  Speaker 2: Hello, Chatty, Chatty.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Last week we brought a real positive vibe in what
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: most people believed to be a very negative moment. And
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: do I think that we're the reason that we turned
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it around in greater fashion than any first team since
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: what did they say? Two thousand and nineteen ninety two?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: J What was it? Tell me?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The date?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Jay decades to have been you know, shut out and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: then they turn around and shut someone else out. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: by the way, our shutout was better than their shutout
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: thirty one versus twenty six out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Do you know that if we combined the last two games,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we would have won both of them thirty one to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: twenty six.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I mean have won both of them thirty I just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: think that a Obviously, our positivity played a huge role
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the win.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: No question, you don't believe in wishful thinking, think again.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, he just Jay also just said, it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the first time this last two weeks is the first
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: time since ninety two that it was the Broncos. They
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: got shut out one week and then they shut a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: team out the next week. And we are airing on
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a Thursday, and we're on the best sports station in America.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So people, I'm sure that's been brought up, and we're
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sitting here like, let me tell you something.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, it's just on repeat for all week.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But secondly, I think we both know that I am
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a disgusting enough level of superstitious that I'm gonna probably
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: run a very similar format back this week.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Let's but here's the thing, it's a lot easier to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be positive than it was last week. It's also Cowboy week,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: which is such an interesting week for a fan of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: my generation. So you grew up, like you're like in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: my dad's generation, Chad, you grew up with.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: This, shut your dirty mouth. I grew up when we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: got herschel Walker and they won a bunch of Super Bowls.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: That's when I was growing up.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But genuinely for the audio or the fan that are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: older than us, I think they have this relationship with
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, this negative disdain that I think a lot
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of people of our generation don't like the Cowboys because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, the fans, everything that goes into it. But
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: for them, it's the Hail Mary game sure, and feeling
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like we got robbed of our best team ever. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for our dad's generation, this rivalry hits a lot harder.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So when I was talking to my dad about this,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: he cares more about this game, I think, than I do,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: even in a season where we are not way up
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in the standings.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Right, I care about this game a ton too because
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if you're going to fact check
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this or what you're going to say about it, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I heard, okay, I heard Also the herschel Walker trade
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the reason we lost the North Stars. Yeah, they also
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: gave him the North Stars. I heard unbelievable. Norm Green
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: comes down from Calgary, when was it nineteen ninety one,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: buys the team. They go and make a Cinderella run
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: ninety three playing the Calgary Flames, end up going down,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and he sells the team in ninety five for eighty
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: four million, after he bought it for thirty one million.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Get out of here, seems.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Let's get let's get that conspiracy up on YouTube because
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think it'll run wild.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I would love it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I got to my dad has told me about that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Dallas game, because Jay can probably answer the years correctly,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: but I believe it was. It was three super Bowls
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in four years, so yeah, it would have been the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: seventy five season. It was the seventy six super Bowl.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: It's seventy four, seventy five. They don't go in seventy six,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they go in seventy seven. And I recently got to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: spend some time with fran Tarkentin, which this chad, This
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: dude is wild. He is so impressive. He's eighty five
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: years old. He seems younger than you. And I'm not
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: even doing a Chad's old joke. I'm just saying he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is more cognitively available than I believe you are.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, no question his recall.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He sits and tells stories, and he does that thing
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in each story. Well, he'll tell a story and he'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: mention a quarterback and be like he was drafted here
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and he did that, and you're like, how do you
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what car we came here in. How
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: do you know this stuff? Yeah? And that game is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like this really interesting, remarkable moment. And fran had said
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that he believes that was their best team. It's the year,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the year they're like, you're great. But
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it's to the point where Chuck, you know, Drew Pearson
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and Chuck Foreman, they got into an argument, like a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: like a real argument on the local radio station here,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: kfe An. It's that is for that generation, this is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: such a heated vibe. And I think for our generation,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all we think about is like you remember when Randy
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Moss went down there in Thanksgiving and smacked the turkey
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: out of their mouths. That is my only connection to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I have no vitriol, I have no nothing
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: except for what was genetically passed down.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I here's what I have. I remember
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: watching herschel Walker and thinking like this is this is
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the greatest athlete in the whole wide world. Yes, And
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: then they were like, we're gonna trade a bunch of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: stuff for him, and I was like, yes, please, I was.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, like my dad and his friends
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: were all mad, and I'm just like, you guys sit
