WEBVTT - Wolves Win! Common Man Hour 1 0:00:02.310 --> 0:00:06.550 Common Man, Common Man, no show pep, no solid plan. 0:00:06.870 --> 0:00:08.170 Stems of yarn, we. 0:00:08.070 --> 0:00:08.830 Can't sit down. 0:00:09.070 --> 0:00:13.090 The esoteric approach won't fail. Tune in, it's time for 0:00:13.110 --> 0:00:19.630 Common Man. Common Man, Common Man, charge the housewives. 0:00:19.190 --> 0:00:20.110 Like no one can. 0:00:20.430 --> 0:00:21.170 What'd you shoot? 0:00:21.550 --> 0:00:24.590 Where'd we play? Non-stop nonsense on deck today. 0:00:24.710 --> 0:00:30.630 Tune in, it's time for Common Man. Oh, boy! 0:00:30.650 --> 0:00:34.809 Why should anybody aspire to be a common man, an 0:00:34.909 --> 0:00:36.990 average man? Do you realize what it means to be average? 0:00:37.810 --> 0:00:41.020 That means you're the best of the lousiest. And the 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.140 lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand more and 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.239 more for producing less and less, while the have-not nations 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:52.690 encourage and inspire and indeed require hard work and maximum effort, 0:00:52.780 --> 0:00:55.970 if we deify the common men while they encourage and 0:00:56.030 --> 0:00:59.760 reward the uncommon ones... Well, the end result of such 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.980 a lopsided race is that it's too obvious to require elaboration. 0:01:03.060 --> 0:01:04.180 I mean, it's like, hello? 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:04.860 You like that? 0:01:04.900 --> 0:01:05.420 You like that? 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.200 You know, sometimes when you practice, you'll set up chairs. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.000 You know, and you run through chairs. 0:01:10.900 --> 0:01:13.540 Just to show zones and stuff. The Viking defense. 0:01:13.180 --> 0:01:27.200 Looks like it's chairs. All the defensive backs covering are 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:55.690 just atrocious today for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, I always 0:01:55.730 --> 0:01:58.910 loved that one. This is not Detroit, man. 0:01:58.930 --> 0:02:00.070 This is the Super Bowl. 0:02:00.270 --> 0:02:03.950 Cam Dantzler, what are you doing? You're breaking up, Bob. 0:02:04.790 --> 0:02:06.190 You're breaking up. 0:02:06.790 --> 0:02:11.450 Boy, how disappointing is that? 0:02:12.389 --> 0:02:20.030 We're the state of hockey, and I think that proves it, so. 0:02:20.090 --> 0:02:24.220 Yes! And he's lost! I've seen enough out of Cousins, Paul. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:24.900 Put him on ice. 0:02:25.540 --> 0:02:30.140 I'm going to say something about Cousins. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.080 That's interesting. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.850 Time for two more questions, guys. 0:02:34.090 --> 0:02:36.770 Super Bowl homeboy. 0:02:36.830 --> 0:02:51.540 Minnesota is so hot. I didn't like the way we 0:02:51.580 --> 0:02:53.460 were playing this act, so I just told him, hey, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.700 you're going to live and die with me. Don't nobody 0:02:55.740 --> 0:02:58.150 like it. Sit your ass down right here. Don't come 0:02:58.190 --> 0:02:58.510 out here. 0:02:58.770 --> 0:02:59.210 We coming to you. 0:02:59.290 --> 0:03:01.260 You know, that's why I like Sam to come in. 0:03:01.270 --> 0:03:03.250 You know, I let them do their thing for three quarters. 0:03:03.750 --> 0:03:05.529 Come fourth quarter, bring it to the table. 0:03:10.910 --> 0:03:16.590 He's the clown from Brown. He's the fourth in the North. 0:03:16.910 --> 0:03:21.420 This is the common man, Dan Cole. 0:03:22.580 --> 0:03:25.359 Testing one, two, three. And the grum begins at five. Well, actually, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.080 three to five sounds like more than four. Greens, good afternoon. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:33.500 Parade routes in the planning. Three Minnesota professional sports teams 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.830 are all in first place, rocketing towards world championships. Meanwhile, 0:03:38.850 --> 0:03:42.030 the World Series gets underway on Friday. Friday. Minnesota Golden 0:03:42.070 --> 0:03:48.410 Gophers play for the bronzed Liberty Bell or Axe or 0:03:48.450 --> 0:03:51.200 something like that. They take on the Iowa Hawkeyes at 0:03:51.260 --> 0:03:55.720 Huntington Bank. It is a big one. And the Chicago 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.300 Bears play a Monday night football game on a Thursday night. 