Speaker 2 (00:36):
You've taught me so much, Kenneby, you'd be the teacher
I would nominate, even though you weren't technically a teacher
of mine.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You've taught me so many things.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
A couple of thirteen fourteen past I remember two begins
with five three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Four time now four.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Five questions?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well, actually three, but five sounds like more than four.
Question number one.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Time now for an in depth look at the state
of the state of hockey.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yea of hockey. Well here, well, here is what I'll
tell you. It should be stayed of hockey.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But I remember I said go eight one and one,
nine one and one. In the month of November and
get back to me. That's what I said, and lo
and behold that's what they've done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I think I also was the first one in town
that said vall said needs to be playing.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yep, you did, you were the but yeah, you just
mentioned it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The Wild there league best nine one one in the
month of November, after shutting out the Penguins five nothing
Friday night, and then they shout out to Jets three
nothing yesterday in Winnipeg. Yes, for Ball said made thirty
two says for his NHL leading third shot out in
his past four starts. They have scored first in a
franchise record twelve consecutive games, which is tied for the
tenth large longest run in NHL history, and the Wild
(02:09):
haven't even trailed for the last eight games, a stretch
of four hundred and eighty minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Common Are the Wild a wagon?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, they're they're a wagon?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
A wagon?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It's just kind of a kid's term, is it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know that I'm learning the kids terms all
the time. They're a wagon. Deuce.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Looked up some numbers and I don't remember what they were.
But the longest scoreless streak for a goaltender. Some guy
in like nineteen twenty two had like three hundred and
eighty three minutes. They had minutes they didn't ever buy games.
So how many minutes that back to back shutouts?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three hundred eighty minutes? Something like, oh, that's like over
that's six seven games.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, right, six seven games?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Six seven?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But how many minutes in a row? Now for for
a wall soon it's two games?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Know, gust isn't at the shutout Friday night, Vall said
it had two shutouts and then I think he gave
up two or three goals against Carolina and then got
another shutout.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Okay, okay, well so now he has sixty team right,
but he has sixty minutes and then whatever minutes of
the last goal scored in the game he.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Gave up two? What if he does put together a streek?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
What if?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He asked, because if he's had a couple of shutouts,
there's no reason he can't continue on this instead of
new National Hockey League record, it's exciting, it's it did
look I was, you know, I always do that. Get
to the Western Conference finals and get back to me
us with the with the wild it was basically get
to double digit wins and get back to me. They
(03:45):
were so bad, but now you said it, they've got
They have the best record in the month of November,
and much of it, I think, Cassi, you would know
better than I do.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Much of it has to do just with a goaltending obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
In front of them, defense in front of them, and
then just scoring timely goals offense playing well the team
is playing, at least for the month of November, championship
caliber hockey.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Here's what I'll say, because I'm going to relate this
back to the Vikings. Right like yesterday when JJ McCarthy
was taking a lot of criticism, you get people that
jump out and go, well, he's not getting protection, he's
not going to play calling blah blah blah, and they
want to try to deflect blame from JJ McCarthy. I
do believe, whether it's right or not, that it's human
nature that if you don't have confidence in somebody that's
(04:33):
on the team with you, it has an impact and
effect on the way you play. Right Like, I've played
many a hockey game as a defenceman, whereas if I
don't have confidence in the goalie behind me, it changes
the way I play, or if I don't have confidence
in the team i'm playing with. Right, if I don't
have confidence my forwards are going to score, I might
start trying to take more chances and play more aggressively. Right,
(04:53):
if I don't have confidence in my goaltender making the save,
I feel like I have to go after the puck
carrier all the time, as opposed to, oh, I can
him shoot that because my goal he's gonna stop it.
And I think that's happening a little bit with the Right.
Like all the drops you've had from Bikings wide receiver,
I just I think some of them might just be
a little bit lacking focus, checked out. And I think
now the opposite has happened with the Wild where it
(05:14):
started with Volstead, I think he just kind of infused
just boost of confidence into the team of Hey, you
guys are struggling, I'm going to have your back, and
now everyone else is playing a little bit more freer
and obviously more successful in that regard.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It has an influence on the entire team.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Brilliant.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I also think you could take this another step. You
seem like you've been checked out of the show for
like two years, and I think is you don't have
a lot of confidence in the host to carry a
program for three hours. You just have no Okay, just
why do I even bother? There's there's nothing I can
do to help.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Just wait till you see the producers of the ten Fitzgerald.
It's even worse.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Than They've already got life jackets on, and yeah they're
gun ready to go. I understand. Yeah, I think you're
onto something. Tennem he could very well be. But all
I know is are playing awfully well right now.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Question number two, Well, let's get to the negative stories then,
huh uh common What was the bigger Minnesota meltdown this weekend?
A the Wolves blowing an eight point lead with fifty
seconds to play in Phoenix, or b the Gophers blowing
a twenty eight thirteen third quarter lead to Northwestern at
Wrigley Field. So the Gopher football team had a fifteen
(06:28):
point lead at north at Wrigley Field. Against Northwestern, their
defense was awful. Timberwolves could hit free throws. Their defense
was awful.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I think the Wolves, I mean when you have I
mean again, the Golphers are the Golphers right there? We
know they're they've had three now again to ranked team
now Iowa. I don't think was ranked when they got
beat whatever it was forty one to three, whatever that
final was, I don't recall, but you know, well Hopstate
was number one, Morgan was number eight. We know we're
not in their class. And I'm not making an excuse
for the golfers. It shouldn't be after nine years with
(07:00):
Fleck and don't give me all the nil and all that.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You still should.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You shouldn't get embarrassed like and then he was really
defensive again here he was going last last game last week.
Does he keeps doing it? Is anybody else tired of
the Champion Chips season?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
For each week?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That never did much for me to begin with. I
get it taken one game at a time, but you
know he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He did it again.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
He goes that game last week didn't matter anyway to
this week. In other words, he's trying to separate himself
from the beatdowns. He wants to talk and he was
making this almost seem like it was a moral victory to.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Only lose to Northwestern.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
By three, and you know they missed a forty yard
field goal that would have tied it. Your kids should hang.
I love him, but the kid, I don't know who
he is. He should have been able to get a four.
You got to make a thing, you know, it's like,
but when you're a professional basketball team. And what I heard,
I saw a quote from one of the Phoenix players
that said the Wolves, especially Lomrndel, were talking trash for
fifty seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Aunt misses a couple of free throws, they turn the
ball over, and a couple of inbounds passes, and again
the Wolves have Now there.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Are they ten and zero.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Against teams with losing records, and oh to six or
o and seven, whatever it is against teams with winning records.
There get to the Western Conference Finals again. Matter of fact,
you know what I would even say, forget that we've
done that twice, and if I correct, in both Western
Conference finals we got drilled five four games to one.
Weren't they gentlemen sweeps in both of them? I think
(08:36):
both the Western Conference finals we got drilled four games
to one. So that's that does nothing. I mean, that
doesn't mean you were really that close to gett into
the finals. When you get beat that badly, get to
the finals and get back to me. That to me,
that was way worse, more embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Wait question number three, NFL no huddle.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The Rams smoked the Buccaneers thirty four to seven last night.
