1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: After thirteen seconds, apparently it's over for Lindsay Vaughn. Man, 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: oh man, oh man, What a shattering way for the 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: dream to die.

Well, 8 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: I've read several different reports, but basically eleven twelve seconds 9 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: into the Olympic downhill earlier today, taken off the course 10 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: by helicopter, and we talked a lot about, you know, 11 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: her desire to fight through despite her left knee being 12 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: pretty much shredded. In fact, I think as recently as 13 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: was it yesterday or the day before, she had a 14 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: pretty successful training run that I'm sure encouraged her to think, 15 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: you know, if I can pull this thing off. 16 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: Did not go well today the. 17 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Way it's been described the wires, she lost control over 18 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 1: the opening traverse after cutting the line too tight, spun 19 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: around in the air, heard screaming after the crash as 20 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: she was surrounded by medical personnel, eventually strapped to a 21 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: Gurney flown away by a helicopter, possibly ending her career. 22 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: The race was delayed about twenty minutes as she received treatment. 23 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Her teammate Breezy Johnson won the event and apparently joins 24 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: Vaughan as the only American women to win the Olympic. 25 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: Downhill. 26 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: Quote from John Elias eli Osich no eliash E La 27 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: sc H, the president of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. 28 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Crash was tragic, but it's ski racing. 29 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: I can only say thank you for what she has 30 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: done for our sport because this race has been the 31 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: talk of the Games and it's put our sport in 32 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: the best possible light. Not surprisingly, Von had family in 33 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: the stands, including her father. Von's sister Karen Kildau said 34 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: that definitely was the last thing we wanted to see. 35 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: She always goes one hundred and ten percent, but there's 36 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: never anything less. So I know she put her whole 37 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: heart into it and sometimes things have up and it's 38 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: a very dangerous. 39 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Sport. 40 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: Your call, she holds of Lindsay Vaughn holds a record 41 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: twelve World Cup wins. Killed us, saying Vaughn was being 42 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: evaluated and the family would meet her at the hospital 43 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: as well, and ski guy is right. 44 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it, this is. 45 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: This had become one of these stories even before the injury. 46 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: Lindsay Vaughn was going to be a big story for 47 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: all the obvious reasons, after having retired and saying coming 48 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: back and saying I still got an end me, I'm 49 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: going for it and having a great deal of success 50 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: in the lead up to the Olympics until the significant 51 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: injury the ACL a lot of us thinking, well, that's it. 52 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: We think ACL, we think, certainly football basketball, you're out. 53 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: You're not out forever, but you're out for more than 54 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: a week. And then we come to find out in 55 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: the skiing community, and there's probably some people in our 56 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: audience who can reach out to us via the branch 57 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: on Brian Kafan text line six four six eighty six, 58 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: who say that the dirty little secret in skiing is 59 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: that competitors have often done this and continue to compete, 60 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: at least for short periods of time despite that kind 61 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: of injury. And so then the hopes get buoyed again 62 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: like well, why not her? 63 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: Why not now? 64 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: And I am firm it was firmly in the camp 65 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: raising his hand saying it's her life. She is allowed 66 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: to take the gambles that she's comfortable taking. 67 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: Who am I to get in the way? 68 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Who am I to be presumptuous enough to lecture her 69 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: about what she should or should not do? I stand 70 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: by that today. I know there's gonna be a lot 71 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: of there's gonna be a lot of finger wagging today. 72 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: See what was she trying to prove? 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: Now? 74 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: Look, look how her life might be changed forever. Although 75 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: we don't really know that, there's gonna be Trust me, 76 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of people nodding their head saying, yeah, now, 77 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: how do you feel about being so tough and daring, 78 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: et cetera. And I stand by my own position on it. 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: It's her existence. Here's the thing. It's very clear, I think. 80 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be interesting to see what she says 81 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: on the other side of this thing, but. 82 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: I have to believe that in her mind, it's the old. 83 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: If I don't do it, even with this being among 84 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: the possible outcomes, I will be haunted by this for 85 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: the rest of my life because that's part of how 86 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: I measure myself. It's not life and death, but it's 87 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: important to me. So I'm not gonna sit here and say, well, 88 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: oh right, we shouldn't have urged her on. We should 89 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: have just told her, come on, you gotta be smarter 90 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: than that. No, it's her existence. It's ended. Couldn't have 91 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: ended as horribly. I mean, it couldn't have end any 92 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 1: more horribly than it did. I grant that point, but 93 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lecture her now at this point and 94 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: say this is exactly why she shouldn't have done it. 95 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: This is probably exactly why she needed to do it 96 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: to find out, and unfortunately it ends up being about 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: as bad an outcome as you would say. I think 98 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you're in the same boat on this. I don't know. 99 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not a great skiing mind. I'm not either. 100 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: For me, it's not about the ski. It's about telling 101 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: a grown woman what she should or shouldn't do in 102 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: a situation like this, and whether that's too reckless or 103 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: because I get into these arguments with people, even about 104 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: football players and when they should play and when they 105 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: should walk away and all those things, and I've always said, 106 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: you have every right to say to project what you 107 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: think you would do in that situation, the same situation 108 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: as an injured football player, basketball player, whatever. What I 109 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: don't think you have a right to do is to 110 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: tell someone else how they have to handle it. I've 111 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: always found that rather presumptuous when we're talking about adults. 112 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: But go ahead the same way that you can't tell 113 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: someone else what to do, and if they if it's 114 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: a risk that they It's similar to like to a 115 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: not wearing a Guardian cap. 116 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: Right, you know, everyone says it's stupid, but it's his body. 117 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: He knows the risk, that's very well published what the 118 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: risks are, and he continues to play and sometimes slide forward, 119 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: which I don't understand, but that's his right to do that. 120 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: My problem is sometimes if you play and you're not 121 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: one hundred percent and you give like you cost your 122 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: team the chance to win because someone else who could 123 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: be one hundred percent contribute more than you. Well, the 124 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: US won gold anyways in that event, so it doesn't 125 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: really matter in that sense. So in that case then 126 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, she wanted to do it, and she 127 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: thinks she can compete, and it didn't cost the US 128 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: any gold. 129 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, go right ahead. Yeah. Well, and again. 