00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: An average man? Do you realize what it means to

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 4: be average? That means you're the best of the lousiest

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: and the lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand

12

00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: work and maximum effort. If we deify the common man

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones by the

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: end result of such a lopsided race, as that is

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,520

90

91
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: you just why don't you just thumb through some NFL

92
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,599

93
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: I always love.

94
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: That worked well for the Twins. Boy, you know Tenny,

95
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: they say, when it rains at poors, I don't know

96
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: which guy we want to start with a guy guessing.

97
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: This first segment, we just kind of talk about the.

98
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Both of them. Maybe, uh, Fallby was the news that

99
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: broke first. You sent me a uh somebody tweeted it.

100
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: I don't know it was it was it was an

101
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: official Vikings release or Twins released, Yeah, the gleaming one

102
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: and saying that Fallby was out. If Fallby started with

103
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: the team, I think was like twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen.

104
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: I read that.

105
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: I read the piece in the fish Trap Factory west

106
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: Side about you know. I think team went to the

107
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: playoffs like three or four times under Fallby. Actually under

108
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: Folvy they won their very first playoff, not just game

109
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: but series.

110
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: After they they had.

111
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: That string where they were oh of eighteen and then

112
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: they ended up being I think was Toronto and then

113
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: lost to Houston, or they beat Houston, lost Toronto, whatever,

114
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: or it doesn't really matter. It was so long ago.

115
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one, I think is when it happened, maybe

116
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two he kind of brought in along with

117
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: I even was it Thad Levine he left?

118
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: Was it last year?

119
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: I think maybe was a year before that he also

120
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: left the organization And there it.

121
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: Sounds as though the twins are trying.

122
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: To sell this as like a mutual decision, and it

123
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: could be I'm not even saying it's not, you know,

124
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: because it could be one of those things where Tom

125
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: said we're going to do things my way and this

126
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: is how we're going to do them, and Derek said, well,

127
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: if I don't have full autonomy to do what I

128
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: want to do, I'm out.

129
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: Or it could be just you know what you're done

130
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: and we can do it two ways.

131
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: Either we say you're done, we fired you, or you

132
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: can say it was a mutual decision.

133
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: You know, guys sometimes like to have that, so it

134
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter.

135
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I guess knowing the pole ads, they ask them for

136
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: a pay cut.

137
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Hold on, you know, we could we could use a

138
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: feature act.

139
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: You want to do tennis just riped five minutes now,

140
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: it's better.

141
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: Not every bit can be brilliant. I mean, if you

142
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: think I have filler on the show. You should see

143
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: my comedy routine, and you can go to commonmanbook dot

144

00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh boy, no money, no funny.

147
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do a bit like you know, I've

148
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 3: I don't have any you know, I don't like to

149
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: say I've lost my hair. Makes me feel like I'm irresponsible.

150
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: Isaac Whitty brilliant his best bit.

151
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty good bit.

152
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: So uh.

153
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: He kind of brought saber metrics and analytics to this,

154
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: to this franchise, and I've never been a big fan

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: of that.

156
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: We talked about it, you know, well it's a topic.

157
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: You know.

158
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: Me, I don't like to repeat myself much or you

159
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: regurgitate material, So I don't know if we ever really

160
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 3: did talk much about sabermetrics and analytics, but.

161
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: It's there's a place for him.

162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: But I think what it just seemed like the just

163
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: every decision was there was no gut feeling, no just

164
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: passing the eye test saying I like this guy. This

165
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: guy's got a little something extra. It's always sabermetrics. Analytics

166
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: is wars and whips and all those. You know, I

167
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: don't even know how many different sabermetrics, Uh, sabermetrics there are.

168
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: It seems as though there's like thirteen fourteen. In baseball,

169
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: you got war and whip. Those are the first two

170
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: that come to mind. Ops blah blah blah, and I

171
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 3: just never you know, like I've said, there's a place

172
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: for that. You know, I think they can be helpful,

173
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: but I'm still in Uh. Here's another thing you've done

174
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: for me, tenneb You know bananas. You taught me to

175
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: peel bananas correctly. You taught me to use a contact

176
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: list in my phone and a calendar in my phone.

177
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: And you also told me that pay at the pump,

178
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: Pat the pump was another one. And you also told

179
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 3: me that what was the other one he told me

180
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: was baseball related? Here, I forget what it is. You

181
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 3: can't win them all. I think you told me it's

182
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: a marathon, not a spay. Yeah, I think that was

183
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: another one you told me too, But yeah, I so

184
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. I you know, it's again the job.

185
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: They won't have any trouble filling it. There are people

186
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: out there that there are thirty two of those jobs.

