What a great interview with Salisbury. Loved 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 3: hearing him talk about in Analyzed Football. I think Fox 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: has an opening replacing Mark Sanchez. Laugh emoji Wentz starts, 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: writes Rube Paul until he stinks, which I doubt not 16 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 3: if the whisperer has anything to do with it. He'll 17 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: be starting for another team next year, and hopefully Quasy 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 3: can turn the South Dakota native into some extra draft capital, 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: just like Cousins Darnold John Dakota JJ it good point, 20 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: JJ is the future. What's the big hurry? My text 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: from the other day. I call him Shawnee because we 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: got a good five. There's so many more. Hang with me, Sean, 23 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: Salisbury is all class twins need to fire their brass. 24 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 3: JJ is fragile glass. Bring you ass wolves and five 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: really enjoy your guests, Sean, Please keep bringing him on 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: solid entertaining delivery and delivery deliverer of good takes. Please 27 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: substantiate how Wentz is the clear best choice to win now? 28 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: The headgear analogy was great. Do Shaan hit the bottle 29 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: after he got canned from the radio station. That just 30 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: might be from a. 31 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: At jj OBO. 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: Highly arguable, But you're talking like it's a foregone conclusion. 33 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 3: Explain why Wentz is the obvious best choice chance to win. 34 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 3: I still think the solution at quarterback is Woodstock two 35 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: point zero Salisbury knows ball. Agree with one hundred percent 36 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: with Sean. If Carson keeps playing well, what's the problem. 37 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: You can't assume Wentz is a better option based off 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: recency buyas in him having a healthier O line around 39 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: him and Addison back apples to oranges. The slower the cook, 40 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: the better the meat. De Shawn know that a week 41 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: ago Sunday, the Vikings lost and went through two and 42 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 3: Wentz through two and almost three interceptions. Wentz is playing 43 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: better because he's the only one playing. Max doesn't want 44 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: to hear any of this reasoncy bias over or only 45 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: I should say Sean, you can't possibly say Wentz is 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: a better option to elevate the team. Did you watch 47 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: the tape? He was basically a one read and dump 48 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: it off QB. He was not at all running Chao's 49 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: typical offense. Some that might have to do is because 50 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: no one if they tried to run Chao's typical offense, 51 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: there would have been twenty two sacks. JJ has much 52 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: higher upside Mike and New Richmond. Why in the world 53 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: do you guys even spending time speculating and projecting about 54 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: a non existent quarterback controversy? No more one year Reynolds 55 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: not a recipe for long term success. What about losing 56 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: another year on the rookie deal for JJ McCarthy. I've 57 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: read just about half of the texas have come in 58 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: since Salisbury appeared, and they are all related to what 59 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: the quarterback quarterback situation, which some of our texts are saying, Well, 60 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: there's no situation. As Glenn Mason would say, you're wrong, 61 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 3: You just are best laid plans become irrelevant sometimes that 62 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: and often it doesn't really have any It doesn't even 63 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: make any statement on the fitness of the player who 64 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: is sitting right. 65 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: It's amazing to me that people who watch football as 66 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: often as I'm assuming these many of these folks do 67 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 4: don't understand the rules that apply almost every time in 68 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: a situation like this. Now, if the guy hurt is 69 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: a legend, then. 70 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: Generally it's pretty easy to say as soon as the 71 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: legend's healthy, he's going to play again. 72 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,239 Speaker 2: AJ McCarthy might end up being a legend. He's not now. 73 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: At college he was, he's not as a pro. 74 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: So in real time, even coaches committed to what McCarthy 75 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: inferior represents has to deal with the week to week 76 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 3: reality in front of them. I don't know why this 77 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: is so difficult for people, you know what I'm saying, 78 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: It's just very But again, the reminder is. 79 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 2: Quarterback. 80 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, the position that we could literally talk about this 81 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: all day, every day right up to the Eagles game 82 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: and have no difficulty at least getting reaction or getting 83 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: texts or getting people to bounce off of regarding you know, 84 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: what they thought on this thing. 85 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: It's in all of sports. 86 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 3: I don't even think it's just football debate over the quarterback, 87 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: who should play, who makes more sense, who has more upside, 88 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: namely another position. 