Speaker 3: comics tennebi Mark Rosen here as well. Your Minnesota Timberwolves

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: lose to the Memphis Grizzly last night. Don't remember the

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: exact score, one sixteen to one ten, one sixteen, one ten,

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: And after reading the Gamer last night after the game

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: was over.

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: I just thought it was an improvement.

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: Well because when I didn't see any quotes of we

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: weren't trying, we don't want to play these games, blah

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: blah blah. So I thought, hey, which is a bad

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: shooting night. I can accept a bad shooting when you

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: know a team just off it just doesn't work. I

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: don't like when they say, well, we didn't put in

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: the effort, the other team tried harder than we do,

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: which we hear from the Minnesota Timberwolves over and over

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: and over again. But then I read an analysis piece

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: from Chris Hine and the head coach is beside himself.

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: In Wednesday's game, they lost thanks to what coach Chris

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: Finch called a horrendous night Offensively, were they shot forty

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: percent from the field thirty percent from three point range,

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: with the team lamenting some of its decision making, the

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: choices to attack former DP Player of the Year Jaron

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior inside multiple times down the stretch. The Wolves

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: learned their lessons in this one a little too late.

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: Finch said, our offensive decision making was awful, from shot

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: selection to turnovers to execution was just not very good.

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: The Wolves committed seventeen turnovers and he only started to

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: shoot about fifty percent. Rudy Gobert Uh Devincenzo said, it's

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: less about making or missing shot. It's more about just

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: trying to play the speed, play with the pace and

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: make quick decisions.

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: We could have been better at that.

37
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: You make a couple of shots, it's a different it's

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: a different game.

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Finch admitted they were bored to start the season.

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: While that could be human nature, coming off back to

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: back Western Conference Final appearances, you wouldn't help but think

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: while watching those other teams recently, they were talking about

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: how they just haven't kept pace with the other really

44
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: good teams in the West. Right, that the Wolves hadn't

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: played games like that since last postseason. And that's what

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: you know we talked about, you know, board, the team

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: that should be bored be the Oklahoma City thunder Right,

48
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: Well we won a world championship. Right, You would think

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: that the Lakers would be bored, Houston would be bored,

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: San Antonio be. But those teams aren't board. They try

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: real hard. Maybe you can make Hyden, did you watch the.

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 4: Game of the GA I watched the game, and yeah,

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: I mean it was the shooting, was the shots selection.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: They hadn't still had a nine point leaving. It can't

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: be well just because Aunt was out again because missing

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: they were missing four players, Yeah they were, and they

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: you know, they had some guys coming off the bench

58
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: that that played awfully well for them, and they there

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: their effort was to be applauded. The problem I see

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: with this Timbrols team going forward, even though they're seventeen

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 4: and ten, is that guys who were counting on even

62
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: like last night, I mean, Memphis had role players that

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: they had come off the bench and filled in some

64
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: roles and did did a really nice job. The Wolves

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: did not, and one of the you know, one of

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: their starters, get I know the reason he was starting

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: is Aunt was out with the foot injury again Bones Island.

68
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: He's not a starting guard. He just isn't.

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: He gives you a little splash here and there. But

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: the problem is you get three of those guys right

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: now that they can't count on Highland starting. I mean,

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Conley's still out and he's you know, he's a part

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: time player right now. Tarren Shann has been disappointing. He

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: has you know, moments and that's it. Rob Dillingham is

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: pretty much invisible, a guy that they thought would be

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: getting better, appreciably better by now, And so you get

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: stuck it in a rut. And you know, I heard

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: Johnny Athletic on earlier today and he was talking about

79
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: Jade McDaniels. You can't have him just shooting, you know,

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: eleven times. He's got to get him more involved in

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: this offense. And so I still think that, and I

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: know for a fact they're looking for a guard and

83
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: one guy that I you probably haven't heard his name mentioned,

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: and I'll throw his name out there. I don't know

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: how easy it's going to be to wrangle him from Phoenix.

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: But there's a guard named Colin Gillespie.

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: Ah, I love him, Jamim remember since he played for

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Boston College.

89
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: He was at Villanova. That's okay, but he's a he's

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: a very good guard. He's twenty six. He fits the

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: bill what Minnesota wants he to get. But the problem

92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: is he's playing a lot better right now, and I'm

93
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: not sure Phoenix wants. You know, they're competing against the Wolves.

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: But he's the type of player. He's that kind of guy.

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: We're hearing a lot about other players in the league,

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: and that's that's fine, but he's the type of player

97
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 4: the Wolves are need of, desperate need of right now.

98
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: And I you know, when Ann comes back, yeah, of

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: course he's gonna he'll probably play tomorrow night against Okay. See,

100
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: and they got they got it. You know, their schedule

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: now gets tougher. They got Milwaukee here on Sunday and

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: then you know, their record isn't great, but they got

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: they got talent, and then they got the Knicks here

104
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: on Tuesday night and this is so that's their three

105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: games stretch. Maybe they'll they'll rise to the occasion. And

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: obviously Ant will get back, but they're still. Man, it

107
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: was a sconge after that three game.

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: What do they have after that? I don't know.

109
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 4: I had to look up, I have to look I don't.

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 4: I don't know, honestly, I haven't looked that far ahead.

