• 4:20
  Parent teacher conferences wrapped up very quickly tonight.
• 4:23
  We're grateful for that.
• 4:24
  Yep.
• 4:24
  Yep.
• 4:25
  Nope.
• 4:25
  Kids doing good in school.
• 4:26
  Outside of that, it's always good to sit down, talk some football.
• 4:31
  Hey.
• 4:32
  Pick up a new game of golf.
• 4:33
  Why not?
• 4:34
  Talk about that a little bit, but definitely give a lot of insight.
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:39
  Talking about a man with another great report card.
• 4:42
  Coach Cody, how are doing, brother?
• 4:44
  Doing great, man.
• 4:45
  Doing great.
• 4:46
  I'm blessed.
• 4:47
  Excited for new endeavors, and hopefully, you're gonna sharpen up my golf game here
• 4:53
  coming up.
• 4:56
  Well, speaking of golf game, we got newest addition to the Scene Project Sports Network
• 5:01
  family, Shady Grady.
• 5:03
  What is up, my guy from Shady Golf on YouTube?
• 5:06
  Ryan Grady, welcome into the show, man.
• 5:09
  What's up, guys?
• 5:10
  A pleasure to be here, man.
• 5:12
  It's it's good to be in purple and gold.
• 5:14
  It's it's good to be
• 5:15
  in purple and gold.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:19
  Even though you probably root for another NFC team, that's okay.
• 5:24
  Oh, yeah.
• 5:25
  They they we're making a comeback.
• 5:26
  We're we're basically irrelevant until just now, so I'm cool with it.
• 5:30
  Yeah.
• 5:30
  No.
• 5:30
  We're good.
• 5:31
  So,
• 5:33
  Ryan, do you mind share do you mind sharing a little bit about your experience?
• 5:38
  Because as as Vikings fans, we can commiserate with just about anybody, but you're down there
• 5:42
  in North Carolina.
• 5:44
  Obviously, the panthers have been through a lot these last few years.
• 5:47
  Can you share your experience as a season ticket holder there in Carolina?
• 5:53
  Oh, without a doubt.
• 5:55
  Without a doubt.
• 5:56
  First off, you know, the slogan is keep pounding.
• 5:59
  Keep pounding, which is bad advice to somebody who likes drinking after college.
• 6:05
  So I grew up, you know, loving the two thousand four panthers, which if, you know, even if our
• 6:13
  crowd might even be that old.
• 6:15
  If you don't remember, that was the Super Bowl that Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's
• 6:19
  Jackson's top off.
• 6:20
  Yes.
• 6:22
  God.
• 6:22
  I think was a reason I loved that game.
• 6:25
  Even yeah.
• 6:26
  As a kid, it was like, are why are we a Panthers fan?
• 6:30
  Like, I don't know.
• 6:31
  Because that was a rough game.
• 6:32
  John Casey kicks it out of bounds.
• 6:34
  Tom Brady's born.
• 6:35
  You know, that was the second one at that time.
• 6:37
  Yep.
• 6:38
  But, I mean, that is what?
• 6:40
  A ten year layoff?
• 6:41
  People forget Jake Delone went on, like, this crazy six game spree where he threw, like, five
• 6:46
  long.
• 6:47
  Holy cow.
• 6:48
  But we called him Bojangles down here, bro.
• 6:50
  That was, like, his slogan.
• 6:51
  Like, hey.
• 6:52
  Do you see what Jangles did last night?
• 6:55
  It's like, that was literally what we called him.
• 6:57
  So ten years passed, I think, and then we draft Cam Newton.
• 7:01
  And I remember telling my dad, I was like, this is gonna change everything, and it did for the
• 7:05
  most part.
• 7:06
  And 2015 was awesome being in college for that whole experience.
• 7:10
  But, you know, they went to the Super Bowl in 2015.
• 7:13
  That was rough.
• 7:14
  But, yeah, after that, got season tickets in 2019, and that was the year everybody retired.
• 7:21
  So, like, everybody just decided to leave the stadium that year.
• 7:23
  Luke retired.
• 7:24
  Greg retired.
• 7:25
  Cam left.
• 7:26
  Charles Johnson.
• 7:28
  And I sat there and drank my way to, about what?
• 7:31
  Like, seven and nine season.
• 7:34
  And that was our hot horse.
• 7:38
  But, no, the Vikings are always good.
• 7:39
  We got more Viking van than you think down here.
• 7:41
  We got a lot of stinking Vikings travel good.
• 7:44
  Vikings.
• 7:45
  Yeah.
• 7:46
  I think Brett Farb is what built that down here.
• 7:48
  Everybody was like, yeah, Brett Farb.
• 7:53
  That was all I cared about.
• 7:54
  But as soon as he put all the purple and gold, everybody was like, I kinda like the Vikings.
• 8:00
  Oh, it's funny how sports fans are, man.
• 8:04
  I love it.
• 8:05
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  Well, Shady, pleasure to know you.
• 8:09
  Just to introduce my guys a little bit, b is a former, semi pro, baseball player, turned
• 8:16
  podcaster with the coast to coast network, and now has kinda brought a lot of his shows and
• 8:21
  his talents over here to scene project sports network, SPSN officially.
• 8:28
  Cody is a coach of, like, 17 different teams, mostly football, but he's got some baseball
• 8:34
  experience behind him as well.
• 8:37
  And, yeah, we're we're just couple of couple of guys that just love love talking sports, love
• 8:43
  getting together once a week at least to do this.
• 8:45
  And now, hopefully, we all get a chance to get on the golf course together one day.
• 8:50
  But, yeah, we we had plans to do some golf content this year.
• 8:54
  That's what kind of inspired me to reach out to the reach out to Shankit and become an
• 9:01
  ambassador for that company, which is where we met.
• 9:05
  You know, posted something out into the, like, the ambassador, you know, Facebook group.
• 9:09
  And Shady was the first one that was like, oh, hell yeah.
• 9:13
  Let's do this.
• 9:14
  Finally, somebody that gets it, man.
• 9:16
  We're just trying to shoot some content, have a good time getting out there.
• 9:19
  He was obviously doing a little bit on his own, but, you know, he's gonna get us out on the
• 9:23
  course there in North Carolina.
• 9:25
  We're gonna shoot some great content and put it out there.
• 9:28
  On our new home of the scene project sports network on True TV plus available on Roku,
• 9:34
  Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.
• 9:37
  We're we made it, boys.
• 9:39
  We made it.
• 9:40
  Mop.
• 9:41
  Mop.
• 9:41
  Let's go.
• 9:43
  That's hype.
• 9:43
  We're Honestly, this
• 9:45
  is just a start too.
• 9:46
  So
• 9:48
  I'm into that.
• 9:49
  The hell out of here, Kev.
• 9:51
  Yeah.
• 9:52
  Kevin is a big I was
• 9:54
  wondering where he's gonna pipe in here.
• 9:55
  He's just waiting.
• 9:57
  He's buying his time.
• 9:59
  Yep.
• 9:59
  Buying his time.
• 10:00
  It's all good, man.
• 10:01
  All good.
• 10:02
  So, yeah, kinda got our introductions out of the way.
• 10:05
  Shady format of the show is pretty loose.
• 10:08
  We often spend a little bit of time talking about Cody's several teams that he coaches
• 10:13
  sometimes.
• 10:14
  They had a big win in their first preseason game with the Wyoming cavalry.
• 10:19
  They whooped ass on this team.
• 10:22
  One fifty six to nothing.
• 10:24
  Yep.
• 10:25
  Yep.
• 10:26
  Yeah.
• 10:27
  And, you know, that it's just crazy.
• 10:31
  Just tells you what kind of players that we have.
• 10:34
  You know, like I told you guys, last week before the game, you know, we had training
• 10:41
  camp, and we probably had ten days before the first game.
• 10:45
  Didn't practice between there.
• 10:47
  I'm I had the starting quarterback and, two starting wide receivers with me along with the
• 10:53
  defense.
• 10:53
  So, I mean, it's not like they were practicing with the offense over in Gillette.
• 10:58
  So for us to come in, and gel that quickly, literally just pregame warm ups, getting,
• 11:05
  getting that chemistry down what we could and dropping 56 and not giving up anything.
• 11:11
  Just wait till we start practicing.
• 11:13
  It's gonna look nasty.
• 11:15
  Well, yeah.
• 11:16
  I mean, I like that game and, you know, one thing with the real football, Cody, you know,
• 11:21
  you just be on the defensive side.
• 11:23
  But you're hyped up with the offense, did some good stuff.
• 11:26
  I saw you jumping around with your team.
• 11:29
  You know?
• 11:30
  Yeah.
• 11:30
  It might have been a preseason game, but, I mean, you're you're not holding back to bring
• 11:35
  that chemistry there.
• 11:36
  You're not just sitting out with your defenses boys.
• 11:38
  You're getting in there with the offensive guys and hyping them up and stuff like that.
• 11:42
  So definitely, you know, yeah, I can't wait to see this team in full throttle making the march
• 11:50
  every week.
• 11:51
  Absolutely.
• 11:52
  I love it.
• 11:52
  I love it.
• 11:53
  It's close to the field as I can get.
• 11:55
  I always joke around with the players.
• 11:57
  I'm like, don't don't go ahead and piss me off because I'll bring out the cleats and the
• 12:01
  shoulder pads.
• 12:02
  I'm still I still got it, but
• 12:03
  good control.
• 12:04
  That'll probably be Dwayne Johnson and Gridiron gang where he pulls them up and calls them out.
• 12:09
  Yep.
• 12:10
  Yep.
• 12:10
  But they know I'm bluffing because I'll end up in the ER real quick.
• 12:15
  But, you know, I I just I love it.
• 12:17
  You know, especially,
• 12:18
  like got the big you got some big boys to back you up.
• 12:21
  So if we did Yeah.
• 12:22
  Facts.
• 12:24
  But just VR too.
• 12:25
  Maybe not for football, for for my wife beating me down.
• 12:29
  So Yep.
• 12:31
  It's just it's just
• 12:33
  out of his seat, and he caught an elbow.
• 12:35
  Yeah.
• 12:36
  Yeah.
• 12:37
  I just you know, I I love it.
• 12:38
  You know, most of these players have been with me for going on three seasons now just
• 12:42
  traveling, with me team to team.
• 12:44
  And so just seeing them grow, seeing them, you know, pay, play and get paid and just elevate
• 12:51
  and still perform.
• 12:52
  They're having fun.
• 12:53
  I'm having fun.
• 12:54
  We're gonna just keep on rolling.
• 12:56
  That's Now, Shady, you got a little bit of experience in the sports world as well.
• 13:03
  Now it started at an early age for you.
• 13:06
  You wanna talk about that experience a a little bit as we're kinda introducing you to the gang
• 13:11
  and all of our fans?
• 13:13
  This little turd right here.
• 13:16
  That's what I love the stories because as soon as you said he played semi pro, I was like, we
• 13:21
  got some stories.
• 13:22
  And then you said getting paid, and I was about to ask the question, How much did y'all get
• 13:25
  paid back in the day?
• 13:26
  Because I remember how much we got paid per game, and it was, like, $30.
• 13:31
  $50, maybe.
• 13:33
  No.
• 13:33
  It was it was paying to play for me.
• 13:35
  So, yeah, I never got For me, it was paid to play as well.
• 13:40
  Oh, no.
• 13:40
  That yeah.
• 13:41
  That's yeah.
• 13:42
  So when I was 12, I, we got lucky.
• 13:46
  I mean, we were a small town.
• 13:47
  We had never our town had, like, a city unit that put together an all star team.
• 13:53
  And, normally, we played U Trip and stuff like that growing up.
• 13:56
  It was 2004.
• 13:58
  So we decided we were gonna play Little League one year because we started watching the Little
• 14:02
  League World Series, and turns out we were good enough, and we made our way to Little League
• 14:07
  World Series.
• 14:08
  And 2004 was also the same year.
• 14:11
  We lived with Jerksen Broufar and Jonathan Scope on the other side.
• 14:15
  So like, Caribbean was on the other side, but Randall Grichick was there.
• 14:18
  Campordo was there.
• 14:20
  A couple other people played.
• 14:22
  But I'm the same age, went on, played high school and stuff like that and went to college,
• 14:26
  but I played Juco.
• 14:28
  And, of course, Bryce Harper is the same age as I am.
• 14:32
  So if you go look at that home run derby that made Bryce famous, he actually didn't win that
• 14:36
  home run derby.
• 14:37
  Randall Grichick won that home run derby.
• 14:39
  So we're all, like, intertwining through this thing.
• 14:41
  Eric Sims is my age.
• 14:43
  I actually ran into Eric Sims at a home run derby in Charlotte this past summer.
• 14:48
  I was throwing to him and, like, Austin Schultz and college burnout stuff.
• 14:52
  Like, fair fair warning there.
• 14:54
  I I threw to him, but let's be real.
• 14:56
  Going yard didn't call anybody for BP.
• 14:58
  So I ended up going, hey.
• 15:00
  I used to play.
• 15:01
  You know that mistake.
• 15:02
  You know that mistake.
• 15:03
  They called me on it, and I had to go.
• 15:05
  And I then I had to throw seven guys.
• 15:08
  I I think I drove home with my left arm, bro.
• 15:11
  Like, I don't think I drove with my right
• 15:12
  arm for a while.
• 15:14
  Yeah.
• 15:15
  That's one thing I could never do.
• 15:16
  I could never just do bad at practice.
• 15:17
  It was either hard or nothing for me.
• 15:19
  You know?
• 15:20
  So king of BP.
• 15:21
  I had to learn from Jack Leggett, the, you know, Clemson's old coach.
• 15:25
  That's what they used to call him after his Little League World Series days was just BP.
• 15:30
  Yeah.
• 15:31
  Gotta watch the film, bro.
• 15:33
  Yeah.
• 15:33
  It's rough going no.
• 15:35
  We came in third.
• 15:36
  We beat Japan.
• 15:37
  Hey.
• 15:37
  USA.
• 15:39
  USA.
• 15:39
  Hey.
• 15:40
  Let's go.
• 15:40
  Let's go.
• 15:41
  Riding the wave.
• 15:43
  But, no, man.
• 15:44
  That's I I wish down here we don't have a, like, a pro team.
• 15:48
  There, you know, the talks are up for Raleigh maybe getting a chance, I think Tennessee's
• 15:52
  also got a chance for it.
• 15:55
  Baseball team.
• 15:56
  Yeah.
• 15:56
  Baseball team.
• 15:58
  But that's about as far as we go as Atlanta.
• 16:00
  I don't think they have 30 teams right now.
• 16:02
  So if they brought them in, I think they would bring in two.
• 16:04
  They bring in
• 16:05
  two.
• 16:06
  Yeah.
• 16:08
  Tennessee, think, saw the nationals in talks.
• 16:11
  I think Carolinas, I think, are talking about it.
• 16:14
  Of course, they're always talking about relocating a couple teams, you know, and those
• 16:19
  same shitty get brought up there.
• 16:21
  So
• 16:22
  I what was the oh, crap.
• 16:26
  I lost train of thought.
• 16:27
  Oh, no.
• 16:28
  No.
• 16:28
  No.
• 16:29
  Guys two guys y'all know.
• 16:30
  Okay.
• 16:31
  Minnesota, I coached a kid.
• 16:33
  After I got done playing, I ended up coaching a high school up at the college I was at at
• 16:37
  Western Carolina.
• 16:39
  Zeb Matthews plays for the twins.
• 16:41
  Yep.
• 16:42
  Coached him.
• 16:43
  Little boy.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:44
  He was just a kid, like, five two, about a hundred and twenty pounds when I had when I saw
• 16:48
  him.
• 16:49
  But, he's doing great.
• 16:51
  The other man the other guy, you got the jersey behind you.
• 16:54
  It took over his home run record, our coach Cal.
• 16:58
  So I had him when he was in high school.
• 17:00
  And I was
• 17:00
  the only one Okay.
• 17:02
  Yeah.
• 17:02
  I was the college kid who alright.
• 17:05
  Full disclosure, I was drinking too much.
• 17:07
  And I lived with the d one football guys, and they were like, you need to go do something.
• 17:10
  And I'm like, alright.
• 17:11
  Fine.
• 17:12
  So I'll go slap you in the face and coach the high school team.
• 17:15
  They kept talking about this kid named Cal Raleigh showing up.
• 17:18
  And I was like, does he have I was like, does he have a dad?
• 17:21
  Of course, he has a dad.
• 17:21
  I was like, what's his dad's name?
• 17:23
  And they were like, Todd Raleigh.
• 17:24
  Todd Raleigh coached to Tennessee.
• 17:25
  So I was like, oh, shit.
• 17:28
  Looks like looks like I'm gonna have to throw this year.
• 17:30
  Like, Jesus Christ.
• 17:31
  He was a horse.
• 17:32
  Yeah.
• 17:32
  And then wasn't his brother the catcher in that home run derby too?
• 17:35
  So, like
• 17:36
  Yeah.
• 17:36
  TJ.
• 17:37
  I got video of TJ on my YouTube if you go to my YouTube, but he was on Western taking BP.
• 17:44
  He's a good ball.
• 17:45
  Great
• 17:46
  kid.
• 17:46
  That's awesome.
• 17:47
  Yeah.
• 17:47
  Kyle should've won that BP.
• 17:49
  I'll just say that right now.
• 17:50
  I
• 17:51
  agree.
• 17:52
  You saw he already hit a home run today.
• 17:54
  Yeah.
• 17:55
  Yeah.
• 17:55
  I got a buddy that's a big Seattle fan, and he was just like, I'm not watching baseball.
• 17:59
  Cal doesn't win the world's or MVP.
• 18:01
  Well, the
• 18:02
  first time I saw him play was in the playoffs.
• 18:06
  I didn't watch a lot of baseball this year.
• 18:08
  I watched a little bit of the Cubs and Brewer series from my family.
• 18:11
  It's from the Chicago area, so grew up Cubs fan.
• 18:13
  But we don't get any of the games online, and I'm not paying for marquee until they're, like,
• 18:17
  contenders.
• 18:18
  Right?
