Speaker 1 (00:00):
Win donaldha football, what's that fool doing? What's that bull doing?
You lucky suckers?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hey, the box of all boxes ever to vox excuse me,
the vox of all voxes ever to vox. Alan Roach,
Mile High Roach, the Voice of US Bank Stadium joins
twenty five minutes from.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Now, ninety minutes from now.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Heinze Coach Hines by favor Faith by for checking faith
Minnesota Wild ten oh and two in the last twelve
Calgary will be the next to take the l and
that's tomorrow night, assumably on KFAM Heinze John Hines At
about eleven thirty five, Nordo produces and I'm Paul Allen,

(00:51):
and it comes with deep regret and a fair amount
of chagrin on the countenance of your announcer that this
segment has been entitled Vikes Bits that Bite. So we
got bikes bites, yeah, and uh, but we don't have

(01:11):
Vikes bites that bit, right, But we have bikes bits
the bite and Vikes bits the bite include the potential
the potential of historically bad numbers for the Minnesota Vikings.
Some historically bad things are developing right now. I already
hate this segment and unprompted, Florio, you know, kind kind

(01:37):
kind of like I tried to get out of that.
Viking's part of the conversation alive after the four and
eight and he's like, what you don't you don't want
to talk about what goes on the four and eight.
I'm like, not really, but you know you're you're the guest,
and you know you is he the I think? Is
he the longest? Yeah, he's the longest tenured weeklyue. Maybe
Lavelle Neil the third, but Florio's one of the longest

(01:59):
tenured week league. Yes, Nine to Noon. So if he says,
you know, and I'm not blow it out. So he
hit on some some things about you know, over the
course of his lifetime, been only really like five really
really really bad teams and things like that. And he
did that unprompted a day after yours truly completed crafting

(02:24):
some bikes bits the bike simply because in takes for
tots like fashion, Nine to Noon wants you to be informed.
You know, we don't want you to call Vikings fanline
and then formulate and elite opinion on this and then
a high end opinion on that, and then all of
a sudden like end. It with being pissed off at

(02:45):
somebody because Josh Dobbs can't pass.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh, I mean, we.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Want you to complete the trifecta when it comes to acumen, knowledge, veracity,
and accuracy.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I've been laughing about that since Sunday.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
So there are some historically bad things developing right now
with our favorite football team, and I'm Paul Allen. Now
the Pittsburgh Pirates missed the playoffs. Baseball team missed the
playoffs from ninety two to twenty twelve. All right, so
that's like, oh, that's historically amazing. No playoffs ninety two

(03:23):
to twenty twelve. For Nordo's Buckos, the eighty one Baltimore
Colts eighty one Baltimore Colts were minus twenty seven in
the turnover differential minus twenty seven. That's the worst in
the last fifty years, according to the Statistical Wherewithal website

(03:44):
at which I was gandering yesterday.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Even the Rockies have found a way to inch their
way into the postseason.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
With that transient and chill Lase fair vibe mile high.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
More often than the Pirates, Rockey fans are like who cares.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
We have the Rocky Mountains, opportunities to ski and dispensaries.
I always love that way. It cours straight from the
teed out there too. You live in Pittsburgh and your
baseball team matters to you. Willie pop Stargel, Dave Parker,
Omar Moreno and Clemente. Though Roberto Clemente God rest his
soul and kent to Calvy with the old submarine relief

(04:23):
pitcher style. They got some memmortality to them. But they
make the playoffs for twenty years. That's historically bad. The
Minnesota Vikings have five games to play, and they play
Washington Dallas, the Giants, the Lions, and the Packers, Washington
Detroit on Christmas Day and the Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
They're all here.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Here are the defensive rankings regarding yards per game of opponents.
The Minnesota Vikings play the rest of the journey. So
what we're looking at here mostly is going to have
an offensive bent to it. Don't kill the messenger, but
it'll have an offensive bent to it. That believe me,
there is more that I could have. And even may

(05:05):
tomorrow and or Thursday, or maybe at the feat excuse
me tomorrow and or the feast may craft some more.
But it's kind of a masochistic task, to be honest
with you. Yeah, it depends on the mood mostly. Yeah,
it was a masochistic task. Looking all of this up,
the Washington Commanders at three and nine, are one and

(05:28):
six on the road, and they have lost seven consecutive games.
The Washington Commanders are favored to win at US Bank
Stadium stop despite all of that negativity, their defense with
yards per game allowed is thirty first in the NFL.

