Keyword calendar. What's the name of the place again, Kieran's
(00:26):
Irish Pub and what time will that be?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Three to five pm Sunday?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
A We sure three to five because I was just
told that the golfers game is coverage at five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Then I didn't kick off at seven I was a
week ago.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Sometimes mistakes are made.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We are either a day later or a week behind
one or the other.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Couple thirteen to fourteen pass final Hour with the common
Man programmed for this from today and Friday. Halloween right
around the corner, and why I have some.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Grand Halloween costume ideas for you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
This one's says, dress up as a calendar with October
and November ripped out for the foreseeable future and go
as Twins playoff hopes.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Easily recognizable.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
If that's not a costume that is gonna go, I
wonder what that's supposed to be. They'll know exactly what
it is. Here's another now that it's October, here's a
Halloween costume idea. Going to dress up as the Payless
Shoes owner and go as one of the whole adds
new minority investors pay Less Shoes.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I we still don't know their investors do it? They
have yet to reveal that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well. I think I don't even know if they've been
approved yet. Will Isn't that also an approval process?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So I think they How long does that take?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't know. I have no idea. I can't concern
myself with it. I've said this once. I've said it
a couple thirteen fourteen times. I'm not interested in things
that don't concern me, though I probably should be. Here's
another idea, tennemy. I'm going to cover myself in Rod Stewart,
Sting and Elo albums and go as Warren, or at
least go as Warren's wishes for the Super Bowl halftime show,
(02:07):
Rod Stewart, Sting and Elo.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That is something, by the way, not a lot of
people are talking about those three.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, you're exactly right. Instead of going trick or treating,
I'm going to stay home and hand out candy, give
twenty percent of the candy in my bowl to one
trick or treater, leaving scraps for everyone else, and going
as Bill Garon managing hockey team. I'm going to wear
(02:38):
a blonde wig, rolled up sweater sleeves, call out malpractice
for anyone handing out candy that is yucky, gets suspended
for next year's Halloween, and go as Cheryl Reeds.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And then finally this one, I think you'll like this timmomy.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm going to dress up as an NFL skycam wire
and goes what Tennebee thinks is causing his t shots
to land in the next spare way. Now that is
the heck of a Halloween.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Cause I didn't see a you know, and you never
know what to believe anymore on the Internet because there's
so much AI and there's so much fake news. But
I did see a TikTok video of Rekerd's kick last
night that ended up short, yes, and someone doing look
at that. You can look at the wire from the
camera again. It hit hit the wire and it showed
(03:26):
the ball spitting the other way.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I thought that was yeah, you just never know.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean, you know, he was short on a fifty
three yard field goal. I'm guessing that was because they
just ran out on the field so they don't they
didn't have time to switch to the actual kicking balls, so.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They had to use the ball and then oh, yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So maybe that had something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But that's very unlike Riker to go short on a
fifty exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, when it was on the way, you know, I'm
sure you were like me. I thought it was in.
I mean I was stunned when they said it's no good.
I was saying, well, what do you mean it's no good?
But as you just stated, it was short.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Maybe it hit the wire.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It could have hit a wire, it could have hit
a camera wire. We just don't We just don't know.
Email that came into common Man at eleven thirty seven
last night from Backup Art Guy, Back Up Art Guy,
(04:21):
He writes common Today, I was reading about something called
the many World's interpretation of quantum mechanics. In a nutshell,
every time a choice with multiple possible outcomes is made,
the universe branches off into separate parallel universes where each
outcome occurs. And that's why we shouldn't be too sad
(04:44):
after that Carson Wentz performance, because just think of it.
Somewhere there's an alternate universe where the Vikings signed Aaron
Rodgers for ten million dollars. Justin Jefferson is leading the
league in tuddies, yards and receptions. Addison and Thelend's numbers
are through the roof. Hawkinson is a household name like
Travis Kelcey. Vikings win the big game. You and Tenna
(05:05):
are killing segments, playing parade routes. They're a team that
has talked about for generations to come as one of
the best offenses to ever exist. Instead, we're in this
reality where the Vikings did not sign Aaron Rodger for
ten million bucks. Sometimes I just can't believe it, And
this is what those bleed Purple fans wanted. Also, if
I remember the story right, this three meanings that there
(05:27):
was a parallel universe where you hopped into a car
with that Mexican bandido guy when you were Hitchhikings. I'm
sure glad I did it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I always loved that one.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
For those that don't know. I was hitchhiking one night.
A car pulled over. I opened the door. It was
two o'clock in the morning, and the guy one of
those old man masks on.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Those realistic looking ones, get in the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Car and I said, not going to work.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I said, you take that mask off first. He goes
get in the car and I go, nope, not going
to work, and I slammed the door shut. He started
to pull over the shoulder of the I look back
cars approaching. I start waving my arms at the car.
How about him? All the luck tend to be on
the dashboard. Two times a red light spins around. In
(06:13):
other words, it's an unmarked police car. He pulls over,
guy takes off. I rolled. The cop rolls on the
winn and goes, what's up. I go, it's hitchhiking. That
guy pulled over and he had some kind of an
old man mask on and wanted me to get in
the car.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And the complic to me and said get in the car. Well,
he's a cop.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So I did.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Hop in the car. We take off.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
He starts radio one out of twelve, one out of twelve.
We have a Mexican bandido. Well, they didn't know he
was the Mexican bandit. We've got an incident here. Within
two minutes.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Or five squad cars surrounding this guy and pulled him over.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They got him out of the car, They spread eagles
on the hood of the car.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
They opened the trunk of the car.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They pull out a Mexican sombrero and said, we think
this is what the guy told me. We think he's
the Mexican bandido. Some guy's been robbing places, worrying we're
wearing a sombrero. And then I I was kind of
hoping he was going to take me home at that point,
but he just I just okay, thanks. So what what
I did get from where we from where the Mexican
(07:16):
bandido guy pulled over, and where the cop picked me
up and they pulled over. I gained about two and
a half miles, So my walk home went from probably
being about five or six miles to two or three
or four.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So I did get a ride at least part way.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So the Mexican Bendito story reminds me of You've seen
Home Alone, right, the movie Home Alone? So I have
they got there's two of them, right, Well, there's multiple
of them. Now, yeah, but yeah, there was two with
mcaulay Culks. Yes, and I think I've seen both of them.
