1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: He sustained the initial injury to his left shoulder against 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: the Browns. 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 2: It was really a matter of you. 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: Know, getting the medical uh you know interpretations where you know, 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: once Carson was told, You're you're gonna have to get 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: this fixed, but you really. 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 2: Can't make it worse. 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: I believe, I believe his his his phrase to me was, 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: I I want to take advantage of this opportunity. I 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: get to play, I get to play with this coaching 11 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: staff and these players for the Minnesota Vikings. I want 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: to exhaust this every possible way, uh that I can. 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: And and I know JJ will be back at some 14 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: point here as he gets healthy. But this is a 15 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: genuine opportunity where I can help this team win. And 16 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: the way he you know, consistently demonstrated such physical toughness 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: to go along with mental toughness, knowing uh that ultimately 18 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get this fixed. And and you 19 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: know a lot of guys play with uh torn Labrahams 20 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: throughout the season. A lot of guys wear that harness, 21 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: but not everybody's a quarterback. And and although it was 22 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: not his throwing shoulder, you're still gonna take kids and 23 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: have to kind of weather the storm. 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: I just shake my head in wonderment. That's the head 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: coach today, right Koc Barry from Blaine. I'm a doctor, 26 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: have done team medicine here, horrific. Some kind of additional 27 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 2: indictment on the judgment of the regime that they asked 28 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: a competitor whether he's whether you want to go back in? 29 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: Did not assess the totality the situation till the quarterback 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: you're done and put in the healthy backup to run 31 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: a limited offense. Assume and short passing. Here's the cheap shot, 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: assuming there are short rhythm passing pages in the playbook, 33 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: that's well played. From Barry and doctor I work an 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: orthopedics rights ortho guy. I knew when I saw Wentz's 35 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: brace the first series that the game was over. That brace, 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: in essence, kept his arm attached to his shoulder. Without it, 37 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: it would have flopped around like a rag doll. With 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: the very first exact. This whole thing is bizarre to me. 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: But maybe we're missing the force for the trees who 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: because the defense looks troubled, the defense looks perhaps exposed, 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: and among you ball guys, it seems that the debate 42 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 2: that's breaking out now is whether whatever creativity that bflow represents, 43 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: whatever series of wrinkles that his defense represents, that the 44 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: rest of the league is figuring out, at least if 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: good quarterbacks, that that's what's happening and that we're going 46 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: to have to readjust or he is, or that it's 47 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: more about the personnel, that he has miscalculations about some 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: of the moves that this team made and they're just 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: not good enough to execute whatever he is happening to 50 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: be whatever he has called in a given game. Where 51 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: are you on how you would evaluate the defense, which 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: now I think in terms of points allowed is down 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: to like twenty second or twenty third in the league. 54 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and just two weeks ago we were 55 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: talking about how we basically we thought that the Vikings 56 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: formula for winning was having their defense go from being 57 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: pretty good I guess, to like being lights out and 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: supporting an offense that was going through a quarterback transition. 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: And the past two weeks they've been one of the 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: most seed like defenses in the NFL. Like literally, I 61 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: think they're they're averaging over thirty points you know, allowed 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: per game, and so that puts them in the bottom 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: five or so in the league over those two weeks, 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: and so you know, you depending who you talk to, 65 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: you here so many different explanations. One thing that I 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: think makes some sense is that you know they're there. 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: It's always predicated on this scheme is always predicated on 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: creating confusion at the line of scrimmage and allowing, you know, 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: even if you're not blitzing, allowing people to get through 70 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: because of that confusion, or forcing the quarterback to look 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: somewhere where he shouldn't really be looking, but he thought 72 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: he was supposed to, and that can work. It's certainly 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: you have a better chance of that working with some 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: of the young quarterbacks like a Caleb Williams or Dylan 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: Gabriel from the Browns or Jake Browning from the Bengals, 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: when they have played good quarterbacks they've gotten just especially 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: these past two weeks. I mean Jalen Hurts and and 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: and Justin Herbert have had two of the top eight 79 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: games by a quarterback all season, and so. 80 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: And Golf twice last year, QB twice last year, Stafford 81 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 2: yep and so. Uh. 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: That's that's certainly a concern. You know, there's from a 83 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: schematic standpoint one thing that's interesting to me is you 84 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: see a lot of teams the Steelers, I think we're 85 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: one of the first teams to do it where they're 86 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: really and this has become a little bit more popular 87 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: in the NFL this year anyway for some reason. But 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: they're going extra big against the Vikings defense, like you'll 89 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: see unbalanced lines and extra offensive lineman or two tight 90 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: ends and two fullbacks or two you know, to an 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 3: offensive lineman as a fullback and the I wouldn't say 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: that the Vikings defensive front is huge, and there's no 93 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: like three hundred and thirty pound like vi Via type guys, 94 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: and so I think that they are probably being a 95 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: little overpowered there in the running game and the passing game. 96 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: The pass rush has not created the confusion in the 97 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: past two weeks that they wanted to, and there was 98 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 3: always going to be in those situations guys running open. 99 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: I don't think they've ever prioritized or I shouldn't say 100 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: ever prioritized, but I don't think we've ever thought that. 101 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: One of the strengths is like the downfield coverage per se, 102 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: there's gonna be holes in the middle, and there's going 103 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: to be some matchups that you can get with guys 104 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: who are maybe aren't great like man to man defenders, 105 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 3: is the way they've operated here in the past few years. 