1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,559

Speaker 2: Com at a mini top five at five or like

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: I said, we've done this before, we can extend it

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: into the next segment and then prepare for Luigi at

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour. It's entirely up to how

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: much material you have prepared. Well, I mean, we can

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: go either way.

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 3: I figure, if it's gonna be a shorty, then anyway

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: as well go to my wheelhouse and do this time

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: now for.

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: The obligatory Kevin Fallness Minnesota Wild mention.

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: And if it's gonna be a shorty, why not instead

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: of just making them happy, why not just bring them

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: on and have him preview the game tonight?

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: Hi, Kevin, let me tell you something.

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 5: I'm on my way into the office. What's this kid's

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 5: name in Iowa? Do the Wild play tonight? What time

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 5: do they start? I'm just here to answer questions. Are

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 5: you the real hockey ambassador? Is that what this really

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: amounts to? You know, I'll leave it up to the

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 5: people to decide.

26
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: People.

27
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it might will very well be. How do

28
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: you pronounce the name of our Iowa goaltender.

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: Someone Halai goalie Martin Slovakia Hallai, Hallabi Hallabi? Is I

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: have that right? Halla?

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 5: But I will say this, Yeah, I don't follow the

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 5: Iowa wild that closely, so I'm not one hundred percent sure.

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 5: But Cal Peterson is their other guy, and I think

34
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 5: there it's a pretty even split. Peterson's the guy with

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 5: NHL experience. Hallai is a guy that I think is

36
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 5: I don't know. He's a Slovaki and he's been getting

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 5: some run down there as well well.

38
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: But they've been split in time. Let me ask you

39
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: a very direct question.

40
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: Once we trade the Great Wall of Saint Paul to

41
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: get that top six guy, yeah, do you agree that

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: it's a matter of moments before we find out that

43
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Flower is ending his retirement and he'll become our backup goaltender.

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: Let me tell you this, That would be fascinating.

45
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: And I did spend time with Marc Andre Fleury this

46
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 5: past weekend. He did a ceremonial drop Saturday night to

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 5: cap off hockey Gay Minnesota and Eric Stall and Alex Klagowski.

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 5: There's no reason to think that that guy couldn't strap

49
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 5: it in and play the second half of this year,

50
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 5: not even the second half, it's like.

51
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: The final twenty games.

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: He'd be the backup to Philip gust So he'd fill

53
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: a role when you need one hundred percent if they

54
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 5: go down that road and he's amenable to it, one

55
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 5: hundred percent.

56
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: I'm guessing he's in better shape now than he ever was.

57
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: He's not a guy who's gonna get you know, gonna

58
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: get fat and not pay attention and take.

59
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: And not only that he misses it. He's been you

60
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: know what.

61
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: He's a great family man, loves being a dad, loves

62
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: being around his kids. But now he's overwhelmed with his

63
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: three young kids. He would be able to get out

64
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: of the house a little bit, go spend time with

65
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: the boys on the road, get a chance to run

66
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: at another Stanley cup. Uh and he sees Quinn Hughes,

67
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 5: Coroll Caprice, I met Bouldie. The pieces are there, we

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: just have to put it together.

69
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: Does Bill garn allow you to take a position on

70
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: whether we need to make one more big trade? Are

71
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: you allowed to take a position on that, or does

72
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: he prohibit you from taking such a stand?

73
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: I'm allowed, But who would listen to me? Does he

74
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 4: care what I say? No?

75
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: But he doesn't care what any of us says. No, right,

76
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: but we still say it because that's what we're obliged

77
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: to do.

78
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 4: You're the hockey guy.

79
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: You do the shortest pregame shows in regional Hockey Network history.

80
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I'm still amazed that you get away with that,

81
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: doing thirty minutes.

82
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: But that's another story.

83
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 5: This I do the amount of a pregame that I'm

84
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: allowed to do by the head honchos in the corner's office.

85
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 5: It's not like I say, hey, is it okay if

86
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: I just do fifteen in all? No, this is what

87
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: I believe me. I'd do an hour and a half

88
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 5: if they love it. We were gonna do a wild

89
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: fanline after every late game. Yeah, remember so how that

90
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: didn't come to fruition either? A lot of it's falling

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: on your shoulders the most.

92
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: That's very, very true.

93
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: This was a good idea. I like this, Blake Mark,

94
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: This is well done, This worked out. Maybe we'll do

95
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: this every once in a while. Well, if he's sitting

96
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: in the arena, and it'll placate him a little bit

97
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: because he always just always has his feelings.

98
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 4: Heard about the last the wild player play again? How'd

99
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: they do last game? Yea, of the questions I hear

100
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: on my way in you love those questions?

101
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: I do, and sometimes I mean. But the sad reality

102
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: is I'm like with this with the Wolves too. Like yesterday,

103
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: I didn't realize they were starting at eight thirty until eighteen.

104
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: Listeners had to remind me. But it was a way

105
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: to start. I went with seven o'clock. All right, well,

106
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: uh hang in, we'll be in touch and we can't

107
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: wait to see it.

108
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a pleasure. And remember so I'm well Louis,

109
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: I said, Hi, Halliba, I will do that for surebe

110
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: thanks for loving Hi. Let's do this.

111
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: Let's pause, let's get caught up, and let's get to

112
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: some other top five and five items and then we

113
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: will prepare for Luigi at the bottom of the hour.

114
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: Don't go away.

115
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: Before we go, the Fanto wants to give you shot

123
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: The floor is yours, Brett Blakemore Well, we got our

124
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: wild talk out of the way. Wild Blackhawks six forty

125
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: five pre game seven o'clock puck drop wallstet in the net.

126
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: So not traded yet, maybe his last game. You never know,

127
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: it might take a little longer. On the other side

128
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: of town, your Timberwolves. I'm told that I didn't see

129
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: the game basket to basket, but I'm told it wasn't

130
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: a real basketball game.

131
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 4: It was, and I'm looking ahead.

132
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to the game Thursday against the Thunder at

133
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Target Center. Oh that's a nice little gaming pick, well,

134
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: or is it? Because it's on the back end of

135
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: a back to back. The Wolves are in Dallas take

136
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: on the MAVs tomorrow at seven point thirty, and the

137
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: next day they're taking on the Thunder.

138
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: Schedule loss and Anthony Edwards I think for tomorrow has

139
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: listed as questionable. He was sidelined for yesterday for last

140
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: night's game. I'm striking a little bit worried about this,

141
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: whatever this foot condition is, because it does seem like

142
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: it's become a chronic issue for a player, by the way,

143
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: who I think he missed nine games total the first

144
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: three years if that, and he's missed more than that

145
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: in this season alone.

