I think, no, it 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But Denver's here Saturday night, and that's I'm 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: glad they have a you know, they have a quality 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: opponent to play at home. Yeah, he's uh, he just 49 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: keeps getting better and better the way he can manufacture 50 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: shots and people draped all over him. And you know, 51 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: he knows how to over his body in a way 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: for a big man like that to draw lots of falls, 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: which is his credit. I mean, he's he knows what 54 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: he's doing time and time again. But he's got he's got, 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: he's got everything. He's got the whole game, full package. 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of the Okay he was boring. Okay, 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: he just ran the Lakers off the court last night. 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: The Lakers are you know, they didn't look like they 59 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: belong in the same plan. 60 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: Well, that's because the thunder. We talked about it yesterday. 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: They are the epitome of professionalism. 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: They are. 63 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: They treat every game as if it's a game seven. 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: They play hard start to finish, they play defense, they 65 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: wrote take ten players. They're unselfish, and they play defense. 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: That's the way you're supposed to play. Other teams should 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: look towards the thunder. See, this is what we strive 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: to be. One o their note on Joker, you know, 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: because you talked about, you know, back to back for. 70 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: The Wolves, Well, it doesn't really matter what you what 71 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: you bring it up. Everybody does. They always want to 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, all I have back to back. Joker was 73 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: playing the second night of a back to back last night. 74 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: Just say, you know, just everybody knows that. 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: Playing on the second night of a back to back, 76 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: he put up the numbers that we just passed along 77 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: to you, and he scored twenty five of Denver's first 78 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: thirty nine points in the first quarter. So this should 79 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: just hopefully be another further evidence that those of you 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: in the basketball community that want to whether it's fans 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: or media, maybe players themselves that want to make the 82 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: excuse of. 83 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: Owing back to back nights. 84 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: And we had to travel across the country and we 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: had an elevation change in my body clock, and I said, okay, 86 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: didn't seem to hurt Joe. 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of players actually get enjoyed getting 88 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: into a rhythm. I mean, I think if anything wrong 89 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: with you. You know, had but three or four days. 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: I think had some practice days, which doesn't hurt because 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: you don't get many of those in the course of 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the regular season. But it's just another example, I mean, 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: Denver's nine and two of just how impossibly tough the 94 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: Western Conference is. You said, Okay, sees twelve and one, 95 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Denver's nine and two. The Spurs are look like they're 96 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: going to be in it for the long haul if 97 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: they stay healthy. You know, they are eight and three. 98 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: Houston's a good team. The Lakers and the Timberls are 99 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: pretty much matched up. Eight and four, seven four, Golden 100 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: State's still a good club. There's still yeah, there's they 101 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: can be dangerous. They haven't lost it home yet. There's 102 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: seven and six. They're not playing well on the road. 103 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: But you know, the battles for the you know, from 104 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: I guess the fourth through the seventh seed, whatever it 105 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: might be. You got to keep up with the Joneses 106 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: and in this case, yeah, and then you know the 107 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: bottom feeders right now. I mean, it's we saw it 108 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: cost Nico Harrison his job. Dallas is just having a 109 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: miserable year. Three and nine, and the Pelicans, I think, 110 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: I think I know it's a zion or someone said, 111 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: you know, why don't they just move the team. There's 112 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: nobody here, even in the like the the Lexus Club seats, 113 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: there's nobody here. Nobody cares about this team, whether two 114 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: and nine, and that's it's a sad state of affairs 115 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: when teams things go south. I mean, you look at 116 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: some really bad teams in the East Washington. I don't 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: know anybody pays attention to basketball out there. They're