  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the Purple Paradise. Now,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Vikings obviously are not playing because they sucked this year.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: They're not playing, but they did.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Make some headlines I thought was interesting over the weekend,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and since I have editorial control, to me, this was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the most interesting thing.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I did an emergency Mallard monologue on the Fifth Hour
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: podcast Saturday episode, which I know you heard because you're
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a real fan. You're not a fraud, you're not a phony, right,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You're a real person, so you paid attention. You're a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: fan of what we do, so I know you heard
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour emergency Mallor monologue on the Vikings. However,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: there's been some new information that has come out, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: if you missed it over the week at a shakeup
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities. There As over the weekend we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: learned that the Vikings had said bye bye the quezy
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Adolpha mensa, the GM and the.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Logic behind it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: The reports claiming that he was using Pro Football Focus
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: better known by their gangster named PFF, to evaluate and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: select players for the draft. So essentially he was just
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: using a nerd website to decide who the Vikings should pick.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: That's the report there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and what would.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Have been fine if they had given him good advice,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but he had historically bad picks in the NFL draft
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for four seasons, zero hits in four years as the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: GM of the Vikings, and so that was it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: He also got rich.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Hipped for taking the two full weeks of maternity leave,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: among other things.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yea, it's one of those things that well, you're.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You're giving it, but if you really love your job
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and you want to work, you shouldn't take the full
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: two weeks. He took the full two weeks, so he's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: getting slammed for that, and so that is a good
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Who leaked? Who do you think leaked this story?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Because it's one thing you changed the GM find that happens,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but who leaked the story? At the former Viking GM
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: quasi Adolpha Mensa was using a NERD website to draft players,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and that that was one of the things that led
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to his demise in Minnesota.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: So I've got my take on this.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I've got kling On Morton's Kosher salt and recycling, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: are going to make a juicy, lucy delicious Get that burger,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but the cheese right in the middle there, Yum yum
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to my tump tump.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So a.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's clear that the move made by the Vikings was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the first in a chain reaction, right that was the beginning.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The Vikings said, Okay, we're gonna randomly get rid of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the general manager a month after the regular season ending.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But somebody's out for blood, and it would indicate based
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the indication is it's more than one person. It's more
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: than one person that this was not just information that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was tossed out. This was a hit. Had an astragrind
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: somebody had an astraground here. Now, we always ask two
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: questions in situations like this. The first question is who benefits?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And the second question is why leak?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Who benefits? And why leak now? Well, and don't tell
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: me it was quazy. The GM here that he leaked it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: He looks like a guy who got pushed off a pier,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and he was wearing concrete sneakers. They didn't have the.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Swoosh on them, if you know what I mean.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Here, for four years, no success in the NFL draft none,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mostly Ham and Eggers. The Vikings were drafting, and that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: who they were getting in. And now we find out,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: if this report is accurate, that he was drafting off
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: essentially spreadsheets. The Vikings were using the algorithm. It was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: kind of like you would shop for airplane tickets. It says,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: what's the proper time to shop for the cheapest airfare
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to buy a ticket to go to Charleston, South Carolina.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, so let me see here.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you're supposed to buy it on a Tuesday afternoon,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but you have to buy it afternoon, but you have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to buy it before four o'clock. And if you buy
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it at the perfect time, which probably two twenty five,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you can save a couple bucks.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So that's that. And this, of course is after the fact,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: reporting a right.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Nobody said any of this prior to the Vikings getting
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: rid of the GM. Then all of a sudden, all
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: these things pop up.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Here. It's easy to take some shots.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And the guys already floating down the river, face down
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the the body of water there, I guess, in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this case the lake land of ten thousand Lakes. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: every team from what instand, every team has used the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: nerds at Pro Football Focus now to say that that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the only thing that you're doing right, that's crazy. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this is being leaked like its contraband that the Vikings
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: GM former GM was using. And so that tells you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it's personal. It's personal, and the leak is a message,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and it's the words of the great LeVar Ball. Stay