But yeah, yeah. The bad guy's name are the Wet Bandits,
and their signature is to plug up the sink, yes,
and then let the whole house flood.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And what they don't understand is, well, now when the
cops do get you, they they have all every single house.
You've now put your signature on every house that you robbed.
And I kind of feel like the same thing with
the sombrero, right, well, now we know every single story
you rob because you had your sombrero.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
That is correct. You are the Mexican sombrero guy.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And if I remember correctly, the ice very smart on
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And who are the two who are the two actors
again the bad guy actors in in uh Pesci Yeah, yeah,
Joe Petchy, I know the other guys, and I remember
the other guy's name is Marvin Harry.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
The characters and they uh and they they slipt on
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It was a very good movie.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
We watched We watch it every Christmas, Yes we do.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's what we do as well. It's even at my
boys ages of twenty two and twenty. We still watch it, though,
I must say I kind of watch it now the
second or third time with half an eye. You know.
I don't like to repeat things, you know, it's just
really not what I'd like to do. So there you go.
More talk backs, a couple more texts I like to talk. Yeah,
they are, They're nice. There, we'll start doing them more often.
(08:53):
And he gives it. Gives the listeners an opportunity to
weigh in, and they don't have to hang on hold
forever and do long rambling dissertations, much which have been
lifted from the books of Deuteronomy, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,
Joshua judges. I think in that order, then I'm out
(09:13):
of luck. After that we'll break.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We'll come back to him.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He's got a keyword, though.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The fan and two men in a junk rock want
to give you a shot to win Bonus bucks with
our National Cash contest. Just enter the keyword dollar at
kfe in dot com now for shadow winning.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
That keyword is dollar inter now.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
At kfe in dot coms.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
There was a time where game one of the.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Fall Classic World series would give me goosebumps mostly because
that's really cold. Actually it didn't back in the olden
days because it started in the first weekend in October.
Now because of what do we do? We do a
wild card? Do you have to win like three series
before you get to you do, right, unless you gotta
(10:14):
buy there's the first round that's wild card. Yeah, wild
card see us and then the and then the World Series.
LA Dodgers looking to be the first team to repeat
in a number of years. I I I read how
long it's been, but I don't recall now, but it
seems like it's been a long time. I could have
(10:35):
beat ten twelve, fifteen years maybe more since a team
repeated as World Series champs, and the Dodgers have as
good a chance as any. They won last year. I
actually thought the Brewers would would beat the Dodgers. They
had they had during the regular season matchups between the two,
(10:56):
the Brewers formerly of the America League now in the
National League for a number of years they be the Dodgers.
They swept them in the home and home, winning six
games to zippo, and then they just got swept. They
got broomed right out of the Nationalgue Championship Series.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Last time we had a repeat was the New York
Yankees in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Okay, that was a three peat.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So it's been twenty five years since it's happened.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
The Dodgers starting rotation dominated the Brewers in the NLCS
tennebe This is the starting staff. They posted a combined
zero point six three ERA. That's in four games, a
zero point six' THREE era with thirty five strikeouts in
(11:44):
twenty eight point two innings over four. Games the rotation
allowed just two earned runs in the, sweep with stella
performances From, Snell, Yamamoto Glass, now And. Otani game, One
snow pitched eight scoreless. Innings game, Two yamamoto through a complete,
(12:06):
game the first of its kind in the postseason in
eight years and eight years since a complete game was
tossed in The World. Series AND i always refer back
to probably people probably GET i don't like to repeat
myself very, often But i'm going to make an exception.
Here nineteen sixty eight my favorite year in sports WHEN
i was a. Kid that's when The tigers won The World.
(12:27):
Series my favorite baseball. Team Nicky lolich pitched three nine
inningcomplete game. Victories there was no setup, guy no, eight
ending guy no, clothes he pitched them. All Glass now
pitched five and two thirds In game, three gave up
just one, Run and then we know about the legendary
(12:47):
performance By. Otani he pitched six scoreless, innings recorded ten,
strikeouts and then he was named THE NLCS. Mvp overall
performance E ra zero point six to, three lowest In
Championship series history for starting rotation innings pitch twenty eight point,
(13:08):
two thirty five, strikeouts earned, runs only two hits allowed
just nine over four. Games is starting staff? Now, Again
remember there may have been a hit or two when
when relievers came in for for Glass, now because he
pitched eight Or snell pitched, eight Glass now just pitched
five and two thirds And otani just pitched.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
SIX i say, just but you know they did. Not
Only Ama mota went the.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Distance SO i don't know if that era was boosted
up when you, know or if there were a couple
more hits when the relievers came.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
In the REASON i bring that up IS i go
back to even a few.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Years before my beloved nineteen sixty Eight Detroit tigers won
The World series With Mickey lolis's brilliant performance with, pitching
AS i just, mentioned three to nine inningcomplete game. VICTORIES
i also remembered in nineteen sixty six when The dodgers
(14:04):
With Sandy, Colfax Don drysdale And Claude ostein took on
The Baltimore. Orioles and you've heard me mention that oriole
staff seventy. One that in seventy one they had four
pitchers win twenty. Games dave, McNally Jim, Palmer Mike quaar
And Pat dobson all won twenty. Games you'll never see
how many wins twenty games. Anymore so they just don't
go to the distance in. Games so we all get.
(14:26):
That but even back in nineteen sixty, Six baltimore was very.
Good they had a great stretch starting in sixty six
through seventy, one or through nineteen seventy, ONE i think
where they went.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
To they won One World. Series, wait they WON i
think Two World series.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Championships But i'm looking At oh, no don't do this
to me, now, please BECAUSE i planned this out so.
Carefully hold, on let me try it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Again here it is nineteen sixty Six World.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Series baltimore beats The dodgers in a sweep war games
to not.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Now game number, One baltimore wins five to.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Two, Okay and in that, Game dave McNally was the starting,
pitcher and he did not fare as well as you would.
Expect were his numbers? Here? Oh why is this not?
Cooperative i'd planned this out so. MUCH i Thought i've
(15:29):
done such a good.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Job, No i'm blown.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
IT i THOUGHT i had.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
The breakdown for each.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Game but so Now i'm mad at.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
You Said. Peterson PAGE. M.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Peterson i'm not gonna give up, here.
