be awesome. But this is like the point I'm at
in my life is I love when I'm at us
Bank Stadium. It's awesome, the production value, everything's just amazing.
But I don't want to miss those other games Sunday.
This Sunday, I don't care. The only one that matters

(02:53):
on Sunday during the day is Atlanta and New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Three? Right? I think so, depending on what happens in
the you know, the Bucks Panthers game. So yeah, man, yeah,
Jason waist Man twenty twenty six though doesn't seem like
a real number, I know.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Is there anything sadder than that first Sunday after football.

New Year's Day, this didn't make any waves. But here's
justin Jefferson on whether JJ mack got to be your
quarterback next year.

Speaker 9 (04:51):
That's not my job. Of course, I would love for
him to be here. Of course, I would love for
him to be the quarterback, especially off of this year.
I feel like he needs to show everybody and prove
to everybody that he is that top tier quarterback. So
I would love to have him, and I love to
work with him and show everybody he is that number
one guy. But I feel like it starts in the
off season. Starts that off season working building that connection,

(05:13):
eliminating those habits that he had that we felt that
hinded him throughout the season.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I like that.

Speaker 9 (05:21):
That's come my job. Of course, I would love for
him to be here. Of course, I would love for
him to be the quarterback, especially off of this year.
I feel like he needs to show everybody, improve to
everybody that he is that top tier quarterback. So I
would love to have him and I love to work
with him and show everybody he is that number one guy.
But I feel like it starts in the off season.
Starts that off season working building that connection, eliminating those

(05:44):
habits that he had that we felt that hinded him
throughout the season.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Bunch of people, I probably won't watch it, but a

Speaker 8 (11:51):
All right, yep, yeah, there was My daughter and I

kiddo was trying like crazy too. Got oh, there was
there was a lot of tea. I did see.

The vine or whatever you want to call it, whatever
the hell you call it where they're putting books back
on a shelf. Yeah, and that's the one where everyboy's
crying and people are like, they're crying because it's over.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Their childhood's over. That's over. Tell me hard, he's out
of controls. A meeting needs to be It would be
a heath cry. I'm sure, no doubt. First he needs
to be put down.

No, and that's true too. Yeah, good for you, guys man.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And did you like it? Corey?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Though where you I thought it was a solid It
was absolutely solid. The end, even though it made a
lot of good points, the end felt a little bit
like the end of Lord of the Rings, where it's like,
just get on the goddamn boat, Frotto, like, there was
a little.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Bit of that.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
After the big eleven Vecna battle, there was about another
hour and I'm like, there's an hour left, what.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Else do we have left?

Speaker 4 (12:59):
So it felt a little stretched out at the end.
But look, that's a small complaint.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
It's gross. Was it weird? When Rosie appeared and said
that hadn't happened to me yet? He goes what it
doesn't happened to be?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
If Vecna would be willing to show up to his
birthday party, he would name drop him. Ye, right this way,
John criesil this is the entire Purple People leaders. They're
all in the Vikings Ring of fame. And this is
my friend Vecna. You may have seen him on Netflix.
The rest of the guys, these are the famous people
over here if.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
You wondered if we if we were going to turn
over a new leader.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's been made abundantly absolutely broad. Actually, wasn't that your
New Year's resolution, corps? Yeah, lasted? What about thirty six hours? Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 4 (13:49):

said eliminated. I think it's a cut back.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'm ripping. Yeah, Rose, I'm going to cut back in
twenty six What I didn't say eliminate, just cut back.
He's a lot. I know for sure he's tired of it. Well,

Speaker 6 (15:21):
I'll tell you what though, fifty five is how old
I am now? And I can tell because I didn't
get home to about two and I thought I was
going to die all day. I had a workout schedule
and I got to the place and I told my trainer,
I'm like, you know what, you may just have to
take me out back and shoot me. I don't think
I'm gonna make it through this man being up till two.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I did two, three, I was up till one and
it was very very hard. Yeah, very hard. And we're over.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
We do our annual fire dinner. Chloe loves too and
all that great. It's so fun until Switzerland, right, what's
that we might be going this year? Really yes, yes,
and I just realized what you meant by the joke.
I've unplugged from the I normally watched the four o'clock news,

(16:12):
five o'clock and the ten o'clock just in case anything changed. Yeah,
I've been unplugged from anything not football related.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
And then I did see that there was a fire there.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Historic? Like, what do you call this thing ski shlle
or whatever you call it?

