48
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: courtesy of Northern Fire, So let's get the good stuff

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: rolling right now. And here is Nordo with talkback option,

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: New Morono.

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: So yesterday I was on X Ladies and Gentlemen, and

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: I saw a gentleman from Barstool by the name of

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: Brandon Walker, and he posted on X I don't know

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: Brandon then.

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Just out of the nature of it, I got respect

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: for Brandon.

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: But he posted this on X, I need examples of

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: a US city with at least three pro sports team

59
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: teams where the NHL team is top two in fandom.

60
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: City.

61
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: Again, he needs examples of a US city with at

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: least three pro sports teams where the NHL team is

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: top two in fandom. So you mentioned Detroit, DC and Tampa, etc. Yeah,

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: but he also posted some guys said Minnesota, I.

65
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Think the Twins are bigger than the while.

66
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: So simply enough, if a talk back option for you

67
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: on a Talker Tuesday with the tastiest talkback.

68
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Gift card on the line.

69
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: M H, I like that which means more a Stanley

70
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: or Alario O'Brien. We know the vite, we know NFL,

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: we know football always wins. All of that which means

72
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: more a Stanley or a lario'brien talkback free. iHeartRadio app

73
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: on a Wednesday or a Tuesday.

74
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: Rather give us the goods talkback option number two or

75
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: so says us. And it involves the slumping Minnesota Timberwolves.

76
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: They host Phoenix tonight and the Sons played at Boston

77
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: last night, so it's absolutely advantageous our beloved Hal get

78
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: those Sons off a game at Boston and against Tatum

79
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: and Brown. Yeah, I might have beaten them up a

80
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: little bit. These Suns lost last evening. Booker went for

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: forty and they are two games behind Minnesota. For the PAM,

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: the pam, the PAM play in avoidance mode.

83
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I always love that one.

84
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: Fans of the Hell, fans of the helle Ging, of

85
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: the roofs, and everybody else, please submit talkbacks identifying what's

86
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: ailing our squad. Gotta get tonight, need to get tonight,

87
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: and got to get tonight with Anthony Edwards not.

88
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: In the equation, ladies and gentlemen.

89
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is out for Tonight's big spot game against

90
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns. By the way, anybody anybody here Johnny

91
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Athletic and his smart basketball takes with Bumper to Bumper yesterday,

92
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: I did, I did.

93
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: I did.

94
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Barrero supports Io Desumu starting, and I'm absolutely in that camp.

95
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: I guess I hadn't really thought about it as I

96
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: was watching that Sunday game against OKAC, thinking, I mean,

97
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Dante Divincenzo's playing.

98
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Really well right now.

99
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: Mike Conley's seen his better days, but he's Mike Conley

100
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: and he's the absolute bomb. This team needs an identifiable

101
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: point guard. I guess I hadn't really thought it out, like, hey,

102
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: what about Io? Barrero was kind of loud about it too,

103
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: and I liked it supporting Io Desumo starting, and.

104
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: Is the idea that he's going to handle the ball

105
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: so much more and take it out of Ant's hands.

106
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: In some regard, h.

107
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: It's it would be a true point guard playing the

108
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: true point guard position, whether that's less up and down

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: the court as a point for Edwards or Dante DiVincenzo.

110
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: But the Devincenzo is the key here because you can't

111
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: sit Dante, as Johnny Athletics stated, because of how well

112
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: he's playing. So you sit McDaniels right, I mean, you

113
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: sit Jaden McDaniels right. With respect. I mean he's having

114
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: a really, really rough time of it right now. He

115
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: was excellent March first to Denver in that victory, but

116
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: it was a road victory too. But since I mean

117
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: he had an over nine against Orlando. Five of eight

118
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: games this month he has gone oh for whatever from

119
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: three and overall in March is just three for twenty

120
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: two from beyond the arc, Yeah, defense up and down

121
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 2: of late two. They need a true point guard running

122
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: the show, So why not Io at the one, de

123
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Vincenzo at the two, Edwards at the three with Randall

124
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: and Gobert. I mean, Julius Randall is a point forward,

125
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: so he could play power forward. And then he got

126
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: Stifel Tower. That's a talk back special with that lineup.

127
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: If you want Chris finch joins Friday NCI Finchy on

128
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: a Friday Friday, Well think about this. When OKC pressured

129
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: Dante Sunday and they got really hot. He had his

130
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: orchestrating the offense. And that's okay because he's done fine

131
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: as a point guard this year, and I like how

132
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: Dante is playing and plays. But the little snapshot we

133
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: got of those high pressure situations when the game was

134
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: flipping and there were some problems. Conley can't play big

135
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: minutes anymore. Dosumo Dosumu isn't a great score by any stretch,

136
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: but he's a true point guard who knows how to

137
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: get out of jams. And Io is fast, so maybe

138
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: they'll play with more pace if he cracked the starting five.

139
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: Who knows, I don't know it spitballing here, but they

140
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: need to win tonight sans ant and opening.

141
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they're still favored.

142
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: And opening three on that disease playing bit with three

143
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: to go with thirteen to go, that is that'd be

144
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: really cool. So it's a sneaky big one tonight. They've

145
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: been pining. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been pining for a

146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: point since they whiffed on Dilly a couple of drafts ago.

147
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: That was the tell taking Dilly, and Okay, it didn't

148
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: work and Dilly's now a bull, but that was the tell,

149
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: super high draft pick point guard we need a point.