146
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: So it's the way it works.

147
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: Inevitably, sometimes your durability just kind of gets gets worn

148
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: down the longer in it.

149
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: But that's the new issue, right.

150
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: If I go to the game Thursday, yeah, I mean,

151
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: if he is out for injury, that's fine.

152
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well it wouldn't be. It wouldn't be a load

153
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: management in his case, for sure can't be. It wouldn't

154
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: be and it can't be. But he might still be hurt.

155
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: I mean, he's obviously the foot is must be a problem.

156
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: And though it was weird because Finchy after the game

157
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: almost sounded surprised that he didn't know all that much,

158
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: and I almost took it as he was a little

159
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: bit annoyed. I might be, you know me, I'm Danny Downer.

160
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: I live for the controversy. But I'm curious to know

161
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: if there might if there's any sort of I don't know,

162
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: schism or disagreement about exactly what's going on there and

163
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: whether it's being handled the right.

164
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: Way, et cetera, et cetera.

165
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: Well go back to where we started, is the A

166
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: Rods dream dead, because we're now getting coaching opening press conference,

167
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: introductory press conferences, and one for one Mike McCarthy, who

168
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: I've been consistent on this, There is no shame in

169
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: the cry game. I don't judge him.

170
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: With you, I couldn't agree more, especially when I think

171
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: it comes off as genuine as it did again today.

172
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine if you worked your whole life in

173
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: coaching and you finally land your job of coaching your

174
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: own hometown, Minnesota Vikings.

175
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Yes, you know it's emotional, so I love it. I

176
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: absolutely loved it too. I think it was genuine. I

177
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: thought it was a great moment, and I mean, I

178
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 2: don't know. Look, we can all get cynical about press

179
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: conferences and what's affected behavior and what's sort of manufactured

180
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: behavior and what isn't. We all make our choices on that,

181
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: But what I saw was just genuine love and joy

182
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: that he's there now, that he was overcome by and

183
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: I thought it was terrific. The sad news for Vikings

184
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: fans still holding onto the A Rodge dream that maybe

185
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a second shot at getting him. That

186
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: seems less likely because McCarthy has worked with A Rodge before.

187
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 2: It didn't end great, but they did get the Super Bowl,

188
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: and McCarthy claimed he absolutely is hoping that A Rodge

189
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: will consider coming back for another year into Pittsburgh.

190
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so here's the quote.

191
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: He definitely wants him back, he said, quote, I don't

192
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: see why you wouldn't. I've spoken Aaron. That's really where

193
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: we are. But I was able to sit back and

194
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: watch the games. I watch most of the Pittsburgh games

195
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: on TV, and I thought he was a great asset

196
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: for the team. So he's The question is if he's

197
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: going to come back at all, and that's another can

198
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: of worms to open. But if he does, you'd have

199
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: to think his guy being there it has to help.

200
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: It's got to be a good poll. The other NFL

201
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: conundrum that's kind of broken just broke on is the

202
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick. Yes, so not getting into He's not a

203
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: first ballot Hall of Famer. Lots of reactions JJ Watt

204
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: sharing his frustrations. Some execs also kind of anonymously saying,

205
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: what the hell is going on here? So Bill Belichick,

206
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: eight time winning Super Bowl head coach, is not a

207
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: first ballot Hall of Famer, all right?

208
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 4: And there's oh did I see?

209
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: I thought I read somewhere because the reaction is is very,

210
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: very swift, people like Mahomes saying go out of your mind,

211
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: JJ Watt, a number of individuals. But one of the

212
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: reports I thought indicated a belief that is it.

213
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: Let me double check? Is it Pollion? Let me see

214
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: where it is? Hold on, Well, I can't find the

215
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 4: damn thing now.

216
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: I thought that that there's two theories on why this

217
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: has taking place.

218
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: One is that media.

219
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: Jackals are small and and and and bitter because Belichick

220
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: was not particularly cooperative with the press. The other option

221
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: offered up and I thought Pollion is in this mix

222
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: in terms of having this opinion is that some believe

223
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: that because of Spygate, because of a couple of the scandals,

224
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: that he should not be a first ballot guy. Everybody

225
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: knows he's a Hall of Famer, but that there should

226
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: be some recompense. Some I guess, pushback that he never

227
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: really has received and that this is the way to

228
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: do it, the old we're not going to get We

229
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: know you're going to get in, but we don't want

230
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: you quite to get in yet. So it's a good

231
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: debate point. It's maybe even something we will bring up

232
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: with lou Nanny as well. Also, did you see see

233
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: if I can find it? Go to go for football

234
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: schedule is out twenty twenty six.

235
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 4: Are you ready? And that's that? Are you ready?

236
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's going to be a barnt with Alabama

237
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: and close.

238
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: Here's what I'm saying. There's non conference.

239
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: We host Eastern Illinois, we host Mississippi State, and we

240
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: host Akron. Then we're at Washington, we host Michigan, we're

241
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: at Purdue, we host Iowa on the twenty fourth, we're

242
00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: at Indiana. On Halloween, we host UCLA, We're at Penn State,

243
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: we host Northwestern, and we are at Wisconsin. So Ohio

244
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: State is not on our schedule. Indiana is because I

245
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: don't think Indiana was on the schedule this last year,

246
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: and the Wolverines are still here, although that is indeed

247
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: a home game. Iowa is a home game as well,

248
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: So there you have it.

249
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: Mississippi State. That's a real non conference more.

250
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: Non conference real than we work accustomed to. Correct, although

251
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: I have no idea what kind of team they are

252
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: at the program they are at this point. All right, Uh,

253
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: that's good enough. I think, good job. We'll come back

254
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: and chat with Luigi. A lot of good hockey stuff

255
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: to get to. You have questions, Bradshawn Brian Cafe and

256
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: text line is open at six four six eighty six.

257
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: Welsey sneaks around the world.

258
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: Up ride.

259
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: Down there in the world, can Wayne and studio?

260
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: We know that much so.

261
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: Bitterly cold here, although not as bad as it has

262
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: indeed been. Luigi is with us via the Connetico Water

263
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: Systems hotline.

264
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: How have you been, sir?

265
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 6: Good? Good. It's a little cool here though, I mean

266
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 6: it was sixty five yeah, with a breeze. That cool

267
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 6: weather down here.

268
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you something. There was a big time,

269
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: like serious cold wave through much of the South. Did

270
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: it Did it go as far as where you are

271
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: in Florida?

272
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: Are not that far down?

