I mean, there has to 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: be a couple of exploring plans you've got made in 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: between the production meetings and such. 41 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah.

It sounds like a nice postgame celebration there. 47 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: But yeah, definitely have some plans for after what I'm 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: expecting is going to be a great game on something. 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously there's the game is going to 50 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: be the focus, and we are we are going to 51 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: get there and talk about that, right, But the excitement 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: around bringing the sport of American football, I guess we 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: could call it to Ireland and being a part of that, 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: what does that mean to you? 55 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 4: Uh, this entire process, moment, game day, weekend, Tatum, It's 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: an honor and a privilege, right, I think you probably 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: will feel this way. I'm sure everybody who's going to 58 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: be playing, all the fans who are making the trip. 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure you've seen that ticket sales are 60 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 4: just off the charts as far as all the international 61 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 4: games that the NFL has done so far the United States. 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 4: Purchase tickets for this one are near or at the top. 63 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 4: Folks are just so excited to get to go to Ireland. 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: And even though folks there know this game to have 65 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: it be the real regular season introduction, to be a 66 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: very small part of this. Yeah, I don't even know 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: if honor and privilege do it justice. I think it's 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: going to be a really special day for all of 69 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: us who are lucky enough to be there. 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, very very well said it's going to 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: be exciting. Eighty thousand fans at kickoff. It's just the 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: energy is going to be. 73 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: Nuts, and not not just that. 74 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: It's it's Steelers fans and it's Viking sans, two of 75 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: the I would say strongest fan bases, you know, dating 76 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: way back to when they faced off in Super Bowls 77 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: against each other in the seventies and things like that. 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's going to be really really cool. It 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: really will. 80 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: But getting back onto the current Vikings team, what were 81 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: your initial impressions of their win over the Bengals? 82 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: Tatum or is this an NFL regular season game? I mean, 83 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure you all have spent a couple of days 84 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 4: already just talking about how wild that performance was by 85 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: your Vikings. The stuff that Isaiah Rodgers did in one 86 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: half is stuff that, as his teammates were saying, As 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 4: I know, everybody's been discussing the last couple of days 88 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: not something you see from a football player at any 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: level in an entire football game. So I think that 90 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: was so special to get everyone excited for this game. 91 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 4: And then new quarterback. I think we all want to 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: see JJ back as quickly as he gets back from 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 4: that high ankle, right, But the fact that you get 94 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: Carson a game before these two games abroad, I think 95 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 4: that is huge. I think this was the team that 96 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 4: I expect Vikings fans were hoping to see this season. 97 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: Weren't sure if they would, weren't sure when they would 98 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: because there are a lot of new pieces. But yeah, 99 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: if that doesn't get you fired up for the next 100 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: couple of weeks of Viking football, I don't know what will. 101 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, keeping that momentum up will obviously be super key, 102 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: and it helps when your defense can produce five turnovers. However, 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, just as impressive 104 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: the Steelers defense really keeping them in their game against 105 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots last week. You've got such an offense driven league. 106 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to see all the touchdowns and all the 107 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: offense and the passing yards and such. But now we 108 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: have these two defenses against each other. What's intriguing about 109 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: that for you? 110 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head Tat. 111 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: What's intriguing to me is that at this point, at 112 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: least in the season, as we approach Week four, so 113 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: many similarities between these two teams, right, not just the 114 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 4: great franchises and the great fan bases, but two teams 115 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 4: still trying to settle into new quarterbacks. Two teams whose defenses, 116 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 4: as you mentioned, were expected to lead the way for 117 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 4: both of them this year. I mean, the Steelers have 118 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: the highest paid defense in the NFL. They went out 119 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 4: and got a Darius Slay, They went out and got 120 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: guys to compliment TJ want to make this, hopefully in Pittsburgh, 121 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 4: a Steeler defensive old but until last week, just like 122 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: your Vikings, hadn't really seen much, you know, kind of 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 4: a disappointing first couple of weeks. So I'm intrigued by 124 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: how many similarities there are between these two teams, and 125 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 4: now who can make it to and Row. I was 126 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: cheering for both teams last weekend because I was hoping 127 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: that there would be, you know, some momentum for both teams. 128 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 4: Everybody feeling good going into what we expect to be 129 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: a big game. So the fact that both teams are 130 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: two and one kind of seemed like they started to 131 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 4: figure stuff out, especially on the defensive side of the 132 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: football last week. Yeah, I'm very excited to see how 133 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 4: these defenses can carry that over into Week four. 134 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: And now that we have. 