Speaker 1 (00:01):
Do you watch on to know what's happening with your
favorite kfan shows. You can make your voice heard on
the Brad Shawn Bryant kfaan text line. So don't you
have to say by texting your messages six four six
eighty six at six four six eight six standard text
message in dat right supply.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Any outdated promos or other information that you hear on
the fan is not the It's not the fault of
the common man. I it's a it's I have nothing
to do with it. I think we played Deluth this weekend,
not North Dakota. So we're we're They always hear a
day later or a week behind. I think we're a

(00:37):
week behind. Nevertheless, legendary Mark Rosen here along with Common
and Brett Blake Moore dateline New York head coach of
the Portland Trailblazers and a player for the Miami Heat,
were arrested toys Day along with more than thirty other
people in two cases alleging sprawling criminal schemes to break
in millions by rigging sports bets and poker games involving

(00:59):
mafia family. According to authorities, Portland coach Chauncey Billups was
charged with participating in a conspiracy to fix high stakes
card games in Las Vegas, Miami, Manhattan, and the Hamptons
that were backed by La Coosa. As I said, at Cosa,
LaCOSA and Nostra, you see the mob. The mob. Heat

(01:20):
guard Terry Rogier is accused in a separate scheme to
concoct fraudulent bets by exploiting insider information about NBA athletes.
The indictments, unsealed in New York, create a massive cloud
for the NBA, which opened it season this week, and
show how certain types of wagers are vulnerable to massive
fraud in the growing, multi billion dollar legal sports betting industry.

(01:44):
Joseph Notchella, the top federal prosecutor for the Eastern District
of New York, called it, quote, one of the most
brazen sports corruption schemes since online sports betting became widely
legalizing the United States. My mess to the defend dance,
You've been rounded up today?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Is this?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Who've been rounded up today? Is this? Your winning streak
has ended, your luck has run out, Mark Rows, and your.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Thoughts, well, it's I mean you start talking about gambling situation.
You were mentioning it earlier, but in the same sentence
the FBI director and others are using literally the word mob,
like this is out of you, like the Godfather, Goodfellas.
These are guys you don't mess around with, and they think, well,

(02:32):
these families still exist. I mean, I and it's kind
of I'm not being naive about it, but you don't
really hear that much about it anymore, that the racketeering
or whatever might be going on, that the mobs involved
with the numbers and transport, whatever it might be.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
He was like, a, well, here's what it says. Says
the poker scheme cheated at least seven million dollars out
of unsuspecting gamblers who were allured into rigged games with
a chance to compete against former professional basketball players like
Billups and Jones. The games were fixed using sophisticated sheeting technology,
cameras such as I'm getting to it, such as altered

(03:07):
card shuffling machines, hidden cameras, and poker chip trays, special sunglasses,
and even X ray equipment built into the table to
read the cards of unsuspecting players. According to authorities, this
scheme often made use of illegal poker games run by
New York crime families that required them to share a
portion of their proceeds with the gam Vino Gene Vc

(03:30):
and Bonano Bo Bonano. You know these crime families. Well,
according to court papers, members of those families, in turn,
also helped commit violent acts including assault, extortion, and robbery
to ensure repayment of debts in the continued success of
the operation official set in court documents, prosecutors asked the

(03:52):
judge to detain mafia members implicated in the case, as
well as the ring leaders of the poker scheme. Prosecutors
are arguing for releasing Billups and Jones, but with substantial
bail conditions, including a prohibition on any form of gambling
and travel restrictions.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, you know, watching Chauncey Billups roam the sidelines last
night against the Timberwolves and their season opener in Portland,
and you know he played here for a while, and
he's you know, he's he's a wealthy man. He's made
a lot of money both as a playing career and
a coach. And and you know we always went in
rose years also we got millions of dollars and you
always wonder what's the what's the tug? We're not talking

(04:29):
about Joe Baggin Donuts. That that's watching any NBA game
or NFL game tonight where literally the leagues have embraced
sports gambling where they have live odds during the course
of the game. You know, the Chargers are three and
a half right now, but the Vikings scored a couple
early touchdowns whatever, now Minnesota's minus and they literally put

