1
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever said and got paid you round? What's it?

2
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: What's a bomb? Then when you got paid you round,

3
00:00:44,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't. Little don then worked up. It's nine o'clock

4
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday morning, and I am Dave Sinekin sitting

5
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: in this morning, nine to noon. Happy Tuesday, everybody, Brett

00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Blake Moore by my side. You are will endure me

00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: for the next couple of days. I'll be here today

8
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: and tomorrow. Oh no, not that I know anything anything

9
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: but that Tomorrow will be a special Midweek in the

10
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: Zone edition of the Polly Allen Project. A double ted

11
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Trent Tucker will join me in studio nine to noon tomorrow,

12
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: so it'll be basketball heavy today. Though it's you and me,

13
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: We've got a rock solid list of guests that will

14
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: join us. I just want to open the show. Look,

15
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: this is nine to noon. We all know why we're here.

16
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: It's to talk about sports. It's why I've been here

17
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: for thirty one years. I love talking about sports. I'm

18
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: here once a week or so, and that's my chance.

19
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to delve too far beyond sports. But

20
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: I just want to make one brief statement that I am,

21
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: like most of you horrified by what's been going on

22
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: in the streets of Minneapple. I'm angry about what our

23
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: citizens have had to endure trying to live their lives.

24
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm proud of a lot of our citizens and how

25
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: they've responded. And I'm hopeful, hopeful that maybe a corner

26
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: has been turned with conversations among US leadership, state leadership,

27
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: city leadership, that maybe things will be diffused, and I

28
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: hope we all, I think we all hope that that

29
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: is the case. Instead, we will talk sports for the

30
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: next three hours, and you know, think about the Sports

31
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: for me has always been the prime diversion. It's just

32
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: been what I live for. I you know, I can't

33
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: imagine not having I'm looking ahead to Nebraska Michigan tonight.

34
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: That's the kind of rube I am. I mean, that's

35
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: actually a great college game. It's two top five teams.

36
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: But that's as we said here at nine in the morning,

37
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about my day and I'm thinking I can't

38
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: wait to watch Nebraska Michigan tonight. I know that makes

39
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: me maybe a bit odd, but that's what sports has

40
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: always been for me. It's just there are games, there

41
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: are competitions, there are events that I get excited about.

42
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: At six o'clock tonight, I'll be watching Nebraska Michigan, and

43
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: then I'll have to watch my Hoosiers get destroyed by

44
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Purdue at eight, and I'll realize that sports does let

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: me down from time to time too, And I'm excited

46
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: all day about something and then yeah, the reality of

47
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: what I've just witnessed. But for many of you, like me,

48
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: we've immersed ourselves in sports, and it's what gives us pleasure,

49
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: it's what gets us interested, and that's why I've always

50
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed being a part of this station, being able to

51
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: talk sports, hang out. Whether you agree with my takes

52
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: or not, that's the way that the way the ball bounces.

53
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: No one's ever going to agree with everybody. People tend

54
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: to disagree with me more than most because of my

55
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: leanings on the other side of the river. We get that.

56
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk sports. We have three guests

57
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to have today, beginning about an hour

58
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: from now, Lavell E Neil the third. We'll chat some twins,

59
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk football, and this time I will welcome Leavell

60
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: into my covenant. Well, last time I talked to Levell.

61
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: He barged in unannounced, uninvited to the Final Packer previous

62
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: show the year that I still can't quite get over

63
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: that the kahonas on that guy.

64
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: And the thing was, it wasn't a bit like let's

65
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: play it off.

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought it was a

67
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: bit you would expect. Well, I mean, Sinny knew he

68
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: was coming in. I had no idea.

69
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: I didn't know a second segment would get a text

70
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: from him saying it was like sixty two Wes is

71
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: a breeze, when more like, Okay, good for you, and

72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: he walks into the studio.

73
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, to chirp, to exalt in, finally putting to rest

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: thirty years of ownership by the Green Bay Packers. On

75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: a knight in Soldier Field, he was not welcome that morning.

76
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: He will be welcome today about an hour from now,

77
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: we'll check in with Laval Ketchup as I said on

78
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: the latest Twins news and what's going on in the

79
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: NFL and how he feels about his favorite squad as

80
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: it moves into its off season. He joined a ten

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: then some Timberwolves conversation around ten thirty five with one

82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: of my favorite of Timberwolves basketball. That is Britt Robson,

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: a frequent guest of mine when I'm sitting in during

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: the week. Over the years, Britt does an amazing job

85
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: of writing about this squad, and he will try to

86
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: make sense of where this team is. Finally got off

87
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: the schneid last night, the five game losing streak over.

88
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. So Britt will

89
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: chat NBA and Wolves with us at about ten thirty five,

90
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: and then at eleven, the very much alive Pete Bursich

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: will join to talk all things NFL Purple related, super

92
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: Bowl related and all that. Maybe a couple segments with

93
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: mister Bursich at eleven. So that's the get. That's the bit. Today,

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: three hours, three guests, and tomorrow it's double tea. I

95
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: do feel for those of you who spent your hard

96
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: earned money to tend a Wolve's game last night. That's

97
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: what always where my head goes in games like that.

98
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe some you know you bought your tickets

99
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: way back last summer looking at the schedule whenever the

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: schedule came out. Oh, Steph Curry's in town, Golden State,

101
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: couple games, you know, let's go check it out. Maybe

102
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: one of the last chances to see Steph Curry and

103
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, and you know, it turns

104
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: out none of them played last night. The JV squad

105
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: for the Warriors took the court last night and still

106
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: had a lead on the Wolves I'd say midway through

107
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Wolves without Anthony Edwards. Once again. That's

108
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: the tenth game Aunt has missed. Obviously, this was a

109
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: second game of a back to back and the foot

110
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: injury the foot right foot maintenance surprised to read this

111
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: morning that Chris Finch himself was surprised to learn shortly

112
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: before tip off that he was going to be unable

113
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: to go. He was out warming up, you know, getting

114
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: his shots in. By all accounts, the coaching staff expected

115
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: Aunt to play, but whether there was just some tenderness,

116
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: some soreness, they're gonna be really careful, especially as it

117
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: turned out the schedule switched a bit with the postpone

118
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: and of Saturday's game to Sunday. It became a back

119
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to back situation. That's probably why Steph Curry missed last night.

