1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: Babies cry, and that's normal. But if you're feeling overwhelmed,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: it's okay to step away. Never shake a baby. Shaking

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: can kill, and one in four do not survive. Survivors

Speaker 1: It's time for Fan five on the Power Trip, presented

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: by Builders and Remodelers.

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: Thanks Builders.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 4: Shout out to the Gopher basketball team and our guy

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: Nico Medved. They upset number twenty two Indiana seventy three

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 4: sixty four. That game was tied at thirty three at

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: the half. Gophers were big underdogs going into the game

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 4: because the Hoosiers were scoring like seven or sorry ninety

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: points a game almost on average.

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: They were undefeated.

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: It looked like it was going to be a guaranteed

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: loss for the Gophers, but alas it was not. All

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: five Gophers starters in double figures. Gophers up to five

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: and four, Indiana seven and one, storming the court afterwards,

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 4: which pissed people off on Twitter. You know, they don't

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: like to see the court storming ben after it.

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, why is that? I don't know who cares that?

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: The kids?

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: People?

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Let them have fun, especially the court, because I get

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: like the field there's you know, the people have to

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: jump off on there.

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: It's the people.

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: It's a lot safer to jump onto the court. Yes,

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: though I suppose at the barn it's a little more

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: dangerous elevation. You got to fly off there.

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, statum, you gotta go down. Yeah, the Gophers you

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 5: got to go up. It's it's all right down up.

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: This is definitely one of those sports takes that I

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: would have had a different take twenty years ago.

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: Now it's like, who cares? Just let them stort in

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: the court. What do I care? Right, go have fun?

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: What if you were if you were at that game,

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 4: if you're like, I'm buying tickets to go watch the

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: Gophers get absolutely destroyed by Indiana and then they win,

48
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: and then you see some college kids running under the court,

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: You go, hell, yeah, why not there's only like a

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: couple of thousand of us here, go have fun.

51
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I stormed the court one time. I'm sure you did.

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: We were I was here. I was working Vikings. The

53
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Gophers were playing Ohio State that night, and uh it

54
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: was halftime when I left here and the Gophers were leading,

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: And so I went to Williams RNA on the way

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: home snuck in and do you sneak in? He just

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: you talk to some people, you know, a couple of crackers.

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I chucked the wrong door out. I wasn't

59
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: didn't mean to leave.

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: You're always doing that.

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: You dropped the I accidentally left, so I get back in.

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: That's pretty that's a fault for that.

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: You know. I'm charming.

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: Didn't you storm court one time on your birthday?

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Well there's a few doors down, but yeah, okay, do

66
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: you ever storm a castle? Oh does Excalibur count?

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: Sure?

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 6: Yes, storm that place? And because of the day of

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 6: your birthday? Have you ever stormed the capitol?

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 7: That was?

71
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: That was the other one.

72
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Wesley and the man in black and

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: physic storm the castle and that was like guarded by

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: sixty men. Hello, I only need wishes take it down.

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: A notch calm down, yeah, be cool.

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: And Carrie Alwis, by the way, fantastic, she's an actress.

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love love her in that movie.

78
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: Giannis in the Bucks are discussing his future, which is

80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: really bad timing because he got hurt last night. The

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: Bucks are ten and thirteen after a win against the

82
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: Detroit Pistons, but he got hurt, left the game early.

83
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: He's going to have an MRI. He's got a right

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: calf stream. But they're talking about should I be moving

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: on from Milwaukee? So it sounds like the Bucks and

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: Giannis and his reps are going to discuss where is.

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: This going that's strange, whether or not he should be.

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 5: So he gets hurt, then all of a sudden, it's like,

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 5: I don't know if I want.

90
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 7: To be here.

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: It was the other way around.

92
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the story came out that they were discussing

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 4: his options and then not good timing that last night

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: he gets hurt early in the game and then leaves.

95
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 6: And the story also so they started talking before the

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 6: season too. It didn't really work out, and then he

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 6: kind of was like I'm staying guys.

98
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: But the whole time he's been like I don't know

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: about this.

100
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: So do you think the calf injury is legitimate or

101
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: is that just kind of.

102
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: Like probably is legit because you definitely want to be

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: healthy if you're moving on right to another seam.