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 4: But it was, Yeah, it was. They had the lead

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: and they should have closed them out and they just

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 4: you know, Nos couldn't hit a shot to save his life.

114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: And is it possible they're just not as good as

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: they were the last two?

116
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it is possible, Yes it is. I mean,

117
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: I know it's still you know, they're under the pacern

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 4: and everything. They're they're a good team, but they're until

119
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: they can start, you know, beating the better teams. And

120
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: maybe it'll start this weekend. You know, they can't obviously

121
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 4: you lose Anstin on the on the floor. He would

122
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: have taken the game over last night. I mean, I'm

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: sure he would.

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Lost job Iran towards Zach Edy did if they were

125
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: on the floor, if they were well.

126
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: John Moran hasn't been playing very well even when he

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: has been playing, but you know, and Edie's you know,

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: a big force, but he you know, Golbert, you know,

129
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: matches up with him.

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: But it's it's mostly.

131
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 4: These other role players that That's what I'm saying, is

132
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: that they're aware, but they know, I mean, and off

133
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: he lost it with the officials late in the game.

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: He was mad at his team. Yeah, he was f

135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: bombing the official left and right. I think he was

136
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: begging to get kicked out of the game.

137
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: The game was lost by that. You want to watch

138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: that stuff?

139
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: No, I mean, I don't think he said I want

140
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 4: to I want to get out of here. And he

141
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: was mad at his team, but he was, I mean,

142
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: really losing it with this official.

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know why.

144
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: I can't believe the official didn't team him up once

145
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 4: Sheill knew he didn't.

146
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: Want to be there, and he said he that early

147
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: watching this un to point.

148
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: Uh So, yeah, I was disappointing in that context. They

149
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 4: had they had the lead, and Memphis isn't a great

150
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: team and up by far, uh and they were missing

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: a bunch of people and they just did not and

152
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: they had some guy that came off the bench and

153
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 4: hit four threes and you know, it just is one

154
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: of those nights. And it's unfortunately they happened too often.

155
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: But a bigger picture is where's the help. I mean,

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: where's the help coming from if you're if you're looking

157
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: at those three players I mentioned, if your big guns

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: don't come through, those guys have that opportunity. They're they're

159
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: getting playing time right now. You got to play better

160
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: and they're not there, you go, so go get Connor Gillespie.

161
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: Or how about I heard the kids is going to

162
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: reacquaint himself with the Wolves. Maybe he can play too.

163
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Is how old is he? Could he still play? Do

164
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: you think well? I could do the uh the Philip

165
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Rivers bid? How old is he? I'll look him up

166
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: right now.

167
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean I know he's not a point guard, but no,

168
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: he's we could use the help somewhere.

169
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: AG's forty nine in Philip rims. That's probably not going

170
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: to work.

171
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: So he's he's so he's going to like become the

172
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: official one official ambassador from Minnesota TIMBERWLF basketball.

173
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I would there. That sounds about right.

174
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's interesting that he's going to be

175
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: doing in theory a lot of you know, the off

176
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: the court stuff.

177
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: What that means I don't know.

178
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: I mean, eventually he'll have his number up in the

179
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: Rafters and everyone's kind of been waiting for that moment.

180
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen this year, but

181
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: we don't know that yet. But yeah, he'll be I

182
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: mean the fact that Laurie and uh A Rod got

183
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: him kind of signed up. They talked to his agents

184
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 4: and how how much time he's going to spend here

185
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: in what capacity. But I find it hard to believe

186
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: that Kevin's not going to want to have, you know,

187
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 4: have some say in that you know, personnel. He did

188
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: what he was playing here too much at times, too

189
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: much saying in in UH and player personnel and silent.

190
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: His role has been spelled out and he's not going

191
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: to be beyond that. He I think he is not

192
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: the GM I I you know, I I mean.

193
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: People are very I mean longtime Wolves fans. Obviously he's

194
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: the franchise and he's his heart still here and so

195
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: from a PR standpoint, yeah, we'll see how it all

196
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: kind of gets rolled out by the Timberwolves and what

197
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: his responsibilities are going to be. But yeah, he's He's

198
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: back with the minnesot Timberwlves organization.

199
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Pretty cool.

Speaker 3: We'll take a break, come back more to get to

201
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: another a couple of segments. I'm common, he's tend to

202

00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,760

213
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: Space City. Scoop familiar with it? I heard of it. Yeah.

214
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: I think they say Houston is going to make a

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: real push for Gillespie.

216
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not surprised, and so I'm not too far

217
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: off in terms of his people wanting him. I mean,

218
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: it's God, it's not gonna be easy, like I said,

219
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: to pry him out of there. I'm just saying, that's

220
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 4: a name that that's definitely bouncing around the timbers.

221
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: Sixty's helping Power Forward do we have anybody we could

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 3: trade that it's that.

223
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Meal, Yeah, Jade McDaniel. They're not going to trade.

224
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: No, No, they're not Randall. He's not a power forward, no,

225
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: but he's a forward. But I mean Randall's kind of

226
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: a tweener when Nas red, Yeah, I don't think that

227
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: that would not.

228
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Be getting gillspie space city skill.

229
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: Well, Nas Reid and and I think you'd probably have

230
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: to give up one of those young players, as you know,

231
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: the young players.

232
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: So would you say was interested in him? Uh?

