1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: This when losing is not an option. Leader Fan Fan 2 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Radio Network, Sorry, k Fair and k f a N 3 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: dot com.

We've got a bunch of outstanding 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: award winning vikings talking points to get to that Guardsy 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: has put together before he had to do some other duties. 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: And we have an outstanding guest array of guests today 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: between now and six point thirty as well.

Already a 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: lot of good techs are coming in and I will 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: tell you that a couple things about Vikings over Europe, 22 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: especially London. I found myself yesterday morning officially in the 23 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: category of I don't like these early games. They screw up. 24 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: They I feel like I'm out of whack the entire day. 25 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't ever get back to where I want to. 26 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: I know the league's not going to shut the game 27 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: down because of me, but I wonder if anybody else 28 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: is in that classification. Obviously you watch it, obviously you 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: make time for it. It's the Vikings, man. It throws 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: off all the rhythms on a Sunday. I don't even 31 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: think any other games interest me as much. I don't 32 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: get caught up. I feel like I'm half asleep. I'm 33 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: getting up at a time I don't want to. I'm 34 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: starting the clock quicker than I want to. Thankfully, we're 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: done with that for the twenty twenty five season, not 36 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: the NFL, but the Minnesota Vikings. And the other thought 37 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: I had as I'm watching the game, and as I 38 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: was attempting overnight to sort of process it, is that 39 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: I do believe that game fell under the classification of 40 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: losing was not an option. Now you can take that 41 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: a couple of different ways. You can take it the 42 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: obvious way, which is, well, they really needed to win. 43 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: I must win. Does that sound crazy in early October? 44 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: Maybe not so much. To come back to the home 45 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: country down in the standings two and three, record below 46 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: five hundred, not good when you're allegedly playing the soft 47 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: part of your schedule. So to that extent, I think 48 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: the Vikings understood the solemnity of the acade, except perhaps 49 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: for one wide receiver, although ultimately that's what my talent's 50 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: undefeated man, Jordan Addison. You'll notice that even though he 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: got punished and he wasn't playing, allowed to play in 52 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: the first quarter, you noticed he was allowed to play 53 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth. Coaches aren't dumb, man, no matter how 54 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: far they go about discipline. Talent's undefeated flat out. I mean, 55 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: let's face it, if Jordan Addison was an ordinary receiver, 56 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: he might be cut by now, he might not be 57 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: even in the league at this point. But he's gifted. 58 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: And we wrap up with that late drive, and I 59 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: couldn't help but think, well, losing was not an option 60 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: because I don't think the Cleveland Browns are going to 61 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: let you lose. I honestly believe that if Kings had 62 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: not scored on that last possession, they'd gotten the ball 63 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: back two more times from the Browns. I just shook 64 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: my head at the ineptitude of the opposition through much 65 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: of that game on so many levels, the doofus factor 66 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: as it was revealed on so many levels as well, 67 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: And I came away from the conclusion with the conclusion 68 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: that losing that game was not going to be an option. 69 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: The Browns were not going to allow it to happen 70 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: one way or another, no matter how many possessions it took. 71 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: It was very clear that the Browns are not going 72 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: to move the ball any longer, and they weren't even 73 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball very well any 74 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: longer after they'd been brilliant doing it for much of 75 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the ball game. So the Vikings come away with the 76 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: needed win. I don't know how you come out of 77 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: that game thinking we're on our way. I guess you 78 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: can finesse it by saying, well, we literally are playing 79 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: a backup offensive line. Now we come to find out, 80 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: and I don't where this is. This is I'll ask 81 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: Johnny Athletic about this, even though I don't think he 82 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: made the trip Johnny's gonna be with us at four. 83 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm confused, and perhaps this has been established earlier in 84 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: the day on the project snap count for darisaw Now, 85 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: I think he was on the field for seventy seven 86 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: snaps last week and he was cut off at forty 87 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: six this week. So I'm confused about that. I feel 88 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: like we've been sold a bill of goods all along. 89 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: The communication on darisop right on schedule has been deceptive 90 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: at best, a flat out lie at worst. But you 91 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: can again say, well, we don't have our line yet 92 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: and give us a chance. Now we got the bye week, 93 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: we got a chance to put an offensive line together 94 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: that at least was in theory improved from over a 95 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: year ago. You can finesse it that way if you'd like. 96 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm on record, and I know there's a lot of 97 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: Macobo's who are very unhappy with me on this. I 98 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: believe Carson Wentz should start against Philly. I really do 99 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: I and I'm not even saying it because of the 100 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: revenge factor. It's a good angle, it's a good storyline. 101 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't think coaches can think that way or make 102 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: decisions on that basis, But Carson Wentz has actually grown 103 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: on me since he's been with this team, mainly because 104 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he has shown I know again Rose were Brownstone. 