1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: Just hold that Cord.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: School school SCOO all sco all school.

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, keep pushing, keep pushing on out hard to

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 3: get really excited for a game of the six and

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 3: eight team against the.

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Two and twelve.

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's okay because playoff games, and say, oh wait,

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: we're not in playoff games. I am. I think I'm

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: in the bass minority. I don't want them to tank,

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: but I want him to lose three in a row

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: because we get a better draft and I want the

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: team to play well though, and I want McCarthy to

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 3: play well.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm saying?

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm not even asking you to accept

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: that and agree that that's what you want. But can

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: you understand my logic or do you think it's so illogical,

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: so preposterous and so oh we got to.

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Got a new line.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: I know.

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: We got to get Diego to do.

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: The common Man program Stupid on purpose with a purpose,

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: Sweatburg and I came up with that.

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: That's a good slogan for the show.

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: Don't you think the common man stupid on purpose with

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: a purpose?

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: You like it? Huh? Well, because we're stupid on purpose?

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Uh?

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Back when Sweedburg used to be our boss. I'd be like,

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: I think that's really funny, really great. I don't have

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: to say I have to do the robot voice. Yeah

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 2: you should.

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: In other words, you think I should send it to

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: rewrite and have him punch it up, because you get

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: my logic at all, ors it's just totally preposterous.

36
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: It's kind of freeing not to have to do the

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: robot voice.

38
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of nice. It's just because I

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: don't think I have.

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: To do it for my good friend Mitch Davis, who

41
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: took over as the uh whatever that long fancy titleist

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: senior or vice president of programming ont Minneapolis. Can you

43
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: understand my logic that I I mean, I want to

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: get like, the more games you lose, the higher your

45
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: draft pick. Yeah, that's I don't want them to be

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: too and I want McCarthy to make progress. He can

47
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: still Matt Stafford threw for six hundred yards last night

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: and lost. He played brilliantly. Why can't McCarthy throw for

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: six hundred yep, five hundred year throw for two fifty

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: three hundred again in a losing Ever, what's the big deal?

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Because here's the other thing I.

52
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Heard the SoundBite in there, so I can tell you're

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: not with me on this, right?

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Are you with me on this?

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: He said, like, we want to stack them in December

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: so we can fall back on that next year. Do

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: you believe that if they were to win some games

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 3: here in December that that benefits the team?

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: See, I don't believe that. I think each year.

60
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: Is so individualistic as we know of a different team. Yeah,

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: we were fourteen and three last year in the regular season.

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: This year, let's.

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Say we you know, we might be eight and nine

64
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: or nine and eight, right, And it's like, well, I

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: don't think. I don't think next year they're going to

66
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: be Week six and they're gonna be lined up and

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: the guy's gonna go, I remember December. It's in December

68
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: to remember. And then he thinks about the Lexus he

69
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: wants to buy.

70
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: But you see what I'm saying, I just don't think

71
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that anything.

72
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: It's like the contract, you know, it's like the distraction

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: is SO and So's contract. You know he's had a

74
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: stalemate like his Caprice offs contry.

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: You know he was waiting for that contract. Is it

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a distraction to the other player?

77
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: I don't think when bold he's skating down the right

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: side of the rink into the neutral zone. He's thinking, Man,

79
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: I wonder if Carell's gonna sign that dealer or not.

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: And then he loses the puck and then go the

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: other way and the other team scores. I don't believe

82
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: in any of that. I don't And I get, I mean,

83
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: you know, and the coach is saying what he has

84
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: to say, because that's what they have to say, But.

85
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't believe that in any way.

86
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: He loves saying in any way, in any way, shape

87
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: or form. He says that a lot. That's one of

88
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: his favorites, and I like that one as well. I

89
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: don't think in any way, shape or form does it

90
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: really benefit the team next year?

91
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, I understand the angle you're trying to go at. Okay,

92
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: my only count that would be I don't know how

93
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: much movement can be made, Oh, depending on winning or

94
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: losing with the draft picks, right, I mean, there's there's

95
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: six teams right now that are three to eleven, three

96
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: and eleven and worse. So like you ain't getting into

97
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: the top six right now. The Vikings are in the

98
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: eleven spot, right, so you're your three losses might get

99
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: you to go from eleven to nine, right, Like, it's not,

100
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: You're not. And even even after that bottom six, you

101
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: still have three more teams that are four and ten Bengals, Saints, Commanders. Like,

102
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: what are the odds those any of those three teams

103
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: are jumping? The Vikings not gonna happen. So you're not

104
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: getting into the top nine. So at this point you're

105
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: sweating pick eleven as opposed to pick fourteen, which sure,

106
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: I you know, I guess, Neil, would I rather have

107
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: the eleven pick them the fourteen pick? Of course, odds

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: are there's not going to be a huge difference in

109
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: a playmaker there where I'd still rather just you know,

110
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: see the progress within the team, specifically when you have

111
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: your young quarterback.