104
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless it's a mild calf strain, a mild calf

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 5: strain which is going to heal.

106
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: In like a week. Chris, your hands up.

107
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: We were not on the radio when this happened, but

108
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: it did involve somebody who used to play for the Wolves.

109
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: Do you remember when Latrell Spree we had to choke that.

110
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Guy, PJ. Carlissimo.

111
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a coach yeh, a gop gopherst with

112
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: the Golden State Warriors.

113
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, that happened on this day in white year.

114
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 4: Spree played for the Warriors in something like I'm gonna

115
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: say ninety.

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Eight, real close, ninety seven, damn it.

117
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: December fourth of nineteen ninety seven, NBA suspended Latrell Spree,

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: Wall three time All Star point guard for the Golden

119
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: State Warriors for one year after he attacked Warriors coach PJ.

120
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 3: Carlossimo during practice on December first. Spreeway had a verbal

121
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: confrontation with Carlossimo when the coach told him to quote,

122
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: put a little mustard on a.

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: Pass, when Carlosabeth was not the story it is, it is,

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: I'm reading the Yeah, this is from history dot com.

125
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: When when Carlossimo approached him, Spreewall grabbed the coach around

126
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: the neck and began choking.

127
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: That's see, you guys, You guys are doing revisionist history.

128
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: There's nothing news. There's nothing in the nineties that you

129
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: could say to a basketball player that pissed them off

130
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: more than spring. Why don't you put a little mustard

131
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: on that pass? Like that was the equivalent of a

132
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: nineties slur. You can't tell me to put mustard on

133
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: a pass. Yeah, you prick.

134
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: Several other players.

135
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: See it's triggering me. I'm reliving it all over again.

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure I couldn't dribble with my left hand,

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: but I put some mustard on those passes.

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: Listen, he came back with extra mustard because they told

139
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: him to leave practice. He did return twenty minutes later

140
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: and threw a punch of Carlossimo.

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: You can put a little stak on it.

142
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 7: I love that again.

143
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: I can put some stak on it. Oh, God, I

144
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: love that anyway. May I missed those days where you

145
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: could just beat up a coach and keep playing.

146
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: Somehow, he comes back twenty minutes. They're thinking he's calmed

147
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: down and everything. You know, Okay, that's you know, cooler

148
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: heads are going to prevail here.

149
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: They just throw some punch.

150
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta believe he listened. I don't want to

151
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: go out on a limb, but I gotta believe the

152
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: mustard thing was the last strong.

153
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: Up.

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: I think that was the only thing he ever said

155
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 5: to them all season long.

156
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: Like his grandparents died choking on mustard or something. He

157
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: was a vet. We didn't know.

158
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: And in his defense, you know, he was under a

159
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of stress. He had a family to feed. He

160
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,680

Speaker 2: Thought it was.

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: I thought it was maybe the three season in, but

167
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't remember if it was the three Western Conference

00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 6: Carlos Simo, and then after that it says this was

173
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 6: not spirit spree worlds violent incident with the Warriors. In

174
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five, he fought with teammate Jerome Cursey, returned

175
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 6: to practice carrying a two by four and reportedly threatened

176
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 6: to return with a gun.

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Wow. But again, it was a giant deal on nineties,

178
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: it might have just been a tip of the cap

179
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: to the w w F. I gotta love Hacksaw Jim.

180
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,080

183
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 4: hacksaw latrell spreewheel, and then you brought a gun like

184
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: the big boss man.

185
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: And then was like, this isn't enough. I'm coming back

186
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: with a gun.

187
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: I can barely swing this thing.

188
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,319

00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: let them, let's play a little ball here.

Speaker 4: A gun in a two by four to practice. He

193
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: threatened to kill Jerome Percy. That kid's pretty good to play.

194
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: Four foot guy over there.

195
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,640

00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 8: If it were an NFL season, yeah absolutely, it would

00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 8: be awesome to be undefeated.

236
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,400

00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: game that you played the longest.

300
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 9: Well, I mean in my early days in radio, there

301
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 9: were times where I'd be there and then realized, wow,

302
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 9: these are really long days covering baseball. It's like the

303
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 9: clubhouse opens at like two in the afternoon, the game

304
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 9: ends at ten, you're out of there night.