(04:50):
it on the screen so people can gamble from their devices.
Those are not the people we're talking about now. They
the people that they got lured into some of these
poker games apparently, were the suckers that they had called
in and say, Hey, you get to sit down next
to Chauncey Billups and play poker, bring your cash, and

(05:11):
but the risks are so high and I don't know.
It's a head scratcher for lots of reasons. We don't
know how deep this is going and to what extent
story goes on to say.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
In the sports betting scheme, Rosier and other Defend Dance
are accused of accessing private information from NBA players or
coaches that could impact the player's performance. In giving that
information other so they could place wagers, players sometimes alter
their performance or took themselves out of games early to
rig prop bets, a type of wager that allows gamblers

(05:43):
to bet on whether a player will exceed a certain
statistical number, such as whether the player will finish over
or under certain total points, rebounds, or assists. According to
the indictment, in one instance, Rogier, while playing for the
Charlotte Hornets in twenty twenty three, told people he was
planning to leave the game early with the suppose injury,
allowing gamblers to place wagers, earning them tens of thousands

(06:04):
of dollars. According to authorities, The game against the New
York Pelicans raised eyebrows at the time. Rosier played the
first nine minutes and thirty six seconds of the game
before leaving citing the foot of shoe. He did not
play again that season. Posts still online from March twenty third,
twenty twenty three show that some betters were furious with
sportsbooks that evening when it became evident that Rosier was

(06:26):
not going to return of the game after the first quarter,
with many turning to social media to say that something
shady had happened regarding the prop bets involving his stats
for that night. The indictments contained the descriptions of several
unnamed NBA players whose injury status and availability for certain
games were the source of betting activity. Those players do

(06:46):
not accused him any wrongdoing, and there's no indication that
they would have even known what was being said about
their status for those games. Those players include Lebron James,
Anthony Davis, and Damian Lillard. Their identities are clear based
on a review of corresponding injury reports surrounding games mentioned
in the indictment. The indictment shows that certain defendants shared

(07:07):
information about the availability of those players in a game
on March twenty four to twenty twenty three involving the
Portland Trail Blazers in two games in twenty twenty three
twenty twenty four involving the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA
had investigator Rogier previously. He was in uniform as that
heat played the Magic on Wednesday in Orlando in the
season open for both teams, though he did not play

(07:29):
in the game. So that's pretty much where we are
right now. That's the latest on this, and that's going
to comment.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Just reading as you just did, all the charges and
et cetera, et cetera. This is going to paint a
broad brush in the minds of a lot of fans,
a lot of people who follow sports in particular, like, well,
it's almost like I told you so. I mean, it's
even legal now for college and I think Blake, you
can bet it's legal for college athletes have been on

(07:57):
professional sports, right, I mean, it's much I I think
I think he can. But anyway, the point is it's
gonna it's gonna lead to you know, when they have
uhen so and so is resting tonight, he's not playing
in the game. We've gone through this before over Oregon,
but it's definitely people are going to go, well, something
fishy going on here?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
What probably Well it is if he's rested before, you know,
before the game starts, that's one thing. If he's if
he's listed as out, he's out, all bets are noll
and void, I would assume. But when a player is
in the game and then he comes out halfway through
the first quarter claiming an injury, well those bets have
been made. I am my. I'm assuming from what I'm
reading there that if a guy comes out of the game,

(08:37):
will you lose your bets? But we can't. We can't
worry about injury.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
But if you're if you were in Vegas last night
and even up until I was watched following social media
a little bit on it, Anthony Edwards was listed as
questionable right before the game last night with backspasms. And
I'm saying to myself, there's no way in hell Anthony's
going to miss this game and it's gonna play. He's
going to play through whatever's bugging him. But he was
listed this question. Now does that does that information influence

