Hello, young man, 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: the legendary one Mark Rosen is after this here in studio. 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Good to see you again, sir. Since we laughed lest 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: our last left our hero, which was you, That was 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: last Thursday. Since then much has happened, including you got 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 2: your guy. You wanted Kyler Murray and you've got him. 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 2: He signed with the Bikings a one year deal to 16 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: get him on the cheek. Is that after I yeah, 17 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: that was on Friday. I believe the cards. They they 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: have to pay the freight. It's something, you know, over 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: thirty six million dollars. I mean, that's how dis enchanted 20 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: they were with him. They said, we keep you and 21 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: pay you thirty six million or we let you walk 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: and still pay you thirty six million. They said they'd 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: let him walk, and I was with the vikings and 24 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: your thoughts, well, I. 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: Mean, and it makes sense. I mean, I don't what 26 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: Arizona's thinking getting, you know, the original thought. They're obviously 27 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: going through a rebuilding phase and kind of you know, 28 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: retooling their whole lineup and probably in search of more 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: draft picks and young players, and then worry about the 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: salary cap and everything else involved with it. I mean, 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: Murray had a long run with them, and Kyler had 32 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: his opportunities. Obviously he's been he's dealing with some injuries 33 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: the last few years, so we don't really know one 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: hundred percent of what we're getting with him. With the 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: potential of seeing him at his best is exciting to 36 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: think about. There's been you know, everybody's been weighing in 37 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: on how is he gonna fit with Koc's offenseines you know, 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: he's Murray's much more of a you know, shotgun type quarterback, 39 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: not necessarily under center. How's that going to affect the 40 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: running game? And you know, you're dissecting in one hundred 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: thousand different ways as if they haven't thought about all 42 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: that stuff. And then of course there's the other question mark, 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: and that's about a guy named j. J McCarthy and 44 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: how does that affect his career and where he's at 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: right now, where he's going, And potentially if Kyler Murray 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: does have that kind of a year, the Vikings reinvest 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: in him because then that's going to be on their dime. 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: I mean, they cannot afford to have another Sam Darnold situation. 49 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: Let's put it that way. If you know, if Murray 50 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 3: leads him to the playoffs and the victory at least 51 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: at the least and he goes, listen, he's twenty eight 52 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: years old, what do you want to do? Do you want 53 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: him to walk? Are they going to have to, you know, 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: invest another thirty thirty five million in him? And then 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: I have to deal with JJ. So there's there's a 56 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: lot more questions and answers. But on the surface, yeah, 57 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: I think I said it earlier to you. I mean, 58 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: when the wall those names are being bandied about, I thought, 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: you know, Murray's the one guy that kind of goes, Yeah, 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: it's kind of an exciting. 61 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: Prospect to think about this guy. Years haven't been good 62 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: and I don't disagree with him. Heisman Rookie of the 63 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: Year and it's kind of been downhill since. Yeah, up, 64 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: up and down and uh but you know he's so 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: down that the cards have given up. 66 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: Well absolutely, but teams, you know, they gave up on you, 67 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: all right. 68 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: I don't mind the move at all to you. 69 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: No, And I think that given what the other choices 70 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: were and the idea that the Vikings were not going 71 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: to have, you know, another they were going to bring 72 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: in the Nick Mullins of the world, and you know, 73 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: you know, obviously there are other quarterbacks that were out there, 74 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: but you know, I think and obviously he stated at 75 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: his news conference, you know, being a Vikings fan all that, 76 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: and more importantly is what what he got left and taken? 77 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: How does he fit in with this this team? And 78 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: staying healthy? I mean that's the other big thing. Uh So, Yeah, 79 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: I mean it's it's going to add a lot of 80 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: pizzazz to the training camp preseason, and Andy should light 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: a fire under JJ there that he doesn't need one. 82 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 2: There's debate whether is Murray do you think he's going 83 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: to be the starting quarterback or do you think there's 84 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: a competition both. 85 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: I think he's going to be the starting quarterback, but 86 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: I think there's going to be a competition. When we 87 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: were talking about this last week, when I think Tanner 88 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: was doing the show the one day you were out, 89 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: I said, you know, it's it happened. I mean, Chaos 90 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: is never going to come out and say it at 91 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: a news conference right now, going Kyler Murray's our starting 92 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: quarterback day one so. 93 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Well, he said that, he said, he said, I don't 94 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: last I checked, I don't have to say anything no. 95 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 3: And he doesn't. But I think they would not have 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: brought him in. 97 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 4: Uh. 98 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: I think without the idea. Now, personally, I would love 99 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: to see this push J. J. McCarthy to new heights 100 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: and to feel in his third year he's going to 101 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: be ready for that next step. If he doesn't, and 102 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: I don't know how they analyze all that, I mean, I. 