Speaker 1: And hey seven o five, mustman's here, Hi must been?
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning guys, how we do. Good to see you,
Speaker 2: Good to see you. We've been talking about.
Speaker 3: Things like what it's sports, and we were talking to
Speaker 3: Ben and listening to his thoughts regarding a possible schism
Speaker 3: on top of everything else.
Speaker 4: Did something? Was there a straw that broke the camel's back?
Speaker 4: If you know what I mean? Ben, Do you do
Speaker 4: you think it was more than just a draft picks?
Speaker 5: Well, let me just say this too, because I was,
Speaker 5: you know, inadvertently pulled into the whole schism thing. So
Speaker 5: I just want to make sure that I clear myself
Speaker 5: and distance myself from the words.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5: Situation, because I am certainly not saying that there is
Speaker 5: a schism or there was a schism forgot.
Speaker 6: I want to go on records.
Speaker 5: Saying that that is a word that you used, and
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to say that there is or was
Speaker 5: a schism of any sorts. Brad Childress, if you're listening,
Speaker 5: he loves this show. Yeah, he loves me.
Speaker 6: I'm sure he does, Yes, I sure, yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was never a part of it then and
Speaker 5: I'm not a part of it now. For the record,
Speaker 5: So no, it's just my general feeling that that there
Speaker 5: wasn't when you when a coach loses sort of the
Speaker 5: confidence of the locker room, and we see it time
Speaker 5: and time again, and then you know, said coach gets
Speaker 5: fired and then you start hearing about like, yeah, players
Speaker 5: didn't mesh with them, players didn't do this, organization didn't
Speaker 5: do that, or didn't didn't like this about him. I
Speaker 5: think the same thing can be said true for GMS,
Speaker 5: and I think that's kind of what happened here. I
Speaker 5: think this overall, there was this a loss of confidence
Speaker 5: that he knew what he was doing, and I think
Speaker 5: there's a loss of competence when you add up a
Speaker 5: lot of those stories when he's having you know, either
Speaker 5: a private conversation with KOC about how to use a
Speaker 5: tight end or you know, how to build the roster
Speaker 5: this way, and then he goes out publicly and we
Speaker 5: make some certain trades, which I mean, I remember that
Speaker 5: trade that you guys talked about with Detroit. That was
Speaker 5: his first draft, right, And I remember where I was.
Speaker 5: I was at our kids fundraiser and somebody was like,
Speaker 5: did you just see that we traded with the Lions?
Speaker 6: And I was like, why would we do that?
Speaker 5: And trying to wrap my head around how do we
Speaker 5: positively spin this like this is a good thing?
Speaker 6: Right? That was day one basically of his job, and
Speaker 6: it never.
Speaker 5: Really seem like he was making the right depths or
Speaker 5: on top of that, it seemed like, is he trying
Speaker 5: to be smarter than everybody else? Is he trying to
Speaker 5: be so contrarian against the system that he's just gonna like,
Speaker 5: I'm going to do it my way and let's see
Speaker 5: what happens and try to prove that the analytics and
Speaker 5: all this stuff is a better approach than multiple times
Speaker 5: trading with your division rivals. Like some of the stuff
Speaker 5: just didn't make sense. And I think you add that
Speaker 5: up into the decisions and some of the blunders and
Speaker 5: draft blunders that we've had, and it's like, I think
Speaker 5: there's this an overall loss of confidence in him. And
Speaker 5: then you throw in the fact that reports are coming
Speaker 5: out that he wasn't a quote unquote a grinder. He
Speaker 5: wasn't a foot an old school football grinder. And I'll
Speaker 5: put it on record right now. I think I know
Speaker 5: there's a lot of corporate people out there that are
Speaker 5: coming to his defense, saying that he has every right
Speaker 5: to take at least two weeks off during training camp
Speaker 5: for the birth of his child, and I disagree. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Football is an unconventional corporate world. We don't live by
Speaker 5: your corporate standards. That's not the way it works. You
Speaker 5: want to take a day or two off, fine, if
Speaker 5: it's the off season, go ahead and take some more
Speaker 5: time off training camp when everybody there is grinding every
Speaker 5: single second of the day, and you want to take
Speaker 5: two weeks off and not show up. See, I don't
Speaker 5: agree with that. I think that is you set yourself
Speaker 5: up for ridicule and criticism when you do that in
Speaker 5: a football world. And look, I don't have to be
Speaker 5: right about that, but in my based on my experience
Speaker 5: and expertise of being in those situations, especially early on,
Speaker 5: there's no built up equity. He hasn't been a GM
Speaker 5: for a Super Bowl team for the last ten years. Dude,
Speaker 5: you got to do everything you can in the first
Speaker 5: couple of years to prove that you love this.
Speaker 6: You have to live it.
Speaker 5: You have to show everybody that I am a grinder,
Speaker 5: I am there all the time, I am accessible, my
Speaker 5: door is open. I need to go out and build bridges.
