Speaker 3: I need to bet that out? Well, it will do well.

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: But I mean, I can't imagine that you would relocate

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: everything to Nashville and have this, have this venture you

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,800

00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: Now it's nine years, nine years.

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: But what would do is we just we take the

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: same concept and we rename it something Tennessee and ooh yeah,

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, we get I don't know, we hear duck.

Speaker 2: We can do something. It don't matter. You know movies

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: take the same concept down there and just expand, expand

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: and grow. Yeah, you know you know Howkinson and George

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,160

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: Somewhere in the last two during the Olympics, Jared Allen

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: joined nine to Noon. We're talking about curling, because like

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Kittle live here. They're really close friends. And before I

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: Francisco for mac Jones, all right, before I stopped thinking

00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,480

Speaker 2: round draft pick by the Vikings and No. Six played

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: through twenty sixteen, left on his own terms, which is cool.

124
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: We have an acting general manager who I think will

125
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: be the full time general manager wants the proverbial dust clears.

126
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Of whom I love.

127
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: But it might not even be the general manager name.

128
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: It may just maybe different, and they brought this guy,

129
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: this cat in named Matt Thomas, who I've never met,

130
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: but talking to George Peyton, general manager of the Broncos

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: at the Combine, and some other people around Thomas is

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: like a bunch of teams tried to get him out

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: of retirement the last year, year and a half, two years,

134
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: and he decided that, Okay, I'll come out of retirement

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: relocate for a spell to Minnesota to like help with

136
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: the capologist part. So therefore, if this guy's rolling into

137
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: Brazinski's role now and Brazinski rolls into another role now,

138
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you hire somebody else, like, what do

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: you do with briz Yeah, these guys in your chair

140
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: got to give him the job. I think, I think

141
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: the way it goes, I mean, I think I'm so

142
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: excited for this, this next, these next, you know, two

143
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: to three months, four months, whatever this is, we get

144
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: just to the draft less than that to see how

145
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: this takes shape with a guy like Brazinski looking at

146
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: from his perspective and using the personnel department, the scouting

147
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: department that is out in the world that every day

148
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: on college campuses, looking at film, looking at kids, understanding

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: who they are and then relying on them, which every

150
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: GM does. But how much do you rely on your

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: own opinion over somebody else's who's pitching you a kid

152
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: that they love. And maybe Brazinski's perspective of that will

153
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: be different since he's coming and do this anew and

154
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: fresh and different and seeing the game for thirty years.

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: He's been around it from a different perspective and coming

156
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: into a year where we have all sorts of cap

157
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: issues and financial stress. So how can we work that

158
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: thing out? It's gonna be really fun to see. I'm

159
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: so excited for our fan base because of the fact

160
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: that he's running this operation, and I think it's gonna

161
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: be really good. What if he crushes the draft, I mean,

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: because it's what you mean. What if he's gonna be

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: the GM and we're gonna pay him but whatever, he

164
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: wants to get us to the super Bowl every year,

165
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: but x amount of the last x amount of years.

166
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, man, but like it's been

167
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: hard to pigeonhole or figure out like who's picking whom

168
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: and why? So even like in free agency, so Grenard

169
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: and Bang Ginkle splash splashy. But then you'll get people saying, well,

170
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: that wasn't quazy, that was Flores right, Well, I mean, okay,

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: then how come when things are terrible it's quazy. Yeah,

172
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: the GM, the GM needs to take credit for those

173
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: situations because you're using all the it's your decision. You

174
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: you pull the string, you make the decision, you write

175
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: the contract.

176
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: But all those factors are fair. You're talking to Flores.

177
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Is he fit the scheme? Howigen use him? Does the

178
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: money work? Like you're talking to these groups, you know,

179
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: it's not like there's a schism. It's on You're simply

180
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: saying who gets the who gets the credit, and who's

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: taking the blame. At the end of the day, the

182
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: GM's gonna faull should fall to the GM every time

183
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: ever tes he's the one making the final decision, taking

184
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: all the cards that are on the table and saying, yep,

185
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: that's the direction we're going. Final call. And in some

186
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: cases it works and you get extensions. In some cases

187
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: it doesn't, then you get fired. But see that's why

188
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: they roll new money man in. So Brazinski's chair is

189
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: fall So what are you gonna do with briz if

190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't stay in the current role? Moving forward? That's

191
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: why I think it's fade to complete. But how how

192
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: how brilliant could this be by the organization when it

193
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: comes to getting credit for things personnel wise that work

194
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: or getting slammed when things don't work. He doesn't have

195
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: to have the GM tag.

196
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always love that one. Yeah. I mean, we'll

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: have a GM to rip or to praise, but we

198
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: really do. Maybe it's the new model. They were creating

199
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: a new model, right and they tried that last time

200
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: with quasi.

201
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

202
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: Anyway, so go ahead.

203
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 1: Just like positionless basketball, we have positionless executives.

204
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and that sort of worked.

