00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: the discussion will be on the nice win over Akla

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: over over the weekend. So we're talking. It's my favorite

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: subject that we don't dive into it very often, the

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Vikings quarterback conundrum. Where they've been, where they're going, where

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: they're at with the quarterback situation. So I was reading

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: from a piece from something called SB Nation, Yahoo Sports,

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: and here's what what they write in the context of

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: the Vikings potentially partying ways of McCarthy. It's worth noting

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: that McCarthy lost an important supporter in Quezy Adolpha Mensa.

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: The rumor was that it was Adolpha Mensa who prioritized

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: McCarthy over making a serious attempt to extend Sam Darnold

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: and also let Daniel Jones take a lower offer from

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: the Colts as he viewed his chance to be the

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: starter as better In Indianapolis, Kevin O'Connell wasn't as convinced

23
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: that McCarthy was ready to be the starter last year.

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: Adolpha Menza's role in the quarterback decision making last year

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: was thought to have been a significant reason for his

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: release at the end of January, as it damages apparently

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: already shaky credibility within the organization. Ultimately, McCarthy was Adolpha

28
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Menza's pick, and apparently was Adolpha Mensa who was the

29
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: key to his being a starter last year. Certainly, head

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell's expressed support for McCarthy as well, along

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: with acting GM Rob Bazinski, but that support has seemingly

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: been rolled back or qualified in recent comments since a

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Doopha Mensa has fired. Those comments raised doubts about the

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Vikings comitment to McCarthy. Now you read what Alec Lewis

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: wrote this weekend, and he says, like last offseason, head

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell, of the strongest personnel voice on the

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: quarterback situation.

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: Also of note, many of the Vikings.

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: Highs profile players are watching closely to see who the

40
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: team lands.

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 3: I read that as.

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: Head coach Kevin O'Connell of the strongest personnel voice on

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation, as he did last offseason. I've been

44
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: led to believe by the people I trust that McCarthy

45
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: was all O'Connor was all in on McCarthy. This other

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: writer seems to be suggesting there was adolpha mensa almost

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: at McCarthy, or that O'Connell had to be pulled along.

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you there's there's spin doctoring going around

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: over at TCO Performance Center.

50
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: Sure, that's the only way I can see it is

51
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: nobody wants to.

52
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Take them trying to find their fall guy.

53
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 4: That's exactly what they're trying to do.

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: And now I guess quays he becomes the convenient fall

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: guy because he's gone. Now, whether Quaysy's ever gonna say anything,

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: you know, will everybody go Quaycy?

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 3: Whose decision was it?

58
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: Was it more?

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: You more?

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: O'Connell more? Whoever?

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Wilf's director of player person who who who is the

62
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: highest what was it? Could be Paul Allen. I don't

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: know if he'll ever say anything. He now works for

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: San Francisco again, right, yes, the boys he getting hired. Yeah,

65
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: so he might not want to, uh say anything.

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: I think there's plenty of blame to be spread around.

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: You'll never ever be able to convince me that Kevin

68
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: O'Connell or any coach for that matter, doesn't have a

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: very large say in personnel decisions with the team. I

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: don't the general manager breaks the ties. Maybe there was

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: a tie in that situation when they drafted him. Maybe

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: there was a tie when they decided should they keep Darnold.

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: I mean.

74
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: O'Connell said all the right things. I mean he certainly didn't.

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Nobody threw anybody under the bus publicly.

76
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: Right.

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: If you'll remember, what O'Connell said was Sam has earned

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: the right to be a free agent.

79
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: I also was told by people I trust, and whether

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: it's true or not, but what I was told was

82
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: that part of McCarthy ree or O'Connell resigning his deal,

83
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: you know, the extension was I got to have more

84
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: say personnel decisions.

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: And it sounds like when Alec writes, is like last.

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: Offseason, head coach Kevin o'conne will have the strongest personnel

87
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: voice on the quarterback situation last offseason. And I tend

88
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: to trust Lewis who's there every day, than Fantasy Football

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: guy or some other guy that they're not there every day,

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: you know, but.

91
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: Maybe they know more.

92
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe in Fantasy Football guy or the the

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: other player were the other writer mentioned it here who

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: works for NBC Sports. Maybe maybe they're more plugged in

95
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: over Winter Park. Maybe they new CCO performance, Maybe they are.

96
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: I kind of tend to trust the local guys more

97
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: because they're there every day in the trenches, right, you know,

98
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: your your your your your Seaffert's there all the time. Uh,

99
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 2: you're a Lewis Craig, Mark Craig, they're there all the time,

100
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: right And the columnists all, you know, just all the people

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: that cover the vikings are there. Emily Leeker like her,

102
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: I think she's she's there. These people are there all

103
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: the time, and so I tend to trust them, and

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: you know, I I guess.

105
00:05:59,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: I did.

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, does it really even

107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: matter who made the decisions?

108
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: I don't know.

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: I I guess it's you could do the oldest water

110
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: under the bridge, but it's still it's such a critical

111
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: decision when you see what Darnold was able to do,

112
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: and we understand that.

113
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: Look, they had a great defense. Vikings defense is really

114
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: good too.

115
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 2: I think they were probably both ranked in the top five,

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: but that Seattle's defense was extra special.

117
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: They had, you know, they.

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Coach it kind of knows. Of course, he's a defensive

119
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: coach too, is the McDonald guy. Defensive coach.

120
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much who was running the offense.

121
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: But Kubiak Kubiak is now the coach is.

