So this is your first chance to 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: get it going on the highly exalted Emmy Award winning 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: Top five at five. 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 3: And we'll start with one of Ben Leeber's former coaches, 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: the guy he calls Mike t Mike Tomlin was Ben's 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 3: defensive coordinator for one single season. I think it was 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 3: Ben's first year here as well. Tomlin was the defensive 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 3: coordinator here. He was a defensive backs coach for Tony 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 3: Dungee in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay, Brad Schilders hired him, 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 3: kept him for a year, and since then he's been 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. That ended today 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: he has stepped down as the Steelers head coach, ending 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: a nineteen year run which he never had a losing season, 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 3: won to one Super Bowl hasn't won a playoff game 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 3: in a while, including last night's thirty to six loss 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: to the Texans in the AFC Wildcard Round. This is 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: Art Rooney the Second. If you're a Rooney, you go 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: with the second. You don't go Junior Art Rooney the second. 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: During our meeting today, coach Tomlin inform me he has 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 3: decided to step down as our head coach. Obviously, I'm 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: extremely grateful to Mike for all the hard work, dedication, 30 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: and success we have shared over the last nineteen years. 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: Thirteen playoff appearances, eight division titles, no losing seasons, as 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: you mentioned earlier, in a single Super Bowl title. 33 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: The Steelers will pick their fourth head coach since nineteen eight. 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: Since nineteen sixty nine, think about it, nineteen sixty nine 35 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine, they've had three coaches. Chefty is indicating 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: it is his belief, on the basis of his sources, 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: that it is unlike that Tomlin will coach anywhere in 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. That was one of my open questions. 39 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: Maybe you know, he's burned out. Maybe he's already got 40 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: a TV offer that he can't refuse, so he gets 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: the best of both worlds. He can stay in it 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: and yet not have to, you know, do the heavy 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: duty and heavy lifting of being a head coach. So 44 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: that would take one very highly regarded coaching candidate off 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: the table for the well eight other positions. With the 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: Steelers position, there'd be nine total, because I have to 47 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: believe Tomlin would be coveted elsewhileiftime he made himself available, 48 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: Harbaugh said, I'm in. I'm gonna end up somewhere. He's 49 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: met with the Giants already, at least here formerly. So 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: but it looks like Tomlin's gonna gonna be on the 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: sidelines or on TV or both. 52 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: So the Steelers season ended last night with a loss 53 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: to the Texans. As we mentioned, the Viking season ended 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: after they beat Green Bay a week and a half ago. 55 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell and Quasy Adolpha Mensa met the media to 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: alec Lewis will join about thirty minutes from now to 57 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: react to some of the things that they said, and 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: they had to react to the news that Vikings wide 59 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: receiver Jordan Addison was arrested early this morning, I should 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: say early Monday morning, in charge with a misdemeanor in 61 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Tampa Bay according to police records. 62 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: Let me scroll down on the Kevin Seafert story. 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: According to Hillsboro County Sheriff's records, Addison was arrested at 64 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: three forty six am Eastern on Monday at an address 65 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: associated with the Seminal hard Rock Hotel and Casino. He 66 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: was booked in jail at seven thirty three charged with 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: trespass in an occupied structure or conveyance, which is a 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: first degree misdemeanor. He had paid a five hundred dollars bond. 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: He was released yesterday afternoon. 70 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: So it sounds like he was either trying to get 71 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: in when they were already shut down or when he'd 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: been told to leave. 73 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: I would think when he had been told to leave, 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: because casino's never really shut down. 75 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: That's true. That's a good point. So we'll hopefully learn 76 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: a little bit more about the story so far, Aren't 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: the vikings faithful going with the We got to get 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: more information before we comment on it. There wasn't much 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: direct comment today, was there. We'll ask Alec Lewis at 80 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: about twenty five minutes it was basically Koc said, I 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: just found out about it. Yeah, very very recently. 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 3: We're going to try to collect all the information here, 83 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: Crazy said, We'll continue to fact find see what actually 84 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: happened to them. We'll have those conversations in the future. 85 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: Addison's agency on X says on Jordan's behalf, his legal 86 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: team has already initiated the investigation, identified witnesses and we're 87 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: reviewing the viability of a claim for false arrest. He 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: we are confident mister Addison will be exonerate. 