(00:00):
Man, the series is all tiedup two to two. You can catch
Game five of Timberwls versus Nuggets tonightat nine p thirty right here on FM
one hundred point three k Fan andanywhere you go on the free iHeartRadio app
presented by Scar Audio Elevate. You'reright today, tension begins to mount I'm

(00:27):
common. He's tend to be MarkRose, who join and said two.
But right now, our friends atCasey's bring you our next segment, which
we call five. Four time nowfour five questions, well actually three,
but five sounds like more than four. Brought to you by Casey's General Store.

(00:52):
Question number one. The year ofthe Cat, The Detroits and quarterback
Jared Goff agreed to a four yearcontract extension worth two hundred and twelve million
dollars that includes one hundred and seventymillion dollars guaranteed. It makes Goff the
highest paid player in franchise history,and his fifty three million dollars average annual

(01:14):
salary makes him the second highest paidquarterback in the NFL, behind only Joe
Burrow. Common is Goff worth fiftythree million dollars a year? Well,
that's what that's what they paid.I guess you're worth it. III.
That's a lot of loot. Ilike golf. If he's he's sort of

(01:36):
like Lariano. If he's got ithere in good shape. If Goff is
off at the women and children doin the first five rows. He he
performed admirably last year. I meanagain, it's not all the quarterback,
most important musician, blah blah blah. But they got to the NFC championship

(01:57):
game. It was a game theythey probably should have won when you looked
at where the score was at halftime. My guess is San Francisco's coach,
what's his name again, Fanahan?He put together a quick little video audio
montage of all the talking heads thatsaid, this game is over the kid.
He's got a huge lead at halftime. It's what you got to think.

(02:20):
Finch tells that today. By theway, Yeah, because now everyone's
saying that they can't win. That'scorrect. That's a good idea. Whether
it works remains to be seen.I guess you got to pay him.
You know, every quarterback becomes thehighest paid or whatever position. The next
guy that signs. Friend of minetexted me, how are they going to
pay all these guys. He saidthat texted me several times because they gave

(02:42):
Saint Brown a big rays, theygave a big raise, they gave Golf
and probably there's might be another playertoo that they happen to give me.
That's how the league works. That'swhy you have a salary cap guy and
or apologists. Right when your windowsopen, the reason the Lions are in

(03:06):
the position they are where they wentto an NFC Championshi came, It came,
and came most so close to getinto a big game and are probably
right now by by by most accounts, are the odds on favor to defend
the North again. Your windows open, you got to the reason you're where
you are is because of the playersyou just signed to extensions. You have
to pay them. Now you're gonnahave to pay the piper. Eventually,

(03:30):
it's going to come back to hauntyou. But when your windows open,
I think you've got to pay theseguys and go forward. And their windows
seems to be wide open, right, It's like I mean, and we
know we've seen teams completely flop aftera really really good season the previous,
the previous, you know when theVikings went thirteen and four. What was

(03:50):
our record the following year they win? Last year? Was it seven?
Seven to ten? Yeah, sothat stuff's going to happen. So I
don't you gotta pay him? Yeah, it's a lot to pay here,
it is, but you almost haveto so just to Yeah, if you're
a Lions fan, you s croashyour fingers and and hope it works out.

(04:14):
What he got. Mike Conley withright achilles soreness has been added to
the Wolves injury report. He isquestionable for tonight's game five in Denver.
Question number two a Vikings, let'swin, let's game kill. There's far
It's now time to take an indepth look at the state of the school.

(04:41):
You're gonna like this one. Plentyof time to eat on this question
common right. Bill Barnwell of ESPNdot com wrote a piece titled post NFL
Draft trade Signings that should happen Tendeals and one of them included your Minnesota
Viking. He suggests the Purple shouldsign wide receiver Hunter Renfro. What he
wrote, Renfro emerged as a valuableoption out of the slot for the Raiders

(05:03):
in twenty twenty one, but aftersigning an extension injuries in the addition of
Jacoby Meyer's marginalized his spot in thelineup. After racking up one thousand and
thirty eight yards and nine touchdowns intwenty twenty one, he has totaled five
hundred and eighty five receiving yards andtwo scores combined over the past two seasons.
So what about the Vikings. They'reset atop the atop the depth chart

(05:24):
with Justin Jefferson Jeorde Addison, butkJ Osborne joined the Patriots and top tight
end t J. Hawkinson is comingoff a torn acl The Vikings brought in
Trent Sherfield this offseason and could expandBrandon Powell's role, But Renfro has a
much more productive season in the recentpast than either player has had at any
point during their respective careers. Renfrowould probably be competing with Powell for the

