Pole the k pop is. Propylactics you, guys ever heard
of the Choking?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Doberman?

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Uh The hosts Show listen With Rachel. MADDOG i JUST i.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Looked up doberman picture On wikipedia and at the bottom
it said others other, things and it said the Choking doberman.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Just a sex. Move, no, oh it's. Not, no it's
an urban. Legend can you say?

Speaker 6 (07:33):
It the Choking doberman is an urban legend that originated
in The United. States course story involves a protective pet
found by its owner gagging on juban.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Fingers mm, hmmm mm.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Hmm as the story, unfolds the dog's owner discovers an
intruder whose hand is. Bleeding and that's where the urban,
legend the choking comes. From does a dog?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
DIE i sure hope? So you hope? So and that
is that where biting the hand that feeds comes, from
DON'T i don't think, so.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Because if you bite the hand that, feeds you could
choke on the fingers that feeds IN i.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Mean poor. Doggie he's.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
So an intruder comes into someone's, house doberman does What
doberman's do. Best they attacks eat this guy's, fingers just
Like Jameis, winston and then and then he protects the
house and then dies as a result of.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
It, well here's a terrible. Thing but here's the, Thing,
ben hear me. Out he's got a taste for.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Fingers, now you're gonna have to put him down eventually
because nobody's, Safe so you might as well just let him.
Go just let him go because he loves the taste
of finger M So sawcer decides to feel of. It
oh my, okay can we can we go back to

(09:09):
shark attack? Lady oh, yeah, yeah, sure real, quick she.
Does she prefers not to be referred to as, that
by the.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Way.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Doesn't have a choice, NOW i mean, YEAH i mean
it's just, like, sorry that's this here. Label why doesn't
This why don't sharks just finish the? Job, like why
don't they just eat the whole?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Body let's go full circle back to dogs for a.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Second over the, weekend my Dog mars puked everywhere fingers
and we're, like what the? Hell and, then of, course you,
know because she seemed, fine but we're, like what does
she puking? Up and then you, realize, oh she got
into the cinnamon cheerios and that didn't sit right, Right
so there's something in the dog stomach that's, Like i'm
not used to. THIS i don't know how to process.
This let's just eject. It and then cinnamon cheerios are

(09:56):
all over the carpet and that's. DISGUSTING i think the
shark thing is exactly the same. Thing, Right almost all
fatal attacks are just out of. Curiosity, right you get
a bite to see what the hell it, is and
when they, realize, oh this isn't on the, menu they
normally just spit it out and they move. On but
then you probably bleed. Out so this, SHARK i almost

(10:17):
said HE i don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
WHY i think it's a. Dude the shark bites are
maybe even pulls her.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Under if this guy or gal's story is correct that
he saw the shark breach with a body in its,
mouth pulls her. Under bites are this is not you,
know man who man?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Whu the?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Slender this is an in shape person that has no.
Blubber they're looking for blubber on. Seals so they're, like
the hell is? This this is like a what is.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
This a slim? GYM i don't want. This they spit it.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
AROUND i suppose it's the neoprene of the wet. Suit
that's probably the thing that they don't.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Like, Interesting, YEAH i guess.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Though but the thing, IS i feel like a lot
of shark, attacks whether you're in a wet suit or,
not they just noki.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Icky well it could also.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
BE i, mean it's, like you, know you get large,
fry you don't always eat every fry the hell you?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Don't, well yeah you, do you, Do, yeah you have
to to offend. You, okay, here but what about? This
have you ever go in too like burger?