305
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 7: It's like that seems like a lot of time.

306
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 3: We talked about it and around We talked about this.

307
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: Leaving the stadium on Sunday, Jared and I were walking out.

308
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,679

309
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 3: it for playoffs for the season, and you know we

310
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: got five games left. Well, imagine it's baseball season and

311
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: you're out of contention and there's fifty games left in

312
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: the season.

313
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: That would imagine that.

314
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 9: When the Twins start oh and six or oh and nine,

315
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 9: and then you're like, well, just one hundred and fifty

316
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 9: odd games to go, we're gonna make it.

317
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeuh yeah.

318
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: So the thing is I felt kind of bad about this.

319
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 8: In the postgame interviews, I think I was talking to

320
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 8: Jayleen Naylor and I'm like, yeah, you guys are basically

321
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 8: you're out of the playoffs.

322
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: You're done.

323
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: But Tom, I guess I'm mistaken, Like, did the vi

324
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: can still have a chance?

325
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 7: Is there still a Yeah, they're technically alive. But just

326
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 7: consider this.

327
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 9: According to our next gen stats, folks, if the Lions

328
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 9: lose tonight, their playoff percentage drops like nineteen percent. So

329
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 9: put a dot in probably some zeros and then you

330
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 9: get to the number of the Vikings playoff hopes.

331
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, this is you know, the season is

332
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 7: what it is at this point.

333
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 9: And I think that you heard Kevin O'Connell reference it

334
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 9: the other day, which is, you know, specifically talking on

335
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 9: JJ McCarthy. It's no longer about you know, mechanics and fundamentals.

336
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 9: It's just like, just go play. Go play the position

337
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 9: he's not been able to stack the entire year. Just

338
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 9: be out there, stay healthy, avoid the type of hits

339
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 9: that get you hurt. Just go play the position. They

340
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 9: want to see is he going to finish on an

341
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 9: upward ramp here? Is this offense gonna finish on an

342
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 9: upward ramp. It's not going to be the you know,

343
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 9: the sole determiner of exactly what their big picture plans

344
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 9: are in the offseason, but it's it's going to be

345
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 9: a part of it because I mean, I feel like

346
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 9: we talk about every week you've seen some really good

347
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 9: from JJ McCarthy, but the bad has been really bad,

348
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 9: and you just you're hoping that you're able to smooth

349
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 9: that out.

350
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 7: He still only started six games.

351
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 9: It sounds like he's on track to be back this

352
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 9: week against the Washington team that's been better on defense

353
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 9: last couple weeks since Dan Quinn has been calling it,

354
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 9: but still not great defensively. Let's see if they can

355
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 9: you know, make some plays in a game that I

356
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 9: think when the when the schedule came out, you went,

357
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 9: oh Man, two teams that won a ton of games

358
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 9: last year, Commanders were in the in the NFC Championship game,

359
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 9: Vikings won fourteen games.

360
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a big one in early December.

361
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 9: And instead you got two teams that are both, yeah,

362
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 9: clinging to that final shred of playoff hopes and really

363
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 9: in the big picture, thinking toward you know, building toward

364
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 9: twenty twenty six.

365
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: Tom Pelli Sero thanks to Bell Bank. A couple of things. Tom.

366
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: Number one, I love that either you or the NFL

367
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: network said hey, make sure you put some Christmas trees.

368
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: Behind you for the next handful of weeks.

369
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: That's the cutest Christmas tree.

370
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 7: I remember it every year.

371
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 9: And I got a box of just stuff and it's like, yeah,

372
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 9: we're gonna put up the little sad light up Christmas

373
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 9: tree and I got.

374
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: My Elvist record back there, and yeah, there's a few things.

375
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: It looks good, it looks festive. No, it looks it's

376
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: a good aesthetic. It looks solid.

377
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: That's number one. Number two.

378
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 4: A couple of people this week have discussed the idea

379
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: that that the Vikings can't quote run it back in

380
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, right, whether it's Cozy Koc, the coordinators,

381
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: the something is going to significantly change. What do you

382
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: think not running it back in twenty six looks like, well, listen,

383
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: I think that if.