Speaker 5: I need to bring this team together. That's what you
Speaker 5: do as a GM. And is it exhausting, Hell yeah.
Speaker 5: Is it challenging, Hell yeah. But there's only thirty two
Speaker 5: of these jobs in the NFL, and there would be
Speaker 5: so many guys out there that would not have taken
Speaker 5: that time off, and they would have been accessible and
Speaker 5: they and people. He would have gotten so much street
Speaker 5: cred because that in street cred matters in those situations,
Speaker 5: Like damn man, he was with his wife and son
Speaker 5: for like two or three days. He was back at it,
Speaker 5: like who good for him? So I think when you
Speaker 5: add up all those things, I think there was just
Speaker 5: a kind of a loss and confidence there.
Speaker 2: Our guy, Brezenski has been with the club since nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety nine love. In fact, if you remember the Triangle
Speaker 2: of Authority, he was one of the tips of the triangle. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: years he's been the cap guy. He's got great relationships
Speaker 2: with the agents. Even one of the agents here in
Speaker 2: town came out and said he should be the guy.
Speaker 2: Do you think a percent chance that that he is
Speaker 2: the guy that ends up being the GM.
Speaker 5: I mean, if if the rumors are true, that they're
Speaker 5: going to go after George Peyton. I think I think
Speaker 5: that's that's where you try to find you blend in
Speaker 5: the football acumen, the instincts along with some of the
Speaker 5: modern analytics that to me seems like a perfect fit
Speaker 5: in this situation. He knows the organization, all that stuff.
Speaker 5: We all, I think when when he took that Broncos job,
Speaker 5: we were all sad to miss him and we're like, man,
Speaker 5: this guy. Man, if the timing worked out, he could
Speaker 5: he should have been the guy.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: So if that's the truth, then I think, yeah, I
Speaker 5: think Rob could probably take a step back after the draft,
Speaker 5: go back to his normal rule, his role where he's
Speaker 5: the best capologist in the league and just kind of
Speaker 5: everything everything is great, and there's complete symmetry with with
Speaker 5: Peyton being back. If that doesn't happen and if there's
Speaker 5: not somebody like that, I'm not saying that Brazinski should
Speaker 5: be their number one guy, but if because of the
Speaker 5: hiring cycle, maybe they don't feel comfortable just reaching again
Speaker 5: for somebody else, I'm all for Rob Razinski being the GM.
Speaker 5: I think he's a fantastic human being. I think that
Speaker 5: he is. He knows he's been around long enough to
Speaker 5: know the process and the operations of what it takes
Speaker 5: to be a GM, and he would lean on his scouts,
Speaker 5: and I think that he would bring in more football
Speaker 5: type people, and I think he would have a good
Speaker 5: cohesiveness with the coaching staff to figure out some of
Speaker 5: these decisions. So I think he'd be the right type
Speaker 5: of guy to settle this whole thing.
Speaker 7: Then, can ask you a question real quick. Sure I
Speaker 7: can guess your answer based off of what you've been saying.
Speaker 7: But do you do you think that Quasi will work
Speaker 7: in the NFL?
Speaker 6: Again? Sho, Sure, I don't know why I wouldn't.
Speaker 7: Just because of all the stuff that like those the
Speaker 7: little details we learned on the way out.
Speaker 5: I think I think it's one of those take a
Speaker 5: year off, reassess what you want to do, how what
Speaker 5: what sort of role you want to go back into.
Speaker 5: It likely it won't be GM, though, No, no, no, no, But like,
Speaker 5: who's to say that he couldn't become like a Rob
Speaker 5: Razinski for a squad, Like if he's if he's so
Speaker 5: about numbers and understands the analytics of all this stuff,
Speaker 5: like if he wants to reinvent himself into being a
Speaker 5: capologist because of his extensive background on Wall Street and
Speaker 5: numbers and how it all works. I think he, you know,
Speaker 5: based on what I understand about the role, he could
Speaker 5: probably do that and and you know there's high value
Speaker 5: in that for these for these teams. So do I
Speaker 5: think that he's going to be a GM again, No,
Speaker 5: do I think that he could be working within a
Speaker 5: front office somewhere for sure.
Speaker 8: My guess is he interviews extremely well too, right, very smart,
Speaker 8: very smart, articulate. Yeah, So my guess is he could
Speaker 8: probably win over a lot of rooms. He definitely remember
Speaker 8: won the press conference. Remember we talked about that when
Speaker 8: he got here, were like, dude, this guy is different.
Speaker 8: So getting a job again probably not impossible. Getting a
Speaker 8: GM job might be tough because of all the things
Speaker 8: that we've been talking about for an hour and a half.
Speaker 8: Where might interview well, might be super smart, But if
Speaker 8: you don't know football, we just can't give you the reins.