89 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: There is a one. 90 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: There just isn't a one. And now it helps this. 91 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: This is the most popular sport, but I think this 92 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: is part of the reason it is the best. That's 93 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 3: part of the sport and that's why. 94 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: It's what Seffert was talking about yesterday in the studio 95 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: when he said some of the tension right now that 96 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: he thinks Koc is feeling, or the whole operation is 97 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: feeling about the intensity of the quarterback discussion. Says, Look, 98 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: this is what our readers want to read about. This 99 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: is the biggest story. It's the biggest team, and it's 100 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: a it's a quarterback deal. And we've had this JJ 101 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: thing for a while and it was always going to 102 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: be the story. It was the story in training camp, 103 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: and now that it's a story in a different way, 104 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: it's maybe even an even bigger story. So we're going 105 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: to write about it. Then the team doesn't really love it, 106 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: but they have to know. That's Netflix did a series 107 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: on it called Quarterback because people were excited. They also 108 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: did one about receiver. That wasn't as exciting you know 109 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: what had justin Jefferson. Yeah, and they've done one on 110 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: the NBA. 111 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: They did. It wasn't enough of. 112 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: A diva, quite, frank been more of a diva. It 113 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: probably would have sold better. 114 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: They did one with Lebron and Anthony Edwards and Jason 115 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: Tatum and all these guys. The thing that got the 116 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: most run was the first run of quarterback with Mahomes 117 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: and Cousins and Mariota and everybody else that was a 118 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: part of it. 119 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: It's just part of the deal. 120 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: JJ Stalls, Wentz Balls, Bros, mur Falls, Wolves and five. 121 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: Why does Max have to catch his stray when he 122 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: got dumped by I think he just needed another stanza 123 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: I got when he got dumped by the Browns. I 124 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: argued that the Vikings should have gone after him, and 125 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: they could have. He's talking about Mayfield. Mayfield, and you 126 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: can check the tape on this. There was absolutely a day. 127 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: This was in the Cousins era when we were getting 128 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: tired of him, and there were even rumors about because 129 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: of their head coach Stefanski, that might be a landing 130 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: place for him. 131 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what year this would have been. 132 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: And I said on the record one hundred thousand watt radio, 133 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: I am all in on trade just to get out 134 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: from his contract. 135 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: Trade. 136 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: If you could trade Cousins to Cleveland, I will take 137 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield. Not assuming that he's going to be my guy, 138 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: but I say, in the short run, just to be 139 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: out of the contract, I'd bring him in. 140 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: And then you got nothing to lose you work with him. Yeah, 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: we did talk about it. 142 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: If he like, if he catches lightning in a bottle, 143 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: as he has since, then you don't even have to 144 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: worry about looking at any other place for quarterback. If not, 145 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: you say, Banks, we had nice memories, but you go 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: your way, we go ours. 147 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: We absolutely talked about that at the time. I feel 148 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: like he would have been a good quarterback for Zimmer too. 149 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Seems like a Simmer kind of guy. 150 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, he's probably right. Maybe maybe I'm wrong. 151 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: Maybe there is no quarterback for a perfect quarterback, but 152 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: more closer to perfect. 153 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, for Mike Sick. I work with someone at the 154 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: you that worked with Baker Mayfield a little. Yeah, says 155 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: he's just a peach of a guy. Really like, couldn't 156 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: rave about an individual anymore, and he does stuff. 157 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: You know, the players love him in Tampa. We do, 158 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: they do. I mean he's bringing his line that they do. 159 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, Fleming's Mason in my spot down there in 160 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: Tampa with our buddy. 161 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: Dave, like he's just a dude. 162 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: He's just a good dude, a good team guy, and 163 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: everybody that's around him loves him. 164 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: So it makes sense that he's having success again. 165 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: Bonus Bucks, the Fan and two men and a junk 166 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: truck want to give you a shot to win Bonus Bucks. 167 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: It is our national cash Contest four o'clock.