(09:03):
the betters? You're going, man, he may not play tonight.
That's I'm not going to take the general I'm sure
that And.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
That was not like earlier in the day.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
That was literally, like Fitz said, I don't know if
he's going to play or not.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Here's what I'll tell you. I you know, you go
back to Black Sox scandal in nineteen nineteen, Pete Rose
betting scandal, and many many, many others that have happened
over the years. And the one thing with sports, I
said this earlier in the program, is that you always
want to feel that when you sit down and buy
a ticket to a game, or in your case, get
tickets to the game from your from Charlie in your
court side, or you're watching a game on television that

(09:37):
you are seen right regardless if it's if the team
you want to win or lose, whether you've bet money
or not, you're seen in a game that's on the
up and up that that there isn't there isn't a
player or a team or a coach or or somebody
that is is trying to influence the game for their

(09:57):
benefit and against because if you're watch the game, you
don't want to think, well, I love watching football or baseball,
bask whatever it is, but there are players that in
order to pad their pockets and make themselves money, they're
they're rigging the games. And that's that's the worst thing.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Well, that's the difference between those that era that you're
speaking of, or even through the you know, the Pete
Rose stuff and everything else, and today is that the
leagues have embraced sports gambling now uh tremendously. They're sponsored
fan duel whatever the case may be. Like I said,
they're not only embracing it, but they're encouraging it by

(10:33):
the way. They have special shows just for for for
for my bets of the week, yeah, and the and
so's it's creating this whole world that where especially as
sadly where a lot of younger people are losing a
lot of money because of that. Because it's just it's
hard to beat the system.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Let's take a short break, come back one more second
with Mark roseland he skid autls. He's got television duties.
So we'll take a short break, come back with more.
A keyword from Brett blakemore to try to put a
grant in your hand with the National Cash Contest.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yes, the cash thing, the fan and two minutes a
junk chuck. Want to give me a shot to win
bonus bucks with the National Cash Contest at a KAFA
dot com keyword is bank. Keyword bank KFA dot com
keyword bank. Baby's crying. That's normal if you're feeling overwhelmed,
It's okay to step away. Never shake a baby. Shaking

(11:26):
can kill one and four. Don't survive strivings, often face
permanent brain damage. Learn more and give today. Never shake
m men dot com boy.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
How about those numbers for women? Yama forty points, fifteen boards,
no turnovers, three blocks in thirty minutes. If it's an alien,
if if San Antonio called you Mark Rowse and the
owner of the rolls, and so they GM and said,
well we trade you wemen Yama four. Well, Dis Edwards,
would you make that Wemby's Wemby might be?

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Uh? Last week you said, you said not in a minute,
You're you're discarding what Aunt did last night forty one.
We didn't mention him. He just said get to it.
And well you didn't you pose the question to me
without even acknowledging the kind of night and how Aunt
saved the game for the Wolves with the clutch shooting

(12:17):
and what he did with his forty one points, and
would you trade Anthony Edwards? You can make an argument
for it. I understand that. Okay, of course the guy
is I watched the game last night. He is for
lack of a bird, he is word of he's an alien.
The thing that I worry about with Wemby and he's
already gone through it all right, a man and he's

(12:38):
just growing into his body is the injury situation. I mean,
being durable enough to survive, you know eighty two? Whatever
he say that about anybody, No, I know you can,
but especially I mean, you know, I look at Shall
shack was a shack was a brick wall. But Webby's

(13:00):
I mean, like Cheded Holmgren already went through it. I
think there's they're more prone to have those kind of
stress fracture type things. And I wish him nothing but
the best. He's great for the league, he's charismatic, he's
turning the world on a dime. I mean, he just
destroyed the He might be, he might be, but I
mean I think the Wolves are very happy with their guy,