Speaker 4: What about JJ McCarthy's he wakes up this morning?
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 6: For a weekend.
Speaker 8: If you believe a lot of the things that we're
Speaker 8: written over the weekend for jjy know how close he was.
Speaker 9: To being gone multiple times, I.
Speaker 5: Would say that in all fairness, I think that the
Speaker 5: one thing that we have he has to look at
Speaker 5: is Chao the rumors, and at least what's been stated
Speaker 5: in some of these articles is that it's not that
Speaker 5: Kaoc doesn't like him. He was saying he's just not
Speaker 5: ready yet. And I think that there's a big difference
Speaker 5: between the two, and I think that's a good way
Speaker 5: going forward at least. And if I was JJ, and
Speaker 5: if I'm looking at this like critically and like, Okay,
Speaker 5: it's not like they didn't like me. It's just that
Speaker 5: maybe I was just too young and thrown into the
Speaker 5: the fire a little bit too early. And I think
Speaker 5: that he could probably even understand that. I think the
Speaker 5: game was just a little too fast for him. So
Speaker 5: I think that's a little bit of a way to
Speaker 5: save face. But again depend on what article you look
Speaker 5: at and what site you're looking at, and the fans
Speaker 5: get involved and how they interpret things. I'm not so
Speaker 5: sure that you would want to go down those rabbit holes.
Speaker 5: And I don't think that's gonna feel real good, you know,
Speaker 5: coming back in April or whenever, you know. I'm sure
Speaker 5: he's around even now after taking probably a vacation or whatever.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think there's gonna have to be a
Speaker 5: little bit of damage control done on that front.
Speaker 10: Just from some of the verbiage from KOC and h
Speaker 10: and Jets talking about JJ McCarthy, you can tell that
Speaker 10: they're like, yeah, he's not there yet, you know.
Speaker 6: What I mean.
Speaker 10: And they keep talking about how much they need to
Speaker 10: work together, how much you know, he needs to hit
Speaker 10: this next stride, he needs to get to this next level.
Speaker 10: And so you can kind of tell that they're like, yeah,
Speaker 10: we're not sold.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's and that again, it goes back to
Speaker 5: what I'm saying as far as if you look at
Speaker 5: it objectively, if you're JJ, all of those things are true,
Speaker 5: you know, so are they.
Speaker 6: Attacking me personally?
Speaker 5: Are they saying anything that they probably haven't said or
Speaker 5: felt privately?
Speaker 6: Probably not, you know so, but to say it publicly,
Speaker 6: that's that's the one that thinks.
Speaker 5: That's why I know, That's why I'm like, I just
Speaker 5: hope that he realizes, like, yes, there is a sting
Speaker 5: to this, just like you were saying. But it's all
Speaker 5: something as a player you already know.
Speaker 4: As a quarterback, you got to react to that the
Speaker 4: correct way too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you really do.
Speaker 5: And you know he he knew, he knew. When the
Speaker 5: season was over, I see, I thought the end of
Speaker 5: season press conference with Koc and Quacy was actually pretty telling.
Speaker 5: I mean you could see a little bit of the
Speaker 5: they kind of pulled their their filters out a little
Speaker 5: bit and their guard down a little bit talking about
Speaker 5: they did not commit it to JJ for next year.
Speaker 5: They definitely talked about bringing in a veteran presence. They
Speaker 5: definitely talked about him competing for the spot and have
Speaker 5: to earn his spot. So they pretty much set it
Speaker 5: out publicly before Quaysus even fired that, Look, we got
Speaker 5: to have a better we got it, we have better
Speaker 5: performances there. We have to find somebody that can come
Speaker 5: in and lead this team in the right way and
Speaker 5: the way that the way that we see fit. And
Speaker 5: we're not going to commit to JJ being the starter
Speaker 5: for next year. He's not inked in, like he's going
Speaker 5: to have to battle this thing out and do some
Speaker 5: soul searching. So again, all of that has already been said,
Speaker 5: it just wasn't said. Maybe with the to your to
Speaker 5: you use your word again, the sting that kind of
Speaker 5: has happened over the weekend.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean to go back and circle around back
Speaker 10: to Quacy here on this one. And I really do
Speaker 10: not believe him dancing on somebody's career grave uh at all.
Speaker 10: He definitely acted the times I've been around him or whatever.
Speaker 6: He's the smartest guy in the room.
Speaker 10: Just ask him and secondly, wow wow, but no, but
Speaker 10: and and he is he probably is the smartest guy
Speaker 10: in the room. So I mean, obviously, if you're putting
Speaker 10: this bar here, if I'm the bar in the room.
Speaker 10: But it seems and from an outside look at it,
Speaker 10: is that the draft stuff we always talk about, and
Speaker 10: you know, he hasn't been really good with the draft.
Speaker 6: I think that he.