Speaker 4 (11:16):
King you ever got a burger king and you're eating
fries and all of a sudden it will be like
a random onion ring in the.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Fries if you're not paying, attention you might you might
temporarily what the hell? Ring it's the. Worst so you
spit it out because what the hell is?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
That that's not a, Fry but you instinctually, though you
just spit it.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Out but you do eventually eat.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
It though you don't ever eat every part of the.
Rib if you get, ribs you, don't you, know the,
steak you leave the t bone out. THERE i, mean
because we can't process, bone, yeah but can shark process?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bone?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah they? Can how do you? Know, Well i'm asking
the expert over, Here.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Corey you wash sharks fries and sharks shark?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Shark we can steak.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Fries ALL i know is, again almost all attacks are investigator,
investigatory nailed it bites right. There just they want to
figure out what it, is and once they realize it's
not what they're looking, for they.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Just don't take such a big bite.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Incapable of doing a. Nibble they're great white. Sharks they
have rows of razor sharp. Teeth even an investigator investigatory
bite is mostly a, big big.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Problem it's a bunch of razor.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Knives so sharks and flesh can digest bones that are
incredibly strong stomach, acid but large indigestible bones like human
bones often get regurgitated as their digestive track can't process
them past the.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Stomach Gross can a dog digest?

Speaker 7 (12:46):
FINGERS i don't know IF i should ask, this BUT
i can't even masturbate dogs process irrelevant digest.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Fingers the dog from raising canes probably likes chicken. Fingers,
no they are not safe for.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Dogs human fingers fingers aren't cause digestive issues or make
your dogs.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Sick all, Right so the list of things that dogs
cannot process human fingers and, cinnamon cheerios.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
And raw hide and raw. Hide, yeah careful with that raw, hide,
MAN i can tell you what they can. Digest what's
that rabbit? POOP i? Know, boy the. WORST i don't,
understand get. It it's. GROSS i know they don't like.
Rollo they don't.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Really they don't really touch it, much at least in my.
Household they don't touch it much in the. Summertime but,
boy when those suckers, freeze, man they love, them they love.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
It it's the.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Worst it's, like what is the astronaut ice? Cream what

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Dot out in the. Yard. Delicious, Man it's.

Speaker 4 (13:51):

Speaker 6 (18:21):
Monday we're live in studio here on the twenty ninth Of, December, Corey,
zach myself And Ben.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Hi Hi. Hi i'm great to see your defense played
super well On Christmas. Day, yeah it was.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
AWESOME i haven't seen a performance like that in a,
really really long, time and it was it. Was, yeah
a lot of pride for those, GUYS a lot of pride, pride,
YEAH i, mean and thankfully because, yeah the offense was pretty,
bad so not much to talk about. THERE i, mean,
really you, know if the defense didn't shine LIKE i,

(18:59):
did and it would have been just a, horrible Horrible
Christmas day. Game but you, know defense came. Out and
the surprising thing is after the, FACT i was talking
to one of The lions coaches and at least then
the quick reaction, Was he's, like you, guys didn't do

(19:20):
anything that we weren't prepared. For like B flow ran his.
System he did what he he. Did he exactly what
he thought we thought he was going to. Do we
just could not stop. It like we could Not we
could not get their right count with their offensive. Line you,
know obviously we were. Flustered we couldn't figure, out you,

(19:41):
know where they were coming.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
From but as.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Far as like did B flow do anything different as
far as throwing new blitzes at, him new, Coverages, no
he just did what he normally does and they still
could not figure it.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Out. Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Good Is sunday's game against The packers the last time
we will See Brian flores A viking?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Sideline? Yes or? NO i MEAN i hope.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
NOT i THINK i think if the rumors are true About,
dallas it's it's probably the best path for him to
just get elevated into the head coach ne.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Role LIKE i would feel really bad that what's The dallas.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Roer so the rumor is The cowboys want him to
come there and Replace eberflus as a defensive, Coordinator and
a lot of people are, like, well why would he
make a lateral, move you, know just to a defensive. Coordinator,
well the idea, is at least in my, thought is
like they would kind of give him this job assistant head,

(20:41):
coach give them all the.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Titles he'd probably get a huge.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Pay, raise and then if if things fall apart With Brian,
schottenheimer then they just elevate him into head.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Coach what a weird dynamic, though right if Your flores
is that even the dynamic you want is to, be you,
know ready to stab your head coach coach in the.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
BACKS i. SEE i don't think so. EITHER i don't
think that's ideal at.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
All BUT i think that's the only way that.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
That's the only way in my mind that he makes
a lateral.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Move, well CAN i ask you please to do me
a favorite? Band, yeah this is one of the main
QUESTIONS i wanted to ask, you speaking Of Brian.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Flores i'm glad you brought it up core.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
Because that's WHERE i was going to for those of
us who have very little memory who turned fifty five
and can feel it just fading into. Nothingness can you
remind me What flores did to get such a.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Check mark against his?

