I'm talking about. 25 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: Like like serious XM NFL channel, which includes the picks 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: of let's say occasional guest on this program and former 27 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback rich Gannon a number of others. Every place 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I look, I see the symbol of the Ravens, not 29 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: the helmet or the help horns of the Minnesota Vikings. 30 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: And I guess. 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: It surprises me a little bit because I get it. 32 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: The Ravens have their quarterback back, and their quarterbacks all 33 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: time record against the NFC is twenty four and three. 34 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: That's impressive. 35 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: They're a different team with him. 36 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: They're more desperate. 37 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: They go into this game needing it from a record standpoint, 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: even more than the Vikings do. Although losing you know, 39 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: any home games at this point, or continuing to lose 40 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: home games if you're the Vikings a bit of a problem. 41 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: But I I just figured, Okay, there's gonna be a 42 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: few people who say, yeah, the Ravens have recovered nicely, 43 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: but they're not unbeatable. They earlier in the season they 44 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: were giving up thirty seven points a game. Their defense 45 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: has played better, but the game is here. The Vikings 46 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: do have some webs. They are getting healthier, even though 47 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: allegedly the Ravens have literally nobody on the injury list. 48 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Have you found somebody? 49 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: So the first two results I had NFL Networks Game 50 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 3: Day three for three picked the Ravens. 51 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: Okay. 52 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: Then on the game previews that they put out on YouTube. Sure, 53 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: let's see one, two, three, four, five. So out of 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: ten pickers, nine of them Rave picked the Ravens. Only 55 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: one deed, Jeremiah, who I don't know what that is. 56 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: I don't either, Uh picked the Vikings to win twenty 57 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: four to twenty three. 58 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: And that's disrespectful. Yeah, they're gonna win. 59 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: They'll only win by one point, barely, barely, Yeah, grudgingly. Yeah, 60 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: it's and again, I guess I just don't see this. 61 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: It's being viewed almost as if it's like sort of 62 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: would be the upset of the century and they are 63 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: at home. 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm the Homer. 65 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Maybe I have become Polydanna. 66 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm I. 67 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Mean, as soon as I made the pick Friday, I 68 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: was second guessing it, but then I started getting more 69 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: stubborn about it and say. 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: Well, people, this is but. 71 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't think these are the which Ravens team won 72 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. This isn't the Ravens defense. It was 73 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: a two thousand two whatever year it was. Yeah, yeah, 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: the no, the trend Dilfer. Oh, talk about the trend 75 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Dilford defense where they want it all on defense. 76 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: It's not the eighty five Bears. It's like what what 77 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 2: do wait? What am I? What am I missing here? 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: So we'll see. I'm very I am. 79 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: As curious as anybody. Somebody says that ESPN commentator Peter 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: is it Schrader or Schrager. 81 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: I think it's proud of Schreger. He picked the purple. 82 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: He always picks the purple, though, doesn't he doesn't He 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: have some Minnesota connection I don't remember. More importantly, most importantly, 84 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: the Ravens are a ninety three on Madden, which seems high. 85 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Translate that for me, what does that mean? I don't 86 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: think that's true. You don't even think it's accurate. But yeah, 87 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: that Madden has their own overall team to do like 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,559 Speaker 1: a rating. 89 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: But I don't. 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: Oh, the Ravens are a ninety three. Yeah, the Ravens, 91 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: Yeah that's possible. Yeah, They've got a lot of talent. 92 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: So that is ninety three high? Is that a good 93 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: one hundred? One of the highest in the league. 94 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Bro Dan picks the Vikings because he's secretly a nine 95 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: fanatic skoll. 96 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's what it is. Dan. 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: Your Sunday alter ego is nine, as in on from 98 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Well, today it happens to be nine 99 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: to ten. No Gopher football Sunday today. Because the Gophers 100 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: were off, I'm guessing many of them watched their next 101 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: opponent take on in a driving rainstorm. The the Oregon 102 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: Ducks take on the Iowahawkeyes in a game that went 103 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: down literally to the last play of the game. Right, 104 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: A late field goal saves it for the Ducks. Found 105 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: somebody else? 106 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: Rap sheet? No, oh, rap sheet? 107 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: Aaron Jones LISTA is questionable with an ac joints brain 108 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: expected to play today. 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: Oh, not a surprise, Aaron Jones. 110 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: That's big if it's the real Aaron Jones, right, I mean, 111 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: if it's the one we saw bursts of last week. 112 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 2: Who had the stat? It may have been. 113 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: Our guy Alec Lewis. Yeah, an interesting stat. Vikings had 114 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: twelve plays last week that gained more than ten yards, 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: and Jones was responsible for a third of them. He 116 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: had four. He was very good before he got hurt, 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: so it is at least encouraging that he might be available. 118 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: Could this be the game where the cliche that we 119 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: were talking about back in the ancient days of Carson 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: Wentz or Carson Wentz as he's now called, might apply. 