Speaker 1 (00:15):
Thanks for the help with j Pete Fox. Oh yeah,
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's Parker Fox, former Gophers basketball player, current Big Ten
Network analyst for Golden Gophers football at least ever so often.
Got to start somewhere and via Twitter you can find
Parker at Parker Fox two four via the X machine
at Parker Fox to four. The Vikings lost yesterday. Your thoughts, Yeah,
(00:43):
it was, I tweeted I think I said. I can't
remember specifically what I said. I got a lot of
hate back for it, but somewhere I think we're better
than this Ravens team. And I can't remember my exact words,
but I truly still believe that. I think we're I
think we're a better football team. And oh I can
It was twenty hours ago and you tweeted, well, we'll
start here, okay, quote, let's keep doing penalties end quote.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I thought that was humorous.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It was one of those where I just had to
like laugh through it a little bit because there was
just so many It felt.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Like, then, why did you quote tweet yourself and apologize
because you felt bad about the deal?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I did feel bad, and because the last one was
on my guy Brian O'Neil, and I love Brian, one
of one of my favorite Vikings. I get to see
him in the summer a little bit and he's one
of my guys, and he of course he had to
be the eighth false start penalty. I think that's what
it was, right, correct me if I'm wrong eight, And
especially because it happened to him, I felt bad. So
(01:40):
I was I quote tweeted myself and I was going
through a lot of emotions.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Pa.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It was just one of those games where it was
a lot going on. Taylor had just gotten back home.
She's she slept an hour and a half the night before,
so she's tired.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm tired the whole bit.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We're watching our Vikings team and boom there's the eighth
false start penalty, and the emotions were flowing.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The submission that you referenced a couple of minutes ago
took place twenty hours and forty five minutes ago. Quote
this is at Parker Fox too far follow him via
x if you're so inclined as nine to Noon does quote,
we're better than this Ravens team too. That's the frustrating
(02:22):
part that was the tweet. Did you disagree better overall
than the Ravens. You mean, like, if they played ten times,
do I think it'd be a five to five. Well,
that's a that's a wonderful question. That is a tough question.
Not I think about it, my answer is going to
be no. I do not believe overall the Minnesota Vikings,
(02:43):
out of ten games would win seven or more against
the Ravens in this current iteration, with a quarterback having
made three three starts. That's true, you know where I mean,
it's raising raising kids professionally or personally. We'll have its challenges,
but it also will have its rewards. Fourth quarter soldier
(03:05):
field totality of game Ford field. But that also is
going to be for people like us, maybe even those
inside the building, maybe even the head coach.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's you know, you.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Look at you look at three hours and change of
something from the MotorCity Davy, and you're like, yeah, yeah, cool,
and then you kind of see some of the same
things you expect to happen the next game when you've
come home, and you're like.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Happen, happen. So it's just the ups.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
And the downs where Lamar no longer is up and down,
and I mean, I just you know, it's like when
we were back in Maryland at M and T Bank
Stadium in twenty twenty one, the Ravens beat the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Might have been an overtime game.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Harry the hit Man got bit that day, so he
was out like two hours before the game. Can't find them, debuts,
picks off Lamar, sacks Lamar. So I'm watching Lamar throw
passes into the game, you know, via via previous games.
Then during the game, and I'm like, he throws knuckleballs. Yeah,
I mean it's his arms so strong that he like
(04:15):
like like shot puts the ball to whomever he wants
to get it. But he doesn't do it a lot,
very inaccurate. That ain't the case anymore. He's a cold
bloody killer. And I I really you know, and watching
the Miami game and then some stuff from earlier this
season with Lamar, I just really like how they run
(04:35):
their offense. Yeah, and if you'll notice he never throws
deep down the field. You have to it right, and
like you know that they're they're salting away that thing.
And they got three tight ends off to the left
with Derreck Henry offset left from Jackson out of the
shotgun and after faking a pitch to Henry, well, now
(04:56):
Derek's leading Lamar. You got offensive lineman poland those tight
ends over there, and what did they get?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Six seven eight yards? Everything? Go back and do it again.