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in your light, stay in your lane, nerd, what's wrong
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: with you? And it would appear, based on a minute
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: long investigation and deliberationally available evidence that Adolpha Mensa was
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: an interloper and was never welcomed to the cool kids
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: club he was. He didn't have the NFL scouting bloodlines right,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He wasn't a second or third j generation NFL person,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: No dirt from no mud under his fingernails from playing football,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and also the perception is that he didn't truly pay
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his dues. He played basketball at Princeton. Princeton, that's not
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a football guy. Worked on Wall Street and then he
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was an analytical person in the NFL. That was his
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: job there, walking into NFL locker rooms essentially speaking klingon
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: when he went in there. And so who leaked it, Well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's the old guard, the football lifers.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: They're the ones.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: More likely than not, the guy's annoyed that this guy
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: came in here and he was not part of their
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ecosystem and an outsider, and he ended up running an
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: NFL team.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So it's over the weekend. It was a dog pile,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: is what it was.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And the twenty twenty five Vikings the ship not be sinking.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: The ship sank. And it's not like you blame the iceberg. No, no, no,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you blame the nerd holding the map is what you blame.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: That's you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But now, staying with that theme, in Minnesota, Vikings wide
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: receiver Justin Jefferson said recently in some podcast that seven
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: people heard that the team had quote difficulty at quarterback.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of obvious, and he admitted.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson that the Vikings would have performed better with
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold since he had more experience working with the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty four. So Jefferson, the quote was
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: having a quarterback that already had a season under his
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: belt with us, knew the plays, knew the playbook, knew
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the players throwing to me.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Jefferson said, I quote definitely feel like we would have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: done better.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Is what he said.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So the question for the class on this one, Justin Jefferson,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the all everything wide receiver giving a sermon that the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Vikings would have been better off with Sam Donald over
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy this past season.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Does that work for you? Or no way? All right?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So the arrow on this one is pointing towards no
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: way all right. This story is kosher in the fact
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that Justin Jefferson went and grabbed a Morton's container of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: kosher salt and then dumped it straight into the grave
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of his now former GM crazy Adolpha Mensa. Okay, here
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you go, pal, I'm gonna pour some salt over there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: This was not just a rant and rave by Justin Jefferson.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: This was a trial transcript, if you will, in many
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: ways here because the verdict guilty. Justin Jefferson did not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: just praise Sam darn I. Guess Jefferson must not have
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: been there when Donald played against the Lions and the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Rams at the end of his Minnesota career.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe he missed those games.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But he also hit Justin Jefferson the daily double, the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: daily double. Not only did he slobber all over Sam Darnold,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: but he also called out JJ McCarthy. In fact, he
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: actually took a zamboni and ran over Justin Jefferson ran
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: over him with the zamboni the quarterback JJ McCarthy, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: then backed up the zamboni to run over him again
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: b B be and backed it up and and then
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: did it again. And despite a red shirt season. Remember
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy had a red shirt season to learn the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: plays because he got hurt. But he was there and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: through Osmosis was supposed to learn everything and had the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: quarterback whisper and all this stuff. And according to Justin Jefferson,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he did not know the playbook. That's what Jefferson said.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Have somebody that knew the playbook, Well, why would you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: need to have somebody who knew the playbook if the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: guy you played didn't know the playbook. So he clearly
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: called out the lack of preparation for JJ McCarthy. So
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's Viking on Viking crime. And despite having a year
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to learn the playbook and everything like that, it didn't
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: work out. So you're saying the quiet part out loud.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Find and it's pretty clear that Jefferson, when the end
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of the season Get Together the exit interview happened, he
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: was not was not advocating for the continuation of the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Viking general manager, and instead he was likely testifying against
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Viking general manager. Nevertheless, let's kill the fairy tale
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: right now. We believe in the truth and broadcasting, so
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we will be the myth busters, and as the myth busters,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we will destroy the myth that is being spread by
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Pretty clear that this is some nonsense here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: This is a man who shot liberty valance situation. When
