Speaker 2: before we get to the return of the emotional maternity inbox.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: This is from nine fift two.

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: Guy, call me cynical, but if I gets another round

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: of funding from the Democrats, I'll probably just turn around

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and do this in a different city.

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be at all stunned by that.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: And I'll say again, as much as the folks on

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: the right are not gonna want to hear it, or

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: we'll certainly not agree with it, or at least some

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: of them, that's the victory for the pushback that's taking

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: place on the streets Indeapolis and Saint Paul.

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: That goes back to the politics of it.

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: The look got so bad that even Trump's Bobo.

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: Said, we got to get out of there.

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Let's fit, Let's find some other place where maybe there'll

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: be a little less pushback than there. I honestly believe

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: the concerted nature and the tenacious nature of the pushback

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: is a significant part of the reason that this thing's

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: being drawn down, If it indeed gets drawn down to

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: the degree that was announced today, I think that's a

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: significant part of the story, don't you.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And even moving to a different city is one thing,

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: because they probably will I think, I think.

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't think's any reason to think.

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: That they're not going to go with the same approach

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: they wanted to come in here with scorched earth. But

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I think eventually what happened here is there was so

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: much pushback that then you had these scenes take place. Sadly,

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: you had death, you had killings, And I think that

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: goes back to the politics of it. That's the only

36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: thing individuals like this are going to understand. It's too

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: bad a look. It might actually cause us some votes,

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: so we'll make broad proclamations. Wait, we did what we

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: came here to do. We did exactly what we came here.

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Everything's fine, and we're gonna still be on you. But

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: I think so I share that individual's I guess a skepticism.

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: How are we doing on the volume? Will we decent?

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: We're decent, okay, and we can always improve some time

44
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: for people to get used to it again. I agree,

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: we're decent and we can always improve, and as always,

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: we can take them during the segment. There's nothing that

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: prohibits someone from sending a doctor Dan's letter to j

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: G atcaffean dot com right now and getting read.

49
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: Before we are done. Should we do it? Yeah, let's start.

50
00:02:52,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Oh that music, it's been a while. We like to

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: do it on Thursdays, usually right around four thirty. Today

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier because I got to go to

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: the barn. Oh good for me, dear doctor Dan.

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Boy.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: If I missed the Twin Cities and especially the m Vikings.

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: I called it my.

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: Home for a few years before I took a two

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: year sabbatical. In those two years, I realized what home

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: really means. It means all of you.

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: I know.

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I commented when I left it wasn't about the money,

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: but about what the money represented.

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: I've seen the airs in my thought process.

64
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: I want to get back to where people shovel my driveway,

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: where I can wear chains with no shirt on and

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: not get mocked and pass to the best receiver in

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: the league. Please welcome me back with open arms and

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: maybe a starting job at quarterback. In twenty million dollars guaranteed, sincerely,

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: k Cousins.

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: Well you know that.

71
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this one up, or we got

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: this letter because I was listening to the Project this morning.

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: And Liber stopped by. I can't remember.

74
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: If Pa said this or Liber said it, Well, what

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: do you make of it?

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: Because the opinion was if, in the end, because you don't.

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: Have that many other options, and several of them are

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: going to be viable, it's Kirk Cousins coming back here.

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: The suggestion was he's not coming back here to compete

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: for the job. He is here because he will be

81
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: told and will expect that he will start the off

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: season whenever he gets signed here when he comes back

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: as the number one quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: I heard Pa and Zardo they discussed that yesterday as well,

85
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: and I was shocked because of how certain because Pa said, well,

86
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: if he's coming, he's not coming to back up, it's

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm getting the job.

88
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: So he said the same thing.

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well yesterday, Yeah, yesterday they talked about it

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: as well, and I was stunned by that, and maybe

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have been.

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have assumed that. But I don't know

93
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: if I'm on board with that either.

94
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: I would not be that.

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I am utterly and completely not on board with it.

96
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: Cousins has no leverage at this point in his career. Sorry,

97
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: I I you know, I know APPE a lot of

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: a couple of games late last season, so he still

99
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: had I'm not put.

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: It this way.

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: You can assign, you can give him the leverage if

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: you choose to, But A, I don't think he's gonna

103
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: have that many choices, and B as much as I've

104
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: said you got it, you do have to head your bet.

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm not so anti JJ McCarthy that I'm saying he

106
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have a right this coming.

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Season and compete for the job.

108
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: For me, it's always been will you be willing to

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: say the job is open?

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: Right?

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: That's very different to me than you know, call Kirk

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Cousins and saying it's your job. I Kirk Cousins is

113
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: at the end end, right, and I'm not even convinced

114
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: he can hold up. But whatever he is at this point,

115
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: and obviously he's more accomplished as a pro quarterback than

116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, I'm not willing to see that much power

117
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: to him. I don't now maybe that means you maybe

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: he's right. Maybe he's right, and that means you lose

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: him to someplace else that's willing.

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: But is there is there really a team?

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't think there's that

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: many teams that are automatically going to say to Kirk Cousins,

123
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: come on in and you're our number one quarterback.

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to do that, are you? No? I

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: don't think I am.

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: No.

127
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: I'd have to know. It's now circus this way.