233
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: Houston Houston. Yeah, Well it shold you that the kid's good. Yeah,

234
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: he's he's he's flying under the radar. But he's a

235
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 4: guy that management. Uh, they're they're taking a hard look at.

236
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: Headline says Rockets could find a shocking roster upgrade from

237
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: a familiar trade partner if Gillespie somehow becomes available. Yeah,

238
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: that's the Rockets may have found their upgraded point guard.

239
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: Well that's the bit there in lies the battle. But

240
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: maybe this should Billy Garan take care of it. Maybe

241
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: he'll get he could get it done.

242
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Now.

243
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: Gillsbie is having a breakout season. He is averaging thirteen

244
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: point one points a game, three point eight boards, four

245
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: point eight assists, shooting forty two point six from three

246
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 3: point range.

247
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: Just what the doctor ordered his first twenty five games.

248
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: Frankly, given the way they have played the season, the

249
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: Suns have little reason.

250
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: To part with them as of now to trade one

251
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: of those standout players.

252
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: Yet the Rockets likely I have a package that could

253
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 3: entice them to do so.

254
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could ultimately.

255
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: Make all the difference of their offensive versatility as this

256
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 3: season wears on.

257
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem. It's gonna be competition, there always is.

258
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: But Comley it's gotten things done before. I mean, he's

259
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: not afraid to shake the tree. We've seen that with

260
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 4: the gold Bear trade in particular. So we got a

261
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 4: waste to go yet for the deadlines.

262
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, if I'm Garrett, if I'm Garrett, if I'm Conny, first,

263
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: I'd like to see this team actually like try to

264
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: win these games, you know, like actually, you know, as

265
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 3: An said, it doesn't seem like we even want to

266
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: play these games. I would want my team to show

267
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: me that they really do want to play these games,

268
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: that they're going to play defense, start to finish, pretendly

269
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 3: you met it, at least give the effort that the

270
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: that a team like oh Glaoma City, for instance, because

271
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: and then I would be willing to make a trade. Otherwise,

272
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: why would I trade to help you out when you're

273
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: you guys are just playing bad basketball.

274
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they're seventeen and ten, so they're not

275
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: They're not ten and seventeen. They're not a terrible team.

276
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 4: They're just you and Okay, see as a unicorn, I

277
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: mean they're they're a team that comes around every I

278
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: don't know how many years, and they're you know, we'll

279
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: see if they can maintain that. I mean they're they

280
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: probably they might. I mean they might a unicorn. I

281
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: mean they are special team. But there's a whole bunch

282
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 4: of other teams that aren't. And that's the thing is interesting.

283
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: I was looking at the schedule tonight between this is

284
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 4: where we are between the NHL and the NBA. Even

285
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 4: tho I Barkley said it was not a year ago

286
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: or two years ago. When he talked about, you know,

287
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm in the Stanley Cup finals. He was rippling like,

288
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: I'd rather watch the Stanley Cup playoffs than than the NBA.

289
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: I mean some of these matchups that you get, you know,

290
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: like tonight in the NHL, you can look at pretty

291
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: much any of those games and say, we're all good.

292
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: Who's favored?

293
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: I mean, the while they're playing at Columbus tonight, you know,

294
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: then they got Everton, Colorado, and Nashville here next week

295
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: early next week before they have to get out of

296
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: town for the junior hockey tournament. But all of the matchups,

297
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: you go, I don't I don't know. I mean, they're

298
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 4: all pretty pretty even. In the NBA, not quite so much,

299
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: although there's you got in the Oklahoma City's fifteen and

300
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: a half point favorite over the Clippers, San Antonio's big

301
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 4: favorites over Washington. There's some really loudy teams. But for

302
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: the most part, you have you have too many of

303
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: those games. Uh, in the league where the fighting line

304
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: between teams that you know they are going to be

305
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: playoff teams are already pretty much set. It's just a

306
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: matter of what the batting order is going to be.

307
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, So it's kind of what the thing has

308
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: come to. Well, it has in a lot of ways.

309
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: It's a and and that's why, well, I mean, I

310
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: I give credit.

311
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's right.

312
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, you talk about effort and everything, and

313
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: I you know, I was irritated watching the Wolves try

314
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: to make a three point shot last night. But you know,

315
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: I kudos to Memphis. I mean, they have a bunch

316
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: of guys that were scrappy and they were playing hard

317
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: last night, and they were they were. They're two games

318
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: under five hundred, and I think they still feel they

319
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: could be a playoff team with the bodies back.

320
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Memphis.

321
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, they looked like they were going to be that

322
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City team for a couple of years ago and

323
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: job was going and I don't know what's gonna happen

324
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: with his career right now, but yeah, they played hard

325
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 4: last night.

326
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: They deserved they deserved the victory.

327
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: So I'm you know me uh tenneby list radio is what.

328
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Radio? It is lazy radio. We're the kings of lazy radio.

329
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Here and I found another one of those lists. I

330
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: love them. It's hold on. That's not the list.

331
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: They got several lists that I want to get to do.

332
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Here.

333
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: It is NFL QB Pop Power rankings. They say, CBS

334
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: Sports says Matt Stafford is the best quarterback in the

335
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: National Football League. Would you guys agree right now as

336
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: we speak, I mean, not all you know.

337
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were going to make a draft

338
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks for.

