Speaker 1 (00:02):
The heat is on as a timberlves get ready to
battle with Miami this Tuesday, tip off seven pm. Catch
every shot, every dunk, every jaw dropping play this season
on the timberlves iHeartRadio channel.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So we rather intriguing texts have come our way in
the last several minutes. This is the Bumper Bumper program
on the Worldwide Cafe and Leader and Guards. He is
in ann Arbor today, go for women's basketball. That's his
number one duty this afternoon. I'm assuming he's back tomorrow.
(00:44):
I'm not sure. Do we think he's back tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You left your lunch you're looking for your lunchbox. Yeah,
I figured. I wondered that it's prominent. I mean, that's
not something you're going to lose. So I kinda I
but then I said, well maybe you don't need it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's a little small. Yeah, it's uh, I'm afraid I would.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's it's I mean it's it's it's handsome, it's a
nice looking you know it's Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is that is that the brand?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I tend to leave something everywhere?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It is you are.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's remarkable you've left wallet keys well.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Even more recently, Saturday got out of the rental car.
We took a little vacation and I left my valuables pouch.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
In the car in the rental that's the worst feel.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
And there's not much value of value in it because
I at least I had my ID in my pocket,
because then I can't get back if you don't have
a driver's license. There was cash in it, not a lot,
but enough where it's like so it was not recovered.
I didn't even bother your budget rental car. Maybe it's
just I don't trust human nature. Your budget rental car.
(01:52):
Now you go through it, you find a valuables pouch
open and go a little over one hundred bucks in here.
How can I prove that? You know? If I call
him up and say I never saw it, now, maybe
he would have turned it in. Maybe I should have
a better believer for my fellow man.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It is turned right now that it's sitting there in
a spot where they turned that stuff in, and it
would have been such a heartwarming moment for you.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
But on another trip, I had some I had a headset, yeah,
that I left in the airplane pouch.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Remember they tell you to check.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I don't listen to you know, are you one of
those guys who don't listen to the announcements. I don't
need the announcements. I've flown enough. Well, I should have listened.
Please check the pouch in front of you. Today's Oh
so I left it in there. I called Delta. Anybody
find it? Nope, couldn't find it, sir, well either. I
don't think cleaning people. I just think the next person
that got on board said, hey, hey, these look like
(02:41):
some pretty nice heads phones because they were pretty good, sony,
No they were Oh no, they were actually beats, bowsand.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Bowers and willows. Those are good. Those aren't starters. They're
b and w They those aren't starters at all. I
hadn't anymore, not anymore. So I lose something all the time.
Here's the other thing I did.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I shouldn't even admit this on a one hundred thousand
moth radio. I tell my boys, I say, well, we're gone,
I'm gonna take my car key and I'm gonna hide
it in the house. If anybody breaks in, they can't
find my car key and steelm my coming. No one's
going to break in, right. I got home and couldn't
remember where I put my car that's so good. And
see that I that could happen to me. I looked
(03:24):
all day yesterday or Friday, when we got back Saturday night,
looked look for two hours Saturday night, then I Sunday morning,
and you were I finally found it. This is how
bad we have a little secretary's desks there. You don't
tell everybody because then well here's what well, I will
never hide it thevery Okay, you're a scented candle guy. Yeah,
so it's a scented candle with a cover on the top.
(03:44):
I had taken the key fob in there and I
didn't even remember, and all of a sudden, I'm walking
by and I just.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Went, wait a minute, was that it?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And I opened there there was, you know, and that
that I didn't actually lose that I misplaced that I
put it in the spot. But I lose something and
or forget whatever. That's what I did here, got my
car and staid it where's.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
My well is it?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Do you think that's a function of age or do
you think you were just as capable of doing that
at the age of twenty two?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, okay, forever I.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Always misplaced something, loose something, So maybe.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I should call budget.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I just think, think of the heartwarming feeling in your
gut if they say to you serious a matter of fact, yes,
I mean, if you can identify the you gotta. I'm
sure they'll ask you identify the pouch. But whatever it was,
so and if you can, you sit there and you
end up with the.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
We've packed in the hotel. I got up early.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I'm packed ahead of time before everybody else packed earlier
than I. All of a sudden, I go, I cant
fell a little leather. If you've seen my little other
thing with I got a little leather like I don't
want to recall it like it's like a wallet, but
it's big enough for three.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Credit cards, card case. I think they call the business.
Yeah right, so I go, where's my card case?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I go?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
I bet I packed in the suitcase and the pants
I wore at the restaurant last day.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So even after packing, I had to unpack.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Everything in the suit kidding me, was that where they were?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well no, no, here's what my voice says.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Did you check your back pocket? I go, it is
it in my back pocket? And all of a sudden
I checked my front pocket. It was in their pocket.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The whole time.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
So I was it was in my front pocket of
the pants I was wearing, but I didn't check there.
And I mean my entire suitcase a partner to repainting the.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Purpose of of of getting it packing down ahead of time.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
That's man, that's well, at least you're at least you're honestly.
