Or nine Thus the midway point of the Land of
Opportunity Classic. The top of the stretches on the horizon.
Sum are pushing hard to catch up, and some have
settled in destride and are just awaiting the moment the
rains are shaken and they are given their respective heads
and they sprint for the finish line. Now that's not now,
(01:42):
that's not right now. The best of the best survive
them thrive. You know that Sunday after Thanksgiving is where
the classiest of the classy, ever defined class take off

Nordo produces And I'm Paul Allen Brett Blake Moore is

point three, k fa N and the six' five to
(02:26):
One carpets Plus. Studios we are at Tco's Twin City's
Orthopedics Performance center today With kevin O'Connell joining the radio
show at eleven. Am The land Of Opportunity classic has
thirty two. Entrants we're at the midway point where The
Minnesota vikings currently. Positioned eighteenth is the. Answer they're eighteenth
(02:48):
in this thirty two horse. Classic but what kind of an?
Eighteenth what kind of an? Eighteenth is this puncher's chance
entrant into The land Of Opportunity? Classic are The Minnesota
vikings doing the moonwalk and losing? Ground are The Minnesota
vikings a quality metaphorical steed poisoned a? Pounds are The
(03:15):
Minnesota vikings on charging now as a mostly healthy bunch
off a victory that may be one of the biggest
two shockers this season for all involved in The land
Of Opportunity. Classic in, FACT i think it is one
of the two biggest shockers this season as they approach
The land Of opportunity and In sue ensuing classics or
(03:41):
in front OF Us carolina winning a lambo is a
thirteen and a half point.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Underdog, yeah that was a.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Shocker minnesota winning At detroit from a point spread, perspective
one of the biggest two upsets of the. Season The
National Football league is endured to this point nine point
dogs and they get the. Money we go TO Drc
Detroit racecourse and blister one of the favorites to get
(04:08):
to The land Of Opportunity, classic to actually be involved
in that match race known as The land Of Opportunity.
Classic that was a sweet little move from the back
of the pack by the metaphorical speed with a rider
wearing purple and gold. Colors now The ravens are three and.
(04:29):
Five The Baltimore ravens are three and five and also
maybe on charging they may be circumnavigating the field and
doing so with giant, strides emphasis on the word. May
Now baltimore is a four point, favorite three and a
half four point favorite TO Us Bank Stadium sunday and
(04:53):
yours truly just the life of The land Of Opportunity.
Classic cannot figure out. WHY i, mean if they're a
one point, favorite maybe a one and a half or.
Two all, right let's throw the chips in the air
And connell wave his arms like he just doesn't. Care
a four point. Favorite why The ravens Waxed? Miami Cool
(05:17):
minnesota has Gotten Healthy minnesota's at. Home baltimore's defense ain't,
great was great Against, miami but Again Cool minnesota was
super impressive with a win At. DETROIT i, mean that's
one of the favorites to be part of the match
race known as The land Of Opportunity. Classic why in
(05:38):
the heck Is baltimore a four point favorite in this?
One Matt, PRODUCER i can't figure out, why and good,
morning good.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Morning you, KNOW i wonder four. Points that's a lot
of points for a road, team it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is but if we're going down the horse racing angle,
here while The Minnesota vikings looked Like Amy's challenge On
sunday at Ford.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Field they looked Like tiger d week.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Before so the problem with handicapping The Minnesota vikings into
this game brilliant is who are The vikings talking about? Races,
WELL jj McCarthy may have just won The Arkansas, derby
but he struggled in other lower rated tracks against lower rated.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Competition BUT i.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Think it's fair to say who are The Baltimore Ravens
So Lamar jackson comes, back plays the, game they beat
Crap miami and now all of a sudden, POOF i
guess everything's just, okay, Right and it's three and five
In miland Of.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Opportunity, classic and that's The that's where you, handicappers whether
you were pulling hair out or pulling winning tickets in
The Breeders cup over the. Weekend, yeah you're trying to figure, out,
okay quality stock derby contending horse In Lamar jackson led
offense with The Baltimore ravens now with The Minnesota. Vikings
(06:56):
what were the expectations into the season versus what they
are through eight games.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Now depends on who's set in the morning line for
The Old land Of Opportunity. Classic so After lamar and
The chiefs Are lamar and The ravens lose to The,
chiefs they have THE i believe it was Was it's Not?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Mills was it former cowboy Quarterback? Rush that's.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Right they get blitzed at home by The texans forty
four to. Ten they lose to The rams at, home
they get the buy and THEN i think they moved
a huntly and drop thirty on The. Bears you look
at how they produced Without.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Lamar in that. Spot oh.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Jeez so the belief is in some ways that's simply
by nature of him returning that that means significant up
to significant increase now on that. Offense so our defense,
man whether it was at so far it was against
The eagles And Jalen, hurts you now look at At
Lamar jackson. Here the commonality between them is going to
(07:54):
be their ability to get outside of the pocket by
themselves an extra second and find thosetions down the. Field
and he just he rolled back onto the field Last
thursday and just dropped four touchdowns on those Awful dolphins.
