The Rangers are in the World Series. The Astros are

little bit. I have to look at the potential end
of the Astros dynasty. Dusty Baker looks like he's walking
away free agency to look at a lot of change.

(01:09):
on I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Know another ex met that can go on to great Now, sure,
why not we sent all the x mets to Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
You're all going, You're all gonna be in the Greater
State of Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, they go to a place where there's no income
tax after being taxed at an exorbitant rate in New
York and New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
So no tax, No, you're not lying to me. No tax, No,
there's no tax. I need to keep no tax. I
get to keep ten percent. There's no tax. No, no tax,
no tax. You're sure I'm not gonna sign and find
out it's extra tax, no, no doubt. Right, then I'll
come there. Uh but Monday Night football A shocker the
way the Vikings dominated the forty nine Ers for the
vast majority of this game. The Vikings came out and

(01:48):
they were aggressive from the get go. They were throwing
the ball downfield, they were trying everything they could to
put pressure on this forty nine or defense. And let's
be honest, it worked. Kirk Cousins three hundred yards passing
through three quarters. First guy to do that against the
forty nine ersince Josh Allen three and a half years ago.
All Right, this was a great strategy. This was not Hey,

(02:10):
let's see what we can do. Let's try to run.
They decided, we are coming out throwing the football, and
it was a great strategy, also helped by the fact
that the forty nine ers kept single covering Jordan Addison,
which I still can't believe they did after his second touchdown.
It's okay, maybe a little bit of help. Nope, nope,
we're gonna We're gonna let Jordan Addison still get single covered,

(02:30):
and he wound up ruining the forty nine ers with
their game tonight. But this game came down to the end.
The forty nine Ers had the ball, a little bit
of time left to go, potentially get down the field,
score a touchdown, win the game. The legend of brock
Purty could grow. Except the Vikings pick off their last

(02:52):
gas pass from midfield with about thirty seconds left to go. Now,
why am I telling you how this happened? We're gonna
hear it, of course we are. This is Paul, friend
of the show, Paul out Yeah, okny K Fan Vikings
Radio Network. This is the final call of the interception
that ended the game. You know, I'm gonna be honest,

(03:19):
I didn't see that one coming this time, no matter,
no matter how many years and how many times it happens,
I still get surprised by it. Oh, I say, got,
I'm getting the bus.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
There's often times where there's been a back and forth
of antagonism between maybe you and Frostburg, or you and
Ty Shirt, where you can see it's probably gonna rear
its head just to see if it can push you
over here, there was no animis.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Wait till I become like Skynet and learn how to
run that board in there, and watch me delete that
crap right out of the system. Really, wait till I learn.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
How to run that Artie kind of surprised somehow, It
hasn't been because we've gone and tried to go back
to the well on certain cool bits of our ten
years here at Fox.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
There's from last night that's not in here? Are you kidding?
We don't have any We don't have any Jalen Hurts touchdowns.
They've all been knocked out of the system from last night.
I had a good run Jets Eagles, all those highlights
are gone. We don't have anything. We don't but just wait,

(04:17):
ty Shirt, I'll say, hey, guess what, there's some free
seaweed in the kitchen. You're gonna run in the kitchen
and I'm gonna come and delete that right out of
the system of seaweed, seeweed that you eat good seaweed.
Well kind uh from the sea. Yeah, there's kines though.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Like literally, he's gonna go and he's gonna emerge like
the from diver dude from Scooby Doo, and he's gonna
have that hanging off him and he's gonna offer to you.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
What beats you go to, uh the zoom of beach. Okay,
I'm in okay good. And then when I come right
around the delete delete. No, he didn't. He didn't say
zeema delete.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
He said zema zema.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
You say Huntington, I'm out. Oh i'light like a malt
liquor beverage right now. After watching Jordan Addison beat me
in Fantasy, all right, let's hear Paul Allen k fan
final call the interception that ended the game for the
Vikings and gave the loss to the forty nine.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Back to pass him and he needs to sack him.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
He loops it over the middle Kenner stop dead.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Vikings beat the Niners and jam Binam has a two
interception night and now a fight, get fun purls.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
On the field, and we're not over exaggerating that there
were punches thrown.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
These surass niners can go ahead and get out of.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Town, these sour as. I didn't tell you exactly what
he had to say. I just like Paul Alt's call
was good. These sad and bringing everybody in the back
dude a grade. Yeah, that's the kind of play by
play guy I would be, because you know, I like
the under his breath these someone got to sack him.
Someone's got to sack him. Like, can you imagine how