106 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: So that's kind of a nutshell of what we've seen. 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: And it doesn't you know, and it's incumbent on them 108 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 3: to find schemes that are It's not like they have 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: bad players. There's plenty of good players on the defense. 110 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: And we know Andrew van Kingkle has been hurt and 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: I don't know that he's coming back this week. 112 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: But there's a coach doesn't make it like his imminence, 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: no it. 114 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 3: It certainly didn't on Friday, which the day after the 115 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: game when he was asked about that. I'm not sure 116 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: if he's talked about it since then. But there's certainly 117 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: enough good players in the defense, and just there just 118 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 3: needs to be a better match of what these guys 119 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: are good at and what they you know, and what 120 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 3: they're being asked to do. And and then you have 121 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: to also remember that some of these better quarterbacks are 122 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: definitely like seeming to find the right spots, you know, 123 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 3: whether it's Hurts, whether it's Herbert and whether it's Jared Goff, 124 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: And so that that's a big challenge for this week, 125 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: but they don't haven't really given themselves a chance in 126 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: the in those scenarios. 127 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: Do you did you get any sense this is like 128 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: way down the list of the angles, I believe, and 129 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was played big at all 130 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: out there, but did you get much of a sense 131 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: that it mattered very much to Harbaugh to flatten the 132 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: Vikings if he could, and to do it, you could say, 133 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: in a very physical fashion, as the Chargers finally did, 134 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: and they because they've not been able to play that well. 135 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: You think Harbaugh is wired in such a way that 136 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: he doesn't you know, he's still thinking about even if 137 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 2: he doesn't declare it in his quotes after a game, 138 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: if there's a part of Harbaugh says, yeah, I love 139 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: sticking it to those guys who basically, you know, let 140 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: me leave the place without hiring me. Yeah, and there. 141 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: I mean, it's an interesting because I didn't really think 142 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: about that angle heading in the sort of The general 143 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: consensus has been that the Vikings made out just fine 144 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: in terms of letting Harball leave and hiring Kevin O'Connell instead. 145 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: The Charger has been good with Harbaugh, no doubt, and 146 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: they definitely were the better team the other night. You know, 147 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if I don't think anyone asked 148 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: Harbaugh about it, But I wouldn't be surprised if part 149 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: of him just being the kind of crazy competitor that 150 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: he is, got a little bit of extra pleasure out 151 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: of it, even if it's just sticking to the people 152 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: in the front office, because there's really nobody on the 153 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: field that had any imp packed on him not getting 154 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 3: that job, and so, uh, it's possible. But and it'll 155 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: and it'll be fun to look at, you know, ten 156 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: years from now and see like where, you know, did 157 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: they you know, how did the O'Connell era turn out, 158 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: you know, or if it was, maybe it's still going 159 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: at that point, I don't know, But what or how 160 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: did the harbad did he do another like super nova 161 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: situation where he comes in and turns it around quick 162 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: but then it blows up pretty fast as well? 163 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they well they had you know, they didn't do 164 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: well at all in the postseason postseason, but they did 165 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: make the postseason. And obviously Harbaugh has already got a 166 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: pretty good name established, notwithstanding the cheating that guards he 167 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: still despises of college level. Pretty good pro coach. In 168 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: a previous spot, I think one Super Bowl, he got 169 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: to the he got to the NFC title game. I 170 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: think his first year, did he not? Yeah? 171 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 3: And he was good at Stamfor I mean he's he's 172 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: one everywhere. Question, he was one everywhere? 173 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: What was the wasn't he If somebody had asked Harbor 174 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: about that after the game? Would he have gone with 175 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: that's a jive? Was a jive turkey question by gob 176 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: gobble gobble gobble gobble turkey turkey? Yeah. I think he 177 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: was mad about a question being asked, wasn't it? Yes? 178 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: Kind of yeah. I don't know if he was mad, 179 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: but he was giving it back to the guy, giving 180 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 2: it back to the I wonder ifeed, yeah, because I 181 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 2: don't think it was asked after the Michigan this was 182 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: I think it was in college. I don't think. I 183 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: think it was college in pre Michigan. Yeah, I don't remember. 184 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: I don't. In Michigan, he said that he advised quarterbacks 185 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: not to eat chicken because they're an angry bird. I 186 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: forgot about that. You don't want to be putting that 187 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: kind in your body. I think he may have evolved 188 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: his position on that a little bit. I think he 189 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: might eat chicken now, but he was more of a 190 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: red meat gotta get your protein A very important somehow, 191 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 2: some way.

