1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: I really wanted to start this return to the station

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: on a positive note. But we have, for some reason,

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: some Yahoo at iHeart decided that the system we've had

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: in place for years that allows us to get into

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: the branch on briancaffein text line it was too easy.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Apparently it was too compromised and too dangerous. So now

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: we have this moronic system in which at the start

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: of the show, I can't log in anymore without getting

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: what's called a verification code via my email on iHeart.

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: And ordinarily what I would do is once I get

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: that code, I'd say, all right, well, second segment, I

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: would input that. But because the time they give you

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: before the code expires is about thirty seconds, I said, well,

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to type it in. I typed

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: it in and guess what it's right, what it reads

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: invalid verification code? Me well, someone, has anybody in authority

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: been able to explain exactly why we can't have I

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: mean the whole we're in the communications business, right and

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: the idea is to be as accessible to the public

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: as possible via the outstanding Branshaw Brian Kfin text line,

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: And yet it has never been more difficult so you

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: can text me today. I don't know that we'll ever

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: get in. Did you get in? I finally got in.

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Now I can't reply for some reason, so I eventually

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: I've got to call the helpline and figure out why

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: I can't reply.

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: But I can see the text at least I'm double

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: checking did I have it? Did I type it in

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: right e l Z zero you? I literally typed it

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: in accurately. I looked at it again and it says

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: won't work, So I apologize. You might want to tweet

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: me Dan Barrero Cafe in because there's no guarantee. It's

33
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: a good way to start our return after several days off.

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Hope you had a wonderful or have had a wonderful

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend. It's a two hour edition of sermons for

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: the obvious reason that the Minnesota Vikings are a late

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: game today from dateline Seattle, Washington, so we will be

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: with you until eleven o'clock today, and of course a

39
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to get caught up on and a

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: lot of ground to cover. Was your journey to Iowa uneventful?

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Did you run into any weather on your way out

42
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: of town? Or was it an adventure? Got out of

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: town in time. It was rainy and wild, but we

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: got out.

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: It was much more eventful yesterday leaving work after Beyond

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the Pond's triumphant return, and this morning was a little

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: wonky as well.

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Getting yeah, even today is I think as the day

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: goes on to get a little bit better, but there's

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: still a lot of slick spots. If you are out

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: and about, you may already know that it did probably

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: slow everybody down. I think we are obligated to start

53
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: with Brozemac Brownstones. I think it's undeniable. I don't. We

54
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: could pretend, we could back into it, we could ease

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: into it, we could pretend that too much has been

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: made of Max Brosmer's first start. But it's the story.

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Quarterback generally in the National Football League is the story,

58
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: no matter who the guy is, who the quarterback happens

59
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: to be. But it's even more the story here. Why

60
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: because I've tried to explain this to the mc bobos

61
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: that and this is again no fault of McCarthy himself.

62
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: We've predicted this. If you go back to last training

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: camp last August, we were predicting that there were going

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: to be unfair expectations on JJ McCarthy because of the

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: circumstances at which he joins the club as the starter

66
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with how much time he

67
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: might need to develop. But it was inevitable that he

68
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: was going to be put in this unfair position and

69
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: have to deal with it. When the Vikings finished fourteen

70
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: and three last season. This wasn't your average one and

71
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: sixteen team that then gets the number one overall pick

72
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: and is trying to sort of start from scratch. The

73
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Vikings were not starting from scratch, so that even if

74
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback whisper or voice and you said, look, it

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: gonna take time, even for a kid of his pedigree,

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be some ups and downs. There might

77
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: be more downs than you think. You may know that rationally,

78
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: but if you put that against the Viking season last

79
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: year and the available options, McCarthy was going to become

80
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: the victim of a circumstance that was frankly beyond his control.

81
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: And we've been through it before, but i'll i'll set

82
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: it up again because we're now entering, at least for

83
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: one week, a new chapter. It may be a short chapter,

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: there may not be two chapters, but it's a it's

85
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: a departure with the Brozemer start. The announcement made. What

86
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: day was it proclaimed? Officially? Was it Thursday? Was a Thanksgiving?

87
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember the day when I saw. I looked

88
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and it was a Vikings dot com with video of

89
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: the head coach confirming. Was it Friday? The Max Brozmer

90
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback on Sunday against

91
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks? Is that a three o'clock start of three

92
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: twenty five today? Will you double check? My sources say

93
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was because I are we like about

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: three five, three or five. So that's that's when you

95
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: know you're like not considered big time. The three five

96
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: start as a post of the three twenty five double

97
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: header start, correct, So I think you're right. I think

98
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: it's three or five pregame show will be at one.

99
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: You have all these other options that were available to

100
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: you that make it easy then to say, well, they

101
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: could have done this, or they could have done there

102
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: were literally three other options, and ultimately the Vikings, for

103
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: reasons that we may never completely understand, said no to

104
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: all of them. And I think some of it was hubris,

105
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I really do. I think some of it was we

106
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: know what we're doing. Yeah, there may be ups and downs,

107
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: but we know how to bring how to guide and

108
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: develop quarterbacks, and how to get the best out of

109
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from the moment they arrive. And I think, deep

110
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: down and frankly, I think this is why there's an

111
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: unusual level of tension at TCO Performance Center. Cory to

112
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: all my sources is that they now know they screwed

113
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: that up, that they had a bit too much arrogance

114
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: about how quickly they thought this thing could be brought together,

115
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: even if they were worthy requisite ups and downs involving

116
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. And so now we find ourselves at

117
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: the Brozemer Brownstones period. And it's interesting because nationally now

118
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: forget locally because I mean locally, if there were people going, well,

119
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, this guy's pretty intriguing. He

120
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: is watch out, got a maturity to them, isn't interested

121
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: in doing the eye black thing, doesn't call himself Number twelve,

122
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: doesn't talk about alter egos, just prepares and then goes

123
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: out and tries to make good decisions, sound judicious decisions,

124
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: and goes in place. If you heard that locally, you go, oh, yeah,

125
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: what do you expect. That's what people want to believe

126
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: because they're looking to grab onto something. But what's interesting

127
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: is you're hearing people nationally go, I've actually heard pretty

128
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: good things about this kid, given that he kind of

129
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, given that he was undrafted, given

130
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: that he played for a fairly you know what, do

131
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: we call it midland program here at the University of Minnesota.

132
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: So all that's going to do, oddly enough, is raise

133
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: expectations for what he might do today. In what I

134
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: think most neutral observers would say is, are not particularly

135
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: favorable circumstances for your first start, right, you'd like your

136
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: first start to be at home. Realistically, you'd like your

137
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: first start to be against maybe a team that is

138
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: not fashioned. I don't Seattle, I think does have one

139
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: of the best records in the one of the better records,

140
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: at least in the National Football Conference, there where the

141
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: Vikings have tended to have difficulty over the decades against

142
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: not only that, but against the quarterback that they said

143
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: no to or couldn't come to terms with, or said

144
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: we're not going to give him the big contract, Sam Darnold.

145
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: Yet I feel like reading let me see if I

146
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: can find a couple of the This is from your guy,

147
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: Mike Floria. This is I think just filed earlier today

148
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: and now with McCarthy in the concussion protocol, it's Brozemer time.

149
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: It is. Devin mccordy explained on a recent episode of

150
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: PFT Live one of your favorite watches he learned when

151
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: working the Patriots Vikings preseason gave the Vikings have a

152
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: very high opinion of Brosmer, with some believing he could

153
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: have a long NFL career. Since then, we've wind of

154
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: cautious optimism that the moment won't be too big for Brozemer.

155
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: Did guards He write this or did Mike Floria write this?

156
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: Or might there be a kernel of truth to it?

157
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: As one source put it, brose Maury is quote made

158
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: of the right stuff. Is Guardsy the source he processes quickly,

159
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: he throws accurately. Florio then takes the opportunity to take

160
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: a shot at JJ McCarthy. Consistent accuracy is something McCarthy

161
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: hasn't displayed. Also, McCarthy tends to have only one pitch

162
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: in his arsenal, a fastball that makes it difficult on

163
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: the receivers. It prevents the Vikings from layering the ball

164
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: into the intermediate parts of the field. In recent years,

165
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: that's been a key part of the Minnesota passing game.

166
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Either way, Brozemer is getting his chance. We'll see if

167
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: he passes the eyeball test. We'll see if he can

168
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: deliver the ball to the open man. We'll see if

169
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: he makes good decisions quickly, especially if when the walls

170
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: close in on him. As the source said, you ready

171
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: for it.

172
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: Don't be shocked if Max balls out wall.

173
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: God, I can't wait for three, can you. This is

174
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: being built up now. The danger of building it up

175
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: is if he lays an egg, it's going to be crushing.

176
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: It's going to be devastating to people. My hunch is

177
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: he's not gonna lay an egg. He does right. Florio,

178
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: an upset of the eight and three Seahawks is too

179
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: much to reasonable expect for the four and seven Vikings.

180
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Best case scenario would be to see enough from Brozmen

181
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: to make him a potential candidate to play in twenty

182
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: twenty six, once the Vikings inevitably explore explore all options

183
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: at the position in the off season. Here's the critical

184
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: juncture we're at, and here's where I was trying to

185
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: get to in my usual, as usual long winded way.

186
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I do believe the one thing I've learned after covering

187
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: national football, I started covering professional football regularly. It would

188
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: have been in nineteen eighty one in Dallas, Texas. Cover

189
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: the whole league, not just the Dallas Cowboys. And the

190
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: one thing I think I have learned is that no

191
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: matter what organizations tell you about, this is our guy.

192
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: We're committed to this guy. It's going to take time,

193
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: blah blah and black that in the end, what they

194
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: really believe in when it comes to the especially the

195
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: quarterback quarterback position, everything must be in play, and that

196
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: means everybody must be in play. And I believe that's

197
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: the juncture this team, this organization, whether they're willing to

198
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: admit it or not, is already at and by definition

199
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: that means, think Lavelle wrote about this a little bit today,

200
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: all possibilities should be explored. Did the Vikings intend to

201
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: explore the Brozemer opportunity this early on the road in

202
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: this situation. No, but circumstances sometimes force organizations to say, well,

203
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: we got to play somebody, so we'll put him out there.

