huge crowd and in a small fashion, I kind of know what that's like
when all of a sudden you openthe can of worms. And I didn't
want to to get like bombarded witheverything anything at that point, so I

(09:24):
didn't say anything. I'm just everytime I watched all of them now,
I mean Best in Show is atop five comedy of all times. It's
spectacular, so good, but asfunny as that he is Princess Bride is
a better movie than Best in Show. Yeah, I would say as much.
Show is a comedy. It's hysterical, the lines, everything so quotable.

(09:46):
But yeah, no, Princess Bride'sa fantastic Even Waiting for Guffman is
brilliant. I never saw. YeahI miss that one. What else?
Because did he do spinal tap two? Yeah? I mean he's just and
I love that one. He's he'sa geniu. Yeah, he's super funny
and he's the six figured man andhe's preparing to die. Yeah. Okay,

(10:07):
that was it. That was mystory. Very nice story of Mark
Goodness. That's better than can WeMove? Yeah? Let me just hit
the button? This right? Whata story? Mire we go? Anyway,
that was the news. Most ofit was about the Bond Bridge,
Yeah, which is fine, which, by the way, I mean I

(10:28):
sort of got people just love tolike wait for a moment that they can
like correct you and tweet at youabout it. Yeah, what's that?
Like? There's two big bridges betweenSuperior to Loot. There's the whatever the
Blatinnik bridges, and then there's thebon Bridge. And I said, the
Bong Bridge is a big bridge thatconnects to which it does and it is.

(10:48):
So there's the Platini. Yes,they're both big bridge, but apparently
it's a small bridge. The BondBridge is the smaller of the two,
and I don't call it a smallbridge small, it's a small bridge.
The bull it's a pretty big yourridge. That's a that's a big bridge.
That's not a small bridge, agood sized bridge. It's it's above

(11:09):
the average bridge. Let him getdon't you care if you had a bridge
named after you, would you careabout the size of the bridge? No?
How do we make that happen?Is there any bridge in the Greater
Twin Cities area that needs to berenamed or named for the first time that
we could get named after sauce?That'd be sweet, That would be sweet.
Is it about me? Yeah,it would be called a sauce bridge.

(11:31):
The means sauce bridge. The PaulLambert Bridge will be the show.
But would you like it to becalled if somebody is willing to change the
name of a bridget Brost Bridge,the meat sauce Bridge bridge, the Saucebridge.
Saucebridge sounds better Saucebridge, Saustbridge.I don't know where I came up

(11:52):
with that. It's very good.What about the PJ. Lambert Bridge,
No, I'm not doing that's aterrible nameage. Yes, you are correct,
that guy PJ. Hey Lambert doesthe sports. After this, this
is the Power Tram Morning Show onthe Fan. Fans, your time for

(12:13):
Fan five on the Power tript presentedby All Around Property Preservation. All right,
thanks to our friends at All AroundSauce. The Minnesota Timberwolves play their
first playoff game this Saturday, whenthey battle the Suns at Target Center at
two thirty. Right here on thefan too thirty. Wolves one and a
half point favorites. Undraftkings correct.Game two is Tuesday at six thirty.

(12:37):
Game three will be nine thirty nextFriday, and then Game four is next
Sunday at eight thirty, so weavoid Round one of the NFL Draft next
Thursday, next Thursday. Pair.Thanks, Thanks, yeah, Sauce.
I'm not asking you to bet,because I don't even know which way I
would go. But the Suns havedefeated the Wolves all three times this year
by double digits or more ten pointeighteen points in nineteen points. The Wolves

(13:01):
are one and a half point favorites, even though they are underdogs in the
series. Which way would you goif you had to on Saturday, the
Wolves minus one and a half orthe Suns plus one and a half.
Man, I think I would takethe Wolves. The play going to do
it. I think they'll win Gameone. The place is gonna be pumped.
It's in the afternoon, which meansyou can get to the lun about

(13:22):
ten am. The other issue Isaw people post is the Twins play a
game also at like one o'clock onSaturday, so downtown will be jumping.
I mean, there'll be nine peopleat the Twins game. But yeah,
I would take the Wolves minus oneand a half. Oh yeah, you
could do a double header down there. Twelve oh five. First pitch,