128
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I get it training camp every day the Jackals, it's

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: it's red meat every day. Who took the lead? Or

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: where is this going? Or when are you going to decide?

131
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: Right and make the announcement? And that's not any fun

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: for an organization or head coach. But you reput you

133
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: saw and I think that's to me, that's hedging the bet.

134
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: To me, doesn't mean handing the job to anybody. Unless

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you can get Joe Burrow.

136
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: That would be the guy.

137
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: And frankly, even though this isn't gonna happen, you probably

138
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: would have to do that with Aaron Rodgers just because

139
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of his nature. But I don't even think that probably

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: makes all that much sense at this point to say, JJ,

141
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: you're you're not You don't even have a.

142
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: Chance to compete for the job this year.

143
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's a message I'm willing to convey.

144
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: Five to one. That was a nice tick tack toe

145
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: right there. That looked good.

146
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Then another can chuck goal. No, yeah, stars are coming out.

147
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: We got a good team. Are you familiar with.

148
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: The uh the old la roja tik taka offense?

149
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you taught it to me. This looks like tiki

150
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: taka on ice to me right now, it's just flowing.

151
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: The puck is moving five to one USA or latvia second.

152
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: This is actually the third period.

153
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: Now, Dear doctor dan I recently had to throw my

154
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: GM under the bus and a toss that was better

155
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: than any I made during my own short playing career.

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: Now my owners are going to find another GM, and

157
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm probably going to be involved in the process of

158
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: picking my new boss. My question is, could you put

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: me in touch with c Carter so he could introduce

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: me to a new fall guy, because I think I

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: will need another one if I go yet another season

162
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: without a playoff win from k O'Connell.

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: Oh that's I'm still doctor dan Is eager for k

164
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: O'Connell's first public pronouncements. They'll probably be at the Comboy.

165
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: I guess there would be a lot of words salad.

166
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: But you know, he has not emerged publicly since the

167
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: big announcement, right because he wasn't at that pressure, was he?

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: No, it was the Wolf's correct, correct. I'm pretty sure

169
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: I'll speak. I think it was just a zoom too.

170
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: Wasn't it was a zoom?

171
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

172
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: He might be right.

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't rememberbe it was a press converse. Whatever it was,

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: there was no one else involved. Yeah, that's always the

175
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: danger when you fire somebody. There are legitimate reasons, I think,

176
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: to make a move at GM. We know about all

177
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: those We've talked about them for weeks draft related. The

178
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: numbers speak for themselves, but be careful on the fall guy.

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: Think My guess though, now, is that koc has to

180
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: be smart enough to know that he's on the clock.

181
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: Whether that's fair given the team's record, Oh guess what

182
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean? The GM had the same regular season record,

183
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: very good one. So I have to think he realizes

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: that if he's not on thin ice, he's not in

185
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: a position where he's going to be able to identify

186
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: another fall guy, especially when it comes to the quarterback position,

187
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be very much on him, even more

188
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: than Roberzinski in the short term for sure. And that's

189
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: where it's a vital decision on what you do, who

190
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: else you bring in, and how you decide whether you're

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: going to anoint anybody or you're going to just live

192
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: with the circus that exists when you have a wide

193
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: open quarterback competition, because that does not happen often in

194
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League, It really doesn't. No, that's true.

195
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: How you want to straddle and come back with Yeah,

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,080

Speaker 2: dot comic. The keyword calendar.

208
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: Just because Cousins is toltal to be the starting quarterback

209
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he would have to be the starting

210
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: quarterback ex. Atlanta Falcons. That's the Charlie. Yeah, maybe that's

211
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: the bit. Maybe that's what they're thinking about on the project.

212
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Is he felt, you know, kind of conspired against set

213
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: up in Atlanta and that he's gonna be on He's

214
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: gonna be on his toes.

215
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: That I'm not going to go through that again.

216
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to come back into a situation where

217
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't have more of a guarantee. I just like

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: I said, I there are people who say that he

219
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: has great leverage because the Vikings don't have a quarterback

220
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: right now, one that's proven.

221
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: I guess that's true.

222
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: And there are quarterbacks again, even veteran quarterbacks, that I'd

223
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: be willing to go that far with. But I maybe

224
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm underrating number eighteen. Would he be number eight if

225
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: he came back here again? But I don't have the

226
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: appetite to make it to hand the job to him.

227
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: I don't now.

228
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: Maybe I mean, I think there's a good chance he

229
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: would win it in training camp. Frankly, but it's a

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: way you can go. I guess you can flat out say,

231
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: here's what we're doing with JJ. We are not giving

232
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: up on him, but his job is going to be

233
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: to work behind whoever we bring in, including a wily

234
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: veteran like Kirk Cousins. And he's going to learn a

235
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: lot working with Kirk. Although it doesn't didn't he doesn't

236
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: work on Tuesdays? Is he?

237
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, didn't he take an extra day off a week Cousins? Oh,

238
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: he took the day off. Yes, Tuesday was the players

239
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: off that right, He took it to the extreme.

240
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: We have quarterbacks aren't supposed to do that, though they're

241
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: not supposed to he did. But he wanted to go

242
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: for a walk with Jules. Yeah, I don't, uh huh,

243
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: because she never really bothered me. But no, that wasn't that.

