1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: So with GUARDSI out of town on Friday. I had

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: the opportunity at the Fox nine studios in the Eden Prairie,

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota to do an Enough Said program, the TV show

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: that Ron Rosenbaum founded and that I originally did with him,

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: and then when he sadly passed away Guards, he became

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: the other regular in that chair. Had a chance to

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: do the show with Fox nine's Pierre Nugem. He's filled

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: in several times over the years. Great guy to work with,

9
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: is fit in seamlessly to the program, gets the bit,

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: et cetera. And we get done taping the show, because

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: we tape Nuonish on Friday, I wish it was live.

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I call it live on tape. And after we get done,

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: we're hob nobbing. He's there, Lori Fisher.

14
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: And me among others. And I don't know how.

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: The subject of I think maybe people are talking about

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: their weekend. And I said, well, you know, I got

17
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: the show Sunday whatever. And he said, Nutrim said, so

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: you do Sunday Sermons live. I said yeah, why, he said, well,

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I for some reason, I just thought

20
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: that maybe it was a show you did on tape,

21
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: and I think in his mind, he's thinking, how logical

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: is it that a guy who's been doing it as

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: long as I have and as old as I am

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: is still in addition to the you know, five days

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: a week Monday through Friday, doing a Sunday show getting

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: up after all these years. And I said, no, no, no, no,

27
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: it's it's absolutely live. And I think he kind of

28
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: figured it out last week because he had been listening.

29
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example.

30
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: If this show were taped, let's say, I don't know,

31
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: during the day Friday, or like during the day Saturday,

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: we would not be able to react.

33
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of weeks ago to.

34
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: During our program the United States Men's Olympic hockey team

35
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: winning the golden medal, and today we probably would have

36
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: to pretend that there were not two exceedingly entertaining and

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: dramatic finishes in the Minnesota Boys State High School Hockey

38
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Tournament one A and double it. Right, So I am

39
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: here to testify that this is a live program, this

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: is not on tape. I guess it's something we could

41
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: consider doing. But then that's the embarrassing part. If something

42
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: big happens on a Saturday, or something big happens even

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: early on a Sunday morning. Now, that's not going to

44
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: happen in the sports world very often. We don't have

45
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Olympics to mess with very often, and we'd have a

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: lot of explaining to do. Now, there is the occasion,

47
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: I think when there's a best of on Sunday sermons,

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: like when I'm off and Chad Abbitt can't find anybody

49
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: else to fill in.

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: Correct, that's happened from time to time.

51
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: But Brett Blake Moore, you're here to testify that this

52
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: is live and local right now.

53
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: Correct, we're on the air live nine oh four a m.

54
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: Central daylight time, along with me in the other studio.

55
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: You can testify.

56
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: If we weren't live, then we would, you know, obviously

57
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: be able to react to the state championship winner. So

58
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: congratulations two war Road and congratulations to the other big winner.

59
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: So there you go.

60
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: And those games were brilliant, Yes, the best two of

61
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the best we've ever seen. Correct, I mean it was

62
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: an outstanding night but day and night of high school

63
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: hockey for sure.

64
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Good morning Sunday Sermons.

65
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: It is live. It is local nine until eleven, and

66
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: again it is if you're confused and you did not

67
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: move your clocks. This is the Yesterday was the Saturday

68
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: night late or early Sunday morning. You're supposed to move

69
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: your clocks ahead one hour. I think, what's the break?

70
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: What is it? Officially? Two am becomes three am? Is

71
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: that the hour? I understand, That's what I thought.

72
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when when the clock strikes two in the morning,

73
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: it's actually three in the morning at that point, and

74
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: then from that point forward, hopefully people get caught up,

75
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: and I hope you did as well. Ratchewan Brian Cafean

76
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: text line is open at six four six eight six.

77
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: I mentioned via the.

78
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: Pregame tweet pre show tweet that the the hockey gods

79
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: have smiled yet again upon every hockey fan in this case,

80
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm guessing mainly in the great state of Minnesota, because

81
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: it is difficult to get more entertaining, dramatic championship hockey

82
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: than we saw.

83
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: Twice yesterday.

84
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, the single A game was so mesmerizing

85
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't turn it off. And the double A, of

86
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: course for the Minnetaka community, devastating a devastating blow. They

87
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: twice blow three goal leads right three nothing and four

88
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: to one, and as a result, I guess you could

89
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: say Morehead wins the title for the second consecutive year.

90
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm assuming we have some people in our audience who

91
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: are there. Has anybody done an intervention or a wellness

92
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: check on Zach Halverson this morning?

93
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: Is he okay?

94
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did brilliantly, But you want to talk

95
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: about overtime duty. He had to have been emotionally spent.

96
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Yesterday.

97
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: Have you talked to Halvey? I have not personally talked

98
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: to Halvey. I do have the winning goal? Oh good, okay,

99
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: which game? Well, oh good, let's do it.

100
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Allness is on the first, but here's Alvey on the second. Okay,

101
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: fair enough.

102
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: Back at the point here he'll slide it to his

103
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: right to Zimmerman. Zimmerman hard across the zone. Now it's Nicholson.

104
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: Why fire the shot wide of the goal rebound Zimmerman.

105
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: Zach Zimmerman tie it up with thirty five points six

106
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 5: seconds to go.

107
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 6: The next door to four.

108
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: So that was the time.

109
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: That was the time goal, which is big too because

110
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: again they're down for to one in the third and

111
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 1: so that extends the game and leads to the game winner.

112
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: Unintentionally did that so that's before all the overtimes. Right,

113
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: here's the after all the overtimes.

114
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: Come on. Work for me? Please? Is it stuck? Is

115
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: it stuck? What happened? What happened to the technical expertise

116
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: that you've you've shown over the decades. Is it gone?

117
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

118
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: You keep working on it.

119
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take a look at the Bradshawn Bryant KFE

120
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: text line.

121
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: You got it?

122
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I will in five seconds five seconds, Dan explaining daylight

123
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: saving time.

124
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: Get out the popcorn.

125
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: Yes, it's it's compelling, it's scintillating radio is it now?

126
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, we're stuck with that again because we're live.

127
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean we could lie and ten like, hey, you

128
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: know we tape this on Saturday, we're still gonna be

129
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: talking about daily saving time.

130
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: We would never do that to the audience. All right,

131
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: let's go wholesale change for the spots.

132
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: Most change here for the Skippers with the puck is

133
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: Tate Hartiker from Minnetaka.

134
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: It's pulped off his tip. Morehead takes over next.

135
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: Calling with a quick pass here up the right wing

136
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: side of here's water with a shot.

137
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: The spots, like I said in double overtime, nicely played

138
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: and did you notice he was how much rockier his

139
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: voice sounded between I mean just from like a few

140
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: well actually it was more than a few minutes ago,

141
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: because that was the second overtime, but not that much

142
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: time it transpired. His voice sounded fresh on the game

143
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: tiangal in uh at the end of regulation, but then

144
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: I think with what there was, I think with thirty

145
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: five seconds left, but then the game winner in the

146
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: second ot sound like his voice was shot. He left it,

147
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: Halvey obviously left it all out on the table right

148
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: here on the via the iHeartMedia app right quick before

149
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: and after.

150
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: Okay, Nicholson back at the point here, he'll slide it

151
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: to his right to Zimmerman.

152
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: Very normal to wholesale change for the Spuds. Change here

153
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: for the Skippers with the pucket minute when they scored,

154
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: he gave it one last.

155
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: That's the already I agree with you. It was almost like, Okay,

156
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: I gotta get that. I gotta get more of that

157
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: end of regulation voice back for the game winner, and

158
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: he did.

159
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: He scored. Was once again very dramatic. Let's listen up

160
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: the right way side. Here's the wonder with a shot.

161
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Spuds, Like I said, double overtime, extended the scores beautifully.

162
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: He found a way, he summoned up from somewhere. He

163
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: planted his feet, is what he did, and said, I

164
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: have to be up to this moment. So yesterday again

165
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: and last night classic thrill of victory, agony of defeat moments.

166
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, here's here's the other side of things. If

167
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: you want to listen to the fondness. Oh this is so.

168
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: This is the game one, a all the time winner.

169
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, we're hoping here for war Old drop pass

170
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: set to the.

171
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 7: Podcast, Ryan Saga Bay Mooney was the overtime winner one

172
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 7: minute in overtime, and for the first time since two

173
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 7: thousand and five, the war Old Warriors are state tamps.

174
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Why Danny, Ryan, there you go? So it I think

175
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: I have this accurate. In the war Road game, they're

176
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: on the they're on the verge of devastation because they

177
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: have blown or I guess you could say, to the

178
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: credit to the other team has scored three straight goals

179
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: to seemingly steal the game in the third period late right,

180
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: and then Warroad gets the late goal in regulation as well,

181
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: in that case forty six seconds to go to extend

182
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: the game.

183
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: Right, that's the So in both.

184
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Games we had you know, three goal leads blown, one

185
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: could say, but in the case of war Road, they

186
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: recovered from that and with the late goal at the

187
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: end of regulation and they end up winning it as well.