0:03:59.340 --> 0:04:01.480 With all of that happening, I'm not sure where to begin. 0:04:01.540 --> 0:04:04.060 Why don't we spin the Wheel of Topics? 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.540 Wheel of Topics! 0:04:07.950 --> 0:04:10.110 Oh, and AstroTregor calls his 500th game. 0:04:13.670 --> 0:04:24.279 What did you shoot today? 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.200 85. Where'd we play? Presswick had Wedgewood and Woodbury. Where'd 0:04:28.220 --> 0:04:30.140 you hit it on? One. Right up the gut. How 0:04:30.180 --> 0:04:32.700 far from the green? I had to the pin. I 0:04:32.750 --> 0:04:34.750 had about, it was a back pin. I had about 143, 0:04:34.750 --> 0:04:40.420 I think. Second shot? I sculled an iron short of 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.620 the green. Then what? I hit a kind of a 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.900 sloppy wedge onto the green. Well, there's that. Then what? 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.920 I did make the putt. I shot 39 in the 0:04:49.980 --> 0:04:53.960 front and then shot 46 on the back. So these 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.140 are my scores this week. Monday, loggers 80. Tuesday, 95 0:04:59.140 --> 0:05:03.880 at loggers. 91 yesterday at the wick. And then today, 85. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.080 I'm trending in the right direction. I don't think I'll 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.620 ever break 80 again. I'm at the point where you've 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.240 heard me say this to me when the golf God 0:05:13.300 --> 0:05:15.540 whispers in my ear, I'll never break 80 again. That's 0:05:15.580 --> 0:05:18.420 when I stopped playing. And I know there's really not 0:05:18.460 --> 0:05:23.760 a golf God. I guess what, what I'm trying to 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.060 say is that I'll event you'll just, you'll know. It's 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:31.600 like they asked Bernhard longer. They said at Augusta, they, 0:05:31.860 --> 0:05:34.120 you know, two time champions where you get to you, 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.120 you have, you privileges, you can play in the masters 0:05:36.180 --> 0:05:39.860 every year, right? And he goes, well, he goes, when 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.480 should I stop showing up to play? And they just said, 0:05:43.580 --> 0:05:47.640 you'll know. And he knew. I think last year or 0:05:47.660 --> 0:05:49.320 the year before was his last year. He knew. That 0:05:49.339 --> 0:05:53.760 was it. The kids are hitting eights and nine irons 0:05:53.810 --> 0:05:56.289 into the greens, and I'm hitting hybrids. It's time to 0:05:56.370 --> 0:06:00.410 step aside. And It's not the golf god whispering in 0:06:00.450 --> 0:06:03.710 my ear. It's my gadfly sense tingling that's telling me 0:06:04.250 --> 0:06:06.240 it's just about there. I don't know what I'm going 0:06:06.250 --> 0:06:07.880 to do. I was going to say, what other hobbies 0:06:07.900 --> 0:06:16.000 do you have? Ripping people. Wet blanketing the local sports teams. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.500 That's actually my work. It's not even a hobby. I 0:06:18.540 --> 0:06:22.640 don't know. I don't know what I would do. If 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:24.040 you were to retire. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.200 And you also had stopped playing golf. 0:06:27.300 --> 0:06:28.860 What would you do with your life? I don't know 0:06:28.900 --> 0:06:32.150 what I would do. That's the thing. Maybe I would 0:06:32.190 --> 0:06:34.610 just curl up in the fetal position and crawl under 0:06:34.650 --> 0:06:38.490 my bed. Just wait to die. I don't know. I mean, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.640 I don't like bowling. I could have waited for the 0:06:45.860 --> 0:06:47.740 lanes to open up at 10 o'clock in the morning, 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.300 then go bowl, and then this relentless pursuit. And the 0:06:50.339 --> 0:06:53.590 thing is, I've shot even par before, so that's like, 0:06:53.630 --> 0:06:56.270 you know, par for the course. I know I could 0:06:56.330 --> 0:06:59.290 never throw a 300 game, so why would I be 0:06:59.330 --> 0:07:02.630 going out there? I mean, I did... How often have 0:07:02.650 --> 0:07:05.190 you bowled in your life? Hundreds or a few? No, 0:07:05.230 --> 0:07:07.770 definitely not hundreds. Dozens? Yeah, dozens of times for me, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.320 maybe a bit more than that, but dozens. I one time... 0:07:11.970 --> 0:07:14.610 broke 200. I shot like a 213. I mean, it 0:07:14.630 --> 0:07:16.770 was just one of those, just lucky, right? You know, 0:07:16.790 --> 0:07:19.910 just like the days that, you know, I had, put 0:07:19.930 --> 0:07:22.430 it this way, that one day I had an experience 0:07:22.450 --> 0:07:27.060 that was not unlike a professional bowler association, a PBA bowler. 