Speaker 1 (00:00):
All righty Now the nine to noon radio presentation rolls
on at f M one hundred point three k f
a M. Yesterday, we we mentioned in an on the
fly truncated kind of a drive by bikes bikes, that
that somebody approached me at Canterbury Park before a race
(00:22):
call adjacent to the paddock, very very very kind individual
and we called it Fira fairness in Rube act, Fairness
in Rube act. Because my man rolled up to me
and and he he was like, you know, what do
you think of M Queens? What do you think of
M Queens? And I said, can't wait for the season.
(00:44):
Think it should be fun, should be Green Bay game one.
And started from there and I could tell that he
that he was angling for something. It ended up being
a quarterback related question that that I thought was very cool.
But you know, we we we had to we had
to jump through some hoops. We we had to go
through some gyrations and or verbal We just met each
(01:08):
other historyonics before we could get there. Because he's like, yeah,
the uh Flores defense, it's uh with with with those
two new defensive tackles, it's it's gonna jump on everybody
like a plague. And I'm like, like a what he said,
like a plague And I said, like a plague? You
mean plague? Yeah, it it. It should have an ameba
(01:31):
effect to it, where the problems are coming from unforeseen
and unscalted angles, like a plague. I completely understand that.
And he said, Uh, you don't call races down here,
do you? I said, I said no, He's like you
you don't. You don't call races next to the paddock.
(01:52):
And I said, next to the paddock.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I don't call races inner by the paddock. It's there's
a there's there's a box box upstairs, and and that's
where I go call races. It's not in the paddock.
It's in the paddock. And he said, oh, my bad,
My bad, my bad. I'm I'm from Oregon. Uh so
therefore you know it's I'm not really used to paddocks.
(02:16):
And I said, well, I've never been to that part
of the I've never been to that state. But Oregon,
Oregon is a wonderful play It sounds like a wonderful
place to visit. It sounds beautiful. Then the uh, the
the fire a hit fairness and rubaced Uh the the
the individual. The man asked me, Hey, dude, do you
(02:41):
think Kyler Murray in any way is playing for his career?
And I said, like, like, if things don't go well
this year, he's done excommunicated from the National Football League.
And he said, no, not done, but like his starting career.
And I said, Ay, that's a that has some juicy
(03:02):
appeal to it. I think I'll write that out. Nice
to meet you. I think the guy's name was Marty.
And if you're going back to visit family in Oregon
or as you say Oregon as we chat next to
the paddock or as you say, pad Oc, hopefully everything
works out beautifully for you and enjoy the races. And
(03:23):
thank you very much for Thank you very much for
the question, because I'm gonna write this thing out. I
like that question. Is Kyler Murray in any way playing
for any part of his career? If he does start
Week one for the Minnesota Vikings. Now, Kyler in his career,
(03:43):
I believe through this year, all right through the twenty
twenty sixth season, will have made two hundred six million,
seven hundred ninety one thousand, seven hundred eighty four dollars
through the first eight years of his career. So Kyler
Murray has enough money even after taxes, Kyler Murray has
(04:07):
enough money to not care, or Kyler Murray has enough
money for the project not to work. So put that
shiny toy piece to the side. But just know that
that he you know, that's the situation with him. That's
in no way saying he won't care or the project
(04:27):
won't work.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But this, this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Absolutely is a project, no matter how it is my
opinion obviously, but no matter how Kyler Murray, Kevin O'Connell, now,
Nolan Teasley, no matter how anybody wants to look at it,
I firmly believe this absolutely is a project. And the
(04:51):
head coach here has been quite good with veteran projects.
Now Darnold is one of the great high examples of that. Honestly,
in the history of the National Football League. I mean,
you can go back and find top five picks that
were kind of fizzling out, then all of a sudden
not only found the right spot, but found the right spot,
(05:15):
won fourteen games, had a lot to do with it,
entered the MVP conversation for a hot tick, and gave
you a great chance to get to the Super Bowl,
and then he leaves and he wins the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But the reclaiming of the reclamation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Part of the project was here with Kevin O'Connell and
with this coaching staff. So Darnold is truly one of
the great high end examples of a project landing in
Minnesota and reclaiming whatever it had that got it there
in the first place.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Carson Wentz, how about this?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Carson Wentz signs August twenty fourth of last year, and
he beat Cincinnati three weeks later August twenty fourth. It's like,
here's your playbook. Three weeks later he beat a National
Football League team, having absorbed the playbook and the intricate
(06:18):
nature of the nuance and the tentacles to each play
that comes with said playbook.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I mean, that's amazing that you get this Tolstoy voluminous
playbook and now you're beating a National Football.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
League team three weeks later. And for Wentz.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then he went on to win a couple of games
and gave the Vikings a chance against Pittsburgh in Dublin
and against Philadelphia. Carson Wentz fast learner. But the teachers
matter here too, is Kyler a fast learner. Is Kyler
Murray a fast learner? The same teachers are here and
(06:59):
are proven, So ponder that, And in what ways if
any is Kyler Murray playing for his career? But playing
for his career could mean if this doesn't work and
you get benched, nobody will ever start you again? It
(07:22):
could mean that I'm not saying that's the case, but
if somebody, if Marty from Oregon rolls up with some
fire affairness and rubac wondering if Kyler Murray at this
point is playing.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
For any form an any.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Part of his career, well, this is part of the context,
wondering if he's a fast learner. In what ways if
any is Kyler Murray playing for any part of his career?
And playing for any part of his career could mean
if this doesn't work and you get benched or you
don't win the job into the Green Bay game.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Will anybody ever start you again?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
If if I'm Kyler Murray and I choose to become
a blank slate, here.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They're there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
These are some things that I would be pondering if
I'm Kyler Murray and here it is here it is,
I'm a blank slate present, tense, past, time is behind.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Don't fall for the same old line. I'm a blank slate.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'd be pondering things like this, like if I'm Kyler,
I'd be like, I've been the best at what I
do most of my life, but now I'm not. Why
am am I capable of at some point next season
(08:54):
which would be the upcoming season training camp within a month,
am am I capable at some point of that equation
entering MVP conversation like Sam Darnald did here a couple
of years ago. The arms not as accurate or as
(09:14):
strong as some others, and that would include Sam Darnald.
