00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Man? That that was really touching. But to what wasn't touching?

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Is you triggering me into drinking three tequila concoctions? So

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: I only got I only got you the first one,

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I know, but you triggered the you triggered the common

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: thread and threese a lot for somebody who who basically

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: doesn't drink. I don't have anything against those who do drink.

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: I just don't really like the taste that much. It

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: was a little tough to get going yesterday, but thank

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: you very much for that. Do you think, by the way,

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel just was fired as head coach of the

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins.

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: Wow, didn't he.

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: Just get like sort of the pseudosoft photo confidence or no?

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Well? I mean, it's so stupid how some people handle

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: things that even like the public and casual fans can

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: figure out. So I don't know the guy's name, but

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: they fired the general manager, and then the feeling from

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Miami was like, Mike McDaniel, the former coach, is going

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: to have a say in in the next general manager, right,

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: and then mc well, you know what, the McDaniel gets

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: fired two days later. But this is interesting that this

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: has happened after John Harbaugh got fired. Yeah, So therefore

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I just think they're they're playing They're playing some form

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: of head coaching related chess. Now McDaniel was the pawn,

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: so he's out. But I think the timing, you know,

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: adds up so that like because mcde people can find

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: it online, they fired the GM kind of empowered McDaniel

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: moving forward. Well, now he gets off, just up with

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh getting fired recently. I mean, this just has

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: to be we want Harbaugh. We're not going to have

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: two head coaches. So this guy's out.

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, they must they must have a good feeling that

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: they can put together a good offer to bring him in,

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Which is so interesting if they if they would really

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: take a look at themselves, the Miami Dolphins, why would

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: they be I mean outside of where they're located in

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: the United States, right, you look at the organization, what

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: would make excuse me, John Harbaugh want to come there

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: when the quarterback situation is so unsettled. Like John Harball

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: is gonna have the pick of the litter. He can

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: he can go to the Giants organization probably if he wants.

61
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: He can have a young quarterback that I don't know

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: if what he thinks of him, but he's got a

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: young team that at least has a quarterback in place

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: right now. Or you go to an organization that has

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: an owner that's I don't know, just doesn't really seem

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: to be one of the best in the league and

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: top tier and seems to always be surrounded by controversy.

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, when he cheats, he gets caught.

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: So I mean that right there, Yeah, you know, I

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: mean they a lot pushed the envelope. He pushes the

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: envelope and like his return to sender and he gets caught.

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you walk into that situation and then you

73
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback either. So, like, I don't know

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: what the Dolphins are thinking. I don't know if they

75
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if they legit feel like they have

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: a shot at John Harball, or they felt empowered by

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: the move that the Ravens made. And it's like, man,

78
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: if they're going to be bold about this, then we

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: can be bold about it too. So maybe that was

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: part of it. Is like, maybe that was just the

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: impetus to be bold. Yeah, yeah, I like the way

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: you lay that out. Now, Brian Flores, according to Draft Kings,

83
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: you know where they make odds onlike which guy is

84
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: going to be the next coach? You know that Flores

85
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: remains the favorite to become the next head coach of

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, there are also are reports

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: popping around now just they just emerge within the last

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: hour to ninety minutes that he's going to interview for

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens head coaching job. What do you think

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: of all that?

91
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: And truly do you think b Flow will be the

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders?

93
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: You know, I do, I really do. I think that's

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: the most likely landing spot. And I think that a

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: lot of things, how that risk suck off that happened.

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: I think about how the stars have to allign line

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: to where Tom Brady and it seems like Tom Brady

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: and b Flow, it seems like from the outside looking in,

99
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: they still have a really good relationship, a very respected

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: relationship with each other. Tom Brady is very much into

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: the guy's hands in all of this stuff. As far

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: as the coaching hire. He wants to bring back b

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Flow to run the defense. And then my assumption is,

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 3: you know, just like the rumors are saying, with Brian

105
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: Dayball to run the offense.

106
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: Right, the thing is, it makes so much.

107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: Sense that they would have their top quarterback come in

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: as a rookie, get taught and learned by Brian Daball

109
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: who they trust, and then he can just have a

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: hands off offense and he can take over the defense.

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: And I think when you add it all up, it's like,

112
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: why wouldn't he do that as long as the compensation

113
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: package was fair, as long as he to do some

114
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's gonna be other some contractual things with

115
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: front office and how he wants to handle some of

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: the scouting and the personnel and all that stuff. I'm

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: sure Tom will get him, give him whatever he wants.

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: He'll talk to Mark Davis and say, this is who

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: I believe in, this is what we're gonna do.

120
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: And I think a.

121
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: Guy like Tom Brady that's giving you that advice, how

122
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: do you not take it and have and hold a

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: lot of weight. So I think the stars aligned, and

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: I think he does end up getting offered that job

125
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: and takes the job.

126
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: It's it's I remember having this conversation after the Vikings

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: lost to the forty nine ers in the playoffs, after

128
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: they beat New Orleans the last time the team won

129
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a playoff game, when we all got back to the

130
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: facility and Kevin Stefanski told me and some others that

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: he's going to become the next head coach of the

132
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, And I was like, Baker though, I mean,

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, I brought up a couple

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: of things. It's like four in the morning, man, and

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: I was super sad that he was leaving. But you

136
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: know it's it's the way he put it was when

137
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: these things are hard to get and when something opens,

138
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: you kind of got to take it. Now. I understand that,

139
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: but I mean, what a tricky situation this could be, man.

