17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: of all quiet on the Western front until the combine

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Dalut's beautiful, isn't it, did you you got down there

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: like Canal Park and all that.

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yeah we were. We were doing some

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: bar hopping on Saturday. So if you'd call on Saturday

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: would have been a tough one probably, but uh, yeah

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: it was. It was. It was a good time. I

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: enjoyed it.

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: And and this is kind of the short breath of

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: air for you you mentioned it. I mean, there there

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: aren't a lot of breaking news bits that I have

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: for you this morning. I do have some topics combine related,

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: team related, et cetera. We can find our way to

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: talking about Vikings football, but really this time of year,

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: in particular post super Bowl, pre combine, uh, save for

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: something that nobody would anticipate or expect. It's super chill

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: right now in the NFL front.

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, this has been a very much

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: needed reprieve, ref fresh, whatever you want to call it,

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: after what was obviously a very long season. I think

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 3: this is goes for everybody, not just journalists who act

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: like they work in the coal mine but really just

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: type on a computer all day. And I think people

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: internally too. I just think it was a really long year.

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you go back and think about the week four,

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: week five trip overseas and the amount of energy I

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: think that that took from everybody. So yeah, it's nice

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: to have a two week break. But the NFL is sharp.

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: They structure these things every off season to where there's

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: not that much breathing room because it keeps the NFL

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: in the psyche of everyone. And that is what this

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: league has done as well as any other in all

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: of sports, is they have mastered how to maintain the

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: radio space in terms of this league. So the combine

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: and free agency, then the draft, it's not slowing down

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: really anytime soon.

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: How much How much do you enjoy or maybe we'll

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: start with this, how productive is your combine experience?

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: Because you know, I've seen it.

59
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: On the radio side, we have really really fun shows,

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: but sometimes it kind of looks more just like a

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: party as much as more so than anything else. We

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: never even get into to watch the players of the

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: athletes themselves going through the various drills and tests. We're

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: just connecting with people trying to fill radio shows. And

65
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot more much, you say, recreational activities and

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: gatherings than there would be necessarily people getting down to business.

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: But for you who cover the team.

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: How productive of a week in Indianapolis is it typically

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: for you?

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, I mean one of the most

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: productive weeks of the year, certainly, and I mean for

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: someone like me who has only been covering this league

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: now for four seasons. As much as anything, it's a

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: chance to meet people. It's a chance to connect with

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: people that you've met via phone call or text in person.

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: And I mean, just to kind of, I guess, explain

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: it a little bit. I mean, you have the entire

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: NFL world in a span of five blocks at different hotels,

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: and that is executives of teams, that is agents, that

80
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: is I mean literally anybody and everybody referee. I mean

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: you see everybody head, coaches, coordinators, and so I mean

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: what most of the days look like is just a

83
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: weaving back and forth between different hotels and working in

84
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 3: some capacity to catch up with people that that you

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: get to see typically in person once a year. And

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: there's reporters there too. So it's yeah, it is such

87
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: a productive week. It is one of my favorite weeks.

88
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: It is definitely an exhausting one given some of the

89
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: late nights, but I am covering this league. Part of

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: the you know, the opportunity get to talk to people

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: about I mean, A their experiences and b the way

92
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: they view the landscape of the league in the year

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. It's a blast. And then obviously there's

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: the so what are the vikings going to do? What

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: are their plans? All of that component to it. It's

96
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: fascinating and even more interesting when you have now it's

97
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: some major questions to be answered in a different structure

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: in place leadership wise to answer them.

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other cool thing after so you're taking it

100
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 2: from the standpoint of what you do for a living,

101
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: which is incredibly productive, which is.

102
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: Why I kind of I put that out there for you.

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: But then on the radio side, just to give you

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: a peek into things, there's always this other right like

105
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: Indianapolis maybe other than Vegas is like the most built

106
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: for convention city that I've seen, and they have the.

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 4: Entire combine going on.

108
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned the NFL universe, and then there's just like

109
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 2: some video excuse me, like board game convention and thirty

110
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: yards away that like chart disappears for thirty six hours

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: into like it's it's crazy how much is going on

112
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: in that space, and it doesn't always feel that way.

113
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it is funny because in the in the

114
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: ballroom where or the ballroom the convention center, excuse me,

115
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: where a lot of the radio row is. You're exactly right,

116
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: like you will have like a business executive meeting over

117
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: like like in one ballroom, and then you weave in

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: the other one and you got Nick Sirianni walking with

119
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: Big Dom and you're like, all right, that's kind of

120
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: how it goes. And you then you walk ten ten

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: ten paces one way and there's Drew Rosenhaus talking to

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: you know, ex client, and then you go this way

123
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: and there's Roger Goodell talking to Molly McGraths. I mean,

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: it literally is a it's silly in that in that vein.