122
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: San Francisco or San Francisco, but Vegas, Vegas, and.

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Does make you wonder, but I don't know, well, does

124
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: go back to a year ago the JJ McCarthy injury

125
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: his rookie season in in you know, after that preseason game.

126
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: That made it pretty challenging for these guys to make

127
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: a decision on quarterback last year because one, you know,

128
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: it's going to stunt your development a little bit when

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you don't get a full season of practicing. But two,

130
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: it also prevented the coaching staff from being able to

131
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: evaluate them properly. So when they had to make their

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: quarterback decision last year, JJ was still a bit of

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: a wild card because he didn't get see him practice

134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: all year, and if you had, you might have been like, well,

135
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: this guy's not the guy who got to go out

136
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: and get somebody else. But there's always that potential of well,

137
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: we haven't seen them, let's see what's behind door number

138
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: two here, and they got bitten by it.

139
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: The Fantasy Football and NBC Sports sources Kevin O'Connell, Wait,

140
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: hold on, why you wouldn't want to do that right,

141
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: Distance yourself from that if you can not sure that's

142
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: what happened there. I'm telling you this common. This regime

143
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: is working overtime to get a splash player at quarterback.

144
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: If they run it with JJ and one of these

145
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: bums on a league minimum, they will all be fired

146
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: after this year. And they know it book it that

147
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: that could be. I don't know who that splash quarterback is, though,

148
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, I mean I feel.

149
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: Like the yeah, the Burrow Lamar Jackson stuff has died down. Yeah,

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: I those are the ones that immediately in the regulation.

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: You know, at the beginning of the off season, people

152
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: try to throw those out hoping it'll stick well.

153
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: And you know, you might be more well versed on

154
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: this than I am. Why would either one of those

155
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: teams want to go in a different direction at quarterback.

156
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: They're both considered top five quarterbacks.

157
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: It might not be the teams.

158
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: It might be the players, Okay, right, it might be

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: Burrowed being like, I don't want to be here anymore.

160
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: In Minnesota will be the place he'd want to go. See.

161
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: That's the other thing, you know. I mean, I don't

162
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: know how much choice he has. I don't know the

163
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: ins and out. I know that in Major League Baseball

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: they have, you know, no trade clauses, and.

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: They have certain teams. I think they do that football too,

166
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: right me.

167
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: I don't think Minnesot's an awful landing, No.

168
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: No, But if you're Joe Burrow, is there much of

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: a difference between Cincinnati? I mean, do your receiver in

170
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's better than one in Minnesota?

171
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: Or at least they're.

172
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: Close, you know, And you didn't get to a big game,

173
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: didn't didn't the Bungles losing the big game to the

174
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: Rams that second year? Yeah, so they got to a

175
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: big game is Cincinnati? And that bad of a spot.

176
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: That was back when you're on Joe Burrow's rookie contract.

177
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I get that he ain't gonna have no

178
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: rookie contract here either.

179
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: But they haven't provided him a defense, they haven't provided

180
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: him an offensive line.

181
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: Maybe he's losing.

182
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to be back in Cincinnati, so

183
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: it's not even worth talking about. But he was a

184
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: little cryptic at the end of the regular season, which

185
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: is why I think people thought maybe he potentially wants

186
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: to get out of there.

187
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: This one says, Kaos is known quarterback, whisper Quazy is

188
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: the numbers guy.

189
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: He had to defer to Chaos. So Quazy ass KOC.

190
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: You want Sam Darnold Becker, you want JJ and a

191
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: new offensive line. Tough call bottom line, as they couldn't

192
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: afford to do both because the draft faces in the

193
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: past three years. There might be something to that, And

194
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: that's what I don't know, will ever know. I just

195
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: feel like I would rather my coach if I hire

196
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: a guy to coach the club. I actually would if

197
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm the owner. And maybe this is crazy, maybe that

198
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: you can't do it this way, And this is.

199
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 3: Why I don't own it too well because I don't

200
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: writ any money either.

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: But I would rather my coach and the coaching staff

202
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: make personnel decisions.

203
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: In the GM I know the GM.

204
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: There's not to say that he can't find and develop

205
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 2: talent or understand talent as well. But if you've got

206
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: an offensive minded head coach who's the play caller puts

207
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: the whole thing together, I would think I would say,

208
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: you picked the guy you want a quarterback man, and

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: I'll draft them and we'll get the contracts.

210
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: But make sure you get the right guy. I'll do that.

211
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: I'll fill out some of the other spots, but tell

212
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: me who you want a quarterback. I just I just

213
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: I until somebody comes out and says how it really

214
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: went down, that's what I'll believe. It's I just I

215
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: just find it hard to believe that it wouldn't be.

216
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: But you know, and and the thing is is, I

217
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: don't know if we're ever going to find out.

218
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: We still never heard from Zimmer and Spielman regarded the fallouts.

219
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, how long ago is that?

220
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: In?

221
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: Four years?

222
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: Right? Because it is o'connag going who was fifty year

223
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: and now it's five years ago.

224
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, four or five years. I'd still like to hear him. Zimmer, Yeah,

225
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: give us a tell all. Yeah, I'm not going to

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: coach again. What's that he's not going to coach protect

227
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I think come out and tell us.

228
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I also think he's one of those guys.

229
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: Here's one that says you could be the lot ofest

230
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: person in the room asking for a golf trip to

231
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Floor Rida. But if the guy making the decision says no,

232
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: it's his call. So it sounds like this text messager

233
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: believes it was all Quazy.

234
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: That could be.

