would you say that, because it's a.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Group project in these two. I'm lucky enough that these
know that the Hall of Fame wouldn't know that, they
wouldn't know that we do all the work and you
do not. You were like the City Pages like us.
Immediately they knew it was over. They knew it was over.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
Why they exclude you because they don't want to They
don't want it or die.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah. Yeah, And the words of Jeremy Colhane as Tucker Carlson,
I believe City Pages the guy who ran it or
the gal who ran it. The second he was named
sports talk show host of the year, I think somebody said,
what are we doing yea year and they said that
we just named him best sports talk radio host. And

(07:01):
they said, what are you doing? That guy? Shut it down?
That guy can't even pay attention when they're talking. Shut
it down. Yeah, they closed up. Shot they did they
get all the people that worked at City Pages for decades. Yeah,
and good people. Yeah, and uh, that was the official
end of journalism. That was the end. It was over.

(07:22):
It's like your guy on SmartLess Sean Yeah, Sewn Hayes.
Yeah was he was named that. It was a couple
of years ago, this last year's podcast something or other Best.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Interviewers podcast Host or something like that. I mean nothing,
like there's no way, like you don't you don't listen
to the podcast then to give him the award.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But they gave it to Sauce. He got a nice
little gift basket. I didn't get I don't think I
did well, maybe because they shut down before they handed
out the baskets like commons wanted multiple times and he
got like a huge gift bas No, that's okay. I
didn't win it. No idea why I want the size
of the gift basket that matters. I don't know why
I won it. This should be I am honored, but

(07:59):
like it, I mean they aren't because they were now
gone alonger in existence. Yeah, because you killed them. Yeah,
there you go, you killed it.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Hustler gave me a Reader of the Year award.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
Your dad loved Hustler.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh that was too tame. I was Hustler too tape
for his dad.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, your dad a Jugs magazine was beyond Hustler.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Oh man, I mean we all know that there's levels.
It was like Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler. Was there a fourth level?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Penhouse and Hustler win the same category? Yeah, because Playboy
was the was the like you're just a normal guy.
Anything beyond that was like, Oh, this guy's hustler. Dad
in every neighborhood was We've talked about this so many times.
When you realize that one of your buddy's dad was
like a like a fringe magazine guy, You're like, oh, man,

(08:52):
so and so was dad's into some weird stuff but
also like magazine.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
Yeah, guys think last year that uh magazines, please all
the ones that are you know.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Not suck.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, Hustlers showed everything.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Was there?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Though?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Was there a fourth one? And I and I disagree.
I think I think Hustler was worse than Penhals, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Definitely was.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I would agree those were the big three though of
the yes, right, like, those are the ones that everybody
could name if everything else after that, I was pretty
pretty niche. I think those are the big ones, No
pun intended. Wasn't there one called Cherry? Yeah? Sure, soft Launch?

(09:37):
Was there another one wasn't I don't know, because to
be honest, none of my friend's dad's had that one. Yeah,
but wasn't there one called Cherry?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
There certainly was.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I don't know why I was looking at Corey. I
don't know why.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, I know there was, Yeah, there were, there was
some that were bothered. I'm sure sure.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm not gonna name names because who knows if they're
show listening. But one of my friend's dads had had
his entire collection in his downstairs basement right like the basement,
the basement bathroom, I should say basement bathroom. And let's
just say he had about forty magazines in like the
drawer right next to the toilet, which is also weird.

(10:25):
It's like anybody could accidentally open that up looking for
extra toilet paper. It wasn't hidden yet well at all.
It looked like a pile of it looked like the
pile of money that the Joker burns in Dark Knight,
right like it was stacked again, no pun intended, but
let's just say thirty forty magazines, not even close to

(10:48):
a playboy, right like, he wasn't mess no playboy anywhere
near that man's one was called choke Hold. I mean, yeah,
so that was that was an introduction of geez, what
is what's going on here?