Do 206 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: we seed the division to the packers yet? Do we 207 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: still have to factor in the Lions. Well, how do 208 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: you view the NFC North right now? 209 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: I mean, there still the most difficult division in the NFL. 210 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: We just were in the break we were watching the ESPN. 211 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 3: Dan Orlowski had the Lions is the number one team 212 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: in the entire league. Uh, And so I don't know 213 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: that we're seeding it to the Packers yet. I know 214 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 3: the Packers did beat them in the first, I think, 215 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 3: the first game of the year. But right I look 216 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: forward to that rematch and I think those they're probably 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: two of the top, you know, maybe the two top 218 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: teams in the NFC h for sure, and maybe the 219 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: two top teams in the league. 220 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: You know, both happen to be in the NFC North. 221 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: How do Okay, we now know the dis cast McCarthy 222 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: is is going to be the guy the rest of 223 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: the season. So what's the best approach you think that McCarthy, 224 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: I should say O'Connell is going to try to take 225 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 2: to just get him off the ground again, given how 226 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 2: bad the much of the first two weeks went and 227 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: how long he's you know, been out and the few 228 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 2: reps he has. What's the quarterback whisperers, what do you 229 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: think his approach is going to be moving forward building. 230 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it'll start, you know, it should 231 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: probably you probably got to start back from scratch where 232 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: you started in week one in terms of you know 233 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 3: a lot and you want to say a lot of 234 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: the short timing things, but those can prove to be 235 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: more difficult if you're hesitant at all or you're uncomfortable 236 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 3: at all and you don't pull the trigger on those 237 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: quick timing passes, they turn out to you know, I 238 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: think what O'Connell referred to it as, it's just it's 239 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 3: a drop back pass with worse pass protection. And so 240 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: as much as you say, like let's just do let's 241 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: just run the ball out and throw these one two 242 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 3: three step throw like those are not. 243 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: As easily executable as they sound like. 244 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 3: So I you know, I think he'll he'll try, they'll 245 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 3: they'll they'll do what they can to keep him out 246 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: of third and longs. You know, whether that whatever the 247 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: play calling and scheme is, I think that will be 248 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: the top priority, is to keep him out of third 249 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: and longs where he has to to do something that's 250 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: that's you know, the probably the hardest thing a quarterback 251 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: does over the course of a of a game is 252 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 3: convert big chunk plays when the defense knows you need 253 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: a big chunk play, and so try to avoid that 254 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: at all costs, whether that means you know, quarterback runs, 255 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: you know, I think that, you know, part of the 256 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: point of keeping him out this long was so that 257 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,239 Speaker 3: when he does come back, he can have that mobility 258 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: and use that to his advantage. And so we did 259 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: see the one read option where he scored a touchdown 260 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: against the Bears, and so I would think of those 261 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 3: plays as at least being you know, in play and 262 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,239 Speaker 3: doing what he can to keep him in manageable situations. 263 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: And then when it's you know, a tough situation, not 264 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 3: being afraid to like tell him, like, you know, let's 265 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: let it rip, let's see what happens. And so you 266 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: don't want to, like, yeah, ignore the fact that you're 267 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 3: still trying to win the game. But there needs to 268 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: be some building going on. You know, you started one spot, 269 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 3: but even if it's in the course of a game, 270 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: you know, start asking him to do things that are 271 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 3: a little bit more difficult as well. 272 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: Are we trading the tight end before the deadline? 273 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: Uh? 274 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 2: TJ. Hockenson. 275 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: I guess you you the fact that Josh All is hurt, 276 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: and maybe they just and I know they just claim 277 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: to signed a tight end nynt he left, so they 278 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: just signed he's underted. Look how good he's doing or 279 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: how good Jacksonville is doing. And so they they they 280 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 3: signed Ben Simms, who they had in their in their 281 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: camp two years ago and had been claimed by the 282 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: Packers and they had Packers had him for two years 283 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: and now he's back. But and I'm not saying that 284 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: they would they would turn down a really good trade 285 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: for t J. Hockinson if just because Josh Oliver got hurt. 286 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: But I guess we'll see on that. I think they 287 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: still see Hockinson as a very quarterback friendly player who 288 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: can really be an outlet for someone like JJ McCarthy, 289 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: who is developing in real. 290 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: Time texture