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yea, yeah, yeah, And it's one of those things like
do you remember we got here the morning after the
Great White situation and there was video and you saw
the fire start.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's the same with this thing.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
There's actual video of the candle catching the roof on fire. Yeah,
and it's starting and it I mean forty people died.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, it says one hundred and fifteen injured. Yeah, you
were saying, wow. Sivin Kara liked.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
To get their teeth in the glass early, and so
my wife and I just held them hostage. They were
spending the night, and so like once it was passed
me night, we're like we're not we're not going to
bed yet, and they're like, okay, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
And have you played the jack box game on super.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
Fun has been fun for twenty years. Yes, and we
subscribe now through the fire stick. You can do it
instead of messing with the old PlayStation I have. But
the perverted one is awful because it tries too hard. Yeah,
whereas like we're sick anyway, So the normal one is perverted.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Which games do you like the most? The Fiage is
probably fantastic, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, and it's that one, and then the Murder Tvia
one exactly m But it's just awesome, awesome. The four
of us don't know each other so well, we know
who wrote what. Yeah, it's always a stick figure.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
With a huge penis.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
That's brilliant and a smiley face because you got a
giant African American man.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I may have seen that from you a few rose.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
You'll be salivating when you see its buzz's.

Speaker 2 (18:14):

I love it. Whoever told you that God blessed them?
You want to do sports when we get back, sure,
I'd love to, ye, MARTI should be here in a second.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah. College football was outstanding, nothing but upsets except for Indiana,
and that's an upset.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
The college football.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Playoffs, the last couple of years, all the teams that
have a bye get their ass kicked except for Indiana.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
Every win Indiana has is an upset in my mind.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
They are there. That's Indiana.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
They just absolutely obliterated Alabama, kick the crap out of it.
When even when Kirk Herbstreet says this is embarrassing, he's
talking about Alabama, that's next level.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
It seems like I said a text message, if you
have a mystery, it's like somebody's old a sould of
the devil, Like what is happening is impossible.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's Indiana. Who's your football? What their asses? They were
great and they do yeah, ye it wasn't. They're clearly
the better team.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
The athletes are better, they're more disciplined, they're perfect.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
They're a great football team. They're gonna be tough to beat.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
They got Oregon know in the semis Oregon obviously is
very very good.

little and so now seeing him not just play hockey
at a high level, but elite, damn, something makes me
feel old.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yes, it makes me feel very old.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
But yeah, no, I'm telling you, when when you stand
out at this tournament, you're you're announcing to the NHL
that that you deserve a shot.

Speaker 9 (22:50):

Speaker 11 (24:38):
How are you happy New York fellows as well?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
I'm great.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Thanks, good to see you.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Hey, so we got your Christmas card. We threw sauces
away of course because is a bit. Yeah, I noticed
on your card it says marn. We call you Marn's
with an S. Your your name's Marny. On the card
it just went marn.

Speaker 10 (24:59):
Just may are in?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, are we missing something? There is marn the preferred
name here?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
What are we doing?

Speaker 11 (25:08):
There's an Yeah, that is a newer version my family,
like cousins mom, I don't know, they've they have called
me Marn for a long time.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
And I did stuff for that.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Cousin's mom's and aunt right, yes, yeah.

Speaker 11 (25:28):
Specifically and it just went on the Christmas card.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
One year and suck. Yeah, right, just wondering that guys
got a card, questioning Paul this year. Threw it away.
Oh we didn't get one, Yeah you did, you didn't.
It's been a joke around the house. Yeah, thrown it
away anyway.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
I didn't know if something happened that we need to
discuss no shock, you would have been first on what
about us?

Speaker 2 (25:57):
I'm sorry, I mean that, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
The big surprise in our house was that Nikki found
out that Marnie's last.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Name is Gaelner. She was a little stupefied when it
got returned.