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: Another Aaron Rodgers matchup for a Vikings team on the horizon. 136 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: This team faced them last year against when he was 137 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: with the Jets in London, so now it's in Ireland 138 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: with the Steelers. What have you seen in Aaron Rodgers 139 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: so far this season? Are we going to see the 140 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: same ol like confident guy? 141 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I don't think that confidence Tatum is ever 142 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: going away. And this feels like one of those full 143 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 4: circle moments for me. So I actually went to cal 144 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: when Aaron was the quarterback at count That's how old 145 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: this girl is. I mean, we're talking about the forty 146 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 4: one year old, but this forty two year old is 147 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: just laughing that the first regular season game I'm going 148 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 4: to get to call after I covered him all those 149 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 4: years ago, back to college. But yeah, I think that 150 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: Aaron is going to be Aaron. I think there's a 151 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: lot of questions right now when it comes to this 152 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: Steeler offense, right, the checkdowns have been great, but where 153 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 4: are they explosives? Right? DK metcalf has dropped a lot 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: of footballs. We know he has that big play potential, 155 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: but when are they going to connect? Because so far, 156 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: it seems like it's great to have a tight ends 157 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: like Pat Fryarmouth. I know you all love TJ. Hawkinson 158 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: in company, right, Yep, it's great that Calvin Austin kind 159 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: of seems I know you guys have watched Aaron since 160 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: the beginning of his career, right, his Jordy Nelson connection, 161 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: his DeVante Adams connection. He always kind of finds that 162 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: one guy, and so far it seems like Calvin Austin 163 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 4: has been his guy. But it's been a hairy first 164 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 4: three weeks for that entire Steeler team. So Aaron's gotten 165 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: a lot more pressure than I think he would like 166 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: to see, right. Similar with the Vikings, whose offensive line 167 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 4: is going to perform better this week against the great 168 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 4: defenses we just discussed. So I know Aaron's going to 169 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 4: be rare and to go. I know the confidence is there, 170 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: but I think he's still searching for some rhythm with 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: this offense. There's been moments flashes for the Steelers offense 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: to the first three weeks, but there has not been 173 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: a chunk of time yet where I've said, Okay, Rogers 174 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: is settled in and this is what Tomlin and Steelers 175 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 4: fans were expecting. 176 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean, so much of what the Steelers offense needs 177 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: is to find that run game to establish their rhythm, 178 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: which conversely is something that really worked out well for 179 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: the Vikings last week. It felt like, you know, it 180 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: was really unfortunate because Aaron Jones is literally the best 181 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: human in the world. He goes down with his injuryies 182 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: on IR but then you have Jordan Mason and it 183 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: becomes such an amazing free agency snag to have gotten him, 184 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: and the dead of night just sniped him away from, 185 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, the forty nine Ers, and now he is 186 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: feeling like they have that groove. But now they're up 187 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: against a Steelers front who twenty eighth in rush defense. 188 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity for a nice run game performance 189 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: you think for this Vikings team. 190 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: I mean, it sure seems like there should be, right Tatum, 191 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: like this is setting up nicely, especially with hopefully Ryan 192 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 4: Kelly coming back on the offensive line for the Vikes. 193 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: I think that again mentioned Carson Wentz and having last 194 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: week hopefully built his confidence coming into this game in 195 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 4: Ireland against the Steelers. I don't see how that's not 196 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: the case with Jordan Mason as well. And you know 197 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: the fact that Xavier Scott flashed a little bit maybe 198 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: on a swing pass or two. I love when teams 199 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 4: have a couple of different options at running back, so 200 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: that whatever you can do to keep the defense guessing 201 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: just a little bit right, especially a good defense, a 202 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 4: veteran defense like the Steelers have. He can just cause 203 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: that momentary hesitation. Sometimes that's all you need as a 204 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: great player to make those plays. So yeah, I thought 205 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: Jordan going over one hundred last week. I thought Zager 206 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 4: making a couple of plays makers back. I mean, I 207 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 4: know we got to see a lot in the fourth quarter. 208 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: It was like a preseason game. It is. 209 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: I mean, no, you're right, I mean coach said it. 210 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: I think in his presser it was either yesterday or 211 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: he said it today on X's and nos. He he 212 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: said every player got on the field except for Desmond Ritter, 213 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: who's the emergency number three quarterback. Like, of course, not right, 214 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have made it out there, so it was 215 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: just it was one of those games where you could 216 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: get a lot of a lot of plays in the game. 217 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: And you know, Xavier Scott is someone who popped in 218 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: the preseason, so it's really good to see him out 219 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: there as well making plays. What surprised me the most 220 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: was I didn't realize Jordan Mason had never scored multiple 221 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: touchdowns or rush multiple rushing touchdowns in the game, so 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: that was a first for him too. But I'm I 223 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: have one more question before I let you get going, Kate. 224 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: The coaching matchup, I think is so intriguing as well. 225 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: You've got the young. 