They just have a cool offense.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
They do it, and they've really found ways to utilize
their weapons. They've found the speed of Zay flowers lot
on the outside. And then a buddy of mine when
he was at the u Vershod Bateman, they went to
him a couple of times as well. I think they
could utilize him even more than they do. But I
think you're right. Their bread and butter is getting Mark
Andrews getting those tight ends on the line, feeding Derrick Henry.
And then I love the uh what was it was
(05:29):
Dereck Henry in the backfield? He flipped it to Lamar
on the third down play too, That was awesome. So like,
mixing that kind of stuff up is fun. But I
think my perspective of hey, we're the better team comes
from we're minus three in the turnover category and we're
still right there in that game. And how many times
did JJ just miss those little bloopers over the head,
I don't know. If he's excited, probably the adrenalines up
a little bit, throwing it ten yards over the head. Nonetheless,
(05:52):
we're still in that football game. We had no rights
to be in that football game with the penalties and
with the turnovers. But but we're still in that game
with the chance to go march on the foul field
two minute drill I think it was a minute forty
four on the clock. Of course, we get the penalty
that moves is back even further, but we're still moving
down the field trying to go win a football game.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So, yes, it stinks.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It hurts to wake up this morning and feel that,
But I really like where JJ's at. I think that's
what you have to look at it, right, You have
to be glass half full. Is what can JJ get
out of these next couple that propels him.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Moving forward into the season and moving forward into his career.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean, you don't have to, No, you don't have
to do, but you choose to. Yeah, right, I mean
the only thing we really have.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
To do is die.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
With the rest of it is we make the choices,
and that's the choice that you that's the choice that
you have chosen to make.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I have some context here in this told story of
papers that I have that in case you missed it earlier,
like to share with you love it. It basically plays
into along the journey with raising a gifted kid quarterback,
and JJ McCarthy is very gifted.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Totally is.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We just have to remember this side of Tom Brady,
the topsy turvy performances of new quarterbacks has been happening forever,
and McCarthy gaining experience and coming down from emotional wins
and realizing bad games won't be the norm one day
matters immensely more right now than some of the details
to games on which we harp. And you know, like
(07:20):
Drake may last year not nearly as good as he
is now. Likewise, for Bo Nicks, Lamar Jackson in his
first four starts completed fifty six percent of his throws.
I mean he's up around seventy two to seventy three
right now. He kept bumbling. He had three tds and
three picks. He was taking sacks. Josh Allen in his
first four starts in twenty eighteen, he completed fifty five
(07:44):
percent of his passes, which is awful. He had one
touchdown in three interceptions. Josh took sixteen sacks in his
first four games, So just like, how much better do
you think Josh Allen is ages twenty six, seven, eight
nine compared to twenty two and twenty twenty three, and
you know, so it's with these taking the sacks. If
(08:04):
the question is why, well it's it's age old that
whether they're gifted or not, but they're new is they're indecisive.
They don't make lightning quick decisions play after play after
play after play. They hold the ball too long sometimes,
just like that that Josh Allen example I gave you,
But you know it's it's the greatest quarterback in the
(08:27):
history of Minnesota Vikings footballs Fran Tarkenton and went to
four Super Bowls and he's hof He's a Hall of Famer.
And Tarkanden's first four starts, I mean he didn't look
like hof Man. I mean he completed fifty percent of
his passes with one touchdown and six interceptions.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So this is in no way saying JJ McCarthy is
going to turn it around and become hof But that
is age old, contextually accurate. So patients are required, and
if you don't want to watch it, or listen to
it or deal with it or read about it. That's
your choice. And if people make that choice, well that's fine,
(09:06):
but it's contextually factual. It's true with the gifted or
the not or not at that spot, specifically that quarterback spot,
that it takes time.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And we're kind of living that right now. Yeah, we
definitely are.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
And I think it's it's something too where I always
go back to like a basketball perspective, and I think
about like a guy like Steph Curry. Like Steph Curry
comes in the NBA, he's he doesn't really break out
to that all star role till probably four or five
seasons into the NBA. Damian Lillard, same deal. So it's
it's taking time. And then there's also the injury effect,
right is being out a whole year with an injury
and then the high ankle sprain and are you really healthy?