And here's what I think. I think it's not so
much a function of age. It's a whole multi colored
galaxy of uppers and downers and screamers and laughers.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It's it's my hate.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ashbury coming back in a sense.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It could be part of my brain.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just so certain things, certain like nerve endings got burnt
out exactly that had some you know, some impact. So
it just leaves you a little bit lacking in that area.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Is it called your mendula?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Upglotta?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
At least if you went missing, there would be a
trail of various personal items that we could follow to
get down.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Sort of like the Goldielocks, who was the one that
left the little hanceling.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Gretel hanceling Gretel. Yeah, I don't think anybody. I think
I was more of a Gretel, But I'm not even
sure it's been I don't even know. I don't think
anybody even knows what we're talking about right now. Well,
if you weren't a fairy tale person, you wouldn't. Yeah,
I think I don't think anybody those I mean, I'm
sure they're out of they're they're not popular any longer.
(06:35):
They might not be politically correct.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Maybe a lot of messages that were sent that were
subliminally sexists, you know, right exactly?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So do you remember that?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Do you remember? Do you remember the children's brook stone soup?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Three soldiers come to town.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
They they had one item to cook, and oh, if
we only had something else, we could make stone. So
then the townspeople saying, why got a carrot? Somebody else
had this? And basically it was it was it was propagating,
is that the right word? A socialistic socide? Okay, which
I didn't know because I'm five years old. What they
were saying is everybody, share something, don't keep the carrot
(07:17):
to yourself, share.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
With Like the new mayor of New York City, he
would love that story. Yes, he would say, stone is perfect,
exactly stones. Yeah, that's it they're always trying to mess
with our minds.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Why is they are well and here that they're doing
it when you're at a really young age, when you
don't have.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Any idea, you just think it's a cool little story
and turns out it's to try to Yeah, Doue and I.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Say it all the time when they show the crowd
shots like the Bears game, there's like eight year old
kid with his Bears gear, and we just he's been
brainwashed already. His parents are introducing him to a lifetime
of misery regardless of the team.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
It's just like, why did you do that to your child?
Why are you making him watch pro football and go
to games and get exect?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
His heart's going to get broken.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Do you think part of this is you could argue
to bring it to the current time as opposed to
the time that we tend to live in. You and me,
that your neurological pathways got disconnected somewhere along the road.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That's what this is all. I think.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I think, I think I think Texters got it right.
I think that's path.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, that's mean, Well, why you even hear this late?
Looking for my launch path all this time? Well, I
was talking to salespean okay, sales, trying to trying to
find money, did you any lie? Yeah, well it's early
in the year, it's only January. Usually things kind of
build up because the time.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What you is it controversial?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well, it is because I've got a lot of people
who believe I never played the game and I don't
understand emotion, and yeah, JJ, maybe they got a little
bit better of it the other you know, I got
the he got a little out of control with how
he reacted and what's wrong, a little emotion and I
didn't even think it was emotion that his teammates, particularly
(08:59):
rallied to. I think, to me, that's one of those
he just wins and you go, oh god, please.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
But when he was doing the apology, it didn't look
like many of the players were like, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
They were look at him and look away.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well, I haven't actually think I see everyone. So I
get a text that I think confirms one of my
concerns about him. And there are times he may end
up being an all time great. And by the way,
I'm not ready to give up on it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm not either.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't think I think that'd be foolish. But I
worry that he's one of those quarterbacks who likes the
idea of the persona of being the quarterback more than
actually doing day to day the things that make you
a good quarterback, you know what I mean, Like a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Like you know nine, he's not nine.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He's got the and the way this guy puts he's
caught up in the juvenile backyard theatrics of football more
than he is playing the game, just trying to conduct
himself as an adult professional, and I think he's I
think someone's given him the wrong idea. Like son, if
you show that kind of feistiness, people are gonna love that,
And I'm gonna tell you they might love it at
the beginning, but it ain't gonna last.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What they're gonna love is.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
In the the prime, you know, in the heat of battle,
just coolly, calmly making the right read, the right throw,
over and over again. That's what they're gonna care about
more than the other because the other stuff, you can say,
we rally around it is its emotion and it's a
good thing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
They'll get tired of that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
If you can't make the plays, that's what's being the
quarterback is not sort of assuming this role that you
have been led to believe is what it's about. If
you want to make it to the top level. The
one thing then I think may work in the service.
You would hope that's something that's just a bad decision.
You're where the coach can go, don't do that again,
(10:47):
and maybe he'll learn. I don't know if teaching the
mechanics and the intricacies of the game is quite as easy.
I can't have one thing you can correct if he's
act does do it. But you're right, nobody liked that.
I mean again, the game was meaningless, but they had
a nice drive going and that just basically snuffed out
the stuff out.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It wasn't it wasn't impressive. You gotta go. I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I got because I this is Ben Lieber's hour and
I gotta get see liber I think you we and
I talked about this before the show. It sounds like
liber was a little bit frustrated that he pulled himself
with JJ pulling h stuff out of the game, and
I want to I want to get back into that
issue with him because I respect him. He's a good
commentator and he's a former player, and there's that question
(11:29):
that we both talked about. It's like, well, but if
he literally can't throw, is he hurting the team?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes? If he does that, that's to me where it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
So I'll ask because I know that, especially in football,
supposed to be like yourself, like Wentz, if you can
football and hockey, Yeah, if you can walk on upright,
then you've got to go on and play no matter
how bad it is. And yeah, I guess, but you know,
like Tennebe was saying, the guy that and maybe should
ask liber about this is Darisaw.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
He's on his own self imposed pitch couch.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Sometimes he plays, sometimes he practices.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, I agree back, and he was in.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
And out of the lineup a lot this now maybe
legitimately so because when you're coming back from major reconstructor
knee surgery but pulling yourself out of the game because
your hand you can't squeeze a football to throw it. Er,
Darrisaw was like that all year. So you know, I
had maybe Darris more QUI I think there's some truth
to that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was looking for the text though, Oh so I
don't know did you hear about this?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Because we're late but regarding B flow.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Because Johnny Athletic, he kind of threw out some stuff
that got people's attention that maybe there's more to the
B flow thing than just he wants to be a
head coach about the possibility of him leaving. So this
is apparently Bursuch was on with PA this morning. This
is what the texture guy writes, piecing team things together.