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: Don't think they can because you only have odas in 104 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: mini camps where you don't learn too much, right because 105 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: you're not playing against other teams under five that practice 106 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: stuff where they bring a team in or you travel 107 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: somewhere and there's a little bit there. But again it's 108 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: that last year. But again it is under control control. 109 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: The environment. And so then you have your three preseason games. 110 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: And let's face it, even if you play McCarthy in 111 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: all three preseason games or Murray, you have to get 112 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: Murray sometime, I think, because he's it's a brand new system. 113 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: How is he going to make it work? But you 114 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: generally speak and like, do you think Jefferson plays in 115 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: any of those three preseason games? You're so McCarthy's not 116 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: thrown to him. So then what do you really learn 117 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: between now and the in the in the first game then, 118 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: and I don't know what you do learn? 119 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: And that's the and therein lies the issue because if 120 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 3: if indeed, on September whatever the date is, Kyler Murray 121 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: is is the starting quarterback for the Vikings, JJ is 122 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: going to be holding the clipboard and we're in a 123 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: baseball cap. And and that's not the worst thing in 124 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: the world. If you want to look at Brett's guy, 125 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: Jordan Love and what he's what he endured waiting for 126 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: his turn, much the way other you know, Aaron Rodgers 127 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: had to wait his turn. So it's a year by 128 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: year thing. And with Kyler Murray, you know, he very 129 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: well might put himself and he knows it and his 130 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: agent knows it, and more importantly, the Vikings know it. 131 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: If Murray does have that kind of a year, he's 132 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: he's free. He's on the open market. So the Vikings 133 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 3: would have to step up if they want to keep him, 134 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: or at that point you're going, you know what, I 135 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: think we'll roll with JJ now. So I mean, there's 136 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: all these things are speculative, and that's the fun part 137 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: about the NFL, and it's ridiculous to try to to 138 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: kind of take that quantum leap and go, well, this 139 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: is what I think we have with him. Other than 140 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: the fact that I think the perception around the league 141 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: is the Vikings improved themselves getting I mean, even with 142 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: the shakiness of Kyler Murray the last couple of years, 143 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: that they've improved the positions certainly from where they were 144 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: a year ago and what how that all transpired and 145 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: how that went post Sammy Darnold. So yeah, I mean, 146 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: I think it's fans want to see it. It's going 147 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: to be it'll be exciting a different brand of football 148 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: than what we've seen. I mean, his elusiveness, his ability 149 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: to get out of the pocket, how that's gonna you know, 150 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: potentially I think O'Connell did talk about that that, you know, 151 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: getting justin Jefferson a couple extra seconds to break off 152 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 3: a route, and as Murray's running around back, there should 153 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: only benefit both of them. I mean, you cannot have 154 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: a situation where I did a podcast the other day 155 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: with Robert Smith and Pete Persich, a lot of fun. 156 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: Those guys had great stories and I bursts brought up, 157 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: but I forgot. I mean, Jefferson caught only two touchdown 158 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: passes last year. That's just that's just obviously totally unacceptable. 159 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it was that many from what I 160 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: saw it from the quarter. I really don't remember, and 161 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: I don't remember them. I remember JJ doing the gritty 162 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: in the end zone. I don't remember the other JJ 163 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: doing the gritty in the end zone the wide receiver. 164 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, and the Vikings still finished 165 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: with a winning records somehow, someway. 166 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: Let's let's dispense with that. 167 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: That didn't matter. 168 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: The teams they beat were all out of the playoff picture. 169 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: They were terrible teams. Green Bay was this idea that 170 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: they were nine they still want nine and eight. Yeah, 171 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: they did go and eight, but they were four and eight, 172 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: and they won against a bunch of other teams that 173 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: didn't carry either well. 174 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, I mean, they're drafting eight 175 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: teenth overall. They I mean, I know, at the time 176 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: look good, but you know, at the same time, you 177 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: could have moved up four or five other show. 178 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: That's what I said from the very beginning. But everybody 179 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: laughed at me. You can't do that. You got to play. 180 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: You don't, I know you don't. 181 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: Now again, you can't tell the players not to try, 182 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: but you can all of a sudden, But the coach 183 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: can put in backups. He can make a more vanilla 184 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: game plan. But he thought. I'm just telling you the 185 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: idea that the team can build off that there's not 186 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: gonna be one player week one next week that's going 187 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: to be on the line of scrimmage goings. Boy, it 188 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: has four wins we had last year, really big whatever, 189 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: I think, that's just me. Well, break come back. We 190 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: got plenty more to get to. It's the legendary Mark 191 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: Rose here in the common Man program on the fan. 192 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: It's a Wild Wednesday right here on the fan. 193 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: We've got your shot of tickets to Wild Canucks April second. 194 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: Mark Rosen will be there.

