Speaker 3: coming to a close as Super Bowl. We commence this

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: right here on the Minnesota Vikings Podcast presented by PEPSI.

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 4: My name is Gabe Henderson.

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: It is a full cast inside the TCO Radio studio today.

11

Speaker 3: Jay Nelson here, Tatum Everett is here, Lindsey Young is here,

Speaker 3: and our producer, Eric Davidson is on the ones and

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 3: twos and Lindsay first and foremost, thank you for joining us. Secondly,

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: you were at the Pro Bowl this past week in Orlando.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: What a spectacle it was. I watched a little bit online.

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: I think it was one of those things. When I

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: turned it on, I was like, there's a lot of

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: people there and just understanding that there's no tackle football anymore,

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: that the games have been reimagined for you, just what

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 3: was that experience like being down in Orlando last week.

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, first of all, guys, thanks for having me back on.

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 5: I always love joining the podcast, and yeah, being in

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 5: Orlando was really fun.

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 6: So I was with a crew.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 5: There were five total people with our crew from Viking's

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 5: Entertainment Network, and we flew in Thursday morning. And so

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: to your point, Gabe, like the Pro Bowl format has

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 5: changed so much to now where it's the NFL Pro

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 5: Bowl games. So they had the skills Challenge on Thursday night,

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 5: which was really fun to watch, and of course Andrew

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: Depaula one of our three Pro bowlers down there, along

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 5: with CJ. Hammond, Neil Hunter. Andrew was able to kind

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 5: of bring home a win for the NFC in the

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: Snapshots game, which was really fun and I know that

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: people enjoyed that. So they had the skills Challenge on Thursday,

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 5: and then on Sunday it kind of all culminates with

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: the four quarters of flag football, and then in between

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: those quarters they had some additional skills challenges and so

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 5: they had a Tug of War, they had the Gridiron Gauntlet.

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 5: Like you mentioned, there were a ton of people there.

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: The Pro Bowl was hosted at Camping World Stadium and

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 5: there were fifty five thousand plus fans who were there.

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: The cool thing is too, is that before the Pro

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 5: Bowl games, they have the Youth Flag Football Championships, so

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: there were a lot of fans there for that and

46
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: then really filled in for the flag football game. And

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: it's cool because the score of the flag football game

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 5: combines with the score from the skills challenges, So if

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 5: it was just the flag football game, the AFC actually

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: would have won, but the NFC team absolutely dominated and

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: all of those skills challenged mini games and so they

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 5: ended up coming away with the win, which was which

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 5: was really fun to see. And I think the best

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 5: thing about the Pro Bowl is just the guys are

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 5: really having fun.

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 6: But you can't you know, it's more low key.

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 5: It's not tackle, but like you cannot take the competitiveness

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 5: out for these guys. I think it felt a little

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: bit low key, and then as soon as it hit

60
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, like things were ramped up.

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 6: And it really did come down to the final.

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: Play that the AFC went on on fourth down and

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 5: Bear's cornerback Jalen Johnson ended up breaking up the pass steel.

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 6: In an NFC win. So it was fun to see

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 6: how excited the guys get down there.

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 7: As far as the competitive nature of all that kind

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 7: of stuff goes, I mean, the fact that they're now

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 7: funneling this into more of these skills challenge and that

69
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 7: kind of thing too. Was there any kind of trash

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 7: talking or anything that you saw going on during that

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 7: time just as a collective, you know, like all the

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 7: stuff that I saw, whether it was watching it live

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 7: or even the playback pieces, you saw a huge rally.

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: From a lot of the guys on the sideline.

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 7: Just it felt like everyone was really into it as

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 7: far as you know, challenge by challenge went.

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: So during the week, the most trash talking that I

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: feel like you saw was between Eli and Peyton Manning.

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: No jokes.

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: So if anybody doesn't know, Eli Manning coaches the NFC

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: team and Peyton coaches AFC, and like that sibling.

82
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 6: Rivalry is very real. So that was really fun to watch.

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: The NFC has now won the past two years with

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 5: Eli there as head coach, and I think it just

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 5: really irks Peyton, But it was fun to watch, especially

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: like during the tug of war, you could definitely see

87
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: those guy, the big guys kind of like jawing at

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: one another and had a lot of fun with that,

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: So I think it's one of those things that guys

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: enjoy connecting with different players around the league. But as

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 5: Andrew Depoulos, I kind of as everything was wrapping up,

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: He's like.

93
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 6: It's fun.

94
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 5: It's low key to a certain extent, but like at

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 5: the end of the day, nobody wants to get bested,

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: so you still are going for that win.

97
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean they're athletes at the heart of it,

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: all right. I mean they'd compete in locker room games

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: all the time, so it's not surprising they have fun

100
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: with it. I like the new format. I think it

101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of refreshing to see the more personalities from them.

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: They're not so focused on like a game plan and

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: worrying about, you know, their assignments and their playbooks and stuff.

104
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: They can just go and relax and like you said,

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: just have a good time.

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 6: Yeah. I like it too. I'm a fan of the

107
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 6: new format.

108
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: I think before, even when it was a quote real game,

109
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: it still really wasn't. It was really dumb down because

110
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: people didn't want to get hurt, and so it's like

111
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: you've got guys in helmets and full pads, but the

112
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: game has really slowed down, not wanting to tackle too hard,

113
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: and so I think, to Tatum's point, like it you

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: get to just see guys' personalities. I think just literally

115
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 5: seeing them without helmets on. I think fans enjoy that.