140
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean, because you know, when it comes to the

141
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: overused trite word culture with so many different entities, relationships, businesses, teams,

142
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: things like that, it's just over you so that it

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: becomes trite. But the culture within Twin City's Orthopedics Performance

144
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Center has been strong. When they've done well, they've handled

145
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: it with a plumb and mostly with humility. When things

146
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: have gone pair shaped, you know, you'll get some things

147
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: behind the scenes where people get snippy and stuff like that,

148
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: but you know, it's not like some of these previous

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: regimes with whom I worked, where you know, people knowing

150
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: like you've got a radio show without saying it, how

151
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: am I supposed to win? With this guy playing here,

152
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: how's this supposed to happen? I was supposed to do

153
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: well with this Like that never happens. Maybe it does

154
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: with you. With me, it doesn't with the behind the

155
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: scenes top and I have a high level of appreciation

156
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: for that. It really plays into enjoying the job now

157
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: is as much as I do. With that said that

158
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: culture is good. The word is not trite here. How

159
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: does one have good culture in Las Vegas?

160
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Matter?

161
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: It just it just inherently because of the city, the distractions,

162
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 1: the owner. The owner's goofy, you know, but he's cocked sure,

163
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: and he's not afraid to do anything. Thus the day

164
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: of his last name. But I mean, if you got

165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady hovering over you with every single decision and everything,

166
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: and he's got he's goat cred and he's Tom Brady

167
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: and he wants to win, super competitive, it just seems

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: like too many chefs in the kitchen and like like

169
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: it just would be difficult to exist and do your

170
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: job well.

171
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: To overanalyze the situation too, is the thing that I

172
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: would be worried about and cautious about if I'm I'm

173
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: a Raiders fan. Is is the patriot way going to

174
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: work with this generation and thing go.

175
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: We saw it.

176
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: We saw the last time that Josh McDaniels took over

177
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: the Raiders and he wanted to bring his Patriot way

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: and it didn't work.

179
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: And so you know, just because.

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: You had success ten fifteen years ago, does that mean

181
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: bringing the band back together with this generation of players

182
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: is the way to go? And then they have the

183
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: ultimate decision of the number one pick and do you

184
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: gonna are you gonna go with Dante More out of

185
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: Oregon or are you gonna go.

186
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: With the kid out of Indiana?

187
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: Like, I think there's two polarizing decisions to make there

188
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: because there's two different styles of play and two different

189
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: types of personality. Yeah, you know, I'm sure that you know,

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: b Flow may want you know, Brian Daball may want

191
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: like a more dynamic quarterback, and Tom wants a more

192
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: cerebral quarterback. And then you're gonna mash that all into

193
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: this Patriot way, don't I don't know. I would that

194
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: would raise a little bit of red flags to me

195
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: because that does not seem to be the way great

196
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: the winning cultures are being established in this younger generation

197
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: of football players.

198
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I absolutely agree with you, and it plays into

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the word culture. So we'll see what happens there with

200
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: the will be flow by the way it will. Lastly,

201
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: if Flores does leave, all right, what do they do?

202
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like so much B flow Vegas now beflow,

203
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore now B flow, the B flow lateral move to

204
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: like Dallas. Now that's I've never been into that. All

205
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: that didn't make sense to me at all at all.

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: But like, if he does leave, man, what do you do? Well,

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know the support staff that he has there.

208
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: I think that you do whatever you can to find to.

209
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: Locate the best person internally, protect him from being as

210
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: long as long as that that person or persons are

211
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: motivated to stay here and not be elevated under B

212
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: flow system, keep that person here and hopefully just kind

213
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: of run it back with the same scheme. I don't

214
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: because I think this team is so close to being

215
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: to push into the playoffs next year that I don't

216
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: know if a total rebrand of the defense is the

217
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: way to go. It's really really hard to change offense

218
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 3: and defensive systems and expect to hit the ground and

219
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: be as productive as what beflow has put together the

220
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: last two years. So trying to find somebody that you

221
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: think has the same mentality, the same thought process, the

222
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: same coaching style. You know, maybe has their own spin

223
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 3: on how often you blitz and whatever, but keep the

224
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: system in place with the players that you have because

225
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: you have a good thing going. I I hope and

226
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: I know that that person probably exists. I just don't

227
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: want to throw names out there, because we don't.

228
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: If you throw one out then inside linebackers guy guys

229
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: like me.

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Right, there's there's no sense in that.

231
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: I just know that there's He's obviously built a very

232
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: talented coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball.

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: So if you can retain one or two or as

234
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 3: many as you can to stay on said staff and

235
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: keep the same scheme, that's what you do going forward.

236
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: The Elite Elite chap by the way, with the hip

237
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Man following the Green Day win, we played it back

238
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: Monday nine to noon about as good as you'll hear.

239
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: You can find it via podcast of a nine to

240
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: noon Monday. About middle of the show. I think I

241
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: sent you respect Harrison Smith as much as any player

242
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: you have covered or maybe even played with.

243
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Yeah, for sure. What leads to that the

244
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: longevity and you know everything. I think the longevity, and

245
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: I think I everybody. I think a lot of a

246
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: lot of us in the football circles.

247
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: We admire and appreciate the guys that approach the game

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 3: and what we think is the right way. It's not

249
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: always the right way, but there's a lot of ways

250
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: to be successful. Some guys are very loud about it,

251
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: and some guys are very you know, braggadocious about it,

252
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: and some guys you know, really put their business out there.

253
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: That's fine.

254
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: As long as you can produce on the field, I

255
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: guess you know, it's your cup of tea. I've always

256
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 3: just appreciated the way that he is a He is

257
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 3: a head down, get to work, that proverbial, lunch pale

258
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: type of guy, and I think that there's a lot

259
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: of merit to that. I think it's I think it's

260
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: harder and harder to find guys like that. And I

261
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: think that he's been the same guy throughout his whole career.