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and wait for it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Do you think in the history of people who were
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: confident in stuff like where on the guy who said
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the Titanic would never sink? Was your confidence? Because people
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: who don't remember the origin story, you were a herschel
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Walker fan, right, That's like one of the things that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was keeping you a football fan as a little kid. Right,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So when they made that, like what did that do
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to you? Like you there couldn't have been anybody more
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: confident in anything than that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was so excited. Ninety two Fergus falls Otters
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: go down to uh the Metrodome to play and I
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: remember that I had just quit the year before because
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was a receiver and they wouldn't
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: throw the ball, and so I started boxing, and so
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I got to go down and watch all my friends
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: play on the field that herschel Walker played on. It
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: was pretty unbelievable. But I named my first car herschel Walker.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Anytime there was a snowdrift that people were having trouble with,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I would just take my nineteen eighty Dodge Omni made
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of complete metal and bust through it, and everyone in
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the car would yell herschel Walker.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy, yeah, and much like that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Dodge Omni, it didn't after that. It's not like, yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I don't need to we don't need to continue the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: car metaphor. The point is it didn't pan out. But
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: those are the three pivot moments Drew Pearson push you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the Hail Mary that play, the invention of the Hail Mary,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the herschel Walker trade, and Randy Moss smacking the turkey.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: What I will say about Cowboys fans is I find
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: them to despite me not having any vitriol towards the team,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I find them to be one of my least favorite groups. Really.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I got a whole bunch on top of
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the Cowboy fans, but keep going.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But it's not a personal thing. I just have one
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: really close friend who's a die hard Cowboy fan, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: through him, I know a lot of Cowboy fans, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I think each I've said this a lot on the show,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: each fan base has their own kind of personality, right
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Like Pittsburgh Steelers fans literally believe that they worked hard
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to earn their team. They think that they act like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: they manual labored a football team into existence, were built
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of Steelers down at the factory and nets a welcome
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to steel City. Baby Packers fans are like the trust
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: fund kids who crashed a car and the next day
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: their daddy gets them a new car. But they think
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: everybody is mean to them. They got a victim complex.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: They also think they own their team. And I know
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are about to crash their cars
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: right now listening to this, but you don't if you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: do make a trade.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Well, Bill's fans, now we could talk about fan base.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I like, Bill's fans are like your wildest uncle at Thanksgiving. Yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and I know I'm not talking about like the political
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: discussions that are often talked about in pop culture around
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: thanks Eving. I'm talking about that uncle that you had
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that you're like, I don't know what's gonna happen this year.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna show up with six dogs for some reason,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Willie park his truck on the lawn? Yeah, what's he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: gonna say to my aunt at dinner?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Like, they're your buddy that started drinking sophomore year and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they were like, I bet you I could run through
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: this brick wall. It doesn't matter if I die. It's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: gonna snow too much tomorrow. That's a Bill.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: That's a Bills fan, So they are a wild card uncle.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But I find the Cowboy fans are a lot like
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: we both grew up in small towns and I'm ready
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to get the messages from this. But Cowboy fans are
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: like the forty two year old that's wearing his letterman
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: jacket to the diner.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Well that's Texas football anyways.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Dude, the guy who is twenty five and was still
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: picking up like seniors to go bowling, You're like, you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: gotta let you're coasting acting cool. All that coolness happened
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so long ago. Just because you put the jacket on
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you were a part of the Troy
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Aikman thing. You gotta so like their superiority complex being
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: based on so far in the past and so many
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: teams being so good sense and them not having done anything.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Is this one friend in particular who does listen to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: this show and you can eat it, Eddie. It is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a tough thing to be around.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a lot of Uncle Rico's cheering for
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys, where you just asking me, like, I could
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: throw this football over that mountain right now if I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: wanted to.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Literally, Jay just texted us. You and Jay have a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: very similar mind frame. He just texted, they are the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Uncle Rico.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Whoa And I don't get the text. Yes, don't get
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the text.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: They come straight to me.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I've tried to give Jay my number several times. Won't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: take it, won't save it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: We got to talk about the actual game itself. Lost
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in the whole Chad, we we got shut out and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: then we shut somebody. Is a fun development for me,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and it is the rise of the defense.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You know obviously the big discrepancy and turnovers from last
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: year to this year. But man, this last two weeks,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the way they played because Washington, you know they're not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a nothing burger, and how well they played even in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that loss in Seattle, I just think you're seeing some
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: things that are remind you why, whether you know we
