Speaker 1 (00:01):
I still like nine, but Showtime's pretty cool too. I've
been on Showtime two different times. I did ring announcing
for cards at Target Center, and they needed a local.
I guess they didn't want to. They didn't want to
bring in Jimmy No, Jimmy Lennon Junior, Michael Buffer, because
(00:22):
those guys cost big bucks. I come cheap and Welcome
to show Time. This Showbox the New Generation. They had
to do it like ten times in the open. I
don't think they liked it. They brought me back a
second time, but I don't think they They particularly thought
(00:42):
I was very good at it, and I guess I'm
really not.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, Take eight, Try it again from the top.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Welcome to Showbox the New Generation. Okay, let's try it again.
Take nine. Take it from the top. And I did
it a couple I bet I did it six seven
times six seven and finally got it to uh at
least where they thought. I'm sure the guy was saying,
I don't think it's My guess is I couldn't hear
(01:12):
any of this. You know, they were probably talking in
the booth amongst themselves, but the guy probably said, I
don't think it's going to get any better than what
we've got from him right now.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It's just it's it's not there.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But be consistent and then we'll be consistent and go
hand in hand. Wow, there's so much to get to.
This is a big game for the Vikings. Obviously against
the Bears, we've beaten them once. We're four and five.
We can't afford another loss. You drop to four and six,
and then you figure ten, You know, you figure ten
to seven is probably gonna you have.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
To you have to.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, I don't think it can be any worse
than I suppose you could squeeze in as the final
wild card at nine to eight, but more, you know,
I again, we just don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We'll see how it all plays out.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But I got to think you got to be almost
ten seven, And if we got five losses already, Tim,
that doesn't attend to me.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That doesn't leave a.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Lot of margin for error. So we'll certainly talk a
lot of Vikings. Then the other big time football program
in town, the Minnesota Golden Golfers, have another Friday night game.
Are they again instead of the Golden Gophers? Are they
the sacrificial Lambs are taking on? I'm not sure where
Oregon is ranked their top ten. They won the Big
Ten last year. They're one of the best teams in
(02:26):
college football. That game is tonight. The Wild are back
in action. The Wolves are back in action.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The Frost are they back in action?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh no yet, there's season uncertain? And then what about
Oregon is ranked eighth.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
ESPN polls, So there's plenty to get to today. I'm
not sure where to begin. Let's spin wheel the top
of Waning for the last time, because now there's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not as much going on. Something time shift foot and
find it out on my own commons golf. Oh, that's surprising.
What'd you see it today? Seventy nine? We play? I
press my no, I'm sorry, it's all logger's trail. Where'd
you hit it?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
On?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
One?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
The gout?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
How far from the green?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I had a pitching wedge in my hand. Second shot,
I hit a beautiful pitching wedge that hit just in
front of the green.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You need to hit in front of the greens early
in the morning this time of year, because.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Let's just say, the greens are a little lively right
then because of the cold.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Tempts well, it popped on the green.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I had thirty five feet and hit a beautiful thirty
five foot life. But I again was putting so beautifully today,
though I did miss two critical putts. I missed an
eight footer for birdie on eleven, and then I missed
a bogie putt on seventeen for about five feet. Otherwise
I hit some twelve footers, some six footers, eight footers,
making all sorts of wonderful putts all day. I just
(03:51):
can't seem to, you know, finish out the round with
an exclamation mark. I mean, I stand, I'm I'm on
over through seven, and then I get sloppy, just like
I did the other day at Loggers. I went bogey bogey,
So I shoot thirty nine. Then I part ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
bogie fifteen, and I was lucky to make bogey. I
(04:12):
didn't hit one good shot except for the uh the.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Ten foot bogie putt.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Sixteen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I made a remarkable par I hit a great drive,
just a terrible hybrid. I either hit a great hybrid
or a bad hybrid.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I've got one fifty three into the green and I
fly it blind shot from down below, goes into that
collectionary on the right, and it's a front right pin,
and I decide to putt from down in that collection area.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm like forty five.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Feet most of it going uphill, and I said, I'm
just gonna because I don't. It's a tricky little pitch.
It's just a delicate pitch. And I figured the putt
was better. And what I do when I have difficult shots,
I just go up and hit him. And I did,
and I lagged it up to foot and a half
two feet and made it so and.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Then I doubled seventeen. I had one.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Ninety to the flag par three, and I pulled the
hybrid into that left green side.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And it's it's a middle pin, but there really is
no middle part of the green.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
On seventeen at Loggers, He's got the front tongue in
the back tongue and it's kind of so it's a
couple of steps from the middle out of that back
and I hit just an awful sandshot. I shank it
out of the bunker. It skips across the green lands
and the rough.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Then I hit up.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I kind of thinned up a sand wedge, but I
thought it was going in. It rolled right over the
edge of the cup. Then I missed a five footer
and then I bowg eat eighteen. So now you play
the first sixteen and four over the last two and three,
and that's how he gets a seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But I'm feeling I think things are good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'll wrap up the year tomorrow at pressback at Wedgewood
and Woodbury, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
With the rest of our lives. Would you like me
to go over it again? Tennaby did a?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Did I cover it enough? Ghost town here at sixteen
hundred Judica Avenue. There's nobody here. The only people that
were here were you and me, Amy James, Greg Sweatberg
was here in rich Davis. That's it. Oh, an engineering guy,
that's it. No one else here, So it's a ghost town.
(06:20):
But Lit'll be I think is going to be here?
She not?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
She wasn't in her office. Is she expected to be here?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
As far as I know, I don't remember her?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So Lit'll be feminine Touch will join us at one
o'clock and then we have a special program password for you.
The very mild mannered, low key almost like he's under
the influence of some type of narcotic downer of some
sort of Tommy Olsen and then high high energy Helvy.
(06:48):
So that will be our program password and we'll do
a little to dis dat and a lat other side
of the break, it's peak at the Purple. Let's take
a deep dive into the purple. It is a game
that is urging for the Vikings. I got a staff
for you that will be sobering to say the least.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We'll do that next comment man program Here on the.
Speaker 1 (07:07):

(07:39):

you guessed it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
O ho ho ho whoaw ho, it's shockingly affordable. There
was a here's a sober and statistic tend Toby and
I didn't come up with this.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
This was sent.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
This is one of Paul's intercepted text messages. This one
came in at nine forty one twenty four this morning.
That says, there's never been a first year QB whin
this Super Bowl. There's never been a first year QB
that has made it all the way to the Super Bowl.
Anyone thinking McCarthy will be the first to do so
(09:49):
as completely delusional. What a negativity out there towards JJ
McCarthy and the Minnesota vikings is just astonishing to me.
