You asked me 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: the question yesterday, I will ask you for the Wild 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: is it time. 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 4: For panic. 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: Or patience? 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: How about pansies? I would for me still say patients. 37 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: I know that those in the basketball community who are weary, 38 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: sick and tired of being sick and tired of common 39 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: man picking on their favorite team almost day and day out, 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: just relentless onslaught of negativity and criticism toward the hometown Cagers. 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: They can't understand it. They say, Well, this team has 42 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: been in the Western Conference Finals two years in a row. 43 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: Your wild club has been a terrible team in a 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: terrible city, with terrible fans, in a terrible stadium. I 45 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: just look at what's happening this season, and you know 46 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: last year was last year. That's all great, it was good. 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: And by the way, you got blown out in the 48 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: Western Conference finals. Both times our cry from UH being 49 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: better than Oklahoma City and Dallas, you were completely outclasped 50 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: and destroyed. I mean you know they were You had 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: the you had the best teams in the league, and 52 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: then you were in that next level, but you were 53 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: quite a ways away from them. And I just like 54 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: when I look at this season, the wild has been 55 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: Ever since a rocky start, they've been other than this 56 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: three game losing the Street. This is the worst. That's 57 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: why some people are starting a panic. What's happened to 58 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 2: the club. This team has been very consistent. They win 59 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: way more than they lose. They get contributions from all 60 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: sorts of players. They have stars in the main team. 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: So I tend to have a bit more patience with 62 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: this team. Now you lose to the Blackhawks, then maybe 63 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: we'll revisit it tomorrow. They played a night as I just. 64 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Said, that's tonight on the fans six thirty. 65 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: And who did the Wolves play tonight against Phoenix? 66 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: Right? 67 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: Yes, they do at all? 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: Right now, I think the Wolves are currently in the 69 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: sixth Were you going to ask the wolves here or 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: I was, oh, okay, well then so no, I would 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: say for the for the wild, I would say for me, 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: it's still patients. 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: Question number two, it's now time to take an in 74 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: depth look at the welfare of the wolves. 75 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: That is one of the better ones.

There ain't no cure 86 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: for the summertime losing, right, no cure for avatar. Pecking 87 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: order of the teams I enjoy. You know, you know 88 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: NBA is not mine. I think that's everybody understand that 89 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: my favorite sport just doesn't do a lot for It's okay, now, 90 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: you know once you get to the playoffs, it gets 91 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: better because I think teams from the say, hey, time 92 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: now to ear an art keep and you know, once 93 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: you get to the place to figure out. As long 94 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: as I'm here, I mean, as we'll try really hard 95 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: and try to see if we're gonna win a world championship. 96 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: But it's said the Vikings, I'd rather win the big 97 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: game than win the NBA title. Yeah, for me, it 98 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: would be. You know, the Vikings have been around for 99 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: so many more years, and the heartbreak there, you know, 100 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: four big games all came, you know, with losses, all 101 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: the NFC championship games, some of them close. I mean 102 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: even that one of us, Philadelphia weren't that far out 103 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: of that game. All we need was a touchdown, two 104 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: point conversion and on side kick, a touchdown, a two 105 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: point conversion, an on side kick, a touchdown, a two 106 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: point conversion, and an onside kick. So the misery has 107 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: been there since I was a kid. The Wolves have 108 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: just been around since eighty nine, and yeah that was 109 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: you know, and they weren't heartbreaking losses in the in 110 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals. They just got destroyed and there's 111 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: no heartbreak there. It's like just how demoralizing. So yeah, 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: I think I'd rather have wool of itis than Avatar 113 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: for sure. 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: Follow up question, I want to go back to this 115 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: talkback that we aired from ralph in New Jersey. 116 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, from Jersey. 117 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 5: They come and this is Valve from New Jersey. Let 118 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 5: me just say the signing of Kyler Murray was the 119 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 5: best signing Minnesota could ever do. He'll open up Jefferson, 120 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 5: Addison Hockinson. 121 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: We're all over the field this year. 122 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: We went in the North, and we went in a 123 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 5: playoff game, and maybe for the show. 124 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: We have Avatar, right, yep? Is there? I mean maybe 125 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: this is just a toss up to the Senior Staff 126 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Writing Committee, but I feel like there has to be another. 