• 18:18
  And so we were we happen to I think I was going to pick up my boys.
• 18:24
  So we were out in the middle of the state.
• 18:25
  His mom was late as usual.
• 18:27
  And so we went to the local bar, and they had the the Mariners game.
• 18:32
  Where who were they playing?
• 18:33
  Was that the Blue Jays they were playing against?
• 18:36
  Yeah.
• 18:36
  Long story, Joe.
• 18:37
  That was
• 18:38
  Yeah.
• 18:38
  Well, it was one of it was one of it was the game that went to, like, the seventeenth inning
• 18:42
  or whatever.
• 18:42
  Right?
• 18:43
  I feel like last the
• 18:44
  whole time we were there, we ended up leaving before it even before it got over.
• 18:49
  But, yeah, man, that he is a big boy.
• 18:52
  He is not a small human being.
• 18:55
  Bro, he
• 18:55
  showed up he showed up to Western up there, and I wanted to look at him so bad.
• 18:59
  And I was like, you didn't wanna call a fastball right then, did you?
• 19:03
  You didn't want to, did you?
• 19:04
  How I couldn't do it.
• 19:05
  I was like, I know he's but he's over it.
• 19:07
  He's good.
• 19:10
  What's up with, Chelsea Chicago is talking about moving what?
• 19:14
  Are they moving locations football wise?
• 19:16
  So I I I would say that it's about a 70% done deal that they're moving.
• 19:22
  Oh, yeah.
• 19:22
  Yeah.
• 19:23
  Well, they've been looking for a new place.
• 19:24
  So this has been ongoing, Shady.
• 19:26
  Grew up a bears fan.
• 19:27
  Just recently kind of changed teams and came over with my guys and started rooting for the
• 19:33
  Vikings.
• 19:34
  I mean, I was kinda rooting for the Vikings for the last seven, eight years with my wife
• 19:38
  anyway, except when they played the bears.
• 19:40
  Right?
• 19:40
  So it was an easy transition when the bears were absolutely atrocious, and it's nothing but
• 19:44
  drama over there.
• 19:45
  This stadium issue, no different.
• 19:48
  They've been talking they bought the old racetrack.
• 19:50
  There was an old racetrack in Arlington Heights, and they bought the land out there,
• 19:54
  like, five years ago.
• 19:56
  And with plans of this big stadium and everything, it's a Northwest suburb.
• 20:00
  They bought the land, and they've been trying to get out.
• 20:03
  And the city of Chicago because they don't own their stadium.
• 20:06
  The city of Chicago
• 20:07
  owns Georgia.
• 20:08
  You know?
• 20:08
  They rent it to them.
• 20:09
  Right?
• 20:10
  Okay.
• 20:10
  So they got no money.
• 20:11
  They're losing billions, right, over the span of time.
• 20:14
  And what had happened was that they couldn't come to an agreement to do anything on the
• 20:19
  city.
• 20:19
  The city property just isn't good enough, and the city's not gonna sell it to them because
• 20:23
  one, why why would they?
• 20:25
  Right?
• 20:25
  Because they would be losing the revenue.
• 20:27
  So I it really didn't make any sense.
• 20:29
  So they said, okay.
• 20:30
  Screw you.
• 20:31
  We're gonna bounce and, you know, go buy the stadium.
• 20:34
  Well, they couldn't get the sales tax and property tax to do it.
• 20:40
  So they wanted to start charging them property tax as if the stadium was already built right
• 20:46
  away.
• 20:47
  So they wanted them to start paying the billion dollar, you know, property tax
• 20:52
  Yeah.
• 20:52
  Before they ever broke ground on it.
• 20:55
  And they're obviously like, yeah.
• 20:56
  We're not doing that.
• 20:57
  Right?
• 20:57
  Like, we
• 20:57
  need some assurances to do it.
• 20:59
  This is how big business is done, especially on projects like this.
• 21:03
  And the I mean, Illinois' political without taking this into the Patriot Broadcasting
• 21:07
  Project.
• 21:08
  Illinois' freaking political system is a shit show.
• 21:11
  Democratic run state, corrupt as can be generationally at this point.
• 21:17
  J.
• 21:17
  B.
• 21:17
  Pritzker's an asshole.
• 21:20
  You know, the mayor the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, is an idiot as well.
• 21:25
  I mean, these people are just they're schmucks, man.
• 21:27
  And and not it doesn't matter who what a political party they affiliate themselves with.
• 21:33
  They're just not great people.
• 21:34
  Right?
• 21:35
  And the Chicago is Chicagoland stretches into Indiana.
• 21:43
  Right?
• 21:43
  Like, Gary, Indiana is part of Chicagoland.
• 21:45
  It's right there.
• 21:47
  So, yeah, I mean, no surprise that eventually you just go over to the neighbors and be like,
• 21:52
  hey, man.
• 21:53
  I can't build a pool over here, but I wanna build the biggest, baddest motherfucking pool
• 21:58
  that you have ever seen in your life.
• 22:00
  Can I build it over on yours?
• 22:02
  And and the neighbor's like, yeah, man.
• 22:04
  Like Makes sense.
• 22:05
  We're open.
• 22:06
  Yeah.
• 22:06
  So Indiana, it's just passed.
• 22:08
  I mean, they got on it quick.
• 22:09
  They went through their congress.
• 22:10
  They got all the things passed.
• 22:12
  Yeah.
• 22:12
  Bring them on in.
• 22:13
  Bring them on in.
• 22:14
  I I mean, you're talking about a multibillion dollar operation
• 22:17
  Oh, yeah.
• 22:17
  That this is and and the tax revenue that it's going to generate for the state of Indiana.
• 22:23
  Good for them.
• 22:23
  Indiana's got two teams now.
• 22:25
  True story.
• 22:26
  Well and that's the whole thing.
• 22:27
  It's gonna be weird to see the standings and not see Chicago bears.
• 22:32
  You know?
• 22:33
  They're always gonna be the Chicago bears.
• 22:34
  Like, the name isn't changing.
• 22:36
  Just because
• 22:36
  I'm sorry.
• 22:37
  I think that's fair.
• 22:38
  Change it.
• 22:39
  No.
• 22:39
  No.
• 22:40
  They are the Chicago bears.
• 22:41
  They're not changing their whole brand.
• 22:43
  They're just changing the location.
• 22:44
  I mean, look at look at the New York teams.
• 22:46
  None of their New York teams play in New York.
• 22:48
  They all play in Jersey.
• 22:50
  That's true.
• 22:51
  You're right.
• 22:51
  You're right.
• 22:52
  You're right.
• 22:53
  New Jersey.
• 22:54
  That's another one.
• 22:55
  That's crazy die hards.
• 22:58
  Well, that's just like looking at the baseball that's in Oakland.
• 23:01
  I'm so used to seeing Oakland a's, and now you don't see that.
• 23:04
  I mean, that's,
• 23:05
  you know Yeah.
• 23:05
  That was a little culture shock.
• 23:07
  I mean, the naughty's baby, and that one kinda like Ricky Henderson, everything.
• 23:11
  It's Yeah.
• 23:12
  So they're they're in Vegas now officially.
• 23:15
  And where did they go?
• 23:17
  Their stadium's done.
• 23:18
  They were just doing that once or two season.
• 23:20
  Yeah.
• 23:20
  I think I I don't know if it's officially done yet, but I don't even
• 23:23
  follow the a
• 23:24
  They're they're they're gonna be in Vegas.
• 23:26
  And
• 23:27
  and I gotta I gotta my coat my head coach my head baseball coach is from high school.
• 23:33
  His kid who was in diapers when we were playing is in the Oakland a's or was is in the
• 23:38
  athletics, I say, farm system.
• 23:41
  So he plays for their Las Vegas triple a team.
• 23:44
  Alright.
• 23:44
  Now it'll be a
• 23:45
  short That'd be crazy.
• 23:46
  The call up.
• 23:48
  Yeah.
• 23:48
  I don't know.
• 23:52
  Stadium beat Rob beside the Jackson.
• 23:54
  You you really don't think that they're hold on.
• 23:58
  You really don't think that the bears will change their name?
• 24:01
  No.
• 24:02
  They are the
• 24:02
  Chicago they'll change their name.
• 24:04
  I think they'll change
• 24:05
  land.
• 24:05
  It's not like they're moving to Southern Indiana.
• 24:08
  They're literally going right across the street.
• 24:11
  Like, the if the border is a street, they're going from here to here.
• 24:17
  It's still in Chicagoland.
• 24:18
  Like, they call it the region.
• 24:20
  That Northwest Side Of Indiana considers itself more Chicago than Indiana.
• 24:27
  Right?
• 24:28
  So it's not as big of a move as everybody's making it sound like to the people that are
• 24:33
  there.
• 24:33
  Right?
• 24:33
  And, actually, it probably makes it easier to get to for a lot of fans that don't like, you
• 24:39
  have to understand.
• 24:39
  Most of the people that are going to bears games do not live in the city of Chicago.
• 24:44
  They live in the suburbs.
• 24:45
  Right?
• 24:45
  People who live in the city can't fucking afford to go to a bears game.
• 24:50
  True.
• 24:54
  We call the Chicago Moonwalkers, and the fans will go, he hee.
• 24:58
  He scored touchdown.
• 24:59
  Oh, god.
• 25:00
  Keith.
• 25:02
  Hey.
• 25:02
  That wasn't bad.
• 25:04
  That was good.
• 25:04
  I've been
• 25:05
  working on that shit.
• 25:06
  I had to grab my nuts when I hit it.
• 25:09
  I've been working on that shit.
• 25:11
  Own it, Bubba.
• 25:11
  Own it.
• 25:12
  All day.
• 25:12

• 25:16
  You don't know, but he's got my cell phone number.
• 25:18

• 25:19

  AutoCorrect.

  That will be up there.
• 27:38
  So putting together a foursome and, you know, throwing it out here.
• 27:42
  Really excited about just being a part of the family.
• 27:45
  And they kinda have been, obviously.
• 27:47
  They they sent me a nice little care package before we did the PGA event, but they're a
• 27:52
  local I mean, to me, local.
• 27:53
  Right?
• 27:53
  They're a North Dakota company.
• 27:55
  And the same way I kinda feel about all of us up here, the Upper Midwest, you know, we root
• 27:59
  for a lot of the same teams, a lot of Vikings fans in North Dakota as well.
• 28:04
  Right?
• 28:04
  You know, North and South Dakota don't have our own professional teams in any of the, you know,
• 28:09
  big three or, you know, really anything.
• 28:12
  We do have a USHL team in South Dakota in Sioux Falls, the Sioux Falls stampede, who actually,
• 28:19
  gold medal winner Jeremy Swayman was a member of that team just a few years ago.
• 28:23
  So shout out to USA, winning gold, beating the Canadians both in the men's and the women's.
• 28:29
  Feeling a
• 28:30
  top world as far as hockey fans.
• 28:31
  Man.
• 28:32
  I'm still holding good.
• 28:34
  Both of them was incredible, but that girl that women's goal, that's fucking highlight reel for
• 28:39
  the next century.
• 28:40
  Yes.
• 28:41
  Absolutely.
• 28:42
  Absolutely.
• 28:43
  Just seeing defenseman, long pass.
• 28:46
  It just, that move was so smooth.
• 28:49
  Like, she she had she had been working on that.
• 28:52
  Those that's one of the moves that they're like, yeah.
• 28:54
  I've been working on that.
• 28:55
  Just waiting to pull it out.
• 28:57
  I was gonna say, because she didn't even know she was gonna beat I mean, she did, but she
• 29:00
  did.
• 29:00
  She threw it 100% trust, and that was gonna work.
• 29:03
  And that's you know, as an athlete, you're like
• 29:05
  Right there.
• 29:07
  That's that muscle memory.
• 29:08

  that knuckle ball that you've been sitting on for five years.
• 29:17
  Right?
• 29:17
  The the fifth year senior that's like, man, if I if I throw that heater at at 89 miles an
• 29:24
  hour, the they're gonna gas this just like what happened to Shady in his career.
• 29:29
  I gotta come with some I can make it move.
• 29:31
  That's what Shady said.
• 29:32
  I did.
• 29:33
  I did.
• 29:35
  I'm gonna keep the staff.
• 29:37
  I'm sharing all of his secrets right out the gate.
• 29:40
  I'm sorry.
• 29:41
  We've been we've been talking a lot on the phone lately, but Shady was telling me about
• 29:46
  his his scouting experience, getting scouted by it was someone from the braves, wasn't it?
• 29:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 29:53
  It was the shortest lived experience in Pro Bowl I ever had.
• 29:57
  You're a cup of coffee.
• 29:58
  Right?
• 29:59
  Man, he can't yeah.
• 30:00
  It did take five seconds.
• 30:01
  He comes down and caught my bluff, like, 93 or so showing up on the gun.
• 30:05
  That guy finally come out of the top.
• 30:06
  He comes down, asked one question.
• 30:08
  He said, can you make it move?
• 30:09
  I said, hell yeah.
• 30:11
  I go to the catcher.
• 30:13
  I can't make it move, bro.
• 30:15
  I'm just gonna throw a slider as hard as I can.
• 30:18
  Just make it look like you frame it good.
• 30:20
  Okay?
• 30:20
  Because this is gonna be, like, 87.
• 30:22
  This ain't this ain't a fastball.

  The foursome has to have a woman.
• 31:18
  I was gonna have Danielle do it, but I guess, Shady, if you can wear a wig, you're coming
• 31:22

• 31:24
  Shades of beard.
• 31:25
  Got you.
• 31:26
  Hey.

  How, how's everything going with all your other jobs?
• 31:39
  Going well.

• 31:51
  And I haven't heard one person speak up because I got the dome light on because I'm either
• 31:56
  reading, like, the workbook or writing in the textbook, taking notes along with the video.
• 32:01
  Like, even that video, sometimes I'm like, maybe it's too loud,
• 32:05
  but fuck it.
• 32:06
  Like, they're done.
• 32:09
  Yeah.
• 32:09
  You start talking shit, and your ass is gonna get benched.
• 32:12
  So I I think they know better.
• 32:14
  No.
• 32:15
  Yeah.
• 32:15
  I mean, I'm running I'm running straight, but, you know, they I like to have a little fun, so
• 32:21
  it it is what it is.
• 32:22
  But they I just shout out to them because, I mean, I can't sleep with the light on and a
• 32:28
  sound going on.
• 32:29
  Just one voice constantly can't do it.
• 32:36
  Well, what do you think, fellas?
• 32:37
  Should we get into, talking a little bit of ball tonight?
• 32:41
  I I think where we should start off is definitely, with these young men who
• 32:46
  unfortunately lost their lives, you know, this week, from there.
• 32:52
  B, you got some more on, these players?
• 32:55
  Yeah.
• 32:56
  So I don't have much on Whitaker.
• 33:00
  You know, I let's see here.
• 33:03
  Where did I see his age?
• 33:08
  I think it was in his mid forties, but yeah.
• 33:14
  I haven't heard the update on how he passed, but former Viking, I think he only spent four
• 33:22
  years in the league.
• 33:24
  But, you know, but the the touching one was the Ron Del Moore passing 25, I think he is.
• 33:36
  So, you know but some some demons got to him, and it sounds like it was a self inflicted
• 33:44
  gunshot.
• 33:45
  So that one that was definitely a tough one there.
• 33:51
  But, coach, what do you I mean, what you thinking when you saw the
• 33:56
  news?
• 33:56
  Absolutely.
• 33:59
  Rondell Moore one, you know, it was shocking.
• 34:03
  You know, obviously, anytime a player takes his life or a person takes their life, it's just,
• 34:12
  something you never wanna hear that you wanna see come across your phone, notification,
• 34:16
  everything.
• 34:17
  I saw it, and I was like, wow.
• 34:19
  I read into it.
• 34:20
  And then, you know, I just thought about his career, past couple years.
• 34:25
  You know?
• 34:26
  You know, he's been on the team for, on the Vikings for two years, but Yeah.
• 34:30
  Yeah.
• 34:30
  Last year, you know, hurt in the preseason out for the year, or maybe it was, like, game one.
• 34:38
  And then same thing happens this year, and, you know, that does a lot to a player, a person
• 34:45
  mentally.
• 34:46
  You know, you do everything you can to come back from this injury.
• 34:50
  You think you're good.
• 34:51
  You're so optimistic about the next year, and excited to have the same thing happen.
• 34:58
  You know, that sets you back.
• 34:59
  And then considering, you know, everyone knows the NFL is a business.
• 35:03
  Mhmm.
• 35:04
  You know?
• 35:04
  So what have you done for me lately?
• 35:06
  So, I mean, all that takes a a toll on a person that puts so much pressure on these players.
• 35:14
  Man, it's just it's just sad.
• 35:16
  I think, I think the NFL should be doing a better job, you know, with the topic of mental
• 35:24
  health with their players.
• 35:25
  Good.
• 35:26
  Because I feel like what they're doing is just, to make themselves look good.
• 35:31
  But, I mean, you're hearing different players left and right.
• 35:34
  Like, man, that the the league doesn't really care.
• 35:41
  You know?
• 35:41
  They're all about the dollar bills, and I'm just not about that.
• 35:45
  Shout out to coach Tony O'Neil, my dog.
• 35:49
  Much respect, much love.
• 35:51
  You know what I'm talking about.
• 35:52
  We're we're the coaches that you know, we we actually love our players.
• 35:58
  We actually care about them.
• 35:59
  You know, I just I was at the MOA last night on the phone with the player shopping when, the
• 36:05
  girl was shopping, you know, for an over an hour just to you know, he wanted someone to
• 36:11
  talk to.
• 36:11
  So that's that's me.
• 36:13
  And I'm I'm busy, but I'll always answer a phone call for a player.
• 36:17
  Yep.
• 36:18
  Granny, what's your thoughts on the two former, young guys that, you know, passed away these
• 36:25
  last couple days from Minnesota?
• 36:27
  Yeah.
• 36:28
  My my story, I was an alcoholic, so I had to get my own form of help.
• 36:35
  And as an athlete, when it all ended, I had trouble with that of the identity crisis.