384
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 9: You've seen anything from the Vikings over the several years

385
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 9: that it's been Kevin and Kuacy at the top of

386
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 9: the totem pole, they've been aggressive every off season. There

387
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 9: have been significant moves, whether it's letting you know, the

388
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 9: likes of Kirk Cousins move on this past offseason, deciding

389
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 9: to you know, move forward with JJ McCarthy as the quarterback.

390
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 9: You know, in terms of signings, in terms of trade,

391
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 9: they've been aggressive throughout and when you have a season

392
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 9: like this, you know, you know, at some point postseason,

393
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 9: I'm sure Quaysy'll talk about it, but I guarantee he's

394
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 9: already thinking about, you know, going back through and the

395
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 9: various decisions and you know, where there be anything that

396
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 9: you would do differently. How much of this was you know,

397
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 9: circumstantial with with injuries and other things here. I do

398
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 9: anticipate there's gonna be changes, but I would say that's

399
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 9: every year right now with the Vikings. The most monumental

400
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 9: thing is going to be what do you do at

401
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 9: the at the quarterback position. You know, is it additive

402
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 9: in terms of bringing in a veteran is it a

403
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 9: compete situation? Is it get the mechanics right? And you know,

404
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 9: think JJ is going to be just in better shape

405
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty six if you can stay on the field.

406
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 9: I don't think that they'll proceed without a veteran quarterback

407
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 9: on the roster. Before you know, cutdown day like this

408
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 9: year with Carson Wentz that I don't anticipate, but yeah, absolutely,

409
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 9: I mean there's gonna be a lot of changes in

410
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 9: terms of like the top line type of stuff.

411
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 7: The Wilfs are very private about that.

412
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 9: It would surprise me at this point if they're making

413
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 9: any major changes, especially after extending Kevin and Quac last offseason.

414
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 7: But we'll see.

415
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 9: It's absolutely a you know, a disappointing season. I think

416
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 9: that everybody everyone should know at this point how much

417
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 9: the Wolves care, how much they want to win, you know,

418
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 9: and there's an emotional element to that, there's a business

419
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 9: element to that. I've got no doubt that there's going

420
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 9: to be some you know, hard conversations to take place

421
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 9: after the season.

422
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 7: But first, you know, let's see what happens in these

423
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 7: final five games.

424
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 8: How do you think it plays out? When you mentioned

425
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 8: the veteran quarterbacks they could bring in, because as of

426
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 8: right now, the whole league knows that there's not a

427
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 8: lot of guys to choose from that could be a

428
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 8: viable starting quarterback. You have Mac Jones, who you're going

429
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 8: to have to trade for. He's not just going to

430
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 8: be a guy that's gonna be on the open market.

431
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 8: You have Jacoby Brissett, who is probably going to be

432
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 8: retained by Arizona, which means Kyler Murray is going to

433
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 8: be on the market. Another guy is like Jamis Winston.

434
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 8: The issue is there's a lot of teams out there

435
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 8: that are gonna want their services. You may have to

436
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 8: overpay for one of these guys just to compete. And

437
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 8: then if actually jj wins that the real competition, then

438
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 8: you've got a high priced backup quarterback. Like, how do

439
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 8: you feel all of that's gonna get worked out with

440
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 8: some of those players that I mentioned.

441
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 9: Well, I mean I can go down the list, so

442
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 9: I got it on my whiteboard in front of me.

443
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 9: So your available free agents include Aaron Rodgers, who's on

444
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 9: a one year contract. Obviously they didn't do it last year.

445
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 9: He's forty two years old. I would find that hard

446
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 9: to believe they'd go that direction. Daniel Jones is in

447
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 9: a contract year. They've already been down that road with

448
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 9: him obviously in the past. Probably not going to be

449
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 9: a situation. Plus, it seems like, depending how the Colts

450
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 9: finish here, that they would like to retain Daniel Jones.

451
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: But he's scheduled to be a free agent.

452
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 9: Russell Wilson's a free agent, and then you got a

453
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 9: bunch of guys who potentially could be available in trades.