127 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's diagnosed with something because the optimism this 128 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: time of year. I mean, we're winning the North, We're 129 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: winning the big Game, it's everything. It's almost the antithesis 130 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: of Avatar. 131 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: He's done some kind of a vaccine. I think I 132 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but yeah, he's well again. 133 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: It's diagnosed him. It's there's an old saying I just 134 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: made up. Hope springs eternal, and all teams sell hope. 135 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: That's what they do. You hope they have a good draft. 136 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: You hope they have a good free agency signing period. 137 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: You hope they have a good have good odors. You 138 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: hope the the mini camps go well. You hope you 139 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: hope training camp and preseason are great, and you hope 140 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: you have a great regular season, and you hope you 141 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: you advance through the postseason play all the way to 142 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: the big game. So people get excited. I mean, I 143 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: even told you I alluded to a story from the 144 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: Athletic that appeared this morning on my handheld, which double's 145 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: ass and they're talking about this could be a match 146 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: made in Heaven Kyler Murray and Kevin O'Connell, and maybe 147 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: it will be. You know, O'Connor will have to tinker 148 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: with his approach to playing football. I mean, you know, 149 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: I again, I I just it was. I don't know 150 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 2: if you saw the story, but it is so inner 151 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: football that I my kind of glaze over when it 152 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: starts talking about all the different types of patterns and 153 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 2: all of the blocking schemes and all those things. I 154 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: don't I don't understand it. I think sometimes we make 155 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: football too complicated. It's blocking, tackling, throwing, catching, run, and scoring, 156 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: kicking the whole thing. But you know, I guess Murray 157 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: has been successful throwing long, throwing out patterns, post patterns, 158 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: and we used to call them flag patterns whatever they 159 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: call them nowadays. So yeah, and he's got a strong arm, 160 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, I would suppose he might have to make 161 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: a couple of adjustments. Certainly the coach will have the 162 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: change of his game plan some but we will see how. 163 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: And it takes more than just a quarterback and a coach. 164 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great head start. If you don't 165 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: have a you don't have a top flight quarterback, you 166 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: better have one of the best defenses in pro footballer. 167 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: You are doing for failure, right, And so maybe the 168 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: maybe uh Murray and O'Connor will be a match made 169 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 2: in heaven ball. After we see question number three. 170 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: My game, let's win this game the California It's now 171 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 4: time to take an in depth look at the state 172 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: of the school. 173 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: You alluded to it earlier. But there's NFL rumors that 174 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: uh JJ McCarthy, Uh, the Browns, Chargers and Rams have 175 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: reportedly called the vikings about JJ McCarthy. Someone did say 176 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: they saw that nationally well, so it must be real. 177 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: Well, no, I don't know, but just had a question 178 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 2: whether or not, so it could be. 179 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: So my question is, if you're the Vikings, would you 180 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: have JJ McCarthy. 181 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: Stay or go? Well, I would trade them for Herbert, yeah, immediately. 182 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 2: I would trade him for Shador and I would trade 183 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: them for Stafford. Yeah, I would trade them immediately. Now, 184 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: those guys aren't what you're trading for. I don't know. 185 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: I mean there's part of me that you know, because 186 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: especially after we saw with what Sam Darnold did, I 187 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: would think it would leave most Viking fans and even 188 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: the organization itself a little little leary about being real 189 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: cocky and going, you know here and his chance as 190 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: free agent. Let's Sam walk. You watch what we can 191 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 2: do with J. J McCarthy, and then you see what happened, 192 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: and then you and then it's you know, I had 193 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: had darnl just been okay, it wouldn't have been that big 194 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: of a idea. But he won the big game. And 195 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: so you know, depending upon what your offer, but not 196 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: what are you going to get for him. It's not 197 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: like I don't think any of those teams are going 198 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: to offer but number one draft pick her first round pick. No, 199 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 2: they're going to offer We'll give you a sixth and 200 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: a backup defensive back and maybe a h you know, 201 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: bag of k balls for kicking. And then you go, well, 202 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's because the kid has one. 203 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: Wherever he's been, he's got he's shown and they've been 204 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: very brief, but he's shown flashes a pretty good play, 205 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: so he would have to be it'd have to be 206 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: quite the I don't know if I would. I don't 207 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: think I would, because again, getting a six round pick 208 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 2: is not that's not franchise changing. So I'd keep them 209 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: and see what happens is what I would do. 210 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of five questions, well 211 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four. 212 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: More controversial vikings.