Speaker 11 (26:16):
Well, I mean, it is my maiden name, so it's
not like it's a stage name and I made it up.
But yes, she sent me a message. She was mortified
and I'm like, I get male. That says Gelner quite often,
so it's it is nothing that she should be feeling
bad about it.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
As a matter of fact, when you said to me.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Here, did you get a Christmas car? Did you notice anything?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (26:40):
Your family looked good.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
I didn't.

Speaker 11 (26:42):
Did not even dawn on me that that's what you
were talking about.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, we got returned to us. What's your iron maiden name?
That's wrong, Zema. I knew the family drink, but he
saw us. Yeah, man, you do it, man, damn it.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Last night.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
We learned Coy, parents of your gophers, is entering the transfer.
Cat blame him. You can't be mad at him, No,
you can't. Probably gotta make some money and he's gonna
go win.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
I mean, how tough would be to sit on your
couch watching these games knowing there's a ninety you'll be
sitting on your couch watching these games next.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Year ninety nine point nine.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
Yeah, made that made that, you know, like no offense
to the old Huskies too, But like Tolly and I
joke around about that, like if the nil was around,
you know, no offense. We're we're gonna go to money.
We're gonna chase the money. You don't these kids that
there's no guaranteeing any of them are gonna turn pro
no matter how highly touted they are, how highly drafted

(27:47):
they are. At some point it gets down to this
might be their only chance to make this kind of money.
And I do not blame them one bit to either
chase the money and or a championship, just like we
pros do what or both or both?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah or both? Man, I don't blame him at all.
I'll do it one the same thing. Go Huskies, anybody else? Okay?

Speaker 7 (28:10):
The Vikings Packers on Sunday in the final game of
the season. The Packers are locked in at the seventh seed,
so they will start Clayton Tune at quarterback.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
It's the tune squad.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
The Vikings are seven and a half point favorites at
game time. Is new in pregame at ten? Yikes, swoop
that ass.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
It'll be fun.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
I'm excited. It's our last time together this year.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Saucy.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
You never know who's gonna get cut, right, Yeah, I
enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be great. Here's Justin Jefferson on his future.

Speaker 9 (28:45):
He's definitely a legend.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
He's definitely Wait on, that's not right on, Harrison Smith.
He's definitely a legend.

Speaker 9 (28:50):
He's definitely a Hall of Famer. So to be with him,
to have my locker right next to him for all
of these years, for us to have that connection and
growing connection over the years been crazy, you know, to
see these last couple of years of his career. Hopefully
is not the end. Hopefully he comes back with this,
but you know, if not, I mean just what he
has done for this organization, what he has done for

(29:11):
the players that come in and out of here. He's
a great guy, he's a great player. I'm glad to
have role with him these last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's special.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
Hey again, like you can go a whole career without
playing with a Hall of Famer. Those are those are
special moments throughout a career as that.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Jesus, it's Perry Well. And if if they keep going
to go to the game now games at five, Mark Rosie,
I'm gonna go home and taken them.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
If the Vikings keep Kwaisy at GM, then really most
of the team is not going to play with the
Hall of Famer. Moving Twlars next, Justin Jefferson, who is
not drafted by Quays so.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Man turned on. Oh, he's not wrong, he's not wrong.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
I'm an optimist about everything except Minnesota sports.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
This unit.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Oh he's one of my favorite bits you do is
you say you have a Vikings tattoo, and sometimes you
wish that arm had been blown off, and.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
You said.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
You have it. Is well my first marriage and the Vikings.
Oh god, but I left the team I do. I
wouldn't rip them if I didn't care. Yeah, yeah, that's great.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
On New Year's Eve, Miami beat Ohio State twenty four
to fourteen to advance to the College Football Semi Finals.
They will battle Old miss who beat Georgia thirty nine
to thirty four. That game will be next Thursday at
six thirty.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Anybody watch that game.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
I watched most of the first half, and I watched
part of the town.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You know, it was dumb. How did they get a
safe them?