121 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: The power of completions compels you because everybody keeps telling 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: me the Ravens get no pressure. On the other hand, 123 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: I hear their secondary is excellent. So there's the conundrum, 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: as we say in the business, is this a game 125 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: where we might be able to do some stuff through 126 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: the air because Jmax is going to have time? Or 127 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: is that too risky based on the fact they have 128 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: at least two defensive backs that we could have drafted 129 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: that are all graded as among the best in the 130 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: National Football League. I also because Vikings football, I should 131 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: say Gopher football, Sunday was off this week with the 132 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Gophers idol again. They play Friday night in Oregon against 133 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: the Ducks, a game, of course you'll be able to 134 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: hear in the fan. I think that's an eight o'clock 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: Central start rather than seven, I believe, because it's the 136 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: games being played in the West Coast, so I believe 137 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: it's an eight o'clock Central. 138 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: We'll double check it. 139 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: Either way, it'll be on the fan, and so we'll 140 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: be on probably until six, being then preempted by the 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: Gopher pregame show because there were no go there was 142 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: no Gophers game, Packer Preview was allowed to sit in 143 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: the highly coveted eight to nine slot just completed. 144 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: You were a part of that as well. 145 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: Your club is hosting the Eagles Monday night, correct, that is? 146 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: And I I have to say I admire the discipline 147 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: of the host of that program, David Sinekon, because I 148 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: assumed at some point, even though the program is called 149 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: Packer's Preview, that he would be unable to help himself 150 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: as a hoosier rube like me and at least say 151 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: something about what is being hailed not just by me 152 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: but by football experts as a catch worthy of being 153 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: considered the greatest with the game on the line of 154 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: all time. Don't tweet at me. That's what folks at 155 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: a number of places are saying. It's best catch I've 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: seen in a long time. That allowed Indiana to come 157 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: from behind late to knock off the Penn State Nitley Lions, 158 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: and I just assumed, even though it was Packer preview, 159 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be able to help himself remarkable discipline. That 160 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: same discipline will not be revealed between nine and ten 161 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: o'clock we will have some hoo's your hotline. I'm no 162 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: longer going to apologize for it. It's my show and 163 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: every once in a while the host of the program 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: should be allowed to indulge. And if I can't indulge 165 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: now as a person who went to a school that 166 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: has have featured the losingest major college football program in 167 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: the entire. 168 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: Country, when the hell can I? 169 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: And I would say at this point too, they become 170 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: a national story that is interesting, regardless of whether you 171 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: have any affiliation with that beautiful campus in Bloomington, Indiana. 172 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: In our little pre show meeting that we have with Cynecicon, 173 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: where I say here's what I got for you think yes, yes, uh, 174 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: he said did you see the catch?

He's like, 177 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: stop everything you're doing. We're watching the catch right now. 178 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: So that's what we did. 179 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: I said it to so many people. Yeah. 180 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: In fact, I was angry with coach Perrero because she 181 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: didn't watch it. She knew nothing about it. Now this 182 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: so happens. She has a very busy schedule. But you 183 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: have to know this, You have to know when they're 184 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: playing and you have. 185 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: To see this catch. I still don't. 186 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Believe he got the second foot down properly, with keeping 187 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: the first foot up in the air in a way, 188 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: or not hitting out of bounds before the. 189 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: Full first foot came in. 190 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: Going as high as he did, You're not going to 191 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: ever see a better catch in a in a National 192 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Football League game, college game, etc. 193 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 2: It's remarkable. 194 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: So we will discuss a little bit of that before 195 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: in more detail before this program. 196 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: He's done. Is this game live on NFL Network? Is 197 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: this another European game? 198 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: Yes? 199 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: It is in Berlin. 200 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: I believe Berlin Colts smarting after their first really bad 201 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: performance in a while last week, leading Atlanta thirteen to seven. 202 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: Late in the first quarter, cam Binham had a strip sack. 203 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: Didn't need him. 204 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: We didn't need him, No, we didn't need him. Is 205 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: he still doing his dances and everything? So? Yeah, that 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: followed him in Indianapolis. It's a beautiful thing, is what 207 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: it is. All right, let's get our first pause in 208 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: I do have some Vikings Ravens steam to discuss, and 209 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: we'll get into a number of other controversial subjects between 210 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: now and ten o'clock. 211 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: Sunday. Sermon sprots You by J cr Rufin. 212 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens have beaten three teams so far this season. 213 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,479 Speaker 1: The combined record of those three opponents is nine and sixteen. 