one 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: and eleven, Indiana's one in ten, Brooklyn's one in ten. 119 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: They have three teams that have won a total of 120 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: three games, and you think, well, the one to get 121 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: to beat up on the Oswalds, you like to say, 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: in the East, those teams are awful and they're probably 123 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: not going to get any better if you have them 124 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: on your schedule right now. Indiana is the exception. Maybe 125 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: they'll get healthier, but man, that's just a dreadful, dreadful 126 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: three teams that are playing in the Eastern Conference right 127 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: now compared to anything in the West, other than as 128 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: I said, maybe the Pelicans. The Wolves are you know, 129 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: they're in good position. I still some questions about their 130 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: point guard situation, how they're going to move forward and 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: kind of you know, what are they going to do? 132 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: They may not do anything. I mean, I think it's 133 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: you know connolly, I mean, everyone's in pie in the 134 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: sky type of thing with the Wolves be in a 135 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: position to trygy trade for John Morant if he and 136 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: d is going to be on the block and he's 137 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: kind of worn out as welcome in Memphis. I don't know. 138 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't. I'm not real. I wouldn't 139 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: be too keen on trading of Jaden McDaniels, that's for sure. 140 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: He's just figuring it out even more and more. He's 141 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: he's a force, and I don't know what the Wolves 142 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: would have to give up, obviously, probably Dante Devincenzo and 143 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: one of the young players, and you know, they got 144 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: to get some big players back to get Moran, and 145 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: would it work here? I mean, I I don't. I mean, 146 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: he's an extremely talented player who's you know, kind of 147 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: just I said, worn out as welcome and had off 148 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: the court issues and all the other stuff that's going on. 149 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: But he's you know, he and Ant in the back 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: court would be scary to watch. I don't think it's 151 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: going to happen. But you know, I think the Wolves 152 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: could potentially make another trade to get another role player 153 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: in here might help them in that area. But you 154 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: have to be determined still. 155 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: So early in the season, I just missed your when 156 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: you were raving about the Pistons. 157 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I went, yeah, they won again last night two and 158 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: they deserve all that. I mean, it's fun to watch 159 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: a team like that that's been downtrodden for decades, I 160 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: mean ever since. You know the bad Boys almost you 161 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: know Kate Cunningham, and I don't even I don't follow 162 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: them that often.

I covered that team and 186 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: when the north Stars played out there. I don't take 187 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: all the sports atmospheres I've ever been, including speaking of Philadelphia, 188 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean covering Eagle, the Vikings Eagles game, where the 189 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: behavior of some of the fans was beyond outrageous. But 190 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: when you went to a Flyers game with the old 191 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: Spectrum and the north Stars, I was my early in 192 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: my career and they had Dave Schulz and you've had 193 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: a hell of a career and they've had they had 194 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: these guys. That's when you had the literally bench clearing 195 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: brawls and that I mean it was like today. I 196 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: mean if they ran out of slap shot where everyone 197 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: would drop the gloves, including the goalies. And I remember 198 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: the north Stars didn't win a game there in the 199 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: playoff game, but it was hostile as hell. I mean, 200 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: I've never seen an atmosphere like that since for a 201 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: sporting event, especially in a closed environment for your own safety. No, 202 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: but I would. I wasn't going to be wearing my 203 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: credential with Minnesota on it really around.

And you went to 207 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: the old Chicago Stadium when the north Stars would play 208 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: the Blackhawks back then, and they would they would just 209 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: tell you if you if you had like a rental card, 210 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: don't park your car around here because it won't be 211 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: here when you get back, so you'd have to either 212 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: take some form of transportation or And that was just 213 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: the whole you know, the whole South Side.