Speaker 5 (11:03):
When did Dwight Hockey move into the neighbor?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Right? That was aggressive?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, there were some aggressive ones.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, there was a.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Beaver hunt your dad definitely game.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, that's what they wanted you to think. That's a
terrible name. Do I had the special code?

Speaker 5 (11:22):
How did your dad have that magazine?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Maybe there was a terrible name. There was a screw.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
That's a terrible name. Swang that's a terrible name.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
On our backs.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's a terrible name at all these Asian fever. That's
a terrible name. I actually I really am. But again,
you go back, go back, let's just say mid nineties, right,
mid nineteen nineties. If you want to, you go to

(11:56):
you go to Playboy, and it was like, here's a
quote tasteful photo shoot of a eighties celebrity that still
wants to stay in the public light. So oh, we
got some eighties pop star to do a tasteful milk
like the lady and then she's thinking of either Delta Burger,
Della Reese that but like so you'd be like, oh,

(12:22):
Tiffany remember Tiffany from a Oh think we're alone now, like,
oh Tiffany did a tasteful nude. Then you go to
one of like my buddies Dad's magazine and it's like,
oh Tiffany from the VFW just let it all go,
Like it just didn't matter, Like there was there was
no we're even remote celebrity in the other It was
just that was just it was lot lissards. It was everything.

(12:45):
It was you pull over at a rest stop and go, hey,
do you want to do a quick photo shoot. We
need thirty pages for Cherry magazine that Dwight.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Hockey wants his current edition of Cherry.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Man, you look hungret, would you like twenty dollars.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And the front cover of Swank? Yeah? Yeah, man?

Speaker 6 (13:04):
J didlay did Playboy invent the idea of a centerfold?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (13:08):
That was the It has never been done before, right,
young kids even know what that means. I mean, I
think that he really uses the word centerfold anymore.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Though, no, No times are different, man, being a centerfold
was a huge deal, a huge deal.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
There was Gallery, a monthly adult publication featuring pictorials and
investigative journalism. There was Genesis, known for featuring high quality
photography and amateur pictorials. There was swank Along running magazine
featuring various erotic niches in pictorials.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Back to you just said, you just said your dad
had Do you think Dwight was into art sy nudes?
Are you nuts? He was in the full frontal light. Yeah, yeah,
he wanted to he wanted did he Do you think
he cared about the lighting? No, it was come on, man.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
I thought he was a science teacher, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Dwight wants to have to guess if it's an autopsy
twighty Yeah, God, Dwight sweat. I think Dwight wants to say,
all right, which end am I looking at here? That's

(14:29):
how graphic he wants it to be. Is this Asian fever?
And pictures from a little bit anyhow? Yeah? This is man.
This is old man yelling at the clouds. But the
kids just don't understand. They have round the clock access

(14:49):
and I can't imagine what that does to your brain
when it's just like it's just there, Yeah, twenty four
hours a day, let's see what's going on here? Well, okay,
but man, back in the day, it was truly the
you know, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
It was. If you got a peek, it was unbelievas
like what yeah, correct, Especially again as a kid, that
was like, this is what we're gonna grief to get
to grow up and experience. This is what happens later. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
You guys remember as a teenager going to the news
stand at the gas station or something and you're like, no,
just look at the Field and Stream over here wrote
a great Yeah, yeah, Triple T wrote a great article here,
and then you're just like trying to see through, trying.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
To act like you're not looking for the black top shelf.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
You got the black cover and the black plastic on.
You're trying to see through for whatever. They're not putting
anything sallacious on the front cover, but you like just trying.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
To look through it.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
By the way, Field and Stream Dwight also had that one. Yeah,
you loved that one.

Speaker 2 (15:48):

thank you.

