Speaker 1 (00:06):
A topic that needs to be discussed this morning is
the topic of Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison because
there's a bigger issue at play here other than does
he want to be traded for the Minnesota Vikings, does
he not like his tie with the Minnesota Vikings? Blah
(00:28):
blah blah blah blah, because that's been the discussion after
he made a cryptic Instagram post following the Minnesota Vikings
loss to the Los Angeles Rams, which includes a free
three quote on a picture and an Instagram story. But
(00:53):
let me first tell you about Hocheland Farm. Hochland Farm
has the best or Tashley raised one grass fed beef.
This beef is Solda quarters and halfs and they have
custom sample packs so you can try before you buy
ground beef, sirloin steakes, t bone steaks, chuck roast, and
plenty more. Contact Hoakland Farm today because it makes the
(01:13):
most sense. Four dollars and fifteen cents a pound is
what my wife and I got it for this year.
You go to Walmart chuck roast eight dollars a pound,
nine dollars a pound. You go to Walmart Aldi look
at their steaks. Look at their rotationally grays grass fed
beef and it's not near four dollars and fifteen cents
a pound. It makes sense logistically, makes sense financially, and
(01:36):
this stuff you know, is the best for you as well.
So Hoakland Farm contact them today at nine to five
two four nine one five four one and get twenty
percent off your first order by mentioning the Minnesota tim
Podcast nine five two four nine one one five four one. Okay,
so Jordan Addison, let me just show you the post
(01:59):
that it made if you have not yet seen it already,
here's the post. Jordan Addison free thirty free three picture
of himself on his Instagram story following the Vikings loss
to the Los Angeles Rams. How much do we lose
by by like ten thirty to twenty something like that.
(02:20):
Whatever Vikings drop to five and two, they lose two
in a row. So that's the picture, and that's gonna
get instant reaction because of the season that Jordan Addison
is having so far. He has a very good game
against the Green Bay Packers. But you look at how
many catches Addison has had this year. Okay, and I'm
(02:42):
gonna get to the bigger points soon, so hang with me.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Aaron Jones has twenty two catches.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Justin Jefferson obviously will be first on the team forty
one catches, Jalen Naylor fourteen catches, and you have to
be fair here. Addison played in two less games because
of his injury that he received to his ankle earlier
in the season, but he's still supposed to be the
number two option, the number two wide receiver, so the
(03:12):
fact that he has as many catches as Johnny Munt
is a little concerning. Jordan Addison fourteen catches, Jalen Naylor
fourteen catches, Aaron Jones twenty two catches, so he's been
the second best wide receiver on the team so far
this year. And Jordan Aison also only has one touchdown
catch this year, which a part of that can be
(03:33):
on Sam Darnold the throw that he attempted to Justin
Jefferson in double coverage against the Los Angeles Rams. When
Jofferson fell over in the red zone, Jordan Andison was
opened by five feet and he didn't even look his way,
and that can be the downer of having a wide
(03:55):
receiver like Justin Jefferson who could make so many spectacular plays,
you force some rows that aren't there. And when he
got a receiver like Jordan Addison who's really talented, and
you don't even look his direction even though he's wide open,
and it would have been an easy touchdown by the
Minnesota Vikings, which became a field goal, which made a
(04:16):
massive difference in that football game.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So he makes this.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Free three post following the Vikings loss. And the question
that people are trying to answer, which I already mentioned,
is is Jordan Adisen trying to be traded? I think
the Nightcap Show with Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharp did
a reaction to that, which got Jordan Adsen to react
(04:43):
to it. Take a look at this reaction by Jordan Addison.
If you're watching this on YouTube, you're getting it. He
just reacts. He said, do you homework because a free
three is this slogan that Jordan Adison has used ever
since college. But here's the problem with Addison's reasoning. Number One,
(05:04):
the free three posts that he shared on the Nightcap
Show was him in a Pittsburgh uniform the Minnesota Vikings
drafted him out of USC.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You're supporting their opinion of of you wanting to play
somewhere else, so free three and then you transfer to USC.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Okay, Jordan Addison lacks a lot of awareness, and that
might be the bigger problem here, because this guy has
a history of stupid decisions, going back to his rookie
season in the Minnesota Vikings. Before training camp even started
(06:03):
to believe it was yeah in July. Uh, well, well
knows it. Yeah July, I got that right, Jordan and Adison.