• 36:41
  So I know.
• 36:42
  You know, you never know.
• 36:43
  It can be even still playing, you know, and the injury's playing on it.
• 36:48
  It could be anything, but the hardest part for me was asking for help.
• 36:52
  So, I mean, if if it is going on or anything because you do feel alone as a man, you know,
• 36:57
  and as an athlete, you're about as strong as you can be in some of them moments.
• 37:01
  And the higher the level, the more training, the better in shape you are, the less room for
• 37:05
  error.
• 37:06
  So you feel alone, but you're not.
• 37:09
  So I get it.
• 37:10
  I get it 100%.
• 37:12
  And I wish I wish some you know, I wish we could have been there, but, you know, just hope
• 37:17
  he's alright.
• 37:18
  Hope he's in a better place.
• 37:19
  Yep.
• 37:20
  You know?
• 37:21
  Absolutely.
• 37:22
  Get, man.
• 37:22
  Well, and that and that and that's the thing too is
• 37:25
  So You know?
• 37:25
  I'm trying to be there for everybody, help them out.
• 37:28
  And, yeah, it's tough to I mean, we've all maybe gone down some dark roads.
• 37:33
  I know I have in my personal life.
• 37:36
  And Yeah.
• 37:37
  We've all missed it.
• 37:37
  And I've got help and stuff like that.
• 37:41
  But, yeah, definitely, you know, anybody that's out there struggling watching the show, you
• 37:45
  know, hit us up on Facebook.
• 37:47
  I mean, message us.
• 37:48
  Just you know, we might not know you, but, you know, a lot of us will sit there and listen and
• 37:53
  try to direct you to the best we can.
• 37:55
  So
• 37:55
  You know, we all, like, make good friends.
• 37:57
  You know what I'm saying?
• 37:58
  Yeah.
• 37:59
  Yeah.
• 37:59
  Exactly.
• 38:00
  And and I think in the world today, you can't have enough friends you can't trust.
• 38:04
  Mhmm.
• 38:04
  You can trust them.
• 38:06
  Yeah.
• 38:07
  So but.
• 38:09
  Amen.
• 38:10
  Alright.
• 38:11
  So Yeah.
• 38:12
  Tragic stuff there.
• 38:13
  We hate, hate to see it.
• 38:15
  And, obviously, with my affiliation with Operation Combating Veterans Suicide, it's not
• 38:20
  just veterans that we care about.
• 38:22
  It's everybody.
• 38:23
  You know?
• 38:24
  And I think we you guys touched on it beautifully there.
• 38:28
  B, you know, if you are struggling, plea please reach out to somebody.
• 38:33
  You know?
• 38:33
  Oh, yeah.
• 38:34
  If it's us, it's it's about us all, man.
• 38:37
  This is the past.
• 38:38
  I've had better life.
• 38:39
  I mean, I don't mind sharing my story with people that wanna know.
• 38:42
  I mean Same.
• 38:44
  You know?
• 38:44
  But, definitely, Randall Moore was the son.
• 38:48
  I really liked him.
• 38:49
  He really was.
• 38:50
  He was a dog.
• 38:51
  Just like Teddy.
• 38:53
  Like, just bad luck, man.
• 38:55
  And that's all thing.
• 38:56
  He could be a dog on a team you don't like, but, hey, you still got the respect for him.
• 39:01
  So
• 39:02
  Thanks.
• 39:02
  It's all love at the end of the day.
• 39:04
  You know, I tell my players, whether they stay or they go, it's love on the way in, love on
• 39:10
  the way out.
• 39:11
  It's always gonna be like that.
• 39:13
  So
• 39:14
  Right.
• 39:16
  Yeah.
• 39:17
  Tough to see.
• 39:17
  Alright, b.
• 39:18
  What else you got?
• 39:20
  Oh, that's it's a multiple.
• 39:22
  The cause of death for Riddick is unknown.
• 39:24
  But so yeah.
• 39:27
  So let's, just like I said, anybody struggling, reach out to somebody.
• 39:33
  Mhmm.
• 39:34
  So
• 39:35
  Yeah.
• 39:35
  Well and big prayers up for their families and everybody kinda left behind in that situation.
• 39:41
  And, yeah, a a lot of just heartbreaking, man.
• 39:46
  We hate to see it.
• 39:47
  These are still young men, and I think, you know, we don't know what was going through
• 39:53
  their head, but, you know, you kinda touched on something there, shady, with the identity
• 39:59
  crisis.
• 40:00
  Right?
• 40:00
  Yeah.
• 40:01
  And the financial crisis of it as well because when you're hurt, you're not getting paid.
• 40:06
  You're not making money.
• 40:07
  And maybe you went and got you know, maybe you went out and act like you had it all before you
• 40:12
  did.
• 40:12
  Right?
• 40:13
  You signed that contract, maybe got some bad financial advice, underwater on a home,
• 40:18
  underwater on a car that you can't afford, and all of these things bearing down on you and
• 40:22
  knowing that you may never play again in the league, you know, whatever those injuries may
• 40:26
  be.
• 40:27
  And and you kinda counted your chickens before they hatched, right, which I think is a story
• 40:33
  that is, you know, kind of across all the leagues.
• 40:36
  Right?
• 40:36
  I I think you see it a little bit more maybe in basketball and football where you where you
• 40:41
  have, you know, young men that are coming from cultures and from areas that financial literacy
• 40:47
  isn't taught, right, and isn't necessarily learned from the family.
• 40:53
  And you get a a lot of, you know, I mean, I'm shitty with money.
• 40:58
  Right?
• 40:59
  Like, I I would have been the first one to sign a contract, and I I would have been underwater.
• 41:04
  Right?
• 41:05
  You didn't get out, man.
• 41:08
  So I can, you know, kind of relate to maybe some of the financial difficulties that these
• 41:15
  young men go through, and it's tough.
• 41:17
  You know?
• 41:17
  You're a 19, 20 year old kid getting you know?
• 41:20
  And even some of these rookies, I mean, obviously, the first rounders are getting a lot
• 41:24
  more.
• 41:24
  It's almost easier for the guys that are taken later in the rounds, I feel like, because you
• 41:28
  have to kind of work for it.
• 41:30
  You come into the league a little bit slower rather than you know, we talk a lot of,
• 41:34
  obviously, here about Jordan Addison and the troubles that he's had over the last several
• 41:38
  years to where you come in and you come into the league and you're kinda given everything on
• 41:45
  a silver platter and you kinda come from nothing and even I know there's NIL money in in
• 41:50
  college sports now, but you come from nothing to all of a sudden having a couple $100,000 in
• 41:56
  the bank and no one above you, a mentor, a financial, you know, adviser, or anything
• 42:02
  that's really there to to support you in that situation, and you're one injury away from your
• 42:08
  career being over.
• 42:10
  Hey.
• 42:11
  Quickly, shout out to my boy, Owen.
• 42:14
  Hey.
• 42:14
  Simpler times, baby.
• 42:16
  Oh, man.
• 42:17
  We an inside joke.
• 42:19
  We used to drink that all the time when we were younger.
• 42:22
  Yeah.
• 42:23
  Shout
• 42:23
  out to him, Nava.
• 42:24
  It's been a minute, man.
• 42:25
  Much love to you.
• 42:26
  Hope you're doing alright.
• 42:27
  Awesome, Owen.
• 42:28
  Thanks for tuning in, brother.
• 42:29
  We appreciate We appreciate you.
• 42:32
  Alright.
• 42:32
  Well, to turn off the somber moment once again, you know, prayers out to the families of these
• 42:39
  young men.
• 42:40
  And if you're struggling, please reach out, and don't be afraid to reach out to us here on the
• 42:46
  show.
• 42:47
  The DMs are open here.
• 42:48
  We're always willing to give a few minutes to someone in need, and it's gonna be a big part
• 42:54
  of what we do moving forward, obviously, with operation combating veteran suicide.
• 42:58
  But sports and our military and music, like the world that I come from, To me, it all goes
• 43:04
  together.
• 43:04
  Right?
• 43:05
  It's not I'm not this the only one who's connected in all of these things.
• 43:08
  So, yeah, let's talk some ball, fellas.
• 43:12
  I think I wanna hit a little let's have a little break here.
• 43:16
  Hit a little break zone.
• 43:17
  I wanna run a commercial from another sponsor of ours.
• 43:21
  Of course, Pillars of Valor is with us.
• 43:22
  You're gonna see their commercial at the end, though.
• 43:27
  But a big shout out to someone who's kinda made this tour that I'm going on a possibility.
• 43:32
  It's called Pure and Easy Tea.
• 43:34
  So Pure and Easy Tea is a American company who's made some really great stuff.
• 43:40
  I actually got one of their bags here, this bag of Soothe.
• 43:43
  This stuff's gonna get me by when I'm on the road talking twelve hours a day and freaking
• 43:48
  singing if at night for my supper if I have to because this tour didn't necessarily get all
• 43:54
  the support in the world that I was hoping it would.
• 43:57
  But they Carmine Del Sorti and his company have done an bang up job of doing it with us.
• 44:04
  And, yeah, we're gonna get a lot more stuff going on with them in the future as well, not
• 44:09
  just on the music side, but hopefully, we're able to bring them in to the to the sports side
• 44:15
  as well.
• 44:16
  But, Pure and Easy Tea, big shout out.
• 44:20
  Sorry.
• 44:20
  I I was slow on getting their, thing loaded up here.
• 44:24
  So my, I am really bad on the homework today, guys.
• 44:27
  Sorry.
• 44:28
  Busy guy.
• 44:29
  It's fine.
• 44:30
  Got you.
• 44:30
  As long as it's about me, we're Gucci.
• 44:32
  I I do well, I had four interviews today and then a couple other meetings besides that.
• 44:41
  And, yeah, I do do a lot.
• 44:43
  I I but then every time I think I'm busy, I see Cody's schedule.
• 44:47
  And I was like, no.
• 44:48
  I could do more.
• 44:50
  Alright.
• 44:51
  Little shot of your here in easy tea, and then we will be right back with some draft profiles
• 44:57
  of some wide receivers and tight ends that may be on the Vikings' big board.
• 45:04
  Imagine capturing the raw essence of nature with its infinite color and beauty.
• 45:12
  Now, envision turning that into something truly transformative.
• 45:18
  Pure and easy tea cultivates the goodness of nature's bounty into fuel for your body.
• 45:25
  We are what we drink.
• 45:29
  Pure and easy tea, the pure nourishment your body craves.
• 45:40
  Once again, big shout out to Pure and Easy Tea, and, thanks for sponsoring the show.
• 45:46
  Boys, what do you think is the biggest necessity for the Vikes the draft?
• 45:49
  D line, D back.
• 45:51
  Oh, and we went deep into this last week.
• 45:54
  Think I'll
• 45:54
  test the line.
• 45:55
  Yeah.
• 45:56
  I well, he said in the draft specifically.
• 46:00
  So and for me, and I kinda iterated to it quite a bit last week on the show, but I I think D
• 46:07
  back is where they go.
• 46:09
  Maybe their first two picks in the draft this year.
• 46:12
  I I I think that you're getting some value there, and I don't know that they're picking
• 46:17
  high enough in the first round to get a top flight o lineman.
• 46:23
  So that kinda pushes you into where the draft board is falling.
• 46:27
  And even according to kinda the big board, you know, the the top 100 on ESPN, where the
• 46:31
  Vikings are picking, there's gonna be some really quality defensive backs, whether it's
• 46:36
  cornerback or safety in that.
• 46:37
  So for me, in the draft, I think it's defensive back for sure.
• 46:42
  I I think overall, though, the draft yeah.
• 46:45
  I think I go defensive back, defensive line.
• 46:47
  But I think Bubba, I think you nailed it a lot last week.
• 46:51
  They have to hit on, like, 90% of these draft picks.
• 46:55
  They have to be on the roster this year, next year, their their career.
• 47:00
  I mean, they they have to hit on this draft.
• 47:02
  Yeah.
• 47:03
  I think that's the biggest thing.
• 47:04
  Your late round guys aren't gonna be starters, but they need to be special teams contributors.
• 47:09
  Right?
• 47:09
  Like, they need to be on this roster and on this team because the team has to get younger.
• 47:13
  It has to get younger.
• 47:14
  It has to get cheaper.
• 47:15
  You're you're starting the league year off $50,000,000 over the cap.
• 47:19
  Right?
• 47:19
  Like, you have to make some major moves.
• 47:21
  I'm really surprised that there hasn't been announcements from the Viking with the with the
• 47:27
  Jesus.
• 47:27
  I heard that from here, Cody.
• 47:29
  That
• 47:29
  was really bad.
• 47:31
  It's like 10 times a day every day.
• 47:35
  It's all the stress.
• 47:36
  So you think you wanna be a football coach,
• 47:38
  With the with
• 47:42
  the Vikings, like, I can't believe that they haven't.
• 47:45
  The league year starts in a week.
• 47:47
  Like, March 1, they have to clear $50,000,000 in cap in a week.
• 47:52
  Like, I just surprising that it's taking this long.
• 47:55
  Here's I mean Go ahead, Shady.
• 47:58
  Go ahead, Shady.
• 47:58
  I was gonna say, I just looked at this.
• 48:00
  So I've asked three questions in my head.
• 48:02
  First one was, why does this draft order remind me of the Jamarcus Russell draft?
• 48:09
  Because it looked very similar.
• 48:11
  And then I looked at it.
• 48:14
  It's not that close.
• 48:15
  There's a couple differences, but it's not that close.
• 48:17
  Then I was like, well, what draft is this like?
• 48:19
  And it said 2021 and 2024, and y'all drafted JJ McCarthy in 2024.
• 48:25
  What happened?
• 48:26
  Now the panthers are drafting after the vikings in '19.
• 48:30
  What happens if Ty Simpson falls to the Vikings and the Panthers?
• 48:35
  JJ McCarthy gets injured a lot.
• 48:38
  We could say that there's a possibility.
• 48:39
  Why not?
• 48:40
  Because, I mean, the Falcons did it with Penney.
• 48:42
  Offensive line.
• 48:43
  I mean
• 48:45
  you know, mean, I I mean, that's the big thing.
• 48:48
  No matter who your quarterback is, you have to have somebody that protects them.
• 48:52
  So Yeah.
• 48:52
  I But I think the bike would pass.
• 48:55
  To answer, Owen's question, I think it's gotta be D back.
• 48:59
  I mean, Flores can work wonders with what you give him, bargain pieces, literally forgot.
• 49:08
  And turn them into household names.
• 49:10
  But, you know and I think he'll be able to generate enough pressure, but we gotta have
• 49:16
  something on that back end.
• 49:17
  And if Harrison Smith is gone for good, like, we gotta we gotta replace that with something.
• 49:23
  I I think it's gotta be DB, at least DB, and then wide receiver line lineman if you're not
• 49:32
  going to DB's.
• 49:33
  Tight end, I love it.
• 49:35
  I love it.
• 49:36
  It sucks, like, Kyle Pitts got franchise tag, but that was a long shot anyway.
• 49:41
  You actually
• 49:42
  can't afford anyone.
• 49:43
  Right?
• 49:43
  Like, you can't sign anyone.
• 49:45
  That's the thing.
• 49:46
  Those premier positions, you can't sign anybody.
• 49:49
  So offensive line and that kinda puts us in that position too.
• 49:53
  I don't think the offensive line is as bad off as a lot of people are making because
• 49:58
  you had right side.
• 50:00
  You had a shadow of Christian Derasa on there, on the team this year.
• 50:06
  You you you bring him back healthy, that ups the play across the board.
• 50:11
  Right?
• 50:12
  Center was our biggest problem last year.
• 50:14
  It wasn't the right side.
• 50:15
  It was center was a major issue.
• 50:18
  You know, Ryan Kelly, he was in there, a shadow of his former self, you know, watching get
• 50:25
  blown up by just that that green bag.
• 50:29
  It gives me nightmares, man.
• 50:30
  It just got run over.
• 50:31
  Like, I run over my a 10 year old, right, when we're playing football.
• 50:35
  I just got massacred.
• 50:37
  But I think you can find some guys, and hopefully, a new offensive line coach, maybe,
• 50:44
  some of these younger guys that are on the team, and we have some of these players in
• 50:48
  there that can fix that.
• 50:49
  You just don't have the money to go throw out a premier right tackle or or center even for to
• 50:56
  get into there, and we're just not drafting in a position to be able to get there.
• 51:00
  I don't know that there's gonna be a lot of help from the o line.
• 51:03
  And I think that's why you saw them make the move at coaching because you're hoping that's
• 51:07
  the move that elevates the play from the players that you have, knowing that you're
• 51:12
  probably not gonna be able to get anyone else in that space.
• 51:16
  And and, Cody, you know, obviously, I I I agree with you.
• 51:19
  Right?
• 51:19
  Like, a defensive bat like, let's get some dogs for Brian Flores.
• 51:23
  You just signed him into the biggest contract any coordinate has ever been.
• 51:27
  Right?
• 51:27
  You made him the highest coordinator in the league.
• 51:30
  Get this man some dogs so he can start cooking
• 51:33
  and
• 51:33
  go have a defense because that's when you won 14 games and and could've won in the playoffs.
• 51:40
  Right?
• 51:41
  So
• 51:41
  Do you have a if you
• 51:42
  have a strong backside, you know, a strong secondary, I mean, like, you you ain't gotta
• 51:49
  worry about that secondary.
• 51:50
  You can just pin your ears back on that front seven and just let them go.
• 51:55
  Let them eat because they ain't gotta worry about nothing.
• 51:57
  You know what I'm saying?
• 51:59
  So, I mean, I'm a I'm a DB's coach.
• 52:02
  You know what I'm saying?
• 52:03
  But I'm not trying to get my.
• 52:06
  Okay.
• 52:07
  But if if, I mean, if you can strap up and lock down on the corners and, you know, slots, It's
• 52:16
  easy pickets for the defensive line and linebackers.
• 52:20
  So tonight, we're gonna, profile a a couple of the, players, on the wide receiver and tight
• 52:28
  end big board because like you, Owen, I think tight end is somewhere that they may be able to
• 52:33
  pick in these first two rounds.