116
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: I appreciate that the players are more laid back. I

117
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: know a lot of different guys were signing autographs before

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 5: and after the games, especially for kids.

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 6: So it's just a really good atmosphere that's awesome.

120
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: I know before we started this podcast, you were saying

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: that the Andrew de Paula long snap. I guess that

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: segment of him just doing his thing was our highest

123
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: viewed video on Facebook since week one, since.

124
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 5: The beginning of the season. Yeah, right, just killing it

125
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: for Andrew to Paula. Yeah, you know, we were talking, Gabe.

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: I don't know how all the algorithms work and stuff

127
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 5: like that, but I do think it is really fun

128
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 5: to see fans like rally so much behind guys on

129
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 5: the team that just have high character, good personality, Like

130
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: their position is not flashy. I mean our three pro boilers,

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 5: like we had a long snapper and a full back

132
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: and then of course daneil Hunter as outside linebacker. But

133
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 5: those guys get such a good following, I think with

134
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: their families and everything. And it didn't hurt that Andrew

135
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: was competing with Jason Kelsey, who has kind of been

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 5: in the media a little bit extra lately, so I

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: think that I think that made the video even more popular.

138
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: My question is just thinking of how you also get

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: to relax a little bit, Like I know the players

141
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: get a chance to take a deep breath, but for you,

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: what does that look like? With VN and everybody being

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: down there in Florida.

144
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: There were definitely moments of chaos and then there were

145
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 5: moments where we got to sort of chill it and

146
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 5: take a breath, and I think it was a good balance.

147
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: It was fun each day going to practice and figuring

148
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 5: out who we were going to talk to that day,

149
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: what we were going to get for interviews. Highlight for me,

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: probably to nobody's surprise, was that on Friday, late afternoon,

151
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: there were three of us from Ven, myself and Alex

152
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: Worley and Ali Rusco, and then Lanny Austin joined as well.

153
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 6: We met up with the Depaula.

154
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 5: Family at Magic Kingdom, and the Depaula's had like twenty

155
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 5: one total people, family members. It was mostly all family

156
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: members and then a close friend of Andrews and his family.

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: But it was really cool to meet up with them

158
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: and just kind of see Andrew in full dad mode,

159
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 5: you know, like nobody He's like, nobody's gonna recognize me.

160
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: I'm just a regular guy standing in line getting pretzels

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: and popcorn for my kids. But after we spent some

162
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: time gathering content with Andrew, then we were able to

163
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 5: kind of just hang out at the park there for

164
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: the rest of the night, and that was really fun.

165
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: It's good too, I think, just to like bond with

166
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: co workers in a place that's like away from the facility,

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: and we enjoyed the warmer weather. I think people could

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: tell that we were from Minnesota because it started cooling off.

169
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 5: It was like, you know, fifties or whatever, and most

170
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: of us were still wearing either short sleeves or like

171
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 5: a light sweatshirt.

172
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 6: There's one woman walking by in a parka like. So, yeah,

173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 6: it was good. It was a good trip.

174
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: One thing I love about it too, is just these

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 7: guys getting their recognition and to see Andrew not only

176
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 7: get recognized for that, but also like the sled work

177
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 7: drill that was done when they won as well. So

178
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 7: like to have those guys down there, you know, what

179
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 7: was kind of their mood or their their feeling of

180
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 7: being able to participate in this year's Pro Bowl.

181
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 5: From all three of our guys, it's something that they

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: don't take for granted. Obviously Danielle being there more times.

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: It was his fourth time, and it was second for

184
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 5: CJ and for Andrew, but you kind of got the

185
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 5: same vibe from all three that they don't take it

186
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: for granted that they are well respected by their peers

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: and by coaches and obviously also the fan component as well.

188
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 5: And they all brought their families along, which was really

189
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: cool to see. Denil brought his parents and his siblings,

190
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: so an older group of family members, but to see

191
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: Andrew and CJ, you know, have their kids down there,

192
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: some younger cousins as well, and just to see like

193
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: how I think it makes them really proud that they're

194
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 5: able to give their family that type of an experience.

195
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: And I know Andrew's wife Amy had said, like, it's

196
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: really awesome that we're here at Disney World, and it's

197
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 5: fun to all do this as a family. But like

198
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: the best part is that we're all able to do

199
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: this because of Andrew's accomplishments and because of how hard

200
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 5: he works. So I think there's just kind of that

201
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: overall feeling of pride and accomplishment.

202
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: For sure wells as we move on, I know, Pro

203
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: Bowl is such a great time to you know, relax

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: and the guys kind of get to beat themselves being

205
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: around their family. We do have to, you know, move

206
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: forward and think about the Super Bowl in life after

207
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, when the new league year starts for

208
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: you going into the super Bowl. Before we talk vikings offseason,

209
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: do you have a favorite Chiefs or forty nine Ers

210
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: that you expect to come out victorious after Sunday's game.

211
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: We can make predictions right yeah, which is exciting. We

212
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: really get to do that.

213
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 5: I feel like my prediction is that the Chiefs will win,

214
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: but I'm pulling for the Niners, so that's why I hesitating.

215
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, I want the Niners to win. I think

216
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 5: my prediction is probably that the Chiefs will win. I

217
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: think they're just rolling right now, but we'll see. I mean,

218
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 5: they obviously both have big pieces. I think a lot

219
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 5: of it will come down to the Niners defense. And

220
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: if they can obviously stop Patrick Mahomes. But prediction is

221
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: the Chiefs.