Mark 199 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: Rosen here. Frost and Moscow both released back to back. 200 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, well, uh, the Moscow thing happened just a 201 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: short time ago and is interesting. Was driving around late 202 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: yesterday afternoon and uh, of course listening to Danny Barrero 203 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: and Louis. 204 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 2: Why were you not here yesterday? 205 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 3: Then? 206 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: That was at four o'clock. I hadn't had doctors. Oh okay, 207 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: I want to make sure. Just thought maybe your goal 208 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: broker just playing hockey last time. And I think Louis 209 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: was actually on later than that. Just check, just checking. 210 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: Thanks for asking though the same thing you were You 211 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: weren't here last Wednesday? 212 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct. 213 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: I was playing hooky, you're playing cookie. Yeah. Anyway, Louis 214 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: was talking about Uh, I think some email or texter 215 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: had asked a question about Moscow and he said, well, 216 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: my understanding, Louis understanding was I think Moscow might go 217 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: one more year and then retire. That was his the 218 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: thought process that he Louie felt that, you know, combination 219 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: of reasons that think the the cupboard was bare a 220 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 3: little bit this past year, and that you know, even 221 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: though they've had success, not necessarily the standards that go 222 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: over hockey wants because nothing less than a frozen four 223 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: appearance is acceptable, but that things were going to get 224 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 3: better next year. But obviously, uh that changed today. I 225 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: assume it's Mark Coyle's decision. So Moscow is not coming back. Uh. 226 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: He sounded like was getting ready to maybe hang it 227 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: up in a year. So I don't think it's it's 228 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 3: going to be a shock to you. I don't I 229 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: don't know about the brothers. 230 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: Do you think maybe if it was known that he 231 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: was only going to do a year, maybe it's maybe 232 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: maybe maybe the the the the aight egos well kind 233 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: of something people's doing the retirement tour here and you 234 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: know you're just doing the one last year or not 235 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: that he wouldn't try to coach club up as best 236 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: he could. It was like, well we may as well 237 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: move on now. 238 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: Well it's it's not a bad thought process because at 239 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: that point the new coach will get a you know, 240 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 3: head head start on recruiting and dealing with all the 241 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: other usual suspects with young players coming in the nil money. 242 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: You know, you got junior hockey league that's out there. 243 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: There's always an assortment of reasons why, and but it 244 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: does give Coyle and the university uh head start on 245 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 3: you know again that same thought process. If Moscow was 246 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 3: going to be here one more year, well why if 247 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 3: it's kind of that, I'm just going to finish things off, 248 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 3: may as well take the leap right now, and especially 249 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: after a year they just had it which was sort 250 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: it's obviously hugely disappointing. So you know, it's been a while, I. 251 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: Mean, and then frost out, Yeah, I don't know. 252 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: I mean he won with four national titles and you know, 253 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: it's been a while. I don't really know. I'm not 254 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: gonna I'm not going to try to pretend like I 255 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: know the specifics of of all the reasoning and it 256 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: went in behind that other than the fact that they 257 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: haven't had again, they haven't had the success that that 258 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: they once did. And and uh, we've we've seen the 259 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 3: you know, the number of you know, girls hockey players 260 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: you know, continue to have the kind of high standards 261 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 3: here in the state of Minnesota and the talent level. 262 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: So we'll see what their what their replacement's going to be. 263 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 3: But I mean, you guys were talking about it earlier. 264 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 3: It seems like the only safe head coach right now. 265 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: You know who gets the extensions all the time is PJ. Fleck. 266 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: I think Nico Medved we'll have a pretty good run 267 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: right now. Well, you know, after what happened this past year. 268 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: Obviously they're still playing in some third tournament whatever this 269 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: weekend in Vegas or next weekend. 270 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: Crown College, College College. 271 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, you know, he's got to get 272 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 3: he's got to get some healthy bodies in here and 273 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 3: continue to recruit, you know, and do what he did. 274 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 3: I thought he was very impressive what the go for 275 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: women are doing. Obviously, they're playing in the n CWA 276 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: tournament here this this Friday night against Green Bay, and 277 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: you'll be there. I will not have Yeah, no, I 278 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: will not. I probably will be watching at some point, 279 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: but down's done. Yeah, I'll talk to you about it 280 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: off here. But anyway, okay, I'm not going all right, 281 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: but yeah, so it's just uh, you know, it's college sports. 282 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: They have a shelf life with all these coaches, and 283 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: we see it time and time again. A lot of 284 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: times coaches are the ones who who leave and recruit 285 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: players and all of a sudden they get a better offer. 286 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 3: We see that in football a lot, and off they go, 287 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: despite the fact that they've made promises to certain recruits 288 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: that I'm going to be here and coach you up 289 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: for the next couple of years. But all the whole 290 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: landscape of the business has changed tremendously, and so, you know, 291 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be any shortage of applicants for 292 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: either job. 293 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: For oh, Scott go for hockey. It doesn't matter what 294 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: college job. There's always people that want to get a college. 