235
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: I mean, ultimately he has to make the call. YEP.

236
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Probably what's really happened is your GM is supposed to

237
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of probably be aligned with your with your head coach,

238
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: and you're talking about decisions together, and because you need

239
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: to talk about the coach of what type of players

240
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: do you want? And there was probably a separation there

241
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: right that Quazy can't think the game on Koc's level

242
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: and KOs is not thinking on Quazy's level, and they

243
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: couldn't get the two to come together. Well if you

244
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: were too, and maybe chaos is like going above Quazy's

245
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: head and going to the going to ownership going well,

246
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: he can't be making this decision.

247
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to you guys on this. Then

248
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 4: Ownership's making a decision.

249
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also heard it wasn't the friendliest arrangement either.

250
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: So, but I don't know. These are just rumors you

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: hear from people out of trust. But I don't know.

252
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: You know, let me ask you this, if you had

253
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: to make a prediction, what do you think the Vikings

254
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: quarterback room will look like come training camp time?

255
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Well, the two names being thrown out today are Kyler

256
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: Murray and Gino Smith.

257
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: Problems.

258
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: They're both technically under right under contract with someone right now,

259
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: so you have to assume they are going to get released.

260
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: If they're being honest about trying to give JJ McCarthy competition,

261
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: I would probably say Gino Smith is probably going to

262
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: be more like just KOC given apparently his offense is

263
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: the most complic Hayden football, and that's been Kyler Murray's weakness.

264
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Right.

265
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Chaos has not really dealt with having a mobile quarterback.

266
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: He's kind of had more of pocket passers, which would

267
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: fit Gino Smith and kind of just give you a

268
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: bridge until you figure out the next one.

269
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: We haven't really heard Aaron Rodgers. I'm still not.

270
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: I still think there's a chance Aaron Rodgers gets out

271
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh and comes here. I think Chaos may go, Hey,

272
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: we should have taken him last year.

273
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: We didn't. I think Rogers knows.

274
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: He's Pittsburgh's probably just a middle end team.

275
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, new coach. I don't know how much he likes McCarthy.

276
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it seems to me that in most

277
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: cases Rogers didn't like any of US coaches.

278
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: But he wants to do his own thing. Yeah, he

279
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 4: kind of wants to do his own thing.

280
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: But he did work. You know, he won a big

281
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: game with McCarthy. But yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I

282
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: don't think there's any Pittsburgh Vikings could be Middland too,

283
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: but they.

284
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: Well they were middling with the awful quarterbacks, all right.

285
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: That's it, and then the defense is pretty good, and

286
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: we'll we'll take a break, we'll come back. I was

287
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna say controversial likings is, but that's about as controversial

288
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: as we can get. Maybe we'll do some little hockey

289
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: talk now here in the common Man program in the fan.

290
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: It's got a nice little rhythm to it. Yeah, it's

291
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: not bad.

292
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: What's this one?

293
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: It's called Vibes City Vibes. Have we done this before?

294
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: It's I think I recognize the title for sure. It's

295
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: kind of got a city vibe to it. I know

296
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: I promised hockey.

297
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: I just panicked. I don't have any more hockey stuff.

298
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: I'll do that in the last same and I'm gonna

299
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: let you break down the Wild and their chances of

300
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: getting to the NHL Finals Stanley Cup Finals. I did

301
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: see this though, Tennebee. I'd never heard of this before,

302
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: but apparently it's very popular. Have you ever heard of

303
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: the forty twenty rule in the NBA? The forty twenty rule.

304
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson was the one who came up with the

305
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: forty twenty rule. It was Scott Phillips Rice for the

306
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: Athletic Here's what he writes. During his decorated Hall of

307
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: Fame career, Phil Jackson routinely found unique ways to offer

308
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: words of wisdom, navigating some of the biggest egos in

309
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: basketball history while trying to stay sharp during the grind

310
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: of the NBA regular season. Jackson regularly used in season

311
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: challenges to keep his players focused.

312
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: See maybe that is the true. Maybe that's the difference

313
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: with a great coach. So what's the forty twenty rule.

314
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'll get to that one, but I wanted to

315
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: talk about this first paragraph because it's very to me.

316
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: It's eye opening because one of the issues that I have,

317
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm confounded and dumbfounded that somebody told me Doris Burke

318
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: was all over the Wolves this weekend two She said

319
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: she was just beside herself or something. They just couldn't

320
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: believe that the Wolves can be this inconsistent, look like

321
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: the best team in basketball for a game or two,

322
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: and then look like the worst team in basketball or

323
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: somewhere in between. But keeping players voted, We've gone through

324
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: the quotes, you know, for Ants at the very beginning

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: of the season, when they started off the season slow,

326
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: and he said, it just feels like we really don't

327
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: want to play these games, want to just get right

328
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: to the playoffs.

329
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: And here it says.

330
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: Navigating some of the biggest egos in basketball history are

331
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: all trying to stay sharp during the grind of the

332
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 2: NBA regular season. Jackson regularly used in season challenges to

333
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: keep his teams focused. One Jackson statute that's gained traction

334
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: with common NBA fans over the last several years is the.

335
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: Forty before twenty rule.

336
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: History indicates that if an NBA team reaches forty wins

337
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: during the regular season before twenty losses, that team has

338
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: a credible chance at an NBA Championship.

339
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: It's staggering Eighteen.

340
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: Of the last nineteen NBA champs fit the forty before

341
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: twenty criteria, with even deeper roots the further you go back.

342
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: Of course, it isn't a foregone conclusion that.