222
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: It's so tough to bet against Mahomes. Yeah, it's so tough.

223
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: What do you guys think, Well, they're so comfortable being there.

224
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: They They're like, oh, we do this every year. We

225
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: go to the AFC Championship, we win it at the time,

226
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: and we're in this position, so like everyone there and

227
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: knows how this works. And the Niners have been to

228
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship with three straight seasons before being able

229
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: to win. So I think like that there's something to that.

230
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: I do love seeing different teams win. You know, I'm

231
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: with you, though I think the Chiefs win. But I'm

232
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: also just so biased right now, I'll.

233
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: Be very it, very But.

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: It's also like like as a football fan who enjoys

235
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: watching it from like like the women fan side of things.

236
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: I do like how I get to see the women

237
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: that root for those teams, like they're supportive partners on

238
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: both sides, because I think the whole like christian Us

239
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Check yeah, doing a lot of her really, I mean

240
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm in the fashion so I love her game day

241
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: outfits and how her and Claire Kittle always have like

242
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: they're on point. They're always there sporting the guys. Olivia

243
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Culpol will be there so like, and I know people

244
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: are like, oh, Taylor Swift, like Olivia Culpole has a

245
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: hugeish following. Yeah, and that's Christian McCaffrey's Beyonce. So for me,

246
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's kind of a star set of thing.

247
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see Usher.

248
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 6: I'm excited.

249
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: I'm more excited for like the ancilliary events. I want

250
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: to see the game. I'm excited about the game, but

251
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie when it comes down to like

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: the Vikings not being in it. I kind of just

253
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: like the whole spectacle of the Super Bowl, Like I

254
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: like watching the media day videos and I like seeing

255
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: all the stuff leading up to it, and I'm really

256
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: excited to see ushers.

257
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 6: I say that I'm excited for Usher, I just.

258
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: Honestly, I feel like Usher is the loser in all

259
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: of this, Like, with all due respect, and I love Usher,

260
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: but only Taylor Swift.

261
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: He can only win if Taylor is bring Taylor out there.

262
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: Do you have like a new album coming out? Like

263
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: the day after the Super Bowl.

264
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: He just announced his world tour. I think or something

265
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: or not as us tour.

266
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: I feel like if Taylor Swift is not on that album, he.

267
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: She just released her new album and post Malone's on

268
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: it and he is not.

269
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: So isn't postal Low doing like the national anthem or something? Yeah?

270
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: And that's the thing, Like I think the super Bowl

271
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 7: in general has turned into such a spectacle, like it

272
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 7: is all the ancillary stuff for that that is the

273
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 7: talker because the old joke was the idea of you

274
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 7: went to a commercial and a football game broke out. Well,

275
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 7: with the super Bowl, it's like you're going to a

276
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 7: giant party and oh, by the way, we're playing for

277
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 7: a Lombardi Trophy like that. That's where it's turned into.

278
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 7: Let alone, the fact that you're in Las Vegas, which

279
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 7: is even a giant you know, more of a.

280
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: Spectaclesh i' wait to seell those videos that come out.

281
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 7: And what's crazy too, is like the idea that usher right,

282
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 7: he just got done doing a residency in Vegas and now, oh,

283
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 7: by the way, stick around, we're going to stick you

284
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 7: at super Bowl halftime show. So at least he's been

285
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 7: able to practice where he's going to play kind of

286
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 7: a thing.

287
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: First guy who's ever been out shined or the first

288
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: person who's been outshine at a halftime show by like

289
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: people that are attending.

290
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 7: Everybody else is gonna be hanging out. But but to me,

291
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 7: like that is what the super Bowl has turned into

292
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 7: at this point. It's just elevated to a different level

293
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 7: because of the storylines that have been happening throughout the

294
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 7: rest of the season.

295
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean, right, I can't probably can't have a bathroom

296
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: break or anything the entire thing from start to finish.

297
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: Well, you can't, That's what I mean.

298
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 7: But that's the crazy thing too, is to think about

299
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 7: it's almost more of a spectacle for people at home

300
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 7: than it is for people at the event. You know,

301
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 7: this year, they've got they've added Tiesta as a DJ

302
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 7: and stuff like that for it. But even when they

303
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 7: had the Super Bowl here at US Bank Stadium, they

304
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 7: had some things during those commercial breaks, but it really

305
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 7: was more of a thing for people at home because

306
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 7: it's like did you see this movie trailer? Did you

307
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 7: see this commercial? And everyone talking about all the other stuff.

308
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 7: So yeah, it has turned into a thing where it's

309
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 7: almost appointment viewing and you don't feel like you can

310
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 7: get up from your couch, which, to be honest with you,

311
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 7: is kind of the way they want it. You know,

312
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 7: they want it to be that kind of an event.

313
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: But now they do like post it and you can

314
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: see it, Like like I forgot the Grammys were on. Okay, sorry,

315
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: I know that's probably not on my not part of

316
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: my brand, but I totally forgot that the Grammys were on,

317
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: and you can go.

318
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: Back and watch all the videos.

319
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: I watched all the performances and did everything retro act

320
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: when I you know, all the stuff that I missed

321
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: before I turned it on. But like, that's what's great

322
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: about it because they release all the commercials, but if.