125
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: And you know, me, Nordo, like I, as much as

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: I take this all very serious, there is a part

127
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: of me that just sees that scene and just is

128
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: like chuckling a little bit internally of the absurdity at

129
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: which it is. But you know, you've got some reporters

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: and this is either a fur this is probably a

131
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: further peak behind the curtain, but you've got some reporters

132
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: who like what they do is they will set up

133
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: shop in a Starbucks in the middle of one of

134
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: the hotels and they just sit there for ten hours,

135
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: stopping people all day. Then you've got other reporters who

136
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: you see scurrying back and forth. I mean, my feed

137
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: end up hurting by the end of it because of

138
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: the amount of walking that you do. So yeah, it's

139
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: it is like it is a once in a kind

140
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: of situation for for how this job goes. But wouldn't

141
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: have it any other way. I mean, you got multiple

142
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: dinners scheduled, you go from here to there. You're not eating,

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: are you eating? I mean it is yeah, there, it's

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty indescribable. And I will tell you this,

145
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: and I hope my editor's not listening. Like I have

146
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: never been inside Lucas Oil Stadium to see a fourty

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: yard dat. I have no idea. It is just a

148
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: it is. It is a work social uh opportunity, and

149
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: that is how I treat it. And yeah, the the

150
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: bench press reps, I'm gonna get those on the number

151
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: online later.

152
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll they'll give you a copy of it and

153
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: they'll you can read all that at a different time

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: with the Vikings contingent.

155
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: Since you began covering the league.

156
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: Uh, it's gonna look a little bit differently this time

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: without uh, without Quasi in the mix. Rob Brazinsky kind

158
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: of head manning things. Uh, you know Matt Thomas now

159
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: part of the mix. What do you think this group

160
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: or you know how much you know sifting through just

161
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: what that functionally is going to look like moving forward

162
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: as soon as next week in Indy.

163
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'll say this, like typically hit the combine

164
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: you have in the last few years for me, like

165
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: you rarely see Rob Razinsky And part of the reason

166
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: why is he has been one of the primary communicators

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: with agents and representatives to kind of established some of

168
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: the lay of the land for what's going to happen

169
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: in free agency. So while you know, whether Rob speaks

170
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: to the media or whether he doesn't, I imagine his

171
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: role within it won't change much other than probably leading

172
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 3: the staff in conversations to kind of target their plan

173
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: throughout the course of these next few months. I'm glad

174
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: you brought up Matt Thomas because I was speaking to

175
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: somebody in the league last week and they made it

176
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: pretty clear to me they're like, do not kind of

177
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: wave that one away in terms of the meaning behind

178
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: adding him this long time salary CAP with with Seattle

179
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: as a consultant to help out with the Viking staff.

180
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: And the reason that person said that was one just

181
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: a positive review of Matt's work, but it was also

182
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: having someone like that working in tandem with Emily Battis,

183
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: who also works with the CAP and has worked with

184
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: Roberzenski closely over the years, will allow Robresenci rosent excuse me,

185
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: to really take kind of a global leadership view with

186
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: you know, organizing this entire team and how they want

187
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: to approach it, and it allows him to have someone

188
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: he trusts working within the space that he knows best.

189
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 3: So I thought that was interesting from from someone, I mean,

190
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: who would know these things to say something like that,

191
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: And I I will just be very curious to hear

192
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: how they talk about what the last few few weeks

193
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: have been like. Yeah, and just to kind of hear

194
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: the vision from everybody. It's gonna be It's gonna be

195
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: interesting and I'm I'm looking forward to it.

196
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had I had asked a couple of people.

197
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: And I just not being as as close and as

198
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: plugged in as you are, I just ask the people

199
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: that I know, and they kind of made it sound

200
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: with with Matt Thomas in his time. I was just

201
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: kind of curious because I kind of painted I think

202
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: I painted this picture with you a week ago or

203
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: so when we chatted about a couple of Fridays ago,

204
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: just kind of the idea of, you know, can he

205
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,119
Speaker 2: bring a little magic from John Schneider, uh, the Seahawks

206
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: GM and just what they've done over there obviously hoisting

207
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: the Lombardi and bring.

208
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 4: Some of that to Minnesota.

209
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: And you know, what I had heard is just he's

210
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: kind of like he was so much like the Brazinski

211
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: and the fact that I don't really have a lot

212
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: to say with that, Like I just know the finished

213
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: product was always good, but he was never front and

214
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: center on anything and just kind of back in a

215
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: room with an abacus and a ten key, just hammering

216
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: out deals and and just being a cap wizard. And

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: that certainly sounds like a stabilizing force here now with

218
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: with some things and flux.

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what I would say is even with Rob Razinsky,

220
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: like one of the perceptions I think that has been

221
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: built about Rob over the last X amount of decades.

222
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you just here when you say about Rob

223
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: Berzenski or you read about them, it's catwiz tact expert.

224
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: And so that picture that you kind of or listeners

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: probably conjure in their mind is like this, you know,

226
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: to your point, like you're in, you know, a person

227
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: on the computer crunching numbers all day. But so much

228
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: of what that job actually entails is negotiating with these

229
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: major ego, high profile agents who are vouching for their clients.

230
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: And to do that in an optimal way that garner's

231
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: respect both in the building and throughout the league. You

232
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: have to have a level of personal feel, you have

233
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: to have a level of just awareness within a negotiation.

