Speaker 1: To You Too, Beautiful.

9
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: Dude all Right had coach with the soon to be

10
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: a Big Game World champion of Minnesota Vikings, met the

11
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: media today.

12
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: He was asked.

13
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: Several different questions regarding the quarterback decision with Carson Wentz

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: this past it's a Thursday night game, Yes, the Thursday

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: night game. Coach basically said player decisions, player and the

16
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: medical staffs that he could go that.

17
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: He was asked, well, did you.

18
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Not see him on the field, right, No, I never

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: saw him kind of talking to officials. I think just

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: by the way he answered, he knew if he could

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: do it all over again, he never would have played him.

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: He would have pulled him on. He wouldn't even have

23
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: started it much less less.

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's that might be a little bit of

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: a quantum leap. But you're right. You might be right.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: He may not have started him, but they were aware

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: of what his condition was since the London game that

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: he had that turned labroom.

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: I still anne and fractured.

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Right, I still just totally disagree with By the end

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: of the game, when the Chargers are up with three touchdowns, uh,

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: you know they're not going to keep hardball is not

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: going to do anything, and then keep trying to I'm

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: the saying, run up to score. The professionals they get

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: paid to win and they're going to do what they

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: have to do. But at the same time, I think

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it would have been very safe to put Max Brozemer

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: and they're and get him some reps and throw some

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: safe passes and not you know, do anything reckless. And

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: with a battered and bruised offensive line, he still could

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: have gotten some playing time and more importantly, just get

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz you know, off the ropes. And we talked

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: about it using the boxing analogy. We both watched a

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: lot of boxing matches where the cornerman throws the white

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: towel in. I mean it's like someone needed to throw

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: the towel in on Carson and for his own protection.

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I know this thing, it could have been worse. Well,

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I don't know how what

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: to believe. I just think that the didn't pass the

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: eye test and just out of out of sheer, you know, mercy,

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: take them out of the game and let Max get

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: a couple of stamps, hand the ball off, do whatever.

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: They're not going to come back. And again, kaos men,

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: it sound like, well, you know, our perception meeting the fans, media, whatever,

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: of being out of the game isn't the same our perception.

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: And my answer to that is and I didn't I

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: wasn't able to listen to the entire news conference. But

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, as you say, there was about thirteen fourteen

59
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: questions about Winston JJ McCarthy. I still have been. I

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I've been. I've had a bug up my

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: you know what about this defense. And again when the

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Vikings did score a touchdown against the Chargers, and it's

63
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: not the only game this has happened twenty four to ten.

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the defense to step up. And

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: they allowed the Chargers to go right down the field

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and give it. Give credit to LA, but the Vikings

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: have not been able to make a stop like that.

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what Hargrave and Allen have been doing.

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Dallas Turner has been doing that.

70
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: The inability to get turnovers, I mean they had it

71
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: looked like they had one at the beginning of the game.

72
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: And then of course there was rule that the ball

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: hit the ground on Rogers that I'm not saying the

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Vikings would have won the game, but that certainly does

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: change the momentum and the change the mindset as we've seen,

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: but that is those moments have been so few and

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: far between for the Vikings to put mean this, it's

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: going to be JJ McCarthy against a a better Lions

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: team on the favorite arguably to go to the Super

80
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Bowl this year. You know, you need to get some

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: breaks defensively. Your defense has to step up. It's not

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: just on go out score Jared Goffin and Gibbs and

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Mars Brown, Saint Brown and Montgomery and and that great

84
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: offensive line go get them. No stop, You've got to

85
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: make a stop. And that that goes back to the

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta game. That goes back. You know there's been so

87
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: many cases, uh, the Eagles, the Vikings are able to

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: stop the run against the Eagles with Saquon, But we

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: saw what happened bombs away, Jalen Hurts hit a couple

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: of deep throats. That's that's been my I don't know.

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: I still don't know what the answers are. I don't

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: know how disappointed they are in those guys, in particularly

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the money they invested in hard graven And and Allen

94
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: and and what Dallas Turner hasn't been doing. And it's

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: not just the fact that Van Ginkle has been out.

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Ben Giegle's a terrific player, He's an explosive player, but

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: he's not the reason the Vikings are getting marched up

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: and down the field on So yeah, I mean, the

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy story, it'll play itself out, however, it's going to

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: play itself out. But if he doesn't get some help,

101
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: this team doesn't give him some help on defense, it's

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: not gonna matter. It's just not He's not going to Also,

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: are you calling for Beflow's head. I don't think b

104
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Flow is gonna be back next year, you don't wait.

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 4: Hold on from.

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: No, it's not from Carring. But I'm just saying he's

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: not under contract for next year, and I I just

108
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: think that he It's not suggesting.

109
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: Are you hearing anything or are you just.

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: Hearing nothing. I just think it's going to be I

111
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean just a gut feeling more than anything.

