Speaker 1: Fan, all right, no wasting time here, Bonds Bones is here,
Speaker 1: Marni Ga Larnar's here, and we have a very very
Speaker 1: special guest on the phone.
Speaker 2: It smells like spring out their core.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we uh, you know, we're tight with him, so
Speaker 3: we get to call him Shelty, but the rest of
Speaker 3: you can call him Derek Shelton, the manager of the
Speaker 3: Minnesota Twins. High Shelty, Good.
Speaker 4: Morning, Good morning. What's going on. How you guys doing.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, we're just putting up with this Minnesota
Speaker 3: weather where it blizzards one day and then it's eighty
Speaker 3: the next basically, but you've had a month in Florida,
Speaker 3: so I'm sure it's seventy five and sunny and nice
Speaker 3: every day.
Speaker 4: I ate it, well, not every day. We did go
Speaker 4: through a cold stretch that I feel bad for anybody
Speaker 4: that came down for spring training. We went through a
Speaker 4: stretch where we were in like the high fifties, low sixties,
Speaker 4: So if you come down from Minnesota, that kind of
Speaker 4: sucks that, you know, you don't get the eighties. But yeah,
Speaker 4: it's been nice. But looking forward to north and although
Speaker 4: the weather fluctuates, looking forward to getting the target field.
Speaker 3: Well, John Bonas, you just spent a month down there
Speaker 3: with the Minnesota Twins, watching a bunch of baseball and
Speaker 3: probably getting to talk to Derek.
Speaker 2: I was there for that cold snap. Actually, is that right? Yes?
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: It's terrible, it was it felt it felt like winter
Speaker 5: in in February and Florida.
Speaker 2: Uh J.
Speaker 5: Well, let's just start with the obvious question. How are
Speaker 5: you feeling about the team? How do you feel about spring
Speaker 5: training right now?
Speaker 4: I'm very pleased. I mean, I think we you know,
Speaker 4: there's definitely some areas we still need to continue to
Speaker 4: work on, and I think that's going to go on
Speaker 4: throughout the season. But very happy with the work that
Speaker 4: we've got in, very happy with the individual stuff, and
Speaker 4: I think we're just ready to go. I mean, John,
Speaker 4: you were down here for a while, and you understand
Speaker 4: the last few days of the spring, the last week
Speaker 4: of the spring, you know, gets to the point where
Speaker 4: guys start to look forward to getting to Baltimore.
Speaker 2: But I've been I've been.
Speaker 4: Very pleased that since our last off day on the eighteenth,
Speaker 4: the kind of the attention to what we needed to
Speaker 4: work on with our core group has been there.
Speaker 5: You you spoke a lot at the beginning of spring
Speaker 5: training about trying to establish certain tenants to certain culture
Speaker 5: around the team. You've now gone through that for five
Speaker 5: or six weeks. Which ones do you think kind of
Speaker 5: took on? What tenants and culture changes do you feel
Speaker 5: like have been implemented in your in your five or
Speaker 5: six weeks. So we're seeing things down there.
Speaker 4: Did I use the word tenants because I don't know
Speaker 4: if I'm.
Speaker 2: Smart enough to use the word tenants.
Speaker 4: Don't don't put smart words in my mouth. If that's
Speaker 4: not the case, I'm gonna have to look at Dustin
Speaker 4: and have him explained to me what that means before
Speaker 4: I answer this. But uh no, I think the biggest
Speaker 4: thing that we wanted to talk to was like the
Speaker 4: standard of expectation that we had from our group, and
Speaker 4: we've done a nice job with that and that's been
Speaker 4: player driven and player executed. But that's something that I've
Speaker 4: really been pleased with. I think our bats over the
Speaker 4: last a couple of days have been more consistent, which
Speaker 4: is encouraging to see. And then you know, our start
Speaker 4: pitching over the course of the spring. It's really I
Speaker 4: think gotten better.
Speaker 2: Shelty, It's meat Sauce.
Speaker 6: I'm sure Mark Hallberg is a nice guy, but I
Speaker 6: never got any kind of information about my bench coach position.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I apologize for that, Mede. I don't know where
Speaker 4: that was lost in communication. I will say Mark Halberg
Speaker 4: is a really nice, really nice person. Actually he I mean,
Speaker 4: he's no meat, Sauce. Let's let's be very transparent about that.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I don't understand how that information got lost, and I
Speaker 4: apologize and we'll try to figure that out.
Speaker 2: That's all right, I appreciate it. True story.
Speaker 3: During the last commercial break, as Shelty Sauce goes to
Speaker 3: John Bonus, he goes, wait, Grady Size more like the
Speaker 3: baseball player he's here now.
Speaker 7: And it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, the other Grady Size man.
Speaker 2: But Sauce was.
Speaker 7: Very excited that he saw that name.
Speaker 4: I don't even know how to attack that. I don't
Speaker 4: even know where I don't even know where to go
Speaker 4: with that number one and number two. Like, dude, we've
Speaker 4: been in spring training for like seven to eight weeks.
Speaker 4: If you not looked at anything that has to do
Speaker 4: with the twins, that you don't know who's on the staff.
Speaker 4: And I think we talked about it in January that
Speaker 4: he was on the staff.
Speaker 2: You definitely did. Yeah, you're one of your coworkers. I'm
Speaker 2: just devastating if I'm not.
Speaker 4: IgE coach, I don't understand this. I mean, I wish
Speaker 4: I was in studio so you can see the expression
Speaker 4: and the frustration on my face right now that Sauce
Speaker 4: just can't lock it in. I mean, you told me
Speaker 4: you were going to lock into the Twins and you
Speaker 4: were going to go less wolves and less Vikings, and
Speaker 4: you you basically just lied to me.
Speaker 6: Well, they are I'll tell you this thing. Are my
Speaker 6: MLB the Show twenty twenty six team.
Speaker 4: Oh that's great. I appreciate that they're your video game.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to send him down to the miners.
Speaker 7: And he is kissing ass.
Speaker 3: He is currently wearing a Twins hat and he doesn't
Speaker 3: do that very often, but he actually is right now.
Speaker 4: Saw that. I actually love that. Hey, just you know
Speaker 4: LaTroy Hawkins is on the staff. Who Yeah, Ryan Jeffers
Speaker 4: is still our catcher. I mean, is it anything else
Speaker 4: you need to go over?