(12:51):
Maybe Bursuch was onto something the PA this morning when
he used an example of how meetings could get contentious
when coaches don't stay in their lane. The example was
a coach saying if they only had more turnovers, things
would look different.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Perhaps this was more than an example.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Ask Pete now, he may be putting two and two
together and coming up with six.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I don't know. He may be assuming some things.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I have no idea, but I keep getting this vibe
from people that there's a little more there than just
that he wants to be a head coach about the
possibility of why he hasn't already signed an extension.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Maybe this will all go away tomorrow and they'll announce it.
And so, because I do think it would be a
pretty massive loss to this team if he goes someplace
else to be an assistant, to be a coordinator, and
don't they have to let them because isn't that considered
a lateral move?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And I think his contract does expired. Oh that's true.
You're right, he's yeah, and he could technically walk down. I
will admit I always thought, yeah, coordinators are important, but
you know what, they don't make that.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Big of a deal.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
But I the Ben Johnson moved from Detroit over to
over to Chicago. Detroit was a first place team last night,
fifteen to two with an explosive offense, they go to
last place. The Bears were a last place team and
went to first place. Other than personnel changes and andreies change,
it was.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It's of coordinator went there.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
So yeah, bflow goes he's that probably wouldn't change the
uh the while this defense play.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Look around, be sure there's you got keys, check your keys,
got wallet check, you got your glasses, you're wearing them. Yep,
that part's good. You got your phone and there's really
that's nothing else that you and I got my pants
and you got your pants and there that's that's also
I knew. So one of us is going to say
thank you, thank you, Super show the best kind, just
(14:34):
out of nowhere back in just a minute here in.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
The fast.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And it's an endless array of u of text coming in,
one of them mentioning that there's breaking news regarding the
government the great state of Minnesota, which we did not miss.
We are aware of that story, which I think there
were some There was some speculation last night that that's
why he had called ah a press conference or I
(15:12):
don't even know if you I don't know if he
actually took questions. I think it was more he made
an announcement that he is, indeed he being Governor Wallas,
is not running for a third term as he had
originally intended to do. Kessler is going to join us
in about an hour in studio on that particular subject.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He is scheduled for five thirty.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And there's so much else to get to and we'll
certainly at court over the course of the week. Tried
to get to some international stuff as well with our
guy Michael Hurley. A number of texts just came in
regarding the impromptu super show. This comes from looks like
(15:58):
four to six guy, Yeah, four oh six. Will you
look up ery code four oh six. I think, on
the basis of his text, I know where that might be.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I've got it in Montana.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, that's it. Here's what he writes. It's always so
amazing when Super Show comes together. I told my wife
the other day that I didn't know what I was
gonna do with when Brero, Common and Pa retire, because
they've been the vocal backdrop of the last twenty some
years of my life. I'm now building a house on
a mountain side in Montana. An iHeart Radio app is
keeping me connected to those voices. Let's have some more
(16:32):
Super Show in the future. Thanks for the memories, Dan,
We love you. Very sweet text, much appreciated, and we
get I think another testimonial to the versatility and greatness
of the iHeart and simplicity of the iHeartRadio app. And
(16:52):
when I say simple, I mean that in a way
where I'm I'm denigrating myself. I think through guards you.
I don't exactly know how it got set up. I
ended up getting like a five minute opportunity on News
Nation one of their shows today. They wanted a kind
(17:13):
of a local reaction regarding the Walls story, and they
you know, it's TV, so everything's got to be visual
now when possible. So the idea was that, you know,
I got a text from the producer with a link
and he said, just click on the link and then
you'll be connected to us, and then we'll have we'll
(17:34):
get things going. And I'm thinking, well, even I might,
you know, I might be capable of pulling that off.
So I patiently wait for when I'm supposed to be
on about four to twenty I should say three no,
I should be back up two twenty three, twenty eastern.
And so he said, just do the link about two
(17:54):
ten your time and we should be good. So I
hit two ten right on the money. I'm right, I'm
gonna you know, I want to be I want to,
you know, follow their directions. And at two ten it
asks it says, you will you can't do this link
because you have not downloaded the I don't know is
(18:15):
it meetings app Zoom, one of them that I didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Have on my my iPad.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So then I think, well, okay, I'll just download the app,
but then it starts asking me for passwords that I've
long forgotten that I can't remember. It says, well, if
you can't remember, it here's.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
What we'll do.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Uh, well, we'll direct you. We'll give you your phone
a code. But then after I put that code in,
then it's then it asked for another code that was
internally in my phone relate different than the regular code.
So by the end of this is I've got to
text the guy either now minutes away from this thing
they've set up, they got a tight schedule, and I'm
going I've I've blown this. It's not going to work.