Let me share this story with you. Okay, Let's see here,
Jordan Addison driving one hundred and forty miles per hour
because of a dog emergency. What kind of emergency are
(06:28):
we talking about here? He's driving one hundred and forty
miles per hour after the Minnesota Vikings drafted him in
July because his dog was having an emergency like three
or four o'clock in the morning. There's no doubt Jordan
Addison has talent, but this guy is clueless. The next
(06:52):
story that I'm gonna share with you, Jordan Addison, happened
to July again the very next year.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Look at this.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Jordan Addison vows to keep learning after d ui arrest.
I think the DUI res happened like a month prior
or a few weeks prior to this art koe being written.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Jordan Addison in the middle of California in Los Angeles,
just chilling his car, passed out on the freeway. Cops
had to come up to him allegedly. But I mean,
it seems pretty factual here, right, And this happened what
(07:36):
a week or two after Minnesota Vikings draft pick third
or Firth router Kyrie Jackson died because of a drunk
driver ran into him, and the whole world's reacting to
it talking about how sad of a situation it is,
because it is Vikings have the patches, they got his
(07:56):
number on the uniforms, on the practice field, everywhere. And
then your one be superstar receiver that you hope takes
a massive jump in year two because he played so
well in year one without Justin Jefferson goes and does
the exact thing that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Killed his teammate.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
The article says this, just before midnight local time in
July twelve, the California Higher Patrol officer found Adison asleep
behind the wheel of a car on Interstate one oh
five near Los Angeles International Airport. The car was blocking
a lane of the freeway, and a DUI investigation led
to his arrest. As of Wednesday, there are no formal
chargers documents filed in the court as in could face
(08:40):
discipline the court date I guess got pushed back. This
incident occurred nearly a year after Adison was sight of
her driving one hundred and forty miles per hour on
a Minnesota freeway in July twenty twenty three. Whatever the
case may be about this free three crap, which he
denies is a state about, you know, wanting to be
(09:04):
released or unleashed by the Minnesota Vikings. This guy has
no credibility, so how can you believe it? He dries
one hundred and forty miles per hour and then he
gets a DUI following the passing of his Vikings teammate
to a DUI driver allegedly. I don't know if it's
(09:25):
factual or what the evidence is, but that seems to
be the case allegedly. And now he's saying that his
free three thing is just a slogan that he's had
ever since he was in college, which it started in
(09:45):
Pittsburgh he transferred to USC The picture say's free three
am I just dumb here or something like it seems
pretty applicable to me.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Like this, the fact that after a loss.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
After a two game losing streak, then he posts this,
which is of course gonna get reaction after he has
two catches for hardly any yards against the Los Angeles Rams.
How are people supposed to react to this? What's our
reaction supposed to be? Oh yeah, oh oh, he just
(10:26):
wants to be He has no awareness, none, whatsoever. And
that's what he's proved over the course of his Minnesota
Vikings short time on the football field.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
This is the second year and he's already.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Had two massive indictments driving one hundred and forty miles
power n a dui. So you're losing credibility day after
day when he posts stupid garbage like this. How can
I believe that he doesn't mean that he wants to
get traded or or play for another team When he's
(11:07):
come up with stupid excuses like my dog is having
an emergency before to drive one hundred and forty miles
per hour.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It just makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And this dude lacks awareness and he's looting, losing credibility
by day.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
How can we believe.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
What he says when this is just a slogan of
his he's used since college.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You did it after a two game losing streak.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
This is moronic because of course we're gonna react this way.
There's no other way to react. And it's not like
he has a passer like, Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
I mean, you know you've had, you've earned so much
credibility of what you've done off the football field that
(11:56):
will just believe you this time, like you know, obviously meanly.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's not one of those situations.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's not like this is a situation where Justin Jefferson
is Ben drama free, handled the contract negotiations like a
boss and then had one stupid mistake. No, this guy's
had a mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake. He's talented,
he's super talented, but he's proved over and over again
(12:26):
that he lacks any self awareness whatsoever.
