Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The NFL has admitted its screwed over the Minnesota Vikings,
yet what is being done about it? Absolutely nothing. I'm
gonna tell you how the NFL screwed the Vikings and
how the NFL is screwing the Vikings twice, but first
I need to tell you about zero Res carpet cleaning

(00:21):
because it's spooky season and right now they are offering
three carpets cleaned for only one hundred and twenty nine dollars.
If you want to take advantage of this special deal,
go to zero Resminnesota dot com and tell them you
heard about it from the brawl with Tim Paul. Zero
Res spell at flowers or backwards, it spells the same,

(00:41):
zero Resminnesota dot Com. The NFL continues to go down
its path of not taking accountability for their own mistakes,
and we have gotten to a point where it is outrageous.
The NFL made a massive mistake and they were super

(01:04):
lucky that it didn't change the outcome at the end
of the game, but it certainly changed the strategy within
the game. Will Rikers kick in London, The NFL says this.
According to Jordan Schultz and his sources, will Rikers agents
and the team's front office requested that the NFL remove

(01:24):
his misskick from last week's London game after it clearly
struck a camera cable, causing the ball to take an
unnatural turn to the right. The NFL acknowledged it was
a miscall, but ruled they will not make the statistical adjustment.

(01:44):
So the NFL screws the Vikings by putting a cable
in a place where it shouldn't belong. And then they
stick their finger up the Vikings a hole and say
we're acknowledging the miscall, but we're not gonna do anything
about it. Tough luck. This is one of the more
ridiculous things that I have ever seen from an operational perspective.

(02:08):
This is a great opportunity to step up and say
I made a mistake, we missed it. Here's your refund,
and Vikings, I'm sorry for doing that to you. It
won't happen again. The NFL compston says, you know what,
it was a mistake, but screw you. We're in charge.
We are not going to take accountability for this. So

(02:30):
up yours, Minnesota Vikings. And this comes to a team
that has consistently played overseas for the last few years.
If I am a Minnesota Vikings employee, I am putting
my foot down next season and saying, I'm not going
to London because.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
The last time we did, you screwed us, and you
didn't even admit that you screwed us by changing these
statistical adjustment I'm not going.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
The Vikings put in so much work to play overseas.
Back to back weeks, they moved their entire organization to
Dublin and then to London, and in return, the NFL says, fu,
that's what the NFL is saying to the Vikings. Few

(03:22):
The Vikings had to go to extreme measures to make
sure the team was best prepared to play in two
overseas areas, and let's just admit that's not ideal conditions.
And I'm sure what's gonna happen is the NFL is
going to write to the Vikings again and say, hey,
will you play in London again next year? And if

(03:44):
I'm Kavin O'Connell, I remember this right here. I remember
when the NFL didn't take accountability for their actions and say, nope,
we're staying in the States. Screw you. You would think
that the least the the NFL could do is take
accountability for their mistake and say are bad. Here you go,

(04:08):
won't happen again. But they acknowledged their mistake, but they're
not gonna do anything about it. Yeah, it was on us,
but you know what, what's done is done. Ridiculous. This
is the NFL screwing the Vikings. Yet, if you ask
the NFL a simple question, are you accountable for your actions?
Of course they're gonna say yes, but this is evidence

(04:31):
that they are not. I would love to ask Roger
Candell a simple question, are you accountable for your actions?
You think he's gonna say no. Is absolutely going to
say yes. Yet I would point him to this video
and say, no, you're not. You admitted a mistake and
did nothing about it. And Alec Lewis, the Vikings beat
reporter for The Athletic, pointed out that the cable and

(04:55):
the Jets Broncos London game on Sunday was in the
exact same spot as it was in the Vikings Browns game,
a straight middle finger to the Vikings organization. Unreal. If