• 52:35
  Should their DBs that they wanna go after be off the board already, I can see KOC fighting
• 52:41
  for one of these tight ends that are coming out.
• 52:44
  The board seems to be falling that way.
• 52:46
  We're gonna start with the wide receivers just because, though, I don't think it's a massive
• 52:50
  need for this team, but I do think that we need a number two.
• 52:53
  And while it may not come from the first or second round, I know coach has probably done
• 52:58
  his homework and has some seventh round selections at the wide receiver position that
• 53:04
  may get here.
• 53:05
  So first one I wanted to talk about that came up when I had chat GPT identify some of the top
• 53:10
  wide receivers in this draft was Jordan Tyson, the wide receiver out of Arizona State.
• 53:15
  A little bit on him.
• 53:17
  I didn't get as thorough of notes this time as I did, but Arizona State, six foot two, two
• 53:22
  hundred, explosive receiver, fluid mover, creative route runner, some durability
• 53:27
  concerns.
• 53:28
  B, where do we have him on the top 100 from ESPN?
• 53:32
  He's number one as a wide receiver, number nine overall on the big board.
• 53:36
  So there's a possibility, you know, you know, he's in that range to where he could fall
• 53:41
  depending on what other teams want.
• 53:43
  But right now, he's at number nine, so eight spots out.
• 53:47
  Just a little bit of stat for him.
• 53:49
  Last year, 711 yards, eight touchdowns.
• 53:52
  The year before that, he broke a thousand with 10 touchdowns.
• 53:55
  So the guy's got some big capability, big play capabilities.
• 53:59
  So they're definitely coming out of Arizona State.
• 54:02
  You know?
• 54:03
  So
• 54:06
  Yeah.
• 54:06
  I mean, my profile for him, classic perimeter, x receiver with the strong target share.
• 54:13
  Mean, he had 97 targets last year, and red zone reliability.
• 54:19
  Though some evaluators question, his press release, and he's got an injury history, he
• 54:24
  remains productive, and he's a chain mover.
• 54:26
  I mean, I I watched a little bit of tape on him.
• 54:29
  I actually had time to do a little bit of tape this year, this week.
• 54:34
  And he looks like a baller that could replace Addison and be that number two.
• 54:40
  Owen, just to throw it back to our defensive talk, he said, let them boys eat on the line.
• 54:45
  Give Turner that spot.
• 54:46
  Trade bait with Grenard Owen.
• 54:48
  We touched on this in a dream scenario of maybe trading up in the first round, trading Grenard
• 54:55
  to go after safety from Ohio State.
• 54:59
  What was the young man's name?
• 55:05
  From Ohio State?
• 55:06
  Oh, for the?
• 55:08
  Yeah.
• 55:10
  Oh, I I I'm looking.
• 55:13
  Hold on.
• 55:14
  This is, number six.
• 55:15
  Downs.
• 55:16
  Yeah.
• 55:17
  Can't down.
• 55:18
  Yeah.
• 55:18
  It
• 55:19
  was a dream scenario, and we weren't saying that it was gonna happen, but that was
• 55:23
  something that I brought up as what do you package together.
• 55:26
  I I don't really wanna package all the draft capital that we have.
• 55:30
  But could you trade up to a Dallas if that pick falls down to there?
• 55:34
  Because where is Dallas picking?
• 55:35
  Are are they, like, in the ninth or tenth spot?
• 55:37
  Right?
• 55:38
  Not that Caleb, but Dallas probably falls that far.
• 55:41
  But
• 55:43
  Dallas is twelfth.
• 55:47
  Man, we don't want your throwaways, dog.
• 55:50
  We're good.
• 55:51
  We're good.
• 55:51
  So he's trying to give us the trash from Green Bay, and he's trying to steal coach Cody.
• 55:56
  Do you feel me?
• 55:57
  You feel me?
• 55:57
  Hey.
• 55:58
  Big b.
• 56:00
  Yeah.
• 56:01
  What about Casey Concepcion for the next?
• 56:05
  I'm saying.
• 56:05
  Yeah.
• 56:05
  Yeah.
• 56:06
  He's on this list here too.
• 56:08
  So let's yeah.
• 56:09
  We'll just keep moving down.
• 56:11
  Was just saying.
• 56:12
  Concepcion is number five on the list that I have here, but we're probably talking in the
• 56:18
  range of where the Vikings may be picking.
• 56:21
  Smaller wide receiver, he is five eleven, a hundred and ninety pounds, but he is a
• 56:28
  producer.
• 56:29
  So, yeah, let's go ahead and talk about it since we got him pulled up.
• 56:34
  Can you see five eleven, one ninety?
• 56:37
  On the big board, he's ranked number eight on the over the top 100.
• 56:43
  He's forty fifth.
• 56:44
  So you're looking at second, third round there.
• 56:47
  So somewhere I would Well, I think we're gonna that idea.
• 56:50
  Number 45.
• 56:51
  So
• 56:54
  Yeah.
• 56:55
  I definitely entertained that one and, you know, he, I mean, his numbers, I mean, just
• 56:59
  looking at his three years in college, if I could pull it back up here, twenty twenty
• 57:04
  three, 839 yards.
• 57:06
  Twenty twenty four, four sixty.
• 57:09
  Last year, nine nineteen.
• 57:13
  But, I mean, touchdowns, ten, six, nine.
• 57:15
  So Yeah.
• 57:16
  Small, but the guy gets it in the end zone.
• 57:19
  So
• 57:20
  Listen, Steve.
• 57:21
  511190.
• 57:23
  Offers Cody $35,000,000 a year for the next ten years, he can take that money.
• 57:30
  We ain't even gonna hold it against him.
• 57:33
  Tadios Moutachos said that.
• 57:34
  Cody,
• 57:37
  can we come on the staff?
• 57:39
  I would put on green and gold for 35 mil a year.
• 57:43
  I would probably do it for
• 57:44
  $350.
• 57:45
  You might even get me in the Yankees jersey for that money.
• 57:48
  I mean, that would that's tough.
• 57:50
  That's tough being a twins fan.
• 57:52
  That's tough.
• 57:53
  So Yeah.
• 57:55
  Concepcion.
• 57:56
  So Vikings are picking forty ninth.
• 57:58
  Sorry.
• 57:58
  Not forty fifth.
• 57:59
  So Concepcion is definitely someone that could be in that range where where we are picking in
• 58:05
  that second round.
• 58:06
  So great call there, Shady.
• 58:09
  Next one on my list here was Carnell Tate from Ohio State.
• 58:14
  Maybe a little bit of a reach here.
• 58:15
  I don't know where he's at on the big board b, but a little bit on Carnell.
• 58:20
  Six foot three, hundred and ninety five pounds, tall, long, excellent play speed, strong hands,
• 58:26
  vertical threat.
• 58:27
  To me, this is the model, if not the player, of who the Vikings need, opposite of your Justin
• 58:34
  Jefferson.
• 58:35
  We have Speedy Naylor.
• 58:36
  Hopefully, we can get another contract done for that wide receiver three that I think Naylor
• 58:41
  fits into very well right now.
• 58:43
  We need another body out there that can go up and get the ball, and which is a position that
• 58:48
  I think, you know, Jordan Addison isn't really.
• 58:51
  Right?
• 58:51
  He's he's not that player.
• 58:53
  Carnell Tate, where does he fall in the top 100?
• 58:57
  He is number two in the position, number 11.
• 59:00
  So he's not that far off where we could probably move up or he could drop.
• 59:06
  Last year, 875 yards, nine touchdowns, 17.2 average per catch.
• 59:13
  You know, over that seven thirty three, four touchdowns.
• 59:16
  So, yeah, he's coming to the zone.
• 59:18
  Anything on this young man that you could see being a case that he maybe drops a little bit?
• 59:24
  Any off the field issues?
• 59:26
  You know, anything from your your research?
• 59:30
  I haven't heard, or seen any, negative stuff.
• 59:34
  Damn.
• 59:35
  I know.
• 59:37
  But, I mean, hey.
• 59:38
  Larry anything can happen, Larry Metunzel.
• 59:41
  Didn't that video come out the day of the draft?
• 59:44
  You know?
• 59:45
  Spoken?
• 59:46
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  That's taking that yeah.
• 59:48
  So anything could happen.
• 59:49
  People just waiting for the right time.
• 59:51
  Trust me.
• 59:52
  Yeah.
• 59:52
  People are vindictive like that.
• 59:54
  Let a fucking video of this young man come out hitting a blunt or something on draft day and
• 59:59
  let him drop to 18, please.
• 1:00:01
  Well, I think if anything Eagle here.
• 1:00:04
  Get his out.
• 1:00:04
  I think lot of changes will happen during the combine and stuff where that's where a lot of
• 1:00:10
  these changes happen is the jobs and stuff is, you they practice on the pads.
• 1:00:15
  So
• 1:00:15
  Combine coming up this week.
• 1:00:17
  All eyes will be on Indianapolis watching out there.
• 1:00:21
  To me, regardless of whether whether it is like I said, whether it's this young man or it's
• 1:00:32
  another one to me, this is the this is the player profile that I'm looking for at wide
• 1:00:38
  receiver.
• 1:00:39
  I don't need another five eleven really fast guy.
• 1:00:42
  Right?
• 1:00:43
  You already have tight belt on this team too.
• 1:00:45
  Right?
• 1:00:45
  Like, you have a prototype of that player already.
• 1:00:49
  Let's go get another big bodied guy out there.
• 1:00:53
  Speaking of another one that I think fits that bill a little bit now, a little bit smaller,
• 1:00:57
  foot, two hundred and four pounds, though.
• 1:00:59
  Not a small guy.
• 1:01:00
  Omar Cooper, a wide receiver from Indiana, is next on my list.
• 1:01:05
  Now we're probably getting into this first round range of where the Vikings will be
• 1:01:10
  picking, Bea.
• 1:01:10
  What do you got on him?
• 1:01:12
  He's the fifth on the position, 37, so late first, early second.
• 1:01:19
  Stat wise, you know, nine thirty seven last year with 13 touchdowns.
• 1:01:24
  The year before that, five ninety four with seven touchdowns, but averaged 21 yards per
• 1:01:30
  catch that year.
• 1:01:32
  So definitely somebody that could, you know, be that play playmaker alongside Jefferson.
• 1:01:38
  A little little smaller than we probably want, but, you know
• 1:01:42
  Did you say five ten?
• 1:01:45
  No.
• 1:01:45
  Six foot.
• 1:01:46
  Oh, the same thing.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah.
• 1:01:49
  Pretty much.
• 1:01:50
  That's what somebody who's
• 1:01:52
  that's what somebody who's five ten like Cody says.
• 1:01:57
  Yeah, man.
• 1:01:58
  I expect.
• 1:01:59
  Tall.
• 1:01:59
  God.
• 1:02:00
  I just I mean
• 1:02:01
  Safe thing.
• 1:02:02
  What where'd you say he he ranked?
• 1:02:05
  Indiana.
• 1:02:05
  Well, from Indiana.
• 1:02:07
  Oh, Cooper, he was fifth in the position, thirty seventh overall.
• 1:02:12
  Yeah.
• 1:02:13
  So a reach for the first round, but in in range, I would say, for where the Vikings could
• 1:02:18
  move up to with their second round picks.
• 1:02:24
  Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  You have to really like him.
• 1:02:27
  I'm just I'm I'm literally I think Vikings need sides at this point.
• 1:02:32
  So we got this.
• 1:02:34
  We already talked about Concepcion.
• 1:02:36
  Makay Lemon was another one that I had, just on this list.
• 1:02:40
  But another guy, five eleven slot specialist, not really somebody that fits the needs.
• 1:02:46
  Moving down the list here, a couple of guys.
• 1:02:50
  Denzel Boston.
• 1:02:51
  Denzel Boston.
• 1:02:52
  Right.
• 1:02:52
  Wide receiver Washington, who we did talk a little bit about, I think, after you left the
• 1:02:57
  show, Cody.
• 1:02:58
  I had Bea kinda run through the the No.
• 1:03:01
  The top 10 wide receivers.
• 1:03:03
  Denzel Boston from Washington, six foot four, and some strength too.
• 1:03:11
  Not a not a small guy whatsoever.
• 1:03:15
  A two six foot four, two ten.
• 1:03:18
  It's a fucking tight end.
• 1:03:20
  Big frame, strong ball skills, physical after catch.
• 1:03:24
  Yeah.
• 1:03:24
  I think he's, like, the same size as Hawkinson, isn't he?
• 1:03:28
  Well, at
• 1:03:29
  least that's that's what Hawkinson looks like he plays as when he's out there trying to
• 1:03:32
  block.
• 1:03:33
  No offense.
• 1:03:34
  I know he's a part owner of Pillars of Valor, our sponsor, but we're we're not here to
• 1:03:38
  sugarcoat it.
• 1:03:40
  I love it.
• 1:03:41
  I love it.
• 1:03:41
  I just you know, a big body receiver like that, six foot four, add in the vertical, I don't
• 1:03:46
  care what your DB is.
• 1:03:48
  He's not gonna goal line, jump ball, corner the ends, though.
• 1:03:52
  He's not Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Washington Boston had 881 yards last year, 11 touchdowns, but, I mean, yeah, six four two
• 1:04:00
  zero nine.
• 1:04:01
  There's another guy too that kinda intrigued me is Fields from Notre Dame.
• 1:04:07
  Six foot four two twenty three is a fifth year senior.
• 1:04:11
  630 yards last year, five touchdowns, the last two years before that, eight zero eight, eight
• 1:04:19
  eleven, five touchdowns apiece.
• 1:04:20
  So another guy that Where's he on the
• 1:04:23
  top 100, b?
• 1:04:25
  Well, they don't have 30.
• 1:04:28
  So he's a he's 39 on that top 100.
• 1:04:31
  Yeah.
• 1:04:31
  So, I mean, I would almost rather see them stretch for that.
• 1:04:35
  Where was Boston?
• 1:04:36
  He was in that 40 something range, wasn't he?
• 1:04:38
  No.
• 1:04:38
  Boston was thirteenth overall.
• 1:04:41
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah.
• 1:04:44
  In the top 100, he was 13.
• 1:04:46
  So his draft is really, really pumped up.
• 1:04:50
  Okay.
• 1:04:50
  So, yeah, we bear we don't have a chance to get him.
• 1:04:53
  Depends on I gotta look at the draft here.
• 1:04:56
  Thirteenth may I guess a 13 to 18 hasn't as big of a I don't really I mean, I guess that would
• 1:05:02
  be one guy.
• 1:05:04
  One team to switch the draft and have a run on something.
• 1:05:07
  So Yep.
• 1:05:08
  Well and what I'm thinking is that he is, like, the one player on this wide rece the one player
• 1:05:16
  outside of the EBs that I would be okay with that maybe draft trading up for to get in that
• 1:05:22
  first round.
• 1:05:23
  Right?
• 1:05:24
  I to me, I think they're taking one of the cornerbacks at that spot just from kind of the
• 1:05:30
  deep dive that we did last week.
• 1:05:33
  But
• 1:05:34
  And obviously, looking at
• 1:05:35
  how much they wanna swing.
• 1:05:37
  And looking at the top 15, I mean, I'll say the Raiders and the Jets that need everything.
• 1:05:44
  I mean, Miami might be the only one looking at a re could be looking at receiver with the
• 1:05:47
  release of Hill.
• 1:05:48
  So, I mean, he could be right there for Miami.
• 1:05:52
  But, I mean, you know, like Cody said, the one team changes everybody's draft board, they take
• 1:05:58
  somebody different and makes them all panic.
• 1:06:02
  The last year, I kinda had okay.
• 1:06:04
  Go ahead, coach.
• 1:06:05
  You got something on these guys?
• 1:06:07
  Well, I was just gonna make a comment real quick.
• 1:06:10
  You know, Dolphins, yeah, they're probably gonna be looking for a wide receiver, but I I
• 1:06:15
  think they're gonna be looking for someone cheaper to replace Tyreek Hill.
• 1:06:19
  So I don't think it's gonna fit that same mold, you know, five five ten, five eleven five So
• 1:06:29
  Yeah.
• 1:06:30
  I think we'll be alright.
• 1:06:32
  I just don't I don't know if I wanna trade up.
• 1:06:34
  I don't know I don't know if I wanna trade up.
• 1:06:37
  Right.
• 1:06:37
  I I think that you're probably staying put.
• 1:06:40
  Like I said, I I feel like the Denzel Boston would be one guy on this list of people that
• 1:06:46
  we've been talking about because there was a couple of there was a couple safeties and a
• 1:06:50
  couple of, quarterbacks that were all in that first round range of where we could be picking.
• 1:06:55
  Like, one of those four players are gonna fall to you.
• 1:06:57
  Denzel Austin to me is kind of the only person that seems attainable that you're talking about
• 1:07:03
  maybe trading, you know because if it's only a few spots, you're talking about maybe your
• 1:07:09
  fifth round pick.
• 1:07:10
  Right?
• 1:07:10
  You're about trading your first and your fifth to flip and to move up those few spots.
• 1:07:15
  Right?
• 1:07:15
  Or You think that's
• 1:07:16
  all it would take?
• 1:07:17
  Maybe a fourth?
• 1:07:18
  Yeah.
• 1:07:19
  Because they break it down in that point system, man.
• 1:07:21
  Everybody falls pretty close to that point system.
• 1:07:23
  So it would be a flip of your 18.
• 1:07:25
  It would be a flip of that to move up those few spots because you're not moving from 18 to two.
• 1:07:30
  Right?
• 1:07:31
  No.
• 1:07:31
  You're moving from 18 to maybe 15 because I think that's where it's you would talk about
• 1:07:36
  being available.
• 1:07:37
  Maybe you're trapping the trade.
• 1:07:39
  If you're trying to move up from
• 1:07:40
  eighteen seconds.
• 1:07:41
  To, like, 12, you may be talking about one of those second round picks.
• 1:07:45
  I'm not comfortable trading one of the second round picks.
• 1:07:47
  No.
• 1:07:47
  No.
• 1:07:48
  Get a starter.