Speaker 2: No, I got it all. I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 6: I didn't know you guys at a web site.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's awesome. Check it out. We got uniforms, we
Speaker 4: got everything, full schedule.
Speaker 8: A game, brilliant, Hey, Shelty. Spring training can get a
Speaker 8: little monotonous. It can get long, but obviously there are
Speaker 8: reasons for for it. It's it's the preparation you need
Speaker 8: for the season. But when you're a new manager, there
Speaker 8: are so many people you need to not only meet,
Speaker 8: but like establish relationships with and get to know and
Speaker 8: they need to get to know you. How much of
Speaker 8: spring training for you was that piece of it, like
Speaker 8: personality driven, both them getting to know you and you
Speaker 8: getting to know them. Players, personnel, your staff, the training staff,
Speaker 8: all of that. There are a lot of people at
Speaker 8: a spring training.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Martie, I definitely agree with you, and I think
Speaker 4: that's a really good point, especially for this spring training.
Speaker 4: Spring training does get long, it gets monotonous at the end,
Speaker 4: and I would totally agree with that. This being the
Speaker 4: first year with the new staff and a new group,
Speaker 4: we needed that time because you need the time to
Speaker 4: establish a relationship. I mean, you go through the first
Speaker 4: kind of week or so and it's really like a
Speaker 4: honeymoon phase. Everybody's trying to figure each other out and
Speaker 4: figure out the dynamic of how we work. But as
Speaker 4: we've got later into games, you get the flow of
Speaker 4: how the staff's going to work and communication relationships. So
Speaker 4: probably more so than any spring, the length of it
Speaker 4: has been extremely important just to be able to establish
Speaker 4: those relationships.
Speaker 9: Well, speaking of length, I was just reading an article
Speaker 9: on twins Daily dot com, great website about how the
Speaker 9: players are.
Speaker 4: Oh they have a webs I'm.
Speaker 9: Reading about the the actual true measurement of each player
Speaker 9: and why it matters now you're not allowed to say
Speaker 9: you're six to one if you're actually five to eleven anymore.
Speaker 9: Is because of the strike zone and the fact is
Speaker 9: going to be the the ABS challenge system. Can you
Speaker 9: explain to me, as somebody who was getting to know
Speaker 9: this as a brand new way of living, who's going
Speaker 9: to be in charge of telling you whether or not
Speaker 9: to challenge a call?
Speaker 4: Well, the player has to be And I thought you
Speaker 4: were going to ask me to get a measurement of
Speaker 4: how tall you are?
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't want to know.
Speaker 4: The talks has been lying about his height for about
Speaker 4: five years.
Speaker 2: Wait to go ahead.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I didn't go there. I did not
Speaker 4: go there.
Speaker 2: I deserve it. I didn't know yout a website.
Speaker 4: I went, uh, the player is actually in charge of it.
Speaker 4: There can be no help from the dugout. There can
Speaker 4: be no external help. So it's essentially the picture catcher
Speaker 4: or hitter that has to do it, and they have
Speaker 4: to do it within three seconds by tapping the top
Speaker 4: of their helmet or verbally probably doing both saying hay,
Speaker 4: I'm in the challenge or touching the top of their helmet.
Speaker 4: I think we've seen it work really well in spring training.
Speaker 4: It adds a different dynamic to the game because of
Speaker 4: the fact that you know, you're the fans and everybody
Speaker 4: are watching it and finding out at the same time
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard, and it definitely has I think it's
Speaker 4: been beneficial. I actually like it. It's going to be
Speaker 4: interesting to see there's going to be less jockeying from
Speaker 4: the manager the coaches with out fires because it's essentially
Speaker 4: in the player's hands before you run out of challenges.
Speaker 9: Are is there some kind of guidelines you're going to
Speaker 9: say to your players to make sure they don't do
Speaker 9: it too often?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: Right now? I mean, I don't think we're going to
Speaker 4: go into any specific guidelines and will monitor as this
Speaker 4: season has gone on. In spring training, actually, our catchers
Speaker 4: Jeffers and Quarantini have been really good at it, and
Speaker 4: you know, I think there's been some times where we've actually,
Speaker 4: even though it's a spring training game, kind of changed
Speaker 4: the course of a game. You know, John may have
Speaker 4: been down there. The one that I think we want
Speaker 4: two in one inning ended up scoring five runs because
Speaker 4: of it. And I think we're going to see, you know,
Speaker 4: the dynamic of innings changed because of a right call
Speaker 4: or an overturn call.
Speaker 5: The big question coming into spring training is probably the
Speaker 5: big question coming out of spring training and into the
Speaker 5: regular season, which is the bullpen. I was a little
Speaker 5: surprised to see a couple veterans not make the team,
Speaker 5: and I understand, you know, they give them a try
Speaker 5: out and such, but I guess my question is sort
Speaker 5: of like, where do you feel like you're going to
Speaker 5: be getting the high leverage bullpen innings out of from
Speaker 5: the staff that you're kind of reconstructing based on, you know,
Speaker 5: the tear down that happened at the trade deadline.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're going to kind of mix and match.
Speaker 4: There's not going to be one specific person that's going
Speaker 4: to pitch in the seventh, eighth, or ninth. It's going
Speaker 4: to be a collective group and we're going to try
Speaker 4: to try to mix and match for the best situations.
Speaker 4: And then ultimately, I think people will pitch themselves into
Speaker 4: the roles that they're going to be at, and it's
Speaker 4: gonna come a little bit by meritocracy. You know, if
Speaker 4: you're pitching, well, you're going to put yourself in a
Speaker 4: position that you're going to get those leverage innings.
Speaker 7: How much of the WBC do you watch and what'd
Speaker 7: you think?
Speaker 4: I liked it. I watched it. I mean it was interesting.
Speaker 4: I did not watch the initial rounds of it. I
Speaker 4: think when we got into the final eight, from the
Speaker 4: quarterfinal on, you know, I watched as much as I could.
Speaker 4: I mean, the fact that games start at eight o'clock
Speaker 4: and spring training starts really early, as John and Marty, well,
Speaker 4: we'll tell you I was going to bed early and
Speaker 4: not finishing. But it was it was very exciting, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's a really it's a really
Speaker 4: fun event. It's going to be interesting to see what
Speaker 4: the next steps that they take forward with it, moving
Speaker 4: into you know, the next iteration of it.