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information about it. It's just

113
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: unusual that the defensive coordinator who gets all these plaudits

114
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: isn't under contract for next year. Now he may that

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: might be his decision because you know, he has a

116
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: pending lawsuit against the NFL about collusion with other teams,

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, not helping himself a lot this

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: year with the defensive performance of that team. But I

119
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: just think because of the fact he's I don't know

120
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: if he's the only coach on not under contract for

121
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: next year. It's not to suggest that they can't come

122
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: to terms. And they still absolutely can and maybe they will.

123
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: I just asked you ask me a question. I'm giving

124
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: my answer, my opinions.

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: It's it's always interesting to me how things can change

126
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 3: so quickly. Last year, yeah, Vikes were one victory away

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: from having the number one seed correct throughout the NFC playoffs,

128
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: laid an egg against Detroit Donald wasn't any good.

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: They had the fifth seed. They get beat by the Rams.

130
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: Nevertheless, the head coach received the recognition as the Coach

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: of the Year. They had Donald decided they didn't want

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: to go in that direction, decided they wanted to use

133
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: the homegrown kid. But they rebuilt the interior of the

134
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: offensive defensive line, so it seemed like brought a lot

135
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: of people back from a fourteen and three team. You

136
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: would hope that the that the changes the players they

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: added in free agency would help this club in that

138
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: this young kid would JJ McCarthy would have the kind

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: of success or at least close to, you know, being

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: that same ballpark is is it Jade Daniels or how

141
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: a Drake may is playing now and be able.

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: To catch it. And it's just funny.

143
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: How things can change so rapidly because he's had two

144
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: pretty mediocre performances. Other than the one quarter, offensive line

145
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: is in shambles, the schedule is getting tougher and tougher,

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: the defense, as you mentioned, is not playing like it

147
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: has before.

148
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: This has all change just in a short period of

149
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: hal and it happens in the NFL every single year.

150
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: And if you look at I don't know if you

151
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: saw Mark Craig's article today he wrote about the the Colts,

152
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: and I talked about it earlier, about the offensive line.

153
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: Because they because the the the offensive line when when

154
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: you know it's it's you may you may have heard

155
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: me say I say this often where there's a reason

156
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: cliches are cliches because generally they're true. And the one

157
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: is is that you win games with your offensive and

158
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: defensive lines. And the Colts lost to players to us,

159
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: yet they had no problems in there. You know, you

160
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: alluded to his piece and I don't have the numbers,

161
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: maybe you have the article right in front of you,

162
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: but just how many how many games the offensive line

163
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: has played together.

164
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

165
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: They haven't missed, you know, they've they've played two or

166
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: three of the guys have played every single snap so

167
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: far this season. You compare to that to what the

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: Vikings have then and other teams, I'm sure it's it's

169
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: it's night and day.

170
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Well in the center, which was a key position, you know,

171
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: for the Vikings to acquire Ryan Kelly, who did have

172
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: concussions with the Colts, and now of course looks like

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: he probably I don't know if he's out for the

174
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: year or not, but they they have their replacement guy,

175
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. His name is Tanner Bordolini. I think

176
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: he started all eight games, playing four hundred and eighty snaps,

177
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: which is ninety six percent of the snaps they have.

178
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: They went down the line from the left tackle basically

179
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: playing in all the snaps the guy there can'ton bound

180
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: left guard, playing ninety four percent of the snaps. Their

181
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: right guards played ninety nine percent of the STAPs the

182
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: right tackle. I mean, this is a consistent, terrific offensive

183
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: line that Daniel Jones is benefiting from, and Daniel Jones

184
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: is having a terrific season in traste with what the

185
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Vikings have now with the injuries they've had the fact

186
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: that Kelly has not been able to play stay on

187
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: the field, and it's sad and it's unfortunate that it

188
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: potentially could be career threatening because of concussion issues that

189
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: cropped up again. And I don't know. The Vikings obviously

190
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: had to do their due diligence medically before they before

191
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: they signed him. But here we are, here we are

192
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: if we yeah so, But that's that's excuse the defense,

193
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that I'm just still I just.

194
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: Well, they only gave up twenty one points against Eagles.

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: I know that, but it's been one thing after another

196
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: with this team. They Eagles didn't need to score it,

197
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, and the Vikings had chances the way as

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: we know, you're done with this club, Well I'm not.

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: They're not gonna win the division and they still have

200
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: a shot at you know, yeah, of course they have

201
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: a shot at making the postseason. Well they do because

202
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: of the the the maritatically, I guess no, I mean,

203
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, teams that lose it. Look at the NTEK.

204
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: Schedule remaining every team in the National Football.

205
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: That's a week by week thing. But unfortunately for them,

206
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: as a great example, you know, the Ravens are getting

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar Jackson's gonna be back. They have to win.

208
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: They're a desperate, desperate super Bowl you know type team.