150
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: So as the Talkback Talker Tuesday goes with a Northern

151
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Fire prize to be delivered at the end of the

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: radio show, identify what's wrong with our wolves on this

153
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: Talkback Talker Tuesday, this is your chance to how.

154
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: And finally, hey, there, So we've been talking about free agency.

155
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: We got some Kyler bitch coming up, what's next for

156
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings, all of those things. But at this

157
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: stage of free agency, are the Bears just the thing?

158
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: Are the Bears the class and the toast of the

159
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: NFC North?

160
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: And is that going to continue?

161
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: They add Khalif Raymond, oh Ma, you've worried about Khalif,

162
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: Garrett Bradberry, Devin Bush, Kobe Bryant off the champions Seahawks squad.

163
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: Or do you believe that the Lions, the Lions still

164
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: got it in them? The Lions after an injury plague

165
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, they find an answer at center in

166
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: Cade Mays watch out with this Giovanni Manu cat on

167
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: the left tackle side. But the kiddies returning the prominence

168
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: in the North. Or you are just so absolutely worried

169
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: and are losing sleep over the combination of an eventually healthy.

170
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons and Javon Hargrave manning the middle for the

171
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: hated Green and Gold, who indeed is the toast of

172
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: the NFC North Who do you fear most? In the

173
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: NFC North Talkbacks. They're free and you might get a

174
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: gift card out of the deal. Your best thirty seconds

175
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: via the free iHeartRadio app and we will play them

176
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: throughout the show.

177
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody short changing Khalif Raymond. Ryan Tannehill is the

178
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: quarterback for Tennessee. It is second down for the Titans,

179
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: just underway. I formation play action Tannehill with a deep

180
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: shot to the left side and Raymond behind a corner

181
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: and it's caught at the thirty yard line. Holton Hill

182
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: got beat, and he got beat by the seldomly used

183
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: Khalif Raymond in his third year from holy Cross. It's

184
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: a forty four yard connection.

185
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: Holy Cross, Holy Cow. Because you're a certain Hill reference

186
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: in that highlight.

187
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a whole nil reference in that. It

188
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: was a pandemic related highlight, So you didn't you heard

189
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: the fake crowd noise in there.

190
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: I think I heard like the grass ruston Hill, Holy Cow,

191
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: That's right.

192
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: I thought Khalif Raymon had a touchdown in the game,

193
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: but I can't see him to find said touchdown, so

194
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: it's not a game changer and we move on. Now,

195
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: these suggestions for talkbacks do not have to be the answer.

196
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: Hear us when we tell you that these suggestions do

197
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: not have to be the answer. Nine to Noon is

198
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: thinking of that stuff. But you can hit us with

199
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: whatever your iHeart desires, and if you are so inclined,

200
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: like if the Wild are working on your last right now,

201
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: We've got a Wild Blackhawks game on KFA in this evening,

202
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: and we have a box in the Box Thursday from

203
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: Tria in the Capital City, So anything's in play on

204
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: a talkback talker Tuesday, with your opportunity to house a

205
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: Northern Fire prize available near the end of the radio show.

206
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you talk back? That's what we do at

207
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: F one point three. Kfan Order produces and I'm Paul Allen.

208
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: That's all courtesy of timber Tech and TimberTech dot Com.

209
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: What's on deck nine to noon includes some bikes bites

210
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: coming up next on nine to noon via kfan.

211
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Vikes Bites.

212
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: Nine to Noon LIOL offseason doesn't happen every single day.

213
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: But I mean, frankly, we could just frame up the

214
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: Kyler comvos and the Kyler cuts and the Kyler conundrum

215
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 3: and the free agent bits. All that, one way or

216
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: another has been a Vikings bite or a Vikings nibble,

217
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: and I have a few for you here this morning

218
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 3: non to noon, now, Pa. Before we get to there,

219
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: was this piece via Sports Illustrated Monday Morning quarterback Albert Breer.

220
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: He kind of he chronicled really in pretty nice and

221
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: scinc fashion, Kyler Murray's decision to join the Minnesota Vikings.

222
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: So we dig that, and we're going to dig into it.

223
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: But this announced yesterday, I believe Adam Thielen and CJ.

224
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: Hamm will be doing joint retirement press conferences tomorrow afternoon,

225
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: and Egan Thursday, excuse me, Thursday. Adam's first nine seasons

226
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: here a couple in Carolina has the sadly the unceremonious

227
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: stretch here last season before finishing with the Steelers sixty

228
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: seven hundred receiving yards and fifty receiving tds.

229
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: I think he had a rushing touchdown in there somewhere

230
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: as well. But CJ.

231
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: Ham of course, all nine of his years with the

232
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 3: Purple eight total. TDS loved him every chance we got

233
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: to see him. Special Teams, demon past protector. Maybe part

234
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: of the free agent and moving forward conversation for this

235
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: year's incarnation and the Purple. But we're going to get

236
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: to see both of them and hear from both of

237
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: them on the stage on Thursday, and it sounds like

238
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: it'll be a pretty fun party down there at TCL.

239
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Bastions of football excellence.

240
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Both able to walk away from the game the way

241
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: they want to walk away from the game, and they

242
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: will have a lot of gratitude to be shared Thursday.

243
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: To this Albert Breer piece, Pa, it caught your eye.

244
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: I had mentioned a couple of nuggets in it to

245
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: you yesterday off air that I thought were quite interesting, man,

246
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: and I'm.

247
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: Glad you did that. It's the Monday morning quarterback bit

248
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: that Peter King used to do. Yeah, and with respect,

249
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know Albert Breer was doing it.