130 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: I had said, Guardian and I talked about this because 131 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: there are people saying, well, she, in a sense may 132 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: have taken away the chance of someone else to compete. 133 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: I think all of the skiers that are on the 134 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: team are competing in one form or another. But I've 135 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: also said, and not everybody's going to agree with this, 136 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: I do think when you reach it's sort of the 137 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's stature. I think when you reach a certain stature, 138 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be offended if you are given 139 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: special dispensation. You know, when Michael Jordan decided he wanted 140 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: to play baseball, there are a lot of the baseball seamheads, 141 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the purists, who are just offended because presumably, when he's 142 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: on that bus going through the South to play minor 143 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: league baseball, he's taking away the chance of another kid, 144 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: aspiring baseball player to be on that bus. And I 145 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: kind of rolled my eyes and said, you're right, yes, 146 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: you're right, guilty. But the fact is there are some 147 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: athletes who get to a place where the Jordan rules exist, 148 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: the Lindsay von rules exist, and in this case it's 149 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: moot because as you said, there that had the best 150 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: chance to win or to beat her ended up winning 151 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: the thing. 152 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: Anyway. 153 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: Brat Sean Brian Kafan text line is six four six 154 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: eight six. And by the way, we have no idea. 155 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it looked bad. I haven't seen it. I 156 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: didn't even know did NBC run it live on one 157 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: of their peacock channels. 158 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: I tried looking it up. I haven't seen it. 159 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: I have not seen it. So you know, part of 160 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: this is we don't know. It looked bad. The sound 161 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: of her voice. It was awful apparently according to people 162 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: who've listened and watched, But we don't know the extent 163 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: of the injury yet exactly. You know, does that mean 164 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: this is another cataclysmic injury? Does this mean she might 165 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: have difficulty walking? 166 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: I don't. 167 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot we I think we need to find 168 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: out before we go too far down that road. 169 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: But it's it's a shame because. 170 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: For the casual Winter Olympics fan, you are looking for 171 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: recognizable names, You're looking for storylines that you want follow, right, 172 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: and hers was one of the biggest and best because 173 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: she has had such and remarkably I mean historic career 174 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: and has had that ability it seems to keep coming 175 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: back and coming back.

We might need a new 196 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: nickname for the Stifle Tower. What's the new nickname that 197 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: would give proper gravitas to Stifle?

And after the game, Rudy 205 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: went off on his teammates. He all but named all 206 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: but named Julius Randall and Anthony Edwards. And then yesterday 207 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: the head coach Finch, he responded to Stifle. 208 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: He didn't sound very happy with Stifle.

Games it's such a bad. 331 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: Look for this. 332 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: League it's the only league that's doing it as often 333 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: as it, does and it's indefensible as someone, who AS i, 334 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: said grew up on the game of basketball and covered 335 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: this league and loves the stories of this league and 336 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: loves it at its. 337 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: Best AND i get. 338 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: It it's apples, oranges team, sport individual. Sport but the 339 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: contrast is pretty, stark isn't. It vaughn, says, Hell i'm 340 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: gonna go for. IT i don't know what's gonna. HAPPEN 341 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: i don't care what's gonna.

It but there is in that bleep. It 346 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: i'm going for. It there's that strain of competitiveness THAT 347 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: i always thought drove, sports or drove our interest in, 348 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: sports and THE nba with announcements like these and decisions like, 349 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: these is killing that thought or reducing people's willingness to 350 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: believe in that. Concept it's a it's it's an, awful awful. Look, 351 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: now you could, say who, cares it's the. Wizards they're irrelevant, 352 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: ANYWAY i get, That but those aren't That they're they're 353 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: not the only example of. It, now if you say 354 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: to Me jannis might not come back or it's going 355 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: to be really, SLOW i might be willing to accept 356 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: it because of the obvious concern that one of his, 357 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: injuries at least one of his injuries this, year can 358 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: be a precursor to the Dreaded achilles being. Shredded so 359 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: you gotta be smart and you have to be. Judicious 360 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: but that's not WHAT i. Mean how in all, seriousness 361 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 1: it's difficult for me to understand How Anthony davis sleeps at. 362 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: Night will you look up his? 363 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: SALARY i THINK. 364 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: I think this year he's making like fifty eight, million 365 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: AND i think it goes up to sixteen or maybe 366 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: it's it's fifty eight next. 367 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: Year double check the Current Anthony. 368 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: Davis salary for this year and what it goes to next, 369 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: year and THEN i think the year after, that he's 370 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: got a player option at like sixty two million or 371 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: sixty three. Million, yeah so this year fifty four, million 372 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: four s fifty, Eight, Okay, well then it goes to fifty, 373 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: eight next year year sixty, two the year after. 374 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: That how many games is he played this year? 375 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: Seven and by the, way came into camp in terrible. Shape, 376 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 5: man this league Needs David stern more than. Ever there's 377 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 5: not a chance in Hell David stern would stand for 378 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 5: all this. NONSENSE i don't know what he would, do 379 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 5: but he'd find something to. Do he'd find some way 380 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 5: to try to convey a different. Message or if it 381 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: comes down to we do again have to readthink the 382 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 5: way the. 383 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: Lottery works and lottery, balls the whole. Bit i've read 384 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: somebody saying this might make some sense that your best 385 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: bet on the. Lottery if you really want to fix, 386 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: this you go to a system where your performance doesn't even. 387 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: Matter that you put teams you. Put you have groupings of, 388 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: teams and within a given, group regardless of your, record 389 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: you're going to end up being in certain parts of 390 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: the lot of the, lottery or certain finish in certain 391 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: parts of the. Draft in terms of how, high how. 392 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: Low in other, words whatever you do in a given 393 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: season to tank is not going to have zero. Impact 394 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: you might not even have a chance at the top 395 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: pick at all that. Year something radical needs to be 396 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: done in that, regard because it's it's it's not a good, 397 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: look and it does look even worse when you compare 398 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: it to What vaughn is attempting to, do even if 399 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: there's many differences obviously between individual sports and professional sports as. 400 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: Well this is From tim out of, well we'll Save. 401 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: Tim tim's got an alt view THAT i have heard 402 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: before regarding The Von Lindsey vaughn.