Back at the 271 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: rest of their Vikings record that year, and how do 272 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: you have them as ten point favorites as established one 273 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: of the best team was in the league one, I know, 274 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: but they won two more games the rest of the 275 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: year with a bunch of rag muffin football players that 276 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: basically were signed off the street. And Tarkin had never 277 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: duplicated that the rest of the year very much. The 278 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Vikings as forty four point underdogs. 279 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: I did not twenty four said, and they were only 280 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 4: ten point under. 281 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Well look it up, I will. 282 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know if they had I don't I 283 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: was how old I was nine years old. I can 284 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: show you what he said, and he might be making 285 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: it all well, I just can't. I mean, I cannot 286 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: believe that against for an expansion team that the Chicago 287 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: Bears and Papa George Allis and the team that they had, 288 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings had only been ten point underdogs. But if 289 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: that's the case, then so be it. So it wasn't 290 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: that big of a deal. Well actually it was. I 291 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: mean most people look at it at that time, and 292 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: because when they played them again, that is it. I 293 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: mean the Vikings didn't play really uh very well. They 294 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: never duplicated that and targeting. It wasn't that good the 295 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: rest of the year. That was a miracle on ice 296 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: before miracle nineteen sixty one. I think I was actually 297 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: with my parents that day and I'm no, no, no, 298 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: I got tickets. I regaled the story. I mean I 299 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: got that was only nine years old then, but I 300 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: got season tickets, student season tickets for the Vikings. My 301 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: mom and dad had season tickets, you know, and they 302 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: sat in the left field bleachers basically were you know, 303 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: out the outfield for baseball. But I only had to 304 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: pay They had student tickets for dollar ticket and we 305 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: sat behind the third base dugout basically in the end zone. 306 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: And and uh I would go there with a buddy 307 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: and we sit out there you know, for the game. 308 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: And that's before they had the net that you know, 309 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: they that would be up there for when Fred Cox 310 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: would try a field goal or something. Dick Jankowski was 311 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: the was the usher, and they would somebody would catch 312 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: the football and they say, he got to throw the 313 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: football back. You couldn't keep it, so the ball would 314 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: sail into the stands. But then the kid who caught 315 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: it many times would realize the ball's worth a lot 316 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: more than my tickets, so he'd run out of the 317 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: stadium with the football correct. And that's that's sort of 318 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: how that all became. That was long before they had 319 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: the net that came up there. But yeah, student season 320 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: tickets except for the Packer game. We wouldn't allow to 321 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: buy tickets for that game. But it was a dollar 322 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: a ticket. Think about it. They were there fun seats. 323 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Fraud Father's tries. 324 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: Again, there's never been an NFL game that I'm aware 325 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: of with the twenty four points. 326 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: Well, there may not have been. I mean, you just 327 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: wanted it. Well, the Vikings were seventeen point favorites. They 328 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: were what was the Super Bowl against uh, they were 329 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: big favorites. And then obviously what were the Jets. That's 330 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: a pretty big one. Yeah, they probably were not. Maybe 331 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: they weren't twenty four. I don't know. I don't think 332 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: anyone paid attention to point spreads back there, unless you're 333 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: a bookie. 334 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: The biggest point spread in the history of NFL is 335 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: twenty eight Broncos and Jaguars. 336 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: Really thirteen week six? 337 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 5: Wow? 338 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: Not that long ago. Was Jacksonville's expansion year. I don't 339 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: know they were expansion before then, I assume. So why 340 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: were they such huge favorites twenty twenty eight. 341 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 2: Going into the game, the Broncos are ravaging forty six 342 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: points per game while the Jaguars ravaging ten point two. 343 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Wow, that would make sense. There you go. 344 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 3: This text message says, for a guy who's moving to Chicago, 345 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 3: he knew it's a bold move to start a feud 346 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 3: with the new boys of the Cubs. 347 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: Ah, and I didn't start a feud with him, and 348 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: that and congratulations to Pa becoming the voice. And I 349 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: always loved that one. In the great tradition of Harry Carry, 350 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Pa is reported. Warren if all 351 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: people who war is never wrong, Just to ask Brody, well, 352 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: what if Warren is right about this? One. We don't know. 353 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Pa wouldn't say anything. 