205
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: We had the triangle of power back in the day,

206
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: and then there's a schism and we all learned a

207
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: new word back in the back in the old days

208
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: and childrens. But I think what you bring, you bring

209
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: him in because you want to take with that load

210
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 2: off of Brazinski to support him and what he's doing,

211
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: because now you're trying to wear these two really big

212
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: hats and decisions and you have all this stuff coming

213
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: at you. Now all of a sudden, you're you're the

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: lead on the player personnel department, in the scouting department.

215
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: You're trying to put all this.

216
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: Stuff together for the draft from a new role, new perspective,

217
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, like you know, what's

218
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: going to come down to is on draft day. I

219
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: think is most interesting is like he's been in that

220
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: room so many times and seeing things from different perspective.

221
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: Now you're the one making the call, along with maybe

222
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: you're head coach, along with your ownership. I mean, there's

223
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: a lot of factors that go into that thing. So

224
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be very interesting. Again, we have to

225
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: trust that within that building, those roles have been shaken

226
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: out and they know what's going to happen on game day.

227
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: On draft day, here's who's making the decision, and here's why,

228
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: and who's in those conversations.

229
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Well, I just I just wonder, you know, looking back, equasi,

230
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: because very few organizations I would assume the GM is

231
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: making a selection without the coach. I mean, yea, you know,

232
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: there's got to be in house responsibilities taken by the

233
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: head coach, by the defensive coordinator, by the people involved

234
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: that identified these individuals. I can work with that, I

235
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: can make that work, and then it doesn't. There's culpability there.

236
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I just wonder partly, you know, going

237
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: back to they spent what three hundred and forty some

238
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: million dollars on their roster a year ago most in

239
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. Even if we had gone to the super Bowl,

240
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: or even if we had been a playoff team, if

241
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy looked good, we were still going to be forty

242
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: five million dollars over the cap. So just even take

243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: like the drafts out of it, and again that collaboration

244
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: or however the heck it looked or worked in there,

245
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: we were always going to have to go, oh my god,

246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Brian o'neils last year of his deal, he's twenty three

247
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: on the cap, Dara Saw twenty two, Jonathan Grenard twenty two,

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Hargrave twenty one. This was always going to be a

249
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: complete financial rats nest and a mass exodus. So even

250
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: taking the draft out of it, part of me is thinking, yeah,

251
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the general manager was let go because he made a

252
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: complete disastrous mess of this team financially that regardless of

253
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: last season's outcome there we're gonna be the mass exodus

254
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: that we're seeing now.

255
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: I think the one caveat to that is then where

256
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: does the owers fall on the financial decisions? Because at

257
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: the end of the day, when you talk about Brazinski,

258
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: that's the role that you know, at least as an

259
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: outsider who doesn't understand the day to day what he does.

260
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: He's in that position to help manage this thing to

261
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: get to the right spot. So clearly it's gm down

262
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: making the decision. We're going this direction, rob make it work,

263
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: and you try to make it work, and now you

264
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: get your cap in a tough situation. You're gonna buy

265
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: Now it's about fix it time. And a lot of

266
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: this stuff is done just because you look at you

267
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: know where the Bears are saying, well, when you got

268
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: a young quarterback who's really good, you're not spending fifty

269
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year in a quarterback. It allows

270
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: you to make these decisions. In free agency that's just different.

271
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: And we're in that position. But we went and spent

272
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: the money. These other directions didn't necessarily work out. Now

273
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: we're going to find that new direction. This is a

274
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: turning point in the organization with a really good roster,

275
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: and this is in an overhaul. But there's gotta be

276
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: some hard decisions.

277
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: To be made.

278
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: Let me set this up with some qualifiers. Okay, these

279
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: are feelings hurt a Voiden's qualifiers. This is in no

280
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: way to say Quasia Dolpho Mensa was not this person.

281
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: This is in no way to say Ryan Grigson at

282
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: tall others with the program are not this person.

283
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: All right, here we go three two.

284
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: So the face of the franchise, I guess you could

285
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: say is Justin Jefferson. But Kevin O'Connell is also a

286
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: major major piece in this equation, and you know, Rob

287
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: every bit as well, if not better than me Rezien scheme.

288
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: If there's anybody who at any time, because O'Connell is

289
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: extremely well respected former Coach of the Year, has one

290
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: dramatically more than he's lost.

291
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: We all know all the stories.

292
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: Got to win a playoff game, whole thing to who

293
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: much is given, much as expected, whole thing. But nobody,

294
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: including Andy Read, Bill Belichick, Vince Lombardi or Tom Landry

295
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: have made every decision the right way. Okay, So if

296
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: there's anybody in that building who has the ability, in friendly,

297
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: friendly fire or friendship like fashion to say, kayo, let's chat.

298
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: About this real quick.