187
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: Earth talking about well, we're still talking about fall of

188
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: you right now. Okay, there are thirty two of those

189
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: jobs or thirty? Is there thirty major legue baseball I

190
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: think it's thirty. There are thirty of those jobs out there,

191
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: and there's only one available, and you will have no

192
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: shortage of people that.

193
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: Want that job.

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: And you don't even have to have any baseball experience

195
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: either way, because did Faalby have any baseball experience before that?

196
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: I don't recall that he did other than with Cleveland.

197
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: I think he went straight from did he go to

198
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: Harvard or Yale or Mit or some like that. You

199
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: know he was he was a numbers guy, you know

200
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: that sabermetric stuff, and he was hired in Cleveland, and

201
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 3: then you know that was the I made the joke

202
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: about thumbing through the media guys.

203
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: That's how Jim Pohladd found him. Thumbing through media guys.

204
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: He said, So he goes, yeah, I'm just thumbing through

205
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: media guys. Got to the Cleveland one and I noticed

206
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: this name Derek Falvey. Thought hmmm, Masewell, check this. Because

207
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 3: Falvey wasn't the main guy in Cleveland. I don't think

208
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: at the time he was like an underlean and then

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: all of a sudden he got he got foisted by

210
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: being hired. He was foisted, great word, fisted. He was

211
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: foisted to the top of the list and became the

212
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 3: Twins guy. And so and how much of it's on him,

213
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I still think most of

214
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: it's on ownership. But owners don't fire themselves.

215
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: So in the Twins release today, they wrote, Executive vice

216
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: president general manager Jeremy Zol will continue leading the Twins

217
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: baseball department. Executive chair Tom Pohlad will assume interim oversight

218
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: of the club's business operations. So I don't know if

219
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: that's saying Zola is now the guy or he's the

220
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: guy for now until we find one, like, don't really

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: explain it.

222
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

223
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Well, in the Vikings, their replacement for Quasi is interesting too.

224
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: We can talk about that.

225
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll do that because that's the that's the

226
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: next topic. We'll do that. Well, peak at the Purple

227
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: because that was number one we started where the first

228
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: first news nugget was first announcing that was with a

229
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: fall Vy.

230
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 3: I think with the Vikings, it's like, this is a

231
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: Vikings town, We're a Viking station and.

232
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: I just think.

233
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: Because the twins are so irrelevant, it's worth mentioning and

234
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: talking about.

235
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: But it certainly doesn't have the the weight I.

236
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: Think is and the interest has the Quasy and Opa

237
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: Mensa out as the general managers of the Vikings. We'll

238

Speaker 3: we use it recruited for that. That's the kind of

261
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: things that I think about.

00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920

00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: parted ways with the Twins was released shortly thereafter. Just

300
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: before we got on the air was but one, it

301
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: was announced that Quasi Adopha Mensa has been relieved of

302
00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: his duties as general manager of Assumed Game World champion

303
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. He had just signed a contract extension Tennabe.

304
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: Remember there was a delay on it because both O'Connell

305
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: and Quasi were signed at the same time and they

306
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: were going into there was this did they just finish

307
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: their fourth year? This was the fourth year, right, they

308
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: had five year deals, so the questions was you're going

309
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: to give an extension or not. They gave O'Connell extension

310
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: first and announced that I think it was almost shortly

311
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: after last season ended, if I'm not mistaken, and then

312
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: they waited a while on Quasy, and Quasy was asked

313
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: during different interviews. He goes, I'm not worried about that.

314
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: Things take time, blah blah blah, and then how long

315
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: ago was it? Last few months it was announced that

316
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: Quasy had also signed an extension, and we'd kind of

317
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: caught wind of it here that the Vikings were going

318
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: to make some kind of an announcement, but they had

319
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: not said anything to us yet, and the speculation was

320
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 3: what could it be, right, and when the name, well, yeah,

321
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: there's the let's just face it. The draft picks for

322
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: Quasy have not panned out for the most point, and

323
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: his name came up and then someone here in the

324
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: office said, yeah, but they just signed him to an extension.

325
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: That's a lot of money.

326
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: They're gonna be probably have to write him a check

327
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: for however many years he signed, for sure. But when

328
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 3: you're talking about the kind of money the Wilfs have,

329
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: that's just the price of doing business. Sometimes you make mistakes.

330
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: There was a quote from Quazy. What was the quote

331
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: when they asked him about as you look back on

332
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: letting Darnold go and going to McCarthy said, sometimes you

333
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: wake up in the middle of night wonder and you

334
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: know this could be the call, but wait my whole

335
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: life for I don't remember the exact quote, but it

336
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: was something to the effect of, you know, sometimes you

337
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: wake up, you know, middle of the night when or

338
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: did you make the right decision? Or did you not

339
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: make the right decision? And that's just the way they

340
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: say it goes. But he's been let go, and apparently

341
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: the word is Executive vice president of football Operations Rob Razinski,

342
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: who's always called capologist right. He's the one that handles

343
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: the contract situations as far as juggling the money about.

