Speaker 1 (00:15):
Thanks for the help with PJ. 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 like, then.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Why did you quote tweet yourself and apologize because you
felt bad about the deal?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I did feel bad, and because.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
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, eat and especially because it happened to him,
I felt bad. So I was I quote tweeted myself
(01:42):
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 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
(02:23):
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,
(02:44):
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 nasionally or personally. We'll have
its challenges, but it also will have its rewards fourth
(03:05):
quarter soldier 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.
It's you know, you 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
(03:25):
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 (03:34):
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 Banks
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.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Can't find him.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
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
like like shot puts the ball to whomever he wants
(04:18):
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
their offense. And if you'll notice, he never throws deep
(04:39):
down the field. They 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
Derrick Henry offset left from Jackson out of the shotgun
and after faking a pitch to Henry, well, now Derek's
leading Lamar. You got offensive lineman laying and those tight
(05:00):
ends over there, and why did they get six seven
eight yards?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Every time? Go back and do it again. They just
have a cool offense.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
They do, 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 Rashod 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
(05:27):
I love the uh what was it was? Derek 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
(05:49):
little bit, throwing it ten yards over the head. Nonetheless,
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 we're still in that game with
a chance to go march on the fount the field
two minute drill.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think it was a minute forty four on the clock.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Of course, we get the penalty that moves us 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 moving forward
into the season and moving forward into his career.
Speaker 1 (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.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Really have to do is die 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 totally is I feel
(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,
and nine compared to twenty two and twenty three totally
And you know, so it's with these taking the sacks.
(08:04):
If 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
(08:27):
in the 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, to read about it. That's your choice.
And if people make that choice, well that's fine, but
(09:06):
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 (09:17):
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 you 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 the next couple weeks, moving into the end of
the season here and then especially moving into the off season.
(10:04):
What are 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.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Quote so you just can't sack a quarterback anymore? Okay?
Got it? End quote?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That was the frustration that I don't It just was
the newest example of not understanding certain facets of tackling
or sacks. 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 regard Ridge.
(11:00):
Really I thought they were garbage. There was one on
eight Hutchinson where I'm like, that's ridiculous. And like with
Dallas Turner yesterday, I said to Bersi and liber after,
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
(11:22):
a class on proper form tackling, that's and that's a
wonderful example right there, wrapped him up, chin was up,
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 (11:40):
Let's talk about a guy that just can't catch a
break either, right, like Dallas quite well, yes, yeah, we
talk about Dallas Turner and I feel like he gets
so much hate.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
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, How can I impact the game?
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
(12:11):
this game.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So feel bad for him in that circumstance.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But at the same time, it's like we needed to
catch a break and of course we just couldn't. And
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 is running around the field all the time anyways,
So how can we take him down? Because if you
(12:34):
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
where the tweet comes from from that one. But I
think you can understand that one, right, Pierre, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And the final one that at least I had times
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 cale 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 man rush.
(13:06):
He's gonna fade left to Dayli Naylor cut heep the
forty then all right and blue a tackle still bark by.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Nailer at the thirty full the still his money finds
to the.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Ten down at the five.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Hey sixty two yard catching run by the spady Daylon Naylor.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What you like that, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
This one was? This one was was your voice? They
got me fired up. I was in the the Bronco
driving to pick Tailor up from Terminal one as she
got back from Buffalo, so I didn't have the stream on.
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.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I got to Tarto, wa'd parked the car, gave my
right thumb carpool tunnel syndrome by yeah with his new phone, but.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It was all fixed.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But anyways, I was listening to you on 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 backs shoulder to Jayleen Naylor. He was a
guy that I mean, my Putty 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,
Jordanaison's gonna have a lot of 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 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, okay, yeah,
Buffalo and Cleveland before that. It's something called the Rivalry
series USA in Canada and Parker's fiance Taylor Heisei one
(14:57):
of the very best women hockey layers 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.