Common or the Rams the best team in football?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I think you might have to say so. I didn't
see that coming. I would have thought the Rams would win.
Did you take the Rams in spreads win?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I did not know.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Nobody did.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I don't think anyone did.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The Rams.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And I'll tell you what Maddy Stafford looks. And maybe
it's the system. I mean, I'm not going to say
it's all Maddy Stafford. He's you know, they Bay's system
apparently is very good.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I think they have they have they have.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Good skilled position players, they have they have a good
their defense is a really good.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's just such a well rounded team. But I was
watching some of that game yesterday. He can make all
the throws.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
He is when you're late thirties and you've played and
you've won a big game and you had all the
beatdowns in Detroit and learned your lessons there, and you're
there's nothing he's not seen before. He is playing at
a level that is I know every week. We do
the overreaction one day, who is the MVP of the league?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To me, he's hands down, right right now the MVP
of the league. He's so talented.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And that edition of DeVante Adams and the yeah, it
was pretty darn good too. You got him at a
pretty modest deal. And he is just like you get
inside the five yard line. He's just like having a big,
tough running back. You can get the goal line running back.
Say he can't be stopped to do the size.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
He's one of the best wide receivers of the of
the barge the past five ten years.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Would that be true?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He might be the most underrated.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, and yeah there that's and it's it's not a
team for me because I you know, I watched the
highs and lows of Matty Matty Ice in Detroit, more
lows than highs.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So I've always liked him.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I I wish the Rams all the success, except
if they play the Kiddies in the playoffs. If the
Kidies make they stole one yesterday that was pretty easy.
But yeah, he that's a that's a that's a really
good football team.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Shador Sanders led the Browns to a twenty four ten
win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Common can should do
or be a full time starter in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean the numbers again were very pedestrian, like a
lot of guys, you know, I mean, they were almost
JJ McCarthy life well a little better than that. But yeah,
he composed himself pretty well.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
First ever start.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I don't know, you know he was if you remember
he did, wasn't he didn't he fall all the way
to the fifth.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Fifth round when at one point he thought he could
be the number two overall picks.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yes, and so I'm sure he suffers from a little
bit of humbolitis there, But yeah, I thought he I
didn't watch it in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I just saw a highlight package here on an ESPN.
The long throw he made that was that was a
great throw. And again, all.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
These guys can make even JJ made it one great
throw yesterday to Jefferson, just a terrific throw.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So all these guys can make it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But yeah, I mean, he's one to know as a starter, right,
So good for him, But I don't know long term.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The Lions escape, you just mentioned it. They escaped with
the thirty four to twenty seven overtime win over the Giants.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Your thoughts they.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Were, you know, you like to say sometimes the wild
will outplay the other team is going to lose.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The Giants outplayed Detroit.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
The Lion. The Lions got bamboozled by a couple of
trick plays. I didn't. I just saw the.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Second round because I was out golf and I pulled
myself from I pulled myself on the golf round and
went and watched the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Duce and I were watching both vikings Packers and Kitties. Giants.
They had no business winning that game.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Talked to a Packer fan today at the golf course
and what he was bitter about. Where the Giants decided
not to go to a field but kick a field
you would go up six. Late in the game, they
decided to go for on fourth and goal from like
the six or seven whatever it was for.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
They didn't get it. That allowed them then the Lions
only needed three. They got the ball back.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They got it, and then there the Baits character kicked
like a fifty nine yard that.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Never looked like it was going in office foot.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It like it hooked back in and was like it
was like he hit like a draw hook that just
got over the crossbar, just inside the upright and then
the Giants win the toss and say we want to
be on defense.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
First first play from Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You can have your Saquon Barkley's, you could have your
your McCaffrey's, and you know, I know that Jonathan Taylor,
Johnson Taylor's and your Taylor Johnny Taylor whatever. Look, I
know that again it pays. It was like a sore
thumb against It was the Vikings where he couldn't pick
up a block.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It was bad. I mean, he he was he They
had to actually take him out of the game. It
was that Viking game. Yeah, they had to take him out.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Of the game a couple times because he couldn't pick up.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A blitzea linebacker.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He had two hundred and sixty four yards from scrimmage, yestir,
it's an all time lines record. He had. That's more
than Barry Sanders ever did from scrimmage. That's more than
Billy Simms ever did from scrimmage or.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Anybody else that ever played for that club.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
He was spectacular yesterday and like I say, when he
went house on the first place from scrimmage and overtime
and lines hung on and so now.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You have the Bears. Are they eight three?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, Packers are seven three and one, and the Kitties
are seven and four. So it's a three way race
right now. Is the Vikings have fallen woefully behind, but yeah,
the lines.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Probably didn't deserve to win, but they did.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So there you go for today's edition of five questions,
Well actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.
We'll dive into more of the controversial news from the
head coach as soon as be Big Game World champion
Minnesota Vikings Kevin O'Connell at his day after the game
news conference, announced that JJ McCarthy's in the concussion protocol
(14:48):
and whether he plays Sunday or not remains to be seen.
We'll talk about that on the side of the bright
Common Man program.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
On a fan.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Hungry for football, head to Boardwalk Kitchen and Bar and
Shacapy for the Big Game pig Roast twenty five dollars

Sharp full info at Champion dot com. Keyword calendar, what's
(15:23):
the name of the place again? Boardwalk Kitchen and Bar,
and shockapy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, Carson and Anderson, No Carchon Anderson Dan. There's a
dead list come here for those of you that are
not aware there is a And I'm already given him
(15:52):
way more publicity than I probably should.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
But this is what they wanted. They're using me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Remember I said, I quoted one of Warren's favorite artists,
Rod Stewart from Maggie May, where I said, I feel
I'm being used. I know, I know I keep you amused,
but I feel I'm being used. There's a website called
the sixty four dot Com. They put together sixty four
(16:21):
item brackets for all sorts of things they do, sandwiches
in this and that. They decided we can get some
real pr those egotistical talk show hosts that also have podcasts.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Let's put them in a bracket. Bye gosh, they'll talk
it up. And they were right. I'm gonna quote another musician.
Are you familiar with the song Tend to Be Night
Moves by Bob Seger? She was using.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Give me the music, not the Bob Seger music, thank you,
because I want to make sure I get this lyric
exactly right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Night Moves.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I told them you can't call me while I'm on
the air. I gave them that specific instructions, and we
(17:34):
steal away every chance we could, to the back room,
to the alley or the Trusty Woods. I used her,
she used me, but neither one cared. We were getting
our share.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Tennaby the sixty four dot com is using me, I'm
using them. Neither of us care. We're both just getting
our share.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We defeated cart and Anderson in the first round of
the sixty four or uh podcast bracket, and.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Did you tell me? The Morning Show also advanced.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
The Power Trip advance as well. We're halfway there.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
We're halfway there.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So if if by by hook or by crook, or
by stuffed ballot box or by uh point shaving like
I'll of the basketball with some of the Casino sports books,
if we were to win the and the Power Trip
(18:37):
to win, we would meet in the sweet sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
If we both win the our next matchup, we're taking
on each other.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I relish it.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So we are taking on the Pivot Podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Which one's the Pivot pop. What is it saying? Let
me guess they are unfiltered?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Should I read it?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, yeah, my guess is the Pivot podcast is unfiltered.
