1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Bad common man, common man, No show the solid plan,

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: say are we can't secarit?

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Approach will fail to in. It's time for common.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Man, common man, common man, charge of houseworks like no one.

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Can Why you shooting where we play?

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: Don some nonsense?

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm dead to daddy man, It's time for common man.

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: That's a much of a workee.

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 4: Why should anybody aspire to be a common man? An

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: average man? Do you realize what it means to be average?

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: That means you're the best of the lousiest and the

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 4: lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: more for producing less and less while they have not,

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: nations encourage and inspire and indeed require hard work and

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 4: maximum effort. If we deify the common man while they

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: encourage and reward the uncommon ones, well, then result of

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: such a lopsided raceist that is too obvious to require elaboration,

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: I mean.

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 5: Totally able to regroup that it's poked away by Burke

Speaker 7: has not taught the minnicide and go the t first.

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: Are you gaming? Are you.

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 7: Yet?

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 8: Oh?

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: My god?

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: Who is that going?

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 7: Had yet?

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: It's us fifty three seconds in.

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 7: Overtime and the Holy Claster Sayers are bobbing Tyler McGregor

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 7: and Tony gets up.

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: It's the second chance.

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 5: It's taking effort.

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 7: Edit polls it.

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Do you believe the record?

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,000

Speaker 5: And that's ridiculous, shad lad disadvantage.

43
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say something confitions the three formation.

44
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 6: A dog with a note in his mouth should be

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 6: able to sell those ratings.

46
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: You don't know nothing true words and noyone speaks back spoked.

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 6: He's the clown from Brown, He's the fourth in the north.

48
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: Mean, this is the common man, Dan Cole.

49
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 6: Going to be After a while, things become extinct. The

50
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 6: Dodo Bird, Dunzo Dinosaurs, Dunzo Minnesota Vikings playoff chances this year, Dunzo.

51
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: Finally something's done.

52
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 6: So I think it's the last person on the planet

53
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 6: who has not been able to check their emails on

54
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 6: their phone. Dunzo hip cricket his back. I can check

55
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 6: my emails on my phone, well at least temporarily. I

56
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 6: don't know if it's going to last. There are several

57
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 6: steps I had to take to do it.

58
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I was walked wit walked through it by.

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: Chad Abbott, and he did it only for selfish reasons

60
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 6: because he just didn't want to enable me anymore.

61
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: He didn't want to take the temp.

62
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: All he had to do every day is just just

63
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 6: go ahead and trigger hip cricket. What do you think

64
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 6: I like better to be using hip cricket or saying

65
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 6: hip cat.

66
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: Probably. I don't even know what hip what it's.

67
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 6: It's it's a text messaging application or whatever that we

68
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 6: have here at the fan, and I don't know why

69
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 6: they came up with the name hip cricket, but that's

70
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 6: what it is, and I can now check them and

71
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 6: somebody even well yeah, I mean someone even before the

72
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 6: show even started, or right when it started, just wanted

73
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: to see if it was working, said testing one, two three.

74
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 6: I think they were checking to see if I had

75
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: figured it out yet. It's only taken about a week,

76
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 6: but we got it back and I'm pretty happy about that.

77
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 6: So yesterday BEFO, before we were rudely interrupted by the

78
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: head coach of the soon to be Big Game World

79
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 6: champion of Minnesota Vikings. I was discussing my commute at

80
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 6: home wheel Atopic landed on it.

81
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we.

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: Were talking about GPS system. Here's because I was doing

83
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 6: the whole thing. The greatest invention ever wheel fire than

84
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 6: handheld computer which doubles as communication device. Then within that device,

85
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 6: GPS is one of the more remarkable advances. And it's

86
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 6: probably not that big of a deal, you know, I mean,

87
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: you know, it's they've always had that kind of technology,

88
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 6: like for the military, but for the average human being,

89
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 6: and not to have to have a map or go

90
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 6: to the gas station and ask the stupidest guy in

91
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 6: town where you are. You just type in an address

92
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 6: in a map, appears on your phone or on your

93
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 6: dashboard if you have it wired through there, and then

94
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 6: somebody will talk to you. And then you can even

95
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 6: change if it's a male voice a female voice, you

96
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 6: can even change the dialect. For a long time, Deuce

97
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 6: had it was English. Take a left on radio drive

98
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 6: and you could, so you can do however you want.

99
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 6: But I've just got some standard robotic.

100
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: Woman with a you know, is it a United States accent.

101
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Is that what we have? Sure American American accent, you

102
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: will pappas.

103
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 6: So what as I'm leaving here the other day to

104
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 6: go home on that on snowstorm day, first thing it

105
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 6: says is it wants me to take Highway one hundred.

106
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 6: Then all of a sudden it says one hundred South

107
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 6: is closed. Well, one hundred South wasn't closed. As I

108
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 6: decided to go three ninety four to ninety four, I

109
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 6: can see people are on one hundred now it's moving slow.

110
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 6: Why did it? Then later it told me ninety four

111
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 6: was closed. Well, I'm already on ninety four and it's fine.

112
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 6: Now maybe it meant it feels like it's closed because

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 6: it's like a parking.

114
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Lot, but it wasn't closed.

115
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 6: But here's here's what happened. Here's what GPS doesn't know.