343
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: A forty before twenty team will win the twenty twenty

344
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: six NBA Championship. Plenty of other contenders are worth keeping

345
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: an eye on. If recent NBA playoffs werenning indication. There

346
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: are plenty of dangerous franchises lurking, but there are three

347
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: teams right now tending to be that one forty before

348
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: they lost twenty. They would be the Oklahoma City Thunder,

349
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: the San Antonio Spurs, and the Detroit Pistons. NBA writer

350
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: for The Athletic has quoted here a guy named Law Murray.

351
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: It says he extensively researched forty before twenty and its

352
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: value over decades of NBA play The forty twenty rules

353
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: particularly strong backing in the modern era after the three

354
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: point line was added, but the rules still transcends across

355
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: transcends across most NBA eras.

356
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 3: Here's what he says.

357
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm a strong believer of the forty before twenty rule

358
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: that Phil Jackson established. Of the seventy nine champions in

359
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: NBA history, only seventeen won the title after failing to

360
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: win forty games before they lost twenty. It's twenty one

361
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: point five percent. Moreover, only four teams in the three

362
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: point line era since nineteen seventy nine have won a

363
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: championship without being a forty before twenty contender. That's eight

364
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: point seven percent, and eighteen of the last nineteen champions

365
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: have cleared forty before twenty. The exception was the Milliwauka

366
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Bucks in twenty twenty one, and even the Bucks have

367
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: to beat a a forty before twenty team in the

368
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: NBA finals and the Phoenix Suns. Now, I will say this,

369
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: as cool as that sounds, like, wow, that's mystical, it's crazy.

370
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: It sort of like the teams that go oh to

371
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: two in the National Football League only make the playoffs

372
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: like twelve percent of the times. Well, that's because the

373
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: reason they're oh and two is because they're bad. That

374
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: they're not a good team, and so if you win

375
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: forty before two, you're a really good team.

376
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 4: So that probably is the reason.

377
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: Why that that stat uh has some credence to it,

378
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: but it still is an.

379
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: Interesting uh A stat line.

380
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: And if in other words, it sounds like Jackson maybe

381
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: use that as part of his trend. We have to

382
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: keep the guys interested so they don't just decide not

383
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: to play defense like the Wolves do every other game.

384
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 4: He finds a way to go. You know what, guys,

385
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 4: we went forty before we lose twenty.

386
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: I got stats here that show right here in black

387
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: and white, the show.

388
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: Those bullem then just coasting the nurses never And I

389
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: don't think his Lakers teams did either. Right he did. Coach,

390
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: he did. I don't remember those years as much, but.

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: So you know, I kind of like that, And it's like,

392
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: maybe that's the whole trick with coaching in the NBA

393
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: is they're grown men playing a child's game. But I

394
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: think a lot of them are still like children, and

395
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: so you have to try to fool them into certain

396
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: into certain things. Right the forty before twenty You've probably

397
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: heard me say this on IT.

398
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: I don't like to talk about myself. I really don't.

399
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: I'd rather never even mention my name common on the air,

400
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: and I'd really rather not talk about my next comedy

401
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: show coming up with Meat Sauce and Larry Mandella Guy,

402
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: which is April eighteenth, No thirteenth, I think it's thirteen,

403
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: oh boys thirteenth or eighteenth. It's a Friday or Saturday,

404
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: thirteenthir eighteenth. I'm coming up.

405
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't like to talk about something using ozep.

406
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: But when I'm playing golf, if I shoot a thirty

407
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: eight two over, par as on the front side tend

408
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: to be the mantra in my head becomes forty before

409
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: twenty or birdie before bogie.

410
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: Because no Ulthlessen tell me anything, this makes sense.

411
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: I feel like if I'm too over, if I make

412
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: a birdie before I make a bogie, I go to

413
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: one over.

414
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: Then I feel like I got a chance.

415
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: To shoot even par I can make one more birdie.

416
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: But if I make a bogie before birdie and go

417
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: to three over, what are the chances I'm gonna rattle

418
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: off three birdies?

419
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: I could? But I just know that.

420
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: Especially if I go like since I get to ten

421
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: and I go par par eleven, par twelve and then

422
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: bogie thirteen, well I'm three over with I'm almost five

423
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: to go.

424
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 4: Ye, not really not gonna work.

425
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: But if I go bogie bogie, bogie bogie birdie, WHOA

426
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: just have to get one more So I use the

427
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: same psychological ploy to fool.

428
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: My seven ninety two. I just say bogie before double.

429
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: That's how I view it.

430
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that.

431
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: But does that make sense? And so I think that's

432
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: what the forty twenty thing is.

433
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: I like out.

434
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like it. Maybe you should apply that

435
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: to your hockey coaching, Tennabe, Maybe figure out a way

436
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: just you know, pick a couple of random numbers.

437
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how many.

438
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: How many games do the kids Leo's age usually play.

439
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 4: In the season, thirty ish, maybe thirty thirty five?

440
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: So why don't you do the fifteen before five or

441
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: twenty before ten, twenty before ten?

442
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, do the twenty before ten.

443
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: Though. I don't think with those with kids that age,

444
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: you have to worry about effort, right they love to.

445
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: Play play for the really well, it's not effort, it's

446
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: focused focused. They're nine ten years old. Yeah, that's that's it. Yeah,

447
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: sort of like the kid and right field don't quite

448
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: have that killer instinct yet. Sort of like the kid

449
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: and right field picking Dannylies right.

450
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: You have no idea that age what team you're going

451
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: to get on any given day.