299
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: You know why, why what do you think and go

300
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: back and forth in non confrontational fashion like dogs a

301
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: man's best friend. It's this guy Brazinski, and I think

302
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: that matters. Yeah, it does matter. And his personality and

303
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: because he's been here for so many different coaches and

304
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: so many different now owners as well, is you have

305
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: you have this perspective of the long the long play

306
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: of I've done this and seen this and have all

307
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: these relationships and connections, and that matters because KOs is

308
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: looking at Rob Zenski to say, I can trust this

309
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: guy and we can work together. And I think every matters.

310
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: That trust is going to be And I don't think

311
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: he's overmatched. I don't yet, Yeah right, No, I mean,

312
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: and I think the perspective he brings from the CAP

313
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: side is going to be be unique in to say of, hey,

314
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: this really hurts us or this really helps us. Here's

315
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: why you know, although you like player X, Y or Z,

316
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: here's a position that puts us in now in three years,

317
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: et cetera. That to me, it's about his professionalism, he's

318
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: been to work with guys, his personality.

319
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: That is the number one reason why this will work.

320
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

321
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: I've been I've been excited to ask you this question

322
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: for about a month because I've asked Pete and I've

323
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: asked Ben, you're the You're the only one of the

324
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: trifecta not to uh not to have faced the fire

325
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: of this question. Oh boy, did Brazienski ever squeeze you

326
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: on deals while you were here?

327
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: I always love the Lord unbelievable? Did he ever squeezing you?

328
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: Did he ever?

329
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: You remember the day I came in here when he

330
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: asked me to squeeze out some cash and that I

331
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: was making too much money?

332
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: Want me to take a pay cut? Thank you all?

333
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: When our boys Zimmer came in. Now, you're gonna get

334
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: me all fired up. I just want to earn brace

335
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: squeezed you. Uh. And he does it in a way

336
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: where he loves you. He loves you, but he's gonna

337
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: squeeze you because he's just got to do it. And

338
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: you know that came a decision where the coach comes

339
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: in and says, hey, do I need do we need

340
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: to pay this to this guy? Because what are we

341
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: getting from him? I'm not I'm not saying Zimmer's twenty fifteen.

342
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Zimmer said that. I just don't know

343
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: any other way it could have went down. Yeah, And

344
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: and I love I love playing for code Zimmer. But

345
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: he came in, he said, hey, this is my team.

346
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: Here's where the money's gonna go. I'm not sure the personnel,

347
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: not sure if Chad's gonna fit into the system. Can

348
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: he make changes? And I had to, you know, you say, hey,

349
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll better myself. I'll take the pay cut.

350
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: And I got all the I got all I got,

351
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: scooped all the chips.

352
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: Eventually he took me extra year.

353
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: You got squeezed, and but I ended up getting, you know,

354
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: the biggest win there was to be able to retire

355
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: of Viking Play eleven years and and and still get

356
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: the chips they owed me in my eleventh year.

357
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: So I got those dollars back.

358
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is you got over on Brazinski

359
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: when he thought he was squeezing. Now he definitely got

360
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: the win. And I mean, you can't he can't take that.

361
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: He's the best, he's the best. And the versation and

362
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: I sat down with him at the combine for a

363
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: twenty five minute interview and like when I started, I

364
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: just started laughing. Yeah, I'm like, why am I laughing?

365
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

366
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: Because I've known you twenty seven years. You're the bomb.

367
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: You're great to private, you can be trusted. You're not

368
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: a back talker, you're not a bleep talker, which is

369
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: rare in this day and age. And you're the type

370
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: that can be talked to about professional and personal stuff.

371
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: And the heart. You can just feel the heart.

372
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: And I'm like, all of that's between Pete and I

373
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: and I'm like, damn, yeah, So you got to like

374
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: the GM role here, man, this is cool.

375
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he's not.

376
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: You know, he's coming from from a professional standpoint of

377
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to climb to something else. I want

378
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: to be here. I'm you know, we'll call it content.

379
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be here. I want this organization to win.

380
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm all in. I'm not looking for like this is

381
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: if I do well, I can go get this job

382
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: or if I do well, I can go get that

383
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: job or get this these dollars. Like, it's not about

384
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 2: that great, it's about doing really good in this role

385
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: because I love this organization, team in city and stay

386
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: in the fan base, and I think that that matters

387
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot. But he's he's also which we haven't said,

388
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: he's extremely smart, and but he can articulate that and

389
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: he can use that, and I think that's the most

390
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 2: important part. And then he's calm, calm, He's been there,

391
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: done that, he knows everybody's trusted.

392
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, love it, love it. What if?

393
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: What if Razinski and staff nailed the draft and like

394
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: thren Whin, they nailed the draft when they nailed the draft,

395
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: and the players help immediately and they win markedly more

396
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: than last year. And he rolls into Matt Thomas's office

397
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: looking for a rais and he gets squeezed. I always

398
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: say I would love you money. Guys squeezes, I can't.