116
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 6: So I decide I'm going to take my own shortcut. Right,

117
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 6: So as I'm going down do you know why they

118
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 6: call it Spaghetti Junction Tenneby in Saint Paul?

119
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: Sure? Do you know why? Say? No? No, I don't.

120
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 6: Well it's because that's where a lot of Italian people live.

121
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: It's like little Italy. It's like a little Italy of

122
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 6: Saint Paul. That's what I guess. So going through Little

123
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 6: Italy and Saint Paul, I don't want to go through there.

124
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 6: So I go downtown, get on Kellogg Boom. No, I

125
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: didn't do Kellogg this time. Usually I do Kellogg and

126
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 6: the Eagle. This time I did tenth to Jackson. Okay,

127
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 6: get on Shepherd Road and once I get on ten

128
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 6: sixty one, it says I usually go down to Bailey

129
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 6: Bailey Road. It says take a left on Lower Afton Avenue,

130
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 6: left on Lower Okay, maybe they know something I don't.

131
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 6: But then once I get to Lower Afton and take

132
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 6: a left, it says, take your first right on Point

133
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 6: Douglas Drive East. And I'm like, well, why is it

134
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 6: taking me down Point Douglas Drive East? This doesn't make

135
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 6: any sense, but I go, I'll play along.

136
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: So I go along and then it says go left on.

137
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: I think it's Highland Avenue or something like that.

138
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 6: I go, are you familiar with Lombard Street in San Francisco, Tenneby?

139
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 2: Sure?

140
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: It's straight up hill Highland Drive or whatever it's called.

141
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 6: Is the Twin Cities equivalent of Lombard Drive? I'm like, well,

142
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 6: I can't. It's it's it's snow packed, it's still there's

143
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 6: And sure enough I get to it and there's five

144
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 6: cars waiting to go up the hill and there's one

145
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 6: person sliding back down.

146
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: Backwards down the hill.

147
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 6: Okay, so that person gets to the bottom, doesn't hit anybody,

148
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: and they right away learn their lesson. They do a

149
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 6: uie and they go back the other way where I

150
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 6: just came from, on Douglas Drive, Point Douglas Drive. So

151
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 6: then the other cars start going up the hill and

152
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 6: I'm watching. Now I pull up to back. I'm waiting

153
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 6: at the bottom of the hill. I'm not going to

154
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 6: get in that lunch. I'm watching, and I see two

155
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 6: people get to the top. The third person obviously didn't

156
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: go to the Skip barber racing school, because they get

157
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 6: halfway up the hill and they start sliding backwards and

158
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 6: there's a car right behind them, and the car behind

159
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 6: them is panicing. I didn't even wait to see what

160
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 6: the end result is. I just immediately said, I know

161
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 6: I can get up that hill because I'm a.

162
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: Skip Barbaration school graduate.

163
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 6: But right now there looks like mass carnage, right yeah,

164
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 6: So I spin back around, go back down Douglas, take

165
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 6: Upper or Lower Afting Road.

166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: Up, and it still wants me to keep going right.

167
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 6: It wants to take me to Highland, and Highland doesn't

168
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 6: even know, well there's no traffic, but really doesn't even

169
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 6: make any said you're right because the so what GPS,

170
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: I don't think. No, they don't know road conditions. They

171
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 6: might no deed tours, but they don't know it's a blizzard.

172
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 6: So you can't always trust and so there are flaws

173
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: in the system.

174
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: There are, and.

175
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 6: I you know, I I I mean, I got home

176
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 6: safe and sound, but if you know, I don't know

177
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 6: what happened to those people down there, because that's that

178
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 6: happened to me going up Bailey one time too. This

179
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: is years ago, and I had a little Nissan Ultima

180
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 6: real light car.

181
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: I slid backwards.

182
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 6: I was going up out at the top and I

183
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 6: started coming backwards and I and I had to pull over,

184
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 6: you know, just take it over to the shoulder, slowly

185
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 6: back it down and then go the other way because

186
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: you just couldn't make it up. It was like glare ice.

187
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 6: So I had an adventurous time getting home what is

188
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 6: normally a thirty five minute We're all in the same boat.

189
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 6: What's a thirty five minute drive? Took me almost two hours?

190
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 6: How long did it take you to get home? It

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 6: took me an hour and a half. And you're normally

192
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 6: I mean, if there was no traffic, it's like a

193
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 6: twenty three minute drive.

194
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but you know that never exists at that

195
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: time of the day.

196
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 6: So it was equivalent to driving the Sant Cloud on

197
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: a perfect day, is what yours was? Because froma yeah,

198
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 6: because from here to Saint Clouds about about a ninety

199
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 6: minute drive or maybe not quite fit here from Woodbury

200
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 6: this it's a ninety minute drive.

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: Well, I had to get coverage, you know, Ingrid's still

202
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: too young when she gets off the bus, right, like

203
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: you have You've got to have a parent there.

204
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: She's a kindergartener. You gotta have a parent there. Okay.

205
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't able to be there for that time, so

206
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: I had to call Grampa and Graham and say, hey,

207
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: can you come on over and right gettingered off the

208
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: bus because I'm not going to be there on time.

209
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, some of says common that is the beginning of

210
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: Snelling Avenue. Huh. Highland drive is not huh, what are

211
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 6: they talking about. I don't know if they mean that

212
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 6: it's the beginning of Smelling Avenue. I don't know what

213
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 6: they're talking about.