By the way, it's the Crown. 240 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: It's college basketball. Crown is the name of the tournament 241 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: that the Gophers have accepted a bid to. It's like 242 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: I say, it's literally eight teams I think, is what 243 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: it is, which is eight too many, I think, And 244 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: just there's and you know what it's. It's harmless. It's 245 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: it's not as though. I don't know if it's going 246 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: to be televised, but if it is, there's enough television 247 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: stations out there. There are hundreds, hundreds, literally hundreds of 248 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: televisions you can air it on. I'm trying to find 249 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: the text message, Oh here it is, This one says, 250 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: does this station even know that there's a little something 251 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: called the World Baseball Classic going on finals tonight? I've 252 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: heard of it in Passing. 253 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: You don't like international sport. 254 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess. I guess that's part of it. 255 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: I've never I mean, side's a Ryder Cut. Maybe no, 256 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: it does nothing for either, Yeah, does nothing. It's okay 257 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: when it's at Hazeltine as the official and official ambassador 258 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: of Minnesota Golf Bible, goroop it it's blessing. It's all right. 259 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: I've told people golf on site is hard, especially Ryder Cup, 260 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: because man, it's you know, I guess you're just there 261 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: for the party.

You're 263 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: not going to follow it because there are literally not hundreds, 264 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: but thousand, thousands of people that are trying to follow that. Yeah, 265 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: I mean again, I know it's probably I don't think 266 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: it's unpatriotic that I didn't care about the gold medal 267 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: game between Canada and the United States. You know, I 268 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: watched the third Piers fun but I a bunch of 269 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: rich millionaire hockey players.

What 275 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: do you think of that? 276 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 277 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, what about what about the NHL? What about the 278 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: regular We're pausing the regular season. You don't have to 279 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: worry about it, really, And you mean, if I do real, well, 280 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: I might be able to get an endorsement on being 281 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: on the gold medal team and my agent finds me one. Yeah, 282 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: so I can even make more money off Well, I 283 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: guess yeah, I'll play and then they win and okay, 284 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: great World Baseball Classic. Now I will tell you this. 285 00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: Here's a controversial view of it that's interesting. This is 286 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: an Associated Press story. Ronald Bloom writes it for AP. 287 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: Headline says Aaron Judge Hale's World Baseball Classic crowds as 288 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 2: bigger and better than the World Series. He says, the crowds, 289 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: he didn't say the actual game itself. Daylight Miami, on 290 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 2: a night when all stars and future Hall of famers 291 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: thrilled fans in each other until the final out, Aaron 292 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: Judge proclaimed the World Baseball Classic had grown into the 293 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 2: sports biggest event. He said the World Series. I was 294 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: in the crowd here. The crowd we had when we 295 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 2: played against Mexico is bigger and better than the World Series. 296 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: The passion that these fans have, representing their country, representing 297 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 2: some of their favorite players, there's nothing like it. I 298 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: think a lot of it has to do with the 299 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: booze consume, but that's just me. I think that helps 300 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: fuel the fervor. It fuels the fervor for the games, 301 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: and there is something to be said, you know, I'm 302 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: really patriotic when it comes to like WW two, World 303 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: War two, you know one, it's like the fight for 304 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: freedom of Western civilization. Yeah, I'm all in, right, But 305 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: when it's just a sporting event, it's okay. But I 306 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: just liked me some World series and big games and 307 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: major championships for golf. So and to answer his question, 308 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: I do know what's going on. That's why I just 309 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 2: stumbled across this story. It's sad. I was actually gonna 310 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 2: use it yesterday and forgot to get to it. I 311 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: actually read the headline wrong until just now because I 312 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: thought he said it was bigger than the World Series, 313 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: and I was going to say, well, the World Baseball 314 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: Classics not bigger than the World Series. You can call 315 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: it that if you want. But he's saying the crowds 316 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: and I wasn't