234
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: And I think sometimes in the context of how Rob

235
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: Brazinski is perceived, like as much as anything else, my

236
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: impression over the last four years is he has a

237
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: really really good personal relational feel that would sometimes almost

238
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: masked the sharpness that he has with some of the numbers,

239
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: and and and and both from a cap and and

240
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: negotiating perspective. But I've had Norda over the last couple

241
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: of weeks talk to people who have negotiated with Rob

242
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: Razenski in the level of respect that some of these

243
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: agents have for how he's approached some of those situations

244
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: that are often very tense and very high pressure. I

245
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: do think are are interesting to know and revelatory in

246
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: terms of how Rob has obviously had the twenty seven

247
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: year staying power with this organization.

248
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: Alec Lewis is the athletic at Alec underscore Lewis via X.

249
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: You know, Quasi, do you think he catches on with

250
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: an organization this season or does he just chill for

251
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: a bit.

252
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely think it's possible he does. He has

253
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: really close ties throughout the league. The two buildings that

254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: he obviously has the closest ties with are San Francisco

255
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: and Cleveland. So I think you know, any of those

256
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: organizations that want a pretty I don't know, detailed you know,

257
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: understanding of to to San Francisco like U of how

258
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: an NFC foe is operating and viewed. Things like that

259
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: to me would make sense. I would say I doubt

260
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: Quasy rushes into anything. He is obviously someone who wants

261
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: to allocate the time with his family that he does,

262
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: so it'll be interesting to see. Like I would be stunned,

263
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: Ordo if I'm at the combine and quasi's there just

264
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: bouncing around. But if over the course of time he

265
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: does land with with an organization in a similar role

266
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: that he's had in the past of you know, going

267
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: through things quantitatively and being a sounding board. Having obviously

268
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: sat in his seat now, wouldn't surprise me at all.

269
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: I just why, I mean, the way that it's been

270
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: written and reported on you can tell me just and

271
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm just curious the just how much this stings versus

272
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: how much he kind of felt like he knew it

273
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: was coming.

274
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: Like I feel like in jobs, you have.

275
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: A certain amount of self awareness where you know, man,

276
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: this this thing ain't going the right way, and just

277
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: kind of where his headspace is he gets he interviewed

278
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: for the job, a team gave him the opportunity. He

279
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: doesn't have to apologize for anybody in terms of connecting

280
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: with a franchise and getting the opportunity to prove that

281
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: he belongs in the spot. It didn't go well, and

282
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: now he's he's he's going elsewhere. I just I can't

283
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: see him, you know, leaving the NFL. That seems preposterous

284
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: to me. He absolutely could be a value in some

285
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: aspect of the organization if if certainly not a general manager.

286
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to the to the initial point there

287
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: in conversation. I mean, like in all of my discussions

288
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: with him over the course last four years, he never

289
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: hid behind the reality that this is a i mean

290
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: big time business with you know, driven by results, and

291
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: if those results aren't met, then there is accountability for that.

292
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: So like, I don't think he would have been blindsided

293
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: at all by anything other than just returning from the

294
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl and the timing after that. But yeah, I

295
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: the only reason for me that he would leave the

296
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: NFL would be if he had interest in doing something else.

297
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: And I mean, you know, and have read about him

298
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: in the past, like he is a guy with different interests.

299
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: I think so much of his life and kind of

300
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: his ethos is like he's not gonna be defined by

301
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: the NFL. He's gonna like do the defining himself, and

302
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: the NFL is a major part of what he loved

303
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: and wanted to do. And so I I, yeah, I

304
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: would imagine there would be enough self awareness there to

305
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: understand that after a season that was built to you know,

306
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: go further and deeper than a season that ended the

307
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: way you know that that it did that he would

308
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: understand the ramifications of that. And uh, and yeah, I

309
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: mean that's that's that's the game you play when you're

310
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: a general manager a head coach in the NFL. I mean,

311
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's always a nice agee given the amount

312
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 3: of pressure and stakes that you're under, which is why

313
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 3: you get paid the amount that you do.

314
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're we're chilling here in a in purgatory between

315
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: the super Bowl and the combine, as we mentioned, and

316
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: just kind of a nice breath, if only for a

317
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: week or two before the combine and free agency, et cetera.

318
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: Have you uh you know, maybe you have like this

319
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: whiteboard in your house and you just kind of put,

320
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: you know, all of your ideas up there. We got

321
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: or maybe it's thumb tacks with strings attached, a beautiful

322
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: mind style code breaking the whole thing.

323
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

324
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: When when you put into perspective what's next for the

325
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: purple uh levers being pulled contractually to get under the cap.

326
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: This quarterback conversation has my head spinning. Where where do

327
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: you potentially put in your head like this is this

328
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: is going to be the time for this to start happening.

329
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 4: It's usually combine week.