204
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Let's see what he does. He might be awful, he

205
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: might get overwhelmed more than we think. But what if

206
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: he isn't. What if he shows us some stuff at

207
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: least enough to say, maybe we got to put him

208
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: in the mix. Maybe we at least have to keep

209
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: all of our options open going forward. Now, the downside

210
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: of that is quarterback circus, right quarterback controversy, jackals circling

211
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: like sharks, just waiting for their first taste of blood,

212
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: for the coach to start hemming and hauling and going

213
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: back and forth, sending mixed messages. But the rule in

214
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: the National Football League is I've learned at the last

215
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: forty some years, is you have to put all options

216
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: on the table, even if the option that ends up

217
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: being the most intriguing isn't the one you planned to be,

218
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: that isn't the one you invested in heavily, isn't the

219
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: one that you said this is the guy. So I

220
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: think that's what this Brozemer moment fairly represents. And for

221
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Vikings fans, who I think have come to the realization

222
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: that the team is not going to make the postseason

223
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: this year, it's really the only story that I think

224
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: will carry their interest through the last what month and

225
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: change of the season. We're towards the end of We're

226
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: almost to December, correct, got basically a month ago. That's

227
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: what will carry this thing, And frankly, that's why I

228
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: believe there's a greater interest and curiosity about this game

229
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: than there otherwise would be if JJ McCarthy was still

230
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: playing right, or even quite frankly, if Carson Wentz somehow

231
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: was back miracle after a miracle cure to his shoulder

232
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: and his back despite the abuse that he suffered because

233
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: the head coach refused to take him out of that

234
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: game feels like four years ago. So that's I think

235
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: what intrigues me at this point. And hearing what we're

236
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: hearing nationally as well now it is also worth noting.

237
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Let's see if I can find the tweet in question

238
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: here that got my attention. Now this would be called

239
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: background material your guy Adam Schefter, because I mean Adam

240
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Schefter's jobs. What I got to report on whoever's playing.

241
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: And so if I can find an interesting nugget on

242
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Max Brosmer, that doesn't prove Max Brosmer is going to

243
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: be an NFL starting quarterback, but it's worth talking about

244
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: because he's started, and according to schefter Quasi Adopha Mensa

245
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: lobbied to get Brozemer an invite to the twenty twenty

246
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: five combine at the request of Blakemore's guy PJ. Fleck,

247
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: and later was overheard saying that he quote kind of

248
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: wished he hadn't because then Brozemer could have been the

249
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Vikings secret. Now in fairness, though it turns out he

250
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: remained the Viking secret because the Vikings signed him, right.

251
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, did anybody else work as hard as the

252
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Vikings to try to sign it. Maybe other teams did,

253
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know about But it's Brosemer Brownstone Sunday.

254
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: There's not any question about that. And we'll see how

255
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: it goes. Now, if he shows up in Seattle, like

256
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: right before the game, you know where they show the

257
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: teams coming out of the tunnel or coming out of

258
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: the locker room. If he shows up in EyeBlack, I'm

259
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: going to be very disappointed. I really, I really am.

260
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: I no EyeBlack Brosemer. I don't think I've ever remember

261
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Brosmer wearing EyeBlack. Maybe he has and I'm just not

262
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: remembering it. We don't need EyeBlack to prove that you're

263
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: a you know, big time gutty ready for the challenge quarterback,

264
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: and you don't have to have an alter ego. I

265
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: think I mentioned last week Brosmer is a twenty four

266
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: and a half years old. I think he's he turns

267
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: twenty five in March, I want to say early next year.

268
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: So for you, I know, Blake Moore, this is all

269
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: amusing because especially after Thursday, you're feeling very smug, not

270
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: only about your team but about your quarterback, who played

271
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: very well. I thought, I thought that was the best

272
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: he's played in a while. Frankly, yeah. And so my

273
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: assumption is you, like Gerby, are like, go ahead have

274
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: your fun about Max Brosmer, Brosemer, He's the names will

275
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: be mispronounce a million times today in some locales. In fact,

276
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: did I hear Robert Smith? Robert Smith did the Gopher game.

277
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I thought the first time he mentioned Brosmer he called

278
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: him Brosmer. Did anybody else hear that? Or am I

279
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: misquoting our guy Robert Smith? And then heard Brosmer a

280
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: lot after that? He had it right, But I thought

281
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: the first time he might have said Brosmer if anybody

282
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: else knows, let me let me know. Indeed, But I'm

283
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: sure you're finding this all very amusing. All this all

284
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: this speculation about what Max Brosmer might represent.

285
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just put it this way. Today at seven

286
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: o'clock there was a rousing three and a half minute

287
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: long montage between the Vikings win and the Alliance win,

288
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: which you can listen to right now. I yeah, it's

289
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: it's a little amusing, but it's it's hard to wrap

290
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: your head around because if this was let's be honest,

291
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: if this was if Max Brosmer went to Tulane, right,

292
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: this would not be getting the hubbub that it is,

293
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: at least locally. It's hard to explain, you know, being

294
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: home from Thanksgiving and saying, there's so many people that

295
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: are just dying for this for Brozemer to play. And

296
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: I have friends that aren't Vikings fans or Packer fans.

297
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: They go, he's an.

298
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 2: Undrafted free agent and quarterback, Like why is because he's

299
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: a Gopher, Because it's the story. Well, there's no question

300
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: for some people in this town if he if he

301
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: has stayed at New Hampshire, this would not be anywhere

302
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: near as as big a deal.

303
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: There's no there's that that's undeniable. But I think part

304
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: of what it is, in fairness to Brozemer is he

305
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: looks like he has a composure to him. He has

306
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: a maturity and adult nature to him that I do

307
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: try to put the new code in as they speak

308
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: here that I do think if you watch the Gophers

309
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: last year, say well, he looked pretty good. And by

310
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: the way, not let's say up the password. It says

311
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

312
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: Which I love that the most hard to get to

313
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: data is the most important, which is the texts.

314
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: This is unbelievable.

315
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: I still we have to protect what Rose Bowl guy

316
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: is texting in or do we.

317
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: Think like somebody's gonna hijack this stuff or what? That's

318
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. Let me see if that'll work.

319
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's see that update. I can read you

320
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: a couple Well, here we go, here we go on more. Yeah,

321
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: I think, hold on, hold on, let me, I'm gonna

322
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: get in. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna get this

323
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: thing done on air because it's it's so annoying and

324
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: so obnoxious. Now this says update password invalid password.

325
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: Thank god, you can't make it up, all right? You

326
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: got a couple to read?

327
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

328
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: Sex one two Guy says, might we call them bo bosemers? Oh,

329
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: bo bos?

330
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that's an idea.

331
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: Let's see TV two K Guy says, I expect brozemerup

332
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: three hundred touchdowns or three hundred yards three touchdowns, no picks.

333
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a little over the head there. Let's see.

334
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: I think here's was it? Four to two?

335
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Three? Guy?

336
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, I think the Vike. You need to find

337
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: a good free agent quarterback in the off season. Let J. J.

338
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: McCarthy sit and learn for a year or two. He

339
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 2: missed all that opportunity last year at the injury. I

340
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: think we're beyond that. It's over as far as just

341
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: letting him sit that the twothdays is out of the tube.

342
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: No, you're still there. I think I got it all

343
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: update password, verify, it's you. What is going on here? Honestly,

344
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: this is like, no, I don't want to do that.

345
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: All right? Let me see. Can I get back in?

346
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: Looks like I'm in, looks like I'm finally in outstanding.

347
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: That's really really good, I Black writes, nine seven sixth three.

348
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Guy needs to be earned, does it? Wild is the

349
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: greatest team in the history of sport. We'll get to

350
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: that later. The winning streak is over. I watched I

351
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: didn't see much of the game. I did watch O

352
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: T and the shoot up, uh, the the uh and

353
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: and that that we ended.

354
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: Up losing there, correct, so we still get a point,

355
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: got a point, but we didn't we were we weren't

356
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: going to go the rest of the season undefeated.

357
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Were we know? And they built up enough equity that

358
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: they can drop a game.

359
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: But I thought, actually they played okay, yeah, some good

360
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 2: goaltending on the other side, so they have enough equity

361
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: to where I'm not.

362
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Going to worry too much. And I think the Vikings

363
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: need to find a good free agent quarterback in the

364
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: off season and let JJ sit and learn. Oh that's

365
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: when you just read that, Well, that's too late the Jones. Yeah,

366
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be the the mac Jones rumors.

367
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: What you know, the forty nine ers back up, because

368
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: he's going to land somewhere. He has done well enough.

369
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: He's going to land somewhere too. Well. I love to

370
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: read that one, but I can't. Dan. Will you offer

371
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: your take on the lane given saga playing out down

372
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: South Kiff, and we should remember is one of us

373
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: grew up here. I I'm glad he brought that up.

374
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: That's ed in Saint Paul, because I do want to

375
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: get to that story, because I I do have a

376
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: number of opinions about the saga that I think is

377
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: going to be ultimately played out tonight. It's Bro Time.

378
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: Will that be the shirt? Bro Time? Will that be

379
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: the ball cap? Bro State Fair shirt?

380
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 3: May it?

381
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: May be? I would like.

382
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: Them to continue because they it was JJ to JJ

383
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and they cross it out to be

384
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.

385
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I would like them to just cross out JJ

386
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: and put Brosemer in there. I don't think you can

387
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: completely I don't think you can rule anything out at

388
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: this point. How does the fan base respond if Broser

389
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: pulls a Nathan Nathan Peterman throws five picks by halftime,

390
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Well that, like I said, the level of devastation. I

391
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's a word to describe it. It would

392
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: go beyond devastation. Because that's all Vikings fans, at least

393
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: some of them have left to hold on to right now,

394
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: is let's just get something. Let's get something out of

395
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: them that's a little morsel. Here's what I will say

396
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: where I think there's another reason I'll save it because

397
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: I've gone along in this segment. We'll come back with it.