(13:43):
all Twins will be down like sevento one. In the six you can
hop over to the target center andmiss the uh horrible bullpen and see the
good Timberwolves. See the good Timberwolves. Yeah, I would weird sentence.
Yeah it's okay, I say badsentences all the time, I'm not is
the coolest sentence I've ever heard somebodytalk. All right, so did go

(14:09):
to the game. It'll be great. Go Wolves. Our guy Robbie Rosenhaus
he died, said he saw ChrisPrett at UFC three hundred, like walking
the concourse? Did he really it'sabout Chris Prett. Yeah, our guy,
Robbie Rosenhouse also went to the slapfest. He did, yep,
and that's not a euphemism. Hewent to the actual sanctioned event. Wait
what Yeah. The slow slap Back'sa power slap bit where there's two people

(14:31):
that stand by a podium. Itlooks like arm wrestling, but them they
just hit each other in the face, take turns until one gets knocked out.
It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Y Yeah, but it's terrible,
and there's a Robbie loves it.Yeah, Robbie loves it. And
it is like watching two morons goahead right. Maxill loves UFC and he

(14:54):
thinks it's disgusting. Yeahah uh.The Lakers beat the Pelicans one, ten
six in the first play in game. The Lakers are now the seventh seed.
They will battle Denver, which thatseries will most likely and in a
sweep. Game one is Saturday atseven thirty. Then the Kings last night
boat race the Warriors one eighteen ninetyfour. The Warriors season is over.

(15:15):
The Kings will battle the Pelicans forthe eighth spot on Friday at eight thirty.
The winner gets one seed ok C. Two more playing games start tonight
at six with the Heat and theSixers. The Sixers are minus five and
a half. The winner plays theKnicks on Saturday at eight thirty to night.
Though you get the Hawks and theBulls. Chicago is a three and

(15:37):
a half point favorite. So again, Mark, you follow that, did
you understand how the Plane tournament works? I'm not gonna lie. Yeah,
shut right there talking about plays.There's talk about d NHL adopting something similar,
especially now that that's thirty two teamsand only a six teen of those

(16:00):
makets. I had to be aboutthis Mark the other day. I think
Tennebe has been saying this for years. I don't want to put words in
his mouth, but I think hehas and I think he's totally right.
The NHL was smart enough to bethe first team in Vegas, right,
first league into Vegas. They shouldbe the first league that does the choose
your opponent bit. The NHL shouldadopt that immediately, where the number one

(16:21):
seed gets to pick their opponent outof the other seven choices. I would
love that. That'd be awesome.That would I mean talk about building rivalries,
I mean that that's spectacular. Agreedthat, Yeah, because and I've
heard that too as well as Zach, that that the NHL might be adopting
something similar like that. But Iwas one of those that I was liken't

(16:44):
worry about that when they do it. Okay, So this format is confusing
to us non hockey people. It'slike, what, Now you can be
in the top of the division,but then the people that aren't in the
top three in the division go tothe wild what happens now? I didn't
even quite understand that until maybe lastyear. I kind of got a grasp
of it, and I still don'tcompletely understand it. Point is is it
would be way better. Top eightteams in each division or a conference make

(17:07):
it and we just start with numberone and may pick who they want to
play. Yeah, and you senda player. You don't send a GM
or the owner. You send acaptain, send the team up to the
podium and say we want the VegasGolden Knights, we want the Los Angeles
Dear God, yes, please,it'd be awesome, Yes, please?

(17:29):
Why did you pick them? What? You know, Yeah, it's like
you said, no, it's Ithink how we geek out about the NFL
draft, right we talk about theplayers are going to pick. If you
if the NHL was smart enough togive it about five or six days between
the end of the regular season andthe playoff draft and then waited in about
you know, another four or fivesix days to start the playoffs. Maybe

(17:51):
that's too long of a break,but still something like that where you'd have
at least a handful of days tohave talk radio go who should the Stars
pick? Who the Rangers? Perrese, I really picked so and so?
Who should the second seed pick?I think that'd be super cool.
And I wouldn't be surprised to seethe NHL change the playoff format because since
they changed it to the way itis now with the wild cards and the