Speaker 5 (16:08):

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Bogie, Yeah i'm trying to salvage a. BOGEY i GUESS
i can Just, okay let me do it this, way
give me one more, second give me one, Second i'll do.
It nineteen Sixty World.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
SERIES i think we get to this part of the. Song,
Yeah i've never gotten. Here what are you looking?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
For looking for box?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Scores in nineteen sixty, Six.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yeah orioles defeated The dodgers five too In game One
orioles picture So dave McNally.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Struggled he gave up two runs in the first few.
Winnings Mo drabowski came out of the. Bullpen he earned
the win with six point two scoreless. Innings The dodger
had two runs and three hits in that.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Game tennamy the.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Two, runs three. Hits Don drysdale was the losing. Pitcher
just so you, know those were the only runs The
dodgers would score in The World series and getting swept
in four, games they were shut out in the next three.
Games game two box Score Jim palmer went nine, innings
(17:35):
gave up four, hits no, runs nine, innings four, hits no,
runs and now they're up two games to.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
None how about in that game of the, way Because
i'm looking at the box, Score, Yeah dodgers had six
errors in that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Game oh did they have six?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Errors obviously they couldn't field a pitch and give their
sales a chance to win the ball.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Game game three only took an hour and fifty five.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Minutes the only run of the game was scored in
the fifteen in our home run By Paul blair off
Of Claude. Pasting posting only surrendered three hits in that.
Game Wally, bunker who was the winning pitcher in that.
Game game three And wally gave. Up he gave up
(18:22):
six hits but no. Runs anow thethery're of three games to.
None and then you get to the game four box.
Score hold hold on to your, Horses hold on to your.
Horses game four won By dave, McNally, dodgers no, runs
only four, hits so six four four and what was it?
(18:47):
THREE i, believe in other, words that pitching performance by
the starting staff and the relief Pitcher modraboska for The
orioles every.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Bit.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
REALLY i, mean they gave up.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Almost seventeen hits in four.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Games, yeah seventeen hits in four, games just two.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Runs and so that's that's a hell of a. Performance
that's what the way they used to. Play and that's
why this that's why as much As i'm ALWAYS i
don't like The New york teams and THE la teams
and The chicago teams and the big cities and.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
This and that and, that BUT i do admire This dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Team that they're winning games with. Pitching that's WHAT i.
LIKE i like it just like back in the in
the olden days when pitching used to be the most
important part of the. Game we'll take a final, break
maybe a couple more talkbacks tend to me maybe you've
got something on your mind that's just been gnawing on.
You but we'll have one more segment to, go The
Victory formation. Segment we call. It after another winning week

WHEN i first started working, here but he's been here
longer THAN. I he was basically in charge of all

With greg as. WELL i Think i'm the only person
on the fan that every single day would spend at
least ten or, fifteen maybe twenty minutes to a half
hour BEFORE i went on the, air some, leadership some,
motivation and THEN i would oftentimes go there after my
(23:07):
shift at least for twenty minutes to a half. Hour

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, Together common And greg would travel on a boat
with billowed. Sail common kept a lookout perched On greg's gigantic,
tale noble kings and listeners would bow whenever they, came
and pirate radio stations would lower their flags When greg

roared out his. Name but, then of, course as those
familiar with the song By, Peter paul And, mary it,
says a top show host lives, forever but not so

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Know BACK.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
Acadec good, afternoon, guys this is.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Good just questioning some Of kos's play.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
Calling you're down a few offensive, linemen you can't get
the run game, going your quarterback's got a bad, shoulder
and you're doing, long drawn out passing. Routes wentz didn't
have time to even see the wide receiver turn around
to catch a, ball and then you get down to
the red zone and you go right into shotgun.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Formation you don't try to run the.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Rock a couple of times grolsm should have been in.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
There, Obviously wentz couldn't get any steam on the.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
BALL i don't necessarily disagree with all of. THAT i
do think we talked about that where chaos his offensive,
philosophy what his style. Is they do like to get
the ball down, field and with that offensive, line it
was difficult to. Do, now Maybe i'm missing. Something maybe
If kaos was here to, say, dude you have no
(28:48):
idea what you're talking. About we were trying to throw shorter.
Patterns there were just no time for the. Throw there
would be some that would think That wentz was hanging
onto the all too, much too. LONG i don't. KNOW i,
mean that does. Happen we've seen quarterbacks do, that and
maybe there was a player too which in which he did.
That but from the naked eye tend to be As i'm,
(29:10):
WATCHING i think it was mostly just no. PROTECTION i
don't think it was because he was hanging onto the
wall looking for an open. Receiver he seemed to be
under siege from start to. Finish that a lot to
do With darisaw out of the. Game and you, Know
Bran dell was doing a nice job at. CENTER i
guess under the, circumstances but there is on these third
game he's ever played, there and then and then.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
They're playing with two, starters and the two most important
on that line are your tackles the. Right i'm not
gonna act like KOs is a perfect play caller and
that you know. You i'm sure there's there's parts in
each game you can pick And, tuesday why is he doing?
This why is doing? THAT i think generally, speaking the
idea of you know you Mentioned koc likes the offense
(29:49):
where we're taking some time to develop and we want
to be able to hit some, intermediate deeper. Shots for
those asking for the vikings to now, change that's dial of.
Play and because maybe we don't have the pass rush
to do, it that's, fine but they also didn't have
they don't have the personnel to play the other way as. Well,
Right like all of their guys on offense are not yack.
(30:10):
Guys Justin, jefferson as good as he, is is not
a yet guy that you just. THROW i know he
had a good one a week, ago but generally, speaking
like throw him a two yard pass and he's gonna
Make he's gonna turn two into.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Fifteen he's not that. Guy Jordan edison's not that.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
GUY.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Tj hawkinson is not much of a yards after catch.