344
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: You can only spend so much.

345
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: He'll lead the team's decision making through the NFL Draft

346
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: in April. That's according to Mark and Zigmunt Wilf. The

347
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: Vikers will conduct a search for the new GM following

348
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 3: the draft. The Wills wrote in a joint statement. So

349
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 3: maybe they were both writing at the same time. Maybe

350
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: maybe Zigmun's left handed and a serve marks right hand.

351
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: That's why how they were able to write in an

352
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: adjoint statement.

353
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 3: Says, following our annual end of season organizational meetings over

354
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: the last several weeks, and after careful consideration, we decided

355
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: is in the best interests of the team to move

356
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: forward with new leadership of our football operations.

357
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: These decisions are never easy. We are great. Some people

358
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: would say this was an easy.

359
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: One, but these decisions are never easy. We are grateful

360
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: for Quasi's contributions and commitment to the organization over the

361
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 3: past four years and wish him and his family the

362
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: best in the future. Goes on to say, in this

363
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: piece written this is Fisher Rep Factory West.

364
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: It's written by Emily and Ben.

365
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: It says his firing comes the same week he was

366
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: reportedly in Mobile, Alabama with the Memphis Well, he's probably

367
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 3: got the Memphis Blues now stuck inside of Mobile with

368
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: the Memphis Blues again because he was attending the Senior

369
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 3: Bowl on behalf of the Vikings. During his ten year

370
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 3: as GM, the Bikers were criticized for failing to hit

371
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 3: the mark on draft picks. Only two players from Quezy's

372
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: inaugural draft class in twenty twenty two remain with the

373
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: team in twenty twenty five, fifth round running back ty

374
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 3: Chandler and sixth round wide receiver Jaalen Naylor. I don't

375
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: think he just considered difference makers, right, You don't next year,

376
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: you don't look at either of those guys and go.

377
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: Whoa man that was.

378
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: That's that's you know, that's a that was wonderful of

379
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: those guys who really make a difference out of the

380
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 3: football field. And of course the move also comes following

381
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy struggles at starting quarterback this season, which the

382
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: Vikings finished nine and eight, missing the playoffs. And then

383
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: we all know the Darnold story, right, They decided not

384
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: to opt they they're not franchised haag him or re

385
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: sign him. He joined the Seahawks the Vikings, although they

386
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: had pursued Daniel Jones, who'd signed with the team's practice

387
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: squad late in the season. He signed with the Colts,

388
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 3: butofa mensa said of not tagging Arnold in an end

389
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: of season news conference on the thirteenth, I still understand

390
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: why we did what we did. The results maybe didn't

391
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: play out the way we wanted them to, but ultimately

392
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, we would

393
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: have executed better in certain places. And I don't and

394
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: I don't not only say it individually in terms of

395
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: particular player, for just executing better, knowing what the room was,

396
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: play style wise, experience wise, and really put together a

397
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: better combination of people collective in the group.

398
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: Blah blah, blah blah.

399
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: I again will state that I don't know because I'm

400
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: not in those rooms, and I really don't know the

401
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: inner workings of a National Football league hierarchy. I always assume,

402
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: I think there's got to be some truth of this,

403
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: that every decision isn't solely made by the general manager.

404
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: He may be the one that.

405
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: Publicly announces it and has the final word, but I

406
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: think it's especially when you're talking about personnel and such,

407
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: there are conversations between the general manager and the head coach,

408
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe coordinators and other coaching staff as well.

409
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: But it's the old the buck stops here, you know.

410
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: That's what James Madison, former President United States. I think

411
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: it was the fourth president United States. That's what he

412
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 3: said with the buck stops here. And so I have

413
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: no calls with it. I just always thought Quazy took

414
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 3: a little bit too much of the heat. I sort

415
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: of kind of sort of defended Quasy and not in

416
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: a defense that he's doing a great job.

417
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: It should keep his job. It's just like, you know,

418
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: it goes.

419
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: Back to like when everybody was blaming the Vikings failures

420
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: on Ed Donna Tell, Well, it wasn't all Ed Donna tell.

421
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: A lot of it had to do with the person

422
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 3: Oh it's a great chance it's not just Ed Donna tell.

423
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: It might be the personnel, right, and same thing here,

424
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: but Quaise he is, he's Chris Carter said the best

425
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: you gotta have a fall guy, and Quays is the

426
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: fall guy for the Vikings and it is bottom line,

427
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 3: it is on him.

428
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: And the drafts have not been good.

429
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: So it says Brazinski will work it through the draft.