105 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: People were ecstatic at halftime because it looked like what shoulder, 106 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: He's done for the day. At least Wentz is out, 107 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: Rosemar's in, right, that's what they I mean. Can you 108 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: imagine how giddy guards he was who had predicted it. 109 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he was over the moon. Why do you 110 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: think I'm filling in today? He's so disappointed, It's probably true, 111 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: and then he gets let down and the veteran comes back, 112 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: makes enough plays. That last drive was great, and look, 113 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm not pretending that he's on a path to be 114 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: an MVP candidate this year. I'd start him. And maybe 115 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: I still have too much recency bias on JJ. I. 116 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: I think I was traumatized by what I saw from 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: that last game from JJ McCarthy, perhaps too much so, 118 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I I'd play once out until 119 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: he stinks, till the team loses. There's still gonna be 120 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: plenty of time for JJ McCarthy. It's okay to slow 121 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: the clock a little bit, not gonna make difference, doesn't 122 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: really matter. And you know, I know there's a lot 123 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: of talk, including on the station, that well, unless you 124 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: think Carson Wentz can lead you to a super Bowl, 125 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: you start JJ McCarthy. That sounds good in theory, I 126 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: will grant, but it leaves out, I think an important 127 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: part of the story. Even if you think JJ McCarthy 128 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: can eventually has more likely to eventually lead you to 129 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: a super Bowl than Carson Wentz, is what if you've 130 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: come to the realization that he's more overwhelmed than you 131 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: thought he'd be at this point, and that you actually 132 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: need to slow play him a little bit. I think 133 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: you have to throw that into the mix here. It's 134 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: not simply about well, in the in the grand scheme 135 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: of things, eventually, who's going to be greater? You have 136 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: to feel that he's ready to make a significant jump 137 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: right now in order to I think, to make it 138 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: a no brainer though, Well, so JJ's ready, you got 139 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to go to him. So that will be the intriguing 140 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: story during the bye week. Obviously, that'll keep us going 141 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: through that long stretch. What ultimately a KOC decides to 142 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: do on that occasion. But God blessed the Cleveland Browns 143 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: man and their offense. I and I'm not going to 144 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: put it all on the on the quarterback. What's the 145 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: name of the young quarterback, the third round pick that 146 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: they played, Dvi Gabriel. Dylan Gabriel. First of all, I do, 147 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: is Dylan Gabriel like five to six? He's listed at 148 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: six feet. He's not big. He looks to me like 149 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: he's about five to five. There's no way six feet. 150 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: He's too little. First of all, I think. Secondly, again, 151 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: he made a few nice plays. He made a few 152 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: nice throws. But when he made a bet, I mean, 153 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: how many either throwaways or balls twenty yards over the 154 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: head of the receiver did he throw? My god, you 155 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: have to beat the Vikings. Had no choice but to 156 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: beat the Cleveland Browns yesterday, and thank god it was 157 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: the Browns because I don't know how many other teams 158 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: they would have beaten. I'm not sure there's another team 159 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: they would have beaten other than the Cleveland Browns. But 160 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: they got them. On the schedule, the soft, creamy part 161 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: of the schedule is over. I get it. Don't text 162 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: me with well, really, what about the Ravens. Danny tricked 163 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: them out lately. Well, I'm banking on the possibility or 164 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: probability that Lamar will be back by then. They're a 165 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: mess right now, no question Chargers Okay, yeah, I get it, 166 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: but it's there, and I still wouldn't love their chances 167 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: in that situation, even though they look like they're going 168 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. I understand all these things. I said 169 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: this a long time ago. A good team comes out 170 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: of that five games stretch with the record of four 171 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: and one, A great team comes out of it at 172 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: five and zero, an okay team comes out of it 173 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: at three and two. In fact, check the numbers on 174 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: strength of schedule to this point, and I believe the 175 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: Vikings have one of the softest schedules to this point 176 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: in all of the National Football League. Now that can change, 177 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: but I think that's the reality of this thing as 178 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: we move forward. As I said talking points today, Johnny 179 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: Athletic at four, Ben Lieber later in the four o'clock hour, 180 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: no Adam Feelin today on their way back from London. 181 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get feeling tomorrow or perhaps later in the week, 182 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: but a very good in studio guest as well. We're 183 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: going to be joined pretty regularly again by Wolf's point 184 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: guard Mike Conley, and Connley is going to sort of 185 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: kick off his appearances with us for this season by 186 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: stopping by our studio. He's gonna be with us in 187 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: studio between and five point thirty. I am very much 188 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to that visit as well. So a powerpack 189 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: and as I said, a lot of really good vikings 190 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: talking points including I think the most underrated, undervalued and 191 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: not talked about all enough. Dufus factor as exhibited yet 192 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: again by the Cleveland Browns.