(18:52):
I can't get this thing to work. So probably not
their first rodeo. So the produce says, all right, well,
can you use your phone.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Instead? And I said, what is that? Can you do that?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
He goes, well i't in a pinch, Yeah, well you know,
we'll do it. So he sent me the link there
and the first time again, I don't even think I
knew what I was doing.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I think I blundered into.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Finally getting it to where they could see me and
I could see them, and then I had to like
find the right Then they asked me to raise the
phone a little higher, so we ended up getting it done.
It was a nice discussion with the host.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But that's when I when I say easy, even I
can figure out the iHeart Radio app. It's not you know,
it's not as as hard as what I had to
do on this occasion, because anything that I'm not ready for,
I'd said I was going to text you. As it
turns out I didn't need you. But there's nothing to
the iHeart Radio app. It's free, it's easily downloadable. I
(19:54):
don't remember like having to put in any password when
I downloaded the app at all. And it's available to
you anywhere. So if you're building that sounds nice, by
the way, building a house on a mountain side in Montana,
that's not a bad gig. If you can get it right.
You have complete access to your hometown station. And you know,
(20:14):
again you got to remember, I'm a kid who had
to spend three lost years in Chattanooga, Tennessee when I
was like twelve years old, and I was a huge
sports Chicago sports groupe, and I had no opportunity.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You know, the opportunity I had to listen to Chicago teams.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Maybe at like ten o'clock at night, I might be
able to get WGN radio and they would go the
sigle would fade in and out with the wind or
whatever causes the thing to fade in or out.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That was it. I mean, I think about.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Little Danny Barrero having an iHeartRadio app to plug into
all my favorite shows back in Chicago, teams, whatever you
kidding me? So I'm glad that's worked out for four
oh six. Guy, I'm glad he enjoyed super show. And
if you have not, this should be as good an
(21:11):
advertisement as you can get for the free, free, free
and always improving iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Back in a minute.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Every game is a big game when it's Wild hockey.
You can feel the intensity and excitement at Grand Casino
Arena this season. You can get your tickets today wild
dot com slash tickets, Wild dot com slash tickets.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
All right.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
A short segment leading into a conversation with Ben leeber Bonus.
Pat Kessler is scheduled to adjoin. He will join in
studio now, Bonus. As we said, for all the obvious
reasons at five thirty, this very evening, five thirty tonight,
(22:12):
where was I We've already done the single Vikings talking
point off of this game. It's really been a discussion
point throughout the show. Do you are Nacho feel that
we as a fan base have a victim mentality everyone
Beman's not having Darnold this year? How do you think
(22:33):
the Jets feel they spent a top draft pick on him.
We clamor and demand a young high draft pick quarterback,
then lack any patience to sit and to watch them
develop demanding instant results. Is the lack of a Super
Bowl contribute to this? I think that's Carl from Lake Elmo.
I'll try to describe it this way, Carl, because we've
talked about this several times on this show over the
course of this season. If the Vikings, if the average
(22:58):
Vikings fan is impatient, I think that was an inevitable
outcome to what has played out here for this franchise
over the course of the last now two seasons. Ordinarily,
when the young high draft pick quarterback comes in, the
(23:20):
team is coming off of three and fourteen season, and
the assumption is the team itself is not close to competing. Therefore,
it becomes easier, I think, to accept the highs and
the discernible lows. What was utterly unfair to McCarthy, but
what was the reality of the situation because the Vikings
(23:43):
chose to go down this road, is that the Vikings
are coming off a fourteen to three season. It did
not end very well in the postseason, but there was
still a belief that there was a core of players
here and an opportunity, especially when you factored in the
number of players they added in free agency, to make
this thing work again this season, and I think implicitly
(24:05):
convey to your fan base the message that maybe the
normal rules regarding young quarterbacks won't apply here because of
all the talent we've surrounded him with. That was certainly
what koc was on record is saying, and I think
it's not surprising that the fans start believing it. And
(24:29):
that's why I don't blame those who are impatient. Because
the Vikings themselves made a bet and they lost the
bet for this season. Doesn't mean long term they've lost
a bet for McCarthy, but they've lost the bet for
this season. So I don't think it's an unwillingness to
be patient about a young quarterback. It's the combo platter
(24:53):
of a team coming off last year with that good
of record and the unusual nature of your options that
you chose to ignore that included bringing back Sam Donald
long term probably not practical or franchise more practical, or
(25:15):
Daniel Jones, as we talked about yesterday, or Aaron Rodgers.
Sam Donald is not only in the playoffs. He won
the game that he didn't win a year ago. Now
you could say it mainly because of a very good defense,
but he won it. So he did exactly what he
(25:37):
couldn't do for the Vikings a year ago, and they
are the number one seed Seattle.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
On the NFC.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Side, Aaron Rodgers advanced to the playoffs with a virtuoso
performance last night in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Now you could say, if the kickers take care of business,
it's a different story, but the fact is they didn't.
He was terrific, probably the best he's played all season.
I think you right through for two hundred and seventy
five yards, we could have had him. Daniel Jones ends
up getting hurt, but was off to a very good
start before he ended up suffering the Achilles injury. So
(26:16):
all those are I think why it's a little more
complicated than saying, well, man, what's with this fan base?
Why can't we let this thing play out? Those are
all the reasons that in you know, after a season
that has led to these results, it may not be
quite that easier. Why it's I guess it's a little
bit more on the complicated side. We'll find out what
(26:37):
Lieber has to say about the McCarthy decision to pull
himself from the game, and maybe even some other issues. Bflow.