454
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 9: Between Kyler Murray, you know exactly what they decide to

455
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 9: do with him, you know, to a tongue of iloa,

456
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 9: the Dolphins are going to have to make some decisions

457
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 9: on that. If they were to try to trade him,

458
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 9: they would have to eat some money to, you know,

459
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 9: to move that contract down the gamebody else taken on

460
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 9: fifty four million dollars for Tua, and there's certainly a

461
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 9: possibility that they keep Mike McDaniel and keep Tua for

462
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 9: one more year and then you know, kind of evaluate

463
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 9: everything with the new general manager at the end of

464
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 9: twenty twenty six. You know, what happens with Gino Smith,

465
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 9: what happens with Kirk Cousins. You know, again, hard to imagine.

466
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 9: I know him and Kevin still have a really good relationship.

467
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 9: Hard to imagine him coming back. But that's another guy

468
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 9: who's available. Justin Fields is also available. And then you

469
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 9: guys mentioned some of the others. Mac Jones is certainly

470
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 9: in that category. So I mean, there's a bunch of guys.

471
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 9: None of these are perfect types of situations. And also

472
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 9: I thought one of the things that was instructive last

473
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 9: offseason was the market wasn't you know, overwhelming for the

474
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 9: quarterbacks that were available. And I think part of that

475
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 9: is kind of a reaction to some of the teams

476
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 9: that have gone big on quarterbacks, including the Falcons with

477
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 9: Kirk and haven't gotten their money's worth. You know, it

478
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 9: was a pretty soft market honestly for Sam Donald until

479
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 9: things went sideways in Seattle with Gino Smith, and then

480
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 9: the Seahawks were willing to step up with an offer

481
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 9: that still was, you know, a one year commitment to Donald.

482
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 9: He makes thirty seven and a half this year. They

483
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 9: could move on if they wanted to. I don't anticipate

484
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 9: they're going to, but they could move on after this season.

485
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 9: There wasn't like people banging down Sam Donald's door and saying,

486
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 9: we're going to do a market value forty fifty million

487
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 9: dollars per year deal. Are any of these guys getting

488
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 9: that type of money? What's the number on a Daniel Jones?

489
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 9: Those are all, you know, market based questions. But you're

490
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 9: right in terms of there's only maybe I would say

491
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 9: I mean, I can go through my list, but like

492
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 9: a dozen teams that I would say I'm pretty confident

493
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 9: won't do something at the quarterback position, because not only

494
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 9: do you have the teams that have a clear need,

495
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 9: but then you've got all these other teams that it's like,

496
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 9: what direction are they going to go on some of

497
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 9: these quarterbacks And it might be a all right, we're

498
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 9: not going to move on from our guy until we

499
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 9: can get somebody else in. That's all the stuff. And

500
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 9: it doesn't begin mid March with free agency. It begins

501
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 9: in January. It begins with you know, conversations prior to

502
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl. We'll have you know, at least some

503
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 9: answers by the time we're out in San Francisco in

504
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 9: early February.

505
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: Tom Palasaragan for thanks to our friends at Bell Bank,

506
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: and we'll get you this week's charity and who nominated

507
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: and everything. I think you're gonna like it a lot, Tom.

508
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: It involves doggies, and I know you're a doggie guy,

509
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: but real quickly, so much criticism. I've even seen some

510
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 3: stuff nationally with people talking about who you know. Some

511
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: people are critical of the coach and the way you

512
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: handle the quarterback situation. But locally, I've heard a lot

513
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: of people being very critical of our general manager. I,

514
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 3: for one, think everybody's doing a fantastic job down at TCO.

515
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: Big fan of everybody. But nationally, for you, is there

516
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: a rumbling out there saying perhaps the GM is on

517
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: the hot seat or anybody in particular, or is it

518
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: too early in the season for that.

519
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 7: I have not really heard that out there.

520
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 9: You know, anytime that the team is failing to meet expectations,

521
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 9: and by any reasonable objective standard, the Vikings have fallen

522
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 9: short of expectations, you're going to have a focus, you know,

523
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 9: going back in hindsight, you know, the biggest thing being

524
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 9: the decisions made. You know, at the quarterback position, there

525
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 9: were multiple plans that were in place. A couple of

526
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 9: things won a different direction than the Vikings were anticipating.