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Yeah, they got a safety because yeah, you know, you
have to watch the entire sequence. Okay, but after the
game winning field goal, there's a kickoff, there's a safety.
The game's over. They start wheeling things out on the field.
The referees put clock and put time back on the clock.
They wheel the stuff back off the field, they run
another the play, they do it again, and then finally

(31:12):
the game ends. After that, it was the weirdest thing.
Like even the people in the booth were like.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
What the hell is going on?

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Nobody knows what's going on. But that was a great
game up until that moment. That was by far the
best game of the college football playoffs so far.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
Is it true that the as you said earlier, record,
the only team with a buye ever to win in
the college football playoff is Indiana?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
That's true, right, because I think last year they were
zering four. Yeah, this year they think one in three. Yep, Yep,
that is correct. Nuts, It's insane, Ohio, forget Texas, Tech
for a second. Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia are all losers.
Yeah right, that's just just so foreign those teams. It's
those those three sound like they should.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
All be in the final. Yeah, it's not mathematically possible,
but it sounds like it should be.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
This video the reference and onto the field and he's like, nice,
big trophy, go beat it. And there's Rosie said, it
hasn't happened to him. Oh, Rose, you're gonna do it twice.
They put time back back twice twice.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
On the air off the or a bull. Don't worry
about it, baby. That the game finish.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Oregon blank, Texas Tech twenty three nothing. They will face
number one Hogs Daddy Squad Indiana, who boat raced Bama
three eight to three. They will battle each other a
week from today in the Peach Bowl at six thirty
week from today.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I think if this game had been two weeks ago,
Calin de Boor might be in Michigan. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I mean, I think you're correct, yeap, because I think
Alabama fans have been like enough, it's enough, get get lost.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Do you think he gets fired? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
I stopped carrying halfway. You my sentence. You know what
I mean, like I lost interest in my own take.
Well that's said, No it's not realistic. Yeah, good about it.

Speaker 7 (33:00):
Thanks the Wild, Zacho and Perry battle the Ducks tonight
at nine to thirty.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
You can hear that game on the fan.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
Hold on before you start, hold on, well, I got
to hit this because I forgot last time and night.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I feel bad. We'll do that.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
It's time for the Hockey Minute with Mark Parrish, brought
to you by our.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Friends at Saint Plant State University.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
Go Huskies. Yes, the Minnesota Wild. They continue to roll.
Whether they're on the longest road trip that some of
these guys will ever be on in their career or not.
This is a very comfortable, a very confident hockey team.
And that was before the addition to Quinn Hughes and not.
Confidence is just skyrocketed. Uh yeah, the San Jose, the
little that's a better team. Oh well, they're losing the

(33:40):
shootouts and they come back here against Stanahe I'm still
enjoying that sun. Let me tell you you enjoy the
West Coast swings this.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Time of year.

Speaker 8 (33:49):
Uh, and get back on track, Just get back to
State playing their hockey. Goaltending, defense, their structure, their form,
their play. That's what makes them successful. Is very sound
defensive team. But they have got some offensive players now
to light it up.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
Him up.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
So at the Ducks, then at the King Saturday and Monday,
then at Seattle next Thursday, the Wild to finally come
home against Parrish's Islanders a week from tomorrow, on Saturday
the tenth.

Speaker 8 (34:18):
And and and and and oddly enough, I will be
working that game for the Islanders a trader.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Wow, what does it? What time does this start? Zach? Brilliant?

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Just stay at the X tonight. Yeah, just don't go anywhere,
just stay just camp out for a week, work at
that game, like radio, TV, what tv ms? You put
them things out, buddy. I will wear something nice and
tight for you. That's the way I encourage people.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I took that.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
I was, I was.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
It lifted my spirits. Marns, I don't know. That's my
go team. It's uplifting. Well yeah that's what he wants.
I don't mind if they're not uplifted. How do you
like your women? Hawk breathing healthy.

Speaker 12 (35:12):
Let's face it, most guys are from the dark ages,
stree cave men, and they like a woman to be
showing her cleavage and to be wearing eight inch heels
and to be wearing see through underpants. But for me,
a woman looks best when she is just absolutely naked.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
You could not agree more. Yeah, Vikings News is next.
This is the Power Morning Joe on the Then, ladies
and gentlemen, good morning to you. Here we are.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
It's seven, and it is Friday, and we are all here,
and we're all live, and we're all back together.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
It's not just that.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
It's not just that Marty's here and there here. It's
not just that that the three of us are back together.
Zacho's over their side. It's also Bell Bank bringing you
Tom Pellisero on a special edition Friday Morning.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Hi Tom, how about that?