(05:52):
I would call a Jets game? No, oh, I don't
even want to think about that.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
That would be by the end of three and a
half hours, you would be sweating, profuse.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It had to be like performance art where you fell
to the ground on the final call.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
If it was his, if it was on satellite only,
where I could say whatever I wanted to, then I
would feel much freer. But I would worry about my
leguage a little bit.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Would you have random things to bite into you like
you were Frank the tank?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I just I ned even bite on my bite plate
because I'm two nervous, right, now I like tark Like
Jerry Tarkanian biting.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
He's gone through seven sandwiches. He just needs to bite
on something. When it gets tense.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Jets come out. I don't like this formation. This is
gonna be a sack. Watch us watch the sack. Watch
the sack. Watch am I told you he's gonna get sacked.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
I told you.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Oh, now he's doing that thing. He's dancing in front
of our tackle. I mean he might as well have
a number on there for the turnstyle, to show you
how many people have come through. In this morning's russhower.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
He lost seven yards. Oh show Robert Sala going, Oh yeah, yo,
whose fault is that, Robert Sala? It's your fault? Second
down at seventeen. That's the kind of play by play
I would be just like that.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I think we should start doing accompanying play by play.
I mean, people do it.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Sour ass forty nine, let's hear well, let's hear his
call about the sour ass forty nine ers one more time.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Birdie back to pass him and he needs to sack
in the middle.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Dead Yeah, Vikings fit the Niners and jam Vinum has
a two interception night and now a fight on pearls.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
On the field, and we're not over exaggerating that there
were punches thrown. These sour ass niners can go ahead
and get out of town.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
You you can go and get out of town?

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Is that a phrase? Sour ass? I like that? But
is that a phrase? Stinks? Like? Can we say that?
I didn't even I've never heard it? Like, is that
something that they're gonna come back and go?

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Whoa?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You said? Now is after ten o'clock? You're good? Yeah,
but he said, Okay, let me look it up and
make sure there's no like hidden meaning. Well, let me
let's see hang on, hang on, let me look at
cause I'll find it. Define it well, it's I looked
it up. It's slang defined dot org. Okay, hang on,
I got it right here. Uh ooh ooh, don't want
to look at Urban Dictionary on that. Uh ooh, don't

(07:59):
want to look there? Oh, don't want to look there? Nope, Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Hang on, Yeah but wait, nope nope no first page
all definitions. Can't say no, no, no, We can't tell them no,
no two graphic. You know, sometimes I feel like like

(08:20):
the websites that go, Oh, here's what the real meaning
is the slang dictionary, what it really is. I'm like,
you're just making that up, like it's not a rare thing.
I'd want to make up something that's really embarrassing that's
about bodily parts or sex, to make it seem like, oh,
it's really bad, Well it's bad or is it just
you know, decide where you want to draw your line
in terms of your discourse. Now for us, for FCC compliancy,

(08:42):
we can only go so far. You can say sour ass,
but you can't explain what it is, which is a
weird sour ass? Niners.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Come on, it's a great angry kind of thing. You think, George,
you want to get out of here.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I think George Kittle was waiting for Paul Allen outside
booth when he was leaving no way talk to you.
Where's that sour ass played by play guy Paul Allen?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Where is he?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Paul Allen wants to go shake Ward's hands for his
inability to stay anywhere near Medison on now.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
To be fair, it's now, didn't he put out a statement?
Didn't Paul Allen say something either? On social media? Or something.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh yeah, I mean he said he's sorry about the
you know, salty language, but you know so no, no, no,
let me let me let me find the the actual
quote there, because I mean it is pa on the mic.
I want to make sure we give him his u
proper credit for the apology that he did put out.
Let's see it was, uh, sorry for the fall language,

(09:41):
but stop throwing punches at our players.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Still much respect for the Niners, Still much respect for
the sour ass Niners.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Just want to just call hey, he calls him as
he sees him, just like he calls horse races okay,
and he calls those vikings games. Yeah, because remember, why
do you even ponder passing?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Someone needs a second? Somebody's a second?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
How great is that? That is pretty good?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Someone needs to sack him. I really, I mean I
I honestly I would be a trendsetter play by because
I would be like that, like the entire game. I'd be.
I'm not watching television. I'm listening to that guy. I'm
listening to Jason Smith because he is I don't know
what he's gonna say about the Jets on this, I
have no idea. Well, he's a truth teller. I have
no idea because he calls it as he sees it.