250
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know like he kept it alive.

251
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: But when you when you mentioned that to me yesterday,

252
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: I mean that thing was chalk full of league wide

253
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: fantastic nuggets.

254
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: It did, and it was and it is and why

255
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: I focused mostly on on the Viking side of things.

256
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: But let's start with this with this journey. First of all,

257
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: by the way, follow Albert Brier and Albert Breer b

258
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: R E E R. But the thing that hit me

259
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: right off the top, PA, you ever had the parlor

260
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: burger in Minneapolis?

261
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I believe I have. Where would you get it?

262
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: Well, there's a spot on Washington. They also, I think

263
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: have a food truck.

264
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: That's right. I think I had it from a food truck.

265
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: No.

266
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: I mean the reason I'm bringing this up, if you

267
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: read the piece starts out Breer does talking about how

268
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: they Kyler Murray celebrating the various benchmark moments in his life. Well,

269
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: it sounds like he celebrated closing the deal with the

270
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: Vikings by going to gett a parlor burger.

271
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's brisket, it's Ribbi's ground chuck.

272
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: That's nice, it's all mixed together, it's melted white American.

273
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: It's a freaking egg bun. It's simple, and it's amazing,

274
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: the parlor burger. But to this end, learning about how

275
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: things ended up finalizing themselves in Arizona, the crux isn't

276
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six money, PA, It's clear that it was.

277
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty seven were kind of just floating around.

278
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: It's just, you know, Kyler, lack of winning potentially in

279
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: big spots. Only one playoff game and it was mildly

280
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: disastrous against the Rams in twenty twenty one. But the

281
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: good times and the bad times, all the breakdowns that

282
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: we've done in the last week or so about Kyler

283
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: and what it would look like when if he comes here,

284
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: and now that he is here, what are we going

285
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: to get? Well, it's still kind of scratching. It's like,

286
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: this team's paying you thirty five million to go away.

287
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: That's odd. And he's been there for two coach firings. Now,

288
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: this is kind of chronicled in Breers piece. Well, one

289
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: thing I didn't dig deeply enough into and this is

290
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: just my fault. Nineteen and a half million of his

291
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: money in twenty twenty seven would have been guaranteed had

292
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: he stayed on the roster at the beginning of the year,

293
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: and so general manager Monte Austin fort It's one of

294
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: those moves kind of like with with Bill Garon maybe

295
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: in the in the Suitor Peisey buyouts. It looks ugly

296
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: and there's pain associated with the move. But he quote

297
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: unquote in Garon's case, inherited the contracts of one Parisian suitor,

298
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: and Monti asin Fort inherited the contract of Kyler Murray.

299
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: Steve Steve Kayin was the GM who gave a JOHM.

300
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: That's I was looking for because Bidwell's the owner, right yep, Yeah,

301
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 3: Bidwell's the owner, So that appears to be And they

302
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 3: couldn't trade him. They tried to lead it up right

303
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: to the eleventh hour, couldn't get rid of them via trade,

304
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: couldn't find a pick. Obviously, any team that traded for

305
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: him would have had to figure out that guaranteed money

306
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 3: as well.

307
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: And so here we are.

308
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: But by the time it was announced that he was

309
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: getting cut PA, they had already basically pegged Minnesota as

310
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: the prime spot. And I found I found this aspect

311
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 3: of it to be kind of interesting. So I'm reading

312
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 3: from Albert Bereers piece Monday Morning Quarterback. By then, by

313
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: the time he was released, Murray and his agent Eric Burkhardt,

314
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: had identified as Minnesota far and away his best option,

315
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: with the plan here being to prioritize winning signed the

316
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: one year deal. As we know, it's a minimum, so

317
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: the financials not that complicated. Hope for a long term

318
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: landing spot, whether it be his twenty twenty sixth spot

319
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: or twenty twenty seven.

320
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Well, what's interesting here.

321
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: As part of it, they'd come up with the idea

322
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: to do zooms with teams that might not have an

323
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: interest in twenty twenty six but could in twenty twenty

324
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: seven PA to take advantage, as it's written here, the

325
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: fleeting Freedom Murray would have to do so.

326
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: But then in the very next paragraph things wound up

327
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: moving too fast for that. Does that imply that he

328
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: didn't do the zooms? Because I don't know if you

329
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: remember this.

330
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: Prior to him signing in the news breaking and us

331
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: getting after it on Friday, it's kind of like hold

332
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: on here, so he's coming here to meet with us,

333
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: but he's already so future focused, Like is he hanging

334
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: out down in Texas doing a zoom with the rams?

335
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: Right?

336
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: The rams and the kind of the idea, would he

337
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: be a backup in La with the with the presumed

338
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: idea that maybe Stafford it's one last ride, walk off

339
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: into the sunset, and then he just takes over in

340
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: La with McVeigh. That's not a bad option, right, But

341
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: apparently these zooms may not have taken place. He came

342
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: off the field from a workout in Texas, agent's phone

343
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: started buzzing.

344
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Viking's call came quickly.

345
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: It was Briz and it was Kevin O'Connell and they

346
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: got him on a plane to Minneapolis.

347
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: Now, when he got here, he met with KO one

348
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: on one.

349
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: Then he met with Josh McCown West Phillips and assistant

350
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: OC Jordan Trailer for various meetings throughout the day prior

351
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: to signing ink on paper.

352
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: I wonder how deep they get in those meetings.

353
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: In terms of intel, in terms of scheme, in terms of.

354
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: What this could look like. What is the on.