120
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: Draymond Green they were also without but we know Butler

121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and Kaminga aren't playing for them, Al Horford, the Anthony Melton.

122
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, basically six of their eight best players were

123
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: not playing. And we've seen that script before, right when

124
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves play a team that's missing virtually everybody, there's

125
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: no guarantee that you're going to get a w. And

126
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: there was no guarantee last night. It was choppy, it

127
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: was ugly. It was just again, if you paid your ticket,

128
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, ticket price to see the star as, you

129
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: were disappointed, and the quality of basketball was certainly lacking.

130
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, we can certainly understand how Saturday was. Sunday

131
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: even was a difficult day for the Wolves to play basketball.

132
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: It looked like it They didn't look like they were

133
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: into the game. They committed what nine turnovers in the

134
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: first quarter, and that sloppiness continued last night. Two two

135
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: turnovers last night. And that's hard to do. It's hard

136
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: to win a game by what doing the mathm. I

137
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: had twenty five points last night, they won by ultimately

138
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: committing twenty two turnovers. Rudy was very good fifteen points,

139
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: seventeen rebounds. Bones, who has been missing an action offensively

140
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: for a number of games, seems to be at his

141
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: best one AT's not in uniform for whatever reason, like

142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, suddenly he can the freedom is there to

143
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: not defer, to go after things, and Bones was very good,

144
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: but it was an ugly brand of basketball last night.

145
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: And it was one of those, as they say in

146
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: the business schedule losses for the Warriors, who you know,

147
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: probably figure, hey, we go to Minnesota, get a split,

148
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: that's all good. And they got the first one, and

149
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, realized, okay, we'll just take a foot off

150
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: the gas here. We got accomplished what we needed to.

151
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: We're going to preserve our guys because we are shorthanded

152
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: right now. I'm anxious to talk to Britt next hour

153
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: about the tim Wolves, where the trade deadline is less

154
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: than two weeks away, or is it it's like the twelfth,

155
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: maybe it's two weeks from today. It's coming up. It's

156
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: hard to believe the Wolves are not going to be

157
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: players on some level to add some scoring punch to

158
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: that second unit. Because when Bones can do what he

159
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: did last night, okay we can. We can all get

160
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: through that. You know, Nas gave you the typical fifteen

161
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: points and Bones finally supplied some offense. But when he

162
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: doesn't and he hasn't of late. They don't have much

163
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: punch on that second unit. You have to believe they're

164
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: going to look for someone to offer up some help

165
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: in that level. So a Wolves win, a five game

166
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: losing streak gone, and they have another back to back

167
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: situation happening here tomorrow and Thursday at Dallas Wednesday and

168
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: then Oka See Thursday here. So immediately, I'm sure many

169
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Wolves fans are wondering, well, does that mean that if

170
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: at plays Tomorrow night in Dallas, then he's gonna sit

171
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: for Oka See? Or does he sit tomorrow night in

172
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: Dallas so that he can play against Okac or is

173
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: he gonna play both? You know, I'm very curious to

174
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: see how the team handles that. Starting to get concerning

175
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: though ten games Ant has now missed with a foot injury.

176
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: That sounds like it's not just going to get better.

177
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe, you know, maybe he doesn't play in

178
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. You know, there's all this hands

179
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: up in the air, the hands ringing that Ant didn't

180
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: make a starting didn't get a starting job at the

181
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: All Star team, didn't get a starting nod. I don't

182
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: know if he's all upset about it because he hasn't

183
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: really done much the last two All Star Games he's played,

184
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: it hasn't seemed really interested. This seems like the year

185
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: where he needs to just rest for a week or

186
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: ten days and get that foot right. This team is

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: going to make a second half surge as we've seen

188
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years, so well, many of

189
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: us would love to see him play. I'm leaning to

190
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: our let's just take the week off, get that foot

191
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: as right as possible, and move on. I think, mister

192
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: Blakemore today is going to be a very football heavy,

193
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: which is obviously the theme of this show every day,

194
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: nine to noon football heavy. So I want to dive

195
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: a lot into off season stuff for both of our teams,

196
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: although technically it's not off season yet for a couple teams.

197
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, do we have Jonathan Gannon fan line scheduled at

198
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: any point in time today?

199
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we can rule it out, you know,

200
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't think, hey, hey, he's a former Viking coach,

201
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, comeing to to lead the Viking, to lead

202
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: the Packers defense. I am going to ask Bursch about

203
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: his impressions of Gannon when he was on Zimmer staff

204
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm luke warm to the higher myself. Well, we'll dive

205
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: into it. I'm whelmed. Are you whelmed?

206
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not under or over. Yeah, I'm just swhelmed.

207
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'll play.

208
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Would have been a fun story. Al Harris would have

209
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: been a fun story.

210
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm just afraid they panicked and signed

211
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: him quickly because they were afraid if they waited to

212
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: talk to Leonard that someone would scoop him up. I

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: actually liked, you know, Deronte Jones is a candidate the Vikings,

214
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: a secondary coach who's apparently going to take the job

215
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: in Washington. Good for him, congrats the Brian Flores tree

216
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: spreads another branch. I would have been just fine with

217
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Deronto Jones as the Packers DC go the young, up

218
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: and coming route, first chance, as opposed to the failed

219
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: head coach who had a good couple of years in

220
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: Philly with really talented defense. I just I still can't

221
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: get past seeing Gan and like really awkwardly talking to players.