(09:42):
And I know these guys say, you're never really healthy.
You have to find ways to perform when when you're injured,
when you're hurt. But nonetheless, I think JJ's in a
spot where he's got a great offensive line, he's got
a head coach that trusts in him, he's got a
backfield that that can support him. He's got good wide
receiver core. So so what can you gain from these
couple weeks moving into the end of the season here
and then especially moving into the off season, what are
(10:04):
you working on? What's your main focus coming back? And
I hate to already be to that point because I
think there's still life in this football team.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I think there's still I don't want to say playoff hope.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I don't know what the numbers look like, but I
think there's still life in this football team, and it's
finding ways to propel yourself to that I think is
obviously this team's goal.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There's no quitting this team. There can't be quitting this team.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Parker Fox via x at Parker Fox two, four twenty
hours nineteen minutes ago. Quote so you just can't sack
a quarterback anymore? Okay, got it? End quote? That was
the frustration that I don't. It just was the newest
example of not understanding certain facets of tackling or sacks.
(10:49):
And this would be FEVA Fairness and vox Act. When
we were at Ford Field, Yeah, there were two penalties
called against the Lions that I thought were garbage. Really,
I thought they were garbage. There was one on eight
Hutchins and where I'm like, that's ridiculous. And like with
Dallas Turner yesterday, I said to Bersi and liber after
(11:09):
because those are former linebackers totally whose careers, whether it's
playing linebacker or special teams, were predicated on tackling. And
I said to Pete, I'm like, well, if you're teaching
a clinic, if you have a clinic, or you're teaching
a class on proper form tackling, that's and that's a
wonderful example right there, wrapped him up, chin was up,
(11:31):
didn't lunge to drive him down, and it caused you
to tweet quote.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
So you can't just sack a quarterback anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
But talk about a guy that just can't catch a
break either, right like Dallas quite well, yes, yeah, we
talk about Dallas.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Turner and I feel like he gets so much hate.
I don't know. I think he's finding his way.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He's young, he's he's not in a starting position, so he's,
you know, finding out a way to how can I
affect the game.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
How can I impact the game.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And finally you break through and you make a play
and you can see his excitement and his energy come
out and he's all fired up, and then boom, there's
the yellow flag of the ground and now it's palms
of the sky, chin to the floor, and you're really
trying to figure out where can I make an impact
on this game? So feel bad for him in that circumstance.
But at the same time, it's like we needed to
catch a break and of course we just couldn't. And
(12:19):
I get it, Like I understand is, hey, he may
have done a slight lunge, he may have picked him up,
it may have been the body weight thing, but at
some point there's got to be a tackling the quarterback
because Lamar's running around the field all the time anyways,
So how can we take him down? Because if you
don't wrap him up, if you don't take him to
the ground, he's just going to get out of it.
So I was frustrated with that one. I think that's
(12:39):
where the tweet comes from from that one. But I
think you can understand that one, right, Pier, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And the final one that at least I had time
this morning to write down, took place very early in
the game and Parker at Parker Fox two four, tweeted,
Hello JJ, what a ball hale of Williams this year Minnesota.
One of one on third down, two receivers write three
left empty backfield. McCarthy wearing the nine facing a four
(13:05):
man rush.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
He's gonna fade left to Dayalen Naylor cut heap.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The forty then all right the blue and tackle still
park by Nailor at the thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Fall they still it's money fines to the ten down
at the five.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Hey sixty two yard catching run by the speedy Daylon Naylor.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What you like that, didn't you? Well? This one was?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
This one was was your voice? They got me fired up.
I was in the Bronco driving to pick Taylor up
from Terminal one as she got back from Buffalo, so
I didn't have the stream on.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I was listening to you and I was just pulling into.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I haven't tweeted while while driving in about two and
a half years.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Le let me get there, Let me get there. I
got to Tarto wadd parked the.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Car, gave my right thumb carpool tumnel syndrome by Yea
with his new phone, but it was all fixed.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But anyways, I was listening to you on k fan
and on one hundred point three on your radio dial.