188
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: So again, if you were there, text me Brat Schawan

189
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Brian Kafan text line sixty four to six eighty six,

190
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: and as a combo platter, you know, I think I

191
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: saw the I read somewhere that for the first time

192
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the single A game, at least in terms of announced

193
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: attendance ten thousand. It was ten thousand and change at night,

194
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: the I think it was they could have probably.

195
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Had twenty thousand people in there. It looked very packed.

196
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: No matter what level of the arena formerly known as

197
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: the X that we saw huge crowds.

198
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: But the one A game felt big to me.

199
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: And I think that some of that is again it

200
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: is built up over a period of time and has

201
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: sort of developed, in this case kind of its its

202
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: own identity. I guess I should say again for Minnetonka,

203
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: what a devastating blow three nothing lead and then a

204
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: four to one lead that they were unable to hold.

205
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: I actually thought there was a chance and this was

206
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: the The game winner was in the second ot, which

207
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: is the irregulation. I think seventeen minutes. The first ot

208
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: was eight right after a short break. I think it's eight,

209
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: and I actually thought this might be one where I

210
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: might have to get in my car and head east.

211
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: I thought it had the double a game, had the

212
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: possibility of a marathon overtime game. But it was interesting because,

213
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there were good scoring opportunities, you could say,

214
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: but not great ones in the short ot. And maybe

215
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: at that point people are just tired and they do

216
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: need the break because you have then a longer break

217
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: right between overtime periods one and two.

218
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: But a very compelling day and night.

219
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: And as I said, the the hockey gods are on

220
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: a roll right in depending on how you.

221
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: Want to look at it.

222
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Because we had was it two weeks ago, the US

223
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: men's Olympic hockey team winning the goal. You have the women,

224
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: obviously in dramatic fashion, winning the goal previously that week,

225
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: the men win it all sorts of Minnesota representation right

226
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: in the case of both teams. Billy Garren is in charge.

227
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: On the men's side, you have the wild coming out

228
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: of the break with a very nice victory against the Lanch.

229
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: They slipped a little bit after that, but then most

230
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: recently had a nice victory against Vegas correct and didn't

231
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: one of the new guys score a goal.

232
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, m had a little reirection.

233
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: So everybody, even going into the the the the the

234
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: weekend and the high on the high school hockey tournament,

235
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: it's feeling pretty good about what the hockey gods are

236
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: providing specifically to this market and this market's representation. And

237
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: then it was almost like they said, well, let's just

238
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: keep going, you know, why not.

239
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Let's make this one of those years.

240
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably why Wild fans are hopeful

241
00:14:54,080 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: that something mystical might continue with at the very least

242
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: a run towards the Stanley Cup.

243
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: If not winning the Stanley Cup, which of course would

244
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: be the ultimate.

245
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Then then we would we would probably be talking about, well,

246
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: it would be if if, the if, the impossible happens

247
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and the Wild get to the Cup and win it. This, however,

248
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: many months stretch, four month stretch, three month stretch, would

249
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: have to be considered the greatest in the history of

250
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: the state of hockey.

251
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Would it not. You put together the Olympic gold Men

252
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: and women.

253
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: As I said, a mythic state tournament ending in such

254
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: dramatic fashion in both games, and then a cup there'd

255
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: be no of course by definition would have to because

256
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: we've never won a cup, right, yeah, there, it would

257
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: be hard to top it.

258
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: Am I asking for too much? Do you think?

259
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Do you think at some point you got to say, okay,

260
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: enough this was I Let you have your fun. But

261
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: let's not be unrealistic about also expecting at the end

262
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: of this to be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

263
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: It's it's got to be the most excitement and euphoria

264
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: we've ever experienced between it is a gold medal game

265
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: just on zone, the two of them, but just because

266
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: of the long drought for the men forty six years.

267
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: That to me, I mean it.

268
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: We were talking about it during the live reaction and

269
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: on sermons and worst case where it felt like your

270
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: team won a big championship, like it felt like like

271
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: like I've never experienced something where I can just beat

272
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: They did it. They won so and then the fact

273
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: that the Wild are one of the best teams in

274
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: hockey and looking like they can make a run at

275
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: least past the first round.

276
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: That's that's exciting too.

277
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: Dan, I had tickets to the one A game, sold

278
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: them and pocketed five hundred dollars.

279
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: Ish, wow, I wanted to go. I usually go to

280
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: one session of year. It couldn't do it. The shit

281
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: too busy? Do you have too much stuff? I couldn't

282
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 3: find any There's nothing really and we were literally looking

283
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 3: at like Facebook marketplace, who were selling them for like

284
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: one fifty a pop.

285
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Man, but a wild game's cheaper than that, that's true.

286
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: Why do they play at noon and then seven? Why

287
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: not a big double header? That's Jeff and dalouth. I

288
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: feel like we've discussed this book.

289
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: That's why. Yeah, but if if, if people have.

290
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: Insight into the history, I'm not exactly sure that would

291
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: have to be it right? You want your your you're

292
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: pocketing more money. How you're going to get people in

293
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: and out right? If it's back to back or much

294
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: closer to back to back than noon and seven. I

295
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: tried to listening to Halbey last night, but go over

296
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: basketballs on the fan? Was it on AM radio that's

297
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: from six to one to two? Guy our hockey? I'm

298
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: assuming it was on the plus it was ninety six seven.

299
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: I wish I again, I I six P two. I

300
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: feel bad that you didn't get there.

301
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: The rule you should.

302
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: Go with from this point forward if you can, is

303
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: download the iHeartRadio app. And I guarantee you that if

304
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: you download it, you're not gonna have to worry about

305
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: AM radio or PM radio or FM radio or terrestrial whatever,

306
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: any of that because and maybe I don't know, maybe

307
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: he didn't have access to the Internet.

308
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure.

309
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: But if you get that our stations, all of our

310
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: stations will come up. And it's pretty simple, even if

311
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: you don't know which station has a given broadcast.

312
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 2: It's a touch of the button. You know, your your

313
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: finger on the button.

314
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: It's it's not that difficult to do, and you'll find

315
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: out almost immediately. Right, It's not that hard, But that's

316
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: what I would suggest. That way, then you don't have

317
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to guess, you don't have to wonder.

318
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: You can even make all the stations a preset good point,

319
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: and then you can just start tapping away until you

320
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: find the right one.

321
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: And how much does this cost you, Scott?

322
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: Surely it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg,

323
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: AND's gonna cost you a subscription service of some sort.

324
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: Right, I was told it was free.

325
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was told the free Wow, it's just you

326
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: just you just downloaded. It's as it's as simple as that.

327
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: As you say you can, you can have your presets

328
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: even better. Definitely felt a little bad for the talk

329
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: of kids laid out in agony.

330
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: Well, we saw a lot of that.

331
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: We saw that after the one o'clock game, We saw

332
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: that after the evening game.

333
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: It's always the nature of it. But when you.

334
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: Lose in that dramatic fashion and you're a heavyweight. Minnetauka

335
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: is a heavyweight, right, They were the number one seed

336
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and you've twice had three goal leads, you're thinking you're

337
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: in a pretty good position.

338
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I can't imagine.

339
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: The h the devastation there as well. I should know

340
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: better went to bed as it looked like Minnetaka had

341
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: that game in the after two. Had to look twice

342
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: when reading the recap this morning. Spuds came back and

343
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: won it. That just doesn't happen. Yes it does. That's

344
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: Bob checking in from Roseville. Seriously, Fallmus went crazy with

345
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: his game winner call love it. M just think if

346
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: we had video footage or the call like to do

347
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: for Pa in the box Box.

348
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Why didn't we do that with Halvey?

349
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: Or is that too hard to do? Technically?

350
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: We've done that in the past, I think with Halvey,

351
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: haven't we In situations that is a good little touch

352
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: when you have the video in the booth to get

353
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: that reaction in addition to the call.

354
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they had it at one point earlier

355
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: in the tournament, but I have yet to have it

356
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 3: come across my desk for you.

357
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: Is is Halvey a smoker?

358
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

359
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: I wondered, because it possible between regulation and OT he

360
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of heaters smoker of what question?

361
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's very very true. But Dan, how can

362
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: you not know that two am goes to three am?

363
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I does it really matter? I mean,

364
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: does it matter whether it's two am to three a m.

365
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: Or three am to four am? I don't know.

366
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: I just I'm sorry if I failed some.

367
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: Knowledge test by not being one hundred percent sure when

368
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: the change took place.

369
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: You wake up, it's different. You wake up it's.

370
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: Different, and that's where you got to make sure you

371
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: take care of it. If you have to get up

372
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: on time. Remember Zach said it takes him three weeks

373
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: to recover from daylight saving time.

374
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 3: When you said has anyone had wellness check on Halvey,

375
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: I thought that might be what you're referring to.

376
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's that's true, very true.

377
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: By the way, this isn't aside, but what happened at

378
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: the end of the dining game, the a Dina loss,

379
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: that looked bad. We we don't usually see.

380
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: We're not supposed to see. It's a state of hockey.

381
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: But at the high school level, when it comes to brawling,

382
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: especially in our grand showcase, we're not supposed to have that,

383
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: are we. That didn't look good to me. That did

384
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: not look like good sportsmanship. Was that Dyna frustration playing

385
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: out where they got a little out of they they

386
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't handle the fact that they weren't gonna win.