from the seven sixty three area code. I 291 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: saw where Alec Lewis said he believes there's a lot 292 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: of tension in the Vikings locker room. What does Seaffert 293 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: think he said in the locker room? Is that? Yeah, 294 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if the texture is 295 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: properly representing what Alex okay, I don't know what Alex 296 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: said and and but I've talked about with you that 297 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: the whole building is tense, you know, and it's you know, 298 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: and I guess that can include the locker room as well. 299 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: What they're trying to do, you know, the needle they're 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: trying to thread is one of the most difficult team 301 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: building things to do at the same time, which is 302 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: win and develop a quarterback in real time. It doesn't 303 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: usually happen that way. They've tried to do it by 304 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 3: signing a bunch of free agents. Uh, some of those 305 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: free agents are working out, some of them aren't. They 306 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: have one of the most expensive rosters in the game, 307 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: and the quarterback that they're trying to develop hasn't really 308 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: been able to stay on the field, and so there's 309 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 3: just a lot of tension. There's a lot of, frankly, 310 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: people in the building whose career epitaphs will include the 311 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 3: outcome of how JJ McCarthy's career turns out. It won't 312 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: necessarily be the first thing that's on there, but it's 313 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: part of it. Like it's one of the biggest projects 314 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: that any of these people will try to to try 315 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: to accomplish. And so there is absolutely from the top, 316 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: from the top down, and it includes that the adversity 317 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 3: of taking the trip to Europe, which turned out to 318 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: be a lot more onerous than maybe they thought it 319 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: was going to be or hoped it wouldn't be. And 320 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: you know, all the injuries they have encountered. Injuries are 321 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: part of the game, but they've had a lot of 322 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: injuries to some really key people that's made it extra difficult. 323 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: And and just the record, and so whether it's I 324 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: don't think that the tension is confined to the locker room. 325 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: I think the whole building seems tense to That's fair. 326 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: And I understand why. 327 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: Man more spam. I'm getting a lot of spam these 328 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: I have no idea. This is probably a dangerous one 329 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: to open up this late in this segment, but I'll 330 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: go ahead and do it. And Guards you again, this 331 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: might be another uh, you know burner account from Guards. 332 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: He's got several uh But the texture here basically says, look, 333 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: I think Brosmer is currently more ready to start an 334 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: NFL game than McCarthy. The kid was rehabilitating all last year, 335 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: had a very nice team around him in Michigan with 336 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: four and five star players. Brosemer looked great with less 337 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: surrounding talent. Altho didn't beat Iowa, as I recalled, didn't 338 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 2: we lose Iowa last year? We did? I don't remember 339 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: how he played his one year at the U, and 340 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 2: he got himself on the Viking squad much more impressively 341 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: than McCarthy. That's solid Blaine, he's clamoring. 342 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 3: Well, the conspiracy theories is that's why the real reason 343 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: why they didn't put him on the field. They didn't 344 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: want once you put Brozman on the field, you're not 345 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: gonna be like get him off the field. And so, uh, 346 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: you know, he was impressive, uh, you know, And and 347 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: I think O'Connell has actually used I mean, if you 348 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 3: were to put all the words that he said about 349 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: Brosmer and all the words he'd said said about JJ 350 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: McCarthy and then you've switched the the names, that you 351 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: might not be able to tell the difference. I mean, 352 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 3: he really likes him, but there's no doubt who the 353 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: priority is. And I don't think that that's the reason 354 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: why he didn't put him on the field. But it 355 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: speaks to the fact that given his lineage as an 356 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: undrafted rookie that you know played, you know, made one 357 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 3: final year at the Big Ten in his college career. 358 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: He was pretty impressive this summer. 359 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: As a former ball guy. Yeah, baseball guy, did you 360 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 2: appreciate what took place World Series Game number three last night? 361 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: I mean, like part of me was just thinking, like 362 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm not covering this game, you know, because 363 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 3: it goes you know, not only is it late and 364 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: so like there's deadlines and all those kinds of things, 365 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 3: but like so many things happened that you would want 366 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 3: to include in your story and then they eventually become 367 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: irrelevant because no score, like it didn't determine the winner. 368 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: They just kept going. 369 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 3: And so like trying to synthesize all the things that 370 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 3: happened in that game into one story. 371 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: And but like I put. 372 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: This on Twitter, like the baseball you know, generates great 373 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: writing more than any all the other sports great points. 