339
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: This season, yeah, yeah, because I was gonna say, you know,

340
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: healthy pat Mahomes, you'd probably take. But they've got Matt

341
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: Stafford at one, Drake May at number two, Josh Allen

342
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: at number three.

343
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Sounds about right. It sounds about right.

344
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, based on the success of the Patriots. But I

345
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: still think I would, you know, and Drake May's obviously younger,

346
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: but in.

347
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think they're just doing right now and that

348
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: makes sense. Sure, I understand the.

349
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: Guy that you think Green Bay fans like for now.

350
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: Jordan Love is ranked number four, now am I? The

351
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: only one is do people not here locally not think

352
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: it's highly of him because he wears green and gold.

353
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: If he played for the Vikings, what would we think

354
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: about Jordan Love? We would think, pardon the pun, we

355
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: would love him and think he's the best quarterback in football.

356
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: We would absolutely be head over heels with him.

357
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: But he plays for Green Bay, so it's hard for

358
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: Viking fans. They'd begrudgingly say he's okay, but they don't

359
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: want to say, well, he.

360
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: Really really, that's our surprise. You took the Bears over

361
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: the Packers in spread swing. I thought you'd picked green

362
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 4: Bay because green Bay owns Chicago.

363
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Remember, going back to a rog.

364
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why you picked him, because just because

365
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: they the Twins lost eighteen postseason games in a row lost.

366
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: I thought you were more of a Jordan love fan

367
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: than they. It's more than just quarterback. Well, I understand that,

368
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: but they're.

369
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: Playing at Chicago Chicago was David Tennant b gave you

370
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: the numbers offensively what they do, that's that's a good

371
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: football team.

372
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's a pick them game.

373
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 3: It is.

374
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: I would take no Jordan. Jordan's very good.

375
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: He's still Zach Zach dak Now, Zach dak Prescott at

376
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: number five, Golf at number six, and Sam Darnold who

377
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: had nightmares last night and couldn't sleep.

378
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: He's ranked as the seventh best quarterback in.

379
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: The National Football League right now as we speak, Herbert

380
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: at eight, Stroud at nine, and Lamar Jackson at ten.

381
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: Well bow Knicks has led Denver to how many wins

382
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 4: in a row? And there he's not even mentioned.

383
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: They got Caleb Williams at eleven. They light the way

384
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Caleb's playing, Sir All right now. Aaron Rodger A Rodge

385
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: at twelve, come on ahead of Knicks. Yes, Burrow at thirteen.

386
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Barrow hasn't been playing.

387
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: He's probably at fourteen, Trev Lawrence at fifteen, Bake Mayfield

388
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: at sixteen, Jalen Hurts at seventeen, bow Knicks at eighteen

389
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: a twelve and two.

390
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Team and he's eighteen. Yep, that's a display.

391
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: He doesn't throw the ball over ten yards, doesn't matter.

392
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 4: He's a leader. He knows how to win in the

393
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. That's what he's been doing time and time again.

394
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: Makes the big throw. I mean, that's if you want

395
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: to gauge, you just on stats at this like these

396
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 4: people are doing or whatever it is. That's fine, but

397
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: you got to look at the results. I mean, it's

398
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: not about well, here's statistics.

399
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 3: Bownicks had one of the best games of his career

400
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: in Denver's win against depleted Green Bay, who lost Michael

401
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: Parsons in the third quarter. Nicks threw for three to

402
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: Zho three four tunnies twenty three at thirty four. Is

403
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: managed the Broncos store at the e FC's top overall seat,

404
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: which comes in the first round by who is I

405
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: don't even know how to say the new orl the

406
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: Saints guy show shot. It's like shuck shotback shucks.

407
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: They've got him higher than our guy. McArthur.

408
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's Dart at twenty young at twenty one,

409
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins hold the Mighty have fallen twenty third, best.

410
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: Quarter past last week, Kobe.

411
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: Brissett at twenty three, cam Ward at twenty four, Marcus

412
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: Mariota at twenty five, and then finally JJ McCarthy at

413
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 3: twenty six.

414
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: It says McCarthy has found some.

415
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: Success throwing six passing tuddies who just won interception against

416
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: two of the NFL's worst defenses in Washington and Dallas

417
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: the last two games. However, he still has a long

418
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: way to go, as he ranks dead last in the

419
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: NFL in completion percentage fifty six point eight, td to

420
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: interception ratio eleven to eleven, and passer rating seventy two

421
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: point one this season among thirty two qualified quarterbacks.

422
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: He's got a ways to go. But the first carter

423
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: make out.

424
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: That list, wondering, I think I think McCarthy's about Rashi

425
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: twenty six.

426
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: No, No, he did me. I like the way you

427
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: go yeah right now. Yeah, that's the proving.

428
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: I know when I asked you about Jordan Love and

429
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: he said, I said green by fans probably like me.

430
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: You go, well right now, In other words, you thought

431
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: Love was going to take a step.

432
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: Back or you hold up, I did not.

433
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 4: Then he's a He's a damn good quarter But would

434
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 4: you rather have Lover MacCarthy right now?

435
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Love? Well, no, just I don't know how to

436
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: starting a franchise today. You can draft either.

437
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: One of them, probably Jordan Love probably probably yeah, no, yeah,

438
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,440

439
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would you would? Okay, Sure, I take McCarthy.