214
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: But anyway, is there a hill at the beginning of

215
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: Snelling is well, I don't know, but.

216
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 6: No, I mean because I'm talking about off of six

217
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 6: ninety four, off of sixty one ten you know over

218
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 6: by over the Woodbury when you're getting over to Woodbury,

219
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: or you've you've got the metal recycling plant, and you

220
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 6: got the railroad yard and you have the barges and

221
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 6: all that I'm talking I'm talking about. It's way past Snelling,

222
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 6: way past now. So anyway, safe and sound we are.

223
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 6: I hear the temperature is going to plummet just beautiful

224
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 6: on Saturday night. So that's that's another thing this year

225
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 6: there we do have plenty to get to today.

226
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: Tenneby, I am boy. You know, yesterday Rose and I

227
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: were talking about the uh Gophers Purdue game.

228
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 6: Minnesota Golden goldhermen's basketball team coming off a upset of

229
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 6: number twenty two ranked Indiana taking on six ranked Perdue.

230
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: They coming off.

231
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 6: An upset loss to Iowa State, and that's what dropped

232
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 6: them from first to sixth. I told Rose and I

233
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 6: think the Minnesota Golden Gophers can hang with the Purdue

234
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 6: boiler Makers. Well I was half right. We'll explain and

Speaker 2: I do have three? Okay, John Kriesel, we'll be here.

Speaker 3: Halverson will bring some of that energy to Program Password tomorrow.

253
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: I got a lot of enemies. They're draining all my energies.

254
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: So we've got that coming your way tomorrow.

255
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 6: So yesterday, when we last left our hero, which was me,

256
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 6: I looked at Rosie and Rosie was basically well, he

257
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 6: was basically saying the Golphers have no chance, right without

258
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 6: saying they have no chance.

259
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, now, wait a minute.

260
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 6: Now, they just beat number twenty two ranked Indiana, And

261
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 6: I know it's early in the year, the rankings are subjective.

262
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 6: Just because you're rated twenty two, it doesn't mean you're

263
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 6: the twenty second best team in the country.

264
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: But you're highly right, got it?

265
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 6: And the Golphers upset number twenty we stormed the court,

266
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 6: which again I Rosen agreed with me, and I was stunned.

267
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 6: I tried to get him to rip the storm into

268
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 6: the court. See, because I think we've talked about this before.

269
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 6: Everybody likes to make fun of student bodies that storm

270
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 6: the court when they don't think it's really worth it.

271
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 6: Like you could make the argument that if you beat

272
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 6: the number twenty two team in the nation, that's really

273
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 6: not worth storming the court. But kids, they're just college kids.

274
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 6: You just do things right, it's just for fun. You

275
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 6: just let's go storm the court because it's I'll put

276
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: it this way, there are a lot of kids going

277
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 6: to colleges where if you don't storm the court when

278
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 6: it's really not deemed necessary by the adults, you'll never

279
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: dorm a court.

280
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, well here in Minnesota, you never know

281
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna have that chance. That's right.

282
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 6: That's that's my point. So it's like, so if kids

283
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 6: want to storm the court or storm the.

284
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: Field, let him do it. I don't. I don't.

285
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 6: It doesn't bother me at all. And that's how I've

286
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 6: always felt. Rosen seemed to appear to agree.

287
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: With that.

288
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 6: Without me saying it. I just wanted to hear that,

289
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 6: you know, to go, how do you then? I was

290
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 6: going to get him going, but I tried to, but

291
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 6: he didn't. He didn't take the bait. But yesterday anyway

292
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 6: he did. I don't think he thought they would have

293
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 6: win ten and b after after falling behind seven to

294
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 6: zero at at the Boilermakers.

295
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: Home Jeane Katy Katie whatever. The gene Autry Arena.

296
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 6: It's thirty five thirty two at the half, thirty five

297
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 6: thirty two, Gophers down by three, number sixteen in the nation.

298
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 6: So I'm thinking, maybe that upset of Indiana really isn't

299
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 6: an upset. Maybe the Gophers are better. And then we think,

300
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 6: thank thunk, they were timneby starting the second If the

301
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 6: Golphers didn't make a basket until there was ten minutes

302
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 6: to go in the game, they were outscored I think

303
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 6: twenty nine to zip by the time they got another

304
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 6: basket to start to say twenty two it was.

305
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: And I got to be on Twitter. I said, I.

306
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: Flipped it over to Jigans to watch a rerun of

307
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 6: Gilligans Out, and I just thought it was a good bit.

308
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 6: I didn't do that, but I stopped watching as my

309
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 6: wife and I ate dinner. I had it on in

310
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: the background, but you know, we're talking and doing this

311
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: and doing that. I look up and we're it's like

312
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 6: it went from thirty five thirty two at that point,

313
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: it was like fifty six thirty two or something like that.

314
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: Can't be possible, but that's how bad it was where

315
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 6: And I saw a quote from Painter that he's the

316
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 6: head coach of Purdue, and he said, yah, oh, he

317
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 6: kind of got things going. He was really he was

318
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: nice about it. But he basically said we kind of

319
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: figured some things out or whatever he said.

320
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: But that was debilitating, you know, And I don't know.