214 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: That make this an impossible game for the Vikings to win, 215 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: should it. They beat Cleveland early, they beat the Bears, 216 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: who do have a winning record, and have a chance 217 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: actually to go to a remarkable six and three if 218 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: they win at home today against the Giants, which probably 219 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: means they won't. And they dominated the Miami Dolphins. Now 220 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: I'll give them credit. The bad teams they've played, they've dominated. 221 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: They beat Cleveland by twenty four, they beat Miami by 222 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: twenty two, they beat the Bears by fourteen. But and 223 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: again they you know, some of the other losses, they 224 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: did not have their quarterback, which changes everything thing for them. 225 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: But again, I I just don't view that this has 226 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: to be set up as. 227 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: Well no, you got to pick the Ravens. You're kidding. 228 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: Were even talking about this game, which seems to be 229 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: sort of the national. 230 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: Consensus. We'll see. 231 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: That's, as they say in the business, is why they 232 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: play the game. And the Browns are a good team. 233 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: They are they're tough. Oh, they're a tough team to beat. 234 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so it. 235 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Is Carolina acquordingie. Yeah though, actually Carolina doesn't have a 236 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: horrible record. Yeah, they are above there, right, they're above 237 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: five hundred. Were they as good as the score indicated 238 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: defensively or was it more a number of self inflicted 239 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: wounds by your offense? Uh? 240 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: The Packers did not punt a single time, yet they 241 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: scored thirteen points. 242 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: How is that even? Is that ever happened in the 243 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 2: history of the league. Unexplainable? That's remarkable. 244 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, turnovers, penalties, yep, miskick SMIs kicks, and now you 245 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: lost your the soul of your offense the tight end, right, 246 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: one of them? 247 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, at least one of them for sure. 248 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: This is from lynn Wood Township guy. Everyone from the Stacey, 249 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota lynn Wood Township area commends you on the radio's 250 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: greatest radio lead in all of Twin Cities. Radio shows 251 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: from a Hero Samuel L. 252 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: Jackson. 253 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: We also agree talk Hoosiers, Go Hoosiers, enjoy this, go 254 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: to the playoff and make some noise. Well, they got 255 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: to make the playoff. At this point, the question is 256 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: can they hold on to their by now? I think 257 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: all they have left is Wisconsin off of victory field storming. 258 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah, there's been a lot of bitter But 259 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: who'd they beat? Was it Washington? Yes, Washington was ranked. 260 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: Who was ranked higher? Washington mines when Wisconsin beat him? 261 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: Or Nebraska when the Gophers beat I think Washington was 262 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: twenty three. Weren't they going into this game? I think so, 263 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: and I think Nebraska was twenty five. So I'll tell you, 264 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm actually, if you're asking me to like compare my 265 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: level of offense, I'm still more offended by Gopher fans 266 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: who rush the field after beating Nebraska. 267 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it. 268 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: In the case of Wisconsin's it's gallows humor is what 269 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: that's about. That's like Mike, Yeah, hell yeah, we're gonna 270 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: We've had nothing this season. So no, I'm I'm I'm 271 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: not with the consensus on this. I'm if I'm going 272 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: to be offended by either of them. I'm still gonna 273 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: be more offended by what Gopher fans did. And somebody 274 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: said there weren't that many Wisconsin fans left or even 275 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: in the building in the first place. 276 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: I don't know is that true. Have you seen the video? 277 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: The student section usually starts to filter out once jump 278 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 3: around it's done, which is really sad. 279 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is kind of sad. That's very, very true, Davy. 280 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: So in any case, I'm not here to tell you 281 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: that Viking should go into this game over confident, but 282 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: I just I think it's being set up in a 283 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: way that doesn't mesh with reality. And as I mentioned, 284 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: maybe I will get schooled. Maybe the Ravens will just 285 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: utterly dominate this game from start to finish. I'm very 286 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: curious to know what our approach is going to be, 287 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: as I said offensively, and let's face it, I mean 288 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: you could argue that in the end, what matters is 289 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: what happens upfront, as we learned. Really two weeks in 290 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: a row Chargers game, we got dominated there both sides 291 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: and weren't competitive. Last week at times, we dominated the 292 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: Lions at least enough to end up winning the game. 293 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: Much closer game, a game that probably was closer down 294 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: the finish that it needed to be saved a bad 295 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: the coaching decision bailed out by the young quarterback JJ 296 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy on a very good throw to wrap it up. 297 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: But that was the story. And I know a lot 298 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: of us have taken encouragement out of what the Vikings 299 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: did to the Lions running game. This is a very 300 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: different running game, is what everybody tells me. Right, I mean, 301 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: who's the best Lions running back? 302 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: Gibbs? Right, Gibbs is a scatback kind of a runner. Okay. 303 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: The guy who runs for the Baltimore Ravens is big, 304 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: is beast like basically, right, I mean, he's he's, he's 305 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: and he's playing. He's actually running quite well right now, 306 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: Henry So. And everybody tells me they when they want 307 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: to run the ball, they've got they use like three 308 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: extra offensive linemen and two tight ends. Basically, they have 309 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: ten people at the line of scrimm. Now I guess 310 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: it'd be nine, the quarterback and the running back. So 311 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: it's a different it feels like a different kind of 312 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: a challenge, and it is undeniable that against running backs 313 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: with some mobility the Vikings have not been very successful 314 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: at all this season. The assumption is they'll go to 315 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: some sort of a form of a spy approach, but 316 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: whether that works against Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, et cetera, 317 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: it's very very difficult to say. 318 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: I think CJ. Ham is back. 319 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: That should help for us on the offensive side in 320 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: terms of pass protection. So we'll see how it goes. 321 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: And again, the Ravens defensively have been very inconsistent in 322 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: that the defense lately has recovered nicely. They gave up 323 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: I think they gave up almost forty points a game 324 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: in four of their first five games, and now the 325 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: last three, what have they given up? Seventeen against the 326 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: Rams that was a loss, But you know seventeen, they 327 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: gave up sixteen to the Bears, that's thirty three, and 328 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: they gave up six to Miami. 329 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: That's thirty nine. 330 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: But again I'm going to factor in the Rams gaming lost, 331 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: and you know, the Bears, obviously their offense is improving. 332 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: They put up forty seven on the Bengals, but the 333 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: Bengals are pretty bad defensively at this point. Miami's dreadful. 334 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: Did you also see this is a sidebar. The Bears 335 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: probably best receiver is rome A Donsay. Do you hear 336 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: about that controversy this week? So A Donsay's dad apparently 337 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 1: is one of those dads where if his kid doesn't 338 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: get the ball thirty two times, he gets annoyed, and 339 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: he gets annoyed publicly, And apparently he expressed some public 340 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: bitterness via acts or Insta or someplace about the number 341 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: of receptions. I think A dunes they had won in 342 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals game. But isn't there a certain tone deafness 343 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: to complaining about how many opportunities your kid had when 344 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: the team scored forty seven points? 345 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 346 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: If a team had scored like fourteen or fifteen, he go, 347 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I mean that's that's it. 348 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: You gotta target. 349 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: But when the teams when they end up with forty 350 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: seven points, I'm gonna guess that's not the time to 351 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: make whatever point you think you're making about whether the 352 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: team Ben Johnson is properly utilizing your son's wide receiver gifts. 353 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: Correct. 354 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: I think that just goes to show how stupid making 355 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 3: those comments are. Yeah, because it's just ten, but they 356 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 3: don't see it. 357 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: That way. No, they don't. 358 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: They take it very very personally so, and I'm might 359 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: even accept it more last year, when you didn't have 360 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: a great offensive mind in charge of this offense, you 361 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: at least do have Ben Johnson knows how to run offense. 362 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he can't make mistakes, doesn't mean this 363 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: team is ready for the super Bowl. 364 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 2: But very very odd. 365 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: But that's kind of the world in which we live, 366 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: as we've learned over and over again. 367 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: Bottom of the hour pause. 368 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: Now we'll get to some texts, a lot of good 369 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: texts coming in on a number of controversial subjects. I'll 370 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: ask again, among Vikings fans, what is your level of 371 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: fear and loathing for this game? 372 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: What is your level of confidence? 373 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: Is it pretty much the same as the national outlook 374 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: that basically says, no, this is not the Vikings game. 375 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna lose again and they're gonna go back under 376 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: five hundred. One of my favorite national football shows. I 377 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: know it's one of yours as well, Brett play more 378 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: Moving the Chains A yes, Moving the Chains with Jim Miller, 379 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: former Bears quarterback, among others and Pat Kerwin. It just 380 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: popped up Week ten Picks Ravens and Vikings, Miller Baltimore, Kerwin, Baltimore. 381 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: It's never ending. 382 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: It's could be the upset of the century, apparently, if 383 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: we find a way to win this ball game today, 384 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: and according to. 385 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: Our texts, most people agree. 386 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: Jim Wrights one emotional letdown two, Lamar three, Henry four, 387 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: Ravens by ten. Pete from Pequot, Dan Vikings lose by thirteen. 388 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: Lamar runs and throws with a vengeance. See if I 389 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: can find anybody who's gonna pick the pay attention. Dan 390 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Vikings fans are feeling exactly the way we felt all season. 