(05:50):
El Dallas after that at Dallas, Dallas caught fire, but
Dallas's defense twenty ninth yards per game allowed. And the
New York Giants that'll be in New Jersey, they're thirtieth.
They are allowing the thirtieth most yards per game. I
provide that because I'm contextually obsessed, guy, where I don't

(06:15):
I just don't like to spitball, and then like say
I don't care about it, I care about it. So
contextually speaking, with the next three games, those are games
against defenses with any quarterback you have under center where
you're supposed to make hay, make that proverbial hay. And

(06:39):
there have been shoddy quarterbacks, there have been really good quarterbacks,
really good teams and middling teams or bad teams that
have made that metaphorical hay against these defenses.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
The Lions defense isn't as.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Good as maybe some including myself, thought it would be,
but they're still fourteenth yards against Packers are fourth. And
the Packers construct games to maximize the game, managing performance
out of their quarterback, shrink the clock, win the time
of possession, and not give up yards. And it's a
formula that may win them a division and or certainly

(07:17):
get them to the postseason. So now, from an historical
perspective with the twenty twenty five Minnesota Vikings, first, a question,
when laying out historically good or bad things, does sixteen
games compared to seventeen games?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
How much does that matter?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Because for the new schoolers, come on in here, lean in,
there used to be fourteen game seasons, all right. I'm
out on fourteen game seasons when it comes to historical
perspective unless it involves certain records and things like that.
And you'll learn about that momentarily. Sixteen games compared to
seventeen games. And I thought a lot about this this

(08:01):
weekend with Jackson Smith and Jigbuck until Brian Flores basically
put him in, put him in a box and didn't
let him out and did his part to absolutely ruin
and dismantle what could be an historic season. It still
maybe maybe he'll overcompensate for it and go for two

(08:24):
seventy five against somebody, But that's you know, when it
comes to best number ever history of whatever, you know,
Adrian Peterson in twenty twelve and that MVP year with
a running back actually winning the MVP. He set the
single season rushing record in sixteen games. So if somebody
beats it in seventeen games, like, does that matter to you?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, he clear he didn't.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't believe he was like one hundred yards or
ninety some yards short of Dickerson in twenty twelve, So
he didn't say it right, thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
But in terms of if you're the MVP, if you're.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Thinking Saquan Average, thank you last year versus Adrian Average.
To be honest with you, that doesn't matter a ton
to me. Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
So let's begin with the historical perspective on turnovers.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Rosemar second and six from the Seattle twenty eight poor
Man Rush Rosemar Rose to Addison and its intercept it
by Rieke Wullen and Harry Combs fifteen twenty heads to
the right, shakes the tackle of Bill Frize at the
thirty heads to the center. Now he dropped it and
it's up for grabs at the thirty seven yard line.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Goodness.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
So I mean I think the Vikings they covered it, Yes,
they did, so they're going to have it first and
ten from their own thirty seven in saren diipitous fashion
on a circus.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
So there's a turnover from the Seattle game and the
Minnesota Vikings during the final five. They're required to be
takers in the giving season. That's the requirement. Will they
come through with said requirement? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I hope so.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
But they're required to be takers in the giving season.
Why their turnover differential the old take give game, which
is vital to win for all the best teams in
the NFL, they are minus fifteen. They are minus fifteen,
fifteen more gives than takes.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's last in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
From an historical perspective, it is third worst in the
history of Minnesota Vikings football. The second worst would be
the two thousand and two Minnesota Vikings at minus eighteen
and the worst in the history of the franchise two
thousand and one minus twenty one. So if you go
minus seven over the final five games, you will make history.