I mean, you know what I think it is. I
think it's bandwagon, I really do. Guys are laying it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
On the line.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, but you know, you know my response to that
would be tennaby it's there there.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
There there's an old saying it just made up. There's
the first time for everything. So maybe this is the year.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Uh they better get started though you know, I know
you you played Urgent, you could have also played right now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Bye bye uh by u van.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Halen because they got to get this thing turned around
right now.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Vikings and the Bears play It's it's a street fight.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You're gonna get ready for a street fight. You best
start getting right now.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
This was it was pinned.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That means, yeah, it's actually starred on on the text
message thing. But this was from yesterday afternoon, three thirty
eight thirty one during Big Ticket show. Can you ask
(11:10):
Sean who was Sewan?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Sean Salisbury because he has Salisbury y Yeah, yeah, so
he's talking to Berry says, Can you ask Sean if
he would agree that we need to get JJ out
of the pocket and moving around in the bootleg style.
He is an athletic kid, and I feel like against
the Ravens there were a few opportunities that he could
have capitalized on with his legs and did not do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We needed to establish him as a running threat if
we are not going to establish the running thread with
a running back, and I think that would ultimately open
up his ability to get the ball downfield and keep
the defensive backs on their toes when he has the
ball in his hand, and that's you know, on paper,
that sounds good, that's all wonderful in a real world,
but sometimes it's a bit more difficult than that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I think.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Plus, the guy's kind of brittle. I mean, missed his
entire first season because of a knee injury. Then he
was five weeks because of an ankle injury. Now he's
got a bruise hand where he's got to wrap on it,
and he said that's probably gonna be like this all
year long. So I mean, yeah, you can get the
guy running around, but every time he's you know, I
(12:15):
even I tweeted this during.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
One of the Vikings games. I don't recall.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't think you're actually probably less likely to take
a lot of these quarterback injuries are actually in the
pocket right when they're just standing there and someone's going
into their knees.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Something.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You get him out in the open, doesn't mean he's
running every time. Justly, they probably should have done it
when his offensive line is more beat up.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I tweeted during one of.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
The Vikings games, something that fat to remember. The exact
tweet was like, does somebody else and I remember how
I said it, but you actually cringe or close your
eyes when he starts running around because he has been
to this point injury prone. Now it could just be
bad luck, right, that happens sometimes just you get hit
(13:01):
wrong and it really has nothing to do with me
a injury pro and you just skew, just get hit wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But he's in his short career.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
He missed an entire season with a knee injury, he missed,
he missed five games because of a sprained ankle, and
now he's not missed anything from the hand yet.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
But I will see if that that hampers him at all.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So yeah, I mean it's always good to have it,
you know, for a quarterback to be able to run,
but you do bring.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Danger in that way too. I would just.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Say, provide a clean pocket for him. I get the
offensive line that we spent all that money on. I
remember we went and now the center is is is
it Ryan?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What is he back now? Because didn't he.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Was practicing, was practicing. I don't know if he's playing well.
We don't think he's practice window has opened up.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Okay, practice windows open up.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So as far as I know this will be the
second week though, that we will have had.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Four fifths of our.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Offensive line that we had expected to have at the
beginning of the season. Right Darris left tackle, one Alet
right tackle, Jackson at left.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Guard, and Fries at right guard. And then.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Brandell, if you'll remember, he was ushered in to the
starting center position, not by design, by circumstance.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
We had no center, they needed a center. He'd never
played the.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Position before, and by all accounts, at least from what
I've heard from those that understand the game, especially the
offensive line a little bit better than I do, that
he's done a nice job.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So this first game was really good. Yeah, I think
the second game was not good. Right now, I haven't
really heard much since, so I think he's been okay,
So I think he's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So and again, it's pretty there are There are not
many teams that have five really great guys on the line.
Maybe Philadelphia does, Detroit did for a while, but they're
kind of beat up now as well. But some team,
most teams, there's going to be of your five starting linemen,
the two guards, the two tackles, in the center, there's
always somebody that probably at least one of the guys
(15:32):
leaves a little bit to be desired, but we'll see.
You know, the Bears. I, you know, I tend to
you know, A couple of people have chided me for
you know, I, you know, me tend to be I
like pardon upon poking the bear, and not necessarily the bear,
but the listener. And so I've been kind of extolling
the virtues of the Bears. I haven't beaten anybody yet.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, you're right, but you can only beat who's in
front of you.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And there's still when they're six and three, Sorry, they're
tied for first. You could look at all the teams
in the league and say, who have they beaten? The
Vikings have beaten The only quality club that they've beaten,
I would say would.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Be Detroit, Right, who else have they beaten? Bears?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
If you think the Bears are overrated, then you have
to dismiss the Vikings game as getting by by the skin.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Of their teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
If you think the Bears are overrated, then that Viking
went over the Bears isn't that big of a deal.
And then they lost to the Browns and the Bengals,
And those are two teams that Burrow didn't play.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Those are two pretty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Bad teams, and then he lost to the Ravens, who
you know, they're no shame to that because they are.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Playing a lot better now and they've got their quarterback back.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But nonetheless, let's take a let's take a break think
at the Purple Rotch to my friends, that are affordable
the electric for all of your electrical needs. Affordable Dash Electric.
Tennebee's got some Norse notes for us.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
We'll take a look at those on the other side
of the break. Common Man program with Tennebee.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Here we all remember that one teacher who made a difference,
who believed in us, challenge us, or just made learning fun.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
A couple of thirteen.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Fourteen past Common Man program, I'm Comic he's tend to be.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I haven't heard that from this text messager.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Whoever said there has never been a rookie QB to
make a super Bowl of spreading fake news? How soon
we forget Dan Marino. Some fans need to get up
their high horse and get on Google s which I
responded to him, you might want to Google yourself as
you're getting off your high horse. Marino is not a rookie.
He was in a second year. He wanted he won.
I think he won Rookie of the Year in his
(18:24):
rookie year, but he did not quarterback Miami to the
Super Bowl and his rookie year, sorry was his second year.
Trust me on the National Football League genius. So yes,
no quarterback has ever been a rookie and quarterback just
team in the big game.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It's never happened.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
So it's kind of amazing that it happened.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Get up, well it is, but you know, there's only
been how many sixty big games and a lot see
I find I would find it astonishing if a rookie.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you know how much rookie strive?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, I get it. You even think it would happened
once in sixty years?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, I've kind of think the opposite on that.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But you know, we don't always agree, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But yeah, to me, we just disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, we just we just went have to disagree on
that one.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Also, j Jimcarthy's not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, that's true too. That's true too. You have some
Norse notes?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Do you want to do some Norse notes?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I think I actually made an open for this a
long time ago. We never actually did it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Well notes.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I have a bunch of Norse notes the Viking sent me.