(18:11):
divisions, like literally the West,we could see three or four teams that
think they could win and believe thatthey can win a Stanley Cup out in
the first round, and the Eastis going to be the same thing.
Toronto keeps running in the beasts outthere like these once once enough for those
big organizations go through these rounds We'relike, wait a minute here, Like

(18:33):
we had a stacked team, wehad a legit chance to win a Stanley
Cup, and another team we hadto play another team like that. I
mean, it's it's one thing aboutparody, but it just seems to be
lining up year after year with thiswhere some you know, phenomenal team,
like nobody wants to finish second orthird in the Central, nobody wants to
finish second, third of the Metro, you know, the Atlantic even I

(18:55):
mean, there's so many divisions becausethat matchup is just an and there.
It's great because they're unbelievable matchups inthe first round, but they can make
kind of the later rounds the littlesluggish. So typically those teams will will
get caught up. Well, itwill catch up to them. But you
know, I wouldn't be surprised tosee them make a shift in the near
future. If I mean, Torontokeeps get run into these first round ers,

(19:18):
they start griping, you know,the right organizations start griping, and
trust me, they'll change. Hey, just if you are a diehard NHL
fan, this is on ESPN dotcom. M you go through this quickly,
paerish and then you can comment.Okay, Tuesday's games resulted in many
playoff seeds being clinched. The WashingtonCapitals now the second Eastern wild card spot
with their win over the Flyers thanksto their win, and the Boston Bruins

(19:42):
lost to Florida Panthers are Atlantic Divisionchamps, which sets up the matchup between
the Panthers and Lightning in round oneand the Bruins and Maple Leafs in round
one. The Canucks locked up thenumber one seed in the Pacific Division and
are now confirmed to take on thePredators in round one. That one could
be according to this It says,in fact, the entire East bracket is

(20:02):
now locked in. So what remainsto be determined out West? Well,
it's just the shuffle between the VegasGolden Knights and the Kings for the Pacific
Division's number three seed and the secondWest wild cards. He does what I'm
talking about? You understand what I'msaying. Yes, the casual hockey fans
no, what exactly what's happening here? Whoever gets the number three spot will
take on the Edmonton Oilers in roundone. Whoever gets the wild card will

(20:23):
square off against the Dallas Stars.And you talk about the Pacific not being
subtled. I mean literally with Laor Vegas. I mean, Vancouver is
probably happy they got LA. Lais probably happy they got fourth because now
they don't have to run into Edmontonagain in the first year because it was
set up again for the Kings.We're expecting the Kings and Edmonton again in

(20:48):
the first round and that's one ofthe Yeah, that's great, it builds
robberies. But again, these organizationsare keep getting sick or running into Connor
McDavid in the first round when youhad a great year, you know.
But yeah, it is what itis. We'll see how it moves forward.
It's it'll change, it'll rotate,it still will. There's great parody
in the NHL. At least that'sthe NHL. And Gary Bedman needs to

(21:10):
watch the program Password Draft tomorrow atone and see how dynamic it can be
when you're picking your partners or pickingyour opponents. This is how the NHL
should do it. Yeah, SauceTwins News. Oh yeah, hang on,
I wasn't listening there for a whilebecause it wasn't about you. You're
not getting a bridge named after you. Focus? What about the Focus bridge?

(21:30):
What does that have to do withyou. The Twins are officially a
bad team. They were blown outeleven to three by the hand of the
Orioles, which I don't think Orioleshave hands. They've been out Have they
have hoops? They've been out whowait, they've been out scored eighteen.
I know they don't have hoops.It's what do they have? Pincerss They've

(21:56):
been outscored as Yeah, pincers.They've been out scored eighteen to seven in
the first two games of this series. The Twins have lost three straight.
Rosie same two teams. Today,at twelve oh five, Pablo Lopez goes
for your Twins. That Twins newsbrought to you by Quantum. By now,
even Rocos started losing it. Afterthe game, he called his team

(22:17):
out for their lack of effort,preparation, you name it. This was
all set up during you know,pretty much the offseason, though of course,
you could not predict the injuries.Royce Lewis's injury and devastating early on
because he's the focus of this baseballteam. But that's not an excuse for