Speaker 10: Didn't also sometimes listen to his guys during draft. But
Speaker 10: then with the free agency they killed it. He actually
Speaker 10: listened to KOs, listened to Brian and was able to.
Speaker 6: Get guys that would fit what they need. Yeah, they
Speaker 6: killed it in twenty twenty four. Yeah, not so much
Speaker 6: last year because a lot of those guys are going
Speaker 6: to get cut.
Speaker 10: But you can't Okay, here's the thing. You can't draft,
Speaker 10: but but you can't draft injury. You can't like free
Speaker 10: agent injury. What injuries were the biggest, cause you can't remember,
Speaker 10: you can't predict.
Speaker 8: They also they also he also signed a whole bunch
Speaker 8: of people. He bought low on, a whole bunch of
Speaker 8: older injured players, hoping they would bounce back. Ye when
Speaker 8: you are when you're buying a car that's got problems,
Speaker 8: it might have more problems. So problem We also and
Speaker 8: that wasn't even hindsight. We all said that at the time,
Speaker 8: Ben right there, he's buying low on a lot of
Speaker 8: these guys. And if a lot of these guys can
Speaker 8: get back to where they were, were in really good shape.
Speaker 8: And that just did not come to Fruist almost always,
Speaker 8: almost across the board. Ryan Kelly was the biggest example
Speaker 8: because he just had three more concussions this year.
Speaker 6: Damn.
Speaker 8: So if he was healthy, would he great? We'll never know, so,
Speaker 8: but that's what you bought. You bought a guy that
Speaker 8: had had a series.
Speaker 9: Of injuries and concussions.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 9: Frustrating man either way.
Speaker 8: By the way, one last thing, because you mentioned press conference,
Speaker 8: and I thought of this three minutes ago, and I
Speaker 8: was just waiting for my turn to talk. The wolf
Speaker 8: should never do press conferences. That Friday garbage was such
Speaker 8: a waste of thirty minutes of everybody's life.
Speaker 9: Did you hear that?
Speaker 6: I actually did not hear. God like a lot of it.
Speaker 8: They might be great, it's not worth playing. It's honestly,
Speaker 8: he said nothing in thirty minutes, and I'm like, I
Speaker 8: just want.
Speaker 9: To listen to password. Yeah, what is this?
Speaker 8: I mean a lot of the cliches from back in
Speaker 8: the day, like we just wanted to get this right, right,
Speaker 8: it's not one thing, Okay. Then he said it over
Speaker 8: and over again thirty straight minutes. Everybody thinks they're great owners.
Speaker 8: They probably are. I have no opinion on them personally,
Speaker 8: never met him. They should just never do press conferences.
Speaker 8: They don't say anything.
Speaker 4: I don't think they've ever made a mistake.
Speaker 6: I think I do think that over say anything.
Speaker 5: I don't know how anybody would think that they're not greatos.
Speaker 5: They are fantastic owners, good looking in the way that
Speaker 5: they're handsome. I mean, look at where they were under
Speaker 5: McCombs to where they are now. I mean it is
Speaker 5: not even yeah, it's been Yeah.
Speaker 8: I just have other people just like koc doing have
Speaker 8: somebody else do the press conferences. That's all or don't
Speaker 8: call one.
Speaker 9: If you're not going to say anything, have.
Speaker 6: Must do it.
Speaker 9: That must do it, You do it.
Speaker 6: I got nothing else going on.
Speaker 8: Oh, also do sports after this. This is the power
Speaker 8: Trip We're on show on the fan.
Speaker 4: Welcome back. It's seven twenty seven Pouch of Morey Show
Speaker 4: and here we are with the Libra must in the
Speaker 4: cast on thousands pouch morch on a Monday morning and
Speaker 4: go right back into football talk as the super Bowl
Speaker 4: is this weekend and I kind of forgot about because
Speaker 4: there's so much going on in the world of your
Speaker 4: Minnesota bikes. Don't you think the twins were like, son
Speaker 4: of a bitch? It makes such a huge move and
Speaker 4: nobody cares or they loved it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 9: I think they's like yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because they've been so good for the last Okay,
Speaker 10: well you're just taking shots us.
Speaker 11: Right or what?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Say it? It must just say something nice for one.
Speaker 6: Come on, ma, thank you.
Speaker 4: It was very nice.
Speaker 5: We didn't we didn't play.
Speaker 4: Sorry everybody let you down.
Speaker 6: You didn't let me do it?
Speaker 4: No, No, I didn't.
Speaker 8: You knew I wasn't gonna come back.
Speaker 10: I gotta tell you and lately have been doing a
Speaker 10: lot more.
Speaker 4: Than I'm trying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying. I thought it might be a chance.
Speaker 4: Here's something I realized. At least we got friends.
Speaker 6: You don't want to play?
Speaker 4: No, you're right. I did, and I'm going to.
Speaker 6: Say you looking at me as if I didn't.