323
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 5: You watch the commercials later, you can't live tweet about

324
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: how much everybody is loving like the new Jurido's commercial.

325
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: I actually I look at Twitter, but I if you

326
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: ever noticed on my account, I'm not much of a

327
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: live tweeter.

328
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm just really it's not I don't know, I probably should.

329
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: The only time I live too it is if I

330
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: actually watched the game. And having a newborn, there's not

331
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: many opportunities for me to do that, so that's the

332
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: only chance I get to do it. But just thinking

333
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: about like the business perspective of it, right, like this

334
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: is this is as good as it gets Vegas, Taylor Swift, Ussher,

335
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: just the two. I mean, it honestly seems staged if

336
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: you really look at just all the variables and stakeholders

337
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: that are adding to the that are adding.

338
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: Fuel to the fire.

339
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 7: J Boy, you're running back super Bowl fifty four at

340
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 7: this point, right, So it's like, you know who these

341
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 7: two teams are.

342
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: They've been talkers all year.

343
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 7: They've had the roller coaster of you know, peaks and

344
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 7: valleys of just the entire season. I think talking football

345
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 7: for half a second here, like one of the biggest

346
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 7: things for me, one of the biggest things for me

347
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 7: that I think is going to be a gigantic thing

348
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 7: to watch is the idea of what does the Chiefs

349
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 7: defense do? You know, how do they deal with the Niners?

350
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 7: Because they secretly have really locked down everybody this entire season.

351
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 7: They're holding opponents to seventeen point three points a game

352
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 7: during the regular season and thirteen point seven points a

353
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 7: game in the postseason. And so flip that now to

354
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 7: San Francisco is averaging three hundred ninety eight yards a

355
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 7: game and twenty eight point nine points a game, so like,

356
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 7: it's just kind of.

357
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: A weird, weird bit here where you've got such.

358
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 7: A lockdown defense and a rockstar offense, and per usual

359
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 7: the idea of, at least in the past, you want

360
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 7: to have a really good defense in the playoffs to

361
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 7: kind of stifle an offense. But one thing we know

362
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 7: is that Shanahan always has some kind of crazy game plan,

363
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 7: and just to see kind of the titans of a

364
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 7: really good Chiefs defense going against the San Francisco offense,

365
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 7: it's gonna be really fun to watch.

366
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: The one thing that I am in all seriousness, like

367
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 5: really looking forward to watching is how Brock Party does

368
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 5: in this situation.

369
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 6: I'm definitely rooting for him.

370
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 5: I love his story, but he is obviously young, He's

371
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 5: inexperience in a situation like this, So you know, Jay like,

372
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 5: will that Chiefs defense be able to rattle him? And

373
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: I think that that can obviously have a big impact

374
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 5: on the game to see how consistently Brock Purty plays.

375
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: They obviously have Christian McCaffrey though, too, and other weapons

376
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 5: that they can use. But I think that that you

377
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 5: know that's going to be a big key in the

378
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: game is whether or not Pertty can you know, keep

379
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: control of the ball, maintain possession for his guys. But

380
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, a lot of eyes will be on

381
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 5: that Chiefs defense for sure.

382
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: I think you hit that right on the head, Lindsay.

383
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people are talking about, you know,

384
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes and just him being great. And that's one

385
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: thing that really stands out to me is, you know,

386
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: I don't really care who wins, but if Pat Mahomes wins,

387
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: I will appreciate his greatness a little bit more. And

388
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: I think that's something that's kind of going under the radars, like, hey,

389
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: we're actually witnessing greatness, like we're in real time. But

390
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: to the point of what I think that the model

391
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: of the Super Bowl will be, I think it'll be

392
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: brock perty versus Steve Spagnolo, the Chiefs defensive coordinator. And

393
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 3: how Steve orchestrated that defense a couple of weeks ago

394
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: against Lamar Jackson the Baltimore Ravens.

395
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a work of art.

396
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: So to see how they, you know, I guess, draw

397
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: up this defense against an offense that really makes their money.

398
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: In between the hash marks, we know this is a

399
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: forty nine ers offense that eighty percent of their plays

400
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: or passes thrown or passes completed are within the hash mark.

401
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: So how does that fare against a Steve Max Spagnolo

402
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: defense that pretty much has what arguably the youngest defense

403
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: in the NFL. So I'm excited to see what that

404
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 3: looks like. But also to Tojay's point, just the business

405
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: and the star studied event, like this is going to

406
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: be probably one of the greatest Super Bowls that we've

407
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: ever seen. I mean, just think about all the experience

408
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: from the coaches perspective, of the player's perspective, and then

409
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: you get I guess the entertainment value on top of that.

410
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: I think this is this could be arguably one of

411
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: the greatest Super Bowls in NFL history. I was just

412
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 3: this thought just came to mind. I think it was

413
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: tATu you just brought up. You know, maybe it's maybe

414
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: better watching the game at home. I don't know if

415
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: that was Jared Tatum that said that, but.

416
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: Because I'm definitely going to a party and I need

417
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: to be surrounded by some tailors with faithful because I

418
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: can't be around my husband, who hates it.

419
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 5: But you'll still be watching it from a home on TV.

420
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 5: Not so it's it's funner to watch, just like.

421
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 4: Being there being there versus watching being there.

422
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: I was just listening to Pia's interview with Gary Kubiak

423
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: earlier this week, and Gary coop really good. Gary Kubiak

424
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 3: says he's not even going to He has tickets, but

425
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: he's not going to the game because he actually wants

426
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 3: to watch the game and just actually see everything that

427
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: surrounds the actual spectacle.