295 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm sure there'll be some great candidates for 296 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: both jobs. In particular for Moscow's job, you know, obviously 297 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: had a pretty good run up Saint Claude for a 298 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: while as well. So yeah, a little surprising, but only 299 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 3: because of that. We thought that, you know, again, after 300 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: listening to Louis yesterday saying I think he's got one 301 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 3: more year and then he's going to kind of call 302 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: it on his own terms, kind of call it quits. Well, 303 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: they got a head start on that, and I think 304 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: they're having a news conversation. 305 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: Well that's why, you know, and I know Louise plugged in, 306 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: but I don't know if I call it surprising because Louise, 307 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: I think, was probably saying Motskow wanted to do one 308 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: more year, right, and then retire at sixty five. But 309 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: that's not necessarily what the no, what the administration's thinking. 310 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: Obviously they weren't. They were saying, let's. 311 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: Let's move on. 312 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: Now. 313 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's a top revenue producing sport, but 314 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 3: it does. We know when the GOP for hockey is 315 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 3: is at its peak. I mean, they're filling mer Yuci 316 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: and it does produce some you know, pretty good income 317 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: for me. And it just wasn't that same pizazz and 318 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: energy level at all for Gopher hockey this year. 319 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: You're getting ripped. Well not less are to you, but 320 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: says O kinda looking O'Connor is looking forward to those 321 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: couple of extra seconds so Jets can break off or 322 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: route while Kyler scrambles. Interesting, so they're just going to 323 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: abandon the offensive line. I hope Kyler doesn't get injured. 324 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: I guess that's one way to approach the season. We'll 325 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: see how long that lasts. Kyler out by week five, 326 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: number nine by week eight. Fortunately, Wentz will be about 327 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: seventy percent by week eight, so they can do a 328 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: repeat of last year. That sounds like the way this 329 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: thing might play out. I think that might be spot on. 330 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: I don't think it's we're talking on a regular basis 331 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 3: that he's going to be calling these plays where Kyler 332 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: scrambles around, you know, like fran Tarkenton until he finds 333 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: JJ open. I think it's more of the idea that 334 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 3: those plays will be there that potentially haven't been there 335 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: in the past when you're buying time in the pocket. Uh, 336 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 3: it's not their normal offense. They're going to run no, 337 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 3: I you know, that's all to be determined. But I 338 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: don't think that Kyler Murray is incapable of playing under center. 339 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: I think that's been the the thing on I'm seeing 340 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 3: to wrap on him because of his height and uh, 341 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: you know, it's just it's much more comfortable and the 342 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: shotgun and you know, listen, these things will find a 343 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: way of I don't think you like this club, you 344 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: like the look of them. I don't know yet. I 345 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: don't have any idea. I think it's you know, the 346 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: draft is gonna be obviously ex extremely important. 347 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: Nine picks that supplemental it helps. 348 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 3: I mean, they got it, they got spots to fill, 349 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: they got their at least they got their punter. 350 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: Now they go well now and now now they don't 351 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 2: have they don't have Cuazy to blame anymore. Now, So 352 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: if the draft goes sideways and ends up being like 353 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: the ones they can't balls in Toronto, I was quick, Wait, 354 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: he's not hearing him. 355 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: No, no, this is so, and I will. 356 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: And I will say this again. I know that GM 357 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: as the final say and he's the tie breaker, but 358 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: I guarantee you every head coach in the National Football 359 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: League has has plenty of say at how these drafts go. 360 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 3: Well, I think well, of course in koc and Brian 361 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: Flores from a defensive standpoint, I think that's probably the 362 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: way the Vikings are going to go at eighteen is 363 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: in all likelihood taking a safety And interesting to hear 364 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: the conversation again talking about I get Robert Smith and 365 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 3: Bursts talking about Harrison Smith keeping the door open that 366 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: you know he has not shut the door yet. They 367 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: extended his window to make that decision. Both from the 368 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: Viking standpoint and Harrison Smith's standpoint, and I think they're 369 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: leaving it up to him that if he feels he's 370 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: still got some football left in him. Nothing necessarily mean, well, 371 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: if he comes back, I mean he's going to obviously 372 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: probably start. But that seems to be when I look 373 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 3: at the mock drafts, kid from Oregon, the safety from 374 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: Oregon seems to be the more consensu. 375 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: Well, uh, did you know the games are one in 376 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: the trenches. 377 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 3: I'm aware of that. Well, they did, uh sign a 378 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: restricted free agent yesterday from Buffalo, but you know Buffalo's 379 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 3: got what three four days to match it. It's not 380 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: an exorbitant amount of money. 