Speaker 1 (00:31):
Nine to Noon is in the air. It's eleven oh
nine and we welcome you back. Paul Allen Nordo at
Parker Fox two four via X follow him as nine
to noon does if you are so inclined, Yeah, that
Parker Fox.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Do you think it's strictly like if if Parker had
had a single digit Jersey number, that he could have
had an alter ego, because like when two four comes out,
it's just it doesn't sound right, but it's like when
six it's the Yeah, I think it could have been different.
I don't know Jersey Jersey numbers matter. I don't know
the Jersey number alter ego. Bit is a six seven

(01:08):
to mean it's six seven? It has no riz? Oh
no zero riz zero riz to nine. Did I say
that right?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
I love it? Yeah? Yeah. The chatt is spanning W's facts. Yeah. Yeah,
there's zero fire to it.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
The fire, the chatter, come on de fire? What on fire? O? Hey,
none of it, none of it. I'm out on it
out huh.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And I've told you, yeah, I'm somebody heard me say
on the radio the other day, just like you know, Hey,
you're you're out on the nine thing.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, I heard you on the radio say the nine
bit sucks. I wish it never started. It's not of
the kid's personality. I don't know why it happened. I
think it sucks. I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're setting yourself up for a tough one too, because
if you're claiming nine and then and then you say
nine is gonna come out and you play less than nine,
just never say it again.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
In this knucklehead era slash society, we'll forget about it
in three seconds.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh, we'll forget I was in the chat.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
But what But what they won't forget in the chat is,
Hey Billy, Johnny, Christy, Susie and Twantamika, everybody gather around
the television. Uncle Parker's on TV.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Can you have an entire conversation based on emojis?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Let's just do that whole perfect setup again, the one
we talked about into the segment three two, Hey Billy, Johnny, Christy,
Susie and Twantamika gather around the television.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Everybody, Uncle Parker's on TV.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Prested reading her five seconds left in the game, reading her,
thank god we're tied? Willis what second left?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Courtesy of Big Ten Network.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Big Ten plus the problem is Parker knows is actually
he didn't hit it because it didn't count and the
team went overtime and won by a hair. But let's
listen to more of Parker analyzing the hard one.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
So what is Nico said to his team? What does
he need to fix these last three minutes offense? I
think he just needs it needs these guys to settle
down a little thing. He wants great stuff offensively, but
mistakes like that. It's little things, trying to c j
O Herrick going upstairs and trying to.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Put the tip slam down. But like I mentioned, it's
just the little things.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
It's getting playing off two feet in the paint, just
like you see Kate Tyson doing right there, and it's
just slowing your brain down a little bit getting to
get to the offense that you know that you could
play well.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Go was that Parker or Fox talking about JJ McCarthy
or about the new coat?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean it's it.

Speaker 8 (03:53):
Sounds say stuff right, simplifying the game, bang up job
as you were this weekend against It's gott Leabs team.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah it was, yeh, Yeah. Let's listen to I think
I got another Parker here.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Kate Tyson with the back door. How about the energy
from him?

Speaker 8 (04:08):
Right, Like, this team needs a spark, This team.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Needs some energy.

Speaker 8 (04:11):
Give the fist bumps something I would have done about
the my dad second fouling Chichi.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, you watched Tyson's.