387
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: None of that looked good.

388
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: And I think there was a ref in the middle

389
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: of that too, who got knocked over or was trying

390
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: to cause it was. Then it seemed to start to stabilize,

391
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: and then another fight of some sort broke out.

392
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: That was not a good look. That was the one.

393
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: That's the one blemish I would say on the the

394
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: state high school hockey tournament our crown jewel event that

395
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: that part did not go.

396
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: Very well. Uh to that end, if.

397
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: Morehead could have also dispatched why Ze in addition to

398
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: a Dina in Tanca, they would have achieved the metro

399
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: area of satisfaction TRIFECTA.

400
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 4: Wow.

401
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Tough book ends with Dinas mister Hockey throwing punches after

402
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: their game and the Taca guys tearing they're unworthy of

403
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: touching our skin second place metals from their next I

404
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't see that.

405
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't speak to that.

406
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: Was there a he's describing it, nine five to two guys,

407
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: A prolonged poutfest?

408
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 4: Was there?

409
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: I didn't see the metal ceremony. I will say I

410
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: did not see how that that went. If is that,

411
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: that may not, I'm not sure if that's a fair representation,

412
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: is it? Do we now find out that gorg was wrong,

413
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: that actually the most dangerous lead in hockey is the

414
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: three goal lead, not the two goal lead, which as

415
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: we said, Minnetaka had twice.

416
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: Right.

417
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing is that is that didn't

418
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: war Road also have a three goal lead? I believe, yeah,

419
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: they it was two goals whatever it was. They also

420
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: were in a position. Now what they did is they

421
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: were able to save it. But that's the other I mean,

422
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: that's the other thing that that occurred to me is

423
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: I think in championship games we do think of leads

424
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: like that, right, three to one lead. I guess as

425
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: I should say, Warrow had had a three to one

426
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: lead and then their opponents scored himming Chisholm scored three

427
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: in a row and then suddenly that's when war Road

428
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: needed the late goal to extend the game. We tend

429
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: to think of when we get to this level, that

430
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: can be that many goals or you're you're if you're

431
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: down three, you're pretty much cooked. Right, That's the sort

432
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: of That's what added I think to the to the

433
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: drama of it, is that the the team down kept coming.

434
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's we went long in the first segment.

435
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: We will indeed get caught up. Keep the text coming

436
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: bratch on Brian K Fan text line six four six

437

442
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: Saturday morning to snow, they tell me, the weather terrorists

443
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: tell me that we may exceed sixty degrees by later

444
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: this afternoon. So it's March, and these sorts of extremes

445
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: were accustomed to.

446
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 2: But they're not.

447
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: They're always cruel, I think sure to say this is

448
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: from eight four seven.

449
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 5: Guy.

450
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I was at the nineteen seventy tournament at the Old

451
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: matt home of the North Stars. In ninety seventy the

452
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: boys hockey tournament the lower brackets, Saint Paul Johnson be

453
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: Greenway four to three in five overtimes, then in the

454
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: semi final Hedynab Johnson two to one in three ots,

455
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: and then in the championship Minneapoli Southwest bad Dinah one oh,

456
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 1: also in ot. I'll take him at his word. That's uh,

457
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: that goes back aways. That's a long time, but that

458
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: would be an extremely a good, good run of what

459
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: has been a terrific tournament obviously over the years. Say

460
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: it isn't so, but a few people are confirming that

461
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: they have like a kind of a formal postgame press

462
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: conference and apparently let me find the tweet in question.

463
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: This is from Heather Rule, longtime Intrepid reporter. Minnetaka did

464
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: not meet with the media for the postgame press conference.

465
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: That is, as Johnny Athletic suggests in responding to it

466
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: last night, unfortunate after such an incredible game.

467
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: None of that's easy.

468
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: These are high school kids, We get that, but you'd

469
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: like to think at the adult level there'd be an ability,

470
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, to say, this is part of what we,

471
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, we got to deal with. I really don't

472
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: think they were was anybody going to put, in all seriousness,

473
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: a high school team in the position where they're going

474
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: to savage them for losing the two three goal leads.

475
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that generally happens.

476
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: It's it's factual that that's what happened, But I don't

477
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: think I think people were going to look at it

478
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: as well, you know, dramatic, great comeback, tough way to lose,

479
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Somebody else said that though that

480
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: in terms of this is this is this a new

481
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: tradition where if you don't win, you rip your metals off.

482
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: Because I think somebody said that one of our texters

483
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: claims that hibbing did players did the same thing.

484
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to turn all this into.

485
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: A Wagnerian opera, but would seem as if certain sportsmanship

486
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: rules you'd like to think would stay in place. And

487
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: that's not easy at a time like that. We get that, right,

488
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: It can't be easy at all, but I will I

489
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: will tell you I that's disappointing, unfortunate, because I don't

490
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: think you want anything that takes away from what should be.

491
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, two classic finishes, even if you're on

492
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: the on the wrong side of them. That's that's what

493
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: That's what you want the discussion to be about. And

494
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: I think it is important, after even after devastating moments

495
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: like that, for the adults at least to convey to

496
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: to to send the proper message, No, we're not running

497
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: from this, We're not we're down, We're we're gonna be okay,

498
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: and had a great run the whole bit.

499
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: Come on, love the grum guy. Rights. Don't tell Fallness.

500
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know him personally, but feel his ego might

501
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: be bigger than Commons prostate. Zach's call was way better.

502
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Shots fired hermantown. We don't need any of that do

503
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: we Would you rather win the first third place game

504
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: or lose the championship game? That's from Papa Taco. I

505
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: think that's easy for me. We've talked about that issue

506
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: over the years. I'd rather lose the championship game, wouldn't you.

507
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: In the Olympics, I'd probably rather lose the championship the

508
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: state championship. I might actually go the other way, just

509
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: because an Olympic silver medals is still a big deal.

510
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 3: Where you know that you don't want to grow up

511
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: thinking oh well, and maybe you just get over it.

512
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I think it's a good question.

513
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: But I probably lose the championship and love the grum gown.

514
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: Wanting to be sure that Fallness does not actually get

515
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: his larger than commons prostate sized ego bruised says it's

516
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: all in good fun, doesn't necessarily mean it. Jake and Egan,

517
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: who cares what the second placed team did with the metals?

518
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: They're mad can do whatever they want with them. Should

519
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: be a non story, I would say, respectfully to Jake.

520
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: They can do whatever they want with them. People are

521
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: also allowed to observe it and react to it however

522
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: they want.

523
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: To So is it a non story? Did we lead

524
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: with it?

525
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: No, We're thirty seven minutes into the broadcast and we

526
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: are now touching on it. But yeah, you know, whatever

527
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: you want. But it's it's people, It's it's.

528
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: A visual medium.

529
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's watching this thing, and I don't think it's a

530
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: particularly distinguished look. I admit it's easy for me to

531
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: be detached because I'm not in the middle of it,

532
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: and these are kids, and that's why I keep putting

533
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: bringing it more back to You'd like to think the

534
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: adults could do a little better job of setting the example.

535
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: Does that impune the integrity of everybody involved with the program?

536
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 7: No?

537
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. But uh, it's it's fair game.

538
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: We're allowed to talk about it, We're allowed to react

539
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: to it because in fact, people are talking about it

540
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: and reacting to it, whether Jake wants them to or

541
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: or not. Have we had a couple of people are asking, Uh,

542
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: I guess we already would have had.

543
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking the the twice.

544
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: A year stories of hyperventilation, the debate about should we be,

545
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: why are we why do we change uh to to

546
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: to daylight saving time at all? And then the studies

547
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: that indicate that it takes the average person six months

548
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: to recover, and then by the time they recover, it's

549
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: time to make the change again. That sort of thing

550
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: which I just I tend to believe that you can

551
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: milk it if you want to, but that most people,

552
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: most most people, especially adults, I think, are able to

553
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: lose or able to deal with it a little bit

554
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: better than they're told that they're dealing with it. And

555
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens is if you have so

556
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: called experts continually telling you no, you're not handling it

557
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: as well as you think, you don't even realize what

558
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: it's doing to your body and to your system, you

559
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: start believing it.

560
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: I thought I was actually okay, but maybe not.

561
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: Not.

562
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: Come to think of it, I have felt off a

563
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: little bit.

564
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the reason you get pounded it this pounded India,

565
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, a week, year after year, twice a year.

566
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it's not surprising that people

567
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: start believing the hype. As we like to say in

568
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: the in the business. Again, we're gonna argue about the metals,

569
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: but if there's a formal event that is generally attended,

570
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: as hard as that is, it should be attended as

571
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, because yet I'd say as easy

572
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: as it is to be philosophical the day after, and

573
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: as difficult as it is at that moment, because that's

574
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: probably the last thing you want to do. You had

575
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: a great season, you had a great run that ended

576
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: badly against a team that was very good, defending champion

577
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: for God's sake, and you know, made the plays that

578
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: it needed to make to win. So's you don't have

579
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: to run from anything because people aren't going to pound

580
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: on you. They're not even going to ask you the

581
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: same questions I think that you're going to you tend

582
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: to get as you get to the to the college

583
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: game end is certainly to the professional games as well.