452
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: That's true.

453
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: Or let's take a break. One more segment, Togo, I

454
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: do want to talk some hockey. I want to get

455
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: your thoughts. I am over the Quinnesota thing. I was

456
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: really annoyed with him doing all these traveling around him.

457
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: He's our losses are Quinn's fault time.

458
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: Well, he's Saturday Night Live one night that he's back.

459
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 2: First he plays and he jets over to New York

460
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: on a Saturday line. Then he's back on a plane

461
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: tonight he's doing tonight show. Then he's back with the team.

462
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: It's like Stave Paulwart tomorrow. Well, maybe it's because he's

463
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: finally done with all these.

464
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: At least it's an eight thirty start tomorrow nights. Maybe

465
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: get a hill of time for the nap, maybe maybe

466
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: the afternoon.

467
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why he planned on doing it on Monday.

468
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: Well, break, we'll come back.

469
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: One more segment to go here on the comment Man

00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,400

00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:15,680

Speaker 1: and said.

475
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: Hold on I gotta do this right now. I'm sorry.

478
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 4: Gosh darn it.

479
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: Uh okay, here's what I have for It tend to

480
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: be before we do hockey. The last time that I

481
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: exercised was when I was doing five point fifteen and

482
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: five fifteen. I was back in nineteen ninety nine. I partied.

483
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: I exercised like it was nineteen ninetynine. That was six

484
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 2: weeks before my wedding. I went on the air and

485
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 2: I said, you know, I'd like to lose twenty pounds.

486
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: It was strictly vanity. It was for the wedding pictures. Right.

487
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: Dan Kelly, who became personal trainer guy, he was over

488
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: a lifetime in Woodbury. Then he heard me sent me

489
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: an email or called whatever it was and said I

490
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: can get you twenty.

491
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 4: Pounds six weeks.

492
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: At exactly six weeks, I was down exactly twenty pounds

493
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: and I got toned. The example I always use, I

494
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: didn't look like Mike Morris, you know where like if

495
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: you see Mike Morris and you call out his name,

496
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: he's got to turn his entire body to look at you.

497
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: His neck is so it's like an oak tree. He's

498
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: got to turn this. He can't turn his right. So

499
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be like that, but I got

500
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 2: toned and it was kind of nice, and then I

501
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: let it all go away. So that was nineteen ninety nine.

502
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 3: Is now twenty twenty six.

503
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: I haven't exercised in twenty seven years other than play golf.

504
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: And I don't even know if he counted as exercise.

505
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: If you walk the eighteen, I would I started today, Well.

506
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: I didn't really do a lot.

507
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: I took the garbage out average, so I went out

508
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: to the garage and took the garbage out. I started excess,

509
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: and then I did one hundred jumping jacks, one hundred,

510
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: one hundred. I don't know if that I mean. I

511
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: think most people I'll get ripped. I know, you know

512
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: that's not even that doesn't count. They'll say jumping jacks

513
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: don't do anything for you did those back and forth

514
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: grade third grade, you did jumping jacks.

515
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: I think jumping jacks is great extually. I couldn't even

516
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: remember how to do them, it'd been that long.

517
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: I kept doing this, I kept put of my arms

518
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: down and go on my way, arms up, legs out,

519
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: arms down, legs in.

520
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: I did one hundred. I was and I wasn't winded.

521
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Winded, and I I could have done some.

522
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: More, but I said, then you know what I did. Now,

523
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 3: I think I told you this.

524
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: I did try some planks the other day because I

525
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: heard that's.

526
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: Good for your core.

527
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: But you got to take your just like on a

528
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: push up, you have to take your toes and you're

529
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: up on your toes right well, I have arthritis on

530
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: my feet is so bad.

531
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: The next day, after doing planks.

532
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: From the first time, I couldn't even walk barely because

533
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: they just fled. I googled if you have arthritis in

534
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: the ball joints of your big toe, will planks make

535
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: your arthritis forever?

536
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: And said yes, with like nine exclamation artists like you idiot?

537
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: So now I do them where I got one of those.

538
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: I did push ups today where I put my legs

539
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: out across the ottoman.

540
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: So do you do you know harm? Can you can

541
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: you picture harm?

542
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: To do it?

543
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: It would be like if I is going to do

544
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: a push up right here on the floor here, and

545
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch this floor with my hands, but you

546
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: put your feet up on the chair, right, Yeah, and

547
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: do push ups that way.

548
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: I've heard it's harder to do that way. I did

549
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: twenty of those. You got to start somewhere, right, What

550
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: are you looking up.

551
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: Chances of a sixty seven yeard magnet heart attack after

552
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: doing one hundred jumping jacks.

553
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you. Good for you. And then I

554
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: I got to get back to doing some of that stuff.

555
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: Too, and then I did the push ups too.

556
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: What about burpies, Well, that's usually if I.

557
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: Have a carbonated soda and I drink it too fast.

558
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess I could sit ups. I

559
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: suppose I.

560
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: God's kind of like a push up slash right jumping

561
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: jack combo.

562
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

563
00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: So though, you know, if you're looking to lose weight,

564
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: you can burn four thousand calories playing around the golf.

565
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: If you really want to work at it, you can

566
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: do that.

567
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it to warm up this week because

568
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: Roma needs the workout and I could use some walking

569
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: as well. And you know, a lot of times during

570
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the winter when it's five degrees it's hard to convince

571
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: myself to go for a walk.

572
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: I tried calling.

573
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: Steve will look today over at Oak Marsh to see

574
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: if they're going to open up.