262
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: He came in as a rookie, which I didn't know

263
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 3: him as a rookie per se, but got to know

264
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: him early in his career and you saw this hungry, young, determined,

265
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: committed player that but I think really early on probably

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: you know, had to prove a lot of doubters wrong.

267
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if a lot of people

268
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: saw him with the same eye that the Vikings saw

269
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: him when they drafted him to be the starting safety.

270
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: And I think that there was a little too, that

271
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: little probably a little personal chip on his shoulder that right,

272
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: you know, I can I can be this white safety

273
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: from Notre Dame that can come in here and be

274
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: this commanding force in the middle of the field. And

275
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's also had to adapt his play style.

276
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: You know, he's got the nickname the hit man because

277
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: of what he did in the league early on. But

278
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: you know, that style of play is getting pushed out yeap,

279
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 3: you know, and he's had to really you know, we

280
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: saw it with the Terrence Newmans of the world. You know,

281
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 3: I've seen it, you know, personally with you know, the

282
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: guys like Brian Urlocker, where yeah, they might be missing

283
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: a step, but there's still every bit is important on

284
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: the field because of what they can do from a

285
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: mental and a cerebral standpoint. Like Patrick Peterson of late

286
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson of L. I mean a lot of older

287
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: guys that extend their careers beyond you know that they

288
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: might get to years, you know, the last three or

289
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: four years of their career, may not physically be able

290
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: to go out there and be the fastest and the

291
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: strongest and the quickest, but man, do they play smart football.

292
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: And I just think the evolution of what he's been

293
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: able to do to continue to play at a high

294
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: level and to continue to be humble throughout this whole journey,

295
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: I think is remarkable and it's something that we should

296
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: continue to applaud.

297
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: And it's the same the same thing that we can

298
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: be said about C. J.

299
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Ham.

300
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: I think that was like it was it was so

301
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: fitting to have two guys that we think, you know,

302
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: played their last game of football on the field, or

303
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: at least in a purple uniform kind of go out

304
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: in style because there's too kind of cut from the

305
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: same cloth.

306
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was it was special to see that

307
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: and to amplify it. Not that it matters much, but

308
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: it's like you said, Ham and Harry would absolutely be

309
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: a couple of Jim clein saucer type guys. Yeah, And

310
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: on that day, Jim Klein saucer that was at US

311
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium.

312
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was just it was it was perfect.

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Ben Leber at Nacho liber Via X Twin Cities Live

314
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Today three to four thirty on Channel five, and we

315
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: thanked Children's Cancer Research Fund for the sponsorship the McCarthy

316
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: play leave, play leave, play leave it it It worked

317
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: on you a little bit at the end of the season,

318
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: didn't it It did?

319
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: Why?

320
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: You know, I think for all those same things that

321
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: I said up about Harrison Smith, I wish I could

322
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: be as declarative and committed to that same sentiment about.

323
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Our quarterback without saying there won't be a day you

324
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: can right, Yeah, exactly.

325
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: And that's that's the thing with with all. This is

326
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: the caveat with all this is like I understand these

327
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: very young you know, he is young. There's a tremendous

328
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: amount of weight and responsibility on his shoulders, and you

329
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: know he has been told from so many people, especially

330
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: the people within, like we got to fix this mechanically,

331
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: We got to do things this way. We got to like,

332
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, you come to this realization that everything that

333
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: got you to this point to be a first yound

334
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: draft pick is now being called into question, and you

335
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: have to figure that out in real time while also

336
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: leading a team trying to get out there every Sunday

337
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: to be successful and be productive and to prove that

338
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: you're the guy going forward. That's a lot, man. I

339
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: that a lot of respect for the way he's handled that.

340
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: I do have some hesitation about how he's handled some

341
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: of the physical demands of playing the position. And I

342
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: don't claim to know. I certainly do not know all

343
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: the ins and outs and all the details about what happened.

344
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: But if I'm a player and I'm putting myself in

345
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: his position, now, let me just try to look at

346
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: it through his lens of his own eyes. If I

347
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: feel the public questioning whether I can be accountable to

348
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: be available for every Sunday injury wise, I would try

349
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: to flip that narrative just as much as I want

350
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: to flip the narrative of can I fix my mechanics?

351
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: Can I stop following through so far with my back foot?

352
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: Can I become more accurate? Can I learn how to

353
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: layer of football? I? Can I work on all of

354
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: those things? If you understand that you have to fix that,

355
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: then I think that he has enough self awareness to

356
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: understand that people are questioning whether or not he is

357
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: injury prone. And if I was feeling that weight as well,

358
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: I would do everything that I could to prove now

359
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 3: whether it's right or wrong, to break the perception that

360
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm not injury prone. And you know, the self reporting

361
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: of the concussion, I was like, you know, if I personally,

362
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: I would would and would not have done that.

363
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: From Green Bay. You're coming off a historically.

364
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: Bad football game statistically, right, people are really really questioning

365
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: whether and you don't have to hear what the people

366
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: are saying to know that that was a really, really

367
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: bad football performance by him, and in which he played

368
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: all sixty minutes. Again, I played in a different era.

369
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: I know that these kids I see in my own

370
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 3: youth leagues.

371
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: I see that these.

372
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: Kids, the second they get a headache, something feels off.

373
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: Sir the coach, I think I have a concussion. Really okay,

374
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 3: all right, Laurent, little Johnny, Let's go over the sideline.