527
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 9: They used all that leftover money to go and address

528
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 9: the needs they thought they had, which were the interior,

529
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 9: the defensive, offensive lines get bigger, get more physical. You know,

530
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 9: there's moves going back right Take Adam Thielen, you know,

531
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 9: I understand why you make that trade in August, because

532
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 9: you're going, you know, right now, justin Jefferson at the

533
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 9: time they made that trade, was just coming back from

534
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 9: the hamstring. Jordan Aisen's facing a three game suspension. Jalen

535
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 9: Naylor was hurt and they didn't know for sure if

536
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 9: he was going to be back at the beginning of

537
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 9: the season. You can plug and play and Adam Field,

538
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 9: who already knows your system. It brings leadership to the room,

539
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 9: It brings experience to the room. He has a relationship

540
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 9: with JJ mccarth. He had thrown with him in the offseason.

541
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 9: It just didn't work out. I mean, I don't think

542
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 9: that anybody would have thought when they make that trade

543
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 9: for feel and you're getting eight catches for sixty nine

544
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 9: yards and he's asking to be released and ends up

545
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 9: playing with Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. You know, but again,

546
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 9: do you want a GM who's going to be aggressive

547
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 9: on these things? You know, trading the draft pick for

548
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 9: Jordan Mason. You know, Jordan Mason's been a backup running

549
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 9: back most of the year. But you watch them and

550
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 9: you're like, for a fifth round pick or whatever it

551
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 9: was that they sent to San Francisco, he's I mean,

552
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 9: I would say that he's well worth that, you know,

553
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 9: that shot. Obviously, it hasn't worked out with Ryan Kelly,

554
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 9: and that's not necessarily Ryan Kelly's fault. He had a

555
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 9: concussion history, He's had more concussions. You'd like to feel

556
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 9: the defensive editions a little bit more than they have,

557
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 9: you know. But again we can evaluate that. You can

558
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 9: do outcome based analysis, or you can look back in

559
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 9: the spring and go, you know, they're trying to go

560
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 9: for it with a team that won fourteen games, while

561
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 9: simultaneous trying to give a young quarterback an opportunity take

562
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 9: advantage of that young quarterback contract. All that stuff's again

563
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 9: going to be broken down in the offseason. But no,

564
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say that there's an impression with the league

565
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 9: that the Kosi's in trouble in part because they extended

566
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 9: him and Kevin before the season.

567
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 7: This has not been the season that anybody wanted, you know.

568
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 9: But let's see kind of how they decide to proceed,

569
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 9: what the plans are in twenty twenty six, because there's

570
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 9: a lot to unpack with a team that you felt

571
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 9: like they had a window and now all of a

572
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 9: sudden you're going to be in the year three of

573
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 9: JJ's rookie contract next year, and how does that change

574
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 9: the calculus how you put together this team moving forward.

575
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about the other JJ.

576
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 8: I feel like this is committing a purple sin by

577
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 8: even just mentioning this, because I don't want to believe it.

578
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 8: But I also understand the other rumors out there and

579
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 8: even the likes of ESPN and I'm sure you guys

580
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 8: at the NFL network I've talked about it, like the

581
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: idea that Justin Jefferson would want to get out of

582
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 8: here if he did not like the quarterback situation for

583
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 8: next year and possibly the years beyond that. So what

584
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 8: do you feel in your gut? What is he thinking?

585
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 8: What do you think ends up happening? Would Justin Jefferson

586
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 8: be the type of player that demands a trade.

587
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 9: Listen, anybody can sit here and say, hey, we see

588
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 9: crazy trades Justin Jefferson? Would that really be a shock?