399
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: I hope I get invited to that meeting just to

400
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: squeeze him. Liebert didn't get squeezed. Leebert, accordingly, look at him,

401
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: got everything you wanted. Guys that look like that get

402
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: whatever they want all the time. Lee cout check Greenway,

403
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: check Greenway. Courtesy of Gray Duck. Vodkun spirits from the

404
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: rumor mill. If and then you know these are reliable

405
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: people tweeting this and reporting on him. If Alan and

406
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: Hargrave indeed are released, then I'm guessing they feel certain

407
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: that the Vikings would feel certain they can get what

408
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: they want in the d or And this is weird

409
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: to say, because everybody's like searching for the best new

410
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: three technique, Like the three techniques and defensive tackles have

411
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: kind of become the new quarterback in free agency in

412
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: the draft.

413
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: However, with the.

414
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: Way the Minnesota Vikings run defense is de emphasizing the

415
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: defensive line due to the way Flores calls a game

416
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: and and and the reason I say that is because

417
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: some Nordo and I talked about it yesterday. Somebody tweeted,

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: I have no idea who this Marcelo was or whatever

419
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: his name was. Like, if you're a defensive tackle in

420
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: a like defensive tackles defensive linemen, they don't flourish or

421
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: it's not super important in a Brian Flores defense. Javon

422
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Hargrave retweeted the tweet. I'm like, damn, is that really him?

423
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: Wow?

424
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: So you know, on his way out, you know, he

425
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: kind of offered up a shot there saying, Hey, you're

426
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: right with what you're saying. So, like, de emphasize defensive

427
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: line even though you got Jalen Redmond and stuff.

428
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: What do you think?

429
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when you look at that, you look

430
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: at our season, and you might be able to say

431
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: that from a pass perspective, a pass rush perspective. Because

432
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: you're bringing pressure, guys aren't able to go four across

433
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: and pin their ears back and go get a rush.

434
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: You're trying to get creative. You're trying to send a safe,

435
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: You're trying to send them back. You're dropping defensive linemen

436
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: in the coverage. Then we check those run stop at

437
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: stats and the fact that that gutted our season this year.

438
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: Good point.

439
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 2: It gutted our season from a standpoint. If we couldn't

440
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: stop the run, we can't beat Atlantic. Because we can't

441
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: stop the run, we can't win certain games that we

442
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: had to have. Looking back a game away from the playoffs,

443
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 2: you go get two of those back because we can

444
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: stop the run game and tell me it doesn't matter

445
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: to have defensive line right and because you're not putting

446
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: up the splashy, I'm going to get fourteen to fifteen sacks.

447
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: There's there's multiple ways to play defensive line and be

448
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: really good at it. Check you know, check the Williams

449
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: wall right, check these really good into your defensive lineman,

450
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: check the Lynn ball. Hungary like our ability to stop

451
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: the run and make quarterbacks beat us in a certain

452
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: direction in a league now that is now emphasizing the

453
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: run game more so than it's been emphasizing twenty plus years.

454
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: Good point.

455
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: We better get that thing short up because if we don't,

456
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: we have a problem. And to me, that's where defensive

457
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: line is at priority. Now, what was that defensive line

458
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: I want to do? He wants to get sacks because

459
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: guess what, that's where the dollars come and so and

460
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: that's where that big free agent contract go. Get doble

461
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: digit sacks a couple years in a row. Boom, you'll

462
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: get a thirty million piece. I mean, it's the way

463
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: it goes these days. So I understand where hard gets

464
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: coming from from the retweet of hey, yes, I want

465
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: to get I want to get more. But reality is

466
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: are personnel we have to worry about. Can we stop people? Yeah,

467
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: and last year we didn't do it enough. Later in

468
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: the year, of course we got a going, but we

469
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 2: can't have that gap in the middle. Let me close

470
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: with this with JJ McCarthy is what's what's low key

471
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: frustrating me. Through all of the loud free agent quarterback

472
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: noise I and others are hearing and enduring because free

473
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: agency officially begins Monday. Is I and others have stopped

474
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: focusing on McCarthy and an expected plan to help that

475
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: investment grow, mature, improve. Brazinski told Pete and I at

476
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: the combine he feels some of the criticism of McCarthy

477
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: is too harsh and unfair. So, I mean, like JJ

478
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: McCarthy's name is just completely lost in this whole equation. Yeah,

479
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: and I think you have to remember that this kid

480
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: is a rookie in games played still to this point,

481
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: he's a rookie like middle of his rookie season towards

482
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: you know, three quarters the way through. So you have

483
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: to give him that, and you have to be able

484
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: to be patient enough to understand that. Now it's about

485
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: how do you bring him to that next phase of

486
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: his career. Who do you bring in to help along

487
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: with that? That's not going to either threaten right or

488
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: say hey, you're going to sit because we can get

489
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: this guy for a year, you're gonna watch. I don't

490
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: know what that conversation is, like, I'm not sure what

491
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: the competition is gonna be, Like, I'm not sure what

492
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: the direction we're going to go, but we need a

493
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: plan and go after the guy who gets us that

494
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: plan to work. Yeah, don't give up on this when

495
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: the guy's in the middle of his rookie year. And

496
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: I think that's one thing is span You got to

497
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: be patient, You got to focus on the actual. You know,

498
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 2: we want something so bad, but the reality is is

499
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: these other quarterbacks are sitting and waiting and going out

500
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 2: and playing, or they have a really good rookie year

501
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: and they have a sophomore slump. Or Phone Nix comes

502
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: and has an okay rookie year and come back to

503
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: second year really strong, like it hasn't been just show up.