Barrero and blakemore 221 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: with you until six thirty tonight. It is worth noting 222 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: that the head coach is saying that Carson Wentz, who 223 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: suffered that shoulder injury left shoulder injury that had him 224 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: in the blue tent for a while and then seemingly 225 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: while he was listed officially I think at halftime is questionable, 226 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: but then came back, didn't. The only snappy miss was 227 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: a kneel down at the end of the first half 228 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: from Brozeman. Have you ever seen a better kneel down? 229 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: In all honest? Have you ever seen this? Guy's never 230 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: done a kneel down as a pro. Look like he'd 231 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: done it for years, didn't it. 232 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: I've never seen a more poised, polished, just absolutely professional 233 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: kneel down. 234 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. What a good kneel down that was? Do you 235 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: look scared to you? You got a credit PJ Fleck? Yeah, 236 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: I think extension. I guess, well, don't be surprised. Uh no, 237 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: But apparently there's further testing going on Wentz's shoulder because 238 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: it's still very sore, So I guess you have to 239 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: factor that into the mix. Maybe a Wentz injury will 240 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: supersede a the lingering effects of the JJ injury and 241 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: might also have some impact during this two week stretch 242 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: that the Vikings now have open on who ends up 243 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: starting in our return engagement against the Philadelphia Eagles. Somebody's 244 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: telling me do you have can you find strength of 245 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: schedule to this point? So I did look that up. 246 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: Somebody's saying I have it exactly wrong regarding the Viking 247 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: strength of schedule through the first five games of the season. 248 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: So here's what I've got. It comes from a website 249 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: Power Rankingsguru dot com. 250 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Oh, and which clearly can't be wrong. 251 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: All right, the overall the strength of schedule remaining, well, yeah, 252 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: that's I'm gonna get. Okay, okay, strain of schedule remaining 253 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: The Vikings have the most difficult literally literally the most 254 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: difficult the strength of schedule so far, they have the 255 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: third easiest, only behind the Cardinals and the Bills. 256 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Yes, that's why. So five seven guys lost his mind here, 257 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: I he's he's saying that only six teams have had 258 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: a more difficult slate of opponents this year. 259 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: I know. 260 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I read what I read Friday. I didn't have the 261 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: exact number, but I knew we were on the soft 262 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: side early. I also understand, and that's part of the 263 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: reason some of us have said go five and zero. 264 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: For my gil, go four and one. Right, give yourself 265 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: a little margin for air when you get into this, 266 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: into this middle section, that seems, at least on paper, 267 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: to be so challenging. That was kind of the whole 268 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: point of it. But be that as it may. I 269 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: know most of you know, and Dan Minnesota's made a 270 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: big deal of it. This is the very emotional anniversary, 271 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: the twentieth anniversary of love Boat, and I remember it well. 272 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: What I remember most about it is that I recall 273 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: doing Mike Tys Live later that week, and we were 274 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: doing it on that occasion at a bar. I don't 275 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: remember where we were, and it was It's obviously a 276 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: very strange occasion because that's all anybody wanted to talk about. 277 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't remember how much Tys was willing to talk 278 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: about it, but that's a lot of what we got into. 279 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: In any case, love Boat twenty years ago, it feels 280 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: like it was only yesterday. And the quote the tweets 281 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: that getting the most is that is get the most attention, 282 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: as I'm sure many of you know, is from a 283 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: Samantha van Ginkle. Did you see this one? Have you 284 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: heard about this one? 285 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: No? 286 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: This is remarkable. Vicologist had tweeted about the anniversary, like 287 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people, including Dan Minnesota. By the way, 288 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: this is also the anniversary of Dan Minnesota's first book 289 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: that I do the forward for as well, So it's 290 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: emotional day for him. I'm still available you kidding me? 291 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: Of course it's available. You didn't think it was. I 292 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: just wanted to know. Well, it sold very very well, 293 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: but it is still available. More on that in a minute. 294 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: So Samantha Van Ginkle sees the reminder from Vicologist and 295 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,719 Speaker 1: here's what her reply was. As a lifelong Minnesota, as 296 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: a lifelong Vikings fan, I'll never forget what happened the 297 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: last time a boat was involved. So when a few 298 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: people started planning a cruise on Minnetaka for bye week, 299 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: I dropped an article in the group chat with all 300 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: the details. Safe to say, no one's setting sail this week, 301 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: brilliantly played by Samantha van Ginkle. I believe the wife 302 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: of our Van Ginkle correct. So yeah, I mean I 303 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: said this. I think Friday my recollection, and it's not 304 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: always the best. In fact, you go, when it goes 305 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: back that far you almost want to sometimes embellish to 306 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: add to the legend, as if the story wasn't rich enough. 