I always love that one. I don't know, 91 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I you know what you know, I you know what 92 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: I would just you know what I was into. I'll 93 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: never forget this. It was my first grade at Adams 94 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: at at Elo Jagab Elementary and you would go to 95 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: the the the the the gymnasium slash theater. They had 96 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: a big stage. It was they had the same thing 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: at the stage and the gym. You've seen that in 98 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the older schools. Loved the stage and the gymnasium in 99 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: the same same room. And when you would go there, 100 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: they would call out your name and tell you what 101 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: teacher would be your teacher. And I don't remember the 102 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: woman's name, but she was a friend of our families. 103 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: My mom was friends with this woman. And my mom 104 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: went up after my name was announced and talk to 105 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: school officials and they put me in another class because 106 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: my mom thought, well, that would be unfair. I don't 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: want because my boy is is if you know his 108 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: teacher's going to be a family friend, that she might 109 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: show preferential treatment or give him grades he doesn't deserve. 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: In gosh, I wish I would have been in her 111 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: class because I could have used some better grades. I 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: think that was really the beginning of the middle of 113 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: the end for me when it came to my education. 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: A lack of it has not hurt me, and I 115 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: can still read the writing on the wall, trust me. 116 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: But same thing with the Power Trip Morning Show against PA. 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: I would just all back there. They're both family to me, right, 118 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: extended family, but family, so I can't root for one 119 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: over the other. I'll just say this, ask not what 120 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: the common man can do for you, but what can 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: you do for the common man? But yeah, how about that? 122 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: I kind of do it like when you have like 123 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: a presidential election where you don't like either candidate. 124 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: I just kind of protest by not voting. That's how 125 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: I would approach those two. She just wouldn't vote at all. Yeah, yeah, 126 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: maybe that would be the best way to go about it. 127 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: But and then, isn't that funny isn't that funny?

He doesn't put the Wild 170 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: in the top five, and he explains why he has them. 171 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: Does he go down to six? Let me see, now, 172 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: he just has his top five and bottom five, so 173 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't really go a team by a team. But 174 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: here's what he so he has in this order tend 175 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: to be. He has his top five as number five, 176 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: the Devils, the Canes at four, the Stars at three, 177 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 1: the Lightning to the Lanch at number one is the 178 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: easy number one yea. And here's what he writes about 179 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: the while he says, it's tempting to find a way 180 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: to sneak the league's hottest team into the top five, 181 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: especially after they beat the Lantch. That game was a shootout, 182 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: so call it a tie if you'd prefer. But even 183 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: hanging with the unstoppable ass right now is impressed. I'm 184 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: getting two points in the process is a statement. Yeah, 185 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: they played with them. Unfortunately, so is a loss to 186 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: the Sabers, which is what we got on Saturday in 187 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: the classic letdown. That was an emotional letdown. That one 188 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: was a shootout too is the coin flip, giveth and 189 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: taketh away. But if I was looking for cover for 190 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: leaving the Wild out of this week's top five, the 191 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: Sabers proved it, he says the other rankings. He's talking 192 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: about his pals, you know, kind of taking a little 193 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: general cheap shot. I have already seen enough moving the 194 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: while under their five spot after the Friday's showdown. We 195 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: move a bit slower on this side of the weekend 196 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: since we're more focused on the long term. But the 197 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: Wild have been an undeniably impressive lately, digging out from 198 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: a three six and three start with seven straight wins 199 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: and just a single regulation loss in October, and that 200 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: stretch includes wins over contenders like the Knights, the Canes, 201 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: the Jets, and now the Abs, so it's hardly been 202 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: empty calories. It hasn't been enough to cause a major 203 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: shift in the projections quite yet, with Dom's model still 204 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: having the Wild around the middle of the pack. The 205 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: betting nods, which I don't rely on but can serve 206 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: as a useful sanity check, haven't caught up yet. In fact, 207 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: most of them still have the Wild down, with the 208 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: teams like the have Senators and Ducks. If you think 209 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: the Wild are obviously one of the five best bets 210 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: to win the Cup right now, and you're the wagering type, 211 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: let's just say there's some value to this hat value bet, 212 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: that it's a value bet. Can you play the value 213 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: bet thing as a handy can? I just like I 214 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: just love the cash register. I think you lift at 215 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: the sound of Cup value bet from the gold and 216 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: nut value bet. So there you go. So there we go. 217 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: Wild's getting some respect across the league, and while they 218 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: should well earned respect. Well Bright come back a little more. 219 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: We'll dive back into the vikings a little bit and 220 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: talk about a couple of other items as well.