Guy they don't have an elite running back that's just
gonna make a bunch of people miss in those. Spots you,
Know Adam, thielen is he even on the team? Anymore
sounds like you're Describing detroit's.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Game they have guys that can make yards after, catching
and they have running backs that can make you can.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Play that way with.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That they have drafted and broad in players that fit
the style of offense koc wants to. Run and then
when you don't have the offensive line to do the,
protection they can't just all of a sudden change because
they don't.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Have the personnel to do.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
It Yet i've ever heard to say that that wouldn't
have changed the game around an interception a picked. Six,
man you are a complete idiot test that's ALL i.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Know name caller guys were calling.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Him that was at the beginning of the show where
you AND i had a.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Disagreement now you thought that had that not been overturned
and that would have been a pick, six it may
have changed the direction of the. GAME i insist that
in no, way shape or form hasn't changed that game
because how many times have we seen teams get a
pick six or something goes with? THERE i saw The
(31:38):
vikings shut Down philadelphia in AN Nfc championship game out
of three and out and then march down the field
and score seven.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Points they got beat thirty seven to.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
SEVEN i remember nor when The vikings shut, down The
patriots march down the, field the sophisticated offense was up
seven to. Nothing they lost thirty one to seven with
WHAT i saw after so, okay so the interception was.
Overruled there's nothing that prevented The vikings from intercepting another
(32:07):
pass or sacking a quarterback or. Something they just Allowed
herbert and The chargers offense to march down the field
in like a nine minute drive and score with a
tuddy and then they scored, again and then they scored,
again and our offense could do. Nothing, yeah it could
(32:28):
change the complexion of the game some BUT i think
anybody that thinks had that, upheld we'd be talking about
A viking. VICTORY i think your. DELUSIONAL i just, do
And i'm, sorry and you might not. BE i just
think it's. Insane it's not as though the game ended
up final score thirty seven thirty while we're thirty seven
twenty seven or thirty seven to. Twenty they got absolutely
(32:50):
destroyed in every phase of the. Game AND i just don't. Think,
again we'll never, know But i'll just say the, EMAIL
i think you're the idiot if you believe if you think,
that AND i Guess i'm mean.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Idiot, now, WELL i.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Just think it's. CRAZY i, MEAN i just think it's
crazy to think that that would have changed the game that.
MUCH i just don't.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
THINK i will say The chargers are the better.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Team and it's very likely as that game moves, along
regardless of whether The vikings got seven to begin with or,
not that the better team would have. Emerged but you, know,
yeah you mentioned The chargers walking up and down the
field scoring that first. Strive, sure, well now it's seven
to seven as opposed to seven, nothing and then when
they score their second, one it's fourteen nothing instead of
(33:34):
fourteen to. Seven, Right and the once you have down
multiple possessions in a national football, league it does a.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Game it does squeeze what you can do in your.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Playbook, right you have to play a different style of
play based off of. That and then we're not even
talking about just the human psychological, momentum just how you
can feel psychologically for both teams based off of a
pick six. Won they went to they probably went to.
One i'm just but to just completely dismiss. IT i
(34:05):
think it's an. Idiot you're an idiot for.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That the REASON i completely dismissed it is because the
game was so one. Sided it was like it was
literally like a varsity against a junior. Varsity it was.
THAT i mean The vikings couldn't run the, ball couldn't
pass the, ball they couldn't, stop they couldn't put Any
it was just. Awful SO i just in a closer,
GAME i would because if you can't if if if
(34:28):
you ever have a pick six in the very first
possession of the game overturned and you just curl up
in the fetal position because oh well we didn't get,
that points To, no it's really going to be bad
For cei Le. Marche then you're not psychologically tougher as
mentally tough enough. Team you're soft. Psychologically as a matter of.
Fact you should take that and. Go so they're going
to take that away from, us and robis somebody in
(34:49):
that on that side THAT i was supposed to, say
we just had a tuddy taken from. Us let's go
take it back from. Them nobody. DOES i don't is.
THERE i don't. KNOW i JUST i just think it's
it's to, me it's, it's it's. IT'S i think it's
ridiculous to think that could have.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Happened but ALL i, know those football games are about
big plays and, turnovers and that was a combination of
the both that was taking.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
On, indeed it was let's see what this one, Says.
Speaker 12 (35:12):
Hey com and Hey. Tanna you, know from This roop's,
perspective KOs has three. Jobs is to put the best
team on the field to, win protect his, team and
protect his. Players and last night he did none of those.
Three he failed at all of. Them and we have
to ask the, question why won't he Play. Brosmer i'm
No gophers, fan but you have to wonder Why brosmer
can't see the field until there's a minute thirty left
(35:34):
in a game that's a.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Blowout just, why you. Know, AGAIN i also do not
think That roseman would have been the. Answer like all
of a, sudden we, found you, Know Nick foles for
a h you, know When Nick foles had that magical
little bit of a. RUN i do think here's What
i'll tell, you McCarthy was a health, deem not healthy
(36:01):
enough to. Play you're gonna tell Me wentz was healthy
enough to. Play it's double, standard. Correct wentz was not
should in no, way shape or. Form did you see
that he had the brace from the very first time
he got in that very first time that he got knocked.
Down it wasn't a vicious body, slam and he was immediately.
Going wentz was win seen about the? Paint why is
(36:23):
he in the? Game and, AGAIN i know if the
medical staff, says, well, yeah he can, play, well the
same thing McCarthy could, have.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well wentz and just maybe a pain tolerance, thing, right
like you're not going to make the injury worse by
playing it says can you handle the? Pain but that
was my point going into Last you, know when we
were having the McCarthy wentz, debate you know this idea
THAT jj McCarthy has to be one hundred percent to.
PLAY i just thought was, fallacy, right like right. RIGHT
(36:51):
i know he's Got Pat, mahomes But Pat mahomes has
had sprain ankles and he goes out in the. Place
if if you THOUGHT jj McCarthy with a ninety eight
eighty ankle gave you the best chance to, WIN i
still think you play them UNLESS i don't think it
could have gotten worse at that point with a sprained.
Ankle so there was more to it than just we's
got to be one hundred. Percent nobody plays one hundred
percent in THE. Nfl very. Rarely they're all beat.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Up, yeah except maybe opening day and then after the first,
game usually got bumps and, bruises and some players. Stay you,
know depending on your position and your activity level in the. Game,
yeah you might last a, week but certainly by the
time you get to this point of the, season six,
seven eight games and everybody's got an i'll we.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Jj you'll be back next. Week so you'll be back
because see what we.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Got, yeah we'll see. Him it's got a soft part
of the schedule Because detroit's really not very very good,
boy it could get, ugly but we'll see tend.