575
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 4: This week they could.

576
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Why he didn't answer the phone, He probably saw it

577
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: with me and he's like, no comment, it's too early

578
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: because the problem is when you see the you know,

579
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: when when the snow melts, like in the neighborhoods, that's

580
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of asphalt around. And yeah, your

581
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: yard melts faster than the golf course, just because the

582
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: golf courses out me always probably going he's going to

583
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: ask if you're ready to open to play golf, and

584
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: I know we don't have the golf course, but I'll

585
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: find out.

586
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get back to him.

587
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: Your wild club is having just a terrific season as

588
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: we know. Trade deadline you say is Friday? Right, Yes,

589
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: you think tro Check is probably the most likely.

590
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: Candidate.

591
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: What's what I'm going with right now?

592
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: What do you got to give up to get a

593
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: guy like tro Check?

594
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: Do you think? I mean, if it's the old they

595
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: probably drive a hard bargain. They know you want them,

596
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: so they probably ask for more than he's one.

597
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: He's not a rental right, so he'd be an under

598
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: contract and a pretty reasonable deal for the next I

599
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: think the two more seasons after this are three seasons

600
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: after this at at like five and a half million ish,

601
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're going with a rental, you

602
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: don't have to give up as much because it's just

603
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: a team. They're going to lose a guy a free

604
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: agency and they're trying to get rid of them. But

605
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: giving he's under contract at a reasonable contract for the

606
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: next three years, my guess is you're gonna have to

607
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: give up a first round pick plus a prospect minimum.

608
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: And the Wild don't have as many prospects, so it's

609
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: hard to know what the New York Rangers are looking

610
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: for for prospects. But you know, I don't know if

611
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Trocheck's won that i'd give up Vall said, for he's

612
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: your top prospect. But they have a Charlie Straymol who

613
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: was a former first.

614
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: Round pick who.

615
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Got off to a bad start in college and Wild

616
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: fans were giving up on him, and he's he's turning

617
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: around at Michigan State and he's going to be a

618
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: power forward.

619
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a center for you.

620
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: He's probably in that range of a prospect you have

621
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: to give up, But like I said, it's hard to

622
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: know who the Rangers like from a prospect standpoint, but

623
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go first round plus of

624
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: prospect minimum. But even like Trocheck, I saw comments from

625
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: the day, like you can tell by his comments he

626
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: knows he's getting traded. Oh really, it's just a matter

627
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: of where and when at this point. And he was

628
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: the same guy. I think I brought this up to

629
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: you before when Team USA was getting their pictures taken

630
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: in Italy, right, they'd have a little session four after practice.

631
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: He took us next to Wild player and each.

632
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Team all the Wild players were out there together, and

633
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: he made the joke up, should I get in on

634
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: this picture too?

635
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 4: Oh he did? Yeah, that was quick to laugher.

636
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think he knows one he's gonna get traded,

637
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: and two he knows the Wild of interest in him

638
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: and he would be a good fit. And you saw

639
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: I know Jewel Rksinek ended up playing yesterday. But the

640
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Wild got a scare when in Utah the other night

641
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: he took a stick to the eye, which is not fun.

642
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: And but I saw his quote today where he basically said,

643
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: not that big of a deal.

644
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: I got lucky, right because he.

645
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: Ended up playing yeah, he ended up playing yesterday, but

646
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: it was that twenty four hour reminder of what happens

647
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: to the team of Juel Harsonet gets hurt because the

648
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: depth falls off fast after him, and so there's probably

649
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: been questions about where the Wild should go. Should they

650
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: get a center, could they survive with like a Stamcoast

651
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: at wing. I think maybe losing what you thought you

652
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: might have lost jewelerks Neck for a little bit might

653
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: make you realize that we should probably get a center,

654
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: because if anything happens to Eck, I don't care what

655
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: else we have else all around us where we just

656
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: don't have the center depth to survive in a playoff

657
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: run without Eki, and we've seen that in previous playoff

658
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: seasons where he's been hurt. So I think they're going

659
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: to go the center out and Trocheck makes complete sense.

660
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: He's a right handed center. They're off on the face

661
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: offf circle. He's one of the best in the faceoff circle.

662
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: And he's also a right shot on the face off,

663
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: which is different than ericson Neck and Eurof and Sturm,

664
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs in the past, they've been bitten

665
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: by the penalty kill and he's good on the penalty kill,

666
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: and he can contribute offensively. He get also played a

667
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: top six center role for you. Yeah, so I think

668
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: that's who they're going to have their eyes on. Whether

669
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: a deal gets consummated, that's another question because obviously other

670
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: teams could potentially throw up more for him than the wildcin.

671
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: Well, and then you know, Sarah just wrote Sarah mcla

672
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: writes for a fish refactory west Side.

673
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: She just did a piece that came out a little

674
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 3: afternoon and it.

675
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 2: Says wild tread trade deadline primer. Vincent Trocheck fits the bill,

676
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: but obtaining him would be costly. So yeah, it's it's

677
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: it's but like I said, and I know, you know

678
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: when I when I said last week, I'm all in,

679
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: and then you said, well but.

680
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: We don't really need to be all and we got

681
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: an open windowless longer.

682
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: And that's what I kind of meant, though you know,

683
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: I wasn't saying it's it's when this year or else.

684
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, as long as we're we're playing

685
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: as well as we are right now, I'm okay saying.