Speaker 1 (18:59):

Ryan Clark delivers candid sports talk, personal stories, and in
depth analysis. The host cover the latest NFL news, games
and trends with humor, insight, and unfiltered opinions, offering listeners
a unique insight look at the game and its players.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Fred Taylor used to be a running back for the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, that's right. He was pretty good too, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Ryan Clark was? Was he a corner? A safety for
the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (19:34):

Speaker 3 (19:36):

Speaker 3 (22:47):
What day is that again? It would be a.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Friday seven A bad break for me, Huntington Macro Tunda.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, it's a bad break for me. I'd sure like
to be there.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I encourage listeners to go, but I've look it's it's
it's Black Friday. That's it's a tradition of my household
to sort our socks, to watch the paint dry, and
to plunge our boy our heads into boily hot bats
of asphalts. So sorry, I can't make it, but we
encourage the listeners to go there.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
To all of them.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
My guess is it's only two hours instead of their
normal three and a half. So there's so much laughing
in the Rotunda. I mean, all of a sudden, you
need medics there in case there's some rib injuries or
Nie laughing injuries.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Remember when we used to do toys for tots there,
they put us in the main row Ton of the
first year, and then they put us in that one
over by like Walgreens, And then all of a sudden
they had a stuffed in the corner of some store.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, yeah, they and then we laughed.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And we've been all as all sorts of different places
and toys for Tots where we found a new home
at Shields.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
We love it there too.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Shields and Eden Prairie will be there on December second.
That's been brought to my attention by a couple of
thirteen fourteen. By the way, I right now cannot get
the Brad Shawn Bryant Cafe in text up and running.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I was notified by corporate.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I have to have like two now different authenticators, and
I don't know how to do it because I can't
get myself. I don't have my email on my phone.
I don't have it here in the studio, and Abbott says, well,
you're out of luck, but.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I got it work.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So I'm just going to call the uh the email
booth Atcavan dot com. They bradge on Briant email booth,
so you can you can email me there and a
number of people have to tell me that. On the
website for the sixty four dot com where they're they're
they're having a sixty four podcast tournament, it says the
(24:39):
Pivot podcast versus the common Man, and it's got a
picture of the common Man from from Columbus, Ohio. I
remember the guy that stole my bit, Yeah, who no
longer has a job. By the way, at least last
I heard Lessie landed somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I've told you that tale before.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Scott Torgason Tourgie. He was when I first started working
here and became the common man. Torgie was. He was
like like you know, like Max or like Blake Moore,
you know fill in guy, right, yeah, And he and
(25:22):
I became fast friends. He was he was goofy, kind
of weird. I don't know how hard of a worker.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
He was a lot like me. Right, We we got
we we got along together really well. I kind of
took him under my wing. He went a separate ways.
He left here. He ended up in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The producer for this guy and basically told him, you
should be the common man. It works in Minneapolis. And
so the guy took my persona and was working in
Columbus for a number of years. And then I saw
somewhere that they eliminated his show. And I don't know
if he's landed on his feet anywhere, but yeah, they
got the picture of the wrong guy. No, that's okay. Close,
(26:04):
serge to the sixty four dot com. You have the
picture of the wrong guy. Wrong picture, wrong guy, You
have the comment, they have the description right of common
man in Minneapolis. All they did ten to me was
they just they just looked at the latest Nielsen Slash
arbitrons and saw that we were through high radio. Yeah
you know, you know, we were highly rated. So they
(26:25):
put us on and we're happy with it. We shouldn't
be in the sixty four stuffed the ballot box. Please
early and often. Here's a text message or an email
that came in to comment Friday morning, subject line thank you.
Here's what it says. I comment just wanted to thank
(26:46):
you for all the entertaining you do on my radio.
My friends and I listen and text about it daily,
and it has allowed us to say in better touch
with one another, keep up the work.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I've I've created deeper bonding community community, deeper bonds
between friends what you and I do here on this
radio station along with Mark Roseen and lil Bee and
others during program password. So we're excited and delighted that
we're able to keep friendships fast and warm.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And for me, I've created a lot of deeper bonds
with coworkers as we rip you together.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
So it's kind of nice.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I've heard about that, and at first I heard you
were sticking up for me, and then you saw how
much fun everybody had ripping me, so you just piled on.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I always love that.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I really appreciate that. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
It was announced during the KOC news conference his day
after the game news conference that JJ McCarthy on the
plane ride back was feeling a little woozy and he's
in the protocol right now. The coach did not He
said he wasn't ready to make an announcement that Max
(27:53):
Brozemer will start.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It's too early in.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
The week to tell if these I guess concussion symptoms,
and you know, they they asked that. The media said,
was it was there a specific hit or something, and
he said, ah, no, not that we really saw, not
that JJ saw. So maybe it was a culmination of
things or he got hit. He didn't say anything, and
he felt worse. I you know, and I don't want
(28:18):
to be the guy that says they're making it up
as they go along, and just there's a lot of
people that believe it. I see it on the Bradshawn
Brian email in box, and a lot of people are
believing that. I guess I think, I guess that's possible.
You know that that high ankle sprain. There were many
that thought it was a soft benching. I do believe
he had he had a bad ankle, but I also
(28:40):
think he had a lot of bad performances. And I
think the team at the time was still thinking, you know,
obviously it was so early in the season, and they felt, well,
you know, we're one and one. We got to keep
playing here, and so they I think they felt once
gave them a better opportunity. I think they overestimated how
ready JJ McCarthy would be to start the season and
be ready to you know, you know, just hit the
(29:02):
ground running as we like to say, or hit that
grid iron passing, however you want to say it.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
And I think that I.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Absolutely believe he had a high ankle spray, but I
think they melted a little longer till eventually Wentz just
couldn't go anymore. He was the walking wounded. He was
beaten and battered. I mean he had the shattered or
broken shoulder socket. He had a separated show, He had
all sorts of issues. And finally, I mean you saw
how much pain he was in in that final game
(29:32):
he played. Who was that against? It was that the
Chargers game he was at the last game, Yes, and
he was an immense amount of pain every time he
got hit. And then when they when they asked the
coach the next day if he noticed that I.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Didn't really see anything like that. Well he was win.
He was when seen in pain.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
But anyway, the cement hasn't dried yet, or maybe the
cement has you know, you know what they used to
do in the gangster days tend to be they would like.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
They would take like a big.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Galvanized metal bucket, put cement in it, put a guy
in it, wait for it to heart and then they
would drop him into the Hudson Bay in New York.
Maybe the cementus hardened and he's just plummeted to the
very bottom because it has not been good. And I
take no joy in it in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Is it like the concrete a target field that took
like two years to settle.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think that's exactly what it is. It's it's the same,
and so I take no joy in this, or you know,
I don't. I feel bad for the kid.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
He wouldn't be the first quarterback selected in the National
Football League Draft that did not live up to expectations.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And I know it's true.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I understand when people say it's only been six games,
and you're right, it has only been.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Six games, and we have seen.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Been longer, and we've seen other quarterbacks struggle early in
their career and then become either at least functioning NFL quarterbacks,
and in some cases they blossom and become really good players.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
So I understand there's a part of the.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Fan base and I think that's it's getting less and
less with each poor performance, especially after losing to Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
It was bad yesterday it was maybe his worse before.
