00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,959

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: start throwing.

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Them out rock Rank, Rock Rank. But that's for another time.

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: That's Wednesday. Right now, it is time for five to

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: three four.

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: Time. Now five questions, Well, actually three, but five sounds

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: like more than four.

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Question number one, Ah, Vikings, let's win this game.

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: It's now time to take an in depth look at

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: the state.

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to talk about b flow because Vikings

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: defensive codinator Brian Flores, whose contract expired after the season,

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: has rejoined the team on a deal that will pay him,

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: by Kevin c for the ESPN dot Com, more than

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: six million dollars per year. Because coaching paid lacks the

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: transparency of player pay, it's impossible to know the certainty

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: how much anyone makes. It was reported that Raiders offensive

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: coordinator Chip Kelly received six million dollars per year, and

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio makes four point five million

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: dollars annually, So if Kelly now fired, those numbers would

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: make Floras the highest paid coordinator in the league, common

52
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: as Brian Flores worthy of being the highest paid coordinator

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: in the national Football.

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: Well, his results are speak for themselves. That's hard for

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: me to say. I you know, I'm not paying his

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: close attention to defensive coordinators performances as I once did,

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: but I I uh, I don't have a problem with it.

58
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 3: I mean, he's good at what he does. I think

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: the players seem to like playing for him. And there

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: was no salary cap that you know for coaches. That's

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: that that has I think you can pay whatever you want.

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: What I wanted to know, is he making more than

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: some head coaches in the lague? I want to know, Yeah,

64
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: that's what I wonder if they or is every coach

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: well above the six million dollars a year level. I

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: don't know that either.

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: It's but that'd be like Belichick back in the day

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: was making more than that.

69
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, But but what what what I mean is yeah, well, yeah,

70
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: what I mean is like, is Belichick make more than

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: the head coach of the Detroit lines or something like that.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, is he making more than

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: head coaches? Is Flores? I don't know that, but yeah,

74
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with it. I mean, good

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: for him.

76
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: He's definitely probably making more than whatever the Pole lads

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: are paying. They're head coach, well for their manager. The

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: one thing I'm gonna say though, on Flora's making six

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: million dollars, does that still seem like that's underpaid when

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: you think about it with how much the players are paying.

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: And I get it, Flores isn't out there risking his

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: body and risking his health, but there are plenty of

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: NFL players that are making more than six that are

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: just kind of like.

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: Also ran players.

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I like.

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver is going to be making like nine ten

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Who has a bigger impact on

89
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the Viking success this upcoming season? Josh Oliver Brian Flores.

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, do you think Josh

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Oliver is going to start the season making that kind

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: of money or so he can have to go and

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: read coach?

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I know Hawkinson ain't gonna

95
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: be making them.

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: I don't think Josh Oliver is either. I will say this, Timnaby,

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: I can't tell you if he's underpaid overpaid. I do

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: know this for a fact, six million dollars. Hen'm gonna

99
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: get him to the grid.

100
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: No chance.

101
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: Question number two, programming rement.

102
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: I just realized I don't have a song to play

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: for cheers. I'll try to get to that while I'm

104
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: talking here. We do have a programming predicament tonight. We

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: have two teams both playing at six thirty pm. That

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: would be the Timberwolves. They're in Memphis to take on

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. That's at six thirty pm. You can watch

Speaker 1: Wild also play at six thirty pm. They host the

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,560

115
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,359

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: are you gonna do about tonight's programming predicament?

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Taking away in the world today, It takes everything great Today,

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: taking might be the best of all time.

119
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: Who is this show?

120
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I just google tears theme song,

121
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: the Gary Portnoy.

122
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: Maybe it is almost I want to get to that

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: because I want to sing along. This is one of

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: those toe tappers you can sing along to, right and your.

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: Little made hung the cat up by its your thirtyonce

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: it didn't show.

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: Here we go.

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes you want to go where everybody.

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: And the all grab you can see all the same.

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: You don't want to go where everybody knows. That's why

131
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: the Moniker thing, this the common Man program is a

132
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 3: lot like Cheers as preposterous, because that's why we had

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: the Moniker thing. If you're if your bill from Mendota,

134
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: well there's a lot of bills from Mendota, right, it's

135
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: like okay, But if your vomit guy, oh I know him,

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: it's like Cheers. Sometimes you want to go where I

137
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: don't know, I suppose it's It really is a coin

138
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: flip between the Wild and the Wolves. Both teams are

139
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't think they're following in the exact same trajectory,

140
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: but both are. The Wild are what ten people were

141
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: going to do our own power rankings. Are they their

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: top ten team in the league for sure?

