It 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: was just you were tellyis well. Cat was like the 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: doll in one of the best Twilight Zone episodes. 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: About that was so good. It was so good, and 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 3: she was she was looking at me that that saying, 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: look that that doll did a Telly sala. Then you 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: shift over the cat. You smashed your head on head 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: at the end table, blood out everywhere. Basically it looked 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: like a crime scene. Clean cleaned myself up, uh, sucked 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: it up. See Sheldon, I went to, uh, well, read 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: some errands, and then I didn't know how bad it was. 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 3: Like I couldn't see the back of my head, and so, uh, 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 3: I should have had you look at it, but that 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: would have been probably not good. It was a big 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: gash in it, you know, it just had stopped bleeding. 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: So and I'm out of blood thinner, So I mean, 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: I joking aside, and it isn't a joke, but that's 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: a very dangerous, potentially dangerous situation, especially on your head. 35 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: There are plenty of horror stories about that. So I 36 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 3: want to make sure to have any other symptom. Was 37 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: and Sheldon said, as long as you're you know, I 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: think I'm relatively coherent. I could still put a sentence 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: together and I could understand what this saint to this point. 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: This was yesterday, though, I mean I was, you know, 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: yes correct. So I got done here and I tally 42 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: holed over to see Sheldon Burns and and here you 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: are you didn't even I bit down on a silver 44 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: bullet and he put it seven stitches in the back 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: of my head. A lot of people wouldn't even be 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: here today. Oh, I wouldn't have been here yesterday. Wouldn't 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: have been here yesterday. That's damn sure. I was literally 48 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 3: had a gash when you were here, gash, I was 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: here and you were here today. I'm here today and 50 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: happy about it. Car it was good. I just talked 51 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: to the coroner's office and uh, he's having computer problems, 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: so he wasn't happy. So there's always somebody upset about 53 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: something in this building. 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: They're not upset down at uh at Grand Casino, Oh, 55 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: my arena. 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: Wild Wave last night five I watched that whole game. 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: It was I think wild fever is up the Twin Cities. 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: This text message came in short Bran, a text on 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: I said, a sure sign that wild Fever's hit Minnesota 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: will be When Rosen finally goes to a game and 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: he buys his own ticket, claims to have bought his 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: own tickets. 63 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 3: I have a media pass, but I always love that one. 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: I'm still a member of the media, and if anything 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: that I've been grandfathered in. But I'll be going a 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: lot after the first of year, but not I haven't 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 3: had a chance yet. But I watched. I have been busy, 68 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: and I watched every minute octually. I honestly watched h 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: I watched every minute of that game last night I did. 70 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: I did. 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: And then I start watching the Championship with the NBA CU. 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: I flipped over. I was just going to say. Then 73 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: I flipped over to Prime and watched the second half 74 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: of the San Antonio Knicks game. And you could tell 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: you always talk about it. You know, these guys put 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: forth that effort. You would have sworn it was the 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: finals of the NBA Championship, and they kept showing the 78 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: guys at the end of the bench, especially from the 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: Knicks as they pulled away in the fourth quarter. Because 80 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: those guys earned five hundred thousand dollars last night losers 81 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 3: got and fifty whatever. It was not a bad consolation prize. 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: I know Barkley among others are ripping it, saying it's 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: just you know, to money grab blah blah blah, and 84 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: that does cheapen it. But yeah, you talk about an 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: early Christmas present for those guys at the end of 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: the bench and you who have two way contracts or 87 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, or making minimum, which is 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: still good money. But all of a sudden they get 89 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: a five dollars bonus. 90 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: Well, Runson, Big Bodega Cat and several other players could 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: have just wrote a check and handed it over those. 92 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: Well Bodega check, Bodiga Bodega Cat donated his money to 93 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: some relief fund somewhere. I think what I'm saying is 94 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: that correct. Yeah, they could, of course they could. Money's 95 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: really not that no, but they played. They played harder 96 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: than you normally. This was just me and I was caught. 