Heads SO i think they're they're they're they're appreciating that
we are on the health. Come they appreciate that the
(08:15):
rookie had a stable and productive, game manufacturing three touchdowns
against the. Kiddies BUT i THINK i think those that
make the odds are still weary.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Of what the KID qb can.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Do and from a defensive, standpoint can The Minnesota vikings
look more Like amy's challenge or look more Like tiger
d when dealing With lamar And King henry and all.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
THOSE i, mean they got fifty tight ends on the freaking.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Team very, fair very very, fair because this is this
is you, know it's it's having having worked in this,
realm let's, say for more than half my, life and
that home team money line is looking. Good well that's
the that's the. Bit this is The, Okay so say
we're someplace where you can do things like that and
(09:01):
you're talking it out and. Everything it's almost like those
at the places taking you, know or taking. Wagers they
they're basically, like, yeah yeah we See baltimore minus. Four,
yeah we See baltimore as a two to one favorite
on the money. Line, yeah we know The Minnesota vikings
have gotten. Healthy, yeah we know The Minnesota vikings are at.
(09:24):
Home ee kitty, Kiddy, yeah kitty. Kitty why once you
get into those c notes or those banana, chips if
you think it's that easy?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Home?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Wow how much do you THINK nfl betting or odds
making in general.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Just goes, blanket like right off the.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
TOP i mean it used to be and they don't
do it this way, anymore but like three points for
home field, advantage, right you might put that into the.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Equation how much of it is strictly just a?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
QUARTERBACK i mean you have a multi you have a
guy that's a two TIME i think two TIME mvp
probably should have won a.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Third it does pretty well in the playoffs, too say For,
Josh yeah, yeah but This Saint january's that's the. Thing
that's a good.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Point it's so you, know you look At Josh allen
besting The Kansas City chiefs the other, Night chiefs fans
can go back home To Kansas city and, go, yeah that's,
fine see you In.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
January it will handle you. Again they better be careful
with that from five and. Four but this is but
this is a regular season.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Game and the two TIME mvp was AN mvp because
of what he does in the regular season through forty
plus touchdowns a year. Ago i'm curious how much of
it is you look And i'm looking at scores and.
Odds the vikings are three and a half point. Dogs
how much of that three and a? Half is it
half a? Point is it a? Hook is it a full?
Point where you're just? Analyzing, OKAY i have a track.
(10:38):
RECORD i have a lot of races run with this
with this thoroughbred In Lamar.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Jackson, yeah NOW i got the kid looked pretty.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Good signs of life supposed roster THAT'S qb independent can
still be productive in a playoff. Team as the kid,
GROWS i still don't know WHAT i have IN jj McCarthy, SAYS.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Qb TO, QB i wonder if that's that's a point
and a half in this.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Conversation very, fair very fairly laid out and from a passing,
standpoint assuming all constituents for The Minnesota vikings defensively are
healthy into this game like they were a last. Game
so here's the assumption that we Have Jonathan, Grenard Blake,
cashman And Andrew Van ginkel all playing together for what
(11:24):
would be a third time this.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Year usually looks pretty good when that.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Happens rather two and zero in that, situation and both
wins are on the, road and the last, win by the,
way was against an individual who is ten of ten
for my, money a.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Better passer Than Lamar. Jackson CAN i get a?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Witness, yeah, Certainly, Okay so let's let's let's lay it out.
Again baltimore three and a half or four point favorite
on the road AT Us Bank. Stadium Ravens Wax, miami
cool Beat. Miami people watch the, game their elite football.
Minds The Miami dolph's played that night like they were
trying to get the owner and general manager. FIRED i
(12:04):
mean like. THEY i would never accuse somebody of laying.
Down holy, COW i don't even know WHAT i was
watching that, night and that includes two a tongue of.