Speaker 5 (15:55):

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Brilliant. Blackout cover was also one of how do we
get the Saints to have Newdy magazine day like Billy Madison? Yeah, man,
times were different, Yeah they were. I would argue that
was better innocent, I think so, I truly do you know,

(16:17):
in a super strange way, I think it was better
for dudes as well, I really do. Yeah, I think
it's I think it's way more destructive the way that
they have it now tomorrow super kids, that their brains
are still developing. I can't imagine that level of exposure
round the clock, Like that's that. I don't know. Now

(16:37):
it's feeling too real, But it just feels destructive.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Remember when it was like crazy cool to get a
like a little Debbie snack cake? Right now you get
them all the time for free. Why do you want
them anymore? Yea, I still want them?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah? Well do I like a little bit more? Here's
death loved large, big old Debbie.

year old Chris with a cell phone? Oh my god,

right arm would be jacked. He would slowly turn from
Smiegel to Gollum, and the iPhone would be his precious you.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
It definitely is. Congrats with the New York Knicks. Yeah, Vanaheim,
it's time for They were dogs five on the Power Trip.
They were dogs to start the series. The Spurs are
the favorites. And then they just won four out of
five against the Spurs. No big deal. What did they
lose three games total?

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, two of the Hawks and then in one of
the Spurs, one of the Spurs.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, how about that?

Speaker 5 (19:30):
As Hawk mentioned, they are your champs after beating the
Spurs ninety four to ninety in Game five.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
How do they lose two to the Hawks. Let's go
back and right you know what I'm saying. Geez, the
Hawks got them talk.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
And they looked terrible against the Hawks, Like when they
were down to one, it looked like.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
It was over.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
They were down two to one.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
I'm pretty sure they were down yeah yah, and then
they were thirteen straight.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Right now, the Spurs beat him.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
The last time they lost before the one against the
Spurs was NFL Draft Night one.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's how long the playoffs are. Hawk.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Trust me, Jalen Brunson was your series MVP and for
you Hawk, because I know your NBA fix is needed.
The NBA Draft is one week from tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I know that, honey.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
The Washington Wizards have the number one pick. Yeah, they're bonds.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
They might be the one of the worst franchises in
all of sports throughout my life, like any of the
major sports, the Washington Wizards are definitely up there as
one of the worst.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
I'm not kidding. I didn't know that they're still a team.
I thought they had moved or something.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
They've been irrelevant for years and years and years.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
The Wolves pick twenty eighth Hawks, so you're gonna have
to wait a long time on draft night.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Are we going to be doing like a broadcast and
breaking it down stuff?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Are you going to be live?

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah? I will be on my stream.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Pick all right, Sauce poker face. If we give Sauce
sixty seconds. I want to see if anybody thinks he
can do this. The last eight NBA champs have been
eight different teams. We have not had his same team
win in the last eight years. Can he name all

(21:11):
eight without making a mistake? And can he do it
in under sixty seconds? No chance without making a mistake? Yeah? No, wrong? Yes?
Is all eight champs? The last eight without making a mistake?
Ben Yes? Or no? No, there's no way you can't
do it?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Really, okay, Chris is no Max.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
I would say if you gave him some wiggle room,
but I actually I am going to say yes because
they kept putting this graphic up on Sports Center a lot.
And I know my dog, Saucy like Sports Center, So
I'm going to say, yach yes or no?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
No? Okay, no, alright, so Sauce sleep, Sauce. You have
sixty seconds. Okay, this match game music is a minute
in fifteen, so we're going to count down in ten seconds.
You will have sixty seconds. You got to name all
eight previous NBA champs they have not repeated in eight years.
Eight individual teams you ready? Yeah? Three? Two? One go

City YEP five. Three to go, Well, the Lakers won

(22:23):
in twenty twenty. Sure two left, um.

Speaker 2 (22:27):

can get a lot done in thirty two seconds. Let's
see your Milwaukee, Milwaukee in twenty twenty one. One to
go in twenty two seconds, go Doug fifteen seconds the
heat twenty twenty three. The Denver Nuggets. Oh yeah, Denver.