Speaker 8: I did walk me through your logic though. You sent
Speaker 8: a group text to like fifteen of us saying, Hey, Saturday, les,
Speaker 8: let's do the golf bit, right, who's in free golf?
Speaker 6: Right? Who's in you?
Speaker 8: I believes right, I believe One person was like, what
Speaker 8: time right? Which is not a confirmation, it's just what
Speaker 8: time are you thinking?
Speaker 6: And then pretty.
Speaker 8: Quickly after you texted the group back, you said booked,
Speaker 8: got it? Tend to noon or whatever? So nobody had
Speaker 8: confirmed and you're like, I'm going for it. Well yeah
Speaker 8: that was interesting.
Speaker 6: Well no, you just have to pick it. You can
Speaker 6: make it or you can't. Who cares at that point?
Speaker 9: Sure, yeah, Tommy didn't show you.
Speaker 6: I had to sit there and go through everybody's schedule.
Speaker 9: Because that would mean person sounds great, what time?
Speaker 10: I was going for an early time so that way
Speaker 10: people could still have their Saturday to do what they want.
Speaker 4: To do listen. We I appreciate the thought.
Speaker 6: You just got blessed me there. I just saw ef
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it that you thought about it and you
Speaker 4: wanted to get us all together. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5: No, I thought it was like the time. I was like,
Speaker 5: this is a great idea. We should do this. I'm
Speaker 5: actually really curious about going down to the launch pad
Speaker 5: and checking it out.
Speaker 6: We should do it. It's a lot of fun. So
Speaker 6: I love that you brought up.
Speaker 5: That's why I was like, well, I actually like I
Speaker 5: just want I got in front of it, like, I
Speaker 5: can't do it. We've got like all all sorts of
Speaker 5: kid stuff happening that day, so like would love to,
Speaker 5: but I'm out me keep me in mind for the
Speaker 5: next one.
Speaker 10: So even text this is a good idea, but we
Speaker 10: got basketball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like Corey said, this is dumb.
Speaker 6: Corey did not respond. He he called me personally.
Speaker 4: We made fun of you for ten minutes. It's great
Speaker 4: to leave this text.
Speaker 9: What an idiot. I went to golf in January.
Speaker 8: It's heated psycho pace heated, well, Hawk and I would
Speaker 8: have found a heated spot of he and I.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, yeah, you know I might have been across
Speaker 4: the street while.
Speaker 9: You were doing.
Speaker 5: That's a great time for you guys to just use
Speaker 5: your body heat together, can just waved.
Speaker 6: Hey guys, wait.
Speaker 8: It's time for a fan five on the Power Trip
Speaker 8: presented by All Around your Timber Tech deck building contractor.
Speaker 11: The Super Bowl is this Sunday between the Seahawks and
Speaker 11: the Patriots at five point thirty pregame I think starts
Speaker 11: around one o'clock on this station. The Seahawks are four
Speaker 11: and a half point favorites. Media day is today and
Speaker 11: we will go on from there.
Speaker 6: WHOA, it's happening all three phases. Seahawks are just better,
Speaker 6: you know, I one hundred percent agree with that.
Speaker 5: My only thing that is holding me back is that's
Speaker 5: staff for Seattle. This is like their first rodeo together.
Speaker 5: Josh McDaniels, the offensive coordinator, has been there many time,
Speaker 5: many time, and so is Vrabel. So the experience goes
Speaker 5: coaching staff in preparation to New England, and I'm like, listen,
Speaker 5: I don't think that their offense is going to be
Speaker 5: as good as Seattle's defense, But give this guy two
Speaker 5: weeks to prepare.
Speaker 6: You never know what's going to happen. So I think so.
Speaker 5: I do think they're going to be super prepared, and
Speaker 5: there's gonna be some stuff that Seattle has not seen
Speaker 5: yet this whole season that'd be pulled.
Speaker 6: Out of the bag. High scoring game or you think you.
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. I think it's go lower
Speaker 5: scoring game. And I do think that Seattle wins by
Speaker 5: ten plus.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and if Donald has to throw the ball thirty times,
Speaker 10: they're going to probably lose.
Speaker 12: That means a run game wasn't going Yeah, yeah, probably
Speaker 12: flipping the field. Yeah great, great, it's your turn. No,
Speaker 12: I no, that was fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: The Gophers lost seventy seven seventy five depend State yesterday.
Speaker 8: That's their sixth straight loss. They battle seventh seventh, isn't
Speaker 8: it seventh straight? Seventh's either way? Six I counted them.
Speaker 8: I hope you're right. Six would be better, right, Six
Speaker 8: is better than seven.
Speaker 6: Thank you. They battle seventh rank Michigan State.
Speaker 11: On Wednesday at six Amazing hot lots and amazing hot rods.
Speaker 9: They've lost seventh straight.
Speaker 6: Seventh.