(13:20):
and he proved it again last night and they had,
you know, some achilles. They were swimming upstream all night long,
and you know it's only game one and he's got
to figure some things out. Dantee Devincenzo can't play the point.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Chauncey was coaching that game. I think there's any funny business.
I don't think so. No, I don't unless he wager
around the Wolves. No, I don't think so. And that
was not part of the claim right now, So what
was I was just making it know? What was What
was your.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Impressions on No Dillingham and this start going with Evincenzo,
Well he didn't and Devincenzo didn't play particularly well at
the point he had no, he did not.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
He was not comfortable at all. It's something that and
this for a discussion for another day. I mean, I'm
reading things today. I wasn't even aware of that. Like
fan who carries the game last night they normally have
I stuck around and wanted to hear what Chris Finch
had to say. And they don't have a camera in
there anymore. I don't know why. I don't know whose
decision that is. I don't know why they're not doing it,
but they're not allowing I think, well, I wanted to

(14:20):
hear why why Finch didn't play him, and I heard
through quotes after the game that he just didn't feel
like he was physical enough to handle what Portland had
to offer, and that bones Highland play.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
And it's one game.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
I mean, I don't I don't think it's necessarily thrown
him under the bus and say I'm not going to
play the guy. Jalen Clark was much more, you know,
plays quality minutes last night because of his defensive ability
and what he can bring to the team, and that's
what they needed get. They had to make some stops
last night. So you know, it's just the first game
and I'm sure Dilliham will get plenty of playing time

(14:49):
and we'll move on from there. But yeah, I mean
there's there's certain things you can recognize right away last
night without Gobert and there defensively, they're not the same team.
Nas Reeds doesn't play great defense. Uh, Jayden played well,
I mean, go down the list. But overall, they showed
the grit of a championship type team when it counted
late in the fourth quarter to come back and win

(15:10):
that game when it seemed like no matter what they did,
Portland was going to stay a step ahead of him
last night and saved the day.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
And uh, you know, you kind of expect it was sloppy.
I think a Boltan's first game of the season, I
think that's it. That's I guess that happened.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
So but onto l A. They're going. They're in l
A too. So you like this club. Well, I mean,
it's gonna be interesting to see what Chris Finch does
and how he does maneuver the point guard position. I'm
anxious to see. You know, Colmley's not playing very much anymore,
and and so you know dilling.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Ham is CROs that that that that he didn't start
Why did Colmy not start?

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Because I think that they just felt that he's best
right now just coming off the bench. Yeah, and I
don't know this specific explanation of all that. I was
a little more surprised if Dillingham didn't get some time,
But again, it's one game. We'll see. I assume he'll
play tomorrow night against the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Your Vikings club three and three taking on Sandy the Chargers.
There are they they're four and three, four and three,
they won their first three games. They've gone one to
three since their only win was over a bad Dolphins
team and only by two points. Both teams struggling a bit.

(16:23):
What what's your take on that? We know Wentz is
starting and it looks like Aaron Jones might play.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Your Yeah, Aaron Jones will play it. Both teams are
dealing with some injuries. Of the Vikings, of course, I
think the latest news with the fact that Christian Darrisaw
didn't look like he's going to play, vang Eagles out again.
They the Vikings were aware of that most of the week,
so it's not going to come as a surprise even
in a short week that they can adjust that offensive line.
And uh, this is probably going to be it for

(16:50):
Wentz if I'm Carson Wentz and going, well, this is
my last shot to not just so much impress the Vikings,
but uh to impress other teams.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
You think this is his last game? Yes? I do.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
If he's brilliant, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I think the
kid's gonna be back. If he's again, I don't know
what I'm not. I'm not the doctor's looking at his ankle.
The biggest thing is and we've concentrated most people have.
We've talked so much about the quarterback situation. I've been
harping about the defense. You can't go three three straight

(17:23):
games look creating a turnover, and if they don't get
one again tonight, they're not gonna win. They're not gonna
win the turnover battle. They're not gonna win the game.
And the one guy that the Vikings always have to
be concerned about, he kills him every single time. I
don't care what uniform he's wearing is keenan al and
the wide receiver. And he's torched the Vikings time after
time after time. And that that's where the Vikings defense

(17:44):
has to step up. They have to create a short
field for Carson Wentz and this offense, and that's by
creating a turnover. It's just been way too long. I
don't think the Vikings have ever gone four games look
getting a turnover and that's the game. That's when there
was so much parody in the league. Is she cans?
You know, team like the Chargers tonight pretty even across
the board. Both teams are hurting in the offensive line department,