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend, right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: The legend is that this is the way it is,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and that's that. But if you look at Sam Darnold,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Seattle is going to play less than a week from today,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That is correct when the issue
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is that Donald's not the reason they're there. And there's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this myth, it's this disease that people have as well
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the teams in the quarterbacks. So it must be teams
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in Super Bowl must be the quarterback. Teams in Super
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Bowl must be the quarterback against top ten teams against
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the top opponents that the Seahawks played. Sam Donald was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth ranked quarterback in the NFL this year. Orgo,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: he was not flying the plane. He was in coach.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: He had a middle seat and there was no available
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: space in the overhead bin and he was holding a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: bag on his lap of turnovers. In fact, he had
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: twenty turnovers Sam Donald this year. That is the most
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the NFL. He was worse at
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: turning the ball over ball security than Geno Smith and Tua.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And I have these fan boys that worship Sam Donald
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: because they think, oh, the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So it's all because of of course, these are dumb people,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and that's the way it is. But never let the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: truth get in the way of the good story. Now,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: last word, we have the coaching shuffle, will work our
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: way through that as we get through the overnight. But
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: how about in San Francisco or Santa Clara former Atlanta
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Falcon coach, the failed Raheem Morris. What a joke of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a coach this guy is? And he lands on his feet.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He gets a new gig. He will be running the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Niners defense when the next season comes around here in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: He was hired to.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Replace Robert Sala, who is going and doing motivational speaking
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in Nashville now at the Grand Old Opry and will
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: occasionally coach the Tennessee Titans. So the question, Raheem Morris
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: named the forty nine er defensive coordinator?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Is this an.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Upgrade, a down grade or a lateral move for the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Niners defense? So being thorough on this, and I do
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: know Raheem Morris because he was the Rams defensive coordinator,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm familiar with the man's body of work and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I will be fair when I tell my friends or
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Nesto in the Bay and Terry in England is a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: forty nine fan jay school.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: This is a major downgrade.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm not upset as somebody that likes the Rams,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I am. I support this. This guy's not that good.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So that is a good move by the Niners. You
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: have just worsened your defense. Good job by you. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: don't even think this is close. I don't all right,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: this is like a name recognition situation. Well, we know
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the name, and so we can't be that bad.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: He's being the other.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But if you do this shuffle, there's a lot of recycling.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of recycling going on here, and it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: just another name. These names just kept bouncing around. It's like, okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that guy coaching in Atlanta. He was with the Rams,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: so I now go to the Niners and then bounce
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: around somewhere else there. If you look at the resume
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of Rahue Morris, loaded rosters often middling results in most plays,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is no real elite defense. There's the defenses generally don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: have a lot of fear with him coaching.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And when Morris was with the Rams or Morris, it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: drove me insane because they played such a soft branded defense.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: That they are cushion.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You just gave up a lot of things you didn't
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: necessarily need to give up, playing patty.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Cake, and it was very maddening, and it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Was consistent, and the newtered pass rush and just like
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: playing soft safe, it was just bad soft zones with
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the rams which was not not particularly good. There a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: lot of cushion and problematic and low pressure rates and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's the soft underbelly, is what
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it is. It's that soft underbelly that you have. And
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it's again, it's a recycling situation. The en loves to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: recycle these guys. They just bounce from team to team
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to team, and you wonder even how long he's going
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to be there. It's more like a pit stop situation.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well this is a stepping stone. Everyone else,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who's the Niners defensive coordinator, it seems to get a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: head coaching job, So I'll just go hang out there
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: for a year or two if you're Raheem Morris and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: some other dumb team will hire me, which blows my
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: mind because he's failed twice as a head coach and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: really just not have the skill set to be a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: successful head coach. It with a beer at a talented
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: team in Atlanta, great underachieving Falcon team while he was there,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and you look at it, and there's also just hire
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a friend Shanahan Kyle Shannan's Ah, we work together.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I know the guy.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It's like the same names, same ideas, different years. They
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: just shuffle the deck and that's it. And it is recycling,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: It's like it's take it to the recycling plant. That's that.

