Speaker 1 (00:00):
Get your vikings updates with just an extrom on Purple
Positivity on Beer Belly Sports Radio Network, brought to you
Buy it up The Avenue Pizza before pizza became trendy.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, back and betterish than ever.
I'm just an exter him and this is Purple Positivity
brought to you by Seventh Avenue Pizza. Love that shit,
as my buddy Vince Wright says, get you some. They're
seven Am Pizza the best. It is the best breakfast
pizza on the planet, frozen style. Anyway, of course, anyway,
(00:37):
here we go, how do we make this positive? Vikes
lose twenty two to six. Sunday night football looked all
sorts of discombobulated or just bad offensively, defensively, just did
not look good at all. That's rough. Then you who
(01:00):
put the cherry on the top with all the injuries,
so that makeshift offensive line did not work. Giving up
was six sacks. I think there was six sacks and
just Man basically got JJ McCarthy hurt. So it's the
(01:21):
most expensive offensive line in all of football, and we
haven't been able to put all of them on the
field yet. At the same time, and it got the
twenty two year old just became a father injured, So
(01:41):
he didn't look all that great. JJ McCarthy, I'm talking
hey having a little trouble getting on the same page.
I think he's but he had a guy in his
lap all night long, so you can't get too mad
at him for that. But now he's out. He's got
a high ankle sprain. Looks like it happened when he
got all that strip sack, and that was part of
(02:03):
three fumbles that he had lost one and he had
the interception.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Those were rough.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I think the one quarter of football that we got
from him is enough for us to believe that he
will have a chance to succeed in the NFL, like
one good quarter we had from him out of the eighth.
But I'm telling you right now, if I did my
job one eighth of the way decent and the rest
(02:31):
was total trash, a lot of people around me that
were watching me do my job might not like it.
Like my buddy's roof in a house, if they only
roofed one eighth of that house for you know, like
really really well, and the rest of it was total trash,
I don't think they're going to be starting on that roof.
(02:52):
I don't think people are gonna go with them. So
football is a little bit different. Of course, you pay
for what you think you're gonna see, pay for potential,
and you look for potential. Speaking of potential, golden child
of NDSU, Carson Wentz Pennsylvania once referred to when he
was in Pennsylvania Wentzburg, he's he's the starter. Now how
(03:19):
many quarters are we gonna see of him before things
get abysmal? And then we go to Brock or Rosmer.
I don't know why is it Brock Brosemer? I I
think Wentz definitely has to be the starter, just because
Kevin O'Connell loves people that have been in the league.
(03:42):
That's why he sticks with guys, you know, happy signing
cam Akers Day to all that celebrate. He just likes
guys that know his system, that can that have experience
in the system, have experience in the NFL. That's just
who he's gonna go towards. Doesn't quite have that yet,
and he's been with the seconds and the thirds the
(04:04):
whole preseason, So I mean, you can't just throw that
kid in there. He's way above what everyone thought right now,
I mean, now he's number two on the depth chart,
so slawyer role mcceffrey, gotta go Carson Wentz with this one.
And it's not the easiest matchup in the world except
(04:28):
the Bengals offensive line is absolute Swiss cheese too. They
spent all sorts of cash for everyone except for their
offensive line that's supposed to protect their very expensive quarterback.
While they're very expensive quarterback will also be out. I
think he's going to be out three to five weeks
(04:49):
something like that. That turf toll, when you have surgery
on it, it takes a little bit more. Remember, Antonio Gates
was probably gonna be one of the greatest tight ends
of all time, and he dealt with turf toll four
for like forever, do you get a surgery, do not
get surgery. Ultimately, the Bengals decided, let's give him that surgery,
turf toe and three to five weeks. So sometimes I've
(05:13):
said this before, and I'll say it many many more times.
Sometimes it's not who you play, it's when you play him.
Right now, Week three, you get the Bengals at home,
that crowd is gonna be going crazy. But now we're
looking for the CBS number one team coming in for
a Carson Wentz versus, why is it escaping me?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
The dude from Montana that the the Vike's had for
a while, Browning, Jake Browning, Wentz Browning fun fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Man. Aaron Jones is out, he's on the IR now. CJ.
Ham still on the IR.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I have no idea what we can expect from that
running game moving forward, unless less that offensive line can
get together, if we can have all five starting pieces.