589
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 9: And that's true. Okay, there's only you know, a couple

590
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 9: dozen players in the entire league that are off limits

591
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 9: in a trade. The Bills aren't trading Josh Allen, the

592
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 9: Chiefs aren't trading Patrick Mahomes. It's a really short list

593
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 9: if you think about it. Of like who would not

594
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 9: be available if someone went, hey, I'll give you multiple

595
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 9: first round picks. You know, there's a financial element to

596
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 9: these things. There's a cap element to these things. I

597
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 9: would just say, you know, and Caracy said this a

598
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 9: couple of years ago before doing the contract, he didn't

599
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 9: want to be the general manager of Justin Jefferson's not

600
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 9: on that team. I'm slightly paraphrased. I might not have

601
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 9: the language right, but basically it was, if Justin's not here,

602
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 9: I'm not going to be the GM. We know how

603
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 9: the organization feels. You're paying not just for Justin Jefferson

604
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 9: the football player, but it's Justin Jefferson the brand and

605
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 9: the gritty and he's the identity of your franchise, and

606
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 9: he's the one who sells jerseys and that fans want

607
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 9: to see all that stuff. You'd love to say everything's

608
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 9: made in isolation of a football decision, but it's it's

609
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 9: all those things when you're doing these big time contracts

610
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 9: with the face of your franchise. I would reiterate something

611
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 9: I've said in the past, which is I can't think

612
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 9: of a lot of elite wide receivers who would handle

613
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 9: a season like this better than Justin Jefferson has. And yes,

614
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 9: you've seen times where he slams his helmet down he's

615
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 9: frustrated on the sideline, but you have not seen him,

616
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 9: you know, melting down on JJ on the sideline.

617
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 7: You've not seen him going after coaches.

618
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 9: He's not getting on Twitch or Instagram and posting cryptic

619
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 9: stuff like Justin Jefferson has done as well as you

620
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 9: could possibly hope.

621
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 7: But when you're talking.

622
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 9: About someone who has always set the standard of I

623
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 9: want to wear a gold jacket at the end of this.

624
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 9: I want to be one of the greatest wide receivers

625
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 9: when you feel like you're not getting those opportunities, and

626
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 9: you know, I had a general manager say it to

627
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 9: me last night, like when you see Justin run a

628
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 9: perfect route and it's you know, a simple out and

629
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 9: he's wide open and the ball whizzes by his back ear,

630
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 9: you know, yeah, you're gonna sit there and go like,

631
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 9: what are we doing here? But there were a lot

632
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 9: of you know, circumstances that went into this. If I'm

633
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 9: Justin Jefferson, if I'm his agent, and by the way,

634
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 9: it's the same agency that represents JJ McCarthy, I'm having

635
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 9: discussions about, all right, what is our plan moving forward? Justin,

636
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 9: I don't believe, is the type of guy who's going

637
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 9: to storm in there the day after the season and

638
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 9: say get me out. I don't want to be a

639
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 9: Viking anymore. But realistically, again, if you're being aggressive with

640
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 9: the roster, you're taking everything into account. I think that

641
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 9: Justin Jefferson is on that very very short list of

642
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 9: players that you would not trade. I would challenge you, know,

643
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 9: all you guys sitting there, anybody listening, like what is

644
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 9: the trade offer that would make sense to trade Justin Jefferson?

645
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 9: In other words, like what would have to be in

646
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 9: that deal? Even if it's two first round picks, which

647
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 9: presumably are coming from a pretty good team, is too

648
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 9: late Where oute first round picks enough for you to

649
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 9: consider trading a transcendent player who's the identity of your

650
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 9: entire football team.

651
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 7: I'd be reluctant to do it.

652
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 9: I mean, yeah, there's big time trades that happened every offseason.

653
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 9: It's a different NFL than it was ten years ago.

654
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 9: I have no doubt that the Vikings will get calls

655
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 9: about Justin Jefferson in this offseason.

656
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 7: And you take it. There's no reason not to listen

657
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 7: on these things. I find it hard to believe.

658
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 9: Never say never, but I find it hard to believe

659
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 9: that they're not figuring out a way to continue building

660
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 9: this thing around justin Jefferson in twenty twenty.

661
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: Six, unless, of course, he does what DeLand did and

662
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: says I want to get out here. And I don't

663
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: see him doing that. So I get it.

664
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 9: He's not in his last year. He's not you know,

665
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 9: thinking I don't want to I mean, listen, feeling is there.

666
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 9: He's chip blocking Miles Garrett more than he's being targeted. Okay,

667
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 9: like it's realistically. You know, Adam wanted to go someplace else.

668
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 9: Him and Aaron have known each other for years. I'm

669
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 9: excited to see him. You know, that offense that Pittsburgh runs.