I also have, you know, those would be more on
the positive side.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can try that open again, because that's that's very
it's it's quite what's the word I'm looking for. It's
very complicated. It's a complex open. Let's listen to it again.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Your notes?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Uh so I have a bunch given me from the Bikings.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You know those are you be on the positive sides
and we need to be the one negative one that
I found on social media. First, the Vikings have intercepted
three passes on defense so far. That's the lowest in
franchise history through nine games of a regular Ah, but
they're gonna intercept Caleb Williams three times this weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm sorry, go ahead, I shouldn't have done that, dave.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
By read it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
But Yeah, the Vikings have intercepted three passes on defense
so far. That's the lowest in franchise history through nine
games of a regular season.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, turnovers, big plays generally decide games. Yeah, that is
a negative. Note, there's no question about that.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You're ready for some positive yeah. Notes.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Minnesota and Chicago will face off for the one hundred
and thirtieth time in series history. The Vikings have won
eight of the last nine games in the matchup, including
of course, that twenty seven to twenty four winning Week
one at Soldier Field, which ties the third best record
by a team versus a divisional opponent over the last
five seasons. So that ties Kansas City against Las Vegas.
(21:00):
Nobody has done better against one opponent over the last
five seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Really, huh?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Obviously a head coach Kevin occonnell both a six to
one record versus the Bears since the beginning his tenure
in twenty twenty two. It's the third best mark among
active head coaches against a division opponent in their careers
minimum five games, and then the final notes. It's all
(21:29):
Harrison Smith related because Harry the Hitman is set to
play in his two hundredth career game the Sunday versus
the Bears. He will become the sixth player in team
history to reach two hundred career games at the franchise.
He will become just one of two players in NFL
history to play at least two hundred games for a
single team and have thirty seven plus interceptions and twenty
(21:50):
plus sacks. That's joining Hall of Fame safety Rendez Barber.
He will become just one of nine defensive backs in
NFL history to play at least two undred games with
a single team. Him and he is one of four
safeties and is the only active defensive back.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And there that's another episode of your notes. We need
to you know.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
How just before during spread Swing, we always played the
little spread Swing jingle.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We needed to do that for nor between every Norse notes.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Otherwise it's so short, you know, it's it's it will.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Make the open longer as well.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, you could, Yeah, you could add a little something
to it. I want to get your thoughts on this, Tennaby.
This this is fish Wrap Factory West Side. Andrew Kramer
writes Vikings for Fish Rap West. This came out at
seven point thirty last night, headline Justin Jefferson says he
(22:48):
needs to get back into savage mode for Vikings like
I can Deceie For Justin, Jefferson said he needs to
get quote back to my old self, specifically the year
twenty twenty two when he led the league with one
hundred and twenty eight catches eighteen hundred nine yards in
a gravity to find one headed grab in Buffalo was
(23:09):
a dub the catch of the year. On third anniversary
of the play, Jefferson posted a highlight of that fourth
down catch to his Insta story on Thysday, writing I
need to get back.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
To year three jets.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
At his Thursday news conference, he said mentally, just wanting
to get back into that mode.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I like to say, savage mode. Just going out there
and just killing it and not worrying about the plays,
not worrying about anything else I can't control, doing everything
I can control, and making the most of my opportunities.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I felt like I was on a different level. Just
try to work back into that. As we know, Tennebee,
there's not been much of a connection between McCarthy and Jefferson.
It says here the all pro receivers averaging seventy six
point two yards per game this season.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
His career low eighty seven point five came as a rookie, so.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He's below his career low that and that drops to
a fifty two yard average couple games, right, Well, that's
what I was about to get to, and that, Oh,
that's the reason I'm talking about this year, it says,
and that drops to fifty two yard average in the
four games with McCarthy. So when it was seventy six
point two, that was when Wentz was throwing the ball.
(24:31):
Jefferson's frustration showed, and last week's lost to the Ravens,
when he caught four to twelve targets for thirty seven yards,
he also dropped a possible twenty five yard tuddy on
one McCarthy's better throws of the afternoon. Coach Kevin O'Connell
said he has quote no concerns unquote with Jefferson a
team captain, when asked about his reaction to the interceptions.
(24:53):
I remember on the one interception he had downed up,
but the other one he didn't. When the one where
he got his legs tangled up and he just kind
of stood around let other people take it again.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
At the end of the world, there were plenty of
people there. Even if he had tackled them, it wouldn't
have so it resulted instead of a four yard return
on the pick, it would have been one. You know,
wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But O'Connell said there was some frustration and maybe with
not having a couple of calls go his way from
a referee standpoint, but that's all part of the game.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
He's so competitive. But I have no concerns with justin.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So then you know, some have thought, well, maybe some
of this has to do with you know, because we've
seen it. We know that the wide receiver position tend
to be probably creates more divas than any other position, right,
and we've seen it here in this town. It's happened here,
it happens everywhere. But Jefferson has said his frustration is
born out of losing. He wanted to clarify that it's
(25:48):
not you know, catching enough balls, you know, tuddies, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He says, I want to win. Emotionally, things get heated.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sometimes things weren't going our way in that moment, just
wanted a better outcome.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Of course, the.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Offense we have, I feel like we should be better
than we are. Then here's what this one says. Why
has he not felt the same on the field, you know,
feeling like Jets like he was back three years ago?
He says, life, just different things going on in my
life and just wanting to get back to the kid
phase of loving I still love football, but overly loving
(26:25):
football and overly loving.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Just being out there on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is that eyebrow raising it all that he feels like, yeah,
I love the game, but I don't overly love it
like I used to love it.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I got to get back to that. And if
you're not there, why is he not there?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
And do you think he was kind of just maybe
covering for himself there a little bit? You know that
maybe the frustration really is he's just not making the
impact he once did.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And it's you know, is it McCarthy is at the offense?
Is the competition they're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Plan Remember he's getting probably doubled most of the time, right,
I mean, I think teams have just decided until Addie
beats us or Hawkinson beats us or speedy beats us consistently.
We're not gonna let Justin Jefferson beat us. So the
idea of not loving the game or over loving it,
I mean, I again, I'm not I don't know. I
(27:18):
don't know if that's anything to be The coach says
there's nothing to be concerned about, and I don't expect
the coach to say anything different, particularly publicly.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I don't expect him as say, yeah, we're a bit concerned.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Doesn't seem like his head's in the game or seems
like he's distracted or life is getting in the way.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Do you am I reading anything in? Am I reading
too much into this? Baby? I don't even know if
I'm reading anything into it. I just wonder.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I mean, when he wasn't hustling after interceptions, right when
he was kind of given up on the play, there
were people I saw that were like surprise and said,
you know, because as you mentioned, most a lot of
wide receivers or divas, and up until this point we
have not seen a diva moment from Justin Jefferson, and
people were taken aback by that and might come back
(28:04):
to that would be was he had nothing to be
a diva about before, like he is, he has not
had to handle adversity on the field at all. Like
he's had constant success basically since he was putting to
the start in lineup, and he's been one of the
best football receivers in football. He's always had lots of
volume come his way. The yardage has been there, the
(28:25):
tuddies have been there. This is the first time now
where the stats have dropped considerably. And so is it
that he wasn't a diva before or is it just
maybe he's always a diva when he just doesn't have
things go his way and we just hadn't seen it yet.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
But the lack of hustle on the interceptions is a concern.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And even I know you didn't read the comments, and
I'm trying to paraphrase here. He kind of was asked
about the interceptions and kind of went on this rant
about people who don't know sports, and he was frustrated
and he didn't really like to me, you should come
out and say I made a mistake there. I shouldn't
have done that, I shouldn't have let down my team,
And he kind of excused saying I'm not I'm not
(29:08):
gonna be chasing down interceptions and like, well that's not
that's not the right thing. That's not what you should
be saying right now. So that part was more concerning.