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Name and the REASON i ask is because any other
defensive coordinator would have been hired immediately after the game
On Christmas day by some team who needed a. Coach
that defensive performance across the country was said to have
been one of the greatest things ever seen by these. Eyes,

(21:56):
yeah any other defensive coordinator would be a head coach
today for another. Team tell me what he did to
keep that from.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Happening, well.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
From a thirty thousand foot, VIEW i think a year
and a half two years, ago people would have just, said, like,
oh he's he's he's suing his former team in The
Miami dolphins and THE nfl for basically wrongful. Termination AND

(22:26):
i think that there. WAS i think there was some
racially charged things in there as. Well when it comes
to THE nfl part of, IT i think there was
a there's this an overarching like ooh, boy this is
kind of. Toxic don't want to touch. This let's let
all the legal stuff figure it stuff. OUT i would
say in the last eighteen months, though when some of

(22:48):
the maybe this legal term discovery stuff has come, out
and when he was with The Miami, dolphins the rumors
are he really clashed with the owner because the owner
wanted to tank the team for that one that his
last year to get a higher draft. Pick they believed

(23:09):
In tua tongue Of. Valoa he did. Not he, SAID
i want to bring in somebody. Else there was a
huge power struggle in the way that ross the owner
saw the, team direct direction of the team and what
he saw as the direction of a. Team he was
fired because he basically wouldn't play ball with the. Owner
now in, hindsight and this is WHY i think a

(23:30):
lot of people are kind of kind of brushing brushing
all of these allegations in a lawsuit, aside is Because
Brian flores is, Correct like he stood up for, Integrity
he stood up for what he believed. In he was
hired to do a job that he said he thought
he was fully capable of. Doing and when you're getting
handcuffed by the owner and getting led down a different

(23:53):
path and and and ultimately, fired and THEN i think
there's the legal action against the, league WHICH i don't
know as much About to be honest with, YOU i
think that there was, like you, know some other stuff
going on in the next hiring process as to why
he's he's suing the league as.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
WELL i think again a year or two, ago it.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
Was, like, ooh it just seems Like toxics don't want
to touch. Him now that the details are coming, out it's, like,
oh that's what this is all. About, well we can
sell that to our, fans like our, owner you, know
shouldn't have a problem with, that even though there's a
legal process going. On SO i think a lot of
that stuff is simmered, down AND i think that he

(24:37):
is hirable, again AND i don't think it's going to
be sort of a quote unquote pr. NIGHTMARE i unfortunate
for all of us As vikings. FANS i think that
we might lose.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Him, yeah AND i think it's great for.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
Him he's going to be he's still pretty, young he's super,
talented he's, beloved and that's the other. THING a lot
of people we're talking about his The miami, situation saying
that he wasn't well. Liked he kind of burns some
bridges the way that he treated, Players YadA, YadA and
then you know, Again tua going out, PUBLICLY i think
with AN espn article about you, know the things that

(25:13):
were said behind the, scenes and.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
You, KNOW i don't. KNOW i don't know what to.
Believe like you.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Gotta you got a tough minded head coach that probably
says some stuff to motivate. You and if you don't like,
it does that mean that he's a bad guy or
you just didn't like the coaching. Tactics it seems like
everybody here In minnesota loves him and his coaching tactic
tactics are completely. FINE i, Mean Van ginkel was with
him in In. Miami he didn't have a problem signing
a free agent contract here with, him like he, knew