209
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that now has to win, run the table almost

210

225
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: Rose and is here as well. If the playoffs started

226
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: today AFC in this order, Colts, Pats, Broncos, Steelers, Bills, Chargers, Chiefs,

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: who would have think thank Thom, Colts, Pats, Broncos, especially

228
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: Colts and the Pats because the Pats, I know they've

229
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: been I.

230
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: Think last year they were better than a few previous years.

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 3: But Drake May, I don't think it really exploded onto

232
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: the scene at all, Haddie.

233
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's really just been this year, hasn't it.

234
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: Tennabe that he had an encouraging rookie season, but he

235
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: had nothing around of him, he had no talent around him.

236
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: Now have a ton of talents around.

237
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: Him, and then and then, and then you look at

238
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: the Colts, and then of course the way the Broncos

239
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: have been playing.

240
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: You can make a lot of money putting those two

241
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: one to two in the AFC before the season began.

242
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean normally you'd be rattling off just saying Chiefs, Bills, Ravens.

243
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: Yes, right now. The Ravens, as we know, wouldn't even qualify.

244
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of season we played wrongly about

245
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: halfway point, and I think the Steelers, as much as

246
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: they had a nice encouraging start of the season, I

247
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: just don't know if they're okay. Yeah, they're okay, and

248
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: that's no more than that. You know, that's probably as

249
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: far as that's going.

250
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Again, the Colts would be refreshing. I mean, I think

251
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: it's been a long time, but you know, we've talked

252
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: about how they they managed to all the right pieces

253
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 1: and put them together. Right now, I don't know. I

254
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: don't have their schedule right in front of me and

255
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: who they've played, because they were not a great team

256
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: last year. They haven't exactly played all the heavyweights in

257
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I think they got a game this

258
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: week they played. Hang on one second, I'll tell you

259
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: because we're doing spread screen nor well, they play at

260
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh this week, relatively tough game. There's slight slight favorites

261
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: in that game. I thought they had a tougher game.

262
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,119
Speaker 1: In the NFC, yep, it's Packers.

263
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: They have the They would be the number one seed

264
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: right now at five one and one, followed by Eagles, Bucks, Seahawks, Lyons,

265
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: Rams and four nine Ers now loaded.

266
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: Eagles and Buccaneers are ahead of.

267
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: The the Seahawks and the Lions and the Rams by

268
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: virtue they've played an extra game. They are both six

269
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: and two, while the Seahawks, Lions, and Rams are both

270
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: at are All three of those teams are at five

271
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: and two in those Obviously, those records will change, including

272
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: my best guess is the Lions win this weekend, but

273
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: who knows, we'll see. That's why they play the game.

274
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: So but once again, I think a lot of these

275
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: teams you kind of expected to be here of that top.

276
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: I did think Minnesota would be in this mix. I

277
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: thought they would be at this time of the especially

278
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: when we looked at their schedule. How it was probably

279
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: the softest schedule. It as terribly pointed out, and then

280
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: we talked about a little earlier today. They had the

281
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: easiest schedule to start the season. Now they have the toughest.

282
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: So it's going to be well, as Kose pointed out today,

283
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: and that you got to play when you play them,

284
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, your your record within your division is paramount.

285
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: If you're going to try to get into that dance

286
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: and the party, you have to win your division games.

287
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: And this is only the second game the Vikings have

288
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: had in their division. We know they opened up, you know,

289
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean for crying all out ja J McCarthy and

290
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: I still, honestly, honestly don't understand how he was named

291
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: NFC Offensive Player of the Week by playing one good

292
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: quarter of football the fourth quarter against the Bears. But

293
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: still so be it. But the Vikings are one and

294
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: zero against divisional opponents so far, and that's where you

295
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: have to the Vikings have any glimmer of hope of

296
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: making some noise in December and getting into the conversation,

297
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: you have to beat your divisional opponents, and I don't

298
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: think anywere well what.

299
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: I know, if the coach pointed out, that's where one

300
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: at all can argue with the record.

301
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: And this was a Detroit Lion. This is the Detroit Lions.

302
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: They're trying to be one and o in the Detroit

303
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: Lions season.

304
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers. The remaining well, the remaining schedule

305
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: is there's a lot to be desired. Uh, they take

306
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: they host the Panthers, that's an easy win. This week

307
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: they're at and then they host the Eagles as well.

308
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: I believe now that game will be difficult.

309
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: At Giants host the Vikings at Detroit for Thanksgiving.

310
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh is it really? That's the Thanksgiving Bears.

311
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: They're home to the Bears.

312
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: They're at Denver, at Detroit, I mean at Bears home

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: to the Ravens. And then they finished the season against

314
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: the Vikings.

315
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: That's tough schedule.

316
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's an easy schedule.

317
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: Well, the Panthers, Giants, Vikings, Bears, Ravens.

318
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: I don't think any of those teams.