330
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I mean it's my understanding the

331
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: last couple weeks of Viking have done a pretty deep

332
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: dive on kind of plans and just approach that they're

333
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 3: going to take over the next few weeks. The combine

334
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 3: starts really on Sunday of next week of this upcoming weekend,

335
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: and then you know, the legal tampering period that they

336
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: call it begins March ninth, so and there are a

337
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: lot of players whose contracts have escalators and certain guarantees

338
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: that come to fruition kind of in early March, mid March,

339
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: So this next period is definitely where I expect the

340
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: flurry of activity as far as the whiteboard. I mean, yeah,

341
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: I my mind is majorly focused on the quarterback conversation,

342
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: understandably probably from your standpoint, and it is. I mean,

343
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: it's a really fascinating one. It's been one that I've

344
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: talked to a lot of people in the league about

345
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks. So it's just gonna

346
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: be itsering to see how the Vikings approach it, how

347
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: that looks, what you know, what plans and target they

348
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: take in trying to make that happen. But yeah, I'd

349
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: expect there you know, the Vikings are supposed to be

350
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: about forty million over the cap. They're gonna have to

351
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 3: do a lot of work to get under that and

352
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: to create space. It's not it's not crazy hampering because

353
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: of the amount of levers they can pull, but the

354
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: quarterback and how and the cost there is obviously going

355
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: to play a major role in what's possible.

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I frankly, I wasn't.

357
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: That was one thing that I wasn't necessarily going to

358
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: go down the road because, frankly, and maybe you feel differently,

359
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: this is one of the first times where I really

360
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: don't have a bead on what they're able to do.

361
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it's quasy out of the mix and now

362
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: Rob and just kind of how they're going, you know,

363
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: are they giving him an empowered him the decision making

364
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: side of things to potentially make this massive future leveraging move.

365
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: How much do they.

366
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Do truly believe in JJ McCarthy, because I mean I'm

367
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: watching insiders thrown out. You know it's like, oh, well,

368
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, he'd be a great fit. I don't think so.

369
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: But then you think about the ramifications if it was

370
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: a Kyler or another individual that how much of a

371
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 2: competition would it be for McCarthy And then you hear

372
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: you know, Derek Carr might unretire or hey, Carson Wentz

373
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: is going to be fully healthy by week one. Well,

374
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily raise the level of the quarterback room.

375
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: Like there's this massive spectrum alec in terms of what

376
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: they could do, and once something happens then that case,

377
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: it's almost like you get the whole story in one move,

378
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: and I'm just a little bit impatient about it. So

379
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: I cannot freaking wait for really that legal tampering period

380
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: and such, because I just don't have a bead on it.

381
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: Within again, this broad area of different decisions that mean

382
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: different things for the future of JJ for this team.

383
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I it's funny. Someone asked me like a couple

384
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, like, so, You're gonna do a story

385
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: on Kyler Murray. I was like, why would I? I'm

386
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: not the Arizona Cardinals beat writer. I don't know what

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: am I What am I gonna Like? If Kyler Murray

388
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: ends up here for some reason or another, like that

389
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 3: would be uh, you know, I'd probably do a story

390
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: because he'd be a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. And

391
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: that's how that would work. And I would say, you know,

392
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: to your point, yeah, it's not easy to get a

393
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: beat on it. I think part of that is because

394
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: of the ramifications of all of these moves, and I

395
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: say it also because of the the amount of teams

396
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 3: in the NFL right now that have quarterback uncertainty. So

397
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, it's hard to figure out which

398
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: person is gonna land in your musical chair because really

399
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: the musical chairs haven't haven't begun, and all of these

400
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: quarterbacks have representatives that are gonna want to position their

401
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: client the right way. What I would say is this

402
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: talking to people like there is still, even after this

403
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five season, a really like big reverence for

404
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: the situation that this is when I'm talking Kevin O'Connell

405
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: as the as the head coach and play caller, talking

406
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison as past catchers. So so that

407
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: is one thing that has stood out from conversations with

408
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: people I've had, is like, there is definitely going to

409
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: be a jockeing for, you know, from from representation to

410
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: try to get their person here, which also obviously clouds

411
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: who it's gonna be But yeah, it's you know, more

412
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: than anything else, the person that does land up in

413
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: land in this seat and who that person is and

414
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: what that contract looks like is going to say with action.

415
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: I think almost everything that you need to know about

416
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 3: where Kevin O'Connell and this Vikings team views JJ McCarthy

417
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: is for the president of the future. That's that's kind

418
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 3: of a takeaway that I have after some conversations leading

419
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 3: into this thing.

420
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so heavy.

421
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: And then after that, so that's gonna pop and probably

422
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: sooner than later, at least in terms of post combine

423
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: free agency area, pre draft, and then you just have

424
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 2: to go and ace the draft.

425
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: You just have to go do that. So fix the quarterback,

426
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: ace the draft.

427
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Uh, Rob Razinski can just you can clap his hands

428
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: together say good work. And then and then I guess

429
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: they're gonna go hire somebody else to manage all of

430
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: it and take the onus of it.