• 17:05
  Speaker 3: And now we get into it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Here we begin this hour in the Valley of the Sun,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and that's where we're going to begin. Another name has
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: been added to the coaching ranks. Here, another box on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the big board has been filled. If you have not heard,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and maybe you missed it, maybe you missed it. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: don't know the news out we have learned the Cardinals
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that is plausibly an NFL team, not a good one.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals have picked their new coach and it's some
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: brotherly love. The Cardinals going for not a Philadelphia guy,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but brotherly love Mike the Flair Who Mike the Flair
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is the coach of the Cardinals. The former Rams offensive coordinator,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: former Rams offensive Cord Grease to wait five year contract
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to be the head coach and he will be heading
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: off to the The son Arizona wanted Clint Kobyak, he
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: didn't want them. Instead, he chose the Raiders. Matter having
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to pick between the Raiders and Cardinals. It's like, would
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I rather be Do I want the electric chair or
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: firing squad?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Which one do I want? I don't know? Metaphorically of course.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: All right, So the Cardinals' owners sent up this glowing statement,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and I gotta give you some of this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: It's such bull crap. I want to share it with you.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It's so much fun. These are so much fun, man,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: are they good?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: The statement from the owner said, Mike Lafleur possessed quote
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all the traits necessary to lead this team to success. Hmm,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: okay that you had to announce that he had all
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the traits? Isn't that kind of obvious you hired him?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be kind of obvious that you have all
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the trades? But they had to announce it. Then the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: statement went on to say he's highly intelligent. Well that's good.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Were you planning and hiring someone stupid? Does that mean
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the last coach is an idiot? And quote exceptionally sharp?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that go with highly intelligent? Wouldn't you assume someone
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: who's highly intelligent is exceptionally sharp?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: But what do I know? I just do the Overnight show.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: He was also praised for his creative football mind. Mike Lafleur. Really,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: oh soeh, someone is creative as opposed to the other
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: coaches that weren't creative all right, described as a quote
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: dynamic and innovative leader. What is your evidence on that?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Because he's never been a head coach, What is your
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: evidence on that? I can go on and on. Now
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: lev Flair, who's the thirty eight year old, the younger,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: younger brother, and he replaces Jonathan Gannon who was whack
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: adoodle out of Arizona there in early January. So this
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: has been an almost month long process or process, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: they land on they being the Cardinals, land on Mike LeFleur,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: another NEPO baby, getting the job there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: So that is a good jumping off point.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question Mike le Flair, the newest
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: NFL head coach, he joins the the Cardinals. Does this
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: move excite the fan base there in Arizona?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Doesn't expect the fan base. So I've got my observation
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: on this.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I've got NBC Hit Show stagehand and Anderson windows and doors,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna play ABC one two three, ABC one two three,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So number.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Enough.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: All right, No one And when I said, I mean
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: no one, no one is going to uh even roll
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: over in bed. Who's a Cardinal fan, even a casual fan.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Hiring Mike LeFleur as your head coach. This is the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: biggest dud you could possibly have. Way to go, Cardinals,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Way to go. You're not even gonna stretch. You're not
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: forget your roll. No, there's no stretching. You not even
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: gonna check your phone. You just hit the snooze and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: you're in the snooze.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Cruise is what you're on right there. It's so bad.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals continue every coaching hire. They're remaking that early
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: two thousands, all the way up until twenty seventeen, that
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: NBC hit show The Apprentice, hosted by our current president.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And because it's when you get the Cardinal job, it's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: an apprentice situation, is what it is. Right, Arizona is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: running in NFL trade school when it comes to the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: head coach and it's like, come on down, you want
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to be a head coach, All right, we'll make your