(05:46):
third wide out and punch a returnerrole in Minnesota, a battle he could
win if given the opportunity. Commondo you think the Vikings need to add
a receiver and if so, whatdo you want it to be? Hunter
Renford? Would you repeat that questionfor me please? I'm not quite through
with my lot. I got plentyof it digested. You know, I
always like to defer to you whenit comes to you know, you're a

(06:10):
fantasy guy. You get close attentionto players and their productivity and such like
that. You can never have toomany good wide receivers. We have the
best in the game, arguably.I think the Addison kids. He's a
nice he's a nice player. Heshowed last year when he had to become
the number one guy, he waspretty good at it. He's not on
JJ Jets level, but he's reallygood. And you got your tight end,

(06:32):
but yeah, you could. Youknow, you need a third because
our third kJ is gone. Ourthird now is Powell, and he's pretty
good. I don't know if he'sjust another kJ Osborne. You tell me,
do you think renfro is the kindof talent that is worth investing in?
Well, they wuldn't even really haveto invest a lot in them,
so that's the beauty of it.I mean, you could basically get them

(06:53):
for minimum wage. You're close tothe minimum wage at this point when it's
May fourteenth and he doesn't have ajob yet. I would say I do
think the Vikings need a receiver.The depth chart is very thin after JJ
and Addison, and if either ofthose two get hurt, boy, you're
in trouble. All of a suddenthat the great weapons that Sam Darnold and

(07:15):
or JJ McCarthy have gets very thinif one of those two get hurt,
specifically JJ. Obviously I like Hunterrun Fro. Now, I'm not gonna
act like I've been watching every singleLas Vegas Raiders game over the last year
or two, but he's He's aslot receiver. He is a possession guy.
He's not going to be getting twentyfive thirty yard gains for you,

(07:38):
but when it's third and six andyou guy, you can catch an eight
yard pass for a first down overthe middle. He's very good at He's
got great hands, He's a goodrout runner. I would definitely be interested
in Hunter run for especially probably theprice you're going to get him at,
and think he would be your thirdwide receiver. That actually felt like purple
pray. No, it really didthis because because it was considering a player

(07:59):
that you think would be a niceaddition to the vikingsget yeah, not a
trap draftic. Could you play thePurple Prey sound by us Sound and Effect
now open that give me such chanceto eat a little bit more. Per
boom pray. I gotta make sureof the right one. Heer boom pray,

(08:45):
your best Frozen Pizza Life, Makeyour house a draft house. Want to
hear who ten uh thinks that weshould draft today? Kennaby is a big
is it Mike Renfro Hunter Renfro guyfor him? Question number three, It's

(09:07):
time now for Common to fill inthe blank. Common other than Anthony Edwards,
the player most likely to have abig game tonight for the Wolves will
be blank Karl Anthony Towns. That'scontroversial. It needs to be called.

(09:31):
You need what we learned in gamefour. And let me preface this by
saying, I guess one guy couldcarry your club, but in game four
that he wasn't David to carry yourclub to victory. Ant wasn't able to
do that close. We cut itto six late, but aunt by himself

(09:54):
was not able to lift this teamto victory because he got very it'll help.
We talked about a comedy who youjust said as questionable was the next
highest score at fifteen. Ants hadforty four, Towns was one for ten
in the first half, ended upwith I think thirteen points. I don't
know did Golberty even get to doubledigits and didn't get a lot of help

(10:16):
well, and Osrie was just okayright that he scored some. I mean,
there just wasn't a lot of contributions. He didn't have anybody step up
and be like you saw with Denver, where you had thirty three or five
from Joker. You had Gordon comeup with twenty seven. And even Jamal
Murray, who didn't play very wellin the first half, chipped in seventeen.
Overall, you gotta have several guysthat can score. If somebody doesn't

(10:37):
step up, I think they're doomed. And I think it should be Big
Meal. He's a max player.This is what this is why you drafted
him number one. Overall. Youbuilt around this kid, now, I
you know, we talked about howwhen we had Anti or Big Meal on
at the beginning of the season,he said, no, we're not doing
the it's my team or your team. It is Ant's team, but it's

(11:00):
also its towns is as well.I mean it's supposed to be. And
you know, this is where heneeds to find a way to and I
don't know what it's going to be. You know, I don't know if
it's all on him, if Denver'sdoing a good job of taking him out
of the game, if they're notcalling his number right when they're setting up
plays. But he needs to,uh, he needs a big game.
And I'm I'm thinking it's gonna bebig me out. I think he's gonna