143
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: Right five? Could be top five points wise, I think

144
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: they're tied for second league right now.

145
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: Wolves, they could be considered they're in that upper third.

146
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: They could be considered a top ten team. I don't know.

147
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know about top five, but the way

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: they if you look at their schedule heading into the

149
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: All Star break here, they might be on a ten

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: game winning street. That's a really good ball club. So

151
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: it's just nice that both the winner teams are are

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: actually relevant and not just spirally out of control. So

153
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: I think you can it's it's you could flip a

154
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: coin for either one of those games. Pro Sorry, oh

155
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: I thought we had another ones.

156
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: No question number three. It's time now for it's a

157
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,359
Speaker 4: low down in Dinky down.

158
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: On the street to start to come back.

166
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 3: Do you have a record for the women's team that

167
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: they're pretty good? Are they not? I mean that's that's

168
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: a team that might do a little little dance in

169
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: dance in dancing machine. Won't you get down? Or wont

170
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: you get down and say dut? The men's team, you know,

171
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: it seems like they're in every game, which is.

172
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: The Gophers women are seven to four on the Big

173

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: that's quality clicks in the conference.

175
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

176
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: The men on the other side there are. They just

177
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: can't find ways to win those games because I believe

178
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: most of those games have been relatively close. I mean

179
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: they had they had Nebraska on the ropes in the

180
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: first half. They're up six of them. Now it's a

181
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: tail or two has us why they play They played

182
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: forty minutes and yeah, that's why they play forty minutes

183
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: in the in the NCAA because the second half completely

184
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: belonged to Nebraska, who, by the way, let me down

185
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: do some And I watched that game this weekend. They

186
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: played Illinois. They lost at Pinnacle bank. Yeah, I mean,

187
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: and you know, I, I and.

188
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: The team the men lost. That's their first big ten wins. Yeah,

189
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: it's not good.

190
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

191
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: We've lost seven a row now.

192
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: In the company. Yeah, I don't know where.

193
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: There were three and one at one point ten play

194
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: now three and eight.

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: And it was again they beat a couple of ranked

196
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: teams early on, so it looked like they were you know, obviously,

197
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: when you hire a new culch, you're hoping the team

198
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: gets better. You hope the program improves. And early on

199
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 3: there were signs that, whoa, it's pretty good. Maybe this

200
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 3: will be quicker, because you know, you got to give

201
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: a person. You're not going to fire a guy for

202
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: his first year, right, You're gonna give any coach, you

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: got to give him two, three, four, five years, right,

204
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: so you you but it looked like, well maybe that

205
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: maybe this is a uh maybe maybe this is this

206
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: could be a quick fix. But now we're sort of

207
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: coming back down to earth. But worship the best. We'll

208
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: see how it goes. I don't know.

209
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: And that's it for today's edition of five questions, Well

210
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.

Speaker 2: Is it like Senior?

234
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: It was something like I remember what it was. Somebody

235
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: would remind us anyway. Also a member of the hockey

236
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: community wild did I I've been I've been receiving a

237
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: couple of text messages Curty the Bradshaw and Brian Kavan

238
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 3: text line about the Wild are wecalling goaltender? What's going

239
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: on and what's our situation?

240
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: Yes, Val said apparently sick.

241
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I had seen the recall Cal Peterson before

242
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: I had seen the sick news, and so yes, I

243
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: was a little concerned there for a second. But no, heye,

244
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: sounds like he's just sick, and it's still possible he

245
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: might even be. He's not going to start tonight. Gus

246
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Bus is going to start, okay, but it's still possible.

247
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: He even still backside up, but it's just for precautionaries.

248
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: And if they needed a backup goalie.

249
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: What aus Quinniso would have been doing.

250
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I think he has like ten straight games of the assist. Well,

251
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, on the win against Edmonton, they scored

252
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: seven goals seven different players, is that right? So he

253
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: scored one himself. He has completely changed, you know. It's

254
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: it's so crazy because when we were thinking about, hey,

255
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: what does the Wild need moving forward to help them out,

256
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: it's offense. Offense, and when they go make a big

257
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: move for a defenseman, Uh, you were like, well, we

258
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: were expecting a top six forward to come in here,

259
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: but he's basically like he is a top six forward

260
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: just playing on your blue line, and he plays, you know,

261
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: thirty five to the game, and he has an impact

262
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: on everyone. He makes everyone on the ice better.

263
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: So even if he didn't go out and get a

264
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: top six forward, your other current forwards played better when

265
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: he's on the ice with him.

266
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: He's the Dion Sanders of hockey.

267
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: Sure.