430
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: What that means is Kevin O'Connor will have a complete

431
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: and total control of the draft. Right, everything I mean

432
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: he's he's I don't think Braziinski is going to be

433
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 3: the guy that goes. And maybe will, but I don't

434
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: think Brazilski's you know, he's a he's a salary capologist guy.

435
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: He's not going to go.

436
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: I've decided we're going to take that cornerback from the

437
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: Crimson tie.

438
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to have anything to say

439
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: with it. I don't think to you, I think.

440
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 3: It's going to strictly be whoever, whoever O'Connor, and maybe

441
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: it'll be better that way.

442
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I think through this draft, it's it's Koc's draft.

443
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: It's Koc with input from you know, uh b Flow, Yes,

444
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: you know, for for defensive players. But yeah, that's it.

445
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: It's going to be his draft.

446
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Joc one more input and I think he's getting it here.

447
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: And then we'll see what happens.

448
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: After you are correct, we'll take a break, we'll come back,

449
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: uh talk some more about this.

450
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: The comings and goings at the Goose that laid the

451

Speaker 3: Golden Egg, and the new Winter Park, the TCO Performance Center,

00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: and of course a little beef Haven touch of the program.

453
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: At one did I hear rumors that it's Marnie and.

454
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 3: Creasol Marnies are in the day for a program password

455

Speaker 2: A couple of thirteen fourteen past here in the common

462
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Man program. I'm commed he's tend to be another Viking.

463
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: Note that now kind of pales in comparison with our

464
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: Quazy and Dopher men.

465
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: So have you not heard word? Just tuned in. He

466
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: was believed of his duties today by the Vikings. He

467
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: was fire. He was fire. He was fired.

468
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: Vikings defensive back coach and pass game coordinator Deronte Jones.

469
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: Deronte Jones assigned to.

470
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 3: Be Washington's defensive coordinator, so he'll be moving on. Blake

471
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: Cashman rode on X Washington got a good one, beyond

472
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: happy for DJ. So the Vikings will be looking for

473
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: a defensive backs coach and a pass game coordinator.

474
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: Might be in the building. I don't know. Maybe Quais

475
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: he's got some experience in that regard. I don't know,

476
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: but there is that.

477
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: I can think it's safe to Saint Tanmy. Those will

478
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: be the only two front office people being let go

479
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 3: of the major men's four.

480
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 2: I don't think Bill Garon's going to be let go.

481
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: And I don't think what's.

482
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: Connelly's first name, Tim Tim Conley. I don't think he's

483
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: going anywhere either. Wild win again last night? What did

484
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 3: you say they did? What with the Flames?

485
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: They extinguished the.

486
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

487
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: I get it, extinguished the Flames.

488
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: It seems like the Wolves last night weathered the storm.

489
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: And you know, really, I mean, you know, the Wild

490
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: after after beating the fla after extinguishing the Flames, I'd

491
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: change your nickname to the Minnesota smokey Bears.

492
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: What I sense a humor? I've gotten? So do you?

493
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: They weren't playing with hockey six slaves and they were

494
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: playing with hoses.

495
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Anything. I mean, the Flames are terrible team, terrible city.

496
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: Right, They're not great?

497
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so anything the Wild.

498
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: The Wild didn't play great. Calgary for you know, probably

499
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: two periods of that game outplayed them. Now and the

500
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: shots were pretty lopsided in favor of Calgary for a

501
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: while in that game, though I don't know if the

502
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: possession was as tilted as that. I just think the

503
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: wild we're not shooting the puck last night was the game.

504
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: You could have had wild fans yelling shoot from the crowd,

505
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: and they also didn't, you know.

506
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: Shoot shoot shoot.

507
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: They also didn't have a power play till the very end,

508
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: but they got to it out to an early lead.

509
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: Goaltending was terrific. I thought Gus was extremely good last night,

510
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: not only making the saves, but in the way in

511
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: which he was making the save just seems cool. Calm,

512
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: comfortable and net not giving up rebounds, and the wild

513
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: special teams came through and that's kind of something we

514
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen from them in the playoffs, where they got

515
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: the big power play goal from Boldie when they needed

516
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: at the end when Calgary ad made it a two

517
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: to one game. And they had a bunch of big

518
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: penalty kills last night one night or two nights after

519
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: going five for five the previous game. So PK was good,

520
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: power play was good, goaltending is good. If you have

521
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: those three things going for you, usually you can be

522
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: very competitive in hockey games, and they didn't have their best,

523
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: but I thought John Heyden said it best afterward. They

524
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: can all be picassos.

525
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't, or or monits or renoyers.

526
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 5: Uh.

527
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: Can you look up the word mercury, mercurial, mr, it's

528
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: I think I think there's a couple of definitions. One

529
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: that's a planet and one of the nine planets in

530
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: our solar system.