• 1:07:48
  You're trading essentially two starters for one.
• 1:07:51
  I don't know that it's you you the way our team is right now that you really can't you can't
• 1:07:57
  afford to do it.
• 1:07:58
  Right?
• 1:07:58
  Like, you need as many starters you can pull.
• 1:08:01
  But if you could flip a fourth who is more of, like, a toss-up, right, to get and maybe a
• 1:08:07
  player.
• 1:08:08
  Right?
• 1:08:08
  I mean, we're not gonna maybe you could trade a Jordan Addison to it.
• 1:08:11
  Well, that's I was just gonna say.
• 1:08:13
  Your first round of 18 to move up, which, you know, is essentially a second or third round
• 1:08:17
  pick that you're probably gonna get for Addison.
• 1:08:19
  I don't know.
• 1:08:20
  This would be the one player on the wide receiver board that I would be comfortable with
• 1:08:24
  them trading up for because of that.
• 1:08:27
  And, actually, Burke, I think, is the next person on my list here, Steve.
• 1:08:30
  You you just threw it out there.
• 1:08:32
  Bernard.
• 1:08:33
  Jeremy Bernard was the last one that I had on, my list here, as far as what Chad GPT pulled
• 1:08:40
  out for me.
• 1:08:41
  Wide receiver from Alabama.
• 1:08:43
  Six foot one, two hundred and four, consistent production.
• 1:08:46
  What do you got on Jeremy Bernard, b?
• 1:08:50
  Eleventh overall in the wide receiver position, fifty third on the big board, 862 yards last
• 1:08:58
  year, seven touchdowns.
• 1:08:59
  Year before that, seven ninety four with only two touchdowns.
• 1:09:03
  So definitely somebody that, you know, the second round, early third, you know, so then
• 1:09:14
  seems throughout one year,
• 1:09:16
  Denzel Denzel Burke from Oklahoma.
• 1:09:20
  Dia Burke.
• 1:09:21
  Dia Burke.
• 1:09:22
  Okay.
• 1:09:22
  Well, he's a packers fan, man.
• 1:09:24
  Well Yeah.
• 1:09:25
  59, I'm out.
• 1:09:27
  59, I'm out.
• 1:09:29
  I didn't mean to get
• 1:09:29
  a big
• 1:09:30
  order.
• 1:09:30
  He's
• 1:09:31
  five by
• 1:09:31
  one eighty.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  No.
• 1:09:33
  He sorry.
• 1:09:34
  Gonna do that,
• 1:09:35
  you might as well just go try to throw some money at fucking Tyreek Hill.
• 1:09:39
  Yeah.
• 1:09:39
  Diego Pavia.
• 1:09:40
  I mean I mean, unless you're talking return, I don't know if he's a returner.
• 1:09:44
  But
• 1:09:45
  Five nine.
• 1:09:45
  I'll see him in Wyoming.
• 1:09:47
  Game one.
• 1:09:53
  Hit me up.
• 1:09:54
  I hear you open.
• 1:09:58
  Fucking goatee, man.
• 1:09:59
  I mean, he he is he is kind of a gadget player because he does get some rushing yards and
• 1:10:03
  stuff.
• 1:10:03
  But
• 1:10:04
  Yeah.
• 1:10:04
  Last thing we need on this team right now.
• 1:10:07
  Last thing this team needs is is a questionable pick.
• 1:10:10
  We need home runs this year.
• 1:10:12
  Speaking of home runs, first player on the tight end list is Kenyon Sadik.
• 1:10:17
  I don't think chance I don't think there's a chance he ends up as a Viking in the draft this
• 1:10:22
  year, but tell me a little bit about Kenyon Sadik.
• 1:10:25
  He's the Oregon first overall, projected for tight ends.
• 1:10:31
  Fifth fourteenth on the big board.
• 1:10:36
  What is he?
• 1:10:37
  Six three, two forty five, five sixty in the yards, eight touchdowns, a good red zone guy,
• 1:10:45
  three zero eight the year before that with two touchdowns.
• 1:10:49
  So definitely could be you know, he is from North Dakota there, so he could have some of or
• 1:10:56
  no.
• 1:10:56
  Indiana.
• 1:10:57
  I'm sorry.
• 1:10:58
  Iowa.
• 1:10:59
  No.
• 1:10:59
  Where is he from?
• 1:11:00
  Oregon.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah.
• 1:11:02
  He's from Oregon, but he's from
• 1:11:04
  Oh.
• 1:11:05
  I
• 1:11:05
  Idaho Falls.
• 1:11:06
  So Idaho.
• 1:11:07
  So Yep.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah.
• 1:11:10
  Well, I mean, you said he was fourteenth overall?
• 1:11:13
  Fourteenth overall on the Big Ball.
• 1:11:15
  Maybe.
• 1:11:16
  Maybe.
• 1:11:16
  I think this was You would not be
• 1:11:19
  a hot dog, I think.
• 1:11:20
  I don't think you could have
• 1:11:21
  Get rid of him.
• 1:11:22
  No.
• 1:11:22
  Yeah.
• 1:11:24
  I'm just kidding.
• 1:11:25
  I'm just kidding.
• 1:11:26
  I'm just kidding.
• 1:11:29
  I love Cody's way.
• 1:11:30
  When Cody is out on a
• 1:11:32
  player, you can see it.
• 1:11:33
  He doesn't have the same damn thing.
• 1:11:35
  I'm playing.
• 1:11:36
  Yeah.
• 1:11:37
  Owen Owen, to your point, yeah, I mean, I would be down with a trade.
• 1:11:40
  If we could trade Addison to either get, I would say, either Sadik or Denzel with Boston.
• 1:11:49
  Right?
• 1:11:50
  Or not Denzel.
• 1:11:50
  Yeah.
• 1:11:51
  Yeah.
• 1:11:51
  Boston.
• 1:11:52
  Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  Yeah.
• 1:11:53
  Well, if we could trade Jordan Addison to a team and our first round, obviously, flip our
• 1:11:58
  first round with that to get one of these the the top flight tight end or your top flight
• 1:12:03
  wide receiver, I I'm down with that.
• 1:12:06
  Well, I think any comfortable with.
• 1:12:08
  Any trade on draft day be the first, second, third is if if Addison is a part of that deal.
• 1:12:15
  I think we're all down with that.
• 1:12:16
  I mean but if you trade it in the fourth round and you trade Adison, okay.
• 1:12:21
  Maybe you're not getting much value.
• 1:12:23
  But I think if if the Vikings do trade them in the with a second and third
• 1:12:28
  And they're in a position where they don't need to him.
• 1:12:30
  Right?
• 1:12:31
  Like, they can hang on
• 1:12:33
  to him, and maybe what you get is a lot what I've heard, you know, Judd on on Purple Daily
• 1:12:37
  mention a lot is that you hang on to him.
• 1:12:39
  Now he's not suspended.
• 1:12:40
  Right?
• 1:12:41
  Like, the chart has got dropped, so that helps.
• 1:12:44
  Right?
• 1:12:44
  You you were looking at maybe him being suspended for the first six games of the year,
• 1:12:48
  which would have been fucking awful.
• 1:12:50
  But now maybe he gets his act together over the off season, and he comes out and turns things
• 1:12:56
  around.
• 1:12:57
  I think unless it's right, unless they have a chance to get either Sadiq or Denzel Boston, I
• 1:13:03
  think that they're probably gonna hang on to Addison.
• 1:13:05
  You're not trading him just to trade him.
• 1:13:07
  Right?
• 1:13:07
  I I think you're hoping that you can be that he can reclaim his career from, you know, while in
• 1:13:15
  purple.
• 1:13:16
  Right?
• 1:13:16
  Well, and that's the thing like I've said.
• 1:13:18
  If if they can get him to agree to some kind of mentorship with Moss and Carter and some of the
• 1:13:25
  He's fighting about greats.
• 1:13:27
  You know?
• 1:13:28
  So
• 1:13:28
  Yeah.
• 1:13:28
  Makay, same thing.
• 1:13:29
  Five eleven slot specialist.
• 1:13:31
  That's why we didn't talk about him, Steve.
• 1:13:32
  Here's the thing here's the thing when it comes to trading to Addison, or trading wide
• 1:13:37
  receivers for a first round pick.
• 1:13:40
  Last time we traded a wide receiver, what was it, Rainy Moss, and it turned into Williamson.
• 1:13:46
  And then when we traded when we traded Diggs, I
• 1:13:49
  was like, oh my god.
• 1:13:50
  Here we go again.
• 1:13:51
  And then we got Jefferson.
• 1:13:52
  Finally, we did something right, but, I mean, we're fifty fifty on that shit right now.
• 1:13:57
  I've Yeah.
• 1:13:58
  I'll take them to send this.
• 1:14:02
  Know, I just I feel like defense is the way to way to go unless, like, these two specific
• 1:14:08
  players fall.
• 1:14:09
  Defense is the way to go.
• 1:14:11
  I'm not I'm not trying to reach for anything.
• 1:14:13
  I don't care.
• 1:14:14
  I'm not trying to trade up.
• 1:14:16
  If anything, I'm trading down.
• 1:14:17
  These guys, like you said, k o, KOC, he needs to hit on this draft.
• 1:14:24
  Okay?
• 1:14:24
  And, yeah, they'll take it to account, like, we're over the cap by 50 something million.
• 1:14:31
  Hopefully, they've taken that into account, but he's gotta start making moves in this draft.
• 1:14:37
  Big b, you pointed it out.
• 1:14:38
  These guys gotta stay on roster for three years.
• 1:14:41
  You know?
• 1:14:42
  They got they got heavy hits.
• 1:14:44
  Shady, I wanna get a little bit of give you a chance to chime in here.
• 1:14:47
  I wanna know what your philosophy is on, you know, the trading back in the first round,
• 1:14:53
  specifically when you're in the position like the Vikings are, where you're in this kinda the
• 1:14:58
  late
• 1:14:58
  Or the Panthers.
• 1:14:59
  They're they're right with us.
• 1:15:00
  I mean, I'm banging the same thing.
• 1:15:03
  Yeah.
• 1:15:04
  You know, you're okay with a trade back a couple of spots unless your guy is there or
• 1:15:09
  trading up a few spots if it's there, kinda both both is it all dependent on the players
• 1:15:14
  available at that point?
• 1:15:16
  Well, you know, like, the Panthers never did any of that stuff for so long, and then you
• 1:15:20
  watch all the other teams like the Browns.
• 1:15:21
  They're trading up and down like crazy.
• 1:15:23
  But I see, like, I don't know.
• 1:15:27
  They I'm wondering the thing about Bryce.
• 1:15:29
  Like, even though they took the franchise option, are we gonna draft a backup?
• 1:15:33
  Because Andy Andy Dalton's on his way out.
• 1:15:35
  But the other thing I'm thinking is at first, initially, we said big wide receiver.
• 1:15:41
  We played college football.
• 1:15:43
  I was like, Deuce Robinson for FSU.
• 1:15:45
  Dude's like six six.
• 1:15:46
  You know?
• 1:15:47
  Big dude.
• 1:15:48
  He didn't he foregoed the draft this year.
• 1:15:50
  So whoever misses on this year, if we get stomped again, that's a possibility because if
• 1:15:55
  Xavier doesn't if Xavier don't get his act together, I'm not so sure Xavier even really
• 1:16:00
  take I don't know if Xavier knows play golf.
• 1:16:02
  Just feel like, you know, Xavier's smiling.
• 1:16:06
  Yeah.
• 1:16:07
  No.
• 1:16:07
  I I mean, I I was just gonna say, I love, I love Bryce Young.
• 1:16:12
  I love what they did, you know, drafting him high.
• 1:16:16
  Weren't afraid to bench him.
• 1:16:18
  And once he came back from that benching, he did a hell of a lot better.
• 1:16:21
  And, you know, damn near, he got you guys to that playoffs.
• 1:16:24
  But, man, truth be told, he can throw for over 200, 300 yards, so I'd take him over nine.
• 1:16:31
  But, you know, that's for a different day.
• 1:16:33
  I think you guys got something good cooking down there.
• 1:16:36
  Yeah.
• 1:16:36
  So what is it?
• 1:16:37
  I mean, you know, you're down in Colorado or What is the top dollar panthers?
• 1:16:43
  I mean, where where are they looking, or what are their needs this offseason?
• 1:16:48
  So ours are similar, actually.
• 1:16:51
  We do need to look at the DBs because, initially, I was like, what happened to Jeremy
• 1:16:56
  Chen?
• 1:16:56
  That was the first thing I was thinking with a trade.
• 1:16:59
  But he's for the Vegas Raiders, so, you know, there's no point in that.
• 1:17:02
  But our our defensive back, we need a we need a linebacker ever since Keeley's been gone.
• 1:17:08
  You know, we've kinda been cycling through it, but it's yeah.
• 1:17:12
  Dan Morgan's a defensive guy.
• 1:17:13
  He's rebuilding defense.
• 1:17:14
  That's it.
• 1:17:15
  Because they got the o line now.
• 1:17:17
  But Ted Ted McMillan is like he's the guy.
• 1:17:22
  Yeah.
• 1:17:22
  He is the guy.
• 1:17:24
  And then you got Chuba Chuba?
• 1:17:26
  Yeah.
• 1:17:27
  Chuba and then Rico's out.
• 1:17:28
  Rico left.
• 1:17:30
  He left?
• 1:17:31
  Yeah.
• 1:17:31
  Rico's gone.
• 1:17:32
  Oh, man.
• 1:17:33
  He saved my fantasy.
• 1:17:35
  Shout out to him.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah.
• 1:17:38
  Rico was like, I'm gonna get paid somewhere else, guys.
• 1:17:40
  Rico actually went to high school, like, thirty or forty minutes up the road.
• 1:17:44
  So he Rico's a legend in Carolina.
• 1:17:49
  But yeah.
• 1:17:49
  Hey.
• 1:17:50
  Defense, I'm always gonna preach for defense.
• 1:17:52
  If you got a solid defense, they're gonna, you know, they're gonna hold up.
• 1:17:57
  You know?
• 1:17:57
  And if not pitch a shutout, they're gonna hold up for a good three quarters of the game.
• 1:18:00
  So if your offense can't score in three quarters, then we got some bigger issues to
• 1:18:05
  talk about.
• 1:18:08
  So Rico must be a free agent, so there's a chance he could come back.
• 1:18:13
  Because he doesn't decide to worry yet.
• 1:18:15
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:18:16
  I don't know if I don't know if Rico wants to come back.
• 1:18:18
  I think everything out of his camp's like, if you're not giving me the ball, like, I'm not
• 1:18:23
  coming back, which is understandable for Rico.
• 1:18:26
  Rico bust out here, but it's alright.
• 1:18:31
  Alright.
• 1:18:31
  Next, tight end on the list here, I got Max Claire, end from Ohio State.
• 1:18:37
  Few notes that I had on it.
• 1:18:38
  Movement skills, savvy route runner, blocking needs improvement.
• 1:18:42
  To me, this sounds like a TJ Hawkinson refresh on that, a younger version of Hawk, which is
• 1:18:50
  something that, you know, obviously, KOC likes on this team.
• 1:18:53
  I can't remember.
• 1:18:54
  Was the Hawkinson trade before KOC got here, or was that that for his in his first season?
• 1:19:01
  I think it was in his first season, I think.
• 1:19:03
  No.
• 1:19:04
  I think that was It was a good season trade,
• 1:19:06
  the one the, like, the first big trade Quasi pulled out or first big move.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah.
• 1:19:12
  I think so.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah.
• 1:19:13
  Midseason.
• 1:19:14
  Yeah.
• 1:19:17
  So Max, fourth overall on the tight end position board.
• 1:19:21
  Ninetieth overall on the big board there.
• 1:19:26
  I know Ohio State, so you keep that Midwest going.
• 1:19:30
  448 yards last year, two touchdowns.
• 1:19:32
  Year before that, six eighty five with four touchdowns, but he is a big dude.
• 1:19:37
  Six five, two forty three.
• 1:19:39
  So, yeah, that definitely could fit somewhere late for, KLC in the group way.
• 1:19:45
  Yeah.
• 1:19:45
  It's unfortunate that he can't wasn't a better blocker.
• 1:19:48
  That's obviously hurting his draft stock.
• 1:19:50
  This could be a day, you know, three guy Yes.
• 1:19:52
  At that rate.
• 1:19:54
  What?
• 1:19:54
  Third ninetieth overall?
• 1:19:56
  Yeah.
• 1:19:56
  He could push into the top of the fourth round, with with that pick.
• 1:20:01
  Norsfias, shout out to you, man.
• 1:20:03
  Appreciate you tuning in.
• 1:20:05
  How'd the other chat go tonight?
• 1:20:06
  Was this as much of a shit show as it was last week?
• 1:20:10
  And who would have transferred to do to Ohio State last Damn.
• 1:20:16
  Well, they they said they were in I think there's another Viking show that rolls on
• 1:20:20
  Tuesdays that that that they all tune into.
• 1:20:23
  So we kinda catch a late push here, in Vikings United after that one finishes up.
• 1:20:29
  So
• 1:20:31
  Hey.
• 1:20:31
  But this is the one to be at.
• 1:20:33
  This is the one to be at.
• 1:20:34
  Yeah.
• 1:20:35
  Yeah.
• 1:20:35
  We're getting momentum, man.
• 1:20:36
  We're on Rumble for the first time tonight.
• 1:20:38
  Shout out to anyone watching on Rumble.
• 1:20:40
  I can't see the numbers live, but appreciate being on a new platform and and doing that.
• 1:20:45
  And, yeah.
• 1:20:47
  Let me see.
• 1:20:48
  Steve knows policy says Joe Royer from Cincinnati is who they will draft.
• 1:20:53
  I don't trust anything you say at that point.
• 1:20:56
  Yeah.
• 1:20:56
  I have him on
• 1:20:59
  the list here.
• 1:20:59
  He's he's pretty far down on the list.
• 1:21:02
  But
• 1:21:03
  What
• 1:21:03
  about Eli Stowers?
