Speaker 1 (00:02):
I want to chime into what's happening with your favorite
KFAM program. Make your voice heard on the Bradshaw and
Brian text line. Let us know what you have to
say by texting your messages six four six eighty six.
That's six four six eighty six standard message in data rates.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Apply a couple thirteen fourteen pass Common Man program, I'm
Comedy's ten to B one more hour ago. We turn
it over to Big Ticket and JAG next. We have
(00:38):
our bratch on Brian Kavan text line. It's six four
six eight six, and then you can contact us that way.
Here's one that came in that says, frustrating when the
quarterback it's all the blame. Is anyone paying attention to this?
Bagans are number one in different offensive line combinations. We
(00:59):
have thirteen penalty yesterday. Maybe one of those was on McCarthy.
Chemistry is the key and we didn't have that yesterday.
McCarthy will do better when the rest of the team
starts doing better. Sounds like Steve Ramdina wants to absolve
McCarthy from any process because he's really young. He's a
young kid. He's nine as alter ego. Well, of those
(01:24):
yesterday the offensive line was was there other than Bran Dell,
who the team is raved about as a center.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So they had their offensive line yesterday. The inconsistent offensive
lines were when Carson Wentz was play.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is correct. So yesterday they had their offensive line,
and I think the week before they had their offensive line.
And he's only played four games. In Week one, they
had their offensive line other than Derris because he didn't
didn't he didn't play week one? Did he did he take?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He took a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So sorry, and you know a lot of teams. I mean,
just because you're number one in different offensive line combinations
doesn't mean other teams are struggling with that. They all.
It happens to all teams. Also, of those thirteen panels
of yes, I think eight it more because his cadence
was off. They were directly on the quarterback. Didn't even
(02:18):
the head coaching and they said, well, had some cadence
issues there. Those false starts apparently the quarterback was doing
he was trying to kisch people love guard and he
threw the whole team off.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Were those interceptions on the offensive line, And that's the
other thing I don't think they were He had some
time on those. Yeah, so sorry, Steve, you're barking up
the wrong tree. Take that to somewhere elsewhere. They and
this is the Tough Love Covenant, and we liked the kid.
I think the kid.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
He's bright, he's athletic, he's got a good arm, he's
he has a chance to be good.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Fearless.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, he's fear as he has a chance to be
he's nine and more. The need to know did we
have you have? You have double O seven and you
have nine? I mean, these are there's any other numbers
out there? People associated uniers? You have the Fantastic four.
Speaking of Marvel comics, the thing, the flamethrower guy flaming
(03:19):
towards stretch o guy and then whatever. I don't know
what the gal did. She did something. No one's arguing
that the kid's going to have a learning curve. My
whole point, and this has been all time. I just
think they they the team expected more from him because
(03:43):
they they had a franchise quarterback and Sam Darnold. They
said we don't want him. Danny Dimes was a very
highly Wasn't he a six pick overall? Wasn't Danny Jones?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All right, So he's top ten pick. If they had
they all offer him the right amount of money, he
would have stayed and Aaron Rodgers would have been here.
But they were bound to determined to stay with this
kid and saw all. Yeah. So all I'm saying is
God bless him, and I want to give him a chance.
But I just think that I think that the brain
(04:19):
trust here thought they were going to get a lot
more of them out of him at this point of
the season. There's a disconnect there between him and the
star wide receiver. There's just there's nothing there. Now there's
a and I don't know, is this sacrilegious to say this? Now?
It was a hospital ball, the one in the end
zone that JJ didn't catch. It's called alligator arms. Did
(04:44):
you see it? Did that look alligator arms? Should all
you would look like?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I feel like the defender might have gotten a little
bit of his hand on that one. But but you
expect JJ to catch it? Would high expectations for him.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, And so no, I did long turn. The kids
should be good and the team I you know, we
also have to look at the age of the club too,
don't they aren't We like one of the older teams
in the National Football Yes, we.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Have a lot of aging veterans and no, not a
lot of superstar young players.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, the problem because of the drafting has gone the
way did set.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She would like that Hamilton kid? That was Baltimore yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We had an opportunity. Who did we get Louis san.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We could have had Hamilton. We we traded down and
took scene. Can you imagine Hamilton and be flows defense?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you see? You know who else is a good player?
Was that rope Kwan Smith? Is that his name? Yeah?
She considered a good player because he looked good yesterday. Yes,
he he was. I'd like to have him on my club.
Speaking of the of the Lions, did this is one
that I think that could come? And he was doing
a kind of half jokingly, but it's true. But this
(05:59):
is it comes back to bite you because you know
they they just gave another huge contract out to Aiden Hutchinson, Right,
They've given huge contracts, like nine guys on the team,
I mean breathtaking them big conference and they asked Campbell
about it last week and already said, well, we're just
gonna keep spending money until we don't have any left.
(06:20):
That's what he said, which he is telling the truth.
We're just gonna spend it till we don't have any left,
and they're pretty close to not having any left. So yeah,
they if if, if your ownership there, my guess is
you're hoping for a big game this year, next year,
because after.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That, I think ownership after all the teams they've gone through,
they are very pleased.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But what I'm saying is if they don't get it,
I don't know how they're going to fight that salary cap.
They've they've got a lot of money invested in players
right now. They got money and golf.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And Gibbs and but they're invested in good plays. They
sound like you're stuck through. They got other good players.
You're in Jacksonville and your stuff with Trevor Lawrence on
your a huge deal, Like Gibbs is a superstar, Hutchinson's
a superstar, Goff is a top eight quarterback, Amon Rossaint
Brown's a top ten wide receiver. I mean, at least
they're put their money in the right places.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, you're right, this one, says Commin. Can I get
your take on the lack of use regarding Hawking Fuss
prior to the season. I read a few items that
said he would need to be very important piece of
the offense considering nines in experience. Is he just not
getting open or are we just more focused on deeper passes.
I think it's probably more complicated than that. And again
(07:35):
I don't watch the twenty two wide and I don't
see the game plan. I think I don't think there's
any question. The coach can say whatever he wants about
wanting to run the ball more. He likes a vertical
passing game. He likes to air it out. It's fun.
Two fans love it. Is there anything better than watching
a court You watched Detroit yesterday. Every pass play is eight, ten, fifteen,
(07:58):
twenty yards downfield, huge gains. They shredded worse. As a fan,
it's fun, you love it, But you got to have
the weapons and the tools. And I don't know if
JJ he's got a good arm, But I don't know
if he's if if if we saw the accuracy yesterday,
there was none, he has.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
No I was gonna say, like there's one common denominate
because he just asked about Hockinson. You could say the
same thing about Justin Jefferson, Right, he's underperformed.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Jordan Addison, who I kept braving about in training camp,
and I know he missed the first three games with
the suspension, but he looked like he was gonna be
a superstar in training camp and watch him and join
Prex's he's been just okay. Like it's this is across
the board here. This is an entire offensive correct failure
and that probably starts at the quarterback, and maybe the
(08:43):
head coach's expectations for the quarterback plays a role in it.
But it's not just one guy here. It's everything's and
and offensive line. Yep, he has.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Something to do with it, of course. If again, I
know want to bring up the Lions a lot, but
I followed them closely. Their offensive line was in ruins
last week and they lost to the Vikes. Hogan he
was out yesterday, he got knocked out of the game.
They had a rookie starting. I don't think the guy
ever play a snap in the NFL, or if he had,
it was very few. So they were there there. All
these teams are mixing and matching people, so there's plenty
(09:12):
of blame to be spread around. And the point is
well taken. The offensive line has had its issues, though
yesterday it had their new center that they're thrilled with,
and we're not going to see the other guy. Don't
together again we may, but I mean he's got two
concussions five in his career that we know of. But
they had Dearris on the left and O'Neil on the right.
Then they have Jonah the young kid in the left
(09:32):
guard position, and our right tackle whoever he is. I
can to the Fries guy that we got our guys.
That's the line we're going to go with. The thing
with Hawkinson, there's no yards after the catch ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
He's never had a yard after the Cassie. I'm exaggerating
(09:53):
some but you saw yesterday how many catch they have?
You two and he had he was tackled immediately. I have.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's most of our guys.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You watch Laporta, his first catch of the game is
he was dragging four Washington guys with her dragging them.
He makes yards after the catch. That's why the lines
traded Hawkinson for a second and a third. They knew
Laporta was waiting.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who on our team is a yet guy. I don't
know if we have a yet we never have a
guy that catches like a seven yard crossing route and
turns that into forty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Speedy yesterday had one. Sure, Speedy had the one play
where he turned into a sixty two yard gain as biggest.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But even that was a deep throat Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And Hawkinson's an okay player. He's good. He's a good tastes,
got good hands. I mean he had that one in
the back of the end zone. Was that the one
that they ruled against him and didn't give it to him?