I'm open for endorsements. 231 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: That's where I was. I was down talking the sales staff. 232 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Vikings lose yesterday twenty six Meat Sauce. 233 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: It's their first time being the victims of a shutout 234 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: since a Packer game. How long ago was that now? 235 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: Two and seven? That's still not the most embarrassing shutouts. 236 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: You remember forty one Meat Sauce. That was an NFC 237 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: championship game. That's where That's where John Madden, the legendary 238 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: who by the way, and I loved John as much 239 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: as the next person. You would have thought he had 240 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: just passed away the way every network did this o 241 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: to John Madden. That's okay, you know, I have nothing 242 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: against John. He's one of us. He's from Is he 243 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: from Austin or what's right next to Austin? One of 244 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: the two I can't remember Albert it was? Is he 245 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: from he was from Austin or Albert Lee from one 246 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: of them? Austin or Boston? Yeah, maybe it was Boss, 247 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: could have been e Dian or China. But he had 248 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: the famous where he was comparing the Vikings to an 249 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: inatimate object, and that was from that game. Tennebe might 250 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: be a have that sound by somebody? Have we ever 251 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: played this for people before? I don't think we've ever 252 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: played this. Tennabe stumbled across this. This was during the 253 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: Vikings most embarrassing shutout forty one meat sauce at the 254 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: hands of the New York Football Giants in the two 255 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: thousand NFC Championship game. There's something like, when you practice, 256 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: you'll set up chairs you when you run through chairs 257 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: to share zones. The Vikings defense looks like this chairs. 258 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: The only difference here was the Vikings defense really wasn't chairs. 259 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Yesterday they played pretty well. It was the offense that was. 260 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: What are the offensive equivalent of chairs? I don't know 261 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: you statues, I don't know what that comparison would be, 262 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: but I do know it was tackling dummies. Yeah, instead 263 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: of tackling dummies when you're practice and tackling, the Vikings 264 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: offense was tackling dummies and blocking sleds. Is really what 265 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: they were. Alec Lewis writes for The Athletic he does 266 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: he's very good at his work, and he wrote a 267 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: piece and I just cherry picked a couple of the paragraphs, 268 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: including this one that says hope for the twenty twenty 269 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: five season faded long ago, both externally and internally. Now 270 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: the more relevant conversations about the future. Given the way 271 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: this season has played out, what is there to cling 272 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: to moving forward? This question may seem harsh, but it 273 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: feels relevant. The team has an aging roster, no certainty 274 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: had quarterback, and a bevy of impactful decisions to be 275 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: made by a leadership group who's planned for the season 276 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: is flopped. Well, I'll tell you what. That's quite the indictment, 277 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: but I agree with everything Alec Lewis says. There we 278 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: don't know if. And again Mark Craig wrote a piece 279 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: where he was adamantly telling people and capitalized letters it's 280 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: six games talking about McCarthy be patient, and then the 281 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 1: comparisons to other quarterbacks who are very bad in their 282 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: first six games. In legendary quarterbacks, I think one of 283 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: them was Peyton Manning and maybe another and as we 284 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: brought up them tend to be the thing. The difference 285 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: between Peyton Manning being drafted in the first round and 286 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. I think Manning was considered pretty much can't miss, 287 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: and he went to a team that I think had 288 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: won two games before McCarthy, No one was convinced he 289 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: was the fifth quarterback taken. And he went to a 290 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: team that had gone thirteen and four or thirteen Yeah, 291 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: thirteen and four in the regular season and no. Fourteen 292 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: to three in the regular season, ended up going fourteen 293 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: and four with the loss. And then there is a 294 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: difference there. I mean, you know, again, when you're coming 295 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: to a team that's loaded or you think they are, 296 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the window should be wide open rather than 297 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks that went to teams with one win or 298 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: two When Stafford was drafted. Was Stafford drafted after the 299 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: Lions eight season when they went Ohn sixteen? 