398
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: There's another aspect to Brozemer's starting today that I do

399
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: think is very very relevant, even if you think you

400
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: love JJ McCarthy, which we will indeed discuss. We'll get

401
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: to that. We will get to plenty on the Wild.

402
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: Wolves almost blown again, get saved by the Wiley veteran

403
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: Mike Conley hits A three when they were in yet

404
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: again serious implosion.

405
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: Were the Wolves? I got some stuff to get into there.

406
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: We mentioned the wild and yes, we will talk about

407
00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: the Golden Gophers wrapping up a undistinguished season by knocking

408
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: off their arrival the Wisconsin Badgers, and I uh, yesterday

409
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: in the snow, and I eagerly await the quote from

410
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: PJ that's coming this week as his response to any

411
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: of the negatives when he says, you know, when I

412
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: came here, they said if you just beat Wisconsin, we'll

413
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: be fine. Trust me, you're gonna hear it several times

414
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: in the next week or two. Boothecafean dot Com it's

415
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: opened the Bradshawn Bryant Cafe and text line as well.

416
00:25:32,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: Six four six eighty six. Have a proclamation I'd like

417
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: to make before I get to the other aspect of

418
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: the Brozemer start today that I think is very crucial

419
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: to the Vikings thinking moving forward on JJ McCarthy, here's

420
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: my proclamation. I'm wondering how many of you will agree

421
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: the National Football League and its officials, And you know me,

422
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: I don't like talking too much about officials because too

423
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: many other people spend half their day whining about the

424
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: calls we didn't get, never remembering the calls you do get.

425
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: But the National Football League has to stop giving the

426
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt to every coach who calls a

427
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: time out clearly after the ball has been snapped. I

428
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: can't stand it.

429
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: Your team, by the way, profited, I'm not sure what

430
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 2: you're talking from one of them, and I'm looking at

431
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: I mean, basically, again, this is a florio issue's on

432
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: fire today with a comment from Well, here's the headline.

433
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 2: Walt Anderson is a big time NFL officiating rules analyst,

434
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: and basically what Anderson is saying is when in doubt

435
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: on timeouts, the NFL wants it to be granted.

436
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: They want the benefit of the doubt to go to

437
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the coach.

438
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 4: Wrong.

439
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: Now, I understand it's all subjective about what gets there. First.

440
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: I've seen it in college games is this weekend. I've

441
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: seen it in pro games. I see it over and

442
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: over again, And to be honest, I actually think it's

443
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: more exciting and compelling for fans. If, Hey, they know

444
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: they're in the wrong formation, they're going to pay for it.

445
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: If the other team should not be penalized for the team,

446
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: let's say on the defensive end, not being in the

447
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: proper position or not knowing what formation they're supposed to

448
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: be in or what defense they're supposed to be in.

449
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: So I would love to see an off season discussion

450
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: where we go no, no, no, no, no, no benefit of

451
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: the doubt. The rules should be if the if the

452
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: if the timeout is not granted before the ball is snapped,

453
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: then the play goes. And obviously, I guess I'm trying

454
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: to figure out why we want the benefit of the

455
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: doubt to go to coaches. I understand it's not replayable.

456
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: It's not a play where they can we're gonna we're

457
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna give it to the you know, the eye and

458
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: the sky is going to take a second look at it.

459
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: Replay assist is going to take a second look at it.

460
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: But I've seen it too many times where it's very clear.

461
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like the the shot clock that

462
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: goes down to zero half the time, and it's the old. Well,

463
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: here's what I do. If I look at the clock

464
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: and I see zero, and then I looked towards the

465
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: ball and it's about then it's snapped, right, then I

466
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: let it go. Why if when you look, if the

467
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: ball has not been snapped, and at any point it

468
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: says zero sposed to be zero. So I would say,

469
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: here's the other Would this help? What if, in the

470
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: case of the shot clock, a horn went off when

471
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: it's down to zero, a loud horn in the arena

472
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: in the stadium goes off, and then that's it. Sorry,

473
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: you didn't get the damn playoff. I don't know why,

474
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: because to me, that should be part of strategy. If

475
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: one coach out foxes the other and leaves that other

476
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: team unprepared. You have your timeouts, you should be allowed

477
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: to use them, but you should be allowed to use

478
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: them legally. You don't get to you. I'm gonna start running,

479
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: and I was running towards the ref to make the call.

480
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: That should be enough. No, as far as I'm concerned,

481
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: it should not be. And in your case, didn't save

482
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: me from a false start, saved us from a false start.

483
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: Changed everything well, and then they scored a touchdown them

484
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: and you're gonna win the game, I think. I As

485
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: it turned to the Lions were very disappointing I thought

486
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: throughout that game, especially well defensively. I mean, they looked

487
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: like they were a mess. You guys are putting on

488
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: a clinic. I just don't like that play at all.

489
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: We'll get into there's some other strategical flourishes that got

490
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: a lot of attention this weekend as well. The Gophers.

491
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm told the fans did storm the field after the

492
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: Gophers victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.

493
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Is that correct? What was the final score in the game?

494
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: Was a seventeen seven? Seventeen seven?

495
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: Seventeen to seven was the final I am seeing pictures

496
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: of people out there. I'm pretty sure they did a

497
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: big win. Well, here's what I'll hear.

498
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 4: I have.

499
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think I've made this clear because people say,

500
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: why what are you gonna you know, what are you

501
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna say about it? I go, well, I'm bored with

502
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: the subject anymore because it is a genie out of

503
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: the bottle thing where if I'm not going to get

504
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: as outraged as I'm supposed to, I guess because it's

505
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: all becomes so stupid, bid and so automatic that it

506
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything to me. Here's the new excuse, given

507
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: this was this was novel to me. The new excuse was, well,

508
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: if you survived that bitter cold all game, then you

509
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: deserve to go out on the field. Okay, all right,

510
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: knock yourselves out. Just let's just all acknowledge at this

511
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: point there are no rules, there is no protocol, there

512
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: are no standards. We'd be better off if if if

513
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: that was acknowledged, then I wouldn't be Then at that

514
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: point I wouldn't be bothered and say, well, we're just

515
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: it's all. Everybody's into the pool. It doesn't really matter

516
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: at this point. Obsessing over it doesn't make any difference either.

517
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: So go ahead, knock yourselves out, go out on the field.

518
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: After you knocked off Wisconsin. By the way, we finish

519
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: with five big ten victories, the record of the five

520
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: teams we've beaten is a combined nine and thirty six.

521
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: I know I'm not supposed to notice that. I know

522
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not allowed to because that's a win that

523
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: represents a winning record. But that's the truth. That's the fact.

524
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: The combined teams they beat were nine and thirty six

525
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: this season. So if I'm not going to hold a parade,

526
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If I'm not going to be interested in

527
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: the contract extension, I'm sorry. I just can't do it,

528
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: not with a straight face, not if I have any

529
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: respect for my audience. I just I can't do it,

530
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: and I refuse to do it. The season, as far

531
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, was already told before the Wisconsin game,

532
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: and we get into this silly deal of rivalry game

533
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: against Wisconsin. If you want to go with the we

534
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: beat the Wisconsin brand, knock yourselves out. The brand is

535
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: in what it's been most of the last twenty five years.

536
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, But most of us live in the real

537
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: world and say, well, this is as brutalized as a

538
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin team as there's been in quite some time. So

539
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: you don't apologize for winning it, but to pretend that

540
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: This is another example of went out and took care

541
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of business against one of those rival schools. Okay again,

542
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: I I I just I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

543
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: play on that level. I'm just not gonna do it.

544
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: If it's important for you to do it and to

545
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: get excited about it, it's a free country, go right ahead.

546
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: It's just you're not You're not gonna get a whole

547
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: lot of satisfaction here. It's just it's just not gonna

548
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: work for me. If the nature of the season is

549
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: as lopsided as it is this year, then the number

550
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: of victories become less important to me than what those

551
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: victories represent. Sorry, I I I don't know how it

552
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: can be any clearer than that. We have gone through

553
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: the totals of how non competitive they were in three

554
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: of the five Big ten uh or I should say, well,

555
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: not all of them were Big ten games. Cal was not,

556
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: but three of the Big ten losses were not competitive.

557
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: They lost to a Northwestern team that they were supposed

558
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: to beat. If you wanted to convince me that this

559
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a good season, you had to

560
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: win the last two. What I'm seeing now is people

561
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: who had said that before those two games are now

562
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: hedging their bets and saying, well, they won one of

563
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: the two. You know, they split them and they finished

564
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: with the rivalry game, so it's a good season. Sorry,

565
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not going to agree with that. Knock

566
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: yourselves out on it. But I can't get there, and

567
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: I won't get there. I don't care what the history

568
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: of this program is. It's use your own eyes and

569
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: you know the eye test, and you watch that game.

570
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: That's a middling season, regardless of the fact that they

571
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: end up yes technically with five wins in the Big

572
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Ten and undefeated at home. I don't know when being

573
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: undefeated at home ever should feel more hollow than it

574
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: does this season. When it's coupled with what they did

575
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: on the road as well. That's not a serious team.

576
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: It's just not. And the other thing they're gonna have

577
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: to do, you know, because one of the excuses this

578
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: year that PJ has used a lot number one running

579
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: back has been in and out of the lineup a lot.

580
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Get another running back. What the good teams do is

581
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: they have depth. So it becomes too easy to just

582
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: turn it on whether you got your number one running

583
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: back out there and if you don't, it's not your

584
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: fault that you didn't do very well in the running game.

585
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams, good teams, good college

586
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: programs that develop depth, and so at some point if you,

587
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: especially if you have a running back who's as hard

588
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: as he's been, that's on you for not developing that

589
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: depth and giving yourself another option. Let's pause right here.