Or did a good overturn in a terrific catch. Guy's
got good hands. I think he can block as far
as I know, and I think he runs a quality pattern.
But I don't see him getting a lot of yards
(10:57):
after catching, as you just pointed out a lot of
the biking stone. So I don't know, and I don't
know if the if the coach is enamored with throwing
the ball long, I don't know. It's sure seems like it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I do wonder on a lot of these third and
ones that they've had now, clearly KOs is designing plays
in which there's a deep route included. I do wonder
how much of it is on koc and how much
of it is the quarterbacks making bad decisions and koc
is just trying to cover for the quarterback. That could
be as well, because it does seem a lot third
and one where they're just taking I even mentioned it
(11:37):
in the Detroit when the last play of the game
to me that passed the Jalen there was not a
high percentage play. No, it worked, they completed it. It
was a great throwing, great catch. But for a must
have situation, I want a little bit higher percentage plays
than that, and they seem to do that all the
time on their third and fourth and shorts. Heck, the
touchdown they got yesterday Jalen Naylor on fourth down, great throw,
(12:02):
great catch, is not a very high percentage play. That
was pretty good coverage.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There are people, and again this is very unscientific, but
there are people that put a lot of the blame
on the head coach. You know this text Messenger says,
this is an interesting angle, is over coaching hurting nine
(12:35):
KOs Is talk about climbing in the pocket too far
that you bring a block pass into play and then
there's far But ad minute after he retired he didn't
know what Cover two was. I told the story about
when I think it was the one of the coaches
(12:56):
of the Vikings during Adrian Peterson's here had to go
up to far after practicing, go could you do me
a favor and could you explain the play to Peterson
when when you call it because he doesn't know the plays.
Adrian just ran the ball. Just give him the ball, run,
just look for and says something. And it worked for
very well. He won the MVP board in twenty ten.
(13:17):
He didn't need no place give him the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Athletically was athletically away.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
He was probably second to none. But yeah, I mean
there is the idea. I mean, if you'll remember what
they here's what they did with the quarterback. He played
Week one, he was bad for three quarters, was really
good against the Bears in the fourth quarter. They won.
Next week, did not play well at all. Ended up
it was after the game. He never left the game
that I'm aware of. And maybe if he left, he
(13:42):
came back because he finished the game right. He comes
back and then they say, well he's got a high ankle.
Spring out for a while, and it was up for
five weeks and Wentz got beat like a pinion. But
I brought this up several times. The coach said, this
will give us time and again this is isn't a
word for word, but he said, this will give his
time to work with some of the mechanics we need
(14:04):
to work with. You know, KOs is really big. How
many times has he talked about having your eyes and
your feet aligned? And that's probably true. I don't know.
I'm not a quarterback. I was a fierce pass rushing
rock and gibralta run stopping defensive lineman and a precise route.
Weren't sure in a pass catching tight end. Now what
we did pick up basketball or pick up football as kids,
you know, back in my elementary school days. Let's just
(14:26):
say I played quarterback loss. I was very I had
a very good arm. Couldn't throw the deep ball very well,
but I could. I could spin it. But you know,
I don't know. Sometimes you just got to let a
guy go around and wing it out there too. But
of course you don't want if you want to go
(14:47):
with it. He's really young. People love to go with
these really young thing. Well, it's been playing. He went
to a football academy that don't you remember, haven't you
read a story? He was one of those guys that
went to that famous if I unless I'm thinking of
the wrong quarterback, I could have swore I read he
went to that famous quarterback academy. He spent his informative
years there. It's like, it's not that complicated. It's football.
(15:10):
It's hut one, hut two, hut three or so us
what our cadence is always wrong? And then it's dropped back.
You know who's supposed to be open, who's not supposed
to be open? You know where they're supposed to be.
Don't hang onto the ball, don't throw it so low
that the guy just has to stick his hand up
like he's saying, how many people can use the word
four in a sentence? You know, you raise your hand
in class and go too plus two be four. That's
(15:32):
all you know? There are certain things you should already
know at twenty two years of age. Sorry, we'll break,
we'll come back. Tenneby's got a keyword for us.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Double thirteen fourteen past. I'm common. He's tend to be
tenn to be. It was a texts a email I
received that I saved. Oh yeah, this one tend to me.
This is actually an email sent too Common on Saturday
(17:35):
on a quarter past eleven. It says common, this Indiana
coach sounds a lot like you. Just before kickoff, one
of the Sideline reporters went with Indiana's never won at
Beaver Stadium. How does that change today? He replied simply
with well, this team has never played there. I just
love it, you know, because that's the that's that mindset,
(17:57):
especially fans and media, but particular media, you know, and
you're doing like the Twins. Remember when they hadn't won
a game, They hadn't won a playoff give for eighteen
straight games. It's like two thousand and two or two
thousand and five, whenever it was, and they'd want to
lost eighteen in a row, and it's like, well, that's
the franchise, not the team. There's a difference the current team.
(18:21):
None of those players were around during any of those
eighteen losses, So it doesn't mean anything to them. I mean,
they might be aware, maybe be brought to their attention.
You know, the Twins as a franchise haven't won a
playoff game in eighteen straight games. Didn't know that? Well
that's not very good, is it.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But it has nothing to do with the current players
on the team. So same thing, especially even more so
in college football, because kids are only there for what
maximum fo Well, unless you're the goal for sometimes you
play six or seven years. But otherwise for Parker Fox,
if you Parker Fox, you played there six or seven years.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Otherwise you're there for what four years? Three? I don't know.
Can they come out early in college football.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yes, not as early as basketball, but so I think
they have to play three years.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, So I kind of liked this Indiana coach. And
I remember at first when he said the cocky what
did they ask him if he was a good coach?
He said, google me. My record's in there. And he
looks grouchy. I've never seen him smile. Won't you smile
(19:29):
a mile a while for me, Sarah smile? He doesn't
need his face up foot. These football coaches are a
different breed, right, They just are by his team. That's
the other thing. You know, when you look at the golphers,
you know they talk about it's hard to win here.
(19:51):
Almost hard to win in Indiana too, wasn't it. Indiana
wasn't any better in football than the golfers. Matter of fact,
I've bet has been worse than football over the past
thirty forty fifty years. And the golphers have they found
a guy, and I don't know if it's all him. Now.
I know the comeback will probably be about the nil money.
But do we know that? Do we know exactly how
much nil money is being spent? I know each university
(20:12):
can spend like the university itself Candola, was it twenty
million dollars twenty point three or something? I don't even
know if I thoroughly understand it. I truly understand it.
But the U has each university can pay money out
of the university coffers, but a lot of the money
I think comes from nil name, image and license. Where tarpshooter,
(20:34):
the burgeoning tarp shooter industry. You could go ahead and
you could pay, say i'll get yeah, go ahead, here's money.
Give that kid a half million dollars. Let him play
point guard for the Minnesota Golden Golfhers. You could do
that if you want. But I don't know if we
know how much each one of these teams is given,
is it. Maybe Indiana's loaded with that, you know, And
(20:56):
I get the small you know, the communities which like
a half valley. That's all they have going in happy valley.
The rest of the valley's unhappy, but with the football
team they're happy. Well not right now, but you know
what I mean. So, yeah, so there are more boosters
than there's more to get. I think Indiana's got Mark
Cuban on their side. Oh do they really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Think that's what you need?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
All right, Well it's working.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We need one guy with cash or one gal with cash.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Google me. Did you see how they won the game?
Speaking of Penn State, they were on the ropes Indiana
and the scenario scenario then I always paint for you, right,
I know you're tired of hearing it, but you know,
show me a quarterback with it minute two to go,
no timeouts, needs a tunny and drive down the field
(21:43):
and win. Hostile and Mormot. Who's the kid is it?
Who's the kid for Indiana's quarterbacks? Of Mendoza? Is his
name Mendoza? I think that's his name. Maybe you could
google it for me. And I think the first play.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
No timeouts Fernando Mendoza they had.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
He's gonna win the Heisman Trophy no timeouts if I ever,
if I understood it, I didn't see the game. I
was out doing. I did five hours of yard work.
Can he even blow my horn for me? Just don't
put your lips on five hours of fall? Clapp put
it off to the last minute. Well what would you
ten to be? Let's see we do some fall clean
(22:25):
up on a night Saturday afternoon, I'm gonna play golf,
Dug winning dug golfing. But anyway, so I did watch
the Iowa Oregon game was really good. I thought I
would just get destroyed, but they would they played, they
they lost late. That was a really good football after
(22:46):
college football game. I loved it, enjoy it. But anyway,
Indiana drove with no timeouts. I think there was just
a touch over a minute to go, and they drove
down the field. If you saw the throw and catch,
have you seen the replay? I did see, Yes, big
time catch in a big time throw. He was falling
backwards and unlike JJ, Now how young did think McCarthy's
(23:12):
McCarthy Mendoze? Oh how olding Mendoza.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
No idea somewhere between eighteen and twenty two.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
He had no problem making a big time throw and
didn't overthrow his wide receiver. He wasn't too young to
make the play. He made the play, really good play.