112
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: We might have to move up to get Pavilla, the

113
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: quarterback from Vanderbilt. The guy that said bleet the voters.

114
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: I just love that he just dialed that back. So

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: he back pedaled faster than Rosen because you know, a

116
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: handler said, ude, what are you doing?

117
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Dude?

118
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: The NFL teams don't want to draft up too.

119
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's probably not gonna he's kind of he's

120
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: I think he's shorter than I am, And you can

121
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 3: be short and play quarterback, but it's not ideal. Right,

122
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: the ideal quarterback now is what six three six, four, six,

123
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: five two twenty.

124
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: Those NFL linemen are taller than those college linemen.

125
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what they want. That's exactly right. So that's

126
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: what you want to see. Oh yeah, you've jam Moulin.

127
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: I want to win, then, I want to win. Now,

128
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: I guess I'm with you. Then I want to see

129
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: three wins in a row if we stack them.

130
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: You know, if we didn't have your potential franchise young quarterback,

131
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: then I would pay right. If Nick Mullins is playing

132
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: right now, I'd be like, lose them all.

133
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but.

134
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: I still not that you're gonna get You're gonna learn

135
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: everything about JJ McCarthy in the next three weeks, but

136
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: there still might be a decision to be made this

137
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: off season of the quarterback. So I need to get

138
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: every little piece of information I can out of him

139
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: to determine whether we want to go that route again,

140
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: or if we want to bring in some competition, or

141
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: if we want to go in a different direction.

142
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I guess My argument though, was that he

143
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 3: plays well and makes productcause like like Stafford last night. Now,

144
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: I'm yes, I'm comparing Stafford McCarthy. I was just comparing.

145
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: You could have a brilliant game and still lose. Stafford

146
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: lost last night in ot he threw for How about

147
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: nukah poknku How many did you see his night? He won?

148
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: Offer?

149
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 4: Was it two twive to tutties?

150
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: But that was I tell you what, you know a

151
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: little too much offense for me, right, I don't I

152
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: like defensive games, but that was highly entertaining and the

153
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 3: result couldn't have been better for me with the little

154
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: spread swing debate. Roseen and I remember going to take

155
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Chicago and then he started doing that Sam Donald's having

156
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: nightmares from what happened.

157
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Wha, well, wait a minute.

158
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: Now, I'm sure he was getting pretty haughty last night

159
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: in his own brain too, as that game.

160
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: Was going along.

161
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

162
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: Oh. We had a little back and forth which was fun. Well,

163
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: and I made the accusation yesterday. And I don't know

164
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: if you agree with this he wants I'm of the

165
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: opinion he does not want Donald's before more accidental looks

166
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: bad for Minnesota's.

167
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: I think that's a Minnesota fan mentality. That a lot

168
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: of them.

169
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, that's what that That's why he wanted, That's

170
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: why he was even in.

171
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: The Hughes trade. We will have the best player in

172
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: that trade. Yeah, I guarantee there's Minnesota sports fans cheering

173
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: against Zebu Yam moving forward, cheering against Marco Russ.

174
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Right because they don't want to make over. And we

175
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: got the worst end of that deal. So last night

176
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: I texted Roseen and tweeted, well, I tweeted, I think

177
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: Sam Donald's having nightmares from the Rams playoff game last year, right,

178
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: and then he texted me back right, Well, then you

179
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: saw what happened. I mean, Donald was he was real.

180
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean he threw an interception at the goal line.

181
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: He threw two bad interceptions. He got tricked by by

182
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator of the players two different times. One

183
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: was almost returned for a tuddy, the other one stopped

184
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: them at.

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: The goal line.

186
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: But then he was brilliant late in the game, got

187
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: a two touchdown. Well they got the return for one. Anyway,

188
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: long story short, I was able to text Roseen.

189
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: An tweet out.

190
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: I said, from nightmares to a dream come true, Old

191
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: Sam Donald had an arm ei e I and I

192
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: think that is big for this said. Now, they tried

193
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 3: to bait him into it last night. You know the

194
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: one thing that they do on on Netflix when they

195
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: do the games, they always they have their crew at

196
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: the stadium and there they bring up two players to

197
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 3: interview right after the game, after they get a chance

198
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: to put the locker room. And it was Donald and

199
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Nijigba last night, right, And they tried to get Donald

200
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: to do the old the ass good to get revenge,

201
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: I'd get the monkey off my back with the Rams,

202
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: and he wasn't having any part of it all.

203
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: He basically did that.

204
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: They're all a bit right, but I think I think

205
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: deep down that probably did me because that team, he

206
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: was one and four against the Rams, and he threw

207
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: four picks earlier this year. You saw what he did

208
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: last year in the play a playoff game against the Vikings.

209
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: So I think that was more of their offensive line.