(10:51):
From an inadequacy standpoint, just being up next to that
or close to that is shabby.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But they're minus fifteen.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That's the third worst turnover differential in the history of
a Story franchise. Wow, two thousand and one minus twenty one.
So don't go minus seven over the final five games
unless you want to, in abysmal fashion, establish and historical
perspective to this season.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well, it's kind of crazy too with this team. If
you look at now that the differential as you're talking
about fifteen under underwater right now, that's awful. Last year
I think they were plus twelve something like that, but
they were still seventeenth in turnovers. That's something we've seen
over the last handful of years, PA, where this team

(11:38):
is giving.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
The ball up.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Now it's kind of a just an every other year
type of affair. Statistically, we're twenty twenty two, you're giving
the ball up. They were middle of the pack and turnovers,
but your defense was what they were opportunistic, They were
takers over the course of the twenty twenty two season.
Twenty twenty three, you're giving it up. I think they
were thirtieth or thirty first. I can that here in

(12:00):
just a second. Here they were let me see, they
were thirty first and turnovers. They gave it away thirty
four times in twenty twenty three, hence a seven and
ten wonkye season with multiple quarterbacks playing. Then they bounced
back a year ago, as I mentioned, and now here
they are again. And there's just whether it's you know,
I remember twenty twenty three. I think you start out

(12:21):
zho to three and you kind of bounce back before
the Achilles pops. But it was like the Tampa Bay game,
you're giving it away three times, the Chargers game, Hawkinson
fumbles at early Chiefs game, well, Carolina Panthers game, you
have this pick six from Kirk Chiefs game, you have
Josh Oliver opening possession with a fumble. Like these, these

(12:42):
mistakes and these self inflicted wounds that we are inflicting
upon ourselves has kind of been a trademark really over
the last half decade. The finishing line, the evening point
that you're talking about is that the defense has been
there to really pick it up in their own right
along the way, and in twenty I mean minus fifteen
is just preposterous. The fact that it's getting as close

(13:05):
to historic as you're laying it out.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
That's nutty. To each their own with their taste. Here's mine.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
In all the years that I've called Minnesota Vikings football
with the three interceptions, the twenty what five gives the
minus fifteen, the times of games they're happening, how they're happening,
I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
And so therefore.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
From an historical standpoint, don't kill the messenger. We're just
laying out like the history of it. And I called
the games in two thousand and two when they were
minus eighteen. That was with Dante Culpepper. All right, this
the hodgepodge. This year has been dramatically different. And then
your expectations getting built up to certain games of what
you want to happen, what you're either you want to

(13:53):
happen or you're told will happen, and then when it
doesn't happen, it's not just bad, it's traphic.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's falling to.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Your knees and going kent to call v on it
and throwing it to something called Ernest Jones the fourth.
It's catastrophic. I've never seen anything like this in my
play calling career, and Dante would, so the perspective definitely
is there with a Caleb Evans basically single handedly losing
a game in twenty twenty three twenty twenty three, bounces

(14:25):
off him into the awaiting arms of Joshua Palmer and
the Chargers win the game. I think it was right
off as helmet or something so that. I mean to
eat their own with their taste that's mine. Now, being
home for the holidays is supposed to matter, isn't it
supposed to be home, sweet home for the holiday? McCarthy

(14:46):
shotgun first intent from the Bear's fifteen Addison in motion
to the left, takes a snap. Now a poor man
rush McCarthy to the end.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Zone, pick.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Jo Us in just in the nick of time and
we're tied.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Heats sixteen Peace. J. J.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
McCarthy.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Well done a record, kicking it to the east side
of US Bank Stadium, Boom, A shorter kick by design
Dubernay from his own three heads right by ten fifteen twenty.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
It's a knife block from Blackwell. Eric Wilson trying to
run Ning down with Bill Record and Uff Blackwell, Nicka
Devin Dubernay out of bounds, deepened Vikings territory, Devin DuVernay
with a cold blooded return of fifty seven yards. Now

(15:41):
seven or eight game schedules, and the Vikings have nine
home games next year. So this gets a little This
can be a little difficult or a little opinion laden
when you have seven game home schedules or eight game
home schedules or nine like last year. Next year there

(16:03):
will be nine games at us Bank Stadium in the
regular season next year with no European travel on the horizon.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I don't believe so.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
When it comes to the worst home records in the
history of Minnesota Vikings football, the team has three home
games remaining Washington the Lions on Christmas Day in Green Bay.
After that, the Minnesota Vikings are one and four at home.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
They are one and four at home, one and four
at home. Right, one and.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Four, thank you. That is a winning percentage of two hundred.
That's a two hundred percentage tied with the sixty seven
Vikings who went one, four and two at home at
seven home games, one four and two at home well,
that's also a two hundred percentage. The sixty two Vikings