(11:24):
step up large. Will that beenough to to to beat Denver? I
don't know. That remains to beseen, but I think it's going to
be big me out. Who doyou think Tenneby is going to I'm gonna
I'm gonna go off the board alittle bit here. I don't think he's
necessarily gonna be your second best playertonight. And I don't know not that
he's gonna score twenty five points foryou, Luca Garza. I think Nakhail

(11:46):
Aleen Xander Walker is gonna have alittle bit of a bounce back game he
was. He was very good inthe playoffs up until the last game or
two. He was good in lastyear's playoff series against Denver, played well
in Denver in games one and two. I think he's gonna some defense tonight,
and his shots have not been followingthe last couple of games. I
think the bounce back comes for himtonight. He's gonna watch some clips of

(12:07):
people telling him how terrible he is, and he's going to bounce back and
give you some good support off thebench. Our bench is going to out
score Denver's bench. Well they theycertainly need that because that was another that
was another key factor in the lossgame. And that's it for today's edition
of five Questions, well actually threequestions, but five sounds like more than

(12:30):
four. Someone sent a text sayingPurple Prey chills. Somebody got chills just

contest to enter, Tenny, I'mabout to read a text message that the

(13:45):
text messenger starts with controversial topic.Controversial Tom, that's interesting, thank you.
Here's what it says. This iscourtesy of our Brad Sjaan Bryant kf
an text line Nordo, is itbetter singer than hockey? You have your

(14:16):
one hit wonders in the world,right, Tennaby, I mean there are
there are certain artists that had onehint that that hit might be better than
the entire body of work of someof the legendary acts. Right. It's
if you gave me a few minutesto think, I could probably come up
with a song or two, maybeeven a couple of thirteen fourteen. Would

(14:37):
this be controversial if I said,and even preposterous? Is Nordo on purple
Prey that might be better than anythingHockey's ever sing? Saying sung though though
Hockey overall is a better singer,better range, he has a better catalog
because Nordo, that's pretty hard tomatch. Purple Prey. Purple Pray makes

(15:01):
men weep, it does, itmakes it's so good and he's got that
little vibrato going in there. It'sjust so good it makes I think it
makes musicians all over the Twin Citiesblush pas. You used always like to

(15:24):
say, I think it's really good. I'm very, very thrilled with it.
Ten To me, there's something calledtotal pro sports. Total they're already
dismissing the Purple And we haven't evenwe haven't even. All we've had is
rookie reporting Day. We haven't evenhad oda's and mini cams and training camp

(15:48):
and a couple of meaningless preseason games, none of that. And here's what
Total pro Sport says. Ten NFLteams that have no chance at making the
playoffs is coming twenty twenty four seasonon the list, your Minnesota Vikings.
He says, no chance you've gotmaking the play. Here's what it says,
make no mistake. We love theJJ McCarty j J McCarthy fit in

(16:12):
Minnesota. He has the skill setto be this team's long term answer at
quarterback, and it's hard to complainabout a supporting cast that features Justin Jefferson,
TJ. Hawkinson, and Jordan Addison. But Folks, the Vikings aren't
eying immediate title contention in twenty twentyfour. This is a retooling here for

(16:32):
Kevin O'Connell squad. If they wantedto compete next season, the Vikings would
have found a better bridge QB optionthan old Sam. Donald had an arm
EI EIO with the TD here andthe TD there. Yes, Minnesota has
the firepower to be a competitive team. We saw that last year when they
squeaked out seven wins despite using fourcount of four different quarterbacks. But Donald

(16:57):
and a rookie QB are not goingto turn Minnesota into a playoff contender this
year. There are still holes onthe offensive line and on the defense too.
You know that very defense that lostits best player Daniel Hunter and free
agency. The makeup of Minie's rosterisn't even the main reason we have them
on this list. It's mostly becauseof the division they play in. Both

(17:18):
the Detroit Lions affectionately known as theMotor City Kidties in some parts, and
the Green Bay Packers are big gamecontenders, and the Bear should make plenty
of noise with Caleb Williams, Romeono is It rome Romeo Doonsay, and
Keenan Allen coming aboard. The Vikingsare easily the worst team in their own

(17:41):
division, one that might feature threepostseason teams. If there's one team in
the NFC North that's going to bepicked on by its opponents, it's Minnesota.
There was a time you could justreplace Lions with Minnesota, or Detroit
with Minnesota, the Lions with Vikings. Right, Kevin O'Connell should have this