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: end up getting there, which it's looking bleak or not,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: but like, why so many people had such positive feelings
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: about the team going into the season when you see
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that full defense. Of course, healthy Andrew van Ginkel is
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: an absolute beast. This dude might be when you just
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: watch him. I did this a couple of times on Sunday,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: like when they had the wide screen. I was like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna watch Andrew van gin I'm not even
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: gonna watch the play, and he just moves like somebody
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: who has studied more for one game than I've studied
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: for everything total in my whole life.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't do many impersonations, but here's my impersonations
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of offensive coordinators when they're playing the Vikings when Van
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Ginkle is healthy. Okay, guys, no screen passes this week?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you? That's it. Those are my notes.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, how does this guy keep plucking them? And b
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: how are you not aware of that? Yeah? I, Or
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: how about let's throw the screen pass? You know, let's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just take an extra two yards backwards. I know it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a backward pass. If he drops it, it's a fumble.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But this dude's gonna pick it off if we drop
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: too far forward on a screen. We got to stop
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It's incredible. I was watching the Vikings game with I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you a very negative human being, and it's
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it's fun to see a defense that's so good that's
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: actually making negative people positive because I remember Washington's offense
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: comes out and you're like, what's going to happen and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: my buddy goes, no, no, no, watch this and it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: was right three and out. I mean, it's like, so
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: this defense is turning people into believers. And then as
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: far as Minnesota sports fans go, that is a very
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: hard thing to do.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And it's an excellent opportunity because you got this week.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I believe Dallas is the number one overall offense. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: believe they're the number one passing offense. I think the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Vikings are like and number four against the past. So
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this is this is your test. This is regardless of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: what happens the rest of the year, this is your
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the defense gonna look like next year?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Some of these guys that some people had hard feelings about,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: let's see. Let's see now that everybody's playing well, how
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they hold up against the best offense in the league
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: from a passing standpoint, and I cannot quait. I've been
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: telling people to chill out on these harsh Dallas Turners take.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I think he was. He's twenty one. He was three
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: years younger than Jared Verse. He's still today today, on
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this date right now, is younger than most of the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: guys drafted that you all were mad about that he
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't playing as well as in a way more difficult defense.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: He's got some crazy amount of hurries, pressure sacks in
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. This dude, Like I've been saying, Chad,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I've been insane. What you really need? What did we
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: talk about last off season? It was the trenches. We
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: went out and we got all these We went out
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and got all these guys, you know, some friends. We
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: did all this stuff. But I'm telling you, if you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: walk out of this year and Donovan Jackson is as
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: good as I think he is, and Dallas Turner comes
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: alive as I think he's going to, brother, that is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a launching pad for the future. It is where football
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is won. And if you put pillars on each of those,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: if Donovan Jackson is that good, and you got him
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and darisof for the future, and you can partner Dallas
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Turner with Van Ginkel and Grenad Let's go. Yeah, Like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: all this negativity that I myself have even been feeling,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: flips real quick, and.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: We can see you guys. Yeah, we can see most
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of these guys this Sunday night against Dallas. And I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: just so excited because I don't think I had seen
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the double duce Harrison Smith come in from the edge
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: so many times as he did last week. Maybe he
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: has been, maybe I'm just not paying attention, but it
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: was so fun to see him scaring the hell out
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: of the quarterback and I think, I think it's gonna
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: be great. Now, I'm gonna tell you something. Let me
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: ask you. This is Cede Lamb. Is he out of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: concussion protocol? I don't pay attention anymore to other teams
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: players because I'm out of my fantasy football playoffs, even
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: though I destroyed everybody in my division, but my record
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't going enough to make a.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm telling you, come to the dark side,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: join the chop, become a Guillotine League guy. We can
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: get I bet Zach Martine would do it. I bet
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: our boy Bozman would do it. Tim Harmston, all people
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: who've been on the show. We could have a Vikings
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Tailgate Fantasy League guillotine style. You gotta stop playing this
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: regular fantasy football. It's for Schma.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Answer my question.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Jay can tell us if I mean, we're putting a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Jay today. I'm just spitting Jay.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Do our job, Jay, go learn our stuff. Find out
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: about Ceedee Lamb. I hope he's not in concussion protocol.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I want him. I want to see it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I want I want it to be. Give me all
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: your web best, give us the number.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see where we're going from this point forward.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Give me the best team in the offense or in
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the league that's the best at throwing the football.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Completely agree.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Lamb is listed on the per Jay on the latest
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: report right a day before this show comes out. It'll