Ila they The dolphins are. Quitting, man The dolphins had
a little of THAT q word to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Him so. Cool Wn, ravens all, right? Cool?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
UH i Think, Yeah minnesota's gotten, Healthy minnesota's at.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Home he historically shreds The.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Dolphins he has some WEIRD i mean it's not, weird
but it's something like twenty touchdowns to just one pick
in his career against.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Him it's stand by for more on that sweet depth
chart deep. Dives standby for more on that in this
segment involving The Minnesota. Vikings oh so thought you were
going to do the device mine the? Heck Is baltimore
four point favor in this. ONE i mean it was
(12:55):
a super impressive win To. Detroit so here's Where i'm
going to change all?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Right you, ready AM i gonna hit that home team
money line this.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Weekend i'm gonna change your face and just get your
thinking a little. Bit we do have the head coach
of the underdogs here at eleven. O'clock you, know so.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
We won't discuss spreads with him, though not spreads but individual,
players Because i'm about ready to mention.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
One oh do the, sharps those who move lines with
massive amounts of? Money do the sharps Anticipate darra saw
not Playing? Sunday are they playing that? Game?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh like That Josh allen game Of? Buffalo they playing that? Game?
Oh my? Goodness do they anticipate force too? Big i've
done this and looked at this a long. Time people
can believe me or. Not force heavy for is a big.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Number baltimore's defense ain't. Great baltimore's defense ain't. Great, okay
so are the sharps rolling the symbolic?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Dice thinking you're back to that pitch count, thing back
to that whole thing he played the whole games think snaps.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Here, yeah you think you get him Three is it
one of Those you think you get him three quarters.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And it's really only. One you're gonna sweat him the whole.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Week he's going to go LIMITED dnp full and then
he's going to do a workout before the. Game is
it this your coaching staff's going to be there and
then he's going to bow.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Out what's going to? Happen is it?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
This The Minnesota vikings just dominated a big time rushing,
offense but The sharps don't believe you can do it
two consecutive. Times, Okay, well what would your context?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Be ah?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Glad you Asked Paul Comani banal after Silencing saquan Just,
Steiny Saquon Just, Stymey Saquon. Comanivadal it's Got Matt. Luck,
Okay so that's what they're looking. At land Of Opportunity
classic as prep, RACES.

I, Mean Justice hill goes for eighty five yards and.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Two there are prep races. Here, Well Scott, Mattlock Keaton,

three hundred towns because there will be a number that
comes up With kevin O'Connell nearing the end of the
chap when we get into The ravens Where i'm like
raining coach of the. Year let me ask you a.
Question does the number five thirty two do anything for? You, uh,
(15:35):

ricard and that's a two man jumbo package coming right
at you this.
Speaker 2 (15:44):

lot Of ravens, games but it feels Like harbaugh has

Weekend he's a beef feeder and they got tight ends
falling out of their.
Speaker 2 (16:07):

he's a bee feeder with. PURPOSE fa.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The right. Guard fourth Yere?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Minnesota all, right and, finally so now you're, wondering at
LEAST i, am why are they such a big.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Favorite on the Road? MIAMI i mean That. Miami i'd me.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Cool, okay all, right then you get to, this, well
what about what About? Minnesota vikings defensive Coordinator Brian. Flores,
okay we have we have not Played baltimore since twenty
twenty one AT m AND T Bank. Stadium is that
the overtime? BIT i think it was. Overtime ca'm buying
them with a pick or. SOMETHING a day Hit man
(16:58):
got bit or came up bit mourning of the.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Game remember the days of worrying about.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
That, Yeah hitman came up, bit mourning of the game
and buying. Them got his first, start and he had
an interception in the, sack first, sack first, Pick Lamar.
Jackson that'll go high a top the. Resume that was
the last time The vikings played The. Ravens, now what
About Brian, flores defensive coordinator for The Minnesota. Vikings, well
(17:25):
he's the former head coach of The Miami dolphins and his.
Dolphins now we're talking To dolphins, here all, right different
offense and defense than The, vikings but specifically a different
offense to protect a. Defense keep that in, Mind, Yeah
floraes and His. Dolphins flora is calling all the defensive
shots in twenty. Nineteen it's his first year as head
(17:47):
coach of The Miami. Dolphins in his very first game
as head coach of The Miami.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Dolphins it's a home.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Game sky you mom that they're all loving the, situation
the regime. Change he comes from The Belichick. Tree first
game lost fifty nine to ten to The Baltimore. Ravens
lamar went seventeen of twenty for, three twenty five and.