And then the love of football. I think it's pretty
human nature, right, Like you and I are not one
like raring to go for every common program, all right,
Like we we both have stretches, huh right, I mean
(29:32):
we both have stretches, even whether that stretches a couple
of days, a couple of weeks, a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Years has been about about two years.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yet two year run here, two year run where you
know you kind of right, like go through the motions.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah, you're going through the motion.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
He said so much success and he got paid and
he got the big contract, and you know, I think
he's hiding behind the team winning thing. Now like I'm
only frustrated the winning I don't. I mean, I might
be part of your frustration. But this team, this team
has lost with Justin Jefferson before, so it can't just
be the winning portion of it. I do think his
stats going down because he he was a guy that
(30:10):
through a couple of years is being asked, is this
was the greatest wide receiver of ball time, like he's
on pace to be the great spider receivers. And now
it's the first realization that, oh, I have to work
for this. I have to keep going for this. I
can't just rest on my laurels. So I think that's
the moment he had this week. And now some of
that still might be out of his control a little
bit with the with the quarterback play.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I don't even know why I responded these incorrect emails
or text messages all the time. And one about you
know that you know a rookie quarterback has never Oh
Dann Marino did?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
How soon you forget get off your high horse.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
This one says Jets touched the guy and the interception
went down.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's why he didn't chase him. On one of them,
he did. The other one he did not touch him,
and he did not chase him. That's what we're doing.
There were two different interceptions.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
One of them he did touch him and he was
the defender was ruled down by contact.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The second time he did not. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Tenneby just talked about how Jefferson addressed it when he
was asked about it, and he tried to defend it
by saying, I'm not going to be chasing guys down.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
So that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So pay attention, watch the game, take notes like Mark Rosen.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Does, if it's that difficult for you, and whether he
likes it or not, when not only from a money standpoint,
but he's considered like a leader on this team. So
when the leadership on your team is letting down, having
bad body language, not giving it a one hundred percent,
that permeates through the entire team.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Several people are suggesting he's probably a little down in
the mouth because.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
His quarterback has not been very accurate. That could be yours.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah, and he can't say that, No.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
As a matter of fact, he's talked about how it's
funny to see the quote from him.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I don't know if it was in this story. Yeah
it was. He goes.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Jefferson said he takes it upon himself to motivate and
uplift from a car because of the negativity out there
in the world, the negativity the people that are criticizing McCarthy,
people that are bringing up stats like he has the
worst completion percentage of any quarterback in his first season
(32:17):
in Viking history.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Why are people bringing those things up? Stop being so negative.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Here's what he says, this is Jefferson, continue to have
that confidence and don't really overthink even though things are
not going the greatest for us and we're still figuring
out some things. Because he's a great player, he's a
great quarterback. He's a great kid. He calls him a kid.
They's find that funny because Jefferson can't be twenty four
years Oh, he's a great kid. At the end of
(32:44):
the day, it's about relying on everybody to go out
there and do their jobs.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I I by the way, the great kid's also a
little demeaning. Yeah, also like yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah for me, And I know he's not so obviously again,
he's not going to say he calls him a great
quarter he's not a great quarterback, not yet. He might
end up being there, but he's not, you know. But
I I I don't expect him to not say that.
So but yeah, so I saw the story, I saw
(33:12):
the quotes. I think it's just worth keeping an eye on.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Anyway. I'm certainly not.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I don't think I'm it's it's not like a five
alarm fire, but I I do think it's when when
you when when you're arguably the best player on your team.
I mean there are other guy you know, Ginks pretty good,
Grenard's pretty good, But you would say, if you were
picking your best player on this team, you would say
(33:41):
Justin Jefferson the best player on your team. Well, he
hasn't been this year, and that's not all due to him.
But when you're when you're so called best received best
player on the team is a little down in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That can be.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Concerning, especially when we've seen how that connection, I mean,
there was a great connection between Cousins.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Veteran quarterback could spin it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Jefferson was brilliant with with Cousins, pretty good with Sammy
Darnold too, right, again a veteran quarterback, but really certainly
not a rookie, but playing in his first ever really
good season. I mean Donald had not done in any way,
shape or form in his three years?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Was it three years? Was that Donald's fourth year? Last year?
Fourth or fifth? Whatever?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Was maybe six six seven? That was the best he'd
ever played, right, I mean he was. He was brilliant quarterback.
Whisper got in his ear, and it's more brilliant this year.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, and he's more. He's even more brilliant this year.
But so.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
By the way, uh JJ McCarthy im teen videos of
him at practice from Kevin Seafert still wearing the padding
on his throwing hand today, but was doing his normal
reps during the portion of practice. Opening the media, Seaffert
Selsa says, I did not see lnebacker Jonathan Gernard the shoulder.
Probably unlikely he will play Sunday. That's a that'll be
a tough hit.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Here's say that again. Likely he will play.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
No, likely he won't play. What Grenard? Oh Gernard, I
thought you said, McCarty. I moved on to oh, yeah,
okay Gernard.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, Dorothy's normal reps, right, Jonathan Gernard the shoulder injury.
Pretty unlikely he will It's pretty unlikely he will play Sunday.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That would be a big hit.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
He's been as good as anybody on defense for the
Vikings this year.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
This one says common.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
When asked about his body language, Jets had a common
about being an athlete and a competitor. YadA, YadA, We
get it, But think about this when Sauce hits the
stage before you at a comedy show.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And all you hear is quickes. Do you head for
the exit?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
No, you hit the stage and do your bit regardless
of what happens. That's a true competitor, and that is true.
Speaking of that, we've got shows line. We're going to
be at that. Oh remember I said it was the
American Legion.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
It's actually the Eagles Club in Rochester.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
That's difference.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Well, it is that there's a tennabee Eagles Club. We'll
be at the Eagles Club January thirty first. There's no
place to get tickets yet. That's coming soon. There are
no tickets on sale yet, but just mark that down
if you're in the Rochester area. Set aside January thirty
first for Flop, Sweat and Tears Larry Mondella Guy myself.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Block out the whole month just in case it changes.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And then it's February is it twenty third? We're going
to be in Cato, Give me the music, give it Timmy.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
February twenty first. So January thirty first at Rochester.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
At the Eagles Club and then February twenty first at
the legendary Cato Ballroom.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Those are the two shows that are in the books
right now. So just keep those in mind.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Let's do this, Let's take a break, and when we
come back, Lit'll be. I believe I did not see
her here earlier, but she's She's given no indication that
she will not join us at a regular schedule time.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Feminine Touch of the.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Program responded to a program passord on X So she'll
be here.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Very good. Lit'll be Feminine Touch of the Program. She
joins us next here on the fan
I still like nine, but Showtime's pretty cool too. I've
been on Showtime two different times. I did ring announcing
for cards at Target Center, and they needed a local.