670
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 9: I know you didn't ask me this question, but the

671
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 9: offense the Pittsburgh runs is very much between the numbers.

672
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 9: You know, Aaron Rodgers throwut his history has thrown a

673
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 9: lot of stuff outside the numbers. Get a guy who's

674
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 9: just a you know, a reliable type of a veteran feeling,

675
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 9: I'll get I would, I would venture a guess. I'm

676
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 9: not big in the prediction business. I would bet you

677
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 9: Adam Feeling has more catches over the next couple of

678
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 9: weeks that he is his entire time in Minnesota, just

679
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 9: because the opportunity is there.

680
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: You got guys like DK Metcalf who we're going to

681
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 7: draw attention. The tight ends draw attention.

682
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 9: You know. Maybe Adam Feeling is that kind of chain

683
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 9: mover that Aaron had for years with Randall Cobb. I

684
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 9: believe Adam's got something left. It just it didn't work

685
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 9: out in Minnesota. I'm excited to see him in Pittsburgh.

686
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: Again thanks to our friends of Bellbank. That's Tom Pellisero.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

706
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: I took a bunch of pictures of Tom looking very

707
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: bored by Ben's questions.

708
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: Yep, I just like they weren't the best. But but

709
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: he tried, he.

710
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: Tried, he did exactly what I was thinking. I also

711
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: took a picture because I noticed that, like, you have

712
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: a hat on right now? Is it a like a

713
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: flex fit or does it have the little knobs on

714
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: the back.

715
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: It's a flex fit hat.

716
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: He had one of the little knobby ones where you

717
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: have to pick the snap backs.

718
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: Thank you.

719
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: Mine is always on the first hole because I have

720
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: a little head.

721
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: His was on like the fifth hole.

722
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: He must have a giant head, like like sauce.

723
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: Wonder what whole sauce is on?

724
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: I have?

725
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm on the last two and you can't really see it,

726
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: but like I've thought about like an extension, like a

727
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: little piece to extent because my head is also gigantic.

728
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: It's a big head. And you know, imagine if you

729
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: had a big, lush hair.

730
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: And I imagine every day. I haven't seen that since

731
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: middle school. Yeah, sad, did you have lush hair? I

732
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 2: you know, I had a mullet way back in the day.

733
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: I can see it. That works out.

734
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you're from White bear Lake and you're a

735
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: hockey guy, and I like to party. That's the best

736
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: part about having hockey here in White bear Lake is

737
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: you get to basically cut it after the first round anyway,

738
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: so you know, wow, you're taking shrapnel. By the way,

739

00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: Of course?

762
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: Our friend John O'Hurley. Yeah, did you hear about the

763
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: try the controversy?

764
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 7: I did not.

765
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: You know how he's the dog show dude.

766
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: He is the dog show dude.

767
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving he said this about a sheep dog.

768
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: You English sheep dog.

769
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 10: Eighty pounds of hair and two pounds of actual dog.

770
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: There.

771
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 10: As I have said before, if the judge picks through

772
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 10: all of that hair and finds only one eye, he's

773
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 10: got the wrong end of the dog.

774
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: Sorry a minute, what do you mean controversy? People are mad?

775
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 2: Come on, that's a great line and it's not even.

776
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 4: Like vulgar if you're a if you're a kid, you

777
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: didn't even get that joke.

778
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 7: Brilliant.

779
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: Who is mad about that? Oh god, why do we

780
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: let people bed? That's a super funny line. And again

781
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,800

817
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 3: about Christmas. And I saw the big giant bucket of icing,

818
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,600

826
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,680

827
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,719

828
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: of the house with a crane like Gilbert Grape's mom. Yeah,

829
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,520

830
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: referenced on the show the most. That young kids must

831
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,600

00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 4: a different trick. Uh asked to see a guy guy's gun,

842
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,320

844
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 4: he's got the gun, he's got the ammo. So that's

845
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 4: the way he stole a guy's gun. He said, can

846
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 4: I see that gun?

847

Speaker 3: which is which is can I take a look at

854

Speaker 3: that bra you're wearing? And then then they take it

855
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: off and you don't give it back?

856
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:08,840