Five B flows quarterbacks Were Ryan fitzpatrick And Josh. Rosen
his running backs Were Kenyon drake and something Called Mark.
(18:16):
Walton his top two receivers Were DeVante parker And Preston.
WILSON a little different offense to protect the defense this,
Weekend i'd, say post LI a little different offense to
protect the defense and The vikings defense this year from
a personnel, standpoint dramatically better, yes than his very first
game as a defensive play calling head coach for The
(18:38):
Miami dolphins in twenty. Nineteen it Was Lamar jackson's second,
year seventeen of twenty, three twenty five and, five right
out of the gate to Start bflow's.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Career well that's, special welcome to THE.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Nfl so a little different offense to Protect bflow's defense this,
time we would, SAY.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I, WONDER i wonder how much healthier because we focus
and we've seen it across the board other teams dealing with,
injuries you Know chargers most, recently but they Got herbert
and that kind of stabilizes some.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Things Joe, alt just one, second we've passed the, fifteen which, means, oh,
yeah it's a. Marathon it has to. Happen, well we're
marathoning out of. Nowhere thought we did a fifteen maybe at.

(20:19):
that debut For flores and his play calling defense against
The lamar.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Fifty nine to. Ten you, said, yeah fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Points five, touchdowns will look the other way on that.
One what about twenty twenty, two the year Before Brian
flores got. Here, well what Was Brian flores doing in
twenty twenty. Two, well he was the right hand man
For Mike tomlin with The Pittsburgh steelers and then he
had a big say in The steelers. Defense but they
do that Year they split with The ravens one in
(20:47):
one and The ravens combined for a grand total of
thirty points in those two. Games, okay Now lamar didn't
play in one of, them but, nevertheless thirty points in
those two.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Games so let's close.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The Steves appliances Marathon Steve's Appliances. Marathon with these two
hyperbolic or, Hyperaccurates, okay hyperbolic or, hyperaccurate The Baltimore ravens
absolutely should be four point road favorites At Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Sunday, YEAH i think that's. Hyperbolic it's. Hyperbolic, YES i
THINK i think they're get the one. Thing as we
were talking about our team getting healthier and dealing with,
injuries This mattabuque thing for them and Specifically Kyle ney
Or Van kyle Van ney excuse, me earlier in the,
season massive. Problems mattabuk's out for the, SEASON i, Think
but but Van ney's, Back Malachi. Starks they get that
(21:42):
rookie SAFETY i think is starting to come on a
little bit and play. Better LIKE i just think they're
getting healthier similarly to where we. ARE i, see BUT
I i, OVERALL i pragmatically am with.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
YOU i think too. MUCH i can't points. Is it
feels like way too.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Much i'd even understand if it was just one of
those you, know flipping Like ravens by one in a
hook or something like That ravens, deal that's not a big.
Deal four's a fat number for tells you that this
is obviously a much better TEAM i get paper and
that even despite being on the, road that they should handle.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Business that's too much hyperbolic or hyper.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Accurate what The Minnesota vikings Did sunday At Ford field
was a fluke and a dramatic regression is on the.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Horizon, well that's also.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Hyperbolic that you, mean, well because not according To Roxy
rocksboro And Las vegas sports consultants and the people who
set the, lines we have finally got to see after
a month and a, half a mostly healthy offensive line
and now Even Ryan kelly apparently is doing some work
off to the.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Side it sounds like this week.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And unless unless The sharps know There's darrisaw terrorism on
the horizon because agents have loose.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
LIPS i, MEAN i have to be honest over the last,
MONTH i can't trust until the first offensive drive AND
i see.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Seventy one there that seventy one is going to be out.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
There and off that, comment we'd like to Welcome kevin
O'Connell with the.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Conversation, now good, morning Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Joe sticking to the. Plan we appreciate the, plan we
trust in the. Plan we can't wait for more of the. Plan,
yes why is your face?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Red? Oh? Derek, okay, well, yeah let's talk about the.
Defense this is not a. Fluke it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Is it's hyperbolic to say that it is and to
then also denote that a massive regression would take.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Place thank.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You this is the fork in the road for this
team in twenty twenty five where you did it At Ford.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Field that's. Sweet now go do it.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Again so the owners certainty is on the team to
replicate this process and to show up and be very
game Against lamar On.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Sunday, fair but walking out of.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It should you have expected a nine point dog to
go in there and get the?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Win maybe.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Not you should have expected a nine point dog in
This vikings team to be game to potentially win.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It they went ahead and did, it and so it's
not a. Fluke we're seeing, health we're seeing baby steps
by THE, qb very good things to be really excited.