(16:51):
I think, second year of the franchise one five and one.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
At home seven games.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Again, keep it in perspective, but it's a one sixty
seven winning percentage at home. Then you get to the
twenty eleven Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
They were one and seven at home.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, one and seven at home with a winning percentage
of one twenty five. That's the worst home performance in
the history of Minnesota Vikings football. You have three home
games remaining. If you lose all three home games, you
will be tied for a home record of inadequacy. And

(17:28):
quite honestly, I don't think human nature gets a win
Personally speaking, I don't think anybody wants to be associated
with a one in seven home record, no, and a
winning percentage of one two five.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Well, and I looked at it. I looked at it
a little bit differently, you dug deep. I didn't go
back to that's what I do, to the true genesis,
you know, born in nineteen sixty one, the Vikings franchise.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
But that's good that you did, thank you.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I looked at it just again from nineteen eighty four
when I was born through today, and you have the
eighty four Stecle team, which is a disaster three win operation.
They had two wins at home, and then in six
you had a three and five record. Chile's first year
twenty eleven, it was Leslie Frasier's first full year as

(18:17):
a coach. You mentioned the one in seven twenty twenty
COVID year three and five, and then just two years
ago the team was two and six at home. So
it's since I've been alive there have only been five
seasons in which the Vikings were under five hundred at home,
much less what this particular incarnation of the Vikings is

(18:39):
approaching potential history of matching the worst home season in
the history of Vikings football. So you know the again,
the lopsided up year down year, up, year down year,
Kevin O'Connell's team two and six just two years ago
at home. I mean that's you're some ways feeling with
the kiddies and packers on the back end of that,

(19:01):
and what will be at stake for them, Yeah, the
opportunity to feel success at home.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
You have to freaking beat the Commanders. You have to.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
You can't have two seasons in four in which you
are winning two and six and then potentially one in
seven or two and six again. That is brutal and
catastrophic for the home Vikings loving fan base.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
We understand everything you're hearing right now requires stop.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
After this one, we will.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
The Minnesota Vikings have not scored a touchdown in eight
consecutive quarters.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Bill Riker to steven of nine this year from fifty plus,
this will be a fifty nine yard try right hash
snap spot kick leg excellent accuracy. Wow, holy cow, is
this kid good? Yeah, the kid's terrific. Thin this is

(19:57):
the last points they scored.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Cool, it feels like last points scored might have been
from fifty nine outside with a swirling wind and a
frozen tunder and the autumn wind is a backer.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
I said it, laid it out on Monday that having
lost four consecutive if you lose every game the rest
of the season, nine consecutive losses would be the most
in the history of Minnesota Vikings football. I mean, who
wants to be next to that mark of abysmal nature.
But having gone eight quarters sands a touchdown, this is

(20:33):
the first time a Vikings team has done that since
two thousand and one. You know the quarterbacks were in
two thousand and one, Todd Bawman and Spurgeon win.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I always love that one.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Eight consecutive quarters. Eight consecutive quarters is tied for the
worst in the history of the franchise. Spurgeon, you fail
to score a touchdown in quarter one Sunday and you
have set the longest touchdown list streak over the last
twenty five years. This is evil with which we are dealing.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Where is the light?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
The kid quarterback needs to solve some of these problems,
and the next opportunity could be Sunday at noon on
Kfan hear the fan fucks the vox of all boxes

(22:04):
ever to voxes back in the state Sunday for Vikings
and Commanders. Minnesota is looking to beat Washington for a
fourth consecutive time while also hoping to avoid its first
five game losing streak since twenty eleven. Alan Roach at
Mile High Roach via the Tweak Machine is the voice

(22:28):
of US Bank Stadium and abs games at Ballerina from
Slayton to saddle Ridge. The vox booms in second to
none fashion.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Good morning Allen, Good morning Pa.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
After a half hour of bits that bite, that leave
the taste of vomit in your mouth. I'm hoping I
can provide a little positivity.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, there's more program I can share more, but I
figured i'd save the McCarthy stuff until tomorrow. Anyway, your
avalanche of one twelve of the last thirteen, what a
what a quality product? And Alan Arena voxed a w
last night at ball against the Vancouver Canucks. These avalanche

(23:15):
the only loss in the equation. What is what happened there?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
That?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
To whom did they lose when they've won twelve of thirteen?
And what happened there? In good morning?