(25:41):
he knows who he. Is SO i think that the
whole vibe in the mood around him is shifting and
he is going to be the hottest commodity on the
on the market as far as head coaches.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Go and if he finds a job that he, LIKES
i think that he's. GONE i was looking earlier in
regards to WHAT i just asked you.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
For anything updating what's going on with the class action,
lawsuit and this is WHAT i found and this is
one of the million. Reasons this is real low on
the list Why i'm not a, LAWYER, a not smart, ENOUGH,
b don't. CARE i, mean there's so many letters, here
we have to go into triple and quadruple letters Why

(26:29):
i'm not a. Lawyer but trying to read through all
this junk literally made my hair fall out of my.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Head i'm.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Bald this is a class action lawsuit alleging race discrimination
in The National Football league's hiring of coaching. Staff On february,
first twenty twenty, two Former Miami dolphins Coach Brian, flores
who had been fired by The dolphins and then rejected
from other coaching, jobs filed a class action complaint against
THE Us District court for The Southern district Of New
york against THE, nfl The, dolphins The New York, giants
and The Denver broncos forres put forth evidence that he

(26:59):
was subject to sham interviews for coaching roles only to
SATISFY nfl hiring, rules not because he was under serious.
Consideration and then he goes on and on and, on
and as Of november of twenty twenty, five there was
another article listed in regards to this. Complaint so it's
still happening as we. Speak AND i do love that

(27:20):
in this complaint That i'm reading right, now somebody accidentally
wrote The tennessee.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Titians yes they, did must have been, said and how
he spells it.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yep so just to recap, here he got fired From
miami because of an overbearing, owner and now there are
rumors that he might go To.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Dallas right. THAT i.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Know that's the funny thing is, like AS i was
speaking about, that it's like less less and less likely
that you would probably end up In. Dallas but that
is the hot runner that you try to take THE
dc job In. Dallas and the old, reason the only
logical reason that you can think that he would make
a lateral mood this just because he would be the
head coach and waiting If Brian schottenheimer is not, successful

(28:09):
which is crazy because to your, Point, corey why would
they bring in a trojan? Horse you, know it's like
this is time, Now, yeah this is. Ridiculous this is
like all bad juju for the. TEAM i, mean if
we're thinking that, HERE i, mean of course they're thinking
the same thing, there And Brian schottenheimer's, like, Well i'm
a dead, man then just fire me SO i can