431
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think it doesn't have to necessarily be somebody else,

432
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: That's what i'd say. I mean, Rob Brazinsky is leading

433
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: this thing in the interim, and if he has interest

434
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: in doing this job that to my understanding, he's never

435
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: really thought from a power standpoint, then I would expect

436
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: his name to definitely figure into the mix. But I mean, yeah,

437
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: the funny thing for me is, and we've talked about

438
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 3: this already, Nordo, like, if if you are judged on

439
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: free agency in the draft, you know, two months after

440
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: free agency and in the weeks after a draft like that,

441
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: it's an impossible judgment zone because if you recall last

442
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: spring the moves that the Vikings made to sign Ryan Kelly,

443
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: will Fries, Javon Hargate, Johnathan Allen, you would have probably

444
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: given the Vikings front office in a for that without

445
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 3: seeing how things played out. So yeah, it's it's, it's

446
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: it's it's an interesting period that is going to take

447
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: years probably to evaluate. I know in this era we

448
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: don't have that amount of time and and and people

449
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: aren't given that amount of time from a judgment perspective,

450
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: But again, just to kind of broadly look at it,

451
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: like how they try to answer the confluence of questions

452
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: that exists right now is going to be fascinating to me.

453
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: I also will say this, and I'm rambling, but I

454
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: think there's a almost like an inclination from Vikings fans

455
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: frustrated after twenty twenty five to sit here and be like,

456
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: you know, why would I you know, why would I

457
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: really pay that much attention? I'm frustrated, et cetera. Like,

458
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 3: maybe I'm naive, but I don't think the path to

459
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: having a really competitive team is that crazy far off.

460
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: If you get mid level quarterback play, if you improve

461
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: the run game even further, which is part of the

462
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: reason they've added some of the staff that they have,

463
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: and then if the defense can can can sustain, like,

464
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 3: you can definitely see a path to a ten win

465
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: team against an easier schedule, and then who knows once

466
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: you get in the deck dance. So I know people

467
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: want the Super Bowl. I totally understand that, but I do,

468
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: you know, for people to think like this team is

469
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: all of a sudden now a four and thirteen team,

470
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: given what's happened, I think that's a little, probably overly

471
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: negative of a view. And maybe that's me being too

472
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: optimistic and Rosie and I've got some time to think

473
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: about it, but that's I do want to say that

474
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: because I do think there is a very clear path

475
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: as long as the Ray moves are made.

476
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: I can see that path too. It's but it's difficult

477
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: to have that perspective at times. We are an emotional people, Alec.

478
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: We are fans, and we want that Lombardi, very very

479
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: very last thing for you, and I appreciate your time,

480
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not pitying you as as a legal expert here,

481
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: but other than the idea that he could receive a

482
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: more impartial outcome, anything interesting about the Flores lawsuit being

483
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: sent to court versus an arbitrator. I don't mean to

484
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: hit you with that again. I know you didn't go

485
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: to law school. It's just just as that thing we

486
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: never hear, we haven't heard anything about it. It feels

487
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: like in eighteen months and suddenly you get that to

488
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: pop so that it sounds like at least that that's

489
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: advancing and maybe has a solution somewhere near the horizon.

490
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't you know, Fame that I'm

491
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: an expert on the subject or the process that has

492
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: led to the ruling that obviously surface Friday. What I

493
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: would say is it will be interesting to kind of

494
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 3: ascertain what comes out of that if if there is,

495
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, some some information that does surface publicly. And

496
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: what I would also say is I've seen a lot

497
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 3: in the ether a little bit about like, well, uh,

498
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: you know with this lawsuit that is this this the

499
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 3: presence of this lawsuit is the reason that Brian Floores

500
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: is not a head coach. And I would say, you know,

501
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: the head coaching candidacy is a broad It might be

502
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: a factor, but it is a broad evaluation based upon

503
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: a lot of different factors. And to think that it's

504
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: just a one for one because Brian Flores has this lawsuit,

505
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 3: he's not gonna be a head coach. I I I

506
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 3: know this might sound generous to owners, but I would

507
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 3: say there there are other facts there. There is a

508
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: lot of factors that play that that would also you know,

509
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: influence why certain people are hired and not. So that's

510
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 3: that's what I'd say with that, with that conversation. But

511
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: it will be it to follow the lawsuits, certainly, especially

512
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: if there is more revelation publicly.

513
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: You're the best man.

514
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: Thanks for spending some time with me on a Monday,

515
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: and enjoy the combine. We'll certainly try to catch up

516
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,840

517
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: Man.

518
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: Thanks for what you do.

Speaker 3: Absolutely, thank you. In order of you guys, enjoy the weather.

520
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,080

00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: time of year. So I'm gonna join it. Thanks for

522
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: having me appreciate it.

523
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: See it later as Alec Lewis of the Athletic at

524
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: Alec underscore Lewis via X and we'll continue. Well, I

525
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: got some text messages I want to hit on here,

526
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: and I got a couple assistant producers here on a

527
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: President's Day where we might check in with them. I'll

528
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: just say that we might check in with them. Next

529
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: segment here the women's hockey women and the Americans in Sweden,

530
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: USA up one nothing just a minute and a half

531
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: into the second period in Milan's We'll continue to follow

532
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: that live hockey on a Monday, and.

533
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: We're loving it right here on the fan.

534
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: If you want to chime to what's happening to your

535
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: favorite kfan shows, you can make your voice heard on

536
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: the Brad Shawn Bryant Kfan text line. So let's note

537
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: you've said by texting your messages six four six eighty six.