Speaker 10: How's your March Madness bracket looking.
Speaker 4: I did not do a bracket because I don't know
Speaker 4: if we allegedly would play games. Marny, you know well
Speaker 4: enough to know that I would not fill out a
Speaker 4: bracket because I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2: But if I.
Speaker 4: Did have a team in a certain kind of spread pool,
Speaker 4: I'm doing all.
Speaker 9: Right right now, well said, Well said, good, Hey, do.
Speaker 7: You have a hawk?
Speaker 3: Do you have that Corey provis highlight from like two
Speaker 3: days ago? Can we play that for Shelty and see
Speaker 3: if he's heard this? You know what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Did you hear the Corey provis call that went viral
Speaker 3: Shelty or not?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very aware. I think I told you guys.
Speaker 4: I think I told you guys this this winner that
Speaker 4: last year I turned into a volleyball dad and my
Speaker 4: volleyball dad group chat was very much curious what was
Speaker 4: going on in a Twins game the other day in
Speaker 4: spring training. So I was getting multiple texts on h
Speaker 4: on Corey provis and perk going viral.
Speaker 2: Marny, did you hear about this?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: It's the best right all? This is it here right here?
Speaker 7: So good start for the twins here the fourth inning.
Speaker 7: You ever seen Buck with his pants down?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: No, like it shorts?
Speaker 7: No, like he's got he doesn't have his no socks showing.
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you ever seen Buck with his pants down?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Uh? My favorite part of that is you got full
Speaker 4: Minnesota accent of perk right there? Hold on, and then
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've ever heard perk, be that
Speaker 4: silent or the long pause that you've had, because there
Speaker 4: were two pauses of like what am I gonna say next?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you just dropped the No, that's gonna
Speaker 4: be a commercial.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's really good.
Speaker 3: All right, last question here and then we'll let you go. Shelty,
Speaker 3: you appreciate the time. As always. Baltimore, we haven't talked
Speaker 3: about them and all their your opponent when you open
Speaker 3: up in two days. How far ahead do you start
Speaker 3: scouting and strategizing for Baltimore and what you've seen so far?
Speaker 3: What do you like or just about that squad for Thursday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a good club. They did a
Speaker 4: really good job building their starting pitching staff. They added
Speaker 4: Bassett and Shane Boss to go along with Rogers at
Speaker 4: the front end. I mean, it's an American League East
Speaker 4: team that's deep. Jackson Holliday most likely is not going
Speaker 4: to start with them because of a hamdmates bone. You know,
Speaker 4: a team that kind of had a down start to
Speaker 4: the last year. We've seen him a couple of times
Speaker 4: in spring training this year. To answer the first part
Speaker 4: of that question, we started watching them about four or
Speaker 4: five days ago, because now you're getting into the situation
Speaker 4: where you have a general idea.
Speaker 2: Of what their club is.
Speaker 4: So a club that did a really good job building
Speaker 4: their starting pitching this offseason, but we have been paying
Speaker 4: attention to him for about the last four or five days.
Speaker 5: One one follow up question for that for the Beat writers,
Speaker 5: what restaurants? I assume you also scouted the restaurants as
Speaker 5: such in Baltimore. That you mean we learned to trust
Speaker 5: his taste when it comes to road places and restaurants.
Speaker 5: What do you got recommended for Baltimore?
Speaker 4: Yeah, any place in little Italy. Baltimore had such a
Speaker 4: great little Italy area. And then there's also a really
Speaker 4: good Irish pub that's right over by, uh, right over
Speaker 4: by the hotel we stay at that you can get
Speaker 4: a pint of Dennister too, So those are probably anything
Speaker 4: in little Italy would be what I would recommend.
Speaker 3: Let's go sounds good, Sheltery, you're the best man. Best
Speaker 3: of luck on Thursday, and best of luck this season.
Speaker 7: We'll talk to you down the road.
Speaker 4: I appreciate. I look forward. I'll see you Baltimore, thoughts.
Speaker 2: We'll be there for me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Grady Sizemore, he's on the Toby, he's on the bench,
Speaker 3: all right, thanks, Shelty, appreciated, Buddy.
Speaker 2: I guess the best. He is the best. That's the
Speaker 2: manager of the Twins right there. Yeah, he's just chilling.
Speaker 2: That's the best.
Speaker 9: By the way, all this brought to you my friends
Speaker 9: at the Saint Paul Saints. Speaking of baseball, Tuesday, March thirty, first,
Speaker 9: it's opening game down at cchs Field.
Speaker 2: Let the games begin.
Speaker 9: The Saints Opening Day features white jersey hoodie giveaways presented
Speaker 9: by Cochs for the first thousand people.
Speaker 2: I believe that. Yeah, white jersey hoodie.
Speaker 3: It's like a snuggie what it was called snuggy or whatever. Yeah, bonus,
Speaker 3: are you going to Baltimore?
Speaker 2: You you're not going bim that right? And I can't
Speaker 2: make the Saints open to either because in Vegas, so.
Speaker 3: You you restaurant recommendations and you're not even going, Oh
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 7: Okay, I thought you were asking.
Speaker 2: Because you were going, not like I'm never going to
Speaker 2: be in Baltimore. That's fair. He's looking up for the beat, right.
Speaker 8: I had a great lobster roll in Baltimore, and I
Speaker 8: have to think about the restaurant.
Speaker 10: I have to make a text.
Speaker 9: What was the restaurant called McDonald's Johnson's.
Speaker 11: Now that you said, yeah, yes, that's a bold name
Speaker 11: for a non McDonald's restaurant.
Speaker 2: I had it first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, all right, all right, thanks to the twins.
Speaker 3: Thanks to uh to Dustin and Mitch for helping out

Speaker 10: I think so?
Speaker 2: Yes you have, because she ain't been love it.
Speaker 10: My eyes are just crossed and slot's been going all right?
Speaker 2: Sos you ready me.
Speaker 6: Five on the power Shred col Mars in a Timberwolves
Speaker 6: battle the Rockets tomorrow at eight thirty. Your Wolves are
Speaker 6: currently fifth, the fifth spot, a half game up on
Speaker 6: the Rockets.