Speaker 8 (04:19):
Nam They play an as Surrey, no offense to the box.
I want to hear Parker, who is the box opportunity
your audition bit? Yeah, oh four, that's the spark. That's
the spark he is.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
He's such a great driver of the basketball, attacks the hips,
beats Bobby Dirkin to the rim and simply looks in
that finish.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
If you're Bobby Durkin, there's gonna.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Be a lot of guys across the Big ten that have.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
A lot of speed, a lot of explosiveness.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
You've got to be able to keep guys in front
of you and defend without.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Following, you know, in in West think in Bloomington, Indiana
and Arbor fun places, East Lansing. That's what they're all
saying about Bobby Durbin.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Does.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
That's what they're all saying about Bobby Durbin. I love
Bobby Durkin.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
Durkin, but nonetheless, it is he does struggle to move
his fact. He's a transfer from Davidson Elite from Point Shooter. Yeah,
plays for US Elite three point Shooter, but defensively, when
it comes to guarding one on one, the feet are
a little a little slow.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
So tell us about your Big ten Network national debut, like,
you know, without getting too far into the weeds, how
did you prepare for it? How did you feel at
the shoot around? How did you feel during the game,
How did you feel after the game?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, yeah, I'll tell you.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
What's kind of funny with the whole bit is they're
playing green Bay, right, So this is a Green Bay
team who's picked last in the Horizon League. But it's
a border battle. It is a border battle. But the
Gophers were minus twenty nine and a half going into
that game. Wow, So my prep became less about the
game and more, Hey, when Minnesota is up twenty five,
what kind of backstories can we run on some guys?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So if you're sold on here one second, I can't
text about things like this. Yeah, but if he ever
sends you something like that that this individual team on
the comeback trail with the new coach at that filled
the tank, Are you kidding me? They're favored by thirty
points over anybody outside of a junior college.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
Team that thirty points of a Green Bay This is okay, Well,
this is a Green Bay team that played Saint Thomas
on Thursday and lost by almost thirty And this is
with all due respect, this is the respect.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
This is simply saying you're on the comeback trail. Your
coach is well respected, yes, well compensated. People believe in him,
and the belief is something it will happen. But that
doesn't mean it has to be three games into it, totally.
Bobby Durkin though.

Speaker 8 (06:44):
Bobby Durkin though, but he's got good players. Coach got leave.
He really does have good players.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
And it was four thousand. Oh it was ridiculous.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
Yeah, if you would if you would have sprinkled Green
Bay there and they would have found a way to
do it in overtime.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Overtime. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (06:57):
But anyways, like I mentioned, that was no but like
I mentioned earlier, like I'm doing so much prep of Hey,
there's a twenty nine year old on Green Bay who
was in the Navy for five years.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Can I do a story on him? Oh wait, yeah,
so there's all this stuff.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
That's my brain is flowing with and then I go
to the Saint Thomas versus Green Bay game on Thursday,
and I'm like, you know, this is a type of
situation where if Saint Thomas beats in by thirty, what
are the Gophers going to do to on?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
So that's what's going in my brain.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And with Green Bay, you're memorizing what is it, the phoenix,
The phoenix? Yeah, yeah, the phoenix. You're memorizing numbers and
body types.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
That's right, Lebron Thomas number twenty two, preston rooting. You're
a number two, so the whole bit, you know. And
then I fortunately get placed with my call who's been
with the Big ten Network since twent thousand and seven.
Him and Doug Gottlieb actually created esp and you back
in five he won the ESPN contest remember that rate
by that show?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
He won that No.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Four, So he's kind of immortality when it comes to
the Big ten network. So I felt really comfortable in
a really good spot. And then we got blessed with
an absolutely grinder of a game right one where we
thought Chauncey Willis hit a half court shot to win it,
but all was on his hands with about point two
on the on the ticker. So we go to overtime
and Minnesota cleans it up and Willis played for Minnesota.

(08:07):
He's our new Uh, he's a new point guard transfer
from Western Michigan. He was Mischi Michigan, mister basketball in one.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
But here's the question off that. Yeah, okay, your former
Maroon and Gold. Yes, you know back in my day,
which back in your day was you know, all like
that round seventy five back in my days ago.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
But but anyway, yeah, I loved it. But if it
had been unfurled from half court by a member of
the Phoenix, it still is a oh oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Wow, what a great moment for for so and so.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Tom Jerkin, Yeah yeah, former former announcer at Belmont Park
and Sarah Toga, he's been waiting for this all his life.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
It's still the same reaction is yeah, and that's It's
exactly right. Is I'm blessed to do these Gopher games.
I'm blessed with the platform that I got to be
way at this place. But hey, now I'm employed by
the Big Ten Network and i'm a you know, impartial
bias and I get to call a basketball game the
sport I love and and this game I got blessed
with Doug Gottlieb. So I'm spending forty five minutes after

(09:09):
their shoot around just you know, shooting the crap with
them and having a good time and just talking ball
and talk about a guy that is well respected in
his profession and does it really? Does it really at
a really high level? Did you say there was a
Lebron Thomas? That's right, Yeah, there certainly was Lebron Thomas.
He was a JUCO guy last year. He's a top
five point guard recruit out of the Division one JUCO