(28:31):
go get another.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Job. Yeah so that that is part.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
Of the the the racial stuff THAT i wasn't quite sure.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Of and the thing is like everybody knows he's. Right.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah likely there are sham interviews done all the time
because of The rooney rule all the, time like and
they and they know. It AND i think even the
minority coaches they know. It some of these guys though
that they just, like, well if you're young and you're
you're getting some of these, interviews it is good. Experience
BUT i think buy and large a lot of them know,
that Like i'm not a serious candidate for this.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Job they just have to check a. BOX i don't
know the best way around.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
THAT i think The rooney, rule you, know the essence
of The rooney, rule it's like the essence of a
lot of laws that we make in this country are
LIKE i think it's there's great intentions with, it it's
just abused and not exercised in the right.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Way and the guys know it.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
WELL i think the one thing for all coaching interview, candidates,
though is getting your name.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Thrown out there like so and so interviewed for The.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Broncos head coaching job or The dolphins head coaching job
or whatever it. Is it does kind of put you
on the, map, Right, like even if the interview goes,
nowhere it's, like, oh that guy's maybe a year or two.
Away SO i think it definitely gives people name recognition
when they wouldn't have had it.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Before, yeah and.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
They're definitely are cases Of rooney, rule, like, well this
guy is not a like wasn't Wasn't tomlin even supposed
to be a, throwaway but then he wowed them and
then got the.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
JOB i don't know because he was like one of
their first. Interviews, okay that might be the.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Case i'm thinking of somebody, Else BUT i feel like
we have a handful of stories where it probably was just,
well we're supposed to do, this so we have to do.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
This but then you get in the door and you
blow them.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Away that's the whole, idea right is like you get
exposed to people that you maybe weren't going to.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Consider who knows and in a way experience doing an interview.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
For, Sure i'm, WELL i guess we'll always be curious
why F lauras immediately felt like it was a sham
and why it wasn't serious because my guess is it
might not be so, obvious, right but he felt it
that it was a.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Sham, well that's that's WHY i mentioned.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
It that's WHY i mentioned the part where like the
young coaches will use it as. Experience and, again in his,
situation he was fired as a as a head, coach
so his name's already out. There he already, like he
already has a. Reputation SO i don't know exactly what
happened to make him think that this is, like this
is something THAT i need to press charges on or
at least bring a class action lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Against but, look we all know that we all know
that it.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Exists we all know that this THE dei stuff exists
within THE nfl and.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
A lot of.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
Corporations it's partly ridiculous and it wastes a lot of people's.
TIME i don't know legal, action what you can really
do and how you can prove. It but, again that
is one thing THAT i think is still hovering over
him THAT i believe. Personally, AGAIN i don't think IT'S
i don't think that's a tough.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Sell to the.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
OWNERS i think it's it might be a little tough
on their inner circle of, like, dude you're hiring this
guy that's suing all of us, basically, RIGHT.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
KNOW i GUESS i don't know enough. DETAILS i would, say,
well here's a very talented. Coach he's, young he can.
MOTIVATE i think that he can bring our team a.
Championship that's more important than what THE nfl is dealing
with on illegal Se.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
He literally checks every, box every box And, ben you've
been around him way more THAN i. Have but Anytime
i've been around, him he exudes head. Coach oh, yeah he, yes.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Exudes, authority intimidation and, love all of those. Things there's
nothing about Him i've ever seen WHERE i, thought well
there's a mark against, him you.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Know, No and the thing is from the WAY i,
Understand LIKE i don't know his family personally at, all
But i've met people that know his family in the
suburb he lives, in and everybody gushes about how great
his family, is how nice he, is just you, know
even when he's just being a. Dad i've seen him
at basketball, Tournaments LIKE i, know he's as involved as

(32:31):
he can be with his kids when the time, Allows
Like he literally just checks every single box.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
That you want to like.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Everything he's a family, guy he's super, approachable he's, nice
he's a genius as far as a defensive guy goes.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like he has head coaching.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Experience like that's Why i'm, LIKE i think we're going
to lose, him AND i don't want to lose.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Him BUT i think when you keep Seeing Pete carroll
getting a, job he keeps seeing people like that continue
to get hired in THE, nfl you just, say what
in the, hell, Right, yeah no offense to Pee, carell
but you get my.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Point he's one hundred and.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Two, well let's talk about people when we get back,

Speaker 6 (34:46):
Great.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Gumment that's a guy who you know can stay.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Healthy, yeah we could have the oldest quarterback IN nfl
history of one of the.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Youngers i'm the. Youngest, yeah, god it'd be it'd be so.
Fun it's Like obi one and that other. Guy you
guys would freaking Love. Phil he is the Best, phil
like the Groundhog. Phil, Yeah, Bill, yeah he's. GREAT i
love the.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
STORIES i love you, know every time he gets in
front of the, MICROPHONE i feel like there's something compelling
to say and listen.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
To and he talks trash in such a great. Way,
well did.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
You, guys did you guys all see his micd up
stuff from the very first. Game it's even even when he's,
celebrating he doesn't even let himself go to drop any
sort of vulgarity at. All it's Freak, YEAH i love.
IT i love it and dang it and darn. It you,
know it's like it really. Is it's not an act like,

(35:39):
that it really. Is that's that's All I've it's not
like it's not like we know each other from like
for like thirty, years but like the time that he
walked in the locker room In San diego to what
you see, now it's the same, dude like he's and
all the stories that connect all the, pieces like that's
how he is he's he's the cleanest trash Talker i've
ever been, around and it's so.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Funny love. It, YEAH i want him to be.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
HERE i want that kind of a backup, quarterback so
we always have somebody healthy and somebody who talks trash
by saying dang.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
It oh you know the nice thing.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
Too if he was the backup, quarterback how much pressure and?
WEIGHT i think he'd take off of McCarthy from a
like a week to week attention, basis BECAUSE i think
there'd be more interviews done With philip oh and just
like you, know in a big brother, capacity and then
McCarthy can just go and just focus on what he