268
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: He basically plays both sides of the ball. Yeah, plays

269
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: offensive defense absolutely. Luxury producer was the other one luxury.

270
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: It was just a luxury to have you. And I

271
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: really do feel that way. I Deuce will this is

272
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: what a student of the game. Deuce isn't just a student.

273
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: You know, he's doing as you're aware of. He's now

274
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: doing hockey play by play for Game Time MN, so

275
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: he's he does. He does all of that Lakeville South Prior,

276
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: Lake Lakeville North, Farmington, that whole shock Appy and all that.

277
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: He'll record wild games and listen to Anthony la Panta

278
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: to try to get a feel for what a big

279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: time hockey play by play and the different words used

280
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: to describe different things. Because that's one thing I told him,

281
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't. I did a lot of play

282
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: by play, right, I did in my year ten of me,

283
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: I did it at a high level. It was all

284
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: high well I was never high, but it was always

285
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: during high school. So certainly not at the level that

286
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: the guys like Lapanta are at. But I told you,

287
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: you have to have at least six seven different ways

288
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: to describe everything, right, Sure, you know flips a pass

289
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: makes there's a pass, zips a pass. Yeah, whatever, You

290
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: have to have a number of different ways. And so

291
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: he listens. He was taking notes last night listening to Lapanta.

292
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a good role model. I think Anthony

293
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: does really good.

294
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: So weird to have a coal that does homework and

295
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: studies up. I really love everyone in the Coal family.

296
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: They're also smart and such hard workers.

297
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: That's what they're known for, blue collar.

298
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: Well, because I was going to say Pete, of course

299
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: he doesn't that as well. So two of the of

300
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: the three coal men in the family do prepare for that.

301
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: He also started watching the Netflix what's it called Miracle?

302
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: Have you watched it?

303
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: Haven't you? But it's on my bucket list. We were

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: way too busy this weekend.

305
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: But it was Deuce had it on while I was

306
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: I was reading, Well, he would what would be more

307
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: interesting to you? Watching Miracle on Netflix or reading the

308
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: Wikipedia page of guitar Grate the late Jeff Beck.

309
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Well, and for you probably the fifth time you've read it,

310
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: And hey, I have.

311
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: Read it a few times. Yeah, I early scanned it.

312
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: I have to admit that when you're reading them, I

313
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: mean the Wikipedia pages, and I think they're mostly accurate.

314
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: I mean they they break it down a such of

315
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: my New Ship in nineteen seventy two, they did the

316
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: album and then It'll go who they worked with. Huperter said,

317
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: it's fun, it's great stuff, and sometimes you can just

318
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: get lost in the minu show. But yeah, so he's

319
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: watching the and I had kind of half an eye

320
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: on it, half an ear on it. It is well done.

321
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's got a lot I mean, he's got

322
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: the ROUZIONI of course, a lot of the players commenting

323
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: on it, and what was a great quote one of

324
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: the guys said, do just have to stop it and

325
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: replay it for me with somebody said something like you're

326
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: playing worse and worse every day.

327
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: That's that.

328
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: Herb Brooks curse it as a matter of fact, looks

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: like you're playing You're playing this in next week or

330
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: something like that. I mean, I like that.

331
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: That's you talk about your cheap shots. Herb Brooks had

332
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: some good one liners. Yeah, so, Bob, No, I'm waiting.

333
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: Is it kid friendly by the way, because I want

334
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to watch with my boys. Ah No, there's some there

335
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: no bad words. Yeah, I'm gonna heard a g D

336
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: in it that I don't you know. Again, I was

337
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: listening with half an ear. I don't think I heard

338
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: the F bombs.

339
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I let them watch Happy Gilmore, so at

340
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: this point they they know the words.

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they know them. They've heard them speaking of golf,

342
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: which you really weren't. But the Happy Gilmore thing, did

343
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: you did you? How about Justin Rose forty four years old?

344
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: He said all kinds. You know, first forty four year

345
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: old to win an event by at least five shots

346
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: or something like that. The guy can flat out play golf.

347
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't feel like he's older than forty four.

348
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: I remember when he first burst onto the scene as

349
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: like an eighteen nineteen year old kid, watching him play

350
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: at the Open Championship final round with a lead when

351
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 3: he was just to get I'm surprised he's only won

352
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: one major. He wonted Marion in twenty thirteen, he won

353
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: the US Open, He had a chance to win the

354
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: Masters last year, and again I guess I was probably

355
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: a McElroy guy. But at the same time, he's got

356
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: all kinds of Masters. And if you remember, Roe stormed

357
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: back from way behind too, and he forced the playoff

358
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: and then he lost in the playoff to McElroy. But

359
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: what do He had a great quote I read about

360
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: about the game is so hard if you don't enjoy it,

361
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: because people in wonder you know, you've been playing your

362
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: whole life, you ever get pared? He goes, well, if

363
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: the game is so hard, if you don't enjoy it,

364
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: then you wouldn't play because it's so much work at

365
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: that level he has, They have to put in so

366
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: much work to stay on top of things that.