321
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 6: Psychologically, you know. You know, kids are resilient, right, Athletes

322
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 6: are resilient. Everybody's been no matter who you are, where

323
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 6: you've been, where you're going, where you're at, You've been

324
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 6: on both ends of blowouts. Right, But that's a beatdown

325
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 6: like I've I don't ever remember ever all the times

326
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 6: I've watched hoops, watch a team down by three at

327
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 6: the half, to be down by they were down by

328
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 6: thirty plus within ten minutes of the second half or not,

329
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 6: you know, ten nine, ten minutes of the second half.

330
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 6: And so like I say, I told Rosen, I think

331
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 6: the Gophers can hang with the Boilermakers. And I was

332
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 6: half right, because for one half they did it. Matter

333
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 6: of fact, I sent him a text, I said, you

334
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 6: doubted these Gophers. Of course, he was out to dinner,

335
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 6: not even talking. He's always out to dinner. It's his hobby.

336
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 6: It is his hobby. So he was out to dinner

337
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 6: and he said he's aw the score. And then I

338
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 6: texted him back and I said, we're just getting destroyed.

339
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 6: He went, uh, then of course I sent him a text,

340
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 6: another text, let me find Roseen.

341
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: That's what I sent him this morning, Monday, December.

342
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 6: Eighth, Phoenix won o eight Wolves one oh five. So

343
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 6: that was this past Monday, Wednesday, December tenth. Oklahoma City

344
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 6: one thirty eight, Phoenix eighty nine. You've got to be

345
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 6: between the two teams. That was the quarter final round

346
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 6: of this NBA Cup. The Wolves couldn't beat Phoenix on

347
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: their home floor. Oklahoma City beat Phoenix by fifty points.

348
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: Fifty points this Oklahoma City club tenneby. You and I

349
00:18:51,880 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 6: were talking about it off air briefly. The numbers are astonishing.

350
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 6: They are twenty four to one. They've tied the twenty

351
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 6: fifteen to twenty sixteen Golden State Warriors for the best

352
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 6: twenty five game start in NBA history. Now, the Warriors

353
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 6: were twenty four and oh before falling in game twenty five.

354
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 6: So Oklahoma City lost their game earlier. You know it

355
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 6: didn't take them. They weren't twenty four to oh going

356
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: into that game.

357
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember. A couple of weeks ago. They lost,

358
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: but still ties a record for the best start.

359
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 6: The thunder are even more dominant this season than they

360
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 6: were last season, when they posted the biggest scoring margin

361
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 6: in NBA.

362
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,840

Speaker 6: season to seventeen point five points per game, by far

366
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 6: the biggest margin the league.

367
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 2: Has seen through twenty five games.

368
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 6: Boston outscored opponents by an average of thirteen point nine

369
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 6: points through the first twenty five games of the seven

370
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 6: eight season. Wednesday's win Waskacs seventeenth by ten or more

371
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 6: points this season, that ties for the second.

372
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: Most through twenty five games ever.

373
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 6: Boston had nineteen double digit wins in the first twenty

374
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 6: five games of seven oh eight. The Thunder became the

375
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 6: first franchise to have that many double digit wins this

376
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: early and back to back seasons. They also had seventeen

377
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 6: such wins in the first twenty five games of last season,

378
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 6: and the five to twenty five left in the fourth quarter,

379
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 6: the Thunder went up one to twenty.

380
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: Eight to seventy eight.

381
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 6: That's the first time a team is led by fifty

382
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 6: points in the NBA this season. They would go on

383
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 6: to lead by as many as fifty three. Their biggest

384
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 6: lead in the regular season game last year was forty four.

385
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 6: They did have leads of forty nine to fifty six

386
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 6: in playoff games. Were any of those against the Wolves

387
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 6: because we lost We lost four to them last year, right, No,

388
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 6: we never got to play them. No, we lost in

389
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 6: the Western Conference finals. Yeah, I don't know if. I

390
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 6: don't know if we lost forty nine, if we were

391
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 6: one of those, if the difference in any of the

392
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 6: playoff games, because they had two games which they had

393
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 6: leads of forty nine or fifty six, I don't know

394
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 6: if the Wolves were the victim of one of those

395
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 6: leads or not. But and you know, Rose and I

396
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: were talking, you know you were yesterday we were talking

397
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 6: on the air about how well they're just in a

398
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 6: different stratosphere.

399
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but I was trying to say to them,

400
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: they still put on there.

401
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 6: Their basketball shorts and their jersey's one leg and one arm.

402
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: At the time.

403
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 6: It's like, because Rosen came back with the old Well,

404
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: you know, the Wolves when they lost earlier to the Thunder,

405
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 6: they didn't lose by many, it was a three four

406
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 6: point game. Well, that means they can play with them

407
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: but it's all about effort and wanting to do a

408
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 6: game in and game out. Okay, C does, and the

409
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 6: Wolves aren't the only one. I'll give you another example.

410
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 6: On the other side of the break, I think it's

411
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 6: running ramped. I had no idea.

412
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: It was all over the NBA. It's sad really.

413
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: By the way, if you had talked Vikings that segment,

414
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: who would have been brought to you by?

415
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,160

439
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 6: Yes, Alec Lewis writes Vikings for the Athletic.

440
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: You're familiar with the Athletics.

441
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: Tell me it's a New York Times bought it. I

442
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 6: wonder what they paid the guys that started the Athletic,

443
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 6: if I even have the story correct.

444
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: I thought it was.