686
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: And I know they're not going to ask me. They

687
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: don't care if I'm okay with it, but I'm okay

688
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: with saying if we got to trade a prospect and

689
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: a good prospect and you know, we have to give

690
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: up what you know, a draft pick, first round draft

691
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: pick as good as we might not get a better

692
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: chance in this year. Now, we hope the windows open

693
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: for a couple more years that we we signed Quinnesota

694
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. But it's like, this is the

695
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: best Wild team there's ever been and you're you're.

696
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: You're right there, You're You're just like, go for it?

697
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 3: Why not? So I'm I you.

698
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: Know again, I know there's people are gonna say, yeah,

699
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: and if they get tro checking up getting bounced in

700
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: the first round, you'll be the first to rip them.

701
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I'll rip them.

702
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: But I still will say that I think it was

703
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: the right thing to do this, not just for the

704
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: for the fans, but for the owner. He wants to win,

705
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: you know, he's one of those guys. I think most

706
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: owners are like him to a certain extent. I would

707
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: think the majority of them they have a team because

708
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: it's cool and they do want to win. They don't

709
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: want to just have a team to have a team.

710
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: Well exception might be the less but the other one

711
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: they want to win and we we already know what

712
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: he can for the exactly and so uh, I'm all

713
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: for it, you know, do whatever you have to do,

714
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: you know, but.

715
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: To a certain extent, yes, yes, right, like to me

716
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: at this stage to give a ball said, I need

717
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: to have it be a high end, high end guy.

718
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: And Trotech's good, don't get me wrong, but there is

719
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: a possibility of being able to get a game.

720
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 4: Changer at some point in the next year or two.

721
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: And if you had another game changer to caprice Off

722
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: and Boldy and Quinnesota, you had a fourth in there,

723
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: there might not be many teams that can match that

724
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So it's to me it's still at what cost.

725
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: I'd love to get tro Check, but at what cost?

726
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: Or I'd love to get somebody else, but at what cost?

727
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Because there might be another window in the next couple

728
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: of years.

729
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: Speaking of prospects, headline Bobby Nightingale, he writes.

730
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 3: Fish Wrap Factory, west Side Beat writer Twins.

731
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: Twins prospect Walker Jenkins sideline in spring camp because of

732
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: a hammy injury.

733
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: You've got to be kidding me.

734
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: He's staying in grade one left Hammy Stranger in his

735
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: only played appearance, trying to beat out at a ground

736
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: ball double play.

737
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 3: This team has now been bitten by the injury.

738
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: Brog early on. We lost Lopez for the year. Looks

739
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: like fest is out a couple of months and fifteen

740
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: what or did that just fifteen?

741
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

742
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: I read in the story that it could they think

743
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: it's posing change. Yes, so maybe it's fifteen, David, that's

744
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: it said, possibly months. And then we know that Royce

745
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: lewis out of how did they phrase that? Out of

746
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: an excessive no caution caution? Yeah, abundant over over abundance

747
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: of caution. They pulled them out when he kind of

748
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: pulled up a little lame running out a bass hit

749
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: or a ground ball or whatever.

750
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: Now, Jenkins, I feel like trying to run out of

751
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: double play is like your prototypical Twins injury.

752
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

753
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: Right, it's another injury on the base pass and it's

754
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: another injury in a failing situation.

755
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: Jenkins, top rated Twins prospect, attempted to beat out a

756
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: ground ball double play in the eighth inning against the

757
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 2: Red Sox.

758
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 3: He played one more happening in center.

759
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: The manager of the Shelton character says it'll be down

760
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: for a bit for me to give you a I'm

761
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: not going to do that, but we had some imaging

762
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: today and that's what we came up with, and with

763
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: a team that's not very deep and at any position really.

764
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: Except again there, I'm looking for it now.

765
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: I was frantically searching for it when you were talking

766
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: prospects for the Wild, because I was immediately going to

767
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: shift to prospects. So the terms that you're saying the

768
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: Wild don't have it, did you say they don't have

769
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: a ton of prospects.

770
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they've traded given them all right,

771
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: Quinn Hughes costs a lot because.

772
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 2: The Twins story I saw and I can't find it now,

773
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: but it basically we're never going to have to draft

774
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: a picture again or sign anybody because we've got eight

775
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: or nine pictures.

776
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 3: I mean the list I think Dan Hayes wrote in

777
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: The Athletic today.

778
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it was where it's like, there's like nine pictures

779
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: that have all this spectacular upside.

780
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: And they probably do it.

781
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: And you know, you can only and I'm not blaming Hayes,

782
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: you can only write, you know, it's it's it's the

783
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: job a sports writer. You go to the people that

784
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: that operate, the team owner, GM, manager, minor league guy,

785
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: and you go, what do you got and what are

786
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: they gonna they're gonna sell you hope, Oh.

787
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 3: You wouldn't believe the guys we got.

788
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: Wait, we got nine guys that could pitch in the

789
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: big leagues right now.

790
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 3: That's how good they are. And then you look at

791
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 3: some of them.

792
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: You know, some of them haven't ever pitched in the

793
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: big leagues, but they're going to be part of the

794
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: rotation someday. And it's not just the pitching rotation. Here's

795
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: another story that I stumbled across. This is an athletic

796
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: one because Dan Hayes. See if it's Hayes or if

797
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: it's Gleaming, hold on, give me a second.

798
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: It's Hayes.

799
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 2: Twins have a trio of outfield prospects waiting in the wings.

800
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 3: Target field could be next.

801
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Rodriguez, Walker Jenkins and Gabriel Gonzales are already comfortable

802
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: playing in the same outfield. Is target fields on the

803
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 2: horizon and it basically.