About but now again fork and, road it's hyperbolic because
you're you're you're pointing down an obvious point of. REGRESSION
i JUST i just think that the the the the
burden is on them to prove. It, Yeah AND i
(24:12):
think that's fair and if they go out and PROVE
i mean The ravens, again that's. Fair defense has been.
TOUGH i think they're getting. Healthier the run game is.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Unbelievable uh you Get kamani vidoald a couple of weeks.
Ago but what you did To, saquan what you were
able to do To gibbs In, montgomery that tandem On.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Sunday now go do it Against King. Henry, now now
limit those second chance opportunities For. Lamar you go out
and prove it This. SUNDAY i think it'd be, WELL
i mean it's.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
The bears next, week so The vikings will be favorite
at home against The. Bears but you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Get my point WHERE i think faces will change maybe
nationally in terms of this. Team, like, hey, HEY i
think The purple are back top of the head all,
right BECAUSE i meant to look this up AND i
Forgot carolina granted four and, Four, okay this is a
four and four, Team SO i mean they're.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Five and four, now, no, no, no into the, yeah four and.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Four so it's not like you're talking about some one
and seven clipping penalty that like Think buffalo AT Us
Banks stadium twenty, eighteen sixteen and a half point, favorites
they're going, underdogs they go and. Win but thirteen and
a half point dogs on the road never win in THE. Nfl,
no they, did, never, ever, ever and they. Did so
(25:19):
that's probably the biggest point spread upset of the. Season
Vikings vikings winning by nine At Ford field against that. Group,
well that's that's one of the bigger shockers that's taking
place in THE nfl this.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Year.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Agreed can you think of anything, else like Like tennessee
hasn't gone anywhere or left shaking.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hands, no it's like someone they well they.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
SHO i mean maybe a shocker would be. Whinning The
titans won that weird game against The. Cards, yeah but
The cards you had to kicking it around into the
end zone and his weird stuff, happening And kyler's just
to complete L.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
YEAH i THINK i Think arizona was a seven point
favorite in that game at.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Home so, NO i see What i'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Here maybe maybe The, giants although they were at, home,
right The giants Beat philly a few weeks. Ago that
was kind of surprising at least maybe the manner they
did it. Right, NO i think these are two of
the biggest matter of, FACT i Think carolina that's one
of the three biggest upsets and from a point spread,
standpoint like the last two, decades, sadly our team was
(26:20):
on the losing side of.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That twenty eighteen with The bills in.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Town we were like seventeen and a half point favorites
and lost that game.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Handily but but you, know it's the most shocking game
of the.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Year The Carolina panthers week to week, league they're they're
a total house of, cards by the, way whether It's
dalton rolling in there and Then Bryce young doing his
thing three yards at a, time And doubtell's coming out
of nowhere resurging his career like just.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Weird teams shouldn't have lost to.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Him but but you know the surprising nature and maybe
that was into.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
It you have to BE i.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Mean you're you're boldly betting that it was a fluke
because of the massive underdog taking that w At Ford,
field the head. Coach everything's on. Us vikings didn't do.
Anything they just showed up and we failed miserably. Correct
vikings did nothing good that entire. Game it's completely our,
fault and we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And we'll change self inflicted, whizzles self inflicted.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Whizzles SO i THINK i think the point spread's too.
HEAVY i don't think it was a, fluke. YEP i
think the team has to prove that it wasn't a, fluke,
though and they're going to have a cool chance to
do it Against.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Lamar, meanwhile in a roundabout, way, somehow in an opening
marathon that involves something called The land Of Opportunity, classic
The Minnesota vikings currently being an on charging eighteenth injuries,
speculation point point spreads current defensive coordinators and games Against
(27:45):
lamar when they were head, coaches and everything in, between
which includes hyperbolic or hyper. Accurate, somehow The Carolina panthers
were mentioned thirteen and a half.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Times in the so being. Segment so here's the, question.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Who's producing nine to noon today back at the six
five One carpets plus.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Studios it is, Uh Brett Blakemore.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Brett you, KNOW i wanted to apologize to him as,
well because you Know brett IS i, mean he's a
Diseased packers. Fan we know, that BUT i wanted to
apologize to him for a TEXT i sent at three
h three pm On.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Sunday it was. Petty it was. Petulant it was.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Unacceptable you're one of THE i texted, him great win
for the pack. Today you did NOT i did when
you knew they would. Lose, well right after the field,
GOAL i. KNEW i can't believe you're one of. THOSE
i know you would ever have been one of. Those what, happened,
well it was. Childish my dad had been texting.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Me he's a Diseased packers fan as, well and he
had been texting me all, Afternoon, hey look at, this
look at, this and then suddenly it got. Quiet he
still hasn't actually texted me. Back SO i needed to take.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It out on.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
SOMEBODY i wasn't going to take it out on my,
Father SO i sent it To Brett jesus AND i
apologize for. That it was, immature good AND i learned
from it And i'm gonna do. Better apology accept to DOUBLE.