300 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 2: I mean he was number one overall, So that had 301 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: it been well, THEYD lots of options for years that 302 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: had been But. 303 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: Can you look and see if that was I when 304 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: you go to a team that was Owen sixteen. He 305 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: was drafted in two thousand and nine, Yeah, the Lions, 306 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, the Lions went, oh in sixteen, 307 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: How would you expect well, yeah, but what I'm saying is, 308 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: how would you expect a quarterback to play I don't 309 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: know in sixteen team? Much like McCarthy was going to 310 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: a team that was fourteen and three oh and sixteen. 311 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: There's a large difference there. I don't know when Manning 312 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: was drafted it was by Colts. No, yeah, then he 313 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: went to Denver, Right, he was drafted by the Colts. 314 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: What was their record this season he was drafted, you know, 315 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: the season before. I don't know, but my guess it 316 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: was it was an awful record. And so it's to 317 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: me what you would expect guys to struggle there more 318 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: than you would for a guy, you know, put put 319 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford or or or Peyton Manning on a fourteen 320 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: and fourteen one that went fourteen and three in the 321 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: regular season. How much better do you think they would 322 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: have performed? Alick goes on to right, the Vikings were 323 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: still in the fight, trailing just three zip with three 324 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: forty one remaining in the first half. Rather than kick 325 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: the field goal, O'Connell opted to go for it. Why 326 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: not run instead of throw? O'Connell said this during his 327 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: news conference today, and he said it several times. We'd 328 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: struggled to run it up until that point at the 329 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: point of attack, so we wanted to see if we 330 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: could get Max out on the perimeter with a run 331 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: pass option. Alick goes on the right. Immediately, Seahawks ed 332 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: rusher DeMarcus Lawrence blitz Brozmer, the twenty four year old 333 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: QB tried to escape Lawrence's grasp, but at the last second, 334 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: he heaved the ball underhanded directly to the linebacker Ernie Jones, 335 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: the fourth. Not Ernie Jones the first, second, or third, 336 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: but the fourth, who had a clear path to the 337 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: end zone eighty five yards away. And O'Connell said it 338 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: during his news conference today Timmaby, where he said he 339 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: takes all the blame. He thinks he called the wrong 340 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: play at the wrong time. And I mean, I I 341 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: understand the arguments to that. They you know, because you've 342 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: run the ball so poorly, the team's probably not expecting 343 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: you to run the ball. They're probably in because you 344 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: like to pass. That's your reputation. That's what you're probably 345 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: going to do. But Timmby, I don't know. I there's 346 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: only a couple of there's two different things you can 347 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: do other than kick field goal. But if you're gonna 348 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: go for it, you either run or you pass. Okay, 349 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: So those are the two things, and then it's the 350 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: kind of run you decide to do. You could do 351 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: a pitch out, which they don't do much anymore. You 352 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: could do a misdirection, you could do a play action 353 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: fake and haven't dropped straight back to pass roll left right. 354 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: I still don't. I mean, I know he's young and 355 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: it's but you got nothing. I don't. I don't know 356 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: why he's falling on a sword so much for that 357 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: or do you think it was just just just the 358 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: worst call possibly coach speak. Yeah, I think so too, 359 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: because I just don't think it's that bad of a call. 360 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: In regardless, even if you think the call is horrible, 361 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: you can't make that thrill. Yeah, well, that's that's exactly right. 362 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: The call is not worthy of seven points going the 363 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: other way that spot. I'm having a tie ball game 364 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: at that point. 365 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: That's the exclamation point to the to the conversation. We'll 366 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: break one more segment to go. I'll be here at 367 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: the beginning of the segment this time, I promise. I 368 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: think uh. It's the Common Man program with tenn to 369 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: be here on the fan. 370 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: Okay, if any and the Bikings are teaming up or 371 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 2: twice for tots, join us live at Shields and Eden 372 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: Prairie tomorrow Tuesday, December second, from five to thirty am 373 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: to six thirty pm for our annual broadcast presented by Unreal, 374 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: Bring a toy, spread some joy, and if you're one 375 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: of the first fifty donors each show, they'll score a 376 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: sweet Kfan Unreal Winter beanie. That's a KFA dot com 377 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 2: slash d slash toys for details. 