445
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 6: I thought it was told just two guys, not five guys.

446
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 6: That's a Hamburger place. But two guys came up with

447
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 6: the idea of.

448
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: Let's do a online.

449
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 6: Sports site, you know or whatever they call them. And anyway,

450
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 6: they hired the best writers all over the country and

451
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: now they write and it's I think the New York

452
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 6: Times bought and it's a wonderful, wonderful thing.

453
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: And Alec loses.

454
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 6: The Vikings beat writer for The Athletic the other day

455
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 6: wrote a story or regarding the the Vikings and what

456
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 6: they're doing offensively now. Headline of the pieces Vikings coach

457
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connell's formula work versus the Commanders. But is it sustainable?

458
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 6: In other words, as we talked about, for lack of

459
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 6: a better phrase, they sort of dumbed down the offense.

460
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 6: They made it because you know, with listening to CHAOSI yesterday,

461
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 6: did you hear him when he started doing all the

462
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 6: inner football talk? I know, I had no idea that

463
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 6: there was even that much inner football talk to talk.

464
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 6: I mean, he hadn't. I couldn't even begin to recite

465
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 6: the things he was saying about different formations and different

466
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 6: looks and different plays and different this kind of letting everybody,

467
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: I think know how.

468
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: Complicated it is.

469
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 6: And what Alec writes here is the challenge for O'Connell

470
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 6: and the team in twenty twenty five has been transitioning

471
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 6: to a less potent formula with a smaller margin for

472
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 6: error error, a scheme that's less explosive but more efficient.

473
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 6: Sunday's result against the Commanders established as a viable strategy,

474
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: which has always seemed a wise approach with young quarterback

475
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy as the starter. It also underscored the need

476
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 6: for this formula to be sustainable. O'Connell admitted Monday quote,

477
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 6: you have to have a pretty unique plan. And you know,

478
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 6: one of the questions that I'm hoping someone will ask

479
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 6: the coach eventually is do you think you should have

480
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 6: done this simplified plan a lot earlier?

481
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, you we saw that his mechanics, I mean.

482
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 6: I didn't see it, but we were told, you know

483
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 6: that they saw you know, you know, dragging his foot

484
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 6: and he doesn't have his eyes and he whipped, he

485
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 6: does a leg whip or something when he throws, and

486
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 6: he doesn't keep his eyes and his feet aligned and

487
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 6: all these different things like that. And then you mix

488
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: that with a young kid who played in a less

489
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 6: complicated offense at college, particularly played for a team that

490
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 6: basically was a running team that just passed when necessary

491
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 6: or to keep you know, play, actually keep the the

492
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 6: defense honest to not always to just stack up against

493
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 6: a run. Because Harbaugh when he was a coach there

494
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 6: with with with mccarthury like to run the football. But

495
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 6: that question has not been asked of him yet, and

496
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 6: it's I guess it doesn't matter, but it is sort

497
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 6: of kind of a dilemma to because it worked really

498
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 6: well against the Commanders, who, let's face the commanders were

499
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 6: not very interested in the game. They'd lost eight or

500
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 6: nine in a row. I'm not saying they weren't trying.

501
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 6: But it worked a perfection. But is it sustainable is

502
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: the question, because they're going to have to probably I

503
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 6: don't know if you call it baby steps, They're going

504
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 6: to have to take those training wheels off eventually to

505
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: get to get McCarthy to be able to execute the

506
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: kind of offense that the Vikings want and what they've

507
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 6: been built for.

508
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: That's why you have Justin.

509
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 6: Jefferson, That's why you have Addison, That's why you have

510
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 6: the wide receivers and that vertical downfield.

511
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: You know, I think what was the.

512
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 6: Number Nobody throws the ball in the air further downfield

513
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 6: than the Vikings on average. I mean, they don't just

514
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 6: they don't throw you know, guys four five time in

515
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 6: the pocket in they because they throw the ball further

516
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 6: down the field in the air. And so we'll see

517
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 6: I you know, and again how quickly do you make

518
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 6: that transition.

519
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

520
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 6: We'll have to see what happens on Sunday. We'll be

521
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 6: waiting all day for Sunday Night Vikings at Jerry's World

522
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 6: to take on the Cowboys Cowboys defense. In watching the

523
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 6: Lions Cowboys game this past past Thursday night or two,

524
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 6: you know, a week ago today.

525
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: They were talking about how.

526
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 6: Dallas's defense had gotten better the last couple of games.

527
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: You know they did. They beat Philadelphia, They won two

528
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: games in a row.

529
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 6: I think they beat Philly and somebody else to put

530
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 6: themselves back in the playoff picture.

531
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: Before they played Detroit.

532
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 6: Their offense is very explosive, right, but they had had

533
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 6: trouble stopping people.

534
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: But then the Lions scored.

535
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 6: I don't know how many they put up against him,

536
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: as at put it up against him, So again, maybe

537
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 6: they'd kind of regress to where they'd been before. So it's,

538
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 6: at least statistically and on paper, not a really good defense,

539
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 6: which should bode well.

540
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: For McCarthy and the Vikings. But we'll see.

541
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: You know, this is a team that's still even though

542
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 6: they're playoff percentage and I don't know what it is

543
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 6: their chances of making the playoff. They always have these numbers, right,

544
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 6: you know what percentage. I don't know what the Cowboys is,

545
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: but they're on the outside looking in. They need to

546
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: run the table probably and get some help along the way.