• 1:21:08
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:11
  Vanderbilt kid on overall ninety third, six four, two thirty five, you know, July or July
• 1:21:22
  seven sixty nine, four touchdowns, six thirty eight, five touchdowns.
• 1:21:28
  So, yeah, definitely, you know, another guy that could be sitting around there.
• 1:21:33
  QB turned tight end.
• 1:21:35
  So Yeah.
• 1:21:36
  A smart player.
• 1:21:36
  I I think we always like, guys that, you know, played QB whether it was, you know, in now on
• 1:21:42
  their high school team or out there.
• 1:21:44
  I think that they understand the game a little bit differently and are able to maybe set some
• 1:21:49
  things up and to have bring that savvy with them to a new position.
• 1:21:54
  Not easy to do, changing positions like that, coach.
• 1:21:58
  No.
• 1:21:59
  Not at all.
• 1:21:59
  Especially, you know, you know, most of these players, they're playing their position, their
• 1:22:05
  spot in high school.
• 1:22:07
  And then, you know, you get recruited into college, and you might be told, hey.
• 1:22:12
  You know?
• 1:22:13
  You I know you were a wide, wide receiver or a quarterback.
• 1:22:16
  You're gonna go to wide receiver.
• 1:22:18
  Wide receiver, you're gonna go to tight end.
• 1:22:19
  You might be playing, defense.
• 1:22:22
  And then when you get drafted, that might change again.
• 1:22:25
  Yeah.
• 1:22:25
  You know?
• 1:22:26
  It's just the versatility is
• 1:22:28
  So you say we could have bought we could find our backup in a backup quarterback in a tight
• 1:22:32
  end spot.
• 1:22:32
  Alright.
• 1:22:33
  I mean, Steve.
• 1:22:35
  Nobody's holding their breath on this.
• 1:22:37
  I just want you to know.
• 1:22:38
  I don't I don't want I
• 1:22:39
  wouldn't go that far, you know, quarterback.
• 1:22:42
  So you gotta be the most athletic, smartest on the field.
• 1:22:45
  Hopefully, you know, the next quarterback that we throw out there doesn't get a shot out
• 1:22:49
  against Seattle.
• 1:22:50
  No shots thrown at, Max Brosber, but, you know,
• 1:22:54
  I just oh, that was ugly.
• 1:22:56
  Where was Stowers at on the top 100?
• 1:23:00
  Eli Stowers, ninety third.
• 1:23:02
  Okay.
• 1:23:02
  So you're talking about another guy that could be a day three Yep.
• 1:23:05
  Fourth round pick in here.
• 1:23:07
  So we there's some I'd say there's some options because we have the two fourth round picks, I
• 1:23:11
  wanna say.
• 1:23:12
  This only took me to three Oh, we
• 1:23:16
  got 10 or 12.
• 1:23:18
  Fourth round.
• 1:23:19
  We have the I think we have two fifth or two sixth and two sevenths or something like that.
• 1:23:24
  Fuck.
• 1:23:25
  Hold on.
• 1:23:26
  Let me pull them up.
• 1:23:27
  We have come on now.
• 1:23:30
  We have one fifth.
• 1:23:31
  So we got the two seventh round picks, two third round picks.
• 1:23:36
  So pick 18 or pick 82 and pick 97 are the Vikings picks.
• 1:23:41
  So we're talking about guys that would be guys that are in that range, possibly.
• 1:23:45
  So I think and now we're starting to kinda take a look.
• 1:23:48
  And the reason that we wanted to profile some of these players was to just take a kinda
• 1:23:52
  10,000 foot view.
• 1:23:53
  Right?
• 1:23:53
  Look at the players.
• 1:23:54
  We know who the top flight people are.
• 1:23:57
  You know, I I like to take a little you know, it's okay to dream a little bit right now.
• 1:24:00
  Right?
• 1:24:01
  What package would it take?
• 1:24:02
  Would a Grunard?
• 1:24:03
  Isn't Addison on the table to maybe trade up and to get a Caleb Downs or, you know, up to
• 1:24:08
  the top to get a Sadiq?
• 1:24:10
  Right?
• 1:24:11
  It it's worth the conversations right now.
• 1:24:13
  Obviously, after this week with the combine, we're gonna know a lot more about these
• 1:24:18
  players, and things are gonna start to shift out.
• 1:24:20
  And then we have a whole another month and a half of speculation before the draft in April.
• 1:24:26
  So, right now, it's just kind of fun to talk, throw some players out there.
• 1:24:31
  And, I I like what I I like this Eli Stowers.
• 1:24:33
  I'm definitely circling this one.
• 1:24:34
  Right?
• 1:24:35
  On my list of players that are available in the range where we are picking with the picks that
• 1:24:42
  we have, this is somebody who's definitely on the Vikings, you know, on the side chart.
• 1:24:48
  Right?
• 1:24:48
  You know, on the sidebar that's saying, hey.
• 1:24:51
  These are these are a target.
• 1:24:54
  Oh, a, big b, how many picks do we have?
• 1:24:56
  Is it 10?
• 1:24:57
  Seven.
• 1:24:58
  Seven?
• 1:24:59
  No.
• 1:25:00
  It's eight.
• 1:25:00
  More than
• 1:25:01
  No.
• 1:25:02
  It's eight.
• 1:25:02
  Eight.
• 1:25:04
  That's what I see.
• 1:25:05
  Yep.
• 1:25:06
  First, a second, two thirds, a fifth, a sixth, and two sevenths.
• 1:25:10
  Somebody's stealing.
• 1:25:11
  I swear we had 10.
• 1:25:13
  Oh my god.
• 1:25:16
  Alright.
• 1:25:17
  Well
• 1:25:17
  Well, maybe we did have 10, and then fucking we traded one for Adam Thielen.
• 1:25:22
  Remember?
• 1:25:22
  That was fun.
• 1:25:23
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:25:23
  That was trash.
• 1:25:25
  Oh god.
• 1:25:27
  Trash.
• 1:25:28
  Hey.
• 1:25:28
  How did you feel hey.
• 1:25:29
  Hey.
• 1:25:29
  No.
• 1:25:30
  How how did you feel about Thielen down there?
• 1:25:32
  Like, Jane, that's not the scouting report that we wanna hear.
• 1:25:41
  Oh, no.
• 1:25:42
  I don't
• 1:25:42
  know who Sam Rausch is, but I don't that that worries me a little bit, especially because
• 1:25:47
  you'd have to probably trade up to get him.
• 1:25:49
  So that would be enough for me right now to be
• 1:25:51
  Sam if Sam Roush was like that, he'd be on our list.
• 1:25:56
  Just being honest.
• 1:25:57
  Is the best ability?
• 1:25:58
  Well, if you're a defender on, Brian Flores' defense, you're damn right.
• 1:26:03
  To me, it's still availability, but Yeah.
• 1:26:06
  We we are in that.
• 1:26:09
  Eric Wilson negated one of the comp picks.
• 1:26:12
  Okay.
• 1:26:12
  How did that Norsvias, can you explain that to us a little bit if you don't mind typing a
• 1:26:18
  little bit?
• 1:26:19
  I wish I had your email or something.
• 1:26:21
  I'd fucking send you a link and
• 1:26:23
  you can jump on Yeah.
• 1:26:24
  Can we add them up?
• 1:26:25
  Yeah.
• 1:26:25
  Well, I didn't
• 1:26:26
  send them anything.
• 1:26:27
  Well, I guess I could.
• 1:26:28
  Let me If
• 1:26:28
  he's gated one for I wonder if he got cash.
• 1:26:32
  Hey, Shady.
• 1:26:32
  I wanted to ask you, though.
• 1:26:34
  Adam Phelan, what were your guys' thoughts down there about him?
• 1:26:39
  I'll be real with you.
• 1:26:40
  As I love my favorite fan.
• 1:26:43
  Any any Panther fans out there, this is not a shot at us.
• 1:26:46
  They don't really pay attention.
• 1:26:47
  I'll be real with you.
• 1:26:48
  They don't.
• 1:26:48
  Because nine times out of 10, NASCAR's taken over.
• 1:26:51
  So, like Yep.
• 1:26:52
  That was early in the season.
• 1:26:54
  Daytona five hundred just dropped.
• 1:26:56
  The South was still recovering from that hangover.
• 1:26:59
  I don't even think they knew what happened, but I'll say, yeah, I was pretty shocked because in
• 1:27:04
  all the other deals, we just been giving stuff away for any kind of love out here.
• 1:27:09
  So in fact, we got something for Adam Thielen, I was like, I'm glad they made a video of him
• 1:27:14
  going home because you just saw the video.
• 1:27:16
  You know?
• 1:27:16
  Hey, coach Vincent Fortner Bay.
• 1:27:19
  What's going on, man?
• 1:27:20
  Much love.
• 1:27:21
  Shout out to him.
• 1:27:22
  Okay.
• 1:27:22
  So we got let's see.
• 1:27:24
  123456789.
• 1:27:32
  Yeah.
• 1:27:32
  We got 10 picks that I'm showing.
• 1:27:35
  We do?
• 1:27:36
  Okay.
• 1:27:36
  That's what I thought.
• 1:27:37
  I'm not that too far in the bag.
• 1:27:39
  We got four seven round picks, it looks like.
• 1:27:42
  Well, I think those are the comp picks that No.
• 1:27:45
  It's for the Panthers, for Thiela, we got they gave us Thiela, a seventh pick.
• 1:27:53
  And then we got the seventh pick and Cam Robinson for the Jags.
• 1:27:59
  And then we also got our pick.
• 1:28:00
  And then from Houston, we got Cam Acres and the seventh overall pick or seventh round pick from
• 1:28:08
  the Texans.
• 1:28:09
  So those are four seven round picks we have.
• 1:28:13
  So
• 1:28:14
  Hope those are dry.
• 1:28:14
  We traded away our sixth round pick.
• 1:28:17
  We got a sixth round pick from the Colts for Blackman.
• 1:28:24
  We got a fifth round pick from the Eagles and for Sam Howell.
• 1:28:35
  We have the their fifth round pick and a seventh round next year or in two years.
• 1:28:40
  We traded away our fifth, and then we got our top four with a a third comp pick in there.
• 1:28:47
  So So what I'm seeing as of February 11 on the Minnesota Vikings website per them is the first
• 1:28:56
  round, the second round, the third round, fifth from Philly for Sam Howell, sixth from Indy,
• 1:29:02
  seventh original, seventh from Houston for Cam Acres, seventh from Carolina.
• 1:29:07
  That leaves one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight picks.
• 1:29:11
  You're missing the Texas pick.
• 1:29:17
  Sorry about that, Paul.
• 1:29:18
  Well, hey.
• 1:29:19
  If if if You're
• 1:29:20
  if I'm missing it, it's from the Vikings website.
• 1:29:23
  Nope.
• 1:29:23
  I gotcha.
• 1:29:24
  I gotcha.
• 1:29:25
  Yep.
• 1:29:25
  So and that was February 11, so just less than a week ago.
• 1:29:28
  So I'm just throwing that out there.
• 1:29:30
  Vikings gotta step up their game.
• 1:29:32
  We can't even decide how many fucking draft picks we have on the other side.
• 1:29:35
  We got more than three.
• 1:29:38
  Hey, boys.
• 1:29:39
  Check this out.
• 1:29:40
  We're bringing in the man himself.
• 1:29:41
  Norspius.
• 1:29:42
  Hey.
• 1:29:43
  Hey.
• 1:29:44
  How's it going, fellas?
• 1:29:47
  It's going well, man.
• 1:29:48
  Going, man.
• 1:29:49
  How are feeling?
• 1:29:49
  Voice.
• 1:29:50
  Put a voice to the the mission here, man.
• 1:29:52
  This is awesome.
• 1:29:57
  Yeah.
• 1:29:57
  Just you well, you've been on with rap, haven't you?
• 1:30:01
  Right?
• 1:30:03
  We have rap on our show.
• 1:30:04
  We haven't been on his show yet, but,
• 1:30:06
  we Okay.
• 1:30:07
  Yeah.
• 1:30:07
  Okay.
• 1:30:08
  He came on our show a couple of weeks ago, man.
• 1:30:10
  That was a blast.
• 1:30:12
  Yeah.
• 1:30:12
  That's that's my boy right there.
• 1:30:14
  So, now, of course, I found you guys too.
• 1:30:18
  So I tune in as often as I can.
• 1:30:23
  Hey.
• 1:30:23
  We appreciate it.
• 1:30:24
  You know?
• 1:30:25
  And we're a new show.
• 1:30:26
  Obviously, Rap's been out doing his thing for a while and building that community up around
• 1:30:31
  him.
• 1:30:32
  But, you know, we just started this show, like, mid to late season.
• 1:30:35
  We actually were the catalyst for the winning streak, because after we started the show, it's
• 1:30:40
  almost all the games.
• 1:30:42
  So
• 1:30:42
  There you go.
• 1:30:43
  Alright.
• 1:30:45
  Yeah.
• 1:30:45
  And, of course, you know, you've seen me in the in the chat.
• 1:30:48
  You know, I'm I'm also a veteran.
• 1:30:49
  So I saw that, that you had there behind you, Bubba, and I appreciated that.
• 1:30:54
  So, you have a fan in in this guy because I'm a veteran.
• 1:30:59
  So
• 1:31:00
  Yeah.
• 1:31:00
  We appreciate your service, Norspious.
• 1:31:02
  Thank you so much for what you've given to our country.
• 1:31:05
  And as someone who spent most of his life being an addict and a musician, I didn't do a whole
• 1:31:11
  lot to give back to my community.
• 1:31:14
  So now as an older man and someone that's trying to make better on his life, it's the
• 1:31:21
  least that I can do to to kinda, you know, put them behind me, but also to be behind them.
• 1:31:26
  Right?
• 1:31:27
  The the motto of the foundation is we have veteran six and, you know, today with some
• 1:31:32
  things coming out of the congress that that have been really devastating news to our
• 1:31:37
  veteran community that we're we're needed even more.
• 1:31:40
  So we're we're really looking forward to doing more for our veteran community in every way
• 1:31:46
  that we can, and that starts with, you know, just just putting it out there, right, that we
• 1:31:51
  are here and we can be a shoulder to lean on, hopefully, for some of these young men and
• 1:31:57
  women that, you know, getting out and, obviously, our older population as well.
• 1:32:01
  But, yeah, it's the least that I can do.
• 1:32:04
  So thank you for your service, Norsefias, and all your brothers and sisters in the military
• 1:32:08
  as well.
• 1:32:09
  Amen.
• 1:32:10
  Amen.
• 1:32:11
  That's kinda funny you
• 1:32:13
  said you're a musician, though.
• 1:32:14
  I once I got out of the military, I was I was a lead singer of a hard rock metal band for a
• 1:32:20
  couple years.
• 1:32:21
  Yeah.
• 1:32:21
  I can hear that in your voice.
• 1:32:23
  I can hear that.
• 1:32:23
  Now now we're not getting you on video today, but I got a knack for this thing.
• 1:32:27
  And you I feel like you look like you could be in a Viking themed hard rock band.
• 1:32:37
  I you know what?
• 1:32:38
  I I got more in between my dad's and my mom's height.
• 1:32:44
  My dad, full blooded Norwegian.
• 1:32:47
  Oh.
• 1:32:48
  But he married he he married a five foot tall Irish woman.
• 1:32:51
  So
• 1:32:53
  I'm I'm I'm not a full size Viking, shall we say.
• 1:32:58
  Hey.
• 1:32:58
  Some of the scariest Vikings were the little ones, man.
• 1:33:01
  They had a little bit of that Napoleon complex.
• 1:33:06
  Yeah.
• 1:33:07
  I'm I'm five nine.
• 1:33:08
  That's that's that's all all I get.
• 1:33:10
  Cody would call you six foot.
• 1:33:12
  It's all good, Norsefias.
• 1:33:13
  Yeah.
• 1:33:13
  You're six foot.
• 1:33:14
  Same same.
• 1:33:15
  Same cleats.
• 1:33:16
  Same cleats.
• 1:33:16
  You're six foot.
• 1:33:19
  Yeah.
• 1:33:19
  I we we played that game in high school too, man.
• 1:33:23
  Yeah.
• 1:33:24
  I was six two till I graduated, and then I was I was five eleven.
• 1:33:29
  That's great.
• 1:33:31
  I didn't get to six one till I was maybe, like, 20 three.
• 1:33:34
  How about them dogs from Wyoming versus them Ironman?
• 1:33:38
  Man, what was what's the scout look like?
• 1:33:42
  Keep coach Cody.
• 1:33:43
  Keep them boys eating.
• 1:33:44
  Damn right.
• 1:33:45
  56 to nothing.
• 1:33:46
  Wyoming cavalry in their first preseason game.
• 1:33:50
  First game as a team, man.
• 1:33:51
  I think that's a it's a big statement, and I think you guys are making noise.
• 1:33:55
  AIF.
• 1:33:56
  Right?
• 1:33:56
  Yes.
• 1:33:57
  Yes.
• 1:33:57
  AIF.
• 1:33:59
  I'm excited.
• 1:34:00
  I we are making noise, and it was our first game as a team.
• 1:34:03
  And first game to really practice because training camp, you know, we're all practicing
• 1:34:07
  together, but it's every man for himself at the end of the day.
• 1:34:11
  And so, you know, for us to come together and gel the way we did, shout out, coach.
• 1:34:17
  Thank you.
• 1:34:17
  Appreciate you.
• 1:34:18
  And we will be on your show.
• 1:34:19
  I guarantee it.
• 1:34:21
  But it it was just amazing to see them come together and gel.
• 1:34:26
  You know, having half of the team come with me to minis, from Minnesota to Wyoming, You know,
• 1:34:32
  there's always that thought in the back of your head, like, are they gonna accept us?
• 1:34:36
  Is it gonna be like a Us versus them type of thing?
• 1:34:38
  But we gelled right away.
• 1:34:40
  Everybody knew the mission, knew you know, I told my players, I was like, if you want this
• 1:34:45
  to treat, pay you like a business, you got treated like one.
• 1:34:48
  So we're going out this, we're going out there, treat it as a business trip.