590
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm told by the way in the press conferencester he

591
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: already played the card I predicted he would, and we'll

592
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: hear it a lot for several more weeks because we,

593
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: like I said, we were apparently not allowed to actually

594
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: process what happens in a given season and distill the

595
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: true meaning of it to go back to when it's

596
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: convenient the cliches of what did we beat Wisconsin? Isn't

597
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: that what you when I came here? Isn't that what

598
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: I was told was all we needed to do well?

599
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: First of all, we don't even really know how many

600
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: people said that to PJ. It's a crutch for him.

601
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: It's convenient. He's going to use it whenever it will

602
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: suit his purpose. But I think wasn't there beating Iowa

603
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: more often in there?

604
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: Too?

605
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: Is that not count either. I'm not sure how did

606
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: the Gophers do against Iowa this season? Sunday Sermons brought

607
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: to you by JTR Roofing. All right, we are indeed

608
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: back two hour edition of Sermons because the Vikings are

609
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: the afternoon game. Three o'clock start out of Seattle, with

610
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: the pregame show is being scheduled as usual for one

611
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: o'clock Vikings. Football Sunday will begin at one o'clock this afternoon.

612
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: I think guards he's back tomorrow for Bumper to Bumper

613
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: or are you on tomorrow?

614
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm taking over for him after the top five. Seriously,

615
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: another basketball game. I'm assuming, I think so.

616
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: He might be right he is. This is like the

617
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: busiest time of the year for him and he still

618
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: hasn't had a chance to uh to chat about. Well,

619
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: this guy Brozmer finally getting the opportunity he had admitted

620
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: suffering from a great deal of fomo. It's it's unusual

621
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: for somebody to be in a tropical climb like the Bahamas,

622
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: and he'd rather be here, at least to the extent

623
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: that he wanted to participate in the Brozman Brownstones discussion

624
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: after looking forward to it over and over again. He

625
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: got some enduring go for football. Some few I think

626
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna play well. Yeah, yeah, that probably makes some sense.

627
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: Wild So tell me about performance yesterday. We should we

628
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: be bitter after what we did the game before.

629
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: I mean it was always after a rousing, emotional win

630
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: against a really good team in the Avalanche, to then

631
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: go and play one of the worst teams in the Sabers.

632
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: That was the worry going into it was, uh, your

633
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: day back to back, is it going to be an

634
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: emotional letdown? And I think for the most part, they

635
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: were pretty good. Like I said earlier, it's just the

636
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: equity they've built up over the month. They can afford

637
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 2: to drop a point in my mind and not have

638
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: me be worried.

639
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you obviously know that they're going to They're not

640
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: going to, like you say, win every game the rest

641
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: of them correct. So now the test is how you

642
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: respond to it right if they if that starts a

643
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: little bit of a step in the wrong direction again,

644
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: that lasts five games, then you say something's up right,

645
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: that's the issue.

646
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: But you're not gonna You're not gonna win every game.

647
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: I thought the goaltending for the most part was good.

648
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: One of the goals was a weird off the end glass,

649
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: a pop fly where Zucarello tried to glove down and

650
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: it bounced into the net like just some weird you know,

651
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: some weird puck luck that happens. The guys were scoring though,

652
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: the top guys are doing their job, and I don't know,

653
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm just not too flustered by it. They dropped the

654
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: point in the shootout. Yeah, if walst that was in,

655
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: could he me? Is he better in the shootout than

656
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: Gus Bus Maybe a little, or at least recently he

657
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: has been. But I don't know, I'm just not too

658
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: bothered by I thought they played just fine and hopefully

659
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: they can still just move.

660
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: On from that.

661
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: Who was it? And it was Gus Bus right, it was? Yeah,

662
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 2: I mean again, some weird bounces. The second goal was weird. Yeah,

663
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm just I want to be I don't want to

664
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 2: ever be captain negative about them. Sometimes I have to be,

665
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: but I'm just not. I am just not flustered at

666
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: all by that. It stinks that they got into that situation.

667
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: It's thinks that they dropped the point that they should

668
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: have had easily, right, But it's just they have so

669
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: much EQUI in the entire month, one of the best

670
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: records of not the in the league, beating the self

671
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: proclaimed as the AVS. Radio guy says best team in

672
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: the world Avalanche. It's just I'm not too hot and

673
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: bothered by this one at all.

674
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Somebody is trying to get me going, get both of

675
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: us going. I guess regarding x A Minnesota Golden Gopher football,

676
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm not that offended. I mean, this is what brands

677
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: online do in twenty twenty five. Their mission is make

678
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: us look as good as you possibly can. And this

679
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: one reads let victory Sunday commence hashtag ar row the

680
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: boat sky Yu Mott Gophers. And it's a it's a

681
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: great big w over, a play in the end zone,

682
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown catch in the end zone for the Gophers.

683
00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: It's what I think most people now understand that when

684
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: a brand that is representing a franchise, a professional team,

685
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: or a college team capitalizes on a victory, they're doing

686
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: kind of what brands are now expected to do. But

687
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything. It's just sort of kind of

688
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: par for the course. It doesn't necessarily make a profound statement.

689
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: It's factual, and you sort of just leave the thing

690
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: at that and move on. So that part of it

691
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: doesn't particularly surprise me. So in any case, I've got

692
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of It's interesting because there's there are a

693
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: number of people who are bitter with any of the

694
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: negativity and the Gophers, and then there's a bunch. I'd

695
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: say it's about that's twenty five percent. There's about seventy

696
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: five percent of the Texters we're getting are agreeing or

697
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: saying you're not being tough enough. This comes from Ricking

698
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: Columbia Heights. Well, I'm a Gover fan and want them

699
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: to win. You do not go far enough. If you

700
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: talk about the eye test, I understand that the winning

701
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: is win. Did you see three wins against records purduing

702
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: Michigan State, all terrible teams that should have They should

703
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: have lost all three at home. I tried to be objective.

704
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: This might be the worst seven to five team that

705
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: I have ever seen. Well, that is part of the

706
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: but I meant I guess by the eye test. The

707
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: eye test isn't just the degree to which they got

708
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: dominated in the road, but the difficulty they had beating

709
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: teams that ended up with a combined record of nine

710
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: and thirty six. I don't even think double check Nebraska.

711
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: I think even Nebraska finished in the Big Ten below

712
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: five hundred. I think they finished four and five if

713
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. So we didn't beat anybody in the

714
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,959
Speaker 1: Big Ten. I don't believe with a winning record. Yeah,

715
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: so that we beat teams that are four and five,

716
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: two and seven, two and seven, one and eight, and

717
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: zero to nine. And the problem with that is they

718
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: didn't beat them to I guess to the Texters point

719
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: they did. Other than the Nebraska game, which was thorough,

720
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: they didn't beat any of those other teams decisively. Now

721
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: you can say, well, if on a way to win,

722
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: and I will tell you that the number one description

723
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: for me of this team this year is they're good

724
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: at finding a way to beat the teams they're supposed

725
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: to be. That's it. There's nothing else that I can

726
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,479
Speaker 1: say that's more positive than that. They accept gifts from

727
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: bad teams that play against them graciously. They take full

728
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: advantage of the gifts that the gifts that those teams

729
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: kept bestowing on them to give them chances to steal

730
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: those games. Doesn't make it a bad season, but it

731
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: doesn't make it one where I can get all that,

732
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: you know, I can talk about another contract extension for PJ. Fleck.

733
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: We got a full hour to go. I never did

734
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: pay off the tees. On the other reason that McCarthy

735
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: fans should be extremely curious about how Max Brozmer does

736
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: today and frankly why the organization itself that's already invested

737
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: so much in JJ McCarthy also, we'll be curious and

738
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: needs to pay attention. We'll do that. We'll get to

739
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: some timberwool stuff. We'll maybe broaden out the discussion to

740
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: some of the Thanksgiving Day games. We'll get to the

741
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen controversy and an interesting decision strategic strategical decision

742
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: in one of the NFL games that's getting off an

743
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: awful lot of attention as well. So full hour. It's

744
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: our two of our post Thanksgiving edition of Sunday Sermons

745
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 1: back in a minute, our number two Sunday Sermons, Barrero

746
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: and blakemore with you until eleven o'clock today. Do we

747
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: have what do we have in between before the lot

748
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: of NFL conversation nationally, before the the Vikings Football Sunday

749
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: Crew takes over at one Little West would want NFL review. Okay,

750
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: that's nice. I don't even know because what time is

751
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: your apology by the way to the Monsters the Midway? Yeah,

752
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: I already tweeted one out, But yeah, was it rather sarcastic?

753
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: What did you mean it?

754
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: Well, I said, I apologize for jinxing it because I

755
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: had said.

756
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: You're right, you said they were not going to win

757
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: another game the rest of the season. For the offense

758
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. The run offense is absurd. You could say

759
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: they should have been further ahead in that game, but

760
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: ultimately they did what they had to do in Philadelphia's

761
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: a mess the Eagles, but let's face it, I mean

762
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: for the Bears, it started a stretch of games where

763
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: you say, okay, now you're going to find out whether

764
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: there their record is based entirely on who they've played

765
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: and when they've played those teams. So you have to

766
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: give them a proper credit a number of people for

767
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: knocking off the Eagles on Friday with a running game

768
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: that approached I think three hundred yards, the first time

769
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: they had two one hundred yard rushers in a game

770
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: since the Peyton era, with the the other running back

771
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: was a guy by the name of Matt Suey, Matt Sueye.