307 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: Is that the irony of the whole drama was that 308 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: it probably never would have been reported, it might not 309 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: have led to any place no matter what did or 310 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: didn't take place on the vote itself, the Alan Alma's vote. 311 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: If several players had waited to pee at home or 312 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: at a public restroom, but the word was several of 313 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: them decided to pee in somebody's backyard on the way 314 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: out of there after gets off the boat, and that 315 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: got reported, and that got this whole ball of axe going. 316 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Seffert, who I'm assuming he is going to join 317 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: us later this week back from across the Pond, was 318 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of the coverage and he'll have a 319 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: much better memory than I. But I think that was 320 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: a big part of it, is that it might have 321 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: been one of those stories that you know, there's a 322 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: million of those stories that never get told, and this 323 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: one might have also been in that classification. But I 324 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: believe that's what ultimately got in a way. So there 325 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: you have it. You were probably too young to even 326 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: remember the love Boat, right. 327 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 2: I actually yeah, I mean I knew there was some 328 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: controversy going on, but yeah, that was before my time. 329 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: They had I don't know how they had to be 330 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: a massive boat. I mean, it was this thing just 331 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 2: because they had hundreds, well people on there. 332 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there were that many, but there was 333 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: a good side, I want to say, I can't remember 334 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: how many were there. And of course the big one 335 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: of the big uh, I guess talking points was that 336 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: the exotic dancers got imported. I was it from Atlanta, 337 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: And then that got the local angle people going, well, 338 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: why what's wrong with our exotic dancers? You know what's wrong? 339 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: Why why can't you keep it low like the Colorado 340 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: side thing, even with exotic dancers. So it was it 341 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: was one of those moments, man, that will all be 342 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: always live in in infamy. And again my guess is 343 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of those things that tend to happen, 344 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, with people with a lot of money, athletes 345 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: especially that has never that have never seen the light 346 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: of day. And unfortunately for the Vikings, this one did. 347 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: So also going to go along with the power rankings Guru, 348 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: which can never be wrong, according to the Wikipedia article 349 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: that can never be wrong. Yes, there were at least 350 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: ninety people on the two boats and. 351 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: Smooth law boats. Yeah that's right. 352 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 2: Smoot later estimated that there were one hundred women presence, 353 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: one hundred one hundred women. 354 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: That's smoot. I mean he might have been exactly, but yeah, 355 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: he was. I guess it's possible. I guess anything as possible. 356 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: So here, I mean, look at listen to this list 357 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: for today, some of it calamitous, some more celebratory. On 358 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: this date, in nineteen sixty three, the Vikings lose to 359 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals fifty six to fourteen, biggest home 360 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: lost deficit in franchise history fifty six fourteen. In nineteen 361 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: sixty nine, on this date, Twins lose note eleven to 362 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: two and get swept by the Orioles in the Alcs. 363 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: On this date, in the year two thousand, you know 364 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: what happened, Minnesota Wild played its first official game ever. 365 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: I was there for it. We get edged by the 366 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: Ducks three to one, and I got admonished in the 367 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: Anaheim press box for swearing. I was on the phone, 368 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: I want to say it was with Patrick ROYCEI and 369 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: we were just having a conversation. I don't know what 370 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: the subject was, and I might have sworn. And one 371 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: of the attendants approached me and said, sir, there's certain rules. 372 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: You know, this is a Disney The whole deal I 373 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: had no idea, but that's the only time in history 374 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: that I recall being admonished for swearing in a press box, 375 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: and that was the occasion. Also on this date, two 376 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: thousand and two, Paul had finally missed a volunteering for contractions, 377 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: saying I don't feel guilty in the least we mentioned. 378 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: The two thousand and five Love Boat twentieth anniversary is today. 379 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: In two thousand and six, the Twins were swept by 380 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: Oakland in the Alds. I think we scored like three 381 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: runs total in this series. And in twenty twenty, so 382 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: five years ago today, History of Heartbreak was released. This 383 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: is the fifth anniversary of the best selling Dan Lennesota 384 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: classic Minnesota History of Heartbreak. I was honored to have 385 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: a chance to write the forward. It's all I do. 386 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 1: Other people write books. I just write forwards for books. 