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: I should follow up with a subject we discussed much 91 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: earlier in this show. It appears that the number one 92 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: reason why the Vikings postponed the original date of Vikings 93 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: vetting day, when the head coach and the general manager 94 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: meet the media after the season, was because of a 95 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: belief that, given the ice shooting that took place, we 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: just are going to stay out of the way of 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: everything and give everybody a chance to concentrate on that, 98 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: and we will wait until next week. Little did they 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: know that any day they picked, they were still probably 100 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: messing with the news, the A section news today, because 101 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: every day there's another piece of major news from the 102 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: A Section. Timberwolves are back in action. 103 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: Tonight, a game you can hear on the Timberwolves channel 104 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 3: of your iHeartRadio app. There in the four seed right 105 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: now in the Western Conference playoff race, a game and 106 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: a half clear of the Lakers, who have lost three 107 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: in a row. By the way, they are half game 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: back of the Nuggets after beating the San Antonio Spurs. 109 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: Davy a couple of nights ago. The hero that night 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: was Anthony Edwards. He will not play tonight. 111 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: He is listed as out on the official injury report 112 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 2: right foot injury to somebody else out too, Rudy Gobert 113 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: because he's suspended, good point because of the flagrant bit. Yeah, 114 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: that's right. So it's the Bucks on the road. I'll 115 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: be curious to see who we go with and any 116 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: if any of the kids use the take the opportunity 117 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: to make their mark, which would be nice, and maybe 118 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: we see a little bit of him. Yeah, that's very 119 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: very true, Davy, that's possible. How is Denver without Jokers 120 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: still in front of us in the standings? I know 121 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: it's not by a lot. Yeah, half game, half game 122 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: and they've actually lost college so much longer in the 123 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: Joker out at another at least a couple of weeks and 124 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: then they're gonna be one of those deals. But then 125 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: they re examined. 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 3: It was about a month, right was the expectation, and 127 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: he was hurt maybe a week and a half ago. 128 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: Two weeks. Yeah, I get all my days, even though 129 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: it's mid January. Now I get all my days. Confused. 130 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: Do the Bucks fans also stand until their team scores 131 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: or is that just us? I don't know. 132 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: That was funny the other night when it was sixteen 133 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: zero on, everybody still standing. 134 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: Well, that's all your your guy's fault, D'Angelo Russell's fault. Hey, 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: why anybody? He turned that place into a house. He 136 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: had nothing to do. He had a lot to do 137 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 2: with it. I do not accept that. Pre I admit 138 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: I have a bias against him, I'll grant you. I 139 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 2: don't think he had anything to do with it at all. 140 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: I think the team had more to do with than 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: they hated. But anyway, and by the way, how's he 142 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: doing for Dallas? Does he ever play? Is he hurt? 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 3: I don't watch a lot of Dallas. Anthony Davis has 144 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: hurt for like the rest of the season. 145 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: Streat close. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. This 146 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: has some news on it. I was gonna pull it 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: up here quickly, see if I can find it. I thought, 148 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: here we go. This is via something called hoops Central. 149 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: His season's over. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, here's hoop Central. 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis's injury history says joining Joining Dallas, now that 151 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: was just like halfway through last season, right, it was 152 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: less than a year. A year ago. It was late 153 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: January when he was traded to Dallas. Now, we were 154 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: gonna have to extend the top five and five to 155 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: get this all in. One eight twenty six, hand twelve 156 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty five, groin twelve nineteen twenty five, illness 157 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: twelve fourteen twenty five, calf eleven twenty nine, twenty five, 158 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: calf eleven eleven twenty five, calf ten nine to twenty five, 159 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: leg ten twenty eight, twenty five, Achilles four seventeen to 160 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: twenty five, groin for twelve twenty five, abductor four ten 161 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: twenty five, groin for eight twenty five, groin for three 162 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: to twenty five, abductor for one twenty five, groin three 163 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: eight twenty five, groin three twenty eight, twenty five. I 164 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: should say groin three twenty five, twenty five, five two 165 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: eight twenty five abductor and two seven twenty five abdomen. 166 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: That's almost absurd.