210
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: But I think that that they said he couldn't win

211
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: a big game, that was the rap on him, right,

212
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: And you could make that argument. Now last night wasn't

213
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: a playoff game, and it wasn't, but it was a

214
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: big game. Huge, It's a huge regular season game and

215
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: he was. He was shaky, but you know I could

216
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: tell people. I don't have to break here, but you know,

217
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: people way through those two interceptions as well, there's only

218
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: a hand. I mean, yeah, he's not the best quarterback

219
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: in pro football.

220
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: He's not.

221
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: I who would say that. There's only you got Pat

222
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: Mahomes and Josh Allen and maybe one or two other guys,

223
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: and those are your top guys.

224
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Joe Burrow's there anymore.

225
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: I'm seen enough of Joe Burrow healthy to know how

226
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow can play. So you have different Not everybody

227
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: can have Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen, so you have to.

228
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: That's why they tier quarterbacks when they do those power rankings.

229
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: And so he's pretty good to.

230
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: Have on your club. He was good last night, and

231
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: they win the game. We'll take a break, we'll talk

263
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: Giants and the Metal Lands. This coming weekend, Sunday coverage

264

Speaker 3: twelve noon. Two teams going nowhere except home at the

266
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,360

267
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: They're not going to go anywhere else. They're in the

268
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: medal Lands. We'll have that game where we look for

269
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: progress from the from JJ McCarthy. Wild win again last

270
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: night Tennabee. It's like all they do is win. Yeah,

271
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: you know. I oftentimes during five to three four you'll

272
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: have a question that starts with trend of mirage. This

273
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: is this is a trend. You can't say this is

274
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: a mirage. I mean, we know things can change in

275
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: a hurry. We've seen it with this Wild club this

276
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: year and last year. Both started exactly the opposite and

277
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: kind of ended the opposite, right, you know, Great Star

278
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: Art then faded away.

279
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: This year we had a terrible start. Now we've come on.

280
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: But the trade I think obviously infused Hughes infuse some.

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Enthusiasm with the club. Everybody's excited about it, I mean

282
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: and I think the players all handle it right.

283
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: You know, three guys were traded from your current roster,

284
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 3: and you're all teammates and your brothers, and you're all

285
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: for one and one for all, and you don't step

286
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: on the logo on the carpet in the middle of

287
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 3: the of the locker room, and you know, you don't

288
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: want to say, oh, yes, we got this guy's worth

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: three more week were so you know, you want to

290
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: say you're happy he's here, but you don't want to.

291
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: You know, you do miss your guys.

292
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: But I think I think anybody would would are I

293
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: think you could make the argument and no one could

294
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: argue with you that the team's better with Hughes.

295
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: Though. Now last night one shot on goal, no no goals,

296
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: no assists. Did we really need them?

297
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: Yes?

298
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: They need Okay, well, especially with the amount of injuries

299
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: they have right now on that blue line alone, they're

300
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: without four defensemen. So Quinn Hughes had to pick up

301
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: the amount of minutes. You know, he typically he's a

302
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: twenty five minute a game night, twenty five minutes a

303
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: night kind of person, and he's had to play twenty

304
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: nine ish for you the last couple of games because

305
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: they are just Dustmand right now. Brodein's out and Middleton's out,

306
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: and Bog's out and Damon Hunts out. So they're playing

307
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: your Carson Lambos made his NHL debut last night. It

308
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: seems like half their roster is the Iowa Wild right now.

309
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: And that's what makes us run even more impressive, is

310
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: they're I could. I don't want to get two skate

311
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: rits like here, but it's the thought of what's going

312
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: to happen when this team, if they ever get fully healthy,

313
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: and how they're going to look. Right now, you have

314
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: Trenion on your second line and Tarasenko on your second

315
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: line and playing some guys in your bottom six that

316
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: should be in Iowa. Half your decour should be in Iowa.

317
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: And all they do is continue to win. And after

318
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: seeing Quinn Hughes now for a stretch the last two games,

319
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: they've had a line of Caprice Off Bowldy, Eric Sineck together,

320
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: You're with and Tarasenko, right, yeah, I know, I'm just

321
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: talking about like the main five, right those three and

322
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: then they put Quinn, Hughes and brock Favor on the

323
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: ice together, So all five of those guys your best

324
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: five players are on the ice together, they look unstoppable.

325
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't spend a lick in their own zone.

326
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: They have the fuck in the And it's so weird

327
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: to say this as a Wild fan, like our high

328
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: end guyser as good as anyone's now, Okay, Like, I mean,

329
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: if you took the top top three forwards and top

330
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: two defenseman on any given team in the National Hockey League,

331
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: we're right up there with any of them. And I've

332
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: never said that as a Minnesota Wild fan. And once

333
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: you get some health back and get some depth to

334
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: go along with it, that's just going to supplement even more.

335
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: And then the goaltending has been good again. I mean

336
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: we've all said was solid last night. It's hard not

337
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: to be excited as a Wild fan now this. This

338
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: team's got a lot of potential this season.