531
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: Mercurial, mercurial, retrograde.

532
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: Funny you buy mercurio in the definition curio, Uh, changeable, volatile, fickle, flighty, erratic.

533
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: The NBA team in Township be called the Minnesota Mercurials.

534
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: Don't you think I kind of got the idea from

535
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: a different John high Another Highness is Chris Heine.

536
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: He is the.

537
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: Beat writer Fisher Factory West for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and

538
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 3: he said they're very mercurial.

539
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: The Wolves win last night.

540
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: They beat the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder and

541
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: convincing fashion last night one twenty three, one eleven, a

542
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: third victor in a row after losing five. And he

543
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: calls him mercurial because they had that five game losing

544
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: streak where you're wondering what is wrong with this team.

545
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: It's a terrible team in a terrible city, with terrible

546
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: fans in a terrible stadium. Then they win a couple

547
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: of games that were very winnable against you know, lesser competition,

548
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: and then they I guess they jack themselves up for

549
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City and they they win the game. I do

550
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: as I start by little Wolves thinger, I do need

551
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: to offer an apologyp to a friend and a former

552
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: co worker of mine, Chad Hertman. I like to chide

553
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: Chad about when he was the Wolves play by play guy.

554
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 3: When he would be traveling, he would sometimes go, I

555
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: don't even know what city I'm in, you know, because said,

556
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: the travels just so hard bouncing. You know, you're on

557
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: that West Coast grind. You just don't know what city?

558
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: Or I used to think that, would you know? I

559
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: like to make fun, Come on, you know what city.

560
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: This is the beginning of the story in the Fisher

561
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: of the gamer, NBA schedules nonstops. You might forgive some

562
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: Timberrels players for not remembering when certain games are moments

563
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: happening in the course of a season. Nazried said, Honestly,

564
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: I forget the day of the week. Hartman just forgot

565
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: what city he's in. Nas Reed doesn't even know what

566
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: day of the week it is. Jaden McDaniel said, what

567
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: happened Sunday?

568
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: We lost? He didn't even remember what happened in the

569
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: last game.

570
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: That means he would have flunked concussion protocol if he

571
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: was in the NFL, right, because we learned yesterday. They

572
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: do Maddox questioning or maddox or whatever it was called,

573
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: where they say, where are we playing, what's the score?

574
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: Who'd you play last week? He doesn't know who they

575
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: played in their last game. Anthony Edwards said, who do

576
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: we play?

577
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: Sunday? We lost to them.

578
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: You're supposed to have a short memory too, they say, hey,

579
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 3: ten of you right when you lose a game, if

580
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: you're a professional or collegiate sports, high school, whatever, Yeah,

581
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: that a short memory. I've always thought you remember those

582
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: things because for those who forget history, they're doomed to

583
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: repeat it.

584
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: I think that was Ben Franklin who said that.

585
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: He also said a penny save it ain't worth very

586
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: much anymore, and he also said.

587
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: There's nothing more to pray than a man in the

588
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: depths of an ether. Binge. Wolve's got a couple of

589
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 2: standing ovations last night.

590
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: They played so well, it says, in order to beat

591
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: the Thunder, teams typically need contributions up and down the roster,

592
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: and they did. Read McDaniels. Reid went six for ten

593
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: eighteen points. McDaniels worked both sides of the floor twenty

594
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: one points on five for five shooting edwards at twenty

595
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: six points, nine of seventeen. Rudy Gobert fourteen points and

596
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: ten boards. Chris Finch said, I have this thing where

597
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: we talk about rock bottom and you think you're at

598
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: rock bottom and until you help, get help and realize

599
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 3: there's always another rock bottom, and there really is. With

600
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: this Wolve's team, it seems like you think you've gotten

601
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: to the bottom and then there's another bottom.

602
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: He says, because people always think, oh, you know, this is.

603
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: As bad as it gets, and then if you don't

604
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: address it internally, then it gets worse.

605
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 2: And I think the guy stood up.

606
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: We had conversation after the game that gain, you know,

607
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: the one they their last game, he said, and the

608
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: guys responded in a very.

609
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: Professional way.

610
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: And you know, my complaint all along has been you know,

611
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: I talked to my one of my golfing basketball friends,

612
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: and he said, you're really gonna wet blanket, the biggest

613
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: win in the regular season win. Yeah. I can always

614
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: find a way to win blanket. I mean, it's nice

615
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: to win. It's nice to beat the defending champs. But

616
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: as Hind writes, he says the Wolves remain as mercurial

617
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: as ever. After losing five in a row, they have

618
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: now in three consecutive games in Jane. If January has

619
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: shown anything about the Wolves is that they are capable

620
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: of big swings in their quality of play. Some of

621
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: their best and worst basketball has come in the month,

622
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: not that far apart from each other. The Wolves defense

623
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: was back, and it usually regains fue when Edwards dedicates

624
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: himself to that end of the floor and he realizes it.