375
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Let's do the protocol. Right, So I get how these

376
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: guys are raised these days. Unless I'm on the floor puking,

377
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: and I can't I can't focus on anything, and my

378
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: eyes are super sensitive I would just bury that thing

379
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: and be like, you know what, I may have a headache,

380
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: I may be a little dizzy, but man, I gotta

381
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: let's see what tomorrow brings.

382
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: Right, Let's see what the next day brings. Let's see

383
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: how I can. I can get through this.

384
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: I personally would not have self reported a concussion because

385
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: you know that you know that you're automatically going to

386
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: be deemed out for the next week. And again, I

387
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: don't know everything about orthopedics. I certainly don't, but I've

388
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: suffered my fair share of injuries, and I've been around

389
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: a lot of injuries. From the way I understand, the

390
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: hand issue was a pain tolerance issue. It wasn't It

391
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 3: wasn't a matter of function. It wasn't a turf toe

392
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: situation or a sprained a torn thumb ligament where you

393
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: physically can hold a football, you can't spin the football.

394
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 3: When it comes down to the NFL locker room, when

395
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: the trainers and people tell you it's a pain tolerance thing,

396
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: that is an internal gut check to you as a player,

397
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: that is, this is my opportunity to play through this,

398
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: to earn a little grit and respect for my teammates,

399
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: because they know I'm going out there battling. They know

400
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: that I'm playing through pain, and that means something that

401
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: means so much. It should mean so much to players

402
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 3: that you are going to be in the trenches battling

403
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: with people, and to pull yourself out of a football

404
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: game in which the trainers didn't pull you off, the

405
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: head coach didn't pull you off, you didn't throw five

406
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: ducks down the field, and everybody's like, what the hell

407
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: is going on? And then we find out in between series, yeah, dude,

408
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: this hand thing has gotten worse. Okay, cool, But again,

409
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: to self report and come off of the field optically,

410
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: I keep using that word, but like visually and optically,

411
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: I think it just sends the wrong message. And so

412
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: that's where, you know, if I want to contrast that

413
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: to my feelings about how Harrison approached the game and CJ.

414
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: Ham approached this game and a lot of other.

415
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: Guys approach the game, I think he's got a lot

416
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 3: of growth in that area to do, and I think

417
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: that again, he can get there, and these are all

418
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: learning moments, and I'm still super highly optimistic about what

419
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: he can do on the field as far as being

420
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: a franchise quarterback.

421
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: All of that is still in play.

422
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: Like, there's a lot of things I love about his

423
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: style of play, and I think that it is going

424
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: to get better that part of it, That other part

425
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: of it I think has some room to grow.

426
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: At eleven o'clock, we have our daily Vikings take of

427
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,160

00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: too far down the road, tell me what you think

440
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: of this if, like for JJ McCarthy, if you're putting

441
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: together or assembling off season assignments, off season, homework assignments

442
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 4: off season.

443
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of things.

444
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: Then they get back to OTAs and start working on

445
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: you get the hands on type stuff, or the on

446
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: the field type stuff, or the study stuff with your

447
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: teammates and coaches. All right, I'm saying before that, I

448
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know what they call them anymore. Like you know,

449
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: when you play, it's still referred to as watching film,

450
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: even though none of it's film. It's all digital. And

451
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: do they still call them cut ups like cutups or reels?

452
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, if.

453
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: You call them cutups, cut up, Okay, yeah, I'm going

454
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: to watch the third and ten cut up.

455
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 2: There we go. Perfect.

456
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: So I've also heard them referred to as as preparing

457
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: reels r ee ls. Well, with the cutups or the reels,

458
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: I would assemble something, And you know I'm not I'm

459
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: not trying to be done Corey L here. I'm not

460
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: trying to like channel my inner North Turner and pretend

461
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: like I'm a multiple time Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator.

462
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: I just thought of this last night when I was

463
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: watching the final edition of HBO's in season Hard Knocks,

464
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: and I was a show and a half behind. I

465
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: really like it, and you know, they're focusing on the

466
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: NFC East, so you know, I got to see Jackson

467
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Dart and here coaches talk about him and stuff like that,

468
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: and they showed some of our game and then the

469
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: victory against the Raiders, and it just my man's had

470
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: at least five concussions this year. Yeah, in his rookie year.

471
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: So I'm watching it and I'm like, Wow, he's so

472
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: irresponsible with the way he runs and when he slides.

473
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: So then I went down the rabbit hole for about

474
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of pulling up some McCarthy runs during the year. Well,

475
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: I mean, and you said it perfectly on the microphone

476
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: from the sideline and the season finale, I can see

477
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: it both with JJ McCarthy. You're a dog bro for

478
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: trucking a starting corner who's a tough guy. Keishawn Nixon

479
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: K nine guy talks more trash than anybody in the league.

480
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: Probably talks him there sucking McCarthy into the unneeded, unsportsman

481
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: like condom. But he also trucked him, and he also

482
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: went into him and knocked him backwards, and Keishawn was, hey,

483
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: whoa hey, Where'd that come from, kiddo? So there is

484
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: that side of him. So Natchio paraphrasing is kind of like, yeah,

485
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't like it because of the fifteen yard un

486
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: sportsman alike, but yeah I love it because of the

487
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: trucking part of it, kind of drawing the line in

488
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: the sand. You know, I've had my problems. I want

489
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: to let you know I'm here and I'm not going anywhere.

490
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: So go ahead and doubt me, because that's going to

491
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: happen again starting next year. So two sides of that.