(18:03):
scent to every player. Yep,much like Mike Malone started on the bulletin
board, his little montage of allthe national talking heads saying the series is
a rap. Though I will saythis tenetby and again at this moment in
time, the snapshot, the photographright now in time, it's hard to
argue with what they're saying here.Now, I think I'm starting to you

(18:27):
know, b Flow starting to ruboff on me a little bit here.
He's starting to catch on with me. He's he knows what he's doing.
We got the Floyd Turner, NoDallas Turner. Dallas Turner. He seems
by all accounts, you know,and again that doesn't guarantee anything. Might
be he couldn't have been the biggestboss in the history of the optional football.

(18:48):
They go, I don't think hewill be, but he looks like
he shouldn't be able to replace Danilsomewhat. There were we had two other
pass rushers that I think get highmarks, maybe not you know, franchise
type defensive players, but they're bothgood and you know, we talked,
you know, and again he's right. The interior of the line might not
be as good as as we'd likeit to be, but it's you know,

(19:12):
it's being in the division maybe oneof the one of the biggest reasons
why they might not make postseason play. And there there still are a lot
of questions, particularly we don't knowif let's say Donald does get the start.
You know, we've speculated or surmisedor at least think thing thunk out

(19:32):
loud that Hey, if if whateverybody says about rookie quarterback landing spot Vikings
is the best because of a disdatand lad everything he mentioned here, why
couldn't the same beast said for SammyDarnold, who was in his what fourth
or fifty year and when he wasdrafted third overall, he was highly begotted
playing in a couple of cities thatdidn't have a lot of help around him,

(19:56):
and then he spent the last seasonin a backup to San Francisco where
he wasn't gonna get chance to playunless there was an injury to a rock
party. So but you still don'tknow what he's gone, and McCarthy is
young, and how long will youhave to have the training wheels on?
So having no chance in making theplayoffs, I'm not sure I would go
that far, but I don't thinkit's that far off the mark. Do

(20:18):
you were or not? Well,let's take away the Vikings part of this,
Okay, are we starting to overrateour division a little bit? Like?
I have reason to believe Detroit's goingto be a really good team now
because they've done it for not onlylast year, but the year before that.
They were showing half of that show. They were on the rise.
They were eight and two in thelast ten games. Green Bay was pretty

(20:40):
mediocre for the vast majority of lastseason. Now, I get they won
a playoff game and came on alittle bit at the end, but I'm
still not like convinced, like theGreen Bay Packers are some big game contender
going into this season. And thenChicago. Do I think Chicago's heading in
the right direction, Yes, butthey still have a rookie quarterback who's going

(21:02):
to start all their games. Andas good as Kaylen Williams might be someday,
typically those quarterbacks aren't brilliant right fromthe get go. I get CJ.
Stroud had a great year last year, but that's usually the exception to
the real correct, that's correct,I mean usually, Well, there's no
sure thing Caleb Williams is going tobe great, even though he's a great

(21:22):
prospect. And then then even ifhe is going to be great, there's
no sure thing he's going to begreat in year one. So they're still
going to be dealing with a rookiequarterback trying to learn the NFL, learn
the system, trying to ingratiate himselfwith his teammates like this whole like a
Chicago Now, they might have agood season. Caleb might be brilliant,
but I would say it's more likelythan not Chicago's not a five hundred team.

(21:47):
I would guess they're gonna be underfive hundred just based off of just
historically right, that doesn't happen.So I'm just not convinced like our division
of some all world division as everyone'sprojecting it to be. I think you
might be spot on, well saidtennebe Or you know, you know what
you do. You always have thesecond day's take on the first day,
you know, regarding is nord Toa better singer than Hockey? And you

(22:12):
know I made the controversial comment thatmaybe that one song is better than anything
but Hockey's body work Speaks volumes twotext messages on that tenab The first one
says, don't forget about Murph inhis one big hit Unfinished Business, better
than anything the Rolling Stones ever?Did I think so? I would actually

(22:33):
agree? I would. I don'tthink there's I mean, I like anything
Zeppelin's done, well, let's notget carried away, but Rolling I mean
Sympathy for the Devil is really good. Ruby Tuesday, A lot of great
tunes but unfinished. And then thisone too, by the way, with
hockey, we should mention he diddo MV three, he did do it,
really good song. And then there'sthis one. I'd rather listen to