538
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: That's six four six eight six standard text messages. Darius play,

539
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: what do you think Brett too close for comfort?

540
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: It's only one nothing here, second period surely they'll they'll

541
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 4: find one eventually. Here, there's got to be the Avalanche.

542
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: They outshot him. They outshot him for thirteen to two.

543
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

544
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: I think in the in the first period, Sweden's kind

545
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: of on a rush right now? Though, Uh oh on me? Okay,

546
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: oh nice? I mean the blue Liners here Barnes, I

547
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: think it's uh, let me see here to verify. Caleb

548
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: Barnes was the goal scorer least deckline and Kelly panic

549
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: with the assists where panicings deckline both Gophers at one

550
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: point in time.

551
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: Pretty sure they're both on the frost.

552
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: I'm showing my super novice college hockey intellect in this

553
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: moment to the text message machine. Kind of back during

554
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: the Ryan Carter conversation, how much is the frustration Brett

555
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: about the playoff system in the NHL? Every time we

556
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: discuss it feels like nine to noon. I see those

557
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: text messages. In terms of changing the format, Why are

558
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: we going to potentially get bounced in the first round

559
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: by playing a team that otherwise we wouldn't see until

560
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: the second or third round.

561
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: How hot is that it? Most?

562
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: I would say like ninety percent of hockey fans agree.

563
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: The only reason that Bettman likes this. The commissioner likes

564
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: this format is it builds rivalries. So if you play

565
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: the Stars in the first round every year, it'll build

566
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: a rivalry. But it's not competitively fair. If if the

567
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: playoffs started today, the Wild would be in a series

568
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: with Seattle, would be their first round matchup the Seattle Kraken.

569
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I will take that one hundred times out of one

570
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: hundred over because the Wild are the second best team

571
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: in the West behind the Abs. So and then you

572
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: got Dallas and Edmonton, and then the four or five

573
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: would be Vegas in Utah. That to me is more

574
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: balanced of a playoff than well, good luck against Dallas

575
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: in the first round in Colorado on the second round

576
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: and if you get out of that, maybe you'll see McDavid.

577
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: So then and then if it was down to four

578
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: and let's say favorites win, then Wild would face Dallas

579
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: and the ABS would face Vegas.

580
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that makes more sense. I know.

581
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why they did, and that's how it

582
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: was for years, that's how and for whatever reason they

583
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: changed it, then no one's really been a fan of

584
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: it since.

585
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm worried about this. I had because it's

586
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: Presidents Day, Brett. No school for the children today. I

587
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: didn't bring the baby, the best. I didn't bring the baby,

588
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: but I did bring Ava and Stella in And because

589
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: it's President's Day, they wanted to find some cool President's

590
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: Day facts.

591
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 5: And they like it.

592
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: They get to see Uncle Paul when they come in

593
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: here once in a while. Uncle Paul's not in the

594
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: mix today, but maybe they get the chance to hear

595
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: themselves on the radios.

596
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: We've done liners and bits in the past, but this is.

597
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: The first time that I have my daughter's Ava and

598
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: Stella in studio.

599
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: And uh, okay, we're gonna try this. We're gonna see

600
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 4: how it goes.

601
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: I've been told they have some cool President's Day facts.

602
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 2: Can you help with their microphones?

603
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 5: Please? All right?

604
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: Perfect? Good morning Stella.

605
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 6: Good morning Dad.

Speaker 2: How are you doing good? Are you enjoying your time

Speaker 6: It's fun?

Speaker 2: you have in front of you right now.

624
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: Well, this one's a little bit weird.

625
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 7: Aresident Millard Fillmore fell in love with his teacher, Abigail Powers,

626
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 7: and he married her.

627
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 4: Hold On, Millard Fillmore. Millard Fillmore married his teacher. Yep,

628
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: I wanted to know we were going in. I didn't know

629
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 4: we were going here with the facts, Okay.

630
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: Millard Fillmore fell in love with his teacher, Yeah, and

631
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: would ultimately marry her.

632
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: Now he did, do we know? If do we know?

633
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 4: He didn't marry her when he was still a student, right?

634
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 6: I hope not.

635
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 4: I mean I didn't.

636
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: It was the eighteen hundreds.

637
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: I didn't mean to know.

638
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to put you on the spots. I

639
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: appreciate that, all right, Ava.

640
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 6: Okay, so this is a funny one.

00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 7: It's President Franklin Deleno Roosevelt FDR.

642
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: Yes, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

643
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, it says.

644
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 7: During the December nineteen forty one White House visit, FDR

645
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 7: reportedly entered Winston Churchill's room to discuss the United Nations concept,

646
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 7: only to find the Prime Minister naked, fresh from his bath.

647
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 7: The famous anecdote highlights their class wartime relationship, the Churchill

648
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 7: supposedly quipping, the Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing

649
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 7: to conceal from the President of the United States.

650
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 4: So FDR saw on naked Winston. Yeah, unbelievable. We shall

651
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 4: fight on the beaches.

652
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: As soon as I get some pants on. That's that's incredible.

Speaker 2: What an awesome fact, Dave, all right, So we got Miller.

654
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,080

00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: that was named after Miller Fillmore.

