22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: New Year's resolutions.

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 2: It was going to be light off to a fast start.

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: I was going to try to be more poise, polished

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: and professional, but apparently I didn't. You know, are you

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: a New Year's resolution kind of a guy? I'm not

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: see I am. I do it all the time. As

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. I spend usually that last week

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: of December sort of kind of think about where I am,

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: where I've been, where I'm going, where I'm at, that

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. And I put down a I

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: suppose six seven different New Year's resolutions. One of them

33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: was not to use kid hit phrases like six seven anymore.

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: But I just did.

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: So I've already broken that resolution.

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: I always love that.

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: But I take a quick check, and not only have

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I broken all my New Year's resolutions I made for

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: this year, but seven of the Ten Commandments as well.

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: You're on vacation. I was on vacation. I don't recall

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: you went somewhere or didn't know.

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Just my kids are off school for two weeks, so

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: spend some time with them. Yeah, and how'd that go? Great? Yeah?

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: A lot a lot of outdoor hockey time. Okay, I

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: went out of town, went to so Cal and played

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: some golf.

47
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where to start today, So why don't

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: we go ahead and spind the wheel at topic?

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: Hold on, you didn't set that up as long as

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: you normally do.

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, Vikings lose seasons over their schedule is out there,

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot, a lot to sift through the rubble.

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: That was the twenty twenty five, twenty six Minnesota Vikings season.

54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Wild continue to win. I think they lost one just

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: the other day, but sure, yeah.

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: It's going to happen every once in a while.

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: Minnesota Gold and governmen's basketball team won a nice game.

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: They won a big ten game, beating Northwestern Minnesota Timberwolves

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: after a terrible loss in which Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: was my favorite quote ever out of the Timberwolves lockerom.

61
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: He goes they played off. He goes, well, I guess

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: that's just Timberwolves basketball, which is what I've been saying forever,

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: and finally somebody with the organization agrees with me. That's

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: just Timberwolves basketball. Always has been, always will be. With

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: all of that, why don't we spind the wheel of topics?

66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: Commons golf game, Oh I did play well on vacation.

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: What'd you shoot today? Eighty eight? Zero?

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Way We played in a place called the Palms, a

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: private course. I know a guy who knows a guy

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: who knows a guy. I was able to put it

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: this way. It wasn't free free free.

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: They didn't.

73
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: When I said I'm the official unofficial ambassador in the

74
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota golf he said, so what? And so I paid

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: full freight and let's just say, well, let's just move

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: on on the cost of the round of golf. But

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I shot an eighty that was ten overs apart seventy

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Where'd you hit it on one? Right up the gut?

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I just start from the I had a hybrid in

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: my hand. I laced it and it just came up

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: a little short right, just just shy the bunker.

82
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: Then what flipped the wedge up? I had no idea.

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: I hit it a little too low.

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: It went fifteen feet by then what two putted for bogie?

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I played really well, you know, considered it was vacation golf.

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I never did shoot anything in the seventies. Played four rounds. Shot,

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I shoot right. I shot eighty seven right out of

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the gate, which was not good. Then they following it

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: when I shot the eighty. Then I shot an eighty two,

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: and then I followed that up with another eighty two.

91
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was fun. We uh, we laughed, we cried.

92
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: Best of times, worst of times. The worst of times

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: was getting back home. We were leaving Saturday. We were

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: in San Diego. We'd been to Palm Springs. We drove

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: down to San Diego for a few days. They had

96
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a great time. I mean, the weather wasn't as good

97
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: as it should be in San Diego. Didn't play golf,

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: and San Diego went to the San Diego Zoo. Have

99
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: you ever been to the San Diego Zoo, Tennaby, I have. Yeah,

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: it's they say it's like I was there. It said

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: as the greatest zoo in the world or one of them.

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: And I guess I don't really have anything to judge

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: it by except como, you know, so I guess it's

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bit more.

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: There's a bit more.

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: To see there than there is that Como Zoo couldn't

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: find the polar bear.

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: He was the only animal we didn't see. He was

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: in hiding.

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, polar bears are very polarizing of animal. Send

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: that to me right and having push it out, And

112
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: then I wrote a joke about the giraffe. Then I

113
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: foundhim Mitch Hebberg did something similar already because I was

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: watching the giraffe and I thought, man, that would I'd

115
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: hate to have a sore throat as a giraffe, right,

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean? And then what I tagged it with was,

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine trying to gargle?

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: He'd probably drown?

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Right?

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: And then.

121
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: More Amsterdam guy sent him that joke, and he's sent back.

122
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: Mitch Hedburg had a joke. I got hate to be

123
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: a giraffe with a sore throat. But he didn't punt,

124
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: he didn't tag it with anything that I'm aware of.

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: And I wasn't stealing Mitch. He's the late Mitch Heedburg.

126
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Every these passed aways. I wasn't stealing this bit. It's

127
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: just amazing how brilliant comment minds think a lot. Speaking

141
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: from Minneapolis to Palm Springs and then Palm Springs.