(22:53):
I should have thought of that. Yeah. The last eight
in reverse order, the Knicks, Thunder, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors, Bucks, Lakers,
and Raptors. So eight different teams in the last eight years.
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
That is really good, especially before that it was just
the Lawyers and the Cavaliers for like half a decade.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah. Correct, Wilson, I can't tell yeah, just tell me.
There's a chance for the Wolves, right, absolutely.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, man, I think they can win it. They just
got to make some moves. They got to get rid
of Randall, they need a point guard and uh maybe
honest who.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Knows, Dante was probably so fat over the week. Yeah, yeah,
the only one, the only one of the noble the kids. Yeah,
very sad.

he's the oldest.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Winner of that record. Zacho, Yeah, congrats.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
Is the Minnesotans on the roster a fellow Minnetaka skipper
there Sauce Candred Miller, Jackson Blake out of Eden Prairie
as well won and Mikey Riley of course former Gopher
Hurricanes went sixteen and three as well along with the Knicks.
So two really just powerhouse Playhoff runs in the NBA

(24:31):
and NHL and Kaines just took control of that series.
After kind of messing around a bit after the first
four games, they came back and they just just suffocated
the Golden Knights. There's no room at all to work
with for Vegas last night and a well earned Stanley Cup.
Jackson Blake just phenomenal. And of course, can't forget Bussy

(24:53):
coming in what.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
We gotta dump that magazine Hawks.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
I've tried to forget it, but I can't quit.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Talked your MIC's off. What was the size of that bussy?

Speaker 7 (25:05):
Would you say, okay, oh blay, Yeah, he came in
and uh and and helped helped seal the deal there.
But uh, the first person who got the cup after
the captain their Stall.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Who did he hand it off to? Who did he
hand it off to?

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I could be wrong, and you correct me if I'm wrong?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, I will.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I believe it was the boozy.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
French cousin your mi. I forgot about that game. Yeah,
you mentioned. Jordan Stall is the oldest everyone the cons Mike,
He's thirty seven years old. He also set a different
record longest gap between Stanley Cup titles, gaps and boosies
and everything. How many years was it since he won

(25:51):
his first Cup? It is the now longest gap in
NHL history from one Cup to another, twenty three years
years nineteen, Zach. Do you know this? Yeah, go for
it twenty You do not know this? Uh? He won

(26:11):
a Cup with Pittsburgh in two thousand and nine. So
the seventeen year gap is the largest in NHL history.
The previous was sixteen years by Chris Chellios. Wow man,
Jordan Staal, good deal, pretty cool an old family. Yeah,
that's a record. A million goals? Yeah, good for finals goals.

(26:32):
Yeah he was. He was really good.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Man.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
So that is the second cup in team history in
the first and twenty years. That should be your squad, Sauce.
They really shouldn't because they're the old Whalers. Yes, the Whalers.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah, man, it should be my squad, but that would
mean I'd have to pay attention to the sport of hockey.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Hartford. The Whale may beat what is it New York?
Maybe New York, maybe once twice in a lifetime. Great bid.
Anybody else know that movie besides me and Sauce. Wallrats nailed.
See I knew I liked you. I knew the whale.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Speaking of Corey provis The Twins beat the Cardinals yesterday
five for they won that series. Your Twins are thirty
three and forty. They battled Texas tonight at seven o five.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Let's go. We'll do vikings us when we come back.
We got sad news in the NFL over the weekend.
We can ask Ben about that and more than this
is the power of trip Morning. Joe on the Fan
from the one eight hundred.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
All right, welcome back here.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
We are Ben Lebers in here and a cast of
thousands on a Monday, and it's perfectcause it is time
for It's time for.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Cory.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
You had your top story there.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, let's do the sad news man. This came out
of nowhere. And I think literally if you read the story,
even for friends people that were with him, it came
out of nowhere. So former forty nine er Alden Smith
died over the weekend, thirty six years old. Had reportedly
just finished donating a bunch of food. He was donating
pizza to, like a homeless shelter or homeless people. His
friend and him drive to a house. The friend runs