(18:06):
the Chargers have a have a ton of injuries in
their backfield. You know, sounds like you're picking the Chargers
to win tonight. I have really no strong feelings about
this game one way or another. And I think because
I just it's just how do you pick a favorite
in this game? Because to me, it's it's about the
It's about how the defense plays. I talked about it
last week. They they give up the big plays against

(18:27):
the Eagles where they were right in that game. And yeah,
Wentz made some stupid decisions. I mean that the grounding
of the ball, through the ball over the middle. You know,
Ham's out tonight, that's going to hurt him from a
blocking standpoint, especially with the offensive line being decimated a
little bit. Again, that that uh, Ham is out with
a broken hand, so that doesn't help matters anymore. But
got to have those quick slant patterns. He's got to

(18:50):
get rid of the ball quickly. On thousand and one,
thousand and two, hit Addison, hit Jefferson. You know, keep
moving the chains and that you know, you don't have
to go for the spectacular play all the time.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I'll disagree with you on one thing. I think if
Vikings win and wins is really impressive. He starts against
Detroit even if McCarthy's deemed healthy. Yeah, they want to
win football games too, and McCarty was there's plenty of
time to see JJ McCarthy. There's plenty of time to
see Well, he's only he's only in his second year.
It's only the second year of his contract as a
young kid, and he struggled mightily. Even the coach even

(19:20):
said that, he said, well, you know, this time off,
we've really been able to worry out some of his fundamentals.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Again, Oh, I know that's worries. So when they talk
about working on footwork, I might disagree with that. And
I'm not saying he's gonna come out with gamebusters, but
I think I think that the idea is if he's
getting closer, and that's what Kaosi seemed to indicated earlier
this week.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, you could be right. I just my hunch is that.
But you on that next week. But it all hinges
on wins being really good. Right. If Wentz plays like
he did last week, he's out. There's no doubt. We'll
see you tomorrow. No, you will not, that's right Thursday.
I'm sorry, So I'll see you on Tuesday next week. Yeah,
that's Mark Rows and you can catch them a little
bit later today on the pregame show on Fox Vikings

(20:01):
Game Dayble to take a break, come back, one more
segment to go comment man program here in the fan.
No more vibes? Is that? Editor? Do you have one for? Oh,
you're vibed out? Mega death but Tallica, five finger death,

(20:26):
paunch and fox and vomiting rats. I'm comedy. He's Brett
blakemoren for Tannabe Tannabe on his way into the radio ranch,
though he is your master control supervisor. The soon to
be Big Game World Champion Minnesota Vikings are on the
road to take on the Chargers. You'll hear that game
on this radio station if you choose pregame will begin
at five o'clock. We used to say be here for

(20:49):
the boom at seven fifty, but there's really no boom anymore.
They kind of just pooch kick it into the little
what do they call it, the little landing area. There's
an area where they had no one, so landing zone,
and so we'll see, but you be here for the
pooch kick. At seven point fifteen, a text message came
into the branch on Brian Kfan text line. It says

(21:13):
the Vikings should pull from their agreement with Kfan. Half
of their hos seemingly hate the team. Station has gotten ridiculous,
and I had to text them back and say, never happened.
They loved the fan, the most powerful and successful sports
station in the country. They love our honesty and they
do you know, I'll take you back to we had

(21:38):
the Vikings broadcast rights, lost the broadcast rights and got
them back, and the reason we lost them back in
I think it was the late nineties. Different ownership group,
by the way, was I think this was the Gang
of Twelve. They're like twelve different owners They all had
a piece of the soon to be Big Game World
champion Minnesota Vikings and the Chatham Burrero Show was in

(22:03):
its infancy and I was part of that show. I was.
I sat in the chair that you're now sitting in
for the chat Borough show. For people that we're around
back then, you know, I was a flat catcher. I was.
I was meat sauce before meat sauce was meat sauce.
And for those of you who weren't around then, it was.
It was a pretty successful show and we were the
only game in town. And Chatham Burrero, as they've always