(10:25):
There's no filter, there's no corporate uh structure that you're
adhering to in that moment. If you're really going stream
of consciousness, it is really about the brand and the
entity and the the misery in a lot of cases,
for some of the teams you follow of Jason Smith
third and two Jets changing personnel. Why the hell is
Dalvin Cook coming into the game? He staks, he's done.

(10:48):
Why does Breesall need to breather now? Why? Why couldn't
you get him a breather on second down when you
were throwing and Dalvin Cook could block out of the backfield?
Why is this? See? See? This is why I'd be
a great head coach, but no one to work with
me because they would go, I don't know how to
respond to this, guys, I don't know what to say.
What do you want me to say? It's one man booth.
What do you have me to say? Now?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Your guy Breshall caused some problems earlier today because it
was the anniversary of him tearing it, so he put
up on Twitter. Found out I tore my acl and
that's when people stopped reading. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was
like a year ago today. Look at God man fingers crossed,
answered all my prayers and then some with the prayer hands.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
But if you just stopped after the first five, I'm
going to read you the beginning of Bce Breese Hall's
tweet right now.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Let me watch your facial rere. What holy cow? But
yeah that got Let's see at last count, it's been
seen by two point nine million people. It's been hearted
some fourteen point five thousand.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
That's something that you could start with a year ago today.
You start with that, you know, just the way Yeah,
a year ago today. I tore my ACE sentence structure. Man,
that's all a sens So you need a copy editor
there to help you out because it caused a lot
of people unnecessary anks. Can you imagine if something happened
he actually sent it before he finished found out a
year found out I tore my ACL oh crap I

(12:14):
had sent? Hang on, let me just write a new one.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Why did he delete Teddy doors a c L?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
What happened? Where did this happen? Was he carrying deer
meat upstairs? What happened? You know? You default to that
carrying deer meat. I haven't used that in a while. No,
you know, you just use it like the other deer
it's you did. No, you used it, used the deer
meat thing just the other day. We just spent a
lot of time in the studios yelling at I feel

I'm in it an inute, right if I if it
gets out, it gets.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Out's insane, right, So it is. Yeah, I mean the
song was released at the end of September of nineteen
ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I think that was the timing for it. We're
doing a twenty five year anniversary. Here's my book.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm gonna do a bunch of press and we're gonna
get the selation's details. I just really hope you're not disappointing,
because we talked about this the other day that all
the good stuff like a movie trailer has already been released.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, no, but I mean, look, if I'm it, Look, I.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Mean that little acting bit trying to get a job
in the notebook was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, she was pretty good. Yeah, sure, that was pretty
good job. Sure, but look, if if I am in it,
and I again, I don't know if I'm in it.
But if I am in it, I'll address this tomorrow.
But I don't. Would you be under Jason Mason at
that time, Let's just say I had a nickname? No, no, look,

(14:51):
I don't want it because if it's not, if it
doesn't get outs, sourrats, niners, that's what it was. Yeah,
maybe if I am. If I am, it's okay. You
know the kid can and I have big shoulders. It's okay.
I can handle it, certainly, not your nickname. I can
handle I can handle it. Nah, you'll be a wreck.
Sometimes I run. That was that was that song was

(15:12):
about me. I said, listen, I don't like to run.
Can you make it? I never run? Now it doesn't
work well. How about sometimes I run? Okay, that's fine
once in a while. Yeah, A couple of steps, Sure,
it's my new single, slow first step. It's actually not bad.
I just can already think of some lyrics. The JJ's

(15:34):
new song slow first Step is right there. It's on
It's on the back half of the B side of
One More Time First Step. Ye ask your lady step
one one, one, step two two, two, step three three
step fast. Uh Now, I do want to say this

(15:55):
because I want to give you know, I want to
I want to give credit where credit's do it. I
want to give credit to our staff tonight for not
only working extremely hard getting all the sound we've been
playing tonight here that Paul Allen niners dropping around a
lot of things we heard from Dusty Baker, who likely
is retiring, uh in from Major League Baseball a lot