(09:30):
level and still trying to find his foot for the
Green Bay Phoenix.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
When did you, Pa, you're a little bit older than I,
When did you reach the age where you realized that
somebody that you had gotten to the point where somebody
that you watched when you were young is now inspiring
parents to name their children after. Because it's a and
Lebron's still in the league, by the way, but I'm
just taking three to Zho four. Well, obviously Lebron's got

(09:55):
to be like night. Lebron Thomas gotta be like nineteen
years old and he makes his debut. You and it's
what is Saint Mary's Catholic or whatever it was that
he was at and he made his debut with the Calves,
And now people are naming their children after Lebron and
that just hit me.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Now, I'm old. That's a great question.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I think when I considered in two thousand, when my
son Derek was born, uh, naming him Secretariat, you know,
because of his secretariat's progeny at that time was winning
every big race around the country, no doubt, So I
was thinking of naming him Secretariat Allen.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
So I'm like, damn, man, I'm old. Holy cows. It
was a couple of decades ago.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Actually with my son Derek, he was conceived on excuse me,
he was born. He was born on an October night,
Derek Jeter was beating the San Diego Padres in the
World Series Here we Go, so we weren't exactly sure
what name we were going to use, but Derek was
one of them in the mix. So, I mean Captain

(10:58):
Coole went out there right on the television and then
the hospital room.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And I'm like, well, he's Derek. At least he didn't
name him two.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
So yeah, it's uh, you know, there are many ways
to go with that in this day and age.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, that's funny. Were you looking up something? Am I
missing something?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I don't want a clip, I'm looking up something for
the rap.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Oh I thought you were looking up a money line
or something. My bad? All right? Three? Two?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
So maybe the Horizon League is stacked in Stoke this year.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I mean, you know, who knows, maybe Green.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Bay and the rest of the Horizon League, or you
know Belmont's in the Horizon League.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Right, that's a great question.

Speaker 8 (11:35):
I know it's like Milwaukee, Northern Kentucky, Youngstown State.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Some of those.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
All right, so we we missed twenty We had twenty
of thirty nine at the line.

Speaker 8 (11:45):
Yeah, it was twenty of thirty nine. Yeah, and it
was it was really bad down the stretch as well.
The starting center Robert by Hola, I think he was
one of five down the stretch. Kad Tyson, who was
eight for nine from the line, had four with under
thirty seconds left and only go one for four. So yeah,
in those situations, the rim gets a little tighter, PA,
and you're kind of under that, you know, bright light,

(12:08):
and you're stepping up to the line with the opportunity
to win the game and short free throws, you're short
arming in a little bit. But yeahn't twenty at thirty
nine is not good?

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I don't want to say.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I mean, it's twenty of thirty nine's just hideous on
paper and in reality so bad. But isn't that more
common in college hoops for free throws? I mean, it's
not like the NBA where you know, even some of
the big men now are at least creeping into the
seventies on a regular basis. I feel like every college
game I'm watching, you know, star point guard, whoever. It
is that shooting just in general in college from the

(12:39):
stripe is is that it leaves a little to be
requested or determined.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Hundred percent does.

Speaker 8 (12:45):
And I think that's one of the separators between the
two games, between the NBA game and the college game,
is especially in tight games you see at the college level,
following occurring earlier minute and a half, even two minutes
left in the game, to try to foul, to try
to go, you know, earn yourself more possessions, the whole bit.
In the NBA, you just you know, you got guys.

(13:05):
I know, we had the hack of shack type of
situation back.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
In the day.

Speaker 8 (13:08):
But now you have all these guys that just they
just go step to the line and they make it
because they've done it for so long and it's all
they do and they're professionals. But in the college game,
I think you're right, Nordal. You see it at an earlier
kind of time in the game, and it really does
extend games.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
When's your next game on television tomorrow Night's a big
ten plus games? Wait, Gophers play Chicago States around that's
at William's Arena, and then after that, I don't have
one until December fourteen. Yeah, well, when's your first game
against a team without a hyphen?

Speaker 8 (13:38):
December fourteenth? I think is a good game. That's that's
a crazy one right there. I love it though.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Why you said it's a crazy one to go a
nervous and movie, Well, the hyphen is just a crazy bit.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Greed Bay, Is there a hyphen there?

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well?

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, no, greed space.