378 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: We'll be there neon to three, of course, and it's 379 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 1: are showing its entirety of the legendary Mark Rosen will 380 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: join us just before two o'clock. The common Man Program, 381 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: It's listenership has a reputation for giving in until they 382 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: just give and give and give till they're about to 383 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: give out. So hopefully a lot of you will stop 384 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: by between noon and three and drop off toys for 385 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 1: Tots or purchase something at Shields or cash donation as well. 386 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: Love to see as one of the first fifty get 387 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: that beanie too. Cash in cash out. Will be one 388 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: of our guests tenn to be and I think I 389 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: heard Isaiah Rodgers might join us as well. 390 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: Might but it's a very fluid situation. These things can change. 391 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: It is, it's always fluid. I don't think it's going 392 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: to be Adam Thielen. That news announced earlier today that 393 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: he requested his a leave of absence, a permanent leave 394 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: of absence. He wants to catch on with another team, 395 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: and the Vikings granted him that request, so he is 396 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: he is gone. What was I going to do next? 397 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: I actually had some uh oh what was it? Yeah? 398 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: Thank you? I need that had more to do with 399 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: the Vikings game. Oh no, I know it was. Someone 400 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: sent me an email. I haven't figured out the text 401 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: messaging yet. Well, I just I'm not going to put 402 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: my email on my phone. I tried to do that before. 403 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: I tried to have people here at the radio station 404 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: help me do it. Nobody could figure it out. So 405 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: I can't even do it. And then I don't want to. 406 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: I just I don't want to jump through hoops. But 407 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to eventually do it, and I don't like 408 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: to rush into things. So I'm going to make it 409 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: as one of my New Year's resolutions. So I got 410 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: a month to figure it out. My New Year's resolutions 411 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six. Are you a New Year's resolution 412 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: guy Tennaby, Not really, I am. I like to do 413 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: a benefactor. I made them and then I periodically check 414 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: on them. As a matter of fact, I usually do 415 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: it quarterly and so and then I do it with 416 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: one month ago. And I just looked at my New 417 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: Year's resolutions, and not only have I broken all of those, 418 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: but I've broken seven of the Ten commandments as well. Hey, 419 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: but I am checking email, and this one says, I 420 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: don't get many of them now because most people I've 421 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: probably realized we've just basically abandoned the email says Lions 422 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: halftime show. What did you think of the halftime show 423 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: on Thanksgimming It's pretty cool, good day. A couple of things. 424 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: I never watched halftime shows, and two I would have 425 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: skipped this because I was throwing up at halftime. Honestly, 426 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: it's like to lose to Green Bay not once, but twice. 427 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: And I think I started the show with this. I 428 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: might have to apologize to Ben Johnson and everybody else's 429 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: says coordinators make a difference, because I thought, yeah, you know, 430 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: sure they make some difference, but you still got well, 431 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: the offensive line is their biggest problem now, but you 432 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: still had a pretty good offensive line, you know. I mean. 433 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: Then Rag now announced he was coming out of retirement, 434 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: that he passed. He failed the physical. Funny he failed 435 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: the physical after the Thanksgiving debacle, I think is what happens. 436 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: But he he had he had second thoughts. He went, 437 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: I don't think I want to come back and play 438 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: for that cloth. And can you blame him because they're 439 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: going nowhere except home at the end of the season. 440 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: But uh, right after the playoffs started today, the Bears 441 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: number one seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and 442 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: the first round by tray would be out. It's it's 443 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: amazing to me how can change. 444 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: And the number one seed in the NFC lost to 445 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: the Vikings earlier. 