So yeah, that was fun. But yeah, I just like
a coach that looks as a yeah, that what what
the school did in twenty fifteen, twenty ten, two thousand
(23:46):
and five, two eighteen. None of that has anything to
do with the current current franchise. This text message said,
I think the Indiana's they are more focused on playing
winning football than they are rowing the vote. Oh that's
a cheap shot average. Let me see where I can
(24:12):
find it. Somebody said, I don't need to have it.
I can, I can, I can. The The point of
his text message was, oh boy, here we go another
another O'Connell news conference where he's taking all the blame.
(24:34):
He's not the only coach that does that. I think
coaches do that more and more now than ever before.
Where they go's on me that I was going to
bring up. PJ does it all the time. It's that's
on me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He does so much, you know, hope. Well, technically it
is on PJ because he's the one who brings in
all the players, right, So I mean, ultimately it is
on PJ.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Danny Campbell does it. I watch his news commerce every time.
You know, we have taken some things up, we got
clean things up. We will you know, it's everybody, including
the coaching staff and me and starts with me, and
it does I do like the guy that does the
was it Herbert Hoover or was it James Edgar Hoover
(25:19):
or was it Hoover vacuum cleaner guy? Maybe it was
Dewey and Truman. They said the buck stops here, right,
And that's what a head coach is opposed to do.
But sometimes if they just say it over and over
and over again and the results don't change. After why
it's going out? What do they call it? Lip services like, well, great,
(25:40):
you've been saying that for weeks and months and years.
Now it's then finally, So we'll see if they get
things change. We'll take our final break and come back
with the final segment in the program. I'm the common
Man problem, he're on the fan. All good things must
(26:09):
come to an end. Common Man Show rafts up in
about six seven minutes. That suit a little longer, it'll
be doubled. A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Are pretty about six seven false start penalties yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, well tack on a few more, but yeah, you're right,
there are no no question about that. Uh. A lot
of people are texting the bratch on Brian Cape and
text line this one, you know, because we had we
had a Steve I think it was was it Steve
I think was making excuses for JJ. None of it
(26:46):
was his fault, None of you was everybody else's fault.
It was the team, and the team is better. He'll
be better, Tim says hey common The Chargers have lost
their two best offensive linemen for the year, ones in
all pro. The other one's a pro bowler. They won
their last three games. They're now seven and three. Funny,
we shall overcome, you can overcome. The other thing is
(27:08):
is they also have a coach who likes to run
the football. They rushed the ball. How many times you
think the San Diego Chargers run the football this year?
Tend to me two hundred and sixty four In case
you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Well, they're also down to their third string running back
as well, are they really?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah? Meanwhile, the Bikings have run the ball two hundred
times sixty four more times. That's a lot. That's a
lot of a lot of a lot of addition runs.
Some teams want to have a nice blend. Other teams
want to throw throw, throw the ball gently down the field.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, and what's most puzzling is they had a nice
blend in their win against Detroit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They did.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
They ran the ball against Detroit. You think you'd follow
that that blueprint back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, well and they did. If you'll remember, and let
me let me grab the gamer here from fish Wrap
Factory West Side. I think it was in the takeaways part,
or let me see what it was. Go ahead, give
it to me. Yeah, here it is takeaways. It says
(28:14):
maybe it wasn't in the takeaways. Oh, here it is.
This is this Guestling. Yeah, this has been Guestling's piece
from yesterday's game. It says the Vikings had eight led
ten to nine at halftime and started the second half
with back to back Jones runs that gained twenty two yards.
(28:36):
That's an eleven yard average tad of be in case
you're wondering at home, and for keeping, if you're scoring
at home, it's eleven yards of carry. But after McCarthy
hit Jordan Addison for four yards on second down, Vikings
lined up with two tight ends and two running backs
on third and one. Instead of going back to the
run O'Connell dialth of a play action shot out of
(28:56):
heavy personnel, McCarthy threw a second pick the day. As
Jefferson fell down in the play, Ravens drove sixty yards
for a field goal to take the lead for the
first time in the game. That was one of the
main points of conversation in the head coaches day after
the game news conference, which you heard on this radio station,
and he was asked about it point blank by one
(29:20):
of the reporters Meadian members said basically was saying, do
you have any second thoughts on that? Do you wish
you'd run the ball, and said, and then he did
the old best receiver in pro football one on one.
I would do that every time, and it's hard to
argue with him. Really, I'm not nitpicking about that, but
(29:40):
I think the whole question is it's just the idea that,
because I understand the strategy, teams do this all the time.
It's almost like you got a free play if you
have third and one, and he said, he claims, we'll
never know, but I'll trust him. He was going to
go for it on fourth down no matter what. Sure,
that's what he said. So you feel like you have
a free play, right, It's like, so I'm gonn go
(30:00):
ahead and I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it down there.
And if you do get the best wide receiver pro
football and there was no pass interference or legs got tangled,
you know, it's it's both players are at fault. If
you want to say there was fault there and then
you but you don't get to run the ball because
it was picked off. There are still those that would say, like,
(30:20):
did you notice yesterday, the Ravens just kept running the
ball and running the ball, and I don't know what
the percentage was. I don't know if you have a
if you can even find a staff for me. But
they they ran the ball. Now, they got Derrick Henry too,
but he wasn't. It wasn't like Derrick Henry was Jonathan Taylor.
Did you see those numbers?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, he's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Did I did I see that? Right? Did he over
have over two hundred yards rushing.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
To forty four? I thought? Now they weren't overtime. Okay,
he got a lot of his yards in overtime as well,
but still, and do you have three tuddies? Yeah, you
have the game winnering overtimes only only.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Any quarterback a good? Have you got that camera running
game too? He's Colts right, Yes, so that doesn't So
that doesn't hurt Danny Jones at all. You got a
running game like that. That is not the reason why
gofice is effective. It's it's a maybe. It was night
and day difference with Gibbs. Gibbs was against the Vikings,
(31:22):
you know, sonic we call him. He was a liability
for the Lions last week. They had to take him
off the field because when b Flow would dial up
his exotic blitz packages or schemes or whatever you call them,
Gibbs couldn't block anybody. Linebackers were mowing them down like
(31:46):
a there there they were like it was like it
was like a snowblower. Now it was like a bowling ball,
and he was knocking down ten pins. Yes, yesterday, Gibbs
looked like the best player in pro football. I mean
could running the ball, catching the ball. Everything he did
he made it was so good. So a lot of
(32:08):
it just depends upon how the other team is defending. You, Right,
what was I asking you to check?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You asked me run pass? I don't know if I
can give you the exact answers because I don't have
sack totals at this current moment. The Ravens ran the
ball thirty six times and Lamar Jackson attempted twenty nine passes.
Now Lamar can run, which also inflates the you know,
(32:37):
they're not all designed runs necessarily.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They had a handful of design runs for him. Yes, Craig,
I think Mark Craigan is five five extra points points there.
He thought maybe they were being a little conservative because
of the hammy that because it wasn't that a hammy
that kept lamarrow for a couple of games. So I
think that was part of what they were doing was
maybe protected them a bit. But they they didn't shy
(33:01):
away from the running game. Even when they didn't make
big chunks yards, they kept running and maybe that was
part of the reason why they they they had to
settle for field goals so often, but we don't. We
seem to. It's it's been something that just the coach
seems to abandon the running game. Pretty early. We had
forty two passes. Yet now we were behind. Yeah, but
we weren't behind the entire game. We for the first
(33:25):
half we were ahead. And it wasn't like the Ravens
got two quick scores to go up twenty, you know,
go up two tuddies and that mean we had to
throw the ball. They got them in smaller increments. They
had to settle for field goals on the first three
score or was it their first four were the first
(33:47):
four scores, all four scorts seven years ago, they were
a field goals for it.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
And then we fumbled the ball, yeah, and we kick
off right, so and our running backs were running successfully.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Aaron Jones nine carries forty seven yards, that's a five
point two yard average. Jordan Mason four carries twenty five
yards six point three average.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, And the coach made no bones about it. He
liked to talk about, how did we average like six
yards for every offensive play? I think that was what
I think. I think he said that. I could have
swore that's what he said. And his point was, with
that kind of yardage, we should be winning that game.