244
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: He probably scanned some film Jeff and Monticello. KOC will

245
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: be providing a veritable Caesar salad now.

246
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: That he's top of the heat. Very well played. I

247
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: like that too.

248
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: Maybe start calling him Caesar Salad guy, AOC Caesar salad guy.

249
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: That'll make it. That'll be fun.

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: He'll probably bring you a Caesar salad then to the

251
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: perch instead of water this year?

252
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Do you have the Latvian translation for butt kicking? I don't,

253
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: but I'll get it by the end, if you can

254
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: get it by the end of it, because it's turned

255
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: into We were asking after period one when it was

256
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: one to one between the US men's Olympic hockey team

257
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: in Latvia, what's the Latvian word for miracle on ice?

258
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 3: Which you found?

259
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: Now?

260
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: By the way, four unanswered goals, we are up on

261
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: Latvia with about eleven and a half minutes to go

262
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: in the third period, five to one, shots on goal

263
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: thirty four to twelve.

264
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: You know the problem with Olympic hockey? What's that?

265
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: Like?

266
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody could correct me if I'm wrong, But this

267
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: is where you need, like Tyrese Haliburton to go in

268
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: and just eat some minutes.

269
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: Yes, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, we're right.

270
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: You don't want your dudes out there.

271
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: You know, we got Ico out there, We got chucks,

272
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: but like you got to play your team. I probably

273
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: have some bench guys, but get them out. Get Christian

274
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: Layner out there and let him get some run. I

275
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: don't love uniforms. I assume we have more than one.

276
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: These are okay. They seem kind of nondescript to me.

277
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: I thought a couple of the other countries had nicer

278
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: uniforms than we did.

279
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: What do we I mean, I don't know. I don't

280
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 3: know what I'm looking for exactly.

281
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: It just seems the USA. It's really yeah, no, I

282
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: get it, and it just doesn't do much for me anyway.

283
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: It's all aesthetics. Ready, Yeah, well you're the guy who's

284
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: pounded into my head. It's all about uniforms now.

285
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: Anyway. There's a million of them, and that's USA is

286
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: a class.

287
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: No. You can still comment on the the the design itself,

288
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: I find it.

289
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

290
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: I wanted something grander. It doesn't seem very grand to me.

291
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: I wonder how often we've even changed it. Well, that's

292
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: a good question, I mean, can you have I mean

293
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I assume is it is it tighter in terms of

294
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: the rules when it's Olympic uniforms?

295
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: Probably probably is? Yeah, right about that.

296
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: What we did in like nineteen eighty you know what

297
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: they looked like back then. Yeah, it's a good point. Well,

298
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: then it probably wouldn't have mattered let's face it. I

299
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: mean it could have been the ugliest uniforms ever, and

300
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: because what they did what they did, no one's gonna

301
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to it.

302
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: It's time, By the way, just an editorial comment here

303
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: on February twelfth, Doctor Dan's inbox.

304
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: The Viking season has been over for how many months?

305
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: Two?

306
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: A month and a half, Yeah, feels like longer.

307
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm just using round numbers. Well, let's say we got

308
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: ten letters. Feels like eight of them. Yeah, it's just

309
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: all Vikings. So we're gonna pivot to another sport quickly.

310
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: Dear doctor Dan, I always knew I could play. I

311
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: just needed a break from se Finch. Chicago has everything

312
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: I need. No hopes, no dreams, no desire to win.

313
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: They let me play as much as I'd like. It's

314
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: way more fun to get my thirty minutes than to

315
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: actually be part of a championship caliber team. I'm sure

316
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: tee Wolves fans are begging for me to come back,

317
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: but it's too late. By the way, the mood much

318
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: better over here are Dillingham.

319
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: That's a good departure. I'm trying hurriedly here. Here's the quote.

320
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Did you see or read the quote from.

321
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: His new coach B Donovan, I did not. I did not.

322
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: He's the one guy that off the dribble can really

323
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: go by people and get into the teeth of the

324
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: d But the decision making, the shots he's taking are

325
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: not sustainable. He has to attack, but he's got to

326
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: make better decisions. I think that will come in time.

327
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: That's the key question, because that scouting report is exactly

328
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: why Finch didn't play him very much, and eventually why

329
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't blame him even though I was on the

330
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: dilly bandwagon. If you're making continually the same bad decisions

331
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and almost forgetting that you're not in college anymore, you're

332
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to finish the same way physically

333
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: that you did at the NBA level as you did

334
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: in college. Then at some point on a good team,

335
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: they can't keep.

336
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: Throwing you out there.

337
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: So maybe, as be Donovant hopes, he will figure it out.

338
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: But that's the key question, and what's scary is he

339
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: hasn't I up close to figuring that that part of

340
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: it out yet.

341
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: And a lot of that is basketball IQ.

342
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of that is judgment more than anything else,

343
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: and it's just It's uncanny because I could have read

344
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: that quote from just assumed it was from Finchy as

345
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: much as his from his new coach who's just had

346
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: him for like what a day and a half, and

347
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: be Donovan's already saying the same thing.