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Back or San Diego and back.

143
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: We can save pretty good chunk of change if we

144
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: fly American in drive from San Diego back to Palm

145
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Springs and go from Palm Springs to Phoenix and Phoenix

146
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. I'd really rather not do that, but you know,

147
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: saving money, why not. We're on our way to drive

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: back to Palm Springs and all of a sudden we

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: checked flight, canceled, no flight.

00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a fight A fight canceled? Well?

151
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: I had one delayed so much that I couldn't get

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: on it. Okay canceled?

153
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, unbeknownst to us at the time, the reason

154
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: was canceled because there weren't enough air of traffic controllers

155
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: in Palm Springs. FA said, can't do it. We got

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: nobody working for It was a hangover from New Year's

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: is what I think it was. Well, anyway, so we

158
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: want to get back. Potatoes got to work, you know,

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: she's got to work early. Deuce has to work early.

160
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: We checked Delta. They got a flight direct from San

161
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Diego to Minneapolis. It's going to cost a pretty good.

162
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: Chunk of change.

163
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: But then I'm thinking to myself, well, had Douce not

164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: booked the flights, I would have flown direct instead of

165
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: doing you know, on the original flight plan, right, I

166
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: would not have done this checking with American. He was

167
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: looking for the best part, which I appreciate. So I'm thinking, well,

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: a good chunk of that I was going to spend anyways,

169
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Right at first we decided we were gonna try. We

170
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: were thinking, why don't we drive to Phoenix, drive to

171
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: Phoenix to just catch that flight?

172
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: Right, Well, then we check.

173
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: It's like a five hour five hour drive, and it's like,

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that. So

175
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: we ended up booking the other flight and flew back.

176
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: Of course, what I.

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Didn't think of is budget didn't want me to drop

178
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: the car off in San Diego. We called the guy

179
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: in the phone and said, because I checked. I checked

180
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: with a Google with AI. Can you drop off your

181
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: rental car at a different place that you rented it from. Well, yeah,

182
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: but it's going to cost you pretty penny to do it.

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: So I called the guy up. He tells me it's

184
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: it cost me two hundred and sixty dollars to drop

185
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: it in Palm to drop into San Diego other than

186
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Palm Springs. Then I said, how much would you charge

187
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: him if I just leave it here in this parking

188
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: line at the in and out restaurant I'm at and

189
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: pick it up there. I just loved it. He goes, well, sir,

190
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: that's going to cost and he threw out some outrageous numbers, said,

191
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna put you on the on the

192
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: no rental list.

193
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: And I went, oh, no, not that anything but.

194
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: That, I said, With what you're charging me to park

195
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: the car, why would it be two sixty They they've

196
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: got empty parking spots all over at budget, they're everywhere.

197
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: They've got cars that are dropped off at different places

198
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: all the time. Right. Plus when we rented the car originally,

199
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: we get there and they go, sorry, we don't have

200
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the size of car.

201
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: You need.

202
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Do you know how much tetris packing I hae to

203
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: do in that car to get everything in there. It

204
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: was But anyways, what I told him, I said, next time,

205
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I use Enterprise because they'll just pick me up.

206
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: So anyway, but.

207
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Otherwise that was the only snaff. WU didn't melt down.

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: It was okay, rhything's cool. I didn't say not gonna work.

209
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: I didn't call corporate. I just let it slide off

238
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: get to the actual teas, but this one, Timneby says, coming,

239
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: am I being punked that there's no sad Eyes for

240
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the Viking season. I thought it when I first heard it,

241
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing. But I think what you

242
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: were thinking was a I think we did sad Eyes already.

243
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Even if we didn't. The season was over a long

244
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: time ago. It was over five weeks ago, So this

245
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: was just kind of like the icing on the cake. Hey,

246
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: season now officially over, and we'll see you in September.

247
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: We did. We did Sad Eyes, I believe on December first, Yeah,

248
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: when they were basically eliminated from the playoffs. Yes, I

249
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: will say I have kept all of our montages from

250
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: the past year. So if we ever just want to

251
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: randomly go back and listen to old Sad Eyes, Wild

252
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Sad Eyes, Viking Sad Eyes, capriceof signing a contract, the uh,

253
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: nothing's going to stop us now out for the win

254
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: against Chicago in Week one, we can go back and

255
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: just kind of best of twenty twenty five montages. Can

256
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: you load up one right now? No, I'm just kidding,

257
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: but that's a good load up to Sad Eyes if

258
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: you want.

259
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: No, that's okay. I liked that. That's that's pretty good.

260
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Vikings close off the season with US. I think the

261
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: final was sixteen to three. I think, much to the

262
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: chagrin of the fans in attendance at US Bank Stadium.

263
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: They didn't like the fact that Green Bay trotted out

264
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: their field goal kicker. But you know, it's that football thing,

265
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: that sports thing. You don't want to be shut out.