But we had was it thirteen penalties all together with
(34:30):
eight fall starts for over one hundred yards and penalties,
and then you have the overthrown passes, and then you
average with the turnover. We lost the turnover, but did
we turn it over three times and the Ravens turn
it over It could have been for and the Ravens
turned it over zero times. So he's right. You know,
when you have that kind of yards, if you ten
(34:51):
if you had said any NFL too, if you said
NFL team x YZ had six yards on average per play,
did they interviews? You'd go, they want probably in a route.
But when you turn the ball over as much as
you do, when you are penalties and the penalties. That
was disturbing when it was there were eight false.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Starts, thirteen penalties for one hundred and two yards, eight
false starts.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
At home, Well, it's like a library in there, it's
like being in Bach, Minnesota. Because a listener and Box
said he if his if he did a show as
poorly as I did, he'd rather read a book. I
recommended the common Man Book. And then we looked up
to see if there were any libraries in Bach, and
there weren't, but there are in the area. There are branches,
(35:41):
and there's also a Gentleman's club in Bach. Maybe he
might want to go there. I don't know, but yeah,
oh no. Look, people wanted to dictate the content of
the show. Blah blah blah. How about hockey we talked earlier,
we did. We talked about how for me while Tenneby
(36:05):
was talking about the goaltending and this and that and
the other thing, I was more What I was more
curious about, was it.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Is there lunch?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No? Is it Yesper Wallstead or is it Jesper Valstad?
And you said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
It's Yesper, Yesper.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
And then of course I said, I don't know. Rosen
would probably use both Pronuncia. Matter of fact, he probably
mixed a match, so one day it was yesper Valstead,
then yesper Wallstead, then Jesper Valstad and Jesper Wallston. There's
so many different ways rolls and could go because as
you know with some of the NBA players, uh, Don
Chic and Devincenzo. Devincenzo, he likes to use different pronunciations.
(36:48):
So I think, maybe do that with a goalie we
can talk to. And did the Gophers finally win a
couple of hockey games that I see Dame and and
we lost four in a row? I thought we'd lost
for in a row. And that just doesn't seem like
Minnesota gold and go for hockey to me. But I'm
not following Yeah, I'm not following gold and go for
hockey as closely as I once did. But you get
(37:09):
a couple of wins there, and that's nice, and you
know again you were you were very prescient. Is that
a word?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Huh? That's what Santa's delivering here in about a month
and a half.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
P r E c I E n T or is
it s C p R.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
E There's an S in there, don't s C I
E N T.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I think that's a word prescient, prescient, pressure, pressure, precent
precint in. And what's the definition.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Having pressions or knowledge of things or events before they
existor have and.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Have and you were pressing, you had forsaid, you said
last week, why are we not playing Bolston? Why do
we continue to play who's our other guy, Gus Guss?
Why do we keep playing Gus? Gus has not been
playing well. It's been obvious to anybody paying a closer
end to the team. Was almost like they were listening
to you over at Grand Casino Arena because they decided
(38:24):
to go. And he puts two sparkling performances together, one shutout.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Right shut out last night. Now, Calgary is one of
the worst teams in the league up until this point,
and even the Islanders Friday night the five to two win.
Not a great team, pretty mediocre team, but still two
goals against the two games will not only get you
far in the National Hockey League at any moment, but
given I mean, this team is basic but averaging like
(38:48):
seems like four goals a game consistently throughout, and they
just don't have the firepower. Most teams don't have the
firepower to just consistently win well giving up that much,
so a good sign at least. And they also did
get Zucarello back, which makes a difference. You know, him
and Caprisat just have a chemistry that he can find
(39:10):
He can find Caprisa better than anybody. And it balances
out the lines a little bit right now. Tarasenko got
moved out the second line, he moved to the third line.
Felino got moved from the third line of the fourth line.
I like, you know, Felino didn't have a point up
until a couple of games ago. All season long, all
of a sudden you put him on your fourth line, like,
oh hey, we actually got a player on the fourth
line now, right And Joe Hansen, I don't know how
(39:33):
much longer it's gonna last, but he's been one of
the best players on the team, had a he'd set
up the Loan non empty net goal last night, setting
up Boldie on that semi breakaway, and he's been good.
So at least for now, he's been find on the
second line. I don't know if that's going to last,
but all of a sudden, your lines are balanced out
a little bit. More on Zucarilla, returns.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
How about Ballstad Saint Paul Wall, the Wall of Saint Paul,
The Wall of Saint Paul. I like it. It's been
like a wall. Blah blah blah. How about the Links
are they playing?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
It's their off season? They haven't aren't thinking to have
some labor issues. I'm not talking about pregnancy. I'm talking
about hold.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
On, give yourself. I'll do it for you and give it. Well,
then there's this one.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Before you move on? Is this just me? Or like
the w NBA, remember when our gal mb F came
out and basically just destroyed the commissioner. It's kind of
been radio silent since then, right, Like, Yeah, I felt
like that was a pretty major story and I expected
like moves to be made or maybe the commissioners ousted,
(40:50):
or I feel like everyone on all sides has just
gone silent.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
It got quiet. Yeah, it is quiet. It's almost too quiet.
This one says blah blah blah. What about the Edmund
Fitzgerald fifty years today? It was fifty years today. We
always especially those kind of anniversaries, you know, the fives,
the tens, the fifteenes, of twenties, the twenty fives, and
the fifties, we pay attention to this. I remember waking
up the morning. Now this was back I was, I
(41:18):
was still in school, I was about to quit school.
I was living in Forest Lake with my father and
my stepmother, my late dad and my late stepmother. And
I remember getting up in the morning getting ready for school,
and they were getting ready for work, and we heard
that We listened to the radio was always on in
the morning, get weather, new sports, that whole dance way
it used to be back in the old and day
still is not. For a lot of people. People go
(41:38):
to the Power Trip Morning Show for new What if
you like reliving the eighth grade every morning, you'll love
the Power Trip Morning Show. So I remember hearing that.
We heard the news that, you know, the freighter, the
Edmund Fitzgerald went down in uh Lake Superior. And it's
(42:02):
the most well known of all the shipwrecks in the
Great Lakes because Gordon Lightfoot described the tragedy and song right.
I can't remember what number it is, but there are
literally hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes
(42:32):
over the years. Yeah, that's the one that's say it's
because it was you know, it was immortalized in song
and well done. I mean, I don't think anybody expected
it to be a hit. You know, Lightfoot just it it.
He's from Canada's from that area, right, so he thought
he wanted to write hit him hard. He wrote the
(42:54):
song and then became a smash hit. Other than he
had several other big hits. Hey, you know, I don't
know if you were a Gordon Lightfoot guy, I tend
to be. But he had a Sundown. It was about a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I don't think I know any Lightfoot songs other than Sundown.
I think if you heard it, you'd recognize it. I mean,
just in passing, I'm sure you must have heard it.
It was a song about a layer, right. And then
he did a song.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Called Carefree Highway, and then he also did a song
Yeah Baby. Then he also did a song if you
Could Read My Mind, which is a brilliant piece of work.
It's literally about it his divorce, and it's uh, it's brilliant.
He was. It was a hell of a talent. Matter
(43:41):
of fact, Bob Dylan loved him. I thought he was
just a genius. And but yeah, so yes, it was
fifty years ago today it was it was. It was
twenty years ago today that Sergeant Pepper taught the band
to play, but it was fifty years ago today that
the ed Inphantsgerald all went down. Blah blah blah. What
(44:03):
about commons golf games? I didn't play though. The season
is not over.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Tim Toby, it's back to fifty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Well, Laggers is opening tomorrow. Other courses will as well,
and I'm playing Saturday. I've got a tea time already
locked in Saturday Preswick, and then Sunday I might go
over and play a little Logger. So yeah, no, there
are courses that are still open. The season is not
over yet.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
It's me sixty on Friday.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
I think I have what you have? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
We Oh, should we have synecon host or something? Talk football?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah? I may have to take a day off. And
you know, I got a lot of sick days and
you do. You do too.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I know we shouldn't have been talking earlier, right next
to each other. Good people, the same thing.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yep, that's what we got. Blah blah blah. What about
are yoga pants and breasts? Try boosting your sagging ratings?
Blah blah blah. More Gordon Lightfoot talk. That's about all
I know about Gordon.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Light I can't well the song the recommend the m
infants Gerald, let's do a quick little rock rank Rock
Rank Rock Rank Top five songs that don't have a
chorus in the song, rather than there's no chorus in
that song, is there? I think you're just going like
verse diverse. I think you're right. I don't know of
another song.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Because Bob Dylan does Tangled Up in Blue, and then
he does the Course and Tangled Up in Blue. That's
a good song too. He's just a brilliant writer. I
mean a lot of his lyrics don't even make any sense.