Speaker 1 (36:20):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Guys? Look at you?

Speaker 6 (36:23):
Look at you?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
There is you? Yeah, you must have got a tan
for Christmas or something. You look great. I don't see
them suggested the lighting a little bit in here. I
like it great. It looks good.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
You look like Uncle Fester. I do I look like
Uncle Fester?

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Bright? Isn't it powder on the top there? Yeah? You
don't see the need to take anything back before we
move on here. That's sad. That's what makes me feel bad.
I'm just being honest. I'll turn my lights down.

Speaker 11 (36:48):
It looked great at fifty four Hawks, but fifty.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Five, that's that's much better. The light always sitting in
the dark. Great. Well, that's actually kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
It looks like a streamers room, right, that's like how
they that's like on twitch exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The earth is flat and there's ladies with huge boobs. Wow,
you would it's a conspiracy. Conspiracy's going to stop listening
to Randy, but the ladies aren't. Now they're zooming in
on you there, Chris and Tom. I don't know, why
do you bring it out of me? It's my fault. Oh,

(37:25):
now it looks like I have a weird thing. Chris
would never be a flat right on football? Go Tom.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
The Green Bay Packers have absolutely nothing to play for.
The Vikings really don't either. Who's going to start at
quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. It looked like JJ was
a full participant in practice yesterday, But what's the indication?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
J J.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Bean full means he's taking all the first team reps.
So I'm fully anticipating that he'll get another opportunity against
the Packers team that he and the Vikings did not
play well offensively against a couple of months ago, Lambellfield,
which is kind of the last gasp of the Vikings
trying to save their playoff hopes. You've seen them play recently,
I mean, they aren't playing better. There's a you know
scenario where they're you know, ultimately gonna end up being

(38:07):
the third place team in the division, a chance to
finish strong. You know, if you go back through it,
and you're talking about at the end of the season
is disappointing as it's been. You beat the Packers on Sunday,
and again it's it's gonna be the JV. They're gonna
be starting a guy named Clayton Tune at quarterback. They're
gonna hold out any of their other key players you
know that are even remotely beat up. But as disappoint

(38:28):
as the season was, you swept the Lions, you split
with the Bears and could have won the second game
against them. You beat the Packers, You're four and two
in the division. You're you know right around the you know,
you're above the five hundred mark again. You know, it's
not like that's going to wipe away everything. Else that
happened this season, but at minimum, given all the challenges
the Vikings had given, all the injuries, all the back
and forth with the quarterback situation, you said there nine

(38:50):
and eight. It's a credit to the coaching staff that's
that's max this thing out, and the fact that you
know that locker room sometimes, I mean, look around the league.
You see some teams that are you know, been in
kan kun and their minds for a month already. The
Vikings are still, you know, playing hard and coming to
play even when they, you know, on paper, have nothing
to play for.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Hey, hey, tom By, it's okay for a few or
like eight people. How you got this? Now you're okay,
Tom What would.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
You say the percent chances JJ McCarthy is the starting quarterback.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
For the Vikings next season, Well, I think that you're
going into the off season, you know, saw so there's
no doubt that the construction of the quarterback room will
be a focus in the off season. I mean, i'd say,
right now, just in my head you asked me that question,
I'd say fifty to fifty. You know, you certainly can
see a scenario where they go okay when JJ has
been on the field when he's been able to stack games.