387 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: You know, History of Heartbreak, Damn Minnesota, the Roycy Book. 388 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: It's easier. It doesn't take quite as much teeth gnashing 389 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: to get the thing done. All right, let's stay on schedule. 390 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: Let's make this the bottom of hour pause. A lot 391 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: of interesting techts are coming in. I got some talking 392 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: points to get to early regarding the Vikings victory. People 393 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: are weird though, because they're now mad at me for 394 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: not appreciating the victory after saying, some games you just 395 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: have to win. I what I said was many of 396 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: the same people who texted last Thursday and Friday and 397 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: said we can't win this game. Cleveland's too good, or 398 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland's too scary, or we're too injured. My mantra was, 399 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: you got to just go win the games. I mean, 400 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: that's at some point somebody's got to step up. And 401 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: by the way, the guy who stepped up, let's be honest, 402 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: it's Carson Wentz at last drive nine for nine. Are 403 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: you kidding me? And by the way, I also think 404 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: the head coach had a very good series of play 405 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: calls as well during that stretch come back though, and 406 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge at least Guardsi's Minnesota Golden Golfers. 407 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: What the hell was that? 408 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: Kfan welcomes Trans Siberian Orchestra for two amazing shows at 409 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: Target Center December twenty eighth, three pm and seven thirty pm. 410 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: Tickets on sale now.

Kfan dot com keyword calendar. 412 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: I think on either Thursday or Friday show. I suggested 413 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: there were people the college football insiders who believed that 414 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: or still probably believe that the Ohio State defense this 415 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: year might be historic, and I sent that out. I 416 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: issued that kind of as a warning to giddy Gophers 417 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: fans who thought, why not us? Why not now? And 418 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: I know they got giddier after we systematically drove down 419 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: the field for that game opening drive, in which we 420 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: had to unfortunately settle for three, but at least we moved. 421 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: I think those are the only points Ohio State had 422 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: given up in a first quarter so far this season. 423 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: That defense looked rather historic again on Saturday night against 424 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: the Gophers, but I have to tell you that was 425 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: a no show. Now, it may well be Ohio States 426 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: on the fast track to win another chant national championship, 427 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: but they have not been routinely blowing people out. They've 428 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: played defensively very well, but they have not been blowing 429 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: out teams the way they blew certainly teams in major 430 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: conference the way they did the Gophers. You want to 431 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: talk about being humbled. That was as humbling an evening 432 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: of football as this program has had in a long time. 433 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: What had wasn't it? PJ, who told who had told 434 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: us before the season, what was the quote? The lids 435 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: off the jar, the cap the caps off the jar. 436 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: In other words, sky's the limit. And I lauded it 437 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: at the time because I think what he was trying 438 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: to say is why can't we be Indiana of a 439 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: year ago? Caps off the jar? Well, I don't how 440 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: to break it to PJ. That was that was vacuum 441 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: sealed cap in Columbus on Saturday night. That was not 442 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: even remotely competitive. That's a problem to me. I get 443 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: it again, no number one ranked team, you're playing them there, 444 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to beat them, But are you supposed 445 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: to be humiliated by them? That was not a ballgame. 446 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: After the initial drive, that was literally not a football game. 447 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 1: I've watched that game under several other coaches, including Jim Whacker. 448 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: That was awful. Their defense could do nothing with the Buckeyes, 449 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: and as I said, the offense after that first drive 450 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: got nowhere, it was almost like, well I can't believe 451 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: we let you score these three. Okay, now we're going 452 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: to get serious about this thing. That was a definite. 453 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: There was nothing cap off the jar about that performance. Now, 454 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: fortunately for them, they've got an easier opponent coming. I 455 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: think it's Purdue next, if I'm not mistaken. They're in 456 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: a relatively softer part of their schedule. But that was bad. 457 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: That was that did not look like a team that 458 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: you're dreaming about saying, well, you know, they got hot, 459 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: they get some and let's face it, the first indicator 460 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: of the fact that there are limits to this team 461 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: right now, perhaps even this program is that was the 462 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: California game. 463 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: Now. 464 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: I gave him great credit for coming from behind in 465 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: another game. I think they had to win because it 466 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: was at home against Rutgers. But that's that felt like 467 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: three losses, not one. It was. It was not good. 468 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: Vikings talking points got plenty to get to. Johnny Athletics 469 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: is going to join at the top of the hour. 470 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: I think it's only right that we start with a 471 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: montage saluting one player, one member of the twenty twenty 472 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: five Minnesota Vikings. 