I'm not investing in 173 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: Wentz what a ago, I'm not. 174 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: I'm really not. 175 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: Like I said the day they was announced that they'd 176 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: signed him, I. 177 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: Was bored with it. But you have to be foolish 178 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: to not. 179 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 3: I mean, think of all the things that have happened 180 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: since that day already to this team. That's the stuff 181 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: that gets in the way, that intrudes, it makes it messy. 182 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: And what the best teams do is they react, they adjust, 183 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: they consider a lot of different alternatives. 184 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: And again. 185 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 3: There are people out there who cover this team who 186 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: believe that if McCarthy's healthy, he's gonna start against Philly. 187 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: Seyffert didn't think Wentz has played well enough that it's 188 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: a clear cut decision to keep playing him. I think 189 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: there's enough on the table that I would I would, 190 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: I would start him at least against the Eagles. He 191 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 3: could stink against them. Then it probably is again it 192 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: becomes the leash. My leash on Wentz isn't really long. 193 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: It's just not I don't It's not like I'm gonna go, well, 194 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: give him a mulligan. But again, I have concern about 195 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: how ready the guy, the shiny new toy that I 196 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: get it, you want, you're excited about because it's been 197 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 3: built up and he's gonna be our shiny toy for 198 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: a while, and he's gonna stay our toy even if 199 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 3: he even when he's not so shiny, So we don't 200 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: have to keep making all these changes. I still worry 201 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: about his readiness right now. That doesn't mean I'm suggesting 202 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 3: Wentz is a great choice, saying you're you're dealing with 203 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: what your all your alternatives are, right, So I don't know. 204 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: If you're a betting man, who do you think starts 205 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: against the Eagles? 206 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: Wentz not by much though. 207 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 4: No. 208 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: I think he's good. I think dead. As I said to. 209 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 3: Sean, if he plays really well against the Eagles, that's 210 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: when it really gets interesting. 211 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: That's where it's exactly right, because it's kind of an 212 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: easy one to go. We're gonna let JJ get his 213 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: feet back under him. Even Koc either earlier this week 214 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: or maybe he was on the Schreger podcast, said something 215 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: along the lines of he's never really talking about JJ. 216 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: He hasn't really had a regular week of preparation, given 217 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: that he had a baby after Week one and then 218 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: he was hurt, and so they definitely want to give 219 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: him the longest runway before he plays again. And I 220 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: think Wentz has played well enough where it's not a 221 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: slam dunk to go back to j J under adverse. 222 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 3: Conditions, having just gotten to the team about a day 223 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 3: before the season began. 224 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: But it does get interesting if he plays, and again 225 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: we've It's just crazy how often we've had this conversation 226 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: just in the last ten years, about do you go 227 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: back to Bradford, what do you do with Teddy? What 228 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: do you do now with you? Even going back to 229 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: last year, what do you do with Darnold? It's very numbing, 230 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: all right, that's not the right word. It's draining. 231 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, the process that we've had to tend to go 232 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: through here at the quarterback. 233 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: What do we do with Q? 234 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: We signed Keenum, what do we do with Kirk? All 235 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: these questions it's a lot of fun. I think, like 236 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: you say it, it's great discussion because everybody's got an 237 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: opinion on it and they can be as adamant about 238 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: that as anything in their life and can't believe anybody 239 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: else would look at it in any different way. But 240 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: I think Onz probably starts against Philly. The Yankees eliminated 241 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: last night in New York. They lose their series. 242 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: Was it who? 243 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: They lose to Toronto Toronto three games to one? Yep, 244 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: the Louis Varland led Toronto JA. 245 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: That's right. 