97 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: Can they do another tournament than this week and then 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: week after that and the week after access on the way. 99 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: You'll get him to play like that? Yeah? Probably in 100 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: the nixt are here next Tuesday nights. I'm looking forward 101 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: to that. I saw a headline. 102 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: Honestly, this is how ridiculed us it is inform Nick 103 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: Surge pass burs to win first trophy since nineteen seventy three. 104 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: You can't climb that. If it is a trophy, it is, 105 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: there is a trophy. 106 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: They've not won the NBA Championship in seventy three, but 107 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 2: you can't write. 108 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: That headline with a straight face. Even the Knicks have 109 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: said common We're not hanging a banner. I would hope 110 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 3: they'd be embarrassing NBA Cup winner. I mean it's a 111 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: financial windfall for them. If you watch the game, and 112 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: I did the second half, I said after the Wild game, 113 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: it was entertaining basketball. I was anxious to see how 114 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: Wenby was doing and he was still not playing as 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: much as he's going to, as great as he is. 116 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: They had that with Stephen Castle, who was a Rookie 117 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: of the Year last year. He's damn good. That's a 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: good San Antonio team, really good team. 119 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: You didn't know who he was until last week when 120 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: I told you I know it and he went Rookie 121 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: of the Year I think or something last year. 122 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: But it was it was good, but not as entertaining 123 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: as a Wild game. I mean that that was and. 124 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: I well, if you're a Wild fan, it was more entertaining. Well, yeah, 125 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: it was a laugh or was a five? 126 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: Well, no, it was. I guess what I'm saying is 127 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: that the idea and a resident hockey guy, I remember 128 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: watching Vladimir Tarasenko just torched the Wild all the time 129 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: and last night he turned the clock back. He had that. Uh, 130 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: that Connor McDavid move last night, that was just dazzling, 131 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: setting setting up a teammate U for that goal. That 132 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: that was. 133 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: That was That was a Caprice move. It was behind 134 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: between the legs, passes, behind the back pass. 135 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: But the Wilder now at an NHL best seventeen three 136 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: and two since the first will come and Quinn Hughes 137 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: is undefeated. Undefeated. Yeah, the kids are good. You can 138 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: even the state of hockey and I. 139 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: Think that brings that up. 140 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. So, uh, it was it was fun. Yeah, No, 141 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: it wasn't a Washington didn't provide much of a you know, opposition, and. 142 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 2: They beat us the last time around by almost identical score. 143 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: We had one goal the last time the two teams, 144 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: it was five to one. The last time that was 145 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: back in in October when the while we're a totally 146 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: different team, terrible city, terrible fans, terrible steam, everything about 147 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 2: the wild was terrible. 148 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: It was October. Oh, it was often. Now they are. 149 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: Obviously one of the best teams in the National least 150 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: at least record wise. Rights that can change, as we know, 151 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: as seasons have ebbs and flows, ups and downs. 152 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: But as we speak right. 153 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 2: Now, and they're playing without several players that are injuries, 154 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: all other teams are probably in the same situation. I'm 155 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: not not acting as though that the Wild are the 156 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: only team that have players waylaid with injuries, but they 157 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: they they they they have some injuries to keep players, 158 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: yet they have two goaltenders. This is that now. Gustafson 159 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: started back to back games. That's the second time now 160 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: and about one ten to be about a week week 161 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: and have two weeks. 162 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: Because they were going they were alternating. 163 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be the Wall, then it would be 164 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: bus Wall, bus Wall, bus wallbus Uh gus has started 165 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: a couple of games in a row and it sits, 166 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: And so again I think it's. 167 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: Probably more of a feel and with. 168 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: The coach things who's playing well and who isn't that, 169 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: But everything right now is UH is working well, the 170 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: extremely well for the Minnesota while. 171 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: That duo is allowed a league low thirty nine goals 172 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: since November one. So I mean they're playing off each 173 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: other quite well. It does seem to be matter who's 174 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: in there their defense. 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: You you kind of you boned up, so you got 176 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: all these stats, you're boning. 177 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: Up on the I was locked in last night.