440
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: I don't help say that. He's got that quarterback whisper.

441
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 3: He's only twenty two years old. He's been showing some

442
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: of her. You've turned on McCarthy. He's turned on McCarthy

443
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: ting to be I.

444
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: Said, MacArthur, you're going to say the car and tell

445
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: you to say that.

446
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: She would she have said that to you. We'll take

447
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: our final break.

Speaker 1: I mean, I know we did spread swing. We just

451
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,160

Speaker 3: Including tonight's game between Seattle and the Rams.

Speaker 3: Thirteen fourteen pastime comedies tend to be the legendary Mark

459
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: Rose and hear his last segment of the week. I

460
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: you know, I was thinking back to last week and

461
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: there were a half a dozen really good matchups at

462
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: least I don't know if they all ended up close

463
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: games or whatever the case may be, but I mean

464
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 3: they were games that were two quality teams.

465
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: Matched up against each other that had plenty at stake.

466
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 3: Not as many of those games this week, but maybe

467
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: the most important would be tonight Rams at Seahawks and.

468
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Will last both of you?

469
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: Do you think that the NFC Championship game this upcoming

470
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 3: January will involve one of these two teams? Or do

471
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: you think maybe there's others? I know, San frusis scorcial.

472
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: You you think it would be the Rams? Yep, they

473
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: have to be the favorite right now.

474
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: I'm not discounting what the Eagles are still capable of

475
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 4: I know they've been stubbing their toe here and there,

476
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: and they don't look like they're, you know, the powerhouse

477
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: they were a year ago. But you know that's still

478
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: They're still a tough out. As they say, I don't

479
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 4: you know, the South, I don't think Tampa Can Carolina

480
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: are gonna you know, they're gonna be fun to watch,

481
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: but I don't see either one of those teams doing

482
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: much of the postseason. And it comes back to the

483
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 4: MC North. I mean, which of those teams are gonna well,

484
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: the Bears, the Packers, and potentially the Lions. Which team

485
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: will offer up that kind of a challenge in the

486
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: postseason them?

487
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: And that's the other game Packers that Bears, Yeah, tend

488
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: to be Saturday Night picked.

489
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: The Bears in that in spread swing.

490
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 3: I think with Parsons gone, did they not did they

491
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: also lose a receiver? Didn't they lose they lost a

492
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: couple three players about a three to four minute stretch.

493
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 4: There's always Christian Watson and I think got hurt, but

494
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: I think he came back.

495
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: He's okay. Yeah. I really don't think you can.

496
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: Minimize the effect that not having Michael Parsons. I mean,

497
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: he's that good and he you know, even if he

498
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: doesn't get the sack or doesn't get the pressure, just

499
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: because he attracts so much attention, somebody else generally can

500
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: that certainly is going to affect that team.

501
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: And I do like the Bears. I mean why I

502
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: don't like the.

503
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: Bears meaning I like the Bears like I'm a Bears fan.

504
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 3: I just mean, what Johnson has done with the office

505
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: tend to be nailed it. They rebuilt the middle of

506
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: that offensive line and it is as quality as it gets.

507
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: And their defense is good.

508
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: They've got they have good skill position players, and Williams

509
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: is getting.

510
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: Better as as each week goes by.

511
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that was an awful pass he threw in

512
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: the last play of the game when the Bears are

513
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: trying to tie the game, and he just didn't get

514
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: enough an errander because I was open back there, he

515
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: had some room. But I still like the Bears at

516
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: home in this game.

517
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: I think.

518
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: So there's there's so many different ways this think can go.

519
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: And and your Lions are still lurking, and you can't,

520
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, look at that team and say, well, you know,

521
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: they don't have a chance.

522
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: Of course they do, but well they need some things

523
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: to get out.

524
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

525
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: In what I've been able.

526
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: To to to gather to Garner to figure out is

527
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: they obviously have to go three and oh, and then

528
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: they need the Packers or the Bears to go one

529
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: and two and and and it's it's certainly possible. Let's say,

530
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: for instance, Chicago's playing Green Bay at home, but then

531
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: Chicago has I guess San Francisco, is that right?

532
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: I think they have San Francisco on their schedule. The

533
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: lines the last game and the lines the last game.

534
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: So if the Bears were to lose one of the

535
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: one of the next two, they go one and one.

536
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Let's say in the in the next two games, you know,

537
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: beat the Packers loose to schedule.

538
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah they forty nine ers, right, Packers that at San

539
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: fran and then home Detroit.

540
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: So let's say the.

541
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: Bears split their next two games against Green Band San Francisco.

542
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: If Detroit wins both those, that's tough. I mean, Pittsburgh

543
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: at home, you think they'd win. But play in Minnesota,

544
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: I think the Vikings could beat them.

545
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: But if Detroit goes to.

546
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: And zero and the and the Bears go one and one,

547
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: that last game of the season, will be for the

548
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: last playoff spot between Detroit.

549
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 4: And greens it's at Chicago. Yeah, you know they do it, right,

550
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 4: I mean they do. You want to have those kinds

551
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: of mesa do that well, they always do.

552
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 3: They always have Division Division rifles playing the last week

553
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: at the season. But the way it plays out now,

554
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: same thing with green Bay in their schedule tennebe They've

555
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: got the Ravens next week.