381 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: They have guy, from what I understand, is kind of a. 382 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 3: Dope offensive line. 383 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean he likes he can play. He 384 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: can play a little that it's not like you slide 385 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: him in and he's like where he's. 386 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 3: Gonna get darrisaw his place? No, but that you're still 387 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: got to have safety in numbers. We know that we've 388 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 3: seen that, and you want to have more bodies in there. 389 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: And I think they'll take it offensive linement. I don't 390 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 3: know if center will be highest priority. I mean, but uh, 391 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 3: you know, there's there's there's enough spots that they have 392 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: need at that. You know, I'm just saying best player, 393 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 3: best player available, but I wouldn't be surprised, and you know, 394 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: you're right. I mean, it's koc is going to have 395 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: the final say in this thing with this scouting department, 396 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 3: and obviously Flora is in particular. 397 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: But it's all starting to fall into place. Falling into place, 398 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 2: that is, we got a quarterback. Now, you got the 399 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 2: right guy picking on the draft, the head coach, he's 400 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: taking that over. But we don't. 401 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: We can't need a GM going to be there because 402 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: Rob is still. 403 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: Rob is acting GM, but I think he's taking care 404 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: of more of that. 405 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 4: You know. 406 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: Oh he's kind of stuff, you know, and I and 407 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that he doesn't have any say here. 408 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 3: He's not a personnel guy. 409 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 2: It's this Kossu.

Will you 466 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: say the same thing about me? 467 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: And then I'm getting to that point since I struck 468 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: out with the late great Jim Marshall. 469 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: My guess is you have more pull up pavocked than 470 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: you do it camp. 471 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you're probably right. 472 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 2: I just think you probably do. No, I'm not ripping you. 473 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 2: I'm just saying you stand that. 474 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 3: I could. 475 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not good enough obviously. Well I've 476 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: not accomplished enough in my forty year career. I think 477 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: if I just haven't, I get it. 478 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: No, I think if you your time may come much. 479 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 3: You know the way that people wait for other halls 480 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: of fames and they go, well, they're not. There's a 481 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 3: lot of competition out there. Look at the names you 482 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: just mentioned, A lot of them are in management. They're 483 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: not on air people. I mean you mentioned Sweedburg and 484 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: Semen in particular. They both are terrific of their jobs. 485 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: I always think the two of them. 486 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think it's possible maybe part of what 487 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: I did help get them into the Hall of Fame 488 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: or not? Maybe not. I don't know. 489 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 3: I think that's a I mean, I know it's a 490 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 3: it's a loaded question, it's a rhetorical question. But I 491 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: think you're You're right, and I think they would admit that. 492 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 3: That's the way that mcknselmo, who I went in with 493 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: the class of you. 494 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: Know what I liked about about and so I'm getting inducted. 495 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: His set in the speech was short, quick to the point. 496 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: He just got right to it. I mean, but you 497 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: barely had a chance to clear his throat and he 498 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: was done. 499 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 3: They went in alphabetical order, and he was first. It 500 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: was it was they were playing the cad. His name 501 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 3: wasn't Zane. It would have been a lot nicer. Would 502 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 3: have cut down his time at the bar that night, 503 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 3: that's for sure. 504 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: Oh well. 505 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 3: Another year, yep, So there we go. 506 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: The Wolves. Boy, they still are very hard. 507 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 3: I was there last night. Oh you were, Yeah, I 508 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 3: was there, And then I got to tell you I'll 509 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: come back to the wolves. 510 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: But are they a better team than without Edwards, I 511 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: think they might not in the long run. 512 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 3: Last night they were fun. I think what we're seeing, 513 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: what we'll see you tonight is uh, they soon move. 514 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 3: They play Utah Do Soon MoU and Bones Highland. You 515 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: know they play a real up tempo style. Where is 516 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: that's not his game? Listen, there is no way to 517 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: know how it would have been in the Western Conference 518 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: finals last two years without and not for sure and 519 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: even this year. But I think right now with and 520 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 3: out for probably two weeks, he's got deal with it, 521 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: and which is fine. But watching them wear down Phoenix 522 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: last night, and Phoenix played the night before in Boston, 523 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 3: you know, I had a pretty rugged game and Booker 524 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 3: had forty and he ended up with thirty four last night. 525 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: A lot of fun to watch him. He's an elite player. 526 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 3: But they didn't have a lot else in the tank. 527 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 3: And there's a game more on. The Wolves were able 528 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: to assert that running game and to watch the Soon 529 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 3: MoU and Highland in particular do their thing. Randal had 530 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: thirty two. I mean, the guy that I was impressed 531 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: with last night coming off the bench. I know he 532 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 3: was a late kind of season acquisition coming back with SlowMo. 