355
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: Murray to speak freely about what he can do in

356
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: XYZ system. I'd love to be a fly on the

357
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 3: wall for those sorts of conversations.

358
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: If you take the twenty minutes teams get with rookies

359
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: at the JW. Marriott in Indianapolis of the combine, and

360
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: I think multiply or add to the intensity and the

361
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: pointed nature of the questions and extend it some. I

362
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: think it would be like that because the commitment and

363
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: you're making may not be that of the massive financial

364
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 2: variety in this situation, but it may be down the road.

365
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: So therefore, when you bring somebody in, you want to

366
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: make sure they fit with what you're doing here. I

367
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 2: can't imagine a meeting like that would have ten of

368
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: ten love this love this love this love this love

369
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: this right. I mean, it's O'Connell is so well prepared

370
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: and he's so small that they're just I mean, there

371
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: had to be a couple of what were you thinking here?

372
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: What was going on here? What was the read here?

373
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: You know?

374
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: Like I am Chase Daniel, a former quarterback in the NFL.

375
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: He has a YouTube channel where he breaks down film

376
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: on players. I spent fifteen minutes this morning watching the

377
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: submission that he put together recently on Kyler Murray in

378
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: a game against the La Rams, I think the second

379
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: game of the season. And there are some other worldly

380
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: things that you know, a first overall picking in any

381
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: draft can do.

382
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: Now that you know a lot of it was bally hood.

383
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: And glorified, there's the other side of the equation which

384
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: coaches are going to know about, and there are so

385
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: many different things that that teams will know about when

386
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: they're bringing somebody in forget the deal one and one.

387
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: It's a quarterback in the National Football League. So I

388
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: bet you the questions were pointed, but enough to get

389
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 2: to the equation of everybody available right now, and then

390
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: you factor price tag into it because we're bawling on

391
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: a budget. Accuracy and arm strength both there. Then as

392
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: a staff, we'll take care of the rest.

393
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting as a side you mentioned the financials.

394
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the simplicity of it, giving that

395
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: the Cardinals are paying the bill. I mean, how nice

396
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 3: is that. Yeah, I'll take a Core's light then you hear, hey,

397
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: drinks on me. I'll take a glass of mccallun eighteen.

398
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 3: Place you can, you can get a lot for thirty five,

399
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: you know, when somebody else is paying the tab. But

400
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: to that end, I had seen some reporting done that

401
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: maybe they had flirted with a second year, and I

402
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: think I think that is interesting because we've talked about that, PA.

403
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Where why would Kyler sign to a multi year deal

404
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: when he can use this as a launch pad. But clearly,

405
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: you know it was on the team. It was on

406
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: the team's mind. Where man, if we can get him

407
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 3: for one point three this year and then lock them

408
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: in to avoid the utter rat race that is expected

409
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 3: to unveil its self a year from now. That would

410
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: have been an extra w for the team, So at

411
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: least they flirted with the idea of maybe trying to

412
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: get a second year mixed in there.

413
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: If the reporting is accurate, I mean, if there's a

414
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: difference between you know, flirting or pushing for we will

415
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: do this. If you do this, I mean it doesn't

416
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: hurt to ask. You don't create the poison pill and

417
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: shake up the league without asking the tough questions. So

418
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: I mean you can ask.

419
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: It could have been, hey, hey, what do you think

420
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: about a two year deal?

421
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: No?

422
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: Just one? Okay, well then then we're fine.

423
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, that technically would be a mode of flirtation, which

424
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: means that leads to a report, which means that leads

425
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: to a part of Ike's bites, which means to land

426
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: the plane on the whole thing.

427
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: If Kyler Murray.

428
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: And his representation said yeah, we'll come there and play,

429
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: but there will be no franchise tag in twenty twenty seven,

430
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 2: there was I mean, if you asked the question, I mean,

431
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: I guess you kind of got to ask it.

432
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: But no, that wasn't what's happening now.

433
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 3: I don't read into that any anywhere beyond just he

434
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: wants the ability to sign a long term deal somewhere

435
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 3: based on how he performs this year, because I've seen

436
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: kind of the well, the only it's a no tag

437
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: clause and it's just a one year deal because they

438
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: still want the flexibility with JJ McCarthy moving forward as well.

439
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: I honestly, I don't think McCarthy plays into that conversation

440
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: at all, do you.

441
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: None, No, no, And I think in that Breer piece

442
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: somewhere and I you know, I didn't. I can't recall

443
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 2: exactly where it is. So I'm playing off something that

444
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: I saw in passing.

445
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: It might be the interesting nugget at the bottom of

446
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 3: the article, and it was why don't you share? Yeah,

447
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: And this is one of the final paragraphs before they

448
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: before they left TCO to eat that parlor burger, Breer writes,

449
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: And while Murray still has to win the job. For McCarthy,

450
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: what O'Connell said to Murray did stick with him, that

451
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: he was the one guy on the market that they

452
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: could see as a potent actial long range answer rather

453
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: than a one year band aid Bingo.

454
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: The idea of growing with.

455
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: Jefferson and Addison, Darisaw and O'Connell and his staff. Oh my,

456
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: was already wildly attractive to begin with, the chance to

457
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: perhaps put down roots only made it more so.

458
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: This this and then they ate a burger.