266
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: So and again I get it. It's silly. I think

267
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: they did it and they win.

268
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: So did I hear the pointspread was thirteen and a half,

269
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: so that helped them cover? Really I did not realize.

270
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: See that's why I don't. Oh my gosh, I don't. Well,

271
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: I guess I do. And I think I won some

272
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: money for Mark Rosen.

273
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Apart you you alerted me to the fact that power

274
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: Trip Bets says Common won six bucks from Mark Rosen

275
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: because when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers, I said

276
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: to Mark, I think Pittsburgh'll have a better record Minnesota.

277
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: He scoffed, laughed, mocked, ridiculed me, and took me up

278
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: on my bet. And guess who had a better record

279
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six season. Pittsburgh

280
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: stee As a matter of fact, the Steelers are continuing

281
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: to play with Aaron Rodgers.

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: Can I make a prediction. Yeah, so tomorrow, when Rosen's in,

283
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: you will bring this up to the other six dollars

284
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: and he'll immediately deflect the fact that he won fifty

285
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: dollars off of me. So that's how he'll try to

286
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: sidetrack me, like I know my football basically because I

287
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: won money up of ten.

288
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Right, you know wh I He'll say, well, I lost

289
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: six to two, but that means I won forty four

290
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: from tenna. Yeah, so that's where he'll do it. Vikings

291
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: finished the season at nine and eight.

292
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: We discussed this.

293
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: It's a topic that comes up frequently every National Football

294
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: League season in cities where the local team is not

295
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: going to qualify for postseason play, particularly when it's like two, three, four, six,

296
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: seven weeks before the end of the season. There's the

297
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: idea do we tank, do we passively tank? Do we

298
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: try to win and create building blocks for next season?

299
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: It's obviously the soon to be Big Game World champion

300
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings decided to build for the future. Kevin O'Connell

301
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: made no bones about it. He thought winning games would

302
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: be building blocks for next year. You know, I guess

303
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I sort of kind of disagree. I think that many

304
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: of the players that are with this team right now

305
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: will not be with the team. I think many of

306
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: the players that are with this team right now will

307
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: forget all about last year when next year comes. I

308
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: don't think they'll be in that second or third game

309
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: next season. On a third and twelve for the opposition

310
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: close game, they're going to go, remember how we won

311
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: those five games late in the season last year. I

312
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: just don't think it means anything. I'm not a big

313
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: tanking guy, more of a passive tanking guy. We just go,

314
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: let's just do some vanilla stuff like they do in

315
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: the preseason, right where you just do your vanilla stuff.

316
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: Let's do vanilla stuff.

317
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: Try to play hard, tackle, try to win games, but

318
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: let's not go over the top and I pull out

319
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: all the stops to win games. The Vikings now don't

320
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: have a fourth place schedule. The Lions got the fourth

321
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: place schedule, the Vikings get the third place schedule.

322
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Is that how that works?

323
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Right?

324
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: We got the third place schedule. I mean it's I

325
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: think it's mostly almost the exact same schedule other than

326
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: like two Okay, there's two games that are going to

327
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: be doing I said, okay, so but like the Lions

328
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: get the Cardinals now and we'll get the forty nine ers. Yeah,

329
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: that's a sizeable difference.

330
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: That should be a sizeable difference. That's exactly right. Plus

331
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the Lions will get you know, I actually the Lions

332
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: won yesterday. They tried to give it away to Chicago

333
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: in Chicago tried to steal it from him. I would

334
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: rather it was an entertaining game, I Dukes and I

335
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: would have been just as happy he had Detroit lost

336
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: to get even a better draft pick. But at nine

337
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: and eight, I don't know where they'll draft. I do

338
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: we have the draft order yet.

339
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: I know the vikings are eighteen, so the line's going

340
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: to be right around there.

341
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: So they're probably about the same spot seventeen eighteen, I

342
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: mean I don't. My guess is they would be a

343
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: little bit better because do they do head to head

344
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: on tie breakers for that too.

345
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: If both teams are nine and eight, the lines are

346
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: picking seventeen, we're picking eighteen.

347
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a big difference, no, but still there is

348
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: a difference. Now the storyline has become well, if Devin

349
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Duberne Duberin doesn't return that kick that punt fifty six

350
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: yards or kickoff and set up the Bears for the

351
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: game when you field goal, the vikings are ten and

352
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: seven and there in the playoffs, the game against Green

353
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Bay would have.

354
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: Been got to be kidding me and I.

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: Just I actually laughed out and it's it's it's it's

356
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: the local guys that are doing it. There's a several

357
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: people in local media that are writing this, and I guess.

358
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: But you can play the what if game all you want.

359
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: If the Bears don't collapse in the fourth quarter of

360
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: the first Vikings game, then we're still nine to eight.

361
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: You look at any of the close Viking wins. There

362
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: was the early Detroit one. I don't have the play

363
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: by play in front of me. Could Detroit have stole

364
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: that game from and they lost by three? It's it's

365
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's fools.

