009
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 7: multiple fronts to not take the carrot and deny a bowl.

1010
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: Okay, no, well, will do it next year.

1011
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen Poopy Dave, who is a He's one of

1012
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: my very best friends for a quarter century. He's I

1013
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: mean he he started following Miami football. It was Ray Lewis,

1014
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: it was, it was at Reed, it was it was

1015
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: Jeremy Shockey, it was it was that whole group. And

1016
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: so like when you and Johnny Ojampa too used to

1017
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: work for kfa Erik Gore, excellent basketball player.

1018
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 2: Johnny Oh's listening right now too. Well, if he's a

1019
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 2: Canes fan, that means he hates Notre Dame.

1020
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: They're blowing up my phone with the with with the

1021
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: robbery that took place with the Canes or whatever. And

1022
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: I wish the Canes could play Alabama so they could

1023
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: beat them by I mean, I get I I didn't

1024
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: read the stories, but I saw enough with the headlines

1025
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: and the subheads to recognize, Ah, Notre Dame thinks this.

1026
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 2: Oh, Miami beat beat Notre Dame.

1027
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: And Kendrick Perkins just told me this on ESPN, and

1028
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: then we got this guy over here saying this.

1029
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I understand when is.

1030
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: College football or college sports not shrouded in some form

1031
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: of controversy.

1032
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 2: So I'm able to put it off to the side.

1033
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: We have the teams.

1034
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: Your favorite team is one of them, and if they

1035
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: win in Norman and I should be there, then okay,

1036
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: if they do win, or you're going to the rose Ball,

1037
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: probably not, why because I don't have to don't. Oh, no,

1038
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: the death wait the Vikings play middle of the week

Speaker 1: for your for for covering it for the game.

1040
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. No, I've seen a lot of

1041
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 2: football this year. Just head out, head out West.

1042
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,880

Speaker 2: Didn't Oklahoma get the be you at Tuscaloosa earlier this year?

1046
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 2: They already beat Alabama, this fool.

1047
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: You know what they say, stuff to beat a team,

1048

Speaker 1: play thank you, especially in college football.

1049
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 6: You know what they also say, got to get the

1050
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 6: first first down. Let's get the first first down. Offense goes.

1051
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 6: Once you get the first first down.

00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:15,560