367
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would think that would have to be.

368
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: Like the number one thing to be in a good

369
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: golfer is you have to practice it so much that

370
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: you have to enjoy the practice part of it. And

371
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: if you can't enjoy the grinding of practicing, you're never

372
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: gonna be able to flourish here at that high of

373
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: a level of the golfer. Here's here's the quote.

374
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: It says, you're playing worse and worse every day, and

375
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 3: right now you're playing like the middle of next week.

376
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: It's just brillant. I wish I would have think, thank

377
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: thuk about that's a really good.

378
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 2: You know you're right, you're spot on. And here's the deal.

379
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: I don't like to talk about myself or use myself

380
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: as an example or an leergy. Do you like practicing?

381
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: Do you like going to the range and pulling out

382
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: a bucket of balls and going, let's start with some

383
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: wedges here and hit a little three quarter knockdown, punch, cut, fade, draw,

384
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: and just you know, go to your nine and iron

385
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: and then maybe to your seven and you and you

386
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: like going in.

387
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: I have moments of it, but I don't know if

388
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: i'd have it consistently or even just like like the

389
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: putting and shipping, which is what I need to work

390
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: the most on. I think that out of all of

391
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: the elements, I like the practice the least because I

392
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: have the least fun doing it.

393
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: I don't like to practice, and it shows. However, I

394
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: will say this last year I started goaling with Pete

395
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 3: and I actually start. The thing is, I don't even

396
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: know what I'm practicing. You know what I'm saying, you

397
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: have to go to the range with something other than

398
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: just hitting balls.

399
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: That's probably what it is. I don't know what I'm

400
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: supposed to be doing.

401
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: I guess all I'm trying to I'm just trying to

402
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: see if I can hit the ball straight. You know,

403
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: It's like, can I go down there and make a

404
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: full swing and kind of hit the ball and then yeah,

405
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: But then when you get on the course it completely changes.

406
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: But nonetheless, what else was I going to say? I

407
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: had a tease for tomorrow, not tomorrow. For the next segment,

408

Speaker 3: Go thirteen fourteen past. I'm common He's tenna be I

418
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: stumbled across as it's a big Game week. This is

419
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: Big Game number sixty. It will be Seattle's it. Since

420
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: their third or fourth appearance of the Big Game, they've

421
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: won one. I know that under Russ Wilson.

422
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: I think fourth. This is their fourth Big game because

423
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: those two were back to back.

424
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Okay, they won one and then they had the one

425
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: against New England where they bungled it at the one

426
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: yard line.

427
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: The following season, New England has been to a couple

428
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen. They were six with Brady and Belichick. Right,

429
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: so it's been six they've been to. Is that the number?

430
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it's been sixth They won six?

431
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: They won? Oh yeah, six they won. That's right. They

432
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: won six. So they and I think they lost two.

433
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: Or three the Giants, So that's they've lost nineteen eighty five?

434
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Aren't they there? Then they get destroyed be Bears.

435
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: That's ten. They said they've been to ten big games. Wow,

436
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: there's a lot of big games.

437
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: Have been there three times?

438
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: Three times. I was reading a piece from the San

439
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: Francisco Chronicle fish Wrap Factory Bay Area headline reads, this

440
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: is a story about by Eric branch and it reads,

441
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: before Sam Darnald led Seahawks to the big Game forty

442
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: nine Ers saved him from a QB death sentence.

443
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: Was a twelfth appearance by the way for the Patriots.

444
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: In March twenty twenty three, before Sam Darnald signed a

445
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 3: one year contract with the forty nine Ers, the embattled

446
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: quarterback had a get to know you conversation with Brian

447
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: Greasy several As a matter of fact, Brian Greasy, he

448
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: played in the NFL. He was just his dad was

449
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 3: really good, or at least he played for a really

450
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 3: good team. He won a couple of big games, including

451
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 3: one of the hands of the Vikings. They they had

452
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: a great troika of running backs. They had Mercury Morris,

453
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: Larry Sonka and a Jim Kick Ki c k. They

454
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: also Paul Warfield, great wide receiver, and then they were defensively.

455
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: Nick Bonacani was there middle linebacker, kind of the spokesperson

456
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: for the team.