391 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: We have no clue what to expect. As from Lee 392 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: on Musk Guy. For me, this is the first Sunday 393 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: of football season. It feels normal to this point. The 394 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: season felt like a malaise. Eight thirty am start seven 395 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: thirty here in Boulder. It's from flim flam primetime games 396 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: wentz winging, wins, et cetera. No quarterback drama this week, 397 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: plus back to back noon kickoffs. Finally some routine to 398 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: my football enjoyment. Maybe that ubuntu in sense of relief 399 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: after the Lions win leaks into the locker room. Vikings 400 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: win by nine, thirty three to twenty four. 401 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: Here's one. 402 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 3: Yes, Aaron and Mendota Heights says Ravens overrated nine overheted 403 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: pa always elated Vikings in five. 404 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 2: That's that's standing. 405 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: Can you hit the calendar calamity for me? Yes, you 406 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: can find that if on the run. 407 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 3: Here is here to Minnesota Sports calendar of calamity. 408 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: Do you know what happened on this day? Really not 409 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: so long ago, even though it feels like it was 410 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: only yesterday. D'Angelo Russell, then a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, 411 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: forgot to check in, meaning that the the Timberwolves were 412 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: forced to defend for one possession down the court with 413 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: four defensive players. Here's the way Chris Heine wrote it. 414 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: Timberwlves have played plenty of mindless basketball to start this season, 415 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: but just when it seems their low lights have hit 416 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: the Nader, they come up with a moment like the 417 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: one in the second quarter of Wednesday's one twenty nine 418 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: to one to seventeen loss to the Suns. It was 419 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: a moment that wasn't overly significant to the final score, 420 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: but one that typified the frustration of watching a team 421 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: that can't or doesn't want to get out of its 422 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: own way. After falling behind by fourteen points after the 423 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: first the Wolves cut Phoenixes lead to eight, with the 424 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Angelo Russell set to check in, except Russell didn't check 425 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: in before play resume. Russell appeared to think he was 426 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: entering for Jalen Noel, the free throw shooter, but instead 427 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: he was entering for Tarrian Prince, who had already made 428 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: his way to the bench. As the Sons came down 429 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the floor, Russell remade to the scorer's table, and Phoenix 430 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: was able to hit an open three on the power play. 431 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: Phoenix's lead back to eleven, and soon enough it had 432 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: an eighteen point lead at halftime. The gaff passed around 433 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: social media circles within minutes. Here's the quote from dil 434 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: Classic DLO after the game. We know what happened. I mean, 435 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: that's all I got. We know what happened. I mean, 436 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: that's all I got. Sons were playing without Chris Paul 437 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: and Cameron Johnson, but still managed to embarrass your favorite 438 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: basketball team under those circumstances. That was in That wasn't 439 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: that long ago. Twenty twenty two was when that game 440 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: was indeed played. So that's that's an oldie, but a goodie. 441 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: I have not seen anything. 442 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: I think. I think Dillo is in Dallas now. I think. 443 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: I have had no idea. I don't I'm in baking. 444 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: They're struggling as a team. I don't know how he 445 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: has played during that stretch. A couple of people are 446 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: reminding us that Roman Dunze not only to add insult 447 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: to injury, regarding what his dad tweeted after the Bears 448 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: victory against the Bengals. 449 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: He dropped the pass. 450 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a touchdown pass or not, 451 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: but he had at least one drop in that game 452 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: as well. Another reason to probably stay away from any 453 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: sort of commentary, that's for sure. Dan. This is from 454 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: John in Plaia Vista, California. Dan, what's more satisfying the 455 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: sound of a perfect swish shot in basketball, the crack 456 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: of a bat on a home run, or the home 457 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: crowd noise chriscending to a burst when the home team 458 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: sacks the quarterback. The Vikings will need multiple sacks on 459 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: Lamar broken Place today in order to win. Fingers and 460 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: horns are crossed. He's a tough guy to sack, but 461 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: it's not impossible. It has happened, and it obviously would 462 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: be helpful. The Vikings got really good pressure. I thought 463 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: on golf it is funny, I mean the way we 464 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: look at that game. I mean, because I agreed, I 465 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: viewed it as a really good game for the defense. 466 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: The defense really did set the tone for every other 467 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: part of that team, and yet they still gave up 468 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: twenty four. It wasn't like they pitched a shot out 469 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: or anything close to it, but it still felt like 470 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: there were stretches in the game where they did a 471 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: great job frustrating what the Lions when they're going, they're 472 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: just free and loose and everything just seems to come 473 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: easy to them. 474 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: And it did not come easy for them, that least 475 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: after that first drive. 476 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: And then they did pick up again a little bit late, 477 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: and god knows what might have happened if they gotten 478 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: the ball back, if the Vikings had not been able 479 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: to convert. But nevertheless, a certainly a good defensive performance. 480 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: Mike from clok CA says Vikings by six. Our defense 481 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: is clicking. Henry will commit two fumbles today they could use. 482 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: They had a big takeaway last week. 483 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: On a fumble. 