339
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: When the forwards regained their health. Do you split up,

340
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: You're off Trendon and Tarasenko. They've been have they not?

341
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: Ah, Man, it's hard to say. It's weird to say because.

342
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: Tarasenko is he's beating father time.

343
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you're off in and Tarasenko combined for

344
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: three goals two games ago and then last night, they

345
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: had a beautiful goal on a three on two rush

346
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: just tic tac toe Tarasenko puts.

347
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: In the net.

348
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to keep those three together forever, but

349
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: the last couple of games have been very nice, and

350
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: what they've gotten ont of Tarasenko these last two games,

351
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: if they get that moving forward. But you know, this

352
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: is a team that once you get healthy, and I

353
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: don't think they're done before the trade deadline. I think

354
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: you are still going to try to add offense. I mean,

355
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: your blue line's good and your goaltending is good. I

356
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: think you still want to add a little more offensive

357
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: punch average.

358
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: You might go.

359
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know how many assets they have

360
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: to give anymore, because they've given up a lot of

361
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: assets the last couple of years for your check and

362
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 2: then Quinn hughes. But I when salar cap wise, they

363
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: should be fine at least for this season to still

364
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: be able to go out and get a big salary guy.

365
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: So I think they can still add because they're they're

366
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: proving they can contend for the Cup.

367
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: Someone sent a TEXTI.

368
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: Says Quinn said a career high for a time on

369
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: the ice. Last night, there was a career high for

370
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: him he had, really somebody said it was thirty two minutes?

371
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: Is that thirty two last night?

372
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: What somebody said? And that's a career high for him?

373
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, if I had couldn't use I throw I throw

374
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: him over the boards every other shift too.

375
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, See if you can answer

376
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: this question. Riddle me this.

377
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: You mentioned when our top five players are on where

378
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: basically nothing's going to stop us. Now they're star we

379
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: should should we just start calling them the starship line?

380
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Let's do that?

381
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 4: And they are a bunch of stars.

382
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: Well, they sing together when the starship line is on

383
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: the ice. If you're an if you're the opponent, let's

384
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: say you're the coach that to be the other club,

385
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: what do you do to try.

386
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: To You know you can't shut them down, but what

387
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: do you do to slow them up? What do you do?

388
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: You put your best line against them? Do you rough

389
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: them up? Not necessarily cheap shop and try to get physical?

390
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: What can a team do in an effort to try to.

391
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't mean, I don't mean to take the easy

392
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: way out on your question. It all depends on what

393
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: your personnel is on that team. Right, Clearly, you're putting

394
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: your best defensive defenseman out against them. If you are

395
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: a team right like the Wild can throw Jewel Eric

396
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: Sack out against If you're going up against Connor McDavid,

397
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: who's overrated, you throw Eric's neck over the boards.

398
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: He's your best checking center, right.

399
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you got you better have players that

400
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: are accustomed to playing in their own zone and aren't

401
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: going to panic in your own zone and aren't going

402
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 2: to turn the puck over when they get it.

403
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if the parade will go over. I

404
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: we'll go from Saint Paul to Mineapolis. I think this

405
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: include both cities. But we want to be the beginning

406
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: of the parade or the end of the parade, because

407
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: the end of the parade will they'll end at Saint

408
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: Paul right at Grand Casino Arena.

409
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: I would think, so, so do you and I want.

410
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: To be at the end of the parade or where

411
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: it begins, or somewhere in the middle beginning of the

412
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: middle of the end.

413
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: I think I want to be at the very end.

414
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 4: I think you'll be leading the bandwagon's way.

415
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: You'll be done, you know, That's how That's how I roll.

00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: I've been waiting. I'm just so happy that it happened

435
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: early because it's one I've been waiting for. I really

436
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: thought Kennesau State would be able to give Western Michigan

437
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: everything they wanted, but apparently Western Michigan has taken anything

438
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: they wanted three fifty to go clock running. I think

439
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: they're on running time now tennabe Western Michigan slightly edging

440
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 3: Kennesau State.

441
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: Already one to six.

442
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: Is anybody I wish they would show a shot of

443
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: the stands?

444
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: I guarantee it's not even a quarter fall, right, because.

445
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: I don't think there's enough people that live wherever Kennesaw

446
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: State or Western Michigan is located that could even fill

447
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 3: the stands.

448
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: And then there's just small little communities, college towns.

449
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: It's basically just guys that were there on golf trips

450
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: in Myrtle Beach to go, oh, there's football game. Now,

451
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 2: we got nothing to do for the next couple of hours. Correct,

452
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: that's those are the only people that showed up.

453
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they're if they even showed up, but that

454
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 3: would be it.

455
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right.