But I think that's why I like him. I like,
wouldn't they just throw just like what I do, just
throw gibberish around. It doesn't even make any sense. Here's
(46:04):
another option for Rosie referri to Walstead tiemy. Just call
him the Greek kids. I just love our I just

our bratch on Brian Kavan text line. It's six four
six eight six, and then you can contact us that way.
Here's one that came in that says, frustrating when the
quarterback it's all the blame. Is anyone paying attention to this?
Bagans are number one in different offensive line combinations. We
(00:59):
have thirteen penalty yesterday. Maybe one of those was on McCarthy.
Chemistry is the key and we didn't have that yesterday.
McCarthy will do better when the rest of the team
starts doing better. Sounds like Steve Ramdina wants to absolve
McCarthy from any process because he's really young. He's a
young kid. He's nine as alter ego. Well, of those
(01:24):
yesterday the offensive line was was there other than Bran Dell,
who the team is raved about as a center.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So they had their offensive line yesterday. The inconsistent offensive
lines were when Carson Wentz was play.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is correct. So yesterday they had their offensive line,
and I think the week before they had their offensive line.
And he's only played four games. In Week one, they
had their offensive line other than Derris because he didn't
didn't he didn't play week one? Did he did he take?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He took a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So sorry, and you know a lot of teams. I mean,
just because you're number one in different offensive line combinations
doesn't mean other teams are struggling with that. They all.
It happens to all teams. Also, of those thirteen panels
of yes, I think eight it more because his cadence
was off. They were directly on the quarterback. Didn't even
(02:18):
the head coaching and they said, well, had some cadence
issues there. Those false starts apparently the quarterback was doing
he was trying to kisch people love guard and he
threw the whole team off.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Were those interceptions on the offensive line, And that's the
other thing I don't think they were He had some
time on those. Yeah, so sorry, Steve, you're barking up
the wrong tree. Take that to somewhere elsewhere. They and
this is the Tough Love Covenant, and we liked the kid.
I think the kid.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
He's bright, he's athletic, he's got a good arm, he's
he has a chance to be good.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Fearless.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, he's fear as he has a chance to be
he's nine and more. The need to know did we
have you have? You have double O seven and you
have nine? I mean, these are there's any other numbers
out there? People associated uniers? You have the Fantastic four.
Speaking of Marvel comics, the thing, the flamethrower guy flaming
(03:19):
towards stretch o guy and then whatever. I don't know
what the gal did. She did something. No one's arguing
that the kid's going to have a learning curve. My
whole point, and this has been all time. I just
think they they the team expected more from him because
(03:43):
they they had a franchise quarterback and Sam Darnold. They
said we don't want him. Danny Dimes was a very
highly Wasn't he a six pick overall? Wasn't Danny Jones?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All right, So he's top ten pick. If they had
they all offer him the right amount of money, he
would have stayed and Aaron Rodgers would have been here.
But they were bound to determined to stay with this
kid and saw all. Yeah. So all I'm saying is
God bless him, and I want to give him a chance.
But I just think that I think that the brain
(04:19):
trust here thought they were going to get a lot
more of them out of him at this point of
the season. There's a disconnect there between him and the
star wide receiver. There's just there's nothing there. Now there's
a and I don't know, is this sacrilegious to say this? Now?
It was a hospital ball, the one in the end
zone that JJ didn't catch. It's called alligator arms. Did
(04:44):
you see it? Did that look alligator arms? Should all
you would look like?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I feel like the defender might have gotten a little
bit of his hand on that one. But but you
expect JJ to catch it? Would high expectations for him.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, And so no, I did long turn. The kids
should be good and the team I you know, we
also have to look at the age of the club too,
don't they aren't We like one of the older teams
in the National Football Yes, we.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Have a lot of aging veterans and no, not a
lot of superstar young players.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, the problem because of the drafting has gone the
way did set.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She would like that Hamilton kid? That was Baltimore yesterday?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We had an opportunity. Who did we get Louis san.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We could have had Hamilton. We we traded down and
took scene. Can you imagine Hamilton and be flows defense?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you see? You know who else is a good player?
Was that rope Kwan Smith? Is that his name? Yeah?
She considered a good player because he looked good yesterday. Yes,
he he was. I'd like to have him on my club.
Speaking of the of the Lions, did this is one
that I think that could come? And he was doing
a kind of half jokingly, but it's true. But this
(05:59):
is it comes back to bite you because you know
they they just gave another huge contract out to Aiden Hutchinson, Right,
They've given huge contracts, like nine guys on the team,
I mean breathtaking them big conference and they asked Campbell
about it last week and already said, well, we're just
gonna keep spending money until we don't have any left.
(06:20):
That's what he said, which he is telling the truth.
We're just gonna spend it till we don't have any left,
and they're pretty close to not having any left. So yeah,
they if if, if your ownership there, my guess is
you're hoping for a big game this year, next year,
because after.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That, I think ownership after all the teams they've gone through,
they are very pleased.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But what I'm saying is if they don't get it,
I don't know how they're going to fight that salary cap.
They've they've got a lot of money invested in players
right now. They got money and golf.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And Gibbs and but they're invested in good plays. They
sound like you're stuck through. They got other good players.
You're in Jacksonville and your stuff with Trevor Lawrence on
your a huge deal, Like Gibbs is a superstar, Hutchinson's
a superstar, Goff is a top eight quarterback, Amon Rossaint
Brown's a top ten wide receiver. I mean, at least
they're put their money in the right places.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, you're right, this one, says Commin. Can I get
your take on the lack of use regarding Hawking Fuss
prior to the season. I read a few items that
said he would need to be very important piece of
the offense considering nines in experience. Is he just not
getting open or are we just more focused on deeper passes.
I think it's probably more complicated than that. And again
(07:35):
I don't watch the twenty two wide and I don't
see the game plan. I think I don't think there's
any question. The coach can say whatever he wants about
wanting to run the ball more. He likes a vertical
passing game. He likes to air it out. It's fun.
Two fans love it. Is there anything better than watching
a court You watched Detroit yesterday. Every pass play is eight, ten, fifteen,
(07:58):
twenty yards downfield, huge gains. They shredded worse. As a fan,
it's fun, you love it, But you got to have
the weapons and the tools. And I don't know if
JJ he's got a good arm, But I don't know
if he's if if if we saw the accuracy yesterday,
there was none, he has.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
No I was gonna say, like there's one common denominate
because he just asked about Hockinson. You could say the
same thing about Justin Jefferson, Right, he's underperformed.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Jordan Addison, who I kept braving about in training camp,
and I know he missed the first three games with
the suspension, but he looked like he was gonna be
a superstar in training camp and watch him and join
Prex's he's been just okay. Like it's this is across
the board here. This is an entire offensive correct failure
and that probably starts at the quarterback, and maybe the
(08:43):
head coach's expectations for the quarterback plays a role in it.
But it's not just one guy here. It's everything's and
and offensive line. Yep, he has.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Something to do with it, of course. If again, I
know want to bring up the Lions a lot, but
I followed them closely. Their offensive line was in ruins
last week and they lost to the Vikes. Hogan he
was out yesterday, he got knocked out of the game.
They had a rookie starting. I don't think the guy
ever play a snap in the NFL, or if he had,
it was very few. So they were there there. All
these teams are mixing and matching people, so there's plenty
(09:12):
of blame to be spread around. And the point is
well taken. The offensive line has had its issues, though
yesterday it had their new center that they're thrilled with,
and we're not going to see the other guy. Don't
together again we may, but I mean he's got two
concussions five in his career that we know of. But
they had Dearris on the left and O'Neil on the right.
Then they have Jonah the young kid in the left
(09:32):
guard position, and our right tackle whoever he is. I
can to the Fries guy that we got our guys.
That's the line we're going to go with. The thing
with Hawkinson, there's no yards after the catch ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
He's never had a yard after the Cassie. I'm exaggerating
(09:53):
some but you saw yesterday how many catch they have?
You two and he had he was tackled immediately. I have.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's most of our guys.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You watch Laporta, his first catch of the game is
he was dragging four Washington guys with her dragging them.
He makes yards after the catch. That's why the lines
traded Hawkinson for a second and a third. They knew
Laporta was waiting.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who on our team is a yet guy. I don't
know if we have a yet we never have a
guy that catches like a seven yard crossing route and
turns that into forty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Speedy yesterday had one. Sure, Speedy had the one play
where he turned into a sixty two yard gain as biggest.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But even that was a deep throat Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And Hawkinson's an okay player. He's good. He's a good tastes,
got good hands. I mean he had that one in
the back of the end zone. Was that the one
that they ruled against him and didn't give it to him?
Or did a good overturn in a terrific catch. Guy's
got good hands. I think he can block as far
as I know, and I think he runs a quality pattern.