Speaker 2: That game tomorrow can be heard right here on the fan.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 10: That was a good win in Boston. Yes, it was
Speaker 10: for the Timberwolves.
Speaker 8: And they've been treading water and then some with Anthony
Speaker 8: Edwards out of the lineup.
Speaker 10: And we're we're close to do for an update hopefully.
Speaker 8: It was initially a one to two week before reevaluation
Speaker 8: on ANT and that's pretty it's a generic timeline, I guess,
Speaker 8: and there's been no change on that, so I don't
Speaker 8: know if we'll hear anything this week yet, but that
Speaker 8: win in Boston was pretty significant.
Speaker 6: And now.
Speaker 8: It's just like, man, just keep on, keep on, keeping on,
Speaker 8: because it's it is a tough schedule. It's a late
Speaker 8: game against Houston, and that is a team that is
Speaker 8: right in the mix and right on your heels right now.
Speaker 8: So it's you just said fifth in the standings, Sauce,
Speaker 8: but it is fifth in a literal tie with Denver.
Speaker 8: But Denver has the tiebreaker, so I know, but that's
Speaker 8: because we didn't win enough games against Denver this year,
Speaker 8: and the Rockets are a team that we can have
Speaker 8: the tiebreaker over. We can't against the Lakers and they're
Speaker 8: up on us by two games, and we can't against
Speaker 8: the Nuggets, but we can against the Rockets and they're
Speaker 8: a half game below us right now in sixth. So
Speaker 8: this game tomorrow night against Houston is really important, and
Speaker 8: it is a late one because it's not only on FanDuel,
Speaker 8: it's also on ESPN.
Speaker 10: So it's an eight thirty which means eight forty.
Speaker 8: Ish tip off from Target Center tomorrow night, But uh,
Speaker 8: who is that a big one? And then we've got
Speaker 8: Detroit after that, and we played Detroit twice and Cad
Speaker 8: Cunningham has a collapsed lung, so he's gonna miss a
Speaker 8: couple of weeks.
Speaker 10: It's not funny, it's pretty serious.
Speaker 2: He didn't laugh. He's serious about his sports.
Speaker 8: And so two out of the next three games after
Speaker 8: Houston are against Detroit, who's still a great team. But
Speaker 8: you think, oh my goodness, you can get Houston and
Speaker 8: maybe these couple against Detroit. You got Dallas in there,
Speaker 8: who's trying to lose game. Okay, this is where we
Speaker 8: make a move. And it's getting late real quick.
Speaker 10: Oh am, I red Max.
Speaker 2: Talk about I mean, there's only what ten games left,
Speaker 2: Marns or something like that. There's only a few weeks
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 10: Game, No, exactly ten.
Speaker 2: Playoffs go till like the middle of June. They can
Speaker 2: if they don't start. That got weird.
Speaker 14: How good has Bones been lately, graz He's been. He's
Speaker 14: been absolutely, just incredible with I feel like he was
Speaker 14: a little when his minutes were inconsistent. At the beginning
Speaker 14: of the season, he was a little more inconsistent. But
Speaker 14: now that his minutes have become more consistent, I mean,
Speaker 14: what a just absolute injection of energy, offense and just swagger.
Speaker 2: When Anthony Edwards isn't on the floor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bones is such an easy guy to cheer for too,
Speaker 8: he is. He is an absolute fan favorite. His little
Speaker 8: three point celebration and he's waving at the fame.
Speaker 2: The whole crowd is doing it.
Speaker 7: Now, you're doing it back.
Speaker 10: Up, Joe Ingalls is doing.
Speaker 6: It on the boat.
Speaker 10: Everybody's getting into it. It's it's been an absolute breath
Speaker 10: of fresh air.
Speaker 15: Hello, Yeah, dangerous and and actually I feel like Bones
Speaker 15: is actually better if they can kind of stagger more
Speaker 15: Bones less when ant it takes his rest.
Speaker 14: Right, That's what I say, is when he that's when
Speaker 14: he said yeah, and that's when they need his kind
Speaker 14: of swagger. When Anthony Edwards isn't on the floor, it's
Speaker 14: like when the Bones kind of just takes up that
Speaker 14: mantle and it's it's just been incredible. Him and Io
Speaker 14: have just reinvented that whole bench unit, which for the
Speaker 14: most i mean the beginning the first half of the season,
Speaker 14: it was.
Speaker 2: One of the worst in the NBA.
Speaker 14: It's like, outside of nas Reed, there wasn't a whole
Speaker 14: lot of production coming from that bench unit. But between
Speaker 14: him and Io and then you know, Kyle Anderson has
Speaker 14: also been kind of a steadying force, a little slow
Speaker 14: mo action in the in the rotation there.
Speaker 2: This bench unit is something fierce.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we did not want this injury to Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 8: And if it has to happen, then you need to
Speaker 8: find some good in it. And I think we have
Speaker 8: found some good in it.
Speaker 5: I love watching Io and Bones on the court together.
Speaker 5: It's a little more chaotic and less structured, but they
Speaker 5: have so much energy and so much i don't know,
Speaker 5: goofy flow for lack of a better word.
Speaker 2: Together. It's fun to watch those two play play in
Speaker 2: the back court together. If you want to be wrong,
Speaker 2: that's funny.
Speaker 6: Ohs zach O. The Wild Battle the Lightning tonight in
Speaker 6: Tampa at six thirty. But also the Stars have lost
Speaker 6: two straits of the Wild trail them by five points.
Speaker 2: And this is brought to you by the Saint Paul No,
Speaker 2: Saint Cloud Husky, Yes, Saint claud State University. Thank you
Speaker 2: to them.
Speaker 12: Yeah, ericson ec, Capriza and Felino, I'll practice yesterday. They
Speaker 12: are traveling with the team. The anticipation is one, two three.
Speaker 12: Eventually through this road trip we'll be playing. So it
Speaker 12: will be very nice to seek with prieze Off obviously
Speaker 12: back in the lineup as the other two as well.