484 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: Buyer running back. Henry has been known to put cough 485 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: the ball up. That would be very, very helpful. So 486 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: now it's turning. Now we got nothing but people picking 487 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: the vikings at this point. So Kevin from Elk River 488 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jackson catch versus Nebraska last year was a better catch, 489 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: much less on the line, but a better catch. 490 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: That's he's hit on. Why that's irrelevant. 491 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: When we start for me evaluating catches, it's the context 492 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: of the catch as well. 493 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: The game is over, not literally because I. 494 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: Think Indana would have had one more play, but it's 495 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: the final seconds of a season that needs you to 496 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: score to prevent well, to take away the possibility of 497 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: an undefeated season. Number two ranked, I don't think. I 498 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: don't think the Gophers were they second ranked last year 499 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: against Nebraska. 500 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think so. 501 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is when people start talking, well, well, no, 502 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: there's been better catches. No, it's it's the catch and 503 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: the context. It's the combination of both that to me, 504 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: we're playing a semantical game. The greatest catch there has 505 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: to be for me some. 506 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: Piece of it. 507 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: That is, when the catch was made and in the 508 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: circumstances yesterday for Indiana, it was going to be the 509 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: difference between winning and losing, between maintaining an undefeated season 510 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: and that undefeated season obviously ending and Omar Cooper Junior. 511 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, you have to see it, 512 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: and the best way to see it is the slow 513 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: motion version of it, because I was convinced it was 514 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: going to be overturned when I first saw it and 515 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: I saw what looked like the is that the back judge, 516 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't know which reference official that is. He's watching 517 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: it like a hawk, and he very calmly raised his 518 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: hands like touchdown. 519 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: I'm going, oh, no, no, that can't be. 520 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: And then even the first time I saw it on replay, 521 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: I said, no, I think his first foot was out, 522 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: already touched out. And even if that didn't happen, I 523 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: think the heel of his second foot grazed that back line, 524 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: and it ultimately neither proved to be true. His one 525 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: foot he leg he kept up. Somehow in the second 526 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: one he managed to turn it in a way that 527 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: that there was never a time where that foot was 528 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: out of bounds. And by the way, on that drive, 529 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Becker, who hadn't even really been much of a receiver, 530 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: this year, had a great game. He made a catch 531 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: on the left sidelines that was also very highlight worthy. 532 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: Now I did see the head coach signetti. He had 533 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: apparently felt he had to embellish the drive. He said, 534 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 1: Indiana after a sack, had we're back, was backed up 535 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: to its own two yard line. Indiana never gotten washed 536 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: that far back, although there was a sack on first down, 537 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: so it was a second to seventeen play. 538 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: I will tell you this too. I'm not a big 539 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: tank guy. 540 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: You know. I don't like tanking. I don't like the 541 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 1: concept of it. There's no it's just it's a bad feeling. 542 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: I'd be tempted to tank for that quarterback. 543 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: He is going to be. 544 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a he's got a chance to be 545 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: a big time professional quarterback. Mendoza he is. 546 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 2: I mean, we're. 547 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: Talking about kahones the size of church bells. On that drive, 548 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: after he gets sacked early, he just thrown an interception. 549 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: And the way he started zinging the ball around to 550 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: get them back in position to steal that game, I 551 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: can see why. Even before that game a lot of 552 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: the scouts were saying he was gonna be the first 553 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: or second quarterback chosen, big strapping lad, big guy. 554 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: Not a great runner, but got a little. 555 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Bit of ability to to to run occasionally. But he 556 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: can he can wing the ball. So we'll see as 557 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: we go forward. But I think a catch. You can 558 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: always pick a catch in the first quarter and say, well, 559 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: that was technically the best catch I ever saw. But 560 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: for me, it has to be directly connected to the circumstances, right. 561 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean this when the stakes are higher in the 562 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: game itself, or the circumstances in the game late in 563 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: the game, than to me, it changes pretty much everything. 564 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 2: Give me your wild update. 565 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: We we we beat the Islanders, right, okay, Well the 566 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: Islanders aren't very good, are they. They're okay, they're okay, 567 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: they're above five hundred. Oh okay, I'm sorry. I probably 568 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: not giving proper credit there. I'm still smarting from the 569 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: previous game, where once again it was we deserve better. 570 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: I heard that nonsense again, even though even though a 571 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: key turnover is what was the cost of the game 572 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: winning goal? 573 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 3: Correct, right, But we didn't have Zucarello, wouldn't have euros, 574 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 3: we didn't have and who look great and neither one 575 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 3: of the goals I thought were his fault. Interesting, So 576 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 3: I think there might be the start of a little 577 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 3: run or not, but it could be. I mean, the 578 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 3: reason I'm more excited about that is because of the 579 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 3: additions not being sarcastic, and. 580 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: At least it gives you, it gives you some sign 581 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: of Okay, let's see now with with with the with 582 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: with you know, putting the gang back together. 