(16:15):
of big nights tonight. But I want to give credit
because tonight I was given four free slices of pizza
from seven to eleven, and I brought him in and
all the slices are gone. That's good. I left him
out for everybody. Yeah, I left him out for everybody,
and they all ate them. And I'm very I mean, look,
it's not every day I come in with with free
slices of pizza food. I mean, like, I like the fact.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That you're really owning up to the fact that it
wasn't like, Hey, I saw this pizza and it smelled
some good boy. No, you literally had a guy way
foristing pizza.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I went Toto seven eleven to buy a couple of
drinks and the guy said, so, would you like your
four free slices of pizza? And I said, what, no,
because I'm questions.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That have never been asked in the history of America.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
First of all, you have four free slices of pizza,
and I'm turning it down. But my thought was that
the guy was gonna saur fried chickens and a loaf
of dry white toast. Uh No. But but I thought
I was gonna say sure, and he would say, oh,
we'll just fill this out or just do this. I
don't want to do that. Get rewards. And the guy said, no, no,
you're four free slices of pizza. I said, no, it's okay, no, no, no,

(17:20):
And he goes and he gets me, puts them into
individual things and hands them to me. And I said,
why am I getting four free slices of pizza? And
he said, because we have a thing with two coke
products or whatever products.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
You gonna say four free.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, you get well, I got a coke product in
the pepsi product. He said, well, if you buy two
products like that, you get four free slices of pizza.
I don't recognize the label on the one. No, it's
one of the new coke flavors, you know, like it's
the stardust flavor or is the flavor of the future
where you go, what are they put in here? But anyway, yes,
the ayahuasca flavor that would have been gone. But he said, no,

(17:55):
we give away. And I said, that doesn't sound that
you guys make out of this deal. I just gotta
buy two coachs and I get four slices of pizza.
Don't you think that pizza costs?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
The box that he put that pizza in costs more
than the slice of pizza.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
So I said, four free slices of pizza, and I'm
glad I was able to give them to the to
everybody working hard tonight. I feel good about that.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I feel like it's I gave back to that you
added value some carbs. I may be in the Brittany
book I gave free pizza out. I lost in fantasy
on the last pass to Jordan Addison, the last bleeping path.
So it's kind of a given get kind of day.
And so I'm saying she might do another residency. What
do you think should we go?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
It depends if I'm in the book. If I'm in
the book.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
If I'm then you have to stand up because you're
gonna have a special guests here tonight. You might remember me
from pages one seventy one through one seventy four and
a later appearance in page three fifty two.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Remember that Britney Spears concert where Jason Smith's on the
spotlight and she put it on him and they showed
him a daydn't know who he was, and Phil and
Phil's it all all ties together. We have from the
World Series coming up in a couple minutes, we'll get
to the Houston Astros and the potential end of the dynasty.
But big night on Monday Night Football, we watched the Vikings.

(19:08):
We talked about their strategy earlier tonight to be aggressive
on the Niners defense, and it worked. And I'm sure
you're gonna see people try to do this the rest
of the season. Let's not try to see what we
can win and win a low scoring game. No, we
have the offensive, we got the guys let's be aggressive,
and they did it even without Justin Jefferson, which is
a huge deal. We still think we can move the
ball on these guys and they wind up pulling out
the game. Be sure to catch live editions of The

(19:31):
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific. But now I'll tell you the big
hot take that's gonna come up for Brock Party over
the course of the next twenty four to thirty six
hours on the radio tomorrow, on the TV tomorrow. But
before we tell you the hot take, let's listen a
couple of minutes of Brock Purty, forty nine Ers quarterback
who now has lost two games in a row for

(19:53):
the first time after starting his Niners career one hundred
and ten and zero before losing these last two week
Here was a little bit of Rock Party, just ba ball.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
JJ did a good job on his route and Delon
got a good push on us, and I sort of
just was trying to anticipate the throw. At the end
of the day, it was a bat ball, and obviously
I threw it too far ahead of him.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
So yeah, when you when you want to getting pressured.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Like that, Are you going to the spot you're expecting
the quarterback and the receiver to.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
Be getting that spot.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, there's times where you get a push, but there's
a timing of the play. There's a timing of you know,
the routes and where guys are supposed to be and whatnot.
That play, JJ was he did his job. He ran
the right route, the right timing and everything. I just
got pushed and sort of lost side of him and
and just anticipated it too much far ahead of him.
So yeah, that's just how it was.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
He did. He did a good job.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
Side exception problems or not.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, you know, thirty four seconds left sort of you know,
trying to strain and make a play. That was like
the shot within the play to hit Rayway come across
the middle and then that that middle safety Tampa player.
You did a good job, you know, just I was
trying to throw it over him, trying to force it.
You got to learn from it. And I think I