And this offense is not constructed to run quarterbacks like
Baltimore or say Buffalo. So if I'm Kyler, I'd be like, so,
given I have been the very best there is at
what I do most of my life, and now I'm not,
(09:39):
And nobody in the universe anywhere even ranks me as
a top ten quarterback in the league, how can I
show the Vikings, coaches, teammates, and fans I am that guy.
I just have been lost for a little while in
a football culture antithetical in several ways to the way
(10:03):
things are done here.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Now with Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Even even if he completely fails, which he won't, ninety
five percent chance somebody wants him as a backup next
year and there and next year being twenty twenty seven.
And there even will be some who think, quote, they
(10:32):
couldn't do it over there in Minnesota. But we're smarter
and more squared away than them. So watch what we
can do with Kyler Murray end quote. I mean, this
is the shield. There's arrogance to it, there's one upsmanship,
there's the proverbial chip on the shoulder at all times.
So yeah, I mean, if if things don't work here
(10:53):
for Kyler Murray, for whatever the reason, there will be
others who are like, no, no, no, no, no, I
absolutely hold the key to opening the door to this
young man becoming one of the if not the very best,
at what he does, like everybody told him he was,
(11:14):
or perhaps he was for a majority of his life.
The the what part of his career is on the
line narrative means entering means his starting career. So with
with my man next to the paddock, I think his
name was Marty from Oregon, you know, when when he
(11:36):
asked the question that that's kind of what we we
that that's kind of the conclusion we got to with
his question is that he's wondering and maybe other fans
are wondering too, that the the part of Kyler Murray's
career that potentially is on the line would involve his
starting quarterback career. Kyler Murray even said it during or
(12:01):
around minicamp. I believe it was after the first day
of miniicam. He had a day he threw two consecutive
picks to start practice and didn't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Great all of that practice.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Now, after the practice, Kyler said to the media something
along the lines of quote, I'm used to getting all
the reps in practice, and that's not the case here. Correct,
But that's correct. But would it be the case if
(12:39):
he came in day by day, opening eyes and doing
amazing things where coaches and players are like, he's a sponge.
Kyler Murray is a sponge just absorbing every nuance the
playbook has to offer. Again, consider Carson Wentz August twenty fourth,
(13:00):
twenty twenty five, joins the Minnesota Vikings. Three weeks later,
he beats the Cincinnati Bengals in a National Football League
regular season game that has some sponge related retention to it.
Now with Kyler, and I'm speculating here, I got no
steam on this, and that's fine a because absence makes
(13:22):
the heart grow fonder. But b I and we all
get to be surprised together. But I would bet Kyler
starts training camp in a few weeks as the one
and gets all or a majority of the right reps.
And perhaps that's where the rubber meets the road, but
(13:43):
there's no confirmation on that. And by the way, let's
not forget Brian Flores defensive training camp, be Fuddled Cousins
and Wentz and Darnold, and all three of those guys
are scholars of game. The Ravens joints, the joint practices
(14:05):
with the Baltimore Ravens, the old ruff and tumble Baltimore Ravens.
That is where it absolutely will be required for the
Minnesota Vikings number one quarterback to look the part and
make plays when the Baltimore Ravens are in town like
(14:29):
a month in small change from now. Personally speaking, I
cannot believe head coach Kevin O'Connell is going to want
to have a quarterback battle at that point of the equation.
I mean, I would think the starter, the one, the
super special one.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Would have to be settled by then.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now again, Kyler has earned more than two hundred million
dollars during his career, yet is at a point where
a new regime in Arizona decided, we we'd rather argue
with Jacoby Brissette's agent over his value than have you around.
(15:14):
So they gave Kyler Murray thirty plus million to leave.
Personally speaking, if I'm him, that's a look in the
mirror moment, like why, I mean, the cash is cool
before or after taxes. Thank you to a certain extent,
I earned it, But you want to give me all that?
You want to give me ninety ninety five percent of
(15:35):
when I'm owed and then and then I get to
leave and go somewhere else, all right, So that's a
personally speaking, that would be a look in the mere moment.
Does does Kyler Murray care about league cred? I wouldn't,
but if he does, there is an immense amount of
(15:57):
that to be regained. Does Kyler Murray care about starting
that's a ten of ten yes. I'd guess that's a
ten of ten yes. So what's Kyler Murray playing for
is his career as a starter truly on the line.
(16:18):
Is he more apt to go lights out or flicker
like a flame holding on for dear life against a
stiff breeze? How much pressure is the coaching staff feeling
to make this work? This is the single most riveting
(16:40):
Vikings training camp story and single most important facet toward
the team winning a bunch of games. The reinforce The
reinforcements have positives, for sure. The quarterbacks room is deep,
and I like it, and I think you should like
it too. As a crafty veteran with cunning and guile
(17:04):
who picks up a playbook goes sponge on it, beat
Cincinnati three weeks later. Then you got the first round
pick into his third year from Michigan, went to ford Field,
exorcized ford Field and Lions Jamiir Gibbs related demons and
beat the kiddies. And he but he's only started at
ten games. But Kyler, Kyler Murray, He he is one
(17:32):
capable of mesmerizing the masses. There there are some that
there are some learned football people in the game, as
I've learned after Marty put me on this bit.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Thank you, Marty, Bema Fairness and Marty Act.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
There are some learned, scholarly football minds who do believe
Kyler Murray is playing for the starting portion of his career.
Is he more of a reclamation project than Sam Darnald was.
The answer is yes for sure, because unlike Darnald, Kyler
(18:12):
Murray wasn't permitted to take starter snaps up to training
camp or take all of the starter snaps up to
training camp. Sam Sam, the man who used to play
on the fam, got by far the Lion's share of
the off season work a starter would receive. Kyler didn't,
(18:32):
and the last time we heard him speak, it's fair
to say that was not his preference.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So what does he do with it?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
If and or? Let me think this out, So what's
Kyler Murray going to do with it? If and or
when he gets to training camp and all of this
is in front of him, are there going to be
cut reps in training camp? And with Kevin O'Connell and
(19:10):
the Viking staff, how they can handle this. I cannot
see O'Connell using the vital time training camp provides to
have Murray and McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Go nose to nose down to the wire. In a
match race for the money.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But I might be wrong, and I don't know where
dot Com Tom Tom Pelisero, NFL Network, ESPN's NFL network,
whatever it's called these days.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know where he was, but like it.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Was vast and men, there were giant trees, and I
think there were mountains, and so it looked like he
filed this little report with somebody, ESPN, the Rich Eisen Show,
whatever abroad, and I saw it on social media yesterday.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It was a short clip.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But Tom Pelisero is as plugged into the Minnesota Vikings
as anybody you'll ever meet. And when he shares, he
shares with honesty. But he lays it out in a
way we all can understand kind of what's happening to
a certain extent inside the building. And to paraphrase dot
(20:19):
Com Tom.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You know it.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
He did not have a conclusive answer to what's going
to happen with this quarterback situation when training camp begins
in less than a month. What if it is Murray
and McCarthy down to the wire together, knows to knows?