319
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Well, I think the Ravens will get I mean again,

320
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: their defense has been horrific. I mean forgetting that. Lamar

321
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Jackson's coming back this week, he's playing. They play Thursday

322
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: night against an awful Miami team, So we'll see how

323
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: he responds and they respond. But they know what's at

324
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: stake right now. I think that's where you saw what

325
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: you know that hardball is going to get that team

326
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: finding a way. I mean defensively. I mean Lamarro give

327
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: him quite a boost offensively, and they still have plenty

328
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: of talent around him. But I don't know.

329
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 4: I know everybody.

330
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: Everybody wants to say, Baltimore's fine, Baltimore's going to see

331
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: this week's let's see, they better start winning some games.

332
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they come here a week from Sunday. That's what

333
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying that is that they're not going to lose

334
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: to Miami. I don't unless someone believes that.

335
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 4: I don't know.

336
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: You ridiculed Miami. You thought their coaching be fired. I

337
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 3: know they beat your Falcons.

338
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Cly Well, that was shocking to me how badly Atlanta

339
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: played that game, given that game was in Atlanta U.

340
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: And I listened to the audio again, you basically said

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: Atlanta was it looked like a double digit victory for

342
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: the Well.

343
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: I've said that based on the fact that every Miami's

344
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: last I don't know how many road games they've lost, by.

345
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: No doubt of this Miami club, and I'm still outing him.

346
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: Their backs were against the Wall was gut checked.

347
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: It was so bad that kirk Cousins is basically asking

348
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: anyone to pick him up off the scrap heap. Now

349
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: do you think the Vikings should Absolutely not. Well, there's

350
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: still games to win, Mark and kirk Cousins is going

351
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: to do. He can't because he's not going to get

352
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: the chance to They've been waiting long enough from the

353
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: time they drafted J. J. McCarthy to play him in

354
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: more than one game in a row. Let me ask

355
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: you a question. They're not going to bring kirk cousins.

356
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: What if McCarthy's awful the rest of this year in

357
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 3: awful next year.

358
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: This this team is awful next year, that's a whole

359
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: other conversation. If he's if he has a you know,

360
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: like has a year like you know, the first because

361
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: I look at it is this first year he didn't

362
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: play last year. If he has that kind of season that,

363
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, like the start that bow Knicks had and

364
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: even Drake May with, although the Vikings have a lot

365
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: more talent around McCarthy than May had a year ago. Yeah,

366
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, well, if he has another terrible year next year,

367
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: probably cost Quasi's job. I mean, it's That's that's the

368
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: risk you take when you when you you have to

369
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: try to draft a franchise quarterback. I think they had

370
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: that Chiron of the Packers have had three quarterbacks in

371
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: how long and look at the list of yours. Yeah,

372
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Lions, the Vikings have gone through a dozen.

373
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: Here's a text message I want you to ponder and

374
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: answer on the other side of the break, is there

375
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: is skis them within the Vikings. Alec Lewis hinted at

376
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: attention into the locker room and a lack of spark

377
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: underpass uh past rosters.

378
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 4: With KOC, the.

379
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 3: Training stashes training step has also been under fire due

380
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: to injury management panic or patients. Want you to address

381
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: that controversial text message the other side of the break,

382
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: you're an insider.

383
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840

00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 4: Jimmy Buckets was big again last night?

393
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: Was he yeah?

394
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: We didn't need him.

395
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Buckets wanted to be here? Well he

396
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: did at one time.

397
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: Well, at one point he did. Yeah, it was a

398
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: fun time. Did he want to be here? He was

399
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: traded here. I don't know if he really had any

400
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: saying well, I don't think he did either.

401
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Is your U? Is there tension in the Viking lot?

402
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 4: I have their tension between the coaches and the coach

403
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: And if I've heard.

404
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: Of some rumors, Alec Lewis and Ben Gestling and Kevin

405
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Seaffert and those guys are there's reason why they are

406
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: called beat reporters. They're there every single day. They're plugged in,

407
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: they're they're at practice, They've talked to players on a

408
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: regular basis. I no longer do that stuff. I'm not

409
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: going to suggest that I know anything about schisms or

410
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: whatever might be happening or ten.

411
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: I mean it kind of the elder statesman. Why don't

412
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 4: you dig into it?

413
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't really care to, all right, And I think that,

414
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: but I think what comes with the territory and what

415
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: I've learned over the years when that when I I

416
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: did see that stuff happening, is when expectations are sky

417
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: high and your team and they're and you're dealing with floundering. Well, yeah,

418
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: I mean the injuries, uh piling up the individual defense.

419
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 4: There's no injuries on the defense.