It's gotten worse each week.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I think there may be a lot of people are
abandoning that ship if you got to keep playing him
to see what we've got. But I still understand it
because six games isn't really a lot to go. I mean, Timmy,
if they would have judged me on six shows, I
wouldn't be here right now. I'd be in San Jose
parking cars and pumping gas. So, but there's more at
(31:40):
stake in the National Football League, especially money wise, than
there is here in radio. That there's a lot of
money involved in radio, trust me, but it's it's not
like the National Football League. So he did not He
did say that if McCarthy can't go, it would be Brosemer.
It's not like they're going to go hire somebody off
the streets and throw them in. He has all the
(32:00):
trust in the world, he says in Brosmer.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
And I you know, I'm not. I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I think they probably do feel like I mean, that's
why they drafted him. I think they liked what they
saw when they scotted I mean undrafted free agent when
they saign him.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I think they liked what they.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Saw and that's why they they signed him as an
undrea right as an undrafted free agent. Hell of initiation
in Rosmer plays. I mean, it isn't Seattle considered one
of the best defensive units in football and you're.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Playing at Seattle. And then you have the added.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Twist in which my guess is Darnold has a bit
of a chick.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Sure, right, because you know he was.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
For the biggest part of the reason the concussion came up.
Not saying it's a South benching, but if it was
like the this is the last week we need him
playing because it's it's gonna have the comparisons, correct, I
let go this guy for this guy.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Well, you know, I guess I hadn't thought of that,
but I that makes a little bit of sense. And
they asked him about Darnald Chaos did and you could
just tell I again, I wasn't there. I can't see
facial expressions and I could be way off of this.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I think it pained McCarthy or O'Connell.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
To have to talk about Donald pain was tremendous.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, in glowing terms, because this has not gone well.
This obviously so far is completely backfired on this club,
and that's why I said there was a email that
came into me at eleven on Sunday at ten thirty
(33:39):
seven before the Vikings game. Says common the fatal Viking
flaw not being adequately discussed is the fact that the
Vikings defense and star players are built to win now,
but the development of McCarthy will take two three more
years before he can win in the playoffs. By then, Jefferson,
most of the star players be gone and McCarthy will
(34:01):
have a much weaker team supporting him. They should have
signed Donald or Jones and left McCarthy on the bench.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Two more years.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
He says, it hasn't been adequately discussed. We have discussed
it since since they let Darnald go. I was in
the camp that thought they should have resigned Sam Darnold.
I thought he played very well. I know that Lions
game was a disaster. He looked like McCarthy in that game.
(34:28):
He overthrew receivers, he threw a lot of bad passes.
Was it a bad case of the jitters? Could very
well be, because Detroit's defense was they were There was
not much left defensively on that club, whichs been well documented.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I talked about it all the time. Last year.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
The Lions lost eighteen defensive players to injuries. They were
playing guys that they had called in the middle of
the season. Guys sitting on the couch phone rings. They
think it's cannon camera. They think their buddies pulling a
prank on him.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, it's Dan ca Amble. I wondering if you could
play this.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Ain't Dan Campbell, Bill, I can tell your voice, no,
it really isn't Dan Campbell. Then they look at caller
ID and say, you know Pontiac Michigan, and they go, Okay.
Guys that were out of the league are playing for Detroit,
so the defense. I still don't know how Detroit went
fifteen to two with all those injuries. I guess their
offense was so good. They were outscoring teams thirty five
thirty one every single week, and.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
That performance by Donald was bad.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
But if you'll remember, we've talked about this so many
times Tennaby. Immediately following the game, after the twenty minute
cool off, the coach said, we need to rebuild the
interior offensive line because Detroit steam rolled them and McCart
dan and Donald never had a chance in that game,
not to talk about the Rams game, though he never
(35:47):
had a chance in the Rams game, the first playoff game,
the Vikings had a chance to clinch the first spot
if they beat Detroit.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
They didn't. They dropped the five.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Donald wasn't brilliant in the Rams game either, and I'm
sure what sack or two was on him, but that
was mostly the off. That's why they said we have
to change offensive lines. And then the Vikings decided we're
going with McCarthy. And that's fine if you decide to
do that. But as the the emailer said, and it
is true, they spent a lot of money. They've spent
(36:17):
more money than anybody. They have three hundred million dollars
committed to players, and they've signed veterans of the millaiers. Yeah,
old of us in the middle of the offensive defensive line.
And you know, I during this last few weeks when
we talked about if you keep darnled you don't have
the money to sign those free agents, you tell me
how well those free agents have played. Tell me yesterday
(36:38):
we had our starting offensive line for the first time
that we wanted, which means we had our two free agents.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
We had the center Ryan Kelly who was in with it.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He was in the Guardian had he's had a lot
of concussions, but he wanted to play.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I read the story over the weekend where in talking
with a neurologists or whoever doctors he talked to said
they can sort of eased his concerns about you know,
long term and this and that and the other thing
that you know, because I think you can suffer a
handful of concussions and you're not going to all of
a sudden, you know, at age fifty where you've got cet.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It doesn't guarantee that you're going.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
To you know, you know, there are people that have
had concussions and they live happily ever after. But those
that offensive line. Now, I know Derisaw ended up getting
hurt and so did Jackson. But before Darrisaw got hurt,
the wh who's the kid that that Green Bay traded
(37:41):
for the defensive alignment?
Speaker 3 (37:44):
The Michael Parsona part, I mean, he is They flashed
up a stat yesterday today.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
He's only the second player in NFL history to record
ten sacks in his first five seasons, ten sacks in
each season's first five.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I mean, that's an astonishing number. I mean, I knew
he was good. I had no idea he was that good.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
When they were making this big deal about get him
in Greenby, I thought, yeah, okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That's no.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I would have liked them here.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I would.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't like
him well other than Dallas for whatever reason.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I mean he spun Darisa around a couple of times,
and they.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
I thought we could block him one on one.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, and that offensive line was was not that good.
So you know, maybe we would have been better off
not spending that money and spending it on Darnald because
before we got the new guys on the interior, the
offense in the interior, the defensive.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Line with Sam Darnold, what were they they were thirteen
and four. Now I know they had the I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
They had the two losses to Detroit, the two losses
to the Rams, and Donald wasn't very good particular the
Detroit came and I still, again, as I just said,
I don't think the Rams game was nearly as much
as his fault as it was the offensive line.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Donald was.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
He had a bad game the other day when he
threw four interceptions last week when they lost to the
lost to the Rams. There's no shame in that that
Rams club. We saw how good they are. I mean
they knocked Mayfield out of the game, and Mayfield was
doing nothing in that game. Donald bounced back yesterday and
had a from what I understand, and I don't think
(39:28):
it was a brilliant performance, but he was back to
he played well, and I'm sure he's got a chip
on his shoulder because I'm my guess is he'd love
to have come back here and played again, right, developed.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Friendships, had a lot of success here.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
He probably had a sour taste in his mouth and
wanted to redeem himself with this club again in this
upcoming year. You know, last year we got to the door.