366
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: Well, in some of the games the Vikings won, they

367
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: already knew they were eliminated fro the playoffs. That changes

368
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: the pressure.

369
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: So that's another point. So that's two points plus.

370
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: To me.

371
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: Then what you have to say is if we were

372
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: that close with McCarthy wentz and Rosemer imagined, had we

373
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: kept Sam Sam Donald went fourteen and three again, Yeah,

374
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has a first round by Sam Donald was

375
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: put in the exact same situation on Saturday as he

376
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: was last year with the Vikings. Last year with the

377
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Purple he was terrible against Detroit while playing for the Purple.

378
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: He was terrible. He was He was a large reason

379
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: they lost that game. He was a large reason they

380
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: won the game on Saturday. He's not getting as much

381
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: credit because they ran the ball well. The defense just

382
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: completely had they have a great defense. I watch the

383
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: entire game on on the on the flight back. But

384
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was really good. He made throws when he

385
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: had to make throws. We didn't want Sam Donald. We

386
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: thought we could contend without him had we signed Aaron Rodgers.

387
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: You saw how he performed yesterday. You see how good

388
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: Rogers was in the clutch yesterday. Rogers was so good yesterday.

389
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: So my point is, if you want to play the

390
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: game and say, you know it wasn't for Duverney, this

391
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: all would have worked out well if they had, I

392
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: guarantee you Sam Donald or Aaron Rodgers wins another game

393
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: or two A long way, don't they can't you almost

394
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: guarantee that. I know, you can't guarantee it.

395
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: Well, even if you would have gotten in the playoffs,

396
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: they would have gone nowhere. Well, that's they had no chance.

397
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: That's the That's another point too, unless you believe the

398
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: defense was really good. And so there's the there's a

399
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: lot for the Vikings to consider during the off season.

400
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 2: A quarterback position. Probably have to bring McCarthy back. Everybody

401
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: says they should.

402
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: Bring someone back or bring in a veteran quarterback, not

403
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: just to back him up, but maybe push him for

404
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: the starting job. Players look like they'll be retiring, Other

405
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: players will be leaving va I free agency.

406
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: Some players the Vikings aren't going.

407
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: To want to bring back because of lower productivity with

408
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: big contracts. So over the next few weeks and months

409
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: we'll have plenty to get to with the Vikings. Our

410

00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: A couple thirteen fourteen pasted. I'm Colm and he's tennabee.

420
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: I knew this would happened to Tennabee. There are I

421
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: made the statement I think the Vikings would have they

422
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: would have won more games and been a better team

423
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: had they re signed Sam Donald or even signed Aaron Rodgers.

424
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: Again I get pushed back. No, Donald hasn't played well.

425
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: He has less tds and more interceptions than last year.

426
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: His running game is really good with Seattle. Other people

427
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: are saying similar things that with the offensive line the

428
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: Vikings had Donald and Rogers would have got killed as well.

429
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: And you can lie to yourself like that and tell

430
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: yourself because it makes it. It makes the hardly. It

431
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: softens the bow of a season in which you came

432
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: off a fourteen and three season. You reddid your offensive

433
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: and defensive line. You have three hundred million dollars invested

434
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: in the club, and you decided to go with the

435
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: young quarterback. Plus, by the way, had they made the playoffs,

436
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: who would be starting Game one for the for It'd

437
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: be Bros. Because McCarthy's got a hairline traction boy in

438
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: his hand. They made a mistake, you can tell yourself

439
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: they didn't. They should have signed Rogers or Donald.

440
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: They just should have.

441
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: It would in no way, shape or form hindered the

442
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: progress of McCarthy. If you want to play that game,

443
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: look at what Green Bay did. Aaron Rodgers sat for

444
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: three years, Love sat for three years. There are quarterbacks

445
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: that sit behind veteran quarterbacks. Watch and learn Sam Donald?

446
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: What do you think Sam Donald did when he was

447
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: with San Francisco? Do I need to read the quotes again?

448
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: He said everything he learned about being a quarterback that

449
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: allowed him to play like he did last year in

450
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: this year came from watching brock perty watching a I

451
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: go through a shadowing him. It's the same thing Tenn

452
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: has learned radio from common. Okay, that would be a

453
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: bad example because you don't really shadow me. But you

454
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying.

455
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: I just believe that. Again, we won't know. There's no

456
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: way to know, but one part thing on to do

457
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: or anything. By the way the Packers would have set

458
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: their starters yesterday, Well that's another thing. So you can't

459
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: even just be just because they beat the Packers doesn't

460
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: mean they would have had both teams put their normal

461
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: lineups out there.

462
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So yeah, it's it's it's but I

463
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: know what makes it feel better for you? Because look

464
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: at if you're a Viking fan. Even if you weren't

465
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: all in on the McCarthy decision when they made to

466
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: go with him to start the season, you figure.

467
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: You got to be right.