(28:29):
in the house, so isn't in the house for more
than a handful of minutes. He comes back out and
Smith is slumped in the car, unresponsive, and he's dead. Yep.
So I'm sure they're gonna have to look into exactly
what happened. But maybe some kind of a heart attack Andrews,
I have no idea, but just was fine a couple

(28:49):
of minutes previous and then gone within a couple of minutes.
So that's just ridiculously terrible. Came out of absolutely nowhere.
And again, according to ProFootball talk dot com, his last
act was donating food to homeless people. Yeah, it's crazy.
So thirty six years old, seventh overall pick in twenty eleven,
had fourteen sacks as a rookie, and then in his
second season with the Niners, nineteen and a half sacks,

(29:11):
which is a nine Ers record. Then he had a
bunch of dui arrests and marijuana arrests, which, of course
that feels outdated, but still a bunch of DUIs where
he got suspended I think for like multiple seasons because
he couldn't stay out of trouble. Fifty two and a
half career sacks, but got off to one of the
best starts in NFL history. His first couple of years
were dominant, and he looked like he was going to

(29:33):
be a force for fifteen years and then just couldn't
stay out of trouble. Yeah, it's super sad.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
I mean, if you are interested, there is a very
detailed letter or you know, memo written by the guy
that he was with, I don't know, I don't remember
it was his his actual agent or just like a
slash best friend, but he was the one that was
helping him donate all these pizzas and stuff to these
homeless people. And yeah, they did say that he felt

(30:01):
he looked and was acting a little off during the day,
I believe, and one one person even said like, are
you okay, like when he was at one particular stop
to donate stuff, and he played it off like yeah,
I'm good, I'm good. And then like you said, they
stopped to go in the house or the guy goes
in the house and Alden stays in the car and
he comes back and he's unresponsive, and basically, you know,

(30:24):
I think they tried CPR and they tried to revive him,
but he was gone. So either stroke, aneurism, heart attacks, something,
you know, something very serious.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Obviously happened in those moments that he was in the house.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
So it's a super sad.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
And other actual Vikings news to change his subject a
little bit, Brian Flores won the George Hallis Award the
Football The Pro Football Writers of America announced Vikings defensive
coordinator Brian Flores as the twenty twenty six George Hallas
Award winner. Flora's the fifty eighth Hallas Award winner, was
the first member of the Vikings franchise to receive the

(31:02):
honor from the Pro Football Writers Association. The other twenty
twenty six, finalists for the award were Aiden Hutchinson and
Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
So what is this award? For got it?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
The House Award is given to an NFL player, coach,
or staff member who overcomes the most adversity to succeed.
The award is named after George Hollis, obviously one of
three I should say. The House Award is one of
the two oldest awards presented by the Pro Football Writers Association.
And we all know Brian's story, but here's a quick synopsis.

(31:35):
After three seasons as the head coach of the Dolphins,
Flora was fired in twenty twenty one. He fired a
class action lawsuit against the NFL and three teams alleging
racial discrimination. In the midst of the lawsuit, he was
hired by Pittsburgh as a senior defensive assistant linebackers coach
in twenty twenty two. Flores has spent the last three
seasons with the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
He won that award from the Pro Football Writers Association.
And here he is he being uh, Brian Forlore is
talking about winning that award.

Speaker 10 (32:06):
Anytime there's an award that has George hallis on it,
you know, knowing the I know there are rivals, but
you know, knowing the history you know, and what they've
been to the league, it's it's you know, it's an honor.
To be recognized is always an honor, but also allows
me to give you know, some other people some recognition
because I don't know one gets anywhere in football the
ultimate team sport are on their own. So you know,