(39:41):
You know, there have been times where we've seen him
play really well. There's the other side of this, which
is JJ to this point in his young NFL career
has not been able to stay healthy and be on
the field. So you know that, you know, bringing in
a veteran quarterback like they do with Carson Wentz after
the cutdown deadline and having no reps, you know, probably
was not the not the way to So one way
or another, I fully anticipate the Vikings are going to

(40:02):
be exploring all options at the quarterback position. But there
is enough there with JJ. I mean, they still like
the guy. They like the process and ability pre snap,
they like the instincts, you know, the mechanics obviously is
it's an adventure every week and there's things that he's
got to smooth out in that you'd like to see
him just be able to again stay healthy. I mean

(40:22):
he suffered what four injuries now if you count the
meniscus tear, the high ankle spraying, and the concussion and
the broken hand. I mean that's four significant injuries. And
you know he started basically half a season in the NFL.
There's guys who get out of that injury phase. There's
guys who don't. Whether you want to compare it to
Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis or even what's happening right now

(40:42):
in Atlanta with Michael Pennix Junior, where all of a sudden,
you know, again back and forth, injured, back in, back out.
Now all of a sudden you're you're playing better with
Kirk Cousins down the stretch. That doesn't mean that you've
given up on what your evaluation was with the quarterback.
But you know the difference was the Vikings didn't have
a Kirk Cousin sitting there, albeit is they weren't going
to pay a backup quarterback twenty seven million like the
Falcons are this year. They're going to have to, you know,

(41:04):
address the construction of the room. But well, that surprised
me at all. If JJ is the quarterback. I just
think that you're talking about a far more global view
of this than we're probably thinking narrowly right now about
where the room stands.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I saw Saucy's your hand up. I'm sorry, okay, cool,
Well it's because your lights are off because Tom doesn't
want to see you.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
I can't say I blame him even hasn't been on
your mind for a whim. I actually think it looks
kind of good in there, though, do you. Yeah, it
looks it looks cool.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
You cannot see me at all. It looks perfect. Hold on,
he's over there. I see his hand there. Sorry there,
we're getting out there. Yah hi Marco. Anyway, yeah, Tom
pelis there again, brought to you our friends at Bell Bank.
And by the way, as we are live from the
Bell Bank studios.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Now, how about that. I mean they're moving on out
to the.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
East side here, so as we look towards what's going
to happen on Sunday, not only with our game, Let's
talk about everything that's happening Saturday that sets up the player.
I mean, we do have games that really do matter
this weekend, and that's exciting going into the final week
of the season.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Tom, no doubt you got a weird situation in the
NFC Salves, one that I didn't even entirely realize. I
think because every permutation of the playoff scenarios we'd seen
going in till last week was like, well, the Falcons
aren't going to beat the Rams, and then they did,
and they beat them soundly in the first half. So
now you know, the first game on Saturday, you've got
the Bucks against the Panthers. Even if the Bucks win,

(42:27):
if the Falcons beat the Saints, the Bucks are out
and the Panthers would you know, classic back into the
playoffs at eight and nine. So the Bucks that have
to win that game on Saturday and then hope that
they get a Saints win on Sunday in order to
win the division. Panthers have been you know, an up
and down team through the course of the season. They've
basically gotten, you know, win lost through the whole second

(42:47):
second half of the year. When they've played well, I mean,
they've got some really good wins. I mean, they beat
the Rams at home, but they've also had some really
you know, they beat the Packers in Lambeau, but they've
also had some really bad losses, including getting swept by
the Saints. The Bucks the rare team that it seems
like the healthier they've gotten, the worst they've played this season.
Baker's a little bit beat up, but he's gonna go
this week. That'll be an interesting one. And then Saturday night.

(43:09):
I mean, this is deja vu for Sam Donald, literally
the same scenario as a year ago, which is primetime game.
You're either going to be the number one seed if
you win, or you're a wild card and going on
the road if you lose. You know, Donald probably exercised
at least some of those demons with the comeback win
over the Rams, although that required some extreme circumstances to

(43:31):
pull that off. They're going against the San Francisco team
that you know, it's it's amazing that they are in
that position given all the injuries that they've had. In fact,
they haven't had Nick Bosa basically the entire season. Fred
Warner has been out for a long time. All their
receivers have been banged up. They didn't have Rock Party
for almost half the season. Party right now is playing
at the you know, the highest level. He's already. You know,

(43:53):
people underestimate brock Purty constantly. If you got to look
at him statistically, he might be the most efficient quarterback
in NFL history.