348
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: Did you see the Jake Cowley tweet about is he

349
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: hammered him already? No?

350
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: First of all, classic Cowie calls him danger Rob is

351
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 2: what he calls danger Rob has something. Would like to

352
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: see him get thirty minutes a game the final twenty games,

353
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: but won't happen.

354
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 3: Well, that that does pose the compelling question on him.

355
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: Where you go?

356
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: We aren't going anywhere, right, So maybe the way he's

357
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: going to figure it out. His best chance to figure

358
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: it out is to lower our heads and let him

359
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: continue to make those mistakes, but play thirty minutes and

360
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: maybe over the course of that time, there's a better chance.

361
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: He gets to that other spot.

362
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: It's much easier, I think, should be much easier for

363
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the Bulls to live with that result, because they have

364
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: zero at stake right now, unless they well, I mean

365
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: I assume they're tanking like everybody else is tanking at

366
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: this point. Did you see that, speaking of tanking. Did

367
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: you see what Utah did? No, there's a big man

368
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Jackson that they just got from Memphis and Jackson they're

369
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: shutting him down for the season now. Their claim it's

370
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: because he's going to have a procedure on some I

371
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: think on a car bungle or something. Some are goiter

372
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: he's got something. The question is, well, does he really

373
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: have it? Does it really does? Does the procedure need

374
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: to take place now? Or is this your excuse in

375
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: a time where a lot of people are spending more

376
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: time talking about tanking for a lottery position. To give

377
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: you something, you give yourself some cover.

378
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, one thing you've always told me is that you

379
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: don't want to let a car bundle or a goiter fest.

380
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Now.

381
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: You need to lance them. You need to take care

382
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: of them right now. I think you drain one of them, yeah,

383
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: or starve the other. I can't remember. You're right, hes

384
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: t didn't we lose to Utah too?

385
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Wolves people are saying that's the classic

386
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: team USA uniform.

387
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: That's what I thought it. It doesn't, I don't know.

388
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: That's all right, That's fine, Dear doctor Dan.

389
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: Cute little stories about officiating and judging errors in this Olympics.

390
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: Are you aware of a little basketball game that was

391
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: played in Munich in nineteen seventy two. The stage was

392
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: set in the heavily Soviet Union team of a bunch

393
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: of guys who had smoked cigarettes while on the bench

394
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: and more than likely took bribes to take a dive

395
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: against me and my American brethren. For the kids out there,

396
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: doctor Dan remind him before this game, USA basketball was

397
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: an unprecedented sixty three and zero Olympic hoops.

398
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

399
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: Well, the game wasn't pretty, nor were the length of

400
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: the shorts or the chest tear on our opponents.

401
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 3: We fought hard.

402
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: As one of US Minnesotan's in the leading scorer for

403
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: Team USA in that game, I thought I'd bring this

404
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: to your audience's attention. It took three, count them, three

405
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: blown calls in the final three seconds for them to

406
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: pull off a fifty one fifty victory over my I

407
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: beloved USA. Don't get me started either on the cheating

408
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: shooting guard that they had while I was dancing is cute,

409
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: and the judges make mistakes. This game was the biggest

410
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: fraud of all time. This from all time great Gopher

411
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: Jay Brewer oh ja, Yes, well that's a great callback.

412
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: There's been documentary about this game, really good ones.

413
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: I think it was the winning basket was I want

414
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: to say, scored by Alexander Belloff, who I think is dead.

415
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: There were two belloffs for the Russians.

416
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: There was a surgery Belloff and an Alexander Bellof And

417
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow we dig a little deeper about that game

418
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: because literally the last play of the game was replayed

419
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: three times, terrible three times.

420
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: Basically, first time.

421
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: They didn't score, no, no, I don't even remember what

422
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: the alleged violation was. Then it was we're give him

423
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: a second chance. They didn't score, and we said, no, oh,

424
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: come on, let's give him one more chance, and sure

425
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: enough they scored on a layup. Now, the game should

426
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: never have been that close, right, but nevertheless it was.

427
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: Of all the I guess you could say officials jobbing

428
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: stories in Olympic history from a team sports standpoint, that

429
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: stands alone, and in fact, I believe we've discussed this before.

430
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: Most of the members of that team never accepted their

431
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: sober medals. They're like in some vaults somewhere because they

432
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: were never rejected them.

433
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: From the beginning, I think it was the Redeemed Team

434
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: documentary that just came out about the eight team. Yeah,

435
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: that coach k coach remember when we changed everything after

436
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: the embarrassment of four and he obviously because he knows

437
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: d Collins, Doug Collins, well, yeah, he had Doug Collins

438
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: come in and talk to the team, and all those

439
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: years later he was still Collins, completely rattled.

440
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: Completely.

441
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: It affected the Lebrons and the Kobe's and the Durant

442
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: they are all like, oh my god, I was living

443
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: and dying with it as little Danny.

444
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: I mean it was.

445
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: It was massive and yeah, I and by the way,

446
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: these are supposed to be like the throwback to the

447
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, there's only been there's only one nineteen eighty.