772
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: So that goes all the way back to was it

773
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: eighty I can't remember if it was eighty five or not,

774
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: but it was in that in that era for sure,

775
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 1: might have been that eighty five season. Did you see

776
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: what their head coach did after the game in the

777
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: locker room? I think so so Ben Johnson is a

778
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: couple of players speak and then Ben Johnson gets into

779
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: the center of the huddle to give his postgame you

780
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: know speed, this is a new thing. We remember remember

781
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: when we were winning games and then afterwards we'd get

782
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: from vikings dot com the video of koc pacing around

783
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: the sideline holding the football he's gonna throw to whoever

784
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: deserves it for that game, and he's talking about we

785
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: stay together, we stuck together. We are believing everybody in

786
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,959
Speaker 1: this room. We're not getting as many of those right now.

787
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: That's what happens though when you lose and when you

788
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: win though, and the Bears aren't used to winning. Now

789
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: you're getting some of those same videos coming out of

790
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: the Bears locker room. Again, it goes back to your

791
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: social media brand. That's what it's all about now. So

792
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, And I don't know if there's a

793
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: backstory to this that's been explained. Maybe he podcasts the show.

794
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: Because I've asked for several weeks. I think I may

795
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: even ask you this question among the NFC North coaches,

796
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: who has the best BMI because your coach is in

797
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: good shape. Our coach is in good shape. Ben Johnson's

798
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: clearly in good shape. Now you could say Lions guy

799
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: bigger guide doesn't strike me as maybe being chiseled the

800
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: same way. But I wouldn't want to mess with him,

801
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: would you. I'm a strong guy.

802
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 2: If we're talking BMI, he's out, he's out. Yeah, he's

803
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 2: probably out.

804
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: That's true. That doesn't necessarily mean who I don't want

805
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 1: to fight? You take cant Yeah, So maybe Ben Johnson

806
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: heard about it and wanted to answer my question because

807
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: he takes his shirt off and starts chanting and is

808
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: getting rave reviews for what his upper body looked like,

809
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: because he looked like his BMI was very competitive with

810
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: anything that KOC and your guy Matt Lafleur might be

811
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: able to offer. I don't exactly know. So maybe we

812
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: got our BMI thing answered, or maybe at least it

813
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: was his way to make sure we didn't forget about

814
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson in the mix I teased much earlier. The

815
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: other part of the Brosmer story that I think mcbobo's

816
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: and the Vikings have to be extremely interested in, let's

817
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: do the if game, okay, and the if game doesn't

818
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: have to be played at the level of if the Viking.

819
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: If Brosber throws four touchdown passes and no picks and

820
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: leads the Vikings, who are is it double digit or

821
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: close to double digit underdogs to the Seattle Seahawks knock

822
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: off the Seahawks in Seattle this afternoon. Doesn't have to

823
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: be an if on that level. But what if the

824
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: if is simply this Brozmer finds open receivers and gets

825
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: the ball to them. Let's just say sixty two percent

826
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: of the time instead of fifty on time, instead of

827
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: too late on time, instead of too early in itself?

828
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: Won't that tell us something about how much further JJ

829
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: McCarthy has to go, Because I think part of what

830
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: the mcbobos have tried to hold on to is well,

831
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: the line really hasn't been together the entire season, and

832
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: even when it has been together, it hasn't been particularly

833
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: as distinguished as it was supposed to be. Receivers have

834
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: dropped too many passes and that, Yeah, my guy hasn't

835
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: been very good. But there's been a lot of this

836
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: function on this team. Well, if today the receivers look

837
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: better and the line looks a little bit better, and

838
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: as we said, the completion percentage goes up, might that

839
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: be an alarm bell where you go, oh, A lot

840
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: of this is on the quarterback. I think I've put

841
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: it at seventy five percent so far this season has

842
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: been on the QB. That's not one hundred percent, but

843
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: I think it's closer to seventy five percent than fifty percent.

844
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: So if you're if you're the evaluators inside the building,

845
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: you want those questions answered. Honestly, that still doesn't mean

846
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: you have to give up on JJ McCarthy, but it

847
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a reminder of you know,

848
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: what we're doing is actually our system is okay. Still,

849
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: our system is workable, it's functioning. It can function if

850
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: we get functioning performance from the starting quarterback. That's why

851
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: I think on that level, even if you're a mc

852
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: bobo and you don't want to face the truth, you

853
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: kind of need to see. Now, if today Roseberg gets

854
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: sacked six times and he looks as hurried as McCarthy does, well,

855
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: that could mean a couple things. You mean, well, the

856
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: team does have a lot of other issues. It could

857
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: also just mean that we now you've got two young

858
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who just aren't read as ready to play as

859
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: we would like to think. There's a number of ways

860
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: it can go, but I think it's a good litmus

861
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: test to see whether this still has the qualities in

862
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: terms of talent and approach of being an offense that

863
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: should be playing at a higher level than it is

864
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: played at much this much during this season. Have Dan

865
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: research the hot dog story in Ben Johnson? Yeah, one

866
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: of the things I had read was everybody in Chicago

867
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: gets free hot dogs. I don't know the name of

868
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: the hot dog place when he takes his shirt off.

869
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know how that story evolved. Somebody might

870
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: be able to give us more information about it, but

871
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm still telling you he may be hiding behind that,

872
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: But come on, man, he knows the Bears after the

873
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 1: Eagles game. We're at the height of their attention league

874
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: wide in twenty twenty five, right, so he knows everybody's

875
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: going to see this, so come on, there's some vanity there.

876
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: It's got to be. Now again, if you look like

877
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: if your upper body look like that, I guess you

878
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: can blame you for wanting to show it off. But

879
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit that has to be

880
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: a part of it. Even if there are hot dogs

881
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: to be you know, to be that free, howk dogs

882
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: to be given away to people all over the city.

883
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know there's there's allegedly some beef between Laflora

884
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: and Ben Johnson as well. That makes things because in

885
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: his introductory press conferences he said, I love being twice.

886
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now they're playing this week in Green Bay? Right,

887
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: isn't it twice the next three weeks? It is? So

888
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: that's is that getting juicy attention in Green Bay?

889
00:52:59,800 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 5: What?

890
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: And do we know why he said that? Is there

891
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: bad blood or is that him just being fun?

892
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 2: Well, it's similar to the Fleck Wisconsin thing. That's when

893
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: you get But then this I had to find this

894
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 2: audio lafleur was during the draft, was on with McAfee

895
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 2: and kind of threw a shot back at him. Ben

896
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: Johnson is like a two second clip.

897
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, we got a great division. You can't discredit

898
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 5: what the teams have done. And I think Chicago's done

899
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 5: a nice job of adding to their roster, and you

900
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 5: get a good football coach. As he said himself in

901
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson, Wow shots fired.

902
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: So that when was that? This is during the draft.

903
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: Oh so that goes? Okay, So there's a little back

904
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: and forth down there. Well that's good, that's fun. I

905
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: like when those things happen. So he's basically saying he's

906
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: a great coach. Just ask him, Just ask him the

907
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: old one. Just ask him. Thing is that I think

908
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: that game has been flexed, hasn't it? Is it like

909
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: a three twenty five game?

910
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: Nowp next week three twenty five in title Town. I've

911
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: said it before, I'll say it again. Man.

912
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: It's why the National Football League is undefeated. The idea

913
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: that we would be what's the date of that game,

914
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: that's the early December or whatever? The date? Double check

915
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: the date of is the seventh. So the odds before

916
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: the season began that we would be on this date

917
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: talking about a December seven matchup between the Bears and

918
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: Packers as being worthy of being flexed with the two

919
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: teams that are at the top of the division. That's

920
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: why the game is undefeated, because you never completely know

921
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: how the thing is going to play play out. Look

922
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: at the AFC. The AFC is weird right now in

923
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: terms of who's up and who's down. Now again, there's

924
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: still a month to be played and maybe things leaving

925
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: out at that point, but it's what And meanwhile, the

926
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: Vikings are sitting there not knowing whether they have their

927
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: quarterback already all but mathematically eliminated, especially if they lose

928
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: to Seattle. It's cruel when you're on the downside of

929
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: it right now, and so for Vikings fans there's great

930
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: cruelty to it. But the other end of it is

931
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: you think you're meandering sam Old Bears. What are they

932
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: going to be? And again I'm not saying they're on

933
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 1: the verge of a championship, but they are sitting there

934
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: at nine and three now now having to and I

935
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: think it being fair for them to their fans to

936
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: look forward to a date in Green Bay against the

937
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: Packers with something on the line in a way that

938
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: no one could have possibly predicted. That's for sure. All right,

939
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: let's stay on schedule. I got some wool stuff to

940
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: get to is it official regarding Lane Kiffin? Have you

941
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: heard anything via the headlines? We'll double check on Kiffin,

942
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: who's expected to take his services to Louisiana State University.

943
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: The open question is whether he would coach his team

944
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: through the championship tournament. I'm told that everybody is writing

945
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: that that's not going to happen. He's not going to

946
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: be allowed to stay there. I We'll try to get

947
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: some closure there. There've already been some other coaching changes

948
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: that have been made, and maybe that'll open the door

949
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: to a PJ getting another contract extension. All right, there

950
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: is something very weird going on right now, Red Blackmore,

951
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: are you familiar with You may be too young to

952
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: be familiar with the name. Steve Mariucci, former National Football

953
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: League head coach of some renown distinguished career hockey readA

954
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: named after him. That's also true, and he's a regular

955
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 1: analyst on the NFL network these days. And I don't

956
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: think this is a bit. I think this is via

957
00:56:54,840 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: the real NFL network X handle. Steve Marucci predicts that

958
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer will throw for four hundred and

959
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: eighty five yards today. Do you want me to play it. Yeah,

960
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: can you play it. Let's play it. Let's listen to

961
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: it in context, because I think part of it is

962
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: who his partner is, who once through, I believe, for

963
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty four yards in a game. Let's

964
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: let's let's listen.

965
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 4: I know an undrafted quarterback free agent today for the

966
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 4: Vikings that's playing quarterback.

967
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 3: We all know his name Max.

968
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 4: He was old Old Hampshire and then he transferred in

969
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 4: the portal over to the University of Minnesota.

970
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: Rich all right, So he.