420
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: No, no, a lot. No, there's there's other than Van Ginkel. No,

421
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: there hasn't been, And so I don't there's always going

422
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: to be, you know, in meetings, and it's inevitable that

423
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, and Kaosi can say all you want about

424
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: the kumbaya part of it that you know this team

425
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: and we've seen the videos when they do win, how

426
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: you know how tight knit their ssuposally are and you know,

427
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: you got to get well, you got to try to

428
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: get well. I mean, what what McCarthy potentially is going

429
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: to be able to do. And he does have justin Jefferson,

430
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: he does have Addison. Hopefully they're gonna have both Darrisaw

431
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and O'Neill back full time this Sunday to at least

432
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: give him a chance against this juggernaut Lions team. I

433
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: don't expect a lot but I think what happens is

434
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: when you start losing teams are you know, I'm saying,

435
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: they're they're, they're, they're they're getting shredded apart. But you know,

436
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: it gets a little harder to look at the schedule

437
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: and go, Man, we had aspirations of picking up or

438
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: we left off last year with that Detroit game. More importantly,

439
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: when you as you laid out, I mean, it's easy

440
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: to forget. They literally were playing for the number one

441
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC last year. That's how quickly things

442
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: can turn around and and will turn around again. I

443
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: mean the teams that are scrambling right now to make

444
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or and the teams that you know, the

445
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Colts teams, all those teams. There's always surprise teams. So

446
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: you got to stay the course and figure things out.

447
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: But I don't know what Wolves like tonight, right, Yeah,

448
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: well it's some cellation.

449
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 4: What does the league do thirty.

450
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's it's they scheduled these games for

451
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: national television and you try to sell them to the public,

452
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: and then you got Anthony Edwards out, you got Lebron out,

453
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: you got Donzige out. I mean, you don't you have

454
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: the three big marquee stars not playing time out right

455
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: out yeah, and and le Bron's got a sciatic nerve

456
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: or something. Ant's got the hamstring, the hammy. So I mean,

457
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: your three marquee names aren't playing tonight, so you're selling

458
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: your product. Basically, should have a chance then tonight with

459
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: the well with they had no chance if he played,

460
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: probably not not without Ant. No, I mean their defense,

461
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean they can someone said, uh said when watching

462
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: a game the other night, being out there. I mean

463
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: as much as Ants. You know, thirty plus points was missed.

464
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: They missed a lot on defense the other night. And

465
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: that's that's the difference. You know, you know, the Lakers

466
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: are two and two of the Wolves are two and two.

467
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: But I mean the Wolves are, you know, pretty big

468
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: favorites tonight they are, well, there's seven and a half

469
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: point favorites. I think because of the fact that you know,

470
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart's also out, nonsense is out, Lebron's out.

471
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: How are all these people of this season just started?

472
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, we had this doc yesterday. I mean,

473
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Clark is out for the for the Wolves, and

474
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: again one of their better defensive players, and and who's

475
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: been extremely durable in play through everything is out, so

476
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: I mean, and certainly you don't want to, you know,

477
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: risk having anything further happen to Anthony Edwards when he's

478
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: your meal ticket to whatever success the Bikes, Vikings the

479
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: Wolves are going to have this year. But it's it's

480
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: just too bad from a ticket buying But I mean,

481
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the game the other night. I think Shannon's

482
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: got to get more aggressive. I saw much more aggressive

483
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels. But as you talked about yesterday, uh, and

484
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: Finch has talked about, I mean, defensive they were, they

485
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: were kind of non existent.

486
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: Is concerned He's already said he's concerned.

487
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what did you up?

488
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: What did you enjoy more the game or the pre

489
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: game meal at the Lexus Club.

490
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: I like the game more than the meal at the

491
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: Lexus Club. It was very good. But they have State Freaks, Yeah,

492
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: very nice. When a rare time they'll be out there, right,

493
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 4: it will be post time. He'll be at the Lexus rare.

494
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: The only rare was the Freetz, the State Frets Freez

495
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: is that what you call them?

496
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't get them.

497
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: Rare.

498
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't like rare, rare. Were you Alexis Club the

499
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: other day?

500
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: Of course you was the other night.

501
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I took that picture of Anthony Edwards wearing his

502
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: slippers on the on the nights. Yeah, yes, on the floor.

503
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: That nice. Yeah, it was good. It was entertaining first

504
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: half in particularly, and then the Nuggets blew them out

505
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: in the third quarter.

506
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: How about your wild club? They lose again. I was

507
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: watching out of control, uh, and it's just sort of

508
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 4: got capriceoff keeps turning the puck.

509
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: Over man and they had a chance.

510
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: You know, the guy came suddenly sloppy with.

511
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: This sloppy and they had it was big reunion night

512
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: last night. You know, Gabrick comes back and Pierre Mark

513
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: what's that?

514
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: He had a wooden stick.

515
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: I read that and Capriole is going to break all

516
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: the scoring records and Gabrick acknowledged that. How did he

517
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: keeps turning over the puck? Like they got bigger problems

518
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: than just that. But I don't know. It's Becauds have

519
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: to grow up in a hurry.

520
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: I'd expect to pick up where you left off.