Eruption somebody out there 407 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: in our audience will. Know i'm not exactly. Sure but he, 408 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: erupted and he got a response from his head, coach 409 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: who seemed angrier with him than he was with his 410 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: team's defense On friday. NIGHT a little concerning to. Me 411 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: we'll cover. That we'll, continue keeping the text coming as. 412 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: Well six four six eight Six back. 413 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 6: In Them wolves up on The pelicans in the third 414 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 6: Quarter Friday night by. 415 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: Eighteen they end up losing one nineteen to one. Fifteen 416 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: their defensive effort was beyond, paultry and after the, GAME 417 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: i think one of the team, Consciences Rudy gobert decided 418 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: to speak. Up he's done this, before but in slightly 419 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: more muted. Fashion there was nothing muted about his Approach. 420 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: Friday. 421 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: Night it should start with, ourselves but it seems like 422 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: we don't have, that SO i think at some point 423 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: it has to come from the. Coaches it's not an 424 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: easy position for a coach to take guys out of the. 425 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: Game it's not something that you want to. 426 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: Do BUT i think if the players don't show any 427 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: effort at some, point no matter how talented we are 428 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: as a, team if you don't have, that you just 429 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: can't be. 430 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 2: A winning. 431 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: Team, now he, says, look you, know take me. Out 432 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: you need to take me out of the, game because 433 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: you could argue, that you, know he didn't really do 434 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: much to Stop Zion, williamson who ended up with twenty nine. 435 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: Points he only missed two, shots got to the basket 436 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: whenever he. Wanted although he can be. Tough he's a 437 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: low there's no question about. That when he gets it, 438 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: Going rudy went on to, say at some, point if 439 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: the players don't have, accountability someone has to have accountability 440 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: for the. Players i'm on straight. Effort i'm just talking straight. 441 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: Effort i'm not even getting to the basketball side of, 442 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: things like there's always mistakes. 443 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: Are a part of the. 444 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: Game but the, effort to, me for a team that 445 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: wants to play for a, championship it's. 446 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: Unacceptable he did. 447 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: Not name, names it was very, CLEAR i think more 448 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: than anyone, else was talking About Julius, randall but you 449 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: could make the argument he was also talking About Anthony. 450 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: Edwards neither one of them played well defensively as. Well 451 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: and again you want to Put rudy in, there and he, 452 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: says If i'm not showing, effort bench, me take me 453 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: out of the. Game everybody else will follow our best players. 454 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: Leaders if we don't show any, effort it doesn't matter 455 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: if you score, fifty we are not going to win. 456 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: Now As Johnny athletic pointed out In, theory this sounds 457 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: like this sounds understandable From, rudy but he mentions that 458 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: in The grizzlies. Loss rudy did not play much in 459 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter Because Jaron jackson junior since, traded was dominating. 460 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: Him and it's pretty hard to Bench edwards Or randall 461 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: if they're providing the offense for a team that is 462 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: having difficulties. Scoring you, know do you cut your nose 463 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 1: despite your?