625
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: But he's realized that before he's toil. This is the

626
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: frustrating part.

627
00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Here's the quote.

628
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: Man, I think it just starts with me on the

629
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: defensive end. Like if I'm guarding at a high level,

630
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: I think everybody's going to do it. So I just

631
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: got to make my mind up and choose to do it,

632
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: which is, like I said, it's always tough.

633
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: But I got to figure out a way to do it.

634
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: I just look at that quote and I think to myself,

635
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: so I just got to make up my mind and

636
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: choose to do it. So as as the game is starting.

637
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: Does he go, how do I want to play defense today?

638
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: Or do I not want to play defense today? I

639
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: just can't make up my mind.

640
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: Maybe I should flip a coin, Maybe I should do

641
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: rock paper scissors, Maybe I should play a game a

642
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: horse with somebody before the game.

643
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: What do you mean you have to make it.

644
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: You have to choose if you want to play defense.

645
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: Doesn't that just come part and parcel with playing basketball now?

646
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: Heine says.

647
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: You know, the Beat writer says it's tough because of

648
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 3: all the efforts Edwards expends on the offensive end. Okay,

649
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: get so he's playing it. But I just looked at

650
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: the offensive numbers for these other players. It looks like

651
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 3: Jade McDaniel contributed mightily offense. So did go Bear, so

652
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: did nas. So they're playing both ends of the floor.

653
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: Game in and game out.

654
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: And I know there's more on Edward's plate because he's

655
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: the team leader. He's a top five player in the league.

656
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: But I don't know how you just can't decide to

657
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: come out and play defense, you know. And it goes

658
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: back to I keep bringing up this quote about at

659
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: the beginning of the season when they got off to

660
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: such a lousy start. He said, just seems like we

661
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: don't want to really want to play these regular season

662
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: games right now. And so you know what, I'll turn that,

663
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: you know, if you want me to do the wet blanket.

664
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: Maybe Oklahoma City felt last night they didn't want to

665
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: play a regular season game either. Yeah, maybe they just

666
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: decided we're not going to give it all we have.

667
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: And so my.

668
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: Message that I sent out my text to my dear

669
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: friend and that I've talked about in the radio many times,

670
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: beat Oklahoma City in a seven game series and get

671
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: back to me. Now, it's nice to win that game,

672
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: and it's nice to flex your muscles, and it goes

673
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: to show.

674
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: You they do have it in them.

675
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: Though I don't know what Oklahoma City's effort level was,

676
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: because apparently they don't always have the right effort level.

677
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: But it's nice and it's it's what you're just trying

678
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: to stack. When you're just trying to stack in jail,

679
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: stack in jail. The gel and I don't think I

680
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: think that can come and go, as we've seen here

681
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: in the month of January, but it least stacked as

682
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: many wins as you can to because even though they

683
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: proved a team can go from a six seed and

684
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: get to the Western Conference finals, I still think the

685
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: higher the seed, the better your chances, because yes, yes,

686
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 3: exactly right.

687
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: We're playing games so and they're only half a game

688
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: up and right now they're in the five spot, but

689
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: they're only half game up on seven seed Phoenix.

690
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 2: But yeah, so this is nice. So I'm not trying

691
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: to wet blanket.

692
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: It's just like I've just come to realize the regular

693
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: season while it's meaningful obviously, because that's how you qualify

694
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: for postseason play. We go into every season probably in

695
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: all the sports, but it seems like basketball more than

696
00:34:59,440 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: any of them.

697
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: You kind of.

698
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: Get an idea there's always that there can be a

699
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 3: surprise team. I'm not suggesting there's not, but you can

700
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: kind of go, well, these are the eight teams from

701
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: though you could probably pick ten teams in the West

702
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: and say I got the eight, I'll get eight of them.

703
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: I can name the eight teams that are going to

704
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: make and I might miss one both from the Eastern

705
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: and Western conferences. So and then the only way that

706
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: changes if there is like four Golden State now with

707
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: with buckets out for the year because of the knee injury,

708
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 3: my guess is Golden State probably falls by the wayside. Now,

709
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: maybe that bottom half of the West is so bad,

710
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: Golden State still has enough with Steph and the other members,

711
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: you know, Draymond and the other players, maybe they still

712
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 3: have enough that can squeak out an eight seed or

713
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: get into the play in thing and get that.

714
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, I mean they're seven up by the

715
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: eleven set, right, So but you.