354 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: Now, he's gonna wait till the end of No, why 355 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: would it announce that he's the new boy? 356 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: Vikings are probably he's very Harry Carry like you've seen him. 357 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 3: He's a National Treasure wild they're crazy in the booth. Yeah, 358 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: it'd be perfect fit. 359 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: You gotta tell uh, you got you gotta have a 360 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: good sidekick to tell a lot of stories when you're 361 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: doing a baseball game. Don't have a lot of you 362 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: got a lot of extra breathing steel Stone will probably 363 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: work with them. Stone. Oh, those were the days at 364 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: rig Old Wrigley Field, and then you know Wrigley you 365 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: only have four days, so that's nice. 366 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: They don't have any lights there, So I got that 367 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: going for it, which is nice. Tomorrow night, not yes, 368 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 3: tomorrow night, Minnesota Golden Golfers, we'll be playing Oregon. 369 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: They speaking of underdogs. Underdogs, they did not fare very 370 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: well against Ohio State. That's to be expected. 371 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 3: Ohio State hasn't really struggled with anybody at this point 372 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: of the number one team in the country. Uh. They 373 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 3: had what I still consider a pretty embarrassing performance against Iowa, 374 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 3: and you know, I was, you know, they're they're a 375 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: decent club. There's nothing wrong After after that win, I 376 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: think they uh they suddenly jumped into the into the 377 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: top twenty five and ring twentieth in the country, right, 378 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 3: but you know, yes, we know it was forty one 379 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 3: to three I think was the final. So they've had 380 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: two really lopsided games. This one, on paper looks like 381 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: it could be the third lopsided game. 382 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? What do you think is going 383 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: to happen away? And well, I think I mean again, 384 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: what's Oregon? What twenty something point favorites in that game? 385 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't play well in the road number one we 386 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: saw against Iowa. There's no reason to believe that they're 387 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: going to turn it around. I know they've had some 388 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: time to work on some things, but you know, talent 389 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: is talent, and Oregon is loaded with a lot more 390 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: than Minnesota has. And then their speed, and that's usually 391 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: the great divide between a team like Minnesota and what 392 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: a team like Oregon. They have a track team out there, 393 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't see the Gophers sting. I 394 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: mean I'd be shocked, be pleasantly surprised. I hope they 395 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: can hang with them, but I highly doubt it. I 396 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I just think they're a different level. 397 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just a you know, the world 398 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: of nil and the athletes you can you can recruit 399 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: and uh Minnesota's you know, inability to play real well 400 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: on the road against other Mostly we. 401 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: Know it's all nil money with Oregon. I mean, they've 402 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 3: been pretty good for a while now, have money doesn't 403 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: How long has nil money been around? Our Nike money? 404 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 3: How long has nil money been around? I mean, I honestly, 405 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 3: I don't even remember it' had been one. 406 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: Year to ten. I don't even know any I would 407 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: say like four or five five. 408 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: So maybe that's well the in side with the Oregon 409 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 3: starting getting bad. 410 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a combination. But they were good before Neil. 411 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: They were they had that Nike money. They have they 412 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: have the Nike money. 413 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 3: And the way me someone is texting to the Bradshaw 414 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: and Bronk text line, So what was the final outcome 415 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 3: of the Broncos Jags game? 416 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: Don't leave us hanging? 417 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: Oh, Jaguars actually covered the spread. They only last by sixteen. 418 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, a Ryan text the Bears 419 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: were favored by thirteen in that game. So take that 420 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: Ben Hogan guy who said it was a they were 421 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 3: ten points. He keeps going, yeah, by the time the 422 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: show wins, it'll be twenty. 423 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: Well, as it turned out, the Vikings, I think they 424 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: put up thirty something against them, and Francis came off 425 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: the bench and long before he and Van Brocken were 426 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: at each other's throats and forced the trade of Frand 427 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: to the Giants, and before he came back and help 428 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: helped their the three Super Bowls four. Okay Okapa here 429 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: we'll say okay okapa because he thought it Fran quarterback. 430 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: Now you know he wasn't around for Joe Capp for 431 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: sixty seven. But a character. 432 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: We'll take a break, come back.