Weapon does that? 493 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: WORK i think within games it can, Actually And i'm 494 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: on Team gobert on, this AND i get. 495 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: It he's an easy. 496 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: Mark himself because of his, offense some, limitations and you 497 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: can even, say well, defensively he didn't necessarily have a great, 498 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: game but most GAMES i see because he knows he 499 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: can't do much. Offensively for that, REASON i Think rudy 500 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: does bring most knights this, year especially incredible effort. DEFENSIVELY 501 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: i don't know how they keep stats for these, things 502 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: but if there's a. 503 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 2: Stat for. 504 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: A guy gets to the, lane beats his, man then 505 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: thinks twice about whether he's actually going to try to 506 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: take a shot Because rudy is there guarding the. Basket 507 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: it happens over and over, again and it doesn't show. 508 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 2: Up in the staffs because the guy didn't take the, 509 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: shot but it. Counts AND. 510 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: I think my guess is With rudy is that he 511 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: knew that he was probably going to get sent to 512 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: the principal's, office and he knew, that you, know he's 513 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: probably making himself a little bit vulnerable going down this, 514 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: road keep it in the, house all that sort of, 515 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: thing but that he's he's frustrated by it and tired of, 516 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: it and maybe he's even you, know as dangerous as 517 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: this can, be trying to light a fire Under finchy's ass. 518 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 2: And saying. 519 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: This isn't. Working we're not going to get where we 520 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: want to. Go and here's the big Comeback i've heard 521 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: Today Mattine Game clippers on The timberwolves channel via the iHeartRadio. 522 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: App iodusumu will make His wolve's debut And i'm already hearing. It, 523 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: well maybe he can save this team or remind this 524 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: team of the importance of playing hard and with purpose. 525 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: Defensively And i'm just here to tell you if this 526 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: team is counting on this, capable helpful, player changing everything 527 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: about consistency of defensive. Performance this team is. Done they 528 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: might as well stop playing right. Now that's too much 529 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: of a burden to put on a good role player 530 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: Who i've who's you, know getting him, Here i've, ENDORSED 531 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: i like, HIM i think he will. 532 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: Help but come, on, man. 533 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: They. Shouldn't these players are too well, compensated too well, 534 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: established no matter their, Age they've been around too long for, 535 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: well we've just been waiting For Io desumu to get, 536 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: here to convince us to pay attention defensively a little more, 537 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: often and not let what Happened friday night happen very. 538 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Often they're doomed that it all has to come from. 539 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: Within might he? Help, yes because he's a two way, 540 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: player he's a scorer off the. Bench we've laid out 541 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: all the reasons why this is a good, Acquisition but 542 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: that's letting the other players off the hook for in my, 543 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: view a little bit too. Easily who should know? Better and, 544 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: frankly it's always been my biggest concern About. Julius he's 545 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: found a home. Here he's a better player THAN i 546 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: even realized when we got. Him but there's still some stretches, 547 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: where even more than With, ANTHONY i watch him defensively 548 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: AND i, go does he really want to win a? 549 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: Championship not be, good not times be very, good but 550 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: does he really want to do what is necessary to 551 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: win a championship or to give your team the best 552 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: chance to do. It i'm not. Sure that's my one significant. 553 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: Concern So i'm applauding What rudy. Did he knew he 554 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: was going to get get called out for, it BUT 555 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: i guarantee you that it resonated in. 556 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 2: There you know, why because it's. 557 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: True rudy's point is we may have, limitations we may 558 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: have things that keep us out of getting back to 559 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: the final four or even, beyond but we can't not 560 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: get there because we play as carelessly and as disinterested 561 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: as we did defensively against a team like The. Pelicans 562 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: So I'm i'm all in on any good, nicknames new, 563 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: nicknames AND i think the you, know SOMETIMES i, think 564 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: as a, player you, GO i Know i'm not supposed 565 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: to say. 566 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 2: THIS i know many get called up by the, coach 567 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: but you go bleep, it. 568 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: Whether it's heat of the moment or what, ever and 569 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: it's not like When rudy says this, stuff he's. 570 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 2: Screaming rudy's pretty low. 571 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: Key he just lays it out AND i you, know, 572 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: look we've heard this and From anthony from time to 573 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: time where he kind of, says, WELL i got to 574 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: REALIZE i GOTTA i gotta do it more often, defensively 575 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: and you could you could praise him for his. Honesty 576 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: you could, Say, okay we're past the point now where 577 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: we should even be accepting that comment. Anymore you're, young 578 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: but you've been in the. League is this in your double? 579 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: Check IF i think this is either year five or 580 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: six For. Anthony now the head coach might have made 581 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: a fair point to say some of this is. 582 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: Actually related to. 583 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: Offense that if you if if you do the things 584 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: to make your offense go well in simpler fashion without 585 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: making it so, hard you might end up having more 586 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: energy on the defensive end as. Well that might be 587 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 1: indeed part of the the. Story AND i can you, 588 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: KNOW i can listen to a little bit about, that 589 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: the quote From finchy that got my. ATTENTION i need 590 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: this to be drilled down. ON i think a lot 591 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: of our low energy plays comes from a collective kind 592 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: of foul. Mood so those are things THAT. 593 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: I try to. 594 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: Identify transition defense is most obvious one for, us a 595 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: bit of a litmus test for our mood and our 596 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: willingness to make that play tails that foul foul. Mood 597 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: what does that? Even what does that? MEAN i, mean 598 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: it's his, team and he might be, right BUT i 599 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: got to tell, You i've said this. Before finchy has 600 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: done a terrific job as a coach. Here he's in 601 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: very solid position and should, be BUT i think he's 602 00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: getting perilously close to that trap where after game he, goes. 603 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 2: What's up to? Them they'll foul. MOOD i don't. Know 604 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 2: it's your, team, coach. 605 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: At some, point whether it's unfair or not to put 606 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: all that on, you it is your. Team and if 607 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: you have that much difficulty getting them out of their foul, 608 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 1: MOOD i would worry less about being mad At rudy 609 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 1: for going public with this and more about doing something about. 610 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 2: It and you just you. 611 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: Can't you can't separate yourself from, IT i, Think and 612 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: this is what coaches tend to do after a while 613 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: when they get. Frustrated but they've got to realize that 614 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: it does come back on. Them why are you not 615 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: reaching them more? Consistently why can't you convince? Them and 616 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: do you use the hammers at your disposal as effectively 617 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: as you? Should and one of the hammers is playing. 618 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: TIME i mean he can say we don't substitute your 619 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: way to a. TITLE i don't know about, that BUT 620 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: i know there are times where you, go you're looking 621 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: at the lack of defensive purpose and you go take them, out. 622 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 2: Sit him for five. 623 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: Minutes AND i think that's part of What rudy was 624 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: trying to. Say IT'S i think his level of frustration as. 625 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: Well dan foul Mood finch he is talking about is 626 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 1: the body language of the players on offense when the 627 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: ball gets. Sticky but it doesn't explain what is the 628 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: origin of the foul. Mood what contributes to the foul? 629 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 2: Mood is he? 630 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: Saying the text are, saying, well people pout because the 631 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: ball seems to get, sticky and So i'm not getting my. 632 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: Touches therefore NOW i Have i'm part of the collective foul. 633 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: MOOD i don't. Know we be getting these lack of 634 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: efverge stories every few weeks From wolds for three. Years 635 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: is a time to just accept this as who they. Are, 636 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: yeah it might, be BUT i think To rudy's, point 637 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: it means you won't win a. Title you might be 638 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: good enough to continue to sort of hang in and 639 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: be in the, mix but you're probably not going to 640 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: win a. 641 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 2: Title and, look we get.