I guess what the hell was that all about.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well, it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
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 uh, 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 oiled eggs and then you
pour water in the bottom of it. And then it
(16:02):
chimes about ten minutes later. It makes a got you
and your fiance for seventy nine ninety nine. Yeah, that's
a TV shopping thank you. Hey, they didn't man, they
didn't get me becau does it?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Dude, this is assumingly. You don't like hard boiled 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? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
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.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Want to call it. It's just rubbed, grazed whatever. I
just don't why. I just like deviled eggs. Oh, that's it.
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 and if somebody
can you make in the seventy nine, I trapped you there?
Like you off, you get up to like eight or
ten in there. So she's making eight or ten, she
needs two or three. The rest of us sitting in
(17:05):
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 where's my hard 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 hope she's
listened again. Six minutes into it, we have boiling water
and then we put the eggs in and then they're.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Done and then you roll them along the surface. That
a pro tip right there to get to get the
shell off.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Okay, And we didn't pay seventy nine to ninety nine
for that honor and that opportunity. Man So Russo Radio
Michael Russo and Russo Hockey. He's covering the rivalry series
for the Athletic and the Athletics dot com. So Michael
and Taylor my sources tell me met in Cleveland, so
(17:56):
he's starting, you know, to get to know the coach
and the players and everything.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And Michaels pre eminent of what he does totally.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
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,
(18:36):
he said is coming at a perfect time with the
Olympics right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Heisei was in attack mode and.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
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 those
seams and when 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. He's great,
He's the best, and it was so fun to follow him.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
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. The
last however, many World Championships, the last however, many Olympics,
(19:30):
it's always Canada and US and the finals. So the
whole year, Yeah, you got to play Sweden, you gotta
play Fidland, you got to 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):
Bucks 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.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I love it. I can tell you.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
P sounds like going to be a good Christmas gift
for about five people. 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 a little more consistency.
Speaker 5 (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 gave 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
wanted her 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
ten 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 in the rivalry series, back into Frost,
and then boom hop skipping 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 and do it. 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
(21:54):
of people extremely close to me just bought a washer
and dryer from Steve's Appliances. And the thing is is
when you go to Steve's Appliances in Moundsview with that
seven thousand square foot showroom or start on line Steve's
Appliances dot Com is the deals Nordo or whomever get,
They're there for you too when you let the owners know.
(22:15):
I heard about this on kfam and I'd like to
get bass delivery, free, recycling guaranteed, low prices, and they're
going to take care of you in second and unfashioned.
This is a treasure trove for those of you looking
for appliances Steve's Appliances dot com UO. Maybe you remember
this reasoning I don't. All right, So the Wolves have
(22:37):
gotten hot. They it was a ridiculous loss to the Knicks.
Finchy turns fifty six. The 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.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Sacramento move to Aaron Fox again?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
No kidding, serious, I'm watching the game less. I'm like
I didn't feel like looking it up or whatever. A
Rodd is zessing his ps. That game was boring. The
wild game just ended Caprice off with the empty netter
on 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.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Text you how why did they trade the Aaron Fox again?
Well on the spot.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
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 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.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But still there's a ceiling there. And it's all about Demonts.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Right.
Speaker 5 (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 Zach Levine. It was a three
team trade, as it was with the Bulls Chicago. There, Yeah,
they see Zach.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
You know, not to turn this into point guard fan line,
but I mean Zach's apply I like good across the
board player kind of got a lot of big box
scorer to h him has all of his career, but
they are big box scores.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
But he's that lanky, tall, good not great ball handler. 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. And 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.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
It'd 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.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
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 6 (24:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, he's been great, 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 the Kings don't really have a lot.
I've never been high on Demontesis.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I just never really have. And I get it.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
He produces right, he gets the rebounds, he gets a dog.
But it's all left hand. Everything is left hand. So
what I can't stop him?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Okay, fair enough, But but what the hell are you talking?