This year we knocked on it. We're gonna kick it in.
So I'm sure he's gonna have some extra incentive it.
It could be an ugly game, and.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
You might be right. I hadn't thought of that, and
maybe I don't know. You hate to make.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
It accusations that the guy's really not hurt as bad
as he is, but it's.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
It's it's just happened multiple times.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Now, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Has indeed, So let's break, come back one more hour
to go. We'll we'll take I'll pick through some more
emails and we'll uh, we'll talk not only Bikings, but
there are other topics to get to as well, here
on the Common Man Program, along with Tennabee, right here

Speaker 3 (00:43):
You've taught me so many things.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
A couple of thirteen fourteen past I remember two begins
with five three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Four time now four.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Five questions?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well, actually three, but five sounds like more than four.
Question number one.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Time now for an in depth look at the state
of the state of hockey.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yea of hockey. Well here, well, here is what I'll
tell you. It should be stayed of hockey.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But I remember I said go eight one and one,
nine one and one. In the month of November and
get back to me. That's what I said, and lo
and behold that's what they've done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I think I also was the first one in town
that said vall said needs to be playing.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yep, you did, you were the but yeah, you just
mentioned it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
The Wild there league best nine one one in the
month of November, after shutting out the Penguins five nothing
Friday night, and then they shout out to Jets three
nothing yesterday in Winnipeg. Yes, for Ball said made thirty
two says for his NHL leading third shot out in
his past four starts. They have scored first in a
franchise record twelve consecutive games, which is tied for the
tenth large longest run in NHL history, and the Wild
(02:09):
haven't even trailed for the last eight games, a stretch
of four hundred and eighty minutes.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Common Are the Wild a wagon?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, they're they're a wagon?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
A wagon?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
It's just kind of a kid's term, is it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know that I'm learning the kids terms all
the time. They're a wagon. Deuce.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Looked up some numbers and I don't remember what they were.
But the longest scoreless streak for a goaltender. Some guy
in like nineteen twenty two had like three hundred and
eighty three minutes. They had minutes they didn't ever buy games.
So how many minutes that back to back shutouts?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three hundred eighty minutes? Something like, oh, that's like over
that's six seven games.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, right, six seven games?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Six seven?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But how many minutes in a row? Now for for
a wall soon it's two games?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Know, gust isn't at the shutout Friday night, Vall said
it had two shutouts and then I think he gave
up two or three goals against Carolina and then got
another shutout.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Okay, okay, well so now he has sixty team right,
but he has sixty minutes and then whatever minutes of
the last goal scored in the game he.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Gave up two? What if he does put together a streek?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
What if?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He asked, because if he's had a couple of shutouts,
there's no reason he can't continue on this instead of
new National Hockey League record, it's exciting, it's it did
look I was, you know, I always do that. Get
to the Western Conference finals and get back to me
us with the with the wild it was basically get
to double digit wins and get back to me. They
(03:45):
were so bad, but now you said it, they've got
They have the best record in the month of November,
and much of it, I think, Cassi, you would know
better than I do.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Much of it has to do just with a goaltending obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
In front of them, defense in front of them, and
then just scoring timely goals offense playing well the team
is playing, at least for the month of November, championship
caliber hockey.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Here's what I'll say, because I'm going to relate this
back to the Vikings. Right like yesterday when JJ McCarthy
was taking a lot of criticism, you get people that
jump out and go, well, he's not getting protection, he's
not going to play calling blah blah blah, and they
want to try to deflect blame from JJ McCarthy. I
do believe, whether it's right or not, that it's human
nature that if you don't have confidence in somebody that's
(04:33):
on the team with you, it has an impact and
effect on the way you play. Right Like, I've played
many a hockey game as a defenceman, whereas if I
don't have confidence in the goalie behind me, it changes
the way I play, or if I don't have confidence
in the team i'm playing with. Right, if I don't
have confidence my forwards are going to score, I might
start trying to take more chances and play more aggressively. Right,
(04:53):
if I don't have confidence in my goaltender making the save,
I feel like I have to go after the puck
carrier all the time, as opposed to, oh, I can
him shoot that because my goal he's gonna stop it.
And I think that's happening a little bit with the Right.
Like all the drops you've had from Bikings wide receiver,
I just I think some of them might just be
a little bit lacking focus, checked out. And I think
now the opposite has happened with the Wild where it
(05:14):
started with Volstead, I think he just kind of infused
just boost of confidence into the team of Hey, you
guys are struggling, I'm going to have your back, and
now everyone else is playing a little bit more freer
and obviously more successful in that regard.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It has an influence on the entire team.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Brilliant.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I also think you could take this another step. You
seem like you've been checked out of the show for
like two years, and I think is you don't have
a lot of confidence in the host to carry a
program for three hours. You just have no Okay, just
why do I even bother? There's there's nothing I can
do to help.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Just wait till you see the producers of the ten Fitzgerald.
It's even worse.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Than They've already got life jackets on, and yeah they're
gun ready to go. I understand. Yeah, I think you're
onto something. Tennem he could very well be. But all
I know is are playing awfully well right now.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Question number two, Well, let's get to the negative stories then,
huh uh common What was the bigger Minnesota meltdown this weekend?
A the Wolves blowing an eight point lead with fifty
seconds to play in Phoenix, or b the Gophers blowing
a twenty eight thirteen third quarter lead to Northwestern at
Wrigley Field. So the Gopher football team had a fifteen
(06:28):
point lead at north at Wrigley Field. Against Northwestern, their
defense was awful. Timberwolves could hit free throws. Their defense
was awful.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I think the Wolves, I mean when you have I
mean again, the Golphers are the Golphers right there? We
know they're they've had three now again to ranked team
now Iowa. I don't think was ranked when they got
beat whatever it was forty one to three, whatever that
final was, I don't recall, but you know, well Hopstate
was number one, Morgan was number eight. We know we're
not in their class. And I'm not making an excuse
for the golfers. It shouldn't be after nine years with
(07:00):
Fleck and don't give me all the nil and all that.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
You still should.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You shouldn't get embarrassed like and then he was really
defensive again here he was going last last game last week.
Does he keeps doing it? Is anybody else tired of
the Champion Chips season?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
For each week?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That never did much for me to begin with. I
get it taken one game at a time, but you
know he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He did it again.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
He goes that game last week didn't matter anyway to
this week. In other words, he's trying to separate himself
from the beatdowns. He wants to talk and he was
making this almost seem like it was a moral victory to.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Only lose to Northwestern.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
By three, and you know they missed a forty yard
field goal that would have tied it. Your kids should hang.
I love him, but the kid, I don't know who
he is. He should have been able to get a four.
You got to make a thing, you know, it's like,
but when you're a professional basketball team. And what I heard,
I saw a quote from one of the Phoenix players
that said the Wolves, especially Lomrndel, were talking trash for
fifty seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Aunt misses a couple of free throws, they turn the
ball over, and a couple of inbounds passes, and again
the Wolves have Now there.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Are they ten and zero.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Against teams with losing records, and oh to six or
o and seven, whatever it is against teams with winning records.
There get to the Western Conference Finals again. Matter of fact,
you know what I would even say, forget that we've
done that twice, and if I correct, in both Western
Conference finals we got drilled five four games to one.