In this match race for the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback money.
(20:42):
The personally speaking, the hope is Kyler Murray is in
his playbook every single day in preparation for what's coming.
And there is a quarterback running aspect of the equation
him nobody has seen yet, not at mini camp, not
(21:06):
at organized team activities when media was permitted to be there.
Oh it's there. I mean, I've said it before. This
this man runs like the wind.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
He is one of.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The greatest natural runners as a quarterback I've seen since
Mike Vick. And and that's because when when he gets
past the line of scrimmage and he knows he's going
to make the linebacker or the safety miss, because that's
what he does. God gifted him that way. When you
when you watch these runs back, one of the one
(21:38):
of the wonderful things I like about it when Kyler
Murray runs is his head's up, his eyes are down
the field, and he's always looking for the next set
of ankles to break, So he's not necessarily looking at
the guy in front of him. He has him beat,
he knows he has him beat. He's looking at the
next guy he wants to beat him and break his
ankles along the way. The running aspect of the equation
(22:00):
is a very very potent part of this potion that
is going to be special. But if the consistent passing
fails to be what is required, Kyler, the creator and
the offense are gonna have a little problem. They the Vikings,
(22:26):
believe they have an answer to that problem and an
answer for the test, and it's the new fangled running
game and the schemes delivered and assumedly designed by new
assistant head coach Frank Smith, who is bally Hood And
(22:49):
all the letters are all caps, starting with B bally
Hood all caps. This guy's bally Hood, very very well
respected in the league circles for what he has brought
here after being an offensive coordinator for Mike McDaniel in Miami,
Mike McDaniel formerly offensive coordinator for Next Level Shanny in
San Francisco. So we got used check sprinting over there,
(23:12):
we got guards pulling over there, we got Juwan Jennings
who now is with us blocking down the field by design.
So I'm very excited to see how impactfully the Minnesota
Vikings run with schemes and ideas for a newfangled running
game assumably delivered and in part designed by new assistant
(23:36):
head coach Frank Smith.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
How much will that help Kyler.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
How much is that part of the equation when it
comes to is Kyler Murray in any way playing for
any form of his career, and that would include his
starting career here, there or everywhere. The running aspect is key.
It's important because he's good at it. He's very good
at it, and deep has become deflated when it's like
(24:02):
second and nine or third and third and seven, and
you know, you go four wide and you got the
quarterback under center or out of the shotgun, and and
you know they decide they're going to play man defense,
and Kyler sees it or a quarterback season, and he
decides to run, and he gets twelve yards and gets
a first down. When quarterbacks run for first downs on
(24:23):
second or third and long, debilitating, frustrating people getting so
sad because they didn't see it coming. And it's antithetical
to how most teams consistently on average get first downs.
Kyler will get you a lot in the running game.
How much of it will be by design, how much
(24:45):
of it will play into Kyler the reclamation project, as
Kyler the creator looking to give this team his very best,
because he's been considered the very best a majority of
his life, and if I'm him, I want to I
want to rejoin that covenant. I want I want to
(25:06):
be considered one of the very very very best again.
So I came to a team that has a coaching
staff that took a reclamation project named Sam Darnold and
made him what one of the very very best in
the league that year? So good, so he gave him
one hundred million dollars to head Northwest and win a
Super Bowl and party with the Lombardi So it's possible.
(25:30):
It's right in front of him. Super excited to follow it.
Minnesota Vikings training camp twenty twenty six is one of
the more fascinating we've had in a while, for sure
because of the new kids on the defensive line, Banks
and Citrus. But Kyler Murray has some shiny toy to
(25:51):
him and he is a legit reclamation project in search
of saving a starting career. And Kyler Murray well very
much could hold the key to high end Minnesota Vikings
(26:11):
offensive success. And Nine to Noon cannot wait to see
it develop. We'll be back after this.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is nine to Noon. I'm a fan from the
one eight hundred. Ask Gary Trapp.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Nine to Noon needs to crown a Northern Fire talkback
champion before we say goodbye. So let's empty the talk
back contraption and see what Roote Nation has up its
tattered sleeve.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Good morning, Pa and Nordo.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
My concern with Kyler is that he absolutely falls out
this year. Here we are four to extend the contracts
because we're not going to make the Donald mistake again
and let him get away, and then he becomes complacent
and the narratives of video games and blackluster attitude, laziness
(27:14):
creep in and we're stuck with mediocrity for five years.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Dang didn't even ask for a Kyler talk back and
got one. Well, no, I see it's it's I think
you boxed yourself up there a little bit by saying
the concern is Kyler Murray has an amazingly good year,
a very good year, then I'd be willing to just start.
(27:39):
If he's the full time starter, I'd be willing to
start with, Hey, I'll take the amazingly good year and
then deal with what's what's next for him from a
contractual standpoint. And and you know, the the phobia or
the fear of having somebody you played a major part
(28:01):
into turning things around for him, all right, I mean
Nordo said it many years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's it was the uh.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Fool me once, shame on, fool me twice. Well, they
say something like that down in Texas. But that un again. Yeah,
that that would play that that'd be fine and and
and the reason it wouldn't really concern me is because
(28:32):
Kyler would be staying in this culture with these players
and with these coaches. So, you know, the the genesis
of the talker was what part, if any, is Kyler
Murray playing for his career?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And it really I mean if he completely bombs out,
which he won't, gets benched and then is gone, it's
ten of ten, somebody signs him as a backup because
with the arrogant shield, they all think they can find
some potion, some secret sauce that others don't have, and
(29:10):
darn it, we're gonna be the one that turns things around.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, my worry in that regard would be less that
you have this amazing season. I'd love to have an
amazing season. My biggest worry as of this moment is that,
you know, we get far down the road in training
camp and we're still where we're at right now, that
we're neither has truly differentiated.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'm starting to think about that, and I didn't you know,
it's it's like I just said in the last segment,
dot Com Tom, Tom pelisaro as good as it gets
when it comes to handling opinions or breaking news with
the NFL, specifically the Vikings, and he's on vacation. And
I saw this little social media clip yesterday with dot
(29:51):
Com Tom where he laid it out like maybe up
to the Ravens joints there could be a one two
one one a battle for the starting job. I just
can't believe that's how Kevin O'Connell would want it to go.