I'm not sure the injury report, the recording of this,
I'm not sure how the Friday practice is going or
the injury report. What's gonna happen there. You hope that
(06:16):
you have Kelly in there, but Darisa, he's gonna have
to come back because I think school's out.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
So man, school did cool?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Look rough Man for there's no lack of puns there,
So we'll just say school is bad. And now Darrisa
comes in one of the top three highest paid left
tackles in the business, and having them all together is paramount.
(06:47):
I hope Mason continues to run the way he's been running,
because he's averaged about four and a half yards a clip,
which is fantastic. It's just that works a lot better
with somebody like Aaron Jones that can catch out of
the backfield where he can, you know, just kind of
interchange guys and have fresh legs.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
We kind of knew this was gonna happen where one.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Or both or we're gonna be hurt during the season.
That's just the way it is. And that's why they
went and got him from San Francisco and you know,
made sure that he was there. So I think he's
gonna have to have himself a day. But the Bengals
(07:32):
are susceptible to giving up the yards through the air.
It's I hope Carson Wentz can just show a little
bit of flashes, just a little bit of what he
was during that season that he does most of the
leg work, and then Nick Foles comes in there and
kicks serious ascid wins a super Bowl. So I think
(07:55):
Carson Wentz should be able to do enough. It's that
defense that's kind of scaring me.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Again.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Everybody seems to be hurt all the time. Cash Ban
out obviously, Akuda, I think he's out. We got a
few other Isaiah Rodgers, like all these guys are all
getting injured at the same time.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The positive part of.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It is it's now and not Week thirteen, Week sixteen,
week God forbid, Week eighteen, because you gotta keep it together.
These next three games are very, very important. You got
the AFC North, where you get the Bengals here, and
(08:35):
then you get the Browns and Steelers across the pond.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So ah, man, I.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Think it's gonna be really really important to get off
to a hot start. The Vikings have not got off
to a hot start yet. Those scripted plays whatever it is,
just don't seem to be working. Those three and outs.
I think that changes. I think we're gonna start seeing
a little bit more of an urgency. We're gonna see
(09:04):
a little more of relying on the run game and
then do a little bit of just a little more
play action. Wentz should be able to move the pocket
just enough where he can find JJ wide open. And
another positive note of my friends JJ or Jordan Addison
(09:30):
is coming back. So JJ is gonna get somebody that's
gonna keep the heat off his back.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And we've got that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Quickness, that elusiveness, the one two punch, whatever you want
to call it. Love having Adam Feeling here, but he
has been absolutely non existent. Either it's Father Time being
undefeated or he's just not that in tune quite yet
with the offense, which you would think he would be.
(09:59):
But I'm more privy to go towards the Father Time
is undefeated, like none of us get out of this live.
So of course Adam Feeling is gonna be showing how
long he is in the tooth when he comes back here, right,
That's just the way it goes. So what you know,
I'm kind of he han around this in my head.
I've predicted both times. I thought the Vikes were gonna win,
(10:22):
and I thought it was gonna be fairly decisive. So
you know, normal me would just pick them to lose
in this one. But I don't think they lose this game.
I think there's still three and a half point favorites
for a reason because Carson Wentz is gonna do just enough.
That defense is gonna make Jake Browning hate his life.
(10:44):
If that offensive line can't protect they're million dollar man,
They're they're one hundred, they're nine hundred million dollar man.
Whatever Joe Burrow got paid. How are they ever gonna
protect Jake Browning and Browning. You remember he had some
flash he can play in the NFL. He's just not
that every week starter guy. And Brian Flores is going
(11:09):
to absolutely release the fury. Unleash the fury, and I'm
excited to see it because I think it's time. I
think that defense has done enough where both these games
they have kept the opposing offenses out of the end
(11:30):
zone for the most part. It's just that middle of
the field they tend to give up that yard it's
so easy, and big third down conversions they tend to
just give them up. Every once in a while, the
super big ones they'll body up and they stop them.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
But I think this is a team.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
That is going to rely on the offense a little,
but they depend on that defense like that. The defense
is their main identity as of now. Ryan Flores, he's
gonna have a scheme together where Jake Browning is just
gonna be running and hopefully he doesn't get hurt. I
don't want him to get hurt because I want him
(12:10):
to stay in there and continue to throw the ball away.