521
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 3: When you fire your fourteen win quarterback most important position

522
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: in the game.

523
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Again, you have to have that. You have to have

524
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: a if you want to do a deep dive in

525
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: the whole mindset. First, you know, Darnold was offered a

526
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: contract here, and I think that he also knew, and

527
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: the game plan us set in motion. They were going

528
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: to start. They drafted JJ McCarthy to play when you

529
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: lose all of last year. Sam Donald played last year.

530
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not suggesting that he would not have

531
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: played had McCarthy been healthy. I mean they brought in

532
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, but at some point we were talking about it,

533
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: remember last year, for I think before we knew that

534
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy was going to be out, Game three, game four,

535
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, McCarthy's going to get in there.

536
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: They don't want to waste a year by having him

537
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: just throw practice footballs, you know, looking at the rest

538
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: of the rookie class that played last year. So the

539
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: answer that question again is because when you invest in

540
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: a quote unquote franchise quarterback, you're not going to have

541
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: him sit out another year. Now you can make the argument,

542
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: and the Packers have done it twice now going back

543
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers backing up Farv and you know the

544
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: situation they have now where they they're starting quarterbacks, sits

545
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Those days are, for the

546
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: most part, I think are gone. I mean, I don't

547
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: think it happens very often. And we'll see what Sammy

548
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: darnalds we can do with Seattle as the season progresses.

549
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: They have a good team, they have a good defense.

550
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, but he might it might rear exluckily ahead

551
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: wish him well. I mean he was he was a

552
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: class actor, no doubt about it, and you wish him well.

553
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: But I think the you know, the handwriting was on

554
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: the wall. They're gonna play McCarthy and they're going to

555
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: live and die, not just the results this year, but

556
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: next year more importantly. That's that's just the way it

557
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: works out, with all the right proposition.

558
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: From what we've seen so.

559
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Far, well, I mean so far, that's I mean, that's

560
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, it's that he's brittle. Well, I

561
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if he's brittal or.

562
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: Season and a half, he's played two games, missed an

563
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: entire year because of his knee, that he has a

564
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 4: high ankle.

565
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: Spring, what's next, Maybe he's back, and.

566
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: Of course Hutchinson's gonna want to show everybody. Yeah that

567
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: he earned one hundred and eighty million dollars deal one

568
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: forty one guaranteed.

569
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 4: How about that? The Lions have did you say it?

570
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 4: Are at Tennessee hit.

571
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: A billion dollarion dollars tied up and they've got guys.

572
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: Hutchinson, golf Saint Brown, Gibbs, the other wide receiver Williams

573
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: and Penny Sewell.

574
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they've just they they're just.

575
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: Thirty, has done up, pushed all the right buttons after

576
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: forty years of ineptitude. I mean they have It's.

577
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: They were not in up to nineteen ninety one. They

578
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: went to the NFC champions.

579
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay when they were I know one year they went

580
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: twelve and four and away Fonts And for all you

581
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: kids out there, there was a time were going back

582
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: to Bud Grant. The Vikings would never and I mean

583
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: never lose to the Lions. The Lions were he kick

584
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: sand in their faces all the time. I mean, that's

585
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: that's the famous the dan Or Lawski running out of

586
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: the end zone in the back of the end zone

587
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: here at Metro. That was a nutshell.

588
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: I'm glad he did because that allowed him to go

589
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: oh in sixteen that's right. If he doesn't. That was

590
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: the closest. That was the closest the Lions came to

591
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: a victory that year. They lost twelve ten and I

592
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: was at that game. Deuce and I were there.

593
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: I think about how they I mean, they wasted Barry Sanders.

594
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: He retired with still he could have played under the

595
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: five years, but he said, I can't do this anymore.

596
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: Say with the wide receiver what was his name, not

597
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: Herman Moore, with the other guy Megatron, Megatron, Megatron, same thing.

598
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: He'd only been in the league like nine or ten years,

599
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: and said, this is enough.

600
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Guys, I can't do it the best at their positions,

601
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and they had nothing around.

602
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: I think Stafford would have retired too. I think I've

603
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: been traded to the Rams. He'd had enough.

604
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, well it's it's taken a long time. And

605
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: then I mean trot the troits, do you know to

606
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: finally break through? And this is NFC you just rattle off.

607
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean NFC is they're loaded, loaded, and the Rams

608
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: might be You could argue that the Ram could be

609
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: the best. That's a good team, a really good team.

610
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: Matty Stafford is like a fine wine. He's playing his

611
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: good of football's he's ever.

612
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers are a hot mess because of

613
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: all the injuries they've had, and I don't see them

614
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: overcoming it. I mean it's just too much every position

615
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: and you throw what the biking is getting hit injured

616
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: a couple other teams and they're I don't know how

617
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: they're going to recover physically, going to recover from all

618
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: what they've been going through.

619
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: How about that Toronto club last night?

620
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm glad you mentioned it.