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: dream come true. Why not get your feet wet, learn
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: on the job. Just don't break anything expensive and you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: can pretend to be a head coach in the NFL,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you get credit on your Pro Football reference page and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: all that. There is a pattern here. It's patternicity is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: what it is. If you look at the pattern here,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: one unproven leader after another. Now, even when you hire
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a proven coach, there's no guarantee at least the person's
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: shown the pedigree when they've done it before, that they
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: can do it again. And while I am not totally
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: against hiring first time coaches, when all you do is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: hire first time head coaches, well that becomes a problem also.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So that is now if my malord math etrect, not one,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, not five, six consecutive,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: six straight head coaches that have had no real head
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: coaching experience or any head coaching experience in the past
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: as the.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Full time head coach.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: There was something that were interim coaches, but the full
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: time head coach that has not happen here. So at
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: this point I would think there's not many Cardinals fans.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: It's very small. It's called narrow casting, not broadcasting. But
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: we are on in the Valley the Sun. You wouldn't
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: know that because we hardly get any calls from Cardinal fans.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't call either. I'd be embarrassed if I was
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: a Cardinal fan. But anyway, so the fans got to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: be numb at this point, emotionally frostbitten.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: If you will.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Here the franchise. They live in the suburbs, the Cardinals franchise.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It's media Socrety Meadows. It's a nice suburban neighborhood out
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: far away from town. And you text the fans.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Here's what they should do. The Cardinals should.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Text their fans when and if Mike Lafleur actually does
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: anything memorable, they can let them know, say, well, we
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: actually hire somebody to do what they were doing, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I just don't hold your breath. Don't hold your breath.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: That's probably not gonna happen here. And he wasn't even
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: playing a he wasn't even planning. Now the streets are buzzing.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, the streets are buzzing that the Cardinals
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: wanted Clint Kubiak and he wanted to go to Vaas
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: you imagine how bad your franchise has to be for
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: someone to pick the Raiders over your team. Have you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: seen the Raiders the last twenty years? They're an embarrassment, right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: like all the tough rate. When I was a kid,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the Raiders were badass. Their fans were badass, and now
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: all of them are middle aged old dudes who used
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to be badass, and.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: It's really mean. That's it mean.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Anybody younger is like, I'm not a Raider fan. They
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: suck embarrassing. You can't really be a tough guy with
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: edge wearing Raider merch when they lose every game or
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: just about every game, and they commitment to excellence. They
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: tried to lose this year to get the number one pick,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and there's no great quarterback in the draft. They lost
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: intentionally to get the top pick, and they're stuck with
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the guy's a fourth round talent in Fernando Mendoza at
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the top of the draft.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Good luck with that anyway.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Back to the point, So the Cardinals here, they hire
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the son or they wanted to hire the son of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: an NFL coach. They couldn't do that, so they hired
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the brother of an NFL coach in Micha Lafleur.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: It's a brothers act, is what it is here.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So the flour blood brothers think about this. Over twelve
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: percent of NFL coaches are related as brothers. You've got
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the hard rough brothers with the Giants and the Chargers,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and now you have the flour blood brothers with the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers. So we've seen this
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: type of movie before with the Cardinals, and I don't
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: expect the ending to be any different here now. Page
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: two though, one of the big selling points, and I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to get into this with you, one of the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: big selling points is well, yeah, he's never been.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: A head coach, Michael for but but.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, he's got Listen, he's got the tree. He's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: got the tree. He's part of you know who's coaching tree?