222
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember some of.

223
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: Those Yeah, it started circulating once they hired him.

224
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: Oh did it? I didn't help that cant It's cringey, right.

225
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: It's like I can't remember. It was like is your

226
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: gas tank full? Or something like that. He kept asking players,

227
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: is your gas tank full? It may not be the

228
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: exact words, but it was just so cringe and you

229
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: just watch it and go, this isn't a leader of men.

230
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: This is a substitute teacher. Yeah, it's like, look where

231
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: I am. Oh my god, I got this job.

232

Speaker 1: Sinnecon sitting in today with Brett Blakemore by my side.

254
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,640

00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: of the day.

00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: Legally I do not sleep here, but I have slept

258
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: here in the past.

259
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: You had today? This is a day night doubleheader for you. Correct.

260
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I get calming off so that I'll hit

261
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: a bucket of balls, come back and we'll we'll sit

262
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: in with bump.

263
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: Very nice, very next couple of days. Very good. Uh.

264
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: As I said, I'm here today and tomorrow double te

265
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: joining in studio tomorrow for a Wednesday in the Zone edition.

266
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: We haven't chatted since the championship games went down on Sunday,

267
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: two very different games. I didn't realize the weather was

268
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: coming into Denver. I had not seen that. Last I

269
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: heard it was going to be a beautiful like they

270
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't either, Is that right? I mean?

271
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it just came out of nowhere.

272
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know if the forecast had called for it,

273
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: and I just hadn't seen it. Because you know, and

274
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: I still am of I love football games like that.

275
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, snow globe football games to me, are as

276
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: good as it gets. And obviously we're going to see

277
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer as some of the cold weather teams

278
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: put domes on their stadiums, whether it's the Bears or

279
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Next not that the Chiefs steal with a

280
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: lot of cold weather, but it can get cold in

281
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City. They've had below zero games.

282
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: There's the one game against Miami where it was like historically,

283
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: that's right in Kansas City.

284
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: It's funny how some of those cities, like Kansas City

285
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: or Cincinnati, because remember the famous Cincinnati game was the

286
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: coldest ever. I think those are the cities that always

287
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: end up with the records. It's not the Green Bays

288
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: or the Chicagos. It feels like when it comes to

289
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: temperature outside of the ice bowl.

290
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, I mean if Green Bay made the NSC

291
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Championship game or even the divisional round, I mean that

292
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: was when the exploding tree factor was happening, that is correct,

293
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: So that would have been probably up there.

294
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Are you a fan of playoff games being impacted sometimes

295
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: severely by weather or does it bug you that that

296
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: sort of takes over sometimes?

297
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: I feel like it would be sacledge for me to, yeah,

298
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: say the opposite. Yeah, But like I know that Kurt

299
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: Warner is a guy who just hates it, thinks every

300
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: playoff game should be in a dome no matter what.

301
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that the I think there's a difference

302
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: between a snow globe game and a snow game, if

303
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: that makes sense. The ones where you can't run, you

304
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: can't see the the wiless scrimmage, Yeah, and then there's

305
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: the snow globe where you just see the flurries around

306
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: and it's cold. I think it's still impacts the game,

307
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: but I think the flurries is more of a mentality thing.

308
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: Like you know, when we have the Dolphins at Lambeau,

309
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: it they just didn't want to be there and it

310
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: was immediate in the first quarter, like the Packers just

311
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: gonna roll because they don't want to be there. I

312
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: think the AFC Championship game was more of a more

313
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: of attrition, like who could just handle it decently well,

314
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: especially with two good defenses. So I don't know, I'm

315
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: kind of on the fence, but I can't in all

316
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: good I can't be a hypocrite and say I don't

317
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: like outdoor games. So yeah, I like it. I like

318
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: a flurry game.

319
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. I like seeing what teams can can

320
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: withstand the the weather, the snow, the ice. Cold though,

321
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: when it's that cold, because I immediately when we started

322
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: having this conversation, my thought back to the coldest game

323
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: I've ever been to, which was the seven NFC Championship

324
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: game Packers Giants. That as far as last game as

325
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: a Packer, and I remember I was in the press

326
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: box for that game. Oh good for me. That might

327
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: have been the last time I've been in an NFL

328
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: press box. By the way, the seven NFL title game,

329
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: I can still see the couple of New York and

330
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: you keep asking for credentials. I still do. I'm not

331
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 1: going to stop a couple of media guys from New

332
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: York just went crazy when Far through the interception and overtime,

333
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: and the rest of us just looked at him like,

334
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? You're in a press box. Be

335
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: a professional. But what struck what struck me a that

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: day was I did not dress properly for the occasion.

337
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Now I knew I was going to be inside, so

338
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: I just didn't wear anything. Cold. You some banging going on,

339
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: some construction going on. Just fell hate when that happens.

340
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: But I remember that day. I walked all the way

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: around the stadium to get to the media will call window,

342
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: and I hadn't have boots on. I just had like

343
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: sneakers on, and my feet from ten minutes outside were

344
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: completely frozen. And I remember going up to the press

345
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: box and watching the teams come out, and one player

346
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: stood out looking like he had absolutely no interest in

347
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: being outside, and that was Far. He just looked he

348
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: was an older guy by that point, but he looked

349
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: so done with that temperature, and he played that way,

350
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: and we had an awful game. And that was the season.

351
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: Green Bay went I think fifteen and one, and they

352
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: were the number one seed and looked like it was

353
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: going to be the last hurrah another super Bowl for

354
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Farv in Green Bay, and the weather did definitely impact

355
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: his performance, and Eli handled it much better. But no,

356
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm a guy that enjoys seeing which teams can withstand.