Speaker 3 (37:48):

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Three to five pm Sunday?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
A We sure three to five because I was just
told that the golfers game is coverage at five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Then I didn't kick off at seven I was a
week ago.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Sometimes mistakes are made.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We are either a day later or a week behind
one or the other.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Couple thirteen to fourteen pass final Hour with the common
Man programmed for this from today and Friday. Halloween right
around the corner, and why I have some.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Grand Halloween costume ideas for you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
This one's says, dress up as a calendar with October
and November ripped out for the foreseeable future and go
as Twins playoff hopes.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Easily recognizable.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
If that's not a costume that is gonna go, I
wonder what that's supposed to be. They'll know exactly what
it is. Here's another now that it's October, here's a
Halloween costume idea. Going to dress up as the Payless
Shoes owner and go as one of the whole adds
new minority investors pay Less Shoes.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I we still don't know their investors do it? They
have yet to reveal that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well. I think I don't even know if they've been
approved yet. Will Isn't that also an approval process?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So I think they How long does that take?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't know. I have no idea. I can't concern
myself with it. I've said this once. I've said it
a couple thirteen fourteen times. I'm not interested in things
that don't concern me, though I probably should be. Here's
another idea, tennemy. I'm going to cover myself in Rod Stewart,
Sting and Elo albums and go as Warren, or at
least go as Warren's wishes for the Super Bowl halftime show,
(02:07):
Rod Stewart, Sting and Elo.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That is something, by the way, not a lot of
people are talking about those three.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, you're exactly right. Instead of going trick or treating,
I'm going to stay home and hand out candy, give
twenty percent of the candy in my bowl to one
trick or treater, leaving scraps for everyone else, and going
as Bill Garon managing hockey team. I'm going to wear
(02:38):
a blonde wig, rolled up sweater sleeves, call out malpractice
for anyone handing out candy that is yucky, gets suspended
for next year's Halloween, and go as Cheryl Reeds.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And then finally this one, I think you'll like this timmomy.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm going to dress up as an NFL skycam wire
and goes what Tennebee thinks is causing his t shots
to land in the next spare way. Now that is
the heck of a Halloween.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Cause I didn't see a you know, and you never
know what to believe anymore on the Internet because there's
so much AI and there's so much fake news. But
I did see a TikTok video of Rekerd's kick last
night that ended up short, yes, and someone doing look
at that. You can look at the wire from the
camera again. It hit hit the wire and it showed
(03:26):
the ball spitting the other way.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I thought that was yeah, you just never know.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean, you know, he was short on a fifty
three yard field goal. I'm guessing that was because they
just ran out on the field so they don't they
didn't have time to switch to the actual kicking balls, so.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They had to use the ball and then oh, yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So maybe that had something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But that's very unlike Riker to go short on a
fifty exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, when it was on the way, you know, I'm
sure you were like me. I thought it was in.
I mean I was stunned when they said it's no good.
I was saying, well, what do you mean it's no good?
But as you just stated, it was short.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Maybe it hit the wire.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It could have hit a wire, it could have hit
a camera wire. We just don't We just don't know.
Email that came into common Man at eleven thirty seven
last night from Backup Art Guy, Back Up Art Guy,
(04:21):
He writes common Today, I was reading about something called
the many World's interpretation of quantum mechanics. In a nutshell,
every time a choice with multiple possible outcomes is made,
the universe branches off into separate parallel universes where each
outcome occurs. And that's why we shouldn't be too sad
(04:44):
after that Carson Wentz performance, because just think of it.
Somewhere there's an alternate universe where the Vikings signed Aaron
Rodgers for ten million dollars. Justin Jefferson is leading the
league in tuddies, yards and receptions. Addison and Thelend's numbers
are through the roof. Hawkinson is a household name like
Travis Kelcey. Vikings win the big game. You and Tenna
(05:05):
are killing segments, playing parade routes. They're a team that
has talked about for generations to come as one of
the best offenses to ever exist. Instead, we're in this
reality where the Vikings did not sign Aaron Rodger for
ten million bucks. Sometimes I just can't believe it, And
this is what those bleed Purple fans wanted. Also, if
I remember the story right, this three meanings that there
(05:27):
was a parallel universe where you hopped into a car
with that Mexican bandido guy when you were Hitchhikings. I'm
sure glad I did it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I always loved that one.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
For those that don't know. I was hitchhiking one night.
A car pulled over. I opened the door. It was
two o'clock in the morning, and the guy one of
those old man masks on.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Those realistic looking ones, get in the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Car and I said, not going to work.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I said, you take that mask off first. He goes
get in the car and I go, nope, not going
to work, and I slammed the door shut. He started
to pull over the shoulder of the I look back
cars approaching. I start waving my arms at the car.
How about him? All the luck tend to be on
the dashboard. Two times a red light spins around. In
(06:13):
other words, it's an unmarked police car. He pulls over,
guy takes off. I rolled. The cop rolls on the
winn and goes, what's up. I go, it's hitchhiking. That
guy pulled over and he had some kind of an
old man mask on and wanted me to get in
the car.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And the complic to me and said get in the car. Well,
he's a cop.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So I did.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Hop in the car. We take off.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
He starts radio one out of twelve, one out of twelve.
We have a Mexican bandido. Well, they didn't know he
was the Mexican bandit. We've got an incident here. Within
two minutes.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Or five squad cars surrounding this guy and pulled him over.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
They got him out of the car, They spread eagles
on the hood of the car.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
They opened the trunk of the car.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They pull out a Mexican sombrero and said, we think
this is what the guy told me. We think he's
the Mexican bandido. Some guy's been robbing places, worrying we're
wearing a sombrero. And then I I was kind of
hoping he was going to take me home at that point,
but he just I just okay, thanks. So what what
I did get from where we from where the Mexican
(07:16):
bandido guy pulled over, and where the cop picked me
up and they pulled over. I gained about two and
a half miles, So my walk home went from probably
being about five or six miles to two or three
or four.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So I did get a ride at least part way.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So the Mexican Bendito story reminds me of You've seen
Home Alone, right, the movie Home Alone? So I have
they got there's two of them, right, Well, there's multiple
of them. Now, yeah, but yeah, there was two with
mcaulay Culks. Yes, and I think I've seen both of them.
But yeah, yeah. The bad guy's name are the Wet Bandits,
and their signature is to plug up the sink, yes,
and then let the whole house flood.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And what they don't understand is, well, now when the
cops do get you, they they have all every single house.
You've now put your signature on every house that you robbed.