273
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: Well, that's what I'm saying it was.

274
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

275
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 6: Well, probably at the last night during the night, probably

276
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 6: got down in high forties because there was you know

277
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 6: today it's sixty three, sixty five and it's breezy, and

278
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 6: it's going to be like that for three day.

279
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: Poor thing. I don't know how. I have no idea

280
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: how you're going to get around as Yeah, there you go.

281
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 4: That's fine. Yeah, no sleep though.

282
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 6: Finally find thank god, I needed it badly.

283
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: Well you needed that's sleep now.

284
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: I I asked if there was any sleep down your way,

285
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: but I'm guessing no, not quite.

286
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 6: Did you see then they had snow up in Pensacola?

287
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: Is that right?

288
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 6: I didn't see that. That's great, but up in the

289
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: Panandle they had some snow there last week?

290
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: How many your current count on how many Halls of

291
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: Fame you are in?

292
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: You've reached double digits, haven't you.

293
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

294
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 4: I think it's yeah, okay, so you're.

295
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: The perfect person that nobody's more qualified to answer this

296
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: question than you. We just mentioned it at the end

297
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: of the top five and five, and I don't know

298
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: if you've heard it, but there's a breaking story that

299
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick did not get the necessary votes to move

300
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: forward to be a first ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.

301
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: Now people are ripping.

302
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: This as preposterous on its face absurd, ridiculous. I mean

303
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: even rivals like Pat Maholmes is already tweeting about it.

304
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: The comeback is, well, we gotta nudge him a little

305
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: bit on the Spygates scandal and the Flightgate and all

306
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: that stuff, so we know he's going to get in.

307
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: We're just trying to send a little bit of a message.

308
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: Is that small? Is that stupid?

309
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: Or do you think there's reason to keep him out

310
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: a year, you know, to make him not be allow

311
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: him to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

312
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 6: Well, I believe he should be a first ballot Hall

313
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 6: of Famer to just whether Spike Geek was there or not.

314
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 6: You have to look at the achievements, not the detriments.

315
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 6: I don't care who the human being is. You're going

316
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 6: to find some detriments about him, whether in the game

317
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 6: or outside the game, and whether that's strong enough. Like

318
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 6: I felt for a long time that Pedrows eventually should

319
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 6: have been put in the Hall of Fame. Now they've

320
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 6: put them up for it, and you'll probably get in

321
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 6: that the achievements were there. You can't take away from it.

322
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 6: And and that's something that I can understand people of

323
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 6: different but I feel strongly Barry Bonds should be an

324
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 6: unbelievable ballplayer. You know, it's how do you wait, if

325
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 6: somebody gets a drunk driving, do you put it in

326
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 6: and kills a person? It's still was a great player,

327
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 6: would they put them in? Probably put them in.

328
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

329
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 6: And yet these other discrepancies are things that weren't good,

330
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: whether it's spy ged, whether it's the shouldn't be enough

331
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: to hold them off.

332
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: Or in the case of baseball as well.

333
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: The interesting question because there's a lot of speculation that

334
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: some of it it is writers extracting retribution over not

335
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: just spygate, but the fact that he was such an uncooperative,

336
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, a coach in terms of media. He had

337
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: a terrible relationship with the media. I would hope it's

338
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: not that. I do know, sometimes people can be that small.

339
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but that's the speculation is going to

340
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: be for some people more on that the right of

341
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: the you know, the cranky writers didn't get good quotes

342
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: from him, so they're going to make him Wait. I

343
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: think that's an even less a legit reason to hold

344
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: him out a year than spygate. Frankly, so I'm hoping

345
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: it's not there, But I don't know. It's hard to

346
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: know getting it in the minds of the voters.

347
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: Well, you know what's funny, I agree with you that

348
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: that shouldn't be definitely shouldn't be it. Yet one thing

349
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 6: I can tell you what bothers me or what I

350
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 6: don't I don't agree with are people like that didn't

351
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 6: treat the media very very well at all or it

352
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 6: didn't even have basically any time for the media, wouldn't

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 6: talk to him and everything, and when they finished plane

354
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 6: or coach you whenever they are and they get to

355
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 6: be part of the media. That drives me nuts. That

356
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 6: drives yes, I don't think they should be in that

357
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 6: position if they weren't good enough or smart enough to

358
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 6: realize it's part of their job to meet with the media.

359
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 6: Whether you like the person or not, you still can

360
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 6: have a proper discourse and you know, give your opinion.

361
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: But when you completely don't allow them to do their job,

362
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 6: I don't see why they give you an opportunity to

363
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 6: get that kind of job.

364
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: Later on, it's it'll be the big story overnight. For sure.

365
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: There's no not any question about that, because that's fairly major.

366
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: Given the Belichick resume.

367
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: I've been eager to chat with you today because I

368
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: had missed the Russo reporting and on the possible ability

369
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: his belief based on his reporting, that the Wild would

370
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: consider moving valstat dangling him if it does give them

371
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: a chance to get a big time name, presumably a center,

372
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 2: but obviously it would have to be a primetime player

373
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: in conjunction, perhaps with another draft choice and another player

374
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: as well. I had not heard speculation on that before.

375
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued to find out how you feel about that.

376
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: Would would you, as GM, entertain that if the name

377
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: is big enough, or do you think it's a very

378
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: dangerous road to go down for this team.

379
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 6: Funny you said that because Russ and I had dinner

380
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 6: in Buffalo and discuss that, and he said what would

381
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: you do? I said, I trade him. I said, if

382
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 6: you can get the piece now, that can mean the difference,

383
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 6: maybe you win in the Cup. And as much as

384
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 6: I don't know what Walsta is going to do in

385
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 6: a few and he could become sensational or he could

386
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: be a run of the road goaltender, I would take

387
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 6: my chances with Augustus and afterwards getting another goaltender on

388
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: the open market yep, in the summer. Because one thing

389
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 6: you do find that there are a lot of goaltenders

390
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 6: every year coming out that had their contracts run out

391
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: in the free agent So you've seen goaltenders moved so much.

392
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 6: Look at Detroit they got Talbot. Now that's going to

393
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 6: be about Talbot's fifteen. So goaltenders do move, and it's

394
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 6: it's chancy. But you've gone this far. I think you've

395
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 6: got to take a chance. If that's the chip that's

396
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 6: going to get you a difference maker, then you've got

397
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 6: to make it.

398
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: Give me a difference maker that you believe is actually gettable,

399
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: that you've heard might actually be gettable, that would intrigue Luigi.