Speaker 8 (13:53):
Bag Gardner, Webb Gardner dash web right, you're right on
that one.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
So I saw I was following you're well during the game,
I wasn't following your Twitter, but as part of as
part of prepping for p Fox two for you know,
I like you get into your Twitter on Monday morning,
Parker Fox two form and there are some tweets that
we're going to read here to the coclusion of the segment.

(14:18):
But first off your tweets. I decided to do something
that you know, it's given the current lot in.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Life for the Minnesota Vikings all.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Right where they are right now, which would be a
last place operation within the division. Yep, it's it's a
last place team within the division. So therefore, if the
season were to end right now, they would play a
last place schedule next year. So what I got here
this morning. I don't know why I did this, but

(14:50):
I decided to look at, you know, who are the
opponents for next year, because most are set and as
are the destinations. So if the season ended right now,
in not in order, but here is what your schedule
would look like for next year. You're ready, I'm ready, Detroit,
Green Bay, Chicago, here and there the Vikings hook the

(15:11):
AFC East and the NFC South. So therefore we would
have at US Bank Stadium Buffalo and Miami, Atlanta and Carolina,
and then at home you get the two last place
finishers from the NFC East and the NFC the Yeah,

(15:32):
the NFC South, so New Orleans. No New Orleans would
be there. You get the last place finisher from the East.
So you get the Giants. I'm not sure these I'm
not a missed part of it, one, two, three, but nevertheless, Buffalo, Miami, Atlanta,
Carolina Giants here you get the NFC South. So you're
at Detroit, Green Bay, in Chicago, you're at the Jets
and at the Patriots. Yep, you're at New Orleans, you're

(15:55):
at Tampa Bay, and you're at Arizona.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Am I missing anything? Might miss anything in there?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, so you're gonna miss four. Yeah, fourth place NFC East,
you nailed it. That's the Giants, fourth place AFC South.
So that would be the Titans.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I believe. There we go. That's the one I left out, Titans.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
So that but this this year the team will get
nine at home, eight on the road. They had nine
on the road this year because of those European clipping penalties.
So then put Tennessee here. Okay, so how about this
Detroit here, Detroit, Chicago Green This is if they finished
last week.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'll just say it. James in Detroit, Green Bay Chicago.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Also here, Buffalo, Miami, Tennessee, Atlanta, Carolina Giants, and New
Orleans Saints. You're at the three division teams, and then
at the Jets, met Life, at Gillette, at Bourbon Street,
at Tampa Bay, and at Arizona. Who's our quarterback? I
don't know, man McCarthy. I mean, I'm talking for the

(16:54):
Vikings next year. Oh yeah, JJ McCarthy. Why wouldn't it be?
I was just curious if it was nine or JJ?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Are trying to move on? Why would you ask?

Speaker 8 (17:00):
Well, you're the one, You're the one the next to
your schedule.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Ah, I'm just looking if it finished right now.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
So I'm not giving up on Bobby Durkin. Why are
you trying to give up on JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, I'm not giving up on Tom Durban, Kevin Durkin
or JJ McCarthy. But uh, with the tweeting yesterday, Oh man,
we got let's see JJ going to put on a
clinic today. Watch number nine hashtag skull two hours later
at Parker Fox twenty four. The inaccuracy is actually becoming

(17:32):
concerning those two hours later. This is and he was
very inaccurate early in the game especially.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
So JJ going to put on a clinic today watch
number nine.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
I had a hat tag skull.

Speaker 8 (17:48):
I had a feeling when I woke up in the morning,
and I don't know what gave me that feeling, but
I was so excited, and I always am excited to
listen to you and to watch Vikings football. And I
drove home at half time, so I got your bit, Hey,
let's just get this thing a half tight after the
hooked ladder from Jets to Aaron Jones there, which was
an awesome bit, But nonetheless, I was so excited. I

(18:10):
just had this feeling about nine because of what he
did at Chicago early in the season and for for
a quarter, yes, but I was like, hey, how can
we build off that? What did you see from the
defense that you liked? Like, where do you go? And partner?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It was a division game, I know.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
So therefore Minnesotans who care and get sports like you,
or non Minnesotans like me, you know, who have been
here long enough to really enjoy what I do with
the team and how the fans react to things with
the team. Division games are different, they are. This was
not Gardner Webb, this was not Alcorn State. This was