Doesn't mean it won't go that way, but you're you're
coming off mini camp where you know, like I said
(30:14):
very early in that in in in that monologue, that
in the first day of mini camp, Kyler's first two
passes were picked and he had a bad he had
a bad camp.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
He had a he had a bad day at camp. Yeah,
that's the only way to put him.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
After paraphrasing, he was interviewed by by assembled members of
the media and he was like, I'm used to taking
all the snaps.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I'm used to being the starter.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
So therefore this this paraphrasing and you know, kind of
adding to it, this this cut snap thing ain't helping me.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That. That's the big advantage.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Darnold when he got here, even with McCarthy as a rookie,
that's the big advantage. Sam, the man who used to
play on the fan head is I'm pretty sure he
got a majority of the right reps in the off season.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Look what happened. That's not the case right now. It's perplexing.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Back to soccer, Hea ortal Aaron here in Cottage grill,
I mean, what else do you say? It's nothing short
of disappointing. You know, we weren't expecting them to beat
Spain in the quarter finals. They had an opportunity to
inspire a whole new generation, show what they can do
against Belgium and then hey, you know what, play an
awesome match against Spain, leave us all inspired, and instead
they dropped a big fat l. You know, the hockey team,
(31:32):
what they did back in the Olympics was phenomenal, and
soccer had the opportunity to do when they dropped it.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Do what else to say?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You want to watch her here in l and maybe
people did. And Okay, the the the pre halftime and
postgame show on Fox, is it Thiery Henry, Thiery Henri, Yeah,
say it again, Thiery Henri, Tieri Henri and Ibra Hima
(32:00):
bitch is Laton Ibrahimovitch there we go. I mean, you
listen to those smug guys. I mean it's I enjoyed
their coverage and they didn't outwardly come out. I'm not
saying they were rooting against the USA, but if you
believe the world looks down its proverbial nose at the
(32:21):
United States of America and soccer program like pad it
on the top of the head, you're a good boy. Yeah,
that's a nice victory there. Those two could not have
been anymore. Well, yes, yeah it was. I mean it
was coming. I don't know what all of you were watching,
but everybody in the world knew it was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, really we didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
We didn't know what was coming like that now a
Fena Fairness and nine to Noon act with yours. Truly,
I had no idea Belgium was that good. I mean,
it's you know, high listening to Nordo. I listened to
Manny Lagos. I might have read one or two things.
So yeah, I know their top ten, top tenish stock
in the world. Yeah, top fifteen of stock in the world.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But they had underperformed all tournament, right, And you said
that yesterday, But I had never watched him play.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I just I had no idea how.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Fast and good all those guys were.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
But well, that's what they did is throughout that tournament
they smelled blood. Man. They had been slow, they had
been plotting. And why I mentioned yesterday it was going
to be a big game for us to have the ball.
And that sounds obvious, but but that's from a tactical situation,
making the most out of possession, dominating it and limiting
uh their their opportunities via set pieces. In particular, what
(33:35):
they did is they took a couple of their big
timers out Doku and de Bryna. They started them on
the bench. Oh, these guys start every game. So those
were the major lineup changes. The box started talking about
early yep, and they put they put younger bench guys
in with a ton of speed to match us.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Was one of them that that short guy with the
very short haircut. It was lick at he split bass
uh Luca begall I don't know, man. They had a
guy who couldn't be taller than five to nine, had
a very short haircut, trying to look like Phil Collins Trassard.
Maybe he might have been a four to one forty
Holy cow? Was he fast with the ball?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
They and so effectively they were able to do whatever
the exact thing that we had done throughout the tournament,
which was we're going to hang on to this thing.
We're going to create chaos in the box, a lot
of cornerkick opportunities and force you to do something you
hadn't done all tournament, which was defend. Yeah, and now
we know why we didn't want to have to defend
(34:32):
with Tim Reim.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
So thanks to owl roofing, the nine to noon post
game is next here.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
What this is PA on iHeartRadio and KFA and the
fan Guaranteed Human.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Dot Com and I can tell you what the talkback
winner will not be. Our friend Jensen lewis touting the
Egypt and Argentina halftime draw. They're approaching halftime, Egypt leeds
Argentina and Messi one zero Messi mister penalty kick and
Jay Lou was super negative anyway.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Here we are.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Hey, we got to meet and learn more about Nate Bubis,
who is chief of staff assistant coach with the Timberwolves
and Chris Finch, but he's also the Summer League head coach.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Here he is talking.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
About his squad in the seven oh two.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
We really like our size, Like we're big, We're like
a throwback team.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
We had lots of bigs, you know. We we have
Rocco and Johann who has been a part of the
program for a year.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
And then we have this two.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
We drafted Trey Kaufman Wren from Purdue who and they
played massive.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
At Purdue too.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
He played the four as the six nine guys, so
he's a throwback four. And so between those three we
have a lot of size. And then we have a
you know, a good point guard to put it all
pieces all together. And Zion Poland who spent his year
in the G League and is now a two way
with US.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Terrific conversation with Bubis and that'll be podcastable momentarily. Also
a great chat with Jensen Lewis, Guardians analyst. He does
have a little bit of a way am bent to
haim the halftime draw definitely went the wrong way, but
maybe things go the right way for the Minnesota Twins
against this Cantillo.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Cat, Joey Cantillo, And again you probably you probably have
a little inconsistency there with him tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Just a guy that has shown in spurts PA that.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
He's capable, but also the command can elude him at
some points. And I think that's what I'm fascinated by.