656
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'll have to look that up. Stelle,

00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 7: chronically ill wife. It up and he was the first

664

Speaker 4: and then we got a break.

672
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm doing President Harry S. Truman.

673
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 7: Okay, the S in his tame doesn't stand for anything.

674
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 7: A compromise between grandfathers Anderson Ship Truman and Solomon Young

675
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 7: President HARRYETS. Truman was famous for starting his mornings with

676
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 7: the shot of bourbon, specifically Old Granddad or wild Turkey,

677
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 7: and then I have one really good one. In December

678
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 7: nineteen fifty, Harry S. Truman sent a scathing handwritten letter

679
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 7: to Washington Post music critic Paul Hume. They're ending him

680
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 7: with physical violence for a poor review of his daughter's

681
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 7: Margaret's singing performance.

682
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

683
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 7: Truman calls Hume an eight ulcer man on for ulcer

684
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 7: play and wrote that if they met, Hume would need

685
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 7: a new nose and beefsteak for black eyes.

686
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,800

758
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: we're looking at right now. I'm looking at both the

759
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: Kachucks taking in the women's game against Sweden, not as

760
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: explosive as they usually are, but they're still up to nothing,

761
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: out shooting the Swedes significantly. So good stuff from the

762
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: hockey teams. But did you see the curling controversy from

763
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: this weekend? The is it the double touch bit?

764
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 4: The touch bit?

765
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: Yeah?

766
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I so the whole interaction has gone viral with many

767
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: words that your two daughters should never use.

768
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 4: Right between the Canadians and the Swedes, where the.

769
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: Sweetpas said, I saw you cheat, I'll show you the tape,

770
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: and then so the Canadians counter to that was bleep you,

771
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: which is not a very good counter to cheating accusations.

772
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 2: Actually in a way, now that now that it's over,

773
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: I mean, what can he say? I mean, it's undeniable.

774
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Zeppruder like film that we've used,

775
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 2: the close up of his.

776
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 4: Pointer finger is touching the stone? Correct? Yeah?

777
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: Well I think that he just is. He isn't allowed

778
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 2: to touch that portion of the stone. And I don't

779
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: have the rule book in front of me.

780
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: I think you can only use the handle to manipulate

781
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: the stone, and once it's gone, it's gone.

782
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 4: Once it's gone, it's gone.

783
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: And so my knowledge of curling outside of watching the

784
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 2: unbelievable run by mister Schuster and everybody involved some years

785
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: ago at twenty eighteen Olympics, and then watching it casually

786
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: every four years.

787
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 4: During the Olympics.

788
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: Sense, so that's a total of three renditions or incarnations

789
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: of it. I go to Crooked Pint down in Chaska,

790
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: and I see people curling because you have the curling

791
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 2: club there, which is cool. But I'm more concerned about

792
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: the pints than I am about the curling and the

793
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: stones and the double touching. So I did see the

794
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: controversy there. It is kind of fun, I mean, in

795
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: some ways, and this will sound like people joke about

796
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: curling because you picture that that's a game that would

797
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: not require immense physical skill or athleticism to do right.

798
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 4: You've seen those jokes. Just kind of the casual nature

799
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 4: of it.

800
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: This does. This feud does feel like a couple of

801
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: guys arguing over a game a pool at a bar.

802
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: It does feel a little bit like that. So, but

803
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: but that's really I don't I don't have anything else

804
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: on that. I mean, it's that he touched the freak.

805
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 2: He clearly did, yeah, but he had just no response

806
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: to it besides to it.

807
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, it's drama in the Olympics curling of all things.

808
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: Number two, did you watch any of this? And Nicky

809
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 4: MVP goes to Anthony Edward.

810
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and I know you want to be not

811
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 5: just one of the best, you want to be the best.

812
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 5: How is this trophy a step towards that. It's a

813
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 5: step in the right direction. That's how that is. We

814
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: chose to compete today and we came out on top.

815
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 4: You talk about choosing to compete.

816
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: What do you like most about environments like this, talking

817
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: a little trash and going up against the legends of

818
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: the game.

819
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna lie, Wendy said the tone. He came

820
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 5: out playing hard, and you know we had to follow

821
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 5: that and we had to pick it up as a

822
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 5: red team and we did that.

823
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: You c KD and Lebron Garden. You why do you

824
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 4: want that match up?

825
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? For sure, I want to cut them every time.

826
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 3: You know that.

827
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Thanks an, thank you, all star. MVP is winning team

828
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: of the new format of basically four mini games that

829
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: are one quarter each. It's fine, it's something different. I mean,

830
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: it didn't grab me, but I'm not an NBA diehard,

831
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: So if it grabbed you.

832
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: That's great. No, I liked it in an Ant kind

833
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 4: of grabbed me.

834
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: And I don't that's weird talking about just a game

835
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: that doesn't matter, like and the skills kind we talked

836
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: about this, neilp like, no one cares about the skills

837
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: competition and and all of that. But but to the

838
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: to the end of just watching these guys just and

839
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: I still even at forty plus years old, I still

840
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: watch exhibitions like that, and it's just kind of it's

841
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 2: fun seeing everybody in the mix. Uh, with these mini games,

842
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: I thought the mini games themselves provided a more interesting element,

843
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: or at least you're getting to see different groups at

844
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: different times versus previous renditions of the All Star Game.