492
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: So now thinking of that, watching when he slides, you know,

493
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: when he runs, I don't think he slides at the

494
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: right time. I mean I so and so what the

495
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: talker is going to be is putting together cutups of

496
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: these guys, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Jackson Dart,

497
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray. Okay, and with Brady, yeah he never ran,

498
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: but you know what, he never took hits ever ever, ever,

499
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: because discretion was the better part of valor with him.

500
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm gonna it's the cliche, and I'm gonna

501
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: live to play another down. Old people don't like to

502
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: get hit, so he would throw it away if it's

503
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: gonna make it third and twelve. I'm gonna do that

504
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna get you on the next play before

505
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: you hit me. So that's the Brady part, the art

506
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: of throwing it away early and not panicking and recognizing

507
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: there's another down or another series. Mahomes, Mahomes and Hurts

508
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: are our throwers first.

509
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: Runner second.

510
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy will be or is a thrower first, a runner second, correct, Okay,

511
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: but it can be a lethal weapon. JJ McCarthy likewise

512
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: for Jalen likewise for Patrick. Patrick, Mahomes and Jalen Hurts

513
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: are so freaking good at sliding before the guy leaves

514
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: his feet to hit him and obviously running out of bounds.

515
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: Hurts is unbelievable at this where I need twelve. I

516
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: gotta slide at eight because I want to play the

517
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: next nine games. And McCarthy, I just think slide's too late,

518
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: and he takes hits when he's sliding, but there are

519
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: no flags because both guys left at the same time.

520
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: And then you get to Darton Murray they're irresponsible and

521
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Kyler misses games. He's slide a frame and you know

522
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: he will take these hits before sliding or going out

523
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: of bounds. Then then he misses time darts had five

524
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: concussions this year because he's irresponsible. So somewhere between the

525
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: irresponsible nature of those two and the hof you know,

526
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the cutups with Mahomes and Hurts and

527
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Captain Cole, somewhere in the middle, they're are

528
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: cutups to be watched by JJ McCarthy ad nauseum a lot.

529
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Watch what Brady does when he throws it early for

530
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: getting a hit. Watch when these guys slide, Watch why

531
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: these guys run out of bounds, and then go on and.

532
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: Look at their stats if you want to get to

533
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. See what I'm saying.

534
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll even take that a step further, is

535
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: that I think there could be an area where you

536
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: come up with some cutups or reels of him in

537
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: the pocket. And because I think that you can make

538
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: the argument that some of his mechanics that he needs

539
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: to work on would eliminate some of these extra hits

540
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: in some of the extra tip balls and some of

541
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: the throwing and then hitting your finger on the top

542
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: of a helmet.

543
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: Because if he was able to just.

544
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: Slide step into a throw, or subtly shift his weight

545
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: from back foot to front foot without having to climb

546
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: in the pocket. Because sometimes when he climbs in the

547
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: pocket to generate the force and the momentum to get

548
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: the ball down the field, he's closing that gap that

549
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: the offensive line had created. So I think there's a

550
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: lot of that stuff in there. I agree with you

551
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: that you know, learning how to slide, learn how to

552
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: take care of your body. But I think almost more importantly,

553
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: it's like you need to learn the nuances of how

554
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: to manage the pocket and not self impose and self

555
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: inflict damage on yourself by climbing too fast or covering

556
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: too much ground.

557
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: But he does a he has a gift in the

558
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: pocket that in all the years I've called these games,

559
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: I can't say. Maybe case Keenum did it a little bit.

560
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Like his ability to duck at the elusiveness is awesome,

561
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I mean, he had a play on Sunday

562
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: where he ducked in a and aluted a guy. I like,

563
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: now that's elite, Like we need to keep more of that.

564
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: That's why you know, I am still optimistic on what

565
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: he can be in this league. I can't promise you,

566
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I can't cast at what year it's gonna happen. But

567
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of really natural innate feel to

568
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: the game and a lot of natural innate.

569
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: You know, we over use this word, but he does

570
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: have that dog in him. I just wish per the

571
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: last conversation that we had, I wish that dog was

572
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, a little tough when it comes to

573
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: the physical stuff, but you know when he when he

574
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: scrambles and he's not afraid and he throws a stiff

575
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: arm and then he's going out of bounds and lowers

576
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: his shoulder like I like that because you can't coach

577
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: that now.

578
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: Can he better take care of himself? Yes? Absolutely, I

579
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: agree with you.

580
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: But I think that other players pick up on that

581
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: and say, like, man, this guy's a this guy's a

582
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: tough quarterback.

583
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Right look at Carson Wentz. Yeah, you know, like, oh wow,

584
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: that's a great look. Carson so much bigger and thicker

585
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: than JJ. Yeah.

586
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: And and I think everybody, all Vikings fans applaud him

587
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: as this warrior coming off the field when he is

588
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: known to have a shoulder issue, but when he's scrambling.

589
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: He's not thinking about that. Yeah, like he might have been.

590
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: But the courage it takes to put that to the

591
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: back of your mind and then still try to run

592
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: over somebody. Very rarely we see Carson went slide feet first, right,

593
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: even when he was injured, he was going head first

594
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: to pick up extra yards. You're right, and I would

595
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: you know, I think a lot of coaches would be

596
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure kaos He's like, dude, come on, like you're

597
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: a backup. We don't need to go to our our

598
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: third guy because you got to take care of yourself.

599
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you right now, the amount of respect

600
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: and appreciation that he gained from the guys in the

601
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: locker room, yeah, is immeasurable.

602
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

603
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: I think that that's that's part of legacy that you

604
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: start building those moments where where guys walk away from

605
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: the game in twenty twenty years from now you're like, man,

606
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: you're a tough son of a tough son of a

607
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: bitch and I appreciate that.