(21:13):
could have ran and uh, you know, got down whatever,
but I just forced it.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
So you guys have a lot of first half a point.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
That kind of where you're thinking you don't come down
the block in terms of more offense.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, we felt good just in terms of, you know,
moving the ball. You know, their defense did a good
job with just different looks and switching things up and
trying to make us high, trying to drop eight, and
so we were still moving the ball, and then we
just got in the red zone and stuff and you know,
sort of sort of folded at times. And so going
to the second half, we felt good just in terms of,
you know, hey, we get down, just got to execute

(21:50):
and be better. We got to play our way of ball.
So we felt good going to the second half. But yeah,
that's just sort of how it went.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
All right. So there's some of Brock pretty talking about
the two interceptions through explaining them and you, I guarantee
you tomorrow hot take theory you're gonna get on the
radio and on the television shows. Hey, Brock Purty is
overrated and the league has figured him out. You're gonna
I guarantee you're gonna get that because he's had two
bad games in a row. Right, he was Tom Brady
up until two weeks ago. He's doing things to yes, yes, exactly,

(22:20):
just like Mac Jones was the next Tom Brady. Now
he's lucky if he even has the job by the
end of the year. Did you see that fourth quarter
he had against the Bills and mac Jones wasn't bad? Right? Okay,
he had. He had a not bad fourth quarter, the
first time.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
He's had in a year.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
And what did they do? Baby? So it's all been
how great brock Purty is. And now watch everybody's gonna
turn on him because it's two bad games in a row.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
And it is.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
The way it goes for brock Purty and the way
it goes on the radio when you go all the
way to a guy who you think is great and
then suddenly I go, oh, now he's terrible. Look I
like a hot take as much as anybody else. But
we've been telling you the truth about brock Purty all along.
Brock Purty is a good quarterback who was very underdrafted.
It happens he's a draft find. And is he someone

(23:10):
that can win and can win the Super Bowl on
this Niners team? Yeah, Niners are really good, but the
Niners aren't unbeatable. And as we saw tonight, they went
into a team that was missing their best player and
they still they got worked and this vaunted Niners defense
did not look good at all, and they had bad
adjustments and they got beat doesn't mean they can't win
the Super Bowl, but it just means that, well, maybe

(23:31):
they're not as unbeatable as we think. But that's really
who Brock Purty is. Brock Purty is a good quarterback
and he's a really good game manager. You're not gonna
ask him to win the game all the time. You're
not gonna ask him to throw four touchdowns. You're not
gonna say, hey, be clutch at the end of every
game two minute drills. You're someone who run the offense,
get the team down the field, and do enough to

(23:52):
put points on the board where we can hold on
to it with our defense. Right, that's Brock Purty. That's
what game managers do, and Brock Purty is really good
at it. So if you want to say he's an
elite game manager, sure I'll one hundred percent give you that.
With Brock Purdy, he is an elite game manager. But
that's who he is. Right. He's not gonna win a
passing title. He's not gonna throw for forty touchdowns. He's

(24:13):
not gonna be someone that throws for forty five forty
eight five thousand yards. No, he's someone that's gonna have
nice games, high completion percentage, will put enough points on
the board for the most part to win games. Now,
there's gonna be weeks he's gonna have like this, it's
gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
We'll he have more.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Weeks that are better than bad weeks. Yeah, because he
plays on a really good team. If you put brock
Purty on a team that was just okay, if you
put Brock Purty on a team like the Patriots, or
if you put Brock Purdy on the Rams or or
the Bears or any of these teams that are just
I mean, yeah, brock Purty's not gonna do anything because
he's the right guy fitting at the right time with
this Niners team, and that's who he's always been. But

(24:51):
he's been overvalued. He's not Tom Brady. He's also not
the worst quarterback in the league. Everybody's figured out. The
Niners are still gonna win eleven, twelve, thirteen games this year.
They'll still be in the mix for being being the
team that has home field advantage all the way through.
All of that's gonna be on the board there for them.
But the truth about brock Purty is not what you're
gonna hear tomorrcus. I guarantee you're gonna get those two phrases.