Weren't they gentlemen sweeps in both of them? I think
(08:36):
both the Western Conference finals we got drilled four games
to one. So that's that does nothing. I mean, that
doesn't mean you were really that close to gett into
the finals. When you get beat that badly, get to
the finals and get back to me. That to me,
that was way worse, more embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Wait question number three, NFL no huddle.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The Rams smoked the Buccaneers thirty four to seven last night.
Common or the Rams the best team in football?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I think you might have to say so. I didn't
see that coming. I would have thought the Rams would win.
Did you take the Rams in spreads win?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I did not know.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Nobody did.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I don't think anyone did.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The Rams.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And I'll tell you what Maddy Stafford looks. And maybe
it's the system. I mean, I'm not going to say
it's all Maddy Stafford. He's you know, they Bay's system
apparently is very good.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I think they have they have they have.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Good skilled position players, they have they have a good
their defense is a really good.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's just such a well rounded team. But I was
watching some of that game yesterday. He can make all
the throws.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
He is when you're late thirties and you've played and
you've won a big game and you had all the
beatdowns in Detroit and learned your lessons there, and you're
there's nothing he's not seen before. He is playing at
a level that is I know every week. We do
the overreaction one day, who is the MVP of the league?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To me, he's hands down, right right now the MVP
of the league. He's so talented.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And that edition of DeVante Adams and the yeah, it
was pretty darn good too. You got him at a
pretty modest deal. And he is just like you get
inside the five yard line. He's just like having a big,
tough running back. You can get the goal line running back.
Say he can't be stopped to do the size.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
He's one of the best wide receivers of the of
the barge the past five ten years.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Would that be true?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He might be the most underrated.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, and yeah there that's and it's it's not a
team for me because I you know, I watched the
highs and lows of Matty Matty Ice in Detroit, more
lows than highs.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So I've always liked him.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I I wish the Rams all the success, except
if they play the Kiddies in the playoffs. If the
Kidies make they stole one yesterday that was pretty easy.
But yeah, he that's a that's a that's a really
good football team.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Shador Sanders led the Browns to a twenty four ten
win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Common can should do
or be a full time starter in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean the numbers again were very pedestrian, like a
lot of guys, you know, I mean, they were almost
JJ McCarthy life well a little better than that. But yeah,
he composed himself pretty well.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
First ever start.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I don't know, you know he was if you remember
he did, wasn't he didn't he fall all the way
to the fifth.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Fifth round when at one point he thought he could
be the number two overall picks.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yes, and so I'm sure he suffers from a little
bit of humbolitis there, But yeah, I thought he I
didn't watch it in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I just saw a highlight package here on an ESPN.
The long throw he made that was that was a
great throw. And again, all.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
These guys can make even JJ made it one great
throw yesterday to Jefferson, just a terrific throw.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So all these guys can make it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But yeah, I mean, he's one to know as a starter, right,
So good for him, But I don't know long term.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The Lions escape, you just mentioned it. They escaped with
the thirty four to twenty seven overtime win over the Giants.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Your thoughts they.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Were, you know, you like to say sometimes the wild
will outplay the other team is going to lose.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The Giants outplayed Detroit.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
The Lion. The Lions got bamboozled by a couple of
trick plays. I didn't. I just saw the.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Second round because I was out golf and I pulled
myself from I pulled myself on the golf round and
went and watched the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Duce and I were watching both vikings Packers and Kitties. Giants.
They had no business winning that game.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Talked to a Packer fan today at the golf course
and what he was bitter about. Where the Giants decided
not to go to a field but kick a field
you would go up six. Late in the game, they
decided to go for on fourth and goal from like
the six or seven whatever it was for.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
They didn't get it. That allowed them then the Lions
only needed three. They got the ball back.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They got it, and then there the Baits character kicked
like a fifty nine yard that.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Never looked like it was going in office foot.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It like it hooked back in and was like it
was like he hit like a draw hook that just
got over the crossbar, just inside the upright and then
the Giants win the toss and say we want to
be on defense.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
First first play from Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You can have your Saquon Barkley's, you could have your
your McCaffrey's, and you know, I know that Jonathan Taylor,
Johnson Taylor's and your Taylor Johnny Taylor whatever. Look, I
know that again it pays. It was like a sore
thumb against It was the Vikings where he couldn't pick
up a block.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It was bad. I mean, he he was he They
had to actually take him out of the game. It
was that Viking game. Yeah, they had to take him out.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Of the game a couple times because he couldn't pick up.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A blitzea linebacker.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He had two hundred and sixty four yards from scrimmage, yestir,
it's an all time lines record. He had. That's more
than Barry Sanders ever did from scrimmage. That's more than
Billy Simms ever did from scrimmage or.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Anybody else that ever played for that club.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
He was spectacular yesterday and like I say, when he
went house on the first place from scrimmage and overtime
and lines hung on and so now.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You have the Bears. Are they eight three?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, Packers are seven three and one, and the Kitties
are seven and four. So it's a three way race
right now. Is the Vikings have fallen woefully behind, but yeah,
the lines.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Probably didn't deserve to win, but they did.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So there you go for today's edition of five questions,
Well actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.
We'll dive into more of the controversial news from the
head coach as soon as be Big Game World champion
Minnesota Vikings Kevin O'Connell at his day after the game
news conference, announced that JJ McCarthy's in the concussion protocol
(14:48):
and whether he plays Sunday or not remains to be seen.
We'll talk about that on the side of the bright
Common Man program.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
On a fan.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Hungry for football, head to Boardwalk Kitchen and Bar and

and shockapy.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, Carson and Anderson, No Carchon Anderson Dan. There's a
dead list come here for those of you that are
not aware there is a And I'm already given him
(15:52):
way more publicity than I probably should.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
But this is what they wanted. They're using me.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Remember I said, I quoted one of Warren's favorite artists,
Rod Stewart from Maggie May, where I said, I feel
I'm being used. I know, I know I keep you amused,
but I feel I'm being used. There's a website called
the sixty four dot Com. They put together sixty four
(16:21):
item brackets for all sorts of things they do, sandwiches
in this and that. They decided we can get some
real pr those egotistical talk show hosts that also have podcasts.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Let's put them in a bracket. Bye gosh, they'll talk
it up. And they were right. I'm gonna quote another musician.