(22:37):
the rest of the team. Andthe pitching staff is just not equipped enough
to day in, day out,compete with most of the teams and the
majors in the American League in particular. I mean, it's just they just
don't have the person. Hell andthey knew that it's not good. I
mean, they didn't replace Sonny Graythat you know, you need to go
down the list. And of coursethe hitters aren't doing their job right now,

(22:57):
and so it's a it's a contagioussituation and it's not like the Cake
lift themselves out and under it.But it might be July before they do
that. The way he's not goingright now. No, it's not good,
not good at all. A right, Vikings News when we come back.
Mark Rosen is here, Mark Parrishis here. This is the Power
Trip Morning Show on the Fan fromhis favorite dey of the year for Vikings

(23:21):
News on the Power Trip presented byJoe. Let's start with what I care
the most about, because Chad Abbadoesn't think I care about the show between
Monday and Thursday, and he's notwrong. On Friday, Brian O'Neil of
the Minnesota Vikings makes his Initials debut. Hell yeah, I'm looking forward to
it. That'll be great. Sixseven, three eleven and are the Liones
aren't They're always smart too, sothat makes me a little bit always smart.

(23:45):
Well, I don't know. Theyhave a sharp guy. They have
the reputations of being the thinkers onthe squad. He's also got a really
good such of humor, so youcould you'll get him going. We'll see,
they say, don't know if heknows the game, don't know if
he's hurt before, don't know ifhe's ever kind of played along in his
car, had no idea. We'llsee. That's a Friday. Don't piss

(24:06):
him off. Don't piss him off. He seems like a nice guy.
He does. He does sauce anythingyou want to talk about. Since you're
eight days away from your super Bowl, Well, I just I think we're
in a weird holding pattern. Today'sthe last day that they could have like
in house visits. That's why Ilike the Commanders last night had like every
quarterback prospect except for bow Nick's showup, and they did like twenty minute

(24:29):
interviews with all of them. Ijust think we're in a holding pattern.
I would I mean, I don'treally know. I just when you watch
the draft and the way that itall unfolds is we know Caleb Williams is
going to be the number one pick, but we don't really know who's going
to be the two pick. Nowthe betting favorite is Jaden Daniels. But
you know, we thought, I'mgonna keep leaning on this. We thought

(24:51):
will Levis would be the second orthird overall pick last year and he fell
to the second round. You justnever know. That's the beauty. Well,
that's the beauty of it, becauseafter all these mock drafts, after
all these hours and hours and hoursof pre draft shows, the bottom line
is, no one has any ideawhat's going to happen next Thursday night.
I don't think anyone has any betteridea what the Vikings are going to do

(25:15):
today than they did six weeks ago, and or next Wednesday or next Thursday
morning. Uh you just because youdon't know the order of the players.
Option A, option B. I'veheard quasi talk, I've heard Kevin O'Connell
talk, And of course, whatare they going to say. They don't
really know. They have every possiblescenario that's laid out there. They have

(25:38):
the value attached to the quarterback thatthey're potentially looking for other players. That
they're looking for. But it's everytime we do a mock draft, and
we'll do ours next Thursday. Goodluck hitting the darts hitting three or four
from correctly. Yeah. And Ithink the other thing though that when we
look at it is they have theirplan. Their plan is and and they've

(26:04):
been showing this this hand since theytraded for that second first round pick.
Their plan is to go up inthe first round. But the way they
lay it out in the media isthey're not just set on one quarterback.
Why because they have to have leverage. They can't. They can't let the
Patriots know, we have to getDrake May or it's over. They they

(26:25):
they have basically said we like allof them, and they have to say
that they are going up in myestimation for one guy, and that is
Drake May. Drake May is theirguy and they're gonna see if they can
get him. What happened to jmccarthyle. But I think they're there.
One A is Drake May and oneB is JJ McCarthy, and I think

(26:52):
after that it's a crap shoot.It'll like Peter Schreger laid out yesterday and
as mock draft, if it goesthat way, I think the fans will
be pissed. But I think,as a lot of people have said,
this team isn't a quarterback away.Now, yes, this team is in
a situation that is better than anyof the other teams that are putting a
quarterback in it. Maybe other thanthe Bears because they have the same record,