I'm just 453 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: talking about the fact that the first game of the season, 454 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: first game, the game, no, I mean than it really was. 455 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: I don't remember it. I mean I really don't. I 456 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: just remember hearing about it because I wasn't watching. I 457 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: don't think the game wasn't televised. I don't believe, you know, 458 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: the legends grow after that, of course they do. But 459 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: that's what this You've grown this one as long as 460 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: pinoccha those the Vikings, like I said, in the first 461 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: Super Role against Kansas City, I think the Vikings were 462 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: like seventeen point favorites. Maybe someone will correct me on that. 463 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but that wasn't the discussion about the 464 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: the fact that it was more about Fran that he 465 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: came off the bench. Van Brocklyn didn't, George Shaw wasn't 466 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: moving the ball, and Fran thought he was going to 467 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: start that game and he didn't, and he was he 468 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: was upset about that. One of many times he got 469 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: really upset with Van Brocklin and brought him off the 470 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: bench and that was it. And then the Vikings were 471 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: pretty lousy the rest of the year. They made as 472 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: the most expansion teams were ten. I was just talking 473 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: about Jacksonville and how they know even they were bigger underdogs. 474 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. At that time, it seemed like it 475 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: was a People still talk about it in the context 476 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: that they beat Papa. You know, George Hallis with Van 477 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: Brockln to coach and a rookie quarterback coming off the 478 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: bench to throw four touchdown passes. That was the point. 479 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: Vikings take on the Bears a little bit different than 480 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: nineteen sixty one. It is Vikings Bears. It will be 481 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: played indoors, which was unheard of back then. Correct, we 482 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 3: at us Bank Stadium. Tenney and I talked about this earlier. 483 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: CBS Sports put together a they were grading the NFL 484 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that are. 485 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: On rookie deals. 486 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: Drake May got an A plus, Caleb Williams a B, 487 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: and it goes on down the line. 488 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: And from last year for this second year. I'm sorry, 489 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention. 490 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 3: They're on rookie deal, so anytime it lost rove deal, 491 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: they're all on rookie deal. 492 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Got it, so hold on. 493 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: So they're grading the quarterbacks on the rookie deals, including 494 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: Drake May. He's an A plus, Caleb Williams is a B. 495 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: And the list goes on and on and on until 496 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 3: you get down to JJ McCarthy and they grate him 497 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: as an F. 498 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: It says. 499 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 3: McCarthy has more interceptions six than Tuddy's five, has the 500 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: lowest completion percentage in the entire NFL. 501 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: Through four starts, at fifty three three point seven. 502 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: Percent in a sad pace extrapolated to seventeen games would 503 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 3: be the sixth most all time. 504 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: It's important to reiterate. 505 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: Though, that it's only four starts in the first four 506 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: of his career. At that if you're looking for encouraging signs. 507 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: You'll find a couple of throws a game, not any 508 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: extended stretch of play to warrant a grade higher than this. 509 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: And I brought it up. 510 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: Part of the reason was as Tenneby and I have 511 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 3: been seemingly every day we do a segment or two 512 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 3: where we talk about, you know, a McCarthy in his 513 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: progress or lack thereof as he plays, and we seem 514 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: to get attacked a lot by listeners who are. 515 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: Basically I don't know what they're reading into. 516 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: Whatever we're saying is to like, we think McCarthy should 517 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 3: be cut, that he you know, and it's it couldn't 518 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 3: be a further thing that the truth. 519 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: There's never any nuance. It's always extremes. 520 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, all we've said is welcome to he's been struggling, 521 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 3: and there are a number of reasons why. I mean, 522 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: we know, I mean, he's twenty two, he missed all 523 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 3: of last year to injury. His first two games, he 524 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: played one pretty well in the fourth quarter, wasn't very 525 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 3: good in the next, got the spraining ankle, missed five, 526 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 3: and he's had a pretty good game against Detroit, at 527 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: least some good moments, and then he you know, it 528 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 3: was it didn't go as well. That first drive went 529 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: really nice for the Vikings against Baltimore. 530 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: After that there wasn't much. So while I look at that, 531 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: I think that's probably fair. But I also think you 532 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: could give. 533 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: Him an incomplete because obviously he is just starting his career. 534 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: I saw where in his. 535 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: Midweek news conference O'Connell talked about how the progress that 536 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 3: or lack there at McCarthy's been making to this point. 