226 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Up and comer in Kevin O'Connell and then you've got 227 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: the veteran hard nos legend on the other side, because 228 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, every coach that gets a job wants to 229 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: have the longevity that Mike Tomlin has had. 230 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: What do you what do you admire? 231 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: I guess about being able to watch these two coaches 232 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: go head to head in action. 233 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that you brought that up. I think 234 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: just look across the sporting landscape in general, Tatum, right, like, 235 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 4: it is so hard to be a head coach that 236 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 4: stays in one place for gosh, more than five years 237 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 4: these days, more than ten years. That's incredible. As long 238 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 4: as has been in a football obsessed city like Pittsburgh, 239 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: I think that's phenomenal. So even if you're a Vikings 240 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 4: fan who absolutely despises the Pittsburgh Steelers, somewhere in there, 241 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 4: I think there's got to be at least a little 242 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: bit of respect for the consistency of football that he 243 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 4: has put together in his tenure. And then on the 244 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 4: flip side, such a huge fan of Kevin O'Connell, right, 245 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 4: I mean I loved getting some insight into him with 246 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 4: quarterback a couple of years ago. Because I cover all 247 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 4: the sports, Tatum, and you hear every coach say it's 248 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 4: a family. You know, it's all about building our team. 249 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: I love these guys like my sons. But I'm sure 250 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 4: you can attest to this. Once you get inside of 251 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: these sports, you realize that some of it's lip service, right, 252 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 4: And then there are those guys like Kevin who you 253 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 4: can just tell, truly care, this is not about a paycheck, 254 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 4: this is what he's supposed to do. He's got a 255 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: great scheme, yes, but you can tell there's a fun, 256 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: nominal human being in addition to them and the football knowledge. 257 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 4: Uh so, yeah, it seems like what he's done so 258 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 4: far still early days, and we know how quickly people 259 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: can get unhappy in sports. But wouldn't it be pretty 260 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: darn cool if ten years from now you and I 261 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 4: are talking again and Kevin has led you all to 262 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: a couple of super Bowls in the in between time 263 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 4: and found his quarterback, you know, and the continuity and 264 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 4: consistent greatness that Tomlin and the Steelers have had in 265 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: his tenure is the same in Minnesota. So yeah, fingers 266 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 4: crossed so much to be excited about. Tatum's such great 267 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 4: franchises and teams. 268 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: This is a great I know. 269 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: I cannot wait.

They became the fifth team in NFL history 305 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: to have multiple passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, defensive touchdowns, and 306 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: made field goals in a single game. They are the 307 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: only one of the five to do all of that 308 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: before the fourth quarter. Now, they hope to build off 309 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: that momentum when they travel to Doublin to face the Steelers. 310 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: And getting us ready for the first of two international 311 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: games is Pro Football Ireland's Mark Hogan.

It's something that we've 323 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: dreamed about in the infancy of fandom here. I mean 324 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: like this has been a fan base has been growing 325 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: and growing and growing. I mean I've been part of 326 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: it for maybe fifteen or twenty years, and I keep 327 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: on meeting people that were there long before me, thirty 328 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: forty year old fans. But there definitely has been a 329 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: growth in the last five to ten years, and it's 330 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: just culminated now that over the last three or four 331 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: we all started to feel, you know, it's it's the 332 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: for a gain that we know the affection that people 333 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: from your country and my country have towards one another, 334 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: to be able to bring them into such a relatively 335 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: small town or city that Dublin is. The buzz is 336 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: already starting. After I speak to you, I'm going to 337 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: go into Dublin just for a quick look around, because 338 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: it's like that energy is already there and whoever's coming. 339 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: If you're listening to this on a plane or whatever, 340 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: it's like, have the time of your life because we're 341 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: all looking forward to haven't you? 342 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 3: I love that? 343 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: What do you think the atmosphere will be like with 344 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: eighty thousand some odd fans inside Crook Park? 345 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you say inside Crow Park, but really is 346 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: a city wide event, and I think that's why the 347 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: atmosphere will start to build from Friday onwards. It's like 348 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: I think if anyone has ever gone or been lucky 349 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: enough to be in the Super Bowl city when it's 350 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: been going on, it's kind of like the Friday Saturdays 351 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: when they're real excitement there because it's always almost like 352 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: a bittersweetness to the actual game coming and everyone having 353 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 2: to go their separate way afterwards. But when you get 354 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: in Crow Park is open air, so it's obviously not 355 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: what you guys have with your dome, but like it 356 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 2: is open air, but it's loud. Like the number for 357 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 2: this game I think is now seventy seven thousand. They've 358 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: had to lose a few seats. Yeah, like you say, 359 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: it's only eighty two thousand, and it's definitely electric, So 360 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: it's like it's never hosted something like this though, Like 361 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 2: what crow Park is used for is amateur sports. And 362 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: when I say amateur sports, you play it's it's more 363 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: like Friday nightly for your high school football. It's more 364 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: comparable to that, even though it's played at a senior level, 365 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: like you know, actual like men playing it and women. 