Speaker 12: The Stars have clinched a playoff spot the Wild very
Speaker 12: very closely. They're like six points away or something like that,
Speaker 12: and that's a big road trip here. The Lightning also
Speaker 12: played an overtime over the weekend. They lost their overtime
Speaker 12: on the Wild one. So but the Lightning second in
Speaker 12: the Atlantic Division. They're very good hockey team. It sets
Speaker 12: up to be another big tilt for Minnesota tonight six
Speaker 12: thirty puck drop right here on kf AN.
Speaker 6: The Gopher women's basketball team. They are in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 6: They will battle Ucla on Friday at six thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 6: Ucla is a nineteen and a half point favorite. Yeah,
Speaker 6: Tommy Wise loves it.
Speaker 8: It's it's kind of shocking that we still have not
Speaker 8: found more parody in women's basketball.
Speaker 6: What are we doing exactly? That is a huge spread yukon.
Speaker 6: They play North Carolina. They are twenty seven and a
Speaker 6: half point favorites on Friday. My gosh, but that's sweet
Speaker 6: sixth Carolina versus North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Manin has made the point that we see that in
Speaker 3: the men's game in round one, you shouldn't see that
Speaker 3: in the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: That's kind of insane.
Speaker 3: Like I think Michigan was a thirty one or two
Speaker 3: point favorite in round one that was.
Speaker 2: Against one of the Hawks teams.
Speaker 14: Yep, yeah, tough break for And the largest spread in
Speaker 14: the men's Sweet sixteen is.
Speaker 2: Nine and a half by Michigan. Your second are you
Speaker 2: talking to? Are you on the phone with my dad?
Speaker 2: A large spread on you, Papa.
Speaker 6: The Twins open their season this Thursday. Johnny Beans Bones talking?
Speaker 6: Why so in Baltimore at two o five, Joe Ryan
Speaker 6: will start for your Minnesota twin.
Speaker 2: Let's get some opinions out of you. Johnny Bones, Come on,
Speaker 2: all right, Bonies, I don't think it's going to be
Speaker 2: a great year. Minutes ago his opinion, and you're talking
Speaker 2: to me. Talk to him, strong talking, mean talking.
Speaker 5: They are the over under in Vegas is seventy two
Speaker 5: and a half wins, which is eighty nine and a
Speaker 5: half losses.
Speaker 2: Hammer the over we got this. Let me do on
Speaker 2: the wins or on the losses.
Speaker 5: And I think it's important and that if they are not,
Speaker 5: you know, if they're not competitive in the Al Central,
Speaker 5: whether that means playing five hundred baseball or close to
Speaker 5: five hundred baseball, depending on you know, what Detroit is
Speaker 5: doing or what some of the other teams are doing.
Speaker 5: I think you could see another big sell off at
Speaker 5: the trade deadline this year. And you know, well so,
Speaker 5: I mean, it's important that they get off to a
Speaker 5: hot start. Baltimore as a team last year that really
Speaker 5: disappointed ended up. They were favored to be one of
Speaker 5: the their run of the favorites in the AL East,
Speaker 5: ended up fourth place. They did a lot to improve
Speaker 5: their team in the off season. The Twins clearly did
Speaker 5: not improve the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're allowed to do that. You're allowed to sign
Speaker 5: and spend money. We were gonna have to We're gonna
Speaker 5: have to see, you know, I do. Actually, Shelton talked
Speaker 5: a little bit about, you know, paying attention, more detail.
Speaker 5: I think he is a more detail oriented UH manager,
Speaker 5: and I think that has been a focus of his
Speaker 5: and I hope the team is taking that too and
Speaker 5: taking the heart and we'll see some of that on
Speaker 5: display that first week. But they've got they've got to
Speaker 5: get off to hot start here, and Joe Ryan is
Speaker 5: the kind of guy that can get them off to
Speaker 5: hot start. He is he's a hell of a pitcher,
Speaker 5: and he's followed by Bailey over and then three young
Speaker 5: guys that.
Speaker 2: Actually I'm kind of excited about. The rotation is still
Speaker 2: I think something that you could you can pin your hat.
Speaker 5: You like Mickle, I do like Mickable Mike Abel, who
Speaker 5: is one of the guys they acquired at the trade deadline.
Speaker 5: The true there is is that that trade deadline and
Speaker 5: fire sale they had last year is going to be.
Speaker 2: We're gonna fight.
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a little bit of a referendum on
Speaker 5: that trade deadline based on how this team does this
Speaker 5: year because two of their pitchers and their starting rotation
Speaker 5: were acquired during that and uh, you know, I think
Speaker 5: there's also a couple of guys that I think we
Speaker 5: could see mid season that will be a part of that.
Speaker 2: And that's going to be.
Speaker 5: How this team is going to do is going to
Speaker 5: depend a lot on how those young arms they have
Speaker 5: developed this year and whether or not they break through.
Speaker 3: I got to speak for the class here with the
Speaker 3: new look that you got going on, the new like
Speaker 3: dark vibe, I think I think you seem extremely amicable. Man.
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
Speaker 11: I'd make you good to make the hell thank you, yeah,
Speaker 11: thank you over there, mick Abel Bradley, Yes, those are
Speaker 11: Rojas Steve.
Speaker 2: So you guys know who's on our squad. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: what was the last name, Louis Varlin. No, he we
Speaker 2: traded him away. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9: We got k Rojas from him, That is who we
Speaker 9: got Ross And I'm sorry, Scaley, let me down. I did.
Speaker 2: I don't know that guy.
Speaker 5: Uh now, yeah, Kenry Ross is somebody that's gonna be
Speaker 5: a safe When you mentioned the same Paul homeowner, that
Speaker 5: team is also going to be very interesting this year.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of top prospects. I think you're going
Speaker 5: to see half a dozen of the top prospects that
Speaker 5: are at Saint Paul come up to the Twins this year,
Speaker 5: and it might be the beginning of a new generation.
Speaker 5: So even if they do end up having sort of
Speaker 5: fire sale and turning things over, even if things don't
Speaker 5: develop this year, it could be a fun year to
Speaker 5: watch them, just to see sort of the renewal that
Speaker 5: could be taking place. And if by chance, this team
Speaker 5: does perform a little bit, you could get an injection
Speaker 5: of incredible prospect talent mid season and maybe.
Speaker 2: That's what turns the season around. Like Walker Jangins, like
Speaker 2: Walker Texas Rangers. Yeah, was it Kurt Bills? What about
Speaker 2: Kirk Bills? Yeah? What about him? I don't watch because
Speaker 2: I like our new manager.