(18:46):
not Nick Clifford and Colorado State. Okay, this was not
Shador Sanders and the Colorado Buffalo zuh Okay, this is
a Division game. Yeah, I was up at four fifty
five yesterday. I was so excited for this game that
was fired up, and well then I pissed myself off
because I started memorizing numbers and body types of the

(19:07):
Bears defensive players at about five forty five, and I
fall in love with Jackson Dark's running. So then I
get to the stadium, I'm like talking to people on
the sideline before the game.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
What do you think of this? What do you think
of this?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Nobody liked him, and it's so they're not going to
tell me exactly why they didn't like my take. Then
you watch the game and it's clear keeping him in
the pocket was a request in that game. Yeah, I'm
watching Jackson Dart look like a combination of Mike Vick,
Lamar Jackson and fran Tarkenton against these guys. And then
I put it that way to somebody so God's cartoon

(19:39):
character could get them to laugh in a tense situation.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Well then they boxed me up. No, Well, yeah, you
mean the second time he.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Did that, and he was then lost for the game,
and maybe you know he's gonna he got hurt.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
It's true.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, that's right, A good point. All right, have
a good day, best of luck. But I was a
little surprised JJ didn't run a little more yesterday.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah I was too.

Speaker 8 (19:59):
I also pa the drops were concerning as well, right,
like t J. Hockinson right in the hands, Jordan Andison
right in the hands.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I'd love to not really because it's not a weekly thing. Oh,
you're right, Like the false starts was so stupid they.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Had won yesterday.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, you know, so, hey, this is the most false
starting team. It just happens eighteen times every game. It
happens every game, but it happens every game to a
lot of teams.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 8 (20:23):
And you're I think you're you hit the nail on
the head right as there was eight last week and
there's one this week. So obviously it was a it
was a topic of discussion in practice, And so what's
your topic of discussion this?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
See tripping on the drops? Yeah, yeah, they're going to happen.
All right, Well how about this? You know you you
tweeted genuine message to Vikings coaches, genuine curiosity, why even
kick to them and the lowy return, like, just book

(20:52):
it through the back of the end zone and trust
your defense facts.

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Okay, here I am with this take right. So I
was on the opposite side of that take fire. I
was sitting with my dad and my dad goes, don't
kick it to them, kick it through the end zone
and make them go earn it. And I said to him,
I said, we're not concerned about the return. I said,
you're both wrong, and I'm about ready. Where's the right answers?
The right answer?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Well, because I have, I have factual data.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
So what transpired, as I said during the call, by design.
It has to be by design, because you plan moments
like that so that maybe he mishit it, but that
was the design. A guy who, by the way, had
two kick return touchdowns in his career, including one for
one oh three. And everybody in the league knows Devin

(21:39):
Duvernet and Josh Blackwell are two explosive returner very good.
But that doesn't mean that you can just cower. Okay,
just cower. And now if you boot it out of
the end zone, that is antithetical to cocksure would be
the wrong word competitive. Arrogancet the No, we're not going
to back off and just give it to you at

(22:00):
thirty five. Ye your kicker can hit from fifty five,
playing not to lose. Have at thirty.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Five forty five, thirty five.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Okay, so you got fifty seconds and three timeouts to
go thirty yards.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, that's the key there is they had timeouts left
you forget about that.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
You got fifty seconds and three timeouts against a defense
that's played twice as many plays as you, to just
go thirty yards.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Okay, well, damn it.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Challenge them, but don't challenge them by kicking it to them. Yeah,
draw the line man. No, don't talk out of both
No not. You don't talk out of both sides of
your mouth. Yeah, okay, and we can converse and we
can debate, and we can have any kind of conversation
you want. Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth,
which I read and heard a lot yesterday. Put the

(22:45):
defense on the field, let them do their thing. Well,
then why not put the kick covers team and let
them do their thing. It's true, I mean I got
more defensive l examples this year than I do kick
coverage examples. Now, granted, the defense is playing more, so
I don't like that idea either, kicking it out, putting
them on the thirty five. I think it's weak. I
think it's weak minded and week of heart, what happened? Okay,

(23:06):
I don't like that either. I don't want to kick
the ball to Devin DuVernay in a normal kick, And
if Kevin O'Connell's sitting right there and saying the same thing,
I don't want to, Okay, because he's really good, and
sure you bottle him up, bottled him up during the
course of the game. That guy's really good and he
has been for a long time, all the way back
to the Ravens days. Here's what I would suggest. Love
it the exact same thing you did earlier in the