374 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 3: And I don't know why other than it's just you know, 375 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: the majesty of the game or whatever. But like, there 376 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: was so many things you could write about. Jeff Passing, 377 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: our national guy focused on the fact that Sandy Kofax 378 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 3: came into the clubhouse at one am Pacific time last night, 379 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: age eighty nine and shook the hand looks and he 380 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: looks terrific. Oh yeah, he's living in southern California. And 381 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 3: he shook the hand. It was a climb the pitcher. Yeah, 382 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: climber was the hero. And so he pushed the four 383 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 3: innings and he had never pitched anything. It was like 384 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 3: a heroic thing. And he just walked up to him 385 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: and said, like, good job, sir, something like that, and 386 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: like and and like that's just another you know, like 387 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 3: and that's what Passing built his whole thing off of. 388 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: But so I just I love the way it's spurs 389 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: great writing. I love the dramatics that creates such awesome storylines. Uh, 390 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 3: and I just would have been I know, I would 391 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 3: have walked out of there thinking, like, more stuff happened 392 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: that I didn't include than I didn't go. 393 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: Well. 394 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: Another another element that, again you could have built the 395 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: whole thing around. Kershaw comes into twelfth inning to say that, yeah, 396 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: he gets one guy out and and you know he's 397 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 2: about to retire. He's been a disaster through much of 398 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: his career. In the postseason and it's another moment. Then 399 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: you could build an entire column around just that. Given 400 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: how you know important Kershaw has been there's a great 401 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: shot during the game of his the reaction from his wife, 402 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: from the family. It was a terrific part of the story. 403 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: There were so many of those elements. 404 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and like and you'll and it's just that they 405 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: it creates so many moments where like everyone will remember 406 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: where they were when, Yes, if they stayed up that 407 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: late and uh and and and watched the conclusion. 408 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: Will kleinb went I think four. Yeah, he had he 409 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: had a career as a rookie reliever. Yeah, a career 410 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 2: are of over five, had never pitched more than two 411 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: in any Major league baseball. 412 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: Through like seventy six pitches, and I think I saw 413 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 3: where he had never thrown, Like all of his outings 414 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 3: were less than thirty Yeah, and so like it. And 415 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: it's just that's what's one of the many things that's 416 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 3: so awesome about playoff baseball is like how many often 417 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: times you see things that you never would have, like 418 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: even considered a possibility in a regular season game. But 419 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 3: it's the playoffs and it's just different. 420 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 2: And this we've never seen. There is no precedent for it. 421 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 2: I guess since Babe ruth Otani reaches base nine times, 422 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: how many where those were intentional, well, four intentional, one 423 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: semi intentional, after four extra base hits in his first 424 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: four at bats. And he's the starting pitcher tonight. Yeah, yeah, 425 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 2: and unbelievable. 426 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 427 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: And he there was a video of him in the 428 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: clubhouse and he's like when they the manager is talking 429 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 3: to the players right after the game, and he's like 430 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 3: warming almost like warming up as a pitcher. He's like 431 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 3: already moved on to the next thing, right, and like 432 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: just a legendary, like he's on his own. Has produced 433 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: so many unprecedented. 434 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: Moment Well, we've had, you know, the anniversaries of it 435 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: happens every year. This time you're obviously the eighty seven twins, 436 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: but even probably winning Game seven and more importantly ninety 437 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: one with Jack Morris, the ten innings and so forth. 438 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: And that's another game you could almost write a book, Yeah, 439 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: on the entire you know, just just on that single game, 440 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: forget you know, anything else. Yeah. 441 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 3: And I was Atlanta Braves fan growing up, and so 442 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: I remember where I was when kent Herbeck, Oh that 443 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: pushed Ron Gant off first base. 444 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: When no, when he pushed him or pulled him or 445 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: or he's like sga, he just doesn't have great balance. 446 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he he just unfortunately falls in And I 447 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 3: remember like the the like I view the Kirby Puckett 448 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 3: home run as the Charlie lee Brandt pitches.

It's funny how you remember these 452 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: things from different perspectives. 453 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: But there's many. 454 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: You know, the Cid bream, you know, because that I 455 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 3: can still hear Skip Carry, who was the longtime Braves 456 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 3: announcer who you know, who had called so many terrible 457 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: one hundred loss seasons and then suddenly they're they're winning 458 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: the pennant.