556
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: I think they do, yes.

557
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 3: But that's at Lambeau if I'm not mistaken. But again,

558
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: if they were to lose that at home to Baltimore,

559
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: if they were to lose to Chicago and then it's

560
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 3: Ravens in Minnesota. If if the Lions go three on

561
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: either of those teams go one and two, if I

562
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: if I understand it correctly, Detroit's in.

563
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: So it's possible.

564
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

565
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: I guess is a Lions fan, you're chairing for green

566
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: Bay in this game just because you get Chicago a chance?

567
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely or as you still need help right with green Bay?

568
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: And and I know I will tell you because I've

569
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: watched them of Lions football. I know they're capable of

570
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: winning all three of these games. But they're also capable

571
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: of lose. This just the way they are because offensively,

572
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: they can still put points on the board. Even with

573
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: Laporta gone, some of their offensive players gone, they can

574
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: still put points upon the board. The problem is they

575
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: just can't stop Aye. That's what happened against the Rams.

576
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 3: They could not stop the Rams at all, and then

577
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: they just got out. So they get those high scoring games.

578
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: But I could see them. But that's that's their that's

579
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: their best way in.

580
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: Well, this is why it's so tough.

581
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: You know, you got to you got to have the

582
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: right mindset, you know, from the time you gather in

583
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: the meeting rooms to game day and and then you

584
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 4: have to get just getting into the playoffs, that's all

585
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: we're discussing right now. And then then they got to run,

586
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 4: you know, maybe win three games to get to the

587
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: big game, and you have to go on the road

588
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: in all likelihood. That's why you know, tonight's game between

589
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: the Rams and Seattle is so huge. In San Francisco

590
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 4: is still lurking only a game back with all the

591
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: injuries they've had. So you know, the one thing again,

592
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: we'll talk about it when it comes to fruition, but

593
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay or Carolina will have whatever kind of you know,

594
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: close to a five hundred record, and because the winner

595
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: of that division will get a home game for the

596
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: for the playoffs, and that doesn't guarantee anything, but it's

597
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: certainly not a disadvantage. If you're going to play you know, uh,

598
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 4: a Philadelphia team or something like that, you're rather you

599
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 4: obviously want to play them in Carolina or Tampa, then

600
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 4: you do.

601
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like whoever between the Seattle and the

602
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 2: Rams one of those who was going on the road.

603
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that a division winner. Yeah, that's correct, that's.

604
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: Jaguars Broncos plays correct, Yeah, Jags on top of the

605
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: division only game up on the Texans. Broncos lead the

606
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: Chargers by a couple That's another good game, Broncos Jaguars.

607
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean it should be is on paper because of

608
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: the two teams and the Texans. They won again last week, right,

609
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 3: is that correct?

610
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: That right? Yes?

611
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: So they've won is it six of seven? They started

612
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: out the season six seven. I think they started out the.

613
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: Season zero three.

614
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: I thought their defense is just so good. Yeah, that's

615
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: that's a defense that can get you to the big game.

616
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: There's there's one six in a row, right, nine and five,

617
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: they could still and they're gonna they're gonna romp over

618
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: Las Vegas that was attempted to take them and spreads way.

619
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: They're thirteen and a half when Vegas has mailed it

620
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 4: in as we saw last week and the games in Houston,

621
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: so they'll probably shut them out again. The way that

622
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: defense plays, so that that's a that's that's a that's

623
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: my that's it could be seeing my sleeper team. That's

624
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: a sleeper team to keep an eye on, I think

625
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: in the postseason because that defense, someone's gonna have to

626
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: beat that defense, uh in January, and I ain't gonna

627
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 4: be easy.

628
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: They're they're really fun to watch, and.

629
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: Then you are soon to be big game world champion

630
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings on the road to take on New York

631
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: Football Giants.

632
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, well, I mean it's I think that the

633
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: Vikings are self motivated, you know, in hearing all the

634
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 4: right things from koc and and because of the quarterback situation,

635
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: you can't ignore it that you know you don't want

636
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 4: to see the kid take a step back and that

637
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 4: he needs to just keep improving. That sounds so weird

638
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: to say the fundamentals, but he has to just take

639
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: what he did last week and just improve on it again.

640
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 4: There's plenty of room for improvement. But I think you know,

641
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: the true test and you know, they they should beat

642
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: the Giants, but you know, coming back again, it's too

643
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: highly motivated probably in all likelihood motivated NFC North teams

644
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: at home against the Try on Christmas Day next next

645
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 4: Thursday afternoon, and uh then the Packers. I think we're

646
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: on January fourth. That's that's what you want to see

647
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: with the kid is that throw them in those situations

648
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 4: and so yeah, I think there's enough motivation. I don't

649
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: think the Vikings aren't packing it in like some of

650
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 4: these other teams potentially are.

651
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: They want to win.

652
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: They don't care what draft picks right now, and they

653
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: certainly the players don't. They they're fighting for jobs, and

654
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if it's going to be

655
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: a romp. I think the Giants are pesky enough they

656
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: can make a game of it. But I think the

657
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: Vikings first, oh yeah, well the Vikings aren't. They're losing record,

658
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 4: they're not any good. Well, they're better in their jobs.