357
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: Even though you get to all the way to this

358
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: point to the championship game, and you're playing in conditions

359
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: where a thirty three yard field goal is a complete

360
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch my couch in the fireports so fun,

361
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: especially now we have HD so the snow flurries look good.

362
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that game. I did feel bad obviously, watching

363
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: a Denver team that had gotten so far and now

364
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: had to deal with, you know, playing with Jared Stodham.

365
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: But to think, you know, the season is so long

366
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: that August seems like forever ago. But to think if

367
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: some Yahoo would have said, I don't know, I kind

368
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: of see a Seattle, New England super Bowl coming. I

369
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: don't know about you guys, I mean, it would have

370
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: been just like, what what sport do you follow? Lamb,

371
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Darnold Drake May, Why not that's the super Bowl matchup

372
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: we all want to see. It's in large part, I

373
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: think for me, it's what makes the sports so fun

374
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: as you do get just these completely out of nowhere.

375
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: How many years has it been Patrick Mahomes year after year? Right,

376
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: it's just like clockwork. We're going to see the Chiefs.

377
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: It's refreshing and for those fan bases just to be

378
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: completely gob smacked that their teams are in the super Bowl,

379
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: especially Patriots fans, who are the least deserving fans to

380
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: be back in the super Bowl after the the love

381
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: they've had with the Tom Brady era, to see the

382
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: Chips fall the way they did this year and all

383
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: the big the heemoths of that conference go by the wayside,

384
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: and here they are the last team standing after yeah,

385
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: playing a historically weak schedule, I mean historically week. I

386
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: think they played two teams with a winning record the

387
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: entire season, but they won them, and they won every

388
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: road game. They're the first team I think to win

389
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: every single road game that they played to get to

390
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, including the playoffs. So you know, I

391
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: think you have to feel good for that team to

392
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: make up what four wins last year to get to

393
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And then there's the NFC game, which

394
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: was a classic. I'm not going to hash too much

395
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: into the Sam Donald stuff. I feel like that was

396
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: probably yesterday's news.

397
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: But Charge did go heavy on the Darneld.

398
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, it's rather ironic right that that

399
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: he was here last year and now he's in the

400
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But I just getting past the whole Vikings connection.

401
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: How can you not feel good for this kid who

402
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: had to endure the New York media, the whole Seeing

403
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Ghosts episode that I don't know, I like many people

404
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: at that point said he's done like that, that's the

405
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: last we're going to see from Say, how do you

406
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: come back from I was seeing ghosts out there? I mean,

407
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, to come from that how many years ago

408
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: that was as the former number three pick, to fail

409
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: in New York, to make all the stops and to

410
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: end up in Seattle and get to a Super Bowl.

411
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how you can't feel good

412
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: taking your Viking's love aside, because you understand he might

413
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: be the love that got away as a human story,

414
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: a personal football story. For him to get to this point,

415
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: I think is great. And I'm much as I hate

416
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: to root for the Seattle fan base from some of

417
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: our issue with that squad over the years. It's gonna

418
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: be hard for me not to pull for him and

419
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: for that team. I was pulling for the Rams. I

420
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: had the DeVante Adams thing going. I wanted to see

421
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: him finally win an NFC championship. But at this point,

422
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: it's such a good story to see Sam Darnold climb

423
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: to the top. Other than that, though, it's not the

424
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: most intriguing Super Bowl matchup in the history of Super

425
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Bowl matchups. I think it'll be a good football game.

426
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: It should be.

427
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of points involved.

428
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: I think there's good yeah, and I think there are

429
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: two good defenses. But I think there's two good quarterbacks

430
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: as well that are capable of putting up points. I

431
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: actually like both quarterbacks as people. But I am not.

432
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, our history with the Super Chickens is tattered

433
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 2: with just horrible memories. So I'm not the biggest fan

434
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: of Seattle. And then New England is and Boston are

435
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: the most spoiled fans in America. And it's not close.

436
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: They've I mean, if there's someone my age right now

437
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: in Boston, they've probably had like, what twelve parades in

438
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: their lifetime, Yeah, and we've got none. So from a

439
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: fan who deserves it more. I guess you go Seattle,

440
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: but I just can't. I still can't stand Seattle from

441
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: the Richard Sherman days and the twenty fourteen. Yeah, I think, yeah,

442
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: I know. So I think it'll be a good actual

443
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: football game as opposed to just a blowout like last year.

444
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: So you did not attend the Links parades? Apparently that

445
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: happened well of the Core four parades.

446
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: But yes, so the Links parades are and the Frost

447
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: parades and the Minnesota windshield parades.

448
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: They did they have parades? Did did they have just

449
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: like celebrations Like Indiana didn't do a parade they did

450
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: a celebration at the stadium on Saturday.

451
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: If they didn't missed opportunity exactly right, exactly we need parades.

452
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: So where I would like to go today is what

453
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: flavor of quarterback Vikings fans do you want to see

454
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: brought in to compete with JJ. I mean, there's I

455
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: made a list. There's so many ways you can go.

456
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: I think we all can agree that there will be,

457
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, at least one accomplished quarterback that by accomplished,

458
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: it could be on very very different levels. You know,

459
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: you can go from the the Joe Burrow dream of

460
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: the major trade to Aaron Rodgers running it back one

461
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: more year, although it's got Mike McCarthy as his coach now,

462
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: so I don't know if Aaron might just be happy

463
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: to stay in Pittsburgh with his old ball coach. Do

464
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: you look for a trade for a mac Jones Jimmy Garoppolo?