And that got me absolutely fired up. So I checked
Twitter and boom there was the play. I can't remember
who tweeted it right away, but just an unbelievable ball
from JJ back shoulder to Jaalen Naylor. He was a
guy that me and my puddy were talking about the
morning of is Hey, we think we can expose this
(14:17):
secondary But but where do you go right because you
know Justin Jefferson is going to played physical with you know,
Jordan Adison's gonna have a lot those under routes, those
out routes. But can you get balls on the field
to a guy like speedy and Jalen Naylor? And what
a great way to start the game. And truly, what
an unbelievable ball that's that's a high level throw there
from JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Your fiance, Taylor Heisei who you you have referenced a
couple of times, like like Parker just said, well, she
just got back Saturday at an hour and a half sleep.
She got back assumably from Buffalo. Yeah sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Buffalo and Cleveland before that. It's something called the Rivalry
Series USA in Canada and Parker's fiance Taylor Heisee one
(14:57):
of the very best women hockey plays in the world.
And maybe people saw this on X That's where I
saw it with the fake shots then no look backhand
pass or passes for goals, and Parker tweets quote, I mean,
this is what a wonderful celebratory submission to Twitter you
(15:18):
offered for the person you love as much as anybody
in the world. Taylor Heisi quote eyes in the back
of her head, just like when I'm cleaning out the
fridge trying to throw away her nasty hard boiled eggs.
Somehow she just sees everything annoying, but it comes in handy.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I guess what the hell was that all about.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well, it's kind of ironic because we were just talking
about these hard boiled eggs that she makes, and she
has this hard boiled egg maker and she boiled it.
What have you seen one of these before? Yeah, it's
called it's called a pot and they got they got
like a they got a device for it. It's like
a little stand and you set up hard boil eggs,
then you pour water in the bottom of it, and
(16:02):
then it chimes. About ten minutes later and it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Makes at you and your fiance for seventy nine.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, that's a TV shopping thank you. Hey, they didn't man,
they didn't get me, does it? Dude?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
This is assumably you don't like hardboiled No.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I can't stand them, can't stand the smell, the whole deal.
I hate I hate them in the fridge. How many
eggs does it make it one time? I think you
can get up to hate in there.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You like hard boiled eggs? I love them? Yeah, so
do I You get them the right texture?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Ye? And then I mean salt and pepper, well, salt
and s and p. Yeah, like like on a plate
and then like you dip it or whatever you want
to call it. It's just rubbed, grazed whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I just don't why. I just like deviled eggs. Oh
that's a little better.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
There's there's a little flavor in there, there's a little
something going on the paperka, the mail, the whole deal.
But I just like they're in the fridge and they stink,
and then you know, she makes them and they're in
there for a week and a half.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And if somebody can you make in the seventy nine
ninety trapped like you off, you get up to like
eight or ten in there.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So she's making eight or ten, she needs two or three.
The rest of us sitting in the fridge for a
week and a half. And I've got a little OCD
and me I got a little cleanliness. I'm trying to
throw things away and boom, there she is, where's my heart?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Boiled eggs? Well, honey, you could make more. You got
this device. You can just make more.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, ask Ken Nordo and I By getting like a
little pot and putting water in there, I.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Hope she's listened again.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Six minutes into it, we have boiling water and then
we put the eggs in and then they're done, and
then you roll them along the surface. That a pro
tip right there to get to get the shell off. Okay,
And we didn't pay seventy nine to ninety nine for
that honor and that opportunity. Man So Russo Radio, Michael
Russo at Russo Hockey. He's covering the rivalry series for
(17:49):
the Athletic and the Athletics dot com. So Michael and Taylor,
my sources tell me met in Cleveland. So he's starting,
you know, to get to know the coach and the
players and everything, and Mike pre eminent of what he
does totally. But from his most recent story that I
read now, the coach's last name Robe Blushki.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, they call him Robo, but Robolowski something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Team USA coach Robo felt the American This is from
Michael Russo's Gamer Slash Enterprising story. Team USA coach Robo
felt the American saw glimpses of Heisey's stardom at times
during the World Championships, but we're still waiting for her
to really pop against Canada. Her quote arrival time end quote,
(18:35):
he said is coming at a perfect time with the
Olympics right around the corner. Heisei was in attack mode
and basically creating empty net goals for Murphy as an
abby Murphy to fire into Murphy as a knack for
getting lost behind defenders and says she knows exactly where
Heisei wants her to be, so she can look for
(18:58):
those seams and and she gets the puck and the
slot Murphy is automatic.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, that's Ruth, that's Russo Radio writing about this.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
He's great, He's the best, and it was so fun
to follow him and Obviously I had the game on
the TV, and I'm watching on NHL Network, and I
get to see it happening in front of my eyes.