there, but I bet the crowds probably 317 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: are more fired up for it, though I don't know. 318 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: Five minutes after the greatest Game seven and World Series history, 319 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: I was on the field slapping Big Blackjack Morris on 320 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: the back and that crowd is feverite pitch man I 321 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: and that was that was as an electric atmosphere is 322 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: I've ever been and I mean even more so than 323 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: I mean, there was tension for three plus hours, you know, 324 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: just you know, hanging on every pitch. I don'tize everybody 325 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 2: hanging on every pitch of the World Baseball Classic. I mean, 326 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they are, and maybe the fans are, 327 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 2: maybe the players are, and if you like it, more 328 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: power to you. But there's reason it's played dur in 329 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 2: spring training because it's not the World Series, you know, 330 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 2: and if you know, and again, it takes every kind 331 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: of people to make what life's about. You know, who 332 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: did that song? 333 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: The guess who? 334 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: Why would I have to guess? I know i'm asking 335 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: the question. I don't have to guess who. 336 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: No, I'm saying guess who. 337 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 2: Well, my guess wouldn't be a guest do It wouldn't 338 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: be a guess because I know, so, I don't even 339 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: know why the hell you're asking me that it's Robert Palmer, 340 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 2: the late Robert Palmer. It takes every kind of people 341 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: to make what it takes, every kind of fan World 342 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: Baseball Classic fan. 343 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I've been to a World Baseball Classic game. 344 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: Oh you did, I'm one of your many travels. Did 345 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: you fly there? 346 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: No, because I went to college in Florida and the 347 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,239 Speaker 1: games are in Miami. So we just drove down and uh, 348 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: it's a crowded fever pitch. Well, I'll say it was 349 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: top five loudest crowds I've ever heard, really, but it was. 350 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: So it's in Miami. It's US versus the Dominican. I 351 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: think we were maybe even though it was in Miami, 352 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: maybe we were the two percent of Red, White and Blue. 353 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 2: Were you champion USA? USA? 354 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: Five people? Yes, we were, but it was ninety eight percent. 355 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: And I can't remember who someone blew a save and 356 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: for the US or the Dominican of the US in 357 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the Dominican scored up runs. 358 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: Play? Do we have any players in the World Baseball 359 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: Classic Byron Buxton? 360 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: Buxton is point Buxton plays for them. I thought I 361 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: saw that Joe Ryan. 362 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 2: I thought he yeah, But I think Joe got bitter. 363 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: Did I see a story where they decided not to 364 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: play pitch him in a game or something? And I 365 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: think he was annoyed by it. 366 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: I thought he got snubbed. 367 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, the snub. I maybe he wasn't annoyed. 368 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say he was annoyed, but I was snubbed anyways. 369 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: That was so that was fun. I just like international 370 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: sport because I mean, like the World Series. Yeah, we 371 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: find out that the Dodgers spent the most money, Well 372 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: that's that's fantastic, you know, but like. 373 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little but the team that spends the 374 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 2: most money doesn't always helps. But they don't always win 375 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 2: the World Series. But I know what you're saying. 376 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but we can find out like the Ryder Cup 377 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: and find out which country produces the best golfers. And 378 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm included in that because I'm an American golfer. That's 379 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: why I tell myself before I go to bed. 380 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, this. 381 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Does nothing for you, That's okay. I like golf. 382 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: I like the individual sports best. Yeah, And to me, 383 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 2: golf is an individual sports, not a team sports. That's 384 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: why I live is failing because nobody cares about the 385 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 2: thumbers or whatever they call the crushers. Yeah, you got 386 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 2: four guys and it's like so so I don't know. 387 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 2: But yeah, So just to respond, I do know that 388 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 2: there is the World Baseball Classic.

And now we've 422 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 6: got our fine Irish lad, Kyler McMurray is fine lad indeed, 423 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 6: and he's gonna take us to that pot of gold 424 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 6: also known as a Lombardi Trophy.