Just with this one out of the shoot, it has
been tougher on the road. I believe the era is
almost a full run higher away from Progressive Field, and
he has to head a tendency to give up a
few more home runs. So if he has sort of
that erratic command early fallen behind and counts, it'll be
(36:41):
an opportunity for the Twins to try and do some
early damage.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
And that's today's post game, brought to you by Owl
Roofing And as we wrap up nine to noon, thank
you so much for hanging out with us today. Aaron Anger, Yeah,
Aaron from Cottage Drove is our Northern Fire Talker Tuesday
talkback winner. Yes, huge opportunity and they lay Team USA

Aaron's getting a w because he's getting a twenty five
dollars gift card to Northern Fire Grilling and Barbecue Supply

From the one eight hundred ASK Gary Traffic Center.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
This report is sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Celbound thirty five E
All righty Now the nine to noon radio presentation rolls
on at f M one hundred point three k f
a M. Yesterday, we we mentioned in an on the
fly truncated kind of a drive by bikes bikes, that
that somebody approached me at Canterbury Park before a race
(00:22):
call adjacent to the paddock, very very very kind individual
and we called it Fira fairness in Rube act, Fairness
in Rube act. Because my man rolled up to me
and and he he was like, you know, what do
you think of M Queens? What do you think of
M Queens? And I said, can't wait for the season.
(00:44):
Think it should be fun, should be Green Bay game one.
And started from there and I could tell that he
that he was angling for something. It ended up being
a quarterback related question that that I thought was very cool.
But you know, we we we had to we had
to jump through some hoops. We we had to go
through some gyrations and or verbal We just met each
(01:08):
other historyonics before we could get there. Because he's like, yeah,
the uh Flores defense, it's uh with with with those
two new defensive tackles, it's it's gonna jump on everybody
like a plague. And I'm like, like a what he said,
like a plague And I said, like a plague? You
mean plague? Yeah, it it. It should have an ameba
(01:31):
effect to it, where the problems are coming from unforeseen
and unscalted angles, like a plague. I completely understand that.
And he said, Uh, you don't call races down here,
do you? I said, I said no, He's like you
you don't. You don't call races next to the paddock.
(01:52):
And I said, next to the paddock.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I don't call races inner by the paddock. It's there's
a there's there's a box box upstairs, and and that's
where I go call races. It's not in the paddock.
It's in the paddock. And he said, oh, my bad,
My bad, my bad. I'm I'm from Oregon. Uh so
therefore you know it's I'm not really used to paddocks.
(02:16):
And I said, well, I've never been to that part
of the I've never been to that state. But Oregon,
Oregon is a wonderful play It sounds like a wonderful
place to visit. It sounds beautiful. Then the uh, the
the fire a hit fairness and rubaced Uh the the
the individual. The man asked me, Hey, dude, do you
(02:41):
think Kyler Murray in any way is playing for his career?
And I said, like, like, if things don't go well
this year, he's done excommunicated from the National Football League.
And he said, no, not done, but like his starting career.
And I said, Ay, that's a that has some juicy
(03:02):
appeal to it. I think I'll write that out. Nice
to meet you. I think the guy's name was Marty.
And if you're going back to visit family in Oregon
or as you say Oregon as we chat next to
the paddock or as you say, pad Oc, hopefully everything
works out beautifully for you and enjoy the races. And
(03:23):
thank you very much for Thank you very much for
the question, because I'm gonna write this thing out. I
like that question. Is Kyler Murray in any way playing
for any part of his career? If he does start
Week one for the Minnesota Vikings. Now, Kyler in his career,
(03:43):
I believe through this year, all right through the twenty
twenty sixth season, will have made two hundred six million,
seven hundred ninety one thousand, seven hundred eighty four dollars
through the first eight years of his career. So Kyler
Murray has enough money even after taxes, Kyler Murray has
(04:07):
enough money to not care, or Kyler Murray has enough
money for the project not to work. So put that
shiny toy piece to the side. But just know that
that he you know, that's the situation with him. That's
in no way saying he won't care or the project
(04:27):
won't work.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But this, this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Absolutely is a project, no matter how it is my
opinion obviously, but no matter how Kyler Murray, Kevin O'Connell, now,
Nolan Teasley, no matter how anybody wants to look at it,
I firmly believe this absolutely is a project. And the
(04:51):
head coach here has been quite good with veteran projects.
Now Darnold is one of the great high examples of that. Honestly,
in the history of the National Football League. I mean,
you can go back and find top five picks that
were kind of fizzling out, then all of a sudden
not only found the right spot, but found the right spot,
(05:15):
won fourteen games, had a lot to do with it,
entered the MVP conversation for a hot tick, and gave
you a great chance to get to the Super Bowl,
and then he leaves and he wins the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But the reclaiming of the reclamation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Part of the project was here with Kevin O'Connell and
with this coaching staff. So Darnold is truly one of
the great high end examples of a project landing in
Minnesota and reclaiming whatever it had that got it there
in the first place.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Carson Wentz, how about this?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Carson Wentz signs August twenty fourth of last year, and
he beat Cincinnati three weeks later August twenty fourth. It's like,
here's your playbook. Three weeks later he beat a National
Football League team, having absorbed the playbook and the intricate
(06:18):
nature of the nuance and the tentacles to each play
that comes with said playbook.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I mean, that's amazing that you get this Tolstoy voluminous
playbook and now you're beating a National Football.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
League team three weeks later. And for Wentz.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then he went on to win a couple of games
and gave the Vikings a chance against Pittsburgh in Dublin
and against Philadelphia. Carson Wentz fast learner. But the teachers
matter here too, is Kyler a fast learner. Is Kyler
Murray a fast learner? The same teachers are here and
(06:59):
are proven, So ponder that, And in what ways if
any is Kyler Murray playing for his career? But playing
for his career could mean if this doesn't work and
you get benched, nobody will ever start you again? It
(07:22):
could mean that I'm not saying that's the case, but
if somebody, if Marty from Oregon rolls up with some
fire affairness and rubac wondering if Kyler Murray at this
point is playing.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
For any form an any.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Part of his career, well, this is part of the context,
wondering if he's a fast learner. In what ways if
any is Kyler Murray playing for any part of his career?
And playing for any part of his career could mean
if this doesn't work and you get benched or you
don't win the job into the Green Bay game.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Will anybody ever start you again?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
If if I'm Kyler Murray and I choose to become
a blank slate, here.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They're there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
These are some things that I would be pondering if
I'm Kyler Murray and here it is here it is,
I'm a blank slate present, tense, past, time is behind.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Don't fall for the same old line. I'm a blank slate.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'd be pondering things like this, like if I'm Kyler,
I'd be like, I've been the best at what I
do most of my life, but now I'm not. Why
am am I capable of at some point next season
(08:54):
which would be the upcoming season training camp within a month,
am am I capable at some point of that equation
entering MVP conversation like Sam Darnald did here a couple
of years ago. The arms not as accurate or as
(09:14):
strong as some others, and that would include Sam Darnald.