428
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 4: I think that's going to be Uh.

429
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: That was something that really stood out to me, and

430
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be really key for everyone that's.

431
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: Involved with giving away the tickets.

432
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: I think I think his wife. I think he said

433
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: his wife and like his grandkids are growing.

434
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: Oh good good.

435
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean I figured that would be a ticket he

436
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: could give someone want to go.

437
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure Pierre will be like, hey, just give it

438
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: a tatum.

439
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: I appreciate that guy. You know, I want to go

440
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: see Usher in person.

441
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's going to be a really cool event.

442
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: I'm not sure who knows, like who. This is one

443
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: of those games where it's fifty to fifty, like we

444
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: don't know some of.

445
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: The best coaching I think we'll ever see those totally

446
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: agree the Shanahan versus read the like you said with

447
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: sag Steve Spagnola, like, I mean, it's just going to be.

448
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really really fun to watch. It's kind

449
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: of like an old Guard versus the new Guard in sense.

450
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: Too, you've got like the and like just back to

451
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: the point of like the Chiefs have been there before,

452
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers of it's kind of a new

453
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: thing for all of them. So I mean, yeah, I

454
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. It's very compelling. I will say, I.

455
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 5: Just hope it's a it's a close game. I hope

456
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 5: that regardless of which team wins, I hope.

457
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 6: It's it's not any type of blowout. I know.

458
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure says that right in the script.

459
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 5: I know fans generally tend to like the higher scoring games,

460
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: like for me, I don't necessarily like sometimes I think

461
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 5: the lower scoring games are are equally as compelling just

462
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 5: to watch those defenses make things happen. But as long

463
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 5: as it's a close game, I'll be happy.

464
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: I agree, But I don't agree.

465
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: Because I'm just thinking about like everyone that so like

466
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: my eight year old niece right like, she only is

467
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: watching the game to see when the camera's going to

468
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: Panda Taylor Swift. But at the same time, she wants

469
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: to see a high scoring game because if it doesn't pan,

470
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: she's like, oh my gosh, Like this is football, Like

471
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: this is you know, it's like a PAC twelve football game.

472
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: L So I'm interested to see like how would play out.

473
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: But I'm sure to your I mean us being working

474
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: in football, we do want to see a really good game.

475
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: But for like the entertainers, like they want to see

476
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: fifty six to fifty three best. You're right, that's the

477
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: best case scenario for non football fans.

478
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 7: But if you think about like the previous game they

479
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 7: played at Super Bowl fifty four, it was twenty one

480
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 7: to ten and then all of a sudden the Chiefs

481
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 7: went on a twenty one rip run to win the game.

482
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 7: So like it there was kind of the the yoyo

483
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 7: on something like that too, where it's just like all

484
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 7: of a sudden, the super intense. And even think about

485
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 7: the one that we talk about the Patriots coming back

486
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 7: against the Falcons, like the idea of what that game was,

487
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 7: You're like, this is a blowout.

488
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 4: People left it.

489
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 7: It was twenty to three and then all of a sudden,

490
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 7: we're going to overtime.

491
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: Like thecond favorite super Bowl.

492
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 7: That's but just the drama of all of that kind

493
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 7: of thing. If you get a game like that, that

494
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 7: for true. Here's the other thing for the league, like

495
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 7: if you have people the super Bowl tends to attract

496
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 7: probably the most viewing for any kind of a casual fan.

497
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 7: If you have an entertaining game like that, it will

498
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 7: hook people even more to say, this is really fun

499
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: to watch.

500
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 4: Yea. So I'm hoping, you know, like.

501
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: You to say, a lot of new fans out there.

502
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: That's the thing.

503
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 7: Like the idea of just having the Super Bowl as

504
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 7: the culmination of your entire season. You want it to

505
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 7: be a good, fun, competitive game versus being some sort

506
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 7: of a blowout, just so that you feel like there's

507
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 7: kind of that capstone to the chaos of what just

508
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 7: happened for the entire season.

509
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 4: So I'm really looking forward to it.

510
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 7: One side note, you were talking before about coaching, the

511
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 7: idea of think about Andy Reid's legacy. You know, for

512
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 7: a while, even before he got to Kansas City, there's

513
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 7: kind of a question of while he can't you know,

514
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 7: couldn't get it done, in Philly and just didn't work

515
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 7: out that way. Since then, he's now this is his

516
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 7: fifth super Bowl in nineteen seasons as a coach, and

517
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 7: he's you know, trying to run it back to see

518
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 7: if he can try and catch Belichick, Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh,

519
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 7: or Joe Gibbs for Lombards, and those are the only

520
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 7: coaches that have ever had three Super Bowl trophies in.

521
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 4: There or more in their career. Crazy.

522
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 7: So to have a guy like Andy Reid too, like

523
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: he tends to be a guy who everyone just kind

524
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 7: of points at him like this is your prototypical, prototypical

525
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 7: NFL coach. And I think for a guy like him,

526
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 7: this game is going to mean even extra just to

527
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 7: be able to then you know, check that box and

528
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 7: feel like he's elevated himself in history to one of

529
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 7: the top NFL coaches that's ever been involved in the game.

530
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 7: So really for his side too, just to see how

531
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: it all goes.