Is he automatically back? Is he worried about that? Any
questions for Nacho Rat Shawn Brian Kafan text line is
wide open at six four six.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It's
The heat is on as a timberlves get ready to
battle with Miami this Tuesday, tip off seven pm. Catch
every shot, every dunk, every jaw dropping play this season
on the timberlves iHeartRadio channel.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So we rather intriguing texts have come our way in
the last several minutes. This is the Bumper Bumper program
on the Worldwide Cafe and Leader and Guards. He is
in ann Arbor today, go for women's basketball. That's his
number one duty this afternoon. I'm assuming he's back tomorrow.
(00:44):
I'm not sure. Do we think he's back tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
That's my understanding.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
You left your lunch you're looking for your lunchbox. Yeah,
I figured. I wondered that it's prominent. I mean, that's
not something you're going to lose. So I kinda I
but then I said, well maybe you don't need it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's a little small. Yeah, it's uh, I'm afraid I would.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's it's I mean it's it's it's handsome, it's a
nice looking you know it's Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is that is that the brand?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I tend to leave something everywhere?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It is you are.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's remarkable you've left wallet keys well.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Even more recently, Saturday got out of the rental car.
We took a little vacation and I left my valuables pouch.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
In the car in the rental that's the worst feel.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
And there's not much value of value in it because
I at least I had my ID in my pocket,
because then I can't get back if you don't have
a driver's license. There was cash in it, not a lot,
but enough where it's like so it was not recovered.
I didn't even bother your budget rental car. Maybe it's
just I don't trust human nature. Your budget rental car.
(01:52):
Now you go through it, you find a valuables pouch
open and go a little over one hundred bucks in here.
How can I prove that? You know? If I call
him up and say I never saw it, now, maybe
he would have turned it in. Maybe I should have
a better believer for my fellow man.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It is turned right now that it's sitting there in
a spot where they turned that stuff in, and it
would have been such a heartwarming moment for you.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
But on another trip, I had some I had a headset, yeah,
that I left in the airplane pouch.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Remember they tell you to check.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I don't listen to you know, are you one of
those guys who don't listen to the announcements. I don't
need the announcements. I've flown enough. Well, I should have listened.
Please check the pouch in front of you. Today's Oh
so I left it in there. I called Delta. Anybody
find it? Nope, couldn't find it, sir, well either. I
don't think cleaning people. I just think the next person
that got on board said, hey, hey, these look like
(02:41):
some pretty nice heads phones because they were pretty good, sony,
No they were Oh no, they were actually beats, bowsand.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Bowers and willows. Those are good. Those aren't starters. They're
b and w They those aren't starters at all. I
hadn't anymore, not anymore. So I lose something all the time.
Here's the other thing I did.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I shouldn't even admit this on a one hundred thousand
moth radio. I tell my boys, I say, well, we're gone,
I'm gonna take my car key and I'm gonna hide
it in the house. If anybody breaks in, they can't
find my car key and steelm my coming. No one's
going to break in, right. I got home and couldn't
remember where I put my car that's so good. And
see that I that could happen to me. I looked
(03:24):
all day yesterday or Friday, when we got back Saturday night,
looked look for two hours Saturday night, then I Sunday morning,
and you were I finally found it. This is how
bad we have a little secretary's desks there. You don't
tell everybody because then well here's what well, I will
never hide it thevery Okay, you're a scented candle guy. Yeah,
so it's a scented candle with a cover on the top.
(03:44):
I had taken the key fob in there and I
didn't even remember, and all of a sudden, I'm walking
by and I just.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Went, wait a minute, was that it?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And I opened there there was, you know, and that
that I didn't actually lose that I misplaced that I
put it in the spot. But I lose something and
or forget whatever. That's what I did here, got my
car and staid it where's.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
My well is it?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Do you think that's a function of age or do
you think you were just as capable of doing that
at the age of twenty two?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, okay, forever I.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Always misplaced something, loose something, So maybe.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I should call budget.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I just think, think of the heartwarming feeling in your
gut if they say to you serious a matter of fact, yes,
I mean, if you can identify the you gotta. I'm
sure they'll ask you identify the pouch. But whatever it was,
so and if you can, you sit there and you
end up with the.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
We've packed in the hotel. I got up early.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I'm packed ahead of time before everybody else packed earlier
than I. All of a sudden, I go, I cant
fell a little leather. If you've seen my little other
thing with I got a little leather like I don't
want to recall it like it's like a wallet, but
it's big enough for three.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Credit cards, card case. I think they call the business.
Yeah right, so I go, where's my card case?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I go?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
I bet I packed in the suitcase and the pants
I wore at the restaurant last day.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So even after packing, I had to unpack.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Everything in the suit kidding me, was that where they were?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well no, no, here's what my voice says.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Did you check your back pocket? I go, it is
it in my back pocket? And all of a sudden
I checked my front pocket. It was in their pocket.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The whole time.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
So I was it was in my front pocket of
the pants I was wearing, but I didn't check there.
And I mean my entire suitcase a partner to repainting the.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Purpose of of of getting it packing down ahead of time.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
That's man, that's well, at least you're at least you're honestly.