IS i put it on the 925 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 1: organization for trying to be the smartest guys in the, 926 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: room thinking we're reinventing everything because we reject meat and. 927 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 1: Potatoes AND i think the lesson is meat and. POTATOES 928 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: a steady diet of meat and, potatoes constant, evaluation living, 929 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 1: it breathing, it sleeping. 930 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 2: It it might be boring to the rest of. 931 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 1: Us but it's what gives you the best chance to 932 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 1: get to decent numbers of starts of players who are 933 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 1: starting for you from your. 934 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 2: Drafts doesn't guarantee. 935 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: Anything lifers can still make bad drafting, decisions but it 936 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: gives you a better, chance and that to me should 937 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: be the. LESSON i only think what we're, learning what's 938 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 1: what's being, really what's been, reinforced is we shouldn't be 939 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: surprised that this was the outcome that we sold ourselves 940 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: a bill of goods. On LIKE i, said you, know seemed, 941 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: cool sounded, different all that. 942 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 2: Stuff and then we say we got to give him a. 943 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 2: Chance he's. 944 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 1: Here all that stuff sounds, wonderful but in the, end 945 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: does it really serve what you're looking at or what 946 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 1: chance you have to be? Successful so it's much more 947 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: on the organization for making this. Higher and again he 948 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: was with various, teams but still relatively, speaking had almost 949 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 1: no experience compared to many of the others that were 950 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: being interviewed or at least being, discussed and many others 951 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 1: who have who absolutely have had the. Position and Again i've, 952 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: said And i'll stick with this when it comes to 953 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback, FAILURE i don't put it all On. QUAZY 954 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 1: i think it's As i've said for, days it's too 955 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: easy to blame. 956 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 2: Everything on, him the guy out the. Door he's got 957 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 2: nobody speaking up for. 958 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: Him so you know, what we'll blame him for the 959 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: stuff that he's responsible. For you, know let's add a 960 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,080 Speaker 1: couple other things, too because those were some of the 961 00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: national stories that were, written not locals. Stories were some 962 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: feeling behind the scenes That quasy was more insistent about 963 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: moving on From darnold than the head coach, was and 964 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 1: there are some differences there between the two and On 965 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: rogers et, cetera et. 966 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 2: Cetera too easy to go down that. 967 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: Road that's a shared, responsibility especially given the amount of. 968 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 1: POWER i think it's very clear The vikings wanted to 969 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 1: give And quasy was willing to give the head coach 970 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,600 Speaker 1: when it came to that sort of valuation and what 971 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 1: approach to. 972 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Take So i'm stick going back to the. 973 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: Draft that's the meat and potatoes story. Here that's the 974 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 1: failure that has put The vikings in a. Position and, 975 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,800 Speaker 1: again what's. Ironic their overall record in the four years 976 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 1: here is. Good the regular season RECORD i think is. 977 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 2: Top, five but you can argue that it's. 978 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: Been it's BEEN i guess compiled in spite of a 979 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 1: series of wings and misses in the draft that left 980 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 1: no margin for. Air meant they had to go out 981 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 1: and spend a lot of money two years. AGO i 982 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 1: think it looked. Good this past year not so, much 983 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 1: but they had to spend it both years because their 984 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: draft was so. 985 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 2: Thin so, again newest. 986 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: Good sometimes bean sprouts are good for, you they tell, 987 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: me but meat potatoes. 988 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 2: Might not hurt this. Organization have a little more of. 989 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 1: That as much as AS i, said they like to 990 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: present themselves as this cutting edge post modern football franchise 991 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: like very few others. 992 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 2: Before we just they haven't done. 993 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: Enough they've done nothing in the POSTSEASON i, think to 994 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: where they should be patting themselves on the back for 995 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 1: how clever they are how capable they are of looking 996 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 1: looking out of the, box because that approach got them 997 01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: into this current mess where they now now felt compelled 998 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: to look for another. Individual and that again has nothing 999 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:11,720 Speaker 1: to do with whether he, was you, know the overblown 1000 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: part of the story regarding the paternity to, leave or 1001 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: how often he was in the, office or how detached he, 1002 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: was whatever the case may. Be it has to do with, 1003 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: results and you're going to give as in THE, nfl 1004 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: if you're the talent, evaluator there's two ways to do. 1005 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 1: It you can be the one who evaluates from the 1006 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: beginning and trusts his own, instincts and or you put 1007 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: people around you who also you trust in that regard 1008 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 1: and that combination ends up giving you a good chance to. 1009 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Success and that's about not just, analytics where there's a 1010 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 1: place in the league for no, question but also just 1011 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 1: the proper evaluation of a player that goes back to 1012 01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 1: what you've learned over the course. 