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:34.380 I mean, I was making strikes, just bam, strike, bam, strike, bam, strike, nine, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.100 pick up the spare. It was fun, but I was 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.930 never able to duplicate that. What do you think you 0:07:39.970 --> 0:07:42.230 would roll right now if you went out, no warm-ups, 0:07:42.250 --> 0:07:45.060 just you and I went to Blainebrook Bowl. We went 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:49.340 to the old Beacon Bowl in Brooklyn Center and decided 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.800 to go bowl. What do you think you would throw? 0:07:50.860 --> 0:07:52.500 I mean, I've barely bowled as an adult. 0:07:52.620 --> 0:07:52.860 Right. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:58.080 Probably bowl like a 130. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.060 Should we do it for digital, digital, digital? Livestream it? 0:08:01.300 --> 0:08:04.420 We could live stream it. Because I'm thinking 130 would 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.340 be my best, too. I think you and I could 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.620 have a real battle. We would just keep battling and 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:18.050 battling and bowling and bowling. Yeah, so I don't know. 0:08:18.070 --> 0:08:25.200 I mean, I know what your post is. career and 0:08:25.260 --> 0:08:28.540 post-golf hobby is going to be. What is it? Please 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.319 tell me. By the time that comes around, you'll have grandkids. Grandkids. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.000 You'll be spending time with the grandkids. That would be fun. 0:08:37.020 --> 0:08:40.380 I would like that. I remember when my brother had 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:46.219 his children, Alex Jr., Adam, and Travis. My brother had 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.079 his children when he was very young. My brother was, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:53.470 I think, 23 when junior was born and they're all 0:08:53.510 --> 0:08:54.150 two years apart. 0:08:54.210 --> 0:08:54.410 Right. 0:08:56.070 --> 0:09:00.230 And they were, they're all born like in a 10 0:09:00.230 --> 0:09:02.320 day span, two years apart. Like they're all got like 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.880 late August, early September birthdays. 0:09:03.940 --> 0:09:04.120 Right. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.380 So my brother will call him up. Yeah. Well, he'll 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.840 just call him up. I mean, go, I think your 0:09:09.860 --> 0:09:11.810 birthday's coming up. I just don't know which day it is. 0:09:11.860 --> 0:09:13.320 I don't remember anymore. I just want to call you. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:18.290 So happy birthday. But I used to be the goofy uncle. 0:09:18.370 --> 0:09:19.589 I would go over and pick up the boys, and 0:09:19.650 --> 0:09:21.729 I would take them, and we would do all sorts 0:09:21.770 --> 0:09:24.130 of fun stuff. Do this, do that. One of the 0:09:24.150 --> 0:09:26.839 things we used to do, because this was before video games, 0:09:26.900 --> 0:09:29.800 and we ain't got a lot of money. We would 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.460 go down to the railroad tracks and just walk the 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:37.820 tracks and pick up railroad spikes. In my brother's garage, 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.950 we had enough railroad spikes to lay track from Coon 0:09:40.990 --> 0:09:44.079 Rapids to Anoka. Because we would just collect for whatever reason, 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.819 because they're just tossed to the side once they replace them. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.100 They don't keep them. They just toss them to the side. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.490 So we would collect railroad, railroad, railroad. It's hard to say. 0:09:52.770 --> 0:09:54.610 But what the beauty of it is, is so that 0:09:54.770 --> 0:09:56.589 I would get, I would wear the kids out and 0:09:56.610 --> 0:09:59.179 then drop them off at home. And then yeah i 0:09:59.220 --> 0:09:59.559 didn't have. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.500 To deal with the the meltdowns yeah the meltdowns. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.540 And all that kind of things too so it's kind 0:10:03.580 --> 0:10:05.540 of um the good life you know what i could 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:13.380 do i could become a dog walker you know i 0:10:13.650 --> 0:10:16.570 could go i could go have you seen that there's 0:10:16.610 --> 0:10:24.260 already now a uh There's a Twitter handle of Bear 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.220 the Dog. Poor dog. It's out there already. 11 years old, 0:10:28.260 --> 0:10:28.860 doesn't have a home. 0:10:28.900 --> 0:10:29.160 Yes. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.310 Has a connection with Rosen, but he won't take him in. Yeah. Well, then, 0:10:34.350 --> 0:10:36.570 in all honesty, you know that the first day it's 0:10:36.610 --> 0:10:40.360 like 22 degrees. He'll never go take that dog. It's 0:10:40.380 --> 0:10:41.970 sort of like, remember when he was going to go golfing? 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.270 You know, I joined the Golden Valley Country Club and 0:10:44.290 --> 0:10:46.170 I'm going to start golfing. And I burst out laughing 0:10:46.230 --> 0:10:47.870 and he got mad at me. What are you laughing about? 0:10:48.070 --> 0:10:50.330 You're not going to start golfing. Yes, I am. No, 0:10:50.370 --> 0:10:52.470 you're not. Yes, you are. I said, Mark, I know you. 0:10:52.530 --> 0:10:54.199 You're not going to start golfing. I know what it 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.260 takes to golf. And I had people texting me. You 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.280 leave Mark alone. You let Mark do what he wants. Well, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.979 I will. But guess what? He played nine holes, and 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.880 that's it. Then he gave up the membership. You were right. Yeah, 0:11:05.940 --> 0:11:08.120 I was right. Well, I knew it. And I guarantee you, 0:11:08.500 --> 0:11:11.760 the day the temperature drops below 40, he stops walking bears. 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.630 Poor bear. He won't have a friend anymore. He'll probably 0:11:14.710 --> 0:11:17.350 die of loneliness and of obesity because he won't be 0:11:17.410 --> 0:11:18.850 walking anymore. I don't even think it's the weather. 0:11:18.870 --> 0:11:21.309 I think he'll just get disinterested in it after a 0:11:21.330 --> 0:11:21.750 couple times. 0:11:21.770 --> 0:11:27.959 That's true.

Weekdays at noon 0:11:51.210 --> 0:11:51.829 on The Fan. 0:11:52.730 --> 0:11:55.310 From the 1-800-ASK-GARY Traffic Center. 0:11:55.510 --> 0:11:58.750 This report is sponsored by Gens Ryan Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, 0:11:58.770 --> 0:11:59.429 and Electrical. 0:11:59.490 --> 0:12:01.709 There's a stall on southbound Highway 100, and the right 0:12:01.730 --> 0:12:05.130 shoulder just passed the westbound Highway 7 exit ramp. It's 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.780 not causing any issues out of the way. Traffic levels 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:08.979 are light all across the meadow. 0:12:11.020 --> 0:12:11.260 Hello? 0:12:12.660 --> 0:12:16.260 The music's not going. Computer's frozen. There we go. There 0:12:16.300 --> 0:12:16.600 we go. 0:12:17.059 --> 0:12:18.520 Hey, want to chime in on what's happening with your 0:12:18.540 --> 0:12:21.340 favorite KFM program? Make your voice heard on the Bradshaw 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.400 and Bryan text line. Let us know what you have 0:12:23.420 --> 0:12:26.960 to say by texting your message to 64686. That's 64686, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.800 standard message and data rate supply. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.300 I was trying to track down Nordo. I think he 0:12:32.340 --> 0:12:34.370 left for the day. I think he split exit stage 0:12:34.490 --> 0:12:37.730 left because, you know, he'll do the occasional parody song 0:12:37.770 --> 0:12:42.410 like Chris Hockey's done for us. You know, Nash is 0:12:42.450 --> 0:12:45.410 celebrating his 500th Vikings game, the call of his 500th 0:12:45.470 --> 0:12:47.380 Vikings game. I don't know if you've heard about that 0:12:47.390 --> 0:12:49.179 because I don't think there's been much discussion about it. 0:12:50.110 --> 0:12:51.770 which is kind of odd. You would think we would 0:12:51.870 --> 0:12:54.650 trumpet something like that. Pardon the pun. You'd want to 0:12:54.670 --> 0:12:58.079 blow somebody's horn. Uh, but I thought he could do it. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.800 There's an old, um, like folk song. I don't remember 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.200 who did it, but it was like back in the 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.920 sixties and the song was called 500 miles. And it 0:13:05.940 --> 0:13:12.220 goes like 500 miles, 500 miles, 500, 500 games. I 0:13:12.380 --> 0:13:15.110 just thought it'd be really funny. There was also a, 0:13:15.850 --> 0:13:21.130 a song in the 1990s. Okay. By, uh, Tupac? What 0:13:21.150 --> 0:13:22.809 was the name of that? It was like a one-hit wonder. 0:13:24.090 --> 0:13:26.410 The Proclaimers. Where they go, I. 0:13:26.390 --> 0:13:31.080 Would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more. 0:13:32.140 --> 0:13:34.079 Maybe that's the same song and it was just a reboot. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.040 I don't know, but I like it. I would call 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:44.030 500 more games. Why have we heard more about it? Now, 0:13:44.070 --> 0:13:48.350 someone did send me a text message not too terribly 0:13:48.450 --> 0:13:52.510 long ago here to the Brad, Sean, Bryant. Oh, gosh 0:13:52.750 --> 0:13:58.060 darn it. To the Brad, Sean, Bryant KFA and text 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.140 line that says, I just had to listen to a 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.719 man verbally slap himself on the back for three hours. 0:14:03.780 --> 0:14:06.130 So it's safe to say it's refreshing to hear something original. 0:14:06.550 --> 0:14:09.070 You don't even like talking about yourself or using yourself 0:14:09.110 --> 0:14:12.010 as an example. And I love the new material. Anyway, 0:14:12.070 --> 0:14:16.780 how was your golf game? Now see, that's That's a 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.640 cheap shot he's actually doing. It starts out like he's 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.970 complimenting me, and then he takes a cheap shot at 0:14:21.990 --> 0:14:24.030 the very end. And I'm not appreciative of that because 0:14:24.070 --> 0:14:27.510 I would never blindside somebody with a cheap shot. Peek 0:14:27.550 --> 0:14:29.230 at the Purple brought to you by our friends at 0:14:29.370 --> 0:14:35.650 Affordable Electric. October for haunted houses, scary movies, and things 0:14:35.690 --> 0:14:38.410 that go bump in the night. Flickering lights, tripping breakers, 0:14:38.450 --> 0:14:43.340 and outlets that suddenly stop working. That's scary and spooky. 0:14:44.140 --> 0:14:46.970 Leave the scares to Halloween.

Remember, Affordable Electric is, is, I had 0:15:02.270 --> 0:15:05.830 you there, didn't I? Shockingly affordable. Now, here's one of 0:15:05.870 --> 0:15:08.510 those stories to me, even I don't think I've ever 0:15:08.550 --> 0:15:13.250 gone to this point. This is one of those Stories 0:15:13.310 --> 0:15:15.450 made up out of thin air, and then the guy 0:15:15.470 --> 0:15:17.290 just basically says this didn't make any sense to do 0:15:17.310 --> 0:15:19.930 this in the first place. It's CBS Sports. They're famous 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.979 for lists, right? Should Vikings trade for Justin Herbert? Making 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:29.800 the case for and against potential blockbuster deal. After... Doing, 0:15:29.830 --> 0:15:31.650 you know, why you would want to do it because, 0:15:31.670 --> 0:15:34.610 you know, we have a ready-made defense. We have a 0:15:34.690 --> 0:15:37.290 big game championship defense, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And Herbert, 0:15:37.350 --> 0:15:40.030 you know, he's got all the potential in the world. 0:15:40.490 --> 0:15:42.390 Then at the very end, final verdict, no, the Vikings 0:15:42.410 --> 0:15:44.770 should not try to acquire Herbert by the trade deadline. 