246 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: He rebounded nicely. And this is how sick I am. 247 00:13:54,080 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 3: I then got out my computer and I say, let's 248 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: do the Let's do the Yankees in the postseason against 249 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: the Twins. Yankees in the postseason against everybody else. I 250 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: happen to see this going back to when the two 251 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: teams first met in the postseason, which I think was 252 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: two thousand and three, and I knew it was going 253 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 3: to be a stark contrast. And by the way, the 254 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: Yankees have still had I mean, weren't they in the 255 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: World Series a year ago. I mean, they still have 256 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: had some successful seasons. But the numbers are pretty astonishing, 257 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: or maybe not so much if you remember the way 258 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: the Twins were dominated by the Yankees. But since two 259 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: thousand and three postseason, the Yankees have a four to 260 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: forty winning percentage against everybody but the Twins and an 261 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: eight eighty nine winning percentage against the Twins. We know 262 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 3: it's not good Baseball sixteen and two Yankees against US 263 00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: fifty six and seventy one. I guess everybody else think 264 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: about it. I mean, you could make the argument that 265 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: if not for the Twins much of that through much 266 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: of the last twenty years. 267 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: The Yankees would not be viewed as the Yankees. It's true, that's. 268 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 3: How much we've helped them catapult them Now again a 269 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: year ago, they didn't need us. They haven't always needed 270 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 3: us to advance, but we have jump started them on 271 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: a number of occasions. Or maybe the other way to 272 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: look at it is because we've had fun with this 273 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: game too, Because what invariably happened when the Twins lost 274 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: the Yankees, the ball guys. 275 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Would say, lost to a better team, what do you expect? 276 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: We expect the Yankees. 277 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: They got a four hundred million dollars payroll, our payrolls 278 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: for forty two thousand dollars. 279 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: Then they'd losing five in the next year exactly, and 280 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: we know how unbeatable were they. 281 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: That was one of the bits I do miss doing yes, 282 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: because the Twins just haven't been in the playoffs enough. 283 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: When we first started doing it, there was a little 284 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: bit of a decent run there, and we could preview 285 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: the World Series and just say the Yankees are taking 286 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: on the Mets, even though they had lost two rounds prior, 287 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: and then people would text in and say, what do 288 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: you mean the Yankees in the World Series. 289 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: Well, we just assumed it. 290 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: We just assumed that there's no way that the Texas 291 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Rangers could have beaten them. There's no way that they 292 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: could have lost to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. 293 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: There's no way they lost to the White Side. This 294 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: is it's impossible, no way. I do miss doing that bit, 295 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: but the Twins haven't been in the postseason enough for 296 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: us to do that. 297 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: Well, what do you think of this idea? This is 298 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: from Matt Inidna koc needs to hockey goalie. 299 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: The situation, Oh jeez, hold. 300 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: Start Wentz three more games, start JJ nine games. Wentz 301 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: starts Philly at Lions at Packers. JJ gets the rest 302 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: and gets a couple of weeks to game plan between starts. There, 303 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: you go, probably unlikely that it'll go that way. 304 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I would, I don't know if you want to. So 305 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: then is Brozmer the ebug the emergency goalie? 306 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: I think pretty much. Yeah, that's what you gotta go with, 307 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: which I know does not sit well with you. 308 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, imagine if Wentz is hurt and then 309 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: JJ's still not ready, or he doesn't play well and 310 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: Brozmer has to go in there for or Jja gets 311 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: hurt again because by the way, he's played two games 312 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: and gotten hurt in both of them. Basically right in 313 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: his career. And that's I don't mean he's the next 314 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: Joe Mauer by part of the story. But he hasn't 315 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: been able to play consecutive games. 316 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: Really no, And that's another part of that. 317 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: The jj obos do not want to the macobos do 318 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 3: not want to accept. 319 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 2: Is it's not even a matter of saying that means 320 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: he's soft. 321 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 3: No, But part of the possibility for these sorts of 322 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 3: controversies or questions to arise is. 323 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: He's not out there. 324 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: He hasn't been out there at all. And if he hasn't, 325 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 3: there's a vacuum. Somebody has to play and other decisions 326 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 3: have to be made because they still play the games. 327 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 3: We played the games a year ago, right, we did, 328 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 3: and we and one fourteen of them played the games. 329 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: We're playing the game so far this year. 330 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: They're not going to. 331 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: Shut things down, and so things like that fill the 332 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 3: gaps when somebody that you believe in and are excited 333 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: about has not had a chance to play all.