But not everybody has access to NHL Network, and not everybody,
you know, watches these games. So what a fun thing
for Michael Russo to be tweeting these out and for
the girls to you know, celebrate those and this is big.
This is Canada, like this is I think big time.
(19:27):
The last however many World Championships, the last how many Olympics,
it's always Canada and US and the finals, so the
whole year. Yeah, you got to play Sweden, you gotta
play Fidland, you gotta play these other teams, but you
know it's going to come down to Canada US. So
you're taking these games, You're taking these opportunities to really
figure out what works, what doesn't work, and how do
you attack this team and how do you find yourself
with a gold medal around your next February twentieth in Milan.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Now, Nordo and I may have just gotten boxed up.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Bocks Officer Guys sent me a text during this conversation.
Robbie Guys likes his food and he he writes, what
Parker is talking about with the egg maker is the bomb.
Oh use it all the time. Here we go and
they're like twenty dollars, oh cheap support supporting it. I
love it, I can tell you, PA sounds like going
(20:14):
to be a good Christmas gift for about five people.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I've never made hard boiled eggs. I won't make hard
boiled eggs, but if I were to make hardboiled eggs,
I think it would be in the device versus the
the the just the pot with the water, you get.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Them a little more consistency.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Officer guys has one purchased a mortgage payments worth of
small appliances from QVC.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Oh yeah, yeah for the garage. You know, you know
he's got all the second cave second to none. Thank you, Robbie.
So when do you leave for Edmonton for the rest
of the series. I don't think I'm going to be
going to Edmonton. Unfortunately, unfortunately, Edmonton sucks. Why would anybody
want playing games?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I've never been, but you just you just know it sucks.
I don't think I'll be going up to there just
because I'll have a couple of games for a big
time network during that time. But yeah, two more games
and then the Frost season starts right around the corner
here in November twenty first is the home opener. So
we were waiting for this time this summer as we
were trying to enjoy the as much of the summer
(21:15):
as we could, knowing that once this kind of beginning
of November rolls around, it's going to be Rivalry Series
into Frost, back into Rivalry Series, back into Frost, and
then boom hop skip and jump over to Milan for
the Olympics. So it's a lot of hockey on the horizon,
but it's a super fun time.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
All right, Let's spend ninety more seconds, maybe two minutes
with pe Fox and got a couple of basketball things
for you.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This has been elongated, which means it's a marathon segment
courtesy of Steve's Appliance is Steve's Appliances dot Com. We
got the cursory ooh over there for the fridge, the range,
and the dishwasher with a fast delivery, free recycling guaranteed
low prices. A couple of people extremely close to me
just bought a washer and dryer from Steve's Appliances and
(22:00):
the thing is is when you go to Steve's Appliances
in Moundsview with that seven thousand square foot showroom or
start online Steve's Appliances dot Com is the deals Nordo

udo maybe you remember this reasoning I don't. All right,
So the Wolves have gotten hot. They it was a
ridiculous loss to the Knicks. Fincy turns fifty six. The
(22:43):
next day they decide to give him his birthday presents.