Are you familiar with the song Tend to Be Night
Moves by Bob Seger? She was using.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Give me the music, not the Bob Seger music, thank you,
because I want to make sure I get this lyric
exactly right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Night Moves.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I told them you can't call me while I'm on
the air. I gave them that specific instructions, and we
(17:34):
steal away every chance we could, to the back room,
to the alley or the Trusty Woods. I used her,
she used me, but neither one cared. We were getting
our share.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Tennaby the sixty four dot com is using me, I'm
using them. Neither of us care. We're both just getting
our share.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We defeated cart and Anderson in the first round of
the sixty four or uh podcast bracket, and.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Did you tell me? The Morning Show also advanced.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
The Power Trip advance as well. We're halfway there.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
We're halfway there.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So if if by by hook or by crook, or
by stuffed ballot box or by uh point shaving like
I'll of the basketball with some of the Casino sports books,
if we were to win the and the Power Trip
(18:37):
to win, we would meet in the sweet sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
If we both win the our next matchup, we're taking
on each other.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I relish it.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So we are taking on the Pivot Podcast.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Which one's the Pivot pop. What is it saying? Let
me guess they are unfiltered?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Should I read it?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, yeah, my guess is the Pivot podcast is unfiltered.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The Pivot Pot Podcast with Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, and
Ryan Clark delivers candid sports talk, personal stories, and in
depth analysis. The host cover the latest NFL news, games
and trends with humor, insight, and unfiltered opinions, offering listeners
a unique insight look at the game and its players.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Sounds boring, just sounds like an awful podcast. Fred Taytor
is a forward player? Right?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
They all are?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Fred Taylor used to be a running back for the Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, that's right. He was pretty good too, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Ryan Clark was? Was he a corner? A safety for
the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
And Channing Crowder, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I don't you know who Carol Channing is? Do you
know Shanning Tatum?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I do not know Shannon Tatum, but I do know.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I mean that's I don't need a birthday party or

a birthday party. We get no recognition at all. No,
and we're on a level playing field with them. Well
we were two weeks ago. I don't know about lately,
but we were. Matter of fact, we were. We were
at a higher level than they.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well at the sixty four dot com we're on the
same level.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
A PA advance too, by the way.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Well he who did he square off again?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
He had a take down, calling Coward.

Don't the listeners feel sorry for you?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And I we always being second fiddle, third fiddle, fourth fiddle,
fourth in the north, the clown from Brown. I mean,
don't they ever feel sorry for us?

to plunge our boy our heads into boily hot bats
of asphalts. So sorry, I can't make it, but we
encourage the listeners to go there.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
To all of them.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
My guess is it's only two hours instead of their
normal three and a half. So there's so much laughing
in the Rotunda. I mean, all of a sudden, you
need medics there in case there's some rib injuries or
Nie laughing injuries.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Remember when we used to do toys for tots there,
they put us in the main row Ton of the
first year, and then they put us in that one
over by like Walgreens, And then all of a sudden
they had a stuffed in the corner of some store.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, yeah, they and then we laughed.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And we've been all as all sorts of different places
and toys for Tots where we found a new home
at Shields.

(24:39):
Pivot podcast versus the common Man, and it's got a
picture of the common Man from from Columbus, Ohio. I
remember the guy that stole my bit, Yeah, who no
longer has a job. By the way, at least last
I heard Lessie landed somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I've told you that tale before.

Scott Torgason Tourgie. He was when I first started working
here and became the common man. Torgie was. He was
like like you know, like Max or like Blake Moore,
you know fill in guy, right, yeah, And he and
(25:22):
I became fast friends. He was he was goofy, kind
of weird. I don't know how hard of a worker.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
He was a lot like me. Right, We we got
we we got along together really well. I kind of
took him under my wing. He went a separate ways.
He left here. He ended up in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The producer for this guy and basically told him, you
should be the common man. It works in Minneapolis. And
so the guy took my persona and was working in
Columbus for a number of years. And then I saw
somewhere that they eliminated his show. And I don't know
if he's landed on his feet anywhere, but yeah, they
got the picture of the wrong guy. No, that's okay. Close,
(26:04):
serge to the sixty four dot com. You have the
picture of the wrong guy. Wrong picture, wrong guy, You
have the comment, they have the description right of common
man in Minneapolis. All they did ten to me was
they just they just looked at the latest Nielsen Slash
arbitrons and saw that we were through high radio. Yeah
you know, you know, we were highly rated. So they
(26:25):
put us on and we're happy with it. We shouldn't
be in the sixty four stuffed the ballot box. Please

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I've heard about that, and at first I heard you
were sticking up for me, and then you saw how
much fun everybody had ripping me, so you just piled on.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I always love that.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I really appreciate that. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
It was announced during the KOC news conference his day
after the game news conference that JJ McCarthy on the
plane ride back was feeling a little woozy and he's
in the protocol right now. The coach did not He
said he wasn't ready to make an announcement that Max
(27:53):
Brozemer will start.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
It's too early in.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
The week to tell if these I guess concussion symptoms,
and you know, they they asked that. The media said,
was it was there a specific hit or something, and
he said, ah, no, not that we really saw, not
that JJ saw. So maybe it was a culmination of
things or he got hit. He didn't say anything, and
he felt worse. I you know, and I don't want
(28:18):
to be the guy that says they're making it up
as they go along, and just there's a lot of
people that believe it. I see it on the Bradshawn
Brian email in box, and a lot of people are
believing that. I guess I think, I guess that's possible.
You know that that high ankle sprain. There were many
that thought it was a soft benching. I do believe
he had he had a bad ankle, but I also
(28:40):
think he had a lot of bad performances. And I
think the team at the time was still thinking, you know,
obviously it was so early in the season, and they felt, well,
you know, we're one and one. We got to keep
playing here, and so they I think they felt once
gave them a better opportunity. I think they overestimated how
ready JJ McCarthy would be to start the season and
be ready to you know, you know, just hit the
(29:02):
ground running as we like to say, or hit that
grid iron passing, however you want to say it.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
And I think that I.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Absolutely believe he had a high ankle spray, but I
think they melted a little longer till eventually Wentz just
couldn't go anymore. He was the walking wounded. He was
beaten and battered. I mean he had the shattered or
broken shoulder socket. He had a separated show, He had
all sorts of issues. And finally, I mean you saw
how much pain he was in in that final game
(29:32):
he played. Who was that against? It was that the
Chargers game he was at the last game, Yes, and
he was an immense amount of pain every time he
got hit. And then when they when they asked the
coach the next day if he noticed that I.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Didn't really see anything like that. Well he was win.
He was when seen in pain.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
But anyway, the cement hasn't dried yet, or maybe the
cement has you know, you know what they used to
do in the gangster days tend to be they would like.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
They would take like a big.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Galvanized metal bucket, put cement in it, put a guy
in it, wait for it to heart and then they
would drop him into the Hudson Bay in New York.
Maybe the cementus hardened and he's just plummeted to the
very bottom because it has not been good. And I
take no joy in it in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Is it like the concrete a target field that took
like two years to settle.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think that's exactly what it is. It's it's the same,
and so I take no joy in this, or you know,
I don't. I feel bad for the kid.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
He wouldn't be the first quarterback selected in the National
Football League Draft that did not live up to expectations.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And I know it's true.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I understand when people say it's only been six games,
and you're right, it has only been.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Six games, and we have seen.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Been longer, and we've seen other quarterbacks struggle early in
their career and then become either at least functioning NFL quarterbacks,
and in some cases they blossom and become really good players.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
So I understand there's a part of the.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Fan base and I think that's it's getting less and
less with each poor performance, especially after losing to Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
It was bad yesterday it was maybe his worse before.
It's gotten worse each week.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I think there may be a lot of people are
abandoning that ship if you got to keep playing him
to see what we've got. But I still understand it
because six games isn't really a lot to go. I mean, Timmy,
if they would have judged me on six shows, I
wouldn't be here right now. I'd be in San Jose
parking cars and pumping gas. So, but there's more at
(31:40):
stake in the National Football League, especially money wise, than
there is here in radio. That there's a lot of
money involved in radio, trust me, but it's it's not
like the National Football League. So he did not He
did say that if McCarthy can't go, it would be Brosemer.