Very 347 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: relevant given who the Wolves play? I think twice very 348 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: early in the season. Yeah, one of them's relevant. One 349 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: of them I think is funny. I'll get to both 350 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: of them. Lebron, who maybe hurt himself in that commercial 351 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: for the drink or whatever, restrained something U sciatic during 352 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: that what is it, Hennessy? I think so, Yeah, but sciatica, 353 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: according to Shams. 354 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: On his right side, that can be very painful. I 355 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: guess so. 356 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: So he is going to miss about a month is 357 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: what they think, three to four weeks due to sciatica 358 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 1: on his right side. Luckily for the Lakers, they were 359 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: gifted Luca last year and he's like one hundred and 360 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: twelve pounds now and motivated, so they probably won't miss 361 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Lebron too. 362 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: Much, and they'll still miss him, I think. 363 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: And then this one he and as I said, I 364 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: think the Wolves have two early season games against him 365 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: against the Lakers, including I think this the third game 366 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: at home. Yeah, the Tasers nu very early. 367 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: We have Wednesday, we played them on the twenty fourth, 368 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: and the twenty ninth. We open out there, I think 369 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: against them on the twenty fourth. So there's that, and 370 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: then this one just cracks me up. And I've been 371 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: texting all the beat writers. Oh, good for me. The 372 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: Joe Ingles injury updated. 373 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 3: You see. 374 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, he played a lot the other night. And 375 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: by the way, it looks like he's on the Luca diet. 376 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: He's lost a bunch of weight, and I had noticed that. Yes, 377 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: he looked really good, played a lot the other night, 378 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: But he has a left groin strain, Joe Ingles, and 379 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: he'll be re evaluated in a week.

That's it's hilarious. And 387 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: we all love Joe Ingles. There's no question he's a 388 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: great in boundary. He's funny, he's good for the group, ambassador, 389 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the little bet. He calms down Randall, he calms down 390 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: Anton Rudy. 391 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 3: If he's a regular in the rotation, then that means 392 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 3: a lot of other things have have have gone pear shaped. 393 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. It's like, do they even reevaluate him 394 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 2: in a week? Well maybe not, that's very possible. Joe, 395 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: how you feeling?

And this is 418 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 3: for the hockey community. I'm sure many members of said 419 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: community are already mulling this over. Let's say that the 420 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: Wild struggle again this year. Who are we going to 421 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 3: take the average hockey fan.

Let's let's remember the sequence. 430 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 3: The Wild offer him sixteen million a year, which, even 431 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 3: if he had taken that deal, would have been more 432 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 3: than any deal that's been signed since and not even close. 433 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 2: They rejected. 434 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: Garn throws some things around mf's several unnamed individuals, but 435 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 3: then ultimately says, okay, fine, seventeen MILLI year, at which 436 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: point Carrill's agent says, nice offer, but we're countering it 437 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 3: with and we don't even know exactly what the counter is. 438 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: Is it eighteen, is it nineteen? 439 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: Is it toddle? Even if what the maximum might. 440 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: Have been, At which point Garn confirmed this with us. 441 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: They said, that's all we can do is seventeen mili 442 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: and they came back to it, that's not even close 443 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 3: to a hometown discount. So the question is, are you 444 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: going to be mad at the wild for squandering or 445 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: is there going to be more of these other guys 446 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 3: seem to want to help their their team out a 447 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: little bit. Carill, how about giving us a little bit 448 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 3: of help. What did you do for us? You were 449 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't like you were poor. You were 450 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 3: gonna be fine at yep, fourteen fifteen million, but you 451 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: had to have not sixteen but seventeen, and then you. 452 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: Had to ask for more as well. 453 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 3: I think that's a sneaky angle to not lose sight 454 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 3: of you're right as we go through this season, especially 455 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: if he gets hurt again. 456 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: That's a big part. You're right, which he's bus a lot. 457 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 3: We'll be mad at him, even though if it's a 458 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 3: legitimate injury, just because while there. 459 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 2: He goes again he's hurt. 460 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: I do remember vividly that that line of thinking is 461 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why we lost the Peizy Pontiac deal, 462 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 1: because you mentioned, Zach that once you signed the big contract, 463 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: like there is a unique pressure we saw with Joe Mauer. Yes, 464 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: apparently that hadn't That hadn't occurred to zee Perizi back then, 465 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: because he seemed very put off by the implication. Right, 466 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: he hadn't thought about well, I guess wait, people are 467 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: going to be upset at me if we don't win 468 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: because we've signed these ninety eight million dollar contracts. I 469 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: vividly remember that being one of the One of the 470 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: things is you signed the big deal to who much 471 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: is given. 472 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: He's on the clock, But then you're on the clock 473 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 3: even more than you were before. 474 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: And we'll talk about that with the Russho We're gonna 475 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: kind of stay in this ballpark. 476 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 3: Here, among other things by the way, there's a lot 477 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 3: of injury stuff two or three. 478 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: So I was like, when people make it topical for 479 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: today's show with a good theme.