And here's what I think. I think it's not so
much a function of age. It's a whole multi colored
galaxy of uppers and downers and screamers and laughers.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It's it's my hate.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ashbury coming back in a sense.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It could be part of my brain.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just so certain things, certain like nerve endings got burnt
out exactly that had some you know, some impact. So
it just leaves you a little bit lacking in that area.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Is it called your mendula?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Upglotta?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
At least if you went missing, there would be a
trail of various personal items that we could follow to
get down.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Sort of like the Goldielocks, who was the one that
left the little hanceling.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Gretel hanceling Gretel. Yeah, I don't think anybody. I think
I was more of a Gretel, But I'm not even
sure it's been I don't even know. I don't think
anybody even knows what we're talking about right now. Well,
if you weren't a fairy tale person, you wouldn't. Yeah,
I think I don't think anybody those I mean, I'm
sure they're out of they're they're not popular any longer.
(06:35):
They might not be politically correct.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Maybe a lot of messages that were sent that were
subliminally sexists, you know, right exactly?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So do you remember that?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Do you remember? Do you remember the children's brook stone soup?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Three soldiers come to town.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
They they had one item to cook, and oh, if
we only had something else, we could make stone. So
then the townspeople saying, why got a carrot? Somebody else
had this? And basically it was it was it was propagating,
is that the right word? A socialistic socide? Okay, which
I didn't know because I'm five years old. What they
were saying is everybody, share something, don't keep the carrot
(07:17):
to yourself, share.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
With Like the new mayor of New York City, he
would love that story. Yes, he would say, stone is perfect,
exactly stones. Yeah, that's it they're always trying to mess
with our minds.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Why is they are well and here that they're doing
it when you're at a really young age, when you
don't have.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Any idea, you just think it's a cool little story
and turns out it's to try to Yeah, Doue and I.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Say it all the time when they show the crowd
shots like the Bears game, there's like eight year old
kid with his Bears gear, and we just he's been
brainwashed already. His parents are introducing him to a lifetime
of misery regardless of the team.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
It's just like, why did you do that to your child?
Why are you making him watch pro football and go
to games and get exect?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
His heart's going to get broken.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Do you think part of this is you could argue
to bring it to the current time as opposed to
the time that we tend to live in. You and me,
that your neurological pathways got disconnected somewhere along the road.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That's what this is all. I think.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I think, I think I think Texters got it right.
I think that's path.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, that's mean, Well, why you even hear this late?
Looking for my launch path all this time? Well, I
was talking to salespean okay, sales, trying to trying to
find money, did you any lie? Yeah, well it's early
in the year, it's only January. Usually things kind of
build up because the time.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What you is it controversial?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well, it is because I've got a lot of people
who believe I never played the game and I don't
understand emotion, and yeah, JJ, maybe they got a little
bit better of it the other you know, I got
the he got a little out of control with how
he reacted and what's wrong, a little emotion and I
didn't even think it was emotion that his teammates, particularly
(08:59):
rallied to. I think, to me, that's one of those
he just wins and you go, oh god, please.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
But when he was doing the apology, it didn't look
like many of the players were like, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
They were look at him and look away.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well, I haven't actually think I see everyone. So I
get a text that I think confirms one of my
concerns about him. And there are times he may end
up being an all time great. And by the way,
I'm not ready to give up on it.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I'm not either.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't think I think that'd be foolish. But I
worry that he's one of those quarterbacks who likes the
idea of the persona of being the quarterback more than
actually doing day to day the things that make you
a good quarterback, you know what I mean, Like a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Like you know nine, he's not nine.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
He's got the and the way this guy puts he's
caught up in the juvenile backyard theatrics of football more
than he is playing the game, just trying to conduct
himself as an adult professional, and I think he's I
think someone's given him the wrong idea. Like son, if
you show that kind of feistiness, people are gonna love that,
And I'm gonna tell you they might love it at
the beginning, but it ain't gonna last.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What they're gonna love is.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
In the the prime, you know, in the heat of battle,
just coolly, calmly making the right read, the right throw,
over and over again. That's what they're gonna care about
more than the other because the other stuff, you can say,
we rally around it is its emotion and it's a
good thing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
They'll get tired of that.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
If you can't make the plays, that's what's being the
quarterback is not sort of assuming this role that you
have been led to believe is what it's about. If
you want to make it to the top level. The
one thing then I think may work in the service.
You would hope that's something that's just a bad decision.
You're where the coach can go, don't do that again,
(10:47):
and maybe he'll learn. I don't know if teaching the
mechanics and the intricacies of the game is quite as easy.
I can't have one thing you can correct if he's
act does do it. But you're right, nobody liked that.
I mean again, the game was meaningless, but they had
a nice drive going and that just basically snuffed out
the stuff out.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It wasn't it wasn't impressive. You gotta go. I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I got because I this is Ben Lieber's hour and
I gotta get see liber I think you we and
I talked about this before the show. It sounds like
liber was a little bit frustrated that he pulled himself
with JJ pulling h stuff out of the game, and
I want to I want to get back into that
issue with him because I respect him. He's a good
commentator and he's a former player, and there's that question
(11:29):
that we both talked about. It's like, well, but if
he literally can't throw, is he hurting the team?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes? If he does that, that's to me where it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
So I'll ask because I know that, especially in football,
supposed to be like yourself, like Wentz, if you can
football and hockey, Yeah, if you can walk on upright,
then you've got to go on and play no matter
how bad it is. And yeah, I guess, but you know,
like Tennebe was saying, the guy that and maybe should
ask liber about this is Darisaw.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
He's on his own self imposed pitch couch.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Sometimes he plays, sometimes he practices.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, I agree back, and he was in.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
And out of the lineup a lot this now maybe
legitimately so because when you're coming back from major reconstructor
knee surgery but pulling yourself out of the game because
your hand you can't squeeze a football to throw it. Er,
Darrisaw was like that all year. So you know, I
had maybe Darris more QUI I think there's some truth
to that.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was looking for the text though, Oh so I
don't know did you hear about this?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Because we're late but regarding B flow.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Because Johnny Athletic, he kind of threw out some stuff
that got people's attention that maybe there's more to the
B flow thing than just he wants to be a
head coach about the possibility of him leaving. So this
is apparently Bursuch was on with PA this morning. This
is what the texture guy writes, piecing team things together.