Speaker 7 (43:59):
That's how.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Passer rating, highest passer rating of anybody in NFL history
he is.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
That can't be right, because I must be hearing you incorrectly.
I believe you.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Look it up. I think he's got like a one
five or something passer rating unbelievable and watch him play
it like watched Tail last week.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
There's a reason we're doing this.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Meets us hates Brock Purdy hated him from the day
he took this first snap till right now. Correct and
every time he does anything bad, if he had slipped
on a banana peece.

Speaker 11 (44:34):
He sucks.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
He makes last week, I mean that is my police
askuecrambling out to his left, whirling dervish comes back. I mean,
you know he's dancing, he's he's having fun.

Speaker 8 (44:46):
It was.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
It was interesting back in the early part of the season.
People were like, oh man, look at Mac Jones. They
should just keep Mac Jones. I'm like, I think people
just don't get how good Brock Purty is. Kyle Shannan,
He's a perfect fit for the scheme. Kyle's one with
guys like Kirk Cousins and Matt Job. He doesn't need,
you know, Jimmy Garoppolo, he doesn't need like the big arm,
physical guy. Just see it, rip it and Brock plays

(45:06):
with that additional playmaking ability. They're they're dangerous, you know,
whether they're a wild card going on the road and
playing that NFC South team or whether the forty nine
ers end up puting the division and getting the buy.
With all their injuries, they are still very dangerous in January.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
Now, Tom, is it true that Fred Warner has a
chance of returning at some point in the playoffs if
they advance far enough.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Yeah, amazingly, cruisially, he does have a chance. It's probably
like NFC Championship game if he gets there. I mean,
he had a dislocated and fractured ankle like it was
a major. It was a major injury. But he's ahead
of time in his rehab. You know, that'd be huge
for the forty nine ers to get him back again.
They're dealing with all kinds of challenges. One reason you're
gonna hear Robert Sala, the former Jets coach his name

(45:47):
and head coaching searches again this year is it's like,
look who he's playing with. I mean it literally just
a bunch of like rookies and dudes are calling up
off the practice squad as pass rushers and they're finding
ways right now to win games. I think that this
is this is such a fun year. I know it's
not for Vikings fans because there are teams not in it.
But like if you just like football, I have no
idea who is going to win the Super Bowl. I

(46:09):
don't even know who the team is that you say
is like, well that's the team to beat. I mean
the Chiefs aren't in, the Lions aren't in. The Bills
are a wild card and might be the seven seed.
Your number one seeds might be the Broncos, and hear
the Seahawks or the forty nine ers. I mean, it
is a completely wild year. And if you look at
all the wildcard teams, Man, those games I think are

(46:32):
going to be really fascinating, depending how the matchups end up,
You've got, you know, scenarios where and I don't get
deep into the odds, but I could certainly see all
the wildcard teams going on the road and the majority
of them being favorites in the first round.

Speaker 6 (46:45):
Again, Tom Pellisara, we've got obviously, I'd love to at
least keep you during the playoffs. We're going to talk
about that. Hopefully that happens. But there's so many non
playoff questions I have for you as well. We don't
have time to get into now, But is there ever
going to be a good football team in New York again.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
It is it over for real? I mean both those
team this are terrible. Are the Chiefs done?

Speaker 6 (47:03):
Or do you see them being able to reset one
more time for Patrick Mahomes in this career. I guess
that last one. You can answer that quickly. Do you
think it's over for the Chiefs or do you think
they can reset?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
They've reset once they reset after they lost to the
Bengals NFC Championship game several years ago. Traded Tyreek Hill,
got assets, rebuilt the defense, rebuilt the offensive line. They
probably need to be big and bold again. We'll see
what happens with Travis Kelsey. When you're in a window
like they are with Patrick Mahomes and you've already put
some some Lovardi trophies in the case, like you have
to go for it every year, and so I think

(47:33):
they're going to be very aggressive, you know, whether that
is the spending and free agency, whether that is trades,
whether maybe taking some of those other parts and looking about,
you know, potentially getting draft assets like they did with Tyreek.
It's a really interesting offseason in Kansas City. Somebody pointed
this out to me too, and Andy Reid, you know,
confirmed what we had reported a couple of weeks ago,
he's going to be back. Andy's never had an offseason.