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Good morning? Yeah, I should have looked it up by
somebody asked me that question yesterday. Well who did they
lose to? I know the Ads started out five and
oh seven O six throwing one something like that, so
they didn't lose, you know, in their first couple of weeks.
There's somewhere around game ten that they lost their first game.

(23:48):
I haven't looked it up, so I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well, the team, the team to.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
Whom they are they're automatic right now?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, the team to unless it's uh, let's play.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, they're they're automatic. It's time to drop the pot.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Unless They're playing a team that's ten oh and two
right now. Look here, Look here a box. This Wild
organization is an unstoppable machine right now. How concerned are
you after volstat stonewalled McKinnon and mccarr last Friday to
earn the victory box of all boxes there back.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
Each each team left that game with a point, and
the Wild got the extra point. Yeah, and I guess
we'll call that the benefit of being at home. How
great would it be if these two teams, the Wild
and the Avalanche, can play a super meaningful Western Conference
playoffs series in May? The Wild have become the team

(24:53):
that Avalanche fans hate. You know, for years and years
it was the Detroit Red Wings, you know, in the
sackic and wha days, it was the Detroit Red Wings.
They've now gone to the other conference and the Wild
had taken that spot. And I think a big reason
is is because a Minnesota fans traveled pretty well with

(25:15):
their hockey team. But also there's a great number, just
like me, of Minnesota people that have moved to this area.
So when the Wild come to Ballerina and play, there
are a lot of Christmas jerseys and my favorite, the
throwback North Stars Wild jerseys in the sands. So the
Wild had become the team to hate for Avalanche fans.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, yeah, thanks, thanks in part to your radio or
TV play by play voice who went to the X
machine and freaked out when the youthful nature of Yesper
Volstadt had the audacity to fist, pomp and celebrate after
stopping in a shootout. Oh geez, just cal mccarr and
Nathan McKinnon and then the box back there, who's not you?

(25:59):
He doesn't boom from Slayton to saddle Ridge, goes to
the X machine. Basically just a tax wild nation. What
are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 6 (26:08):
You know, I didn't hear about this until yesterday afternoon, Barrero.
I just did my kitchen doing whatever, getting ready for
going to work, and I hear him play. Connor mcgahey,
the box of the Colorado Avalanche say, and Volstead stops
the shot Wild, we will win the game in overtime

(26:30):
three to two, and yes, for Bolstad is celebrating like
he won the Stanley Cup. He did not.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
I thought it was a brilliantly delivered line.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Of course you did.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
I think the world of Connor McGahee and I'll give
everyone a secret. I taught to kid everything he knows.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Wow, I couldn't pick Connor mcgahey out of a two
person lineup standing next to Bob Miller. But nevertheless, I
don't think. I don't think coy.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
He is a brilliant play by play FIRS. He is
voice for a home team, Paul, and I mean all
due respect, and he has certainly not reached your elite
status nor level. He is very much the same as you.
He is entertaining to listen to for not only the

(27:26):
home fans, any hockey fans, but especially the home fans.
He has nicknames for every player and rolls out those
nicknames every time they score a goal. And that that
little line right there that he said he's celebrating like
he won the Stanley Cup. He did not. I can
see you saying something.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Like that, Pa, that's kind of you.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
The difference is is when those listen to yours truly
here on KFAM, they're lucid and they know what they're
listening for. When they listen to that to that guy,
well you got dispensaries, they're all high, so they think
everything is just Youphourick in top of the world. I mean,
let's let's be serious with each other. Here, Hey, a
box of vox of all voxes ever to Vaux Allen Roach.

(28:09):
Here come the Commanders and they're three wins and seven
game losing street.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
They have a starting corner who wears the number zero.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
And I don't know if you've looked at other rosters
or the names, yep, but this cat's name is m
I K E. Then s A I N R I
S T I L. Have you looked at it yet?