I guess they didn't want to. They didn't want to
bring in Jimmy No, Jimmy Lennon Junior, Michael Buffer, because
(00:22):
those guys cost big bucks. I come cheap and Welcome
to show Time. This Showbox the New Generation. They had
to do it like ten times in the open. I
don't think they liked it. They brought me back a
second time, but I don't think they They particularly thought
(00:42):
I was very good at it, and I guess I'm
really not.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, Take eight, Try it again from the top.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Welcome to Showbox the New Generation. Okay, let's try it again.
Take nine. Take it from the top. And I did
it a couple I bet I did it six seven
times six seven and finally got it to uh at
least where they thought. I'm sure the guy was saying,
I don't think it's My guess is I couldn't hear
(01:12):
any of this. You know, they were probably talking in
the booth amongst themselves, but the guy probably said, I
don't think it's going to get any better than what
we've got from him right now.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It's just it's it's not there.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But be consistent and then we'll be consistent and go
hand in hand. Wow, there's so much to get to.
This is a big game for the Vikings. Obviously against
the Bears, we've beaten them once. We're four and five.
We can't afford another loss. You drop to four and six,
and then you figure ten, You know, you figure ten
to seven is probably gonna you have.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
To you have to.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, I don't think it can be any worse
than I suppose you could squeeze in as the final
wild card at nine to eight, but more, you know,
I again, we just don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We'll see how it all plays out.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But I got to think you got to be almost
ten seven, And if we got five losses already, Tim,
that doesn't attend to me.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That doesn't leave a.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Lot of margin for error. So we'll certainly talk a
lot of Vikings. Then the other big time football program
in town, the Minnesota Golden Golfers, have another Friday night game.
Are they again instead of the Golden Gophers? Are they
the sacrificial Lambs are taking on? I'm not sure where
Oregon is ranked their top ten. They won the Big
Ten last year. They're one of the best teams in
(02:26):
college football. That game is tonight. The Wild are back
in action. The Wolves are back in action.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The Frost are they back in action?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh no yet, there's season uncertain? And then what about
Oregon is ranked eighth.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
ESPN polls, So there's plenty to get to today. I'm
not sure where to begin. Let's spin wheel the top
of Waning for the last time, because now there's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not as much going on. Something time shift foot and
find it out on my own commons golf. Oh, that's surprising.
What'd you see it today? Seventy nine? We play? I
press my no, I'm sorry, it's all logger's trail. Where'd
you hit it?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
On?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
One?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Right?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
The gout?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
How far from the green?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I had a pitching wedge in my hand. Second shot,
I hit a beautiful pitching wedge that hit just in
front of the green.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You need to hit in front of the greens early
in the morning this time of year, because.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Let's just say, the greens are a little lively right
then because of the cold.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Tempts well, it popped on the green.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I had thirty five feet and hit a beautiful thirty
five foot life. But I again was putting so beautifully today,
though I did miss two critical putts. I missed an
eight footer for birdie on eleven, and then I missed
a bogie putt on seventeen for about five feet. Otherwise
I hit some twelve footers, some six footers, eight footers,
making all sorts of wonderful putts all day. I just
(03:51):
can't seem to, you know, finish out the round with
an exclamation mark. I mean, I stand, I'm I'm on
over through seven, and then I get sloppy, just like
I did the other day at Loggers. I went bogey bogey,
So I shoot thirty nine. Then I part ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
bogie fifteen, and I was lucky to make bogey. I
(04:12):
didn't hit one good shot except for the uh the.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Ten foot bogie putt.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Sixteen.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I made a remarkable par I hit a great drive,
just a terrible hybrid. I either hit a great hybrid
or a bad hybrid.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I've got one fifty three into the green and I
fly it blind shot from down below, goes into that
collectionary on the right, and it's a front right pin,
and I decide to putt from down in that collection area.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm like forty five.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Feet most of it going uphill, and I said, I'm
just gonna because I don't. It's a tricky little pitch.
It's just a delicate pitch. And I figured the putt
was better. And what I do when I have difficult shots,
I just go up and hit him. And I did,
and I lagged it up to foot and a half
two feet and made it so and.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Then I doubled seventeen. I had one.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Ninety to the flag par three, and I pulled the
hybrid into that left green side.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And it's it's a middle pin, but there really is
no middle part of the green.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
On seventeen at Loggers, He's got the front tongue in
the back tongue and it's kind of so it's a
couple of steps from the middle out of that back
and I hit just an awful sandshot. I shank it
out of the bunker. It skips across the green lands
and the rough.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Then I hit up.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I kind of thinned up a sand wedge, but I
thought it was going in. It rolled right over the
edge of the cup. Then I missed a five footer
and then I bowg eat eighteen. So now you play
the first sixteen and four over the last two and three,
and that's how he gets a seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But I'm feeling I think things are good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'll wrap up the year tomorrow at pressback at Wedgewood
and Woodbury, and then we'll move on.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
With the rest of our lives. Would you like me
to go over it again? Tennaby did a?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Did I cover it enough? Ghost town here at sixteen
hundred Judica Avenue. There's nobody here. The only people that
were here were you and me, Amy James, Greg Sweatberg
was here in rich Davis. That's it. Oh, an engineering guy,
that's it. No one else here, So it's a ghost town.
(06:20):
But Lit'll be I think is going to be here?
She not?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
She wasn't in her office. Is she expected to be here?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
As far as I know, I don't remember her?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So Lit'll be feminine Touch will join us at one
o'clock and then we have a special program password for you.
The very mild mannered, low key almost like he's under
the influence of some type of narcotic downer of some
sort of Tommy Olsen and then high high energy Helvy.

So that will be our program password and we'll do
a little to dis dat and a lat other side

Affordable electric, Minnesota's trusted electricians, Affordable dash eelectric dot com, Affordable.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Dash Electric dot com. And remember, affordable electric is what
you guessed it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
O ho ho ho whoaw ho, it's shockingly affordable. There
was a here's a sober and statistic tend Toby and
I didn't come up with this.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
This was sent.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
This is one of Paul's intercepted text messages. This one
came in at nine forty one twenty four this morning.
That says, there's never been a first year QB whin
this Super Bowl. There's never been a first year QB
that has made it all the way to the Super Bowl.
Anyone thinking McCarthy will be the first to do so
(09:49):
as completely delusional. What a negativity out there towards JJ
McCarthy and the Minnesota vikings is just astonishing to me.