459
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: The the really the first player that caught my eye

460
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: in free agency a month ago former Niners receiver Juwan Jennings. Yeah,

461
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: and I've mentioned it multiple times and including last week,

462
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: where it's like, from what I've learned, Juwan Jennings and

463
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: his representation with their request, I'm not gonna say it's outlandish,

464
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: but they're shooting for the moon and they're like, hey,

465
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: Deebo left, you had all these problems with Ayuk and

466
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: Kittle went down, and then we got this Tonguistan just

467
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: you know who had some good moments, and of course

468
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: we got we got Christian McCaffery. But during all through

469
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: all that, Juwan Jennings was always available, and Juwan Jennings

470
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: came through as a pass catcher. Okay, Juwan Jennings can

471
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: run routes and catch passes. It's his leadership, his physicality

472
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: and his smarts for how to play the overall game.

473
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: He fits so beautifully here with Addison and Jefferson.

474
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: But we're balling on a budget.

475
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know exactly what Juwan Jennings requests are,

476
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: but I know he's still on the street and we're

477
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: deeply into the second wave of free agency now, so

478
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: we might come back with those. I'm just merely stressing,

479
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: even though I don't think it's going to happen, how

480
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: great it would be to have that type of player

481
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: on this team now that Kyler Murray might be your quarterback.

482
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: Well, and that brings me kind of to my final

483
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: vikebite is per spot Rack. So this is why it's

484
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: so confusing, and I'm just not even going to try

485
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: to dig too deeply into it, persbot Rack. Vike's have

486
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: fourteen million in cap space over the cap says five,

487
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: so there's some there's a nine million dollar gap there

488
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: in one site is either missing something or added something,

489
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: et cetera.

490
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: So we got to figure out what lies in that divide.

491
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: But Brian O'Neil still into the final year of his

492
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: deal and he's going to get paid twenty three million dollars.

493
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: Is there any extension on the horizon or a lever

494
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: that could be pulled to try and free up some

495
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: more cash because you know, you like the idea.

496
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Okay, we added a corner into the mix. That's cool.

497
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: We got the QB.

498
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: QB has been, you know, kind of the the obviously

499
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: the loudest and the biggest talker of all of it

500
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: here in Minnesota. But it feels like Rob and company

501
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: are still working behind the scenes. Their steam is kind

502
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: of settled on Jonathan Grenard and the idea of trading him,

503
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: which I just kind of want them to get the money, right.

504
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: I like Grenard on this team and I'd like to

505
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: keep him.

506
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: Say, but whether it's it's the fat guy in the middle,

507
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: it's the third wide receiver, Juwan Jennings, this just doesn't

508
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: feel like a finished product for mister Brazinski and uh.

509
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: And they'll bring in a veteran receiver. I mean it's

510
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you got Ty Felton two. But it's when

511
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: when you when you bring in Kyler, you bring back

512
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, and you have Jefferson and Addison where they

513
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: are in their careers, it just seems like there will

514
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 2: be a veteran receiver to join the Minnesota Vikings. But

515
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings is a veteran receiver. He just happens to

516
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: cost a lot more than I ever thought Juwan Jennings

517
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: will cost. I'm not the only one who recognizes this

518
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: is a superme fit for the way the Vikings are

519
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: orchestrated with Murray into twenty twenty six, they'll have a

520
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: veteran receiver.

521
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I just don't know who it is.

522
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: Well and the I don't know if you saw the

523
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: news yesterday, but Christian Kirk came off that list of available.

524
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: We had talked a bit about him, their their connection

525
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: and everything. I mean, you start looking at this list,

526
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: my man, I mean, Brandon Cooks is out there?

527
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: Who's sign Kirk? Tyler Lockett? I gotta find it. It's

528
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: right on the tip of my tongue. That's all right.

529
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: Was it a lot of money?

530
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: I was like one year and six ish million dollars

531
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: here and it was with the Niners.

532
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was six million. Okay here, Juwan

533
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: ain't going back to the Niners.

534
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: The deal is for up to six million dollars. Yeah. Yeah.

535
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: And outside of.

536
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: The the best friendship Christian Kirk and Kyler Murray are

537
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: best friends and they have been since college when they

538
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: played together. Then they played together in Arizona. Kyler played

539
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: a lot into Christian Kirk getting a life changing deal.

540
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: Kirk played a lot into Kyler Murray getting a life

541
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: changing deal. Christian Kirk is faster than Juwan Jennings. I'm

542
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: taking Juwan Jennings for the twenty twenty six Vikings ten

543
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: of ten times, yeah, over Christian Kirk. I mean it's

544
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: I know, run blocking for wide receivers is not the

545
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 2: sexiest talker in the history of talkers. But when you

546
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: have a quarterback who is a running quarterback, he's not

547
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: the quarterback who can run. He is a runner, and

548
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 2: he runs like the wind and he's really good at it.

549
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: Walking down fields kind of important. So Juwan Jennings, man,

550
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: I just hope if he lowered his stuff and we

551
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: were able to get him here while balling on a budget,

552
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: that would make my day.

553
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: Well it's not just that, but Greg Greg Dortch is available.

554
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 3: That's that's the interesting thing about moving forward. We always

555
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: we always kind of joked about it balling on a

556
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: budget that the names were not going to necessarily bowl

557
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 3: us over, but maybe they could play a part. I mean,

558
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 3: Juwan's in the mix. You can grab thirty four year

559
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: old DeAndre Hopkins. Deebo is a free agent, Curtis Samuel

560
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: is a free agent.

561
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: Stefan's a free agent. Just joking on that one.

562
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: But otherwise you're digging into like the Tim Patricks, the Hunter, Renfros,

563
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 3: the Braxton barrios Is. Did you Smith Schuster so names

564
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: like that, Tyler Lockett? Yeah, Uh, it's just did Dante Pettis?