The Louisiana purchase equates 483 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: to roughly three hundred and seventy million dollars in today's money. Sure, 484 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: it doubled the US and size and led to the 485 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: Lewis and Clark expedition, But you know what, I'm a 486 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,479 Speaker 1: pioneer setting the trend and we're going to take this 487 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: wild club to unchartered territory out of the first round 488 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: of the playoffs and into the Stanley Cup finals. Be Garren, Well, 489 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: we should fill people in on our three o'clock discussion 490 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: on the Louisiana purchase. 491 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 492 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: I don't even know how it came up, but we 493 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 3: got there and then I thought it was five million year. 494 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: You corrected me that it was fifteen million. I mean 495 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: a year. 496 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: I looked fifteen million. I didn't just go, oh, Dan, 497 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: it was fifteen I knew it was a bargain. 498 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: I think five million would have been an absolute steal, 499 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 3: but fifteen was still a pretty damn good deal. And 500 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 3: that's the callback right to that part of your program. Well, 501 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: somebody did bring this up. Do we take any of 502 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 3: our wrath out on JJ as in justin Jefferson. 503 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: He signed a big deal. 504 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah he did, But no, I don't think this feels 505 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: the same because it's more and he's about to be 506 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 3: He's already been overtaken. I think, if not, he's about 507 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: to be, right, that's that's that's correct in the wide 508 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: receiver market. And I still and I don't know, I 509 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 3: don't think the cap situations are very analogous either. I 510 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: guess you could always say, well, if he'd cut way back, 511 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: we could have made even more deals. 512 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: But I don't. 513 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: I don't think there's a sense that the vikings have 514 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 3: been necessarily strapped by any of these deals. But and look, 515 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: we're well aware the new contract doesn't start till next year, 516 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: but presumably this stuff's going to play out over time, Right, 517 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: We're not just talking about. 518 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: The next three weeks. 519 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 3: But it has been announced now, and so it becomes 520 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: a feel that people have people can't not know it 521 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 3: even if the contract does not take effect until next season. 522 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: It's time for a doctor. 523 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 5: Box. 524 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: You're Doctor Dan. 525 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: Every morning I hobble into the training room like I'm 526 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: re enacting the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. The 527 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: trainers keep telling me it's a high ankle sprain, but honestly, Doc, 528 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: it feels like a career setback. I'm doing everything they 529 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: tell me ice compression, elevation, visualization and meditation, hydration. I 530 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: even tried manifestation. Didn't work. Carson Wentz is still playing. 531 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: They say, don't rush back, but it's hard not to 532 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: rush when you see Captain comeback out there, doing your handoffs, 533 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: your screens and celebrating like he just part of the 534 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: Red Sea. I saw him chest bump Koc the other day. 535 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: I swear my ankle flared up out of jealousy. It's weird, Doc. 536 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: A few months ago, I was the shiny new hope. Yeah, 537 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: the future of the franchise, the next big thing. Now 538 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm the kid in the walking boot. Even the cafeteria 539 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: worker asked if I wanted the injured player discount. I'll 540 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: be fine, though, just a couple more weeks of rehab, 541 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: a few more pool workouts, I'll be ready to go. 542 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: Then maybe people will remember that I too can hand 543 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: off successfully and throw for one hundred and sixty two 544 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: yards without an interception. 545 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: So tell me, Doc Kenny. I don't know if he can, 546 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 2: but go ahead. 547 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: When I'm back, Do I just limp over and whisper 548 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: my turn again? Or do I need to start showing 549 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: up to practice wearing a knee brace and calling myself 550 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: Carson two point? Oh? Jay McCarthy, Well, here's really well written, 551 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: by the way, very well. Ruke Boyd outstanding writer, good good? 552 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: Is he a regular? 