(22:28):
been and still are to this day, are just brutally
honest when it comes to their observations regarding the hometown teams,
and I was as well. We calls them as we
seize them, and we were having much fun at the

(22:49):
at the that's the where I'm looking for. We were
having a lot of fun at the helped me out
at the at the expense that you go, at the
expense of the Vikings because they were struggling, and according
to sources that I trust, the Vikings weren't happy about

(23:12):
it and they wanted us to cease and desist. And
mc anselmo he is he Mick was the very first
general manager of the radio station, and we have now
on our see Nick Crusher, Tyler Alexander, my good friend Derek,

(23:33):
Derek Lonquist. It's we're on our fifth since I've been here.
And Mick says that won't muzzle my my talent. Then
they lose all credibility. They're not going to talk and
robotic voices and talk about how wonderful they think the
team is. And we're going to win all these games,
and anytime we lose is just because of bad luck
or bad refereeing. And I we all were very thankful

(23:56):
for that, and we admire me for that because and
we lost the Vikings broadcast. It's because of it. This
will take our game and go ahead leave We're not
playing that game. And I think over the years since
the Wolfs have bought it, I'm sure there are times
I don't even know if if Sigmunt or Sir Mark
ever listen to the radio station, I don't know. My

(24:18):
guess is they don't really care what we have to
say about the club. I mean, they would rather hear
positive things. And I think all of us, I can
only speak for myself, but I'll try to speak for us.
I think we're all positive. When the case needs to
be made for when it's positive when it's not. It's
not that we're not going to just because some of
the fans out there want us to always talk positively

(24:39):
about the club in talking robotic voices. Sorry, that's not
going to be it. Sorry, it's not the way it works.
You calls them as you sees them.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
And so.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
All of the local teams like what we do. That's
why they are with us. That's why the Vikings are
with us, the Wilder with us, the Wolves are with us,
the Gophers are with us, the Links are with us.
We have the Frost. We do their games too. I
think we do. I don't know it. That's just it's

(25:13):
it's it is. And if you can't handle it, sorry, yes,
it's like do you really want? And he says, you
know half their host seemingly hate the team. I hate
when they play badly. If you have a quarterback that
played as poorly as weinstad he had his moments. I

(25:34):
mean he actually he ran for a couple of first downs,
the bad shoulder. He wasn't getting any help with anybody open,
and he was he was under siege on those two plays.
And when your defense allows a quarterback to post a
perfect qb R rating, that q QB rating, that that
that Jalen Hurts did last week. Oh, he was supposed

(25:59):
to say positive things about the club. We lost three
and three. They're in trouble. They're sorry that their draft
picks over the past three four years haven't really panned out.
What am I supposed to say? They are all great?
I mean I even read a piece and I don't
know where I read it, but it was talking about
the Turner character. What's his name again, Dallas Salas Turner,

(26:23):
And the article was trying to paint a rosy picture
about Dallas Turner and where he's gone so far in
his career, and a lot of it was doing large
part to the quotes that the team, you know, O'Connor
was saying, well, he's done some nice things and he's

(26:43):
done that. He's gonna say, well, they have the twenty
two wide, they break it down, they do it for
a living. Maybe Dallas Turner is doing things that I
don't see that make him a very valuable player to
the defense. But when you trade as many picks as
they did to move up to seventeen to draft him,

(27:04):
you expect more of an impact player. I think you
just do. I mean, that's just the way it is.
Seventeen pickoverall should be an impact Latyner impact and I
don't see much much of an impact. And I know
he was against was Elaine Johnson this past week and
he had a lot to do with that and blah
blah blah blah blah. Well, when you're the seventeenth pick,
you're supposed to hold your own against a guy like
Laane Johnson. I think maybe part of the reason the

(27:26):
Vikings say the things they do publicly is they don't
want to beat down. They're trying to get the most
it can out of Dallas Dallas Turner, and you know,
it's possible that he's kind of in the same boat
as McCarthy, that they both have bright futures in the NFL,
but they're both just slow to start. Because McCarthy he
had one quarter he's been awful, and Dallas Turner, I'm
sure he's had moments, but I don't see anything that's

(27:47):
worthy of a seventeenth pickoverall. But he is still young
in his career. But I think you don't want to
say negative things publicly to get a guy down on himself.
They're trying to build him up and keep positivity.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
So I mean my response to that text to six'
five to one guy that have their host seemingly hate
the team stations got. Ridiculous, yeah do you really want
to listen around the clock To we're?