565
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: I think he's a former Niner as well. Who were

566
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: the first four you mentioned? Well, I just I was

567
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: just rattling off names with Brandon Cooks for instance, not him.

568
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: You said, somebody in there who I.

569
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: Like dors DeAndre Hopkins, Uh, not Ca Daryl Hodge, probably

570
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Zay Jones, Tim Patrick, let me see Deebo.

571
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: Yep, Debo and Johnny Paul, Deebo, Samuel, Deebo, n Chaefani,

572
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 2: Johnny Poul scores the goals.

573
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't mint. I mean Debo with all these injuries.

574
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

575
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: He wasn't the fastest thing in the in the world

576
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: in the first place. No, But I'm thinking Smart's toughness

577
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: and position flexibility. Yeah, and playing with the team that

578
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: that would be better than the team for which he

579
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: played last year. So and I can't believe Deebo would

580
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: cost that much. It's Juwan Jennings or bust for yours truly.

581
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings ill available as free agency continues on That's

582
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: Vikes Bites presented by absolutely nobody but cool piece by

583
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: Albert Breer. Some things going around locally and still some

584
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: work to do for Rob Razinski in the Purple and Egan.

585
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: Good job with that.

586
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: When Nine to Noon continues, we skate on over to

587
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: the NHL with a covenant ketchup. The young man's name

588
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: is Oliver Moore. He's a centerman for the Chicago Blackhawks.

589
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: The dreaded Stars hurt him. We can change ago. It's

590
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: a twenty one year old Oliver Moore's on the sideline

591
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: right now to Tino Grace Motsco's Gophers and Chicago Blackhawks.

592
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: The Wild and Blackhawks play this evening on KFAM. Executed

593
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: a covenant ketchup with Oliver Moore, and you'll hear it

594
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: next via nine to Noon on KFAM. All right, Nine

595
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: to Noon continues at them one hundred three k F

596
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: A n and I got to know Oliver Moore last

597
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: season when he played for Motsco's Gophers, and he'd help

598
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: us with some bus ride drive bys. Now, sadly Oliver

599
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: got hurt against the addreaded Dallas Stars a week and

600
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: change ago, But before that, in his first full NHL season,

601
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: it happened to be going quite well for Oliver Moore

602
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: in the Chicago Blackhawks and the wilder at the Hawks

603
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: tonight on k F a M and the Tatino Grace

604
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: product joins us. Now, how are things, Buddy? Sorry about

605
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: the injury, but other than that, how have you been Oliver?

606
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: No, I've been great, Pa, Thanks for having me on.

607
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 5: It's always a pleasure coming on here. I remember the

608
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 5: bus ride last year were a lot of fun.

609
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: But I've been great.

610
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 5: It's been fun to watch, I mean a couple of

611
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 5: games our teams played here. Obviously, sucks to take the injury,

612
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 5: but you know, like you said, I think it was

613
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 5: a step forward this year for everyone here, and that's

614
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 5: been a lot of fun.

615
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like last year when you got there and

616
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: played a handful of games, maybe a little more than that.

617
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that had to be a whirlwind. Right then

618
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: you get an off season, a training camp, you head

619
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: into the season, you know you're playing a fair amount

620
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: of minutes. So I mean it seems from afar Oliver,

621
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: like you really feel like you're part of it.

Speaker 5: two years there, I don't think we score a goal,

680
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: which is crazy. I scored this year, but I didn't

Speaker 5: and the Hawks and and all that.

699
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,320

700
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 5: Different when he's not in the room with a bunch

701
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 5: of young guys anymore. But yeah, uh yeah, I mean

Speaker 6: just like the kind of guy he is and type

708
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 6: of person to a family man and someone I think.

709
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 4: The Wild they're gonna it's gonna love having for sure.

710

719
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: twenty one years of age. This is absolutely fantastic. And

720
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: you guys, you guys have played the Wild twice this year.

721
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: You played in both games and lost both four to

722
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: three in overtime. When when when you played on the

723
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: road at the Wild Grand Casino Arena for the first time,

724
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: What was that like?

725
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: It was?

726
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 5: It was, sir, honestly, I remember just warm ups.

727
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: It was. It's just weird.

728
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 5: You know, you go, you're watching it into your whole

729
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: life and then yeah, I mean it was it was

730
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 5: a dream come true for sure, but definitely definitely really weird.

731
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 5: It took me, took me up peer so that he

732
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 5: adjusted just that. I feel like it's.

733
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: More than any other road game for sure.

734
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 5: I mean Wild, they're obviously, like I said, my my

735
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 5: hometown team, my team growing up, me and my buddy's

736
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 5: always watched and stuff. So yeah, I mean I got

737
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 5: adjusted to it, and then it's not like a normal game.

738
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 5: But it took a little bit more longer than usual

739
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 5: for sure.

740
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: Hey, let me let me back up a couple of

741
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 2: minutes to that that amazing twenty first birthday game winning goal.

742
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: Did you win the fight? And who did you fight?

743
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: Oh? I don't even I shouldn't even brought off the

744
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 4: fight too.

745
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, it wasn't.

746
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't good for me.

747
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 5: Oh jeez, I thought Alexander u Chiskin, he's a rookie,

748
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 5: he's like twenty four.

749
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 4: He's a Russian, So yeah, not didn't go off for me.

750
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: I think he's like six.

751
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 5: Three, like two ten or so, ohis team I'm I'm

752
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 5: five to eleven and all of like one nineties.

753
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 4: So yeah, he got the best.