0:15:44.830 --> 0:15:47.950 It's too messy and not worth Minnesota jeopardizing their current 0:15:47.990 --> 0:15:51.600 championship prospects. I had not heard anybody talk about trading 0:15:51.620 --> 0:15:55.260 for Herbert. And I get it. You're in the business 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.900 of filling space, right? Clickbait. 0:15:58.940 --> 0:15:59.320 Yeah. 0:15:59.420 --> 0:16:03.360 We're in the business of filling airtime. And so he goes, 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.040 let's see, what can I do? Why don't I talk 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.180 about trading for Justin Herbert? And I wouldn't either. I mean, 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:10.619 it doesn't make any sense to me. You got to 0:16:10.660 --> 0:16:12.580 run with what you have now. It's fine. We're 5-0. 0:16:12.660 --> 0:16:15.060 Let's just see how it works. You know, maybe that's... 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.270 I mean, if you were 5-0 and we were.... 0:16:18.140 --> 0:16:22.420 Getting like Max Brosmer, J.J. McCarthy quarterback play from last year. 0:16:22.540 --> 0:16:22.760 Right. 0:16:23.100 --> 0:16:25.780 And not that Kyler Murray has been a huge upgrade 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.220 to this point. But, you know, he was hurt. You've 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:31.800 done all the training camp with him. Like, you give 0:16:31.820 --> 0:16:32.620 him a couple more games. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:32.880 Yeah. 0:16:32.900 --> 0:16:36.230 But I think if a Justin Herbert trade were to happen, 0:16:36.250 --> 0:16:37.590 that's an offseason thing. 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:37.900 Yes. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:39.229 I tend to agree. 0:16:39.250 --> 0:16:40.810 Because even him, like, if he comes here and just 0:16:40.850 --> 0:16:42.530 has to pick up the offense in the middle of 0:16:42.550 --> 0:16:43.970 the season, I can't imagine that would be easy. 0:16:44.250 --> 0:16:47.430 Pick up the pieces. Uh-huh. Or he'd be successful at it. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.780 Can you give me a pick up the pieces? Uh-huh, 0:16:51.020 --> 0:16:54.430 pick up the pieces. So now there's, okay, this is, 0:16:56.010 --> 0:16:57.570 did you know there was history made in the National 0:16:57.590 --> 0:17:02.750 Football League, Tenneby? Right now, something that's never happened before 0:17:02.770 --> 0:17:04.170 in the history of the National Football League, and it 0:17:04.190 --> 0:17:08.100 involves your soon-to-be big game world champion, Minnesota Vikings. This 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.979 is the first time ever in the National Football League 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.460 that two divisions have every team with a winning record 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:23.800 through week six. It's never happened before. AFC North. Browns, Steelers, 0:17:23.900 --> 0:17:30.710 Ravens are all 4-2. Bungles are 3-2. NFC North, Vikings 5-0. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.320 Green Bay and Chicago 4-2. The Lions 3-2. It's never 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.720 happened through six weeks that two divisions have all four 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:40.640 teams with a winning record. 0:17:42.500 --> 0:17:44.810 And what's weird about it is I don't think of 0:17:44.830 --> 0:17:46.290 the AFC North as some great division. 0:17:46.390 --> 0:17:49.449 No, absolutely not, particularly going into the season. I mean, 0:17:49.470 --> 0:17:51.310 I think everybody thought, well, the Bengals could rebound if 0:17:51.330 --> 0:17:54.149 they ever get their defense figured out. And the Ravens 0:17:54.190 --> 0:17:54.790 are the Ravens. 0:17:54.810 --> 0:17:57.370 The Ravens, if Lamar's healthy, and apparently he is practicing 0:17:57.390 --> 0:17:59.190 today for the first time, so that's encouraging news for them. 0:17:59.380 --> 0:18:01.500 But also, maybe a couple of questions for us, because 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.200 they had a new coach. You never know how they 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:08.439 adjusted with the John Harbaugh era over here. But here 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.500 we are. And the Browns, everybody thought the Browns would 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.060 be a terrible team, and they still could revert to 0:18:12.100 --> 0:18:13.560 being a terrible team and a terrible city with terrible 0:18:13.580 --> 0:18:16.940 fans and a terrible stadium. So two divisions that have 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.440 teams of winning records. Regardless of what happens in tonight's... 0:18:22.070 --> 0:18:25.130 Regardless of the result of tonight's Thursday night football game, 0:18:25.430 --> 0:18:27.510 the Bears will still have a winning record. They are 4-2. 