457
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: That was.

458
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: Don Shula was the head coach. So his father, his son,

459
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: following his footsteps, became an NFL quarterback. Did not have

460
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 3: the degree of success on the fields as the old man,

461
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: but nonetheless he was there and now he coaches for

462
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers. The story says, looking back, Greasy,

463
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: then the forty nine Ers quarterbacks coach, said darnads professionally

464
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: in a bad frame of mind, and his poor performance

465
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: during his first five seasons made it clear to Greasy

466
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: that the number three pick in the twenty eighteen draft

467
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: was overwhelmed on the field by doubt, which Greasy, a

468
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: former NFL quarterback, believes can be a death sentence for

469
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: a player at that position. During their talks, however, Greasy

470
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: became a believer convinced the that's flame out could be resurrected.

471
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 3: Based on seven words from one of their conversations. Grease

472
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: he viewed them as evidence the presumed bust wasn't irrevocably broken.

473
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 3: Here's what Grease he said. He said to me, and

474
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: I'll never forget this. I kind of like who I am.

475
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: I thought that. I thought that was great, and I

476
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: thought that was a pillar that we could build off

477
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: with him. He went through so many difficult moments in

478
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: his career in those first five years, but he developed

479
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: some emotional resilience. Says Darnald refused to be defined by

480
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: his public job failures and that grid is now out

481
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: of defining quality in the remarn quarterback Darnald is often

482
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: credited as one season as backup with the forty nine

483
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: ers for having an outsized impact. Before the forty nine Ers,

484
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: he had a twenty one and thirty four record passer

485
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: rating of seventy eight point two, ranked last among the

486
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: thirty six quarterbacks would throw at least a thousand passes

487
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen since his one start season in Santa Clara,

488
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 3: he started. The last game of the season was a loss.

489
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: By the way, that's when I think they were just

490
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: resting players. He has a twenty eight and six record

491
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: with Minnesota. In Seattle, He's passer rating one hundred point

492
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 3: nine ranked seventh among the thirty two quarterbacks with at

493
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: least four hundred attempts the past two seasons. Donald's about

494
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: face became possible because of what Greasey and head coach

495
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: Kyle Shannon helped him replace, gradually removing his doubt and

496
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: uncertainty and inserting confidence and conviction. Donald had a foundation.

497
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: When he arrived his half decade of failure that included

498
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: three seasons in New York's unforgiving media, Glare hadn't smashed

499
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: his self esteem. His football mind was a mess. Here's

500
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: what Greasy said this is interesting. He says, it's almost

501
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: like having malware in your quarterback brain that contaminates all

502
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: your files, right, and it prevents you from accessing what

503
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: you need from your computer when you need it in

504
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 3: the most important moments. And Sam had a lot of that.

505
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: They quote Steve Young. Now there are Steve Young's another

506
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: quarterback that can relate to Darnald's story. It's said before

507
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: he became an ho effort with the forty nine ers,

508
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: y'all went three and sixteen, throwing eleven tuddies and twenty

509
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: one ince in his first two NFL seasons with the Buccaneers.

510
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: Here's what he said. Here's the thing you have to

511
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: know about quarterbacks. And this is true for a lot

512
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: of positions in the NFL, but nothing more than dramatic

513
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 3: than a quarterback. You need tons of help to allow

514
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 3: you to show how great you can be. If you

515
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: do not get that help, you are limited. How great

516
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: you can be. Doesn't mean you can't be good, but

517
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: to be great you need help. And there are not

518
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: thirty two places in the league today that give you

519
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 3: that help. In fact, I wouldn't say there are fifteen.

520
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: So I'm saying Sam found the Sky's parted when he

521
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: came to San Francisco. Greasey goes on to say, we

522
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: go through and we try to take out one thousand

523
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: contingencies that the quarterback brain can operate officially efficiently. And

524
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: there's some quotes from another quarterback that he played without

525
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: another team, another back of a guy named Alan. But

526
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, it kind of reminds me of if you

527
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: remember the quote that's attached to O'Connell that got a

528
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: lot of ink in a lot of discussion, and people

529
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: are like, God's deep was, organizations often fail quarterbacks before

530
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: quarterbacks fail organizations, And it sounds as though that's what

531
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: Greasey now is Greasy kind of verbally slapping him and

532
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: Shanahan on the back a little bit maybe, so you know,

533
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't show any of that in San

534
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: fran because he didn't play. You know, I've read the

535
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: quota to you earlier in the year a couple of

536
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: different times where when they asked Darnold, he basically he

537
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: gave all the credit to brock Perty basically a being

538
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: in that quarterback room, I saw what you have to

539
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: do for preparation that you can't you got to stay levelhead.