SHOWS i think one of them 372 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: the other day was AN npr program and suggesting, allegedly 373 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: presumably with a straight, face that there is no, evidence 374 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: there is no evidence to suggest that any advantage can 375 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 2: be found competitively speaking for men over women in competitive. 376 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 2: SPORT i don't know what you do with. THAT i 377 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: don't know how you take it. SERIOUSLY i don't know 378 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: how you don't view it as you're taking a position 379 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: for the sake of protecting a position that you think 380 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: you're obligated to. Accept AND i don't know anything about 381 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: the specifics of this case from a legal. Standpoint there 382 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: may be legal technicalities about what exactly they are examining 383 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 2: and looking. At BUT i don't disagree with what The 384 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: Washington post editorial board is laying out BECAUSE i do 385 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: think there is AND i think it has been proven 386 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 2: over and over, again leaving aside the logic of, it 387 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 2: just sort of the eye test of it that there 388 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: is an, advantage and the notion the COMEBACK i always 389 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: get when we go down this road is point six 390 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 2: percent whatever are transgender. Athletes it doesn't matter if there 391 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 2: was one and by the, way Internationally United nations has 392 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: had some studies indicating surprisingly how often individuals have taken 393 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 2: advantage of the, advantage the physiological advantage they, have even 394 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 2: after in some cases using. Blockers so for, me it 395 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: ultimately becomes as uncomfortable as it is because then you're 396 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: doing some. Excluding if there's going to be fairness in 397 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: men's sports and women's, Sports i'm doubling down on The 398 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 2: Washington post editorial. BOARD i agree with them one hundred. 399 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: PERCENT i think, eventually maybe ten years from, now maybe, 400 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: twenty folks are going to look back and, say how 401 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: do we lose our minds on this particular. Subject by the, 402 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 2: way none of this gives any latitude in my view 403 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: for discrimination in. Terms and you could say we are 404 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: discriminating if you're not including. Them, no you're protecting the 405 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: majority from a competitive. Standpoint but none of this means, mock, 406 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: ridicule make fun of and and and get in the 407 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: way of whatever jobs that they're interested, in et, cetera et. Cetera, 408 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 2: No i'm not interested in playing that. GAME i think 409 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: most people have listened to the. Show, no that's. True 410 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: this is a hard. Call but if you're If i'm 411 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 2: being honest and not worrying about who's going to react 412 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: to WHAT i think The Washington post editorial board has 413 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: made the right call on this particular. Subject let's get 414 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: out on that note and come back and chat For 415 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: vikings football With Alec.

Metric 490 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 4: The commander's defense was spirally by the end of the. 491 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: Season The giants have been a mess for the short, 492 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 4: term and The packers didn't play their, start so that 493 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 4: evaluation was not comprehensive enough to lead you to twenty 494 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 4: twenty six and Having jaj McCarthy as a starter and 495 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 4: having any confidence and conviction in the path that he 496 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 4: would provide to make the playoffs and win a playoff, 497 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 4: game which this team hasn't done since twenty. Nineteen SO 498 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 4: i felt like this was their way of going about. 499 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 4: That AND i, mean as you, know, obviously like they tend, 500 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 4: to you, know massage these subjects in their, style and 501 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 4: that's kind of how they do. 502 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: It so what are the odds that when they start 503 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: the process of trying to determine who that veteran quarterback 504 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: might be, right who's, realistic who's, gettable whether it be 505 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: by free agency or by even by. TRADE i guess 506 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: that's also. Possible how frontal do you think they're going 507 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 2: to be willing to be to say to that player 508 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 2: WHAT i don't think they were willing to say To 509 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: Daniel jones when they hoped he was going to come back. 510 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: Here this is an utterly and completely open. Competition we 511 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: know we DRAFTED, jj we know he's our, guy or you, 512 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: know you could think he's our, guy but you are 513 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: you have every bit as much or will have every 514 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: bit as much of an opportunity to win the. Job 515 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 2: AS jj, McCarthy is that something you think they're capable of, 516 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: saying and if they, don't is that going to limit 517 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: even what the realistic options are of who they might 518 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: be able to. 519 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 4: ATTRACT i definitely think it's something they are capable of saying, 520 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 4: privately and it's just going to be dependent on like 521 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 4: the options that we're talking. ABOUT i think that's the 522 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 4: biggest question for me at this point is like WHAT i, 523 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 4: guess for lack of a better way to, say like 524 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 4: what tax bracket are you? In? Here are? You because 525 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 4: if you are talking about certain quarterbacks like that is 526 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 4: like they would laugh at certain conversations because they are 527 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 4: not entering this building with the idea that they would 528 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 4: be competing for certain. Spots and then if you're talking about, 529 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 4: other you, know qualities of, players whether it Be i'm 530 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: just throwing out names, here whether it's like A Kenny 531 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 