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Great? Yeah you, know we're the best thing when it's.
Not another one says the only reason they're all with
you guys because there really is no other. Choice there's
lots of choices out. There matter of, fact they selected
some of those choices at one. Time SO i just told, You,
dad weren't you? Listening The vikings went elsewhere and went

(28:31):
over TO wdcco the evil. Neighbor there's other, choices and
you know, what even if they're, not we've made it
so there are no other. Choices that's what we've done
because we're really good at what we, do so so

(28:55):
be it. So AND i do think the teams. Appreciate
they'd rather hear. Honesty they really, would wouldn't. You what
is a lie to you and tell us the team
we think the teams. Is you, know they're three and,
three but they really should be six and. Zero been
jobbed by the officials a lot of bad, breaks haven't
played very, well had, moments but the moments have been,

(29:18):
few too few and far. Between list, radio lazy. Radio
did you see The hall Of fame finalists? List, oh

(29:38):
here's what we. Have hold. On, uh it's a good.
Time canada is, wrong mother w Sister andersons was his?
Name this Is Ken, anderson former quarterback Of, cincinnati was
one of a dozen senior candidates and the only quarterback

(29:58):
who was chosen as a final this production of The
Pro Football hall Of. Fame these are the senior, guys
the guys that have been bypassed and, they, uh this
is basically their last. Chance here are the players that
have an opportunity that are on that. List where did
the list? GO i don't want to hear About Ken.
ANDERSON i don't care About Ken. Anderson here are the

(30:21):
quarterbacks it, Says it says, that then that story That
anderson was the only one that's not the. LIST i
See Ken, Anderson Charlie Charlie, connery And Roman gabriel are
the old timers that are. Available Ken anderson was a
really good. Quarterback you, Know i'm kind of maybe not
the best person ask about this Because i've always thought
that The hall Of fame sometimes allows a lot of

(30:44):
borderline players. In it's because they got to keep putting
guys into The hall Of fame to keep it, relevant.
Right SO i was a Big Rooman gabriel. Fan he
played for the back of you, know The, lates you,
know mid to late, sixties early, seventies for The, rams
art rival of The vikings for a, while you, Know.
Vikings we're always battling The rams in the playoffs back

(31:08):
in those. YEARS i would Like Charlie connery was an
Old he played for The giants back in the sixties running.
Backs Roger craig his heyday With San, francisco he played
some with The, Vikings Chuck, foreman Longtime viking Cecil, isbell
And Paul Tank. Younger i'm, SORRY i don't know anything
About isabelle Or. Younger you, know you can make a

(31:30):
case for Both Roger craig And Chuck. FORMAN i think
Longtime biking fans would like to See chuck get in
because he was a very good running Back hall Of fame.
Worthy i'll leave that up to the people that do
the voting on that wide. Receivers Isaac curtis somebody Called
Lobby Dill, Wegg Henry, Ellard Harold, Jackson Stanley, Morgan Art

(31:51):
powell In Otis. Taylor, again some of those names are
very recognizable to, people and they were all really good.
PLAYERS i just don't There hall Of fame worthy now
the offensive lineman on the other, side these are names
you've heard so often That i'm, Surprised Like Joe jacobe
isn't already, in Or Bob. Kuchenberg jacoby played for The,

(32:13):
hogs right for The, REDSKINS i think all those, years
and Then kuchenberg played for The. Dolphins i'm surprised neither
of those guys is in as often as you heard
their names called during the during their playing. Time defensive
lineman EL. C greenwood one of the few of The
Steel curtain that's not. IN i already thought he was.