I mean, you know what I think it is. I
think it's bandwagon, I really do. Guys are laying it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
On the line.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, but you know, you know my response to that
would be tennaby it's there there.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
There there's an old saying it just made up. There's
the first time for everything. So maybe this is the year.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Uh they better get started though you know, I know
you you played Urgent, you could have also played right now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Bye bye uh by u van.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Halen because they got to get this thing turned around
right now.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Vikings and the Bears play It's it's a street fight.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You're gonna get ready for a street fight. You best
start getting right now.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
This was it was pinned.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That means, yeah, it's actually starred on on the text
message thing. But this was from yesterday afternoon, three thirty
eight thirty one during Big Ticket show. Can you ask
(11:10):
Sean who was Sewan?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Do you think.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Sean Salisbury because he has Salisbury y Yeah, yeah, so
he's talking to Berry says, Can you ask Sean if
he would agree that we need to get JJ out
of the pocket and moving around in the bootleg style.
He is an athletic kid, and I feel like against
the Ravens there were a few opportunities that he could
have capitalized on with his legs and did not do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We needed to establish him as a running threat if
we are not going to establish the running thread with
a running back, and I think that would ultimately open
up his ability to get the ball downfield and keep
the defensive backs on their toes when he has the
ball in his hand, and that's you know, on paper,
that sounds good, that's all wonderful in a real world,
but sometimes it's a bit more difficult than that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I think.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Plus, the guy's kind of brittle. I mean, missed his
entire first season because of a knee injury. Then he
was five weeks because of an ankle injury. Now he's
got a bruise hand where he's got to wrap on it,
and he said that's probably gonna be like this all
year long. So I mean, yeah, you can get the
guy running around, but every time he's you know, I
(12:15):
even I tweeted this during.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
One of the Vikings games. I don't recall.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't think you're actually probably less likely to take
a lot of these quarterback injuries are actually in the
pocket right when they're just standing there and someone's going
into their knees.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Something.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
You get him out in the open, doesn't mean he's
running every time. Justly, they probably should have done it
when his offensive line is more beat up.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I tweeted during one of.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
The Vikings games, something that fat to remember. The exact
tweet was like, does somebody else and I remember how
I said it, but you actually cringe or close your
eyes when he starts running around because he has been
to this point injury prone. Now it could just be
bad luck, right, that happens sometimes just you get hit
(13:01):
wrong and it really has nothing to do with me
a injury pro and you just skew, just get hit wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But he's in his short career.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
He missed an entire season with a knee injury, he missed,
he missed five games because of a sprained ankle, and
now he's not missed anything from the hand yet.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
But I will see if that that hampers him at all.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So yeah, I mean it's always good to have it,
you know, for a quarterback to be able to run,
but you do bring.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Danger in that way too. I would just.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Say, provide a clean pocket for him. I get the
offensive line that we spent all that money on. I
remember we went and now the center is is is
it Ryan?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What is he back now? Because didn't he.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Was practicing, was practicing. I don't know if he's playing well.
We don't think he's practice window has opened up.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Okay, practice windows open up.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
So as far as I know this will be the
second week though, that we will have had.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Four fifths of our.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Offensive line that we had expected to have at the
beginning of the season. Right Darris left tackle, one Alet
right tackle, Jackson at left.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Guard, and Fries at right guard. And then.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Brandell, if you'll remember, he was ushered in to the
starting center position, not by design, by circumstance.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
We had no center, they needed a center. He'd never
played the.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Position before, and by all accounts, at least from what
I've heard from those that understand the game, especially the
offensive line a little bit better than I do, that
he's done a nice job.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So this first game was really good. Yeah, I think
the second game was not good. Right now, I haven't
really heard much since, so I think he's been okay,
So I think he's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So and again, it's pretty there are There are not
many teams that have five really great guys on the line.
Maybe Philadelphia does, Detroit did for a while, but they're
kind of beat up now as well. But some team,
most teams, there's going to be of your five starting linemen,
the two guards, the two tackles, in the center, there's
always somebody that probably at least one of the guys
(15:32):
leaves a little bit to be desired, but we'll see.
You know, the Bears. I, you know, I tend to
you know, A couple of people have chided me for
you know, I, you know, me tend to be I
like pardon upon poking the bear, and not necessarily the bear,
but the listener. And so I've been kind of extolling
the virtues of the Bears. I haven't beaten anybody yet.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, you're right, but you can only beat who's in
front of you.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And there's still when they're six and three, Sorry, they're
tied for first. You could look at all the teams
in the league and say, who have they beaten? The
Vikings have beaten The only quality club that they've beaten,
I would say would.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Be Detroit, Right, who else have they beaten? Bears?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
If you think the Bears are overrated, then you have
to dismiss the Vikings game as getting by by the skin.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Of their teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
If you think the Bears are overrated, then that Viking
went over the Bears isn't that big of a deal.
And then they lost to the Browns and the Bengals,
And those are two teams that Burrow didn't play.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Those are two pretty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Bad teams, and then he lost to the Ravens, who
you know, they're no shame to that because they are.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Playing a lot better now and they've got their quarterback back.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But nonetheless, let's take a let's take a break think
at the Purple Rotch to my friends, that are affordable
the electric for all of your electrical needs. Affordable Dash Electric.
Tennebee's got some Norse notes for us.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
We'll take a look at those on the other side
of the break. Common Man program with Tennebee.
Speaker 3 (16:59):

Speaker 2 (17:50):
A couple of thirteen.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Fourteen past Common Man program, I'm Comic he's tend to be.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I haven't heard that from this text messager.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Whoever said there has never been a rookie QB to
make a super Bowl of spreading fake news? How soon
we forget Dan Marino. Some fans need to get up
their high horse and get on Google s which I
responded to him, you might want to Google yourself as
you're getting off your high horse. Marino is not a rookie.
He was in a second year. He wanted he won.
I think he won Rookie of the Year in his
(18:24):
rookie year, but he did not quarterback Miami to the
Super Bowl and his rookie year, sorry was his second year.
Trust me on the National Football League genius. So yes,
no quarterback has ever been a rookie and quarterback just
team in the big game.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It's never happened.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
So it's kind of amazing that it happened.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Get up, well it is, but you know, there's only
been how many sixty big games and a lot see
I find I would find it astonishing if a rookie.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you know how much rookie strive?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, I get it. You even think it would happened
once in sixty years?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, I've kind of think the opposite on that.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
But you know, we don't always agree, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But yeah, to me, we just disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, we just we just went have to disagree on
that one.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Also, j Jimcarthy's not a rookie.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, that's true too. That's true too. You have some
Norse notes?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Do you want to do some Norse notes?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I think I actually made an open for this a
long time ago. We never actually did it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Well notes.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I have a bunch of Norse notes the Viking sent me.