00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Sat down and chatted this morning with football and more mortality.

539
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: Peter King.

540
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: I had nine questions in front of me to hit

541
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: Peter with, and his answers were so thoughtful in vain

542
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: opening that we broke this bad boy up into two segments.

543
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: And with this one, I asked him about the NFL

544
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: getting together with gambling sites, and I asked him, is

545
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: it a non starter for you, PK? Or does it

546
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: bother you?

547
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 4: Bothers me tremendously. You know, it was eight years ago

548
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: that Roger Goodell spoke about gambling like it was like

549
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: it was COVID, you know, like it was the scourge

550
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 4: of professional sports. And now they invite it into the

551
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: living room and have it sit at the dining room

552
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 4: table with him, and they're willing partner with all these

553
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 4: gambling companies. Look, the NFL is a best of greed, period.

554
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 4: There's no way anybody can convince me of anything otherwise.

555
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: And so the NFL will say that, well, you know, look,

556
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: you know, gambling now is legal in whatever thirty nine states,

557
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 4: I don't know how many it is, So you know,

558
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 4: we are going to go into business with a lot

559
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: of these gambling companies. I get it, but to me,

560
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 4: there's so many examples when you watch games on Sunday

561
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 4: of the NFL selling its soul to these companies, and

562
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: I just I don't like it. And I just think

563
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 4: in a few years we're going to see it hundreds, hundreds, thousands,

564
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: maybe even hundreds of thousands of lives ruined by sports gambling.

565
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: And I think it's I think it's wrong, and I

566
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 4: think the NFL could and should have a conscience about it.

567
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: Peter King a very pointed commentary on gambling in the

568
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: NA Thank you for that. Are there other facets of

569
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: the current NFL, Peter, that trouble you?

570
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the biggest one is the NFL

571
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: trying to go to an eighteenth game. You know, the

572
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 4: NFL will pat itself on the back over and over,

573
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: time after time, day after day, we are doing so

574
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: much for health and safety. Well, if you're doing so

575
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: much for health and safety. In twenty twenty one, you

576
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 4: asked all of your best players to play six percent

577
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: more snaps, so, in other words, a six percent more

578
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: of a chance for a guy to get a serious injury.

579
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: And now you.

580
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: Want to add an eighteenth game, Okay, that's going to

581
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 4: add six percent more so, in other words, over the

582
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: last five years, if they add whenever they add the

583
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: eighteenth game, it's a freight train rolling down the tracks.

584
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 4: It's almost certainly going to happen. If they do that,

585
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: That'll mean that in the span of a couple of years,

586
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 4: a game that is already incredibly injurious is going to

587
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: get twelve percent is going to subject its players to

588
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 4: twelve percent more risk of getting injured. That bothers me

589
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 4: a lot. It's like nothing is enough. After they get eighteen.

590
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: I will guarantee you that someone in the NFL is

591
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: going to start playting the seeds. We ought to play

592
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: twenty games. I mean, Paul, it's you know, you see

593
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: this game. You see guys get carted off week after

594
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: week after week. You see guys getting CTE in this game,

595
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: you know, and dying young and all this, And I look,

596
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: I think football is a great game, but I think

597
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: at some point someone has to stand up and say

598
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: enough is enough. We need to appreciate the game as

599
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: it is right now and stop trying to continually, you know,

600
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: instead of saying, hey, we make twenty five billion, now,

601
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: let's set a goal to make thirty five in the

602
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: next ten years. Yeah, can the NFL do it? Probably right?

603
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: But but what's at what cost? I just I mean, look,

604
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 4: somebody in the players union has to stand up and

605
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 4: say we are not going to do it, and they

606
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: have to campaign for it. A big star has to

607
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 4: stand up and say we are not going to accept

608
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: the playing of an eighteenth game. And if it means

609
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: that you're going to lock us out or do whatever,

610
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: go ahead and do it. See how long that does anyway? Whatever?

611
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: All right, So, so just a couple more here, PK

612
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: Peter King nine to now, so off what you just

613
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: said about about you know, take it to squeezing everything

614
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: out of the metaphorical turnip that you can get the

615
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: NFL going international. I remember, I love that, Okay, we

616
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: love that it continues to expand. I mean we now

617
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: have games in Madri in Australia coming up this year.

618
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: But see, I remember my first experience calling a Vikings

619
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: game in England was at Wembley when Everson Griffin toppled

620
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Big Ben and sacked Ben Roethlisberger to win the game.

621
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: And I talked to you after that game right when

622
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: we got back, and you were loving the NFL going international.