It 433 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 2: is right here ready Yeah, wait, hold on, I hit 434 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: the play I got regot the time. Hmm, may give 435 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: me a second. I'm struggling on to revert to all. Also, 436 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: you don't have to play that, it's not that long. 437 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 7: Hey coming, I've heard on national shows and even on 438 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 7: like Chad Harbin locally, that we should just trade him 439 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 7: and be done with. 440 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: Well, let's stop there for a second. If Chad Harman 441 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: says it right, I mean you need to go no further. 442 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 7: Hey common, I've heard on national shows and even onlike 443 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 7: Chad Harbin locally, that we should just trade him and 444 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 7: be done with JJ. 445 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. You know, he hasn't played well enough. 446 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 7: If his feelings can't get hurt, if Murray blows up, 447 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 7: we can't afford him. He'll sign with somebody next year 448 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 7: for a big contract. Quarterbacks get hurt constantly. You need 449 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 7: two of them. We're keeping them. We're not trade them. 450 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 7: It's ridiculous. Nobody's given us a first or even a 451 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 7: second pick. 452 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 2: Thanks by, and I completely agree with the text menasger 453 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: all due respect to my good friend Chad Hartman. Though, 454 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: if Chad can get me an honorary membership to win 455 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: Song Farm, I'm all. I agree with Chad comes. No, 456 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: it's I know that the McCarthy thing has been to 457 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: this point. It's, let's face it, it's been a disaster. 458 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: There's no other way to phrase it. It's been a disaster, 459 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 2: particularly when you look at the other quarterbacks that were 460 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 2: drafted in the same draft. I know Jaden was hurt 461 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: last year, but his rookie year he was spectacular. He 462 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: took the team to the NFC Championship game, played very well. 463 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams his first year a bit of a struggle, 464 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 2: but I think we learned there probably more had to 465 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: do with the program he was in head coach, didn't 466 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 2: have a lot to work with. He was pretty good 467 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: last year. You know, it looks like to me, the 468 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: sky's the limited mean of it. I was nominated by 469 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: a number of people for PST and I was sometimes 470 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: I just like to say things because I like to 471 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: be like those controversial talk show hosts that just blurred 472 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 2: out stuff that's preposterous, but it gets some attention, right, 473 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: you know the people, the Colin Cowards, the Stephen A. Smith's, 474 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: the who is the sports writer that said he's the 475 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: very best sports writer in the country, maybe of all time. 476 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in the PST. I don't remember who 477 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: it is. 478 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I said I think that Caleb Williams is 479 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 2: the best quarterback in pro football. And I will say this, 480 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: I think he is one of the best, just what 481 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: I saw last year. Now he could revert to what 482 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: he did in his rookie season, and then I have 483 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: the right to change my mind. But right now, if 484 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: you asked me, you can pick one quarterback, and not 485 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: just for this season I'm talking about because if you 486 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: were picking for one season, he'd probably take Patty Mahomes right, 487 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: it'd be hard not to. And maybe some people would opt. 488 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 7: For a. 489 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: Josh Allen. And then there's several others. You know, the 490 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 2: kid for New England played pretty well, and you got 491 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: the kid for Washington. They're all sorts of good. I 492 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: would take Caleb Williams if you gave me a choice 493 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 2: of one quarterback, because he's going into his third year, 494 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: if he stays healthy and he's not one of those 495 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 2: u RG three kind of guys where he's you know, 496 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 2: he's he's I wouldn't. Would you call him an RPO 497 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 2: run pass option guy. I don't. He's a drop back 498 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: in the pocket, but he can run too. I would 499 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: never turn a guy into an RPO that. It's too 500 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: dangerous this that you you get your knees torn to 501 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: shreds that way. I would take Caleb Williams right now. 502 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 2: But so you look at Williams in Jaden the other 503 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 2: who are the other two that were taking before McCarthy. 504 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: It's a great question. Well Bonix, I think was that 505 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: was after? 