(36:32):
needs to focus. On he'll do his, one his one
interview a week and then that's.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
It doesn't it rivers miss like sixty seven games a
year because of the birth of another kid, Though, like
so you can't really count on, him.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
NO i, mean so it's so old hat that he
doesn't even take the time off All. NO i mean
he's there for the, Birth i'm, sure but then just
like all right right back. Door, Yeah i's so easy
for his wife, Now, YEAH i think they just do
it at, home if you know WHAT i, mean, yeah
it's one of those magic. CARPETS i had like a.
Scale you just holy, CRAP i didn't KNOW i was. Pregnant.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Man good For Philip burgers didn't play. Game it's like
leaving the, metrodome so like you right.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
THERE i don't know if you're awake, listening, guys but
there you.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Go. Yeah it would have been such a better story
if he had won a game or two or, three
but obviously. Whatever it was so cool that he went
out there and slung it but didn't. Win, right oh for?
THREE i think didn't he.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Throw five touchdowns this last? Week Or i'm like, That
AM i? WRONG i don't think he. DIDN'T i thought
he had like a big, game big big. GAME i
don't think, So. Phil, Yeah i'm gonna think about that
and laugh again. Later that was a that was really,
good well. Done that was super. Funny.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
News oh hell, yeah hell, yeah hold, on let me
hit the, news Or phil would.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Say heck, yeah trip presented by Your.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Sunday Afternune ben is the last. Game i'm sure you've already.
Heard but you, know they released The times after they
realized what games are gonna?

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Matter what games? Aren't the vikings And.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Packers we'll square off right here on the fan at
noon On.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Sunday to wrap up twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Five chris let off last segment with That Harrison smith,
SoundBite saying he hasn't thought ahead until next. Year he
doesn't know, yet BUT i think we're going to see
a dramatically different team next. Year there's a lot of,
older high priced free agents that.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Might be one and.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Done there's a lot of guys Like harris And smith
that might. Retire quarterback ROOM i think is going to
look dramatically. DIFFERENT i don't. KNOW i think this is
going to be the year of the. TURNOVER i think
we're gonna have a pretty significant.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Turnover in the. OFFSEASON i think the roster is going
to look very.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Different give me some names that you think might play
their last game for The purple On.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Sunday, well the thing, is it's it.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
Is it is true that it happens every single, Year
BUT i think because of cap space and all that stuff,
too like they they might not be in a position
to keep a lot of these.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
A lot of these.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
Guys so let's kind of go through a little bit
of the the cap numbers and all this other. Stuff
So brian O'Neill for next year is going to have
a twenty three million dollar cap. Hit, hey, NOW i
think that you pay him like you pay. IT i,
mean he's that's what he's contracted to. MAKE i think

(39:33):
that there might be a restructure in.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
There.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
Whatever gernard's, second you got to keep him. Around hawkinson
twenty one, million he's probably. Gone jefferson's thirty eight. Million
obviously he. Stays Van ginkel nineteen, million he. Stays harrison
counts For Harrison smith four point three. Million you, know
most likely he's. Gone darris's at twenty three. Million you

(39:57):
got to keep him. Around Aaron jones fourteen, million likely
that he's. Gone hargrave twenty one. Million likely he's. Gone
Jonathan allen twenty one. MILLION i would say that he's
had a better year than Than. Hargrave maybe not a

(40:18):
splashy or of a player when it comes to what
you would hope out of this, guy BUT i could
see him sticking. Around Byron murphy nineteen, Million he probably
sticks around. Anyway Ryan kelly he's most likely. Gone he's
going to retire because of the. Concussions that's twelve million
off the books and then from there it just kind
of goes.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Down but LIKE i, think.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
If you you, know you get you kind of shed
the contracts Of Ryan kelly that's twelve, Million hargrave's twenty one,
million And hawkinson twenty one million right. THERE i, mean
your base you're, good, like you're you're. Fine LIKE i don't,
THINK i don't think that you, know we get we
get under the, cap they're going to they'll make some other.
Moves they might extend some guys just to smooth out some.
Money they'll find ways to be some spenders and free.