553 00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 5: He? 554 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: Maybe I think he is, But that might be really good? 555 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 3: Might be one of his pen names. Some people have 556 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 3: burner accounts, even for the even for the J. 557 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: McCarthy, one of the. 558 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: More desperate please that I've want a read today via 559 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: the text line the old Court, the old NF the 560 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: old football rule. 561 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: Pertaining allegedly to quarterbacks, if you're the starter, you never 562 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: lose your job to injury. I can't even I don't 563 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 3: even know what to say to that individual. 564 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: Has that ever been proven true? 565 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: No? 566 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's malleable, it's movable. 567 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: Yea. 568 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 3: It sometimes applies, and then sometimes it means nothing. But 569 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: in all seriousness, even if you're am Gobo and you 570 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: think he's he's gonna end up being first ballot Hall 571 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: of Fame. Do you say that with a straight face 572 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 3: about a guy who was handed the job. I mean, yeah, 573 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: you're right, shouldn't lose a job he was he won 574 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 3: the starting job. 575 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: He didn't really win anything. 576 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 3: I mean, who did he have to beat out in 577 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: the preseason training camp? 578 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: Sam Howell, a. 579 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,239 Speaker 3: Guy they despised so much that they traded him. They 580 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: were so horrified about the possibility of him being the 581 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: backup quarterback that they went out and got another one 582 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: named See Wentz. So I'd be careful going too farway 583 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 3: up your starter. You don't lose your job when you're 584 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 3: a starter, like he's some grizzled, established veteran quarterback who's 585 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 3: got years of equity that any coach is going to 586 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: fall back on and say, you're the man. 587 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: Don't worry about You're not losing anything. 588 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: A couple of famous ones Drew Bledsoe lost his job 589 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: due to injury. 590 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: Great point. 591 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: And then the one I always think about this underrated 592 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: is Tony Romo, who's great in the h Remember he 593 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: was hurt and Dak Prescott came in and played really well. 594 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: They had to have a press conference where Romo basically 595 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: gave him the job, annointed him and basically said, look, 596 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: I'd love to have my job back, but the kid 597 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: has played great. And I learned this from so and 598 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: so and so and so. I remember it being a 599 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: very cool moment. But he's like, yeah, the guy's playing. Well, 600 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: I can't just come in and say it's my job. 601 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I was the starter and he's the guy most affected. 602 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: This isn't a fan, this is him. It was his life. Yeah, 603 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: he's been working with Nance ever since. Interesting, Well, you 604 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: get the next one going. I'm gonna change this chair. 605 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: I try to go to the chair that doesn't like 606 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: like sink, immediately think yeah, but I don't like what 607 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: it's doing in my back. So I'm gonna change the 608 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: chair while you prepare for another one. All right, I've 609 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: got a good one here, dear doctor Dan figure i'd 610 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: write in and check in since I do have a 611 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: lot of free time. It's an epidemic. It happens to 612 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: happen every few years. I don't get it. That's a 613 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: lot better on my back. I guess the Eastern Conference 614 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: Finals wasn't good enough in New York because the players 615 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: also expect water and practice at games and not on 616 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: my watch. So I've been using my time wisely get 617 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: in on former players like d de Vincenzo and Jay 618 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: Randall at my old stomping grounds with the Wolves and 619 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: giving words of wisdoms to see Finch on building a 620 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: culture of positivity, and made it known that these guys 621 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: need more minutes. I also had the pleasure to talk 622 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: with b Garin and Jay Hines at the wild training camp, 623 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: and Carill isn't playing enough there either. 624 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: He's paid now play. 625 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: Now off to visit Jay Buckets and the Golden State Warriors. 626 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: Sincerely, yours, T. 627 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: Thibodeau set I hung with the team in San Diego, Heygo. 