In subsequent games, beating Utah by forty and then dominating
Demontes and the Kings last night, here's the question, why
did Sacramento move to Aaron Fox again? Yeah no kidding,
I'm serious. I'm watch the game. I'm like, I didn't
feel like looking it up or whatever. A Rodger is
(23:04):
zessing his peas that game was boring. The wild game
just ended, Caprice off with the empty nettter one not
ready to go to bed, listen to some YouTube shorts
in bed and I'm watching this Wolves game and they're
crushing Sacramento and I forgot to text you how why'd
they trade the Aaron Fox again?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Well on the spot, I don't remember what they received
in return for the transaction. I don't remember, but it
it just doesn't look the same man with without him understanding,
you know, they can bring Malik Monk off the bench
and then get some shooting there, and of course DeRozan
appears ageless, but still there's a ceiling there.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And it's all about Demonts. Right.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
That's not a good team right now. That's where it's like, Okay,
they got hot. Well they played the Jazz and kind
of a weird fucking n It was a three team trade,
as it was with the Bulls Chicago.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
There.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, they see Zach. You know, not to turn this
into point guard fan line, but I mean Zach's apply.
I like Zach, Yeah, good across the board. Player kind
of got a lot of big box scorer to him,
has all of his career. But they are big box scores.
But he's that lanky, tall, good not great ball handler.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Who people are always like force feeding into the point
guard spot. Yeah, brod de Aaron Fox is a point
guard and he's licked, he's split fast, and he's a
killer crossover.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, exactly, the miss him. So you look at this
King's team now, and you say, where do we go
for point guard? Yeah, we picked up Russell Westbrook and
he's self proclaimed the best.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
What what did he say that?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
He said, I'm the best rebounding point guard in the
history of the Nba'd.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Be tough to argue with him.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Magic Johnson, Robertson Oscar Right, yeah, right, I mean it's okay,
Russ is going to Russ, but he is one of
the very best rebounding guards. Phenomen He was terrible last night.
His previous two or three, My man was on fire.
He might had a triple double in one of those.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, he's been great.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But you look at their point guard position, it's just
it's just tough ego Dennis Schroeder and Russell Westbrook. You
can maybe sprinkling a little Molik Monk there, but but
the Kings don't really have a lot. I've never been
high on Demontesis, I just never really have and I
get it. He produces right, he gets the rebounds, he gets,
but it's all left hand. Everything is left hand. So
(25:16):
what I can't stop him? Yeah, okay, fair enough, but
but what.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The hell are you talking? I can I have an
opinion on but your opinion's wrong.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Demantes is high in passing center, okay, rebounds are high end,
he's undersized, he's and and he has that Euro dog
to him where there was a moment last night he
got fouled three times. They didn't call. One time Rudy
tried to block his shot. I mean he pushed after
he finally made it and the ref let it go
(25:48):
because I think the ref recognized he missed two or
three calls. He pushed Rudy like get out of my
way now. Now Rudy's got the Euro thing too. Okay,
with with with the French connection there, but Demontes fears nobody.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Those Euros are.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Tough, elite rebounder, elite, probably one of the best in
the NBA rebounding wise. But I think there's enough of
these euro bigs now that that they're stacking up against him.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I'm taking out. I'm taking out from Sangoon.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I'm not Sengoon's had a good start to this year,
but I'm taking Sangoon over Sabonis every day of the week,
are you not?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I love Sabonis. The issue I think Goon's younger. Where
I lean your.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Way, Parker, is that to take advantage of how Sabonis plays,
you kind of have to run the offense through him,
which is kind of put them in part of the
point guard conundrum that they are in. Yes, so I
think in some so I lean where you're going. I
just man, I love Demantess Sabonis. I get it, and
I get alliens were mildly hurt when you took them deep.
(26:49):
The way that you did kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I love here.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Here's my thing, too, is with the guy like Sabonis, right, Pa,
you talk about an elite passer, right, he's he can
shoot them range, he'd not he'd rather go to that
left hand. He can shoot the three, but he'd rather,
you know, get inside. You have to surround him with shooters, right.
So you look at what's around Aaron Fox, Well, yeah, okay, shooter.
But Demarta Rosen's around him. He's a mid range guy.