547
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 6: But I guess you keep giving it the old College

548
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 6: try until you are officially eliminated. So they should have

549
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 6: a team that's more interested National TV it's.

550
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: At their place.

551
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 6: Then after that it's Giants here, I believe, or is

552
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 6: the Giants York?

553
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Is that New York with the Giants?

554
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 6: And again, the Giants are sort of in a position

555
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 6: that the Vikings kind of our in as far as

556
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 6: they're trying to because Jackson Dart is going to be

557
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 6: their quarterback in the future, right, yes, yeah, so they're

558
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: trying to to.

559
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Help him in his game.

560
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 6: So I think the Giants will be they'll be given

561
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 6: it the old college run.

562
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: And then after that, you know.

563
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: Is it to Troy and Green Bay or Detroit in

564
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: Chicago's Detroit and green in Green Bay And you know,

565
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 6: depending upon the result, I think Detroit's going to get

566
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 6: crushed this Sunday against the Rams at Los Angeles.

567
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: Maybe not, but they could.

568
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 6: It still could be a game that Detroit needs to

569
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 6: win and Green Bay certainly will be a game. I

570
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 6: would imagine we won't know till then green Bay's making

571
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 6: postseason play. It's just where will they get their seed?

572
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 6: And will that game have seeding? That's what I'm looking for,

573
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 6: you know what, will will they be able? Will they

574
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 6: be able to improve their seed with a win? In

575
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 6: other words, if they're if they're the three seed, no

576
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 6: matter if they win or lose, Okay, they probably rest guys, right,

577
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 6: want to be fresh for the playoffs the next week,

578
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 6: especially if they don't have the number one seed. Overall,

579
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: they got to play the opening week. Arrest some guys

580
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 6: would would again make it less difficult for the quarterback

581
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 6: to grow in his game.

582
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Though I would rather see him.

583
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 6: Playing in games in which the other team because that

584
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 6: can be a bit deceiving then too. Right, if you're

585
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 6: playing a team that, let's say Green Bays got a

586
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 6: playoff spot locked up and they can't move up or

587
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 6: down in the seedings, well they're probably going to play

588
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 6: a lot of their They'll they'll play their starters for

589
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 6: a good portion probably the first half.

590
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: After that they'll kind of pick and shoes.

591
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 6: I suppose at that point and then the kid's not

592
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 6: really playing against the team that's showing them everything. So

593
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 6: but yeah, that is that is the thing. Is what

594
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 6: they're doing now sustainable? I don't think it is. I

595
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 6: think because that offense isn't your personnel, and and and

596
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 6: and O'Connor what he likes as a play caller, what

597
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: they're doing now really.

598
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: Isn't his bag. Right, So we'll see.

599
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 6: But Sunday, our pregame starts at five. Will be waiting

600
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 6: all day for some night it will be Uh.

601
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: Do you have some gettable defenses coming up? Yes, Cowboys

602
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: have one of the worst defenses in football right.

603
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 6: Well, like I say, Giants, Well, like I say, though,

604
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: what they were saying is there are two games before

605
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 6: that their defense took a.

606
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: Step forward, you know, they they improved.

607
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 6: They came back to the pack against the Trumpet their

608
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 6: first what whatever whatever broadcast crew does the Thursday night

609
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 6: game herb Street and Michaels, Is that who it is?

610
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: Or is it Michaels and Collinsworth? Whoever it is.

611
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 6: They said that the Cowboy defense had played much better

612
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 6: their last two games. But you're right on they they

613
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 6: all year have been a bad defense, but they were

614
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: pretty good up until.

615
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: The Detroit came the last two weeks before that.

616
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: And by improvement for Dallas, I means giving up twenty

617
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: eight to Kansas City in twenty one to PHILIDELPA, which

618
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: right in twenty one to Philadelphia. So you're giving yourself

619
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: a chance to win and better than what they've been

620
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: from most of the season. But they've given up forty

621
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: points multiple times a season.

622
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: Says Common.

623
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 6: No hurry to take the training wheels off. Sean Payton

624
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 6: still has training wheels on bow knicks and with the

625
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 6: defense like THEIRS. Coincidentally, the Vikings also have it works. Sunday,

626
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 6: he completed thirty one passes with an average of under

627
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 6: seven yards per completion. But Peyton knows what he has

628
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 6: and builds around it, a plan Koc should have also had,

629
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 6: and it has cost him the season.

630
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: And that has been my point all along, is that

631
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: if you knew the.

632
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 6: Starting with the mechanics, I mean, I don't know bow knicks.

633
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 6: I haven't heard he has trouble with mechanics. It's just

634
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 6: he's young.

635
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: He's new to the.

636
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 6: NFL, right, and so yeah, I would have thought you

637
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 6: would try to It's almost like they force fed McCarthy

638
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 6: and gave him too much, put too much on his

639
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 6: plate too soon, especially if the mechanics part is your issue.

640
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: And then the kid admitted he's got so much. He's

641
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: an overthinker.

642
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 6: So now he's thinking about the mechanics and still trying

643
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 6: to consume the playbook, make reads, call plays, do the

644
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: whole thing. It was just it'd be a lot for anybody,

645
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 6: but especially a young wouldn't be a lot for Phil Rivers.