506 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: But who were Hennix? Now that hasn't worked out particularly well, 507 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: so that would be one that's more McCarthy like. And 508 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: then who is the other kid? 509 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: Who was it? 510 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: I'm relying on you. You're supposed to know. 511 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: Uh, May Drake May, that's it. 512 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 2: May He's he's a mighty fine quarterback. So those guys 513 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: other than Pennas the other ones a day it's worked out. Well, 514 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: you look at those guys and you go, this, this 515 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: could work. We might have our guy McCarthy towards knee 516 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: apart in uh his rookie season after what And he 517 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: kind of teased people because it happened during that one 518 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: half of a pre the only he played one half 519 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: of a preseason game, played pretty well, and then all 520 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: of a sudden came limping into work. The next day, 521 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 2: they did an X ray and said you got to 522 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: have season any surgery. And then this year he had 523 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: three other injuries. He had the uh sprained ankle, concussion 524 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 2: in a hairline fracture. I think in his thumber's throwing hands, 525 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: something like that. So and the results were mixed at best. 526 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: That fourth quarter of the Bears game in the season opener, 527 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: where he won NFC Offensive Player of the Week onters, 528 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: he was he was really good. If you went after 529 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: guy saw that, I thought, maybe this kid's got it, 530 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it's it's early, but he wasn't 531 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: very good the first three. But it's it's his debut, 532 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: and the pros you know, not everybody can come out 533 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: in their debut, and the pro not many guy's debut 534 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: and are brilliant, you know that all of a sudden, 535 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: just like, look at this guy, he's spectacular. Marino I 536 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 2: think was like that. There are some but that fourth 537 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 2: quarter made you think maybe we got something here finally. 538 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 2: And then after that and then I know a lot 539 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: of people I keep reading this all the time too. 540 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: The Vikings went nine or eight. You know, if it's 541 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: if if if it isn't for a is it Duverne, 542 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 2: see the guy that returned the punt for the Bears. 543 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: If it wasn't for a Douverne punt return, the Vikings 544 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: are in postseason, and then you know, we have to 545 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: keep saying this. I mean, for those that don't understand 546 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: football the way I do. I played the game both 547 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: sides of the ball, precise running. Sure, he had a 548 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: pass catching tied end and a fear pass rushing rocket 549 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: gabralt to run stopping defensive lineman. And they were playing 550 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: some really bad, bad teams in those last five games 551 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 2: they were playing. I remember reading the stat I don't 552 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: know what exactly, but it's something like three of the 553 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: four worst defenses. Like I think it was the thirty second, 554 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: the thirtieth, and the twenty ninth, or maybe was twenty eight, 555 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: twenty ninth, thirtieth, or but it was. It was. It 556 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: was three of the worst defenses in pro football. And 557 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 2: that's not McCarthy's fault. But again it's hard for me 558 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: to believe. Well, that means he's he's he's blossomed, he's 559 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: ready to ready to take that next step and be 560 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 2: maybe maybe, I mean, it's better that he did that 561 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: than be terrible in those games. And then the Green 562 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 2: Bay game, as we know, the Packers were had already 563 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: clinched a spot they were going to make. They were 564 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: the seventh seed, right they weren't going up or down. 565 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were locked in. 566 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 2: They were they were where they were, and so they 567 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 2: rested anybody. And again that's not his fault. Better to 568 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 2: play well against the team that's not trying, then to lose, 569 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: like if you like, if you lose to the Timberwolves, 570 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: say that's a bad loss because they're not trying, right, 571 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 2: they just don't try. 572 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: So the last five games are the Commanders at home, 573 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: Terrible Cowboys on the road, which by the way, they 574 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: were eliminated from playoff contention that day to have nothing 575 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: to play for, the Giants on the road, terrible team, 576 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: the Lions at home on CHRISTI Day, and then the 577 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: Green Bay backups. So you win all those games, congratulations. 578 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: Right, And I can say better to win those games, 579 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: but than to lou because if you lose those games 580 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 2: and play bad in those games, that that's that's pretty 581 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 2: much maybe you should just cut ties with them. But 582 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: so but I'm still not ready. As long as you 583 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: have Marino, you can, you can keep McCarthy and just 584 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: see if you can. I don't know where he gets 585 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 2: his reps. I just don't know, because there's not going 586 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: to be a lot of a lot of playing time. 587 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 2: I did see this story though, twenty twenty six, and 588 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: this is you know what list radio is. 589 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: Let's when the ship sinks on the ten of Fitzgerald. 