And I kind of feel like the same thing with
the sombrero, right, well, now we know every single story
you rob because you had your sombrero.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
That is correct. You are the Mexican sombrero guy.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And if I remember correctly, the ice very smart on
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And who are the two who are the two actors
again the bad guy actors in in uh Pesci Yeah, yeah,
Joe Petchy, I know the other guys, and I remember
the other guy's name is Marvin Harry.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
The characters and they uh and they they slipt on
the steps.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It was a very good movie.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
We watched We watch it every Christmas, Yes we do.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's what we do as well. It's even at my
boys ages of twenty two and twenty. We still watch it, though,
I must say I kind of watch it now the
second or third time with half an eye. You know.
I don't like to repeat things, you know, it's just
really not what I'd like to do. So there you go.
More talk backs, a couple more texts I like to talk. Yeah,
they are, They're nice. There, we'll start doing them more often.
(08:53):
And he gives it. Gives the listeners an opportunity to
weigh in, and they don't have to hang on hold
forever and do long rambling dissertations, much which have been
lifted from the books of Deuteronomy, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,
Joshua judges. I think in that order, then I'm out
(09:13):
of luck. After that we'll break.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
We'll come back to him.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He's got a keyword, though.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The fan and two men in a junk rock want

Fall Classic World series would give me goosebumps mostly because
that's really cold. Actually it didn't back in the olden
days because it started in the first weekend in October.
Now because of what do we do? We do a

LA Dodgers looking to be the first team to repeat
in a number of years. I I I read how
long it's been, but I don't recall now, but it
seems like it's been a long time. I could have
(10:35):
beat ten twelve, fifteen years maybe more since a team
repeated as World Series champs, and the Dodgers have as
good a chance as any. They won last year. I
actually thought the Brewers would would beat the Dodgers. They
had they had during the regular season matchups between the two,
(10:56):
the Brewers formerly of the America League now in the
National League for a number of years they be the Dodgers.
They swept them in the home and home, winning six
games to zippo, and then they just got swept. They
got broomed right out of the Nationalgue Championship Series.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Last time we had a repeat was the New York
Yankees in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Okay, that was a three peat.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So it's been twenty five years since it's happened.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
The Dodgers starting rotation dominated the Brewers in the NLCS
tennebe This is the starting staff. They posted a combined
zero point six three ERA. That's in four games, a
zero point six' THREE era with thirty five strikeouts in
(11:44):
twenty eight point two innings over four. Games the rotation
allowed just two earned runs in the, sweep with stella
performances From, Snell, Yamamoto Glass, now And. Otani game, One
snow pitched eight scoreless. Innings game, Two yamamoto through a complete,
(12:06):
game the first of its kind in the postseason in
eight years and eight years since a complete game was
tossed in The World. Series AND i always refer back
to probably people probably GET i don't like to repeat
myself very, often But i'm going to make an exception.
Here nineteen sixty eight my favorite year in sports WHEN
i was a. Kid that's when The tigers won The World.
(12:27):
Series my favorite baseball. Team Nicky lolich pitched three nine
inningcomplete game. Victories there was no setup, guy no, eight
ending guy no, clothes he pitched them. All Glass now
pitched five and two thirds In game, three gave up
just one, Run and then we know about the legendary
(12:47):
performance By. Otani he pitched six scoreless, innings recorded ten,
strikeouts and then he was named THE NLCS. Mvp overall
performance E ra zero point six to, three lowest In
Championship series history for starting rotation innings pitch twenty eight point,
(13:08):
two thirty five, strikeouts earned, runs only two hits allowed
just nine over four. Games is starting staff? Now, Again
remember there may have been a hit or two when
when relievers came in for for Glass, now because he
pitched eight Or snell pitched, eight Glass now just pitched
five and two thirds And otani just pitched.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
SIX i say, just but you know they did. Not
Only Ama mota went the.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Distance SO i don't know if that era was boosted
up when you, know or if there were a couple
more hits when the relievers came.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
In the REASON i bring that up IS i go
back to even a few.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Years before my beloved nineteen sixty Eight Detroit tigers won
The World series With Mickey lolis's brilliant performance with, pitching
AS i just, mentioned three to nine inningcomplete game. VICTORIES
i also remembered in nineteen sixty six when The dodgers
(14:04):
With Sandy, Colfax Don drysdale And Claude ostein took on
The Baltimore. Orioles and you've heard me mention that oriole
staff seventy. One that in seventy one they had four
pitchers win twenty. Games dave, McNally Jim, Palmer Mike quaar
And Pat dobson all won twenty. Games you'll never see
how many wins twenty games. Anymore so they just don't
go to the distance in. Games so we all get.
(14:26):
That but even back in nineteen sixty, Six baltimore was very.
Good they had a great stretch starting in sixty six
through seventy, one or through nineteen seventy, ONE i think
where they went.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
To they won One World. Series, wait they WON i
think Two World series.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Championships But i'm looking At oh, no don't do this
to me, now, please BECAUSE i planned this out so.
Carefully hold, on let me try it.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Again here it is nineteen sixty Six World.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Series baltimore beats The dodgers in a sweep war games
to not.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Now game number, One baltimore wins five to.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Two, Okay and in that, Game dave McNally was the starting,
pitcher and he did not fare as well as you would.
Expect were his numbers? Here? Oh why is this not?
Cooperative i'd planned this out so. MUCH i Thought i've
(15:29):
done such a good.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Job, No i'm blown.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
IT i THOUGHT i had.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
The breakdown for each.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Game but so Now i'm mad at.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
You Said. Peterson PAGE. M.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Peterson i'm not gonna give up, here.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Lose a.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Listener you hit your ball unto the. Woods, yeah but
it's just so high him salvage a.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Bogie, Yeah i'm trying to salvage a. BOGEY i GUESS
i can Just, okay let me do it this, way
give me one more, second give me one, Second i'll do.
It nineteen Sixty World.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
SERIES i think we get to this part of the. Song,
Yeah i've never gotten. Here what are you looking?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
For looking for box?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Scores in nineteen sixty, Six.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yeah orioles defeated The dodgers five too In game One
orioles picture So dave McNally.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Struggled he gave up two runs in the first few.
Winnings Mo drabowski came out of the. Bullpen he earned
the win with six point two scoreless. Innings The dodger
had two runs and three hits in that.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Game tennamy the.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Two, runs three. Hits Don drysdale was the losing. Pitcher
just so you, know those were the only runs The
dodgers would score in The World series and getting swept
in four, games they were shut out in the next three.