845
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: And and Ant was.

846
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't remember it the n Season tournament. Yeah,

847
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: All Star MVP. Like, we're a team that's been to

848
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: two Western Conference title games. That's the that's the focus,

849
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: that's the a topic for this team. This is a

850
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: cool little getaway and something to fill some time on

851
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: the weekend wrap on a Monday morning. But in the end,

852
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: like the effort and the the interest that some of

853
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: these guys showed at times in the All Star game.

854
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping that everyone's finding their legs underneath them

855
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 2: over the course of this week so that we jump

856
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: back into the mix. I think the team's the team's next.

857
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: We got Dallas out of the break. I'm scrambling, and

858
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: I know you don't have it because you hate basketball, Brett,

859
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: but they do host the MAVs on Friday. Like, just

860
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: need this break to end. Need this team to put

861
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: the pedal down. No more playing when we want to,

862
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: no more. It is what it is in terms of

863
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: nightly effort. Just get back in this thing. Stretch some

864
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: wins together and climb up those charts so that we

865
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: can host a playoff series and put ourselves in a

866
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 2: better spot, hopefully for a third consecutive Western Conference final.

867
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: Else, I got one more who we want to quickly

868
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: stret Number three. I stumbled across an article on the

869
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: Four Letter Network of proposing trades for many an NFL

870
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: team going in the off season, suggested that the Jets

871
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: go get Kyler Murray, the Bear should trade Dj Moore

872
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: for Max Crosby, which I had thought that sounds like

873
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: a nightmare to me, But there is one that involves

874
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: the Purple and it involves a trade with the San

875
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers for mac Jones. They suggest that

876
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: the Vikings get mac Jones and a third round pick

877
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven and give up a twenty twenty

878
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: six second rounder, a twenty seven to fifth rounder, and

879
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: a twenty eight third rounder for mac Jones.

880
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, see this is yeah, So I might.

881
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 2: I might bring this up during the final hour, and

882
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: it may come up tomorrow during nine to noon, and

883
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: it absolutely will be in vogue once the host returns

884
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 2: and we start putting Viking segments together in.

885
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 4: Mass with the com buying around the corner.

886
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: This is exactly what I was talking about with with

887
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: Alec Lewis in terms of this massive spectrum of what

888
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: you can do with the quarterback spot three nothing USA.

889
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 4: What it will tell you? Hey, hey ladies, let's hear it.

890
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: Come on, spoiler alert, three nothing USA.

891
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: I love this country. Three nothing in favor of the

892
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: Americans who scored? Did you see who scored?

893
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 4: I see it's thirty seven. I don't that's not heisy, it.

894
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 2: Is HESI did not get the brace. If it's thirty seven,

895
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 2: that would be I don't have her on the list

896
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: here on the roster of the What a shot though,

897
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: I'll find it Murphy. That is Murphy, isn't it. Yeah,

898
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: it's Murphy. Oh, what a snipe.

899
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 4: How about that? Well done?

900
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 2: Americans up three to nothing on the Swedes in the

901
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: semi final. Let me let me just put a cork

902
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 2: in this for now. The what we were talking about

903
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: with Alec Lewis is where we're at with the mac

904
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 2: Jones conversation, and then he is just the spectrum, the

905
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: broad range of things that they can do. The mac

906
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: Jones thing on paper bread seems ridiculous to me. That

907
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: does not excite me at all. We're flipping a lot

908
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: to give up from mediocre quarterback. He's just okay, he's fine.

909
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 4: He's fine. He deserves to be in the league. If

910
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:22,959
Speaker 4: had plenty of fine quarterbacks here.

911
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 2: And specifically with Shanahan's system. He's a dog by the way,

912
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he was out there, he was hurt. He

913
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 2: was kind of doing his best impression of Carson Wentz

914
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 2: at times.

915
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: Last year. He had this flot thing.

916
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: He had three or four different injuries, dragging himself off

917
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: the turf and down the field, and he filled in

918
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 2: beautifully for that team.

919
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 4: And they needed him to do.

920
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: So.

921
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: The idea that that is the competitive element that's going

922
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: to raise our quarterback room. And we're flipping effectively. You said,

923
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: we get a third back, but we're flipping it for

924
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: a second, and then I think we're also giving up

925
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 2: You said a conditional third maybe a year or two.

926
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 1: A conditional fifth, and a conditional third as well. Yeah,

927
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: in twenty seven and twenty eight, man, I mean just

928
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: I just four no, thank you, it's already four. Nothing,

929
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta pause.

930
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: Americans are up with three fifty left in the second.

931
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 2: It's for nothing. Another quick goal. Beautiful work by the Americans,

932
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 2: up on the Swedes. When we return, though, we're gonna

933
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 2: check in with Dan Hayes at the Athletic who's in

934
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 2: Fort Myers covering the Minnesota Twins.

935
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 4: Now that's bring training is upon us. We're gonna chat

936
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,239