Speaker 6 (28:37):
I have not. He is my day that I will
receive the flip card and begin making my rosters. But
that's Samra's still.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, well that's not the tricky part. Yeah, you nailed it.
But or saying we're still one of the two. M
I K E is first name. It ain't Mike. It's
my key. He's my key.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
And it's just I K E. But it's my key.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
It's my key. Yes, so be careful, be ready for that.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
We're just taking care of the box of all boxes ever,
the box because we care and we love. Also, uh,
beware of those curveballs boxed during these dark days of
the stadium. How about fellow corner number six. Last name

so what does one do with that one? Any any idea?

Speaker 6 (29:42):
I'd have to look at it, close it. And you
know they have the little pronunciation guide on the flip
card that tells you, but how many times? And I
know you know you feel the same way I do.
There are so many times where the visiting team puts
together the pronunciation guide and the pronunciation guy makes it
actually more difficult to pronounce the name than if you

(30:03):
just looked at it.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Big ben agony, big ben agonyogyig monogay, big big benogay.
We just have to find a way to beat all
those consonants Sunday. That's the bottom line. Now, your Minnesota
Vikings need to find a way to beat all of
those big beIN agony consonants.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Seriously, how do we do it? Ah?

Speaker 6 (30:27):
You know that's that's tough. The most disappointed, obviously, I'm disappointed.
All biking fans are disappointed. The most disappointed, I think
I am is and again this is from Afar and
kind of the only touch that I have with the
Vikings during the week is k fan and your show.
And I appreciate all of the great information and all

(30:50):
of the stats. What I dislike is, you know, hearing
the the absolute uh jump off the cliff mentality of
too many Vikings fans. And maybe it's just those are
the fans that are making their voices heard and others
feel just like me that, you know what, I'm fifty

(31:13):
nine years old, and granted we have had when it
comes to the Ultimate prize, nothing but failure for the
entire existence of the Minnesota Vikings. We've never gotten to
that promised plan, to that ultimate prize. But we have
not lived in the doldrums of where so many other

(31:36):
teams have. I mean, you're talking in the last half
hour about you know, the stats and it's the third
worst this and if we lose three more games, it's
the worst ever this. But we don't live there. It's
so unusual, it's so not part of what the Minnesota
Vikings have been. So maybe it's just because I'm fifty

(31:59):
nine and I'm able to look at it with my
age and experience and knowing it's going to turn around.
It's it's not the end of the world. This happens
to teams, and it happens to most teams much more
often than it's ever happened to the Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
You know, to whom it never happens.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Let's play hoh yayen.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
I say it every year about the Avalanche. You don't
want to be the best team in the NHL in October,
November and December, and probably three of the last five
years the Avalanche have been the best team in hockey
in October, November and December. You need to be the
best team in March, April and May.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Well, if it happened to be Abs and wild and
Nuggets and Timberwolves like at the same time Western Conference
Final Finals or something like that, I mean that Nordo
and I would be required to stay at your place
adjacent to Red Rocks.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Bring the access.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
And boom from Slayton to saddle Ridge on the box
of all boxes ever.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
To Vox Radio network. That would be terrific.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
This is Alan Roach, by the way, voice of US
Bank Stadium. You'll hear him this weekend at noon when
the Vikings and Commanders boom themselves away with four and
eight taking on three and nine. Now we just need
to get some good consistent run from JJ McCarthy. That's
most assuming he plays. That's most important right box, It's.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
Been most important since the Atlanta game when he hurt
his ankle. Is the kid has got to play. You know,
you can't play eight games this season and then pick
up next year. And you know, you talk about the
Drake Mays and the bow Nixes of the world. Maybe

(33:59):
they didn't struggle to the level that JJ has struggled
so far in his first six pack or seven or
whatever number of games it is. But they got through it,
and they got pasted it and they got passed it
by playing games and getting reps. The young former Michigan
quarterback star needs to play every offensive play the rest

(34:23):
of the way. Needs to play the first four games
of next season, and then we can start drawing some
conclusions about is there improvements that are being made, Is
there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Last late and your voice the dulcin Tones are all
about being dulce. Today is Denver in the Rocky Mountain
region just on fire with Broncos, love and if so,
does it bug you in anyway?