628 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 2: We talked about it. 629 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: That may been the day you were out. I forgot 630 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 3: they were out there. I knew he was at practice, 631 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: and then I had to be reminded that they're playing 632 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: that when they're playing. It came out there because he 633 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: was visiting. I think he'd just been to the Clippers 634 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: practice as well. Probably I should try. I let me 635 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 3: see if I still got tips as a number. I 636 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 3: think you do that's what I should do, because he's 637 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 3: if you're ever going to get him, that's when you 638 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 3: get him, right when he's out of the game. Yes, 639 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 3: and maybe a little bit more bored, doesn't feel like 640 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 3: he's got a guard and thin. Yeah, I still got 641 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: TIB's number. Oh, yeah, I might try that. Yeah, and 642 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: maybe we can get him on at some point. Although 643 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 3: the last text I sent Tibbs March sixth, twenty twenty three, 644 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: it's not that long ago. Morrero checking in from the 645 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 3: Minnesota tunder I'm thoroughly enjoying the growth of your team, TIBs. 646 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: Nice work, especially last night. No reply, but again, he was. 647 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: Coaching then, he was trying to get a number top 648 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: four seed for the Knicks. 649 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: He doesn't have time. He had time for mine. Now 650 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: it's for my sucking up. We had him on when 651 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 3: he was the Knicks coach, though, I'm pretty sure.

It seems like 694 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: only yesterday, but to last it has been twenty years 695 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: since the infamous boat cruise that shook the NFL. Frankly, 696 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: I thought I had been pretty famous before that, with 697 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: the Purple Rain movie and all, but the publicity from 698 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: that boat trip put me on the global nautical map. 699 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: So imagine my excitement when I heard there was another 700 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: Vikings love boat cruise in the works. You think p 701 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: Diddy could throw a party shiver me timbers when the 702 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: Vikings set sail. But sadly, it seems one of the 703 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: current player's wives slid into the group chat to alert 704 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: the party planners of rough seas ahead should they try 705 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: another innocent little boat trip. Let me quote the title 706 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: of a somewhat notable beach boys song, sail On Sailor. 707 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: It's only Thursday, boys, there's still time and the weather's nice. 708 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: We'll keep it on the DL this time, I promised, sincerely, 709 00:35:58,920 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: l Minnetonka. 710 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: Oh Man. 711 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the big anniversary that was the day you were 712 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 3: out right wasn't Friday. 713 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: It was Friday. 714 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 3: We didn't we didn't spend as much time on it 715 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 3: as I originally thought we would. 716 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 2: Part of it is at some point it's like where 717 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 2: do you go next? You know?

Yeah, was my recollection that if 721 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 3: several of the players hadn't gotten off of the boat 722 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 3: and peeded on somebody's property, it never the story, the 723 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: scandal might never have have seen have seen the light 724 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: of day. 725 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 2: Correct, That was my information. 726 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: That's what caused the ruckus and got people's antenna up. 727 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: What happened on the boat. Nobody really knew him. I 728 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: could have stayed on the boat.

I have a video I'd like him 749 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: to look at from the twenty fifteen playoffs. More important, 750 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: what is the statute of limitations for appealing mis. 751 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 2: Goals the wash. 752 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 3: That's a good call back right there by the way, 753 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 3: speaking of well, we're up against the clock now, we 754 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 3: got Russo coming up, so maybe i'll save it.

His name was Mike Mercer. Oh, 759 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: I don't even remember this, do you? I remember him 760 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 3: Minnesota alerting us to it. Yeah, that was yesterday, that 761 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 3: was the anniversary of it. They cut him after five games. 762 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 3: You want to know what his percentage of successful field 763 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 3: goal kicks was at that. 764 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 2: Point, It was probably like ninety eight percent zero.

Yeah, 766 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 2: that's a would you see the game? 767 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 3: I mean, even Mike Zimmer ridiculing that I think would 768 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 3: be understood that. 769 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that would have made sense.