754
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 6: Of me for sure.

755
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 4: But I mean it was it was a.

756
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 5: Moment in the game where I had to stick up

757
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: for a teammate. It felt like, and we did some momentum.

758
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 5: So I mean, I don't know if that's that's my

759
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 5: calling card. P I don't think I'm gonna be able

760
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 5: to okay, drop them very very more often.

761
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: But you know when the time comes to try.

762
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, my brother, you lost that battle,

763
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 2: but you won the war with the shootout. You won

764
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: the game and got the two points.

765
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 6: How yeah you can say that.

766
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 2: How how often does your family get to Blackhawks games?

767
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: Pretty often?

768
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I think they've probably come down four

769
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 5: or five.

770
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 4: Times this year.

771
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 6: Just it's tough with uh, my sister and a senior in.

772
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 5: High school and now she's actually on her senior trip,

773
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,480

774
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 5: trying to enjoy that.

775
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 4: Time with them too. But yeah, I mean pretty often.

776
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: I mean it was it was obviously awesome when we

777
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 4: played the Wild and easy for them, But yeah.

778
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: How Oliver More of Chicago Blackhawks, how how hard is

779
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: it to consistently win face offs in the NHL?

780
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 5: Very very difficult, I'd said, I think it's like one

781
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 5: of the bigger adjustments for sure.

782
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot that goes into it that

783
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 4: he didn't really go.

784
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 6: Just I think I think the importance.

785
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 5: Of having good relationship with the line has been a

786
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 5: huge honestly for like winning jobs and stuff, try to

787
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 5: get a little extra something. But that yea, like every

788
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 5: every little detail matters, and everything matters.

789
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: But there's some big boys. I mean, you're going Swiggy's

790
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 4: obviously a face off guy, Michael Mccaerron there at the Wild, big.

791
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 6: Face off guy, Eric Snak, huge face off guys.

792
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 5: So I think there's guys who that's their job and

793
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 5: that's what they gotta do to.

794
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: Help their team. So oh yeah, it just goes a

795
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: big adjustment for sure.

796
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: What what's it like playing with Connor Bedard and and

797
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: what makes him special?

798
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's great.

799
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 5: I mean it's he feels like another teammate I've had.

800
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 6: Obviously, the things he does on the.

801
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 4: Ice is special.

802
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 5: But I've got to know him pretty well here just

803
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 5: the last the last couple of months as a guy too,

804
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 5: and I think that's what makes him.

805
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 4: He's a great guy.

806
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 5: Definitely doesn't let the hype get to him or anything

807
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 5: like that, super humble kid. And yeah, I mean he's

808
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 5: he's a good friend, So I think it's great to

809
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 5: be around and obviously special what he's going to do

810
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 5: for the Blackhawks and the next Hoberm many years.

811
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: I think it's exciting times.

812
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are so young, man, and you've got

813
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: them some super young talent on the horizon. We'll talk

814
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: about one of them momentarily. And you just got to

815
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 2: get experience. And I I loved what you said about

816
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 2: the face offs in the NHL and even at age

817
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: twenty one or twenty, man, you know, getting in with

818
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: that linesman, because that's only going to help you, not

819
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: only now, but the rest of your career. Let me

820
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: ask you this, how in the Stars game, how did

821
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: you get hurt? And how bad is it?

822
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can say how bad it is.

823
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: It's been got it.

824
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 5: I don't know what I could say about that. But

825
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: I just was going on the foe check and kind

826
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 5: of yeah, I.

827
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 6: Mean I was kind of first man in.

828
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 4: And then Blackwell was behind me a little bit.

829
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 6: Han shoulders shoulder with me, and he.

830
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 4: Just bumped bumped a little bit.

831
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 6: I kind of lost an edge.

832
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 5: Of my ankles went right right first into the boards there,

833
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 5: so I took the blow. And then I mean, it's

834
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: not it's not extremely bad.

835
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 4: It's not gonna check flake.

836
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I've got check or anything like that.

837
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 4: But uh no, I mean there's no unfortunate wish.

838
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 6: I wish I was playing these games, especially coming up against.

839
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 5: The wild and stuff, but right, yeah, it's uh. I

840
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 5: think I can learn a lot watching too and take

841
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 5: stuff from that.

842
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: You know what I gotta.

843
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't know who it is, but I got a

844
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: credit the leader of your media relations team, even a

845
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: twenty one.

846
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: They're raising you well. Brother.

847
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 4: They didn't say anything.

848
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 5: I just don't even know whether I can because they

849
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 5: haven't said anything.

850
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 6: So it's like, I don't even know.

851
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: Well that's exactly why.

852
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 2: So I mean, hey, you know, being talented's one thing,

853
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: being smart to another. Put those two things together. It

854
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: sounds like fifteen to twenty years in the NHL for

855
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 2: Oliver More. You up, you're very good at what you do,

856
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 2: but you're also a fan of the game. So have

857
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 2: you have you either last year when you were twenty

858
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: or this year when you're twenty and twenty one, have

859
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 2: you played against anybody where you were like wow, that wow,

860
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: that's so and so then you had to snap out

861
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: of it because you had to play the game.

862
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I think there's a couple of guys.

863
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like there's a couple of guys.

864
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 6: Obviously Carroll is one of them.

865
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 5: Just watching him, I mean, not growing up like he

866
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 5: came yep, well like three, four or five years ago,

867
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 5: but obviously like what he's talking about, what I've washington

868
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 5: do before I was drafted with the Blackhawks.

869
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 4: I mean, he's someone who looked up to.