448
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: Let's stop trying to read this has got nothing to

449
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: do with miracles or nineteen eighty or any of that

450
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: that was. Then, don't try to cheapen it and pretend

451
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: that you're gonna wake up the echoes of that, because

452
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: those echoes don't exist.

453
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: So let's just.

454
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: Get don't even don't even try to approximate that with

455
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: the uniforms.

456
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: Go ahead, just a couple walkofs in front of pause.

457
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: Dear doctor Dan m Russo told me you were thinking

458
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: of texting me. Since Tusa has made this a laugher,

459
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: I'm more than happy to hear from you. That from

460
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: be Garren, Dear doctor Dan, nobody said anything about a

461
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: maximum hot dog allotment. That from Jay Kaminga, and then

462
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: I he's pretty good. I'm gonna do your trick from

463
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: an hour ago, and I'm gonna read one and then

464
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: you can react on my own.

465
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: But you're leaving now, too, aren't you. I'm leaving that's sheep.

466
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: But go ahead because we actually got a lot of

467
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: letters from this person, and I didn't want to read

468
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: them because it's a sensitive situation. However, I think we

469
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: found the way to go, Dear doctor Dan. I was

470
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: sent to Minneapolis to clean up the ice disaster. It

471
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: turns out I found an even bigger disaster in Minnesota.

472
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: The twins from t Holman unbelievable. Yeah, you're now I'll

473
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: have to I'll have to deal with the mess. Congratulations.

474
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: I hope you're happening. Oh, I'll give you one more.

475
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: All right, Dear doctor Dan, can you read this email?

476
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: Based on my recent batting average, I'm wondering if in

477
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: addition to accidentally blocking my number on the text line,

478
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: you also accidentally blocked my email on the inbox. It's

479
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: the only explanation that from the original el Mondelo guy.

480
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: That's that's what I like that walk off. You should

481
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: have just stuck with that one.

482
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: I'm waiting. It's a good Twins cheap shot. Yeah it is. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: but it'll it will still not be trust from Homan,

484
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: from Putin.

485
00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

486
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: I got a lot of lets today that I couldn't read.

487
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: All right, let's do this.

488
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up the bottom of the hour, and lots

489
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: more to come, including Blake Moore in for guard Zy

490
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: Top five at five.

491
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: You have to come.

492
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: We'll give you highlights and details on the US men's

493
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: hockey team victory. We got some US Olympic controversies though,

494
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: where we are worried about whether we're getting the proper

495
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: calls being made. And then we'll prepare to chat with

496
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: our old buddy Leslie Frasier, who just is celebrating. In fact,

497
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: they had the parade yesterday in Seattle. His third Super

498
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: Bowl win, one as a player and now two as

499
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: a coach. All of that before we wrap things up.

500
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

501
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Fretshwan Brian Kavian text line is open to each and

502
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: every one of you, well those of you who have

503
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: not been blocked. At six four, six eighty six closing

504
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: minutes in Italia, US Men's Olympic Hockey team now up

505
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: five to one on Latvia after a controversial opening period

506
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: that ended in a one to one draw. We have

507
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: not looked back thirty seven to seventeen. It looks like

508
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: on shots on goal that's the differential. So it has

509
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: been a dominant performance for the US as it was

510
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be against Latvia. Brett blakemore is now for

511
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: GUARDSI I think, is it not true in the new

512
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: rules that basically you're all but guaranteed to get into

513
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: the metal round even if you lose a game. I

514
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: don't Once upon a time it actually mattered, they so

515
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: called prelim round. I'm not even sure it matters at

516
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: this point, not that you want to lose to anybody,

517
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: certainly not Latvia, who I think we were five goal favorites.

518
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, I'm not sure all the permutations

519
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: work for that. But I'll tell you if the US

520
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 4: plays like they did, even fifty percent of what they did,

521
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: in the second period, they're going to be in good

522
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 4: shape going in the mid.

523
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did, they were.

524
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: They became rather dominant in that very period. And yeah,

525
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: the passing was good everything. I likened it, like I said,

526
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: to the Tetaka passing system that La Roja, uh, you

527
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: know from international from you know, the the some of

528
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: the great lar Roja Spanish soccer teams. It felt like

529
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: the same thing. The puck was moving, all was well,

530
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: but that's sort of what you're supposed to do. I

531
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: think against Lafia. Did Canada play earlier, they did dominated

532
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I think they won five rip over tetya.

533
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, fair enough.

534
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: The disappointing part for us is we were trying to

535
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: get Russo radio for either today or tomorrow, but because

536
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't think the times are gonna work, because I

537
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: think we're playing both times, and he's busy not just

538
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: with men's stuff hockey, men's hockey, but women's hockey as

539
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Olympic hockey as well. So I did consider texting Garren

540
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: when it was one to one at the end of the.

541
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 3: First period, but then I thought better of it.

542
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know if he'd I don't know if he'd

543
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure at that point whether he'd have much

544
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: of a sense of humor, as we say, not so much,

545
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: and I'm.

546
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: Guessing he would not he I don't.

547
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: My guess is he would have ignored the text, but

548
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 1: it still would have annoyed him if he bothered, if

549
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: he deigned.

550
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 3: To look down on his phone.