(41:03):
Agency but the point, is, YEAH i mean it's gonna,
look it's gonna look, Different BUT i DON'T i don't
think it's gonna be one of those, like oh, man
what a what a knife to the heart we have
we can't keep this, guy you, Know, LIKE i think
the moves that they make will be necessary, moves AND
i think from the fan base, perspective we'll be, like all, right,

(41:23):
well we can probably find somebody else cheaper that can
replace that guy's.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Production how different will the quarterback room look next?

Speaker 5 (41:31):
SEASON i, mean we definitely have to find a capable
backup because that's pretty a pretty glaring.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
NEED i think we all Like brosmer as a.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
PERSON i don't think that he's given us any confidence
that he can step in a in a reserve role
and pick up the pieces and even even be close
to what Like Nick mullens, Was.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
So what Is brosmer doing? Poorly does he have enough?
Time is he holding onto the ball too? Long is
the line not protect?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Him and like is he?

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Inaccurate what's what is not? WORKING i, mean, clearly it's,
like what have fifty one yards On? Christmas and it
felt like less than, that it felt like.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Ten it's.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
TOUGH i mean it's it's definitely just going to be
more experienced and in this type of. System i'm not
saying that he's not going to be capable a in
a two years or something like, that BUT i wouldn't
feel comfortable if he if he was the true backup
going into next season after what we've. SEEN i, MEAN
i think that there's a mentality that is, promising but

(42:31):
from an execution, standpoint it seems like he's got a
ways to.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Go but as an undrafted free, agent if he was
quarterback three and they truly were still developing, him but
no expectation that he's going to see the. Field any
problem with prosners the third game not at, All so not. Three,
fine but we need a true backup unless unless JJ's
the backup because they make him kind of crazy deal
For burrow or.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Whatever the deal. Is but, YEAH i don't un likely
as that.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Is, Right so you still THINK jj is going to
likely be the, starter a significant upcroose at, backup and
then Possibly.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Brosem.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Yeah and the thing, IS i know that we can't
we can't be super choosy in this free agent market
for a backup quarterback because they're just not a lot
of guys out. There BUT i do think if you
could be strategic about who you bring, in it is somebody,
that let's just, say lack of better, comparison is built
and looks more like A Sam darnold and a little

(43:26):
bit more like A Kirk cousins that has a naturally talented,
arm that is a name probably taller in.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Statue, NO i don't have a name right? Now do
you just say? It?

Speaker 6 (43:36):
Though don't you think That Kirk cousins is a legitimate?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
CANDIDATE i don't know. WHAT i don't know how that
contract situation. Works. OUT i, mean that's a tough that's
a tough that's a tough.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
Thing because if they just flat out release him and
then there is no contract, obligation then sure you could bring,
him you can bring him back.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
In BUT i, DON'T i don't, know, Man, like what
about Mac.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Jones if IT'S i, know he's not a free, agent
you'd have to trade for. Him but you just Mentioned
Brian flores potentially would go to a place Like dallas
if he could be the head coach in. Waiting, right
that's not necessarily the case, here but it might be
some more Like. DALLAS i feel the same thing about Mac.
JONES i would think Mac jones is only, leaving, sorry
Leaving San francisco.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
For a true starting.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
Job but he's never going to start if perty's healthy
In San.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Francisco, right that's their.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Guy you could come To minnesota and go the leasha
on McCarthy's going to be. Short if he doesn't play,
Well i'm going to be the starter for The vikings. Quickly,
right this is a pretty short path if he thinks
McCarthy's going to. Stumble but if you're Mac jones's, agent
you might Say i'm not interested in getting traded anywhere
Unless i'm going to be the, starter.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Let alone waiting for a guy like McCarthy to.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
Fall, well it is tricky, too because if you're Mac,
jones do you feel, like, Oh i've completely resurrected myself
and reformed my game to WHERE i can play in
any system in the, league any any team that needs
a starting. QUARTERBACK i don't think that that's. True LIKE
i think that these guys they start to fall into