870
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 5: McDavid was a big one for me, I feel like though,

871
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 5: just because I was legit, Like, I mean, I loved

872
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 5: him growing up. I loved watching the much tried to

873
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 5: play like him in beams and high school and all that.

874
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think he was probably a big one

875
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 4: for me where I was like, wow.

876
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 1: Have you won any many?

877
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 4: Danced me?

878
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: So well? What happened? I mean, just like a patent died.

879
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: McDavid move, Yeah.

880
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 6: I mean it was like a yeah, kind of said

881
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 6: say that.

882
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: All right?

883
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,600

Speaker 2: Have you have you taken any or many face offs

887
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: against Nathan McKinnon?

888
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 6: I took a yeah, saying a couple staying a couple,

889
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 6: how they go.

890
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you've gotten me a couple of times.

891
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,919

892
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 6: of tin too, but.

893
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh nothing, I don't.

894
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 6: Think I've taken like a ton again.

895
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,479
Speaker 2: So all right, I mean you're twenty one years of age,

896
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: you're what five eleven one ninety, so I mean you ever,

897
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: you're you're going to grow. Okay, you're gonna grow and

898
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna get bigger. But like when you watch McDavid,

899
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: McKinnon some of these other guys on TV, and then

900
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 2: you're in the circle opposite Nathan McKinnon, and he's so big.

901
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: Like the first time you saw him in person for

902
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: a draw, I mean you had to be like, holy

903
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 2: col you're bigger than I thought on TV.

904
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit.

905
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 5: I mean that's the thing with those guys, are they

906
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 5: like look big too, right, Like when you're on the

907
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 5: icing instum, they're they're straw and they definitely have that

908
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 5: like man strength that I'm still developing. So yeah, I

909
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 5: mean from watching on TV, I mean when you're in

910
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 5: the game.

911
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 4: Like, you can't you can't like be like, oh, shoot, that's.

912
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 5: Nathan McKinnon because you got to play too, yep, and

913
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 5: he's just another opponent.

914
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, I mean it is. It's cool.

915
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 5: I think that's a that's what you wanted hockey. You

916
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 5: want to play against the best and and do that.

917
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 4: So it's fun for sure.

918
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 2: What Oliver, what, what's it like living in Chicago such

919
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: a cool city.

920
00:46:58,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing.

921
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 6: I just I'm renting an apartment out here now.

922
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's a cool time I think for Chicago

923
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 5: sports as well, and in just the city. Obviously it's

924
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 5: great restaurants and stuff. But yeah, it's it's amazing. It's

925
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 5: definitely a big adjustment from Dinky Town.

926
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 2: Time for two more, Do you know Mason West from

927
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: a dine up like you? He was a first round

928
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: picked by the Blackhawks and he has nineteen points in

929
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: thirty games for the Fargo Force, so he's in the system.

930
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: Do you know Mason at all?

931
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 5: I don't know him too well, like personally, honestly, I

932
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 5: haven't got a chance to meet him or anything like that,

933
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 5: just because he was a will the younger I did

934
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 5: and could see him at death.

935
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 6: Camp and then I just run into him growing up.

936
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 4: But I've obviously heard great things. I thought it was pretty.

937
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 6: Cool that he went back for another year of football too.

938
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 5: And then won the state championship and then he's the

939
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 5: first round pick. I mean, he's got it going for

940
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 5: him for sure, and I think it's exciting, just like

941
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 5: the young prospects too, and with the Blackhawks and stuff,

942
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 5: it's you know, hopefully guys like him, well we'll come

943
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 5: in to make an impact too.

944
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: With you Badard and so many others.

945
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: Man, you guys have so much young talent in that system,

946
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: you know, it has to be exciting and and you

947
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: rending that apartment in the city of Chicago, and you

948
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 2: being a Minnesota Vikings fan, it I mean it had

949
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: to be kind of difficult with the Bears and and

950
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: how good they were this year, right.

951
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was.

952
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: It was weird honestly because I found myself on the

953
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 5: couch with a couple of boys cheering for the Bears

954
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 5: when in that game when Caleb threw.

955
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 4: That crazy path or whatever.

956
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 5: But it's also at the same time, like, at heart,

957
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 5: I'm always a Vikings fan, and uh yeah, I mean

958
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be great with Kyler Murray coming in.

959
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 4: Him and JJ probably can have some competition.

960
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 5: But no, I think it's it's weird. It is because

961
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 5: I'm a Vikings fan at heart, But you don't want to,

962
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 5: you know, just completely get rid of them and go

963
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 5: for the Bears.

964
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to hop on that fund leg and quite.

965
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 2: Yet, no, man, And you got to too many years

966
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: of Minnesota Viking's heartbreak related equity. So if they if

967
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: they do something really really well, you've got to be

968
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: there for it for sure. And and you mentioned Kyler Murray. Yeah, okay,

969
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: say he starts this year. Uh, Kyler can be a

970
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: very exciting player.

971
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 4: Have you.

972
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Have you been a fan from Afar?

973
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Washington and Arizona a little bit for sure.

974
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

975
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 4: I think that.

976
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 5: He's like you said, I think he's got a lot

977
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 5: of talent and he can he can throw the ball obviously,

978
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 5: so he's had.

979
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 6: Success there in Arizona too.

980
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 4: I think it's like individually, and we'll see. I think

981
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 4: you could translate obviously, Kevin O'Connor. I mean, you know

982
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 4: more than I do. But yeah, we'll see.

983

Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, man, fifteen years from now, if