540
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: You can't get too high, you can't get too whole,

541
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: too low, prepping for games, the whole thing. He said

542
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: that opened his eyes up because if you remember, he

543
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: was the backup quarterback when they went to the big game.

544
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: Now they lost. Out of the year, they beat the

545
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: lines when they came back and beat the lines in

546
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: the when the lines at that twenty four to seven lead.

547
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: And then who did San Francisco was at New England,

548
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: who knows who? I don't see kse kse they lost

549
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: to k C and but he said that's where he

550
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: learned it. But you know, I thought it was interesting

551
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: what Steve Young said. He said, maybe only half the

552
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: teams in football are a place where you'd want a

553
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: quarterback to be that have that kind of you know,

554
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: maybe you just have the right coaching staff and just

555
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: the right mentality, and and and and Minnesota you would

556
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: think would be one of those places, right because you've

557
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: got a court, a coach, a young guy that's highly

558
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: regarded as far as you know, his understanding of of

559
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: offensive schemes and game plans. Right, he calls all the plays.

560
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: He's from the uh.

561
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: Who's the guy that coaches the Rams McVeigh.

562
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: He's from the McVeigh coaching tree. Yeah, he's done a

563
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: really nice you know, mcveigh's done a nice job. He

564
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: did a nice job working under McVeigh. We all saw it.

565
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: I mean, there were those that will tell me and

566
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: and maybe statistically they're right. I don't know. The KOC defenders.

567
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: When we started having a little fun with the quarterback

568
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: whisperer stuff, we're saying that Cousins was on his way

569
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: to a much better season until he was injured, right,

570
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: that he was playing better and that might be true,

571
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: and let's just say it was. Let let's let's say

572
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: that that's the system and the way they coach their

573
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: quarterbacks up. O'Connell does a nice job. And then people

574
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: got really excited. Remember when when pastor not who, by

575
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: the way, is Anty the backup quarterback?

576
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: Yes?

577
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: What if this happens?

578
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: What is a lot of Minnesota connections in this I

579
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: saw that like nine ten different. My favorite is one

580
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: of Quezy's draft picks, isn't it Darian Lowe?

581
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Vadarian Lowe, Timmy, what if this happens?

582
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: Drake may.

583
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Sprains his ankle early in the game May Day and

584
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: then it's past or Not and pastor or Not and

585
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: Darnald square off and one of the biggest quarterback slugfest

586
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: you've ever seen, where they're both just guiding their teams

587
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: down the field, patrolling the gridiron like a like a

588
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: general wood of battlefield. They end up going to like

589
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 3: a final score thirty seven thirty four Pastronaut Leet's New

590
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: England do a big game.

591
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: I got it within it great drama.

592
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: I would love it. Oh, what a great story past Ornaut.

593
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: Because if you'll remember Tienaby after Pastornaut, he didn't that game.

594
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: He was brilliant. He had two games he was pretty good, right,

595
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: and the one he was britt didn't he come into

596
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: the game. And he didn't start the game where he

597
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: was really good, right, didn't he come in because of

598
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: an injury.

599
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: To Yes, Jared Hall Okay was our starter, who was

600
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: our third He was our third string quarterback and he

601
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: was starting that game and he let us down the

602
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: field on the first drive and I think it ended

603
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: up in a field goal and he might have got

604
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: hurt at the end of the drive. And then yes,

605
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: a pastorn Nott had to come in, even though we'd

606
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: just put him on the roster like three days previously, just.

607
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Acquired him, and he was brilliant.

608
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: Past literally had Koc talking through his headset the entire time,

609
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: explaining what he had to do on every play.

610
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: And then that's when the quarterback whisper thing became a thing. Yes,

611
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: it was like, Wow, look what he's done with this guy.

612
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 3: And you know, I brought up the interview I saw

613
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: earlier in the season on Fox, you know where they

614
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: have the quarterback sits down with like Aaron Andrews and

615
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: they're in the facility and then they you know, they

616
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: have all the different camera angles they're doing the one

617
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: on one and I don't think it was Aaron Andrews.

618
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: I think it was a different woman that was interviewing him.

619
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: It could have been Aaron. But asked him about the

620
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: quarterback whisper stuff and he said, I don't really like that,

621
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: but I think we do a pretty good job here.

622
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: So and everybody thought, we just need to sign the

623
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: pastor not to a twenty million dollars a year contract.