400
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 6: Well, that's something that I'm not I'm not at that

401
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 6: position yet where I find somebody that I think is

402
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: going to be as much of difference makers the ones

403
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 6: that are talking about. I like Trocheck as a player

404
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 6: and a good addition, But when I give walls for

405
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 6: troe Check, no, I wouldn't do that. You and and

406
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 6: uh and and when you look around Ryan O'Reilly, I

407
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 6: like him a lot, but I give wolves for him. No,

408
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 6: I'm talking about uh, really a quality centerman that that

409
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 6: they might have not just for one year, but four

410
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 6: or five years. I don't know who's available that they'd

411
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 6: made that deal for. But I think you you you

412
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 6: got to take a look at the teams that are

413
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 6: going to be out of the playoffs. The problem they

414
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 6: got right now. You look at the conferences, especially look

415
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 6: at the Eastern Conference. They're so close. You can almost

416
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 6: go from the fifteen team sixteenth team in the conference

417
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 6: and make the playoffs. You know, you're getting four and

418
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 6: five points basically separating eight teams. So I don't think

419
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 6: people are going to see anybody's available yet because they're

420
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: not going to give up as fast as they normally

421
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 6: would have.

422
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: That's a fair point, that's right. So there may not

423
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: be there may not be players. There may not be

424
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: as many options.

425
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 4: As what you're saying.

426
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying.

427
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we'll have to see. I think.

428
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: Look, I think there's every reason to believe that Garon

429
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: wants to And you know, I'm with you. If if

430
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: it's a player you deem good enough, I think you

431
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: probably have to do it. Because we're talking about Gus Bus.

432
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: Ain't that old, you know, I think he's what do

433
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: we say twenty seven years old.

434
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: Right now, and I get it, you know, get yeah, yeah,

435
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 4: Gus bus and that.

436
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: So it's not like because people have told me, well,

437
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: it's a little bit like running bass. You get closer

438
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: to thirty goal can kind of fall off. I don't

439
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: know if that's true. You can speak to that, but

440
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 2: he ain't that old where I feel like I can't

441
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: afford to move on the goaltender of the future. The

442
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 2: danger is if he's an all timer, obviously, but depending

443
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: again on who you get. I think you mentioned this

444
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: to us last week. You don't really have that much

445
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: else to give up at this point, right that's the problem.

446
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: So it almost would have to include him to get

447
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 2: anybody's attention.

448
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 4: What was one would assume?

449
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 6: And then I think differently than these people are seeing

450
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 6: that when you get to thirty Goltender's goal, take a

451
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: look at I can go down so many golds. I'm

452
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 6: talking about Worthy Brodie, Yeah, yeah, he saw Chuck Well,

453
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 6: look at Brodure, Patrick Wall, Martin Fleury, you can go

454
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 6: on forever. Goltender seem to It's tougher for them to

455
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 6: come in because it's such a position, takes a lot

456
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: to learn, but they seem to last longer, and they're

457
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 6: not getting slow a foot because they don't have to

458
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 6: skate anywhere anyway, So that's not going to affect them

459
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 6: and their their reflexes. I think are just are basically

460
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 6: just as good. But they're lots smarter than that. So

461
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 6: don't I don't worry about a goaltender being thirty years

462
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 6: old or even thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, that's

463
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 6: not a problem.

464
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: You know, who becomes a backup? Don't you?

465
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 6: Who's that flower?

466
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 4: Flower comes out of retirement to finish the season? You

467
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: know what? I know he's waiting for it.

468
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but I was thinking that other teams are

469
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: going to treat the free agent as you know, yeah,

470
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 6: somebody you love to talk about Edmundton wanting them going

471
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 6: to Okay Edmond because they they think they're just the goldtender.

472
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 4: Away in Okay. We'll keep an eye on all of that.

473
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

474
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: A couple of people and I got these texts earlier,

475
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: people saying well, you can't include volstaid if it's a rental.

476
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: And I agree with that. Right the deal you may

477
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: to be more than a rental. You can't be willing

478
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: to me get rid of him unless if it's a

479
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 2: guy in the last year his contracts, a guy you

480
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: got to pretty much know you're going to be able

481
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: to keep.

482
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 6: That's why I said, you've got to get the guy

483
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 6: that you're going to be with you for three or

484
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 6: four because you can't just take a shot and this

485
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 6: year will and then you're done. No, it definitely cannot

486
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 6: be a rental. How about Jackie, It's got to be

487
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: a I don't and I'm saying not an older centerment neither.

488
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 6: It's got to be yeah, yeah, the guy the oldest.

489
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 6: He could be the late twenties, and someone's either got

490
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 6: a contract or they give you the right to talk

491
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 6: to him and get a contract done. But you can't

492
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 6: you can't get a rental.

493
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 4: How about for Jack Hughes.

494
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 6: I do that because I know you'd be able to

495
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 6: sign him in a heartbeat, because his brother's going to

496
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 6: be here as it is, and I have no doubt

497
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 6: in my mind that Quinn's going to sign here, and

498
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 6: and so I and by the way, I think it's

499
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: really an added benefit for the while that when it

500
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 6: brought if they play together in the Olympics, that's just

501
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 6: another six eight games they get to play together. At

502
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: a high level, which is just advantageous to those two

503
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 6: playing as a pair for the Wild.

504
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: So the we don't have very many games left right

505
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 4: now before the break. I mean, we're coming down to

506
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: it pretty pretty soon.

507
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: What give me your I guess sort of your if

508
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: you had to take the temperature of their team right now,

509
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: what would you say?

510
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 6: Oh? I like what I see. And by the way,

511
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 6: that was just a great game against the Florida team

512
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 6: that's playing extremely well right now. Florida's got to play hard.

513
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 6: They got most of the lines back. They're not going

514
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: to get Barkoff back, but other than that, they're playing

515
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 6: like a team that is capable of going a long

516
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: way in the Stenic Cup playoffs if they make the playoffs,

517
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 6: and I think they're going to make the playoffs because

518
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 6: they're healthy now, they got most of their guys back.

519
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 6: But I think that that was a good test. That

520
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: Wild didn't play as sharp as they could have five

521
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 6: and five. But I'm I'm feeling good about where the

522
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 6: Wild is sitting right now. You know, there the battle

523
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 6: is going to be It's going to be them in

524
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 6: Dallas two and three, who gets home ice and so

525
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 6: close right now and it's not and again, as I

526
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 6: said before, it's not as big a thing. I'd like

527
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 6: to see him get home ice, but I'm not concerned

528
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 6: about it. I just want them to be healthy because

529
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 6: if they're healthy, I really feel strongly that they're going

530
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 6: to be Dallas. I think they're right now when they're healthy,

531
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 6: that they're better than Dallas.