608

622
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: We got to go quickly here too. Carson is the

623
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: veteran backup. What do you think as far as him

624
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: coming back next year? Yeah, you know, the thing is

625
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't hate it. Yeah, I'm fine with It's

626
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: like we're talking about all these names and everything, and

627
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: then I'm like, well, actually Carson was pretty good.

628
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: I know, I liked I mean, give him another year

629
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: in the system where he gets a little more comfortable

630
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: and an off season. In an offseason, like, I think

631
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: that he is the right type of backup in the

632
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: right mental states to like be a good mentor for

633
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy.

634
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've thrown any non Vikings

635
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: names out with the wildly successful, vastly popular Power Trip,

636
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: But like one name that I haven't thrown out that

637
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: intrigues me for a veteran backup, Marcus Mariota. I in

638
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: studying him up to the Vikings Washington game, in watching him,

639
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: and part of it's in this hard knocks thing I've

640
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: seen only cow.

641
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Mariota's younger than I thought.

642
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: He missed a couple of seasons, so he doesn't have

643
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: as much tread off the tire as I thought for

644
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: a guy his age, and he's got some dog to him.

645
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota is a tough sucker man.

646
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, soft spoken, but I think he's got some dog

647
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: to him too.

648
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: So that one's a little bit on my radar. Give

649
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: me your best fifteen seconds on each of these with

650
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: a why. Green Bay at Chicago, who wins A why?

651
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: I go back and forth on this one. I think

652
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I think they can. I think they can go in

653
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: there and handle business. But there's something a little bit

654
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: magical about the Chicago team. So I'm gonna take Chicago home.

655
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: Rams at Panthers, I think Rams will run away with

656
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: this one.

657
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: Do you really? Yeah, there's such it.

658
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because they didn't have DeVante for a while,

659
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: such a slow starting bid and messing around with every game.

660
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Then we come and get you at the wire. I

661
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: like the Panthers in the first half of this game

662
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: quite a bit, but the Rams to win Bills at Jags.

663
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: Bills at Jags.

664
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: I think the Jags are a very sneaky good team

665
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 3: from a three phase standpoint. I think they surprised a

666
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: lot of people in as much as this one everybody

667
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: wants us to be Josh Allen's year, I don't think

668
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: they got it.

669
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 2: I think Jags win this one.

670
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: Ole Miss and the Canes tonight for Poopy Dave and

671
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: John o'jampa. Who's listening right now.

672
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, the strength of Miami is the run game against

673
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: ole Miss's porous run defense. But the thing is like

674
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 3: against Trinidad Chambliss in this passing offense, in the way

675
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: that Chambliss can run around. I think that they'll stick

676
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: with them in the first half, but I think all

677
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: Miss pulls away in the second.

678
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: Is Shambali's the bomb? I'd like seeing his name so

679
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: much later.

680
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's such a great creator and because he's like

681
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: he's the second leading rusher on their team. I mean,

682
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 3: because he has that dual threat ability and he's got

683
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: a big arm. Like they they can hit you from

684
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 3: a lot of different angles and they just don't stop.

685
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: They're unrelenting. They can put up a lot of points. Again,

686
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 3: I think this game is closer in the first half

687
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: just because of the balance that Miami can have. Yeah,

688
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: but I think if if there's a few explosive plays

689
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: by Ole Miss, it's gonna be hard for Miami to

690
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: come back.

691
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: I haven't followed the games closely since Frank Gore was

692
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: a tailback. What fuels them? Like, Miami got good again?

693
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I like, like, what makes them good? Crystal Ball their

694
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: head coach, and all their games are low scoring. Yeah,

695
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: it's crystal Ball their head coach.

696
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that he comes in with the

697
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 3: right mentality, you know, coming coming back to Miami and

698
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: you know, he's got a lot of love there. And

699
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 3: I think I think the organization the team feels that

700
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: and they are physical in the trenches and that's the thing.

701
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 3: They can run the football and I think Carson Beck

702
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: does just enough. I don't think he's the most dynamic quarterback,

703
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: but they give him more stability and not throwing the

704
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 3: games away that they can find more balance on offense.

705
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: And then again they win with their defense.

706
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 3: And that's just like typical of what the personality from

707
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 3: their head coach. So yeah, it's a lot of low

708
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: scoring games because they're not highly explosive offensively and it's

709
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: so hard to score points against their defense.

710
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: But I think this is a different beast with Ole Miss.

711
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: Ben Leber, the bomb at Nacho Leber via X and

712
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,399

Speaker 1: Nordo and Paul Charchian returning to the Feast. But first

742
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: we have Brett's bits and Brett's Bett or Beth's Za.

743
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: And in the summer, when Brett and I had the.

744
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: Opportunity to work with each other quite a bit, I

745
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: just came up with this on the fly, put a

746
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: bet together's let's see if you're hot. I don't know

747
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: if you bet or not. I don't know if you

748
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: get lines or not. But just find something you like

749
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: and share it on the radio. Well, my man one

750
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: is first five or six, and then I think we

751
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: took two consecutive l's and then we moved on into

752
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: the fall. But the Brett's bet slash betza bit. What

753
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: I like about the way you do it is you

754
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: recognize it's your your You don't overthink it with a

755
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: lack of confidence, wondering if I put a if I

756
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: say I like the Timberwolves minus four tonight and they

757
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: get beat by forty, or you're gonna feel like an

758
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: idiot and like it like runs you down, you know.

759
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: So that's part of the reason why I ask you

760
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: to do this, because of your lase fair approach to

761
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: it that seems to be working. That'll be at the

762
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,040

Speaker 4: Chris Hockey from this morning, but I'm gonna use it

768

00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: or the best place to go that meshes cool place

776
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: to live and also relatively distraction free.