I'm guy, can I have an opinion on But your
opinion's wrong. It's an opinion.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Demontes is high in passing center. Okay, rebounds are high end,
he's undersized, he's and and he he has that Euro
dog to him where there was a moment last night
he got fouled three times.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
They didn't call.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
One time Rudy tried to block his shot. I mean
he pushed after he finally made it, and the ref
let it go because I think the ref recognized he
missed two or three calls.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
He pushed Rudy like, get out of my way now.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
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 5 (26:17):
I'm not Sengoon's had a good.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Start to this year, but I'm taking Sanggoon over Sabonis
every day of the week, are you not?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I love Sis. The issue I think Goon's younger.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Where I lean your way, Parker, is that to take
advantage of how Sibonis 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.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
And Aliens were mildly hurt when you took them deep.
The way that you did it kind of makes sense.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
I love.
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 the mid range, he'd rather 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.
(27:14):
Zach Lavine can shoot 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
(27:34):
true talent. But when 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 Okay, your
best twenty eight seconds on this. I just wait norder
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.
(27:54):
They are that you just can't get past it. I
don't think it's a specific person I've I've got the
opportunity to play with some 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 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 last night. I haven't watched a lot of
(28:16):
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, to.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
His left, you're going to 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. Love you man,
Love you buddy.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Tell Taylor we say hello, Parker Fox, the Sultan of
smug Joints around the corner.
Speaker 1 (28:48):

Speaker 4 (29:26):
In your Faith Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
D C o PC tomorrow when Cindy's roth the Phoenix
Performance Center home to your Minnesota Vikings. Kevin O'Connell, head
coach of the Vikings, joins at eleven a m for
some hot exes and oh was action on the kfa
N Minnesota Vikings Audio Network. We are in search of
(30:08):
David Sinneken to do a Packer preview followed the Border Battle.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, well yes, we got a 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 couldn't leave on the Sibonis bed like. We had
to finish the Sabonis conversation with Parker before we went
(30:39):
to break.
Speaker 5 (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.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Check your watch and tell me what time it is?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Eleven one.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No, peak your head out and tell me what the
climbing 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, 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 4 (31:39):
Check your watch it and tell me what time it is. Now,
Peak your head out and tell me what the climbate is.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
It just heated up a lot because we got the
saltan next segm.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
LOCUTU my Sultan, Good morning, Paul, how are we doing? Good?
Super special Senny at TC head Cheese via x Packer
preview and review via the Free iHeart audio app downloaded
den Dora, listen to it now.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
How do you win tonight? And are you attending the game?
Speaker 6 (32:14):
I am not attending the game. I thought over the
off season that I would be, but my brother's tickets
got sold, so I'm 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
(32:35):
I think the 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 Lafleur'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
(32:57):
they did last week.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
How are things on the health front for your super
special team?
Speaker 6 (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 Ness 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 6 (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
(34:06):
dominant teams 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 6 (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 sided away
to get it done tonight.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Sinny bigger surprise from yesterday. You're an elite football mind.
Miami beat Buffalo, or the Saints got their second win
against that Carolina team that won at Lambeau last game.
Speaker 6 (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 6 (35:40):
Thanks Pa, I have a great week, but see you.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
But that's David Sendekin 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 KFA in IP
and or when you do, and I'm Paul Allen. Here
comes big Daddy Khan to put a rap on the show.
Speaker 5 (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 3 (36:20):
But before the snap, I all start by the center.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I mean, let's start down. 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 by.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
The offense number seventy five.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Come on, I just want to wrap.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I wanted to see more from the kid QB.
Speaker 4 (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 Kaden yep?
Speaker 6 (36:50):
I mean I get it.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
By penaly it's start down.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
The talkbacks and texts are negative, and the fan base
is lost.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Ten from the twenty pounds my Dara saw and Hawkinson jump.
There's something with this cadence here that's getting them. But
I mean phile offense personal fou nine and.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Seventy one personals a five yard penalty.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
It's first down and go ahead. The Freudian slide there
by the official. All right, that's all I got have
a Bag at DCO tomorrow. See you About podcast, Today's