533 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson gave him a boost. He's got a really 534 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: nice he's got a good head on his shoulders, understands 535 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: the game and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Had 536 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 3: six assists and Rudy had nineteen rebounds. You know, they 537 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: wore down Phoenix under maned Phoenix team, and you know 538 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: they got to follow that up tonight. But yeah, I 539 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 3: was fun to watch. Uh, you know, Bones had the 540 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 3: crowd going. He plays to the crowd and Sosunmu his 541 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: terrific addition. I mean, he's and now he's getting a 542 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: chance to start. He's he's he's Ant's replacement right now. 543 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: So we'll see how long it takes. But you know 544 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: they should win tonight. You know, even if Nas doesn't 545 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: play NOAs dealing with that shoulder. Then last night he 546 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 3: twisted his ankle and he listed is questionable for tonight, 547 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: but we'll see how that works. Sometimes these guys find 548 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: a way. But yeah, they need to keep pushing novelop 549 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 3: pushing it down to a little breathing room now over 550 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 3: the seventh place team. But you know, you're you know, 551 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 3: you're playing for a higher seed and he still have 552 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 3: that out there in front of you. 553 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they would, Yeah, you need to win a few 554 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 2: more games. 555 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: Correct. I got home. I was going to tell you. 556 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 3: Let me just finished my thought. I got home from 557 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 3: the game last night. I did. I well, I left 558 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 3: for like ten seconds to go, but at the time 559 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: I got out to get my coat and every years 560 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: out of here. But I got home. I I literally 561 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: did not see live. I've seen highlights, did not see 562 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 3: live one pitch of the World Baseball Classic. I got 563 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 3: home in time, went, oh, wait a minute, that game 564 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: was on at Target Center. I'm going to flip it 565 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: on and maybe it's not over. I didn't know I 566 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: put it on. I swear that the one pitch I 567 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: saw was the final strikeout of the game with Venezuela 568 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: who won. Venezuela won. It was so exciting. I was 569 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 3: so happy for them beating the United States. 570 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: I thought you were in United State A right, of 571 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: course I did. 572 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 3: But I want it was to see the passion that 573 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: those players had for their country, for their teammates, for 574 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: the fans that were there, was exceptional and Louis, you know, 575 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 3: seeing our guy Arise celebrate, Johann Santana, part of the staff. 576 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: It was thrilling and It wasn't like a you know, 577 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 3: the the US. It had ad hang their head in shame. 578 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think you know, Aaron Judge. They 579 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: had some big stars on that team, but to see, uh, 580 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 3: the overall passion that Venezuela had, uh and the pride 581 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: they had was for the for baseball. You know that 582 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 3: that's a big sport there. And that's the only thing 583 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: I saw, and it was it was really exciting and 584 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 3: I and I don't know overall what it means. I mean, 585 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: but for them when they got those gold medals around 586 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: their neck, they were they was like watching the Olympics. 587 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: I mean they were Did you. 588 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 2: Did you root for Dwayne Bobbic or Teofilo Stevenson? Well, 589 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: Dwayne Bobby Well, I'm just wondering because he was right, 590 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: So why didn't you know? 591 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: Well, because I knew, I knew Dwayne Bobby Boulst Minnesota. 592 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: How about No, No, it wasn't use of rooting. I 593 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: didn't really even know that. I mean again, I hadn't 594 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: seen one picture of the series. I just I have 595 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 3: seen highlights and I knew the US was competing and 596 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: they had that mix up with the manager. Not sure 597 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 3: if they needed to win the game, or rooting for. 598 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: Jean Claude Keeley or Spider Savage. It sounds like you're 599 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: rooting for instead of rooting for the United States like 600 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 2: Ryder Cup. Are you a European fan or the United States? 601 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: Love seeing the passion when they rubbed it in our 602 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: faces on our home soil? 603 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that. 604 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: You know we rubbed it in their faces. 605 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: You love that Venezuelan victory. That sounds no. 606 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: Bernif mcdavi or McKinnon hit the net to get Canada 607 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: the golden medal, probably this is where we're at now. 608 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: Who are you? Well? 609 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: No, that what he just basically said. He was so 610 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: glad Venezuela beat the United States. 611 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 3: I was. I was. 612 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: I was thrilled for them. 613 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: It wasn't so much at the expense of the US, 614 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: although a couple of guys took their silver medals off 615 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: right away. I guess, But you know, I I We've 616 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 3: seen the success that a lot of these players have 617 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: had in the World Series, and you know their collection. 618 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: I think it just meant more to them in Venezuela. 619 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Based on their reaction. It doesn't matter. 620 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't have been upset at the US 621 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: had one, of course, But I but I think that 622 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: the explosion and of true ied enthusiasm was really something. 623 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 3: And I think the fans, uh even base just baseball 624 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: fans in general, were the winners and that they were. Yeah, 625 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 3: I think it was a great showcase. I mean, they're 626 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 3: they're to understand the impact that you know, Theminican players, 627 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 3: Cuban players, you know, the Venezuela players made on the 628 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: sport the World Series.