468
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: We're in, you know. It's it's like the same thing

469
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: I do with the kiddies and Dan cambll going for

470
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: it on fourth down all the time. It's what we

471
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: do is I guess I just got to be all in.

472
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't always agree that. I the aggressiveness, and for

473
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: two years it worked brilliantly. I mean, they were doing

474
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: it all that's that was half the reason they had

475
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: records of whether they fourteen and three the year they

476
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: went to the NFC Championship game, in fifteen and two

477
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: last year.

478
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: A large reason as to why they had.

479
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: Those gaudy records is because they went foard on fourth

480
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: down a lot and were very successful because they had

481
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: a great offensive line, a really good off Maybe not

482
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: as good as Phillies, but they had the second or

483
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: third best offensive line of pro football for a couple

484
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: of years. And you see their playmakers they have. I

485
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: would put their playmaking, their wide receivers, tight end, running backs,

486
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: and quarterback up against anybody in the league.

487
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: They might be the deepest in that position.

488
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: They have two excellent running backs, maybe the best running

489
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: back in Pro football, Amon Ross Saint Brown is as

490
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: good as any wide receiver in pro football.

491
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: He just is. And if you don't believe it, that's

492
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: fine too. Jmo. His speed makes him such a weapon.

493
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: When Sam Laporte is healthy, he's as good as it gets.

494
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: And then they got the Raymond guy. That's pretty good.

495
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: He's like our speedy that's a really yeah into slot.

496
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: That's a really good football team. You know, their offensive

497
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: line is just not very good. We're win the division

498
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: next year? Yeah, I would, I would, I would think so.

499
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: And so here's the other thing I would. I will

500
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: say to those you know again, the people that are

501
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: dismissing Donald, So you don't want to give a guy.

502
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: There are two quarterbacks and pro football history that have

503
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: won fourteen regular season games in back to back history,

504
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and old Sam Donald had an r Now

505
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: is it all on Donald? That defense is as good

506
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: as it gets? That Seattle, I know that the numbers said.

507
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going on on a limb to say I

508
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: think they're going to get to the NFC Championship Game.

509
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: But that defense that it wins championships. Cliches are cliches

510
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: for a reason. San Francisco going into that game, for

511
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: the past five weeks had the best most productive offense

512
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: in pro football. They were averaging thirty five points plus

513
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: a game they got held.

514
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: What was their final number? Was it thirteen? Well, they

515
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: only got three points? Thirteen three?

516
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: Was that the final score they scored? Three?

517
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: They looked like a Broseber McCarthy lead offense in that game.

518
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so if you want to say, and again,

519
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: so it's like, don't give don't give Donald any credit

520
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: at all. If you watch the game on Saturday. He

521
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: made a bad thrower too. He almost threw an interception.

522
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: He also made a handful of terrific throws and all

523
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can make.

524
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: But he made them.

525
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: Why this town is so against Sam Darnald they want

526
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: to be against it. Yeah, that's it, That's what it is. Yeah,

527
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: that's like Rosen He'll do that again. Remember he was,

528
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, for now, he was just dismissing Donald and

529
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: his performance, dismissing Rogers and his performance because the Vikings

530
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: decided not to go in that direction.

531
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: So you have to believe in that, you have to

532
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: be all in.

533
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: With the franchise.

534
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: You can still be all in and disagree with decisions

535
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: that were made. And I get it. There's no guarantee.

536
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: Even though I said I would, I guarantee you they

537
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: would have won more games.

538
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: Had Sam Donald they would have won more. Then they

539
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: would have won more than nine.

540
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: They just would have. I'm just telling you they would

541
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: have been saying with Rogers too.

542
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: Not sure they're replicating the fourteen and three from last year,

543
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: but they're winning more than nine.

544
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the way that now again, their defense

545
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: has played very well the past five weeks, but as

546
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: you mentioned, they're playing some pretty bad teams. That's the

547
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: other problem too. That's why this idea that the Vikings

548
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: would have been had the DuVernay h And by the way,

549
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: it wasn't really Duvernate. I think somebody missed a tackle

550
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: and that's a blame I make play. Yeah, blame it

551
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: on the Viking player. Don't don't don't say it was

552
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: Dubernat anyway. Uh, I was gonna say, anyway, yeah, give

553
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: me a thank you. Yeah, here, I can get it again.

554
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Would have been great to keep Donald had the old

555
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: line topic in the same he would have been killed too. No,

556
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: we don't know that for sure. There's no way we

557
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't know that, Sam Donald and and

558
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers both. If you go go back and watch the games,

559
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: if you want, McCarthy hangs onto the ball way too long.

560
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: He's gotten better now. He hung onto the ball way

561
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: too long. Brosmer hung onto the ball, Wentz hung onto

562
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: the ball as well. You got to get rid of

563
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: the ball. So again, if if, if you and I

564
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: still I'm not dismissing the possibility that McCarthy might be

565
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: the guy. He makes really good throws. He made a

566
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: handful of really good throws against green Bay.