465
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 1: Is that enough to excite you for comp? I mean,

466
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: it feel like this will be the first time in

467
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot of years that the Vikings are going to

468
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: go into next season as the clear cut team to

469
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: finish last in the NFC North. It doesn't mean they will, obviously,

470
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: but they will be predicted to finish fourth in the

471
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: NFC North. I somebody can remind me the last time

472
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: that was the case. It feels like it's a long

473
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: time ago. That's uncharted territory, and so I feel like

474
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: this organization is going to do more than yeah, let's

475
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: sign Gardner Minshew, you know, and see if he can

476
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: push JJ McCarthy. I think they're gonna try to take

477
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: a bigger swing. And the question is how big a swing?

478
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Is there any appetite to try to? You know, we've

479
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: seen the reclamation projects Darnold's the poster boy. We saw

480
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, who obviously left this organization and was off

481
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: to a great season until the injury, and he'll be

482
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: available too, although after the Achilles I don't know if

483
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: he'll be something you can count on next year. But

484
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: do you go for the reclamation project and swing a

485
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: deal for a guy like Kyler Murray or Tua and

486
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: feel like that KOC gets his hands on the talent

487
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: that those guys have shown, We'll take our chances there.

488
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: Or do you go the free agency route you know

489
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: where it's you know, an Aaron Rodgers or Trey Lance,

490
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. Dare I say, Russell Wilson. I'm just I'd

491
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: love to.

492
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: Know Ben Leaver just swerved off the side.

493
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know I felt that too. Yeah, six four,

494
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: six eighty six. The branch on Brian Kfa and text

495
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: line I'd love to get I don't know, some football

496
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: related texts that might be kind of nice today. I'd

497
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: love to know the appetite for Vikings fans on how

498
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: big a swing you want your team to take this offseason.

499
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: I understand this is going to be the primary talker

500
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: for this organization during the offseason. I mean the draft

501
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: of still months away. Coaching staff has come into focus

502
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: with the return of Flores. He's going to lose one

503
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: of his lieutenants in Dernte Jones, but the coaching staff

504
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: will be pretty much intact. There'll be big time free

505
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: agency decisions to make. Some very familiar names will not

506
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: be back. We all know this, but it's all going

507
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to come down to what they decide to do at

508
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I'd love to know what temperature you

509
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: guys have on what would make you happiest, And maybe

510
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: you think you know. I don't want to ruffle the

511
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: quarterback I got in the house. I still believe in JJ.

512
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: That's fine. I think we all can agree. They're going

513
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: to put some competition in place for young JJ in

514
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth season. More football conversation, much more

515
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: to come. Lavelle e Neil the third and a half

Speaker 1: the fans Sinecon sitting in today and tomorrow, Blake Moore

525
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: by my side. What's your level of anticipation for the

526
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics? Are you? Uh? Are you a Winter Olympics guide?

527
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: You not pay attention? Where are you?

528
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: I think the Winter Olympics are miles ahead of the

529
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: Summer for me and you, Cad, you probably take one

530
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: guess as to why there's a particular sport.

531
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: You understand there is more than hockey involved, right, and

532
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't.

533
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: Matter it just no. I do understand that I like

534
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: watching the snowboarding too, Like the halfpipe is a must

535
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: watch for me. But I just you know me, I'll

536
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: watch the Ryder Cup and be full team USA. Summer

537
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: Olympics I will be too. But this I mean the

538
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: movie I watched growing up the most was Miracle. I've

539
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: seen that movie hundreds, hundreds hundreds of times. I could

540
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: probably rewrite it from memory.

541
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: You're one of those guys that could just recite the

542
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: dialogue as you're watching, as I could do. Yeah, I

543
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: could do that with the movie stripes or animal House

544
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: might say, but so I can understand that.

545
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: Yea, why do you want to play college hockey? It's

546
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: an obvious for the girls. Yeah, I know that movie

547
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: by heart. And to see to Team USA, who we

548
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: haven't seen the pros play in a long time, which

549
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: I felt like our pro Americans are so far more

550
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: skilled and more talented than we were the last time

551
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: the pros went. I just can't wait to see what

552
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: they do. I thought four Nations face off. Yeah, they

553
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: lost to Canada in the finals. They played them tough

554
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: for six and a half periods, they beat them in

555
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 2: the first game. And this is McDavid McKinnon. I'm fired up.

556
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: I love you know, give me sports, a sports version

557
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: of nationalism every single.

558
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: Day and I'll be there for Yeah. It's tough to

559
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: beat that, for sure. I'm wondering. So it's in Italy,

560
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: that's what six seven hours ahead, just timing wise, when

561
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: we're going to see these games maybe early morning. You

562
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: want live, You have to watch stuff live these days, right,

563
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: It's so disappointing when you find out you're all excited

564
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: to watch US Switzerland and you already know what happened.

565
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: Whatever it likes.

566
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing when you when you watch like

567
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: English soccer like I do, you're used to getting up

568
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: at nine to thirty for kegs and eggs and watching

569
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: the game. No problem for me.

570
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: I enjoy the Winter Olympics too, I you know, grow up.

571
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: For me in the late seventies early eighties, it felt

572
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: like all the speed skaters were from Wisconsin, like Eric

573
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Heiden and those that there was that whole Dan Jansen,

574
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: that that whole era of and you know, the speed

575
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: skating rink wasn't far from you know where we in

576
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Milwaukee was, it was nearby. So we had this immense

577
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: pride in all these local kids, Wisconsin people making it

578
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: into the Olympics and winning gold medals and medals in

579
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: the Winter Games. And so as a kid, when that

580
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: hits you, that sort of stays with you, you know.

581
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: And so I still get jazz watching speed skating, skiing, luge,

582
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: bob sled, all that stuff. So I'm I am looking

583
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: forward to it as well. And again it's one of

584
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: those things when you get an Olympic year and your

585
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: sad football's over, but you know you got a couple

586
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: of weeks of fun competition to hang your hat on

587
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: watching our local curling experts go at it. Yeah, I'm

588
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: down for that.