(22:55):
Meat Sauce cover Barbers, Streisand's jingleBells and prey and I've heard meat saus
do it hundreds hundreds of times atFlop, Sweat and tears will break come
back. We're just a half houraway from the legendary Mark Roseant. Here

Wolves and caffeine swag will have togive away as well. For full details.
Sent over to camfan dot com.Keybret Calendar. Interesting story out of

(23:44):
Green Bay that you just handed metenebee. Over the years we've had if
I'm not mistaken, I remember eachcircumstance. Maybe you can help me here.
We've had media members become like generalmanagers or coaches of teams. Like
wasn't David Kahn journalist? He wasa journalist and became the general manager of

(24:06):
the soon to be Big Game Worldchampion Minnesota Timberwls and made some really brilliant
moves, passing on Steph Curry notonce but twice to select Ricky Rubio and
then who is the other kid?And then I'm not Johnny Flynn. I
believe there was a play by playguy baseball that got a managerial job.

(24:30):
I'm almost certain of it. Ijust don't remember the exact circumstances behind it.
It was a but it was aguy who went from the radio booth
he went down as field general andI think it it failed miserably. Now
Matt Millen, he had been afootball player, but then he went up
into the booth and was a analyst, I believe, for Fox, and

(24:52):
then was hired by the Motor CityKid, and he made some brilliant decisions
as a general manager here by selectingI think four consecutive years he took Detroit's
first overall selected wide receivers, andI think he hit it on only one.
This from ESPN sources, green Bayexpected to hire, not the Packers

(25:15):
were talking about their basketball club expectedto hire Doug Gottlieb as their basketball Gottley
was one of the final candidates forthe green Bay vacancy last spring, but
the job ultimately went to Sundance Hicks. What a great first name. Sundance
Wix left the program to be abecome head coach at Wyoming, the state
he's from. I'll get to thatin a moment. Athletic director Josh Moon

(25:41):
moved quickly to tab Gottlieb as wicksreplacement. He's never had college coaching experience.
He's been part of the staff ofthe United States team in the two
thousand and nine and twenty seventeen mccabellagames. He was an assistant under Bruce
Pearl in two thousand and nine andwas a head coach and was in two
thousand nine and was the head coachin twenty seventeen. Godlely was interviewed for

(26:03):
the Oklahoma state job too, sohe's going to get that job whether that
works or not. His his hisfather, his late father, Bob,
was a head coach at Milliewaukee fromseventy five to nineteen eighty. But it's
it's interesting to ten to be becausehe's replacing sun Dance Wicks. And the

(26:26):
reason I find that interesting is Ispent seven years my formative radio years in
Wyoming. It was a big WyomingCowboy fan that was back in the Fentace
Dembo, Eric Leckner days Dembo andthey called Dembo the Electric Man, and
he was in the Cowboys ended upgoing to they won, I think they

(26:52):
won the NIT Tournament. The followingyear, they got to the NCAA Sweet
sixteen and then they were kind ofthe media darlings going going forward. The
next season, Dembo was on thefront cover of Sports Illustrated for their NCAA
Men's College Basketball issue, Fennis Demboand Eric Lechner, and they ended up

(27:14):
getting to the NCAA Tournament again,but they ran into that loyala Marymount team
that would run I can't remember thecoach's name, but they would full court
press the entire game from start tofinish. Wyoming was a half core team.
It ended up being like a oneoh one to one hundred victory for
mary Mount, and we were devastatedin Wyoming because we really thought we'd fooled

(27:37):
ourselves, much like Wolves fans thoughtthey were going to sweep Denver. I
think many media members, including thosenational guys, and we know who you
are, says Mike Malone. Wekind of expected Wyoming to make a deep
run. So Wanning time I seea story about Wyoming, I just quickly
glanced at it, and this storyabout the Wicks kid. He it says

(28:07):
he. Here's the story I wasfrom ESPN. I read it over the
weekend. Weyman his hired former assistantsun Dance Hit Wicks as the Cowboys new
men's basketball coach. Wicks spent lastseason as the coach of Green Bay,
where he led the Phoenix. Talkabout rising from the ashes part in the
punt to an eighteen and fourteen record, fifteen wins more than the previous season,

(28:30):
one of the biggest turnarounds in collegebasketball. The native of Jellette,
Wyoming, was a former assistant withthe Cowboys from twenty twenty to twenty twenty
three. Was also coach at MissouriWestern. Now here's what he had to
say about coaching Wyoming. Listen tothis. This is a guy I like