I also have, you know, those would be more on
the positive side.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can try that open again, because that's that's very
it's it's quite what's the word I'm looking for. It's
very complicated. It's a complex open. Let's listen to it again.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Your notes?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Uh so I have a bunch given me from the Bikings.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You know those are you be on the positive sides
and we need to be the one negative one that
I found on social media. First, the Vikings have intercepted
three passes on defense so far. That's the lowest in
franchise history through nine games of a regular Ah, but
they're gonna intercept Caleb Williams three times this weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm sorry, go ahead, I shouldn't have done that, dave.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
By read it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
But Yeah, the Vikings have intercepted three passes on defense
so far. That's the lowest in franchise history through nine
games of a regular season.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, turnovers, big plays generally decide games. Yeah, that is
a negative. Note, there's no question about that.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You're ready for some positive yeah. Notes.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Minnesota and Chicago will face off for the one hundred
and thirtieth time in series history. The Vikings have won
eight of the last nine games in the matchup, including
of course, that twenty seven to twenty four winning Week
one at Soldier Field, which ties the third best record
by a team versus a divisional opponent over the last
five seasons. So that ties Kansas City against Las Vegas.
(21:00):
Nobody has done better against one opponent over the last
five seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Really, huh?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Obviously a head coach Kevin occonnell both a six to
one record versus the Bears since the beginning his tenure
in twenty twenty two. It's the third best mark among
active head coaches against a division opponent in their careers
minimum five games, and then the final notes. It's all
(21:29):
Harrison Smith related because Harry the Hitman is set to
play in his two hundredth career game the Sunday versus
the Bears. He will become the sixth player in team
history to reach two hundred career games at the franchise.
He will become just one of two players in NFL
history to play at least two hundred games for a
single team and have thirty seven plus interceptions and twenty
(21:50):
plus sacks. That's joining Hall of Fame safety Rendez Barber.
He will become just one of nine defensive backs in
NFL history to play at least two undred games with
a single team. Him and he is one of four
safeties and is the only active defensive back.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And there that's another episode of your notes. We need
to you know.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
How just before during spread Swing, we always played the
little spread Swing jingle.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We needed to do that for nor between every Norse notes.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Otherwise it's so short, you know, it's it's it will.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Make the open longer as well.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, you could, Yeah, you could add a little something
to it. I want to get your thoughts on this, Tennaby.
This this is fish Wrap Factory West Side. Andrew Kramer
writes Vikings for Fish Rap West. This came out at
seven point thirty last night, headline Justin Jefferson says he
(22:48):
needs to get back into savage mode for Vikings like
I can Deceie For Justin, Jefferson said he needs to
get quote back to my old self, specifically the year
twenty twenty two when he led the league with one
hundred and twenty eight catches eighteen hundred nine yards in
a gravity to find one headed grab in Buffalo was
(23:09):
a dub the catch of the year. On third anniversary
of the play, Jefferson posted a highlight of that fourth
down catch to his Insta story on Thysday, writing I
need to get back.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
To year three jets.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
At his Thursday news conference, he said mentally, just wanting
to get back into that mode.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I like to say, savage mode. Just going out there
and just killing it and not worrying about the plays,
not worrying about anything else I can't control, doing everything
I can control, and making the most of my opportunities.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I felt like I was on a different level. Just
try to work back into that. As we know, Tennebee,
there's not been much of a connection between McCarthy and Jefferson.
It says here the all pro receivers averaging seventy six
point two yards per game this season.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
His career low eighty seven point five came as a rookie, so.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He's below his career low that and that drops to
a fifty two yard average couple games, right, Well, that's
what I was about to get to, and that, Oh,
that's the reason I'm talking about this year, it says,
and that drops to fifty two yard average in the
four games with McCarthy. So when it was seventy six
point two, that was when Wentz was throwing the ball.
(24:31):
Jefferson's frustration showed, and last week's lost to the Ravens,
when he caught four to twelve targets for thirty seven yards,
he also dropped a possible twenty five yard tuddy on
one McCarthy's better throws of the afternoon. Coach Kevin O'Connell
said he has quote no concerns unquote with Jefferson a
team captain, when asked about his reaction to the interceptions.
(24:53):
I remember on the one interception he had downed up,
but the other one he didn't. When the one where
he got his legs tangled up and he just kind
of stood around let other people take it again.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
At the end of the world, there were plenty of
people there. Even if he had tackled them, it wouldn't
have so it resulted instead of a four yard return
on the pick, it would have been one. You know,
wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But O'Connell said there was some frustration and maybe with
not having a couple of calls go his way from
a referee standpoint, but that's all part of the game.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
He's so competitive. But I have no concerns with justin.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So then you know, some have thought, well, maybe some
of this has to do with you know, because we've
seen it. We know that the wide receiver position tend
to be probably creates more divas than any other position, right,
and we've seen it here in this town. It's happened here,
it happens everywhere. But Jefferson has said his frustration is
born out of losing. He wanted to clarify that it's
(25:48):
not you know, catching enough balls, you know, tuddies, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
He says, I want to win. Emotionally, things get heated.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sometimes things weren't going our way in that moment, just
wanted a better outcome.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Of course, the.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Offense we have, I feel like we should be better
than we are. Then here's what this one says. Why
has he not felt the same on the field, you know,
feeling like Jets like he was back three years ago?
He says, life, just different things going on in my
life and just wanting to get back to the kid
phase of loving I still love football, but overly loving
(26:25):
football and overly loving.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Just being out there on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is that eyebrow raising it all that he feels like, yeah,
I love the game, but I don't overly love it
like I used to love it.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I got to get back to that. And if
you're not there, why is he not there?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
And do you think he was kind of just maybe
covering for himself there a little bit? You know that
maybe the frustration really is he's just not making the
impact he once did.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And it's you know, is it McCarthy is at the offense?
Is the competition they're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Plan Remember he's getting probably doubled most of the time, right,
I mean, I think teams have just decided until Addie
beats us or Hawkinson beats us or speedy beats us consistently.
We're not gonna let Justin Jefferson beat us. So the
idea of not loving the game or over loving it,
I mean, I again, I'm not I don't know. I
(27:18):
don't know if that's anything to be The coach says
there's nothing to be concerned about, and I don't expect
the coach to say anything different, particularly publicly.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I don't expect him as say, yeah, we're a bit concerned.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Doesn't seem like his head's in the game or seems
like he's distracted or life is getting in the way.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Do you am I reading anything in? Am I reading
too much into this? Baby? I don't even know if
I'm reading anything into it. I just wonder.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I mean, when he wasn't hustling after interceptions, right when
he was kind of given up on the play, there
were people I saw that were like surprise and said,
you know, because as you mentioned, most a lot of
wide receivers or divas, and up until this point we
have not seen a diva moment from Justin Jefferson, and
people were taken aback by that and might come back
(28:04):
to that would be was he had nothing to be
a diva about before, like he is, he has not
had to handle adversity on the field at all. Like
he's had constant success basically since he was putting to
the start in lineup, and he's been one of the
best football receivers in football. He's always had lots of
volume come his way. The yardage has been there, the
(28:25):
tuddies have been there. This is the first time now
where the stats have dropped considerably. And so is it
that he wasn't a diva before or is it just
maybe he's always a diva when he just doesn't have
things go his way and we just hadn't seen it yet.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
But the lack of hustle on the interceptions is a concern.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And even I know you didn't read the comments, and
I'm trying to paraphrase here. He kind of was asked
about the interceptions and kind of went on this rant
about people who don't know sports, and he was frustrated
and he didn't really like to me, you should come
out and say I made a mistake there. I shouldn't
have done that, I shouldn't have let down my team,
And he kind of excused saying I'm not I'm not
(29:08):
gonna be chasing down interceptions and like, well that's not
that's not the right thing. That's not what you should
be saying right now. So that part was more concerning.