4: pickett or A Jimmy garoppolo or certain, guys maybe you'd 532 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 4: be more inclined to need to have those. Conversations and 533 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 4: kind of to the point that you made to the 534 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 4: answer to my first question or to my first, ANSWER 535 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 4: i mean they have not been forward in terms of 536 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 4: the tax. BRACKET i guess that they are going to 537 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 4: be purchasing IN i have said this and it's comes 538 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 4: from information and conversation, Internally LIKE i Don't i'm not 539 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 4: going to take anything off the. Table you said, Trade, 540 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 4: like if there are players to be had in that, 541 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: MARKET i think they are going to pursue that. Aggressively 542 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 4: and then if that cannot be, DONE i think from 543 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 4: a free agency, standpoint that's when you start to have 544 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 4: the conversation like we had last offseason of can you 545 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 4: find a player Like Daniel jones to thread that? Needle 546 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 4: and there are not many of those, guys which then 547 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 4: would lead you down the path of probably having to 548 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 4: be very forward in the conversations that they have. 549 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 2: Privately so can you give, me in your mind a 550 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 2: couple of names that you think aren't just sexy but are, 551 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: realistic BECAUSE i, mean we can all throw out names 552 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: all that'd be, Great but for, Example jones now the 553 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 2: backup In San, FRANCISCO i think that would be would 554 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 2: be fairly appealing as an. Option but is that even? 555 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: Feasible is that is he is he likely to be? 556 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: Traded how much youre gonna have to give? Up give 557 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: me some? Names that you think may not thrill, people but, 558 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: are to use your, term capable of threading that. 559 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: Needle, Yeah I'M i, mean, well the Mac jones name 560 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 4: In San. Francisco he filled in earlier this year For 561 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 4: Rock purty and was pretty, solid and he would be 562 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 4: a clear cut type of candidate that does thread this. 563 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: Needle now you know, this but to acquire, him because 564 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 4: he's under contract for next, season you'd have to give 565 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 4: up draft. Capital and guess what this team needs because 566 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 4: of their lack of draft hits over the last three, 567 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: years they need draft. Capitals so like that, option which 568 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 4: might be the most, sensible it comes with its own. 569 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 4: Offs and then there's also even with Mac, jones let's 570 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 4: say you were to acquire, him there is always the 571 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: potential his agent wants security into the future and how 572 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 4: far are you willing to? Go, so LIKE i, thought 573 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 4: it was interesting today that both Both Koaisio famens And 574 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 4: kevin O'Connell they kept using the phrase we want a 575 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 4: talented and deep quarterback. Room and the THING i kept 576 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 4: thinking about was everybody wants the talented and deep Quarter 577 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 4: it's the most coveted value in professional. Football and if 578 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: it was the need to acquire it would have been 579 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 4: done last year and it'd be easy to do this. 580 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 4: Year and the, challenges like there are just not that 581 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: many paths that you can take to get to that. 582 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 4: Place and it's what makes the gymnastics of what they're 583 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 4: probably going to be about to try to do as 584 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: complex as they. 585 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 2: Are Is malik willis a name that would intrigue. You 586 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: and he's he and if he, is is he a realistic? 587 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 4: Name? YEAH i mean, YES i would say for sure 588 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 4: if you go back and watch the film of what he's. 589 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 4: DONE i mean it's not only some of the flash 590 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 4: plays In Green bay outside of, structure but he has 591 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: shown an ability to play in. Rhythm now he doesn't 592 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 4: throw a lot over the middle of the, field and 593 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: that has been and was really one of the primary 594 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 4: issues of the offense in this, Season like they have 595 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 4: been a very rhythm and, timing throw over the middle 596 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 4: of the field type of, offense and Given jaj McCarthy's 597 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 4: inability to throw over the middlefield consistently this, year like 598 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 4: that that affected the, offense that Affected Justin jefferson's, production 599 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 4: and REALLY i think it was the source of a 600 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 4: lot of stress For kevin O'Connell and the offensive, staff 601 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 4: the fact that they could not access parts of the 602 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 4: area of the field that they have in the. Past 603 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 4: so could would they have faith That Malik willis could do? 604 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 4: THAT i would say it wouldn't surprise me if they. 605 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 4: Did AND i mean the question with, him and the 606 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 4: question with a lot of these players like Kirk, cousins Isn't, 607 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 4: yeah it's, money but it's also there are going to 608 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 4: be other options In, Miami like that is a potential. 