584
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: We do have, believe it or not, other stuff that

585
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: we're going to discuss today, including a sneaky reminder that

586
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: has been offered up regarding the potential improvement of the

587
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings offense, and it has nothing to do in

588
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: this case. If you say you're sick of the quarterback discussion,

589
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: this particular warning has zero to do with the quarterback position,

590
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: or you could argue it has everything to do with

591
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: giving the quarterback the best chance to succeed.

592
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: We're going to get to that.

593
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: We're going to get to some professional hockey. We're going

594
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: to get to some professional basketball. Although the while I

595
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: should say the Wolves performance was not particularly professional, one

596
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: could say Mattine affair yesterday. Although they weren't going to

597
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: go undefeated the rest of the season, it was not

598
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: a very representative performance against the Orlando Magic. That was

599
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: a matinee game, by the way, and a couple of

600
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: other items between now and eleven o'clock. After a very

601
00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: short pasty Dan Minnesota reminds us that on this day

602
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: in Minnesota sports history, here were the top two.

603
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings headlines.

604
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 1: Dateline Fort Lauderdale, Florida Byeline Kevin Seffert, an anonymous tipster

605
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: has sparked an NFL inquiry into Vikings coach Mike Tice

606
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: and one of his assistants for possible violations of the

607
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: league Super Bowl ticket policy, The Start Debuting and other

608
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: media outlets learned this week. At the time, Tyson denied

609
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing, but acknowledged meeting with two league investigators at

610
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: Winter Park same day. Mark Craig's story headline smoot now

611
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: in Vikings Corner Fans clamoring for the Vikings to loosen

612
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: the death grip on their league high thirty one million

613
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: dollars in spending money. We'll be happy to know the

614
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: team jump back into free agency with both horns. Tuesday evening,

615
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: they agreed to terms with former Washington defensive back Fred Smoot,

616
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: regarded as the best corner left in free agency, and

617
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: tight end Jermaine Wiggins, their leading receiver in two thousand

618
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: and four. Neither of those stories worked out very well,

619
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: okay do for Mike Tye on the scalping, and for

620
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: Fred Smoot and and and the Vikings that marriage didn't

621
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: work out very well. In fact, my recollection is that

622
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: very quickly upon that signing becoming official and Smoot doing

623
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: his first press conference, the plan was he was going

624
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: to become a weekly regular on the Bumper to Bumper program.

625
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: And I think that lasted like about three weeks. But

626
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: the will you look up the famous Fred Smoot quote

627
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: about water covers such and such a part of the world,

628
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: and Fred Smoot covers the rest of it, you could

629
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: find it. It was something like that, and we were

630
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: all very very excited, but he did not go particularly well.

631
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: Ultimately, I don't think so the curse was around back then.

632
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: There's no question telling me, yeah, pretty much, that's true.

633
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: Here's the quote. Okay, two thirds of the world is

634
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: covered by water. The rest is covered by Fred Smooth.

635
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 2: It's just so good, just so good.

636
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of Mark Craig, I don't know how many of

637
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: you read his analysis, not about the Vikings quarterback situation,

638
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: although it's related to it. Here's the headline, why the

639
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: Vikings have no greater need than center heading into free agency,

640
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: and he reminds us and I guess I had forgotten this.

641
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: The Vikings already have the league's highest paid offensive line,

642
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: highest paid even without replacing the I guess you could

643
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: say outgoing center who announced his retirement.

644
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: What was I think?

645
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: Officially he announced at Friddy Ryan Kelly. That turned out

646
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: to be a disaster. Kelly could not stay on the field,

647
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: he had concussion issues, and ultimately he is moving on.

648
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: You will call last offseason we spent nine mil on Kelly.

649
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: We spent seventeen and a half million on guard Will

650
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Fries and at the time the sixth highest paid players

651
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: at their positions. And what Craig is laying out in

652
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: good fashion is that the elephant in the room is

653
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: the center. Is the absence of reliability at the center position.

654
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: You could certainly argue that it was very risky to

655
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 1: sign Kelly in the first place, given his own history.

656
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: He ended up missing nine games three concussions, his career

657
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: total on concussions now six. So he also points out

658
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: this credit that the level of vulnerability this team has

659
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: at a key position. This is me talking, not what

660
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: he wrote, is part of what takes it hard to

661
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: take this franchise seriously about their big, serious aspirations. Example,

662
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: in his words, last year's best Plan B Blake Brandell

663
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: was an emergency third stringer who never played the position

664
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: as in ever, that is.

665
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: Alarming.

666
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 1: He notes that this year's Plan A needs to be better, younger,

667
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: and more durable, which reads expensive for sure, But then

668
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: you've got to make the right decision. He reminds us,

669
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: we're paying Dari Saw twenty six million a year, that's

670
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: fourth among left tackles, Brian O'Neill eighteen point five million

671
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: a year, ninth among right tackles.

672
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: They're overpaying on.

673
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: Prize, who, as he said, at least played every game

674
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: last year. So the notion he says of starting Brandell

675
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: or Michael Jurgens, a former seventh round pick whose value

676
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: as even a backup is questionable. Pretty much defeats the

677
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: purpose of spending all that money elsewhere along the line.

678
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: You cannot hide in.

679
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: An inferior center, especially if your quarterback is young and jumpy.

680
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea who he might be talking about there.

681
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: The best and most expensive target at center is Baltimore's

682
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum. He's a monthshive of his twenty sixth birthday,

683
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: three time pro bowler. He's expected to set a new

684
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: market for centers at more than eighteen million dollars a

685
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: year if Baltimore lets him walk, he writes, when he

686
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: come to Minnesota, probably not, especially if Josh Allen and

687
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: the Bills need a center to replace free agent Connor McGovern,

688
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: would McGovern come here? His market value is listed a

689
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: sixteen point three million, twenty eight durable, versatile, been a

690
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: mainstay on a Super Bowl contender.

691
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: He throws out a couple of other names. The moral

692
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 2: of the.

693
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: Story is that we can debate forever what the best

694
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: answer is at quarterback. Who you bring in to at

695
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: the very least challenge JJ McCarthy or perhaps had the

696
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: starting job too. We can talk about that endlessly, but

697
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: until you resolve the ongoing center interior offensive line nightmare

698
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: for this club, is it gonna matter? Is it really

699
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: going to matter that much whether it's a jumpy young

700
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: quarterback or it's a jumpy older quarterback in Kyler Murray,

701
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: I say older, not that he's because he's old, but

702
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: because he was obviously older than JJ McCarthy or anyone

703
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: else that you might want to bring in.

704
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: If I want to bring.

705
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: In, if I want to stubbornly stick to the bumper

706
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 1: to bumper fantasy of finding a way to get Aaron

707
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: Rodgers here, does that make any sense? If you have

708
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: the open hole at the center position, you've got nothing

709
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 1: established at the center position at all. Now we're clearing

710
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money. We don't know what the vision is.

711
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it is to spend on the center, but it's

712
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: a little scary that we've already have the most expensive

713
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: offensive line in football. Have we seen a return on that?

714
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: In general? I know we like our tackles, we think

715
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: we improved our guards. But again, if your center is

716
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: as vulnerable as a position as it has been, is

717
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: it foolhardy to argue about any of the other issues.

718
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: Don't know.

719
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: At least there's some names he threw out. There's some

720
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 1: possibilities there. But again, if you're like the best guy

721
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: on the market, why you know, why are you gonna

722
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: come here? You're gonna have better options, You're gonna have

723
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: teams I think further along in the playoff continuum than

724
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: we are. I guess you could always overpay, but then

725
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: you get back to the issue of how much can

726
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: this team afford to overpay at this position, at any

727
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: position as well. So it's an important reminder that shouldn't

728
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: be lost in our ongoing obsession, my ongoing obsession over

729
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: what to do at the quarterback position. I do want

730
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: to get back to some of that. We discussed it

731
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: with Robert Smith on Friday. He sounded pretty on board.

732
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: With Kyler Murray, I'm not as on board.

733
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: I want to.

734
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: Explain why a little bit now or number two and

735
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: maybe get some opinions from the audience. Via the branch

736
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: On Bryant kfan text line, it's the for the New Year,

737
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: the first Daylight Saving Time edition of Sunday Sermons back

738
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: with the second hour Power Number two Sunday Sermons Burrow

739
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: and blakemore with you till eleven o'clock today or this morning,

740
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: I should say, can you find then hit the breaking

741
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: news sounder for me?

742
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: Bred Blake morning? What was your favorite?

743
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get Bill center Connor McGovern on the

744
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: rebound moment. He has re signed despite the belief that

745
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: he might move on. The Bills have found a way

746
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: to retain the Pro Bowl center, so another option is

747
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: gone by the wayside. Maybe this is a bountiful year

748
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: at the center position in the draft. I wouldn't know.

749
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: It's very possible, and maybe that's how it's going to

750
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 1: work out. A butt sweat guy. You saw what happened,

751
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: a butt sweat guy, Garrett Bradbury. He gets traded back

752
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: into the Division, as we discussed Friday by New England

753
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: to the monsters of the Midway, the Chicago Bears.

754
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 2: And before you.