473 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 5: My job is to go out there and get open 474 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 5: and make plays. You know, That's that's the main thing. 475 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 5: It's all about going out there and making plays. Being doubled, 476 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 5: being tripled, single coverage, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't 477 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 5: matter who's going that you know eighteen is going to 478 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 5: go out there and make a play. 479 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 3: Rights out of the shotgun back to pass, throws left 480 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 3: in his pot Justin Jefferson first down near the sideline 481 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: at the thirty four to the thirty five, out of 482 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 3: bounds at the thirty six. It's a fifteen yard first 483 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 3: down hit Wentz to Justin Jefferson. The Vikings scrimmage from 484 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: their own thirty six, trailing seven zero. Naylor in motion 485 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 3: to the left. Wentz with a quickie caught between the 486 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: numbers and the hash mark Jefferson at the forty six, 487 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: thrust down at the forty eight for a game of 488 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: twelve and another first down for the Minnesota Vikings. 489 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 4: You almost have to throw him the football that way 490 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 4: and just count on him making a play because JJ 491 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 4: has that kind of catch radius. And if they keep 492 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 4: doing this one on one business, we're gonna get a 493 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 4: big play out. 494 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: And it's something first down off set I write it's 495 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: a fake handoff from under cent or Wentz throwing left, 496 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: caught Justin Jefferson at the Cleveland thirty five on Greg 497 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: Newsome who singled him. That's a twenty one yard perception 498 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 3: and a first down. And for Justin Jefferson. He now 499 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: has fifty nine receiving yards on four catches. Receivers right, 500 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 3: one to the left Savior Scott to the left of 501 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 3: Carson Wentz. Great drop throws one over the middle that 502 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: Jefferson caught at the forty five ooh, Hetty almost spun 503 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 3: clear for a seventy five yard touchdown, but a Brown 504 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: saved the day for the home team. That's still a 505 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 3: first down for the Vikings to the thirty six yard 506 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: line and it's a thirty nine yard connection Wentz to 507 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson and Paul. 508 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 4: That is the definition of a fifty to fifty ball. 509 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: He had a defender right in his face. He's getting 510 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 4: ready to be hit by Mason Graham. He just let 511 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 4: that thing fly. And what a job by Justin Jefferson 512 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: to go up and make that ball his. 513 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 3: Wench shotgun first down throws right and midwot by Justin 514 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 3: Jefferson twenty six on Denzel Ward and that reception was spectacular. 515 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: It's what he does and it should never be taken 516 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: for granted. I know we've had a lot of celebration 517 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: regarding the Wild's ability to get the long term extension 518 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: done with caprisof and what did we say as soon 519 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: as that became official, Honeymoon's over. Great. We celebrate it 520 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: for this afternoon. We'll congratulate Bill garn for this afternoon. 521 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: But starting tomorrow you're on the clock. You have to 522 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: and that means taking full advantage of what that sort 523 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: of rare talent offers you, maximizing and what does maximizing mean. Well, 524 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: at the highest end, it means winning a title. Short 525 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: of that, it means making some playoff runs. And I 526 00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: think the same applies for JJ last night, or I 527 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: guess you'd just say yesterday morning, our time seven catches 528 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three yards along or thirty eight, 529 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: which you heard targeted eleven times. He was brilliant and 530 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: it's what I do love about him. He does not 531 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: He's got that athletic arrogance about I don't care how 532 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: many people you have around me, I'm going to make 533 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: the play. He runs in just ridiculous routes and was 534 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: very key. I'm hardened to hear that he's going to 535 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: try to be a little bit more frontal with his 536 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 1: teammate Jordan Addison about you know, staying on a straighter 537 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: line and not missing a walk through, which still stuns me. 538 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: Obviously Addison had the late catch for the title or 539 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: for the for the victory. But time, the clock's running 540 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: on JJ. And even if you think JJ McCarthy can 541 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: be the long term quarterback that helps him make runs, 542 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: you got to be right, and you want it to 543 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: happen fast during these key glory years for Justin Jefferson. 