446 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: In the year, and the team that's outside looking and 447 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: also lost Lions, lost to him too. And again, look, 448 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: I've been I didn't like Danny Campbell when they first 449 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: hired him. When I heard him do the kneecaps thing, 450 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: I thought, all he needs is a pencil behind his ear. 451 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: Really is just further what we've hired. I just thought 452 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: he's one of those dope coach. But he's done a 453 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: nice job. He's made that franchise relevant again. He got 454 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: them to only their second NFC championship game two years ago. 455 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: They'd been in one back in ninety one, they got 456 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: to an NFC championship game game they probably should have won. 457 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: They run twenty four to seven and a half. That 458 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: was their best and maybe only opportunity in my lifetime 459 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: to get to a big game. Then they were really 460 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: good last year. Heck, they went fifteen to two at 461 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: home field advantage about the playoffs, and then got beat 462 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: by the Commanders at home in a really ugly football 463 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: game for the kiddies. But Dan Gamble Campbell to go 464 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: forward on fourth down, right, And I really people think 465 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: I just say this, I don't mind that. I've always 466 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: liked teams that go on for fourth. I've said this 467 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: to you before ten I mean, I think you agreed 468 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: with me. Let's say my team is playing my team 469 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: is teamm and I'm playing Team B, and Team b's 470 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: got a fourth and one from midfield, they decided to 471 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: go for it. I don't want them to go I 472 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: want them to punt because they're probably gonna make it. 473 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: I forget saber metrics and analytics. I've always felt if 474 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: you've got one yard to go, go for unless you're 475 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: at your own ten or twenty of your. 476 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: Thirdster quarterback is JJ maccarthurr Mex Bros. Other than that, 477 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: you go for it. 478 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: You go for it, and so I don't went and hits. 479 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: They've been wildly successful, but this year they have not. 480 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: And part of it is if the head guard of 481 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: that's exactly right, if the head coach of the Vikings 482 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: is going to take the blame for a bad call 483 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: on the Brozemer interception, which I don't really think there 484 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: was many other calls. What other call could you make 485 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't see disaster rather than kneel down or 486 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: kick a field goal or run the ball. But on 487 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: one of them, if not too I think on Green 488 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: Bay was successful on three fourth thousands. They went out 489 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of teams are just. 490 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: They're making big plays off them too. They weren't just 491 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: trying to get the first down, and. 492 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: I think they're I think what teams are doing is 493 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: they're they they're enjoying giving it back to Danny Camp 494 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: because he was getting, you know, all sorts of praise 495 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: and hero worship by by the national NFL media for 496 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: what a gutsy guy he is. And all they do 497 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: is get. 498 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: As gave a psychological edge to his team and now 499 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: teams are taking the psychological edge away from them exactly. 500 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 1: So then he's got a fourth and like forty, hands 501 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: off to Jamiir Gibbs and runs them into the middle 502 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: of the line. It's like, what is now? I love Gibbs. 503 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: I love me some Gibbs. I think he might be 504 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't think i'd get many people to agree with me, 505 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: but I think he's the best back in pro football. 506 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: And I think he's in the conversation. He's in the conversation. 507 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: He's certainly a top five because he's explosive. He can 508 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: even get tough yards you can catch out of the back. 509 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: You know, blah blah blah. Really good player the other day. 510 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: Had two games ago he set the franchise record for 511 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage, like a two sixty four. But with 512 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: your offensive line beat up, and you know what that is. 513 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: That's that Dan Campbell mentality that he's brought to Detroit 514 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: that served them well. Will win physically, will out physical 515 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: the other team. So our offensive line is going to 516 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: push them up, not on a fourth and you know, 517 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: come on, man, do something different. So I think he 518 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: was large now had they made it on fourth and 519 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: forming on to win the game. Would I be Would 520 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: I be singing a different song and maybe a different 521 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: a different key, but I'd still be singing the same 522 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: song because I after a while just get you can't 523 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: do this man. He's just like and and you know 524 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: they're just not as good. Their offensive line isn't very good. 525 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: They lost him on ross Ay and Brown, but every 526 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: place that they just got outplayed out Coach Green, I 527 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: hate admitting that's a really good team and their quarterback 528 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: is coming of age, and uh, they're gonna be tough 529 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: to beat. And the Bears now, I don't know if 530 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: they're doing with smoking mirrors, because you know, they weren't 531 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: very good last year. I mean, they got their coach 532 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: fired last year, fired and people were wondering a lot 533 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: about Williams that they were about McCarthy. Maybe not that bad, 534 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: but just wondering was this kid was overrated? He just 535 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: hangs onto the ball, runs around like a chicken with 536 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: his head cut off, and you know it's just it's 537 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: all it's bad. And now they're the best record in 538 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: the NFC. But the the the Lions are I think 539 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: their window is is shut. I mean again, you know, 540 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: because it's like after they signed Hutchinson to the big deal. 541 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: They asked Campbell in a news corps and everybody laughed 542 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: and he left that or so funny. He goes, what 543 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: are you gonna He goes, well, we're just gonna keep 544 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: spending money till we don't have any left. Well, they 545 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: don't have any left, and they they I don't know 546 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. I have no idea. I think 547 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: they had their little window there so her Green Bay 548 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: and Chicago boasts team to continue to be on the upswing. 