716
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: If I think without but even with Butler, the chances

717
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 3: of Golden State getting to the to the NBA Final

718
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 3: was probably not very good. And now I mean, it's

719
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: it seems like it's it's almost impossible. So here's a

720
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: text that me now bringing me into it, would ants

721
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: defense be comparable to your show prep. It's it's that.

722
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: Can you look up the word misnomer? She was my

723
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: third grade teacher, miss nomer misnomer, M I S n

724
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: O M E R misnomer.

725
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: Tell me what the definition is if I'm using the word.

726
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: Problem misnomer, misnomer, a misapplied or inappropriate name or designation,

727
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: an error in naming a person or thing.

728
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that I don't show prep. I mean, and I

729
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: played the bit there's nobody that preps harder for their show.

730
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: Living My life is my show prep. The other day

731
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: after I stumbled across the story about about the you know,

732
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: the athletic did there you know anonymity? Uh a postseason

733
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 3: you know they're they're they're off season whatever they call me.

734
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: You know where they talk to the guys about have

735
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: you ever tried to hide a concussion? And you can

736
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: tell us anonymously? Right then I actually looked up what

737
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 3: is I actually had to google and search and read

738
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: what actually.

739
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 2: Goes into that concussion test. So there was some show

740
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: prep put into that, trust me.

741
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: So anyway, this one says, I only watched the second

742
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: half of the thunder. We're playing hard, our d was suffocating.

743
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: Wish we would see this more often? Yeah, I mean, okay, so, uh,

744
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: let's say you were getting the old college try out

745
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: of Oklahoma City.

746
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: If the defense was suffocating.

747
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why the defense can't be suffocating more often,

748
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: but I guess it's just human nature. That's the way

749
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: it works, and Ant says it starts with him. So

750
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: as long as he continues to say he's got to

751
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: decide what to do before each game, because that's what

752
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 3: he basically said. He just doesn't know what to do,

753
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: he says, So I just got to make my mind

754
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: up and choose to do it, which is like I said,

755
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: it's always tough, but I got to figure out a

756
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 3: way to do it.

757
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: Is it that complicated? I don't know. And I love Ant,

758
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: we all do. He's our best.

759
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: You know. We we've we've we've got well with the

760
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: addition of Quinn.

761
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: Now we have a handful of superstar players in this town.

762
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 3: We've got Aunt, Caprice softened Quinn. And uh, I mean

763
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 3: the twins, Jefferson and Jefferson. You know, I don't think

764
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: the Twins. I just don't think Buxton is in that

765
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: category right now. Last year he played really well. But

766
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: so those are your guys, and uh, but I just

767
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 3: wished and and you know, maybe come postseason when they

768
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 3: want to that's that's what will happen there.

769
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: But anyway, Aunt might just mean like a Randy Moss

770
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: play when I want to guy, right, yeap regardless of

771
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: how they're doing the regular season, I'll feel like they

772
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: have a shot in the postseason because that's just when Yes,

773
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: I think he just cares more much. Yeah, and he's

774
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: not alone in not thinking of the NBA. No, you're right,

775
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: it's the league that does load management.

776
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: You know.

777
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: It seems like once every week or two with their

778
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: roster that they had to build a fake NBA Cup

779
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: type tournament just to get people interested in the regular

780
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: season because their players aren't interested in the regular season.

781
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 3: This is actually more accurate. This is what I should

782
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: have went with it, which I would have thought of this.

783
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: Cheffro Mono solo says, your show prep and Anthony Edwards

784
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 3: prepper no comparison. People actually expect something out of the

785
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 3: Timberwolves occasionally, they don't expect anything on me. You don't

786
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: expect any Do you expect show prep out of me

787
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 3: after all these years?

788
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: Of course not. And this one's even more board.

789
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: I need to see digital digital digital content of common

790
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: making a real cheese sandwich above a toaster.

791
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: I forgot to do that. Yeah, you gotta do that.

792
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 2: I'll do that over the weekend. I did send out

793
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: I want to go. I did send out another dish

794
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 2: rack uh.

795
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: Sculpture today and I called it elegance. Deuce actually named it.

796
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: You know, he works from home on Fridays, and I said,

797
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: look what I've done, and he goes elegance, and.

798
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: I said, it's exactly what it is. So I got

799
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 2: that on my comment on Twitter.

800
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: If that one drammed your Twitter come out, I don't

801
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: know what that's.

802
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: That's exactly right before we go to break and welcome,

803
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: it'll be uh a femine to such of the program. Uh.

804
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 3: Most people are aware Derek Falvey no longer. Somebody sent

805
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: Derek Folk is no longer the general manager, whatever's title was, president,

806
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 3: whatever's title was with the Twins. Someone said that Bonus

807
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 3: was talking about that, you know, because I said, it's

808
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 3: been it's been called a mutual decision in the.