B would you, believe, yes it?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Is would you believe that you were probably the fifth
worst Text i've? Got and when that kick went in
the field, goal that that makes you feel?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Right but in knowing the fair amount of your, covenant
most of it lacks, class most of it lacks. Tact
most of it is of the slovenly, variety nor does. Not,
okay so therefore he needed to apologize because The Love
covenant does not roll that. Way wait on my, mind
And i'm, Sorry, Brett i'm really. Sorry all, good just,
(29:36):
football all of, that all of, that, WELL i mean

Clearwater minnesota. Company it's really really good. Stuff thank You
matt and. Everybody thank You Minnesota vikings for welcoming us
Into Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance, center SPECIFICALLY Tco studios for
A Tco tuesday on a special day because.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's trade deadline.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
DAY nfl trade deadline is this afternoon at three. Pm
And i'm sure you may have a question for the, coach, like.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
You, know give us a, hint give us a. Name,
ko can you somewhere in this? Building and my access
in the building is restricted to such THAT i can't
just go knock On quacy's, door BUT i imagine the
door is. CLOSED i imagine phones are.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Ringing probably not fact, machines but maybe some text messages
and The vikings with an opportunity maybe to get better.
Today i'm curious Because i've been seeing there was news.
YESTERDAY i think it was A Sante samuel. JUNIOR i
didn't know this was, happening BUT i remember around the
draft everyone was, like man A Sante. Samuel he's going
to be a free. Agent vikings want to get better at,
(32:55):
corner why not get A. Sante, well apparently In april
A Sante Samuel junior had like some spinal fusion surgery
and he's just been cleared as of recently to resume football.
ACTIVITIES i have no idea what kind of shape he's.
In the reason this isn't even A Sante Samuel junior
specific obviously The vikings never made a move on, him
but with trade deadline approaching and certain, positions the depth of,
(33:18):
it maybe the lack THEREOF i just wonder if if
there was a direction that you see if The vikings
were to make a, move can you consider a.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Position maybe it's. CORNER i think about corner a little
bit from a death. Standpoint maybe there was a position
you think The vikings may target if they were indeed
buyers as.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Of today deadline. DAY a couple of.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
THINGS a how did the victory At Ford field play
into trade deadline day The tuesday after That? Sunday if
you had, lost would that have changed? Minds if you
had gotten, killed would that have changed? Minds when it
comes to certain, players you won and you look good doing.
It how much can you count on the battered and
(34:03):
the wounded staying healthy a majority of the rest of the.
SEASON i think that probably is on the minds of some.
Individuals who's coming back and when that would? Entail Center Ryan,
Kelly asnordo said last segment during the, marathon that he'll
be working on a side field when the team, practices
so he's taken baby steps to coming.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
BACK i Think Josh oliver is doing the same thing this,
week And Josh oliver.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Too so when it comes to the general manager in this,
group are not afraid to? Trade, now let's consider players
for whom teams trade at this time of the, year
so you can go ahead and look at. Players there
have been a fair amount of trades that took place
(34:47):
all the way back TO i Think cleveland began it
by Trading Joe flacco to The Cincinnati. Bengals, Well Jalen
phillips just was traded From miami To philadelphia for a
third round. Pick so that's pretty significant compensation for a
pretty good, player not high end elite, compensation not high
end elite player injury, issues but at least where at
(35:11):
least where he. Was, Yeah So Howie roseman and The
eagles they cover it pass. Rush Trey hendrickson is the.
Name Trey hendrickson And Max crosby are two names, that
in full hardy, fashion you will hear a lot. Today
i'm telling you right now and put it right back
in my face tomorrow with the. Talkbacks if you, want
(35:33):
ain't nobody Trading Trey hendrickson To Max. Crosby players like
that don't get, traded, okay because the teams that have
them they want to keep them because they're they're lynch.