(32:29):
Ko has always been tremendous. You know, the Wilfs have
always been tremendous, and it starts there with them and
their support of this entire team. And you know, it's
an honor that can be recognized that way. But certainly
didn't you know, get there myself, and you know, very
fortunate to be and this, you know, with this great organization.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Interesting huh, that is interesting. I mean it's I mean,
congratulations to him.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
It's fascinating that you would lump his situation and what
I gather as the lawsuit that he filed against the
NFL as the thing that he had to overcome, which
I don't know, I mean, I see, I suppose to
look at your look at any of your other professions
out there and you any other jobs and if you're

(33:14):
sitting there right now listening to this, and it's like, well,
if you're suing.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Your boss and then you have a very.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
A very public lawsuit and then you're still able to
rise above that and become, you know, arguably that the
top defensive coordinator in the league.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I mean, that's I guess that's that's something, right.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I mean, it's you're not overcoming an injury, but it's
it's probably hard to go to work and knowing that
year you're going after one of the biggest sports entities
in the world, and uh, and you've got to have
your wits about you and still stay the course and
compartmentalize all of that. So so yeah, man, it's it's
been pretty impressive what he's been able to do in
the lawsuits. Not over so it's still there's still there's

(33:55):
still more to come. But congrats to him.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
I gotta believe mister Flores is sick of answering that question,
this question I should say, but uh, here you go, Flores,
is Harrison coming back?

Speaker 10 (34:06):
I think you know the group led by Telly, led
by THEO, led by j Ward, you know, even t
t you know guys who have been here and and
know how we want to, how we operate, how we
do things, and somebody's you know, got to step into
those rows, into those shoes. That's the National Football League,
whether it's injuries, whether it's you know, guys moving on.

(34:27):
Every year is a little bit different. Every team's a
little bit different. You know, this twenty twenty sixth group
is going to be very different than twenty twenty five
and twenty twenty four and twenty twenty three and every
other year before that.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
And so that's just that's just our league.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, So, but is he coming back?

Speaker 10 (34:43):
You love to have him back, you know, I've told
him that many times already. But at the same time, you.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Know, we got a good group. You know, they're really
working hard and.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
Doing a lot of really good things and you know, collectively,
you know, filling those shoes, I would say, and so
excited for that group. And yeah, it's it's it's they're
doing really well.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
So we don't know, Yeah, nobody knows. Somebody nobody knows it.

Speaker 6 (35:12):
And I think no, I'm sure that he he's just
enjoying his off season, keeping his body right as he
always does, and it does it does seem like that
whenever he if if he ever wants to come back,
they will welcome him back at any point in time
of the season. So I put the percentages certainly not zero,

(35:35):
but I actually kind of in a weird way, expect
him to come back.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
I just don't know when.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
I mean, bye week seems like a logical time to
step in, but we'll have to wait and see how
the season goes.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Ot as again this week through Thursday, voluntary OTAs for
your Minnesota vikings, so that continues.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
More quarterback play, Yeah, you if they weren't, if they
didn't have a quarterback competition, I would bet these would
be canceled. But I think they realized that they could.
They are as we've talked about, and you've said, Ben,
it's not like the old days where you could just practice, right.
They need to take advantage of every single rep. They
can get a lot of teams cancel these. But I

(36:19):
would bet one hundred percent if there wasn't a quarterback battle,
they would just cancel.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
I think usually the way they structure these things, after
the mandatory mini camp, they'll they'll throw these guys a
bone or two and just say like, well, you know,
if we have four practices left, we'll cancel two of them.
You know, one might just be like a team outing
like hey, let's go play paintball or go bowling or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
But you're right, I think that they I know.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
It is, Hey, guys, we're gonna just load up the
buses and take more of your time away to so
you guys can go team Bond. I think they have
to treat, to your point, this quarterback situation as if
they are a new coaching staff. You know, new coaching staffs,
they get extra practice time. And you're right, there's a

(37:03):
bunch of veterans. We've got a veteran defense. We have
basically all the other pieces in place, but those guys
need to compete, and those guys need every single rep.
So they're going to treat this as if like this
is a new regime taken over or they're going to
maximize every ounce that they can of this offseason. I
would think, you know, maybe they canceled the last day,