809
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: Release, and I it certainly could be.

810
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 3: I just said, we don't know for sure, you know,

811
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: because oftentimes you'll see in these front office shakeups where

812
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 3: it's like, hey, you want to say we're gonna you go.

813
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: If you want to say face, you can resign. It

814
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: sounds better we've mutually parted ways. A Bonus probably said

815
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: it's possible that.

816
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: And I wish I could try that. Maybe I should

817
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: have done the.

818
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 5: What are you?

819
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh?

820
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 3: Here?

821
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: It is right here.

822
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 3: It says the way Bone has made it sound is

823
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: that Falvey may have wanted out because of Saint Peter leaving,

824
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: the decrease in payroll, the sell off last year, et cetera.

825
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't what he signed up for. That could very

826
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: well be. I just don't know why it would take

827
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: you so long? Why now? And not right out? Yeah?

828
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: Time is even odd with Quay, Yeah right, like you

829
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: could have done it right after the season was over.

830
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: Right, and same with him with Fallvey?

831
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 3: You know, like what happened to make you because it

832
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 3: says they sat down together and talked about the future,

833
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: and maybe they did maybe part of that. We're not

834
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: gonna know what that conversation was, but maybe with Fallby

835
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: saying are we going to up the payroll at all?

836
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we going to do with this?

837
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: And what maybe Tom whatever vision the pole ads have

838
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: for the franch guys didn't didn't didn't set well with him.

839
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: And look, I I would a decrease in a payroll

840
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: to sell off last year, Saint Peter leaving, that probably

841
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: wasn't what he signed up for. So maybe I'm sure

842
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: he's I mean, I don't know if he's made enough

843
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 3: money you get to the grave food, but I'm sure

844
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 3: he's made a he's made a nice living in the

845
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 3: past few years.

846
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: Somebody wants to do that.

847
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: The other news today, Quasi Adolpha mensa Uh was shown

848
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 3: the door over at the New Winter Party CEO Performance Center.

849
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: Word has it that.

850
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: He that Robert Zinski, the capologists with the Vikings will

851
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: kind of take over those duties through the draft and

852
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: then they'll take a search for someone to replace Quasy,

853
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 3: which at Tenneby and I, you know, because we're like

854
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: Sherlock Holmes and Jim Rockford were detectives, leads us to

855
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 3: believe that the entire draft going to be left up

856
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: to Kevin O'Connell, I would think, and then we'll see

857
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean, the Vikings. That's that's got to be why.

858
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 3: That's it's got to be the number one reason it

859
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 3: might be. There might be several, but the number one

860
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 3: reason I would think is that the drafts just haven't

861
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 3: panned out.

862
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: Someone sent me a text tend.

863
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: To be saying, do you think it's possible that with

864
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: old Sam Donald has an arm Ei eio making it

865
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 3: to the big game.

866
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: That was the last straw for the Wolfs could be sure.

867
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't know they could say, because you know, if

868
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: you'll remember what I was saying when when when Donald left,

869
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 3: I said, well, I thought the whole idea was to

870
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 3: find a franchise quarterback, and this guy looks like one.

871
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 3: After going fourteen and three, I was like, why are

872
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: you letting them out of the building? But they did,

873
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe maybe the Wolves are thinking the

874
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: same way, going, well, why did we let this guy

875
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: go with what he's done? I mean, especially now since

876
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: the way he played in that NFC Championship game. I mean,

877
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: he's just receiving all sorts of rave reviews and compliments

878
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 3: and just league wide, right, I mean basically saying Sam's

879
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: arrived and couldn't happen to a nicer guy and all

880
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: that stuff like that. So yeah, does look doesn't look

881
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 3: good for Viking personnel decisions. But you know, then someone

882
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: else sent you know, we're always wondering, you know, the

883
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: selection of the you know, the draft itself.

884
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: From every position, including McCarthy, was was that more of.

885
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 3: A quazy thing or an O'Connell thing, and we might

886
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 3: learn a little bit more as we go forward. Now,

887
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: what will the Vikings do in the draft? Well, we've

888
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 3: heard there's it's not a deep draft for quarterbacks. But

889
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: will they still will they draft somebody? Will they go

890
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: out and try to find it not just a veteran

891
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 3: that you know, is just strictly a backup like a stitty, or.

892
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: Do they actually go out and get a guy.

893
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 3: To you know, to say, hey, you've got a chance

894
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 3: to win the starting job here. Or do they make

895
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: a blockbuster trade? Right, I mean, we'll find out more

896
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: about that. Let's pause and uh when we come back

897
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 3: a little bit, if I have in touch of the

898
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: program right here in the Common Man Program along with

899
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 3: Tennebee here on the fan