It's not like they're going to go hire somebody off
the streets and throw them in. He has all the
(32:00):
trust in the world, he says in Brosmer.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
And I you know, I'm not. I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I think they probably do feel like I mean, that's
why they drafted him. I think they liked what they
saw when they scotted I mean undrafted free agent when
they saign him.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I think they liked what they.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Saw and that's why they they signed him as an
undrea right as an undrafted free agent. Hell of initiation
in Rosmer plays. I mean, it isn't Seattle considered one
of the best defensive units in football and you're.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Playing at Seattle. And then you have the added.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Twist in which my guess is Darnold has a bit
of a chick.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Sure, right, because you know he was.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
For the biggest part of the reason the concussion came up.
Not saying it's a South benching, but if it was
like the this is the last week we need him
playing because it's it's gonna have the comparisons, correct, I
let go this guy for this guy.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Well, you know, I guess I hadn't thought of that,
but I that makes a little bit of sense. And
they asked him about Darnald Chaos did and you could
just tell I again, I wasn't there. I can't see
facial expressions and I could be way off of this.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I think it pained McCarthy or O'Connell.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
To have to talk about Donald pain was tremendous.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, in glowing terms, because this has not gone well.
This obviously so far is completely backfired on this club,
and that's why I said there was a email that
came into me at eleven on Sunday at ten thirty
(33:39):
seven before the Vikings game. Says common the fatal Viking
flaw not being adequately discussed is the fact that the
Vikings defense and star players are built to win now,
but the development of McCarthy will take two three more
years before he can win in the playoffs. By then, Jefferson,
most of the star players be gone and McCarthy will
(34:01):
have a much weaker team supporting him. They should have
signed Donald or Jones and left McCarthy on the bench.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Two more years.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
He says, it hasn't been adequately discussed. We have discussed
it since since they let Darnald go. I was in
the camp that thought they should have resigned Sam Darnold.
I thought he played very well. I know that Lions
game was a disaster. He looked like McCarthy in that game.
(34:28):
He overthrew receivers, he threw a lot of bad passes.
Was it a bad case of the jitters? Could very
well be, because Detroit's defense was they were There was
not much left defensively on that club, whichs been well documented.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I talked about it all the time. Last year.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
The Lions lost eighteen defensive players to injuries. They were
playing guys that they had called in the middle of
the season. Guys sitting on the couch phone rings. They
think it's cannon camera. They think their buddies pulling a
prank on him.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Yeah, it's Dan ca Amble. I wondering if you could
play this.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Ain't Dan Campbell, Bill, I can tell your voice, no,
it really isn't Dan Campbell. Then they look at caller
ID and say, you know Pontiac Michigan, and they go, Okay.
Guys that were out of the league are playing for Detroit,
so the defense. I still don't know how Detroit went
fifteen to two with all those injuries. I guess their
offense was so good. They were outscoring teams thirty five
thirty one every single week, and.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
That performance by Donald was bad.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
But if you'll remember, we've talked about this so many
times Tennaby. Immediately following the game, after the twenty minute
cool off, the coach said, we need to rebuild the
interior offensive line because Detroit steam rolled them and McCart
dan and Donald never had a chance in that game,
not to talk about the Rams game, though he never
(35:47):
had a chance in the Rams game, the first playoff game,
the Vikings had a chance to clinch the first spot
if they beat Detroit.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
They didn't. They dropped the five.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Donald wasn't brilliant in the Rams game either, and I'm
sure what sack or two was on him, but that
was mostly the off. That's why they said we have
to change offensive lines. And then the Vikings decided we're
going with McCarthy. And that's fine if you decide to
do that. But as the the emailer said, and it
is true, they spent a lot of money. They've spent
(36:17):
more money than anybody. They have three hundred million dollars
committed to players, and they've signed veterans of the millaiers. Yeah,
old of us in the middle of the offensive defensive line.
And you know, I during this last few weeks when
we talked about if you keep darnled you don't have
the money to sign those free agents, you tell me
how well those free agents have played. Tell me yesterday
(36:38):
we had our starting offensive line for the first time
that we wanted, which means we had our two free agents.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
We had the center Ryan Kelly who was in with it.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He was in the Guardian had he's had a lot
of concussions, but he wanted to play.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I read the story over the weekend where in talking
with a neurologists or whoever doctors he talked to said
they can sort of eased his concerns about you know,
long term and this and that and the other thing
that you know, because I think you can suffer a
handful of concussions and you're not going to all of
a sudden, you know, at age fifty where you've got cet.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It doesn't guarantee that you're going.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
To you know, you know, there are people that have
had concussions and they live happily ever after. But those
that offensive line. Now, I know Derisaw ended up getting
hurt and so did Jackson. But before Darrisaw got hurt,
the wh who's the kid that that Green Bay traded
(37:41):
for the defensive alignment?
Speaker 3 (37:44):
The Michael Parsona part, I mean, he is They flashed
up a stat yesterday today.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
He's only the second player in NFL history to record
ten sacks in his first five seasons, ten sacks in
each season's first five.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I mean, that's an astonishing number. I mean, I knew
he was good. I had no idea he was that good.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
When they were making this big deal about get him
in Greenby, I thought, yeah, okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That's no.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I would have liked them here.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I would.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't like
him well other than Dallas for whatever reason.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I mean he spun Darisa around a couple of times,
and they.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
I thought we could block him one on one.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, and that offensive line was was not that good.
So you know, maybe we would have been better off
not spending that money and spending it on Darnald because
before we got the new guys on the interior, the
offense in the interior, the defensive.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Line with Sam Darnold, what were they they were thirteen
and four. Now I know they had the I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
They had the two losses to Detroit, the two losses
to the Rams, and Donald wasn't very good particular the
Detroit came and I still, again, as I just said,
I don't think the Rams game was nearly as much
as his fault as it was the offensive line.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Donald was.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
He had a bad game the other day when he
threw four interceptions last week when they lost to the
lost to the Rams. There's no shame in that that
Rams club. We saw how good they are. I mean
they knocked Mayfield out of the game, and Mayfield was
doing nothing in that game. Donald bounced back yesterday and
had a from what I understand, and I don't think
(39:28):
it was a brilliant performance, but he was back to
he played well, and I'm sure he's got a chip
on his shoulder because I'm my guess is he'd love
to have come back here and played again, right, developed.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Friendships, had a lot of success here.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
He probably had a sour taste in his mouth and
wanted to redeem himself with this club again in this
upcoming year. You know, last year we got to the door.
This year we knocked on it. We're gonna kick it in.
So I'm sure he's gonna have some extra incentive it.
It could be an ugly game, and.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
You might be right. I hadn't thought of that, and
maybe I don't know. You hate to make.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
It accusations that the guy's really not hurt as bad
as he is, but it's.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
It's it's just happened multiple times.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Now, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Has indeed, So let's break, come back one more hour
to go. We'll we'll take I'll pick through some more
emails and we'll uh, we'll talk not only Bikings, but
there are other topics to get to as well, here
on the Common Man Program, along with Tennabee, right here
on the face