456
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,520

Speaker 3: part of the club will pay down that debt. It's

470
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: also announced that Tom Polett, the older brother to Joe,

471
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: would be and I think Jim's son one of that

472
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: one one one of the track, but he's one of

473
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: the sons of the one of the Rob, Chip and Ernie,

474
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: the three the sons of Carl Polett and Tom is

475
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: taking over. He's older brother to Joe. He succeeded his

476
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: brother as the family member overseeing the Twins organization and then,

477
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: pending Major League Baseball approval, he will replace his uncle

478
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: Jim as the franchisees control person to serve as the

479
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 3: primary lie. He's on a Major League Baseball so he's

480
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: taken and putting a lot on his plate. What I

481
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: found interesting to I mean, I actually admire Tom for

482
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: this in the pole Ad family.

483
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: Here's what he said.

484
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: It's been a hard It's been hard on our family,

485
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: this decision to make a transition within our family has

486
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: been extremely difficult. It's been hard on the relationship between

487
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: Joe and myself. It's been especially hard on my dad

488
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: and my two uncles. All Joe ever wanted was to

489
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: be part of this organization and to lead it and

490
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: help this franchise win a world championship. Things change, we

491
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: have to make a decision as a family. He understands.

492
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: He has been graceful, kind and believes that whatever is

493
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: in the best interest of the organization is best.

494
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: That's pretty forthcoming.

495
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: I mean they're basically saying they basically went to Joe

496
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: and said you're out. Yeah, it's not working, You're done.

497
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: It was hard on Joe. He wanted that job. He

498
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 3: loved that matter. I remember when they were when they

499
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: announced they were selling the team. I don't know if

500
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 3: it was right away he said this, but sometime during

501
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: the time when they first announced it to where they

502
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: got now where they decided not to sell the team,

503
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, we'd like to sell, but I want

504
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: to keep running it. This is what he wanted to do,

505
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: and they could have easily just said, ah, Joe didn't

506
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: want to do it anymore.

507
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to step back from it.

508
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm saying to protect him because it's

509
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: I'm not saying necessarily it's embarrassing, but he was devoted.

510
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: You're not going to do it anymore after a short time,

511
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: after a very short period of time, and so I thought,

512
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: at least so if there is fourth coming there, hopefully

513
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: the organization now being led by Tom pole Ed will

514
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 3: be as is open and honest.

515
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: With the fans. As a matter of fact, he says that. Later,

516
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: he says, quote, we've got to do a better job.

517
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: We've got to do a better job.

518
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: Of telling fans where we're going, how we're going to

519
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: get there, and why we're doing the things we're doing.

520
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: I commit to that going forward.

521
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: So again he's he's promising committing to it. Complete transparency, communication, communication,

522
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: though there's some of it here though that I am.

523
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: He goes on to say, we're in it for the

524
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: long haul, adding that the Major League Baseball approval process

525
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: led the delay before Wedness Day's a minority minority ownership

526
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: revealed Pull that family accumulated five hundred million. I'm reading

527
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: from a fisherp factory West side story. Pull that family

528
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: accumulated five hundred million in debt, about a third of

529
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: the team's market value while running the Twins that swelled

530
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: over the past five years. The two biggest culprits and

531
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: declining revenues were ticket sales, particularly during the COVID effected

532
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: seasons from twenty twenty to twenty twenty one, and they

533
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: lost their regional sports network TV deal which ended them

534
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 3: fifty four point eight million in twenty twenty three. Tom

535
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: goes on to say, we have chosen for some time

536
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: now to continue to invest beyond with the revenue support.

537
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: People like to say we're not committed to investing in

538
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: this team. Five hundred million dollars of debt would tell

539
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: you exactly the opposite. That's how the debt got to

540
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: where it is. Well, did it or was it because

541
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: more of COVID, You know what I'm saying, It wasn't

542
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: you know. I think that had more to do with

543
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: it than anything. They just the revenues weren't there. But

544
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: he says the sale process led to a lot of

545
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: self reflection among the family members about what needs to

546
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: change with how they run the organization. He says, it's

547
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: undeniable that we haven't won enough baseball games. The financial

548
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 3: health of the club has been put in jeopardy, and

549
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 3: we've got a fan base that has lost trust in

550
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: us as owners and as a result is organization and

551
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: the direction is headed with the conclusion of the transaction,

552
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: now is the time to put new leadership in place

553
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: and a renewed sense of energy, renewed sense of focus,

554
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 3: a different level of accountability, and ultimately a clearer direction

555
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: on where we're taking this organization. Now. Of course, some

556
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 3: of you've heard the old cliche talk is cheap, so

557
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: you can say all this, will see where it leads.

558
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: Because he does talk about.

559
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Spending money.

560
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: He says, we certainly are within reach of winning a

561
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: division title. He thinks right now they are within reach

562
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: of winning a division title. Will continue to look at

563
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 3: moves we can make that will help us accomplish that.

564
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: Then the question was asked in the piece by the

565
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: fish Rap, why not put more money towards the payroll

566
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: to give the roster a better chance of winning in

567
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six.

568
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: Here's what he says.