(28:51):
this. This is a guy thatloves being where he is. It says,
I'm honored, humbled, and immenselygrateful for this opportunity of the universe
of Wyoming. You cannot put intowords what it means for a kid from
the country roads outside of Gillette torepresent the state of Wyoming and the Cowboys
as their new head basketball coach.If there is one thing I learned growing

(29:14):
up in Wyoming, it's asked,not what sundacks and wicks can do for
you, but what now? Hedidn't say that. So if there's one
thing I learned growing up in Wyoming, and that when you honor the Brown
and Gold, you are honoring somuch more than just the University of Wyoming.
You're honoring every single hardhat that wokeup before the sun to work the
coal mines. Honoring the Brown andGold is the understanding that a tip of

(29:37):
the cap, a steering wheelwave,a hard handshake, or a big hug
is how you lift your people upin support of a hard day's work.
I mean, that's inspirational. Thatalmost sounds like a campaign type of speech.
You're running for the governor of thestate of Wyoming. Maybe he is,
and if he can bring the WyomingCowboys back to those thrilling days of

(30:00):
fantas Dembo Eric elector years he probablycould win the state House. What do
you want to I think he's gettingpaid more as a college coach than anyone
as the governor. There's no questionabout that. I just love it,
you know, honoring the brown andgold. Does I understand a tip of
the cap, a steering wheel wave, and a hard handshake or a big

(30:21):
hug. That's how you lift yourpeople up in support of a hard day's
work. Best of luck to him. I'll be watching, by the way,
the Gottlieb story. Maybe I justdidn't hear you say it, But
the most interesting part to me wasat the end that he's he hosts a
Fox Sports radio show radio show yep, and he's planning on doing the show,
which I don't get how you couldbe a college basketball coach and host

(30:44):
a radio show at the same time. But well, particularly because other than
a fighter pilot, a basketball coachhas to make more decisions than any of
the profession in the world, Idon't know how he's gonna be able to
do the both. I'm glad somebodyhelped me out there, because again my
memory is failing. I've never reallyhad much of a Paul west Head was

(31:07):
the Loyola Marrymount head coach. Restin peace, Hank Gathers would have made
a run that he had not passedcutlass clay guy. It was Paul west
Head in Loyola Marymont. The constantmotion, constant pressing, and it was
the constant pressing was depressing for USCowboy fans because we're like, how do
we get that draw? The veryfirst game? We got dumped in the

(31:29):
first round and they but they play, I mean they handled it pretty well.
I think their head coach was JimBrandenburg was the head coach of the
Army Cowboys back then. But Iremember those days. But they're just gone
forever, so I should probably justlet them go. I received a Eric

(31:49):
eskill of the scarf provides me withplenty of material for the grum every day,
and I do appreciate it. Somethingfrom Dove Cleanman d o V is
that his first name is it shortfor Donovan. I don't know Cleman kl
E Is he an aggregator? Okay, so Dove Cleman is an aggregator.

(32:14):
Here's what he writes in a tweet. It will potentially cost hashtag NFL fans
eight hundred and fifty dollars to watchevery game next season. In other words,
if you want to watch every game, you have to pay for all
the different platform you get your freeover the air TV. Like if you're
a Vikings fan and you just careabout the Vikings, you'll get most of
these games on your CBS stations exceptsixty minutes on the West Coast, which

(32:37):
will be followed by murder. Shewrote, But if you have a Thursday
night game, is that Prime orPeacock? Now? I don't remember.
Somebody does the Thursday night game?So if now do they? If it's
if it's the local team on aThursday night, do one of the local

(33:02):
stations get it? Yes? Sothen if you wanted to watch just your
hometown eleven, it doesn't sound likeyou'd have to pay anything. I don't
think right if you get the Thursdaybecause how about ESPN? Same thing?
If it's on ESPN? Is it? Also if you don't have cable,
if you just have over the airTV, you have five rate TV stations

(33:22):
two, four, five, nine, and eleven, though two doesn't really
count because all they play is amasterpiece theater and to McNeil lehr report.
But you see what I'm trying tosay. But anyway, if you wanted
to really consume games seventy two ninetynine, YouTube TV eight ninety nine,
Prime Video five ninety nine, Peacockten ninety nine, ESPN plus six dollars

(33:45):
and ninety nine cents for Netflix,the total is five h six eighty six,
which is before the Sunday ticket,which costs three hundred and forty nine
dollars. Total cost is at leasteight hundred and fifty five dollars and eighty
six cents a year. I don'tknow if this math is right, and
if all I say, all ofthose individuals, you know, like the
ESPN plus one, I think that'sjust for one month, so you would