Yes, so maybe that's why 183 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: he wasn't. Yeah, a good point. I think he talked 184 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: about grind a grandparent. I don't know, it's a grandma 185 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: or grand A lot to do. Yeah, yeah, and that well, 186 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: you know, he they were kind of they were kind 187 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: of easing him back in then anyway, after that calf injury. 188 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: But uh no, he did not play that much last night. 189 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: But you know, the Spurs are still very very good 190 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: team obviously for lots of reasons. But at that good 191 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: point he did he answered I guess two questions after 192 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 3: the the game and then excuse. 193 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: You know, you know it was really good and I 194 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: asked you if you would Traine Ant for him, and 195 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: you said no. 196 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 4: Cooper Flag said an NBA record. 197 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: For points by an eighteen year old best to use 198 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: Lebron James. Associated Press Dateline Dallas says Cooper Flag scored 199 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: the most points by an eighteen year old in NBA history, 200 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: but couldn't enjoy the comments because it came in a loss. 201 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: Flag had forty two points, top in the previous mark, 202 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: a thirty seven set by Lebron James on December thirteenth, 203 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and three. Flag said, obviously we didn't win, 204 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: so it's tough for me to want to be happier 205 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: in that. Obviously it's a success. He also twisted his ankle. 206 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: Flag also became just the fit rookie to record forty 207 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: pound points, five rebounds and five assists in the last 208 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 2: fifteen years, as he finished with seven boards and six assists. 209 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: Skys for this kid, he's a hell of a player too. Man, 210 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 3: they didn't keep their best player. It could really haven't 211 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: held of the team. Well, then they wouldn't have got 212 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: that pick problem. They probably will take a break. We'll 213 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 3: come back wars or was ping pong balls Maybe wouldn't be. 214 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: It wouldn't matter. 215 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: We'll take a break.

Hicks, along with prominent Minnesota business leaders. Also, 231 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: Craig Leepold, who is the majority owner of the Wild, 232 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: is joined it independently as a limited partner. Hicks and 233 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: Glick Family Investments are acquiring non controlling minority stakes in 234 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: the Twins, while the family pole Ad family retains the 235 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: control of the ownership. Probably to me the the you know, 236 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't considered so concert who the minority owners were, 237 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: but uh, Joe Polad's being owning. Uh, the older brother 238 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: Tom is going to take over for Joe. And not 239 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: only that, he's also going to take over now for 240 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: Uncle Jim because Jim has been doing that. You know, 241 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 2: they have to have a liaison between the league and 242 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: the team, and and and Jim has. 243 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 3: Continued in that role. 244 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: He's now giving that a passing those duties along to Tom, 245 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: and then Tom is taking over and and you know, again, 246 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: I I don't think they've said why. 247 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 3: I just think I don't. 248 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: I think Joe was little and over his head on 249 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: that job. 250 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: I think he was probably a lot of it over 251 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 3: his head. Yeah yeah, but you know, there's only so 252 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: many things he could have accomplished anyway without you know, 253 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: parental sort of of putting a stamp of approval on 254 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: payroll everything else. I'd be interesting to sit down with 255 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 3: Craig Leopold to get his take on what's going on 256 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: and why. Number one, why he's doing this, because basically, 257 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: you're what you're doing is helping pay down the pole 258 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 3: at debt that they have with the team. But I'm 259 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: wondering if deep down he's also because there's a there's 260 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: a big labor situation coming up in Major League Baseball, 261 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of teams are anxious to get 262 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: a salary cap. We've been down this road before. To 263 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: have a true salary cap as we see the Dodgers 264 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: once again just reloading and adding more bodies to their 265 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: World Series Championship team that they will after this year. 266 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk already about having a lockout 267 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. But you know, I think it 268 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 3: goes both ways. It's not just a matter of having 269 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: the top the richest teams the Yankees, Dodgers, et cetera, 270 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: abiding by a payroll, but also having the teams like 271 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: the Twins, Pittsburgh, like Miami having to raise their payroll too, 272 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: you know, so you're not pocketing basically that money. Looking 273 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: at it that way, that you have to spend X 274 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: amount of dollars to improve your team. And I don't 275 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: know where Leopold stands and all this and why what 276 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 3: his motivation is to get involved in this stuff, but 277 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: it's interesting that his name did pop up in this 278 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: and then just an investment. Well, it might be, It 279 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: might be, it might and it's still I don't remember 280 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: too many sports franchises that end up being bad investments, correct, 281 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: But I think there might be ulterior motives. I don't know, 282 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 3: untunless Craig would be willing to talk about it. But 283 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,119 Speaker 3: I think basically she actually had dinner with her counterpart 284 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 3: from the Twins. Yeah. I didn't hear about any of this, 285 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: of course as a diabolical laugh, but I was they saying, no, 286 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: I lost my traina thon, thank you. Uh yeah, I 287 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: don't know. I think the labor situation is going to 288 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: be fascinating as it'll It'll come up in lots of 289 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: discussions after this as the season kicks off, and I 290 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: started looking at that Twins starting lineup and started to 291 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: like this team. 292 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: You like the Bell guy to at first base, and 293 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: he's a horrible first basement. It's all right, this is 294 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: his like eighth team in eight. 