624
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: We've got our quarterback in the future, because he did

625
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: look brilliant. I mean he was throwing passes all over

626
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: the field, he was running I mean, he looked like

627
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: he looked like RG three when RG three had that

628
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: nice run for a year or two. He just looked

629
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: like that guy. Then, of course we saw what happened

630
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: after that. It was kind of short lived.

631
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, well the way could you start giving me

632
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: the reputation of talk show hosts whisper from where your

633
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: ratings were when I had to take over to where

634
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 2: they are now.

635
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: I don't think I can hear you.

636
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 2: When did you talk show hosts whisper?

637
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: What did you say?

638
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want, why not just throw it out there.

639
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 3: Let's go with That's what you are now you're the

640
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: talk show host whisper.

641
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

642
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 3: Spielman was also a quarterback whisper. He whispered into the

643
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: year of Josh free one of my favorite Do we

644
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: still have this?

645
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: I'll it?

646
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think most people remember this. Now. It's

647
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: a long time ago, isn't it. I bet it is

648
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 3: it going on ten years ago. More than that, more

649
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: than that even that, don't know. Josh Freeman. He was

650
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 3: released by I think it was Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay

651
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: Vikings signed him off the streets. Then they had to

652
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: play him in a game and he was simply awful,

653
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: and we never heard from him again. But when he

654
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: first got to Minnesota, they did the news conference and

655
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 3: you know, it was I think it was one of

656
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: those zoom things, and if you listen really carefully, you

657
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: can hear Spielman telling Freeman how we should answer the questions.

658
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: This is.

659
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: So I have three different ones and some a couple

660
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 2: of them are kind of long. But yeah, so here's

661
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: number one. All right, guys, I'm gonna turn it over

668
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 5: this deal done, and you know, I'm just really excited

00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 5: that opportunity to be to be a part of such

670
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 5: a story franchise.

671
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: By the way, October sixth, twenty thirteen, that's when he

672
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: sided with the Vikings.

673
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 3: Okay, so thirteen fourteen.

674
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: Well the first first, that's just the intro. So well,

675
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: he's just trying to get.

676
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: Him started, right right between you and right shadow, from

677
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: what standpoint, just from the standpoint that you're here. You

678
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 3: got released by him.

679
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 5: Well no, obviously, uh, obviously he didn't feel that I

680
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 5: was the guy he wanted leading his team, the caliber

681
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 5: quarterback he wanted to find center. But yeah, no, I

682
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 5: mean I had a lot of great memories there, a

683
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 5: lot of good times, you know, with with the Fellas,

684
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: and you know, obviously the Glazers and Ryan Morris gave

685
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 5: me that opportunity and you know, four and a half

686
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 5: cherish years, but uh, you know, times change, things, things progress,

687
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 5: and you know, I'm just fired up to be here

688
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 5: in Minnesota moving forward.

689
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: And you know, just like I said earlier, and just

690
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: the organization.

691
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 5: You know, everyone I've talked to just and Raves about

692
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: the just quality and uh, you know that's something that

693
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 5: that I'm fired up about.

694
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: Tell that he just was so good all the time

695
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: he was GM. He should have been PR. It's great

696
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: at PR talk about your quarterback whisper?

697
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 3: Do you have one more?

698
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: Here's the last that is the longest one too, So

699
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much of the whispering is at

700
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: what point.

701
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 3: But think that your report was that you only wanted

702
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: the one year deal, is it true?

703
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 5: And that's so what's the thought process.

704
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 3: Behind that and still wanting to maintain that free agency

705
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: at the end of.

706
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: This year business.

707
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I mean I didn't really Yeah, I didn't

708
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 5: really take a whole lot of you know, interest in

709
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 5: the actual negotiations. You know, my my main focus was

710
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 5: where where can I go to to really better myself

711
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 5: the most, you know, what place is going to allow

712
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: me to you know, just go in and just work.

713
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: And I wanted a number one.

714
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 5: I wanted a good environment. And you know, that's that's

715
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 5: something that that I know that I that I get

716
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 5: with Minnesota, and you know that's the stuff that goes

717
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 5: on with agent and general manage negotiations. That's stuff that

718
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I kind of don't really want to involved in,

719
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, I just let them. I tell

720
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 5: them at an end goal what I want to do,

721
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: where I want to be, and then from then on

722
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 5: they they started it from there and.

723
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: This time he unveiled it. Yeah, but you heard him

724
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: whispering answers to it.

725
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: It was just so good those reporters asked the hard

726
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: hitting questions actually did.

727
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: But if you'll remember, I was on the side of

728
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 3: I thought it was a brilliant sign because the year

729
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: before he was released was that like the fifth sixth

730
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: week of the season he was out of Tampa Bay.