804
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 4: Says Lining twenty twenty, it's the Silver Lions.

805
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: It says, this is what Dan writes, they're on the

806
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: verge of reaching the big leagues, expecting to be in

807
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: the season only twenty minutes away from target field.

808
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: As they close in on achieving their dreams.

809
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: A trio of Minnesota Twins triple A outfield prospects is

810
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: focused on making developmental strides to better prepare themselves. Even so,

811
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: you need to squint very hard to see a time

812
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: in the near future where Emmanuel Rodriguez, Walker Jenkins, and

813
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: Gabriel Gonzales are all patrolling the Twins outfield.

814
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: They're basically all going to be there together.

815
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: And they all have their upsides, you know, hit for power,

816
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: average run, you know. And not each guy is scouted

817
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: exactly like that. They're not all like a clone, and you.

818
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: Know, and again you can only go with what the

819
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 4: scouts tell you.

820
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 2: And I suppose you look at some of the numbers

821
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 2: they've produced in the in you know, single A, double A,

822
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 2: wherever they've played.

823
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: But it is that you've heard me say this a lot.

824
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,959
Speaker 2: And even though I don't like to repeat myself often

825
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: do it's the old what do you have six players

826
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: all have a good season, then as you're projecting the next.

827
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: Year, you go, boy, they're all probably going to be

828
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: better than that life. No, no, no, no, don't work that way.

829
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: Usually two guys might get better, two guys stay the same,

830
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 2: two guys regress. That's the same thing with these guys.

831
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you have all these prospects, eight or nine

832
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: starting pitchers, or at least guys that are predicted to

833
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: be starters might end up being in a bullpen, and

834
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: you've got these three outfielders.

835
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 3: There's another outfielder.

836
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: Guy. Did you read the story about astro physicist guy, Well,

837
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: this is I don't. We're about to embark on a

838
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: renaissance of Twins baseball if you believe some of these stories.

839
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 2: Where's the hell is? Yeah, this is Alan road and

840
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 2: this is Bobby Nightingale. Alan Roaden, who picked baseball over astrophysics,

841
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 2: becoming big part of Twins future.

842
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: He has an unorthodox batting stance.

843
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: A lefty hitter starts with his bat flat on his

844
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: shoulder until the pitcher's set on the mount with a

845
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: slightly open stance. He raises his front leg as the

846
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: pitcher starts a delivery, bringing his right knet almost at

847
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: any degree angle as he drifts it toward the plate

848
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 2: before launching into his swing in an era that doesn't

849
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: have many unique batting stands, as like Craig Council, Kevin Euculus,

850
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: rod cru Now we're comparing him to Counsel.

851
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 4: Eucalus and rod Cruz already Rodent concenes.

852
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: It may look weird or robotic, and maybe that's fitting

853
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: for Rodent, son of two scientists who entered college dreaming

854
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 2: of becoming an astronomer more than a professional baseball player. Now,

855
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: Shelton says, he's short stock. He kind of built like

856
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: a fullback. He's five eleven and two hundred and fifty

857
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: fifteen pound outfielder. His career three zero two hitters, though

858
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: on the miners tend to me has the potential hit

859
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 2: fifteen homers in a season. He walks as much as

860
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: he strikes out. Roden said, it's un orthodox. We're just

861
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: trying our best here, doing what we can with what

862
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: we've got. So it almost sounds like Shelton's saying, well,

863
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: I got a mold and shape this guy a little bit.

864
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: But apparently this Rodent guy can play a little baseball.

865
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 2: He we got him when we traded Louis, when we

866
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: traded Viarlin that's how we got this guy, you know.

867
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: And again.

868
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 2: We all pretty much pillar read the Twins for the

869
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: for the for the bonfire right they the fire sale right,

870
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: for all the you know, all the bullpen.

871
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: Gone, everybody gone. Louis Viarlin included.

872
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: H but and and and and I and then look

873
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: that should I I don't blame people for having that,

874
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: as their initial initial reaction was mine as well. But

875
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: the proof becomes of who do the players that they

876
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: received in return, these so called prospects, how many of

877
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: them will pan out?

878
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: That's that's obviously, that's the whole trick. And if this

879
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: Roadent kid says.

880
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 2: The Twins acquired the twenty years of road Lance along

881
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: with class Triple A starter Kenry Rojas.

882
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 3: And Rojas is another one of those guys that was

883
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 3: listed in the.

884
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: Nine ten pictures that that are going to be part

885
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 2: of the Twins rotation forever for reliever Louis Louis viarlind

886
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: A road So we got two guys. It's a triple

887
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: A pitcher and this Rodent guy. Now, if Rodent can,

888
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: if he can do a three to zero two batting

889
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: average in the big leagues and hit fifteen home runs,

890
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: and play solid outfield.

891
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 4: That's worth Rudy var that.

892
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 3: That's that's worth it right there.

893
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 2: Then if you add the ROAs kit and he can

894
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: be a picture of some ill repute, well then then

895
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: then it's a good trade. Right now, it still doesn't

896
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: look like one. But we're loaded with prospects with the Twins,

897
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: that's all I know.

898
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: Well you should be when you give away half of

899
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: your major league roster in one season.

900
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: And here's what I'll say, it's really making me feel

901
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 2: like I should buy tickets to the Saint Paul Saints

902
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: game because that's where you got your best team. The

903
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 2: Saints are going to be a better team than the Twins,

904
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: at least on paper. Tend Thanks for having me you