Speaker 5: Yes I do, and I mean target Field in the summer,
Speaker 5: it's a great place to watch.
Speaker 2: Give myself a certain prospect like Tommy loves it. Tommy
Speaker 2: follow them right in. He would l sauce me. We
Speaker 2: got Yeah, I got one more thing.
Speaker 6: The MLB season starts tomorrow with the Yankees battling the
Speaker 6: Giants at seven.
Speaker 2: O five on Netflix. Where they playing that game in
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Okay, so they're not playing in Cuba. I
Speaker 2: don't think so that was last year Japan. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, Japan.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 9: I think that kind of was a failure, don't you.
Speaker 9: Starting the season outside of the United States didn't work
Speaker 9: out with I.
Speaker 5: Mean, I don't know how well that works for the
Speaker 5: United States audience. I think it worked real well for
Speaker 5: the international audience.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 14: In that game was like December third, Yeah, it was
Speaker 14: afore way before the season started.
Speaker 2: It felt weird documentary on that I think. Then they
Speaker 2: went back and played spring training game. Yes, they did.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, don't make no sense. We have the Vikings acquired.
Speaker 2: Who have we lost? I'll remind you during Vikings News
Speaker 2: kind I've.
Speaker 3: Got a hot take roster updates after this Power Trip
Speaker 3: Morning Show.
Speaker 7: There is no Vikings News powered Morney show on the fan.
Speaker 2: Right here we are. It's the Power Trip Morning Show.
Speaker 9: And you get got Marty larnarn, you got Johnny Beans,
Speaker 9: Bons Bones and the cast two thousands said, uh, it's
Speaker 9: time for Vikings is we're getting real close the football season?
Speaker 4: Time the Power Trip presented by Joe.
Speaker 2: Says Repress Store. Yeah, thanks them.
Speaker 9: Calm down quite a bit, a little bit, yeah, quite
Speaker 9: a bit since the rush that was free agency. And
Speaker 9: I don't know if you knew this or not, Johnny Bones,
Speaker 9: because you were out of town. But we have a
Speaker 9: new quarterback.
Speaker 2: I did hear that? Yeah, we do. And and and
Speaker 2: Ben just keeps just stirring pots everywhere he goes Ben
Speaker 2: liber One, that's what he does. Upsets fan.
Speaker 9: No, he just said that we have a new quarterback,
Speaker 9: but we have an old quarterback who's coming back, who
Speaker 9: might be our second quarterback or even our first.
Speaker 3: He's just more excited about the Wentz signing more than
Speaker 3: most of us. But you know, he basically said that
Speaker 3: Wentz because he knows the playbook is probably ahead of
Speaker 3: the curve when it comes to Kyler. And when he
Speaker 3: said that on Twitter, everybody lost their mind and said
Speaker 3: that Ben was just rage baiting to try to say
Speaker 3: that it was ahead of the curve on March. That
Speaker 3: was better point yesterday when he clarified is it okay?
Speaker 3: He didn't say he fully believes Kyler will start week one.
Speaker 3: He's just saying if training camps, if the season started today,
Speaker 3: that Wentz would start because he has a he would
Speaker 3: jump on the playbook.
Speaker 2: And things like that.
Speaker 10: Does the season start?
Speaker 4: It does not.
Speaker 2: It does not start today, same I wish it did.
Speaker 2: Does not?
Speaker 5: Tyler Murray will have to actually look at a playbook
Speaker 5: though at some point, get you in the next.
Speaker 3: Okay, Auto six doesn't come out until like what halfway
Speaker 3: through this season.
Speaker 2: We're fine, big pee, relaxed. Just check he plays two.
Speaker 2: He's smart. He's fine, so we got it.
Speaker 7: He probably has read a playbook.
Speaker 2: Maybe you probably reading it right now.
Speaker 9: He's probably listening to Patrick more coffee with one playbook
Speaker 9: in one hand and the coffee and the other.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Kyler. If you turn the playbook into a
Speaker 2: video game, maybe that would be It's.
Speaker 7: Called mad Sure Madness.
Speaker 3: Former Vikings former Vikings wide receiver Adam Feelin's playing initials
Speaker 3: on Friday.
Speaker 7: And you saw Adam Thling and CJ ham last Y
Speaker 7: agad I did.
Speaker 9: I saw them both at their retirement thing and it
Speaker 9: was a very very nice formal occasion. Marty was not there,
Speaker 9: even though they're supposed to be family. Is there some
Speaker 9: kind of riff?
Speaker 7: I know I had a thing, but right what I did?
Speaker 3: Our classic excuse, I had a thing that's the at
Speaker 3: that time, something the place, the place at that exact time.
Speaker 8: Our family group chat though, is very excited about Friday,
Speaker 8: and Mama, yeah, yeah, they're happy that Adam is going
Speaker 8: to be here on Friday.

Speaker 3: might have a thing at the place at that time,
Speaker 3: but this is Abbot's gonna love this. Guess what time
Speaker 3: Feeling is aiming to be here on Friday ten, just
Speaker 3: after eight, so it's just enough time to be like, hey,
Speaker 3: you're retired. Awesome, we'll play initials after this, I fan
Speaker 3: and Abbot's gonna go. How come he was only available
Speaker 3: on Fridays? He was only available after eight on Friday,
Speaker 3: so we had just enough time to ask him about Hey,
Speaker 3: you know, what's the last couple of weeks been?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: He said, retirements? You know something he's looking forward to
Speaker 3: and cool, let's play the game. Well, I'll play Game
Speaker 3: six twenty one after this.
Speaker 9: On the fan, I found it really interesting you set
Speaker 9: off here a moment ago that it's kind of runs
Speaker 9: in your family, and you can see it already happening.
Speaker 9: The Adams really let himself go, and you said, after
Speaker 9: retire a lot of times people on in your lineage
Speaker 9: really balloon up.
Speaker 2: Is what you said. That's what you said.
Speaker 7: You said, we're a family of quitters.
Speaker 2: That's what you said. Quitters is what we said. Did I? Yeah? Remember?
Speaker 10: And then you looked at me and you said, well,
Speaker 10: you haven't even retired yet. What happened you?