Pins they're centerpieces for what potentially can make them. Good
so with the outside Of jail And, phillips if you
look at everybody who's been, traded, yes it's not a
(35:55):
lot of quality stocking. There so from a depth, standpoint all,
RIGHT i can understand. That but if The vikings don't trade,
TODAY i wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Surprised bikes.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Bites i'm kind of sitting in that spot as. Well
you kind of triggered something with. Me there is there
any element where, though on the other end of, it
if you had players who were potentially, underperforming if you
had players who you just needed more out, of let's
say you got a lot more out of them On.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Sunday you get the, win you look good doing.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It but in the same, sense if you're, quasy you're,
WONDERING i wonder maybe if a certain defensive lineman or
a certain player at this, position, man they balled. Out
we needed. It we were hoping to get eight games of.
That we finally got some of. It that, actually despite
the win and looking good doing, it that actually enhances
the potential.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Value of a move being made on deadline.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Day, well the ones on whom everybody wants to pick
is Our Miami, tennessee The Las Vegas. RAIDERS i, mean
just look at the worst of the. Worst what If.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Jeffrey simmons became.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Available but, see the thing is is Like Howie, roseman all,
right props to THE gm for The. Eagles he recognized
they need pass rush, help and they, do especially from the.
Edge he picked on a team that's vulnerable and he
got a pretty good, player but he had to give
up a. Third SO i, Mean i'm you, know you
(37:30):
got to look at the. Salary this the whole thing
that there's just so much that goes to it but into.
It but from this standpoint, here, okay into The lions
game this, WEEKEND. Tj howkinson had one regular season touchdown
reception in nineteen regular season. Games, okay so, like how
(37:52):
did that factor into the equation because he makes a pretty. Penny,
Well kevin O'Connell's, gone you, know public, saying whether it's
the the pregame, show which he said right before The lions,
game or press conferences or, whatever we need to GET tj,
Going we need to GET tj. Going, well they kind
of GOT tj going a little bit At Ford. Field
he scored a. Touchdown Jordan addison that there's another name
(38:14):
THAT i think nationally people would be, like all, right,
well he's a high, ender so there will be a
market For Jordan, addison who also IS i believe he's
coming up your first round, pick so you can do
the fifth year option. Bit BUT i think he's heading
into his fourth, year so he's you, know you still
have technically two years left With jordan if you want
(38:36):
those two.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
YEARS i think next spring is before his fourth. Year
that's when they would make the decision on the fifth year. Option,
Right so you got all, that all?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Right? Addison all?
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Right, well the off the field sleeping in the car
bit gets suspended three. Games you trade For thieling to
fill in for three, games apparently is what the role,
was you. Know but during that equation you gave up
a fourth and twenty twenty seven AND i think a
fifth and twenty twenty. Six you might have gotten back
a six something and the player something like. That, yeah
(39:07):
okay THAT i, mean that's fair country compensation right, there
by the, way for somebody playing four. Plays but, anyway we.
Digress So, addison so he was suspended three games and
then he decides to go a wall In london and
gets gets disciplined for a quarter At Tottenham.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Hotspur, right all?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Right so WHY i bring that up is because the
player's high end and is the. Team If i'm a
gem for another, team how frustrated are you with? Him
what do you want for? HIM i absolutely ask About
addison If i'm another team because he can Be he's
a high end number two receiver for a lot of
teams around THE, nfl including this. One he's a number
(39:50):
one receiver for some teams in THE, Nfl.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yes he. Is players like that are hard to. Find
with The vikings trade.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Him, well with the way things worked out at Ford,
field and the fact this is The land Of Opportunity
classic and all of a sudden the division is winnable
for all, four the divisions winnable for all, four, WELL
i would be. Frustrated i'd be upset if they Traded Jordan.
Addison And i'm not saying that they're going. To in,
FACT i think there's basically no chance they. Do but
(40:19):
if they, Did i'd be, upset, man BECAUSE i, Mean
jordan was so good in That lions, game and it
was so good When justin was down last. Year but
so those are like some scenarios If i'm looking at
The vikings thinking where may they be willing to give
up a high ender that can help, Us and the
fact is that not a lot of high enders are
traded at THE nfl trading.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Deadline, indeed that's based on the time That's vikes Bites
Vikes bites brought to you By Thousand Hills Lifetime grazed
grass Fed, Beef Patrick Patrick. Recard you know you mentioned

the white horse was galloping around happy or winning with a,
winnie so to. Speak but The broncos at one, point
(42:36):
we're one and jwo and they've won six in a.