And this offense is not constructed to run quarterbacks like
Baltimore or say Buffalo. So if I'm Kyler, I'd be like, so,
given I have been the very best there is at
what I do most of my life, and now I'm not,
(09:39):
And nobody in the universe anywhere even ranks me as
a top ten quarterback in the league, how can I
show the Vikings, coaches, teammates, and fans I am that guy.
I just have been lost for a little while in
a football culture antithetical in several ways to the way
(10:03):
things are done here.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Now with Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Even even if he completely fails, which he won't, ninety
five percent chance somebody wants him as a backup next
year and there and next year being twenty twenty seven.
And there even will be some who think, quote, they
(10:32):
couldn't do it over there in Minnesota. But we're smarter
and more squared away than them. So watch what we
can do with Kyler Murray end quote. I mean, this
is the shield. There's arrogance to it, there's one upsmanship,
there's the proverbial chip on the shoulder at all times.
So yeah, I mean, if if things don't work here
(10:53):
for Kyler Murray, for whatever the reason, there will be
others who are like, no, no, no, no, no, I
absolutely hold the key to opening the door to this
young man becoming one of the if not the very best,
at what he does, like everybody told him he was,
(11:14):
or perhaps he was for a majority of his life.
The the what part of his career is on the
line narrative means entering means his starting career. So with
with my man next to the paddock, I think his
name was Marty from Oregon, you know, when when he
(11:36):
asked the question that that's kind of what we we
that that's kind of the conclusion we got to with
his question is that he's wondering and maybe other fans
are wondering too, that the the part of Kyler Murray's
career that potentially is on the line would involve his
starting quarterback career. Kyler Murray even said it during or
(12:01):
around minicamp. I believe it was after the first day
of miniicam. He had a day he threw two consecutive
picks to start practice and didn't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Great all of that practice.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Now, after the practice, Kyler said to the media something
along the lines of quote, I'm used to getting all
the reps in practice, and that's not the case here. Correct,
But that's correct. But would it be the case if
(12:39):
he came in day by day, opening eyes and doing
amazing things where coaches and players are like, he's a sponge.
Kyler Murray is a sponge just absorbing every nuance the
playbook has to offer. Again, consider Carson Wentz August twenty fourth,
(13:00):
twenty twenty five, joins the Minnesota Vikings. Three weeks later,
he beats the Cincinnati Bengals in a National Football League
regular season game that has some sponge related retention to it.
Now with Kyler, and I'm speculating here, I got no
steam on this, and that's fine a because absence makes
(13:22):
the heart grow fonder. But b I and we all
get to be surprised together. But I would bet Kyler
starts training camp in a few weeks as the one
and gets all or a majority of the right reps.
And perhaps that's where the rubber meets the road, but
(13:43):
there's no confirmation on that. And by the way, let's
not forget Brian Flores defensive training camp, be Fuddled Cousins
and Wentz and Darnold, and all three of those guys
are scholars of game. The Ravens joints, the joint practices
(14:05):
with the Baltimore Ravens, the old ruff and tumble Baltimore Ravens.
That is where it absolutely will be required for the
Minnesota Vikings number one quarterback to look the part and
make plays when the Baltimore Ravens are in town like
(14:29):
a month in small change from now. Personally speaking, I
cannot believe head coach Kevin O'Connell is going to want
to have a quarterback battle at that point of the equation.
I mean, I would think the starter, the one, the
super special one.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Would have to be settled by then.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now again, Kyler has earned more than two hundred million
dollars during his career, yet is at a point where
a new regime in Arizona decided, we we'd rather argue
with Jacoby Brissette's agent over his value than have you around.
(15:14):
So they gave Kyler Murray thirty plus million to leave.
Personally speaking, if I'm him, that's a look in the
mirror moment, like why, I mean, the cash is cool
before or after taxes. Thank you to a certain extent,
I earned it, But you want to give me all that?
You want to give me ninety ninety five percent of
(15:35):
when I'm owed and then and then I get to
leave and go somewhere else, all right, So that's a
personally speaking, that would be a look in the mere moment.
Does does Kyler Murray care about league cred? I wouldn't,
but if he does, there is an immense amount of
(15:57):
that to be regained. Does Kyler Murray care about starting
that's a ten of ten yes. I'd guess that's a
ten of ten yes. So what's Kyler Murray playing for
is his career as a starter truly on the line.
(16:18):
Is he more apt to go lights out or flicker
like a flame holding on for dear life against a
stiff breeze? How much pressure is the coaching staff feeling
to make this work? This is the single most riveting
(16:40):
Vikings training camp story and single most important facet toward
the team winning a bunch of games. The reinforce The
reinforcements have positives, for sure. The quarterbacks room is deep,
and I like it, and I think you should like
it too. As a crafty veteran with cunning and guile
(17:04):
who picks up a playbook goes sponge on it, beat
Cincinnati three weeks later. Then you got the first round
pick into his third year from Michigan, went to ford Field,
exorcized ford Field and Lions Jamiir Gibbs related demons and
beat the kiddies. And he but he's only started at
ten games. But Kyler, Kyler Murray, He he is one
(17:32):
capable of mesmerizing the masses. There there are some that
there are some learned football people in the game, as
I've learned after Marty put me on this bit.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Thank you, Marty, Bema Fairness and Marty Act.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
There are some learned, scholarly football minds who do believe
Kyler Murray is playing for the starting portion of his career.
Is he more of a reclamation project than Sam Darnald was.
The answer is yes for sure, because unlike Darnald, Kyler
(18:12):
Murray wasn't permitted to take starter snaps up to training
camp or take all of the starter snaps up to
training camp. Sam Sam, the man who used to play
on the fam, got by far the Lion's share of
the off season work a starter would receive. Kyler didn't,
(18:32):
and the last time we heard him speak, it's fair
to say that was not his preference.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So what does he do with it?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
If and or? Let me think this out, So what's
Kyler Murray going to do with it? If and or
when he gets to training camp and all of this
is in front of him, are there going to be
cut reps in training camp? And with Kevin O'Connell and
(19:10):
the Viking staff, how they can handle this. I cannot
see O'Connell using the vital time training camp provides to
have Murray and McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Go nose to nose down to the wire. In a
match race for the money.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But I might be wrong, and I don't know where
dot Com Tom Tom Pelisero, NFL Network, ESPN's NFL network,
whatever it's called these days.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know where he was, but like it.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Was vast and men, there were giant trees, and I
think there were mountains, and so it looked like he
filed this little report with somebody, ESPN, the Rich Eisen Show,
whatever abroad, and I saw it on social media yesterday.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It was a short clip.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But Tom Pelisero is as plugged into the Minnesota Vikings
as anybody you'll ever meet. And when he shares, he
shares with honesty. But he lays it out in a
way we all can understand kind of what's happening to
a certain extent inside the building. And to paraphrase dot
(20:19):
Com Tom.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You know it.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
He did not have a conclusive answer to what's going
to happen with this quarterback situation when training camp begins
in less than a month. What if it is Murray
and McCarthy down to the wire together, knows to knows?