569
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't think the landscape what I see right now

570
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: that we should put a significant investment into the team

571
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: of adding fifty to sixty million dollars to the payroll.

572
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 3: But I don't think we're far off from that. He

573
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 3: plans to be an active owner, but noted he will

574
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: leave baseball decision making to team president Derek Faldy in

575
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 3: general manager Jeremy Zohle.

576
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: So what he's.

577
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: Saying is, if I, if I can interpret, this, doesn't

578
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: seem like it's too difficult. Well, they're they're willing to

579
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 3: spend more money. Again, they just don't think now is

580
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 3: the right time. But if you think you can compete

581
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: for a division title, which he just said, wouldn't that

582
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: be the time to invest. So that's what that's to me.

583
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: That's that doesn't make any sense. That's what to me,

584
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: there's a bit of a disconnect between me and what

585
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: he says. I liked everything else he was saying. I

586
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: like being forthcoming and if they really, you know, if

587
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: what he said in these quotes i've read, if he

588
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: really means all that. But to me, I don't understand

589
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: that if you think you can compete for a division

590
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: title as it stands, then why wouldn't you buttress the

591
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 3: payroll with some extra money and add add some other players?

592
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Right then? That seems like it would only make sense.

593
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

594
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: I think the competing for division title is one of

595
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: the those cliches you used because you want season ticket

596
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: holders to renew and you want to make sure you

597
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: have butts in the seats. But when you send as

598
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: many players away as it did last year, that's not

599
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: a one year turnaround, right. You're bringing in a bunch,

600
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: You're bringing in a bunch of prospects in return. Those

601
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: guys aren't just going to be ready in twenty twenty

602
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: six to contribute at a major league level before.

603
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: That's a two, three, four of you process.

604
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: Here's what Elsie said, and this kind of dovetails a

605
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: little bit with what I was talking about with the Vikings,

606
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: going back to you know when you decided after the

607
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: Sam Donald year you went fourteen and three.

608
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 1: We know they lost to the kiddies.

609
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: Donald was bad, got clobbered by the Rams and the playoffs,

610
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: and Donald didn't play well.

611
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: But I think more than anything, that had a lot

612
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: to do with the offensive line.

613
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: But it says you're the Twins signaled the teams at

614
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: the end of November, after conversations with their ownership structure,

615
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: they plan to keep their all star our players. It's

616
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: the quote needle that we're trying to thread between field

617
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 3: and a competitive team next year while shifting to a

618
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: younger core of the roster. Paul Out goes on to say,

619
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: there was probably an argument to tear the whole thing down,

620
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: get as much value as you can for our players,

621
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: and really put an emphasis on two years from now

622
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: or three years from now.

623
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: On paper.

624
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that makes sense, but you can't just look

625
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: at things on paper. We owe the fan base something,

626
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: we owe a veteran and star player something, We owe

627
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: this organization something, and that's something as hope. So they're

628
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: selling hope, as I've talked about many many times. That's

629
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: what all professional sports teams sell as at hope. You

630
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: hope they have a good draft, You hope they have

631
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: a good free agency, you have I hope they have

632
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: a good oda, you hope they have good mini camps,

633
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: good pre season, blah blah blah. And then you change

634
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: it to baseball, hockey, basketball, whatever the case may be.

635
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: But you know, when he says we owe it to

636
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: our fan base, we owe our veteran and star player something.

637
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: And that's what I was talking about. Remember when we discussed, well,

638
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: you can say, you know we're going to play McCarthy

639
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna and we're he's going to just have

640
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: to learn as we go. But you have veteran players

641
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: on that team, including Justin Jefferson, who has taken this.

642
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: All very well, at least publicly.

643
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: He's not made, he's not pouted, he's not complained, he

644
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: hasn't done the divas stuff. He hasn't asked out, and

645
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: I believe that's how he really feels. But that's what

646
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: we were talking about. When you know, and there are

647
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: people that when I would discuss that with me, they'd

648
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: just say, too bad for you. You know, you just tell

649
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: the players, too bad, you know, suck it up.

650
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: This is what the organization is going to do, which

651
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: is true. The organization can do whatever they want.

652
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: But that's dangerous if you start looking at guys that

653
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: they're laying it online, guys in the trading room, guys

654
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: that are trying to play for extra contracts they want

655
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: to win, and all of a sudden, you know, hell, sorry,

656
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: our quarterback's been really bad. It's going to take you know,

657
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna make at least a year, year and a half,

658
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: maybe two years for him to get to get any good.

659
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: You owe to the fan base, you owe to the organization,

660
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: you owe to the veteran players. So it's a delicate

661
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: dance you're doing. I get that, and he's a admitting

662
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: to that right now. So we'll see where it goes.

663
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I don't know anything about

664
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: Tom pull out other than what I read here.

665
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: Sure, but it does seem like this.

666
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: Is a move that need to be made because Joe

667
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: just wasn't getting it done when he did the old.