(25:14):
Brock Purty is overrated, the league is figuring him out.
Neither of those things are true. He's just not what
everybody said he was going in. He's not walking on water,
he's not looking this he's the great club. No, brock
Purty is an elite game manager, but he's gonna have
games like this.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
The analysism Purty through the first weeks of the season,
it kind of gets into what Micah Parsons was saying
about the Cowboys last week, right where you're a winning
team and what happens You've got to be either really
good or really bad to get any kind of attention. Right,
grossly underperforming or you're at the elite level and what
do we do? We tried to pick away where we can,

(25:50):
and for brock Purty, a lot of it has been
the well, you're just a game manager. Mike McDaniel dealing
with that last week we saw at the podium related
to to a tongue of hell, and it's much the
same when it comes to Shanahan. Shanahan I saw the
stat come up a little bit earlier. It's now I
think he's oh in thirty eight entering the Uh yeah,

(26:12):
own thirty eight under own thirty six, sorry under Kyle Shanahan.
When trailing by eight or more points in the fourth
quarter in the regular season or playoffs. So not a
team equipped to come back. And you saw right out
the jump it was looking like it was going to
go to script. Right, Cousins throws the interception, they drive
down into the red zone, McCaffrey fumbles, and instead of
all right, we've now got them pinned, let's take care

(26:35):
of business, Cousins and company immediately drive the ball down
the length of the field for a touchdown. All of
a sudden, it's like, whoa, we got punched in the face.
Your guy Jordan Addison doing tremendous things. And then you
have the play with Ward where he can't get his
arms on the ball and Addison snatches it out sixty

(26:55):
yard touchdown reception. Decent play to be there. Defensively, didn't
finish the play quite obviously. There's seven points on the
offensive side for Purdy. Yeah, on the final interception inside
the final minute. You know, we said it live and
in real time, he should have tucked the ball and run,
would have gotten the first down and would have been

(27:16):
able to go up and kill the clock and reset
on the twenty yard line, but instead tries to force
it in and do a pinpoint pass that ends up
getting picked off. The other one, you kind of stumbled
in his route and you had the first interception. So

(27:37):
two bad throws, one which was a really bad throw,
and so the boom berge rout right because it's the
first cracks because it had been perfect, it had been
rolling back to back weeks. Now you've got only seventeen
points scored in this one. You didn't have the excuse
of well McCaffrey wasn't there because remember last week that
was a lot of the talking points. Look at all
the injuries, Well Deebo Samuel not sure when he's coming back.

(28:00):
Older injury is gonna keep him out a while. And
Trent Williams wasn't there. And give credit on the other
side again talking about the way the Vikings attack things.
Darrisad did a fantastic job of keeping Kirk Cousins upright
and keeping uh Nick Bosa at bay. So you know,
it was a perfect storm out on Monday night because

(28:21):
it's the solo game. Everybody's gonna have their poison pens out.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Twitter at, how about a Fresca swollen Dome or x
x at how about a Fresca ex at swollen Dome
the Jason Spencer with Mike Carmon live from the tirak
dot com studio. So that's the truth about Brockprint. Trust me,
you were here. Those phrases tomorrow are gonna go. Oh
they said it on the road. Where would you have
ranked him before?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Like, and this is where it's like we've got We've
talked about him a lot, but he still would have
been in the twelve to fifteen wins.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's where he is right the pack.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
But like the way we talk about the Niners is
because the Niners are an entity. The Niners have been winning.
You've been scoring thirty points a game. Your defense is
been getting after opponents. Likewise, Cowboys talk a lot about
the Cowboys. Well, because there's a lot of noise Jerry
and and Dak Dak was at the Rangers game the
other day. Uh, and then they banned him.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
And then you know all that took over and then
you're looking at the the idea for Micah Parsons and
everybody else. You start getting it equated to the greats
of the game. Yeah, we're gonna talk about you a lot,
and then if you fall short, what happens. It's the
greatest joy we have in sports talk radio and TV.