646
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 2: Phil Rivers has seen everything, done everything. Phil Rivers will.

647
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: Play this weekend, it looks like, and he'll probably he'll

648
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 6: probably play okay, even though he has to play in

649
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 6: five years and he's looking more like Luka Doncic last

650
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 6: year than Luka Doncic this year.

651
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: What, yeah, I think I was Ramifications is.

652
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 6: The word I was looking for. Lieber answered that this morning.

653
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 6: He said Vikings wanted JJ to play in their system.

654
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 6: System is too fast and now they dumbed it down. Well,

655
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 6: now I know that I've answered that question myself. It

656
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 6: doesn't take liber What I'm saying is, why did they

657
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 6: want him to play their system? If they did, you

658
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 6: should have known he wasn't ready. You have to know that.

659
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 6: And then when you add the mechanics into it. What

660
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 6: threw it all off?

661
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: And my point is, I think the coach and it's

662
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: not the end of the world. It's one season.

663
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: We probably with a rookie quarterback and he's basically a rookie,

664
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 6: probably weren't going to to get to the big game.

665
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 6: But when you're coming off a fourteen and three season

666
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 6: and you make the kind of free agent acquisitions you did.

667
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 6: They spent, they spent. They spent more money in free

668
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 6: agency than I think anybody I think was. There's this

669
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 6: number going around like three hundred million dollars committed to

670
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 6: the team, and this and that and the other thing.

671
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 6: It's like, well, your your window. You're playing to win,

672
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 6: and then you give you just put too much on

673
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 6: the kids plate. What I texted or tweeted during the

674
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 6: game on Sunday, and I stand behind it, I said,

675
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 6: I wish the calendar red September eighth.

676
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: This is the kind of game we should have saw.

677
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 6: This is the kind of game plan, a kind of

678
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 6: offense we should have saw the first week of the sea.

679
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: It would have been easier to do the three tight.

680
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 6: End sets, run the ball a little more, have him

681
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 6: get rid of the ball right away and then slowly

682
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 6: build up from there.

683
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 2: Instead, we just we put the cart before the horse.

684
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: We said, nope, we're going about we always go when

685
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 6: he can do this, and they overestimated what he was

686
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 6: able to consume and so all the and then you know,

687
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 6: we talked forever about well, should they have kept Darnold,

688
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 6: should they have kept Danny Dimes? Should they had signed

689
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 6: a roj And then the comeback by a lot of people,

690
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 6: or well then we wanted that money to spend on

691
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 6: those free agents. Well, none of those free agents have

692
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 6: played particularly well. I mean, the defensive guy is his name,

693
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 6: Harror Grove Hard, he's played better, He's he's played better

694
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 6: the second half of the season. And everybody tells me

695
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 6: the fries guy has been solid. You know, he hasn't

696
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 6: been the best lineman in pro football, but he's been solid.

697
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 6: So it wasn't like the money went and it was

698
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: completely flushed down the toilet. But it's not super impact players. No,

699
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 6: that's exactly right. It's not super impact players. So yeah,

700
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: I this one says Cowboys have two great run stoppers, now, Brandon, Well,

701
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 6: a lot of teams are great run stoppers. But if

702
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 6: the team's throwing passes.

703
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: They gave up forty four points last week.

704
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 6: And my well, my point is is if they're throwing

705
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 6: the ball, that has nothing to do with stopping the run.

706
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, they.

707
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 6: And then they've got Ceede Lamb out for I don't.

708
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 3: Think he's out. I think he does have an injury

709
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: designation this week. So well, I thought he was limited

710
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: a practice yesterday.

711
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: Maybe who was the other bro the other dude they

712
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: have that they got from Pitts.

713
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: George Pickens, and that's been a great addition for them

714
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 3: this year. He's had a fantastic season, especially since CD

715
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: hasn't been completely all year long. The thing that's giving

716
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: them they've kind of just had CD Lamb before and

717
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 3: that's it, right, and George Pickens has definitely given them

718
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: basically like a second number one. Dak Prescott's having a

719
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: pretty good year. Yeah, you know, they don't have a

720
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 3: running game that's going to scare you very much, which

721
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: I think from a biking standpoint, it's good. It seems

722
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 3: like teams that beat up on the Bikings can run

723
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 3: on them. But Javonte Williams isn't going to scare you.

724
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 6: Well, I thought I read a story coming off of

725
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 6: the last game in which Lamb left the.

726
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: Game where Pickens can be one of those malecontent kind

727
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: of guys. Is that true? I mean, like they even

728
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: said it comes across that way. Yeah, well they even

729
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 2: they what it said was.

730
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 6: Late in that game against Detroit, he just kind of

731
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 6: went through the motions and didn't even try to run

732
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 6: a pass pattern. I mean, he was just like he

733
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 6: They thought he just basically gave up and quit.

734
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: And so I've read something where.

735
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 6: Matter of fact, I think maybe it was maybe it

736
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 6: was a national story, and then I think.

737
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 2: Fish Rap picked up on it. I think.

738
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 6: I think Craig wrote about it because he was extolling

739
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 6: the virtues of our guy, Justin Jefferson.

740
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: It says, h here's what Craig wrote. It said.

741
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 6: Analysis Justin Jefferson was one of the NFL's easiest thirty

742
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 6: five million dollars a year decisions. Compare that with the

743
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 6: choice Dallas faces with wide out George Pickens.