537 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: And I think one thing they're pointing to this week, 538 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: according to what I read today, is they're seeing the 539 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 3: Bears for the second time. So there's there were things 540 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 3: that he did well against the Bears, obviously that fourth quarter, 541 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 3: things he didn't do so well the third quarter. 542 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: They're hoping that the second time around. You know, that's 543 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: the experience. 544 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 3: You're playing a team now for the second time you've 545 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 3: played him before, and maybe this will help him, uh, 546 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: you know, start getting you know, consistency is the word 547 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: they're using. 548 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: All they need to him to be more. 549 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 3: Consistent, and like O'Connell says, but when you're trying to 550 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 3: go one and oh this week, there's there's. 551 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Some growing pains. Yeah, And I think now you got 552 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: throw in the and I hope this doesn't become a 553 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: talker on Sunday afternoon. The fact that McCarthy's not wearing 554 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: a bandage on his right hand that he banked, balked 555 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: off of someone's helmet the other day, and you know 556 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: this from the media has access to the practices. He 557 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: wasn't throwing the ball much. I'm thinking to homeboy. So 558 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying, I hope you're either healthy enough 559 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: to play. You know, they have to tough it out. 560 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: You're health enough to play. I mean, I've seen quarterbacks 561 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: do this a lot. And if he sales another pass over, 562 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: JJ's had people going, well his hand is not right, Well, no, 563 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: then don't play. I mean, if you're in your hands 564 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: the right, don't play. You can't sacrifice this game when 565 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: you're every especially a visional game. So I mean, I 566 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of other elements that you 567 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: can't deny anything what you said. I mean, McCarthy is 568 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: going through growing pains, which a lot of people expected, 569 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: maybe more so than what we what we expected. He's 570 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: shown flashes, that's it, but it's it's obviously a work 571 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: in progress, and they have to do other things that 572 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't turn the ball over. You can't 573 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: have a minus three turnover ratio. You can't the defense 574 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: can't go, you know, game after game after game without 575 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: getting interceptions. They've had three this year in order to 576 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: give a JJ McCarthy in the offense a short field 577 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: once once in a while, you know, turnovers and big plays. 578 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: It's not something that's a mantra that's been recited over 579 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: and over and over again that end up deciding games. 580 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: Not all of them have been. You know, obviously the 581 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: kick returner price, it was a huge play fumbling the 582 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: kick return. That wasn't JJ McCarthy's fault, but it put 583 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings defense on their heels against you know, a 584 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: really good, fundamental team like Baltimore. You're going to lose 585 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: games like that against the better team. So it's it's 586 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: incumbent upon the team. The team to do the rest 587 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: of the things at a much higher clip. You can't 588 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: have twelve bleeping penalties and eight of them being false 589 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: starts and expect to win at home. The Vikings are 590 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: what one and three at home right now? You know, 591 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: us Bank's supposed to be this great home field advantage. 592 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: You know, the skull chant. Everybody gets wound up and 593 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, making it really tough for you know, this week, 594 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and the Bears offense. You know, you got 595 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: to do the little things right, and right now this 596 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: team is not doing the little things right. Compounding the 597 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: fact that McCarthy's struggling to kind of find his rhythm. 598 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: So it's it's always more than one thing, but there's 599 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: no denying the fact that McCarthy's has not found a 600 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: constant rhythm to what he needs to do to help 601 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: the steeling. 602 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: Games night the nineteen sixty Bears finished five six and one. 603 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: Why are we still talking about? 604 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 3: Because you not, because you keep changing the stories we 605 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: go along, You're changing history coming off the year before. 606 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm just what I'm talking about is the fact that 607 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: it had to do with fran Tarkan and rookie quarterbacks 608 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: and what That's all it was talking about, and it 609 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: turned into a lot more than that. Look at Franz 610 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: record the next how many weeks that he played record? 611 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 3: Mark? 612 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: What was the spread on David versus Goliath? I believe 613 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: Goliath was, No, I. 614 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: Think it was it was what do they call it 615 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 3: when they don't even take a line. It was off 616 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 3: the board. I think I think David us, well. 617 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: They didn't realize that that sling shot was going to 618 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: be as powerful as it was. It's much more accurate 619 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: than my Well, yeah, he didn't overthrow Goliath did hit 620 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: him right between the just like that. That's a great 621 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: analogy right between knocked him, knocked him out, Down goes Goliath. 