In this match race for the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback money.
(20:42):
The personally speaking, the hope is Kyler Murray is in
his playbook every single day in preparation for what's coming.
And there is a quarterback running aspect of the equation
him nobody has seen yet, not at mini camp, not
(21:06):
at organized team activities when media was permitted to be there.
Oh it's there. I mean, I've said it before. This
this man runs like the wind.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
He is one of.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The greatest natural runners as a quarterback I've seen since
Mike Vick. And and that's because when when he gets
past the line of scrimmage and he knows he's going
to make the linebacker or the safety miss, because that's
what he does. God gifted him that way. When you
when you watch these runs back, one of the one
(21:38):
of the wonderful things I like about it when Kyler
Murray runs is his head's up, his eyes are down
the field, and he's always looking for the next set
of ankles to break, So he's not necessarily looking at
the guy in front of him. He has him beat,
he knows he has him beat. He's looking at the
next guy he wants to beat him and break his
ankles along the way. The running aspect of the equation
(22:00):
is a very very potent part of this potion that
is going to be special. But if the consistent passing
fails to be what is required, Kyler, the creator and
the offense are gonna have a little problem. They the Vikings,
(22:26):
believe they have an answer to that problem and an
answer for the test, and it's the new fangled running
game and the schemes delivered and assumedly designed by new
assistant head coach Frank Smith, who is bally Hood And
(22:49):
all the letters are all caps, starting with B bally
Hood all caps. This guy's bally Hood, very very well
respected in the league circles for what he has brought
here after being an offensive coordinator for Mike McDaniel in Miami,
Mike McDaniel formerly offensive coordinator for Next Level Shanny in
San Francisco. So we got used check sprinting over there,
(23:12):
we got guards pulling over there, we got Juwan Jennings
who now is with us blocking down the field by design.
So I'm very excited to see how impactfully the Minnesota
Vikings run with schemes and ideas for a newfangled running
game assumably delivered and in part designed by new assistant
(23:36):
head coach Frank Smith.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
How much will that help Kyler.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
How much is that part of the equation when it
comes to is Kyler Murray in any way playing for
any form of his career, and that would include his
starting career here, there or everywhere. The running aspect is key.
It's important because he's good at it. He's very good
at it, and deep has become deflated when it's like
(24:02):
second and nine or third and third and seven, and
you know, you go four wide and you got the
quarterback under center or out of the shotgun, and and
you know they decide they're going to play man defense,
and Kyler sees it or a quarterback season, and he
decides to run, and he gets twelve yards and gets
a first down. When quarterbacks run for first downs on
(24:23):
second or third and long, debilitating, frustrating people getting so
sad because they didn't see it coming. And it's antithetical
to how most teams consistently on average get first downs.
Kyler will get you a lot in the running game.
How much of it will be by design, how much
(24:45):
of it will play into Kyler the reclamation project, as
Kyler the creator looking to give this team his very best,
because he's been considered the very best a majority of
his life, and if I'm him, I want to I
want to rejoin that covenant. I want I want to
(25:06):
be considered one of the very very very best again.
So I came to a team that has a coaching
staff that took a reclamation project named Sam Darnold and
made him what one of the very very best in
the league that year? So good, so he gave him
one hundred million dollars to head Northwest and win a
Super Bowl and party with the Lombardi So it's possible.
(25:30):
It's right in front of him. Super excited to follow it.
Minnesota Vikings training camp twenty twenty six is one of
the more fascinating we've had in a while, for sure
because of the new kids on the defensive line, Banks
and Citrus. But Kyler Murray has some shiny toy to
(25:51):
him and he is a legit reclamation project in search
of saving a starting career. And Kyler Murray well very
much could hold the key to high end Minnesota Vikings
(26:11):
offensive success. And Nine to Noon cannot wait to see
it develop. We'll be back after this.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is nine to Noon. I'm a fan from the
one eight hundred. Ask Gary Trapp.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Nine to Noon needs to crown a Northern Fire talkback
champion before we say goodbye. So let's empty the talk
back contraption and see what Roote Nation has up its
tattered sleeve.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Good morning, Pa and Nordo.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
My concern with Kyler is that he absolutely falls out
this year. Here we are four to extend the contracts
because we're not going to make the Donald mistake again
and let him get away, and then he becomes complacent
and the narratives of video games and blackluster attitude, laziness
(27:14):
creep in and we're stuck with mediocrity for five years.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Dang didn't even ask for a Kyler talk back and
got one. Well, no, I see it's it's I think
you boxed yourself up there a little bit by saying
the concern is Kyler Murray has an amazingly good year,
a very good year, then I'd be willing to just start.
(27:39):
If he's the full time starter, I'd be willing to
start with, Hey, I'll take the amazingly good year and
then deal with what's what's next for him from a
contractual standpoint. And and you know, the the phobia or
the fear of having somebody you played a major part
(28:01):
into turning things around for him, all right, I mean
Nordo said it many years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's it was the uh.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Fool me once, shame on, fool me twice. Well, they
say something like that down in Texas. But that un again. Yeah,
that that would play that that'd be fine and and
and the reason it wouldn't really concern me is because
(28:32):
Kyler would be staying in this culture with these players
and with these coaches. So, you know, the the genesis
of the talker was what part, if any, is Kyler
Murray playing for his career?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And it really I mean if he completely bombs out,
which he won't, gets benched and then is gone, it's
ten of ten, somebody signs him as a backup because
with the arrogant shield, they all think they can find
some potion, some secret sauce that others don't have, and
(29:10):
darn it, we're gonna be the one that turns things around.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, my worry in that regard would be less that
you have this amazing season. I'd love to have an
amazing season. My biggest worry as of this moment is that,
you know, we get far down the road in training
camp and we're still where we're at right now, that
we're neither has truly differentiated.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'm starting to think about that, and I didn't you know,
it's it's like I just said in the last segment,
dot Com Tom, Tom pelisaro as good as it gets
when it comes to handling opinions or breaking news with
the NFL, specifically the Vikings, and he's on vacation. And
I saw this little social media clip yesterday with dot
(29:51):
Com Tom where he laid it out like maybe up
to the Ravens joints there could be a one two
one one a battle for the starting job. I just
can't believe that's how Kevin O'Connell would want it to go.