• 1:34:53
  You know, we got one out, one outfit just for chilling, in the van for that long, that long
• 1:34:59
  drive, but then we also have our dress to impress outfit for afterwards when we
• 1:35:05
  celebrate.
• 1:35:05
  So but for a scouting report on Michigan West Michigan Ironman, you know, they're defending
• 1:35:14
  champions.
• 1:35:15
  And, if you know anything about my teams, we're all about taking down them champions.
• 1:35:22
  Left and right.
• 1:35:22
  Honestly, bring them on.
• 1:35:24
  But, you know, they got a good wide receiving core, you know, big physical, but it doesn't
• 1:35:31
  seem like they've really played any competition.
• 1:35:34
  And so we're ready to bring that belt.
• 1:35:36
  Anybody can get it.
• 1:35:39
  Hell yeah.
• 1:35:40
  Oh, well, I we're gonna have a breakdown of that one too.
• 1:35:44
  Now I will be on the road after that game, out on tour with the Operation Combating Veterans
• 1:35:50
  Suicide National Songwriter Showcase tour.
• 1:35:52
  So I'll be on the road.
• 1:35:54
  I will still be trying to do this.
• 1:35:55
  If not, I will see if we can get Willie, our super producer, to help you guys with the show.
• 1:36:00
  That's all another reason that I wanted to get shady in here as well so we can have an extra
• 1:36:05
  body to fill in when I'm off running around.
• 1:36:08
  Norsvius, obviously, has got the link now, and he can dip in with us and maybe provide some
• 1:36:13
  extra commentary if he's if he wants to.
• 1:36:16
  You're welcome anytime, brother.
• 1:36:18
  We'll get back into some football talk here.
• 1:36:20
  Still talking tight ends.
• 1:36:21
  Next one on my list here, B, was Jack Endres from Texas.
• 1:36:26
  Alright.
• 1:36:27
  A little bit on him coming up here.
• 1:36:30
  Long athletic, big catch radius, blocking strength to develop.
• 1:36:37
  Best available.
• 1:36:38
  Three forty six and three thirties.
• 1:36:41
  Damn.
• 1:36:43
  Jack Endres, tight end from Texas.
• 1:36:45
  What is he doing?
• 1:36:46
  He's blocking over there?
• 1:36:48
  Yeah.
• 1:36:48
  Six four.
• 1:36:49
  He's eighth overall rank on the tight ends, one thirty one on the big board Yeah.
• 1:36:56
  So yeah.
• 1:36:57
  So definitely yeah.
• 1:36:58
  Like, Tony said, it looks like possibly a, you know, blocking tight end, maybe a red zone
• 1:37:03
  threat, maybe, you know, open up those holes as a fullback type.
• 1:37:08
  But, yeah, three forty six, three touchdowns a year before that.
• 1:37:12
  Six twenty three with two touchdowns.
• 1:37:15
  So definitely somebody, you know That's crazy.
• 1:37:19
  That's a could be That's
• 1:37:21
  crazy that you can be considered a top 10 tight end with 33 receptions, three forty six, and
• 1:37:27
  three titties.
• 1:37:28
  Yeah.
• 1:37:28

• 1:38:17
  Hey, Bubba.
• 1:38:19
  Yes, sir.
• 1:38:19
  Can you pop up that last comment by coach Vincent Fortner Bay for me, please?
• 1:38:24
  Yes, sir.
• 1:38:25
  Yes, sir.
• 1:38:27
  Structure of the league, AIF.
• 1:38:30
  Okay.
• 1:38:31
  I mean, structure of the league, this is, you know, I've I've you followed my coaching
• 1:38:38
  career.
• 1:38:38
  You know, if I've been on your show, all love and respect to you.
• 1:38:42
  I love you, man.
• 1:38:44
  You know, I just I've been elevating and experiencing new, new stuff, from each league
• 1:38:53
  and just learning new stuff, learning new things along the way, getting that experience.
• 1:38:58
  And, I mean, the structure of this league, I have no complaints.
• 1:39:03
  It it's honestly a sigh of relief not having to be head coach and GM and try to build the team
• 1:39:11
  up.
• 1:39:12
  This team's already established.
• 1:39:14
  You know, owner, well recognized, you know, recognized throughout the league.
• 1:39:22
  With the Michigan muskies, it's always hard to, see a team go down like that.
• 1:39:28
  When I was with the Saint Paul bears trying to build that team from the ground up with Jabari,
• 1:39:34
  you know, everybody like I said before, everybody wants an arena team, but once one
• 1:39:38
  pops up, everyone's so quick to wanna see them fail.
• 1:39:42
  And to, you know, I I feed off that, honestly.
• 1:39:45
  When people say, anything, I'm like, yeah.
• 1:39:48
  Alright.
• 1:39:48
  Watch this.
• 1:39:50
  And, I couldn't consistently prove him wrong.
• 1:39:53
  But this league, you know, the structure is, amazing.
• 1:39:57
  I've been on phone calls all week, last week, and the week prior, with the owner of the
• 1:40:03
  league just trying to, you know, ask the questions.
• 1:40:08
  You know?
• 1:40:08
  No question is a dumb question.
• 1:40:11
  So I wanna be able to ask and get that knowledge from everybody.
• 1:40:15
  And, everyone in the league has been absolutely fantastic to me.
• 1:40:20
  Shout out to, coach LP and, GM Jake Shanks.
• 1:40:26
  You know, I just it sucks what happened out there, but, hopefully, they're able to find a
• 1:40:31
  new home and bring all their players and keep the team together.
• 1:40:35
  You know, and and it's not just that that everybody wants a really I mean, everybody's
• 1:40:40
  been claiming, oh, we need some football.
• 1:40:41
  We need football all year round.
• 1:40:43
  You get the XFL, you get they merged with who they merged with last year?
• 1:40:51
  The Rocks League.
• 1:40:53
  Oh.
• 1:40:53
  Yeah.
• 1:40:54
  Don't we have the AFL now?
• 1:40:55
  I think it was
• 1:40:56
  spring league.
• 1:40:56
  Yeah.
• 1:40:56
  They kinda merge with the XFL, and everybody's like, oh, it's garbage.
• 1:41:00
  I'm not gonna watch it.
• 1:41:01
  And it's like, guys have been clamoring for another league to compete with the NFL to keep
• 1:41:06
  the football all year long.
• 1:41:08
  It's gonna take time for these leagues to develop.
• 1:41:10
  I mean, you know, it's not gonna be a superstar league right away.
• 1:41:13
  So, you know Right.
• 1:41:14
  No.
• 1:41:15
  And even
• 1:41:15
  the NFL, I the NFL wasn't that.
• 1:41:18
  Right?
• 1:41:18
  Like, it it was guys that were working in factories in the sixties even.
• 1:41:23
  Right?
• 1:41:23
  Like, it wasn't that much.
• 1:41:24
  Too.
• 1:41:25
  What propelled the NFL to be probably the top sport in America is the baseball strike.
• 1:41:30
  I think when baseball went on strike
• 1:41:33
  UFL.
• 1:41:34
  Sorry.
• 1:41:34
  You got it.
• 1:41:34
  Yeah.
• 1:41:35
  UFL.
• 1:41:35
  Yeah.
• 1:41:36
  Yeah.
• 1:41:36
  So I I think that's what kinda propelled.
• 1:41:39
  So He was right twice the night out of 30.
• 1:41:41
  Ain't that
• 1:41:44
  Well, man, it's it's it's it's it's
• 1:41:46
  not it's more it's not more people want the leagues to fail, but it's just out of jealousy.
• 1:41:53
  It's like, oh, well, why didn't I get that opportunity?
• 1:41:55
  I think I could do it better.
• 1:41:57
  I'm telling you right now, show me.
• 1:41:59
  Show me you could do it better because.
• 1:42:01
  Oh, and you've done it all.
• 1:42:02
  Right?
• 1:42:03
  I mean, you've been you know, and I I know that your you know, the warriors were an 11 man
• 1:42:07
  outdoor football team, and you were, you know, DB's coach over there.
• 1:42:11
  But now you've done I mean, you've done all the jobs, man.
• 1:42:14
  Defensive coordinator, head coach slash GM.
• 1:42:17
  Right?
• 1:42:17
  You know how much work goes into this, man.
• 1:42:19
  It's no sleep and it's no pay.
• 1:42:21
  Right?
• 1:42:21
  So, I mean, there's only and if there's no money coming into the league, and that's what I
• 1:42:26
  think people people want it to be the product that the NFL is, but the the the NFL isn't the
• 1:42:31
  product that it is without the billions of dollars Yeah.
• 1:42:35
  That are in the league.
• 1:42:36
  Right?
• 1:42:36
  Like, it it is not that.
• 1:42:37
  You don't get the top flight talent without that.
• 1:42:40
  Gotta learn to walk before you run.
• 1:42:42
  Yep.
• 1:42:42
  Exactly.
• 1:42:43
  Norsevious, do you take in any of, like, the lower league football?
• 1:42:47
  You watch any, like, arena league or, you know, consume any football outside of the NFL?
• 1:42:53
  I will dabble in it just a little bit, but I I do have a question for you, Cody.
• 1:43:00
  Do you know the Duluth Harbor Monsters?
• 1:43:04
  Yes.
• 1:43:05
  I do very well.
• 1:43:07
  Okay.
• 1:43:08
  We have a guy in our circle, Yogi Howard.
• 1:43:14
  Yes, sir.
• 1:43:16
  You know of him?
• 1:43:18
  Yes, sir.
• 1:43:18
  Very very well.
• 1:43:20
  Okay.
• 1:43:21
  Cool.
• 1:43:22
  Alright.
• 1:43:23
  Yeah.
• 1:43:23
  He he he's kinda been, dipping out for you know, to take care of his I think he they
• 1:43:31
  changed from Duluth.
• 1:43:33
  I I think they're I think they moved to Minneapolis or something.
• 1:43:37
  But
• 1:43:38
  Nope.
• 1:43:38
  So they they they're still in Duluth, but they just moved up to the AF one, so the top tier
• 1:43:44
  league.
• 1:43:45
  And now they're the Minnesota Monsters, but they're still in Duluth.
• 1:43:48
  Okay.
• 1:43:49
  Okay.
• 1:43:49
  Gotcha.
• 1:43:50
  Alright.
• 1:43:51
  Yeah.
• 1:43:51
  So I guess he's been pretty busy doing that.
• 1:43:54
  Yep.
• 1:43:56
  Nope.
• 1:43:56
  But if you ever see him in the chat, say say hi to him.
• 1:44:01
  Yogi Yogi comes in the chat once in a while.
• 1:44:03
  So over at rap's chat.
• 1:44:05
  He might be watching right now, to be honest with you.
• 1:44:08
  Well, we hope so.
• 1:44:10
  And if you are, shout out to Yogi.
• 1:44:11
  Shout out to the Harbor Monsters.
• 1:44:13
  I got some connections there.
• 1:44:14
  Our girl Kayla Kaye, who is how Cody and I kind of got introduced to one another, you know, pre
• 1:44:20
  bears and everything.
• 1:44:21
  So it's been an amazing thing to come out to.
• 1:44:25
  I coach had an coach Vincent had another comment.
• 1:44:27
  I'm gonna wait to bring that up.
• 1:44:29
  Let's get through Joc Andres.
• 1:44:30
  And I only got maybe, like, one more tight end that's on my list, and I don't know if you guys
• 1:44:34
  got any engine coming.
• 1:44:36
  You're damn right, Owen.
• 1:44:37
  Yes.
• 1:44:37
  We're looking forward to to a lot more.
• 1:44:40
  I better see you
• 1:44:41
  out there, Owen.
• 1:44:42
  I swear.
• 1:44:45
  Is that one of your DFA teams?
• 1:44:48
  Yeah.
• 1:44:48
  Yep.
• 1:44:49
  That's my DFA team.
• 1:44:50
  And I actually Yogi is running that.
• 1:44:54
  He's he's in the upper upper office for that.
• 1:44:57
  So All
• 1:44:57
  all of you is gonna be out there with the cheerleading outfit and his pom poms, I think.
• 1:45:02
  Jay, you better hey.
• 1:45:03
  Whatever you gotta do, I better see you in Shakopee.
• 1:45:05
  It's been too long.
• 1:45:06
  So
• 1:45:08
  Jack Andres, I I feel like this player and, I mean, he's gonna be a a day four, day five
• 1:45:13
  pick.
• 1:45:13
  Where was he be?
• 1:45:15
  Andre, January.
• 1:45:17
  So yeah.
• 1:45:17
  Or 01:31.
• 1:45:18
  So, yeah, somewhere late rounds unless
• 1:45:21
  Right.
• 1:45:21
  So obviously He appointed somebody down the road.
• 1:45:25
  Yeah.
• 1:45:25
  Well, hey, man.
• 1:45:26
  We need players, and we need guys.
• 1:45:28
  And even though it seems like he was more of a blocking tight end down there and had a little
• 1:45:33
  bit of that, the rest of the guys on this list are all pretty much you know, we talked about
• 1:45:38
  Stowers on my list.
• 1:45:39
  Josh Cuevas, tight end from Alabama.
• 1:45:42
  I don't know where he kinda fall in there.
• 1:45:44
  Justin Jolley, a tight end from NC State, another, you know, best receiving tight end in
• 1:45:48
  college contest the catch rate above 70%, but inconsistent blocking.
• 1:45:53
  And I feel like we need to upgrade at the tight end position.
• 1:45:56
  Like, we already have that.
• 1:45:58
  And and, granted, Hawkinson was a kind of a a shadow of his former self
• 1:46:02
  bad.
• 1:46:03
  This year.
• 1:46:07
  The yeah.
• 1:46:08
  The is way underrated.
• 1:46:10
  Oliver ain't bad, man.
• 1:46:12
  And he's cheap.
• 1:46:12
  He could
• 1:46:13
  be Sorry.
• 1:46:13
  He could be a tight end one.
• 1:46:15
  He really could.
• 1:46:16
  He came into the league as a receiving tight end, and he worked on blocking.
• 1:46:23
  He could easily take
• 1:46:24
  over the right end.
• 1:46:25
  Tell him he's
• 1:46:25
  a real dog and that he's
• 1:46:27
  really Well, he doesn't drop the ball, man.
• 1:46:29
  You know what I mean?
• 1:46:29
  He's out there.
• 1:46:30
  He's very naughty.
• 1:46:31
  But, yeah, he's literally
• 1:46:33
  but yeah.
• 1:46:34
  Exactly.
• 1:46:34
  They're two of Cody's hands.
• 1:46:36
  How do you miss whether that that size of the large human being?
• 1:46:39
  Maybe he doesn't have the speed that a KOC wants, you know, down the middle of the field
• 1:46:43
  with what they call the u tight end.
• 1:46:45
  But to me, this team needs to get more into the power running team that we were at the end of
• 1:46:51
  the year, and I know it, like, it has to make KOC throw up in his mouth a little bit to even
• 1:46:56
  consider, like, eye formation and, you know, going with a single receiver.
• 1:47:02
  But, you know, when it's what your team does well and the talent that are around you, can
• 1:47:07
  do, you're like you have to be able to coach the team that you have.
• 1:47:10
  Right, Cody?
• 1:47:12
  Yes.
• 1:47:12
  You have to be able to coach the team with, with what you have.
• 1:47:17
  You know, I just
• 1:47:19
  I I feel
• 1:47:20
  like whatever we do, you know, if it's tight end, I hope if it's this Jack guy, the the 33
• 1:47:30
  receptions, three forty six, three touchdowns guy, if we take him any earlier than the fifth
• 1:47:35
  round, I'm done.
• 1:47:36
  KOC gotta go.
• 1:47:38
  Right.
• 1:47:38
  Isabelle, and I don't think that they're gonna stretch for any one of these guys.
• 1:47:41
  I think it becomes, you know, these later round picks, especially kinda going through the big
• 1:47:45
  board, with Bee on here.
• 1:47:47
  I'm literally running chat GPT thirty seconds before showtime to say, hey.
• 1:47:51
  Give me the top seven names in each position.
• 1:47:53
  There.
• 1:47:54
  No save.
• 1:47:54
  Talk about.
• 1:47:56
  No.
• 1:47:56
  Hey.
• 1:47:56
  Yeah.
• 1:47:56
  That's not my job.
• 1:47:57
  I'm not the analyst here.
• 1:47:58
  I'm the fucking host and producer.
• 1:48:00
  Right?
• 1:48:00
  Like, I got I know my role.
• 1:48:02
  Right?
• 1:48:02
  Nor Spius?
• 1:48:02
  It's like the military.
• 1:48:04
  You know your job, and you go do that job well.
• 1:48:09
  Stand fast.
• 1:48:10
  Stand fast.
• 1:48:12
  So just looking because I I saw some people put this in a in a Facebook page, TikTok.
• 1:48:19
  If the Vikings had Capriam or made Capriam, do you guys think about going after Kenneth Walker
• 1:48:24
  the third?
• 1:48:26
  Oh.
• 1:48:28
  Yep.
• 1:48:29
  I would say no.
• 1:48:30
  Absolutely not.
• 1:48:32
  Just won a fucking Super Bowl.
• 1:48:33
  Right?
• 1:48:34
  Yeah.
• 1:48:36
  Yeah.
• 1:48:36
  I don't know how you would do I don't know how you would swing it, but, I mean yeah.
• 1:48:40
  Well, that's what said.
• 1:48:41
  If we had the cash rates, which we don't.
• 1:48:42
  But somebody threw it out to them.
• 1:48:43
  We need to sign them.
• 1:48:44
  It's just like, dude, we had no cash rates.
• 1:48:46
  Well, buddy, we're I mean, he's gonna get somewhere in the fifties to a 100,000,000
• 1:48:50
  range.
• 1:48:51
  Where did you before we get
• 1:48:52
  to coach Vincent's, last comment
• 1:48:55
  Yeah.
• 1:48:56
  Where Big b, can you help me out?
• 1:48:58
  Where was Jeremiah Love projected?
• 1:49:02
  Let me see because I
• 1:49:03
  because if I'm paying up for anybody, it's gonna be him.