He's not a three point guy. Zach Lavine can shoot
(27:15):
the three the four men in their offense is precious
as Chew well, he has no business outside of the arc.
So you talk about a guy who's, yes, he's a
good passer, but you have to find guys he can shoot.
And I love Streaky though, Yeah, but he's Streaky. And
I love Malik He's he's a great player. He's he's
good personal friends with some of my guys, and and
and and I think he's a true talent. But when
(27:35):
you talk about Sabonis his ability to pass the ball,
you got to surround you got to find three point
shooters around him. And I don't think that's that's a
specialty for the King's.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Okay, your best twenty eight seconds on this. I just wait,
Nord and I just want to name, Okay, who was it?
What left handed player in your childhood who used you
so badly because you because the lefties are tough to stop.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
They are that you just can't get past it. I
don't think it's a specific person. I've got the opportunity
to play with elite lefties. Jamison Battle is one of
my best friends with the Toronto Raptors. Now as true
of a lefty shooter as you can get, all right.
I just think that when when when you look at lefties,
sometimes they're just so left handed. And I look at
some bonus and there was some and I'm just watching
(28:14):
last night. I haven't watched a lot of Kings basketball,
but I'm watching last night, and Rudy's in great defensive positioning.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But if you just slide about three more inches to
the left or to your right.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
To his left, you're gonna put yourself in better defensive
positioning because he's not going back to the right. He's
going to stay with that left. So I think it's
just something where I'm not calling DeMont has one some
one dimensional. I'm not doing that at all. But I
think you just you defend at that level, you defend
a left hand, you give yourself a little bit more success.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You're the best. To have a good way.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Love you man, Love you buddy. Tell Taylor, we say hello,
Parker Fox. The Sultan of Smug joins around the corner.

exes and oh action on the kfa N Minnesota Vikings
Audio Network. We are in search of David Sinneken to
(30:10):
do a Packer preview followed the Border Battle.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah, we guess we got to straight the voicemail situation. Yeah,
you know, things are tenuous with the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well, actually, I mean fiha fairness and host act im
five minutes late. We're well, it's a wei, but it's
my fault. We're we're five six minutes late. So maybe
something transpired during the course of that time that well, we.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Couldn't leave on the Siboni's bed like we had to
finish the Sabonas conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
With Parker before we went to break.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
I mean, there's no doubts and in the zones Dave
sinecon I think would appreciate that he would understand the
tardiness of nine to noon in this circumstance, check your
watch and tell me what time it is.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Eleven forty one.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
The peak your head out and tell me what the
climb it is. Man.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I see a little bit of snow on the ground
right now, a little chilli probably like probably like thirty
one degrees in the neighborhood Green Bay. And the Philadelphia
Eagles play on Monday night football tonight, and that that's
a game I expect. And by the way, without betting
(31:21):
on these games. Uh, but you know the the the
beauty of making what is known as mind bets m
I n D. Mind bets is the only thing you
can lose. If you lose is your mind.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Check your watch and tell me what time it is. Now,
Peak your head out and tell.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Me what the climbate is.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It just heated up a lot because we got the
salted next SEGM locute, my sultant, good morning.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Are we doing good?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Super special sending at TC head Cheese via x Packer.
Preview and review via the free iHeart audio app downloaded, Dendra,
listen to it now. How do you win tonight? And
are you attending the game?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I am not attending the game. I thought over the
offseason that I would be, but my brother's tickets got sold,
so I'm here watching it on TV. To me, it
comes down to the red zone. The Packers have been
very poor in the red zone the last few weeks,
one for five last week. Eagles are the best offensively
and one of the best defensively, so I think the
(32:36):
game's decided by who's more productive in the red zone.
Got to run the football with Josh Jacobs tonight. Green
Bay's run blocking has been abysmal of ladies, averaging less
than four yards of carry, and I think Lafloor's got
to take some of the training wheels off and let
his quarterback do some things against an Eagles team that
you can throw on. So there's opportunities there, But they
got to play a much cleaner game than they did
(32:57):
last week.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
How are things on the health front for your super
special team?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Well, we got three wide receivers who are questionable tonight.