532
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: What happened on this date fifty four years ago?

533
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 6: What's the date today?

534
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: January twenty seventh.

535
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 6: I got three goals of the assistant we beat Montreal

536
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 6: six fives, I said.

537
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: Hatrick and an assist for Luigi again to lead the

538
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Stars to a six to five win at the four.

539
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 2: For god's sake, Montreal, man, it doesn't get you remember

540
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: it like yesterday?

541
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember it pretty well. Marvelis got three from

542
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 6: Montreal too, I believe.

543
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 4: Is that right?

544
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 6: And it was?

545
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: It was.

546
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 6: It was one of those games I thought I could

547
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 6: add five or six. They had a number of opportunities

548
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: and uh I was able to capitalize and a few

549
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 6: of them. But we played our line. It was Murray

550
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 6: Oliver and Dean prod play with. That's the one year

551
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 6: I played forward and our line was really good and

552
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 6: those two guys. They are good players. Boy, they you know.

553
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 6: I used to have a thing with Murray Oliver. Just

554
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 6: stay out of the corner where I my right, You

555
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: stay in front of that. And he was a smart

556
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 6: centerment boy. He got twenty five goals that year. I

557
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 6: got twenty one. You don't got twenty. We were the

558
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 6: yeah team.

559
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, well why why was? Why were you only a

560
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 4: forward one year then?

561
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 6: Because then he put me back to defense?

562
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: Were you bitter? Did you want to stay at forward?

563
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 4: You're okay as.

564
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 6: Long as I played.

565
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't care.

566
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 6: The first game I played for the North Stars was

567
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 6: in Saint Louis after the Olympics. My first night, but

568
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 6: my first shift was at center, and I come, you

569
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 6: know it was a defenseman comes from the Olympics. And

570
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 6: by the end of the night I had played all

571
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 6: five positions. I didn't play goal, but I played left defense,

572
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 6: right defense, right wing, left wing, and center.

573
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 4: That's pretty good. I was reminded.

574
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: I wish I could tell you I remembered this, but

575
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: we had a text or Mark who writes Louis, I

576
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: believe it was he thought I was fifty five years

577
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: ago today he was off by one year. That you

578
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 2: got your hat trick. I met you several times as

579
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: a kid at Coyle Press with my dad. He was

580
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: a book binder. We always remember how you stayed and

581
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: spoke with us, never seemed to be in a hurry

582
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: to leave.

583
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 4: Thank you for the wonderful memories. That's from Mark.

584
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 6: Well, that's really kind of and I worked for Cowell.

585
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 6: My first contract that I signed was very unique. No

586
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 6: one's ever done it before since. I signed a personal

587
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 6: service contract because it'll take me so long to get

588
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 6: an agreement with them, and they didn't want to pay

589
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: me the money I want. And I set out five

590
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 6: years some pro just because they wouldn't give me the

591
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 6: money I want. So I finally came up with this idea.

592
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 6: I was saying, Okay, I'll do a personal service and multiperson.

593
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 6: What do you mean, what are you going to do?

594
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 6: I says, I'll play hockey, of course, whether it's in

595
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 6: the majors or the miners. You got to pay me

596
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 6: for that, I said, but you don't have a hockey school.

597
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 6: I'll set it up for you and oversee it. I

598
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 6: will make every appearance that the players don't do. The players,

599
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 6: you know, I was getting asked to go somewhere and

600
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 6: they meet fifty dollars or seventy five dollars in those days,

601
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: and I said, I'll do every appearance for nothing that

602
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 6: they don't do. And finally, most importantly, you sell my

603
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 6: services in the summer that anybody you want, you keep

604
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 6: the money. Because I'd been selling for Irvy McKay in

605
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 6: the four years before that, and so they all my

606
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 6: services to Kylewyll Press, and kyw Woll Press had the

607
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 6: right to do the program The North Start, So I

608
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 6: sold all the ads and everything else in the programs

609
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 6: for Carlole Press and the North Stars as well.

610
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: I mispronounced it. That's what it is, Kyle Press. Okay, Drew, watch,

611
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: how the hell does does Louie remember all this stuff? Names, places, dates?

612
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 6: Well? I remember the hat trick because they had it

613
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 6: on TV when I was in Montreal the other night.

614
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: Oh is that right? Did they?

615
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 6: Yeah? And I knew I got a hat trick in Montreal,

616
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: and you know it was in January twenty seventh, but

617
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 6: they put up, they put it up, and I didn't

618
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 6: want to between us. I got to say, now, I

619
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 6: don't want to correct him at the time. Lapanther says,

620
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 6: do you realize twenty four years ago that you got

621
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 6: a hat trick in Montreal and want to assist? I said,

622
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 6: I know, I got a hat trick and one assist.

623
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 6: I didn't know it's in January twenty seventh. I didn't

624
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 6: want to tell him twenty four years ago. I was

625
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: he had have been in a hell of.

626
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: An that would have been a hell of a story, right.

627
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: But I didn't want to tell them it was fifty

628
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 6: years ago.

629
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: That's pretty good. That's really good.

630
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: A lot of good texts coming in. This is this

631
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't I didn't see this one coming. This is

632
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: Charlie and Mimidgi. What strategizing, if any, might the while

633
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: be doing already Regarding the coming expansion drafts new teams

634
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: by twenty thirty, is now too early to be hoarding,

635
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: slash not trading very good goalies in case we can't

636
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: protect two goalies in the first of those drafts.

637
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: Is that thinking too far ahead?

638
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's way too far ahead. I understand what can

639
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: happen to a club. Just look at the Stanley Cup

640
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: teams like Edmundon Ordlers, for instance, when they had foreign

641
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 6: a row and the Islanders. It's amazing how many interchangeables

642
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 6: were gone, but the core of states, so you're interchangeables,

643
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 6: many of them won't be gone by then anyway, you'll

644
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 6: have new ones. It's hard to strategize that.

645
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: Another one other text I had for you, Oh, this

646
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: is from a nine to five two guys I've all

647
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: said traded, Flurry comes back and gets Crosby traded in Minnesota.

648
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 6: Crosby is getting traded here. Look at Penguins right now.

649
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 6: They're the fifth hottest team in the league, and they

650
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: certainly look like they're going to be in the playoffs.