295 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: Years half first base glove will travel. How you've changed. 296 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 4: Ten years ago, you would have been saying this is 297 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 4: a good move, this is a. 298 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: Good move for the team. I think he's going he's 299 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: going to add a lot of power to a team 300 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: that needs power. He might see, he might hit twenty. 301 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 4: I'm so negative when it comes to the Twins. 302 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: I don't know what's happened to me. I don't know, 303 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: but I know I looked at that potential starting lineup. 304 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 4: Josh Bell is that his name? 305 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah, it's it's such a perfect Twins 306 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: type player. You know that we've seen throughout the years 307 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: that that they signed in the off season. They're once 308 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: signing this offseason. Oh my, atlea, he doesn't have to, 309 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: you know, he's renting, he's not buying. I guarantee you that. 310 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: Guaranteed seven million dollars. That's a huge contract. Well, it's 311 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: from the Twins. 312 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm talking. No, it's a chump change. Yeah, so, 313 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 3: uh yeah, I saw that. I don't know what else 314 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: to say about it other than the fact that polads 315 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: are shuffling the deck and then the pole that name 316 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: continues to be prominently mentioned, and they're not going away 317 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: and and just a different brother, a different relative, and 318 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 3: uh from the from the Carl Pohlad empire from many 319 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: many years ago. 320 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: Here's what rand Ball wrote. What do you say, Belle 321 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: is a chance to succeed? Well, of course, he's a 322 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: durable thirty three year old switch hitter, should bring credibility 323 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: in the middle of the Twins lineup while garnering plenty 324 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: in the playing time.

The way he talked about the 481 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: Giants was like, we're gonna have our hands was like, 482 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: they've won two games. 483 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: They're an awful football team. 484 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 4: Now we're not much better, but we're better. 485 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 3: I would hope we. 486 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 2: Would go to New York compose our will on this 487 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: club and give Jay Jay another opportunity to grow and 488 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: learn in the game and take another step toward hopefully 489 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: being the long term franchise quarterback of the soon to 490 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: be the BIGGIS or champion Minnesota. 491 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 3: Via the curiosity factor is still there, not necessarily nationally, 492 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 3: with all the other more important games that are going 493 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 3: on this weekend, and whether or not the Lions game 494 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 3: on Christmas Day and in particular the Packer game on 495 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: January fourth, will if it's still going to be January fourth, 496 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: probably will be Sunday. How much meaning you'll have for 497 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: those teams. 498 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 4: Well, for the Lions, here's where we'll have meaning they 499 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 4: need to go to. 500 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 2: The easiest way to the playoffs is they need to 501 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: run the table go three. 502 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: Oh. 503 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 2: They need either the Packers or the Bears to go 504 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: one and two or worse, right, because one of them 505 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: is going to win a game this weekend. It's going 506 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: to be a Chicago against Saturday night game, right, and 507 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 2: so one of them is going to win. Where it 508 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 2: doesn't look too bad for Detroit is that Chicago also 509 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: has to play San Francisco and then Detroit gets them 510 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: the last game. So if Chicago goes one and one 511 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 2: over the next two weeks and Detroit goes two and zero, 512 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: that last playoff spot will be determined by Chicago Detroit 513 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: in that last game of the season. If green Bay 514 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: were to go one and two in Detroit goes three 515 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: and oh, they would supplant green Bay as that last spot. 516 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: But they have to go three and all. Green Bay 517 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: schedule bears this week. Then they host the Ravens and 518 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: you never know what to get out of the Ravens, 519 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: and then of course. 520 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 4: The final game of the season against is Gians. 521 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 3: Well, the schedule makers know what they're doing with pretty 522 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: much all these you know, divisional opponents waiting till the end. 523 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: And that's the way it should be. I mean, your 524 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: best games should be in at the end of December 525 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: and early January. And so for the Vikings it is 526 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: a matter And you hear Koc, and this doesn't matter 527 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 3: the draft pick right now. They want to win football 528 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 3: games and McCarthy wants to keep getting better. This is 529 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: important as we hit towards really more meaningful games for 530 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 3: their opponents, but also from Minnesota, and I agree with that, 531 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: I heard Koc. I'm thinking I had to look up 532 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: the Giants record. They're two and twelve. I mean, and 533 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 3: I know they have a you know, they have some individually. 