551
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: So I figured let's let discretion be the better form

552
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: of valor there, although at some point we do hope

553
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: to get him in the discussion and russo on another day.

554
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm off Sunday, so because that could have been that

555
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: would have been been another option, although what would the Yeah,

556
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: because the time difference would work there they're ahead of us,

557
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: So a Sunday sermons h appearance might have worked. But

558
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: in this case we'll have to find it for another time.

559
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: This is from was it five oh seven? Guy?

560
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: Let's see, I guess five oh seven?

561
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, five oh seven guy? Can you just let me

562
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: know if I've been blocked or not? Well, if I'm

563
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: reading your text, that should answer your question, right, Yeah.

564
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: Because that would seem to indicate.

565
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm wondering if I should block him because it

566
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: sounds like he's feeling guilty about something. So then I say, well,

567
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe one yeah, maybe maybe I should block him. At

568
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: this point, Dan any comments in the latest pay rays

569
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: Slash and Center for PJ.

570
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: Flecker maintaining mediocrity. The bar is too low.

571
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: The one million dollars should be for players, the close

572
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: one million? Did he get another million for players on

573
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: the field?

574
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: Did he get a new raise? I had time for

575
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: guards he to leave. Yeah, I don't tell you.

576
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that question. I mean,

577
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: most of these contracts, that's how they work anymore.

578
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: It's in the books.

579
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: US wins five to one over the plucky Latvians, and this.

580
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: Is what we call in the business group, C play.

581
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: So we play. I don't remember who we played the

582
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: do you know who we played tomorrow? I think the

583
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: men have a day off?

584
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh they do. I thought they were maybe, so maybe

585
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: it's the women tomorrow and they are playing about the

586
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: same time. Maybe that's what they were talking about. That

587
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: could very well be the.

588
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: The men's next game. Let's see is Denmark and that

589
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: is on Saturday. The plucky Danes. H that's good that

590
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: that's good to know. Did you see were you watching

591
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: in the first period?

592
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: I was, So were either of those calls questionable that

593
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: took goals away from us?

594
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: One was interference, I think, the other was allegedly.

595
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: Well the off side you couldn't from every angle that

596
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: they showed on the broadcast, you couldn't. You could assume,

597
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: but you didn't think it was, but you couldn't officially tell.

598
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I mean, you could line up where

599
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 4: the puck was moving and where it would be behind

600
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 4: the guy's skate, and you know, geometry your way to

601
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: calling you offside. That's what they did. The other one,

602
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: the interference. I get the international rules are different and

603
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: it's being in the crease, but it's still to me

604
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: that's that's a bad rule because there he didn't interfere

605
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: with the goaltender being able to do his job.

606
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: For my money, I'm being biased, of course.

607
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 4: For the Red, white, and Blue, it just felt like

608
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: a with the two posts, the crossbar, the two goals

609
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: taken back, it was like, uh oh, are we approaching?

610
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: That was just one of those nights, you know, are

611
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: we getting into that territory? And thankfully in the second

612
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: period they just put boot.

613
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: To ass I want to get I don't know that

614
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: we need to spend a lot of time on this.

615
00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: Where did it?

616
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: Oh, no, that's not it. Let me just keep scrolling,

617
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: let me find it. Maybe I can find it via

618
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: Star Tribune dot com. I have to admit that I am.

619
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: I have a hard time, like I said, wanting to

620
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: devote much of any attention on your favorite baseball team,

621
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: the not yours, but the Minnesota Twins. And but this

622
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: story is getting I think a little bit of headline. Oh,

623
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Jesse Diggins. Did Diggins want a bronze today?

624
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

625
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: Bronze medal across country skiing? She's one of us Afton's own.

626
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: That's the fourth Olympic medal of her career. She finishes

627
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: third in the ten kilometer freestyle race that was earlier

628
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: today at the Milan Cortina Games.

629
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: So here, here's here.

630
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: That's a story that's getting way too much of a

631
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: headline in my view because of the name.

632
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: What's going on here? Let's get this ad out of here.

633
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to read the ad, so I might

634
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: start tobeing dot com and then an ad popped up

635
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: almost immediately.

636
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: So have you seen the headlines? Well, there was.

637
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: It was part of the one of the iHeart Sports

638
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: updates too. We've signed an All Star closer named Liam

639
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Hendricks to a contract.

640
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: And so if you know nothing other than that, you.

641
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Wah, Twittin's getting serious about this thing. Well, it's a

642
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: minor league contract. He gets an invite to the big camp.

643
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: He's thirty seven years old. And yeah, after he left

644
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: us the first time, he turned into a really good

645
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: relief picture right one hundred and fourteen saves from twenty

646
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty two.

647
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: But as.

648
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Bobby Knigale points out via starturbune dot com, he's barely

649
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: pitched the past three years. Missed most of the twenty

650
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: three season, in that case battling something quite serious non

651
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission after five months, then required Tommy

652
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: John surgery that sidelined him through the twenty twenty four season.