623
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: In fact, the first regular season game was in two

624
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: thousand and five in Mexico City. So this international flavor

625
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: does it make forty years of the game?

626
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: Your book? It does.

627
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: I would have liked to have written more on it,

628
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: but I wrote I went to the first two Germany games.

629
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: I went to see Brady against the Seahawks in twenty two,

630
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: and I went to see Mahomes against Miami in twenty three.

631
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: And I love it because, Paul, I'm telling you, when

632
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: you go over there and you see how many people

633
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: in these countries absolutely love the NFL. I can't speak

634
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: for Madrid. I hear it's pretty tepid there. But there

635
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 4: are countries England, Ireland, Germany. Germany is nuts for the NFL.

636
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you want to develop that? I mean, you know,

637
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: quite honestly. Pete Carroll after that game against the Patriot

638
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 4: the Bucks in twenty two, he said that, and they

639
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: had a nine hour flight to the game. He said,

640
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: I hope they schedule us here next year. I mean

641
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 4: the teams. I think the teams will complain about the

642
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 4: logistics and the length of the flight and all that stuff,

643
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 4: but most teams, I think most teams really enjoy the experience,

644
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: and I know that, you know, you can do things

645
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: about the bye being after this game. You can do things.

646
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: You can arrange it so that it isn't going to

647
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: be really terrible for the bodies. Now, let's see what

648
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: happens in Australia. The only thing I would say about Australia,

649
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 4: and yes, it's a fifteen hour flight, that's that's awful,

650
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: I get it. But the one thing for the Rams

651
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: and the Niners, but I would just say one thing

652
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 4: about that, they're going to probably play that game on Wednesday. Okay,

653
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: nobody plays in training camp. So in other words, those

654
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: two teams are probably going to go to Australia five

655
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 4: or six days before the game. Yep, they're going to

656
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: practice over there. They're going to play this game. They're

657
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: going to come back. They'll get back to the West

658
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: Coast and let's say Friday morning, Okay, they'll have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

659
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: and maybe Tuesday off and then they'll prepare for the

660
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: next game. I just don't think that that is the

661
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: incredible hardship that some people will make it out to be.

662
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: It's like when the Friday Night game happened in Brazil

663
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: and Green Bay and Kansas City had eight hour flights

664
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: after the game. Yeah, it's a long flight, it's borderline whatever, tortures,

665
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: whatever the right word is.

666
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: But it's bad.

667
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 4: But you also get in Saturday, Saturday morning, Saturday noon,

668
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 4: and you have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday plus half a Saturday off.

669
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 4: So I don't think the travel should be the reason

670
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 4: why anybody gets down on it. Plus it allows for

671
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: people who love football that nine to thirty Sunday morning

672
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 4: window on the East Coast, eight thirty in the Twin

673
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: Cities to have an extra game. If you don't want

674
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: to watch it, if you're going to church or doing whatever,

675
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 4: you don't watch it, you wouldn't Most of those games

676
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: wouldn't be national games anyway.

677
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: They just be.

678
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,680

Speaker 2: machine are really enjoying these stories. Go to ww Norton

690
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: dot com ww Norton dot com pre order the book

691
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: called The Game Last One. Peter's access to the best

692
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 2: of the best in the history of the NFL is unprecedented.

693
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 2: And that's not a hyperbolic statement. I mean there are

694
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: age old journalists who would say the same thing. What

695
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: are some keys to earning that trust, Peter and sustaining

696
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: it for multiple decades?

697
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 4: I mean the biggest key for me was working for

698
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 4: Sports Illustrated. Look in nineteen eighty nine when I went

699
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: to SI. I remember in ninety or ninety one, I

700
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 4: walked into the Cowboys locker room on a Friday afternoon

701
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 4: and Michael Irvin yelled, Hey, we're in a Sports Illustrated

702
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: game this week, and you know, so that was a

703
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 4: big deal, okay in those days, and that was the

704
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 4: good fortune. Covering a game for Sports Illustrated was bigger

705
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 4: than if anybody from ESPN other than probably Chris Berman

706
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: showed up, and he didn't cover games really, but so

707
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 4: that is that was a huge factor because if you could,

708
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 4: you know, Dion Sanders, why did I get close to

709
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 4: Deon Sanders Because he knew I could put him on

710
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 4: the cover of Sports Illustrate, not me, but you know

711
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: I could do stories that would land him on the

712
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 4: cover of Sports Illustrated. And so you know that's why.