755
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: Mock and ridicule as you did Friday as a packer guy. Yes,

756
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: the return of him the division. Maybe he's not as

757
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: bad as he looked here because maybe we don't know

758
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: what the hell how to put together an offensive line.

759
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's because he certainly seemed to handle himself capably

760
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: for a team that went, I believe all the way

761
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: to the bull, so we'll find out.

762
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: I get it.

763
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be too little, easy to overpower, and

764
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: maybe that will follow suit. I'm not sure, but I

765
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: just don't think we can be the Vikings can be haughty. Hell,

766
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: they made an offensive line coaching change that almost seemed

767
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: to be an acknowledgment. It's either fall guy material or

768
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: we have a problem there, so we can't get haughty.

769
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't think about anything regarding putting together an offensive line,

770
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: who we retain, who we signed this last off season,

771
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: et cetera. All those things need to be taken under consideration.

772
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: Dan not to rain on the parade, but to me,

773
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: the heartbeat of hockey in this state was strongest in

774
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: the nineties, when Spihar had the back to back hat

775
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: tricks to win the Attorney and when every game at

776
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: WCA meant something. That's Dan from Rainy Lake, I'm not here.

777
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: My intent in the first hour of the show was

778
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: not to say that the hockey we saw play out

779
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: in Saint Paul yesterday represented the best high school hockey

780
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. The point of the conversation was to

781
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: say it certainly upheld a significant tradition and gave us

782
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: those sorts of memorable finishes that hold up nicely. That

783
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: was the point I'm not interested, frankly, in the debate

784
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: of which hockey was stronger. Doesn't really matter to me

785
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: what you can't, I think, walk away from.

786
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: It's not whether it's the best.

787
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: It's whether it's compelling, whether it's competitive, whether it's dramatic,

788
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: And we saw all that play out the ESPN style debates.

789
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 2: Of was this era of hockey? But I don't care.

790
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't appeal to me.

791
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: And beyond that, I don't think in part of the

792
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: issue discussion in the first hour of the show was

793
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: just the sort of hockey gods.

794
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: Role we're on right now.

795
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: With a great deal of connection to what took place

796
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: in Italy. Internationally, regarding Minnesota representation, we've never done what

797
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: we did before there.

798
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: Men and women.

799
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: So it wasn't about trying to say this is the

800
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: best damn high school hockey we have ever seen, necessarily,

801
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: or the most compelling, or the Golden era or whatever

802
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: it was to say we're on the kind of historic

803
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: hockey role because the things that are conspiring to come

804
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: together right now already have not happened, and then we

805
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: tried to just get into the fantastical part about can

806
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: it be continued with at the very least the Wild

807
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: making a significant playoff run, which I get they still

808
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: have to do.

809
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: They still have to get out of round one. No

810
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: one is more aware than the hockey ambassador.

811
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: No one has brought that up the lack of playoff

812
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: success for the Minnesota while more often than the Hockey ambassador.

813
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: So it's all there. It's all related. I think to

814
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: the same subject. A lot of people think that Kyler

815
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: Murray will be by this time on sermons next Sunday,

816
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: It'll be Kyler Murray all the time, and.

817
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 2: We'll deal with it. If that's the case.

818
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: I just have to be honest and say I'm not

819
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: thrilled by it.

820
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it can't work.

821
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it isn't necessarily the best of

822
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot of available options to this team. I'm just

823
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: not inspired by him. I'm not willing. I think it's

824
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: too easy to let him off the hook. Well, what

825
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: has he had around him and the upheaval and coaching

826
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: changes and how much talent did he have?

827
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: All that sort of thing.

828
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: Last four seasons quarterback rating, not the QBR, but the

829
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: talking about the old fashioned rating twenty fifth, sixteenth, twentieth,

830
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: and twenty third. Now you can throw in one good

831
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: QBR top ten year I think two years ago, if

832
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 1: you'd like, But that's been the outlier. I get the talent,

833
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: I get what he allegedly represents. I just I'm not

834
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: going to be inspired by it. It has to be

835
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: he has to prove to me that then he can

836
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: allegedly take the infrastructure that we think we have here.

837
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, again, do we really have as

838
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: good an infrastructure as we think we do if we

839
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: don't have a center, if we don't have a running back.

840
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: Now you could say, well we got Jordan Mason or

841
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: bringing him back, but they clearly don't view him as

842
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: a full time running back. We certainly don't have any

843
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: sort of high end running back where you go that

844
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: guy could.

845
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: Change a game at a moment's notice.

846
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: I just we have beyond Justin Jefferson, some questions at receiver,

847
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: I think, depending on what direction we go. So maybe

848
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: that's part of what we have to also start questioning,

849
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: is this notion that any quarterback who want the infrastructure

850
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: here that's in place. We'd like to throw that cliche

851
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: around a lot that we got to get a lot

852
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: better at a number of key, very keyp hissitions, and

853
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: we might do it, maybe via the draft, maybe via

854
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: free agency. There'll be some names to fill a couple

855
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: of those holes. But until they're filled, I think we

856
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: got to be careful about how houghty we are regarding

857
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: how you know necessary the pieces are in place. But

858
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: so I'll ask the audience six four six eighty six,

859
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: bretch on Brian Kafan text line on a zero to

860
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: ten your excitement level if Kyler Murray ends up being

861
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: the veteran guy the Vikings bring in, because for me

862
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: it might be a three and a half.

863
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I could stretch it to a four, but that's it.

864
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 2: I just.

865
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: I've had too many games where I've watched him and said,

866
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: especially given the talent, the the god given ability seems

867
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: to have, I feel like there's less there than should

868
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: be on the basis of what I continually am told

869
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: about this circus play and that circus play and what

870
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: he can do to keep a play alive and all.

871
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: I just want a guy who can just make the

872
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: right play pop pop pop quick. That's the kind of

873
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: quarterback I'm interested in, and I just don't think he

874
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: represents that. And I don't even think, as we talked

875
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: about with Ben Gesling Friday, he's necessarily a good fit

876
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: with the kind of offense that this head coach likes

877
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: to run. Supposedly, the analytics indicate that his weakest in

878
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: terms of his passing acumen is over the middle. Now,

879
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: we allegedly took away mostly all over the middle options

880
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: for JJ McCarthy because we don't think he's very good

881
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: at that either. But Kyler Murray is supposed to be

882
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: a veteran and that allegedly is not what he does

883
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: particularly well does he run even? I mean, because I

884
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: don't know that our guy is going to adjust all

885
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: that much. He kind of wants what he wants. So

886
00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: give me a zero to ten on your level of excitement.

887
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: I grant the point that, again, none of the options

888
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: are going to be like top of the line appealing

889
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: because those quarterbacks just don't exist right or they're not

890
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: available because they're too highly treasured or too highly valued

891
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: to get at.

892
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 2: But I I don't know.

893
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I I keep like again here, well, you know,

894
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: he's been a starter in the league. He's had at times,

895
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: he's had some you know, really good good moments, so

896
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: people should be excited about him. I don't think you're

897
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: obligated to be excited about it at all. Is he

898
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: if you sign him, are you guaranteeing him a starting job?

899
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you should have to. The assumption is

900
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: that the answer is yes, especially if he's got other

901
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: options where that guarantee is going to be on the table,

902
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: either you know, stated or implied. But there's a part

903
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: of me that says, if if your existing team so

904
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: willingly gives you up or gives up on you, and

905
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: I get it money has something to do with this,

906
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: but still gives up on you, I don't. I just

907
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: don't think you should be in a position where you

908
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: can call that shot. We might be desperate enough though,

909
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: that we're willing to do that if that's the guy

910
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: that we think is the only guy that we like,

911
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: that we can get here brat Sean Brian Cafe in

912
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: text Line is open at six four six, eight six.

913
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: We'll get to some hockey and some professional basketball as well,

914
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 1: although based on what we saw yesterday at Target Center,

915
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: we use that term rather loosely.

916
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: Stay tuned.

917
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some texts regarding the Kyler Murray

918
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,479
Speaker 1: level of excitement on zero to ten. If indeed it's

919
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: all but done, which I don't know that it is,

920
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: but it seems to be. There seems to be a

921
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: lot of steam in that direction. Why is it that

922
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: Kayla Williams and Drake Macon win four to six games

923
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: the rookie year, and their teams realize it'll be okay,

924
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: and the Vikings guy wins, Vikings guy wins six or seven,

925
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: and we seem to be giving up on him. Got

926
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: to give McCarthy a chance to show us what a

927
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: second year player, a second year of playing looks like.

928
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: Can I respond to that, Yes, hang on, let me

929
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 2: find it. Did you see the game? Yeah?

930
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: True, But then you can make the argument that the

931
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: Vikings are kidding themselves on how close they are anyway,

932
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: and then you're so you're better off finding out for sure.

933
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: I think part of what's happened behind the scenes is

934
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: I believe that despite all the public words of support

935
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: of hey, it takes time, we got to give this

936
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: kid more time, et cetera, there's worry, there's worry that

937
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: they already know some things that don't measure up to

938
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: a guy who has a chance to become a franchise quarterback.