Speaker 6 (34:56):
It's horrible. I used to the only time, you know,
five six years ago, the only time I wouldn't listen
to Kfan is when I would listen to local sports
radio and Denver because I'd just hear them crying and
whining about the Denver Broncos and fire everyone and cut everyone.

(35:17):
It was enjoyable to listen to for an hour or
two every day.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Do you find yoursell Go ahead.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
Yeah, now listening to it, it's hard to take. But
going back to what I just said about teams that
go through bad stretches, certainly the Broncos have won a
lot more Super Bowls than the Minnesota Vikings, probably more
than the Vikings will win in my lifetime. But the
Denver Broncos also went through ten years, the last ten

(35:44):
years or nine years whatever it was, since Peyton Manning.
Where they drafted I don't know. Did they draft three
quarterbacks in the first round? Certainly two that ended up
failing and getting them nowhere. And they're winning four and
five games every year year. And that's the kind of
thing that the Vikings don't go through. And I don't

(36:07):
think we're going to go through that after this year again.
But you know it's not as bad as it could be.
Hang on, have some faith. We're Vikings fans. What does
it say in the opening at us Bank Stadium, We're
not barbarians, We're Biking.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
The couple of people of Koa just caught a stray.
Do you do you find yourself frequently rooting against the
likes of Dave Logan and or Ralford Williams.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
I'll tell you when I left the Broncos ten years
ago after the twenty fifteen Super Bowl winning season, the
Viking or the Broncos had been run by a board
of directors because one of the greatest owners in the NFL,
Pat Bowlin, had become ill and I think had even

(37:03):
passed away by that point, and so he wasn't running
the team on a day to day basis for about
ten years, and there was a board of directors that
was and it was the most unorganized, horribly run sports
franchise that I had ever been a part of. They
were a dumpster fire. Now over the last four years

(37:24):
with the new ownership, everyone that started that dumpster fire
and kept the fire burning for an entire decade is
now long gone out of the organization and I had
personal relationship type problems with a lot of those people.
So I was very happy to leave the Broncos when
I did and come to the Vikings. But now the

(37:45):
ownership is back, the team is back. Obviously the coach,
I wish that guy wasn't there. But I am very
happy for Broncos fans that they are back in the
winning ways because it really is an a sports done.
It's one of the best outdoor stadiums, the loudest outdoor
stadiums to go to when they get rocking, and they're winning.

(38:09):
So nothing but thumbs up and love for all of
the Bronco fans. But maybe in the end, I hope
there might be ultimate disappointment.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday. Safe travels
and God bless you and your family. We'll talk soon.

Speaker 6 (38:25):
Box all right, thank you, Pa, Happy holidays.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
School Bikes, Alan Roach at Mile High Roach via x
He's the box of all boxeses ever to Vox.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
What play are your speed put up?

Speaker 3 (38:42):
It's News in Nord brought to you by the Casino,
not a casino, The Casino at Canterbury Parkcanterbury Park dot
Com and you're feeling the felt all year long, and
maybe you're feeling the fur this time of year. Thank
you because of the Christmas trees on display and for
sale right now on the Canterbury Lot. Here's what I

(39:02):
got my intel and you can fill me in filling
the blanks if I miss something.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'd like to but I'm still awaiting an email response
with some tree intel.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
But anyway, continue I.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Have several different varieties of trees on sale now at
Canterbury Park. Christmas trees sizes from five feet up to
nine feet. They have a Santa's trolley where kids can
decorate horseshoes and write letters to Santa, which is sweet.
There's a fire pit hopefully a safe distance from said trees,

(39:33):
and I assume it is hot chocolate.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
And here's what I mouse texted me this. It's the
bobber hats hats.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Well, when the bobber hats were created, I have one somewhere, mouse,
I need another one. I have six. Oh, so I
think tomorrow that I can give you two. At one
point they were ten dollars. Twins would love them. And
then I know three boxes were shipped maybe to Taiwan
or somewhere in Asia, but there still are some left

(40:06):
adjacent to wildfire in a certain Plymouth garage. But I
bet you can get them at a real cut rate.
But hold on here, seriously, you.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Know there's somebody in Guangdong right now wearing like a
misprinted bobber hatand Gangdong it sounds like a corner. Sounds
like a corner for the Washington Commanders next to iggspnogany. Okay,
so seriously, Canterbury Park dot com. Yeah, the trees are great. Yeah,
they're unbelievable. They're freshly cut trees. Once again, what were