651
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 6: And Crosby, when you get to be a tremendous player,

652
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 6: unless you haven't won a Stanni Cup, you're going to

653
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 6: stay with this. That's you're with Because I said, the

654
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: only guys I never I would said never trade would

655
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 6: be the guys that I thought I was going to

656
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: keep in the organization when they were done. Anybody else,

657
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 6: if the price was right, you know, you'd have to

658
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 6: consider it. And I think you see a unique circumstance

659
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 6: like Bork. Ray Bork was bot forever right, and he's

660
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: a Hall of Famer and a fantastic player, but he'd

661
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: never won the Cup. So he was happy to go

662
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: to it makes sense, right, and he won the cup there.

663
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 6: So you know, the great players that haven't won a cup,

664
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 6: like David, You could see McDavid going, yes, somewhere, but

665
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: Crosby's already on a few cups and he's.

666
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 4: Not less likely.

667
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: In basketball, Kg's a good example what you're talking about.

668
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: You know, he never wanted here, and he because the

669
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: word is, he didn't want to go. They had to

670
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: sort of convince him. But again eventually he does get

671
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: convinced because all right, I'm not going to win a

672
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 2: title here, so let's go to a place you want

673
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 2: to talk. If he'd already won a title here, same thing,

674
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: probably or too, he might have been less likely or

675
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: less willing. I feeling that was not as necessary to

676
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: make that, to agree to that kind of deal.

677
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you were that kind of athlete, to your

678
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 6: top of your game, one of the better players in

679
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 6: the sport. Yeah, and you haven't won a cup, whether

680
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 6: it's in any sport, a trophy that signified you win

681
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 6: the world championship. It's got to be in your mind

682
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 6: because it's going to eat you forever. Yeah, you don't

683
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 6: do it if you get the opportunity where you think

684
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 6: you might go. They go.

685
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 4: On that note where big dinner tonight? Are you staying in?

686
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 6: Staying in tonight, just gonna watch the game. You got

687
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 6: the Hawks coming in and it's always fun to watch

688
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 6: a kid Badard, even though he's just a youngster. And

689
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 6: it's it's a little surprising to me. You've seen some

690
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 6: of the changes, like Joe Anson was just added to

691
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: the Swedish team. What you to expect because Carlson from

692
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 6: Nim's out and you know, the Canadian team, they took

693
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 6: a lot of static because Badar's not there yet and

694
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 6: he could have been before somewhere else. But they've got

695
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 6: a couple of guys Badard and Cawfield and the Canadian

696
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 6: team that they didn't didn't well the US for Caffield,

697
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 6: but Badard for the Canadian team. But they didn't get picked.

698
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 6: But they're still in. They're still in the hunt if

699
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 6: somebody gets injured. So it's interesting to see what happens

700
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 6: on the line.

701
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: Here one last text, I'm glad I was reminded of this.

702
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: Doctor Phil writes, will the new Netflix special on the

703
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty Gold medal team be kinder to Louise's character

704
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: than the motion picture was.

705
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 4: Have you seen it? Have you seen the Netflix one?

706
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: No?

707
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 6: It comes out January thirty. But of course I won't

708
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 6: be I'm not going to be in that. They didn't

709
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 6: need any what they wanted protagonists that they were sort

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 6: of aiming me to be. Plus, I wasn't a big

711
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 6: part of that that they got the right guys. I'm

712
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 6: I know, RUZIONI went, Mark Johnson and Craig went, and

713
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 6: it should be true.

714
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: I hope it's good.

715
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 6: I already never get told it would be good, because

716
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 6: how can you screw that story up? Yeah, you really can't.

717
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 6: You know.

718
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm hoping there's something new, you know, because you know,

719
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: you can find different things would be good, and that.

720
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 6: Would be good. I wish somebody would come up with

721
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 6: something new, but they have when you really look at it,

722
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 6: and it's tough to measure, of course, but there's never

723
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 6: been a better story in sports, No, not just talking

724
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 6: in sports. That so unusual for it to happen, and

725
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 6: you know, it's some people have told me they've seen

726
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 6: it twenty and fifty times.

727
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, never gets old for people. Well, you know, it

728
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: came up a couple of weeks ago, I was trying.

729
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: I was playing off of a piece written in an

730
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: online sports publication called The Ringer, And this was in

731
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: the wake of Indiana winning the College football Championship, obviously,

732
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: and the question on the table was for if it,

733
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 2: in terms of a not a career as a coach,

734
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: but a short stint, a short period of time, was

735
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: the coaching job that Kurt Signetti did at Indiana the

736
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 2: greatest coaching job of all time?

737
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 4: And it's unanswerable. I certainly would put it up there.

738
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: But the one, the other one I can't that I

739
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: immediately went to, was Herbie Brooks and the miracle team

740
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: that again was for a short period of time that's

741
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: even shorter than a two year run for Indiana, But

742
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: it's apples and oranges. I think it's it's a different

743
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 2: kind of team. But to me, that's the kind of

744
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: rarefied air we're talking about, that that we're talking about.

745
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 4: In both of those cases, you know, two.

746
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: Of the greatest coaching performances I think you can come

747
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: up with, And of course you were right front and

748
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 2: center for for all the Herbie things.

749
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 6: Well, there's so distinctive and that's a tremendous comparison. The

750
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 6: reason why, as you said, Herves is a shorter stint.

751
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 6: It was right, you know, three weeks were Tianity had

752
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 6: two years, and for him to make that kind of

753
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 6: change over that that short period in time for football

754
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 6: Sonish football is amazing. So they are both phenomenal and

755
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 6: they are both distinctive exactly. You know, situations that I

756
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 6: can't recall ever seeing the team in college football or

757
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 6: even pro football do it like that, and of course

758
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 6: never in hockey in that short period of time. That

759
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 6: was incredible.

760
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, outstanding, great conversation.

761
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: As always today, we always appreciate Kemp's contributions as sponsor

762
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: for this fine segment and we will we'll chat next week.

763
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 6: Thanks Louis, Thanks that NICs to be with you.

00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: six Tanner text message in day rate spot.

777
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 2: Chris Battle joined us in studio in between four and well,

778
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: I kind of cheated. I think we wrapped it up

779
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 2: with him about almost ten after five, close to it

780
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: could have kept him even longer. He ripped pretty much everybody,

781
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 2: although I think he followed up on his announcement and

782
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: decision to bow out of the race, making a very

783
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: big part of his conversation his abhorrence with what he

784
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: viewed as the ICE assault on the Twin Cities. Again,

785
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: this is not exactly a shrinking violet of a lefty.