1013 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 2: Of time you have been in that particular. 1014 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Business so his, point AND i think it dovetails with 1015 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 1: what we've kind of talked about the last week or, 1016 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 1: so is that we really shouldn't be shocked that this 1017 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: was the result that this was the, outcome and we 1018 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,680 Speaker 1: got to get over. Ourselves this, ORGANIZATION i, think has 1019 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: to get over itself about always trying to say we're, 1020 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: different or we're cutting, edge or we're doing something that 1021 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 1: no one else is, doing because you can talk yourself 1022 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 1: into this sort of colossal, error and from a drafting, 1023 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: standpoint it's an error that's going to take them a 1024 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of time to recover. From, right when you have 1025 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,040 Speaker 1: four years of, that then you're not going to get 1026 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: out of it in fifteen. 1027 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 2: Minutes just stop. 1028 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: Being so, cute make solid decisions that are well grounded in, 1029 01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: what year after year is proven to be the best 1030 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: chance for success when it comes to talent. Evaluation by the, 1031 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 1: way There's Kirk cousins. News seems to be more speculation 1032 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: That kirk and The vikings might be. Reunited huh. Interesting 1033 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: how do we feel about? That my guess is most 1034 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 1: rooms are not.

Week your alternatives aren't necessarily all real, 1036 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 1: attractive SO i don't think you can rule out the 1037 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: possibility that he could end up back. HERE i like 1038 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 1: what somebody said via THE x.

Evaluation and that's the FLAW i 1133 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 1: think with this whole higher from the beginning to give 1134 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,519 Speaker 1: yourself the best chance to have that person break, ties 1135 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,560 Speaker 1: maybe overrule, scouts or come to some kind of consensus 1136 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 1: with scouts as. Well it's always, shared but in the 1137 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,720 Speaker 1: end it's got to be the responsibility of the person in. 1138 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Charge by the, WAY i forgot to pay off the 1139 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 1: tease about a comment somebody made about The Lindsay vaughn. 1140 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 1: Story and this person said that she, ran she, raced 1141 01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 1: or skied for only one reason or continued to her. 1142 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 1: Ego she's an. Egomaniac And i'm assuming that that person 1143 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 1: hasn't spent much time around world class, athletes Because i'll 1144 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:19,040 Speaker 1: just tell, you if you don't think the best of 1145 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 1: the best can indeed be ego maniacal or have outsized, 1146 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:32,640 Speaker 1: egos you haven't been paying attention some of the greatest 1147 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: individual sport athletes and team sport Athletes i've ever covered 1148 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 1: had way than a fair share of arrogance and. Ego 1149 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:51,120 Speaker 1: so if you think that's, DISQUALIFYING i don't know what 1150 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:52,640 Speaker 1: to tell. You i'd say you're going to be very 1151 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: disappointed to find out about how many of your favorite 1152 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:59,640 Speaker 1: athletes also were ego. Maniacal make no, mistake you have 1153 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 1: to have a very oversized view of yourself and what 1154 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: you think you can do to get done what you. 1155 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Do so if he meant, it if that texture meant 1156 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,679 Speaker 1: it as a, rip that's, fine BECAUSE i don't doubt 1157 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 1: that ego is part of what was driving her to 1158 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 1: Say i'm gonna do something everybody SAYS i can't. Do 1159 01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: but that's often the essence of great athletic performance and 1160 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 1: great athletes. APPROACH i GUESS i don't find that all 1161 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:36,800 Speaker 1: that different or all that, unusual AND i certainly would 1162 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 1: not call it. DISQUALIFYING i would Say dan wasn't The 1163 01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,679 Speaker 1: this is From ed And Saint. Paul the other finals 1164 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 1: for The VICES gm position went To quayzy The Chicago 1165 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 1: bears Guy Ryan poles came from The, chiefs Drafting caleb 1166 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 1: A no, brainer but he fixed THEIR o, line While 1167 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 1: vikings remain a work in. Progress of fair to, say 1168 01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,680 Speaker 1: the In chicago so far happy with their guy after 1169 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,040 Speaker 1: nail The Ben johnson, Higher, well we talked about this a. 1170 01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:08,640 Speaker 2: Lot and in that, VEIN i think. 1171 01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 1: We could argue That poles would have been a far 1172 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 1: more traditional higher because of what he grew up in 1173 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 1: and what his background, was far more than. 1174 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 2: Quazy. 