(12:51):
Maybe Bursuch was onto something the PA this morning when
he used an example of how meetings could get contentious
when coaches don't stay in their lane. The example was
a coach saying if they only had more turnovers, things
would look different.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Perhaps this was more than an example.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Ask Pete now, he may be putting two and two
together and coming up with six.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I don't know. He may be assuming some things.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I have no idea, but I keep getting this vibe
from people that there's a little more there than just
that he wants to be a head coach about the
possibility of why he hasn't already signed an extension.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Maybe this will all go away tomorrow and they'll announce it.
And so, because I do think it would be a
pretty massive loss to this team if he goes someplace
else to be an assistant, to be a coordinator, and
don't they have to let them because isn't that considered
a lateral move?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And I think his contract does expired. Oh that's true.
You're right, he's yeah, and he could technically walk down. I
will admit I always thought, yeah, coordinators are important, but
you know what, they don't make that.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Big of a deal.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
But I the Ben Johnson moved from Detroit over to
over to Chicago. Detroit was a first place team last night,
fifteen to two with an explosive offense, they go to
last place. The Bears were a last place team and
went to first place. Other than personnel changes and andreies change,
it was.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It's of coordinator went there.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
So yeah, bflow goes he's that probably wouldn't change the
uh the while this defense play.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Look around, be sure there's you got keys, check your keys,
got wallet check, you got your glasses, you're wearing them. Yep,
that part's good. You got your phone and there's really
that's nothing else that you and I got my pants
and you got your pants and there that's that's also
I knew. So one of us is going to say
thank you, thank you, Super show the best kind, just
(14:34):
out of nowhere back in just a minute here in.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
The fast.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And it's an endless array of u of text coming in,
one of them mentioning that there's breaking news regarding the
government the great state of Minnesota, which we did not miss.
We are aware of that story, which I think there
were some There was some speculation last night that that's
why he had called ah a press conference or I
(15:12):
don't even know if you I don't know if he
actually took questions. I think it was more he made
an announcement that he is, indeed he being Governor Wallas,
is not running for a third term as he had
originally intended to do. Kessler is going to join us
in about an hour in studio on that particular subject.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He is scheduled for five thirty.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And there's so much else to get to and we'll
certainly at court over the course of the week. Tried
to get to some international stuff as well with our
guy Michael Hurley. A number of texts just came in
regarding the impromptu super show. This comes from looks like
(15:58):
four to six guy, Yeah, four oh six. Will you
look up ery code four oh six. I think, on
the basis of his text, I know where that might be.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I've got it in Montana.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, that's it. Here's what he writes. It's always so
amazing when Super Show comes together. I told my wife
the other day that I didn't know what I was
gonna do with when Brero, Common and Pa retire, because
they've been the vocal backdrop of the last twenty some
years of my life. I'm now building a house on
a mountain side in Montana. An iHeart Radio app is
keeping me connected to those voices. Let's have some more
(16:32):
Super Show in the future. Thanks for the memories, Dan,
We love you. Very sweet text, much appreciated, and we
get I think another testimonial to the versatility and greatness
of the iHeart and simplicity of the iHeartRadio app. And
(16:52):
when I say simple, I mean that in a way
where I'm I'm denigrating myself. I think through guards you.
I don't exactly know how it got set up. I
ended up getting like a five minute opportunity on News
Nation one of their shows today. They wanted a kind
(17:13):
of a local reaction regarding the Walls story, and they
you know, it's TV, so everything's got to be visual
now when possible. So the idea was that, you know,
I got a text from the producer with a link
and he said, just click on the link and then
you'll be connected to us, and then we'll have we'll
(17:34):
get things going. And I'm thinking, well, even I might,
you know, I might be capable of pulling that off.
So I patiently wait for when I'm supposed to be
on about four to twenty I should say three no,
I should be back up two twenty three, twenty eastern.
And so he said, just do the link about two
(17:54):
ten your time and we should be good. So I
hit two ten right on the money. I'm right, I'm
gonna you know, I want to be I want to,
you know, follow their directions. And at two ten it
asks it says, you will you can't do this link
because you have not downloaded the I don't know is
(18:15):
it meetings app Zoom, one of them that I didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Have on my my iPad.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So then I think, well, okay, I'll just download the app,
but then it starts asking me for passwords that I've
long forgotten that I can't remember. It says, well, if
you can't remember, it here's.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
What we'll do.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Uh, well, we'll direct you. We'll give you your phone
a code. But then after I put that code in,
then it's then it asked for another code that was
internally in my phone relate different than the regular code.
So by the end of this is I've got to
text the guy either now minutes away from this thing
they've set up, they got a tight schedule, and I'm
going I've I've blown this. It's not going to work.