Speaker 9: We should have known when you said you counted.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Hey, speaking of that, I still have the map from Friday,
Speaker 8: and I I have more faith.
Speaker 6: Upset.
Speaker 4: I have more faith that he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 6: Upset.
Speaker 9: We're not smart. No, I'm not gonna get a lot
Speaker 9: of them.
Speaker 8: We're all hammering the over. The only reason it came
Speaker 8: up is you thought you would get thirty. I'm like,
Speaker 8: you're gonna get way more than thirty.
Speaker 6: I doubt it.
Speaker 8: I don't think you're gonna get fifty, but you're not
Speaker 8: getting thirty.
Speaker 4: I'll do it if you want to. I know I'm
Speaker 4: an idiot.
Speaker 6: I actually want to do it just for fun. Yeah,
Speaker 6: me too, What don't we all do?
Speaker 8: I can definitely get all fifty now because somebody helped
Speaker 8: me with the Vermont versus New Hampshire thing.
Speaker 6: Now, I'm.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna write New England in Mexico.
Speaker 8: I just I am so confident Sauce can get over thirty.

Speaker 8: see the where you're pointing. How about here, let's do this.
Speaker 8: Let's do this. You gotta ask in Hawaii. Okay, there's
Speaker 8: two start top probably stop or start top left hand corner,
Speaker 8: so then people can visualize in their cars where you're

Speaker 4: Right down on.
Speaker 6: Is this New Mexico?
Speaker 9: Use your ten Maybe where are you pointing?
Speaker 6: Right here in the middle line?
Speaker 8: If he gets always, if he gets it wrong, don't
Speaker 8: tell him what it is right away, just in case,
Speaker 8: because then obviously that would tip his hand for a
Speaker 8: different one.
Speaker 9: This one, and which one are you pointing at? He
Speaker 9: keeps like hovering over multiple This is Arizona.
Speaker 8: I can't see where you're point the radio ever made Arizona.

Speaker 6: That's only Montana. Yeah, this is Wyoming.
Speaker 8: Yes, but hey see now how are we counting though,
Speaker 8: if you're like, we're giving you multiple chances.
Speaker 5: No, I I think that I'll give him a pass
Speaker 5: on that one. I think that he didn't realize he
Speaker 5: pointed that one already.
Speaker 4: I really wish you would because it was I will,
Speaker 4: all right, write them all in.
Speaker 6: This is the thing I attack your thoughts.
Speaker 8: Yeah, write them all in one per and then we'll

Speaker 9: He doesn't understand in the East Coast.
Speaker 6: And east of Ohio.

Speaker 8: on the East Coast as well. Grew up in Indiana,
Speaker 8: which is sometimes considered the south. Right, a lot of
Speaker 8: people have weird titles for regions. Somebody referenced West Virginia
Speaker 8: as the Midwest. Does anybody consider West Virginia the Midwest?
Speaker 6: It's literally not telling you.
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 8: It's not even close to the middle. You know, part
Speaker 8: of the middle in Midwest is the mid part, right,
Speaker 8: Nevada is not Midwest.
Speaker 5: And really the term doesn't make sense because mid West
Speaker 5: halfway to the west. Yeah, it's like it's not even
Speaker 5: west when they just they don't even consider Minnesota the Midwest.
Speaker 9: The only thing it's west of is Virginia. Yeah, kind of.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, I'm west West Virginia makes no.
Speaker 5: Correct exactly because is it Minnesota, South, Dakota and brad
Speaker 5: both Dakotas and a braath like considered that the upper
Speaker 5: Upper Midwest, the Upper Midwest or the Upper Plains as
Speaker 5: I think I've also heard that. Yeah, like it's a
Speaker 5: complete separate region.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know how anybody could go west Virginia, Iowa,
Speaker 6: and Wisconsin.
Speaker 5: And then we throw in the Ohio Valley, which is

Speaker 4: thirty seven again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I stick with my forty I got Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: gonna two more.
Speaker 6: I was gonna go thirty.
Speaker 8: If you take take the western border of Minnesota right
Speaker 8: and follow that line essentially straight down, he got everything
Speaker 8: west of that line correct. Now, if you start in Minnesota,
Speaker 8: he got Minnesota right, he got Iowa right, he.
Speaker 6: Got Missouri right.
Speaker 8: Left the one under Missouri blank, which is But what's
Speaker 8: interesting is you guess that state for another state that
Speaker 8: you definitely should know.
Speaker 9: Definitely sippy. No, where does your mother in law live?
Speaker 6: Oh, Tennessee. You guessed Arkansas was Tennessee?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 9: I did?
Speaker 8: Yeah, So you wrote Arkansas where Tennessee is supposed to
Speaker 8: be and left Arkansas blank?
Speaker 6: Right, that's trashy.
Speaker 9: He had Tennessee where Kentucky is.
Speaker 13: No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how did I miss that?