622 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: So and again it's almost like me, it's it's just 623 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: easy to get these mccarthyites going. I mean, well I 624 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: robbed them comparing this guys, I said, I'm not doing 625 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: the comparing. 626 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: Don't shoot the messenger. 627 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: I'm just reading what CBS Sports rode in a piece 628 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 3: that they did. 629 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: They were grading the quarterbacks. 630 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: They gave McCarthy a rookie quarterback, you know, quarterbacks on 631 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 3: a rookie deal. 632 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 5: I don't. 633 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm just don't blame me. And we know a lot 634 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: of those guys struggled last year. I mean, obviously, what's going 635 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: on in New England. I mean, they didn't have a 636 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: very good team last year, No they didn't, and you 637 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: know quarterbacks a different quarterback this year. Bo Knicks is 638 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: still struggling. But Denver's winning games because their defense has 639 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: been lights out and they've had a really good running game. 640 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: That might be a good idea this week. And the 641 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: Bears have been opportunistic and that's why I give Chicago 642 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: a good chance of winning this game on Sunday. You know, 643 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: they don't mess around, they hang around, and they don't 644 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: look good. You know, they probably should have lost the 645 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: game to the Giants last week. Vikings already beat him 646 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: this and this is why it's so important. The Fikings 647 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: have what eight games left?

Well, yeah, it is. 654 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: And I think that you know, you and even Ben 655 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: talked about today, I mean Ben Johnson talked about it. 656 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: That the Vikings are doing all in the division, that 657 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: that's what gives them hope. They have to they have 658 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: to run the table, honestly against the Bears. They play 659 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: the Packers the following week. You know they're they're having 660 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: a mighty struggle right now.

We talked about that in Spread Swing, I 666 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: think a little bit. But Vikings have to find a 667 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: way of of you know, beating the Bears again, beat 668 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: the Packers twice, and they played the the Kitties on 669 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: Christmas and Christmas here I mean that chance know, Yeah, 670 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: the old Saint Nicholas.

Now he's calling you. 679 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 3: He's the very feisty Mark Rose and calling people out. All. 680 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't calling you. I was basically sending the bad 681 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: signal out for you. 682 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's another thing I wanted to talk about. 683 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 5: You got a lot of nerves me. Yeah, why facts 684 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 5: you know so much? Just you're just because you're old 685 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 5: and you've been watching the team for a long time. 686 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, just facts getting away a better story. I mean what, 687 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: there's nobody better than I agree with you. I one 688 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: is one of the best play by play guys I've 689 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: ever It's the very best. And he's he's a talented person. 690 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: He is. So what does that have to do with said. 691 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 5: You're probably the one that started that rumor that Moron 692 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 5: Warren was talking about about Pa going to the Cubs. 693 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a rumor, Brody. I think 694 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: there might be some truth to that. That's what my 695 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: sources are telling me. He's a man in Chicago. 696 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 5: Money they already have. 697 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: They already have a radio guy well all and then 698 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: they have the other guy, maybe not for long. 699 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 5: Why would they come on now? You got to think about. 700 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: Just think about every wild pig it's loose. Yeah, the 701 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 1: old kids. 702 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 5: Going to do that. He's not going to do that. 703 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 5: I know because I got a cousin who lives in Chicago, 704 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 5: and he says they like the radio people there. 705 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm very good. That's great. No, I don't think he's 706 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: gonna go what's wrong with your club this year? 707 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 3: And I thought you told me that McCarthy was the 708 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 3: the club was going to be good the big game. 709 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: We should all be scolders. The helly were you drinking? 710 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 5: And that's the other thing. What's what that guy given? 711 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 5: A given McCarthy an f he won, he won the 712 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 5: offensive player of the week. You don't get an f 713 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 5: IF when that means he was the best offensive player 714 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 5: of that week. 715 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: He was. Well, they're judging his entire his body of work. 716 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 5: Who won the game? 717 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: Mark? 718 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 5: Who won the game? Mark? 719 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't remember. Yeah, the Vikings won the game, Brody, 720 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 1: we all know the Vikings won the game. And McCarthy 721 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: played a great fourth quarter and then he fell on 722 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: his face to a couple of games. 723 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 5: So that's when they gave you a gop at w 724 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 5: C C O were you really good time? I was. 725 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: I wasn't starting. I was.