744
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: Here's what he writes about Pickens.

745
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: It says, Kirby smartest coach at Georgia, called himselfish and undisciplined.

746
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin as coach with Pittsburgh said he needed to

747
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 6: grow up, and then traded under the Cowboys when he

748
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 6: refused to mature improve He's worthy of.

749
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: The hefty rays that comes with a second contract.

750
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 6: With seventy eight catches and eleven hundred seventy yards and

751
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 6: eight tonies, Pickens is having a breakout season, but he's

752
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 6: all so coming off another controversial game that left many

753
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 6: once again questioning his effort and character.

754
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 2: Former Seahawks cornerback.

755
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 6: Richard Sherman got the ball rolling after the Cowboys lost

756
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 6: to Detroit. From the postgame sideline set, he eviscerated Pickens,

757
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 6: saying quote he looked uninterested in playing football. After Ceedee

758
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 6: Lamb left with the concussion and Ryan Flornoy stepped up

759
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 6: and led the way in catches and yards, Pickens caught

760
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 6: five of nine targets for thirty seven yards. He gave

761
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 6: up on a deep route late in the game was

762
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 6: confronted by Dak Prescott on the sideline.

763
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: This, of course, is nothing new.

764
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 6: The Steelers fine Pickens more than two hundred thoy tw

765
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, the year he infamously refused to block

766
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 6: for running back Jalen Warre near the goal one because.

767
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 2: He didn't want to get hurt.

768
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 6: So while Pickens is a real talent, he also seems

769
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 6: to be one of those diva type wide receiver.

770
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: Guys well, and he fell in the draft for those

771
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: very reasons. If you recall, in that twenty twenty two draft,

772
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 3: he was a purple praise selection of mine. Yes, when

773
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 3: I was studying the all twenty two, the twenty two wide,

774
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 3: I thought he was physically the best wide receiver in

775
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: that draft, yep. And he ended up being the eleventh

776
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: wide receiver, taking off the board midway through the second

777
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: half second round. But Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris O Labby,

778
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams, Johan Dottson, Traylon Burks, those guys all went

779
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 3: in the first round ahead of him. Christian Watson for

780
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: Green Bay, Wandale Robinson, John Metchi for Houston went ahead

781
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 3: of him, Taekwon Thornton and New England. And yeah, the

782
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: Pickens was the eleventh receiver taken. But from a pure

783
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 3: just skill athletics standpoint, he was up there with all

784
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: of them.

785
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Just pack I think just Picks were number twelve. I

786
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: don't remember what his number is.

787
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 6: Well, the reason I asked is we remember Aman Ross

788
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 6: saint rownd Whears fourteen because thirteen quarterback right wide receivers

789
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 6: was taking him before.

790
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 2: So I thought maybe Pickens did the same thing.

791
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: Why do I feel like he's number nineteen? They might be, Oh,

792
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: he where's number three? That was way off.

793
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 6: Someone says, if you mentioned Purple Prey, you have to

794
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 6: play the song. By the way, if you heard Ordo

795
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 6: is a new Christmas song, I thought I heard it

796
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 6: in the overhead speed.

797
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: I did not hear it.

798
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 6: I thought I heard it just when I was walking through,

799
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 6: but I didn't like.

800
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 2: Maybe we should find it.

801
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 6: If I told you no, Nordo reminds me of Paul Simon,

802
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 6: of Simon and Garfunkle fame. I've told you before. I've

803
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 6: talked about it on the air where the two of

804
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 6: them haven't common they both were for Paul. They're both yeah,

805
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 6: they both been. They're both saying they're both human beings.

806
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 6: I've been in that studio when he's been writing the rap.

807
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 6: It's like being a fly.

808
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: On the wall. Man. It's the coolest thing ever.

809
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 6: Here's a text message says, I'm sure the Mike is

810
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 6: grilled JJ in the pre draft evaluation I meaning he

811
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 6: asked all their questions about the playbook they want to run.

812
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 6: If he aced it and felt comfortable talking Kos's playbook,

813
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 6: then why wouldn't they implement the Viking's playbook to JJ,

814
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 6: JJ failed on the field, KOs probably thought he could

815
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 6: fix the Still mckenneth on k, you again, somebody's sticking

816
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 6: up for the head coach.

817
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I had him in the building for two years?

818
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: Is your two now?

819
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 3: And it's not all you just showed up in April

820
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: and you put him out there and immediately put him

821
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: in your system.

822
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: It's it's just astonishing to me.

823
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 6: Where where this is what happens to you get a

824
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 6: new coach or new manager, whatever the case. Maybe he

825
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 6: does some nice things early because he has done somebody

826
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 6: he's a good coach, But then it's like, what you

827
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 6: there's no criticism you could levy on him. Can't do

828
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 6: anything wrong, can't do anything wrong. They did something wrong there.

829
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 6: It's obvious.

830
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: When we returned, well, and I'll go back to I

831
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: still think it's possible KOs knew all this going into

832
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: the year, wanted to go get Aaron Rodgers and didn't

833
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: get approval from all the other decision makers, and now

834
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: he might be stuck with him when maybe he didn't

835
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: want to be with him that whole time.

836
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 6: That could be it too, And we'll probably never know

837
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 6: until I write that book.

838
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 2: Did I tell you I wrote a book? It's sold out.