583 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it might fit. I'm back to well new editions 584 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 3: are you know? It's not the Twins new editions where 585 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 3: you're getting back and that's a good trade, but it 586 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 3: is an addition, top line, and they connected immediate and 587 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 3: Caprice off that. 588 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's his there's a connection there. Correct, That's 589 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: undis one of the prettiest goals I've ever seen. That's nice. 590 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: Are we going to have Kyle Potter on this week? 591 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: Regarding the canceled flights? Sounds like things are unraveling. Yes, 592 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: we even talked about it doing it late last week 593 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: and then ultimately did why did you say guardsy to connect? Yeah, yeah, 594 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: well he's he's he's got a good vibe with with him. 595 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll definitely try to add that early in 596 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: the week. The way he bent his knee on the 597 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: lead foot to keep it in the air and drag 598 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: the backfoot while making a spectacular grab is remarkable. That's 599 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: from Jeremy in h in Richfield. Yeah, that's the part 600 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: that I still now. Here's my question, what's the rule 601 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: in college football? In other words, I thought on the play, 602 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: the defensive back who was there. 603 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 2: Didn't do a very good. 604 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 1: Job of just trying to shove him his entire body out. 605 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: So if you get shoved in the old days of 606 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, it could be ruled you didn't give the 607 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: receiver a chance to come down and bounds. Does anybody 608 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: know whether that exists? That rule exists in college I 609 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: don't think it does, So my point is if it doesn't, 610 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: the mistake to me was you got to be really 611 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: aggressive because he's got the ball. You're not going to 612 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: be called for PI at that point. You got to 613 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: do everything your play there is, forget making a play 614 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: on the ball. Just shove him so he has less 615 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: of a chance to get that foot because I don't 616 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: think he could have gotten the foot down unless I'm 617 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: missing something I don't believe. 618 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: So I think that is the case. 619 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 3: If you would have shoved him out, I don't think 620 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 3: there would have been any flag for that. I think 621 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 3: that's out of bounds. And that's that the Wild. 622 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: Get talked about before the Loons. What happened to your 623 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals participation requirements? 624 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: Uh? You want to give us a Loons update? 625 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 3: So they had a really rousing win yesterday. It was 626 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 3: game three of their series. They go down two goals 627 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 3: within eight minutes and think, here we go, first round 628 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 3: next to again for a Minnesota team. They score to 629 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 3: make it one to two, but then they get a 630 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 3: red card to the forty first minute, so they're down 631 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 3: a man the rest of the game. Before even the 632 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: first half is over, they score again to tie it. 633 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 3: They score again and take the lead. Seattle ties at 634 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: three to three. They go into a shootout which goes 635 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 3: ten rounds before the Loons finally win. Move on, it's 636 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 3: the next round of playoffs in Allen, it's a fun game. 637 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but you still say it with a little 638 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: bit of that condescension. Well, I just don't want to 639 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 1: because you think it's a cute little league. 640 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 3: Well if I overstay the Loons welcome, then I can 641 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 3: feel the text coming in. 642 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: Going, we don't care about Oh is that true. Oh yeah, 643 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: but it was good. It was a great game though. 644 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: Thirty one nine Ravens right, six point two? Guy, The 645 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: win against the Lions was fool's gold. 646 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 2: Wow. 647 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. I am ready for this game. I 648 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: am very curious. And the beauty of it is, well, 649 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: the I likes watching all the NFC North games. So 650 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: the good news is your team's Monday Night. Unfortunately, the 651 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 1: Bears play at the same time. Right, the Bears are 652 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: taking on the Giants, and that's our next That's the 653 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,439 Speaker 1: Vikings next opponent, right, I think we've got the Bears here. Yep, 654 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: next week as well. I just hope that the team 655 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: has showed up in Detroit shows up this week too. 656 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: If that happens, Vikings willing. Well, that's always the question 657 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: for so many teams other than the really best, the 658 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: really good teams that you tend to show up every week, 659 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: that's the unknown. And we did say, as much as 660 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: we celebrated the victory over the Lions, the turnabout from 661 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: the week before the fact that your season, in my opinion, 662 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: was going to be over effectively over if you lose 663 00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: to the Lions, and so you get away to win 664 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: and to open the door to the possibility of getting 665 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: back in this thing. But it only matters if you 666 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: do something with the opportunity, and to that extent, that 667 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: means you have to start putting together back to back 668 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: to back performances, right Otherwise you're gonna play five hundred 669 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: ball this entire season, right, and that's just not going 670 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: to do any good. So the Vikings are kind of 671 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: in the same boat right now as the Gophers were 672 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: after they beat Nebraska thoroughly. What are you going to 673 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: do with it? Well, what you should do with it 674 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: is go to Iowa and at least play a competitive game. 675 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: They didn't come close to playing a competitive game, and 676 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: we're happy for what they did last week or you know, 677 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: a week ago, that to me is not enough to 678 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: redeem the non competitive no show against Iowa to go 679 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: with the no show against Ohio State. 