971
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 4: Went the camp and you know what, he's going to

972
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 4: smash your record four hundred and eighty five yards today,

973
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 4: and you know what, he's going to be known as.

974
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: The new American underdog. I know, all right. So it's movie.

975
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: It's a little bit. It's a little bit more of

976
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: a bit than it is that he actually means it,

977
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: because his partner is Who's the quarterback he's on with

978
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: in this war. Kurt Warner once through for four hundred

979
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: and eighty four and came out of nowhere right undrafted

980
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: free the whole bit. So in fairness, I'm gonna I'm

981
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to rip Seaford a little bit for shock

982
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: jocking it because he he is, he's the guy who

983
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: brought this to my attention, and he'd written, Okay, we've

984
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: jumped the shark or this is a bit. Either way,

985
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: this game needs to start now. When you hear it,

986
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: doesn't it sound more like he's playing around, he's having

987
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: some fun because of who else is on the set. Now,

988
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: maybe he goes on to Embellish to say, well, I

989
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: think he may not throw for four and eighty five,

990
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: but I think he's got a good chance to have

991
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: a good a pretty good game today. So it may

992
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: be I can't even imagine. I just tweeted out the

993
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: a link to the comment from Auchi, and my comment

994
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: was guards, he takes the over because I think if

995
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: your guards you go well, at least for eighty five.

996
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: That's if it's if that's the over, under I'm going

997
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: over on the four hundred eighty five. And did I,

998
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: by the way, did I spell guards?

999
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 4: He right?

1000
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: I think he spells it with a Y? Now, Yeah,

1001
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: I did I spelled it right? Yeah? I didn't. I

1002
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't use his Twitter handle, but that might well be

1003
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: the case. I mean, here's what's starting to trouble me.

1004
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: When the announcement was made I'm thinking, well, the kids

1005
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: got nothing to lose. Expectations at the quarterback position are

1006
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: sold low that if he just is semi competent, people

1007
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: will be satisfied. Now I'm worried with the way the

1008
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: national media has built up his start. Now there's actual

1009
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: expectations that have been built and are a rising with

1010
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: every hour that goes by. So maybe see if it's right.

1011
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 2: Maybe this game does need to be played before by

1012
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 2: two o'clock it gets to the point where brother is

1013
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 2: going to finish the season is in receiving Most Valuable

1014
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 2: Player of votes in the National Football League. I just

1015
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 2: do you remember not to bring the Wild in this?

1016
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Do you remember when Valstett was first brought up and

1017
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 2: they threw him to the Wolves against Dallas on the

1018
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 2: road and he just got smashed and he sent them

1019
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: back to Iowa. This is different, you could say that,

1020
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: and it's worked out in the long run. And it's

1021
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 2: different because the Vikings have no choice. McCarthy's hurt, he

1022
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: has a concussion, there's no other way to go. The

1023
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Wild had a choice in there, so which makes it

1024
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: a little different. But it feels like it's a really

1025
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: really bad like I wish this was at home against

1026
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 2: the Panthers.

1027
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah for him.

1028
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: We're on the road against the Jets, but it's one

1029
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 2: of the loudest, if not the Laws stadiums against a

1030
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: good team who's vying for playoff seating. So it's just

1031
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 2: a tough task and I feel like we have to

1032
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: keep that in mind within this whole Brosmer situation. We do,

1033
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 2: there's no question about that. A number of people are

1034
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 2: giving me more background on the hot dog thing. Ben

1035
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Johnson taking off his shirt after the game bit. There

1036
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 2: was a pole giving Bears fan this is Chuck next

1037
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: to Hazelden. There was a pole giving Bears fan several

1038
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: choices about what they wanted to see happen in order

1039
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: for them to get the free hot dogs. The top

1040
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 2: choice was seeing Ben Johnson take his shirt off. So

1041
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 2: when Johnson took off his shirt, the free hot dog

1042
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: kicked in. I believe the hot dog stand, at least

1043
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: according to one of the Texters, is called Adam's Rib,

1044
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 2: just down the street from the Dearborn station, across from

1045
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: a five and dime. Parenthetically, he writes old Mash episode reference.

1046
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 2: So that's more information than I had, but that might

1047
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 2: make sense.

1048
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Good thing. Kansas City isn't a hot dog down. Actually,

1049
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be even more dramatic if Andy Reid took

1050
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: a shirt off.

1051
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: That's the point of it. That would be the beauty

1052
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 2: of it. Right, Andy Reid takes It'd be jarring, but

1053
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: it'd be he.

1054
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Would become a folk hero, because that's when it becomes

1055
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: interesting when someone doesn't have the classic chiseled body. Right,

1056
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: it's not a Chris Farley. I mean, it's it's it's

1057
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: that whole I think, mentality and and kind of thinking

1058
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: as well. There is some bitterness from love, the grum

1059
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: gal about I did pick up on it, the the

1060
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: fake Minnesota accent in what we played?

1061
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 5: Do we have?

1062
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Let's play it again? Can play it one more time

1063
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: for those who might have missed it. And you might

1064
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: pick up from Mary Ucci a bit of that fargo ish,

1065
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: maybe a bit patronizing, condescending Minnesota accent.

1066
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 4: I know an undrafted quarterback free agent today for the

1067
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 4: Vikings that's playing quarterback.

1068
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 5: We all know.

1069
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: His name was Old Old Hampshire.

1070
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 4: And then he transferred in the portal over to the

1071
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 4: University of Minnesota. Rich all right, So he went the

1072
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 4: camp and you know what, He's going to smash your

1073
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 4: record four eighty five yards today, and you know what,

1074
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 4: he's going to be known as the new American underdog

1075
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 4: for the record.

1076
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Mary she even though he coached West Coast, he is

1077
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: kind of one. I mean he's Midwestern, right. He was

1078
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: born I believe in Iron Mountain, Michigan, so that's pretty Midwestern.

1079
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: So maybe that's he has always had a Midwestern accent.

1080
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: That sounded a bit exaggerated to me. But he's just

1081
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: having fun with it. He's just trying to make a point.

1082
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I love the grum gal, though you don't put anything

1083
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: by her. She picked up on the number of Minnesotans

1084
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: that they their antenna is always up for the for

1085
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: the fake accent. A couple of people are asking if

1086
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: we're going to name the snonami from over the weekend.

1087
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: We do intend to. We will do that tomorrow, And

1088
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue that the choice is obvious,

1089
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: but frankly, I think that largely depends on how Brozmer

1090
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: plays to get today right. I mean, if he's brilliant,

1091
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty hard not to give the

1092
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: nod to him, even if we wanted to previously give

1093
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the nod to JJ for the on the opposite end

1094
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: of the of the spectrum. But we'll see.

1095
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 2: I still like Snodami Parsons, but I'm told that that's

1096
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 2: not going to happen.

1097
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: It's probably unlikely. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you.

1098
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Marian asterdam Guy writes, had Tracy Clay's yanked off his

1099
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 2: shirt after a win.

1100
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: He'd still be the cofer's coach. That'd be pretty good. Yeah.

1101
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean you could say, is did is the accent

1102
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: that Marucci offered? Is that a Minnesota Is that a

1103
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Fargo accent? Or is that an Upper Peninsula accent? I

1104
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean it it's it's it's got some

1105
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Upper in it. So I think that maybe make make it,

1106
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: in his case, more authentic. He doesn't ordinarily, I think,

1107
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: speak in that exaggerated tone, But as I said, I

1108
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: think he's trying to h to make a point. I'm

1109
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: guessing by the way, we'll have to try to check

1110
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: this tomorrow. I think there's a chance that the ratings

1111
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: for local ratings for Bear for Seahawks Vikings might be

1112
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: the highest of the season, which is crazy given that

1113
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,919
Speaker 1: the team is buried in terms of the playoff chase.

1114
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's I don't think that's crazy.

1115
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Infra circular and social that Prosmyn and Warner are from

1116
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: the same town, same height, unrestricted or you know, undrafted

1117
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: free agents as well. Yeah, it'll be an angle if

1118
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: if he goes anywhere near forty five, then dogs and

1119
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: cats will be living together. There'll be no explanation for

1120
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: there will be no rationale or rhyme or reason for

1121
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the way this game can evolve or change from week

1122
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: to week if he does something that crazy. See again,

1123
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm the idiot. I'd run the ball a lot. But

1124
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: then again, I'm not going to lie to you when

1125
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: I see the way Ben Johnson not tolerates, but loves

1126
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the running game. Ben Johnson loves the running game. I

1127
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: still think that's a fundamental flaw that our coach has.

1128
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I really do, I don't. I think when he does

1129
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: it like he did last week, he does it grudgingly,

1130
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: he says all the right things, but I don't think

1131
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: he appreciates it. Ben Johnson is one of those coaches,

1132
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and I think the same is true of your guy.

1133
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: They not only do it because they think they should,

1134
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: They love it. And again the game is a passing game.

1135
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 4: Now.

1136
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I understand all of that, but I gotta tell you, man,

1137
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: if you're coaching the Chicago and you can make the

1138
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: running game a staple, you know, just just having pride

1139
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna knock, We're gonna have a line that's

1140
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna knock people off the ball, and we're just gonna

1141
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: bruise you into December and into January. He can be

1142
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: coached for life in that town because that does play

1143
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: well to the mentality of that town. And they were

1144
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: what they did. They get it three hundred yards against

1145
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Like I said, they had two one hundred

1146
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: yard rushers. It was crazy. Did you run well against

1147
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: I thought you ran reasonably well in Detroit and Detroit? Yeah, yeah, okay.

1148
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 2: Jacobs was back right couple on the local ratings for

1149
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 2: the Gophers. I think guards he has at least a

1150
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 2: small part of it, because he tweeted, not sure what

1151
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you are all prepared for what's gonna

1152
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 2: happen dot dot dot.

1153
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Don't say you weren't warned dot dot dot. So it

1154
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: sounds like a threat. Yeah, yeah, pretty much, pretty close

1155
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: to it.