786
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: This is an individual who, over the course of the

787
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 2: time with us confirmed once again that he doesn't have

788
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: a great deal of affection or belief in the current

789
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: governor of the state of Minnesota, that's for sure. But

790
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: his overarching view was legal and a belief that almost

791
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 2: everything that ICE has done is contrary the Constitution and

792
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: in many cases should be illegal, and that to go

793
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: away from what would be classified as targeted arrests is

794
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: the issue, and that he has been contacted. He has

795
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 2: been contacted by individuals who said they have been profiled

796
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: and they have been stopped, many of them, by the way,

797
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: at least some of them in law enforcement. But it'll

798
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: be podcastable later if you missed it. I recommend it.

799
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 2: He you know, he's he knows how to offer his position,

800
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 2: whether you agree or disagree with any or all points

801
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: that he indeed made. I do want to follow up,

802
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: and I meant to get to some of these numbers

803
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 2: with him to sort of amplify the point regarding how

804
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: the ice onslaught here has gone off the rails, and

805
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: you can I'd say these numbers indicate perhaps not just

806
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: here as well. I'm quoting from a Wall Street Journal

807
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: editorial that appeared today, and in the editorial they quote.

808
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 4: Let me see who's being quoted here in this case,

809
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 4: I think it was support of that oh in security.

810
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: Christy Nome, the Homeland Security Secretary, we have arrested over

811
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: ten thousand criminal illegal aliens who are killing Americans, hurting children,

812
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: and reigning terror in Minneapolis.

813
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 4: Overall.

814
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: Msnomes says, Immigration Customs enforcement have removed murderers pedophiles, rapists,

815
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: gang members, and terrorists. She told CBS that seventy percent

816
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: of them have committed her have charges against them on

817
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: violent crimes, and the editorial indicates that indeed this started

818
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 2: out that way. Regarding this sweep we're talking about around

819
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: the country, at the beginning of twenty twenty five, eighty

820
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: seven percent of ICE arrests were immigrants with either a

821
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: prior conviction or a criminal charge pending, according to ICE

822
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: data obtained by the Deportation Data Project, but the criminal's

823
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: share of apprehensions has declined as the months have gone on.

824
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: By October of twenty twenty five, the percentage of arrested

825
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: immigrants with a prior conviction or criminal change or criminal

826
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: charges should say, had fallen to fifty five percent, and

827
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: since October this is a key step. Since October, seventy

828
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 2: three percent taken into ICE custody had no criminal conviction

829
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: and only five percent had a violent criminal conviction. According

830
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: to a Cato Institute review of ICE data, many of

831
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: the criminal immigrants the administration counts among those in detention

832
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: or convicted criminals called from prisons. They mentioned that Tom

833
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: Holman objected to Minneapolis sanctuary city Poe because he said

834
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't letting the administration take prisoners into federal custody.

835
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 4: The governor, as we quoted.

836
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: With with Chris, disputes that in an op ed in

837
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. Another stat the Security Syracuse professor

838
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: Austin Kocher, who tracks official ICE data, finds that between

839
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 2: September twenty one, twenty twenty five, and January seven, twenty

840
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: twenty six, single day ICE detentions increased eleven thousand, two

841
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: hundred ninety six, but only nine hundred two of those

842
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: eleven thousand, three hundred were convicted criminals, two two hundred

843
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: and seventy three had pending criminal charges, and eight thousand,

844
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: one hundred twenty one were either were other immigrant violators.

845
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: ICE arrest have been trending upwards since January twenty twenty five,

846
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: but criminal arrests have plateaued.

847
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 4: That's the problem.

848
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 2: That's where it has gone off the rails, and it

849
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: goes back to the quota numbers that we've cited before,

850
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: and it's why I put folks that certainly I think

851
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: in my view many of them in this state have

852
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: rightly pushed back and have been suspicious and Chris laid

853
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 2: out the illegality of many of these stops the notion

854
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: that such a thing as a basically unqualified immunity. Chris

855
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: believes that might apply in in uh uh, but does

856
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: not apply in criminal courts in any way, shape or form.

857
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 2: And so for him, I think, even as a Republican,

858
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: he is bristling, and that's why ultimately he said he

859
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: had to bow out of the race because he can't

860
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: be He doesn't think in good conscience a party to

861
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: a party that nationally continues to go along with this

862
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 2: level of madness. He is optimistic that we may be

863
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: seeing a breakthrough, and he's also quite critical of the

864
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: Walls and Fries administrations on a number of fronts.

865
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 4: So that's kind of an overview.

866
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: But there's a lot more meat on the bone regarding

867
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: our discussion, and I highly recommend that if you missed it,

868
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 2: you do a podcast, perhaps later tonight or tomorrow when

869
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: you're on the treadmill, or whenever it works for you.

870
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: Let's pause and wrap up the program, remind you what

871
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 2: we might have coming up on tomorrow's show, and kind

872

879
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: ten plus people who didn't vote for Bill Belichick should

880
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: be exposed.

881
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 4: WTF. This is crazy. We're gonna have a witch hunt

882
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 4: on those voters. And I couldn't.

883
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 2: Feel any more strongly than I ever have that you

884
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: can hammer those voters, you can rip them, you can

885
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: criticize them, that's fair game. But the notion there's a

886
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: couple of people said these I think it might even

887
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: be Florio. Somebody said their votes should be taken away.

888
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 2: That's not how votes work. I don't understand why in

889
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: this culture we cannot respect, well, you don't even have

890
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 2: to respect the outcome, but respect the fact that that's

891
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: people have their votes, and the notion that they're their

892
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 2: votes must be revoked on who's authority.

893
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: If you are a voter, you are a voter.

894
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 2: It's it's extremely bizarre to me, and I will say

895
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: something pretty controversial, I think, and probably a minority opinion.

896
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm not offenders that he's not a first I'm not.

897
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: You can say it's a distinction without a difference because

898
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: he's going to get in. But I do the irony

899
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 2: is a lot of people all along the way, including

900
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: in my business, have said he got off too easy.

901
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 4: Belichick got out.

902
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a genius of a coach, but he got

903
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: off too easy on deflate gate, and he got off

904
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: too easy on spygate. Well if you believe that, can

905
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: you really be losing your mind? I mean, have you

906
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: just forgotten about it? Do you think it went away?

907
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't understand why. So it's a symbolic vote because

908
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 2: everybody knows he's going to get in. But I'm not

909
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: as offended because I remember what a lot of these

910
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: same people said.

911
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 4: Then, which was, well, there's that's in theory that's changed,

912
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 4: that's affecting.

913
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 2: The outcome of a game, to the extent that your

914
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 2: advantage that you felt you were gaining by doing what

915
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: you're doing, if you want to buy it, it did

916
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: give you more, even more of an advantage that you

917
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 2: already had.