567
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: Well, he had a brilliant throw on that one and

568
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: we rolled out to him right it was it was

569
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: hit the the tight ends name, I don't even know

570
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: who that is. Terrific throw. He has a chance to

571
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: be really good. He might be the guy.

572
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: But what's the rush I can go back to you

573
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: go back to a Rodger sat three years and again

574
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: yours and now you're comparing name Rotcher McCarthy and know

575
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm just comparing the situations about about you got to

576
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: start him right away? Do you really didn't look like

577
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: green Bay needed to do that and love again, he's

578
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: not in Rodg level and he's you.

579
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: Know, I don't know where everybody ranks him as far.

580
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten quarterback in the league,

581
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: might even be scratching top five, probably not quite there.

582
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: But that guy can play football. It's like they you

583
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: don't need to play him right away.

584
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: It's ideal if you can, if you have a guy

585
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: that can play immediately, like we saw Jaydon Daniels do,

586
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: like you saw Drake May do.

587
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: Guys that play immediately.

588
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: And look at how good Caleb Williams is now getting

589
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: a different offensive quarter and a better offensive line and

590
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: a better running game. And look what Chicago's doing right

591
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: now now. They I was a bad loss yesterday to

592
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: de Trup, but it didn't hurt him because Green Bay

593
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: lost as well. So Chicago gets the second set and

594
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: they played green Bay right in the first round of

595
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think at Chicago. So and you know,

596
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know Tenby, you know, with McCarthy, you know,

597
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: it's that the difficult part is and I don't think

598
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: you necessarily get an answer in the first year of

599
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: any quarterback whether he's the guy or not. Right you

600
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: certainly didn't with Caleb Williams. You know you kind of wondered,

601
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: I was this guy overrated. I don't know what to

602
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: think of McCarthy.

603
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel.

604
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Better about him for probably played late in the year

605
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: than he did early in the year. I think he's

606
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: got a chance, But I don't know.

607
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: I don't feel great about him.

608
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: No, I don't either.

609
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give up on him. But you know, we're

610
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll be talking about McCarthy all off season,

611
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: let's be honest, but we're already heading into uh make

612
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: or break season for JJ McCarthy next year. Yeah right,

613
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: that rope is nothing gonna last so long here, So

614
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: he better prove it next year or he's going to

615
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: be one of those career backups trying to resurrect his

616
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: career like I Sam Darnald.

617
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: This one says, if we resigned Donald, we don't have

618
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: the defense we had.

619
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: Huh did did that money?

620
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: That that one hundred million dollars that all go to

621
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: defensive players? Which ones those two new guys we signed?

622
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: That worked out pretty well?

623
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: Darnald outperformed his contract, So to act like his contract

624
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: with some big albatross that we just and even if

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: your defense wasn't as good, the upgrade on offense you

626
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: would have had would have more than made up for

627
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: whatever whatever would have gone away from the defense based

628
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: on the money. Yeah, and to your point, the money

629
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: you added on defense didn't do a whole lot.

630
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't.

631
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: I just know that, like maybe you go from a

632
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: nine to an eight on defense, but you would have

633
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: gone from two to a seven on office.

634
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: I would think you would have. Yeah. Absolutely, And it's okay.

635
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the decision has been made. We've made

636
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: our bed.

637
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

638
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: You know when they talk about bringing in a veteran quarterback,

639
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: because that's kind of as I'm reading analysis of the

640
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Vikings talking to people reading some things, the idea is, well,

641
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: you have to bring in a veteran quarterback, maybe not

642
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: even to tutor and back them up, but to actually

643
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: push him as the starting quarterback. Give me a name,

644
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: Give me a couple of names. Who is that guy?

645
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz? I mean, who's going to be available? You

646
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: have to give me some names, because my guess is

647
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: anybody really good that you can count on is not

648
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: going to be available.

649
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be.

650
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then like, let's say, who's the

651
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: who's the guy for Green Bay that the backup that

652
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: didn't play not tune? But the guy that Malik Willis is, Yes,

653
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: played pretty well, right, I don't know. Is he available? Well,

654
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the list of free agent quarterbacks.

655
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: Now, some of these guys are going to restand with

656
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: their teams, they're not going to be available. But in

657
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: terms of who made the most money last year, Daniel Jones,

658
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: we had him, didn't we? Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Marcus Mariota,

659
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Tyrod Taylor, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, your guy,

660
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, Mitch Trubisky, Case Keenum, Trey, Lance, Carson Wentz. Yeah,

661
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: Malik Willis is on there, Gardner minshew a. Right. If

662
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: any of those.

663
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Guys beat McCarthy beat him out for the starting job,

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: then you don't have your franchise.

665
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're bringing in one of those guys,

666
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: probably not necessarily compete with JJ, but just to get

667
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: you better insurance than what you had.

668
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people suggesting you should find somebody

669
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: that could actually compete with them. Some people think that way,

670
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: but I'm with you.