(45:17):
a pattern that best suits. Them and if he feels
like A Kyle shanahan type of system is where he's
going to play it his, best, well then that kind
of limits you of what's going to be. AVAILABLE i,
MEAN i don't think that he's going to be a you,
know a guy that can just go out there and you,
know rip it down the, field you, know fifty or

(45:39):
sixty yards every single time and look for the big
play and be an explosive passer all the.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Time like that's not his.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
Game if he truly is really looking at it holistically
of how he's he's gotten better as a, quarterback if
he wants to go out there and just chase the
money and say Like i'm just going to go to
the highest, bidder AND i don't really. Care, WELL i
don't think that that's a smart, Move, like he's in
a very he's he's in a position where he has
a lot of control AND i don't know if you

(46:06):
take that very lightly because that rarely comes around in the.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
League so all that being, SAID i think there are
going to be some bidders for.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
HIM i don't think that you get into a bidding
war with, him AND i think that you'd have with
every quarterback that comes. IN i don't know what the
conversation is going to. BE i don't have any insight
on that, thing BUT i, mean what do you tell these?
Guys you, say, hey you have a legit opportunity to
come in here and, start or do they, say, hey
we're going to give this kid one more. Year we
want you to push, him we want you to like

(46:38):
be a mentor for, him but this is his team
for another. YEAR i don't know what those conversations. Are
so that's a Tougher self recency.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
Bias but the last couple of weeks have changed the
conversation Around Malik willis as.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Well does that interest you at?

Speaker 4 (46:53):
All, again forget how likely it is THAT i don't
know what his contract situation is. Either forget how likely
it is that he goes from the Green bit package
or The. Vikings just in, general if he was, available
would you be? Interested, Sure i'd be.

Speaker 5 (47:06):
Interested but AGAIN i think he's probably thinking he's playing.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Himself into a starting.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
Role SO i, MEAN i CAN'T i can't blame these
guys for leverage you. Themselves when you, don't you get
few opportunities to leverage yourself as a quarterback in this.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
League so this is a this weird a. Predicament for.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Sure there's not a lot of guys out, there not
a lot of guys even even was It brissette in In.
Arizona like he's played himself into a starting role. There
then that means Is Kyler murray a guy that you
want to bring?

Speaker 4 (47:39):
In, no especially not as a backup like that seems
like that would be.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
TOXIC i think it'd be. Toxic AND i don't think
he fits the, system you. Know so, There so there's
gonna be guys, available but are they going to be
good for what KOs wants to? Do is he gonna
have to like reshape his, offense like he, said to
reshape his offense for.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
McCarthy i don't think you want to do.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
That, No KOs is in pretty good. Shape maybe he's
his own backup. System he could, still you, know.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Younger than Holds KOs like forty. TWO i thank. You
let's see. Here while you're looking at.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
That earlier you asked a question about Why michigan hired
that guy as.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Sixty six years. Old oh kao's only. Forty by the, way.
Forty there you, Go? Kyle whatd you? Gut what did
you guys say About?

Speaker 4 (48:26):
KYLE i just, said this is not Anti kyle at.
ALL i just can't believe That michigan hired a sixty
six year.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Old here's a listener just shocked me a little.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
Bit the Reason michigan hired the older guys because they
didn't need another young guy chasing The punani.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Well who said that a listener Named Chuck Okay. CHUCK
i hate to break, it forew sixty six year olds
also into.

Speaker 4 (48:52):

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Seventy rockstar, our former sports. Broadcasters there's there's so many
people that are still into it at sixty, six but not.