That's what we need. So what are we gonna go here?
What's the prediction here? I think the Vikings win it's
gonna be somewhat of a battle, and I'm gonna go
low scoring because I've got a little higher scoring the
last two. So let's go seventeen fourteen Vikes win. They're
(12:31):
gonna get some first half points, They're going to get
a touchdown in the first half.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I just know it. I feel it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I feel it in the pit of my stomach. I
just feel it, and I just hope that it happens
the way I think it will. I think they're gonna
get out to a decent lead, that defense is gonna
be hell for Browning. That home crowd's gonna be just
(12:57):
rocking because then we won't see them for a little
while because we got the two over the Pond games
and then the bye, so it's one of those where
this is the last home game for a little while.
I hope that crowd is just juiced right a role,
because this is it's about as big as a game
(13:19):
Week three can be, because two and one is a
lot better than one and two going across the seas
with you know, Wwennsylvania, count Wennsylvania. If he's thrown in
uh Ireland and London. So I'm I'm hoping, I'm hoping
(13:42):
it's good. I think it should be good. I want
to say special thanks to Matt Jeffrey, Beer Belly Sports. God,
those guys are funny. I I fucking love those guys
way too much, man, Like I shouldn't any like a
I'm not even middle aged anymore. Like I'm I'm late.
I'm on the back nine, No back nine, dude should
(14:03):
love those other dudes as much as I do. You guys,
keep doing your doing your best. Fans, stay stay with us, man,
stay with us. It's I think the Vikes will give
us something to cheer about this weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I know it's easy to be doomy and gloomy because
it's foggy all the time. Right now, it's a little
too hot, and we look towards the Purple to give
us some positivity. But right now, I just hope the
crowd can keep them in this enough and catapult them
to a win. I think Kevin O'Connell will have something
(14:38):
special offensively for Wentz and a few of those guys.
I think Mason has a big day, I honestly do,
as long as he stays in there. And I think
Mason will do just enough and get get them kind
of rolling, and then Justin Jefferson does this thing. I
hope this offense goes off because their prime, they're prime
(15:01):
to go off against a defense that is just.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Susceptible. And then that offensive line of the Bengals is
just rough. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They got Joe Burrow killed, so hopefully they can get off.
Hopefully they can get about five or six sacks on
Browning because there's a few guys from the rushing the
edge rusher position that are in that rotation. It's time
to see them van ginks out. So we got to
see some Dallas Turner. Man, we gotta see we gotta
(15:31):
see you flash it. Come on, man, we're laying down
the gauntlet. We want to see it. Your first round pick,
let's do it. You're supposed to be the best defensive
player in that draft.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Let's show everybody. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm so excited to see what you can do. Once
you start doing what I know you can do, all right,
that will end it. I think the Vikes wins seventeen
to fourteen. It's going to be close. Gonna be a
nail bier again as usual, and as always, skull bitches

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I know it's easy to be doomy and gloomy because
it's foggy all the time. Right now, it's a little
too hot, and we look towards the Purple to give
us some positivity. But right now, I just hope the
crowd can keep them in this enough and catapult them
to a win. I think Kevin O'Connell will have something
(14:38):
special offensively for Wentz and a few of those guys.
I think Mason has a big day, I honestly do,
as long as he stays in there. And I think
Mason will do just enough and get get them kind
of rolling, and then Justin Jefferson does this thing. I
hope this offense goes off because their prime, they're prime
(15:01):
to go off against a defense that is just.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Susceptible. And then that offensive line of the Bengals is
just rough. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They got Joe Burrow killed, so hopefully they can get off.
Hopefully they can get about five or six sacks on
Browning because there's a few guys from the rushing the
edge rusher position that are in that rotation. It's time
to see them van ginks out. So we got to
see some Dallas Turner. Man, we gotta see we gotta
(15:31):
see you flash it. Come on, man, we're laying down
the gauntlet. We want to see it. Your first round pick,
let's do it. You're supposed to be the best defensive
player in that draft.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Let's show everybody. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm so excited to see what you can do. Once
you start doing what I know you can do, all right,
that will end it. I think the Vikes wins seventeen
to fourteen. It's going to be close. Gonna be a
nail bier again as usual, and as always, skull bitches

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