532
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you definitely have to mention his name and all

533
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: time greats if he can pull this one off. Kyle Shanahan,

534
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean, trying to get his first one as a

535
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: head coach. I believe he's going to cement his legacy

536
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: if he can finally get one. Also with the roster

537
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: that he has, I mean just being in my opinion,

538
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: the one of the in my opinion, the greatest offensive

539
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 3: mind in the game today. If he can pull one off,

540
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: this will be this will finally submit his legacy. But

541
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: before we move to Vikings football, I'm interested to see

542
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: how the bidding for Super Bowl sites are going to

543
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: look going forward, because the next three next year is

544
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: in New Orleans. The year afterwards, twenty twenty six is

545
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 3: Sint Santa Clair. Forty nine ers are hosting that at

546
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: Levi Stadium, and then twenty twenty seven is at Sofi Stadium.

547
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 3: So I know the Vikings hosted the Super Bowl in

548
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, but I'm interested to see from a business perspective,

549
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: how do teams in the Midwest or like the Vikings,

550
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: I guess, get their bid accepted trying to host the

551
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowl understan standing that this is starting to become

552
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: more of an entertainment event versus football game. So I'm

553
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: not sure if you guys have comments about that, but

554
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 3: I just came to mind just thinking about the future

555
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: of the NFL.

556
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: Is always into the entertain sure.

557
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look what they've turned the draft into and

558
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: you see the Pro Bowl, and you know that's that's

559
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. But I think that's also something

560
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: like the NFL in the football is so powerful and

561
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: you see that with new fans just because their favorite

562
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: musician is now attending games, like you can grow and

563
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: cultivate an audience in football is so powerful. It can

564
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: bring music and a lifestyle and fashion all together. And

565
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: so I think that's the beauty of it because it's

566
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: something that everyone can get along with.

567
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: You know, it kind of can.

568
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: Like you said, your niece is watching for those reasons,

569
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: and now she's interested, maybe she learns she really likes it,

570
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she's like, man, my uncle

571
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: knew what he was talking about, right.

572
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 3: I haven't told her many good things in her life,

573
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: this is one.

574
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: I guess.

575
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 7: The thing on my end is, you know, you're talking

576
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 7: about if it's if kind of prospects for Midwest teams

577
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 7: and things like that. Given the fact that they've even

578
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 7: just announced that the Super Bowl is Las Vegas is

579
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 7: now in the mix. Is one of the regulars for this,

580
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 7: So I think it's between so far those guys Phoenix,

581
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 7: Atlanta is now in the mix. You know, Jerry Jones

582
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 7: is definitely going to be pushing to try to get

583
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 7: him down in at and T. Like, I think the

584
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 7: idea for a lot of these teams, as these new

585
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 7: stadiums get built, it's kind of the idea of as

586
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 7: long as the infrastructure in the area surrounding it can

587
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 7: can support the event, you're probably going to get one.

588
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 7: But after that it gets a little dicey, and especially

589
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 7: when like we're all just talking about the fact that

590
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 7: this is supposed to be kind of a more than

591
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 7: the game type event with all of the ancillary stuff

592
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 7: going on outside of that. They want the nice weather.

593
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 7: They want fans and people to be attracted to go

594
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 7: to those places and not feel like they're going to

595
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 7: be possibly, you know, standing out in sub zero weather.

596
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 7: So like, just in general, I think it gets harder

597
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 7: and harder for non warm weather sites to be able

598
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 7: to get these things. But you'll see it periodically thrown

599
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 7: in there, especially as more and more of these new

600
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 7: stadiums are being confirmed and starting to be built. So true,

601
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 7: and that's the thing, Like, you know, I think as

602
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 7: much as the debate has happened, the idea of them

603
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 7: playing Lambeau. I mean, they've been pushing for that forever,

604
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 7: and I think the two biggest things that kill them.

605
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: One is the weather, two is just all of the

606
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 7: site commitments that have to happen.

607
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: I think.

608
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, if I remember right when it was Super Bowl

609
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 7: was here, I think it was over thirty thousand hotel

610
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 7: rooms had to be confirmed to be able to do

611
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 7: that within the area, And so for a place like that,

612
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 7: and there are other smaller market type teams that they

613
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 7: really struggle with some of that kind of a deal.

614
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 7: So I think it just puts another barrier to entry

615
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 7: for some of them. But you know, I think the

616
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 7: NFL is going to look at it and say, if

617
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 7: it's going to attract the ability to bring people to

618
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 7: another site and celebrate football, They're going to do whatever they.

619
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 4: Can to make it happen.

620
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 6: I think it'll end up being in Nashville when the Titans.

621
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: Get literally took my words off the stadium.

622
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but they have I think they have

623
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: the infrastructure now that can support it, with the new

624
00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: stadium coming.

625
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 7: If you think of a place like but if you

626
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 7: think about like Buffalo, right, yeah, like Buffalo is going

627
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 7: to be the same kind of a thing, like it

628
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 7: was similar to kind of our deal and we did

629
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 7: have the really cold snap that hit during that week.

630
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 7: So just but just the in general this year, right,

631
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 7: So that's the thing is so just in general, I

632
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 7: think that it those kind of pieces do come into play,

633
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 7: and I think having it in a place like Las

634
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 7: Vegas that handles all the conventions, handles all the chaos

635
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 7: while they're going to make it a boatload of money

636
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 7: and you know, all the private jet spots are all

637
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 7: sold out for the week, Like they are definitely going

638
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: to be able to handle this, and it'll be fun

639
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 7: just to see how in totality the city reacts and

640
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 7: how the NFL reacts to the event.