671
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: To me, they're not even go the competition route, okay,

672
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: because I don't think those just those guys exist right

673
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: to me, they got to go big game hunting. See

674
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: if Joe Burrow wants out see it. You know, there's

675
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: some rumblings in Baltimore about Lamar Jackson. You know, I

676
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: don't know what to think of Kyler Murray, but Kyler

677
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: Murray might become available. I guess that would be maybe

678
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: a competition guy Kyler and JJ go competed out, But

679
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: I'd rather maybe go after a Burrow and Lamar if

680
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: it's possible, and it's probably not possible. I'm about to

681
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: say something controversial that's interesting. Phil Rivers is available, be available.

682
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: Well, did you see the way he threw the football?

683
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: It almost he was throwing a shot put. Do you

684
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: notice he kind of would only bring his arm. I

685
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: don't think he could get his arm all the way

686
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: back anymore because he's so old and he's creaky. He'd

687
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: bring it back here and he'd kind of push the

688
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: ball as he threw. But he made he was he

689
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,239
Speaker 1: was pretty sure yard most of the time. I mean

690
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guy you can count on.

691
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's the thing. So I'm limited, mister, I limited.

692
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: You're right, And like I say, if you brought in

693
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: one of those players and said it's a competition, well,

694
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: if one of those names that you just mentioned, other

695
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: than maybe Kyler Murray because he's younger and there's probably

696
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: still some.

697
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: Upside in the Danny.

698
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: Jones, all those other names, if those any of those

699
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: players beat out JJ McCarthy for the starting job, then

700
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's probably not your franchise quarterback because he should

701
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: be able to beat those guys out if he's.

702
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: Going to be your friends, and if he's not your

703
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback, you should be trying to make moves to

704
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: find a franchise quarterback, whether that would be one of

705
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 2: the guys I just mentioned, whether it's drafting a quarterback again,

706
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: and and I'm not and I'm not through with them.

707
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: I feel better about him today than I did when

708
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: the season. Well, when the scene started, he had high hopes. Right, Hey,

709
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: kid's going to be really good, right, you know we're

710
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: going with them, you know, a hashtag faith, as PA says,

711
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: got to trust the process, got to trust what the

712
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: organization things. They are the guys that see him every day,

713
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: they're the guys that drafted him. They're the guys that

714
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: know where he's been, where he's going, where he's at.

715
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: But he was sure other than that fourth quarter against

716
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: the Bears, in a couple of moments here or there,

717
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: he was just terrible. He was literally terrible. And then

718
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: he had moments in these last few games that he's

719
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: played against bad competition teams had had nothing to play

720
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: for either. So I don't know, I.

721
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: It just his play has been more encouraging, less cople

722
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: of weeks. But to your point, he's played against actful defenses.

723
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: So it's really hard to get a full gauge on

724
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: what these last three four to five games means. But

725
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: he's hurt all the time. Was his fourth fifth injury

726
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,479
Speaker 2: now in the last two years.

727
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had to need the combess the ankle, in

728
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: the in the in the in the.

729
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: Hairline. And apparently he's not very bright because with all

730
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: these injuries he's been through and he's playing in a

731
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: meaningless game yesterday and he tries to shoulder a guy

732
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: at the sideline instead of running out of bounce like

733
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: that's just not a very smart move. I know you

734
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 2: can tell me how to. He's a warrior, and he's

735
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: showing you that he's still competing. I don't care. It's

736
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 2: week eighteen and you've been hurt all year, like you

737
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: just Pat Mahomes runs out of bounds there. Josh Allen

738
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 2: runs out of bounds there, like your smart quarterbacks make

739
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 2: smart decisions when it there's a time to take on

740
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: contact and there's a time to run out of bounds.

741
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: That was really stupid, They taunts him after.

742
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: Can I say something about that, though? Tennemy, what I'm

743
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: about to say something that's interesting. He can't help it.

744
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: It's his alter.

745
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 2: He goes that nine came out, Well.

746
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: Nine comes out. He just he's it had been JJ McCarthy,

747
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: he would have went out, But once he puts the

748
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: uniform on and gets steps between the lines, it's not.

749
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: He also made a mistake this year by letting everyone

750
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: know about the nine. Yeah, alter ego.

751
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: If you'll remember, was it Darryl Dawkins who when he

752
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: would slam duncan he.

753
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: Broke the glass.

754
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: He said, it's the chocolate thunder rushing through his There

755
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: was nothing he could do about a genius. It's one

756
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: of the best lines Ever's was chock, the thunder's rushing

757
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: through my body.

758
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: It's nine.

759
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: It's rushing through his body. There's nothing he can do

760
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: about that, someone says.

761
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 2: And then yesterday apparently had a towel on his hand

762
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: on the sideline, as if a towel would to do

763
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: anything for your hand.