680 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 2: So Vikings in the same position. 681 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: And if they lose today, they squander at least a 682 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: lot of what they seem to establish yesterday, or then 683 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: they just come off, as I said, this cute little 684 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: club that might surprise you to the good one week, 685 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: and they might turn around and lose the next two 686 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: and then win one or whatever. And I think we 687 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: after the Bears, We've got that meaty two game road 688 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: trip to Green Bay and Seattle. Now, I don't view 689 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: the Packers as unbeatable at this point, but it's going 690 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: to be that also, I would think would be has 691 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: to be considered a challenging game there because I think 692 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: the Packers tend to play down to their competition and 693 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: are less likely to do that against an Eagles team 694 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: or against the Vikings. And then we you know, Seattle 695 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: is Seattle. We have a heart, we have one in Seattle. 696 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: But Seattle is I think a surprisingly sneaky team out 697 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: of the NFC that a lot of us were not paying. 698 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: You know, all that much attention to Blake Moore is 699 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: leaving out that the final two pedalies were the goal. 700 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 1: Our goalie scored the final shot to seal the victory. 701 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 1: That makes it particularly special. 702 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that is true that that has happened before 703 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 3: in shootouts, but yeah, that is it was special and 704 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 3: Saint Clair made his and the other guy Sky is 705 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 3: over the crossboard. 706 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: The Indiana coach reminds me of Brian Kelly has a 707 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: bit of jackass to him with dealing with the media 708 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: if it when it goes bad on the field. 709 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 2: It will be interesting for him. It's interesting. 710 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't think the interviews I've seen he's that jack assy. 711 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 2: With the uh. 712 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm I'm never going to impugne somebody's integery or motives 713 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: by comparing him to Brian Kelly. 714 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 2: I mean, Brian. 715 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: Kelly is about as jack assy as you can get, 716 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,959 Speaker 1: and I think Signetty seems to be having more fun 717 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: with it he does. I mean after the game, he 718 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: basically said, we were lucky to win the damn game. 719 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: The game is pretty much over, but we found you know, 720 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: obviously you find a way to get it done. 721 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 2: But I know I I don't. I would never. 722 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: Saddle that comparison on pretty much any coach, but Signetti included. 723 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean, again, when when Signetti is that it's most honest, 724 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: He'll say, last year, guess what when we got to 725 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: the most important games, we didn't play well. I mean, 726 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: we did not compete, we did not handle you know, 727 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: that level of rarefied air. He's talking about the Ohio 728 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: of State game and then the postseason game against Notre Dame. 729 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: So no, Brian Kelly's not capable. I don't think of 730 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: admitting all that much. So it looks to me like 731 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: and I can't blame Vikings fans for approaching this game 732 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: with some measure of trepidation because this year there has 733 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: been really no consistency to to speak of. The important 734 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: step I thought they took last week is they find 735 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: beat a good team, and they beat a team, and 736 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: maybe that team was, you know, coming off the buy, 737 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: not quite ready. Maybe they I don't think the Lions 738 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: played their best football, but they beat them. They went 739 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: there and they beat them, and up till now, they 740 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: hadn't really beaten any good quarterbacks, quite frankly, and that 741 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: was what we said about this defense. Well, if you 742 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: want me to believe this is really a good defense 743 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 1: this year, then it can't get riddled by quarterbacks who 744 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: don't seem to be all that flustered by the number 745 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: of looks that bleep bflow offers. And that's the advantage 746 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: and why that game I think was important. But we'll 747 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: see if they can build on it today. A pregame 748 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: show is indeed coming up. All right, that's enough Loon's 749 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: talk until hell Freeze is over. So you're right right 750 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: out to you as you said it. Gophers by twelve 751 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: over the Ducks this Friday Night, pj's greatest victory, worthy 752 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: of a ten year extension and seventy five million dollars buyout. 753 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 1: You never know, so I'm gonna say thanks for watching, 754 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: thank you for listening. We'll be back with a bumper 755 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: to bumper vikings, talking points, and more, beginning at three 756 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: o'clock on Monday,