544 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: Now he said it again, he in those sound in 545 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: that SoundBite, he doesn't care who's throwing the ball. So 546 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: far he is not belly ached about instability at the 547 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: quarterback position. How long would that continue? I don't know, 548 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: but a remarkable player. And when you got remarkable players, 549 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: the one thing you don't want to do is waste 550 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: their talent. And so that's the job of Koc I 551 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: know in his vision. That's why he says we had 552 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: to do the McCarthy JJ McCarthy move because we think 553 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: his talent can help us maximize on what JJ has 554 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: to offer. But that has not happened yet and there's 555 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: no guarantee it's going to. But it needs to because 556 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: as good a player as he is, as much of 557 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: a gamer as he is, as much as that term 558 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: is overused. This guy's he's got it burns in him, man, 559 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: But it burns in I think in the right way 560 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: where he doesn't generally come off as a whiny sort 561 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: of you know what, do we think of a lot 562 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: of wide receivers, high maintenance, always about them, even though 563 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: they say it's not about them. He just seems like 564 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: a hell of a football player. And he had a 565 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: very productive and very helpful game. Let's briefly also get 566 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: to I call this one, this is the underrated one 567 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: in my view. I call this the dufus factor. Never 568 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: underestimate the importance of the Dufus factor to helping your 569 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: team win and the other team lose. 570 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 3: Snapped the bevorcaz mcbrush left hand, left foot at punch, 571 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 3: bounces inside the five, tapped at the one and downed 572 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 3: at touching. Nope, touchback. Wow, that was close. Wonderful play 573 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 3: by the Browns. But then the guy who fell on it, 574 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 3: Rex Rex Soonahara the long snapper. Only Alvid the long 575 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 3: snapper get down there fast. He his right foot went 576 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 3: into the end zone, I believe, and thus it will 577 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: be a touchback, but maybe under review. 578 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: That's McMillan. 579 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 4: I believe that was it just took a swing at 580 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 4: the ball and able to and just hit it back 581 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 4: yet into play. So what a brilliant play by him. 582 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 4: His foot did slide into the. 583 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: End zone, so. 584 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 4: That's a bit of a break. Well, you got an 585 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: opportunity here for the defense to step up again. He 586 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 4: had a rookie quarterback, Dylan Gabriel. I would expect Cleveland 587 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 4: to keep this thing somewhere in between the hash marks. 588 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 4: Maybe all his throws at the outside had been very 589 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 4: well off the mark. 590 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: So well, said Pete. 591 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: We'll see the vikings going Nickel three corners in Okuda, 592 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 3: Murphy Junior and Isaiah Rodgers on third and eleven from 593 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 3: the forty, Dylan Gabriel out of the shotgun, takes the 594 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 3: snap and the left he throws aimlessly and it goes 595 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 3: out of bounds. I say a bond the intended receiver. 596 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 3: So that didn't take much time off the clock. In fact, 597 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 3: three seconds timeouts. I think the whole operation took ten 598 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 3: maybe twelve seconds. 599 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: So two Dufus factor angles there. Let's start with the 600 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: the end of that piece of sound that guards you 601 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: put together for me. I actually agreed with the TV 602 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: commentator and what Bursus just said, well, TV guys said, 603 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: even though it's third and long, run the ball because 604 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: you got to make the Vikings take their last time out, 605 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: even if it means you're going to give the ball back, 606 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: because realistically you're going to give the ball back anyway 607 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: because you can't throw outside. And that was Bursus's point. 608 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: So what they try to do throw outside and it 609 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: wasn't even close, so you know it would it have mattered, 610 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe not the way the Vikings were moving, but based 611 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: on the way the brown were passing, there's no way 612 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: you do anything but hand the ball off again and maybe, 613 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: if you're lucky, you break it because their running game 614 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: had been good until it wasn't. The other dufus factor 615 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: is underrated. And I heard Ron Johnson talk about it 616 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: on Vikings wine line after the game, and it was 617 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: the long snapper, Rex Sunahara. I think I don't know 618 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: if that's how if I'm pronouncing that name correctly, explain 619 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: as and Ron asked the same question, what is it 620 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: about the Special Team's goofballs that on a ball that 621 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: has stopped or about to stop, this clown comes springing forward, 622 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: jumping up over the top to land on the ball 623 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 1: as if to say, I'm going to make sure it's 624 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: not moving. I'm going to celebrate this moment, because guess 625 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: what happens when you do that. You're going fifty two 626 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: miles an hour and you're a long snapper. You're gonna 627 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: slide into the end zone? You dope? And he was. 628 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: It was close. He almost held it together, but the 629 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: call was right. Again, maybe it wouldn't have mattered because 630 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anything particularly bad happened to the Vikings 631 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: on that drive, but or anything good. But if you're 632 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: starting at the one inch line or the one yard line, 633 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: who's to say, maybe another Vikings fumble, maybe a pick, 634 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: maybe a sack in the end zone, maybe a holding 635 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: call in the end zone. And if you're Cleveland, you 636 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: need safeties, you need block kicks as they got against 637 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: your team, and you need, say, you need the defense 638 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: to score as much as possible. As it is, they 639 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: did their job to the degree that they forced to 640 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: turn takeaways. But you'll it's unfailing how the guy, I 641 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: guess it is so excited in that situation on special 642 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: teams about getting down there and landing on the ball. 643 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: No one ever's I assume maybe someone does say to 644 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: him what he should should say to himself. I'm going 645 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: really fast by my standards. I'm gonna have a hard 646 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: time stopping my momentum. It's not like if I jump 647 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: onto the ball, I'm not going to slide. I'm going 648 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: too fast. And we see it over and over again. 