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: come out tomorrow morning. This is he's listed as limited limited. Now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a big week
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: for Justin Jefferson. Can I can I make the case?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So he had so two catches for eleven yards
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: last week. Frustration, but I got Can I tell you
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: something that I'm very impressed with tell other people are
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: catching the ball in the end zone and he is
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: one of the first people over there smacking butts and
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: hitting helmets, and I mean it's very impressive. Everyone's talking
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: about always so frustrated this and that do. He's also
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: obviously a huge team leader.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It was very clear last week, even for a stupid
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: guy like me who doesn't know football, that they were like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is not going to beat us. He is not.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you have that many tight end receptions
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and touchdowns, it's very obvious they are taking something away.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna see that exact same approach.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: If I'm a defensive coordinator, I'm not doing that. I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: gonna let Justin. I'm gonna let my guys play Justin Jefferson.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play my records. I think if you try,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: this team is too good that if you put all
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that effort in, KOs is too good of a play caller.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And last week's seeing JJ just drop back first read
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: open guy, Like, when you do everything you can to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: take away JJ, inherently, it's like when you're on a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: fast break in basketball, if you're committing or you're double
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: team in a basketball you're committing two guys that inevitably,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: if I can move the really fast, you're in trouble.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And that's what last week looked like. And at the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: end of the game, they were trying to get him
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a touch, they were trying to get him some love,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and so I think he is going to absolutely eat.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I know we're not at the prediction section yet, but
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking seven, eight, nine catches, one hundred and fifteen
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and forty yards and a touchdown or two.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I think, justin Jefferson, especially with Ceedee Lamb on the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: other side of the field, I think whatever these last
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: few weeks have been, I think you're gonna see the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: cup boil over.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm gonna go ahead and write this
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: down and I'm gonna give this to everybody I know
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that has Jefferson in their league still that made the playoffs.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And you're doing that because you just want to push
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: me under the bus if it doesn't happen, because that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: that's what it feels like. You're saying.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I love sending people your way when you're wrong.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, am I winning you over with my caseoute.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I mean you can tell right with these little these
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: little stop routes right on the sideline that they're trying
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to get him, you know, the ball immediately and then
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: let him be an athlete, and so I think they're
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: gonna figure out a way to get him because you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it's like tight ends going across the field. It's like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: body shots in boxing, right, You're just like chopping the
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: tree down, and eventually they're gonna have to they're gonna
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: have to guard their their trunk, and then you just
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: throw a haymaker. And that's Jefferson for seventy.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I would love I would love a seventy in the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: end zone. I just think you just I don't care
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: how much you're struggling. I don't care what sort of
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: offensive line. Justin Jefferson is just too good. There's gonna
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: be a point where it doesn't matter who's throwing the ball,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: who's protecting the person throwing the ball. You just it's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: just gonna bubble over. I'm just guaranteeing it. What do
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you can we do? Uh, let's just jump right into it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Let's do predictions. Let me get your score, let me
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: get your player prediction, and then we'll do the personal predictions.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, my score. Now, as you know, we were shut
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: out two weeks ago and then we applied a shutout
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: this last week. So I am going to say that
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think we can do two shutouts in a row.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Cowboys one somehow Minnesota Vikings
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: fifteen hundred.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I assume they'll get a safety and then they'll
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: take one of those points away for excessive celebration or
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: some new rule we're not aware of.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, smart, I.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Think the Cowboys are a much better offense than you're
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: giving them credit. I'm gonna go Cowboys three, Vikings one
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm gonna stick with Jefferson. I'm gonna say
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's the breakout Jefferson game. It's the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: game where everybody sees he and the quarterback on the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: same page. I'm all in on Jefferson, all right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the the entire offensive line giving
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: up one sack or less.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Ooh, I enjoy that me too.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for it to come true.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Personal prediction. I am in the final four of Paul
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the League with the great Paul charging he got kicked
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: out very early. But I've never been to the final
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: four in a chop league before. I've taken it a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: level of serious that is pathetic. And yes, the biggest
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: spend all year of my free agency fictional dollars was
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: on Justin Jefferson a few weeks back. And so I'm
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: predicting either my other prediction comes true and I'm just
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: an awesome guy to be around, or it doesn't come
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: true and I'm a really tough guy to be around
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: on a lat of levels.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: My personal prediction is Jefferson gets all your points, but
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: you still take fourth.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Ah, that would suck. Appreciate you doing the show. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: would really like that not to come true. Thank you
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to everybody for listening. We appreciate it each and every week.