When I went on the air, 728 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: I was damn good. He was really good. 729 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 5: When you first got on the air, we were able 730 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 5: to read that teleprompter that people wrote stuff for you for. 731 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: They didn't have a teleprompter. 732 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 2: Then, Yody Brodi, you're talking about a Hall of Famer here, 733 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 2: So to start comparing JJ McCarthy to Hall of. 734 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: Famers, Come on, let's be realistic here. I didn't have 735 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: a telepropot. 736 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 5: You ever see Joe You see Joe Montana in his 737 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 5: first season or Steve Young? 738 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: I was at the game. I was at the game. 739 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: They mess Joe Montana because the Fighters were kicking the 740 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: crap out of him in nineteen eighty seven they had 741 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: to put Steve Young in the game. Is his backup? Yes? 742 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: I remember. Not gonna fool me, Brodie. 743 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 5: You just jumped to the one season when he played bad, 744 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 5: not the super Bowl if you wont Okay, that's a 745 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 5: good one.

You're just a homer. All 753 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: you do is do homer stuff. 754 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 5: That's not true. I have a very objective analysis. 755 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: Brody, A we gotta go. All right, Brody, you have 756 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 1: a good weekend. 757 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 5: I don't think they're real all right, I got. 758 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: A gold bag.

Minus six? Yeah, Frank Frankie's uh 764 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: minus four? Couple back. He's just again, he's young on 765 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: the tour. I mean, it's different when you're playing an 766 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: individual sport as opposed to a team sport. But it 767 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: is well, I would think so. I mean, no one's 768 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 1: he's not relying on anybody else other than his caddy 769 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: to kind of put him in position to succeed. 770 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 3: You know. He and I, uh, Frank's happened and I 771 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 3: share the same swing coach. 772 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: No, that's about the only thing you guys have in common. 773 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: We share the same swing coach. 774 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 6: Well, yep, well, Franky, you share the same so you 775 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 6: I'm guessing your swing coach finds things when he's working 776 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 6: with you and goes I should teach this to Frankie 777 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:20,919 Speaker 6: the way the Common Swings Club. 778 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: He here's all you really need to know. 779 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 3: Craig One said to me, you know, with my elite players, 780 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 3: I teach them how to breathe properly. And I said, well, 781 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 3: you've never taught me how to breathe. 782 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: Properly. 783 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 4: That's all you need to know. So you like the Vikings. 784 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 4: You think they win this week? Right, cautionary tale? I 785 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 4: mean I think that they don't turn the damn ball over. 786 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 4: They should win the game. Antenna's picked them in spread swing, 787 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 4: you know there, they should beat them. I mean, the 788 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 4: Bears been living a charm life, but a lot of it. 789 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 4: They've earned it. 790 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: They put themselves in a position by getting those turnovers, 791 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: by making the big play. But I would think that 792 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: Will Raikert and could be the difference may in this game. 793 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be anything more than what 794 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: difficult Vikings Bears game, you know, probably a seventeen to 795 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: fourteen type game.