(40:34):
those sizes again? They rained from five feet to nine
feet yep, and several different varieties of Christmas tree as well.
I mentioned Santa's trolley, So we got kids decorating horseshoes
and writing letters to Santa, which is sweet. So again, Canterbury,
you need to understand this part of its ethos. It's
the basic pillar of Canterbury's family. And so you're going

(40:55):
there to get a tree. Kids are going there to play.
Great Chad, why don't you try and sneak in, find
a little schnops for that hot chocolate and maybe run
a quick fifty on the felt playing a little three
card poker five dollars black jack. That's up to you.
But but it's all at Canterbury. It's super sweet. Whether
or not the bobber hats are available. Just look for
Johnny the Mouse Michelson standing atop why wildfire with winter tires.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I'm moving so c to eleven oh sevens or we're good?
All right, sweet so again Canterbury Park dot com. But
the Christmas trees are there, they're available and have a
blast down in chocopy.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
The Minnesota Timberwolves, well, it took more than some may
have expected to get by the three win pels last
night in Nola. But but they didn't. They were having
a blast of their own to get it on.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Here's Randall spins inside plump thing.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
He'll rise and finish at the cop four straight Julius
Randall points So the Wolseley one thirty two tears off
the Rispers, Rudy circles back out. What happens up top
to fleck that has stolet by Dante dived chet. Here's
Edwards win numbers look into attack base drives. Bye, you've
got the layup hey.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
That courtesy Alan Horton your voice in the Minnesota Timberwolves
are your home for the Minnesota Timberwolves. One for nine,
two in overtime, forty four points from Anthony Edwards. Now
six consecutive games with thirty plus. He's like thirty plus, man,
I'm going to start a streak with forty plus with
the way he's rolling right now. The Timberwolves just tightly

(42:26):
tidally in sixth place in the West as of this moment,
seven and a half games back from the one lost
thunder they eked by the Dubs last night. But the
Minnesota Timberwolves, it's kind of a double feature. This would
have been a cool trip to head down to New
Orleans watch a couple of games Wolves at the Pels.
But tomorrow night you'll see them again seven pm. And

(42:46):
again you'll get to hear Wolf's hoops on your free
iHeartRadio app and podcast later as well, Chris Finch joining
the show to opened nine to noon and to the
Minnesota wild Now Jonas Brodein gets the goal, but I
think really the story of the game is this guy
hands and.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
A pressure bouchhard It's lifted along McDavid lest circle goal,
light pass open it from put a skate save by
vall Stead with his right pad comes to the point
Booche short to drive and ball Set fought that off
as well.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
How he made that save is beyond me.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Beyond me. Here's more from yes, Perry Saddle the other
way leaves it.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
Back though ge Hopkins a shop walker save, ball Set
fighting it off at.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Into the netting. Come and relaxed. That's what Ball said,
is right now.

Speaker 8 (43:29):
Yes, sir, yesper Valstet with the thirty two save shutout
Wild now eighth to two in their last ten might
be ten to oh to two and their last twelve.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
I don't have that in front of me. I do
have that they have thirty five points in there. They
are squarely. They got a six point seven point advantage
in terms of the third spot in the Central. The
toughest thing right now, Pa, is that you know, kind
of the usual suspects Wild hot as fire right now,
melting the ice as they skate along it. The two

(44:02):
other hottest teams in the NHL just happened to be
the Stars and the Colorado Avalanche, who they are currently
still staring up at in the Central Division standings. Next up,
why not just go to Edmonton get the one nothing
win and shutting out fourth shot out of the year
for Volstet. Let's just go to Calgary or a heat
check against the Flames and then we can go to

(44:24):
the Coup, get a w then go to Seattle and
tackle the Kraken and then the true heat check next Thursday,
PA Dallas Stars in town.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
So why don't we just go?

Speaker 3 (44:33):
That would put us at what thirteenho to two in
our last fifteen YEP to come home to Grand Casino
Arena on a Thursday night next week and handle the Stars.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
What a beautiful run this team is on right now. Discussable.
Let's play hooky.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
It's a whole four game Western Canada, Pacific Northwest Roady

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