549 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,479 Speaker 1: And we know how young the Packers are age wise, 550 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: then somebody else had it. I know I saved it. 551 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: I think it go ahead. Let's just say, well, you 552 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: move on. 553 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: Because you originally asked about the the halftime show, Oh yeah, 554 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: it was Jack White. And then the surprise was that 555 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: Eminem came on for a song in the middle of it. 556 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 2: That terrific. I mean, I love Eminem and it's a 557 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: good song. Yeah. But my point I was going to 558 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: bring up, you. 559 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: Like playing her Peanut eminems because I like playing Peanut Yeah, 560 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: even I like Peenis, but I'd rather play em. 561 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: But my point was going to be, and you can 562 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: bring this up the next time you see a little 563 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: be even though I think she's out the next two Fridays, 564 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: but when she does return. You've always had the idea 565 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 2: of big game halftime show, let's come out with a 566 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: surprise performer right that nobody knows is coming, and the 567 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: anticipation and in the excitement that would lead up. And 568 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: I think that's a brilliant idea. And her argument always 569 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: against it was a no, it'd be impossible to keep 570 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 2: it secret and someone would find out. 571 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,239 Speaker 1: Well, guess what. 572 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: They kept Eminem's performances secret and nobody knew Eminem was 573 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 2: coming out. 574 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: There, and he is Thanksgiving and he's as worldly famous 575 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: as Actually, that can be done. It can be done. 576 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: Here's what Mark Craig writes today in his five extra points. 577 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: His number one extra point is sorry, but this is 578 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: a general manager issue. He writes. Sunday's twenty six meat 579 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: sauce loss at Seattle the Viking's most humiliating defeat since 580 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: last being shut out thirty four oh by Greenby eighteen 581 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: years ago. And I would say it's still not the 582 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: most embarrassing shutout. The one was in the NFC Championship game. 583 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: But isn't just a quarterback issue. It's an overall general 584 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: manager problem. Sustained success isn't possible when your GM gets 585 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: lapped by his peers annually in the draft. Throwing three 586 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: hundred million at other teams. Aging free agents can't replace 587 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: building core starters in quality depth among players entering their 588 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: prime at three to five years or generally ages twenty 589 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: three to twenty six. The Vikings have four players on 590 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: their roster who were drafted three to five years ago, 591 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: one from the last year under Rick Spielman in twenty 592 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: twenty one, and three from the first two years under 593 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: Quazy twenty two and twenty twenty three. Two are regular 594 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: starters derisaw and Addison Derrison. Derisa didn't play someday. As 595 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: for the rest of the NFC North, the Packers have 596 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: eighteen players and twelve starters who they drafted from twenty 597 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty twenty three, while the Lions have 598 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 1: thirteen players and eleven starters, and the Bears have six 599 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: players and five players. And then Craig goes on to right, 600 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: feel free to say wow, because that's really what it is. 601 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: That that is a huge difference, yep. I mean, that's and 602 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: that's why they were in the pickle they're in now. 603 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: You know, forget what they do with the rest of 604 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: this season. I mean, obviously when you really need to 605 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: see that even a microcosm of hope for the next 606 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: year or two. Is you got to hoe McCarthy all 607 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Yes, something, something goes off in the 608 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: next you know, because it sounds like he'll play this week. 609 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: He passed the concussion protocol, but he has to practice 610 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: one full practice. Looks like he will Wednesday. He'll be 611 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: back in the line of when we play who do 612 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: we play this week? Washington? Washington here and Washington gave 613 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: Denver everything they wanted last night, which I didn't see 614 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: they had for a chance to win the game. Yep. 615 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: But you have to hope he light goes off and 616 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: something that all starts to come together. 