590 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: That's really good, thank you, because I'm usually on this 591 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: benefitzgeraldo that goes down, But that's fine. 592 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: List radio is also lazy radio, and CBS Sports is lazy. 593 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: List radio is a lazy list radio. Guys Dreams twenty 594 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 2: twenty six. NFL off season team grades. Should we take 595 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: a look NFC North. I don't care about the rest 596 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 2: of the teams. How about your Chicago toddling Town the 597 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 2: toddling Town Bears. We'll start calling them. They gotta be 598 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: their offseason moves. Their key additions were saving. And I'll 599 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 2: butcher some of these names. I'm sure. Safety Kobe Bryant, 600 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: linebacker Devin Bush, center Garrett Brett, Garrett Bradbury. Where have 601 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 2: I heard that name? He's too small to play center. 602 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: We have to wire that didn't make any sense. There 603 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: was I don't remember who he played. Two years ago. 604 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: He played for a team and as soon as the 605 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 2: season ended, the coach said, we got to get bigger 606 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: in the middle of the the offensive line, and they 607 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 2: let Bradbury. What all that's right? 608 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: I actually think, if I'm remembering correctly, I thought I 609 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: saw that name when I was watching the Big Game. 610 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: Yeah this year. 611 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, a matter of fact, I think you're right. Huh. 612 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 2: That was via trade. The defensive lineman Neville Gallimore, wide 613 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 2: receiver Khalif Raymond, former Kitty defensive back Cam Lewis, in 614 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 2: offensive tackle Jedrick Wills, junior Key Ree signings, quarterback Case Keenan, 615 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 2: offensive tackle Exton Jones, Key departures, more Edmunds, Dolman, Wright buyered, 616 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 2: and Brisker says Drew dolmen surprise retirement put the Bears 617 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 2: in a bind, but they moved quickly to fill that 618 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 2: spot with Bradbury. There's certainly a drop off. Pro Football 619 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 2: Focus ranked Dolman is the NFL's seventh best center with 620 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 2: a seventy two point six offensive grade and twenty twenty five, 621 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 2: while Bradbury was twenty ninth out of thirty seven qualified 622 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 2: centers with a fifty nine point eight offensive grade. Now 623 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 2: we know why the vikings on the US and then 624 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: it has some more stuff, but it then then it 625 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 2: goes on and on and on, but it says it 626 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: gave them a AA, not an A, but a B. 627 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: Next up alphabetical order would be your Green Bay Packers, 628 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 2: and they gave the pack no elabertic go would be Detroit. 629 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: This is bad if you're a Lions fan and I 630 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 2: saw this coming. 631 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 4: This is not yet. 632 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 2: No, it's they're basically saying it's over for the lines. 633 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: They're basically saying it's time to rebuild. Here's they got it. 634 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: They got sc Key additions, Cade May's a center, uh 635 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 2: Checko the running back, Larry Borham, an offensive tackle, and 636 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: another offensive tackle, Juice Scrugs. That was via trade. They 637 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 2: re signed ons Werzerz because he defensive lineman pretty good. 638 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: Here He's a not a every snap guy, but he's okay. 639 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: And then rock Ya sin Y sin defense back is okay. 640 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 2: Then they lost Montgomery, Anzeloney, Robertson, Lopez and Mohammed. Here's 641 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 2: what it says. The Lion's salary cap commitments take a 642 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 2: major jump in twenty twenty eight, so any deals done 643 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 2: now have to be made with that in mind. That's 644 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: why they traded Montgomery to the Texans and cut left 645 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: tackle Taylor Decker after contract negotiations went south. Blah blah, blah. 646 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 2: It appears the Lions are hoping for a perfect twenty 647 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 2: twenty six NFL Draft, which is a risky strategy, and 648 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 2: it is the Lions time is coming gone. I've quoted 649 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: Dan Campbell a couple of times. It was, I don't know, 650 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 2: week thirteen, week fourteen, someone said, guys is you guys 651 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 2: have spent a lot of money, and he goes, and 652 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 2: we're going to continue to spend money until we don't 653 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 2: have any left. Well, they don't have any left. 654 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: They're out of money, right. 655 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a terrible team. In interprete, I 656 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 2: still have that twenty four to seven halftime lead over 657 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: San Francisco in the NFC Championship game two years ago, 658 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: twenty four to seven they led, and all San Francisco 659 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: need it was a touchdown two point commersion outside I 660 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: kick touchdown, two point commersion outside kick touch and they 661 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: got them and they won the game. You're Green Bay Packers. 662 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 1: I would guess like a B minus or a B 663 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: would be my guess. 664 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: Of course you would, And they do that. They get 665 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 2: to be all right key editions. I hear Franklin a linebacker, cornerback, 666 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: Benjamin satan Juicy Justy. You know, I don't know they 667 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 2: got Javon Hargrave. Didn't we have him? 668 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: They did. The East West pipeline goes the other way 669 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: for once, which is weird. 670 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 2: Wide receiver sky Moore. They lost a number of players, 671 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 2: at least I recognize names. I don't know how much 672 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: Rashaan Gary had left, or quay Walker Malik Willis. I 673 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 2: think the Packers liked him. He was he was common 674 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 2: in backup. Lost a couple of other players, so it 675 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 2: gives them a being. Then the Vikings. I found this interesting. 