589
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: Have you, as Wins gotten to you about the controversy

590
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 2: in the Olympic hockey rink and the drama around that.

591
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about.

592
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 2: So say they're rushing to get it built. They've just

593
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: kicked the can down the road for years and the

594
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: last second they're like, oh no, we got to build

595
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: this hockey rink.

596
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: Wait are you talking about for the games in a

597
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

598
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: Yep, they're rushing to get it done. They played a

599
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: test game like I think a week ago, maybe two

600
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: weeks ago, where a test game had to be stopped

601
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: because there was a hole in the ice.

602
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: Wonderful. Yeah.

603
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: They also didn't do the correct dimensions, so uh, their

604
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: rink is shorter length wise, I think by three feet total,

605
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: so I think one and a half feet on each side.

606
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: Is that noticeable? We could even know that that was

607
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: the if you hadn't told anybody, would they know?

608
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: Probably looking at it from like pictures, it looks like

609
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 2: the neutral zone is pretty oh, pretty tight. Every player

610
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: that's been asked about is like put us in the

611
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: parking lot with plastic sticks and we'll play, you know,

612
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: and I don't care. What's the deal is. It's just

613
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: frustrating that the IOC and the Olympic Committee can just go, yeah,

614
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: oh well, we'll build it the last second.

615
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Who cares? Yeah, what are your expectations?

616
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: I think to at least metal. If they don't medal,

617
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: it's not a successful Olympics. But I think there's no

618
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: reason they can't win gold. They can compete with Canada,

619
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: they can compete with anybody. They have the talent to

620
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: do it. They showed that during the Four Nations face off.

621
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: You don't have Russia to worry about. So it's those

622
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: four teams and everybody else. There's some other good teams

623
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: as well. But there's no reason they can't win gold.

624
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: So that's if they haven't done it since the miracle.

625
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: They've only done it twice nineteen sixteen, nineteen eighty.

626
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: I just saw that a few days ago, and I

627
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: was absolutely stunned to see that. I have did not

628
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: realize that was the last time.

629
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: Like I think wild winning a Stanley Cup. Packers winning

630
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. I think one rung below that for

631
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: me would be Team USA winning Olympic gold. I just

632
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: it's something I've always wanted to see and I've not

633
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: a lot of people have seen.

634
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: It, and the fan has learned. You were not on

635
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: this planet no when the miraclesse I was negative sick

636
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: teen yeah, yeah, and I was a senior in high school.

637
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: So there we go. And it wasn't on live. I

638
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: don't believe. I don't remember. I certainly don't remember watching

639
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: it live. I think we watched it on tape delay.

640
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: I think we yeah, but you know again, I don't

641
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: remember whether we knew the result when we saw it

642
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: or not, because it was such a different world back then, right,

643
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: there's no Internet. Nobody knew anything until the six o'clock

644
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: news came up.

645
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: They just teased U. Netflix just teased a new documentary

646
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: there's coming out on the thirtieth, so on Friday, that's

647
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: all about the miracle, and they already have put one out.

648
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it was Netflix. Maybe it was ESPN.

649
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: It was a thirty for thirty. From the Russian perspective,

650
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: that's a good watch as well, and how devastated they

651
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: were and the punishment that followed. Yeah, but this one's

652
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: coming back around from the Team USA perspective, and it

653
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: looks really good. They put out like a two minute

654
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: trailer for it, So that's an instant watch for me.

655
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: I was going to say, when I'm sitting here Saturday

656
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: with double Tea in the zone, you will have a

657
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: review for us. I'm guess yes, having dropped about twelve

658
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: hours earlier. Yep, on a good weekend. Plans for you?

659
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: Very nice? All right? So I threw out at the

660
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: end of the less break what your temperature is for

661
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback competition so far? And I haven't looked lately.

662
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: But during the break I got the first handful of

663
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: texts that came in. It seemed really clear cut. It

664
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: was like Joe Burrow or bust for a lot of people,

665
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: is that just the pipe dream? Like are we all

666
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: just imagining the discontent or are we reading into what

667
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Burrow was communicating late in the season and believing that

668
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: the hometown guy might be ready to leave that dysfunctional

669
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: organization And is the front office ready to make a

670
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: deal like that? And what would it take? Because what

671
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: was we threw this around a bit Saturday because it

672
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: broke a little bit that the offer might be something

673
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: like two number ones, a defensive starter aka Jonathan Grenard

674
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: and JJ McCarthy.

675
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 2: That was the rumored trade package.

676
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: So if that's the base, okay, If that's the base,

677
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: two ones Grenard and McCarthy for Joe Burrow, I have

678
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: a simple question.

679
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: Who says no, Yeah, where do I sign?

680
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: From Minnesota standpoint? How do you look Jonathan Gridard's by

681
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: all accounts, he's a fantastic football player, and it sounds

682
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: like an even better human being. I've heard him on

683
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: the station so many times, and I've seen what he's

684
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: done in the community. I don't take lightly just flipping

685
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: players like trading cards. Ah, but that's what sports is, right.

686
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: You're trying to win a Super Bowl, and if you're

687
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals and you're going to trade you know,

688
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe the most popular Bengal this side of Ken Anderson,

689
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: he's probably surpassed him at this point. You need to

690
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: somewhat soothe your fan base by bringing back a player

691
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: you know is going to help your team. You don't

692
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: know if the two number ones are going to help

693
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: your team, but I just that feels like a where

694
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: do I sign trade for the Vikings? From my perspective,

695
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: and again I don't come at it from your a

696
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of the listening's perspective, but I'll say this, and

697
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: we said this Saturday, the last thing I want is

698
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in the NFC North. I mean, I will

699
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: be terrified if he's on this team with his old

700
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: college buddy number eighteen to throw balls to. That's a

701
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: terrifying combination for me. And just build around him as

702
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: you will. I mean, the first order of business, obviously,

703
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: would be make sure that offensive line is somewhat more

704
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: stable than what he had in Cincinnati because what we

705
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: saw here this year, and we thought the front office

706
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: thought they did what they needed to do to solidify

707
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and whether it was injuries or dysfunctional play,

708
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: it just wasn't there. So there's gonna have to be

709
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: attention paid to the front line if you bring in

710
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Joe Burrow, I mean there is for

711
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: any quarterback you bring in. You want your line to

712
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: be great. But would you go further than that is

713
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: I guess my question. I mean, would you add it?