(27:15):
But like, this is a betterteam than the Patriots, This is
a better team than the Washington Commanders. But this team isn't a young CJ.
Stroud like quarterback away from going tothe playoffs. Right. They have
a lot of pieces to fill.But because of the way the Kirk Cousins
thing worked out, because they haven'tdrafted a first round quarterback in other drafts

(27:36):
when they should have. They didn'ttake Will Levis last year, and so
on and so forth, they arein a situation where they have to find
a first round quarterback. You can'tleave next Thursday with a corner and a
defensive tackle and say, all right, in the fourth round, we're gonna
take Spencer Rattler and we're gonna rollwith Sam Darnold. Now six months from
now that we might go. Man, that was the right answer, But

(27:59):
today and with the draft they haveto find their way away first round high
end quarterback. And even if whenthey pick player a player be no matter
of who it is, I mean, it's going to be you throw with
the fans. I mean fans wantthat person to play like opening day,
the opening game, whatever, whoeverthey open up with. Well, that's
not reality for the most part,because for every time that CJ. Stroud

(28:23):
emerges, there's eighteen other quarterbacks.And let's let's face of those five six
guys, two of them, threeof them we've talked about it, Corey's
talked about it. Three of themwill fail, sure, but in twenty
twenty, but you have to takethe quarterbacks all all play they all start,
Yeah, you're all great, youhave to take a shot at it
because you have to. You neverhave, you have to. You won't

(28:44):
be in this position again probably fora while with it. So well,
yeah, and and just talk aboutyou know, you're saying saus how they
go in with a plan. Everyorganization across the board and every sport goes
in with a plan. But thelast thing they say walking out of their
office are going into the office,whatever one it is, is let's see
what happens. Because you just youdon't know. Unless you have the number

(29:06):
one pick, you're the only teamthat knows how this draft's going to start,
and you don't know what's going tohappen after that. And especially of
course there's no trades, Like whywould anybody trade those high draft picks?
Now? Why not wait and seewho gets drafted the first couple guys,
and a team like the Vikings mightjust panic and give them a little bit

(29:26):
better deal because they need that pick. Hey, saw, So you know
you mentioned earlier that Peter Schreeger gotone pick right last year outside of Bryce
Young's. We got two in theentire first round. If you did your
final meat mock, Yeah, howmany do you think you can get out
of thirty two? Three? Youreally? Yeah? I just think you
never know, just had including yeah, including trades. I just think the

(29:51):
Vikings are such an X factor.There's a team we aren't talking about that
could move up. But if yousay, Caleb Williams Jayden Daniels is the
heavy face right now, I'm draftingright. You don't think you can get
two more right? The rest ofthe first round, Well, I think
the Tennessee Titans will take Joe AltI think that's almost a lock. The
left tackle from Notre Dame, sothat is probably three. I guess here's

(30:15):
why I'm asking. I don't thinkwe have gambled enough on the NFL draft.
Yeah, if you give me anumber that entices me, I'm willing
to bet against your mock. Butit's got to be a number we both
agree on. I mean, Icould get free freeze the number, that's
sure, But when you look atthem, I mean, as I said,

(30:37):
let's actually get that. Fine.I don't think I could get more
than that. But if you saidyou could get seven, I would take
that bet. No, I don'tthink I could get seven, But about
six, No, I just youdon't know what's going to happen with the
third pick, right, You don'tknow what the Patriots are going to do.
You just don't Are the Cardinals takingMarvin Harrison Jr? Well? What
if Marvin Harritt? What if?What if all the subterfuge is the Giants

(31:00):
move up to three, they takeMarvin Harrison to get ahead of the Arizona
Cardinals. I don't. I thinkthe one bit I heard last night was
I don't remember the last time theGiants had a thousand yard receiver. Right,
They're another team that like, yes, they could take a quarterback,
they could take a quarterback before.They need so many things that might be