653
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: Last year, he pitched thirteen innings at in the area

654
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: of six point five nine. So again, there are people

655
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: that keep a couple of people that texted like huh

656
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: interesting name. Yeah, once upon a time, And I mean,

657
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: I know there's nothing to lose. I get that, but

658
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: let's not when you put in the headline former All

659
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: Star closer, that's technically true, but it makes it sound

660
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: like a much more ambitious and sizable move than it

661
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: really is. You know what I'm saying, It's like Colin

662
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: sauor Sanders a pro bow. Well, you know, very similar.

663
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: That's true, It's not that it's not all that different.

664
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: I do have another Olympic scandal to get to that

665
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: I had missed. This involves two Olympic skiers, the South

666
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: Korean cross country skiing duo hand Das Sam and Lee

667
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Oujene were disqualified from the women's sprint event.

668
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: This was earlier in the week.

669
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: This was Tuesday, caught using an illegal substance on their equipment.

670
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: They tested positive for something called is it pronounced floor

671
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: f l u o R?

672
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: Do you know what floor is? Not familiar? It's a

673
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: fluorinated wax.

674
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: That was banned years ago because of the harm it

675
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: causes both humans and the environment. Previously had been used

676
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: to improve the glide of ski blades, initially adapted from

677
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: use on sailing boats. Were improved their gliding ability big

678
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: advantage in wet or humid conditions. They the duo entered

679
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: the event ranked one hundred and fifty seven one hundred

680
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: and fifty eighth, so neither was likely to challenge for

681
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: a gold medal. But this has been an Olympics already,

682
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: where right, there's been a lot of I want to

683
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: say a lot of cheating that's going on. There's been

684
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: some there's been some effort to kind of, you know,

685
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: skirt the rules, some stories that seem to anticipate, as

686
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: it pertains, the ski jumpers circumventing the rules. And now

687
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: we've got, once again, apparently a product that's not supposed

688
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: to be used at all that cost a couple couple

689
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: skiers their opportunity to continue to compete. So, if you

690
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: have any other I live for the Olympic scandals. I'm

691
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. I like the competition. I

692
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: enjoy the comp petition. I believe in the thrill of victory,

693
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: and I believe in the agony of defeat. But quite frankly,

694
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I also like the I mean, it's it's really true.

695
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the human nature being what it is, the

696
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: envelope is always going to be pushed. I mean, the

697
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: truth is, my guess is there's cheating going on, involving

698
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: substances that we don't even know what they can do

699
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: to help the cause right, because the cheaters are usually

700
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: ahead of the testers correct, so eventually then they get

701
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: caught up, and then it's like, oh, here's another product

702
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: that is illegal or gives an advantage or or or

703
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little a leg up on the competition,

704
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: and we don't even tend to find out about it

705
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: on the front end. I guess I'm trying to say,

706
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: Bratchewan Brian Kiffin text line is open at six four,

707
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: six eighty six. I'm trying to get rebooted to get

708
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: to a couple of other texts, but it's it's it's locked.

709
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: Me out of the systems.

710
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: So now I'm waiting for yet another and endless series

711
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: of passwords as thing goes. Are you if you had

712
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: to handy? Did I ask you this the other day?

713
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. I think I asked Louis.

714
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: If you're handicapping the men's Olympic hockey field, not what

715
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: you want to see happen, but what you think it's

716
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: fair to expect to happen. Give me your sequence from

717
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: of the top three best chance to know, start with

718
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: the third number three team and ascend.

719
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: To the team that you think is the team to beat.

720
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: Obviously, what I want to happen is the red, white

721
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 4: and blue, right, because you're a patriot, that's correct. I

722
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 4: think I want to buy some sadness insurance with this

723
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: and say that because to me, the three top teams,

724
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 4: I mean, the Fins are good and not to be

725
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: slept on, but they did just get upset the other night.

726
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 4: But I think it's the Swedes, the Americans and the Canadians,

727
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: and you're on your own after that. I would probably

728
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 4: with the Swedes in the bronze Sadness Insurance US Silver,

729
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: Canada Gold, just so that if we lose in dramatic

730
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: fashion in the gold medal game, I can say at

731
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 4: least I predicted it correctly. But I think it's those

732
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 4: three teams in any order. I think you've got a

733
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: pretty good shot at getting it correct.

734
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: All right, So what's the key for us to get

735
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: to get the goal? That's been a while for us

736
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: in the Olympics.

737
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, it's been since nineteen eighty, Yeah, exactly since

738
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 4: the miracle. The closest they've come was was twenty four

739
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 4: or twenty ten in the gold medal game, the golden

740
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 4: goal that I will never be okay with watching it.

741
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 4: I think the key is to shut down the stars,

742
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: and you know, Bill Garon built the team to be

743
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: able to shut down the McDavid's and play roles, and

744
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 4: we got to have and by the way, his role

745
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 4: players today, Grandon Grant a salt, it's latvia. It's not

746
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 4: the most deleite of competition. I mean, brock Nelson scored

747
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 4: two goals and he's a fourth liner on this team,

748
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: so you like to see that. But he brought in

749
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 4: those guys instead of bringing in a Robertson or Cawfield

750
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: to play the roles and be solid defensively. So that's

751
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 4: what you're going to have to and get great goaltending

752
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 4: from Hellibuck, which I think they ken.

753
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: Are you were you in the group?