Speaker 9: Dummy and Iowa right. Yes, guess you.
Speaker 8: Left Mississippi blank and then wrote miss on Alabama but
Speaker 8: then crossed it off.
Speaker 9: So even if you had left it, you still would
Speaker 9: ahead it wrong because you.
Speaker 4: Misses somebody in Alabama.
Speaker 6: You're talking about the miss America.
Speaker 8: You got Wisconsin right, Michigan right, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 8: you got North and South Carolina right.
Speaker 9: You got Georgia right, Florida right.
Speaker 8: You left West Virginia blank, but put West Virginia on Virginia.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I forgot there two of them.
Speaker 8: You left Maryland blank, You left Delaware blank. You left
Speaker 8: New Jersey blank, New Jersey.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. You left Rhode Island blank.
Speaker 9: What yep?
Speaker 6: I don't know where that one is.
Speaker 9: It's the smallest one.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well that map.
Speaker 8: Song, you you wrote Rhode Island where Vermont is?
Speaker 6: Okay, relax please?
Speaker 8: Uh you did guess New Hampshire correct and Maine correct?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Well I knew Maine was at the top.
Speaker 8: You had Massachuset. It's written in where Connecticut is. You
Speaker 8: left Delaware blank? The only one that that I was
Speaker 8: kicking myself over.
Speaker 9: Uh, you guys all know.
Speaker 8: New York is a pretty big state, especially for the
Speaker 8: east coast state. Yeah, and then there's that little minty
Speaker 8: string that goes like just east of New Jersey. Sauce
Speaker 8: put a line towards that little part and said New York.
Speaker 9: So I gave him credit for it, thank you.
Speaker 8: And then where New York is, he wrote Pitts and
Speaker 8: then crossed it out, So I think he was gonna
Speaker 8: guess Pittsburgh for New York as you state. As you
Speaker 8: can see, he crossed out Pittsburgh and then right there,
Speaker 8: technically I gave him credit for New York and that
Speaker 8: gave him thirty six total.
Speaker 5: Yeah, guest, yeah, you know, Pittsburgh's not a state.
Speaker 6: No, I do, Yeah, okay, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8: So you I technically pointed to New York, although I
Speaker 8: don't know if that's what you meant, but I have
Speaker 8: to give you credit because that is technically New York.
Speaker 9: Well done, well done.
Speaker 6: What was the number again? Thirty six? Okay? Wow? Not better.
Speaker 8: I would have lost a lot of money, Honestly, I
Speaker 8: thought you would have been over for forty.
Speaker 5: Not that it really helps me in this situation, because
Speaker 5: I think we all need help with that Northeast area
Speaker 5: but I remember as a kid. I still remember it
Speaker 5: to this day, the teacher telling us, once you get
Speaker 5: to Louisiana, then it's just mags. It's just the word mags.
Speaker 5: It's Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina.
Speaker 9: Oh that little stretch right there on the bottom.
Speaker 4: That would have been very helpful.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So like there was like little tricks like that
Speaker 5: and understanding where they were. But like the thing is,
Speaker 5: like I don't remember any sort of mental tricks to
Speaker 5: help me out between Vermont and New Hampshire and Maine.
Speaker 8: So here I can help you, and you'll never forget
Speaker 8: this now and now now I'll never forget this. And
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure I've been told this twenty times.
Speaker 9: But now I'm going to remember.
Speaker 8: Last week I said I knew I would either have
Speaker 8: forty eight or fifty, because it just depends on if
Speaker 8: I'm gonna.
Speaker 5: I guess before you tell me that them. So it
Speaker 5: goes from east to west? Does it go Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 8: Okay, But here's how the two mains. The top one.
Speaker 8: So the only two I was going to struggle with
Speaker 8: was Vermont in New Hampshire because I was as a
Speaker 8: kid forgot which one was which, and somebody reminded me
Speaker 8: that the shape of Vermont kind of looks like a V,
Speaker 8: the one on the one on the not like the
Speaker 8: actual letter V.
Speaker 9: It's not an.
Speaker 8: Invert V, it's an actual V. So Vermont is the
Speaker 8: one that is kind of shaped.
Speaker 6: Like a V.
Speaker 5: So the smaller pastation plants exactly.
Speaker 6: And New Hampshire's yep.
Speaker 8: So once you know that, then the piece of cake.
Speaker 8: But thirty six is not terrible.
Speaker 6: Hell yeah, that guy fell.
Speaker 8: I mean, your mother in law is going to have
Speaker 8: a hard time seeing you over the holidays. You're not
Speaker 8: going to be able to find your way to Tennessee. Sorry,
Speaker 8: just fly there, you're not driving. Yeah, I forgot. Nailed
Speaker 8: the West, thank you. And look when it's hawk in
Speaker 8: the eighties, when it's all said and done, you got Minnesota,
Speaker 8: so you know where you live. And you got Nevada,
Speaker 8: the only other state that matters, so you're fine, yes,
Speaker 8: thank you. And you got Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, which is a
Speaker 8: city in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6: Nailed it. There. You go a few months away from
Speaker 6: the Tennessee derby, yep.