649 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: The ball had already there were a couple of other 650 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: Browns players around it. It had stopped, It was stopping it. 651 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: It was in no danger of rolling back towards the 652 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: end zone. So don't never underestimate the Dufust factor on 653 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,760 Speaker 1: its ability to contribute in such generous ways to the condition. 654 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,240 Speaker 1: After yesterday's game, or during yesterday's game for your Minnesota 655 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: Vikings as well, we got more Vikings talking points. We 656 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: might even get to one of them with the Johnny Athletic. 657 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the top of the hour. Let me 658 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: remind you of the rest of the schedule lead or 659 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: much later in the four and then Mike Conley, to 660 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 1: Timberwol's point guard, is going to join us in studio 661 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 1: between five and five thirty. So we look forward to 662 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: sort of re establishing our relationship with Mike Conley. It's 663 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: been ongoing for a while. It's been fruitful, I thing 664 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: for both parties, and we're going to continue to use 665 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: him throughout this season as well, hopefully with him being 666 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: in a key role. That's one of the things we're 667 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: going to talk about. He knows the situation, he knows 668 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: there are people who are waiting to see a change 669 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: at the position. He thinks he's still got some basketball 670 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: to play, and I know he's got a lot to 671 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 1: say about that and maybe even about some other players 672 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: on the team as well. So that'll be coming up 673 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: between I think five and five thirty as well. We 674 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: will get to the There was another controversy that I 675 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: missed totally regarding the rekered missed field goal, which at 676 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: the time I knew absolutely nothing about. And we're going 677 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: to get into some other National Football League notes as well. 678 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 1: There are no unbeatens left, correct. The Eagles beaten late 679 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: tremendous fourth quarter in Philly by the Denver Broncos. They 680 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: come from behind and win, including the two point decision 681 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: by Guardsy's favorite National Football League head coach out in Denver, 682 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: a very successful move that helped Denver win it. And 683 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: then last night in a game I was in and 684 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: out of Actually, the Buffalo Bills are unseated from the 685 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: undefeated category by New England Patriots. New England Patriots finally 686 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: win a game that people are going to pay attention to. 687 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: It's been a while. Also, did you see what happened 688 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: to Belichick again Saturday? They got routed. I don't remember 689 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: who they played. Was it thirty I think it ended 690 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: up being thirty five or thirty eight to ten? It 691 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: was thirty five to three with like about they scored 692 00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: a late garbage touchdown thirty eight to ten thirty They're 693 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: a mess, man. I mean, I've tried to stand tall 694 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: for Belly and so you got to give him time 695 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: and why have people rooting against him? But it just 696 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: looks like utter and complete. It's an utter and complete 697 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: disaster for a coaching legend in Chapel Hill. All the fanfare, 698 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: all the money, all the resources poured into that thing, 699 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: and it does not look like he's got any idea 700 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: how to coach a football team. Dan. The fact that 701 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski has more Coach of the Year Wars and 702 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,479 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is preposterous. He's over chead with bad teams twice. 703 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: The rest of his career has been mediocre worse well, 704 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: his defense. He has one defense, and that is he's 705 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 1: been very unlucky at the quarterback position, obviously in Cleveland 706 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: with the injuries of the Deshaun Watson situation. But there 707 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 1: is something preposterous about that. Maybe it's because Stefansie's in 708 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: better shape, and maybe people they don't even know they're 709 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: doing it, they hold it against Andy Reid that he 710 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: doesn't carve out that miss thick Is it visage or 711 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: vice age on the sidelines the way all the perfectly 712 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: conditioned coaches, like your coach, like koc like the RAMS 713 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: coach tend to do. 714 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 4: Is that? 715 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 3: Is it? 716 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it's held against and been held against Andy Reid 717 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: that he's not in perfect shape. I have absolutely no idea. Uh, 718 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: let's talk more vikings and some other stuff with our 719 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: guy Johnny Athletic.