731
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 3: I think it was like early to mid season. And

732
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 3: wasn't Tampa Bay like that was? That was? Was that

733
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: still back in the sixteen game schedule, so he was

734
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 3: like ten and six and played really really well.

735
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: That was twenty ten.

736
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty five touchdown, six interceptions and they were ten

737
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: and six that year. Okay, how did it just they

738
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: started throwing interceptions.

739
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 3: It's like I thought, well, if this guy was able

740
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 3: to put those kind of numbers up, if you've got

741
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback whisperer that can get him back on track,

742
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was. And then if you'll remember, he

743
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: was he was like McCarthy. He was throwing the ball

744
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: thirty yards over a guy's head, you know, ten fifteen

745
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: feet over his head and thirty yards long.

746
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: And it was just a women and childrens. Yeah, the

747
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: first five r us and it was.

748
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 3: A Monday night game I think, or it was either

749
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: a Sunday night, Monday night, regardless of what.

750
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: Night it was.

751
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: It's the Giants, right, it was against the Giants, and.

752
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: It was just an absolute debacle for him. But and

753
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: then I don't think he ever played another game after that.

754
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 3: I think that was his final.

755
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: Looks like he played one game for Indianapolis. He did

756
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: two years later, two years later one if he made

757
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: it enough to get him to the Gray Foo. I

758
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: don't know what he made, but yeah, that ten sex

759
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: season where he was twenty five tds, six interception. This

760
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: is just a second year, so it's like that's a

761
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: young emerging quarterback exactly. And then and then he couldn't

762
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: stop throwing the ball to the other team.

763
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 3: How the Mighty have fallen? This text Masters says Dobbs

764
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: took a bad afty, fumbled twice through an interception out

765
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: much else, and he ran for two key first I

766
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: was late and through one Tuddy less than brilliant. But

767
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: of course the NFL said he was the NFL Offensive

768
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: Player of the week. I said, I don't remember the bad.

769
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 3: I guess all I remember is the good. I thought

770
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: his first I thought his second performance lacked a little bit.

771
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: I thought his first was brilliant. But apparently I I

772
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 3: was wrong.

773
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 2: This one says.

774
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 3: Passernaw was amazing when he was just winging it. Then

775
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: he was whispered to and he was brutal aftter that

776
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: and then this one said Cousins was the front runner

777
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: to the MVP prior to Tereary's Achilles. For comparison, Lamar

778
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: won the MVP that season, and it took till week

779
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 3: fourteen or fifteen to finally passed Cousins in passing Tuddies. Really,

780
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: I didn't realize.

781
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: Cousins was playing that he had a good start.

782
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you know, I guess if though the team.

783
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: Wasn't off to a good start, right, if you're.

784
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: Going to.

785
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: If a coach is going to get the criticism when

786
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks or teams don't play well, then I guess when

787
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: they do play well, you have to give them credit.

788
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe maybe O'Connell did coach up Cousins and

789
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 3: was getting more out of them. I don't know, but

790
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: I guess what.

791
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 4: You know.

792
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: The one thing now to be with with Quasy out

793
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: of the way, in no general manager being hired before

794
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 3: the draft or free agency. And I don't think brazinsk

795
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: is going to be that involved in that part of it, right,

796
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: I don't think he very well could be, but you

797
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 3: know he's he's going to take over the duties of

798
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 3: general manager on an interim basis, I think this draft

799
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: and this free agency period is all on the head

800
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 3: coach now, right, it's the head coach Flores and all

801
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 3: the other people. I think the coaching staff is going

802
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: to be and I'm sure the personnel department will have

803
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 3: their recommendations. Right, They'll say, hey, here's what we know

804
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 3: about this kid. Here's we we want to show you.

805
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 3: You know, the different college kids, right, and they'll say,

806
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: here's some tape on this defense to back, here's some

807
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: tape on this linebacker, this wide receiver, this offensive lineman.

808
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: But I think all the decisions are going to come

809
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: down to the head coach and the staff, and we'll

810
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: see if that improves. Because there's no doubt that if

811
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 3: you want to say, if you want to lay all

812
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: the blame, if you want to say that the general

813
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: manager was responsible for all the draft picks during his

814
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: four year brain as GM, and I think, as we've

815
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: read in this last earlier in the last hour we

816
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 3: were looking at we're reading from a piece in the Athletic,

817
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 3: it was more than just the general manager, as you

818
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: would expect. I mean, coaching staffs have a lot to say.

819
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: But now there'll be no interference from Quazy. This will

820
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 3: be all on o'connellists staff. Well break, we'll come back

821
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 3: another hour to go here on the common proNT on

822
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: the fan