641
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: Well, look, we just replaced our turf at us Bank Stadium,

642
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: so look we're trying to put our bid in or

643
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: make some some upgrades as we move forward to put

644
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: our bid in for the Super Bowl. But lindsay, as

645
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: we move forward, just talking Vikings, this is going to

646
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 3: be a huge off season for Kusi and his staff.

647
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: Understanding that have have you had a chance to I

648
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: mean it's still kind of fresh, but have you had

649
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: a chance to dissect this offseason and start to put

650
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: things together. What you're most looking forward to when it

651
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: comes to this Vikings team hopefully getting back in the

652
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: playoffs in twenty twenty four.

653
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: To be honest, I think at this point really only

654
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 5: high level, Like there's obviously more that I want to do,

655
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 5: and I think as we get into, like as I

656
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 5: get into learning more of the players at the combine

657
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 5: and stuff like that, I'll probably have more thoughts. But

658
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: you know, this is obviously the easy answer. But I

659
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 5: think that there's just what happens at the quarterback position.

660
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 5: Like I think there's things like that where there will

661
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: be Domino's that will fall. So I think quarterback is

662
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 5: obviously a big question. If we resign Kirk, if we

663
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 5: draft somebody. I think the thing is too it can

664
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 5: also be both and doesn't necessarily have to be one

665
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 5: or the other. There are so many scenarios that could

666
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: happen there. I'm also interested to see, you know, what

667
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: we do at the linebacker position. I believed it, Like

668
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 5: I believe Jordan Hicks and Troy Dye are both set

669
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: to become free agents, so we bring back one both

670
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: neither like, so I'm interested to see what happens there.

671
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: And then I think in the secondary too, like we

672
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 5: have such a young secondary, I think it could be

673
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: bolstered a little bit. Maybe that's something that we look

674
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 5: at in free agency. And then there's questions too as

675
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 5: to Harrison Smith, and you know, he said at the

676
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 5: end of the season he's not going to make any

677
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 5: decisions as far as if he'll be back if he retires,

678
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 5: if you know, I think he doesn't know yet what's

679
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: going to happen.

680
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 6: So lots of questions there.

681
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: But but I would be interested in seeing the team

682
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 5: look to free agency pool maybe to bring in another

683
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 5: experienced veteran there in the secondary, just because we're so young,

684
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 5: and I think that would be helpful.

685
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think overall, like you you nailed, like the

686
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 7: highlight of the top, probably three conversations going on with

687
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 7: this Spikings off season. I think between Senior Bowl just

688
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 7: finishing up, there's the HBCU Bowl coming up there, there's

689
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 7: a whole lot of pieces that are gonna be hitting

690
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 7: and let alone them buying hitting basically first week of March. Like, yeah,

691
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 7: everyone in classic question what do you do in the

692
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 7: off season, Like there is no off season as.

693
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 4: You sleep yeah, that was so you went to the

694
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl.

695
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 7: Now we got the Super Bowl, and now you know,

696
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 7: more and more chast just keeps coming up week after week.

697
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 7: So it is the fun exciting side of it. You know,

698
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 7: even for college football, they get a little bit of

699
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 7: a reprieve while the NFL season is finishing. But then

700
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 7: as soon as the NFL season's done, or even as

701
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 7: it's finishing, you're already launching into what's happening with those

702
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 7: college prospects, and you're starting to see a lot more

703
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 7: discussion of whether you know who's going to be available

704
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: for trading this offseason, or even you know who's going

705
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 7: to get cut blah blah blah. So between all of

706
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 7: that plus the college recruits and as you said, I think,

707
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 7: you know, the quarterback position is probably the biggest domino

708
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 7: that you've got to figure out. And so just in general,

709
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 7: you know, we're already seeing all of these storylines starting

710
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 7: to pop up, and it just kind of proves like,

711
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 7: you know, no rest for the weary and and just

712
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 7: jump into it and keep it going as much as

713
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 7: you can because everyone is just hope and basically anticipating

714
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 7: that this Vikings team is going to reset and get

715
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 7: another run here for the playoff run in.

716
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty four.

717
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: Think I said the other day to someone, I was like, yeah,

718
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: right now, it's talking season. Yeah, you know, like we've

719
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: got the Pro Bowl in the rearviews to robopping the rearview.

720
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Then all we're going to do is talk for the

721
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: next few months about what's going on, how it's the reactions,

722
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: the the Yeah, you're just trying to figure things out,

723
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: what you know, what what the front office is going

724
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: to do and the combine and all that stuff. So

725
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of exciting it kind of Yeah, it makes me

726
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: a little nervous, like I'm always like, oh, what's going

727
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: to happen this week?

728
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: Or I got a little excited.

729
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 5: One thing that I think is going to be interesting

730
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: that they were talking about at the press conference to

731
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: open the Senior Bowl. I was going through and listening

732
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 5: to that, and I hadn't thought about this perspective. But

733
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: because of nil money and all that kind of stuff,

734
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 5: which is really good for college athletes, right, But because

735
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 5: of that, they were saying that a lot of the

736
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 5: players who may have in previous years been Day three

737
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 5: picks end up staying in college for another season.

738
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 6: Due to nil money, and so that's good for the player.

739
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: About how does that impact Day three of the draft?

740
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: How does that impact like the depth of talent that's.