777
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 2: For the football team?

778
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: Yes?

779
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 4: Tall, Okay, Hey geez okay, well, because I mean Vegas

780
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: is there.

781
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: South Beach and Vegas are going to have to be

782
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: out now. I'd like to live in both of them.

783
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: I just don't really know if culture can get to

784
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: a ten of ten in those two markets because of

785
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: the distractions. I don't want to live in Cleveland. I

786
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: know you love Arizona. You go there in golf and

787
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: your cousin's the coach of the college hockey team. Yeah,

788
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: we got the Giants.

789
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: I like them. I like New York City. I like

790
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 2: big cities. What were the other options? CC? So Nashville.

791
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a Nashville guy, Baltimore. I'm from Washington, d C.

792
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: So that that wouldn't be bad. You know what it's

793
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: for me?

794
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: Man?

795
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: So what's that heat in Arizona like in the summer?

796
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: If you like live there, is it unbelievable? I'm told

797
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty brutal.

798
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I mean, you can just it's essentially you

799
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 4: stay inside for a couple months.

800
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: Allah we do in January and February.

801
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say either the New York Giants or

802
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. It'd be one of those two for me.

803
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: I roll in and I got a good quarterback to

804
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: take heat off things. I got New York City. If

805
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm so inclined to live in Manhattan as we say,

806
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: or Manhattan as they say, I'm from the DC area,

807
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't mind it there bet I

808
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: like it a lot one of those. I'm just I'm

809
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: not a huge Arizona guy. Maybe I love Arizona and

810
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm generally there the right time of the year, like

811
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: when my son went to Grand Canyon University for a

812
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: couple of years.

813
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: When you're there in December January, I mean, it's fantastic. Yeah.

814
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arizona's tough to beat. I mean, I don't want

815
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: to beautiful. It's almost like, where do you not want

816
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: to go? I don't want to go to Cleveland. I

817
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: don't trust myself for my team in Vegas or South Beach.

818
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: I don't want vomit on my shoes as I walk

819
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: down Broadway in Nashville. And yeah, so that'd be my answer.

820
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: Probably Baltimore, the Giants or Arizona.

821
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 4: I think from a football standpoint, it's almost certainly Baltimore.

822
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: But from a living standpoint, well, I think I think

823
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: like is nice.

824
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: Okay, if like Kevin Stefanski yesterday interviewed with the New

825
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: York Giants, John Harbaugh is interviewing today or tomorrow there,

826
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: I think that's the best spot. I mean, because I

827
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: like the quarterback and I'm kind of low key loving

828
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: Jackson dark and when he gets refinement, he just has

829
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: God's gifted him with things that you just cannot teach.

830
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: They got Abdul Carter, they got Brian Burns, they have

831
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: Milak neighbors, and I like Skataboo, so I think, and

832
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: they got good draft picks, so I mean the Jet.

833
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: The plumb job for me would be the New York

834
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Giants number two, number two.

835
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 4: We'll work into brettz Betts here because I'm looking at

836
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 4: the NFL slate. He starts on Saturday, Rams Panthers. Obviously

837
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: my squad, which we talked about a little bit, Packers Bears.

838
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 4: But I'm looking ahead to this three point thirty matchup

839
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers Eagles. I've got the Eagles favored at

840
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 4: four and a half points.

841
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: It's four and a half.

842
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: I'm hammering san fran I think this Eagles team is broken.

843
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: And if you look at the that's what they want

844
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 2: you to think. Well, maybe they're beating me into it.

845
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 4: But if you look at the analytics that I pulled

846
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 4: up earlier to defend Jordan love Rock parties right at

847
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 4: the top of that as well, I know and I

848
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 4: get the defense as questionable, and that's being generous for

849
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. But you know what else is

850
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 4: questionable that Eagles offense if Saquan isn't going, because they

851
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 4: at times looked hideous, So give me San France to

852
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: at least cover well.

853
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting you bring that up if you were going

854
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: to Clark County in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's personally speaking,

855
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: because the Eagles the Super Bowl champions.

856
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 2: They did enough to win the DEVI.

857
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: They did enough of what you need to do to

858
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: get where they are once they knew they couldn't get

859
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: the one, okay, and that's happened with a lot of

860
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions in the past. I roll up to

861
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: whatever window at whatever casino in the seven oh two,

862
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,959
Speaker 1: and I look at the clerk and I'm like, here's

863
00:44:59,000 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: the deal.

864
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 2: I want you to.

865
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: Here's ten dollars on the Eagles minus four and a half.

866
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: I want you to push that button until all of

867
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: Clark County runs out of paper, and then I want

868
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: you to cut down more trees and get more paper

869
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: so I can do it again. I think the Philadelphia

870
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to roll the San Francisco forty nine ers,

871
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: and part of it has to do with what I've

872
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: seen from their defense the last couple of games with

873
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles. There are things where they've been jacking around

874
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: with using Saquan here and why hasn't he taken off?

875
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: And aj Brown hates the passing game again? This that

876
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: the other where's Cooper dejene After the great Super Bowl

877
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: of Zach Bawn?

878
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: What happened?

879
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: You know?

880
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: Happened? Well, they're waiting.