Here we miss him. I know they 634 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 3: got Lopez in return. That was going to be a 635 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: great trade and turned out start to be a really 636 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: good trade and a Rises bounced around a little bit. 637 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: But I was devastated by the US lassign. 638 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: You didn't even find out until I just told you.

Outside of March, I don't know exactly. We're 660 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: not too far away. Your wild club had gone into 661 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 2: a bit of a tailspin. They lost three games and 662 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: to some bottom feeders. You know they it wasn't you know, 663 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: they including the Rangers, last place club. So they get 664 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: Chicago last night at Chicago and they had a three 665 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: to one lead and then all of a sudden, Chicago 666 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: port On. You know, someone was somebody sent me a 667 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: text kind of oh ripped the Wolves when they you know, 668 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: blah blah blah says oh. No, I criticize the Blackhawks. 669 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: Blake Moore was doing the well, you know, the wild 670 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: let off on the gas, and what I said was, 671 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: I don't think that's what happened. I think the Blackhawks 672 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: stepped on the gas and they almost took it from 673 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: the Wild. The Wild. Now they did win. They were 674 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 2: really good in the in the in the in the 675 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: three on three, but that's three losses and then you 676 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: know you have to go to overtime with a bad 677 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: Blackhawks team. How is this team again? I'm not saying 678 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: it's over over, but do we have any kind of 679 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: qualms at all? H you think you know, they other 680 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: than the beginning of the season, they really have not 681 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 2: had a real you know, lull where they've lost a 682 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 2: few games in a row. 683 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: Should we be uh, you always have qualms. I wouldn't 684 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: read too much into it, I think because they are 685 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 3: absolutely set. You know, they're playing Dallas in the first 686 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: round the playoffs, and if they played they opened up 687 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: here great. They probably won't, but if they do, you know, 688 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: it's I don't think it's going to be the deciding factor. 689 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: I think it's just really difficult to keep pushing that 690 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: envelope harder and harder and harder as they played these teams, 691 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: knowing they're coming down the home stretch right now, and 692 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 3: you know, it's just again, we talk about the NBA 693 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 3: sometimes in the length of the season and some of 694 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 3: these games and teams are taking I don't think necessarily 695 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 3: obviously you're not seeing that so much in the NHL. 696 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: The Blackhawks are going anywhere. But I wouldn't be overly concerned. Again, 697 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: I tipped my cap to mister Nanny. He was talking 698 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 3: about all the goaltending. You always worry about the goltending, 699 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 3: and Gustuson's going to be the number one goalie for 700 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 3: this team in the postseason. But I don't think. I 701 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 3: think their health is probably to me more paramount than 702 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 3: anything else. That they keep these guys and you know, 703 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 3: getting Quinnesota maybe a little bit more, you know, shift 704 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 3: breaks and giving them some time, some rest. You like him, knowing, well, 705 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 3: how can you not, but I just you know, yeah, 706 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 3: are they are they a team without a weakness. No, 707 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 3: but I think that there certainly will compete at a 708 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 3: much higher level when the bell rings on the postseason, 709 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: and that that's what. That's all that people are going 710 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 3: to remember. They're not going to remember a couple of 711 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 3: games here and there at the end of March that 712 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 3: aren't going to lead to anything. I think it's going 713 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 3: to be, you know, when that playoffs start middle of April, 714 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 3: that's all it's going to matter. I mean, it's you know, 715 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: talking about any of these games or when they slumped 716 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 3: in middle of March for three or four games. 717 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about them. 718 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: Well, that's fine. I'm going to say one to the finals. 719 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: Let's let's just play it out and say they lose 720 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: to Dallas in the first Yeah. 721 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 722 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 2: Could we say they let their foot off the gases 723 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: Blakemore said, and that they didn't keep and it was 724 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 2: hard to get it back going again. No, that's what 725 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to go. 726 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 3: I think I think that the playoffs are a whole 727 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: different animal, and the the energy it takes to win 728 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 3: a series is extraordinary, and I don't think anything that 729 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: happens in March is going to dictate in April. Middle 730 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: of April, I will see. I think other teams are 731 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 3: going through the same malays. A lot of teams, a 732 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 3: lot of the top teams are necessarily, you know, playing 733 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: their best hockey right now because everybody kind of knows. 