659
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 4: I mean they should be, but they you know, it's

660
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: just nice to see what they did it you know

661
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: what they did against Washington, I mean was I guess

662
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: what I'm saying is I don't expect them to win

663
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: thirty to nothing.

664
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: I think I think the difference is going to be

665
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: I think I think maybe statistically they're not, but I

666
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: I think b flows defenses better than whatever.

667
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: The Giants have to offer.

668
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: Was and I just think that the the Giants will

669
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 3: have more trouble scoring. As long as McCarthy doesn't take

670
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: two steps backwards, he should be fine, and they should

671
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: score enough points. I don't think it's going to be

672
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: an artistic game, and I don't think it's going to

673
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: be a wonderful.

674
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: Game, but I would think the Vikings would win.

675
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the text message that says, funny, the Wild

676
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: are the hottest team in the NHL, and you cut

677
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: you can suddenly hear a level of haughtiness in Tennebe's

678
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: tones on the airway. Suddenly Rosie pretends to be familiar

679
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: with the with the with the Wild, Common and Brody

680
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: are suddenly the most authentic personalities on cafe. Huh, Brody

681
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 3: Brody in Common are the most authentic personalities.

682
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: That's the whole station thoughts that includes PA and everybody

683
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 4: guards the the Morning Show. Your thoughts, I have no

684
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: thoughts about that. To respond to that, and I don't

685
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 4: know what he's talking about. Well, especially if you mentioned

686
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 4: Brodie in the same sentence as authentic, that's you kind

687
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: of dismiss that right away. I'm sure he'll be calling in.

688
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: Oh, let's hope not. I should have encouraged him.

689
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. He's probably not even listening. No, I

690
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: don't think he's got nothing else to do. I saw

691
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: another note. I thought that would be of an interest

692
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: to you.

693
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Here it is. This is an MPR story.

694
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: Downtell Minneapolis is struggling when a new Wolves and Links

695
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: arena help. There's some quotes from people that would say

696
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: would like to have a new arena. Alex Rodriguez said

697
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 3: a new arena is what our fans deserve. He said

698
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: that back in Juna June and Arena is an anchor

699
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: to the community.

700
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: Rodriguez is pitching.

701
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: A new arena as a public good for Minneapples, and

702
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: many city leaders seem to be it that way too,

703
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: including Jacob Fry. But I did see in the same

704
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: story that economists J. C. Bradbury of Kennessas State University

705
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: said new sports venues will increase economic activity and ticket

706
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: sales for five to ten years, but most of that

707
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: money goes to the team, not the surrounding neighborhood.

708
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: Bradbury's ready to book about what.

709
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: He calls the false promises of publicly funded stadiums. He

710
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: said fifty years of research shows arenas are bad public investments.

711
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: He says, quote, you can go and you can poll

712
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: economists and they all agree on this. This isn't some

713
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: rogue opinion I have. It's something that's shared by the

714
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: entire discipline. If you ask doctors, is smoking bad, they'll

715
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: universally say yes. If you ask economists our stadiums bad

716
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: public investments, they'll universally say yes.

717
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, I saw, I don't know.

718
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 4: A clip on social media is something that US Bank

719
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 4: is the advantage US Bank has over a lot of stadiums,

720
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: and they compared it with maybe to Kansas City. Is

721
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: that US Bank, like the Metrodome is in a in

722
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 4: a neighborhood so to speak. Now, there's not a lot

723
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 4: of restaurants and stuff around there, but people have they

724
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: take light rail out there. They you know, they have

725
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: they have means to get in and out of that

726
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 4: area and and stay stay in that area. In Kansas City,

727
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: you look at look at that ballparks there when there's

728
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: not a game and they have this all that space

729
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: they have, just it's vacant. How many days a year

730
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 4: three hundred some days a year and compared to other ones.

731
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 4: I think that as long as you can and there's

732
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 4: always every time there's a big event, even like the

733
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: junior hockey tournament coming town, how much money is going

734
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: to pump into the economy. Uh, in Minneapolis and Saint

735
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: Paul with games at Mariucci and Grand Casino and these

736
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: big tournaments, even though a lot of people from Canada

737
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 4: aren't coming in now, but uh, you know, it's still

738
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 4: a nice boost for the economy. But as far as

739
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 4: the Wolves go, and yeah, they they they they're not better.

740
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: Not have their hands out.

741
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they got the money and they want to

742
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: build it toward you know, right by Farmers Market. I

743
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: think is the really about the only location in Minneapolis

744
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: that that's potentially going to work out. I don't know

745
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: what other land they would have that's available in downtown Minneapolis,

746
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 4: So that's a ways away. They haven't even approached any

747
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 4: You haven't had news conferences about have talked about me.

748
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: I just saw in Chicago. I mean I was my.

749
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 4: Buddy Kevin Warren wrote a letter to the Bears fans yesterday.

750
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: They were supposed to go to Arlington Height. They're going

751
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: to build a stadium out there. Well they got they

752
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: got shut down, basically, and it's not going to be

753
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: in the legislators docket next year. So now they're looking

754
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 4: at Northwest and you know they're going to building Gary

755
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: Indiana or something. You know, they might build a stadium

756
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 4: in Indiana so that Indiana will have two football teams.

757
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: But this shows you how it's not a given anymore.

758
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 4: There's been pushback, certainly from the legislators, and with everything

759
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 4: else going on in the world, it's hard to ask

760
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 4: for much of anything anymore when it comes to the

761
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: state for arenas.