668
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: What did he say? What was it? The right sizing

669
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: the payroll?

670
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: Remember when when that quote came out, that's the one

671
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: that hung with him forever and it really made fans

672
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: bitter about right sizing the payroll.

673
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, and then the other and you mentioned this one

674
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: before when they originally said they were going to sell

675
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: the team, and then the reports came out that he

676
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: would still like to run the Yeah, he'd like to

677
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: run the club even they're going to sell to somebody else.

678
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's just the guy who doesn't he doesn't

679
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 2: get it.

680
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. And so.

681
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: Now what And to your point on Tom, you got

682
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: to follow through with everything where he's saying. But I

683
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: think at least what Tom appears to be recognizing is

684
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: is there's a huge disconnect between our organization in the

685
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: fans right now, the bigest, the biggest it's ever been,

686
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: and we need to do everything we can clean them

687
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: back up now. I also do think the fans are

688
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: so disconnected that I think other than spending money on players,

689
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they're ever going to believe in you again. Yeah,

690
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: and are the poloads going to be willing to do that?

691
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: The only way without spending money on players if some

692
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: of these young guys come up right away and make

693
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: immediate impacts, because they did, I saw it again, I

694
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: don't know where I And again I have to take

695
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: the I have to take the people that I trust.

696
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: I have to take their word for when you because

697
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: I've read in several different places, I think both Fish Raps,

698
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 3: the Athletic and other places that the Twins have been

699
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: rated as the second best, you know, as far as

700
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 3: accumulation of young talent.

701
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: Their minor league system is ranked number two right now

702
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: with prospects.

703
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: Well they should be with how many they trade exactly

704
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: and the ones they had before the trades, but the

705
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: people they acquired. So let's just and and again you

706
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: and I have had discussion. You can have ten highly

707
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: regarded prospects. How many of those ten, what percentage of

708
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: those will end up being superstar players?

709
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: Maybe one?

710
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: How many will be just good quality players that will

711
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: be mainstays in the lineup for six seven years?

712
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: Maybe two more right? Maybe?

713
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: And how many of the pitchers? Maybe one guy? So

714
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 3: it and I don't know if those odds are you

715
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: could hit the jackpot. You could have ten guys and

716
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 3: eight of them are superstars and then you're in business.

717
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 3: So you're right unless they spend money or they bring

718
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 3: up five young guys this year and they're all get

719
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: off to great starts, and you're just doing the old Godwards.

720
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: A young team, we're playing well, we got great guys.

721
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 3: And then if they did what the Wild just did

722
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: by trading for Quinn Hughes, if they went out then

723
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: made a trade and said, because remember we waited for

724
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: that all the time when those teams were winning division

725
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: titles back in the in the odds.

726
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: What they didn't do was when it came to trade deadline, they.

727
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: Rarely, they rarely tried to make the team better with

728
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 3: a major trade.

729
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 4: They did, so they could have used to Bill garn

730
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 4: back then.

731
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, they could have used a really big and you

732
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: know what, that still might not have worked. We know that,

733
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: that's the argument from the poll at Pocket Protectors. Spending

734
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: money on guys doesn't guarantee anything. Well, yeah, but it

735
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: still gives you a better chance if that guy pans

736
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: out so.

737
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: Well, even to go to the Wild, even if the

738
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: Quinn Hughes thing's completely falls apart, I think everyone in

739
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 2: the Wild fan base goes respect you going up to

740
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: the plate and swinging right right. Even the Perezy suitor

741
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 2: thing right now? Was that as bad as maybe we

742
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: think about them, You know, they were basically a playoff

743
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: team for eight years in a row and had a

744
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 2: shot and obviously did not end well. But I still

745
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 2: think most Wild then goes, I like that Chuck Fletcher

746
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: took a shot on that day.

747
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: And that's the way I felt about the Goldbart deal.

748
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: How many times, I know, I repeat myself all the time,

749
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: but I said, I don't know if it's gonna work,

750
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: but as bad as this team has been hot.

751
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: I repeat myself.

752
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, I repeat myself.

753
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: I was.

754
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: I'm all four got to try something that the franchise

755
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: has been so inept and so unsuccessful. We had that

756
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: stretch where we had, you know, under McHale and Flip,

757
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: where we went to the playoffs like seven times in

758
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: a row, but we were one and done all seven

759
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: of those, and so and so Conley hard to argue.

760
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, we got bounced in the Western

761
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: Conference finals, and we really weren't that far out.

762
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: Of winning those.

763
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 3: We just needed to win three more games and not

764
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 3: lose four. We lost four games to one in each one,

765
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: but at least the team got to the West but

766
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: they hadn't been there. They'd only been there once two

767
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 3: thousand and three dollars back to back years.

768
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: So you're right.

769
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm the same way with Garan. If it let's say

770
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: it looks like we're going to qualify the playoff, I mean,

771
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 3: we have to be complete and total collapse.