(23:30):
game when you dribbled the freaking ball hard like a
knuckleball and made DuVernay take a knee in the end zone.
They came out to the twenty, So is it an
or he might come out because it was close. So
I don't necessarily want to hoist the white flag and
submit and tell my kick coverage guys. When we get
back to practice. Yeah, I really believe in you. Yes,

(23:52):
I really really believe in you. Tyler Baddy. Just do
the same thing or be good. I don't want that either.
What I want is what I know. Work during the game,
hard kick with a little twist, knuckleball, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing,
Maybe you get a stranger bounce this time. And if
they happen to kneel on it in the end zone, well,

(24:15):
now they started at the twenty thirty forty fifty, forty
thirty five.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Now you got to go fifty for a.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Guy that just missed a kick as well, you got
to go fifty in fifty with three of them.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I can handle that. Yeah, I wonder how consistent he
was though at that. If that's what comes out of it,
what do you mean.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Well, I believe Reikerd has missed that while trying to
do that, and then you get the ball at the forty.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
So I'm just curious.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
If no, you get when it bounces in the field
of play and then you down it in the end zone,
get it at the twenty, and That's what I'm looking for.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
But if he misses it and kicks it short, they
get the ball at the forty.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, that's your plan, scared, So I mean, if you're well.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
How consistent is That's what I was asking, though.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't have that answer, So I don't have sports
Bureau Will rekerd knuckleball kicks over the last two years,
back to Alabama, back to his high school in front
of me.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
I was merely offering a thought process.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
If you're making that decision, and let's say you're seventy
percent to the good.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Here's the answer. I made the decision in the game
and it worked. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Absolutely, So that's that's my context from that moment.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
By that game and in that spot game situation, they choose,
I'm saying, they never choose not to do it.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
He's never done it in that spot.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, you know, with less than a minute ago and
you're trying to ice a game.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
So I do.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
Agree one hundred percent though with the stop playing scared.
It's something that I've seen throughout my career and watching
our pro teams. Here is the moment you start playing
scary and you play not to lose, always lose. And
I said thirty five, it's forty, you know. So I'm
glad Orto said that because now we're going forty fifty forty.
I mean we're close seconds a three time out, three timeouts.

(25:53):
That's a non player. Yeah, that is a non player
in the equation. It's one of two things.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Kick it to him and play coverage and recognize he's
really really good at what he does. And by the way,
Josh Blackwell almost got one on you yesterday too, and
he has a punt return touchdown of like one hundred
and one yards, so they got good returners up and
down this thing.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Or do what Riker did earlier.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
In the game and do it again, you know, and
assumably this is something that you practice repeatedly.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
So can you go back to the touchdown and be like,
because I couldn't even celebrate the touchdown, I was like,
we scored too early?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
No, are you kidding me? After being down sixteen three
into the last quarter. It's true, but fifty seconds with
three timeouts? Is there any thought to that?

Speaker 6 (26:37):
Well?

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I was.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
We talked about that a bit on fan line yesterday.
I know we're behind it, but it's just like, how
do you get cute when you're down there?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
You know, you're all that you call the right freaking play, which,
by the way, on that throw, you can watch it.
Not a perfect, not a good game by the kid,
but the way that he manipulated and Sean Wright to
find Addison there, Well, maybe we should have run it
a couple of times, make him use a couple of timeouts.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
And so we got to dagger it and get the
freaking points and take the freaking lead when we can.
We're not getting cute, totally fine with how things transpire.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
And as the steps come with the scars on the
other side of it, there are glorious, wonderful moments like
a lot in that Lions game in fourth quarter Soldier Field,
and what Nordo just said, I mean he stared that
safety right over to Justin Jefferson and then swung and
went to the single coverage and.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Made a great throw, throw it to the sideline and
throw it back to the center of the field.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Well, that's part of the analysis. If you're throwing a
blanket on McCarthy as to through five, you know, through five,
let's just we have to have a conclusive opinion. He's
either belongs or he doesn't belong. We'll put that in
the equation. Good seeing you, talk to you Wednesday. All right, man,
I love you too, Parker Fox, Let's call Let's call
the Sultan around the corner chat Border Battle in kV.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Here it is third down, New York's starts ago in

sets throws left side of the ends up, Slapdad, let
sepond by the kid.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
Oh Heaven.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Williams delivers in the left corner of the.