714
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: Would you go three number ones? If Cincinnati said, look

715
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: it's going to take three. You give us three three

716
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: ones and those guys we got a deal? Is that

717
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: the line of demarcation? Is that too much for Viking fans?

718
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: And the obvious cheap shot is have you seen Quacy

719
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: make picks? Like? Yes, okay, we'll take our chances.

720
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: Here's a text from Joe and Bimigi. Throw enough picks

721
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 2: and players at the Bengals to make Burrow dream a reality.

722
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: They whatever it takes.

723
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't blame them. I'm curious whether this

724
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: is something that sort of lives on in sports talk

725
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: radio this winter or if it gets shot down right away,

726
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: because I kind of hope this sort of hovers for

727
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: a while. Nothing's going to happen on is free agency

728
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: beginning of March typically, so we're we're probably five six

729
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: weeks away from any kind of movement. I'm just wondering,

730
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: from a financial standpoint, how far does this team want

731
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: to go? Do they want a fifty million dollar quarterback?

732
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: As you know, they love the idea of building a

733
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: roster around a rookie quarterback. Obviously that didn't pay dividends

734
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: this year. It doesn't mean it won't if you stay

735
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: the course, but it doesn't feel like it's heading down

736
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: that way. But if you go the free agency route,

737
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: and to me, the most appealing free agent is Malik Willis.

738
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: I just think, and that's just not me wearing green

739
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: and gold glasses. I think anybody who watched his performance

740
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: against Baltimore and every time he stepped in for Jordan Love,

741
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: he has looked like a real quarterback, a dangerous quarterback,

742
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: a two way quarterback. And he's going to get paid.

743
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: And I think I feel like he's going to get

744
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: Donald money. You know, like three years, what did Donald

745
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: get three for one hundred something like that? Thirty some

746
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: of the year.

747
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeh ish.

748
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: So that begs the question if that's what Malik Willis

749
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: is going to get and they're going to be suitors

750
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: out there, right. I mean, Miami is the most Corrizona. Yes,

751
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: Arizona certainly needs a quarterback, but as far as connecting

752
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: dots is as Jeff Hafley is now pillaging the Green

753
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: Bay Organization for coaches, he's already taken two defensive coaches

754
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: with him. Who knows if Gannon's going to keep those

755
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: guys anyway, right, but he knows Willis. He's been around

756
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: the room for a couple of years. He's seen the

757
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: growth that if you want to connect the dots, Miami

758
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: and Malik Willis feels like the marriage made in heaven.

759
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: And if he is given a Donald type deal three

760
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: years ninety one hundred, I'm wondering if the Vikings would

761
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: be wanting to be players in that game. Are they

762
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: willing to give up those kind of resources at that

763
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: position and just eliminating that whole We got a quarterback

764
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract. Look what we can do. This

765
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: is our window. And it worked for New England, right

766
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: We've seen it work for Denver until it didn't until

767
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: the injury. But that's a big part of it is

768
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: like do you want to commit the dollars a quarterback

769
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: or do you want to just get that that veteran

770
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: guy that needs a new home. That's going to be cheap. I'llah,

771
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: you know what we talked about Garoppolo, minshoot, Aaron Rodgers even,

772
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: and those are going to be lower cost guys. I'm

773
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: really curious. I'm fascinated by what this organization decides to do.

774
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: It's a real it's a really important time right now.

775
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: The division has changed. The Bears are not going anywhere.

776
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, they got cap room, they've got a young

777
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: quarterback that's getting better. The Lions aren't going anywhere at

778
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: least for a couple of years while Gough is still

779
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: GoF and you know Green Bay is going to be

780
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: in the mix as well. So the Vikings need to

781
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: make some kind of move and I'm I'm really curious

782
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: to see which way they go. But yeah, the early

783
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: take your temperature of the KFA and Texters is Joe

784
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Burrow would be the absolute dream. Yeah.

785
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: One text I wanted to kind of address is the

786
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 2: salary cap. So here so here it is. Here's Brian

787
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 2: and Iowa and says trade proprosal is a no brainer

788
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: for Burrow. I'm just curious how many other pieces of

789
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 2: players need to fall or get cut for the money

790
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 2: to work under the salary cap. When I was looking

791
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 2: at Walter Football and he was the one who reported that,

792
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: or at least it was the first one that I saw,

793
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 2: so I'm given him credit for the rumored trade package

794
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: for Joe Burrow under that or someone replied like, no

795
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: way were to the cap, and Walter Football replied to

796
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: that and said the salary cap isn't real.

797
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: Basically, saying you can make it work.

798
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: You can restructure a bunch of guys and turn it

799
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: into signing bonuses. And there's ways to make it work

800
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: where you don't have to cut your entire team to

801
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: make it happen. So I don't not that that's not

802
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: a real possibility. And I'm not an elite capologist mind,

803
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: but I feel like there's ways if you want to

804
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: make it work, you can make it work without cutting

805
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: your whole team.

806
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't even think that's an issue, right, I

807
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: mean they're likely going to cut TJ. Hockinson, correct. I

808
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: mean that's nine millions with savings in one player, you know,

809
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: and you.

810
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: Might accept Josh Oliver Ben Simms is that you're Are

811
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: you rolling with them?