• 1:49:08
  Yeah.
• 1:49:08
  I'm not
• 1:49:09
  I'd be so disappointed.
• 1:49:10
  He he was third.
• 1:49:11
  He was third overall on the board.
• 1:49:13
  Alright.
• 1:49:13
  Well, I won't see him then.
• 1:49:15
  No.
• 1:49:16
  Jeremiah Love, he's he's not gonna I don't think he's gonna get past Kansas City, but his
• 1:49:22
  running mate, Jadarian Price, he is awesome.
• 1:49:28
  Yes.
• 1:49:28
  He's not he's not
• 1:49:29
  a running back too.
• 1:49:31
  He's a one b.
• 1:49:33
  One a, one b.
• 1:49:34
  That's how good those two both are.
• 1:49:36
  And
• 1:49:36
  I think, personally, Jedarion Price fits this team, this blocking scheme much better than
• 1:49:44
  Jeremiah Love does.
• 1:49:46
  And I listen.
• 1:49:47
  I'm I love Notre Dame.
• 1:49:48
  I'm I'm a Notre Dame guy.
• 1:49:50
  So I think Jadarian Price is a better fit.
• 1:49:55
  Where would Jadarian Price fit on the on the big board be?
• 1:49:59
  One zero seven.
• 1:50:00
  So you're looking at a day three.
• 1:50:02
  Big fit.
• 1:50:03
  Possibly a guy that fits into
• 1:50:05
  the Vikings picks for sure.
• 1:50:08
  Yeah.
• 1:50:08
  674 yards, 11 touchdowns.
• 1:50:13
  The year before that, seven forty six, seven touchdowns.
• 1:50:16
  Definitely a guy we'll probably touch out next week or the upcoming weeks.
• 1:50:20
  But, yeah, definitely a guy that could be sitting there, you know, third, fourth, or
• 1:50:26
  fourth, fifth round, you know, depending on how everything falls.
• 1:50:30
  But, yeah, definitely wouldn't mind having him five eleven, I think.
• 1:50:34
  Yeah.
• 1:50:34
  Five eleven two zero nine.
• 1:50:36
  Yeah.
• 1:50:37
  That's a that's a cannonball.
• 1:50:39
  Yeah.
• 1:50:40
  He he's got bacon baked to him too a lot like your boy that you just talked about, Kenneth
• 1:50:46
  Walker the third.
• 1:50:47
  Yeah.
• 1:50:48
  The thing is the thing is the way the way I differentiate the two, Jeremiah Love is a great
• 1:50:54
  outside runner and can break it that way, but Jadarian Price will go right up the middle and
• 1:51:00
  break it right up the middle.
• 1:51:02
  He's tough.
• 1:51:09
  Lost Cody for a second here.
• 1:51:10
  He probably had to take a conference call with the defense.
• 1:51:14
  I'm here.
• 1:51:15
  I'm here.
• 1:51:15
  I'm
• 1:51:16
  I'm back.
• 1:51:16
  Back.
• 1:51:16
  Alright.
• 1:51:18
  Yeah.
• 1:51:18
  So I I think we kinda covered it.
• 1:51:20
  You know, there there's there's, you know, three or four tight ends on this list, and we
• 1:51:25
  kinda touched on a couple of running backs as well here at the end that the Vikings could be
• 1:51:30
  targeting mostly with the it seems like the day three picks Yeah.
• 1:51:33
  That we have in this, you know, kinda running through.
• 1:51:37
  You know, a couple of these the big names at the top, I think Sadiq is in play.
• 1:51:42
  What that looks like, I I don't know.
• 1:51:44
  It depends on how high KOC is on a player like that to to take a swing.
• 1:51:49
  I think he's gotta be about his guy, Bflow, and to get Bflow some dogs.
• 1:51:53
  And you can just stand pat and maybe even trade back in the first round and acquire more picks
• 1:51:57
  and still get your guy.
• 1:51:59
  And that's where I've always been on the you know, I'm not trying to trade back for a haul.
• 1:52:03
  I don't think I wanna go back too far, but maybe trading 18 to 20 where you kinda have a
• 1:52:06
  good idea where those teams are picking and who they're picking because you're having those
• 1:52:10
  conversations.
• 1:52:11
  Right?
• 1:52:12
  You're you're not trading back with uncertainty.
• 1:52:14
  You're trading back going, okay.
• 1:52:15
  We're still gonna be able to get our guy, and we might be able to pick up another third
• 1:52:19
  rounder here that that I think it's it's something that this team definitely needs to to
• 1:52:25
  consider.
• 1:52:26
  And they have to look at all options because they have to improve and they have to get
• 1:52:30
  younger, and they have to do it right now.
• 1:52:32
  Like, this is your draft to do it.
• 1:52:33
  There's no if, ands, or buts about it.
• 1:52:36
  Cody, I wanna bring this up because this was directed at you from coach Vincent.
• 1:52:40
  Fortner Bay.
• 1:52:40
  Coach Cody, I followed your career since we met, and you have done an amazing job in
• 1:52:44
  building a structure there with Saint Paul and now with Wyoming.
• 1:52:48
  Keep doing what you're doing, coach.
• 1:52:51
  And I think, all of us here would would second that as we followed your career as well.
• 1:52:56
  A shout out to coach Vincent Fortner Bay becoming a super fan of his own.
• 1:53:00
  So we appreciate you, coach.
• 1:53:01
  Thanks for tuning in with us.
• 1:53:03
  And Yeah.
• 1:53:03
  We hope so.
• 1:53:05
  I appreciate that.
• 1:53:06
  I and it's all love.
• 1:53:08
  You know, I've been watching his career as well, and, you know, both of us winning a
• 1:53:15
  championship, our first year, really.
• 1:53:20
  You know, it was it was something special, so it was nice to share that with him.
• 1:53:25
  And I got nothing but love and respect for him, honestly.
• 1:53:28
  He's been number one.
• 1:53:30
  Not a lot of people call me and just ask, like, if I'm okay and how I'm doing, knowing how much
• 1:53:37
  I got on my plate, and he's one of them.
• 1:53:39
  So I gotta just give him a a big shout out, man.
• 1:53:42
  Love you, coach.
• 1:53:43
  Fortner Bay.
• 1:53:45
  Honestly, that's what most of this show is about at this point is just getting a chance
• 1:53:49
  to, check-in with my guys weekly.
• 1:53:52
  Right?
• 1:53:53
  And not that we don't text a little bit back and forth, and now we got the group chat going
• 1:53:57
  Yep.
• 1:53:57
  Where we're able to keep in touch with each other.
• 1:53:59
  But to have the privilege of showing up and especially because I am, you know, so far
• 1:54:04
  removed from everything.
• 1:54:05
  I mean, I live in a tiny town in the middle of South Dakota.
• 1:54:08
  I'm five hours away from you guys.
• 1:54:11
  We we don't I don't have the luxury of, like, just going down to the corner bar and seeing my
• 1:54:16
  guys, right, and talking ball and doing all that.
• 1:54:18
  So blessed to have an opportunity, you know, a place like this.
• 1:54:22
  Now we've met new friends like Norsfias, like Shady we had on tonight, guys like Rap that
• 1:54:26
  have been doing this, you know, kind of fan content game for a lot longer than we have, but
• 1:54:31
  having the acceptance, you know, from that community as well and having these people that
• 1:54:37
  are comfortable coming on with us, I think is a a huge thing to us.
• 1:54:41
  Because I'm not I mean, I love sports, but I I'm not, like, the biggest sports creator.
• 1:54:45
  Most of my content has been created in the music world, but I I love it, and I know that
• 1:54:50
  I'm capable of it.
• 1:54:51
  I have all the tools available.
• 1:54:53
  Right?
• 1:54:54
  You have to make do with what you got.
• 1:54:57
  And, I mean, we got the ace in the hole.
• 1:54:59
  We got coach Cody on this team, and he brings a lot of juice to what we do here.
• 1:55:05
  Yeah.
• 1:55:06
  No.
• 1:55:06
  I appreciate that, honestly.
• 1:55:08
  You know, I just out here doing my thing, trying to keep the main thing the main thing.
• 1:55:13
  So, we're gonna keep on elevating.
• 1:55:16
  And as this show builds and my career builds, we're gonna be at US Bank Stadium.
• 1:55:22
  I guarantee it.
• 1:55:23
  It sure feels that way, doesn't it?
• 1:55:25
  It feels like we are on our way, to continue doing it.
• 1:55:29
  And I think because you have such a a presence in Minnesota football now, and I obviously,
• 1:55:35
  you're coaching for the Wyoming Cavalry, but with this DFA league, you know, shout out to
• 1:55:40
  Aaron and everything that they're building, it's just incredible to see what they continue
• 1:55:44
  to do to elevate football, just in Minnesota, but also trying to reach out and to build a
• 1:55:50
  model.
• 1:55:51
  And I think that's what's really cool about what DFA is, is that it's building a model that
• 1:55:55
  then can be placed into any region and to help these people build up because there's plenty of
• 1:56:01
  players out there that could be on the field developing their skills to eventually have that
• 1:56:05
  chance because, I mean, NFL stands for not for long.
• 1:56:09
  Right?
• 1:56:09
  Which means a lot of opportunities open up in the middle of the season where, I mean, they're
• 1:56:13
  pulling guys off the damn grocery carts.
• 1:56:15
  You know?
• 1:56:16
  They're they're pulling them out the thing, you know, mostly kickers in that, but, but they're
• 1:56:21
  always looking for players to fill practice squad reps and to do that.
• 1:56:25
  And all people need is a shot.
• 1:56:27
  Right?
• 1:56:28
  And and not everybody gets a shot to go to a d one school and to elevate themselves to that
• 1:56:33
  level.
• 1:56:33
  But if you can get yourself onto a practice squad, it doesn't matter where you come from.
• 1:56:37
  Right?
• 1:56:38
  And there's scouts that are following all of these things.
• 1:56:40
  And and and, eventually, there's gonna be scouts that are at Wyoming cavalry games, at
• 1:56:45
  least at some of the big ones where they can scout a multitude of players, but you never
• 1:56:49
  know what kind of contracts are laying out there.
• 1:56:52
  Are you gonna go from the cavalry to starting at US Bank in the same week?
• 1:56:57
  No.
• 1:56:58
  That's probably not going to happen.
• 1:57:00
  But the goal is to get you from one step to the next step, not to skip seven steps.
• 1:57:06
  You know?
• 1:57:06
  So I I love that's what you're building.
• 1:57:09
  No.
• 1:57:09
  Absolutely.
• 1:57:10
  And, you know, I just wanna see these players continue to elevate and continue to have fun,
• 1:57:16
  play the game that we all love.
• 1:57:18
  It's just been an absolute blessing.
• 1:57:20
  And, you know, if I can continue to keep on elevating as well, then that's just a cherry on
• 1:57:27
  top.
• 1:57:27
  But I always tell my players I want to see them go further than me.
• 1:57:31
  So, you know, even if even if you're a long snapper, a practice squad long a practice squad
• 1:57:38
  long snapper.
• 1:57:39
  You're making $200,000 a year, you ain't even gotta touch the field.
• 1:57:43
  That's life changing money right there.
• 1:57:45
  So and and I tell people all I tell my players all the time and be like, we've been in rooms
• 1:57:53
  with players that have been at a major d one college, SEC, ACC, all of that.
• 1:58:01
  But when you see them, they're not popping out of the room.
• 1:58:04
  Like, you're not walking in the room, and you're like, oh, shit.
• 1:58:07
  That's gotta be a d one guy.
• 1:58:09
  No.
• 1:58:09
  They just had the opportunity.
• 1:58:11
  They just got seen.
• 1:58:12
  They just knew that person.
• 1:58:14
  It's all about who you know.
• 1:58:15
  So with this DFA league, I'm trying to get these guys on camera with interviews.
• 1:58:21
  I'm trying to get them as much film as I can because that's that's just gonna help them out
• 1:58:26
  along the way.
• 1:58:29
  No.
• 1:58:29
  And and, honestly, that's where that that's where the Scene Project Sports Network comes in
• 1:58:34
  as well is because of the coverage.
• 1:58:36
  Right?
• 1:58:37
  The reason that these d one guys get so much is because their leagues are covered, and now
• 1:58:41
  we're able to bring that into all of these different leagues and, absolutely love it.
• 1:58:45
  No.
• 1:58:46
  Spears, you were saying something before I cut you off there, man.
• 1:58:48
  Go ahead and jump in.
• 1:58:49
  Sorry, man.
• 1:58:50
  I just wanted to say this.
• 1:58:52
  What you said there, you wanting your players to do better than you, I mean, that's a sign
• 1:59:00
  that's a sure sign of a good leader and a good father.
• 1:59:04
  You want your players or your son or daughter to do better than you.
• 1:59:10
  So I applaud you for that.
• 1:59:12
  Absolutely.
• 1:59:13
  100%.
• 1:59:16
  I appreciate that, man.
• 1:59:17
  And it and it comes up from the heart.
• 1:59:20
  You know, I'm a player's coach.
• 1:59:21
  I care about these guys more, about their lives, off the field than I do on the field
• 1:59:27
  because I know if they're good off the field, I ain't gotta worry about them on the field.
• 1:59:32
  So I just I want I want I care.
• 1:59:36
  I honestly care about my players.
• 1:59:38
  You know, they're they're more than than players.
• 1:59:41
  They're family, and I'm a treat them as such.
• 1:59:43
  So doesn't matter what time of the night it is.
• 1:59:47
  They they call my phone, I'm gonna answer it.
• 1:59:51
  Indeed.
• 1:59:52
  And coach Vincent here echoing, the the same sentiments here.
• 1:59:56
  Really incredible stuff.
• 1:59:58
  Anything that you guys need to add to the show before we kinda get out of here?
• 2:00:05
  No.
• 2:00:06
  I'm good.
• 2:00:06
  Yeah.
• 2:00:06
  My team's waiting for me for a team Zoom.
• 2:00:09
  So
• 2:00:10
  Awesome.
• 2:00:10
  Well, go go go
• 2:00:13

  No.
• 2:03:08
  I'm I'm excited.
• 2:03:10
  Base baseball's my my thing.
• 2:03:12
  I mean, you know, I I think I know a little bit about all sports, but I always love love
• 2:03:16
  talking baseball.
• 2:03:17
  But, yes, we got details still to come out, but the show title, the graphics look sweet.
• 2:03:25
  Seven eight nine is gonna be our baseball chat show.
• 2:03:30
  Definitely can't wait.
• 2:03:33
  Just watching some preseason scores.
• 2:03:36
  Twins Again Murder.
• 2:03:37
  Like the cartoon version better.
• 2:03:39
  Yeah.
• 2:03:39
  It I don't care.
• 2:03:40
  It's a bit sweet.
• 2:03:42
  But no.
• 2:03:43
  Definitely can't wait to talk some baseball here in the next few weeks.
• 2:03:49
  You know, when the season gets started, going to some games, you know, just, you know, just
• 2:03:55

  Nipple Grove, Kolkerts.
• 2:04:11
  Okay.
• 2:04:12
  Yep.
• 2:04:12
  Out in Minot, North Dakota, so it's probably a little bit of a drive for anyone.
• 2:04:16
  North Dakota's like South Dakota.
• 2:04:18
  Not a lot going on.
• 2:04:20
  But, yeah, shout out to Skunk Golf, everything that they're doing for us.

  No.
• 2:05:00
  No.
• 2:05:00
  Just, you know and not nothing against myself leaving close close.
• 2:05:06
  Hope to still do some partnerships with them.
• 2:05:09
  Got some great guys there.
• 2:05:11
  Just opportunity speaks and, you know, I just felt it was time for me to jump jump ship and
• 2:05:21
  hook up with Bubba and Cody and, you know, and see where it can go.
• 2:05:26
  Sky's the limit.
• 2:05:27
  I think so.
• 2:05:28
  And I appreciate you putting in a lot of time and effort into this show and
• 2:05:33
  Oh, yeah.
• 2:05:33
  More coming soon.
• 2:05:34
  So we'll look to obviously, spring training is going out.
• 2:05:37
  We probably won't launch seven eight nine until I'm back from the tour Yeah.
• 2:05:40
  To really get that going, but that gives us a little bit of time to come up with a framework
• 2:05:44
  as far as what the show's gonna look like, what we wanna talk about.
• 2:05:47
  I I think the show will be obviously focused.
• 2:05:50
  I'm a Cubs fan.
• 2:05:51
  Be, you know, a Twins fan, so we're gonna cover a lot of AL and NL Central news.
• 2:05:56
  Oh, I definitely love the Cubs too.
• 2:05:57
  I mean, you know, there's
• 2:05:59
  no league stuff.
• 2:06:00
  Right?
• 2:06:00
  I mean, cover a little bit of the broader league, but, you know, a l NL Central focused
• 2:06:05
  and obviously focused mostly on, you know, cubs and twins.
• 2:06:08
  Yep.
• 2:06:09
  Until the twins are eliminated from the playoffs after the first month, then they will
• 2:06:13
  focus on a different team.
• 2:06:14
  So so
• 2:06:18
  Man, I can't wait to get cheap tickets to the twins.
• 2:06:23
  They're gonna be cheap.
• 2:06:24
  Alright?
• 2:06:26
  We'll try to be there.
• 2:06:27
  I mean, maybe not opening day because it's too damn cold, but maybe I'll make it up there
• 2:06:31
  sometime.
• 2:06:32
  Think I gotta see if that happened.
• 2:06:34
  Be that first week in May.
• 2:06:35
  See if they're playing at home, like, May, and maybe I'll come up and spend a weekend with
• 2:06:41
  y'all in Minnesota.
• 2:06:43
  We'll hit a game together and
• 2:06:44
  shoot Yeah.
• 2:06:45
  We could definitely shoot something out for June.
• 2:06:49
  I know the wife and kid are going with her mom on a week long trip around Father's Day and
• 2:06:54
  stuff, so maybe that might be a better meeting.
• 2:06:57
  That's what they get you for Father's Day.
• 2:06:58
  They all
• 2:06:59
  get I ain't gonna complain.
• 2:07:00