1156
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 2: And then if not, now when when running the ball

1157
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 2: now is the perfect with an undrafted free agent quarterback

1158
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Megan's first start. If you don't run it now, you're

1159
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 2: just not going to run it. Both worked at high

1160
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 2: v apparently for eighty five. Let's go, oh, that's too good,

1161
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: that's really good.

1162
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's pause one more break to get into

1163
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: We were on until eleven o'clock today. Vikings pregame Vikings

1164
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Football Sunday will begin at one o'clock. Brozemer time is

1165
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: three o'clock right on the dot. And by the way,

1166
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: if we win the toss, usually KC likes to defer,

1167
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: he should take the ball right out of the gate,

1168
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: give the ball, put the ball in Brosmer's hands. Four

1169
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,560
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five yards. I would think, would that

1170
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: be the most yardage by a quarterback in his first start? Ever?

1171
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: It would have to be, wouldn't it. I wonder why?

1172
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Let's look up during the break top passing yardage performance

1173
01:08:56,120 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in his very first game and see

1174
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: whether Brosmer, Uh, if we can project the broser might

1175
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: have a chance to shatter textter Robbert. If Brozmer pulls

1176
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: off the shaker today, could we assemble a statue to

1177
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: be erected not at TCO but in Deky Town by

1178
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Unfortunately, PJ might use this as a way

1179
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: to get another three million dollars out of the U

1180
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: hashtag trade offs unofficially. I don't know if you did

1181
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: any research during the break seven six three, guy rights

1182
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton through for four hundred and twenty two

1183
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: yards in his first game. Is that what you have?

1184
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 2: That's what I have as well. That was September eleven,

1185
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 2: twenty eleven. I have no recollection of that game behind

1186
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 2: him as someone by the name of Jim Hardy in

1187
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 2: nineteen forty eight for the La Rams four h six yards.

1188
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't think they can build a

1189
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: statue for Brozemer and Dickie Town because they're already erecting

1190
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: one for PJ.

1191
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: Fleck going above five four out of five years. Can't

1192
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: help yourself, can you? You just can't help yourself. That's impressive.

1193
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I did. I wonder if they won the game four

1194
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: to twenty two in your first game? Is pretty well?

1195
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton when he was good, was it was very good.

1196
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: If people are wondering what the hell we're talking about here,

1197
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: just joining us Steve mary Yucci, who of course is

1198
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: a former National FOOTB League head coach now is an

1199
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: analyst at the NFL Network. Kind of predicted, but with

1200
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek. I think that Max Brosmer will throw

1201
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: for four hundred and eighty five yards today. If you

1202
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: heard it. I don't think he necessarily meant it, but

1203
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: now it's getting the attention that one might expect. I

1204
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: also reposted a tweet from Caribbean soul sixty seven Brett

1205
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: listening to Sunday sermons from the French West Indies Skull.

1206
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: We've gotten a lot of good tweets and emails and

1207
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: texts from some exotic vacation locations. This I think is

1208
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 1: the first I remember from the French West Indies. I

1209
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: don't even know where the fresh the French West Indies

1210
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: are other than in the West Indies, I guess, but

1211
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: it looks like a really nice exotic I see a

1212
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: palm tree in the background. It's like there might be

1213
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: a glass of Veno, a JBL speaker, one of those

1214
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: wireless speakers, a couple of nice lounge chairs. Looks like

1215
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: a little height of guardsy last week. That's true. It

1216
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: looks like a little pool in the foreground, and then

1217
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: in the background is the ocean that looks nice.

1218
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 4: Man.

1219
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: That's the obvious question be why in the hell would

1220
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: you be listening to us? Wolves, By the way, stave

1221
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: off further disaster by knocking off the Celtics at home

1222
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 1: last night.

1223
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 2: I think it was a four o'clock start, if I'm

1224
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 2: not mistaken, maybe five, and it sounded bad.

1225
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I was actually driving, so I didn't see much of

1226
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that game, but it looked like the Wolves well blew

1227
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: all of a ten point lead again late and got bailed,

1228
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: in this case by a Mike Conley corner three that

1229
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: sort of allowed them to breathe a little bit. But

1230
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 1: it appeared again that there was at least one bad turnover,

1231
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,480
Speaker 1: a couple of missed free throws, a couple of lousy possessions,

1232
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: and one really bad foul on the defensive end that

1233
01:12:55,880 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: offered up free throws to the Celtics, and the Wolves

1234
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: survived it. That's the good news. We're going to talk

1235
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: to Johnny about this again on Monday, because he had

1236
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: a piece just in the dropped in the last week,

1237
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: basically saying that Anthony Edwards they've decided Anthony Edwards is

1238
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: their point guard, and we've talked about this. I don't

1239
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: like it. I think my guess is they're doing it

1240
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: more out of necessity than out of desire. But I

1241
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: am very concerned about what that poortends moving forward for

1242
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: this club. If they decide to stick with that approach

1243
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: at the end of games against really good teams, which

1244
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: are the teams you tend to see in the postseason,

1245
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely going to come back and bite

1246
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: him in the butt. I really do. I understand Edwards

1247
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: has gotten better in that regard, and I know the

1248
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: league is set up in a way where there are

1249
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot of scoring point guards anymore, but I still

1250
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: think they are better, more natural orchestrators than he is.

1251
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to have I think we're going to

1252
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: try to have. We've got a lot of catch a

1253
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: lot of catching up to do, both in the toy

1254
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: department and outside of it this week after kind of

1255
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: a funky week last week with the holiday, but I

1256
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: want to try to get Double T Trent Tucker on

1257
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: as well. I heard Tucker I'm in the Zone yesterday,

1258
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: and it's very clear that Double T is also concerned

1259
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: about trying to ask Edwards to do more than he

1260
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: really should be should have to do, and it's leading

1261
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: too much to desperation. Shots by Edwards. Now, he hit

1262
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: a big one yesterday, but do you count on that

1263
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs all the time? I know great players

1264
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,879
Speaker 1: do that some and he can do that. He's concerned

1265
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: about the point guard position. The head coach after the

1266
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: game made it sound like, well, it's on me for

1267
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: not maybe using Conley more at the end of games.

1268
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: Do they go back to that. Mike has been up

1269
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: and down again this season. Some of the analytics are

1270
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: not kind to him. So I don't know what the

1271
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: answer is at this point, but I'm a little concerned,

1272
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and I already on record is saying I don't want

1273
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: to mess with John Morant, and I don't even know

1274
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: who else might be out there available at some point

1275
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: as this season goes along. But I am not convinced

1276
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: this works trying to make I just think it's asking

1277
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: too much of Edwards, not just at this young age

1278
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 1: because he's young age wise, but he's been in the

1279
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: league long enough now. It's just more. I don't even

1280
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 1: think it's fair. The level of responsibility in burden that's

1281
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: put on him in that regard, and I still don't

1282
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: think it gives the team and even Edwards the best

1283
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 1: chance to score in the most efficient ways at the

1284
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: end of games. So I'll be curious to get Johnny's

1285
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 1: view on that. Tomorrow. I'm sure we'll certainly talk about

1286
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Brosmer's four hundred and fifty six yard passing performance as well.

1287
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: That definitely will be part of the deal. The Mooch

1288
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: brozemer Bid is a segment they do called hot takes.

1289
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 1: They make over the Top Bowl predictions you know, necessarily

1290
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: think are true, but just for fun. Yeah, it's fairly

1291
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: clear that in this case they were playing around just

1292
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. But as I said earlier, what's been

1293
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: fascinating just in the last forty eight hours is the

1294
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: national perspective on Brozmer seems almost more Pollyannish than the

1295
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: local take. And that's saying something because you can almost

1296
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: expect to get it locally where there's the gopher factor

1297
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and there's so much more so, But even nationally there's

1298
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: been a lot of good conversation, and look, I've said

1299
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: my view on Brosmer has been I liked him a

1300
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 1: lot at the University of Minnesota. I liked his I

1301
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: liked his accuracy, and I liked his demeanor, and I

1302
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: did like the fact that he's seen to be a

1303
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: guy who just knew where to where to get the ball,

1304
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: and he wasn't on a great team, So you say, well,

1305
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:26,799
Speaker 1: could that project into something? So when the Vikings announced

1306
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 1: they were bringing him in, I wasn't buying Brozman Brownstones,

1307
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 1: but I was in. I said, yeah, I'd take a

1308
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: look at him. I definitely take a look at him.

1309
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Not because he's local, but because I've seen him. I've

1310
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 1: watched more of his games, and I like what I see,

1311
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: and weirder things have happened in the National Football League

1312
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: somewhere down the road. On the other hand, I was

1313
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: very much in the corner that said you got to

1314
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: you got to move up to get JJ. He's got

1315
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: a chance to be your guy. You have to go

1316
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: after it with him, for sure. So it wasn't like

1317
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: I viewed, well, just for we got the McCarthy part

1318
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: of this, Now just turn the team over to Max Brosmer.

1319
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to be quite that simple.

1320
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: Circumstances obviously have changed pretty dramatically to put us in

1321
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: the place we're in. And there are a number of

1322
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: occasions in National Football League history. Who's the forty nine

1323
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: ers starting quarterback right now? Rock Party? How did he

1324
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: get make How did he emerge? He emerged because of injury,

1325
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: and the Niners had no expectation of making him the guy,

1326
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: but he just kept playing well enough that they said, well,

1327
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of forcing our hand to this. Does that

1328
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,560
Speaker 1: mean Brozemer can do the same thing. No, But what

1329
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: it does indicate is weirder things have happened in the

1330
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: National Football League.

1331
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 2: So for me, it was, yeah, bring him in. Maybe

1332
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 2: he'll end up being an option for you see how

1333
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 2: he does in camp. And by all accounts, he was

1334
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 2: doing well in camp.