1175 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:28,160 Speaker 1: Now the scuttle but at the time was that, polls 1176 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 1: this was what we discussed when we're looking for NEW. 1177 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: Gm what did the owners? Wanted how did the owners 1178 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 1: decide which way to. 1179 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 2: Go was it. 1180 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,200 Speaker 1: Taking the guy who told them what they wanted to 1181 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 1: hear or was it taking the guy who told us 1182 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 1: what we need to. Hear the, DIFFERENCE i think is not. 1183 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 1: Subtle the feeling was there was a decent chance that 1184 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 1: that what The vikings owners wanted to hear was you 1185 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: don't have to tear this. Down you can do a 1186 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: quote unquote competitive. Rebuild we can get this. Done give 1187 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 1: me a, chance And crazy to that extent told the 1188 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 1: owners exactly what they wanted to, hear and then it 1189 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,000 Speaker 1: was more likely that polls said. 1190 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 2: You might be stuck in the. 1191 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: Middle here where as painful as it, is you might 1192 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 1: have to tear it down. First now is that an 1193 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 1: oversimplification of What pole? SAID i don't, know BUT i 1194 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,679 Speaker 1: do think it's fair to say that at the time 1195 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 1: The vikings owners didn't want to hear. That whether it 1196 01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: was what they needed to hear or, not they didn't 1197 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 1: want to hear. It now they may have, say, well 1198 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,280 Speaker 1: we feel vindicated in. That look at the number of 1199 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 1: regular season games we've. Won but obviously they're not satisfied 1200 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: enough by that because they've made this decision to move. 1201 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 1: AWAY i think polls to that extent is more. Traditional 1202 01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 1: has he made all great? 1203 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:55,839 Speaker 2: Moves? No is it hard to screw up The Ben johnson. 1204 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 1: Higher everybody thought he had a chance to be really, 1205 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 1: good but nevertheless he got it done or they got it. 1206 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 2: Done for, sure that's very. 1207 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Important and their offensive line moves definitely worked better Than 1208 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 1: quazy's offseason offensive line. Moves both teams basically were trying 1209 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,639 Speaker 1: to remake their offensive lines on the on the. Fly 1210 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 1: i'm looking for more opinions On kirk Oat chains coming. 1211 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,439 Speaker 1: Back do you want the meat and potatoes Of Kirk 1212 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 1: cousins coming? Back, ever he's cut from The. Falcons, well, 1213 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: again it depends on who my other choices. 1214 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:38,720 Speaker 2: Are what are my other. 1215 01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Options on the face of, It i'd say, No i'd 1216 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:43,920 Speaker 1: rather not go back down that. 1217 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 2: Road i'm not. 1218 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 1: CONVINCED i saw enough to feel, like, well then you 1219 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 1: got a chance to he has a chance to reinvent 1220 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,639 Speaker 1: himself and come back and be a big time. 1221 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,200 Speaker 2: Contributor i'd rather not go back to the. 1222 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Future BUT i have to know what my other, positive 1223 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 1: what my other options are that are, Attainable i'll say, 1224 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: again and we're Gonna we'll talk To seafert early this, 1225 01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:07,799 Speaker 1: week Probably. 1226 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,439 Speaker 2: Tuesday but. 1227 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 1: The feeling seems to BE i think the way he 1228 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: put it in writing was that at the quarterback, position 1229 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: when it comes TO jj, McCarthy all bets are off 1230 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 1: based on the sources he's talked, to and that, is if, 1231 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 1: true massive that's in effect saying all the other things 1232 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:34,480 Speaker 1: that we were worried. 1233 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,120 Speaker 2: About. 1234 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:46,600 Speaker 1: Frustrating the young QUARTERBACK, jj worrying or fretting about a quarterback, 1235 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,679 Speaker 1: circus if we open it up to, competition all those 1236 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 1: things is, well if you're going to do this. 1237 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 2: The right, way we're not going to do it that. 1238 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 1: Way we've got to just keep nurturing him as the 1239 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 1: guy we do not have to.

Representatives it sounds like 1242 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 1: they're basically, saying, now. 1243 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 2: We don't. Care that's a survival. 1244 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 1: INSTINCT i think Right quazy's, gone that means the last 1245 01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: guy standing Is koc and he's got to be smart 1246 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 1: enough to, know despite the great regular season record, overall 1247 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: that he's going to sink or swim on whether The 1248 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: vikings figure out this quarterback. Thing and at that, point 1249 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 1: when that survival instinct kicks, in you worry less about 1250 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 1: whether there's going to be a circus Or jackals Like 1251 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 1: seaford are going to be asking every day when when 1252 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 1: one of the two quarterbacks.

WIN i don't even think you can 1264 01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,400 Speaker 1: rule out the possibility of McCarthy being, dealt Although i'm 1265 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:17,680 Speaker 1: not even sure what you can get for him at this. 1266 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 2: POINT i think all bets are. 1267 01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: Off might well mean what it says that this team 1268 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 1: is going to take a, long hard look at itself 1269 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,360 Speaker 1: moving forward at the quarterback. Position whatever they felt like 1270 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 1: was in, place no matter what they felt a year 1271 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 1: ago was the right.