939
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: And the question is whether they're right about that or

940
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: wrong about that. I'm a five on Kyler Murray, a

941
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: bit higher than a lateral move. I remember when he

942
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: thought he was above attending team meetings and watching film

943
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: slash studying the playbook. Remember that I'd take Cousins back instead.

944
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: Completely agree with you, Dan.

945
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: My rating for Murray is five at best is football

946
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: IQ motivation to give one hundred percent of questionable. He

947
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: does not seem to be the potential mentor type for

948
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: JJ that other veteran quarterbacks potentially could be.

949
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 2: I E. Rogers.

950
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: Well, if you're thinking of Aaron Rodgers as a mentor,

951
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that is what he's at this point,

952
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: especially in his career being much of you could say, Well,

953
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: the mentor part would just be watching him prepare, because

954
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: I do think he's a preparer. He's also a guy

955
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: who wants you know, he's a lone wolf guy. A

956
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: lot of times he didn't care what the play call is.

957
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna call it. He wants to call. But I

958
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: think he does prepare. I don't think in terms of

959
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: putting his arm around you every fifteen minutes to give

960
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: you fatherly advice. I'm not sure he would do much

961
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: of that.

962
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 3: I get the feeling that, and I have no evidence

963
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 3: to back this up, but it is just my feeling.

964
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 3: If you go Kyler, JJ, we're done talking about the

965
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 3: mentorship of JJ.

966
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 2: It's done.

967
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's done unless Kyler is a bust, right if

968
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: he comes in and just stinks or and by the way,

969
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: this isn't much of a reach, gets hurt because he's

970
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: missed a lot of games most recently.

971
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 2: I think he played in five last year. See if

972
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: I have his list of.

973
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Last year, he played five, the year before that, all,

974
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: seventeen year before that, eight year before that, eleven. So

975
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: his last four years he's missed six and what's six

976
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: and seven? Thirteen, Yeah, and eleven, what's thirteen and eleven, No,

977
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: thirteen and twelve.

978
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 2: That's twenty five.

979
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: So he's missed twenty five games the last four years.

980
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: That's that's JJ country. So yeah, that I get what

981
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: you're saying in theory, because it's not a competition. Well,

982
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting, And this was raised in one of

983
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: the stories, if if Murray does the same essentially the

984
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: same thing that Sam Darnold does did when he was here,

985
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: do the Vikings have the cajones to once again, on

986
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: the basis of finances, say, enjoyed our one year with you.

987
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: You help us out, but we got a guy in waiting.

988
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Plus we don't want to spend now the kind of

989
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: money that you're gonna want on the basis of having

990
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: one breakout year. Can the Vikings actually do that twice

991
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: in this regime? I think the answers no. I don't

992
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: think that they could even if they wanted to, because

993
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: I think the elephant in the room.

994
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 2: There is who Justin Jefferson.

995
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna you look Justin Jefferson in the eye again

996
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: and say, hey, look man, we really Kyler had a

997
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: good year. Maybe you win one playoff game with him,

998
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe even go further than Donald. You win one playoff game,

999
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: but then he's you know, down the stretch he's good

1000
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: and then he's not so good whatever. But overall, he's

1001
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,479
Speaker 1: had a good season. He's been your starter, he's taken

1002
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: you to the playoffs. But now there's big money out there,

1003
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: he's going to demand. We don't want to give him

1004
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: that big money because we like him, but we don't

1005
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: love him. Can you do that again the way you

1006
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: did with Donald? I don't think you can look your

1007
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the eye and do that and then

1008
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: go back to JJ and say we're projecting again that

1009
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: McCarthy is now ready in a way that he wasn't

1010
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: ready before. Excited level about a five, but only if

1011
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: there is an open competition for the position. Jeff in Duluth.

1012
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: O'Connor can adjust his offensive scheme a little. Where's can

1013
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: you find one of the laugh tracks like Kessler or

1014
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: somebody else? O'Connell can adjust his offensive scheme a little.

1015
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: When do we see that? When does that happen? You

1016
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: can also do Spanish laugh guy the the soccer broadcaster.

1017
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 2: Murray, who's that.

1018
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Muttley? Muttley Murray throws a knife ball fairly accurate? Can

1019
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: improvise the situations?

1020
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 2: Uh?

1021
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that the improvisation thing is is one

1022
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: of his fortes.

1023
01:02:58,240 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: But the wrap on him is he wants to do

1024
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: too much of that.

1025
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: As he figured that out, maybe he has Maybe you

1026
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: would under this system.

1027
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1028
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with on the excitement level on Kyler

1029
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Murray three or four level of excitement at best. Whoever,

1030
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: no other quarterback goes over a one or two for me,

1031
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: at least with Murray. There'sn outside chance he pans out.

1032
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: My only word with Kyler is his lack of over

1033
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: the middle concepts in recent years. I'm not sure he

1034
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: matches Koc's play style, although Sam from Minneapolis rates it

1035
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: on zero to ten of six his excitement level on

1036
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: him coming, I'm with you, Dan, I'm not overly excited

1037
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: with Murray if he comes. As far as the center

1038
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: position depends on what they plan on doing in the draft.

1039
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: They get a guard slash tackle.

1040
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Like they say the third round, they could have Jurgens

1041
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: at center position. I don't think that's I think if

1042
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Jurgens is starting in the center position, we're in trouble

1043
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: from the start. Daniel Kyler Murray scale is statistically flawed

1044
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: because there's no nega to score range as opposed to

1045
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: running it back with McCarthy. Kyler is a ten for me.

1046
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: A rog would be a nine to one, a guy

1047
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: one out of ten. My only hope is that it

1048
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: pushes JJ to raise his game. Here's a six out

1049
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: of ten. Here's a nine out of ten from three

1050
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: to two, Oh Guy three and a half. Andy from

1051
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: Apple Valley would rather have Derek Carr. Kyler's cost is

1052
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: the only appealing thing. Kyler is a zero for me,

1053
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Como Park. The move might force me to

1054
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: relinquish my fandom wow a seven to six. Three Guy

1055
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: gives it a three. But as always, no NFL fan

1056
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: base gets more excited about backup quarterbacks and Vikings fans.

1057
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue with a three or four excitement level

1058
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: for Kyler, but half of that would be for the

1059
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: disaster possibility. You keep questioning Dan the Kyler Murray signing

1060
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: of it happens. The reality is there aren't many great

1061
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: alternatives the price we'd like to get him at. It

1062
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: probably makes the most sense to bring him in, keep

1063
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: JJ on the show for another year to develop. I'm

1064
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: not thrilled about the option either, but given what's available,

1065
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: he might be the best path forward.

1066
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is the best path forward.

1067
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's close, and I know statistically

1068
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: you could say, was there that been a gap of

1069
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,439
Speaker 1: big a gap in production between Rogers and Murray I'd

1070
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: take a one year flyer on Rogers in a minute

1071
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: over him. I think I would take well, I know,

1072
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: and I'm I don't take it for me, take it

1073
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: from the quarterback whisperer Dan Orlovsky, who I think has

1074
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: been big on that as well. I would continue to

1075
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: explore mac Jones.

1076
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 2: I would.

1077
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: If I'm really going to open the door. I just

1078
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: feel like he's damaged. He's flawed. And that doesn't mean

1079
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, we've had resurrection here before. I understand that,

1080
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: but I just doesn't work for me. A QBR is

1081
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: quarterback rating. That's the newer system created by ESPN, the

1082
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: one the old guys like us.

1083
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 2: Grew up with. It's called passer rating.

1084
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I think I called it quarterback rating old fashioned, but

1085
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: technically the classic rating involving the evaluation of quarterbacks is

1086
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: called the passer rating. QBR is the ESPN system that

1087
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: some people love, some people not so much. Zero to ten,

1088
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: less than zero, there's a point zero one except excitement level.

1089
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Kyler has missed multiple games the last three seasons. Now,

1090
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: JJ and Kyler could start every other game when they

1091
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: are healthy, brilliant concept who's being haughty? The Vikings has

1092
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: are surprised that it took an hour for the proclaimed

1093
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Packer fan and Backstare's Bears fan to discuss the Bradbury

1094
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: trade and spin it to rip the Vikings or organization.

1095
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm full goal for Kyler number one pick talent uh

1096
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: proving it to himself. I'm with it went well with

1097
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,439
Speaker 1: Sam and Baker. I think we could use his talent

1098
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: legs arm. I think he has much more to show.

1099
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Isn't Wentz still on the roster? I don't know if

1100
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: he technically is, but there continue to be persistent rumors

1101
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: that he's headed for a reunion with Frank Reich in

1102
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: New York. I don't know, so I don't know what

1103
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: his contract situation is at this point. Kyler Murray doesn't

1104
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: love football. He's been paid, but he doesn't care. He

1105
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: wants to play baseball. Maybe the Twins could get ahold

1106
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: of him.