617 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 2: You need him to have a yes. Per valse said 618 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 2: type yes. Ord Ball said, did not have a good 619 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 2: year last year in Iowa, right, looked awful. People were 620 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 2: downing him, and then he's come up like rookie the 621 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 2: year all of a sudden. 622 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 1: I think you need to see that. I also still 623 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: don't have the answer to the question that I've asked 624 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: on a number of vacations because I know everybody wants 625 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: to pile on cousy. Everybody loves O'Connell, I think because 626 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 1: Kevin's you know, he's got a nice demeanor. He answers 627 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: all the questions. Sometimes they rambling questions that ever, you 628 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: don't really find any answer in it. What do they 629 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: call that word salad? Is that what the kids call it? 630 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: But you know, he seems like a bright offensive mind 631 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: and all that. And then you know the player seemed 632 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: we don't know, but we always hear they love him 633 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: and like playing form and everything like that. But and 634 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: so everybody wants to pile on crazy. What I still 635 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: don't know is how much input does the head coach 636 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: and his rest of his staff, his offensive coordinator Wes Phillips, 637 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: and his defensive coordinator Brian Floores having helping with the draft. 638 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: I just don't see one of this. This is one 639 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: of Kosi's favorite phrases. He says it almost so. He 640 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: didn't say today, but I was looking for He said 641 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: it yesterday. In any way, shape or form. He'd likes 642 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: saying that our offense just cannot playlet this in any way, 643 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: shape or form, In any way shape or form. I 644 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: just don't see a general manager at the draft stunning 645 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: By going with the twenty third pick in the National 646 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: Football League Draft, the Vikings have selected Jordan Addison, wide 647 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: receiver from where did he plays? Usc? And then all 648 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: of a sudden, oh, Connor goes wow, I didn't know 649 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: we were going after that guy. Hey, who is this guy? Now? Well, 650 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 1: in fact, I believe any of that. 651 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 2: In fact, the video they showed after that specific draft pick, 652 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 2: it seemed like Kaos was trying to convince Quazy this 653 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: is the right guy. Yeah, like, hey, you're gonna you're 654 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 2: gonna like him, He's gonna be great for our offense. 655 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 2: I felt like there was a video of him basically 656 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 2: saying that paraphrasing. 657 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: So, so I know, you know, and I guess Quazy 658 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: because he is the general manager, I guess he could 659 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: pull rank and say, sorry, this is who we're taking. 660 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: Maybe that's happened. Well that's true too in maybe it 661 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: happened else, Yes, and maybe that's what's happened here. But 662 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: I think I to me, I think they head. I 663 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: think it's it's a it's a consortium. It's it's several people. 664 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: There's more than one person making the call on this. 665 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: One guy has the ultimate he make he turns in 666 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: the pick. We know that, but I still think anybody selected. 667 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: I don't think they. I don't think they traded up 668 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: to get McCarthy and O'Connell was against it. I don't 669 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: believe that in any way. 670 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 2: Now, Is it possible, though, I could turn this the 671 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 2: other way? Okay, Remember in the off season when there 672 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: was Aaron Rodgers rumors, the conversations Rogers was having with 673 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 2: the Vikings was with Koc. They never talked about the 674 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 2: conversations of him talking to Quazy talking to the Wolves. 675 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 2: The conversations were Rogers with Koc. Yep, Is it possible 676 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 2: KOC wanted Aaron Rodgers here and others with the Vikings, 677 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 2: including Quazy, said, no, we drafted JJ McCarthy. 678 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: We got to see this. 679 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 2: Three that could be, that could very well be, and 680 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 2: now he's playing with seven to two off suit. 681 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: And did anybody want did anybody in that organization? I've 682 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm almost certain I've read there were there were people 683 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: in the building and probably obviously people that didn't have 684 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: the final say that wanted to stick with Sam Darnell. Well, 685 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure there were yeah, because I offered him a contract. Yeah, 686 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: I would have. I would have I would have stayed 687 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: with Darnell. I really would have been and not because 688 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: I knew McCarthy was going to have maybe the worst 689 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: six games ever in the history of pro football of 690 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: a first year quarterback. But I and I hate looking 691 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: to the East, but but I'm going, but I'm going 692 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: to Green Bay. It's It's well documented. Rogers waited three 693 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: years on the bench before he took over, for four 694 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: three years just sitting there, learning, absorbing, probably