Speaker 1 (28:15):

Sinekon joins nine to noon weekly as part of the

(28:37):

here order battles you want to learn more about Super
Special Sinny the Sultan of Smug at TC head Cheese
got a podcast two Packer review as part of the
iHeart Audio Family, So I'm sure you understand the truncated
nature of today. We'll see each other Friday, Buffalo Wild Wings,

(28:59):
Blaine eleven o'clock spend probably thirty minutes together then right.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yes, sir, okay, so you're in. I'm in cool. The
running back, Josh Jacobs, how is he.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Sounds like it's not too bad. No structural damage of
the MRI results were released in the last thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Day to day.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
My guess is just thinking aloud here, I doubt you
play Sunday that they play four days later at Detroit.
Maybe he misses these two division games and he's right
for the Bears in three weeks, but could have been
a lot worse. Can't afford not to have him down
the stretch, so good news. I'm Jacobs.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
What about the quarterback in his shoulder.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Waiting to hear I'm not gonna dismiss this one. You know,
sometimes adrenaline gets you through a game. He hit that
left shoulder when he got tackled hard when he should
have probably slid but didn't and ran into the tunnel.
Malik Willis leave the touchdown drove and kind of gets
the offense jump started, and Love comes in and saves
the day late. But until I hear that left shoulders clear, man,

(30:01):
I'm gonna be a little bit worried because you just
never know, right, it shows up the next day. So
he delivered a game winning comeback, fourth time on the road,
fourth quarter comeback this season. So hopefully he's okay.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
If Willis has to play, will you consider that serendipity?
I always love that. Wait, I was just kidding. Okay,
three two. Lucas van Ness feels like he's going to
come back this week. Do you feel it?

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah? I think so. He practiced limited last week. He
was asked Friday if you thought he would play. He said, mentally,
I'm ready. I got to prove the coaches physically. Am
I think I am? But I'll be ready when they
want me. It sounds like next Sunday. I've been two
games the next eleven days. They're huge for Sean. Gary
was kind of a no show yesterday and had some

(30:47):
so the snaps taken away by Edin Barray. So see
Lucas thats fresh in there and see if he can
get after that quarterback.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Buffalo Wild Wings Blaine feasting Friday at eleven o'clock for
a border battle.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
See you there.

Speaker 4 (31:00):

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Until the Morrows, home of the Minnesota Vikings in egan
to get Ko at eleven o'clock. Never come, then we
get to see how that goes. No, sometimes the old
cartoon character comes in there with the things designed in
the pros that don't exactly work as well as the

(31:41):
old announcer.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Thinks they're gonna work.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
You got you got your scripted plays. I got a
scripted play if they're all scripted. But you're also ready
back pocket unscripted. Oh yeah, necessary, maybe later in the
equation if you have to pivot at all during the chat.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Here's an example last week on the eight ball starts. Uh,
it's you know, in the locker room and with some
national reports maybe even local and stuff. It's you know,
where the Ravens mocking the cadence. Were they doing something
at the line of scrimmage? And you know your your
father Bill, a former thirty year FBI agent. Do we

(32:15):
need to get the FBI Bill on the case too,
Uh to unveil what the truth is?

Speaker 3 (32:25):
All right? So McCarthy, what do you think about McCarthy
against the Bears. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
So anyway, Jalen Redman really has just kind of made himself.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Into a weekly b I bill against the against the
Cadence stealers, the Jaden's, Redmond and Naylor. Yeah, which one
do you want to start with? It's it's not dealer,
it's not dealer's choice. It's coaches choice. Which one you
want to have a game on that?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
That might be?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
That might be the answer tomorrow. Coaches choice, Take your pick.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Who do I like? Uh?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
A fan line everyone verbally accosted. Just ten games in,
we're all exhausted, we're waiting for a pass and when
the kid lofts it kick return color l then we
lost it. Is this kid actually getting better? I mean
some tough days not exactly read letter and we're watching
Nixon May and they're the trend setters. Watch out for

(33:41):
the host man. He's a heavy better Oh cool, team's
just four and six and consistency drops and the kids
throwing eight picks. They're only paying, sure, and we're taking
our licks, but it feels more like weekly kicks in that. Well, Okay,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