918
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: With Tom Brady at the court as the quarterback.

919
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 2: So we'll probably spend some more time on it tomorrow

920
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: because I know most people are going to disagree, but.

921
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 4: This idea that take their votes away, that's what a

922
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 4: vote is. Man.

923
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: You can hate what that person's voting or what they represent,

924
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. But we were so fraudulent

925
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: on when we believe in the sanctity of a vote

926
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: and it's that person's opinion, and when we don't agree

927
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: with it, it's they got to go. They got to

928
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 2: get out of there. When L say, again, some of

929
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: these same people I heard from them, well where's Belichi,

930
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: where's his accountability on this thing? That is they ever

931
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: really been properly held accountable? And it's almost like they've

932
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: forgotten all of all of that as well. Again, it's

933
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: all symbolic, and you could say it's all silly to

934
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 2: the extent that clearly he's going to get in, But

935
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 2: I honestly think it has more to do with that

936
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 2: than it does with well, he didn't answer our question,

937
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: so we're going to say, bleep you.

938
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 4: I certainly hope that that would be more the case. Also,

939
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 4: I want to thank Luigi.

940
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: He joined between five thirty and six FALLNUS made a

941
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: rare appearance on the Bumper to Bumper program. A little

942
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: surprise hatched up by the substitute producer of the program

943
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 2: for the mini part of the Top five at five.

944
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 4: What times our coverage to start tonight Wild Blackhawks six

945
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 4: forty five, so we're all of a fifteen minute fan

946
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 4: on demand.

947
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 2: He claims it would be longer if they let it,

948
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: if they let him do a longer pregame. I'm not

949
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 2: sure I buy that. I think he loves the fact

950
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 2: that he only has to worry about a fifteen minute pregame.

951
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 4: What do you think, ab it's his fall guy. I

952
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 4: don't know.

953
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to say Falness loves more me so,

954
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 2: but yeah, yeah, that's true. Are we doing any How

955
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: long is the postgame to be? Is that change from

956
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 2: game to game or time slot to sime slot? How

957
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: does that work?

958
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 4: I don't know the exact time.

959
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: I can tell you it usually gets me when I

960
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: go to the game, usually gets me home by the

961
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: time it wraps up, So I don't know.

962
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 4: Half hour. Oh it's that long, give or take.

963
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, depending on if he's got a postgame where

964
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 3: if John Hines feels like talking very long sometimes he

965
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 3: just wants to get out of there.

966
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 4: I can't blame him. I can't either.

967
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: Most of you have already done the Lavell joke that

968
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: if you're to come to yeah level is one of

969
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: the ones who apparent who probably did not vote first

970
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: ballot for Bill Belichick. Has Belichick responded yet he won't?

971
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: Knowing him right?

972
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 4: I mean it's unlikely.

973
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: Well he's got is he still the still got North

974
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 3: Carolina responsibilities?

975
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 4: Or is that done.

976
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 6: Here?

977
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 4: I think yeah.

978
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: He once did the best nickname I've heard for Belichick.

979
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: I think it's the It's it's uh. Jason Gay, the

980
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal sports columnist, I think he calls Belichick

981
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: the crumpy lobster boat captain, which I love. It's actually,

982
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: I think, very very apt, and I'm guessing he, among

983
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: many others, will be weighing in on his outrage.

984
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 4: What are we gonna do? Is there any integrity left?

985
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: Well, again, I've wrestled with the whole spygate thing, but

986
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,919
Speaker 2: I just don't think you could leave it out when

987
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: back then there were a lot of people.

988
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 4: Saying, oh man, come on more heat. He's getting off

989
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 4: way too easy.

990
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 2: So I'm not exactly sure why people are losing their

991
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 2: minds now because, as I said, they have to know

992
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 2: deep down that event it's certainly gonna happen. Now, you

993
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 2: could say his record is so good that it transcends

994
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 2: that and that you have to find some other way

995
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 2: to register your annoyance with those particular instances.

996
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 3: I don't exactly know. He said the same thing about

997
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 3: bonds too. Yeah, eventually he's gonna get in and here

998
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,479
Speaker 3: we are. That's true, that's true. A little different. Twins

999
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: Ney do owners. I think A Rod and Mark Laurie

1000
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 3: should also buy them. I don't think they have the

1001
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 3: money to do that. I'm not sure that they do.

1002
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 3: Maybe if they put enough people together. Someone say A

1003
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 3: Rod still owns the Twins.

1004
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 2: Wow, that's vicious. That's that's very very cold. I had

1005
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: one other thing I was going to mention. Let's see

1006
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: what it was. Oh, the guest lineup the rest of

1007
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 2: the week. So I think we're gonna Mace. We're gonna

1008
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 2: give Mace the week off this week. Tomorrow, we do

1009
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 2: expect a visit. I'm hoping in studio with Kevin Seaffert

1010
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 2: to talk more at NFL Slash Fight. If I get

1011
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 2: his reaction to the Belichick News that's tomorrows. It's Wednesday, tomorrow, right,

1012
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 2: So Kessler will be with us tomorrow as well, and

1013
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: then we're working on a couple of other guests that

1014
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: are a section related. Will have several more throughout this week.

1015
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: As I mentioned at the top of this segment, good

1016
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 2: conversation with Chris Mattel that went well into the five

1017
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: o'clock hour. He joined in studio at four and he

1018
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: again talked about his decision to bow out of the

1019
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: race and kind of torched everybody quite frankly across the

1020
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: board politically depending on the subject. But I was most

1021
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: interested in his legal arguments regarding the ice policy.

1022
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 4: He does think it's well over the top.

1023
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: He says, that's why he couldn't align with the Republican

1024
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 2: Party nationally anymore, could look his daughter in the eye

1025
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 2: and do so when he became aware first hand of

1026
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: the racial profiling that's taken place from individuals that he

1027
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: knows quite well, that in some cases has been clients

1028
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 2: of his in the past, or people he has done

1029
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 2: work with or counsel with. So good it was a

1030
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 2: very good hour and change with him. He's not shy

1031
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 2: as most of you know and have learned one way

1032
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: or the other. So that'll all be available to you

1033
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: via our podcast services.

1034
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 3: Fan and the Man in the Air, as you mentioned,

1035
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 3: his next eighteen minutes of Deniggins with Cone.

1036
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I saw him come in.

1037
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 2: I actually helped him get in the in the building,

1038
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: and we'll re I guess we'll get this whole thing

1039
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 2: started again tomorrow three.

1040
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 4: We'll talk then the stories the stadium could tell