(31:22):
that might have been it, butwhen was that? You know? Right,
So, like there's so much subterfuge. That's what makes this so fun.
I mean, if if you reallywanted to bet it, I think
maybe five is the number. ButI would be scared of that because you
don't know what's happening to pick three. You just don't. That is if
you read the tea leaves, becausethat's all we can do. Right,

(31:45):
It's subterfuge season. It's smoke screenseason. A week a week long.
A week ago, Adam Shefter wasbasically saying there's no way that the the
Patriots are going to trade that thirdpick. This week. He's basically saying
that it's most likely for sale,right, because he's pretty connected. He's

(32:06):
heard something and the Vikings keep gettingYeah. But but eventually it has to
happen. It's all going to comeout, right, you can't hide all
this information forever. The Vikings didnot get that second first round pick to
not move up in this draft.They're going to overpay for the pick because
they have the best package available.That's it. I mean, you just

(32:29):
got some next year's first round.Yes, what's the thing? Bonus is
some? What's that bit about?Sometimes the easiest answer is the right answer.
That's what. That's what. Sometimesthe NFL draft is it's Auchman's razor,
Right, what did you say?Whoever it is just keep saying the
word subter. Sometimes the easiest answeris the right answer. The Minnesota Vikings

(32:54):
cannot wait at pick eleven for thequarterback. If it's Bonux or Michael Pennock's
at the eleventh pick. The fansare going to be pissed. Who cares
what the fans think? Well,do you have to care what the fans
think. They're the ones who paythe tenil to go to the game.
I know what I'm saying is thefans are gonna be pissed. They're not
the expert, but sure Racy andand the rest of the group over there,

(33:15):
I'm was saying, who cares whatthe fans think? That's why they're
having a draft party. I understandthat. But in terms of remember when
Johnny Manziel was available, Yeah,how crazy were the fans that night?
Yeah, Hockey got him going hasnever been asked back. I'm with saus
because Sauce is in saying that ifyou go, let's say, let's say
that Peter Scheger mock ends up beingone hundred percent correct, and they take

(33:36):
a corner at eleven and Bonix attwenty three. That might be a perennial
all pro corner and Bonix might bea Hall of Famer, and we're going,
God dang it, Qrazy's a genius. He's talking about next Thursday.
Question is a disaster. It's adisaster. It would be ripped on social
media. Friday morning is going tobe what are we doing? Crazy?

(33:59):
Should be fire? I don't.The initial response would be this blows f
minus, this sucks. If ifhalfway through next year that kid is an
unbelievable corner and bon Nix is slingingseventy percent and throwing fifteen touchdowns in two
interceptions, we'd say, God dangit, let's extend Crazy for the next
five years. So we're just talkingabout initial reaction. It's gonna be overwhelmingly

(34:21):
negative. And that's why they havethe party, because you want the fans
reaction, whether it's good or bad. I understand that. But when I
say who cares what the fancy,I'm just saying from a context of the
way the Vikings are approaching this.They have spent how many hours on this
hundred amazing more than I think onbehalf of most of the people in the

(34:42):
fans. I can't wait for nextThursday to finally get here so we can
stop talking about that. Are youtalking about we still have five more minutes
to kill? No, and Iget that. I'm in that boat too.
There's nothing else to say but theother bit though, with this draft,
to gamble on it, that wouldbe fun, but fun Corey I
was, I was digging that.I was like, I might want to
get in on that against the ideaI like, but I but I think,

(35:04):
Oh, by the way, BenLeeber and I tomorrow after the Power
Trip are going to do a mockdraft podcast, so you can bet on
that. And where is that goingto be available? Uh? Nobody carefan
dot com. I have no ideain the ether, I have no idea
where it goes. We don't care. Yeah, that's fine, I know
you don't care, but I care. Well. I'm if Peter Schrager misses

(35:25):
by so much. Why would Icare what you two have to say.
Yeah, probably don't even care.They're well connected. They are well connected.
I do care what you two haveto say. I just want to
bet against you. I just yeah, I don't know how about this.
I'll tell you Friday. A verychum man. It's one of the al
timers. Somebody once told us,I'll tell you who they draft in the

(35:47):
first round on Friday. Basically itwas I know who they're picking. Well,
who tell you Friday morning? Yeah, well, no, we'll all
know it, will all know.Yeah, that's how news works, and
I get it. I'm with you. The reason this has talked about so
much in this market and almost everymarket is because of the intrigue the Vikings