Games game two box Score Jim palmer went nine, innings
(17:35):
gave up four, hits no, runs nine, innings four, hits no,
runs and now they're up two games to.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
None how about in that game of the, way Because
i'm looking at the box, Score, Yeah dodgers had six
errors in that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Game oh did they have six?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Errors obviously they couldn't field a pitch and give their
sales a chance to win the ball.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Game game three only took an hour and fifty five.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Minutes the only run of the game was scored in
the fifteen in our home run By Paul blair off
Of Claude. Pasting posting only surrendered three hits in that.
Game Wally, bunker who was the winning pitcher in that.
Game game three And wally gave. Up he gave up
(18:22):
six hits but no. Runs anow thethery're of three games to.
None and then you get to the game four box.
Score hold hold on to your, Horses hold on to your.
Horses game four won By dave, McNally, dodgers no, runs
only four, hits so six four four and what was it?
(18:47):
THREE i, believe in other, words that pitching performance by
the starting staff and the relief Pitcher modraboska for The
orioles every.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Bit.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
REALLY i, mean they gave up.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Almost seventeen hits in four.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Games, yeah seventeen hits in four, games just two.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Runs and so that's that's a hell of a. Performance
that's what the way they used to. Play and that's
why this that's why as much As i'm ALWAYS i
don't like The New york teams and THE la teams
and The chicago teams and the big cities and.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
This and that and, that BUT i do admire This dodgers.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Team that they're winning games with. Pitching that's WHAT i.
LIKE i like it just like back in the in
the olden days when pitching used to be the most
important part of the. Game we'll take a final, break
maybe a couple more talkbacks tend to me maybe you've
got something on your mind that's just been gnawing on.
You but we'll have one more segment to, go The
Victory formation. Segment we call. It after another winning week
here on the Common man program on the, fan this
(19:52):

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Fact that it made the press bring me the news.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Wrote a piece up that our former senior vice president of,
Programming Greg, sweedberg who was held that position FOR i
don't know if that was the name of the position
WHEN i first started working, here but he's been here
longer THAN. I he was basically in charge of all
we have six stations in our there's a down to.
FIVE i think it's six six stations in our cluster
(20:55):
here In, minneapolis and he oversees them. All he was
program director OF k ONE o, two and Then Chad
ABBOTT pd for The fan and and the Crack Box conservative,
station and then my good Friend Mitch. Davis mitch is
now he WAS i Think katie W b And cities
(21:19):
and Maybe cool as. Well But greg.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Has now been.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Promoted he is now going To he, said he's not
really overseen all the country stations in the iHeartMedia chain,
nationwide but he is like a consultant right and and
visits with them and helps guide them because he's done
such a terrific job. Here he's so good at what he.
Does he was just recently inducted into The Country Radio
(21:49):
hall Of. Fame that's how good he is at his.
Job and, Well i'm happy For. Greg i'm sad for

Speaker 2 (22:37):
When he's never working from, home never working from, homestel,
vote never, remote.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Constantly, working AND i would other Than Chris carr in
The Morning, show they always spend a lot of time
With greg as. WELL i Think i'm the only person
on the fan that every single day would spend at
least ten or, fifteen maybe twenty minutes to a half
hour BEFORE i went on the, air some, leadership some,
motivation and THEN i would oftentimes go there after my
(23:07):
shift at least for twenty minutes to a half. Hour

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, Together common And greg would travel on a boat
with billowed. Sail common kept a lookout perched On greg's gigantic,
tale noble kings and listeners would bow whenever they, came
and pirate radio stations would lower their flags When greg
(23:40):
roared out his. Name but, then of, course as those
familiar with the song By, Peter paul And, mary it,
says a top show host lives, forever but not so
senior vice presidents of. Programming painted wings and giant rings make,

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Know BACK.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
Acadec good, afternoon, guys this is.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Good just questioning some Of kos's play.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
Calling you're down a few offensive, linemen you can't get
the run game, going your quarterback's got a bad, shoulder
and you're doing, long drawn out passing. Routes wentz didn't
have time to even see the wide receiver turn around
to catch a, ball and then you get down to
the red zone and you go right into shotgun.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Formation you don't try to run the.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Rock a couple of times grolsm should have been in.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
There, Obviously wentz couldn't get any steam on the.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
BALL i don't necessarily disagree with all of. THAT i
do think we talked about that where chaos his offensive,
philosophy what his style. Is they do like to get
the ball down, field and with that offensive, line it
was difficult to. Do, now Maybe i'm missing. Something maybe
If kaos was here to, say, dude you have no
(28:48):
idea what you're talking. About we were trying to throw shorter.
Patterns there were just no time for the. Throw there
would be some that would think That wentz was hanging
onto the all too, much too. LONG i don't. KNOW i,
mean that does. Happen we've seen quarterbacks do, that and
maybe there was a player too which in which he did.
That but from the naked eye tend to be As i'm,
(29:10):
WATCHING i think it was mostly just no. PROTECTION i
don't think it was because he was hanging onto the
wall looking for an open. Receiver he seemed to be
under siege from start to. Finish that a lot to
do With darisaw out of the. Game and you, Know
Bran dell was doing a nice job at. CENTER i
guess under the, circumstances but there is on these third
game he's ever played, there and then and then.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
They're playing with two, starters and the two most important
on that line are your tackles the. Right i'm not
gonna act like KOs is a perfect play caller and
that you know. You i'm sure there's there's parts in
each game you can pick And, tuesday why is he doing?
This why is doing? THAT i think generally, speaking the
idea of you know you Mentioned koc likes the offense
(29:49):
where we're taking some time to develop and we want
to be able to hit some, intermediate deeper. Shots for
those asking for the vikings to now, change that's dial of.
Play and because maybe we don't have the pass rush
to do, it that's, fine but they also didn't have
they don't have the personnel to play the other way as. Well,
Right like all of their guys on offense are not yack.
(30:10):
Guys Justin, jefferson as good as he, is is not
a yet guy that you just. THROW i know he
had a good one a week, ago but generally, speaking
like throw him a two yard pass and he's gonna
Make he's gonna turn two into.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Fifteen he's not that. Guy Jordan edison's not that.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
GUY.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Tj hawkinson is not much of a yards after catch.