(34:07):
then also, I'm assuming the wayit's been route, you'd have to then
play the game up. Well,this one's on ESPN plus. I'm going
to sign up for just this game. And then they like, it's not
how you're having all those throughout theyear. Yeah, I think you're probably
right, that's exactly it. Butit's pricey to watch the National Football League

(34:28):
and the I'm not gonna say theproblem is, but let's let's call it
that for the average everyday rube thatreally doesn't want to plump down that kind
of dough. The NFL is sopopular they can get that kind of money
for it. It's like tend tobe those outrageous and they are literally outrageous.
Ticket prices for NBA Playoff games atTarget right at the bullseye. I

(34:50):
mean, those prices were just Imean some of them were you know,
what is it like two or threehundred dollars to sit in the nosebleeds and
then those court side seats were likethousands in thousands and thousands of dollars.
But if people are willing to payus that we talked about, when would
you Evered Goff? Is he worththat kind of money? Probably not,
But if that's what the market bears, if that's what you can get,

(35:10):
that's what it's worth. I guess. I I like having I have the
Sunday ticket through YouTube now strictly becauseI'm a kiddies fan and I wanted I
watch every Vikings game and I watchevery Kiddies game, and I got to
have that, and then I dothe I guess I do the third whatever

(35:32):
they're Yeah, they've gotten me hookLine and SYNK and I bought in.
It's the one sport I bought in. I have what whenever they're charging for
all those stations, I have themall. So now I wouldn't pay money
to watch Ravens Kansas City on Thursdaynight. I can skip that. Even
that's a good matchup. The seasonover? Anymore leaks? Don't we have

(35:52):
more? Oh? Yeah, we'vehad some more leaks? Oh do we
have leaks? Do we have anyViking leaks with games? The only I
haven't seen a Viking is leak.I'm trying to think. Think the only
league we had yesterday was the seasonopen at the Toys Day night game,
which the defending two time defending worldchampion Kansas City Chiefs. Are they hosting
the Ravens too? Is at ahome game? Okay as a home game.

(36:15):
Were there some other leaks that?I mean? That would have been
trying to remember all of them.I know the Chiefs second game is against
the Bengals. I know that's ashowdown game. Early Aaron Rodgers and the
Jets are going to be the Mondaynight game Week one, and they're at
San Francisco. That's a chance that'sa that's own one start for mister Rogers.

(36:35):
And that was where mister wasn't hebitter because San Francisco didn't draft them?
Because when he was drafted, hehe grew up in a San Francisco
forty nine Ers fan. Remember that, wasn't that that famous quote where he
said something like what did he thinkabout the forty goes? Well, I'm
going to make them, yeah,regret that decision or something like that.
So that's a little bit. That'sa little revenge game for for Aaron,
I guess. And then I thought, I saw Packers Eagles, okay,

(37:02):
are going to be somewhere international ona Friday. It might might be that
Week one Friday. And then Ialso saw, because Tom Brady was a
part of the league, his firstgame on Fox is going to be Cowboys
Browns Week one, Cowboys against thebrown I think that's all I can remember
at this stage. It's all offthe top of my head. Does uh

(37:27):
does Ayahuasca guy play the Packers thisyear? Is that game on the schedule?
I loved I'd watch that even thoughthe Vikings only play the Jets,
because it's that it's that crossover extramatchup now they went to seventeen games,
so it's not like the Vikings areplaying the AFC East. But we get
the Jets. We get the Jets. Is are a crossover matchup here or
there everywhere? All Right, here'shere's what we have now. Week one,

(37:49):
so raven a Chiefs Thursday Night.That Friday, they're not doing a
Friday game, Packers and Eagles inBrazil. That one's gonna be on Peacock
Cowboys that Browns on Sunday, andthen Jets at forty nine Ers for Monday
Night Football. The following Week two, the Thursday night game is gonna be
Bills at Dolphins. That'll be onAmazon Prime. I already mentioned that Bengals

(38:10):
Chiefs game that could be a previewof your AFC AFC Championship. And it
looks like for now I'm going throughthe entire I do have some reporting myself,
though, oh you do my reportingThanksgiving Day, both the Lions and

(38:34):
the Cowboys will have a game onthat day. No, yeah, that's
what my sources are telling me.Also Week eighteen, let me ask you
this, will those games do yoursources say? Will they be home or
away for the Cowboys? Will bothbe home games. Really, the Lions
will have the first game, probablya little bit before noon, yeah,
probably like eleven thirty start, andthen the Cowboys will host a game I

(38:59):
can't say, okay, and thenmy sources also telling me the Vikings will
play an NFC North opponent the lastweek of the season. You know your
sources are are I think here's tenabe. You know we we the highest bid
we have so far for your MinnesotaTimberwolves winning the World Championship betting slip.