But I don't see him getting a lot of yards
(10:57):
after catching, as you just pointed out a lot of
the biking stone. So I don't know, and I don't
know if the if the coach is enamored with throwing
the ball long, I don't know. It's sure seems like it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I do wonder on a lot of these third and
ones that they've had now, clearly KOs is designing plays
in which there's a deep route included. I do wonder
how much of it is on koc and how much
of it is the quarterbacks making bad decisions and koc
is just trying to cover for the quarterback. That could
be as well, because it does seem a lot third
and one where they're just taking I even mentioned it
(11:37):
in the Detroit when the last play of the game
to me that passed the Jalen there was not a
high percentage play. No, it worked, they completed it. It
was a great throwing, great catch. But for a must
have situation, I want a little bit higher percentage plays
than that, and they seem to do that all the
time on their third and fourth and shorts. Heck, the
touchdown they got yesterday Jalen Naylor on fourth down, great throw,
(12:02):
great catch, is not a very high percentage play. That
was pretty good coverage.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There are people, and again this is very unscientific, but
there are people that put a lot of the blame
on the head coach. You know this text Messenger says,
this is an interesting angle, is over coaching hurting nine
(12:35):
KOs Is talk about climbing in the pocket too far
that you bring a block pass into play and then
there's far But ad minute after he retired he didn't
know what Cover two was. I told the story about
when I think it was the one of the coaches
(12:56):
of the Vikings during Adrian Peterson's here had to go
up to far after practicing, go could you do me
a favor and could you explain the play to Peterson
when when you call it because he doesn't know the plays.
Adrian just ran the ball. Just give him the ball, run,
just look for and says something. And it worked for
very well. He won the MVP board in twenty ten.
(13:17):
He didn't need no place give him the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Athletically was athletically away.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
He was probably second to none. But yeah, I mean
there is the idea. I mean, if you'll remember what
they here's what they did with the quarterback. He played
Week one, he was bad for three quarters, was really
good against the Bears in the fourth quarter. They won.
Next week, did not play well at all. Ended up
it was after the game. He never left the game
that I'm aware of. And maybe if he left, he
(13:42):
came back because he finished the game right. He comes
back and then they say, well he's got a high ankle.
Spring out for a while, and it was up for
five weeks and Wentz got beat like a pinion. But
I brought this up several times. The coach said, this
will give us time and again this is isn't a
word for word, but he said, this will give his
time to work with some of the mechanics we need
(14:04):
to work with. You know, KOs is really big. How
many times has he talked about having your eyes and
your feet aligned? And that's probably true. I don't know.
I'm not a quarterback. I was a fierce pass rushing
rock and gibralta run stopping defensive lineman and a precise route.
Weren't sure in a pass catching tight end. Now what
we did pick up basketball or pick up football as kids,
you know, back in my elementary school days. Let's just
(14:26):
say I played quarterback loss. I was very I had
a very good arm. Couldn't throw the deep ball very well,
but I could. I could spin it. But you know,
I don't know. Sometimes you just got to let a
guy go around and wing it out there too. But
of course you don't want if you want to go
(14:47):
with it. He's really young. People love to go with
these really young thing. Well, it's been playing. He went
to a football academy that don't you remember, haven't you
read a story? He was one of those guys that
went to that famous if I unless I'm thinking of
the wrong quarterback, I could have swore I read he
went to that famous quarterback academy. He spent his informative
years there. It's like, it's not that complicated. It's football.
(15:10):
It's hut one, hut two, hut three or so us
what our cadence is always wrong? And then it's dropped back.
You know who's supposed to be open, who's not supposed
to be open? You know where they're supposed to be.
Don't hang onto the ball, don't throw it so low
that the guy just has to stick his hand up
like he's saying, how many people can use the word
four in a sentence? You know, you raise your hand
in class and go too plus two be four. That's
(15:32):
all you know? There are certain things you should already
know at twenty two years of age. Sorry, we'll break,
we'll come back. Tenneby's got a keyword for us.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Double thirteen fourteen past. I'm common. He's tend to be
tenn to be. It was a texts a email I
received that I saved. Oh yeah, this one tend to me.
This is actually an email sent too Common on Saturday
(17:35):
on a quarter past eleven. It says common, this Indiana
coach sounds a lot like you. Just before kickoff, one
of the Sideline reporters went with Indiana's never won at
Beaver Stadium. How does that change today? He replied simply
with well, this team has never played there. I just
love it, you know, because that's the that's that mindset,
(17:57):
especially fans and media, but particular media, you know, and
you're doing like the Twins. Remember when they hadn't won
a game, They hadn't won a playoff give for eighteen
straight games. It's like two thousand and two or two
thousand and five, whenever it was, and they'd want to
lost eighteen in a row, and it's like, well, that's
the franchise, not the team. There's a difference the current team.
(18:21):
None of those players were around during any of those
eighteen losses, So it doesn't mean anything to them. I mean,
they might be aware, maybe be brought to their attention.
You know, the Twins as a franchise haven't won a
playoff game in eighteen straight games. Didn't know that? Well
that's not very good, is it.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But it has nothing to do with the current players
on the team. So same thing, especially even more so
in college football, because kids are only there for what
maximum fo Well, unless you're the goal for sometimes you
play six or seven years. But otherwise for Parker Fox,
if you Parker Fox, you played there six or seven years.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Otherwise you're there for what four years? Three? I don't know.
Can they come out early in college football.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yes, not as early as basketball, but so I think
they have to play three years.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, So I kind of liked this Indiana coach. And
I remember at first when he said the cocky what
did they ask him if he was a good coach?
He said, google me. My record's in there. And he
looks grouchy. I've never seen him smile. Won't you smile
(19:29):
a mile a while for me, Sarah smile? He doesn't
need his face up foot. These football coaches are a
different breed, right, They just are by his team. That's
the other thing. You know, when you look at the golphers,
you know they talk about it's hard to win here.
(19:51):
Almost hard to win in Indiana too, wasn't it. Indiana
wasn't any better in football than the golfers. Matter of fact,
I've bet has been worse than football over the past
thirty forty fifty years. And the golphers have they found
a guy, and I don't know if it's all him. Now.
I know the comeback will probably be about the nil money.
But do we know that? Do we know exactly how
much nil money is being spent? I know each university
(20:12):
can spend like the university itself Candola, was it twenty
million dollars twenty point three or something? I don't even
know if I thoroughly understand it. I truly understand it.
But the U has each university can pay money out
of the university coffers, but a lot of the money
I think comes from nil name, image and license. Where tarpshooter,
(20:34):
the burgeoning tarp shooter industry. You could go ahead and
you could pay, say i'll get yeah, go ahead, here's money.
Give that kid a half million dollars. Let him play
point guard for the Minnesota Golden Golfhers. You could do
that if you want. But I don't know if we
know how much each one of these teams is given,
is it. Maybe Indiana's loaded with that, you know, And
(20:56):
I get the small you know, the communities which like
a half valley. That's all they have going in happy valley.
The rest of the valley's unhappy, but with the football
team they're happy. Well not right now, but you know
what I mean. So, yeah, so there are more boosters
than there's more to get. I think Indiana's got Mark
Cuban on their side. Oh do they really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Think that's what you need?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
All right, Well it's working.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We need one guy with cash or one gal with cash.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Google me. Did you see how they won the game?
Speaking of Penn State, they were on the ropes Indiana
and the scenario scenario then I always paint for you, right,
I know you're tired of hearing it, but you know,
show me a quarterback with it minute two to go,
no timeouts, needs a tunny and drive down the field
(21:43):
and win. Hostile and Mormot. Who's the kid is it?
Who's the kid for Indiana's quarterbacks? Of Mendoza? Is his
name Mendoza? I think that's his name. Maybe you could
google it for me. And I think the first play.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
No timeouts Fernando Mendoza they had.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
He's gonna win the Heisman Trophy no timeouts if I ever,
if I understood it, I didn't see the game. I
was out doing. I did five hours of yard work.
Can he even blow my horn for me? Just don't
put your lips on five hours of fall? Clapp put
it off to the last minute. Well what would you
ten to be? Let's see we do some fall clean
(22:25):
up on a night Saturday afternoon, I'm gonna play golf,
Dug winning dug golfing. But anyway, so I did watch
the Iowa Oregon game was really good. I thought I
would just get destroyed, but they would they played, they
they lost late. That was a really good football after
(22:46):
college football game. I loved it, enjoy it. But anyway,
Indiana drove with no timeouts. I think there was just
a touch over a minute to go, and they drove
down the field. If you saw the throw and catch,
have you seen the replay? I did see, Yes, big
time catch in a big time throw. He was falling
backwards and unlike JJ, Now how young did think McCarthy's
(23:12):
McCarthy Mendoze? Oh how olding Mendoza.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
No idea somewhere between eighteen and twenty two.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
He had no problem making a big time throw and
didn't overthrow his wide receiver. He wasn't too young to
make the play. He made the play, really good play.