0:18:27.550 --> 0:18:31.030 They take on New England, right? Is it New England 0:18:31.050 --> 0:18:38.980 we play? At home. Yeah, and... New England, they went 0:18:39.020 --> 0:18:43.000 to the big game last year, right? But have they 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.260 not been getting a good performance out of Drake Mays? 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.700 Well, like the last two weeks they have. He got 0:18:47.740 --> 0:18:49.770 off to a really slow start. But they've come on 0:18:51.230 --> 0:18:52.350 the last, what, two, three weeks. 0:18:52.670 --> 0:18:52.990 Okay. 0:18:53.930 --> 0:18:56.310 So they're... Yeah, they had a big win against Buffalo. 0:18:56.930 --> 0:18:58.970 Unlike the 10 of Fitzgerald, they've righted their ship. 0:18:59.170 --> 0:19:03.730 Correct. Yeah. I'll tune in. And is this one of 0:19:03.770 --> 0:19:08.230 those Peacock... Anyone's won three in a row. Is this, 0:19:08.290 --> 0:19:14.310 is this, is this peacock Amazon prime on Amazon? Yeah. 0:19:15.190 --> 0:19:17.990 A truckload more Amazon. It's more than prime. It's a 0:19:18.030 --> 0:19:20.810 truckload more. So we, I'll watch that game tonight. That 0:19:20.850 --> 0:19:25.399 should be good. Um, and I've noticed, I said should be, 0:19:25.460 --> 0:19:28.680 cause I, there's no guarantees that, uh, that these games 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:34.770 will be, um, everything they're, um, cracked up to be, but, uh, 0:19:35.210 --> 0:19:41.580 Vikings will host the Colts on Sunday. That's a noon game. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.500 And immediately following that, it's a 325 game, I believe. 0:19:44.540 --> 0:19:46.929 It's the Motor City Kitties against Green Bay. I mean, 0:19:46.950 --> 0:19:51.510 there is one way or the other. The Vikings will 0:19:51.550 --> 0:19:53.450 still be in first place regardless, even if they lose 0:19:53.470 --> 0:19:55.340 and all the other... Well, not all three teams can 0:19:55.380 --> 0:20:00.159 win because Green Bay and Detroit play. But the Vikings could, again, 0:20:00.220 --> 0:20:03.800 with a victory, go to 6-0. And then either Green Bay. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.619 Yeah, you'd gain a game at least on one of 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.020 the two teams because they're playing each other. 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.460 Yeah, exactly. So the Vikings are kind of, and look, 0:20:13.830 --> 0:20:15.909 we know on, you know, it's the old cliche, on 0:20:16.010 --> 0:20:19.130 any given Sunday, but I really like the Vikings chances. 0:20:19.210 --> 0:20:22.419 I don't, You know, the fat cats get slaughtered in 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.280 the trap games and all that. That exists. I get it. 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.780 There are times where teams, you know, is it really 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.720 because they come out flat or they're overlooking the clubbers? 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:35.180 Just guys are in the training room. Sometimes it doesn't work. Bandwagon. 0:20:35.770 --> 0:20:38.550 But I would think the Vikings would win this game 0:20:38.590 --> 0:20:40.790 and move to 6-0 on the season and be in 0:20:40.810 --> 0:20:43.550 a really good spot, heading into what we consider to 0:20:43.590 --> 0:20:46.220 be maybe their toughest stretch ever. where they've gotten, again, 0:20:46.260 --> 0:20:49.139 you know the order, I can't remember, but it's Detroit 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.520 and San Francisco and Mexico City and it's Buffalo. 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.060 At Detroit, home to Buffalo, at Green Bay, and then 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.090 San Fran and Mexico. 0:20:57.109 --> 0:21:00.490 Yeah, so I think we'll get a much better idea 0:21:00.510 --> 0:21:07.149 where the Vikings stand. But I have confidence in the club. 0:21:07.170 --> 0:21:09.940 As long as your defense plays like they've been playing, 0:21:11.170 --> 0:21:15.700 I think you're in every ballgame or should be. We'll 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.300 take a break. We'll come back.