812
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: No? You probably find the tight end. Yeah, there's going

813
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: to be a little more productive, accomplished tight ends available,

814
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: But you can't pay I don't believe you can pay TJ.

815
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: Hockinson the money he's going to make next year with

816
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: the production you've gotten in the injury concerns, and that's

817
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: just one player. I don't I'm not a great Minnesota

818
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: Vikings capologist mind, but you know, knowing Green Bay as

819
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: I do, and knowing that they're going to likely have

820
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: to cut guys like Rashaun Gary and Elton Jenkins and

821
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe kway Walker who's going to be a free agent.

822
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: There are ways to, you know, find ways to get

823
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: money into your hopper.

824
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 2: Here's a dan from Florida. He says Burrow is good.

825
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: When's the last time he made it a whole season

826
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: if he stayed healthy for the right price, not three

827
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: first rounders? To me, if your ceiling is that high,

828
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 2: you take the risk, you know what I mean?

829
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Yes?

830
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 2: Like it did it work out that Micah got hurt

831
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: and towards ACL and at tanked the rest of Green

832
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: Bay season? Yeah, that's stunk. Do you do that in

833
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: a heartbeat? You know, take that risk that some guy's

834
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: gonna get hurt. I don't care who it is. A quarterback.

835
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: There's a chance that one wrong step these days, that's

836
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: all it takes for a knee to get blown or

837
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: something horrible to happen.

838
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

839
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: I think you're when you're sealing a super Bowl like

840
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: Joe Burrows, is you take that risk?

841
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: For me? I agree? I don't look at Joe Burrow

842
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: and say damage goods like the guy's always hurt. You know,

843
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of seasons where he's had some injuries,

844
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: and you can also attribute the lack of an offensive line.

845
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: The guy's been sacked as much as anybody in football,

846
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: and he's a warrior man. He doesn't come out of

847
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: games unless they have to carry him out. So I

848
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: don't look at him and say I can't take him

849
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: damage goods. I still think he ends up staying in Cincinnati.

850
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bengals, who never seemed to care

851
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: too much about public relations, I don't think they could withstand.

852
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. Their coach is the only

853
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: coach that survived in that division this year, and he's

854
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: generally regarded, maybe as one of the worst coaches in football,

855
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: and he's the one guy that didn't lose his job

856
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: in the AFC North that that organization has no idea

857
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: what They didn't have an indoor practice facility until recently.

858
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the worst owners in sports. They're

859
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 2: right out there of the pole ads. They're terrible.

860
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: It feels like a pipe dream, but I understand the

861
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: appetite from any Viking fans. That would be the direction

862
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: I'd love to know how Vikings fans would feel about

863
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I mean, did you see enough to think

864
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: that at forty two, forty three he's got another year? Now? Again,

865
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play again. If he does,

866
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: he probably just stays in Pittsburgh with McCarthy. But if

867
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: he looks at it and goes, you know what, that

868
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: that that roster that receiving corps playing in the North again,

869
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: Do Viking fans want Rogers here? I mean the year

870
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: ago that the answer might have been a lot different.

871
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: I think that was the time.

872
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: And how about the fact that so Drake May. Just

873
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,959
Speaker 1: to get off the subject for a second, Drake May

874
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: is obviously dropping out of the Pro Bowl because he's

875
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. You see who he got replaced by.

876
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: I brought it up with bump yesteryear. I can't believe it.

877
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: Sadur Sanders is a pro can't even get it out laughing.

878
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean, look, but our guy is not a pro bowler.

879
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: Well, we're in a different conference.

880
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: I understand that, But how does well, I just don't

881
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 2: know that that sack from the NFC compared to the AFC.

882
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: I just went through, like, all right, so who could

883
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: they have chosen. Right, so we know that Josh Allen

884
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert are the other two quarterbacks in the AFC.

885
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean you could have given it to Aaron Rodgers, right.

886
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't great by any stretch, but.

887
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: Made the playoffs.

888
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: He took his team to a division title. Right. Trevor Lawrence,

889
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean he was really good. I mean he must

890
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: have said I'm injured or I don't. I mean, there's

891
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: no way you pass on Trevor Lawrence, who the last

892
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: six weeks looked like the guy that was coming out

893
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: of Clemson as the biggest camp miss prospecting years, right,

894
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: that he hasn't looked like at all until he finally

895
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: figured out what Liam Cohen wanted to do the last

896
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: month of the season. But yeah, he took his team

897
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: to great heights and you know, obviously into the playoffs.

898
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: Burrow and Lamar Jackson are perennial Pro Bowlers. Both had

899
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: up and down seasons and injury injury plague seasons, but

900
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: I would still give the nod to either of them.

901
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: A head of I actually thought it was an onion headline,

902
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: you know when I first saw it, Like, that's funny cute,

903
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: but no, it's it's real. And so for the rest

904
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: of his life, should Sanders can say I'm a Pro

905
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback. And we understand the Pro Bowl means virtually nothing.

906
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: Right the game is did they even play the game anymore?

907
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: They've gone back and forth.

908
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: So it's the Pro Bowl games that. Yeah, it's not

909
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: a football game anymore. I think there might be a

910
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 2: flag football something. Yeah, so it's not football.

911
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: It's mainly and it was incentives you might hit, right,

912
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: like if you have a Pro Bowl escalator in your

913
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: contract and now you can say you hit it. We

914
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: understand that in the grand scheme of things, it means

915
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: very little. But the fact that enough people watch Shador

916
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: Sanders what seven five six, seven starts and said, yeah,

917
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the top three quarterbacks in the

918
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: AFC right there. I think the Browns are gonna do

919
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: whatever they can to find somebody else to uh, to

920
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: be their quarterback.

921
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: It was like a five hundred quarterback at Colorado and

922
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,880