Guy they don't have an elite running back that's just
gonna make a bunch of people miss in those. Spots you,
Know Adam, thielen is he even on the team? Anymore
sounds like you're Describing detroit's.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Game they have guys that can make yards after, catching
and they have running backs that can make you can.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Play that way with.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That they have drafted and broad in players that fit
the style of offense koc wants to. Run and then
when you don't have the offensive line to do the,
protection they can't just all of a sudden change because
they don't.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Have the personnel to do.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
It Yet i've ever heard to say that that wouldn't
have changed the game around an interception a picked. Six,
man you are a complete idiot test that's ALL i.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Know name caller guys were calling.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Him that was at the beginning of the show where
you AND i had a.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Disagreement now you thought that had that not been overturned
and that would have been a pick, six it may
have changed the direction of the. GAME i insist that
in no, way shape or form hasn't changed that game
because how many times have we seen teams get a
pick six or something goes with? THERE i saw The
(31:38):
vikings shut Down philadelphia in AN Nfc championship game out
of three and out and then march down the field
and score seven.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Points they got beat thirty seven to.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
SEVEN i remember nor when The vikings shut, down The
patriots march down the, field the sophisticated offense was up
seven to. Nothing they lost thirty one to seven with
WHAT i saw after so, okay so the interception was.
Overruled there's nothing that prevented The vikings from intercepting another
(32:07):
pass or sacking a quarterback or. Something they just Allowed
herbert and The chargers offense to march down the field
in like a nine minute drive and score with a
tuddy and then they scored, again and then they scored,
again and our offense could do. Nothing, yeah it could
(32:28):
change the complexion of the game some BUT i think
anybody that thinks had that, upheld we'd be talking about
A viking. VICTORY i think your. DELUSIONAL i just, do
And i'm, sorry and you might not. BE i just
think it's. Insane it's not as though the game ended
up final score thirty seven thirty while we're thirty seven
twenty seven or thirty seven to. Twenty they got absolutely
(32:50):
destroyed in every phase of the. Game AND i just don't. Think,
again we'll never, know But i'll just say the, EMAIL
i think you're the idiot if you believe if you think,
that AND i Guess i'm mean.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Idiot, now, WELL i.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Just think it's. CRAZY i, MEAN i just think it's
crazy to think that that would have changed the game that.
MUCH i just don't.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
THINK i will say The chargers are the better.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Team and it's very likely as that game moves, along
regardless of whether The vikings got seven to begin with or,
not that the better team would have. Emerged but you, know,
yeah you mentioned The chargers walking up and down the
field scoring that first. Strive, sure, well now it's seven
to seven as opposed to seven, nothing and then when
they score their second, one it's fourteen nothing instead of
(33:34):
fourteen to. Seven, Right and the once you have down
multiple possessions in a national football, league it does a.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Game it does squeeze what you can do in your.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Playbook, right you have to play a different style of
play based off of. That and then we're not even
talking about just the human psychological, momentum just how you
can feel psychologically for both teams based off of a
pick six. Won they went to they probably went to.
One i'm just but to just completely dismiss. IT i
(34:05):
think it's an. Idiot you're an idiot for.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That the REASON i completely dismissed it is because the
game was so one. Sided it was like it was
literally like a varsity against a junior. Varsity it was.
THAT i mean The vikings couldn't run the, ball couldn't
pass the, ball they couldn't, stop they couldn't put Any
it was just. Awful SO i just in a closer,
GAME i would because if you can't if if if
(34:28):
you ever have a pick six in the very first
possession of the game overturned and you just curl up
in the fetal position because oh well we didn't get,
that points To, no it's really going to be bad
For cei Le. Marche then you're not psychologically tougher as
mentally tough enough. Team you're soft. Psychologically as a matter of.
Fact you should take that and. Go so they're going
to take that away from, us and robis somebody in
(34:49):
that on that side THAT i was supposed to, say
we just had a tuddy taken from. Us let's go
take it back from. Them nobody. DOES i don't is.
THERE i don't. KNOW i JUST i just think it's
it's to, me it's, it's it's. IT'S i think it's
ridiculous to think that could have.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Happened but ALL i, know those football games are about
big plays and, turnovers and that was a combination of
the both that was taking.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
On, indeed it was let's see what this one, Says.
Speaker 12 (35:12):
Hey com and Hey. Tanna you, know from This roop's,
perspective KOs has three. Jobs is to put the best
team on the field to, win protect his, team and
protect his. Players and last night he did none of those.
Three he failed at all of. Them and we have
to ask the, question why won't he Play. Brosmer i'm
No gophers, fan but you have to wonder Why brosmer
can't see the field until there's a minute thirty left
(35:34):
in a game that's a.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Blowout just, why you. Know, AGAIN i also do not
think That roseman would have been the. Answer like all
of a, sudden we, found you, Know Nick foles for
a h you, know When Nick foles had that magical
little bit of a. RUN i do think here's What
i'll tell, you McCarthy was a health, deem not healthy
(36:01):
enough to. Play you're gonna tell Me wentz was healthy
enough to. Play it's double, standard. Correct wentz was not
should in no, way shape or. Form did you see
that he had the brace from the very first time
he got in that very first time that he got knocked.
Down it wasn't a vicious body, slam and he was immediately.
Going wentz was win seen about the? Paint why is
(36:23):
he in the? Game and, AGAIN i know if the
medical staff, says, well, yeah he can, play, well the
same thing McCarthy could, have.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well wentz and just maybe a pain tolerance, thing, right
like you're not going to make the injury worse by
playing it says can you handle the? Pain but that
was my point going into Last you, know when we
were having the McCarthy wentz, debate you know this idea
THAT jj McCarthy has to be one hundred percent to.
PLAY i just thought was, fallacy, right like right. RIGHT
(36:51):
i know he's Got Pat, mahomes But Pat mahomes has
had sprain ankles and he goes out in the. Place
if if you THOUGHT jj McCarthy with a ninety eight
eighty ankle gave you the best chance to, WIN i
still think you play them UNLESS i don't think it
could have gotten worse at that point with a sprained.
Ankle so there was more to it than just we's
got to be one hundred. Percent nobody plays one hundred
percent in THE. Nfl very. Rarely they're all beat.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Up, yeah except maybe opening day and then after the first,
game usually got bumps and, bruises and some players. Stay you,

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