881
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: They know how to do this, So does Next Level Shanning,

882
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: and so does proc Perty, so does Christian McCaffrey. And

883
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: then after that, I think this is when Kittle's seventy

884
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: five to eighty percent. I mean, he can still beat you,

885
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: but no, I Yuka Yuka is on fire, Deebo Samuel

886
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: now a commander, I think, missing Fred Warner, missing Bosa,

887
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: missing some key guys on defense. I think this is

888
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: the one where it's like, oh wow, holy cow, they

889
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: have no pass rush. Holy cow? When did Eric Hendricks

890
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: play again? And he's playing the full game. Now, yeah,

891
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia is going to crush him. But I'm

892
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: going right into the teeth of Brett's betts and all

893
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: you do is win. So now I'm a little wary.

894
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: Why don't you give me the money you were gonna

895
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: bean brilliant and we'll I'll kick you and we'll call it.

896
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 2: A day today. I always love that one.

897
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: Here you go, number three. What do you think of

898
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: this college football? Yes, lever on the way out. It's

899
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 4: in my favorite spot, Arizona Glendale not so much. But anyways, Miami,

900
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 4: oh Miss, You've got Carson Beck, You've got the anti

901
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin terrorism.

902
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: What do you think tonight?

903
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 4: And what's your level of interest? I'll ask first, or

904
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: is this a lock in game? Or is this a

905
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: I'll have it on while I'm also doing other things the.

906
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 2: Latter, and I enjoy college football.

907
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: I enjoy the college football playoffs system a lot me too,

908
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: And when it gets to the final four, like the

909
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: the Ole Miss Georgia game, I mean I had to

910
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: watch every second of the second half of that thing.

911
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 2: Was unbelievable.

912
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: I think Miami is kind of boring to watch sometimes,

913
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: but is effective. Indiana, that story, it's awesome. It's a

914
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: fantastic story, ma'am. And I got a lot of friends

915
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: who either attended I You or for whatever the reason,

916
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: they love I You. So I will watch both. I

917
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: am traveling tomorrow but I will make sure that I

918
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: find a spot when when I get where, I'm going

919
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: to watch tomorrow night's game, or at least casually watch it.

920
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: Same thing with tonight.

921
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: I'll have it on in the background, like doing Errand's

922
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: or cleaning up or writing the feast or whatever. I'm

923
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: not going to hone in on every single play, but no,

924
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: it'll be on. I wouldn't have any idea which way

925
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: to predict these games.

926
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: What about you?

927
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's kind of I think Indiana's the

928
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 4: odds on favorite. As for tonight, your guess as good

929
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: as mine. I'd probably lean Miami, but.

930
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Let's go here, number four. This

931
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,479
Speaker 2: team's back in action tonight, a lot looking for five field,

932
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: nothing there and body will just dance back with it.

933
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: The horn sound so the Kings get off. I were

934
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 2: happy for him saddle with just one in two consecutive games.

935
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: It's Southern California here.

936
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah it.

937
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 4: I just can't rep because Gorgy was saying, well, it's

938
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 4: when you play them. I'm of the opinion that I'm

939
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 4: still not I'm not panicking. I'm not even one percent panicking,

940
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 4: but they're not playing their best hockey as of late,

941
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 4: and it's a Seattle team who is kind of coming

942
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 4: in hot. So I think they need to have a

943
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 4: good performance tonight. Now it sounds like Johansson's gonna play,

944
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: It sounds like Brodein's gonna play, is probably gonna play,

945
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 4: I believe. I mean, I'm gonna double check it, but

946
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 4: I'm pretty like ninety percent sure.

947
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: I saw Russo tweet we we got Heinze thirty five

948
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: minutes from now, so it Risso tweets that that means

949
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: he's seen the skate. Yeah, yeah, it's nine to thirty

950
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: five cappuccino, Capital time or a steam because he's elite.

951
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: But Heinzi about thirty five minutes from now is going

952
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: to hit him with that Jojo question.

953
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: And then a Wallstet in the net as well for

954
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: your while.

955
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 4: So they need to have a big performance tonight against

956
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 4: the Kraken to kind of get back on track a

957
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 4: little bit. Not that there the wheels are falling off,

958
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 4: but yeah, heines expect Joe Hanson and Brodein to play tomorrow.

959
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 4: Undecided whether Hunt or your Check that plays. Bagoshin went home.

960
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 4: Wallstet starts against the Krakens alas I like.

961
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: How Kevin Gorg laid it out a couple of hours

962
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: ago when when we had him on from Seattle. I mean,

963
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: he's in your spotty, so he's a he's a functioning

964
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: tow toholic, even though he's if he's asked to tout

965
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: or not. He really likes the Wild tonight, and he

966
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: was concerned about the Islanders game on Saturday, and he

967
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: laid out a really, really a good menu of items

968
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: as to what plays into that point. Uh, I mean,

969
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: the the kracking of won eight of the last nine.

970
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: It's it's I've watched the Kraken a few times this year,

971
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: but specifically when they play the Wild.

972
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

973
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how the team got good. I mean

974
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: it's it's okay. It's kind of a plotting bits, not

975
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: fast like Los Angeles. The The interesting thing tonight is

976
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: a month ago when they played Seattle, is your guy

977
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: I forgot his name, took that run of Zuki and well,

978
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to look into this before I have heinzi. Honest,

979
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: I got a few questions to write. I don't think

980
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: Felino played in that game. I think that's when Fellino

981
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: was out Fellino ain't out now, so Fellino v the

982
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: world at some point in that game. Something's gonna happen

983
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: tonight because I forgot the guy's name.

984
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: Done.

985
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: I think you're right, thank you. It's done. Yeah, he

986
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: so done takes this run at Zuki. It was negative.

987
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Caprisov was looking to get into a cage match.

988
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: Nothing happened after that. This is the first one since

989
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: and they're back out there and Polino's in uniform.

990
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: That's gonna be intriguing. It'll be interesting. There you have it.