(18:52):
I can't get this thing to work. So probably not
their first rodeo. So the produce says, all right, well,
can you use your phone.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Instead? And I said, what is that? Can you do that?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
He goes, well i't in a pinch, Yeah, well you know,
we'll do it. So he sent me the link there
and the first time again, I don't even think I
knew what I was doing.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I think I blundered into.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Finally getting it to where they could see me and
I could see them, and then I had to like
find the right Then they asked me to raise the
phone a little higher, so we ended up getting it done.
It was a nice discussion with the host.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But that's when I when I say easy, even I
can figure out the iHeart Radio app. It's not you know,
it's not as as hard as what I had to
do on this occasion, because anything that I'm not ready for,
I'd said I was going to text you. As it
turns out I didn't need you. But there's nothing to
the iHeart Radio app. It's free, it's easily downloadable. I
(19:54):
don't remember like having to put in any password when
I downloaded the app at all. And it's available to
you anywhere. So if you're building that sounds nice, by
the way, building a house on a mountain side in Montana,
that's not a bad gig. If you can get it right.
You have complete access to your hometown station. And you know,
(20:14):
again you got to remember, I'm a kid who had
to spend three lost years in Chattanooga, Tennessee when I
was like twelve years old, and I was a huge
sports Chicago sports groupe, and I had no opportunity.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You know, the opportunity I had to listen to Chicago teams.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Maybe at like ten o'clock at night, I might be
able to get WGN radio and they would go the
sigle would fade in and out with the wind or
whatever causes the thing to fade in or out.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That was it. I mean, I think about.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Little Danny Barrero having an iHeartRadio app to plug into
all my favorite shows back in Chicago, teams, whatever you
kidding me? So I'm glad that's worked out for four
oh six. Guy, I'm glad he enjoyed super show. And
if you have not, this should be as good an
(21:11):
advertisement as you can get for the free, free, free
and always improving iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
A short segment leading into a conversation with Ben leeber Bonus.
Pat Kessler is scheduled to adjoin. He will join in
studio now, Bonus. As we said, for all the obvious
reasons at five thirty, this very evening, five thirty tonight,
(22:12):
where was I We've already done the single Vikings talking
point off of this game. It's really been a discussion
point throughout the show. Do you are Nacho feel that
we as a fan base have a victim mentality everyone
Beman's not having Darnold this year? How do you think
(22:33):
the Jets feel they spent a top draft pick on him.
We clamor and demand a young high draft pick quarterback,
then lack any patience to sit and to watch them
develop demanding instant results. Is the lack of a Super
Bowl contribute to this? I think that's Carl from Lake Elmo.
I'll try to describe it this way, Carl, because we've
talked about this several times on this show over the
course of this season. If the Vikings, if the average
(22:58):
Vikings fan is impatient, I think that was an inevitable
outcome to what has played out here for this franchise
over the course of the last now two seasons. Ordinarily,
when the young high draft pick quarterback comes in, the
(23:20):
team is coming off of three and fourteen season, and
the assumption is the team itself is not close to competing. Therefore,
it becomes easier, I think, to accept the highs and
the discernible lows. What was utterly unfair to McCarthy, but
what was the reality of the situation because the Vikings
(23:43):
chose to go down this road, is that the Vikings
are coming off a fourteen to three season. It did
not end very well in the postseason, but there was
still a belief that there was a core of players
here and an opportunity, especially when you factored in the
number of players they added in free agency, to make
this thing work again this season, and I think implicitly
(24:05):
convey to your fan base the message that maybe the
normal rules regarding young quarterbacks won't apply here because of
all the talent we've surrounded him with. That was certainly
what koc was on record is saying, and I think
it's not surprising that the fans start believing it. And
(24:29):
that's why I don't blame those who are impatient. Because
the Vikings themselves made a bet and they lost the
bet for this season. Doesn't mean long term they've lost
a bet for McCarthy, but they've lost the bet for
this season. So I don't think it's an unwillingness to
be patient about a young quarterback. It's the combo platter
(24:53):
of a team coming off last year with that good
of record and the unusual nature of your options that
you chose to ignore that included bringing back Sam Donald
long term probably not practical or franchise more practical, or
(25:15):
Daniel Jones, as we talked about yesterday, or Aaron Rodgers.
Sam Donald is not only in the playoffs. He won
the game that he didn't win a year ago. Now
you could say it mainly because of a very good defense,
but he won it. So he did exactly what he
(25:37):
couldn't do for the Vikings a year ago, and they
are the number one seed Seattle.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
On the NFC.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Side, Aaron Rodgers advanced to the playoffs with a virtuoso
performance last night in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Now you could say, if the kickers take care of business,
it's a different story, but the fact is they didn't.
He was terrific, probably the best he's played all season.
I think you right through for two hundred and seventy
five yards, we could have had him. Daniel Jones ends
up getting hurt, but was off to a very good
start before he ended up suffering the Achilles injury. So
(26:16):
all those are I think why it's a little more
complicated than saying, well, man, what's with this fan base?
Why can't we let this thing play out? Those are
all the reasons that in you know, after a season
that has led to these results, it may not be
quite that easier. Why it's I guess it's a little
bit more on the complicated side. We'll find out what
(26:37):
Lieber has to say about the McCarthy decision to pull
himself from the game, and maybe even some other issues. Bflow.
Is he automatically back? Is he worried about that? Any
questions for Nacho Rat Shawn Brian Kafan text line is
wide open at six four six.