I think Wix will be back. He's missed the last couple,
but Matthew Golden did not practice Friday or Saturday with
a shoulder, so he's not trending well to play tonight.
So little injury concerned hitting the wide receiver room deep.
Still without Lucas van Nests for another week. Nate Hobbs
is out for a couple of weeks, might be back
(33:24):
for the Viking game. So let's just say this, not
as injured as many, but a lot more injured than
the Eagles, who come in off their by with just
their center Cam Jurgens out, and who knows, Pa, maybe
they'll open up the game with the tush push on
first and ten just to shut it in the Packers' face.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
What dumb? What do you think of the Eagles overall?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I don't think there's anything special about him. I think
you'd probably agree you saw him up close and personal.
I mean, we're three weeks removed from the getting blown
out at home by the Giants. Their offense hasn't seemed
right all year with their new offensive coordinators, so you know,
I think they're certainly one of the teams in the
NFC that's going to be up there. But you know,
I think Seattle and the Rams have been much more
(34:05):
dominant team so far. I think Detroit, Green Bay and
Philly are all kind of looking up at those two
right now. I just think we're kind of. We're looking
at five or six teams that are sort of separating themselves,
and we'll see which ones stay healthy.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Border Battle the head Cheese at TC head Cheese via X.
What do you expect from Jordan Love tonight?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
I expect a good game. He's very good in primetime.
It's crazy statistically how well he plays under the lights.
I do think he will play well. Obviously, having a
productive running game will help him if play action could
be part of the bit. But I think he'll rebound.
He was not bad last week. He was not the
reason green Bay lost. There are a lot of mistakes
that this team made and he was low on the
(34:46):
priority list. But I expect a good night from him
tonight against Philadelphia. Green Bay has struggle against Vic Fangio
defenses over the years, but the two games against Philly
we're both close and in doubt. Last year, you know,
green Bay opened and closed the season against the Eagles.
I think they learned something. I think they find a
way to get it done tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Sinny, bigger surprise from yesterday. You're an elite football mine.
Miami beat Buffalo or the Saints got their second win
against that Carolina team that won at Lambeau last game.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Well, the Dolphins were one of my three underdog picks,
so I'm not going to pick that one because I'm
not that surprised. I thought it might be a chance
of Buffalo off the big win might fall flat. I
did not see Carolina coming as well. As they played
against Green Bay the week before, I had a feeling
they were just gonna dust New Orleans and run the
ball down their throats. But that one shocked me. I
did not see that coming.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Appreciate your brother enjoyed the game tonight.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Thanks Pa, I have a great week, but see you.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
But that's David Sennekon at TC head Cheese and that's
nine to noon. We are at the Vikings Home tomorrow TCOPC.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, you know we.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Kevin O'Connell joins nine to noon at eleven o'clock tomorrow
the program with the patented montages around the corner. And
thank you very much for listening to kfam if and
or when you do. And I'm Paul Allen. Here comes
Big Daddy Khan to put a rap on the show.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
All right. I spent a little more time writing this one,
putting this one together. I just hope that hope that
it pans out. Everything runs smoothly. You know what I
want to say to Dave Sinekin.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
But before the snap, I'll start by the center. I mean,
let's start down.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
My team just fell to four and five and I
don't know why.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
But then straight eye behind McCarthy, c J Hamm in
front of Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Box by the offense number seventy five.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Come on, I just want to wrap.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I wanted to see more from the kid QB.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
How about the running game first.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
And ten Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
He is under center?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Is Kate yep?
Speaker 5 (36:50):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I get it by penaly it's first down.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
The talkbacks and texts are negative, and the fan base
is lost.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I'm from the twenty pounds my dari saw and Hawkinson jump.
There's something with this cadence here.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
That's set um.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I mean while offense personal fou nine and seventy one personal.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
HAPs a five yard penalty of first down and go
ahead the Freudian slide there by the official. All right,
that's all I got, have a great bag. We're at
DCO tomorrow. See you about podcast Today's Paul Allen Show,