(37:25):
but I'm glad that they're going to be back on
the field, and you know, gives us something to talk
about it for sure.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
So is like, is there anything that says like, let's
say Kyler wants to stay after practice for two hours.
Is there something in like that they can't do that,
Like Koc couldn't stand there and help him. Is there
like somebody from the league that like monitors all this.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Yeah, I mean a lot of this is sort of
self reporting, But I do believe that they are restricted
by the number of opportunities and hours the coaches have
interaction with these players, both in the classroom and on
the field. But if Kyler and JJ and the equipment
manager and a receiver and hell, I mean, if the

(38:14):
whole offensive line wants to stick around, you know, if
if Kyler wants to step up and say, hey, guys,
I need everybody to stick around for an extra twenty
reps or something like that, that's on him.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Coaches, I don't believe can be there. Nobody can do
any actual coaching.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
It is sort of player led at that point in
time outside of practice time.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
So it'll be it will be interesting to see.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
You know, we heard justin Jefferson talk about, Hey, I'm
going to spend time with both Kyler and JJ in
this offseason period.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Where are they going to be I don't really know.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
It's a love triangle.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
Who else is going to be there? I don't really know,
you know, in the years past. I think last year
JJ was working out at Woodbury High School, I believe,
and you know feeling was there a bunch of other players.
Were there some tight ends there? They're all like, you know,
they've had these throwing and catching sessions.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Who knows where that's going to be this year.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
Don't know if it's gonna be locally, don't know if
it's gonna be in California, who knows, But it'll be interesting,
how you know, we already saw Kyler and Jordan Addison
working out before OTA started. So what does that relationship
look like? Do they do they does j A and
JJ or you know jets kind of get together and say, hey,
let's do this together. Do this as a group. Do

(39:27):
all three of them? You know, now Juwan Jennings do
the we Hey, all three of us, let's let's go
to each quarterback for you know, a few days before
we hit our vacation.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
I don't know, it'll be interesting to.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
See Ben if they're working out like it at Breck
High School? Is there any chance like sitting on a
bench over like near the sideline. You see like ko
like this or is that illegal?

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Illegal?

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Just read the newspaper.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Guys should be illegal? Yeah, Rosanna cruise ship.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Well he he was just looking for somewhere to sit,
just wanted to read. By the way, vets are off,
what about summer now? And it's only the young guys
are here for Well.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
There we go.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
See when So I thought that announcement came out on Friday,
Thursday or Friday that that the off season was technically over.
But then I just rolled with the fact because OTS
is still going on.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
So I was like, all right, I guess they're still
going on this. I didn't know either. We don't just
trust Sauce when he says things been. I can't think
of any time. I've never fifty, so that's one I
can think of. It's it's the current time. I don't
remember ever hearing a story of an NFL player like

(40:47):
tearing his a cl doing those kinds of workouts, right,
Like ten guys get together at a high school, they
just work out. How come we've never had somebody tear
their acl at something like that?

Speaker 3 (40:57):
You're hoping, aren't you?

Speaker 2 (40:58):
No? I just think it's crazy. All it takes is
one weird extent can happen. I think it happens, but
I can't think of one though. I'm sure I can't
think of a c L.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
Well, they certainly, they certainly aren't going competitively one hundred
miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
But it just takes one fall down, one weird step. Pops.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
I tore my cl trying to out rebound superstar Mike Morris.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
I'm gonna say this, and this is gonna sound mean,
give it hell, I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
He a foot taller than you.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Literally almost exactly one foot taller than me, and I
did not jump as high as his forehead, and I
tore my a cl because of the land and the land. Hey,
sweet Ben, yep, can I give you one more thing?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah? Please?