366 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: It is that you can only play and you cannot 367 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: transfer out, so to speaking of eighty two thousand people 368 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: that are rooting for you from your hometown or from 369 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 2: your county, that's what that stadium is used to. So 370 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: that's the kind of atmosphere that we're going to transferm 371 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: right into the NFL. 372 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: What Viking storyline intrigues you the most right now? 373 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: If well, I suppose, yeah, it's the defense for me really, 374 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 2: But like I guess it's funny when they're doing any 375 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: of the media calls over in Ireland right now, you 376 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: can anyone that knows how radio works. They're just putting 377 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: Isaiah or Minnesota Vikings into Google and Isaiah Rodgers is 378 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: coming up. So it is obviously a fascinating story that 379 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: they got the front of the cheap, but it's like, 380 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: I suppose it's gone back to last year. It's that 381 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: Brian Floor is defense, and it's like you can say 382 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: whatever you want about the offense. Of course, like Carson 383 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: Wentz is the story right now, but just how they're 384 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 2: obviously they showed over the weekend that they're able operating 385 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: all the cylinders and they're really going to be able 386 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: to shut down some massive offenses. And that's suppose what 387 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: you have to do when you see what the Detroit 388 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: Lions and green Bay Packers like, look at what green 389 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 2: Bay before week three, they're like, oh wow, like they 390 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: are going to be world beaters. They are Super Bowl contender. 391 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: Then they met the defense of the Cleveland Browns that 392 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 2: was able to shut them down. They didn't look anything 393 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: like a contender. So if that's what Minnesota is able 394 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: to do, it doesn't matter who they have a quarterback. 395 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: You know that defense is obvious going to bring them 396 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: long ways. And of course the Carson Wentz s toy 397 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: like I suppose you guys know way a better than me. 398 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: But it's like as I just dog too fast. Sorry, 399 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: I unders had the accident. JJ McCarty is not proven 400 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: still and I know that Carson Wentz certainly has a 401 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: ceiling to him, but it's like, I don't think that, 402 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: you know, the team has been any way limited just 403 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 2: because they've been forced into a guy that was nominated 404 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 2: as the number two. So that's what I'm interested now 405 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 2: for weeks four or five and sake to see how 406 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz getting on. 407 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned JJ McCarthy. We've got coach O'Connell. 408 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like maybe the Irish surnames of 409 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: some of our stars makes the Vikings a bit more 410 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: of an appealing team for Irish fans to root for. 411 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: Well, it's only a shame then that they're going against 412 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 2: the pittsburghs theaters who have been so good at banging 413 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: the drum for agetting the game to come here, the 414 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: Rooney family of Pittsburgh. I mean, Dan Rune used to 415 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 2: be the ambassador here, So I wouldn't go there to 416 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: FGMT it too much, only because you're going to get 417 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: that bushback. But it is funny. It's something that we've 418 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: used to kind of grow our own brand and to 419 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: grow awareness as the support was our layup question. Anytime 420 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: you go to you know, one of these events is 421 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: asked JJ McCarthy, Hage if any Irish two you or 422 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: asking coach either. So those little same boites that we've 423 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: gotten along the way have also you know, although they 424 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: were probably minor, they've all accumulated into this big thing 425 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: that it was actually the Super Bowl when Tampa Bay 426 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: was there. We at Sean Murphy bunting about his irishness, 427 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: and just because it was around the Super Bowl, a 428 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: lot of the coverage over here was able to lean 429 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: into it. And so you're dead right, all those little 430 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: minuscule things and names and hopefully there's a bit of 431 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 2: pride there too. But yeah, that they know their heritage 432 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: and Kevin O'Connell has spoken about London games before, so yeah, 433 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: if we can claim them, we must certainly will. There's 434 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: a flag football tournament coming up in LA in twenty 435 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 2: twenty seven Olympics. If any of them want to play 436 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: for us, will take. 437 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 3: Them there you go, I bet. 438 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Mark Hogan, really appreciate your time 439 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: today if you want to go follow their workover at 440 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: Pro Football Ireland as the Vikings prepare to play these 441 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: first ever NFL regular season game in Ireland.