Speaker 3: Oh, don't make me hit the button.
Speaker 2: I can't. No, don't make me say it. I can't hit.
Speaker 2: Don't you do it? Don't you do it? Don't you
Speaker 2: do it? How much?
Speaker 7: How much do you get me if I hit it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what button it is.
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 7: Come on, Oh yeah, I hit it. I would never.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you wouldn't. I can't. She's too nice.
Speaker 2: I respect there. Yeah I can't hit it.
Speaker 3: I mean I can hit this one though, Hey hawk
Speaker 3: get freak. Yeah, I'm I'm on the Hall of Fame
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 6: Did you get the enshrinement ceremony package which with the
Speaker 6: official ceremony ticket old jacket at well, it's sold out.
Speaker 2: Did you buy it yet? I bought it.
Speaker 9: I bought three of them because I wanted to see
Speaker 9: if your dad wanted to come, or your uncle or
Speaker 9: perhaps maybe your cousin.
Speaker 2: I'm just slought you got him because it's sold out
Speaker 2: on the website. You would. I love you.
Speaker 9: We have a new new punter and we have His
Speaker 9: name is Johnny Hecker. Don't call him Johnny Packer, right.
Speaker 9: We have a quarterback James Pierre. We have an offensive
Speaker 9: talking named Ryan Vandam Mark, and we have a quarterback
Speaker 9: named Kyler Murray. That is why the article that I'm
Speaker 9: reading on SI dot com says it has been a
Speaker 9: very quiet offseason.
Speaker 3: Here's something that we haven't heard in a long long
Speaker 3: time around here, give it to me, baby. We're gonna
Speaker 3: have to nail this draft. Yeah right, it's been a
Speaker 3: while since we've just nailed the draft. And uh, no
Speaker 3: one expects a GM to go, you know, seven for seven,
Speaker 3: or what do we got this year? Do we have
Speaker 3: like nine picks? No one expects them to go nine
Speaker 3: for nine? About how about with the compensatory picks?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 10: How about we go like.
Speaker 7: Four legitimate starter.
Speaker 3: Types and maybe a couple of guys that make the team,
Speaker 3: and then we kick three guys.
Speaker 2: Off right, like to find a center?
Speaker 7: Yeah, can we go like almost fifty percent? Maybe can
Speaker 7: we find four or five.
Speaker 2: Rounds or these picks?
Speaker 6: You have four in the top one hundred, eighteen, forty nine,
Speaker 6: eighty two and ninety seven only.
Speaker 2: If she's five to three? How many total? Nine? Yeah?
Speaker 14: Okay, it is nine, so you have no fourth round picks,
Speaker 14: But uh two out of those top four picks have
Speaker 14: to be good. How about all four? Let's for this
Speaker 14: let's same for this guy, and then we'll be happy
Speaker 14: if we can up a little.
Speaker 6: You got to find a starter, somebody who plays significant
Speaker 6: amount of time at pick eighteen. Yeah, we're going to
Speaker 6: need You have to find somebody who can play and
Speaker 6: contribute right away.
Speaker 2: The center of defensive tackle, maybe a running back, a corner.
Speaker 5: So you're saying we should draft based and the best available,
Speaker 5: take the best.
Speaker 2: Player available all the time.
Speaker 14: That's what I would do, as I said a month
Speaker 14: team specifically, the two best coaches.
Speaker 6: Two best picks the Vikings have ever made were ninety
Speaker 6: eight when they had two stud wide receivers and seven
Speaker 6: when they had a running back coming off a thousand
Speaker 6: yard season. The two best picks they've ever made were
Speaker 6: when they didn't need it and they just took the
Speaker 6: best player available.
Speaker 2: Do that every time you're talking about Randy Moss and
Speaker 2: uh Adrian Peterson. There you go. Yep, it's a good
Speaker 2: point you when you get fourse picks, it rarely works.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Case in point when they traded Randy Moss and then
Speaker 2: immediately took Troy Williams. Don't do that. They don't do that. No,
Speaker 2: take better players.
Speaker 8: If you could ever get free time from your twins
Speaker 8: bench coaching, yes, could you advise the Vikings.
Speaker 3: Look, why don't why don't you make the picks? And
Speaker 3: I'll be the money guy. Everybody loves Rob Brazinski. Ifs
Speaker 3: greated his job. There's a lot of people cheering for
Speaker 3: him to be the GM. Right, they're saying, this is
Speaker 3: the obvious choice. Let's not make him the temporary GM,
Speaker 3: Let's just make him the full time GM. But the
Speaker 3: two of us would be a lot cheaper than Rob.
Speaker 3: You make the picks, I'll do the money.
Speaker 2: Okay. Who should we pick at eighteen?
Speaker 14: Uh, we're gonna take Caleb Banks, the defensive tackle from Florida.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, now you want made to do my thing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you do your thing.
Speaker 3: Well, we're ninety million over the cat. We are beat
Speaker 3: beat boot fixed. Yeh see right, perfect, So you did
Speaker 3: your job. I did my job, and the Vikings are
Speaker 3: back on track. Would you pick it eight or at
Speaker 3: forty nine?
Speaker 2: Hawk? Probably?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Probably Charles Demings cornerback out of Stephen F. Austin. Wow, Hey,
Speaker 2: when do we have a moist chew on? How do
Speaker 2: I know that name? Am I supposed to know that name?
Speaker 2: It's probably somebody in the prep you're looking at right now.
Speaker 2: There was about it's just off time manage. There was
Speaker 2: a isn't there like a Jonathan Deming? Jonathan Demi is
Speaker 2: a director, I think. Okay, he's any of the guy
Speaker 2: that did Silence of the Lamb. Nobody's talking to you.
Speaker 2: Nobody ever is I love you? Wow, Mommy, I wish
Speaker 2: this movie was called Silence of the Lamberts. Pready, that's good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been told that a few times in my life.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure my dad and my uncle Peter to
Speaker 6: Silence to the Lambs and he was like six. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he was like kid me, I didn't know.
Speaker 2: When they walked out, he said, explain things, Yeah, explained.
Speaker 3: That explains the constant tuck dancing from.
Speaker 9: Explains why your dad kept driving around pointing out fans
Speaker 9: and saying you should get in those.