(47:55):
Think about being one of the oldest coaches in the
NFL and every year you get one month less because
you're always in the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes has never
had an actual offseason because they've gone to the AFC
Championship Game at least every year since Mahomes has been there.
So finally, you know Mahomes, who placed your stuff every year,
he'll get a chance to rest up. Maybe Andy can actually,

(48:15):
you know it, go et to cheeseburger in Hawaii instead
of in his office through every night in the month
of January.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Here.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
Never rule out the Chiefs. It did not come together
and it was staggering this year, but I fully anticipate
based on how aggressive they've been in the past, it'll
be the same type off season.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
In casey I like one more thing real quick, I'll
make a quick I promise the NFC North finished exactly
the opposite that I thought it was going to, or
it looks like it probably will.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
With the Lions being last. I thought they'd be first.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
I thought we'd be second, on and on and on
the same question for the Lions, though, after what we
saw happen this year and how big a deficiency there
is on that team losing those coordinators, is it over
for them or can they reset?

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Well, then they were in kind of a reset this year.
There's a lot of the same parts for you, right.
Losing Ben Johnson Aaron Glenn was a big deal for him.
Dan Campbell took over play call duties for John Morton
during the season. That probably points you to an inevitable
offensive coordinator shift. I think that's gonna be a real
key hire if that's how it goes for Dan Campbell.
There's a bunch of guys that Dan's worked with in
the past. He of course came up under Sean Payton

(49:13):
in New Orleans, you know, worked in Miami. There's a
lot of crossover. I think that if indeed they do
hire a new OC, whether Dan's calling it or not,
he's got to nail that higher. They've still got a
ton of talent on that team. They got a lot
of young guys. They have paid a lot of those
young guys, and so your margin for error in terms
of going out and spending those extra dollars in free agency,
that's closed a little bit here. But you know, I'm

(49:34):
certainly in no way writing off the Lions all the
injuries they had. They're center retiring right before training camp.
The offensive line was beat up the entire season. They're
a physical group that didn't always play with that same
violence we've seen from the Lions in the past. I
mean no doubt in my mind that Dan Campbell will
have a right role, but there's also no question they've
got to do some some retooling, and it probably starts

(49:54):
with the offensive staff.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Thank you, Tom bangs Tom.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Again?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Other bye there he goes all day.

Speaker 6 (50:04):
Rips me though about how I.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Look at That's why I could listen to him.

Speaker 9 (50:07):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
You're used to being ripped?

Speaker 6 (50:10):
You like to see other people get hurt.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
And yeah, you know you And look at how tan
he looks. And I know I like this. Lights are
you watching us?

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Do?

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Comrade? I'm a good looking man in the dark. You
guys are glowing in the dark.

Speaker 11 (50:26):
We put a filter on these cameras at all, like
a Snapchat filter just here and there.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
What do you want?

Speaker 6 (50:32):
God, you're so used to using Snapchat, Well they do it.

Speaker 11 (50:35):
During timeouts at Wolves games and Links games. They put
people on the you've seen it. Then when you make
eye contact or open your mouth or whatever, the signal
is yeah yeah, boom you're an old lady or your
face is stretched.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I think it would just you know, it doesn't need
to be We don't even need to.

Speaker 11 (50:53):
Know when it's happening, right, and the watchers at home would.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Be that would be right, tickled, tickled, wacky, wackyck.

Speaker 7 (51:05):
Tickled.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
That's the same thing, because.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
We look like Zacho. Can can these cameras do that?

Speaker 8 (51:11):
No?

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And the dark cris is even crazier.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
I know that's because when it gets dark, I get wacky.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yeah yeah, your circadian rhythm is thrown off. Come back
to me, Zach.

Speaker 9 (51:26):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (51:29):
But if you wake up in the middle of the
night and you look to the side of your bed,
marns and this is what you see.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Wakes could have had that experience if you had shared
a room with him in Fargo. All Right, sports in
a second, probably who knows, maybe we've done a lot
of sports today, and then.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Initials in like fifteen minutes. This is the powers you
wonn't you on the man