762
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: If I remember correctly, your four stadiums and against kids,

763
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 3: and for me, for the longest time was I was

764
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 3: for kids and against stadiums. Right then I was four

765
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: stadiums against kids. Then I was against both. But now

766
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: I'm for both stadiums and kids.

767
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: I think that you know, there's you can have a multipurpose.

768
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 4: I mean, in a perfect world, it would be nice

769
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: if you know, if the Wild and the Wolves could

770
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 4: you know what they do in Madison Square Garden, I

771
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: mean some other cities, you know they could, They could

772
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 4: share the arena. The dates would be filled up all

773
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: the time, basically in the winter sports and through the

774
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 4: spring with the two teams. And certainly it's done. It's

775
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 4: done elsewhere and the football stadium obviously what's going on

776
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles with so far with the Rams and

777
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 4: the Charters sharing it and that that's a perfect example

778
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: of how you get more bang for your buck. I

779
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 4: don't know how the you know, the particular is how

780
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: it all works out and how they divvy all that up.

781
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 4: But that's not going to happen. I mean, the Wolves

782
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 4: are not going to play at Grand Casino Arena.

783
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: Is what is it? Tend to me?

784
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 3: Because you follow hockey fairly closely, maybe you.

785
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: Have an answer to this.

786
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: Is it becoming less? Are our hockey teams and basketball teams?

787
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 3: Are Are they still sharing?

788
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty common? Is it really? Yeah? Okay?

789
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: The problem we should be doing that here frankly, like

790
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 2: it's a waste to have two different, two different buildings, so.

791
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: I can Philadelphia they share the same arena. I don't know.

792
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about like Colorado, does it Okay, l A?

793
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: They do it in l A. Okay, yeah, maybe that

794
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: is the way they should do it. Then you I

795
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: don't know.

796
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously you mentioned Madison Square Garden. There's a lot

797
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: that that don't though. There's still I think a number

798
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 4: that have their own facility. I mean all the money

799
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: for themselves, you know, yeah, I mean where do the

800
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: Kings play. I don't know where they I mean they

801
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 4: don't play where the Clippers play. And he built that

802
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: Balmer built that monstrosity, incredible building out there, and their

803
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 4: team is god awful, but you know he's honore you.

804
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: Have in hockey King's Ducks Sharks. Is that it? Are

805
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: there two l A teams? Well and the Kings did

806
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: they share? No? No, they do not.

807
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 4: They're in different cities. Yeah, they're quite a ways apart.

808
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: The Anaheim is not exactly right next door to LA.

809
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: I thought, I've never I don't go to California. Yeah,

810
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: I know, you don't said Palm Springs that were going

811
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: out there.

812
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 2: We're going out there. They don't I went to a game.

813
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: I went to a Ducks game out there a couple

814
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: of years ago. It felt like a preseason game, did

815
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: it really? Now they're they're doing better this year, so

816
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: maybe they've picked it up, But I mean, it was

817
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: an unbelievably vibe there.

818
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to care.

819
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 4: About hockey and seventy five every day and people are

820
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: at the beach.

821
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: I saw a last thing for you for me. I

822
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: was talking about this with Deuce. I sent him the

823
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: story because he's in a Nebraska grant.

824
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: Right.

825
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 3: If you've seen how well Nebraska basketball is doing under Hoyburg.

826
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: They are now ranked I think either thirteenth or fifteenth

827
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: in the country.

828
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: They are fifteen and oh.

829
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: I think they're one of only five undefeated now they're

830
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: preseason schedule.

831
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: There was there were a lot of cupcakes.

832
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: But they've beaten a couple of ranked teams already, including

833
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 3: they just beat Illinois, and Illinois was ranked I think

834
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: eight or they were, they were in the top twenty,

835
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: and and it's it's it's a good sort at a

836
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 3: lot of quotes from Hoiberg, and you can tell he's

837
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: pretty proud of his program and fifteen and so the

838
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: reason I bring it up is and I guess this

839
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: is what you're hoping Nico Medved can bring to the golfers,

840
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: because I want, you know, I want to you know,

841
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: Nebraska has been even worse basketball where the overall than

842
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: Minnesota ever was.

843
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: Right, Minnesota has had a few glory years, right.

844
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: Marasca has. But Nebraska's doing it on out. Whether it

845
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: lasts or not, I don't know, but right now there's there.

846
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: They're one of the best teams in the Big Ten,

847
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 3: and they're ranked I think, like I said, I think

848
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: there might be fifteenth in the nation right now. Welberg's

849
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: done a nice job there.

850
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 4: He has, and every as we all know, and I

851
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: you know, I heard Pja a little bit today talking

852
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: with the football situation. The business of college sports has

853
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 4: changed so dramatically. I mean, the idea of recruiting somebody

854
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: for a couple of years and having them come to

855
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: your school because the university offers academics that you appeal to,

856
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 4: you say, right, the signing players to contracts to come

857
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 4: back next well.

858
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: And and what Heiberg was saying that they have a

859
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: little more new money now, he said, but when they

860
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: started playing better, he said, we're at rock bottom when

861
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: it comes to meal money anyway.

862
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: Interesting, enjoy your enjoy weekend. Yeah, thank you sir, you've