Speaker 6: That's why he was always say to me or you
Speaker 6: both size fourteen when I was six years old.
Speaker 3: That's why Dob's walk up song if he's ever in
Speaker 3: an MMA fight will be goodbye horses.
Speaker 2: That was a deep cut. You two got that, Joe?
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, great tune. Underrating tone. I'd like me
Speaker 3: especially to murder people too, yeah, or murdering put your
Speaker 3: parts back? Got sure, tuck dance and murder you.
Speaker 2: Ever tuck dance? Johnny Bones, can you help me move
Speaker 2: this couch? Wow? I don't like how you did that
Speaker 2: just like Forrest Gump at the same.
Speaker 3: Time, Sump or crossover film.
Speaker 7: Maybe it's the same universe. Maybe that would be cool
Speaker 7: if it was.
Speaker 9: Look what he did the Lieutenant Day. Anyway, that's your Viking.
Speaker 9: That's right there, man, man, So that's that's who. We
Speaker 9: have big opinions, Johnny Bones, you've been giving big opinions
Speaker 9: all morning.
Speaker 2: The over unders eight point five, I think, is that right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What you got which is dead?
Speaker 3: I mean that's five hundreds, right, that's you get to
Speaker 3: nine and eight, you're over five hundred. You get to
Speaker 3: eight and nine, you're under five hundred.
Speaker 2: Big opinions. I'll take. I'll take the under. Oh you
Speaker 2: are so never did I will take.
Speaker 3: This is definitely a bet I would never make for
Speaker 3: every reason we've talked about with Kyler Murray, right, Like,
Speaker 3: if Kyler is awesome, yes, that seems like a pretty
Speaker 3: easy number. If he's not, it's an under. It's just
Speaker 3: it's massive variable with Kyler.
Speaker 2: The way that this was should work for the Vikings
Speaker 2: is he'll be awesome and then he'll leave facing exactly
Speaker 2: the same issue. A silencer, but you don't have to
Speaker 2: silence my dreams. Well, you guys want to make a bet.
Speaker 2: It's only over. I kind of want to take you
Speaker 2: over to let me tell you why, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I should take I should do the bet before I
Speaker 2: tell you my reasoning. You want to bet me Johnny Beans,
Speaker 2: bonds bones, you're taking the over, taking the over.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say may that that scenario does seem
Speaker 5: like a very good Viking scenario for me. So maybe
Speaker 5: i'd take the over too, But I'll take you the other. Sure,
Speaker 5: I'll take some. No, I no, I can't really, I
Speaker 5: don't want to. I hate rooting against you.
Speaker 2: I do that every year.
Speaker 5: I make money on the Timberwolves bet with you guys,
Speaker 5: and every year I'm like, I wish guy, I don't
Speaker 5: like betting against the timber.
Speaker 2: I feel you. I feel so No. Well, i'll give
Speaker 2: you my reasoning. Then, do you guys remember last season?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 2: Very hard.
Speaker 9: Diff remember how tough it was and how how long
Speaker 9: it was and how many everybody broke every bone in
Speaker 9: their body.
Speaker 2: They won nine games? Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 6: And they get to play the Jets, who are terrible,
Speaker 6: the Saints who are terrible, the Dolphins who are in
Speaker 6: full tank mode. That's three wins right there, and the
Speaker 6: Falcons who are not good, and one of these teams
Speaker 6: in the division is what.
Speaker 3: Those terrible teams also get to play the Vikings. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I'm just saying if we're not good, they are
Speaker 3: going to be excited to play us too. But I
Speaker 3: think we're better than the teams you just named. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you know, one of the teams in the division
Speaker 3: will probably take it. You know what's funny about that?
Speaker 3: Do you guys remember what was it two years ago?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 7: I do not remember. We were talking about how like
Speaker 7: how awesome it was.
Speaker 3: That we get to open up against Daniel Jones and
Speaker 3: our comeback was yeah, but the Giants get to open
Speaker 3: up against Sam Darnold.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was basically like, God, these are two garbage quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Both teams are super pumped to play the other one
Speaker 3: because the other quarterback sucks. And now two years later,
Speaker 3: it's like, we would kill to have Donald back or
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones back, even with this busted up Achilles. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: we'll take it. Yeah, it sounds like they wanted to.
Speaker 9: Johnny besbos Bones, have you started your website about flag
Speaker 9: football yet?

Speaker 3: Is that where the money is though, did you freaking
Speaker 3: see that Odell Beckham junior catch?
Speaker 2: Catch? Unbelievable? Unbelievable?
Speaker 3: Is he spider Man? I don't understand how the ball
Speaker 3: just like sticks to that glove. I think he's cheating.
Speaker 3: That doesn't look like it's physically possible. And I don't
Speaker 3: mean physically in terms of a human's ability to move,
Speaker 3: I mean physics. How does the ball not bounce off
Speaker 3: of his hand? It's no insane Crow? Maybe Bevel Crow
Speaker 3: is amazing. Uh, Joe Burrow.
Speaker 7: Wants to like his hinting that he wants to be
Speaker 7: in the Olympics was.
Speaker 2: That he wants to be the quarterback. I just saw
Speaker 2: the highlights and sports. Yeah, I didn't watch the.
Speaker 14: Extra a little thin and it's not during March Madness,
Speaker 14: crowd was sparse.
Speaker 2: Yeahuck, you watched all of it every time. I watched
Speaker 2: it twice. What's your favorite team? Two? My favorite team?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, hey, since this is Vikings dud, do you guys
Speaker 3: read into the fact that Harrison Smith jumped in there.
Speaker 3: But he was a replacement for somebody correct? It did
Speaker 3: look like, yeah, he he was Dan Harrison fill in
Speaker 3: for somebody else that was hurt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I forget that. Yeah, but yes he did, and
Speaker 9: he into that very very happy. You look to be
Speaker 9: happy to be playing football. I think he'll play again
Speaker 9: this year. I think he'll play again. I don't think
Speaker 9: he'll be on the squad in training camp. No, but
Speaker 9: when they need him, he might.
Speaker 2: Like third or fourth, third preseason game. Because they only
Speaker 2: play why not?

Speaker 2: should have one tomorrow. Yeah, that'd be great, Hawk, And
Speaker 2: I'd go.