(39:20):
You paid one hundred dollars at twentytwo to one odds, which would pocket
you twenty two hundred dollars twenty oneprofit one hundred from twenty two hundred profit,
yes, twenty three hundred okay,three twenty two hundred dollars profit the
highest end you paid one hundred forit. That was looking like money in
the bank four days ago. Ifelt great. Yeah, now the Wolves
have lost to in a row.I offered you. I My offer was

(39:44):
you give me one hundred and yourBetty ticket. You rejected that summarily.
The highest bid we've had so faris was it one hundred and seventy five
dollars or from somebody else? Thatwas somebody else. No, my my
best offer view was you give mea one hundred and your betting slip both
just for me to take it offyour hands so you don't have to suffer.

(40:06):
Someone just offered this one up.I have an offer for tenn Tobee
slip one hundred and fifteen dollars,a frame picture of myself with Mark Rosen,
a pack of athletic socks and HomeAlone two on Blu Ray DVD.
Now that's a nice little pride.That's that's a pretty good swag back.
I think you got it, beenlooking yeah, And a frame picture of

(40:29):
this person with Mark Rosen. It'sRyan and Michigan. Ryan was the one
who who who won the talk backand then drove all the way from the
up remember and drove all the waydown to ust Bank Stadium for the Vikings
draft. You remember that tend tobe. How could you forget? So he
took a picture of Rosen in himat the draft, so he's willing to

(40:52):
give you one hundred and fifteen dollars. A frame picture of Ryan from Michigan
with Mark Rosen, the athletic socksand Home Alone two on Blu Ray DVD.
I think that Trump's one hundred andseventy five dollars. But it's your
choice a bigger package. That's abigger package, and so that's the best
for Tennaby right now. We'll haveto we'll have to see if a better

(41:14):
deal comes in, but that's thethat's the top one so far. And
I get those offers in now becauseif the Wolves win, Tennabee will pull
you off or off the table.Of course, if he they lose.
If they lose, Tennabe get itfor like twenty bucks, you might get
it. Give me twenty bucks.Give me twenty bucks is what you might
get it for last test before wego to break and then welcome Mark Rose

(41:37):
in it. It says all thesepeople crying about NFL prices to watch TV
is probably it's probably already team mostprobably already have Amazon Peacock in one game
that wasn't NBC last year. SinceI do, and he's been watching,
I don't get all the complaints.I don't even know what to say.
It's you know, he's texting,you know probably and it's not transcribing right

(41:59):
way. I think what he's basicallysaying is sometimes you already have those prescriptions
to those anyway, So it's subscriptions. Yeah, I like saying prescriptions.
That's my bit. You have prescriptionsto those, to those those certain those
streaming services or channels or whatever whereverthe case may be. But yeah,

(42:20):
I don't. If you know,it's everybody that has if you have the
means, if you have the wherewithalwhere you have disposable income. Some people
like using and going to happy hours, tend to Bee likes betting one hundred
dollars on the Wolves to win atall. People have different ways they like

(42:44):
to spend their discretionary money. Andif you want to spend it like I
do on television programming so I canwatch, I'm debating whether I should pay.
I used to have the Zone.The Zone is having the uh Gypsy
King versus Oosick heavyweight title unification fighton It's the first heavyweight title title unification

(43:07):
bout since Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. Local note Tennebee Mark Nelson legendary local
referee. He will be referee inthat title fight. This is probably the
biggest fight of his career. He'sHe's referee to Pacquiao fight, a lot
of big fights but this is hisfirst heavyweight title fight, so best of

(43:29):
luck to Mark Nelson and Mike Fitzgerald, one of our local judges who I've
worked with for years as ring announcer. He's one of the three judges at
the fight. So a couple oflocal angles in that heavyweight title fight,
and you know, I think I'llcall throw out a bat signal to uh
Caleb Caleb Truax, recently retired formerIVF super middleweight champion. We will have

(43:51):
him on for a segment, maybetomorrow or Friday, talk about the world
title fight. We'll take a break, come back, Munros and joins us.
Next you're on the fans