609 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 4: Option atlanta might be seeking a quarterback that's a really good. 610 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 4: Option and so complicating the gymnastics of what is going 611 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 4: to be the next few months of seeking a quarterback 612 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 4: that fits the qualifications that The vikings are looking for 613 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 4: is the fact that other teams will be seeking quarterbacks 614 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 4: and they will have situations that are. Attractive and so, 615 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 4: again like, again the Kirk cousin's name is one THAT 616 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 4: i understand and one THAT i don't think should be. 617 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 4: Dismissed but if there is another option that makes sense 618 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 4: for him that he, prefers then then it's going to 619 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 4: complicate what The vikings want to. 620 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 2: DO i would say that the rub is when it 621 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: when it comes to a name Like willis is that 622 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 2: even if The vikings privately declare what we said to 623 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: A Malik willis or to his people saying wide, open 624 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: that's still potentially going to feel a little iffier than 625 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 2: going to a team where literally there is no other 626 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: competition where they're signing. You we're bringing you in to 627 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 2: be our starter. Peer we're invested in you literally and. 628 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 2: Figuratively we believe in, you and it's your job that's 629 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: going to be fairly tough to compete. With because as 630 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 2: long as McCarthy is, here and this IS i think makes, 631 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 2: sense you can't give up on. Him yet he's at 632 00:34:59,320 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: least going to. 633 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 4: Be a, YEAH i think that's exactly. Right and then 634 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: the other aspect is like you have to think about these. 635 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 4: PLAYERS i, MEAN i just Use kirk for, example but 636 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 4: they are going to want to put themselves in the optimal. 637 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 4: Position so if you're A Malik willis to use him 638 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 4: because we're on the, subject does he view another opportunity 639 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 4: and another coaching staff and another system as more suitable 640 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 4: for his skill? Set like that? Is another aspect of 641 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 4: what The vikings are going to be looking for is 642 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 4: they have shown talked about both with actions and words 643 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 4: like what they want their offense to, be and that 644 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 4: is a, downfield explosive passing offense that you, know applies 645 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 4: a lot on the quarterback's plate with a complex system 646 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 4: that has a lot of decision making pre staff and post, 647 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 4: snap and other quarterbacks around the league are going to 648 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 4: know the complexity of that and some will embrace it 649 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 4: and some might. Not but that adds to the laundry 650 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 4: list of dynamics when you're talking about players that fit 651 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 4: what The vikings. 652 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: Are going to be looking. For Alec lewis covers The 653 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: National Football league and The vikings for the athletic joining 654 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: us as we prepare for the top of the show 655 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: or at the end of the show at the top 656 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 2: of the, hour and also prepare for gold and go 657 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 2: for men's basketball coverage right here on the. Flagship where 658 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 2: is The Brian flores story? Headed, Yeah So. 659 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell today when he was asked about, it he 660 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 4: was very confident and forward about the fact that The, 661 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 4: vikings he, said have been very aggressive in trying to 662 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 4: Secure Brian flores as the defensive coordinator of the. Future 663 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,280 Speaker 4: kevin said that they wanted to be supportive In brian 664 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 4: flores pursuit to become a head. Coach But kevin also 665 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 4: reiterated his belief that he said a couple of weeks 666 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 4: ago that he doesn't believe That Brian flores would leave 667 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 4: for a lateral. Position it is my understanding That Brian 668 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 4: flores interviewed today for the head coaching position In. Baltimore 669 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 4: they're gonna have a ton of, candidates and so that 670 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 4: is going to be a very difficult job For Brian, 671 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 4: floura AS i, think to. Acquire it is also my 672 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 4: understanding That Brian flora's contract is supposed to run out this, 673 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 4: week which would open the possibility of him interviewing for 674 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 4: other defensive coordinator positions around THE. Nfl but as far 675 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 4: as where things, stand it's worth asking the question when 676 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 4: he hasn't currently been. Extended But i've said kind of 677 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 4: from the beginning THAT i Expect Brian flores to become 678 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 4: a free, agent see what the market, is talk to 679 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 4: people throughout the, league whether it's The Dallas cowboys or 680 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 4: The Washington, commanders and then decide on his. Future but 681 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 4: his perspective is going to hinge on a lot of different. 682 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 4: Things the money is obviously part of, it but he 683 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 4: also probably wants to be in a situation where he 684 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 4: feels like the team has a really good chance to 685 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 4: win and be in the spotlight come at the end 686 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 4: of the season so he can prove his salt and 687 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 4: petition to become a head. Coach and The vikings quarterback 688 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 4: uncertainty plays a role into all of. This so it's, 689 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 4: fluid but the fact it hasn't happened yet in terms 690 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 4: of an extension makes the conversation still worth. 691 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: Well iron, me it sounds like you almost you probably 692 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 2: just answered my next, question which is WHAT i was 693 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 2: about to, ask was what would it tell you if 694 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 2: he ends up taking a coordinator's job? Elsewhere and it sounds, like, 695 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 2: well The mike tell us that as much as he 696 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: says he's liked it, here he's had a lot of 697 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: power and a lot of authority and a lot of, 698 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 2: success he might start factoring in what he thinks, about 699 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 2: as you, say the chances of the team, winning not 700 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 2: the defense doing, well but the team. Winning and maybe 701 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: that says something about his own concern a little bit 702 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 2: regarding the direction the, whole the open endedness to the 703 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 2: quarterback situation right. 704 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 4: Now, Yeah AND i wrote this last.