764
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: There was also I read somewhere I think it was

765
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: it was one of the fish raps or was the

766
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: athletic It was local, I don't remember who wrote it,

767
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: said that well, he should never pulled himself out of

768
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. I should have kept playing. And I

769
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: don't agree with that. I mean, I don't think there

770
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: are those that say, well, that shows your toughness. But

771
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: again we're going meaningless game. And if he can't grip

772
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: the football, it's a hand injury too. This is kind

773
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: of important for this right hand, and he can't grip

774
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: the football. It's it's like there's no reason for him

775
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: to continue to play. It's he as he said, and

776
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: it's detrimental to team if you're trying to win the game.

777
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: And it's obvious O'Connell wants to win every game, doesn't

778
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: matter if we're in it or out. He wants to win.

779
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: So a guy with a bad hand that can't squeeze

780
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: the football anymore, what do you do?

781
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: Would you come out of the game. I didn't.

782
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's soft because he came

783
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: out of the game with a hairline fraction in his

784
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: hand that swelled up as the game went by. If

785
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: he can't, if you can't squeeze the football and throw it,

786
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: then you can't be a quarterback.

787
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of an important body part playing the quarterback position.

788
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: Rogers had a bad hand, but it was his left

789
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: hand and he throws right hand, and so.

790
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: Rogers was able to continue to play.

791
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: The idea that he didn't do himself, and he favors

792
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: proving to his teammates, said, you'll play through paint. There's

793
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 1: certain So if a guy tears his kneederschniner, it's different

794
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: the hairline fraction. But my points, if a guy should

795
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: he still he's got a bad hand, he does he

796
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: keep going out there and try to play. If you

797
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: can't play, you can't play. I wish him the best.

798
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: I hope he turns. He shows signs.

799
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: Nine, signs nine show signs Tony realize the only reason he.

800
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: Was out there was to make sure Justin Jefferson got

801
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: his thousand yards this year, because it wouldn't have been

802
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't have been a short thing with Max Brozmer.

803
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: He got JJ's thousand yards that came out of the game.

804
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't see the big issue. And any other player

805
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: had a towel on their hand, we wouldn't say nothing.

806
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: But as JJ McCarthy, so it's a big deal. You

807
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: guys are making mountains out of a mole hill. What

808
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: is he talking about. He wasn't in there to get

809
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson in his yards. No, he was there because

810
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: they wanted that. You could say that was part and parcel.

811
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: The reason he was out there is they said they

812
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: wanted one more chance to see how he plays.

813
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: That's what they wanted to see.

814
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't like we're going to start to even though

815
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: your hands backs, we think you have a better chance

816
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: to complete pass the Jefferson's So he gets this thousand yards.

817
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: I know the thousand yards is a nice little.

818
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: Benchmarin right.

819
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: I don't think Jefferson cares that much, at least that's

820
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: what he's told us. All he cares about is winning,

821
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: So I don't think that would have made a big

822
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: deal to Jefferson if he got to his side. I

823
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: think he likes it and it's nice.

824
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, you can tell me his reaction yesterday,

825
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: I think it meant something to him.

826
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: By the way, a thousand yards isn't that big of

827
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: a deal in seventeen game season anymore. Sorry, it just

828
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything that was big in a fourteen game season.

829
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: It's not that big of a deal. Did I hear

830
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 2: today it was his first one hundred yard game since London?

831
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Was it?

832
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: Really?

833
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: That's quite possible. The thing about mcarth that bugs me

834
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: the most is that he advertises his pain. Most players,

835
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: they would go after they are silently off the field,

836
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: talk to the trainers, whatever. Yeah, he seems to be

837
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: a camera hog. I don't think that's what he's doing.

838
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that has anything to do with it.

839
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: But but what do I know?

840
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 2: Then? One last one before we go to break this

841
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: all says.

842
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: Regardless of the offensive line, Darnald Rodgers would have been

843
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: more efficient than nine. They would have ran more plays, completed,

844
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: more passes, converted, more third and four pounds. That means

845
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: the defense wouldn't be defending any plays a game, so

846
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: they'd get better. There are no arguments that can be

847
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: made that going with J. J. Edward Donald Rodgers made

848
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: them better this year. That's that's the How much better

849
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: would they have been with Rodgers or Donald?

850
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they would have been better.

851
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: They just would have been. If you, if you're telling yourself,

852
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have And if you if you want to

853
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: tell me you don't care, you don't think this team

854
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: would have been that much better with with with and

855
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: you'd have to sign Donalds a three year deal, that's

856
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: for sure, wouldn't have been any better. And you want

857
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: you just wanted to see McCarthy getnerverance to You can

858
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: make that argument with me. But but and I can

859
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: say I still would have rather gone with one of

860
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: the other two options for this season and maybe beyond.

861
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: But to suggest that the team would have been in

862
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: the exact same boat with Rogers, I I don't believe that.

863
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: I think they would have made the team better. And

864
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: with what a handful more.

865
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: The vast majority of this that's correct, we'll break, We'll

866
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: come back when we do. Tenne bee five, three four,

867
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: Got you Yeah. The hammer has fallen on some NFL

868
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: head coaches today