713
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: I think that's that's the number one one reason, the

714
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 4: fact that Sports Illustrated allowed it. But I think the

715
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: next reason was even when Sports Illustrated's importance and significance

716
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 4: started to diminish, let's say, you know, two thousand and eight, ten, twelve, whatever,

717
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 4: I think I had the kind of relationships with people,

718
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: veteran people in the game. You might look at, well, geez,

719
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 4: what about how do you get in a room with

720
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 4: Andy Reid for fifteen minutes alone after a Super Bowl

721
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 4: in twenty two and twenty three? And I will say, well,

722
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: I spent a week with the Green Bay Packers documenting

723
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 4: a week in the Life of a football team in

724
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five, and Andy Reid was a tight ends coach,

725
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: and we talked. I didn't know who he was. I mean,

726
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 4: I knew who he was, but I didn't had never

727
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: met him and he started talking about Wow, I always

728
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: kind of wanted to do that job, wanted to be

729
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: doctor Z. When I went to Brigham Young, I wrote

730
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 4: a column for the School of Paper, and that's what

731
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 4: he really wanted to do. So in other words, over

732
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: the years, Andy Reid would make time for me because

733
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: he loved talking to SI. And even after that ended,

734
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 4: he would he'd make time. And so that's really Paul.

735
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 4: I am the beneficiary of an awful lot of good fortune.

736
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: Plus I was just one of those guys who not

737
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 4: that I wouldn't take no for an answer. I've taken

738
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 4: no for an answer a lot of times, but I've always.

739
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: Asked the question, k N d N How good was that?

740
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: An e xt loved it. He's football immortality. Nick Folino

751
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: We mentioned it earlier in the show.

752
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: It's a NHL trade deadline today I think until two

753
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: pm Central Time. And the Wild last night they added

754
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: a right shot depth defenceman by the name of Jeff Peatrees,

755
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, long career, most recently with the

756
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Florida Panthers. So that was last night, and then this

757
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: morning Bobby Brink Minnetonka's and somebody on the text line

758
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: said he may have grown up in Bimidgie as well.

759
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: I know it's Minnesota though. For Bobby Brink won a

760
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: title with the Minnetonka Skippers. He's twenty four years old,

761
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: and he was most recently with the Philadelphia Flyers, as

762
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: he is now a member of the Minnesota Wild.

763
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 3: So you have Bobby Brink in the mix, and.

764
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: Now this one's fresh hot off the press looking for

765
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: more intel on. I don't know what the Wild gave

766
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: up to get him, but we have a family reunion

767
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: here in Minnesota, specifically Saint Paul as Nick Follino. Yeah,

768
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: whether it was long time with the Blue Jackets, I

769
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: think he was an Ottawa He's played nearly thirteen hundred

770
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: games in his career. The elder Fellino, of course, Marcus's

771
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: older brother, Nick Fillino, coming from the Blackhawks to Saint Paul.

772
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: That courtesy of Russo Radio. That's just within the last

773
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: two or three minutes. So Minnesota Wild fans again, leading

774
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: up to the trade deadline at two pm, you're just

775
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: doom scrolling and just mashing on that refreshed button on

00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: your timeline. Gimme SDAMNCS, gimme Trocheck, gimme x y Z player. Well,

777
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,439

00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: now a member of the Minnesota Wild.

779
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: It seems fair to say those in the Trocheck covenant

780
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 2: hoping valsant Trocheck, who was a healthy scratch roster management

781
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 2: scratch by the as last night, will come here.

782
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 3: I just really don't see any way that'll happen.

783
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: Now with all these deals now at Russo Hockey via

784
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: x Elite follow all the time, but specifically today, as

785
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: n Ordo just said, he tweeted an hour ago, Wild

786
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 2: acquire winger Bobby Brink send prospect David Yuricek to the Flyers. Yeah,

787
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: but right above that, Eric Johnson, Saint Louis Park native.

788
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 2: I believe I spent nearly twenty years in the NHL.

789
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 2: He's an analyst for I think ESPN now.

790
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 3: But missus former Colorado Avalanche Arick Johnson.

791
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah for sure. Eric Johnson tweeted, great move by

792
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: the wild. I played with Bobby Brink and he's underrated.

793
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: Defensive game has improved a ton can trust him on

794
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: both ends of the rink. Great kid. Then Russo comes back.

795
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: I know a lot was made when John Tortorella scratched

796
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: Bobby Brink in Minnesota a few years ago where he's from.

797
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 2: But from what I gathered, Torts loved Brink and felt

798
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: he became a true pro and that Garren Slash Kelleher

799
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: talked to Tortorella a lot about Brink at the Olympics.

800
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: Not like I know, Tortorella, doesn't that sound like a

801
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 3: Torts move?

802
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Brink excited to play at what was the Excel

803
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Energy Center at hometown him State, and Torts is like,

804
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: you're in the press box tonight.

805
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:30,959
Speaker 3: Brother.

806
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: Well, it reminds me of when Kurt Rambus coached the

807
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves and their first round pick was Kevin Love

808
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: and everybody was at the season opener to see Kevin

809
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: Love against the Sacramento Kings, and for whatever the reason,

810
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: Rambus didn't start him like why, I mean, holy cow,

811
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: Russo at Russo Hockey also tweets Brink is hustling to

812
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: Las Vegas and the anticipation is he'll make his Minnesota

813
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: Wild debut tonight against the Golden Knights. That one's on

814
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: KFA N with O'Donnell, Budsy and di Alec Staylock. Then

815
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 2: there's this Perusso to repost a tweet from somebody named

816
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: Dom with about one hundred thousand followers. I think he

817
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: covers hockey on a national level for the athletic. For

818
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: him to repost this indicates that he's a deep believer.