772
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: But let me make the plays.

773
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: And let's say we get out of the first round

774
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: this year and then losing the second can or get

775
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 3: to the conference finals and lose, and then let's say

776
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: Hughes decides I.

777
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: Really want to play with my brothers.

778
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm not signing, okay, but at least they like you say,

779
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: they took a chance because you can. There's no guarantees

780
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: in any of these draft picks, these trades.

781
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: Any of this.

782
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 3: There's no guarantee because we don't know how good. What's

783
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: the ceiling for all these guys? How many of these

784
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: guys can, like we say with the Twins farm system,

785
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: how many of those guys wanted to be players that

786
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 3: you can count on year after year for like I say,

787
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: six seven years. So I yeah, I love the trade

788
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 3: that guarant did. I love what Conley did, and I

789
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 3: like what Tom pol At has said.

790
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: But you know, the old actions speak louder than words.

791
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes.

792
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: By the way, you made the comment of you know,

793
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: what if Quinn leaves in Moscow play with his brothers.

794
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: What if his brothers want to come play with Quinn? Oh,

795
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: you've not.

796
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: Seen nothing like the mighty Quinn. That could be.

797
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: What if they go, man on that Minnesota looks like

798
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: a fun place to play. They got to got themselves

799
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: a team, Let's go go, let's go.

800
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: There are are both those guys?

801
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: How good are they? I know they're not his count?

802
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 1: Are they both?

803
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 4: Jack is pretty good?

804
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: Okay?

805
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say Luca is the lessest least of the three.

806
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Quin Quin's an absolute stud. He's a right top two defenseman,

807
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: top ten.

808
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 4: Player in the league.

809
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,479
Speaker 2: Jack is one of the best young players in the league,

810
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: so he'd be worth having.

811
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: And I think his contract's up in three years, I think,

812
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 4: is what I heard. And then that's what is it?

813
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so three or four years, you know, with Quinn,

814
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: I think people are worried how you get to this

815
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: offseason and he's not going to want to resign here.

816
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 2: I think it's possible Quinn matches up his contract with

817
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: Jack so that they hit free agency at the same time.

818
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: So you might get like a short extension here. Okay,

819
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: see how it goes right, right, And if you like

820
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: it and the team's you know, contending for Cups every

821
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: year and got to self a chance, then you might

822
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: stay here and try to bring your brother Jack here.

823
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: They're terrible owners. They've created this.

824
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 3: It was their own doing, and they've done it systematically

825
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: over the last twenty five years. Hold On, they had

826
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 3: an opportunity to expand the fan base when Target Field open.

827
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: They've squandered every opportunity they've been presented. The failure of

828
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 3: their ownership will be taught in business schools. Someday I

829
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: can't argue that he said. But and that's why I

830
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 3: set actions. I just at least I like what pole

831
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: Ads said. That's what I'm saying is I've never seen

832
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: this franchise, this fourth coming. They've denied all that. You know,

833
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: they've always tried to act like, oh no, you know.

834
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 4: It's just worth smalling limits on the payroll.

835
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we don't put limits on the payroll. And

836
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: you know we're just a small market. We're fighting the

837
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: uphel Battle of Alemion.

838
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: That could at least Tom's saying, we know we've let

839
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 3: the fans down, the organization.

840
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Down, we know they hate us.

841
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: It's basically he's admitting everything and whether the one thing,

842
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: like I say is yeah, we're gonna we're gonna bump

843
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 3: up the payroll someday it's like yeah. So again it's

844
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: like okay, that's that's where he kind of loses me

845
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: a little bit. But we'll we'll see how it goes.

846
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, I for me, more than anything was when

847
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: they basically said joint cutting it, because that's what he made.

848
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: That's what they said, joint cutting it. I got to

849
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 3: take over it's it's time to set there. There needs

850
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: to be somebody else, because it doesn't sound like Tom wanted.

851
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 3: From what I understand about is it was Tom or Joe.

852
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: I think it was Tom.

853
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: He spent he went to like Boston College, and he

854
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: spent a year. Rosen used to watch him in study

855
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: hall because he had a Boston College student Cam as well.

856
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: And and Tom I think spent like a year like

857
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: interning with Major League Baseball or something like that.

858
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: So and then that's really not what he wanted to do.

859
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: Not everybody wants to be.

860
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: In the in in in you know, in in in

861
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: the family business. I'd love to be running a club

862
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: for myself, but I would have got let go to

863
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: because I would have I would I spent all.

864
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: That would get a little awkward at Christmas in the

865
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: family holidays though, And well I just took over for

866
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 2: you because you weren't very good at your job.

867
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: And like he even as I in that quote, as

868
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: we saw, I mean it was he said, it's been

869
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: difficult between me and my brother.

870
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they should have just sold the team.

871
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they probably should have. But there's where we

872
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 3: are now. Oh, we'll take about Western Michigan still leads