So yeah, that was fun. But yeah, I just like
a coach that looks as a yeah, that what what
the school did in twenty fifteen, twenty ten, two thousand
(23:46):
and five, two eighteen. None of that has anything to
do with the current current franchise. This text message said,
I think the Indiana's they are more focused on playing
winning football than they are rowing the vote. Oh that's
a cheap shot average. Let me see where I can
(24:12):
find it. Somebody said, I don't need to have it.
I can, I can, I can. The The point of
his text message was, oh boy, here we go another
another O'Connell news conference where he's taking all the blame.
(24:34):
He's not the only coach that does that. I think
coaches do that more and more now than ever before.
Where they go's on me that I was going to
bring up. PJ does it all the time. It's that's
on me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He does so much, you know, hope. Well, technically it
is on PJ because he's the one who brings in
all the players, right, So I mean, ultimately it is
on PJ.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Danny Campbell does it. I watch his news commerce every time.
You know, we have taken some things up, we got
clean things up. We will you know, it's everybody, including
the coaching staff and me and starts with me, and
it does I do like the guy that does the
was it Herbert Hoover or was it James Edgar Hoover
(25:19):
or was it Hoover vacuum cleaner guy? Maybe it was
Dewey and Truman. They said the buck stops here, right,
And that's what a head coach is opposed to do.
But sometimes if they just say it over and over
and over again and the results don't change. After why
it's going out? What do they call it? Lip services like, well, great,
(25:40):
you've been saying that for weeks and months and years.
Now it's then finally, So we'll see if they get
things change. We'll take our final break and come back
with the final segment in the program. I'm the common
Man problem, he're on the fan. All good things must
(26:09):
come to an end. Common Man Show rafts up in
about six seven minutes. That suit a little longer, it'll
be doubled. A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Are pretty about six seven false start penalties yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, well tack on a few more, but yeah, you're right,
there are no no question about that. Uh. A lot
of people are texting the bratch on Brian Cape and
text line this one, you know, because we had we
had a Steve I think it was was it Steve
I think was making excuses for JJ. None of it
(26:46):
was his fault, None of you was everybody else's fault.
It was the team, and the team is better. He'll
be better, Tim says hey common The Chargers have lost
their two best offensive linemen for the year, ones in
all pro. The other one's a pro bowler. They won
their last three games. They're now seven and three. Funny,
we shall overcome, you can overcome. The other thing is
(27:08):
is they also have a coach who likes to run
the football. They rushed the ball. How many times you
think the San Diego Chargers run the football this year?
Tend to me two hundred and sixty four In case
you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Well, they're also down to their third string running back
as well, are they really?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah? Meanwhile, the Bikings have run the ball two hundred
times sixty four more times. That's a lot. That's a
lot of a lot of a lot of addition runs.
Some teams want to have a nice blend. Other teams
want to throw throw, throw the ball gently down the field.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, and what's most puzzling is they had a nice
blend in their win against Detroit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They did.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
They ran the ball against Detroit. You think you'd follow
that that blueprint back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, well and they did. If you'll remember, and let
me let me grab the gamer here from fish Wrap
Factory West Side. I think it was in the takeaways part,
or let me see what it was. Go ahead, give
it to me. Yeah, here it is takeaways. It says
(28:14):
maybe it wasn't in the takeaways. Oh, here it is.
This is this Guestling. Yeah, this has been Guestling's piece
from yesterday's game. It says the Vikings had eight led
ten to nine at halftime and started the second half
with back to back Jones runs that gained twenty two yards.
(28:36):
That's an eleven yard average tad of be in case
you're wondering at home, and for keeping, if you're scoring
at home, it's eleven yards of carry. But after McCarthy
hit Jordan Addison for four yards on second down, Vikings
lined up with two tight ends and two running backs
on third and one. Instead of going back to the
run O'Connell dialth of a play action shot out of
(28:56):
heavy personnel, McCarthy threw a second pick the day. As
Jefferson fell down in the play, Ravens drove sixty yards
for a field goal to take the lead for the
first time in the game. That was one of the
main points of conversation in the head coaches day after
the game news conference, which you heard on this radio station,
and he was asked about it point blank by one
(29:20):
of the reporters Meadian members said basically was saying, do
you have any second thoughts on that? Do you wish
you'd run the ball, and said, and then he did
the old best receiver in pro football one on one.
I would do that every time, and it's hard to
argue with him. Really, I'm not nitpicking about that, but
(29:40):
I think the whole question is it's just the idea that,
because I understand the strategy, teams do this all the time.
It's almost like you got a free play if you
have third and one, and he said, he claims, we'll
never know, but I'll trust him. He was going to
go for it on fourth down no matter what. Sure,
that's what he said. So you feel like you have
a free play, right, It's like, so I'm gonn go
(30:00):
ahead and I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it down there.
And if you do get the best wide receiver pro
football and there was no pass interference or legs got tangled,
you know, it's it's both players are at fault. If
you want to say there was fault there and then
you but you don't get to run the ball because
it was picked off. There are still those that would say, like,
(30:20):
did you notice yesterday, the Ravens just kept running the
ball and running the ball, and I don't know what
the percentage was. I don't know if you have a
if you can even find a staff for me. But
they they ran the ball. Now, they got Derrick Henry too,
but he wasn't. It wasn't like Derrick Henry was Jonathan Taylor.
Did you see those numbers?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, he's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Did I did I see that? Right? Did he over
have over two hundred yards rushing.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
To forty four? I thought? Now they weren't overtime. Okay,
he got a lot of his yards in overtime as well,
but still, and do you have three tuddies? Yeah, you
have the game winnering overtimes only only.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Any quarterback a good? Have you got that camera running
game too? He's Colts right, Yes, so that doesn't So
that doesn't hurt Danny Jones at all. You got a
running game like that. That is not the reason why
gofice is effective. It's it's a maybe. It was night
and day difference with Gibbs. Gibbs was against the Vikings,
(31:22):
you know, sonic we call him. He was a liability
for the Lions last week. They had to take him
off the field because when b Flow would dial up
his exotic blitz packages or schemes or whatever you call them,
Gibbs couldn't block anybody. Linebackers were mowing them down like
(31:46):
a there there they were like it was like it
was like a snowblower. Now it was like a bowling ball,
and he was knocking down ten pins. Yes, yesterday, Gibbs
looked like the best player in pro football. I mean
could running the ball, catching the ball. Everything he did
he made it was so good. So a lot of
(32:08):
it just depends upon how the other team is defending. You, Right,
what was I asking you to check?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You asked me run pass? I don't know if I
can give you the exact answers because I don't have
sack totals at this current moment. The Ravens ran the
ball thirty six times and Lamar Jackson attempted twenty nine passes.
Now Lamar can run, which also inflates the you know,
(32:37):
they're not all designed runs necessarily.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They had a handful of design runs for him. Yes, Craig,
I think Mark Craigan is five five extra points points there.
He thought maybe they were being a little conservative because
of the hammy that because it wasn't that a hammy
that kept lamarrow for a couple of games. So I
think that was part of what they were doing was
maybe protected them a bit. But they they didn't shy
(33:01):
away from the running game. Even when they didn't make
big chunks yards, they kept running and maybe that was
part of the reason why they they they had to
settle for field goals so often, but we don't. We
seem to. It's it's been something that just the coach
seems to abandon the running game. Pretty early. We had
forty two passes. Yet now we were behind. Yeah, but
we weren't behind the entire game. We for the first
(33:25):
half we were ahead. And it wasn't like the Ravens
got two quick scores to go up twenty, you know,
go up two tuddies and that mean we had to
throw the ball. They got them in smaller increments. They
had to settle for field goals on the first three
score or was it their first four were the first
(33:47):
four scores, all four scorts seven years ago, they were
a field goals for it.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
And then we fumbled the ball, yeah, and we kick
off right, so and our running backs were running successfully.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Aaron Jones nine carries forty seven yards, that's a five
point two yard average. Jordan Mason four carries twenty five
yards six point three average.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, And the coach made no bones about it. He
liked to talk about, how did we average like six
yards for every offensive play? I think that was what
I think. I think he said that. I could have
swore that's what he said. And his point was, with
that kind of yardage, we should be winning that game.
But we had was it thirteen penalties all together with
(34:30):
eight fall starts for over one hundred yards and penalties,
and then you have the overthrown passes, and then you
average with the turnover. We lost the turnover, but did
we turn it over three times and the Ravens turn
it over It could have been for and the Ravens
turned it over zero times. So he's right. You know,
when you have that kind of yards, if you ten
(34:51):
if you had said any NFL too, if you said
NFL team x YZ had six yards on average per play,
did they interviews? You'd go, they want probably in a route.