(36:07):
have. Right, if we justhave the twenty third pick, you'd go
all right, we'll just wait around. It's like any year. This is
a huge year for everybody connected therebecause the most GM rath that we have
had GM track record to get theseright, they have to find themselves at
quarterback that they've loaded themselves up withthe AMMO to get one. And we'll
just see how it all plays out. The cautionary tale is you're probably gonna

(36:30):
have to wait. Unless there's aCJ. Strow that emerges, you're probably
gonna have to wait a year ortwo to get the answer that. No
matter who they pick on, ifit's JJ McCarthy, if it's Drake Mayetter,
who it is, it's gonna bea year or two before you really
get the answer to they get theright guy. Yes, the system involved.
Oh there's a guy named Justin Jefferson. They have to get signed and

(36:50):
keep him happy as well, whichI don't I think will happen. But
you know, there's there's so manyelements involved in football. All you have
to do is look at the fortynine Ers situation and how they emerged after
going through how many quarterbacks in SanFrancisco, Yeah, Garoppolo situation and everything
else that happened then and last timeI looked to think they were in the
super Bowl last year. All right, So check this out. Though,

(37:14):
I think we all know that theVikings have never drafted a quarterback in the
top ten their entire history, right, not even targeted In nineteen ninety nine,
Dante Culpeper was pick eleven. Let'sgo quickly through the last twenty four
drafts. Please for the last twentythree years for the Vikings. Yeah,
oh okay. In two thousand theydrafted no quarterbacks. Pick did they have?

(37:37):
They drafted Chris ovent And at thetwenty seven so I'm talking the entire
draft. No quarterbacks drafted in twothousand. They drafted no quarterbacks in two
thousand and one. They drafted noquarterbacks in two thousand and two, No
quarterbacks in two thousand and three atCulpeper, no quarterbacks in two thousand and
four, no quarterbacks in two thousandand five. In two thousand and six,

(38:00):
Rip, they took Tavaris Jackson inround two. All right, oh
yeah, I mean bars, solidbackup quarterback. Tavaris had some moments.
He was always better when the pressurewasn't on him. When he was when
he was named the starter. Hestruggled when he went in there, like
late in the game, he kindof just slung in. It was kind
of fun. Anyway, Rip didTavaris Jackson. In two thousand and seven,

(38:23):
in the seventh round, they draftedquarterback Tyler Thigpen. Remember him?
Nope? In the preseason, isn'the the guy that kicked in the door?
Was that that guy? Where's theguy that went on to like had
a decent career. That was what'shis name, Tyler Taylor Heineke Okay,
yeah, yeah yeah. Two thousandand eight, in round five out of

(38:45):
USC they drafted quarterback John David Booty. Whoops, no quarterback. In two
thousand and nine they drafted Breath.No, they did draft a quarterback in
twenty ten. Do you remember hearthe quarterback who they had on the FARV
team in twenty ten? Oh?What pick? Sixth rounder? What school?

(39:10):
UAB? Oh? Yeah, Joewell, Joe Webb. Then in
twenty eleven they drafted a quarterback,what school Florida State? Guy? I
remember this one. I remember thisone at is Christian Ponder. He was
the twelfth overall pick. Well hewas. The whole draft was awful.

(39:30):
No quarterback in twenty twelve, quarterno quarterback in twenty and thirteen. In
twenty fourteen, Teddy Bridgewater in roundone, Yeah Teddy, great dude.
No quarterback in two thousand and fifteen. This really goes against charges theory that
you should at least take a lateround flyer. Almost every year, almost
every year, the VI kids arejust saying no to the entire draft.

(39:51):
When it comes to quarterback, well, I thought charges bit was they should
take back to back quarter That's whatMoss said. Twenty sixteen. No quarterback
again. Two thousand and seventeen,No quarterback again. Twenty and eighteen,
no quarterback again. Twenty and nineteen, no quarterback again. I was bringing

(40:12):
a free agent. Twenty twenty theytook Nate Stanley in round seven. Nate
Stanley from IOLA