1335
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: So I wasn't buying up Roseman Brownstones to the degree

1336
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: that guards he was, but I certainly was intrigued by

1337
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 1: what I thought, eventually, you know, might have a chance

1338
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: to take a look at and see what he might

1339
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: be able to bring and maybe he could be at

1340
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: some point a National Football leagu quarterback. So we'll got

1341
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: our first look today. And again, the beauty of it

1342
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: should be expectations after McCarthy's played this badly should be low,

1343
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: especially when your factor in, as you mentioned earlier, who

1344
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: you're playing and where you're playing, the Seattle Seahawks, where

1345
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: if he carves out something pretty good or something that

1346
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: looks serviceable, I am ready to say at this point

1347
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: enough has happened that going forward, the Vikings have to

1348
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: consider all options for twenty twenty six. And that was

1349
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: but that includes, by the way, McCarthy. I'm not throwing

1350
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: him out with the bathwater yet, but I'm saying that

1351
01:19:59,280 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: you can't.

1352
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 5: I don't.

1353
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm not ready, and I hope the Vikings are ready

1354
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: to anoint anybody to the position the way they anoint

1355
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: for next year, next offseason, the way they anointed McCarthy

1356
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. I think that point, at this point,

1357
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: that would be a mistake. In fact, I think it

1358
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: would be an unfortunate message to send to the other

1359
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: players as as well. At some point, you just let

1360
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: the chips fall, throw people out there, and if it

1361
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: creates a little bit more of a circus than you intended,

1362
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: so you pay your coach the big bucks allegedly to

1363
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: deal with exactly that sort of thing. So we'll see

1364
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 1: how that goes. A couple more texts Bradshawn Bryant cafe

1365
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: in text line, which is actually working at this point.

1366
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: Why can't Max be the next party? The comparison's close

1367
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,679
Speaker 1: four to five year starter decent program. Neither blew Away

1368
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: and the ath lesson a scale, but smarts are underrate. Yeah,

1369
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: so I think I just said weirder things have taken place.

1370
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: But what if we've learned anything. I think we've learned

1371
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,639
Speaker 1: that there can be no certainty just on the basis

1372
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: of projections. And right now, the number one thing that

1373
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: Brozemer has going for him is the slate is clean.

1374
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 1: As a pro We've never seen a wart on his game.

1375
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: We've not seen him throw a single interception. Maybe he won't,

1376
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be the first quarterback in the history of

1377
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: the league to never throw a pick rights as a

1378
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: professional player. But that's the classic quarterbacks in a backup

1379
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: quarterback syndrome, where you just project the best of what

1380
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 1: you think he represents without considering some of the limitations

1381
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: as well. That's kind of the position that he's in

1382
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: right now. And that's why you can't get irrational on

1383
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: the BIT. We can have fun with the bit, which

1384
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: can't get irrational with the bit. Flimflam. This is controversial.

1385
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: I sent you a tweet from the Vikings versus Lines

1386
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: game for the number one seed last January in which

1387
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,919
Speaker 1: I call for the Vikings to trade AOC for Ben Johnson.

1388
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: This was during all the KOC trade rumors, but I

1389
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: was ninety nine percent serious. That game was the icing

1390
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: on the cake for me that Ben Johnson's a better

1391
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 1: in game coach going in year five of KOC and

1392
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: indication he will run the ball less. Maybe you can

1393
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: ask him at training camp again. Ben Johnson took a

1394
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: dozen games to get both his backs over one hundred yards.

1395
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: Bears can suddenly beat anybody well Again, I will say

1396
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: this in defense of KOC to an extent. You have

1397
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: to play to your strengths. Not all teams are equal.

1398
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: Part of the reason that Ben Johnson is going the

1399
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: route he is is he's got a line that looks

1400
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 1: even better I think at run blocking than pass blocking.

1401
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: He's got a veteran running back who's shown a second

1402
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: life more than I thought he had in him in

1403
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Swift and then he's got the kid, the rookie who's

1404
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: been very, very good. Now you can also argue, though,

1405
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason that one two punch looks so potent.

1406
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,560
Speaker 1: Is Johnson has allowed it to develop? How do you

1407
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: allow it to develop? You keep handing the ball off,

1408
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: you get stubborn about it. And we have talked about

1409
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: the fact that Ben Jonson has no difficulty running the

1410
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 1: ball on second and ten, none, He'll take six, He'll

1411
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: take then third and four. And I don't think that's

1412
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: an approach that our guy appreciates. Now, you know, and

1413
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: you could say right now, they do have the vikings,

1414
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: do have two running backs where you could evolve into

1415
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: more of that if you wanted to. And I've said

1416
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: all along with aj that's the approach that he should take.

1417
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: He didn't really take it in a significant way, I

1418
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: think until that last game, and it didn't do him

1419
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: any good because the accuracy issues are so bad with

1420
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 1: McCarthy and I will hope that he does a decent

1421
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: amount of that with Brozman. The comeback to that as always, well,

1422
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: if they've got eight guys the line of scrimmage, though

1423
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: that screams exploit it to an extent. That's true, But

1424
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: I saw the Eagles bring their safety down a decent

1425
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: amount at least one of them, and the Bear still

1426
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: run the ball. That's the oldest. We're gonna keep doing

1427
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: it until you prove you can stop us. Not by

1428
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 1: the number of people you have the line of scrimmage,

1429
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,720
Speaker 1: but whether you stop the actual play. And I think

1430
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: that has to enter into the equation as well. Winning

1431
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: is often is zagging when everyone else is zigging. Ben

1432
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Jonson is smart to push it well. He pushed the

1433
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 1: run in Detroit. I mean, he was a guy, and

1434
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't know again if that was philosophy or belief

1435
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: that that's one of our strengths, but I think it

1436
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: has helped Caleb Williams. I absolutely think part of the

1437
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: reason he looks like a better quarterback is he's making

1438
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 1: quicker decisions and there's no question about that. And he's

1439
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,799
Speaker 1: not facing as much as you know, third and sixteen

1440
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: because last year's been last year's Caleb Woims was getting

1441
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: act on the first two plays and sometimes with face

1442
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: third and sixteen or third and twenty, and then had

1443
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: to run around with his like I had, you know,

1444
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: like his U chicken with his head cut off from

1445
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: time to time. My in laws are from Iron Mountain Minister, Michigan,

1446
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: in their accent is much more Minnesotan than Minnesotan's. I

1447
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: haven't spent any time up there, but I will indeed

1448
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 1: believe that Andrew here. Every time there's a snowstorm, good

1449
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: things happened for the Purple. The Minneapolis miracle happened during

1450
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: a snowstorm. Max Brosner will throw for three hundred plus

1451
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: yards today, three hundred plus yards speed.

1452
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean to be a hell. Would it not

1453
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 2: be a hell of a story if indeed that took place?

1454
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 2: What else did I say?

1455
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to?

1456
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 5: Oh?

1457
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 2: Is Lane Kiffin gone from ole Miss yet? Has he

1458
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: taken the LSU job? So sources are that he's going

1459
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 2: to take the lsued gig. LSU was expected to hire

1460
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 2: Kifing away from ole Miss Sunday, sources told be for letter.

1461
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: And he's assumed that he will not be allowed by

1462
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: old mister coach in the postseason. I believe, I think

1463
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: although somebody said there was a team meeting schedule for

1464
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: I think nine am Central that got postponed for three hours,

1465
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: and so there was some speculation what might that mean?

1466
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know, but there have already been a

1467
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: number of and wouldn't want him arounders with the transfer portal.

1468
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: The other thing I meant to get to, Well, it's

1469
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles decide to go for two rather than kick

1470
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: the extra point that would have put them eight down

1471
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: to the Bears. Put me in the camp that, no

1472
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: matter what the analytics people say, says you should have

1473
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: kicked the single extra point to cut it to eight.

1474
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: So it's a one score game. The analytics people say, no,

1475
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: you go for to both times every time. God bless you.

1476
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: I'm not going to dispute that you've done the research

1477
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: of the statistics on it. I'm just telling you these

1478
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:04,719
Speaker 1: players are not a robots. They're human and as such,

1479
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to tell me that you do not

1480
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: lose a little of your pizazz and zest when you

1481
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 1: go for two and fail. And now it's a two

1482
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 1: score game, with that less time, that little time left

1483
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: in it, I'll a hundred times out of one hundred

1484
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: kick the extra point cut it to eight, knowing I

1485
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: know I'm still going to have to make the two

1486
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 1: point conversion and there's no guarantee on that either. I

1487
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: would still rather have a one score game under that

1488
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: circumstance and take that kind of a risk, and in fact, well,

1489
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: depending again about the amount of the amount of time

1490
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: you have left, you can still at that point do

1491
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: the on side kick, which ultimately they had to do

1492
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 1: this time early because they were down nine.

1493
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 4: So I.

1494
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: Don't know what the debate was publicly on that, but

1495
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: put me firmly in the camp I'm one scorer. I'm

1496
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: going to go one score game for the emotions of it.

1497
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: For my team, all I got to do is get

1498
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 1: the ball back once, score another touchdown, not easy, but possible,

1499
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 1: and then get a two point conversion, don't you.

1500
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the theory is you have to go for

1501
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 2: two either way, so may as well go for it

1502
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 2: there either way. I just like the it's a one

1503
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,719
Speaker 2: score game, anything can happen, instead of the oh.

1504
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: Gosh, yeah, that's because I think I don't again, I

1505
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: think it takes the steam and the starch out of

1506
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 1: your momentum, out of what your team feels like in

1507
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: terms of their sense of hope at that point. Thank

1508
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: you for the texts, thank you for the savagery, whatever

1509
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: was on your mind, and we enjoyed spending two hours

1510
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: with you. Because the vikings, of course, are at three

1511
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: o'clock start this afternoon. Vikings Football Sunday starts at one

1512
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: o'clock and we hope that you will find this a

1513
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: very satisfying day. For all of you Max Brozemer fans

1514
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: out there, we'll talk to you tomorrow to review every

1515
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: bit of it, beginning at three o'clock