Doesn't mean it won't go that way, but you're you're
coming off mini camp where you know, like I said
(30:14):
very early in that in in in that monologue, that
in the first day of mini camp, Kyler's first two
passes were picked and he had a bad he had
a bad camp.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
He had a he had a bad day at camp. Yeah,
that's the only way to put him.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
After paraphrasing, he was interviewed by by assembled members of
the media and he was like, I'm used to taking
all the snaps.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I'm used to being the starter.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
So therefore this this paraphrasing and you know, kind of
adding to it, this this cut snap thing ain't helping me.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That. That's the big advantage.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Darnold when he got here, even with McCarthy as a rookie,
that's the big advantage. Sam, the man who used to
play on the fan head is I'm pretty sure he
got a majority of the right reps in the off season.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Look what happened. That's not the case right now. It's perplexing.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Back to soccer, Hea ortal Aaron here in Cottage grill,
I mean, what else do you say? It's nothing short
of disappointing. You know, we weren't expecting them to beat
Spain in the quarter finals. They had an opportunity to
inspire a whole new generation, show what they can do
against Belgium and then hey, you know what, play an
awesome match against Spain, leave us all inspired, and instead
they dropped a big fat l. You know, the hockey team,
(31:32):
what they did back in the Olympics was phenomenal, and
soccer had the opportunity to do when they dropped it.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Do what else to say?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You want to watch her here in l and maybe
people did. And Okay, the the the pre halftime and
postgame show on Fox, is it Thiery Henry, Thiery Henri, Yeah,
say it again, Thiery Henri, Tieri Henri and Ibra Hima
(32:00):
bitch is Laton Ibrahimovitch there we go. I mean, you
listen to those smug guys. I mean it's I enjoyed
their coverage and they didn't outwardly come out. I'm not
saying they were rooting against the USA, but if you
believe the world looks down its proverbial nose at the
(32:21):
United States of America and soccer program like pad it
on the top of the head, you're a good boy. Yeah,
that's a nice victory there. Those two could not have
been anymore. Well, yes, yeah it was. I mean it
was coming. I don't know what all of you were watching,
but everybody in the world knew it was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, really we didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
We didn't know what was coming like that now a
Fena Fairness and nine to Noon act with yours. Truly,
I had no idea Belgium was that good. I mean,
it's you know, high listening to Nordo. I listened to
Manny Lagos. I might have read one or two things.
So yeah, I know their top ten, top tenish stock
in the world. Yeah, top fifteen of stock in the world.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But they had underperformed all tournament, right, And you said
that yesterday, But I had never watched him play.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I just I had no idea how.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Fast and good all those guys were.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
But well, that's what they did is throughout that tournament
they smelled blood. Man. They had been slow, they had
been plotting. And why I mentioned yesterday it was going
to be a big game for us to have the ball.
And that sounds obvious, but but that's from a tactical situation,
making the most out of possession, dominating it and limiting
uh their their opportunities via set pieces. In particular, what
(33:35):
they did is they took a couple of their big
timers out Doku and de Bryna. They started them on
the bench. Oh, these guys start every game. So those
were the major lineup changes. The box started talking about
early yep, and they put they put younger bench guys
in with a ton of speed to match us.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Was one of them that that short guy with the
very short haircut. It was lick at he split bass
uh Luca begall I don't know, man. They had a
guy who couldn't be taller than five to nine, had
a very short haircut, trying to look like Phil Collins Trassard.
Maybe he might have been a four to one forty
Holy cow? Was he fast with the ball?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
They and so effectively they were able to do whatever
the exact thing that we had done throughout the tournament,
which was we're going to hang on to this thing.
We're going to create chaos in the box, a lot
of cornerkick opportunities and force you to do something you
hadn't done all tournament, which was defend. Yeah, and now
we know why we didn't want to have to defend
(34:32):
with Tim Reim.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
So thanks to owl roofing, the nine to noon post
game is next here.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
What this is PA on iHeartRadio and KFA and the
fan Guaranteed Human.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Dot Com and I can tell you what the talkback
winner will not be. Our friend Jensen lewis touting the
Egypt and Argentina halftime draw. They're approaching halftime, Egypt leeds
Argentina and Messi one zero Messi mister penalty kick and
Jay Lou was super negative anyway.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Here we are.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Hey, we got to meet and learn more about Nate Bubis,
who is chief of staff assistant coach with the Timberwolves
and Chris Finch, but he's also the Summer League head coach.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Here he is talking.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
About his squad in the seven oh two.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
We really like our size, Like we're big, We're like
a throwback team.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
We had lots of bigs, you know. We we have
Rocco and Johann who has been a part of the
program for a year.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
And then we have this two.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
We drafted Trey Kaufman Wren from Purdue who and they
played massive.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
At Purdue too.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
He played the four as the six nine guys, so
he's a throwback four. And so between those three we
have a lot of size. And then we have a
you know, a good point guard to put it all
pieces all together. And Zion Poland who spent his year
in the G League and is now a two way
with US.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Terrific conversation with Bubis and that'll be podcastable momentarily. Also
a great chat with Jensen Lewis, Guardians analyst. He does
have a little bit of a way am bent to
haim the halftime draw definitely went the wrong way, but
maybe things go the right way for the Minnesota Twins
against this Cantillo.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Cat, Joey Cantillo, And again you probably you probably have
a little inconsistency there with him tonight.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Just a guy that has shown in spurts PA that.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
He's capable, but also the command can elude him at
some points. And I think that's what I'm fascinated by.
Just with this one out of the shoot, it has
been tougher on the road. I believe the era is
almost a full run higher away from Progressive Field, and
he has to head a tendency to give up a
few more home runs. So if he has sort of
that erratic command early fallen behind and counts, it'll be
(36:41):
an opportunity for the Twins to try and do some
early damage.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
And that's today's post game, brought to you by Owl
Roofing And as we wrap up nine to noon, thank
you so much for hanging out with us today. Aaron Anger, Yeah,