534 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 3: You know, they have the dark character now, a quarterback 535 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 3: who's kind of fun to watch. He darts around, he 536 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 3: runs around, and he's like, I saw what you did there? 537 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 3: He darts around. Yeah I did that, Yeah, I did that. 538 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 3: But U and the Vikings are three point favorites. I 539 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: was just looking this up, but they had this matchup 540 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 3: predictor and the Giants are fifty five percent to win 541 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: the game, the Vikings forty four percent. I'm going, wait, 542 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: why are the Why are the Vikings favored? And it's 543 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 3: gone up they were started. I think that it opened 544 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 3: up at a point and a half. Now they're faired 545 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 3: by three. I know we have spreads swing tomorrow. They're 546 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 3: a better team that they should be. Yeah, I mean, 547 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 3: they just wanted Dallas last year. I don't know what, 548 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: well Dallas is terrible. No, they're not terrible, but they were. 549 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: They still had play hopes last week. 550 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. But there's a reason they had playoff 551 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: team because they have a great defensive team. Look at 552 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: their schedule. They have two nice wins that made people 553 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 2: think they were better, and then they they're Dallas. 554 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 3: They're Dallas. So I'm gonna throw a wet blanket. 555 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: I'd like to see the Vikings play well, and I'd 556 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: like to see JJ grow in the next three games. 557 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: And I'd rather they lose three games and get a 558 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: better draft pick. 559 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: I just would. I know that I know the team. 560 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: I know the team doesn't want to and I get 561 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 2: that you always want to win. No guy, And I'm 562 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 2: not suggesting they tank. I'm not saying I want them 563 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: to tank. I just think playing competitive games that are excited, 564 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: I'll lose on a field goal to the end. Oh well, 565 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: but guess what then, all of a sudden, going from 566 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: having the sixteenth pick overall, whatever, the all of a sudden 567 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 2: we go to the twelfth of the ninth, and I 568 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: can tell you right now, I know there's not a 569 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: ton of difference. You can get a star at nine 570 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: or sixteen or a bust to either one. But the 571 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: further you are up in the draft, I think just 572 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: the better is. 573 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: Well, I'm like a year ago when the Viking has lost, uh, 574 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 3: you know the meaningful, the most meaningful game against the Lions, 575 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 3: which was for the number one seed, and you have 576 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: to remind yourself they were in that position just a 577 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 3: year ago. Uh that people sort of when the when 578 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 3: the as we get past the playoffs and you know, 579 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 3: eventually the big game and then we start talking with 580 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: the draft already, you don't really go you know, you 581 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: don't talk too much about the you know, the game 582 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: against the Giants, whether they win or lose this weekend. 583 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: If they lose the game, you're gonna go. Well, it 584 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 3: turned out it wasn't a bad bad thing for the 585 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: vikingscause now they got the, as you said, a higher 586 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: draft pick. But at the time when you're watching the game, 587 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: I don't I still think the high percentage of Viking 588 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: fans I would assume want them to win. They do. 589 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm asking the legitimate question. I don't 590 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: know how to throw it up Paul about that, but yeah, I. 591 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: Think you can still show growth in the quarterback can 592 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: be bri You can and you. 593 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 3: Lose, and you lose field. That's that's and I understand 594 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: that because I think you feel that. I felt that 595 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: way going into the Dallas game. I was so kind 596 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: of shrugged my shoulders about that. All I kept saying 597 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: to me. You know I said on the air a 598 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: bunch of times too, just don't embarrass yourself, and you know, 599 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 3: play better football, because you know, the Vikings have embarrassed 600 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: themselves too many times in national television and primetime games. 601 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 3: And here we are the first first series. Jaj gets 602 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: a pass batted up in the air and they intercept 603 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: it and they go in and score. I think, oh boy, 604 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 3: And then we all know what happened, and they came 605 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: back and did it. I'm gonna have to. 606 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: Try to explain this to Jeff and Montocello. I didn't 607 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 2: think I need an explanation, guid I did a good job. 608 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: He goes last time I checked. Hoping to lose the 609 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: last three games and tanking are basically the same thing. No, 610 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: tanking is losing intentionally. That's what tanking is. The definition 611 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: tank is losing games intentionally to improve your draft lot. 612 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm not asking the Vikings to tank. I want the 613 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 2: Vikings and the Giants to be in a shootout, a 614 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 2: great game, and I want McCarthy to look really, really good. 615 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: I want him to have a great quarterback rating. But 616 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: the Giants squeak one out with a field goal, at 617 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: the very end, and then and then the same thing 618 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: the following week and the week after that. 619 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 3: That's not tanking. 