621
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: Now they've got a big payroll too. They got the

622
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: fifth highest payroll they bought. It's one hundred million less

623
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: than they tried to get Otani. But yeah, they they

624
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: play the game, as they say, the right way. It's

625
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: not just hitting the ball out of the ballpark.

626
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: They make good.

627
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: That was big last night.

628
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: It was when Guerrero hit the big home run. But

629
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: they put the ball in play. They just they get

630
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: base hits at the most opportune times. They don't have to,

631
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, they do the right things offensively, which I

632
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: really like about that team.

633
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: You do like this Toronto.

634
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Louis Farland our guy coming back.

635
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he's you like Louis.

636
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about intentionally balking h to put the runner

637
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: on third. So it was like the headed with Otani,

638
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: of course, Yeah, I've never seen that before. Well, they

639
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: decided they're not even going to pitch to all time.

640
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: They pitched to him he started, I mean he pitched

641
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: obviously in the beginning of the game, and he pitched

642
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: and then I think they gave him an un what

643
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: do they call it, unintentional intentional walk the first time

644
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: up they pitched to him. I'm using that they quotes. Yeah,

645
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: but they pitched around him. They're not giving him a

646
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: lot to get Now they play again tonight. Uh, and

647
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: your guy Blake Snell's pitching for the Dodgers. You would

648
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: think advantage LA in that one, but who knows. I

649
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: hope it. I mean it's too too right.

650
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, two games.

651
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: They got to go back to Toronto, no matter what

652
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: happens tonight.

653
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 4: Play tonight.

654
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: It's like just like the Twins did in ninety one,

655
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: they fell behind three games to two of the Dodge

656
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cardinals Swards won the.

657
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: Games of the series in a row. Your guys, Sandy

658
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: Colfax didn't pitch game one because of Young Kapoor In

659
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: sixty five and Donnie Drives he won, Colfax won.

660
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

661
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: The Twins won the first two games, right, they beat

662
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: game They beat Drives the land Colfax the first game

663
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: we had.

664
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: A two zip lead, and then Claude Ostein beat him

665
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: in games and.

666
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 4: We lost four game. We lost four of the next five.

667
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And it was all.

668
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 4: Because you were in the stands with that famous picture.

669
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: That famous picture in game one. That's where I want

670
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: I went to. You know, they had to go back

671
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: out there a field bleachers. Think about it, remember.

672
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: Remember the old met You could you could you could

673
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: go underneath the bleachers and with the chain link fence

674
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: and be right there by the warning track. Yeah, of course,

675
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: And it was just you would just hang out. There

676
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: were just all dirt and stuff. There weren't seats.

677
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't even know why they allowed you to go

678
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: down there, but they did.

679
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: That's during regular season games. And then they had the

680
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: old not whole day. You know, people he had buck

681
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: to go sitting. It was the hell of the stadium.

682
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: I loved, I loved Matt Stadium. It was it was home.

683
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: It was home to me, It really was. I have

684
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: such fond memories all the way through.

685
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 4: You look a you're getting emotional about it.

686
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: Well I am. I mean it was a you know,

687
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: obviously the Vikings played there as well, but I mean

688
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: for it was a dual purpose stadium and they had

689
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: a lot of them back then. On the dirt remained

690
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: in the uh, you know, during the football season for

691
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: a while until the Twins season was over. But you know,

692
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: the Vikings had some hilacious seasons out there. Some you know,

693
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: bad seasons early on, but fun seasons and all the

694
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: way through. You know, purple people leads off.

695
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 3: Remember when the Twins used to have a convertible. Take

696
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: the pictures of the bullpen out out to the mom Well,

697
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 3: they weren't taven the monster was. They would they would,

698
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: they would, They would be in the right field another

699
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 3: warning track. They would hop inside a convertible and then

700
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: convertible would wheel them over.

701
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: They didn't have to run in.

702
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: They drove it comes their closer Bill Daily in the

703
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: back of the convertible. Remember Ron Peranowski, former Dodge.

704
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 4: How about Bobby Miller.

705
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: Remember when we had Miller and Peranowski and the bullpen together,

706
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 3: they were basically on stopabill daily.

707
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: It was my favorite relief pitch, won't you come home?

708
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: Bill Daily? I was, I was a rocket. That was

709
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: that was That was quite a treat when you watched

710
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: the I drive the convertible, bring the relief picture in

711
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: too far along from that bullpen.

712
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 4: Always a Cadillac convertible.

713
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: Correct, Well, I'm sponsored, I assume, but yeah, I don't

714
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: know if it was or not. I don't know. I

715
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: don't think they had sponsorships back then, back at that point.

716
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: So think about this casey would be announced.

717
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 4: Think about this your Metchbolt say it was your home

718
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 4: away from homeway back then, and I was.