1107
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1108
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I have zero idea why people would want Kyler. I'd

1109
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: rather roll the dice on JJ then go Kyler. The

1110
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: quarter Vikings quarterback situation is so desperate that if they

1111
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: brought in Kyler to compete with the current roster, the

1112
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: one armed Carson Wentz would win the job. Dan, You're

1113
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: in Indiana Center, especially behind the draft, isn't he You're wrong, Dan,

1114
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Kyler provides the Vikings with the best chance to be

1115
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: relevant this year and beyond. He's talented and only needs

1116
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: a change of scenery. Okay, well that's the hope, obviously,

1117
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: and that's not unprecedented. And as I said at the

1118
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: beginning of this semi monologue, I I am perfectly willing

1119
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: to once he would get here, open my mind and say, Okay,

1120
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: let's see how it plays out. It's not impossible to

1121
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: see a road that leads to Kyler Murray sort of

1122
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 1: rejuvenating his career. But I'm just being honest going into it,

1123
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't inspire me, it doesn't thrill me. I don't

1124
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: go in with much of an excite level at all.

1125
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: It would be all up to him and the Vikings

1126
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: to make the thing look better than I think it

1127
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: looks at this point, which you just feel like you're

1128
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,919
Speaker 1: getting somebody else's reject, a guy who had was obviously

1129
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: highly picked and highly sought after and highly thought of,

1130
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: but who has just so rarely paid off on that.

1131
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: And again, if you find yourself getting trapped by the

1132
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: talent and by why did you see what? He made

1133
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 1: something out of nothing on that play. That's a great

1134
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: quality for a quarterback to have, but it doesn't lead

1135
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: to sustained success. In fact, if you encourage too much

1136
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: of it, it leads to sustained failure, which, in terms

1137
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: of wins and losses, in terms of ups and downs,

1138
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: is exactly what is to me. His career to this

1139
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: point has represented bottom of the hour. Prey a break.

1140
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Let's get an update on your favorite hockey team, the

1141
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild. We'll have Brett blakemore fhile live report there.

1142
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I'll get into some Wolf stuff as well. State all right,

1143
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: if I've got my handy dandy uh pocket Minnesota Wild

1144
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 1: schedule in front of me, it looks like we are.

1145
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,799
Speaker 1: We've got the rematch with the Lanch right later today,

1146
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: and this is a game that's on everything T N T, HBO, Max,

1147
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: True TV, and also on the fan.

1148
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

1149
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1150
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 2: One PM one Action.

1151
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 1: I like matinee weekend games, whether we're talking about basketball

1152
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: or hockey. What we get out of our most recent

1153
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: victory over the Golden Knights.

1154
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 3: Well, two points most importantly, But you found that the

1155
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 3: guys that you got seem to be fitting in you

1156
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 3: know fairly well. They put Brink on the second line

1157
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 3: immediately with Johansson being out. Loved to see that, and

1158
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 3: I didn't notice anything that gave me any reason to,

1159
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 3: you know, be concerned. And then mccaren he played well

1160
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 3: as at the same time and got a goal in

1161
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 3: an assists which is something that they did not sign

1162
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 3: him to do, going to the front of the net,

1163
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 3: tipping a favor point shot in. So and it's a

1164
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 3: team that in the past has haunted the Wild especially

1165
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 3: that building. I believe that's a season sweep over the

1166
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 3: Vegas Golden Knights, So we love being.

1167
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 2: Able to beat them.

1168
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 3: But also two points goes a long way in this

1169
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 3: race to essentially, yeah, we would love to get the

1170
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: number one seed and catch Colorado, but if we're being realistic, yeah,

1171
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 3: it's probably today would go a long way in doing that,

1172
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 3: but it's to get home ice advantage against the starts.

1173
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: Around one, Dallas finally lost the game, correct, didn't they win?

1174
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Didn't they just have a nine game winning streaks snapped?

1175
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?

1176
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 3: They lost in the shootout the other day to shoot right,

1177
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 3: So that's still.

1178
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 2: Still yeah, that is Yeah, they've been on a very

1179
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: good run. So we're.

1180
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: They got a game in hand on us, so to speak.

1181
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: As we stay in the business, and they're two points

1182
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: ahead of us, is that right? They're at eighty six

1183
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: and we stand at eighty four. We are now nine

1184
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: points behind the lanch So you're right, that dream is

1185
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: I think is pretty much died stars right there. So

1186
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: we'll indeed see how that goes. So all our coverage

1187
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: begins twelve forty five or twelve thirty.

1188
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 2: We know forty five. Just want to make sure twelve

1189
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 2: forty five.

1190
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as I said, is I think as we

1191
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: get later into the season, he should be thirty minute

1192
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: pregame shows.

1193
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 2: So that's just me.

1194
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Falls claims he would if he could, but it's not

1195
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: his decision. I don't know if I don't know if

1196
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: names by that.

1197
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 2: I think that's just an excuse. Yeah, to be very

1198
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: honest about that.

1199
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Six four six eighty six branch On Brian kfan text line.

1200
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you missed this story or not.

1201
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: This could be done as a society material, but.

1202
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 2: I just read it.

1203
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: A lot of people are gobsmacked by this one. Travis

1204
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: and Jason Kelsey's mom, Donna Kelsey is in the middle

1205
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: of a home renovation. TMZ has learned. TMZ is offering

1206
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: this up as a scoop. Wow, and God bless them,

1207
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: apparently they they got to the bottom of it, and

1208
01:13:55,320 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: no one else did. One snarky tweeter noticing rights I

1209
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: am fixing a broken handle on my ice chest and

1210
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: am appalled by the lack of coverage. Now I get it.

1211
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: It's the Kelsey's mom. We understand all of that. But

1212
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: and it's TMZ, you get that too. But what I

1213
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: love is the TMZ has learned, which is you know,

1214
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: a term an expression usually reserved for I got a

1215
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: significant scoop, And even in a TMZ sense, they get scoops.

1216
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes scoops about tragedy, right there, reasons for death, whatever the.

1217
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 2: Case may be that they would stoop to.

1218
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: TMZ has learned on being in the middle of a

1219
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,520
Speaker 1: home innovation.

1220
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 2: The mother of.

1221
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: Two NFL players is definitely I would say done as

1222
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: a society material.

1223
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:52,600
Speaker 2: Wolves.

1224
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,799
Speaker 1: Speaking of mattine affairs, they had a matinee game yesterday

1225
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: against Orlando got killed. Was not particularly close. I think

1226
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: that's app I want to say it was a five

1227
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: game winning streak and It's unfortunate because it was a

1228
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,799
Speaker 1: chance to go three for three on the homestand before

1229
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: they head now they're heading back out onto the road,

1230
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: but they were never in the game. I'm not gonna

1231
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: lose my mind over it. I'm not gonna, you know,

1232
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: play that game because that can be overwrought. They have

1233
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: over the course of the last twenty games, their records

1234
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: quite good, so it missed opportunity. I guess one could

1235
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: say that's that's for sure, but I had to be

1236
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: disappointment to fans who were there yesterday. I'm very curious too,

1237
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and it's probably late in the show to get into this.

1238
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: We'll probably talk about it during the week. There's has

1239
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: this become a thing? I can't tell whether it is

1240
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: a thing or is not a thing. Let me find

1241
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: the story. Well that that sort of sums it up

1242
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: as I try to properly introduce this particular issue, and

1243
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: this is, you know what I should have done. I

1244
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: should have just gone to we go to startimbutne dot

1245
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 1: Com via the computer because it gives me more options

1246
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: right away.

1247
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 2: And it involves.

1248
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:23,520
Speaker 1: One of the co owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Alex Rodriguez.

1249
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I think as many of you are familiar with him,

1250
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: former baseball player and a controversial baseball player, you could

1251
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: say for pretty much for sure. And by the way,

1252
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: one nineteen to ninety two, my issue with losing to

1253
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: the Magic was not the loss, but it really I mean, sorry,

1254
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: I know what happens in the league a lot. Now,

1255
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be losing by twenty seven points at home

1256
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: at this point in the season.

1257
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:54,799
Speaker 2: Sorry.

1258
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 1: So the start to mute story headline is Timberwolves co

1259
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: owner Alex Rodriguez has quote big fan President Trump. Rodriguez,

1260
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: the former baseball star, visit of the White House on

1261
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: Thursday for an event honoring Lionel Messi and MSL MLS

1262
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:18,480
Speaker 1: champion enter Miami. Chris Hein wrote the story, mentions that

1263
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: that a rod this was Mark Thursday, March five, and

1264
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: that he posted for a photo with the President, who

1265
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: referred to himself as a big fan of rodriguez meeting.

1266
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: The meeting came less than two months after the Wolves

1267
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: held moments of silence in the days after the killings

1268
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: of Renee Good and Alex Predi in Minneapolis. As officials

1269
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: and the Trump administration defended the actions actions of federal

1270
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: agents involved in the shootings. Wolves also postponed a home

1271
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: game against the Warriors on the day of Pretti's death.

1272
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: During the moments of Silence, Wolves fans could be heard

1273
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: shouting profanity while asking US Immigration Customs enforcement officers to

1274
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: leave the Twin Cities during Operation Metro Surge. Trump's friendly

1275
01:17:56,280 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: overtures toward Rodriguez mark a reversal from comments he made

1276
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: about him earlier before he became president. Going back to

1277
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Trump preferred a rod as the biggest sports

1278
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: embarrassment of all time. So I didn't even bother to

1279
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 1: look at the comments section.

1280
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 2: Is this a thing for people?