620 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: That's being a fan that understands the further you are 621 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: with the draft. 622 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: I just think, and I'm not just cutting the Lions 623 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 3: game because I think that's gonna be a lot of 624 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 3: fun on Christmas Day obviously very festive for lots of reasons, 625 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: and in particular because Snoop is performing at halftime. But 626 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 3: I think the Packer game here on the fourth of January, 627 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: you know, as they say, throw the records out the window. 628 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 3: I really do believe from a fans perspective, because you know, 629 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 3: there's gonna be tons of Packer fans here, especially if 630 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: the game means something to them and the Vikings. I 631 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 3: mean that that's going to be. It should be a 632 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: very very good football game. The Packers have to you know, 633 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: they're having they're licking their wounds right now because you 634 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 3: losing Micah Parsons and you know a few other bodies 635 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: that they have to deal with. But I don't think 636 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 3: anyone that's going to watch that game is going to 637 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 3: sit there and go, God, I really hope Green Bay. 638 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: If you're a Viking fan want you know, I would 639 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: they have the Vikings lose this game. I think most 640 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 3: people want always to be Green Bay. 641 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 2: It's because they're petty here I said, normally I'd agree 642 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: with com and want to lose out. 643 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 3: But man, it would be so fun to play. 644 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: Spoiler against all. 645 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: Right, if that's important to you, because what does that mean? 646 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: Well, so, okay, so you plays spoiler, and. 647 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are fire back going. 648 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 3: Look at if you looked at the Vikings drafts lately, 649 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 3: I mean, they really haven't hit home run and a 650 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 3: lot of them. So it doesn't doesn't it's rhetorical question. 651 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 3: We don't know the answer to it. 652 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: Well, my my sources tell me maybe you can confirm it, 653 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 2: and I because you're closer to it than I am. 654 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: But part of I've heard the rumor that chaoc part 655 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: of his bonus well, no, his agreement to. 656 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 2: Sign, you know, to sign the extension was he wants 657 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 2: to have a bit more say in personnel decisions. Well so, 658 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: in other words, if everybody wants to blame us and 659 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: worry about him conducting the next draft, I think Chaos 660 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 2: is going to have more to say this year than 661 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: he did in the past. I think you I've had 662 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: this discussion for years, how much, say, does the general 663 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: matter how much as a coach. I know, at the 664 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: end of the day, the general manager makes the selections. 665 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: But I just can't believe that a general manager walks 666 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: up and he's all by himself in the war room, 667 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: and he listens to what the other guy says, and 668 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he goes, well, that's great, 669 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: but guess who I'm taking. I don't think it works 670 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: that well. Pretty much all that you know is put 671 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 2: to bed before the draft. 672 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 3: I mean, they work all off season with their scouting department, 673 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 3: all teams do, and then putting the board together. So 674 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: when you put your board together, you pretty much stick 675 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 3: to what you have up there. You know. Obviously some 676 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: of the players they know are going to be gone 677 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 3: before they get to their guy or guys. I mean 678 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 3: last year, you know, Donovan, as it turned out, he 679 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 3: turned up, Donovan Jackson was a terrific draft pick. You know, 680 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: he's played really well for rookie in the offensive alignment. 681 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: But I think all that stuff is a cooperative effort 682 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: going into it. So the board is set, so I 683 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 3: don't know how many variations when push comes to shove 684 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: and you're on the clock and say, and all of 685 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: a sudden, you go, well, you know what, I'm changing 686 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: my mind. You know, we don't want to take this 687 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 3: guy at number eleven. We're gonna We're going to take 688 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 3: somebody else. It's like, wait a minute, we just spent 689 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: three months talking about this and setting up our draft board. 690 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to change at that point. 691 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 3: So I think that's more of a you know quasi koc. 692 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: You know the guys who are scouting right now all 693 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 3: the colleges as we hit to the ball season, that 694 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: they know what kind of what they want to go after, 695 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 3: and then they have free agency. So to be a 696 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: busy offseason for Rob Berzinsky dealing with all the contracts. 697 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: But it's not something they had. He hasn't done before, 698 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 3: and time and time again, they always managed to work 699 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 3: the salary cap pretty pretty effectively. He gets the he's 700 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: done a nice shop. I think overall, yeah, he's pretty 701 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: sharp at but he does yeah. 702 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 4: Oh well, you know him to see him often And 703 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 4: was he at the. 704 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 3: Vier Christmas party?