I 492 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: don't recall them offering that same headline after vikings charagures 493 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: I said, well, was it which which was? Which had 494 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: more to do with it? It seemed, I think a 495 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: little bit clear. I watched very little of that game 496 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: because I wanted to watch some Wolves, and then I 497 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 2: did get into the World Series madness as well as 498 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: it went on.

It's this last two home games tonight. Of 503 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: course he's starting. I don't know how long he's expected 504 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: to go. But again, there's analytics for everything in the 505 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: street of baseball. Has any player in the postseason ever 506 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: had back to back home games that can match seven 507 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: for seven officially as a hitter, five home runs, six 508 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: walks ten strikeouts in six innings, pitched absurdity. Pretty good, 509 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 2: as Joe Maher would say, it's pretty good, no question 510 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 2: about that. Bratchean Brian Kafe in text line is open 511 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: and that number, of course is six for six eight 512 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: six on air production meeting. Yeah, can you see into 513 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: the score? Is Kevin in the score right now? Can 514 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: you see? I don't think anybody's in there new intern Kevin. No, 515 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 2: and he's pretty tall, so I think i'd see him. 516 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: I know, because Luigi's here, so I'm trying to see 517 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: if somebody call role. I see No, I don't see 518 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: him in the room. Unfortunately. Also Luigi he gets I 519 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: don't know if you know this or not. He can 520 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 2: be impatient. Louis can be a little on the impatient side. 521 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: Were you aware of that. I've learned some things about 522 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: Louis over the years. That might be one of them. 523 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: Let me get to a couple of texts. Guard. You 524 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: just expressed his love for the Detroit Airport. I hope 525 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: MSP is not listening. That's true. You did like I did. 526 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: Conflict of interest. I do love that Weston though, well, yeah, 527 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: I think that has more to do with the hotel 528 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: and location than loving the airport exactly. You still like 529 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: this airport better? Well, for sure, it's obvious. I think 530 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: most of us do. I actually I was just telling 531 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: Seafort I watched JJ McCarthy beat Washington in the National 532 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 2: Championship game in that Detroit Airport Western Lobby bar. Yeah, 533 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: were we still stealing signals by then? It was that season. 534 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: That's all that broke. Yeah, don't recall if we were 535 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 2: or not, to be honest with you, what else do 536 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: we have here? I'm not sure how this hasn't been 537 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: mentioned here, but Michigan cheating and knowing what defense was 538 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: coming could only result in JJ pearing to be better 539 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: and he actually is. 540 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Well. 541 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 2: Look, we have talked about that often over the years, 542 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: and it's it's tricky because I certainly wouldn't have endorsed 543 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 2: the Vikings decision to draft them if I felt it 544 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 2: was all smoke and mirrors. I think you were on 545 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: board with that decision, too. But that's all. He's cold 546 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: have been hanging over the whole thing. You know, it's 547 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 2: the great unknown. It may well be that it had 548 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: a hell of a lot less to do with his 549 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: success than anybody wants to project. But that's the door 550 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 2: that gets opened when you have that kind of scandal, right, 551 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: is that it opens the door to any sort of 552 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: ominous feelings about it? What exactly it it represented? Maybe 553 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: we'll find out soon enough. I I don't know. Don't worry. 554 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: JJ will get hurt again by halftime this weekend, writes 555 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: Willow Mark Rosen's cat guy, and we will see Brozmer 556 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: soon enough. Nothing would surprise me now I asked you 557 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: this question. I don't know, Seaffert, Yeah, answered it or not? 558 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: Is there's a uh, there's a Twitter handle and x 559 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: handle called polymarket football. It's got a check mark. But 560 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 2: is it satirical or does it have any reporting chops? 561 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: Do we know? I have no knowledge of polymarkets? Too 562 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: delicious to not at least address it. Because here's what 563 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: they wrote. The Vikings have reportedly reached out to the 564 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: Giants and the availability of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. 565 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: They prefer Winston, but the Giants have no plans to 566 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: trade him currently. So is this a satirical site to 567 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: get Nacho liber going because of his well stated opinions 568 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: on on Russell Wilson on Russ Is there I would 569 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: be see. I would be skeptical to me, those names 570 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 2: are both too big because I don't think we're bringing 571 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: anybody into be a two. Bring somebody in as a 572 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: body to be a three. Probably you're gonna bring Russell 573 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 2: Wilson into be a three. No, are you gonna bring 574 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: Jamis Jamis into be a three? I don't believe so 575 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: at this point. So you're back to you got to 576 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: actually get somebody less distinguished just as a body to 577 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: have somebody there. No names have surfaced from the Jackals 578 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: right locally. I don't believe nothing I've seen, which surprises 579 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: me because I brought this up yesterday. So well, they 580 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: got to get another quarterback, even if it's a you know, 581 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: just for an emergency purpose and just for the sake 582 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: of having a third body. But we've seen weirder things 583 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 2: happen then two quarterbacks getting hurt the same week. It's 584 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: it's rare, but this is a rare offensive line. You 585 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: would think today would be the day to get that 586 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: done too, while the team is off before they come 587 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 2: back to practice tomorrow. Right, get him in the building 588 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: today or at least tomorrow morning and have already at 589 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: least that's true, scan the iPad a few times A 590 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 2: way of the land, Yeah, a little bit. I don't know, 591 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: and I are we is pastor not available? I don't 592 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: think so. No, he's on a team. Is on a team? Yeah, 593 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was New England, wasn't it 594 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: this we might have? Who was the QB we had 595 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 2: who could throw for four hundred yards but also throw 596 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 2: five picks? Shan Manyon, No, not Manion. There's Mullins. Mullins. 597 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: Is Mullins still in the league. Probably, see it would 598 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: be more of that color Manion or those kind of guys. 599 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: Don't you think we have had some guys? Man? Could 600 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: it be? Could we elevate our quarterbacks? Coach McCown? McCown, 601 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: he looks still to be in great shape, by the 602 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: way we'd ever addressed this. There was some consternation and 603 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 2: frustration about Yes. The smiling and laughing between Yes Carson 604 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: Wentz and the QB coach misconstrued fair game. They got 605 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 2: to understand, it's as visual. It doesn't look good. You're 606 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: getting your asses handed to and you guys are chuckling 607 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: about some inside jokes, even if it's gallows humor. I 608 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: thought it was absurd. I thought it was absurd, and 609 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: I I caught it a couple of times because didn't 610 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: Al Michael say something on the way into half? I 611 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: think I did hear that. I think on the Amazon 612 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: Prime broadcast he meant Prime video he mentioned kind of 613 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: an odd look here after what just happened? You're laughing 614 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: on the way in. I don't remember what the score 615 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 2: was intern guys back in studious. Oh good, I might 616 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: have to pop over and just tell him to go 617 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: get Louis. I told him. I tweeted out like it 618 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 2: was happening the whole game, like Carson's getting ragged alled 619 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: and then they come back to the side, It's like, 620 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: what's so far? Are we looking at Nate Bargetzi oels 621 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: or something? Those were rueful grins. Those were gallows humor grins. 622 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: What could possibly be funny? What could possibly be funny 623 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: about going into the half the way that you did? 624 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 2: There was nothing fun way that they were fine at all, Offense, defense, 625 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 2: special teams, the whole bit. It was not funny. And 626 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: I hated it, and I it was like it was 627 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: troubling at the very least. Yeah, like do I think 628 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: they should fire him? Friday morning. No, but what the season? 629 00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 2: He al's but county. He might be fifty, Oh is he? Yeah? 630 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: Probably starting to the ground. Your fans are in agony, 631 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: many of them in the stadium, and you're laughing like 632 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: you're at a Seinfeld show. Yeah, it was not It 633 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: was not a helpful. Look, I'm just gonna tell Kevin 634 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: to go get And what was weird? That's fine? And 635 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 2: what was weird about it is, on the other hand, 636 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 2: you got, you know, the quarterback himself grimacing like he's 637 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: about to die. And obviously he didn't think anything was 638 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 2: particularly funny about that. So it was a strange juxtaposition. 639 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: It's not the story, but I can understand how Vikings 640 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 2: fans are going, what are we doing here? What exactly 641 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 2: is the is the deal? This? 642 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 3: Are you familiar with? 643 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: George will George Will, Yes, the show ancient quarterback, quarterback. 644 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: I've got it on the brain right now. Columnist ye 645 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: who's still writing. He's eighty four. He's a ball guy, 646 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: he's and he's a big time ball guy. There's no 647 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: question about that. I put this under the clay. This 648 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 2: is a done as, This is a we doing in 649 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: all seriousness, What are we doing? He had a column 650 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 2: the other day that was just unsparing in its criticism 651 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 2: regarding let's just get anybody we can who looks suspicious 652 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: on the streets in the name of getting all the 653 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants out of the country. If you read about 654 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 2: the ordeal of twenty six year old George, I believe 655 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 2: it's pronounced retests, it's our etes detained by ICE agents 656 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 2: despite being a US citizen and a US Army veteran 657 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 2: served in Iraq. By the way, did not move to 658 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: the US from another country. Born in Ventura, California, grew 659 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: up on the West Coast. His mother born in Ventura 660 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 2: as well. Here's what George will wrote. One Immigration and 661 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 2: Customs enforcement agent's knee was on his neck. Another was 662 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 2: grinding his back, drenched with tear gas and pepper spray. 