1281
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Is this something that there are a couple of people

1282
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: in the comments I did read too indicated if they

1283
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: are going, They're done. They will no longer entertain buying

1284
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: tickets to go to see the Wolves play, which is

1285
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: always your choice. You can make that decision for any

1286
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 1: reason at any time, including this. But I'm curious if

1287
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: this resonates with people. Is it again the classic guilt

1288
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: by association.

1289
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:54,799
Speaker 2: You are sanctioning this administration. You are.

1290
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: Giving them credibility if you show up in an event

1291
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: that had nothing to do with your position as a

1292
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: cone owner, owner of the of the team, and the

1293
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: comments seem to indicate, again, as unscientific as they are,

1294
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: that's sort of fifty to fifty brat Shawn Brian Cafe

1295
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: in text Line is open at six four six A six.

1296
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 2: What we hear a lot is well, he can.

1297
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Do it, but then there may be, you know, consequences

1298
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: to actions like that. I get to then evaluate on

1299
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,520
Speaker 1: that basis, and I get to then draw a conclusion

1300
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: about that individual, which is true. I would also say

1301
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: that if the person who goes is prepared and is

1302
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: if he's bothered to calculate this out at all, and

1303
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that he has, as I haven't talked

1304
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: to a Rod about it, haven't heard if he's said

1305
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: anything about it, then that's up to them. That's that's

1306
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 1: if they feel like whatever blowback there might be, they're

1307
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: willing to accept it. I'm not sure what it leads

1308
01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: to exactly. Will there be individuals protesting near ticket offices

1309
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: at Target Center? Is it just something? Okay, I got

1310
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: that knowledge. I don't know what we do with it,

1311
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: but I did think I did think it was an

1312
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: interesting way to sort of set up the story, and

1313
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: it clearly I think was intended to say, well, here's

1314
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: the guy who runs your basketball team, who owns your

1315
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: basketball team, who's shown up.

1316
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 2: At the White House. So is it pitchforks? Is it okay?

1317
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 2: You know? All right? Good to know. I'll take that

1318
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:39,879
Speaker 2: out of advisement.

1319
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Or maybe people knew it and then just moved on

1320
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: with the rest of their lives.

1321
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 2: I don't know. We're always in that mode of.

1322
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,600
Speaker 1: I've hardly been I think, classified as a Trump sympathizer

1323
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: the last several years.

1324
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 2: Lord knows.

1325
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I get that confirmation via text. But I'm not exactly

1326
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: sure how we decide to evaluate what this particular decision means,

1327
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: what the larger implications are supposed to be, and sort

1328
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: of where we draw the line on how far we

1329
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: go in this evaluation process, what it accomplishes, what it

1330
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: leaves us with. But it probably all depends on Maybe

1331
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: it does all depend on where are politically.

1332
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

1333
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Six four six eighty six is the bratch On Bryant

1334
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: k f A N text line. Now I got to

1335
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: reboot the system again. Now I got to get the

1336
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: verification code. What's the wild schedule the rest of this

1337
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,839
Speaker 1: week beyond? Why don't we back.

1338
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: Home beyond the lance, you get the Mammoth on Tuesday.

1339
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 3: Where is that? That will be here at home Grand

1340
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 3: Casina Arena. That that's that's the rematch. Right Like you said,

1341
01:21:58,960 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 3: we owe them, do we not?

1342
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 2: We owe them a lot.

1343
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 3: They seem to ever since they moved from Arizona, they've

1344
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 3: had our number. Then you get the Bobby Brink revenge

1345
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 3: game on Thursday, the Flyers come to town and then

1346
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 3: the Rangers who could have had trocheck could have been

1347
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 3: a revenge game for him. Not so fast, my friend.

1348
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 3: That's March fourteenth, that's Saturday. So Mammoth, Flyers, Rangers all

1349
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 3: at home, all at GCA where I'm sure he can.

1350
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 3: Tickets are readily available to go. I'll here right here

1351
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 3: on the fan. Absolutely. I think the Wolves now hit

1352
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 3: the road if I'm not mistaken. And that's why it

1353
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 3: would have been nice to, you know, get one.

1354
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: More victory at home, because I think the schedule starts

1355
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: getting a little bit a little bit tougher.

1356
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: One should say, a.

1357
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: Couple of techts coming in failure in pr if a

1358
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Rod thinks he's going to ask us for money to

1359
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: build a new arena.

1360
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 2: As Scott in Duluth.

1361
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: So he apparently thinks that a visit to the White

1362
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: House for an event that has nothing to do with

1363
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 1: anything other than saluting soccer is enough reason in of

1364
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: itself to reject money that we otherwise.

1365
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 2: Would have given him given him.

1366
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's it's certainly entitled to that viewpoint. That's

1367
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: connecting a lot of dots. M First, a ride, isn't

1368
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: too bright to do such a thing. But for those

1369
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: that have a problem, don't go and just be quiet. Well,

1370
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to be quiet. I'm not asking you

1371
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: to be quiet. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

1372
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: I don't sense this is a story that's going to

1373
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: overwhelm the sports landscape.

1374
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1375
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I sure hear a lot of rities boycotting the Twins

1376
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: because the Paulds are known to be lefties.

1377
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 2: Grow up? Is that true? Do we have a lot

1378
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: of righties?

1379
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: Are we sure that they're not boycotting the Twins because

1380
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: they're a mess and because they keep cutting payroll and

1381
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: extra thirty million dollars after every off season.

1382
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know crappy baseball as a partisan. I should either.

1383
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm guessing there are probably some people who who who

1384
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: feel that way. But that's the irony of this thing,

1385
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: is the pole ads. If they're viewed as being known

1386
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: as being lefties or whether you're known as being a righty,

1387
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter, I don't think. I just don't think

1388
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: an adult sense it. It really should in terms of

1389
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 1: connecting those dots the dirty little secret. I don't know

1390
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: how many lefties realize this. The vast majority I'm guessing

1391
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: of billionaire owners are righties.

1392
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to ruin it.

1393
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to ruin the Santa Claus

1394
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,719
Speaker 1: thing for them anything like that. But that's so that

1395
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: that that's been I think true for for quite some time.

1396
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: And you either accept it or I guess you don't,

1397
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: And maybe some people don't.

1398
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 2: I probably a good amount of athletes themselves.

1399
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, well yeah, that's a maybe more of a mix. Yeah,

1400
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 1: that's true. That's true, depending on the individuals on the

1401
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: sport that are involved. Pete people are mad at a

1402
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Roger for a picture. Ridiculous. Make the Wolves great again? Oh,

1403
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: I think we had one of our prints game Saturday.

1404
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had the special Court. We had what do

1405
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: we call it?

1406
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, City edition.

1407
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I'm more of a classics guy myself.

1408
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: Those black and greens are so nice.

1409
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree with you on that, that's

1410
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 1: very true. A couple more quarterback items coming on, probably

1411
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 1: the minority. I believe that we have to go bigger,

1412
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: go home, get rogers, have a fun year to watch,

1413
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: maybe win or save your dollars play JJ and start

1414
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: adding young players have improved.

1415
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 4: Great.

1416
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, you have money in the future for options.

1417
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the first day when people were

1418
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: telling me it's going to be either Geno Smith or

1419
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, my gut reaction when I didn't have have

1420
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: a chance to think and that could be dangerous or

1421
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's better, maybe it's more unfiltered and you're not

1422
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: being influenced by what other people tell you you're supposed

1423
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: to think. Was if those are the options available to you,

1424
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: that are the two realistic ones. If you're down to that,

1425
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: I would be very tempted to just hand the ball

1426
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: back to McCarthy and just suffer through it. And the

1427
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: only hesitation on that is again the other JJ. Justin Jefferson,

1428
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,520
Speaker 1: what you're doing to him and whether you're actually increasing

1429
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: the likelihood that he finally says, you got to get

1430
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: me out of here. I just I cannot waste another

1431
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: year of my prime. But there is a part of

1432
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 1: me that is I just don't think those things are

1433
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 1: going to lead to anything substantial this year.

1434
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't.

1435
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: And then you're saying, well, if that's the case, then

1436
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:55,480
Speaker 1: find out for sure.

1437
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 2: On this kid. Even if you're.

1438
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Now left confident privately than you were when you're drafted them,

1439
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, have a really good off season with him

1440
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: where he works on allegedly all these fundamentals. Hopefully he

1441
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: can clear his head a little bit, hopefully stay healthy,

1442
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: and just throw him out there, because I'm not sure

1443
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: where you're going until you fill a lot of other

1444
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: positions too. So no a worst case scenario tonight. No,

1445
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,839
Speaker 1: But in this a while hockey coming up, you said twelve,

1446
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: We think twelve.

1447
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 3: Four forty five into a one o'clock puck drop in

1448
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 3: Denver against the lane.

1449
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 1: They're going to be the gun for us after what

1450
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: happened last time, right, They don't really, I don't think

1451
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: they care about any one game. They got bigger fish

1452
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: to fry, so do we though the beauty of it?

1453
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching today, thank you for listening today,

1454
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: and we will talk to you on a bumper to

1455
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 1: bumper tomorrow.

1456
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 2: Is Guards you back or you with me on Monday?

1457
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,759
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's Guardsy to my knowledge.

1458
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk to at three pm.