754
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: So when when the US team was put together, there

755
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: was well, I guess this is always true, but I

756
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: felt like more than usual, there were bones of contention

757
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: about the makeup of the team, that there are some

758
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: players that should have been on it from a talent

759
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: standpoint that weren't. And of course the Garran comeback is

760
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: I ain't interested in an All Star team in that sense.

761
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm interested in a team that I think with you know,

762
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: that's almost like puzzle pieces that fit together, where the

763
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I

764
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: want different players who I think I can count on

765
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: to do certain tasks that need to be done to

766
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: give us the best chance to win. And I don't

767
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: care about the talent thing. So did you go into

768
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: it saying, well, I gotta say, I think there's two

769
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: or three players it probably should be there that weren't, or.

770
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: That the wrong players are there.

771
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: Are you perfectly content with the make up of the

772
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: decision making when it comes to who's on this team?

773
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 4: I mean I think that especially Robertson and probably Coffeel

774
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 4: as well, good enough to make this team. And I've

775
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: been saying for years with the Wild that scoring to

776
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: me is my number one priority. N get, we need roles,

777
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: we need penalty killers, and we need grinders, and I

778
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 4: understand that. But to me, what has held back the

779
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: Wild for so many years in the first round is

780
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 4: the ability to go Okay, the first line is getting

781
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 4: shut down. We need goal scoring from the second line

782
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: and the third line, and it doesn't come because they're

783
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 4: not that depth in scoring wise. But when it came

784
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 4: to this team, there's so much equity in the six

785
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 4: and a half periods they played against Canada in the

786
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 4: Four Nations faceoff to where I can't really get that, Matt.

787
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 4: They play a skated stride for stride with them for

788
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 4: two and change games. So yeah, you can be this

789
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: guy is scoring so many goals he's on the team

790
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: or all Cookoffeel does is score power play goals.

791
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: I understand that.

792
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: But at the same time, this is the same team

793
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 4: that was right with Canada, and why not run it

794
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 4: back because at the end of the day there were

795
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 4: one weird overtime goal away from and one defensive breakdown

796
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 4: away from still being in that game.

797
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: So I like the team, I understand.

798
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 4: I do think Robertson and Coffield are probably good enough

799
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 4: to make this team all right.

800
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, we'll have our lengthy conversation that we

801
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: taped right before the show with former Vikings head coach

802
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, who is basking in the success of the

803
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. He is the assistant head coach and really

804
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: tells us that he dabbles in offense and defense, even

805
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: though defense, of course, historically has been his specialty. His

806
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: third Super Bowl ring is coming his way. We spend

807
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: a lot of time on the purple his time here.

808
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: We spend a bunch of time on when he was

809
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: a member of the Chicago Bears. He was the one

810
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: of the elite cornerbacks of that nineteen eighty five Bears

811
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: team that has become rather mythic. And we also cover

812
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: his own disappointment regarding the racial makeup of the individuals

813
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: who have been hired. There were ten openings for head

814
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: coach in the National Football League, and he asks some

815
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: disappointment in terms of who did not end up getting

816
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: hired or at least the opportunity to ascend to head coach.

817
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: He does talk about his own feelings regarding his future

818
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: as a head coach, if there might be another opportunity

819
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: for him as well.

820
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: So that's going to come up.

821
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: I think it's running in two parts, right, because I

822
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: think we're going to start at five point fifteen. I mean,

823
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: because the interview was pretty close to thirty minutes, I

824
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: believe before he wrapped it up, we just got going

825
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: on a number of subjects. Some of them will be painful.

826
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you. Some of them

827
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: are going to be painful. To Minnesota Vikings fans, but

828
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: we cover a lot of other aspects of a great career.

829
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: The guy's been one of those glue guys I think

830
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: around the league, big time defensive coordinator, assistant coach for

831
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and now kind of the right

832
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: hand man to Mike McDonald, very young with it and

833
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: wow Seattle Seahawks head coach as well. Six four six

834
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: eighty six is the Brad Shawn Brian cafe in text line,

835
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: are you prepared for a top five at five to

836
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: come in late?

837
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 3: I hope you can get it done. Yeah, I've got enough.

838
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: I think you got enough. I think he's on tease

839
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 3: with anything more.

840
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: Olympics hockey talk, Wolves win yesterday, going into the break,

841
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: break down the Twins trade. I might even break down

842
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: this border cross race that's going on because I love

843
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 4: this event, this event, This is so much fun to watch.

844
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 4: This is just a snowboard race down the hill with

845
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 4: different so they're they're all competing at the same time.

846
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: You're saying, yes, it's just a race through curves and

847
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 4: jumps and they run into each other.

848
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 3: That's pretty fantastic.

849
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: By the way, does Fallness does he acknowledge Olympic hockey.

850
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: It's not the NHL, although the NHL is in it.

851
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, he's such a wild guy,

852
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: is he does?

853
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: He does? He mean?

854
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Because we've we've had plenty of hockey conversation today, but

855
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: it's more been more Olympic hockey converse.

856
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I could say Quinn Hughes played great, and

857
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: that Boldly played great. It's a rock favor played great.

858
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 4: Besides the weird frustration penalty at the end, look at that.

00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: Beautiful Look at this. Yeah, this is a big time