819
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 2: And the repost from this Dom with the Athletic love

820
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: this trade for Minnesota. Bobby Brink is a sneaky good

821
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: ad that fits their ever present defensive identity. Not a

822
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: eur a check believer, writes Dom. Yeah, and then he

823
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: has some ear at check. Bobby Brink comps. But this

824
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: elite hockey mind writing sneaky good ad that fits their

825
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: ever present defensive identity plays into what you discussed two

826
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 2: days ago. And I brought up in the opening segment

827
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: yesterday with the Lapanta Chat, where I really really enjoyed

828
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: Anthony dissecting the victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, which

829
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: by the way, lost again last night and the team's

830
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: completely reeling, and he talked about the defensive identity of

831
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: this team and winning in the postseason. Now you get

832
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: a lead hockey mind, saying Brink, Bobby Brink, I got

833
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: all his albums, good ad fitting the defensive identity. I mean,

834
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: Billy G's playing fast right now, man, holy cow.

835
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: Well, so we would call ourselves the Love Covenant, and

836
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: for years the program that follows us, the Grum, they

837
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: would call themselves the tough Love Covenant.

838
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 3: The reason I bring that up, we're the.

839
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: Friday Football Feast three to six thirty, the Football Beast exactly.

840
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: But Brandon Muleski, producer, Common Man program, you mentioned sneaky,

841
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: good ad and all of these things.

842
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: Let's get pumped up for Bobby Brink here. Tennebee is

843
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: an elite hockey mind.

844
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: But he did right, bought your a check for a first, second, third,

845
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: and fourth and sold him for a third line winger.

846
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 3: Okay, yuck, all right? That was from ten about an

847
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: hour ago. Okay, Well, I mean he and.

848
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: Others can choose to dwell, and if they want to,

849
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: that's great because clearly it did not work out for

850
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: the haul that was given. As we discussed a little

851
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: while ago, there are one of two ways to look

852
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 2: at it. You can either move for something that you

853
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 2: are absolutely dead set to make work. Okay, and this

854
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 2: doesn't look great and it seems to be getting worse,

855
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: but damn it, I can't be wrong and I can't

856
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 2: face this public shrudiny or scrutiny from mister Leopold, the owner.

857
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: So we're gonna make this work or you can recognize

858
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: I struck out. Yeah, and it's time to get out

859
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: and move on. So yeah, I mean that's with respect

860
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: this low hanging fruit right there. So the trade deadline

861
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 2: is it?

862
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: Two?

863
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: Also, Russo, you mentioned some of his posts on x

864
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: He noted that it was Future Considerations that the Wild

865
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: sent to Chicago, and he put in parentheses aka nothing.

866
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: Wow.

867
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: So this is actually I mean, you effectively got Nick

868
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: Felino for free. So we still have just over three hours,

869
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: three hours and thirty seconds for Bill Garran to continue

870
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: making moves if he is so apt to do so,

871
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: and then the trade deadline will be complete and the

872
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: wild roster, for the most.

873
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 3: Part, we went complete.

874
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 2: When I say, or I've said before, Michael Russo is

875
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: the pre eminent beat writer for any sport. And really

876
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 2: he is the most detailed, bulldog ish, hard working beat

877
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: writer that I've ever come across in my life. And

878
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: that goes all the way back to when I wrote

879
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 2: for the Pasadena Star News eighty nine to ninety three.

880
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: And this is another example why it's Russo tweeted forty

881
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: minutes ago. I mean, look at the depths of this now,

882
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: John Rablushki, It's Robleski was the coach of the Olympic team.

883
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah the ladies, right, yes, okay, yeah, that's right. Okay,

884
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: So Russo tweets. Not that they'll necessarily play together, but

885
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: John Rabluski told me Bobby Brink and Matt Boldy had

886
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: quote unreal chemistry and to quote at the twenty nineteen

887
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: under eighteen's and he'll quote thrive under Heinze end to quote,

888
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's twenty nineteen to twenty twenty six, so okay,

889
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 2: but I mean still to have that in your back

890
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: pocket to drop on a day like this, I'm giving

891
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: you Covenant class Man because that's his next level right there.

892
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: He just never stops, and so I mean, you might

893
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: as well just do it then, shouldn't you. Pa, You

894
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: got capris Off, Hartman and Zookie are your top line,

895
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: second line, Eric Sinek, Matt Boldie and Minnetaka's finest break.

896
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 3: On the two line.

897
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: Then you get the krem line back together with year Off,

898
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: Trennon and Tarasenko.

899
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: Do you think Bartley thought we meant eleven Am Pacific.

900
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: I think he's an actor, so he might still be

901
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 2: on Los Angeles time.

902
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 3: So I did text.

903
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,880