663 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 2: George Urettis might have wished that his one hundred and 664 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: thirty seven pounds were back in Kirkuk, Iraq, one of 665 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 2: his Army deployments. Here with a glimpse of your tax 666 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 2: dollars at work. ICE agents wearing gas max masks indicated 667 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: this was at the plant where he works. Indicators of 668 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 2: their dispositions were blocking entry. He recounts saying the plant 669 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: was not operating. This was not the last ice lie 670 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 2: the iceman, presumably looking for illegal immigrants, amid a torrent 671 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: of shouted and contradictory iceman commands, and after he asked 672 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 2: for an agent's badge number, he says that Will says 673 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: Retest was dragged from his car. His wrists were zip 674 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 2: tied behind his back, and he was seated on the 675 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 2: roadside ground for four hours, then taken to a Navy 676 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: base where he was strip searched, then onto incarceration in 677 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, handcuffs having replaced the zip ties. No charges 678 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: had been made against him, but a mouth swap collected 679 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: his DNA without his consent. He says, His request for 680 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: a lawyer and for a shower to ease at his 681 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 2: comforts of tear gas and pepper spray residues were ignored 682 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 2: after three days, during which he missed his daughter's third birthday, 683 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 2: and agent told him the charges against him had been dropped. 684 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 2: What charges, he recalls, asking silence. Two months later, he 685 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 2: publishes a newspaper ibed about his experience. I suddenly claims 686 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 2: Rettis had been resisting its agents. Video from a Los 687 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 2: Angeles television station's helicopter monitoring ICE's operations seems to refute 688 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: Will writes the agency's fabrication. Three months later, after being detained, 689 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 2: Will notes Dwettess is still speaking out about his experience 690 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 2: and his working with an Institute for Justice attorney. A 691 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy one Supreme Court ruling open the door for 692 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 2: holding abusive federal agents accountable for constitutional violations. Subsequent cases, however, 693 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 2: have almost closed the door. This might explain the ICE's 694 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: ICE agent's aura of impunity when abusing him for days. 695 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 2: How many appalling incidents are occurring during today tsunami of 696 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 2: sometimes lawless law enforcement. ICE might not know, and if 697 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 2: it does, might not speak truthfully. Even like I said 698 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 2: to the hardcore Trump fans, are you seriously behind this? 699 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: Are you endorsing this nonsense? We talked about this before 700 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 2: at the border. He's done the job, he won, But 701 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 2: when he opened the door as why as he has, 702 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 2: the longer this has gone on, the braver and more reckless. 703 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 2: We're learning that these ICE agents have become why because 704 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: there's nothing stopping them. So none of these stories are 705 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 2: particularly surprising, and they have nothing nothing to do with 706 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 2: actually taking care of the quote unquote I legal immigration issue. 707 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 2: When American citizens are treated like this, whether you're a 708 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 2: right a sharker a jet, shouldn't you be disgusted? Who 709 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 2: wins in that environment? This from George Will, by the way, 710 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 2: not exactly a George McGovern liberal. Louis Will be with 711 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 2: us top of the hour. I'm assuming top five at five. 712 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 2: We gonna do that with him or with or without it. 713 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: It never works with there. We got a lot to 714 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 2: discuss in the hockey world, by the way, including a 715 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 2: pretty interesting piece from Russo regarding allegedly one of our issues. 716 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 2: We've already had the captain's meeting with the general manager, 717 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 2: so I don't know what's left following at I've got 718 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 2: an idea up my sleeve that I think Luigi regarding 719 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 2: saving the wild, and I'm guessing Luigi will dismiss it 720 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 2: as being unrealistic. Interesting, but I would like to see 721 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 2: us find out whether it actually is as unrealistic as 722 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 2: as I'm assuming many people, including Louis Will will suggest. 723 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 2: We'll find out what he thinks is going on with 724 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 2: the gold I know, well, we talked a little bit 725 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: about the government's hockey team, but that was before we 726 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: got swept by d Luth. We're now is it two 727 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: five and one? That's what you said yesterday? Since we're 728 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: two five and one at this point, I know we 729 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 2: lost a bunch of people, but aren't there limits to 730 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: I mean, how far this this thing can go? And 731 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: who knows what else we'll get into. If you have 732 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: questions for Louis, the Bratcheaw Brian Kiffin text line is 733 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 2: wide open for you at six four, six, eight six. 734 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 2: What do we have for top five anything in particular? 735 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 2: We have Wolves, we have World series and more. Kevin 736 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 2: O'Connell explaining himself,