734 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 3: I mean, Colorado's lost a few games and they know, 735 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: uh you know, their place already is is secure, and 736 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: Dallas same type of thing. So I don't think it's 737 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: anything to be concerned about. It's not that the Wilder. 738 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: That does mean the wild they're going to not face 739 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 3: an ultimate challenge when they play Dallas, and they could 740 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: lose that series, but it's not going to be because 741 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 3: of what happening right now. Okay, I don't think that's 742 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 3: my own. 743 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 2: I think it's possible, all right, because I think sometimes 744 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 2: you you you established habits good and bad. 745 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 3: Well, they did win the game last they did. They 746 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 3: did they come back here and play tomorrow night the 747 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: same team they did. 748 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 2: It's the worst team in hockey. Well, I remember those 749 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 2: great and they were getting that that that rivalry means 750 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: nothing to what's happened like that was that was a 751 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 2: team that was on its heels to the worst team 752 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: in hockey. I'm a bit concerned, Okay, well you're the 753 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 2: one there is your neck out and said they were 754 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: gonna that's what it looked like when they were playing 755 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: the way they were playing the way they But I 756 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: don't know what's wrong with this team. They maybe maybe 757 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: they've lost their they lost their edge, they'd lost the 758 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: edge and lost their motor. Maybe they came off flat. 759 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. One shiny moment march madness starts. I mean, 760 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: for real tomorrow. I know we've had these playing games, 761 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: but once those are out of the way, who do 762 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 2: you like you gotta? 763 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 3: I haven't dug that deep I was talking maybe off air. 764 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: I have not. 765 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 3: I mean, shame on me. I haven't filled out a 766 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 3: bracket in two years or something. I just but it's 767 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: not like I'm not paying attention to it. I certainly 768 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: will lock into it. And I think the usual suspects, 769 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 3: the top seeds or I always look for the team 770 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 3: that in my mind has the best guards that end up, 771 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 3: you know, getting to the final four, because guard play 772 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: to me, is everything in this Uh in these games 773 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 3: that your your guards dictate tempo, don't turn the ball over, 774 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 3: you know, uh, you know, make knockdown three pointers. I 775 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 3: mean Michigan certainly got some great guards. And you know, 776 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 3: I think even in the Big ten, produced could be 777 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 3: a sleeper, but you know the usual suspects with Duke 778 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 3: and Arizona, you know that that will be there. I mean, 779 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 3: I I'd like to see some you know, you know, 780 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 3: teams that are kind of under the bubble, a little 781 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 3: bit from being not necessarily a low low seed, but 782 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 3: you know, the Iowa States of the world, you know, 783 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 3: those types of teams that I'd like to see succeed. 784 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 3: And it's always fun when you've got a team that 785 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 3: you don't expect that it's going to you know, even 786 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 3: a fourth seed if you know obviously that the dreaded 787 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 3: five against twelve. When you're filling out your bracket, they 788 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 3: always say, you know, take the twelve seed because there's 789 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: always upsets the first round and twelve. I'm not going 790 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 3: to fill out a bracket. What I don't even I 791 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 3: don't know where to get one. I don't I haven't 792 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: seen anybody in this there's nobody around here anymore. 793 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 2: Well, you used to have salespeople and everything. 794 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 3: I don't see anybody anymore, no one. If you see 795 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 3: the bracket. 796 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: The sales offices pack. 797 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: But do you have a bracket? 798 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, from who? From Dylan who used to be 799 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 2: a sales. 800 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 3: Is it online or something? I don't know. 801 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 2: He sent me an email because he knows I'm in. 802 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 2: You've probably never participated before, so why have participating in 803 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 2: the radio station line? Yeah, well, then maybe check your email? 804 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 2: I bet maybe I should.

It just 821 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 2: did because there's different reasons where asking I know where 822 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 2: athletes live. 823 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 3: I was a real estate guy, that's all.