Row to improve to seven and, two.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
They had to get The titans at the wire two
Or texans, rather there you, go And Kansas city is
five and. Four so props to The Denver broncos for
finding a way to win game after game after game after,
game no matter how tightly contested they, are no matter
if you need to shoot it out at mile high
(43:00):
to score a bunch of points to, win or you
go To london and you went about the ugliest game
anybody's ever going to see this side Of baltimore And
miami against against The New York. Jets so props to
The Denver, broncos they're seven and. Two props to The
New England, patriots they're also seven and, two and the
proppers are being delivered from, yours, truly simply BECAUSE i
(43:23):

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Turn of gridiron gospel.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Speed they're first in THE Afc east and they've already
won At. Buffalo, okay so props To Mike vrabel and
The New England. Patriots being seven and, two you want
to want to send up props to, Anybody.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
WELL i just you, know this is kind of at.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
LARGE i kind of send props to the to THE Nfc,
west AND i mean The cards won last. NIGHT i
still Think Jacoby brissett is better for petsing in that
offense Than Kyler.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
MURRAY i like. That but they're three and.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Five.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Operation, Yeah But i'm looking whether it's The, niners WHO
i just thought the bottom was going to start to
fall out with how injured and beaten up and batter
The niners have. Been they go and absolutely handle The
giants like they were supposed. To So i'm dead wrong on.
That you got to give credit to The, Seahawks AND
i think it's, McDonald the new head coach or second.
Year he's like eleven and one on the, road like
(45:07):
that's just it's a very very smooth. Operation they Have
Jackson smith And jigba and And darnold's. THERE i think
he's got sixteen or seventeen tds so far this.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Year but you're.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Looking at a six and Two seahawks, team a six
and three Nine ers, team and then a six and
Two rams, team and it seems weird to, just you,
know to compliment, McVeigh, Like, oh of course it's McVeigh
and It's, stafford and It's devonte and It's. Puka but
what they're doing defensively to teams right now is really
impressive as. Well, yeah THE Nfc west in, general props
as we were looking at as talented and as competitive
(45:38):
as our own division could. BE i think THE Nfc
west deserves a ton of props for what they're doing out.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
There and, also and this is low key fashion but
and it's not. FORCED i mean, Seriously props to The Chicago.
Bears props To Ben. Johnson, yeah this team's five and,
three AND i you, know FROM, afar viewing it FROM
afar and reading things about. IT i JUST i think
he's putting together a masterpiece With Caleb. Williams the way
(46:04):
he is using or not using this, quarterback just emphasis
on the not using, part but when he needs to use,
him it's. Working and WHAT i mean is is he's
not putting him in compromising. Positions but when they need
to play catch up and he needs to unfurl some
of his choice, plays they're. Working so it's starting to
(46:25):
come together for a team whose personnel is only going
to get better moving.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Forward so props to The Chicago. Bears.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Man, yeah and you know What i'm gonna, say and
this is going to be in a. LOSS i understand
that they lost last. Night speaking to The, cardinals The cowboys.
Lost the whole thing's ugly down. There jerry's weird and
he's cryptically talking about trades that were, made and then
it turns out it's just some middle linebacker from The,
bengals and everyone's excited and everyone hates him again because
of The parsons. BIT i have been really impressed With
(46:55):
Dak prescott and how he's handled that offense WITHOUT cd
for a number of, weeks figuring out how to run
the ball in totality by the way of the, season
not just what we saw last.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Night defense is. HIDEOUS i don't think they're a playoff.
Team The eagles will run away with.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
That, division specifically now That Jayden daniels is going to
be on The men for a long.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
TIME i Just Dak prescott has always been a weird
quarterback for me to handicap or to, evaluate or to
appreciate or not, Appreciate And i've spent more time not appreciating,
him to be, Honest BUT i just think that That
cowboys offense has been really the lone bright, spot the
flash of The dallas star for a franchise that really
(47:32):
is just in full degradation mode as long As Jerry
jones is in charge of making decisions.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
And speaking of The Dallas. Cowboys to, close props to
The Dallas. Cowboys, oh props to The Dallas cowboys for
finding a way to score the second most points in
the entire league and have a losing. Record Ben, gessling
who covers the vikings for The, strip joins us next
on A Tcopc.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Tuesday you're listening to nine to. Noon