741
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 4: Available there and undrafted for agents too.

742
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, So I don't necessarily have an opinion, but

743
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 5: I just think it'll be interesting to see what type

744
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 5: of impact that has on the draft, on the undrafted

745
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: pool as well as players start to stay in a

746
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 5: little bit longer, develop a little bit longer at the

747
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 5: college level.

748
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, guy like Sam Hartman comes to mind, played at

749
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: Wake Forest for a few years, went to Notre Dame

750
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: last years. This used his COVID year as his fifth

751
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 3: year and had his best year of his college career.

752
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: And now, looking back a couple of years ago, you're thinking, Okay,

753
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: well this guy may be a third or fourth round pick.

754
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: Now he has that experience. How does that How does

755
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: that change the value of what he can do in

756
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: the end, understanding that he has extra years of college,

757
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: extra years of experience. So that's a really good point,

758
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: really good question, really good insights for you know, Quasi

759
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: and all the general managers that are going through that

760
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: process this year, because you do have to weigh all

761
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: of that money like, how does that affect motivation? How

762
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: does that affect Like I think to your point of

763
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: NILS being beneficial for college athletes, I also think it

764
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: kind of waters down the middle of the draft in

765
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: my opinion, just simply due to the fact that, all right,

766
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: are these guys just playing for money or are they

767
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: actually playing for a job in the NFL? Because, yeah,

768
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: the NFL is a is a dream, right, it's still

769
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 3: and you know the goal for a lot of these guys.

770
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: But when you get a first round pick in who's

771
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 3: been making more money in college than he did in

772
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: the NFL, Like, how does that affect how you grade

773
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: the guy based off of his performance in college? So

774
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: a lot that could be a podcast in itself right there.

775
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: But I think those are interesting, very into resting, and

776
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: it's going to be a very interesting off season as

777
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 3: we start to look forward and thinking of opportunities for

778
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 3: future Vikings being here in Purple this upcoming off season. So, lindsay,

779
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: my last question to you is anything that you can

780
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 3: plug on the website that you're working going or that

781
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 3: you Craig or Ellis are working going right now that

782
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: Vikings fans can can look forward to.

783
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely appreciate that. I always always appreciate fans

784
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 5: jumping on and seeing what we're putting out right now.

785
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 6: I know that we've.

786
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 5: Had some mock draft stuff already coming out, definitely relevant

787
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 5: as we're talking about right now. Craig was at the

788
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 5: Senior Bowl and had some good stuff coming out. I

789
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 5: have a couple of fun just features that I'm working on.

790
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 5: I had some Probowl features this past week, but I

791
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 5: think people are familiar with JJ Vikings on Twitter and

792
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 5: kind of the that Vikings fan base there. I was

793
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 5: able to speak with with him and his mom, Mabel,

794
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: and have a fun story coming out on him next week. Also,

795
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 5: keep an eye out for a story on three Vikings

796
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 5: fans who are international. We've got a UK fan, a

797
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: Canadian fan, both of those are season ticket members, and

798
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 5: then a longtime fan who lives in Australia.

799
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 6: So some interesting off season stuff coming up.

800
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: We also have an episode of Pick six coming out

801
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: this week. Your questions have been very welcome. I highly

802
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: encourage you to download the Vikings app if you have

803
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: not already, and sign up for those notification emails, because

804
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: there's going to be a form that you can fill

805
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: out and submit questions anonymously, which I well, you don't

806
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: have to be anonymous, but I think when I put

807
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: it up on Twitter sometimes maybe there are fans out

808
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: there that might not want to like put their question

809
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: out there for everyone to see. And so this way

810
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: you can submit your questions and I'm the only one

811
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: that sees it, so you know, and don't be offended

812
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: if I kind of switch your questions up a little bit.

813
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, guys, we can't have like super super negative

814
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: questions like we don't want you to be like why

815
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: why why are we not winning the super Bowl or

816
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: something like.

817
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 4: I'm We're we're going Those are great questions.

818
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: We're all about the constructive criticism, So you know, I

819
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: don't I don't think you know the way that I

820
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: look at it when I don't know why I'm getting

821
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: on the soapbox right now, I was not planning on it.

822
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: But the way I look at it is like, if

823
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: you're submitting a question to me that was like oh,

824
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, like like oh, ask crazy, what's he up to?

825
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: Why is he doing this? If you don't feel comfortable

826
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: telling that to his face.

827
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 6: Neither do I.

828
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: So I'm probably not going to ask that question.

829
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: So I like to get good answers and constructive answers,

830
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: constructive questions things like that. So, now that I'm off

831
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: my soapbox, please tune in to Pick six.

832
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: A lot of content on Vikings dot com. Vikings fans,

833
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: so make sure you stay tuned for the most up

834
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 3: to date coverage of the team.

835
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 4: It's going to be a fun week.

836
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Week that is the the ultimate goal of

837
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: every team in the NFL. Unfortunately the Vikings didn't make it.

838
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: But the best thing about super Bowl Week is that

839
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: next week every team is oh and oh, and every

840
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: team has the same goal going forward. So hopefully, Vikings fans,

841
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: we can get that ultimate i'm Bardi trophy that we

842
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 3: all dream for. Jayde deserves it more than if you

843
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 3: listen to his stories off camera. He deserves it more

844
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: than anybody. So Vikings fans, thank you for tuning in.

845

Speaker 6: Jane?

848
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,080