(32:34):
In and then our Guy Jim, marshall if you, Remember
Mark rose said he would not rest Until Jim marshall
got into The hall Of. Fame and you know, What
rosie looks. Tired it seems like he has lost a
lot of. Sleep Jim, MARSHALL i, still what's the far

(33:03):
broke that? Record right for consecutive games. Played doesn't he
hold the, Record Brett Farv i'd, imagine SO i Think
marshall held it for the, longest Like marshall played like
two hundred and seventy straight games or something like. That

(33:25):
Linebackers Carl, Banks Maxie, Bond Larry, Grantham Leroy, Jordan Play Matthews,
Junior Tommy. Novis novas was a terror For, atlanta but
he played for a terrible team in a terrible, city
with terrible fans in a terrible. Stadium Defensive Backs Dick,
Anderson Bobby, Boyd Albert, Lewis Eddie, Meeter Lamar, Parrish, Efferson.

(33:47):
Wallas the one name that sticks out for. Me ANDERSON
i think was with The, dolphins and Then Everson walls
PLAYED i think For. Dallas he may did he play
For Green bay, TOO i don't. REMEMBER i know he
played For. Dallas but on this list AND i left
out a few, names nine former players will ultimately be
selected as semi finalists in a vote that slated to

(34:08):
take place sometime over the next. Month from, there three
senior nominees will be selected as finalists for possible. Induction
the Final hall Of fame, vote which also includes modern
era players and coaching. Contributor typically takes place During Super Bowl,
week with that Year's hall Of fame class being revealed
during THE Nfl. Honors so it's ways off, yet but

(34:30):
Maybe Jimmy, marshall who just passed away, recently will finally
get into The hall Of, fame and Whether Chuck foreman
gets in remains to be. Seen here's a text message
the texter said that it seems like half the hosts

(34:52):
do nothing but rip the. TEAM i. Disagree if you
take the six primary hosts on the, fan eighty three
percent of the host rip the F. Yeah, YEAH i.
Have i've certainly over the years been as hard as
anybody on the. CLUB i, mean there's what really gets people.

(35:15):
Mad as part of my stand up gig two is
WHEN i say we weren't that far out of That
PHILADELPHIA Nfc championship. Game all we needed was a, touchdown
two point conversion and on side kick touchdown on. SITE
i get ripped all the TIME i. Was most people
finally came around of my way, thinking BECAUSE i ripped
The Pole lads and The twins for years, wolves how

(35:41):
could you not rip them for as bad as they
were for so many. Decades i've even been hard on
them the last couple of, years even though they got
to The Western conference. Finals wild same. THING i don't
know what you can say that's too positive About Wild
club right. Now so you just got to call them
as he. Sees and when the teams play, well we praise.

(36:02):
Them when they, don't they. Don't you. Know i've ripped
the team for their quarterback. Decisions they should have Kept Sam,
darnald should have Signed Aaron, rodgers should have Kept Danny.
Dimes that's a, negative but that's the WAY i see.

(36:25):
It The DMEs thing was a little harder to. SEE i,
mean he wanted to be, here but he really hadn't done.
Anything is this year is the first year he's really done.
Anything but you're constantly searching for franchise. Quarterback Sam darnald
played like a franchise quarterback when we said not willing
to pay him that kind of. Money AND i understand
you want to get a quarterback rookie contract to, him

(36:45):
his hand Picked and when you're a quarterback whisperer or
at least feel like you're very good at developing, quarterbacks
it makes. Sense and we'll see there's still plenty of
time to find. Out he's still, young he's only in
his second. Year he's basically a. Rookie you last year
obviously he. Was he was hurt the entire. Year, anyway

(37:09):
we'll keep youing what we do. Here we stand strong
is what we. Do you're with, us, Right brett Leg
Mar Tough Lefve. Covenant that's exactly what. About it's The
Tough Love. Covenant thanks for having. Me, yeah great job. Today,