676 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: Listen to what they say about the Vikings. Let me 677 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 2: scroll to the ABCD B plus for the Vikings. Oh 678 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 2: Key additions, Kyler Murray and James Pierre Key re signings, 679 00:38:53,880 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 2: Wilson Redman, Pace Junior, Thomas Jones, Depaula di Pola, Amalgamated Incorporated. 680 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 2: Vikings went nine and eight. Here it is the Vikings 681 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 2: went nine and eight and barely missed the playoffs despite J. J. 682 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 2: McCarthy played like the worst quarterback in the NFL, ranking 683 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 2: last in the NFL and completion rate TD to interception 684 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 2: ratio and passer rating. Again they go. They went nine 685 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 2: or eight, barely missed the playoff with a bad quarterback play. 686 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 2: You just went over the last five games the season. 687 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 1: They were eliminated with four laughs. 688 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, we could have put together a team that competed 689 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 2: with the Vikings on that in those games. But anyway, 690 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: acquiring two time Pro Bowl or Kyler Murray on a 691 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 2: veteran minimum contract is a massive win for the Vikings. 692 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 2: Murray is one of just four players in NFL history 693 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 2: to average two hundred plus passing yards per game and 694 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 2: thirty plus rushing yards per game for his career. The 695 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 2: other three Josh Allen, Cam Newton, Jaydeen Daniels. He's in 696 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: the He's been mentioned in the same breath as twenty 697 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 2: twenty four NFL MVP Josh Allen, twenty fifteen twenty fifteen 698 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: NFL MVP Cam Newton, and twenty twenty four NFL Offensive 699 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels. The value of the 700 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 2: Vikings got on Murray's contract is as good as it 701 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 2: gets with Murray signed for the veteran minimum thanks to 702 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 2: the Cards owing him thirty six point eight million, but 703 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 2: can he make that last that's guaranteed money. Minnesota is 704 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 2: in a win win spot with this move for two reasons. 705 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 2: Competing with Murray could elevate McCarthy to greater heights, or 706 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: Murray could simply beat out McCarthy and thrive at a 707 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 2: pro bowl level once again and win multiple big games. 708 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 2: I threw win the win multiple big games for fun. 709 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 2: Get Viking fans really excited. Gave me goosebumps. Just say it. 710 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 2: Then it talks about Pierre in this season, blah blah blah. 711 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: So they're basic saying that. This is what they're saying 712 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 2: in a weird way without saying it. Drafting JJ McCarthy 713 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: and having him fail miserably was actually a blessing in 714 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 2: disguise for the Vikings because that allowed them to sign 715 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 2: Skyler mur or Kyler Murray. Isn't that what they're saying 716 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 2: pretty much? I mean, they're saying it without saying it. 717 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 2: It was a blessing in disguise. So last year, as 718 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 2: difficult as it was, as annoying as it was, as 719 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 2: aggravating as it was, as as was pulling your hair. 720 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 2: You don't have any hair, but you know what I mean, 721 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 2: you were, damn it. You were probably the lay your 722 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,919 Speaker 2: packer fan pulling your hair out of your head kind 723 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 2: of a season where you're just beside yourself. It may 724 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 2: that one year of suffering may have been well worth it, 725 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 2: because according to CBS Sports, this is the greatest thing 726 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: that's ever happened in the history of pro football, certainly 727 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 2: for the soon to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings. Now, 728 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 2: I'm not convinced that it's going to be quite that 729 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 2: quite that good. 730 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: I kind of rewrote that passage to just say do 731 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: you like parades, because that's what it sounds like. 732 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 2: Well that you know, you're right. It could have just 733 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 2: said do you like parades, as Lavelle O'Neil once wrote. 734 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: But I go back to and I lost, and I'll 735 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 2: find it again here abcd FG hijm it says. Bridge 736 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 2: is one of four players in NFL history to average 737 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,959 Speaker 2: two hunred plus passing yards per game and thirty plus 738 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 2: rushing yards per game for their career. He's also the 739 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 2: only player in profotball history listen to this, the only 740 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 2: play in profit play history to have a clause put 741 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 2: into his contract that says you need to study the 742 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 2: game plan more than you play video games. He's the 743 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 2: only player football history that we know about that had 744 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 2: that in his contract. So he's got that going for him, 745 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 2: which is nice. So it's a little ducky and bunny. 746 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 2: But if you're drinking the purple kool aid, if you 747 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 2: believe in purple propaganda, this will warm the cockles of 748 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 2: your heart, right. I mean, that's Murray Jets Hawkinson. Let's go, 749 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 2: We'll take a break, come back, one more hour to 750 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 2: go here in the common Man Program on the Fan