719
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: K I was, It's not that far from there now. Yeah,

720
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: someone had a picture I showed. I took a still

721
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: shot of Cofax at the game the other night, and

722
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: he's eighty nine years old, I'm saying, mouse and he

723
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: looks great. I mean, sixty years ago he beat the Twins,

724
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, and on two days rest, and then without

725
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: being able to throw a curveball because his arm was

726
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: so messed up, and then he managed to pitch and

727
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: when the cy young A warred for the third time

728
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: the next year, and then he had to call it

729
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: quits because they didn't have the technology that was it.

730
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: He was done. But somebody had a ticket. I think

731
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: it was like ten bucks or something for the World

732
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: Series ticket. I mean in Toronto they're going for like

733
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: eight grand or something for a Saturday night's game or yeah,

734
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: I think what is today?

735
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 4: They had for eight grand?

736
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: I know, oh they are going. I know people up there,

737
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: they are going absolutely bonkers up there. And the fact

738
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: that they know now they get at least one game there.

739
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: It's uh, Toronto has been waiting, you know, for a

740
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: little while since what ninety three?

741
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: The last ninety three was the last time.

742
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, our guy Mollie was was was up there doing

743
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: his thing. Joe Carter. Yeah, it's a fun city. I

744
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: like Toronto a lot.

745
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: Wasn't that when Joe Carter he had a walk off

746
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 4: to win the World Series?

747
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: Did he down the left field line?

748
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 4: He was waving it like that.

749
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: They had one of my favorite just like Carlton Fisk

750
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: or that was Carlton Fisk. Dave Steve was the guy

751
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: who was always a really loved rock solid, you know,

752
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: every fourth day, give him the ball kind of pitcher,

753
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, workmanlike, blue collar kind of guy. But yeah,

754
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: they have some. They had some really good players, I

755
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: guess were good players today. Hopefully Springer. I think Springer

756
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to play tonight, so let's hope

757
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: so is he. That's what I heard earlier today in

758
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: one of the national shows that he's uh, he's got

759
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: that tweak in his back, but I guess he was

760
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: available for pinch hitting last night, but hopefully'll play tonight.

761
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 4: You can use him.

762
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, ball hands on deck at this point, mark core wrecked,

763
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: but it's been I hope people are tuning in. You know,

764
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: baseball gets even pushed aside even you know, because they

765
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: had because of everything going on. And you know, look

766
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: at you have a classic game the other night with

767
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: eighteen innings. I mean, if you could stay up till

768
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: one thirty in.

769
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: The morning, Berdie Freeman with a game winner walk off.

770
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: You see that coming. He's got that great up cut swing.

771
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: He's he's money when it comes to situations like that.

772
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: But uh, give Toronto credit for Boston back last night.

773
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: After that emotion.

774
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 4: A lot of people have written that had written that

775
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: club often.

776
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Especially with Little Tani coming back to pinch last night,

777
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: He's okay. Might be one of the greatest athletes of

778
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: all time. I mean he is uh team though.

779
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know I have a story that I haven't

780
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 4: used yet.

781
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: I got a couple of days old, and it's one

782
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: of those that's he's had a little longer shelf life.

783
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 4: But there are quotes from all sorts of.

784
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: Athletes talking about what they think about Tani And you know,

785
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: my homes has got a quote a lot of a

786
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of players, a lot of basketball players,

787
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: and they're talking about it and they can't believe how

788
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 3: good this guy can be. That you know, that's it's

789
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: you know, in basketball, there's really nothing similar cause you

790
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 3: play offense and defense all the time. But you know,

791
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: some of them Garrison's have been like I think even

792
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: Sue ended a piece on this too, where you talk

793
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: about it would be like a goaltender, you know, shutting

794
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 3: out a team and scoring three goals, right, you know

795
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Well, or like a quarterback throwing three

796
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: touchdowns and then making three interceptions. You know, and the

797
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: only guy that it could do that would be the Yeah,

798
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: but it is amazing. But it is the one sport

799
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 3: where you you know, you can pitch and you can't hit.

800
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: It's just we've never seen anything like it since rude

801
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: and I.

802
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: Think you bring up a good pointment when other athletes

803
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: from other sports, the top athletes are kind of in

804
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: awe of what Otani is doing right now. You know

805
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: that's a testament to just correct his greatness. He's just

806
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: not another superstar. I mean, he's he's elevated the game

807
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: and played, you know, at his best, and we still

808
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: have to see if he can you know, be the

809
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: guy again and see and find a way if he

810
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: gets if they pitched to him to uh to find

811
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: a way of of of of winning another World Series

812
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. But he's something special. Spread swing tomorrow

813
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: you will be in a one thirty, right, I will

814
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,239

00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: or it's only taking him three how many years? So

816
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,919

817
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: of games?

00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 4: Right?

819
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: Are we sure he's just not going against what his

820
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: actual thoughts are if he's just taking the opposite of

821
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 2: what he said?

822
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 4: Did he talk about this, did he talk about this