But when you turn the ball over as much as
you do, when you are penalties and the penalties. That
was disturbing when it was there were eight false.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Starts, thirteen penalties for one hundred and two yards, eight
false starts.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
At home, Well, it's like a library in there, it's
like being in Bach, Minnesota. Because a listener and Box
said he if his if he did a show as
poorly as I did, he'd rather read a book. I
recommended the common Man Book. And then we looked up
to see if there were any libraries in Bach, and
there weren't, but there are in the area. There are branches,
(35:41):
and there's also a Gentleman's club in Bach. Maybe he
might want to go there. I don't know, but yeah,
oh no. Look, people wanted to dictate the content of
the show. Blah blah blah. How about hockey we talked earlier,
we did. We talked about how for me while Tenneby
(36:05):
was talking about the goaltending and this and that and
the other thing, I was more What I was more
curious about, was it.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Is there lunch?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No? Is it Yesper Wallstead or is it Jesper Valstad?
And you said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
It's Yesper, Yesper.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
And then of course I said, I don't know. Rosen
would probably use both Pronuncia. Matter of fact, he probably
mixed a match, so one day it was yesper Valstead,
then yesper Wallstead, then Jesper Valstad and Jesper Wallston. There's
so many different ways rolls and could go because as
you know with some of the NBA players, uh, Don
Chic and Devincenzo. Devincenzo, he likes to use different pronunciations.
(36:48):
So I think, maybe do that with a goalie we
can talk to. And did the Gophers finally win a
couple of hockey games that I see Dame and and
we lost four in a row? I thought we'd lost
for in a row. And that just doesn't seem like
Minnesota gold and go for hockey to me. But I'm
not following Yeah, I'm not following gold and go for
hockey as closely as I once did. But you get
(37:09):
a couple of wins there, and that's nice, and you
know again you were you were very prescient. Is that
a word?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Huh? That's what Santa's delivering here in about a month
and a half.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
P r E c I E n T or is
it s C p R.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
E There's an S in there, don't s C I
E N T.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I think that's a word prescient, prescient, pressure, pressure, precent
precint in. And what's the definition.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Having pressions or knowledge of things or events before they
existor have and.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Have and you were pressing, you had forsaid, you said
last week, why are we not playing Bolston? Why do
we continue to play who's our other guy, Gus Guss?
Why do we keep playing Gus? Gus has not been
playing well. It's been obvious to anybody paying a closer
end to the team. Was almost like they were listening
to you over at Grand Casino Arena because they decided
(38:24):
to go. And he puts two sparkling performances together, one shutout.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Right shut out last night. Now, Calgary is one of
the worst teams in the league up until this point,
and even the Islanders Friday night the five to two win.
Not a great team, pretty mediocre team, but still two
goals against the two games will not only get you
far in the National Hockey League at any moment, but
given I mean, this team is basic but averaging like
(38:48):
seems like four goals a game consistently throughout, and they
just don't have the firepower. Most teams don't have the
firepower to just consistently win well giving up that much,
so a good sign at least. And they also did
get Zucarello back, which makes a difference. You know, him
and Caprisat just have a chemistry that he can find
(39:10):
He can find Caprisa better than anybody. And it balances
out the lines a little bit right now. Tarasenko got
moved out the second line, he moved to the third line.
Felino got moved from the third line of the fourth line.
I like, you know, Felino didn't have a point up
until a couple of games ago. All season long, all
of a sudden you put him on your fourth line, like,
oh hey, we actually got a player on the fourth
line now, right And Joe Hansen, I don't know how
(39:33):
much longer it's gonna last, but he's been one of
the best players on the team, had a he'd set
up the Loan non empty net goal last night, setting
up Boldie on that semi breakaway, and he's been good.
So at least for now, he's been find on the
second line. I don't know if that's going to last,
but all of a sudden, your lines are balanced out
a little bit. More on Zucarilla, returns.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
How about Ballstad Saint Paul Wall, the Wall of Saint Paul,
The Wall of Saint Paul. I like it. It's been
like a wall. Blah blah blah. How about the Links
are they playing?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
It's their off season? They haven't aren't thinking to have
some labor issues. I'm not talking about pregnancy. I'm talking
about hold.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
On, give yourself. I'll do it for you and give it. Well,
then there's this one.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Before you move on? Is this just me? Or like
the w NBA, remember when our gal mb F came
out and basically just destroyed the commissioner. It's kind of
been radio silent since then, right, Like, Yeah, I felt
like that was a pretty major story and I expected
like moves to be made or maybe the commissioners ousted,
(40:50):
or I feel like everyone on all sides has just
gone silent.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
It got quiet. Yeah, it is quiet. It's almost too quiet.
This one says blah blah blah. What about the Edmund
Fitzgerald fifty years today? It was fifty years today. We
always especially those kind of anniversaries, you know, the fives,
the tens, the fifteenes, of twenties, the twenty fives, and
the fifties, we pay attention to this. I remember waking
up the morning. Now this was back I was, I
(41:18):
was still in school, I was about to quit school.
I was living in Forest Lake with my father and
my stepmother, my late dad and my late stepmother. And
I remember getting up in the morning getting ready for school,
and they were getting ready for work, and we heard
that We listened to the radio was always on in
the morning, get weather, new sports, that whole dance way
it used to be back in the old and day
still is not. For a lot of people. People go
(41:38):
to the Power Trip Morning Show for new What if
you like reliving the eighth grade every morning, you'll love
the Power Trip Morning Show. So I remember hearing that.
We heard the news that, you know, the freighter, the
Edmund Fitzgerald went down in uh Lake Superior. And it's
(42:02):
the most well known of all the shipwrecks in the
Great Lakes because Gordon Lightfoot described the tragedy and song right.
I can't remember what number it is, but there are
literally hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes
(42:32):
over the years. Yeah, that's the one that's say it's
because it was you know, it was immortalized in song
and well done. I mean, I don't think anybody expected
it to be a hit. You know, Lightfoot just it it.
He's from Canada's from that area, right, so he thought
he wanted to write hit him hard. He wrote the
(42:54):
song and then became a smash hit. Other than he
had several other big hits. Hey, you know, I don't
know if you were a Gordon Lightfoot guy, I tend
to be. But he had a Sundown. It was about a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I don't think I know any Lightfoot songs other than Sundown.
I think if you heard it, you'd recognize it. I mean,
just in passing, I'm sure you must have heard it.
It was a song about a layer, right. And then
he did a song.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Called Carefree Highway, and then he also did a song
Yeah Baby. Then he also did a song if you
Could Read My Mind, which is a brilliant piece of work.
It's literally about it his divorce, and it's uh, it's brilliant.
He was. It was a hell of a talent. Matter
(43:41):
of fact, Bob Dylan loved him. I thought he was
just a genius. And but yeah, so yes, it was
fifty years ago today it was it was. It was
twenty years ago today that Sergeant Pepper taught the band
to play, but it was fifty years ago today that
the ed Inphantsgerald all went down. Blah blah blah. What
(44:03):
about commons golf games? I didn't play though. The season
is not over.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Tim Toby, it's back to fifty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Well, Laggers is opening tomorrow. Other courses will as well,
and I'm playing Saturday. I've got a tea time already
locked in Saturday Preswick, and then Sunday I might go
over and play a little Logger. So yeah, no, there
are courses that are still open. The season is not
over yet.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
It's me sixty on Friday.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
I think I have what you have? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
We Oh, should we have synecon host or something? Talk football?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah? I may have to take a day off. And
you know, I got a lot of sick days and
you do. You do too.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I know we shouldn't have been talking earlier, right next
to each other. Good people, the same thing.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yep, that's what we got. Blah blah blah. What about
are yoga pants and breasts? Try boosting your sagging ratings?
Blah blah blah. More Gordon Lightfoot talk. That's about all
I know about Gordon.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Light I can't well the song the recommend the m
infants Gerald, let's do a quick little rock rank Rock
Rank Rock Rank Top five songs that don't have a
chorus in the song, rather than there's no chorus in
that song, is there? I think you're just going like
verse diverse. I think you're right. I don't know of
another song.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Because Bob Dylan does Tangled Up in Blue, and then
he does the Course and Tangled Up in Blue. That's
a good song too. He's just a brilliant writer. I
mean a lot of his lyrics don't even make any sense.
But I think that's why I like him. I like,
wouldn't they just throw just like what I do, just
throw gibberish around. It doesn't even make any sense. Here's
(46:04):
another option for Rosie referri to Walstead tiemy. Just call
him the Greek kids. I just love our I just

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.