And then the love of football. I think it's pretty
human nature, right, Like you and I are not one
like raring to go for every common program, all right,
Like we we both have stretches, huh right, I mean
(29:32):
we both have stretches, even whether that stretches a couple
of days, a couple of weeks, a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Years has been about about two years.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yet two year run here, two year run where you
know you kind of right, like go through the motions.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah, you're going through the motion.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
He said so much success and he got paid and
he got the big contract, and you know, I think
he's hiding behind the team winning thing. Now like I'm
only frustrated the winning I don't. I mean, I might
be part of your frustration. But this team, this team
has lost with Justin Jefferson before, so it can't just
be the winning portion of it. I do think his
stats going down because he he was a guy that
(30:10):
through a couple of years is being asked, is this
was the greatest wide receiver of ball time, like he's
on pace to be the great spider receivers. And now
it's the first realization that, oh, I have to work
for this. I have to keep going for this. I
can't just rest on my laurels. So I think that's
the moment he had this week. And now some of
that still might be out of his control a little
bit with the with the quarterback play.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I don't even know why I responded these incorrect emails
or text messages all the time. And one about you
know that you know a rookie quarterback has never Oh
Dann Marino did?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
How soon you forget get off your high horse.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
This one says Jets touched the guy and the interception
went down.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's why he didn't chase him. On one of them,
he did. The other one he did not touch him,
and he did not chase him. That's what we're doing.
There were two different interceptions.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
One of them he did touch him and he was
the defender was ruled down by contact.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The second time he did not. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Tenneby just talked about how Jefferson addressed it when he
was asked about it, and he tried to defend it
by saying, I'm not going to be chasing guys down.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
So that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So pay attention, watch the game, take notes like Mark Rosen.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Does, if it's that difficult for you, and whether he
likes it or not, when not only from a money standpoint,
but he's considered like a leader on this team. So
when the leadership on your team is letting down, having
bad body language, not giving it a one hundred percent,
that permeates through the entire team.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Several people are suggesting he's probably a little down in
the mouth because.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
His quarterback has not been very accurate. That could be yours.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah, and he can't say that, No.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
As a matter of fact, he's talked about how it's
funny to see the quote from him.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I don't know if it was in this story. Yeah
it was. He goes.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Jefferson said he takes it upon himself to motivate and
uplift from a car because of the negativity out there
in the world, the negativity the people that are criticizing McCarthy,
people that are bringing up stats like he has the
worst completion percentage of any quarterback in his first season
(32:17):
in Viking history.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Why are people bringing those things up? Stop being so negative.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Here's what he says, this is Jefferson, continue to have
that confidence and don't really overthink even though things are
not going the greatest for us and we're still figuring
out some things. Because he's a great player, he's a
great quarterback. He's a great kid. He calls him a kid.
They's find that funny because Jefferson can't be twenty four
years Oh, he's a great kid. At the end of
(32:44):
the day, it's about relying on everybody to go out
there and do their jobs.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I I by the way, the great kid's also a
little demeaning. Yeah, also like yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah for me, And I know he's not so obviously again,
he's not going to say he calls him a great
quarter he's not a great quarterback, not yet. He might
end up being there, but he's not, you know. But
I I I don't expect him to not say that.
So but yeah, so I saw the story, I saw
(33:12):
the quotes. I think it's just worth keeping an eye on.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Anyway. I'm certainly not.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I don't think I'm it's it's not like a five
alarm fire, but I I do think it's when when
you when when you're arguably the best player on your team.
I mean there are other guy you know, Ginks pretty good,
Grenard's pretty good, But you would say, if you were
picking your best player on this team, you would say
(33:41):
Justin Jefferson the best player on your team. Well, he
hasn't been this year, and that's not all due to him.
But when you're when you're so called best received best
player on the team is a little down in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That can be.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Concerning, especially when we've seen how that connection, I mean,
there was a great connection between Cousins.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Veteran quarterback could spin it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Jefferson was brilliant with with Cousins, pretty good with Sammy
Darnold too, right, again a veteran quarterback, but really certainly
not a rookie, but playing in his first ever really
good season. I mean Donald had not done in any way,
shape or form in his three years?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Was it three years? Was that Donald's fourth year? Last year?
Fourth or fifth? Whatever?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Was maybe six six seven? That was the best he'd
ever played, right, I mean he was. He was brilliant quarterback.
Whisper got in his ear, and it's more brilliant this year.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, and he's more. He's even more brilliant this year.
But so.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
By the way, uh JJ McCarthy im teen videos of
him at practice from Kevin Seafert still wearing the padding
on his throwing hand today, but was doing his normal
reps during the portion of practice. Opening the media, Seaffert
Selsa says, I did not see lnebacker Jonathan Gernard the shoulder.
Probably unlikely he will play Sunday. That's a that'll be
a tough hit.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Here's say that again. Likely he will play.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
No, likely he won't play. What Grenard? Oh Gernard, I
thought you said, McCarty. I moved on to oh, yeah,
okay Gernard.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, Dorothy's normal reps, right, Jonathan Gernard the shoulder injury.
Pretty unlikely he will It's pretty unlikely he will play Sunday.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That would be a big hit.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
He's been as good as anybody on defense for the
Vikings this year.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
This one says common.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
When asked about his body language, Jets had a common
about being an athlete and a competitor. YadA, YadA, We
get it, But think about this when Sauce hits the
stage before you at a comedy show.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And all you hear is quickes. Do you head for
the exit?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
No, you hit the stage and do your bit regardless
of what happens. That's a true competitor, and that is true.
Speaking of that, we've got shows line. We're going to
be at that. Oh remember I said it was the
American Legion.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
It's actually the Eagles Club in Rochester.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
That's difference.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Well, it is that there's a tennabee Eagles Club. We'll
be at the Eagles Club January thirty first. There's no
place to get tickets yet. That's coming soon. There are
no tickets on sale yet, but just mark that down
if you're in the Rochester area. Set aside January thirty
first for Flop, Sweat and Tears Larry Mondella Guy myself.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Block out the whole month just in case it changes.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And then it's February is it twenty third? We're going
to be in Cato, Give me the music, give it Timmy.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
February twenty first. So January thirty first at Rochester.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
At the Eagles Club and then February twenty first at
the legendary Cato Ballroom.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Those are the two shows that are in the books
right now. So just keep those in mind.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