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Can you guys stay with me for a moment because
it is going to be interesting. And I know you're
gonna poop poo me Corey Cove because you like the
poo poop people.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
It's my favorite thing. Here we go, so your dad,
here we go? You right, you mean Dwight, I mean Dwight. Yeah,
please say come on, man, I'm back in twin.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
In Minnesota. I can use a third round pick. At
the NFL draft on.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
What year did you say that again? COVID year, third.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
Round pick out of Mississippi State. Oh that's right, Camera
Dancer's six foot two defensive back started ten games as
a rookie, registered forty six combined tackles, two interceptions, force.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Fumble, and went super thin. But how tall was he?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Six foot two? That's a huge bitch, So I'm saying
the future looked so bright he had to wear shades.
In the second year with the Purple and Gold, Dancer
found action in fourteen games, started seven had a career
high fifty three combined tackles. However, frustration with the coaching
staff and an ankle injury led him to getting a
reduced roll in his third season. In fact, that would
be his final season in the NFC North. He was
placed on the injury reserve at the ankle injury and

(42:45):
waved after the season, moved on to I Believe New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Damn Dancer, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yeah? Only after three games there. The young defender bounced
around the NFL other organizations.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
But now stay with me. Don't poop me yet, please,
all right, I'm not gonna poop him yet. Yeah, I
won't poop you yet. I'm not that whale.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
The United Football League Game of Colin.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
You promised me you were going to clinch.

Yeah, clinch, cor we'll still call that number. Chrees. How's
he doing? By the way, I think he's doing. Be going?

Speaker 3 (43:33):

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Right? I don't know, I know he was supposed to. Yeah,
I know.

Speaker 3 (43:36):

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Yeah anyway, uf L caemic Colin and put Danceller back

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Do you have to use the word spotlights in.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Twenty man? Show him how to clinch?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
He knows. I felt it supposed to be whoa, whoa, Hey,
don't clinch.

Speaker 8 (44:15):
Oh, buddy, you you need help, you Hawking.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
In twenty twenty six, he joined the Louisville Kings.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
The boy the Louisville Kings. That's a thing. Yeah, that's
Hawk's team. Oh, he's back in the spotlight. That's your
team right.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Oh, you can't clinch anymore. I'm your turtle head and
brother Hawk.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Hello, they're calling cam dancler hold on, Hawk, will you
please wear a Louisville Kings hat?

Speaker 3 (44:42):
You buy it for me?

Speaker 2 (44:43):
I will buy it for you right now.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
The Kings lost their first three games of the season,
but rallied to win six of their final seven once
in the postseason the momentum and stop and Dancer, and
the Kings defeated the Saint Louis battle Hawks. That's my
team because I like the logo, Sant Louis BattleHawks. And
we're in the championship game against the DC Defenders. That
is in when the twenty seven year old he's only
twenty seven guys defensive backup made some huge plays in
that game against the Defenders. He had a huge interception

(45:04):
in the fourth quarter in a one score game that
helped the Kings on their way to a twenty seven
to twenty victory in the UFL Championship.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Boys, we'll.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Now he must be asked, will dancer be asked to return?
And it could be to your Minnesota backing. I doubt
quarterback out. Yeah, I doubt it. I doubt it, you guys.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
I do.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
I do feel like I saw a news story where
he was very public about like how he.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Was gonna, you know, change his approach and do.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
All this other stuff and kind of admitted that he
was maybe there's some immaturity and like he's he's back
and he's ready to he's ready to grind at it.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
So good for him.

Speaker 6 (45:44):
If I hopefully this is a good redemption story for
the needle, you know, maybe he maybe he gets picked
up by somebody in training camp and actually.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Likes the championship.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Next it has a second success career.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
I think, do you want to snap back hat or
a fitted hand for the.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Last I'd like a I want one of the flat
brim hats because I like the way to look on
my head. I think if if Zimmer has hemorrhoids, one
of those purple danglers has got camera Danceler's name on it.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
My god, because that was real graphic. Purple Danglers.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Also, he loves that he frustrate Mike's.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't think Mike liked him. Is that a new
Vikings podcast? Just lingering topics? Yeah? Well played.