Speaker 9: Well, the first Saturday in.
Speaker 2: May, ladies and gentlemen, Mark Wilf on the next GM situation.
Speaker 13: Certainly we will have conversations and begin laying the groundwork
Speaker 13: for a process now. But from a practical perspective of
Speaker 13: where we are on the football cycle, and in order
Speaker 13: to give ourselves the best outcome, we expect to conduct
Speaker 13: a thorough search to identify our next general manager after.
Speaker 4: The drift, after the draft.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, They're going to be thorough. Yeah.
Speaker 10: The one thing I can say about the Wilfs is that, man,
Speaker 10: do they love football?
Speaker 4: Amen?
Speaker 10: I mean they absolutely love football. They grew up cheering
Speaker 10: for the Giants. They just love it.
Speaker 6: They listened to fanline.
Speaker 10: I mean they absolutely Oh yeah, they love love football
Speaker 10: and it shows.
Speaker 6: That's why. I mean they're such great owners. Yeah. They
Speaker 6: Warren in Saint Paul Wowzarre. Yeah, let's match up the
Speaker 6: voice again. Does Warren Saint Paul sound like Mark Wilf.
Speaker 6: What if they did call in, be great? That would
Speaker 6: carry great.
Speaker 4: No, if I tuned in, I'd move the team.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I just love that they care this much about the
Speaker 8: state of Minnesota too. I mean they've obviously been in
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh most of their life.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a great state.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to do it. You know, it is
Speaker 5: fascinating thing. If you guys owned a team, if you
Speaker 5: guys own just like the Wolves. If you lived in
Speaker 5: New Jersey slash New York Pittsburgh or Pittsburgh or Pittsburgh,
Speaker 5: New York, and you owned the team halfway across the country,
Speaker 5: how often would you be like engrossed in all of
Speaker 5: the the like the news and all that this, Like
Speaker 5: would you listen to this show? Would you listen to
Speaker 5: PA on a daily basis? Would you listen to fan
Speaker 5: line after games? Like would you be like when you
Speaker 5: get the pulse of your team on a daily basis?
Speaker 8: I know you played for the Vikings, but you're a
Speaker 8: good example. I think people adapt to their new surroundings
Speaker 8: quicker than we give people credit for. If you moved
Speaker 8: to a foreign country, I think you would be a
Speaker 8: fan of that country's athletic teams pretty quickly. I think
Speaker 8: you adapt. You probably have your home in mind most
Speaker 8: of your life. But I mean, they've been here, what
Speaker 8: twenty years now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, But I'm saying like they have other business. Yeah sure,
Speaker 5: I'm saying for sure, like the Vikings are just one
Speaker 5: part of their.
Speaker 9: Totally total business.
Speaker 8: But I still am intrigued by the idea that they
Speaker 8: Obviously I doubt they grew up Vikings fans, but once
Speaker 8: you own them and you become a part of it,
Speaker 8: I just think it's fascinating how quickly they truly like.
Speaker 6: I think that's why everybody gets nervous about the.
Speaker 8: Timberwolves being owned by non Minnesotans or something that are
Speaker 8: they gonna move the team?
Speaker 6: It's a it's a business. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I also want to worry if it's an individual thing,
Speaker 2: like what's your tolerance level for criticism? Because I would
Speaker 2: have a hard time. But maybe, like you are good
Speaker 2: at just absorbing that and saying, you know, that's that's instructive.
Speaker 2: I'll be able to do that.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it. I've tried. I can't turn on
Speaker 2: Reddit for God's sakes, you know, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean the other day, just forget it. No, No,
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I agree with everything they say.
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what, though I'm not great at it.
Speaker 5: It took me a while in the football world to
Speaker 5: develop a thicker skin. I wouldn't say that I have
Speaker 5: the thickest skin, but I remember, I remember early on,
Speaker 5: like the hard coaching that I got, like it, it's
Speaker 5: it's like really really hard. I mean it really makes
Speaker 5: you feel depressed and like it's a hard thing to
Speaker 5: bounce back from on a daily basis.
Speaker 9: It's great.
Speaker 6: So I will say I wasn't great at it.
Speaker 5: I had to get better at it because that's just
Speaker 5: the nature of the business. Like I just I knew
Speaker 5: that it was gonna if I didn't do a better
Speaker 5: job of handling that criticism than I was just going
Speaker 5: to fail. So I did have to become a little
Speaker 5: bit more callous to it. But it's not easy, and
Speaker 5: I still don't know. I don't think anybody likes to
Speaker 5: hear criticism of themselves. I mean it's not fun. I
Speaker 5: think I think it's necessary, but it's not just fun.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