not happy 695 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: about it. You know how bitter he was when he 696 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: got selected twenty fourth. He had some comment about he 697 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: was going to show all the other teams in the NFL 698 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: the mistake or the San Francisco the mistake they make. 699 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: That's where he wanted to play because he's from the area. 700 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: And then Jordan Love sat behind Aaron Rodgers for three 701 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: years and then the comeback. When you and I had 702 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: this discussion, a lot of a lot of listeners and 703 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: text messengers and other people and even national media said, well, yeah, 704 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: but you don't want to take a chance on annoying 705 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. You know you already missed his first season 706 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: because of the knee injury. You don't want to spread 707 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: hm ride for a second. You might make him mad. Sorry, kid, 708 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: it's a big business. Man. If you're mad, go play elsewhere. 709 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: We think we can win, and we think we can 710 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: win now. That's why we went out and improved the 711 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: two lines. We were fourteen and four last year, and 712 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: we're coming back with Donald Or we're getting Aaron Rodgers. 713 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: Do you see Danny Dimes is going to play with 714 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: a broken fibula? Did you see that story? He has 715 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: a broken fibula and he's going to try to play. 716 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: Did you see him dropping back in warmups? He's dragging? 717 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: What do you do? You can't First of all, you 718 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: can't put a guy like I think that's that's like 719 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: putting Whens out there can't even defend himself. They put 720 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: Danny Dimes that he's going to get himself killed. Man. 721 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 2: Well, the records Anthony Richardson, and for Danny Dimes, this 722 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: is like the moment of a lifetime for him, right. 723 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: I mean he was throwing in the He's only on 724 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 2: a one year contract I believe with Indianapolis, so he's 725 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 2: got a chance to get paid this offseason, become. 726 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: A starter somewhere. If he's even able to get to 727 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: the postseason as a quarterback, he get paid. Even if 728 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: he's able to put what if he's with his inability 729 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: to move and protect himself in the pocket, he might 730 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: get himself killed. Never play again. I just think it's 731 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: a mistake. I wouldn't play him. I would never play 732 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: a guy that can he can barely walk, much less 733 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: play football. 734 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 2: After seeing McCarthy and brothers over the last couple weeks, 735 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 2: I understood why they kept once in with the left shoulder. 736 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: Well, it makes a lot more sense now. Well there's that. 737 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of blame to be passed around here. 738 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: I think Tennabee, I'm just not ready to now. 739 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 2: I am curious, And obviously we'll have a lot more 740 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 2: time to have these conversations as the off season goes on. 741 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 2: But I am curious. How you go into another draft 742 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: letting Quazy draft. Yeah, that's your point. It's probably not 743 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 2: just Quazy. I'm sure koc Bflow. I've had a bunch 744 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 2: of input, but they can't continue to miss anymore in 745 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 2: the draft. No, And I know he just got paid 746 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 2: last offseason, But. 747 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 1: And then you look at him and say, okay, let's say, 748 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: what do you think we Let's say we don't win 749 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: another game or less we squeeze out one. Let's just 750 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: let's just say we win one. So we finish five, 751 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: five and twelve twelve. We're somewhere in the top ten 752 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: right probably. 753 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean we're almost at the top ten right now. 754 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: I think we're I think we're eleven right now, but 755 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 2: we're tied with tenth to ninth record wise. 756 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: So let's say we get the seventh pick overall, just 757 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: for arguments. Sure, well, that's going to turn around the 758 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: franchise right in one pick. I mean it might be 759 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: a game changing player. You might get it. It's a 760 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Well yeah, a franchise quarterback. But if it's 761 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: just Ed Rusher, which is great, that you gotta have them. 762 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't get them. Which is one player. 763 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 2: Oh, if you give you like a Micah Parsons type 764 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 2: guy that can change her around. 765 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: I guess. But I don't think what I'm saying, I 766 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: don't think it changes it around where next year, hey, 767 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: we're back. 768 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: But at this point I don't have confidence in Quzy 769 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 2: identifying the Well, that's it. Micah Parsons type player. 770 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: And then I don't think b Flow is coming back. 771 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 2: I think that's very possible as well. Yeah, it's gonna 772 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: be a lot of to changes. 773 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. It's a change right now, 774 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: change into the guard. We're out. I enjoyed it, Tenny, 775 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: thanks for having me.