ACL i did have somebody, say because we 1298 01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 1: had a physical therapist say she couldn't really do any 1299 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,919 Speaker 1: more damage to. It but THEN i had a, doctor 1300 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 1: an orthopedic doctor, afterwards say not so, fast my, friend 1301 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 1: you can't be certain of. That in, fact there are 1302 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,559 Speaker 1: ways in which more of damage might be, done so 1303 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:53,080 Speaker 1: that's worth. 1304 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:53,559 Speaker 2: Discussing. 1305 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,519 Speaker 1: Dan there's a picture Of Lindsay van's run today where 1306 01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 1: apparently her pole got hooked up in one of the 1307 01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 1: flags around that, turn got wrapped in. It somehow she 1308 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 1: got too close to it and that's what made her 1309 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: lose her balance and that led to her being out 1310 01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 1: somewhere between eleven and thirteen seconds into her downhill, race 1311 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: ending The Lindsey Vonn. Dream this is a tim checking 1312 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:18,879 Speaker 1: in From Lovely San Diego. 1313 01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 2: Morning great. 1314 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,679 Speaker 1: Show reminder That Lindsay vaughn won Two World cup goals 1315 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 1: before The olympics. Began she is a once in a lifetime, 1316 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,680 Speaker 1: athlete and of course she has an. Ego she's in her. 1317 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 1: Forties just enjoy and be. Amazed that's WHERE i am 1318 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,720 Speaker 1: now the question of coaches stepping, in BECAUSE i did 1319 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 1: ask that koc step in On Carson. Wentz different, circumstance, team, 1320 01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 1: sport a lot of, variables there. 1321 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,639 Speaker 2: A lot of DIFFERENCES i guess between the. Two but. 1322 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,599 Speaker 1: My guess is that they may have talked to her 1323 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 1: and they made said you sure you realize you know 1324 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 1: some of the concerns here that we have for. You 1325 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 1: but my guess is they probably know her well enough 1326 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 1: to say this is her. Moment she is trained to 1327 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: get back to, this and that is WHAT i said 1328 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: at the start of the. Show my guess is what 1329 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 1: we're going to hear from her is, yeah it ended. 1330 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 1: Badly it did not end the WAY i wanted it. 1331 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 1: To but IF i hadn't done it at, ALL i 1332 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,920 Speaker 1: would have been haunted by wondering what might have. Been 1333 01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,200 Speaker 1: AND i don't blame it for. That when you're a 1334 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:35,640 Speaker 1: world class athlete or in that, sense that's that's the 1335 01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 1: way you, think and you're the one who has to 1336 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: live with the consequences and the. Ramifications do you think 1337 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 1: The vikings are really at that point after eight? Starts 1338 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 1: did you give up on a twenty two to twenty 1339 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,400 Speaker 1: three year old? Quarterback or is just such pressure for 1340 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 1: fans in the media that we have to win now 1341 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:54,760 Speaker 1: that we can't let the kid play for a couple 1342 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 1: of years and. Develop, well it goes back to what 1343 01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: your expectations are for the. Team if The vikings made 1344 01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 1: an announcement with you know whoever their NEW gm is 1345 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,280 Speaker 1: going to be, eventually they're they're not gonna do that. 1346 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,479 Speaker 1: Now Or Robert zinsky gets the, job and he, said 1347 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 1: he gets in front of the microphones and, said boys and, 1348 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 1: girls we're done with the competitive. Rebuild we are going 1349 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 1: in a completely different. Direction this is a. Process it's 1350 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:27,439 Speaker 1: going to take more than a. Minute then everything, changes 1351 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 1: including the. Patients WITH jj. McCarthy the problem you, have 1352 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 1: The Sticky wicked is you have a world class receiver 1353 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 1: who you probably would have to trade at that point 1354 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 1: if you make that kind of proclamation or even if 1355 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,639 Speaker 1: you behind the scenes make decisions that say as, much 1356 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 1: even if you do not have that kind of on 1357 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:49,679 Speaker 1: the record. Proclamation and, NO i don't think you should 1358 01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,600 Speaker 1: give up on. McCarthy i. DON'T i think that'd be. 1359 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: FOOLISH i think you have to play it out and 1360 01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,320 Speaker 1: continue to give him a. CHANCE i just don't think 1361 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:04,559 Speaker 1: you can afford any longer to pretend that you know 1362 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 1: he's the, guy or that you can even count on 1363 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: him being the, guy because you just can't stay on the. 1364 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:11,960 Speaker 2: Field you have to. 1365 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,240 Speaker 1: Hedge you've got to hedge your, bet which apparently is 1366 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 1: what they wanted to do last, year but they were 1367 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,559 Speaker 1: unable to Keep Daniel. Jones so, NO i wouldn't give 1368 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: up on. Him we've seen players. Emerge the issue remains 1369 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,280 Speaker 1: that they want to be they want to compete right. 1370 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 1: Now maybe that's where they're kidding, themselves and then that's 1371 01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 1: where maybe you end up deciding to go a very different. 1372 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Direction six one two guy Rights Christian ponder is only 1373 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 1: thirty seven. 1374 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 2: Man that would be a hell of a, story would. 1375 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,759 Speaker 1: It not looking for or bringing in a veteran quarterback 1376 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:54,360 Speaker 1: to starting cheer for The vikings is a flat out 1377 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,800 Speaker 1: bailout of Koc it. Is that's BECAUSE i, said when 1378 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: it comes to the, quarterback his fingerprints around this every 1379 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 1: bit as much As quazy draft Is quazies and it's 1380 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 1: a problem and that's ultimately why they made them move. 1381 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 2: Clearly but the quarterback absolutely shared a. 1382 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: Responsibility not a lot of appetite for, cousins according to the, 1383 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,640 Speaker 1: Textures AND i kind of understand that there's that feeling that. 1384 01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 2: We've been, there we're going. 1385 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,920 Speaker 1: Backwards let's find some other veteran THAT i can get used. 1386 01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 1: To thank you for, Watching thank you for. Listening worst case, 1387 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 1: scenario what ninety minute? 1388 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:25,680 Speaker 2: Edition is that? 1389 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: Correct that's, correct that's coming up Super Bowl action on The. 1390 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: Fan we're back to review all of it.