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So question, do you believe the Sean McVey connection, the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: McVeigh coaching tree angle is a good omen for Michael
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Lafleur having success in Arizona?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: So I'll answer this by saying it means nothing. It
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: means nothing, okay, and more so with the Rams. Now,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: there have been some McVeigh assistants that have gone on
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and did good things, but it's not because of Sean McVay.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: It's because they knew what they were doing. And it's
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: always odd to me to hire someone because they happen
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to be part of a successful coach, because the most
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: successful coaches do it mostly by themselves. Andy Reid in
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, I put Sean mcvah in that same basket,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and people act like Sean McVay. He's gonna leave a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: little container of secret potion and he's gonna, you know, take.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: It out of the sorcerer's workshop. He's gonna give it
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: to Lafleur and say, Okay, you're my guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Here's a little potion, and you can do that. And
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: why not even though this guy, Michael Lafleur has been
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: riding the caboose on the McVeigh train, and mcveigh's in
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the steam engine. Mcveigh's in the steam engine. And so
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that's what we've got. And so it guarantees bupkus squad
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: douche is what it guarantees here. And mcveigh's not some
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: cheerleader raw Rah, let's go. It's I think of a
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: cheerleading coach. I think of Robert Salah, cheerleader, right, raw
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: ra guy, great order, great talker, silver tongue devil, Robert Salah. McVeigh.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: He's a control freak. In terms of the office. It's
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: his production. Think of it like a movie, and McVeigh
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: wrote the script. He's in charge of the cameras, in
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: charge of wardrobe, in charge of where they're going to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: film the movie, all of that. Everyone else is a
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: stage hand. So you just hired a stage hand. Congratulations,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. You hired a stage hand. And McVeigh he
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: runs that production. That's that's what he does here. So
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: if you want to talk about the resume, Michae Laflora
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: already ran his own show with the Jets. You might
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: not remember that because why would you? And did not
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: did not make it unscathed. When he ran the Jets offense,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: how did that go? Don't ask? Do not ask? Is
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: puke in your mouth bad? When he was with the Jets,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he ran the offense for two years.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: The Jets ranked.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Thirty first and eighteenth in offense. There's only thirty two
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: teams and boom goes the dynamite.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And he was shown the door. Get out of here,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: went to Sean mcvay's coaching rehab clinic out in Malibu,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: and now he's back as an NFL head coach.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So not exactly a glow up. When he was coaching
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Jets offense there did not go that well. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: here we are, so and the issue is this Arizona
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Jets. Right, they're the Jets, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: they have cactus and sand instead of Jersey diners in
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: pollution and all that. And so you look at it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: They don't have an elite quarterback. Their quarterback's really good
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: with a joystick, not a football.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That's a problem. They're gonna get rid of him anyway.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So they don't have a quarterback, and they don't really
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: have a solid roster. It's pretty mediocre roster that seems
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to be problematic. And it's like hope in a paper bag. Well,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I don't see that. It looks like we know it's
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: hoping there. We know it's an empty bag. No, there's
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: hope in the bag. But no, there's no there's no
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: real hope. There's just an empty bag. That's all it is,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: is just an m bag. And so that's where the coordinators.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to earn your stripes in theory when you
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: don't have an elite roster and you coach guys up.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: That's the argument. Coach people up and they do a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: great job, and all that stuff. And in non elite situation,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: anyone can coach when you've got a great roster and me,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: we'll see what Lafur does you. But he's not gonna
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: have McVeigh. There's a double edged sword because McVeigh knows Lafleur.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals are saying, well, he's gonna have Laflour is
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: gonna have an edge when you play the Rams. But
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: McVeigh also knows what makes this guy tick. So it
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: cuts both ways there. It's kind of like throwing spaghetti
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: against the wall and seeing what sticks here. It's say,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: continues a theme there with the Cardinals, the vortex of average,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the twiddling of thumbs. That's the Cardinal way. There are
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: spam franchise. They continue to be the Arizona Cardinals a
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: spam franchise. They exist so the serious teams that are
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: trying to win can fatten up their records. And that's it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't figured that out by now, I
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. That's just how they
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: operate there. It's just a filler, filler franchise.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, over the weekend, there was a story that popped
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: up that I wanted to spend a couple.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Of minutes on it. I think it's kind of funny.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I always get a kick out of this, And I
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: don't know if you're into it or not, but let
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: me make my pitch and see if you care about
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: this story or not. So over the weekend, we learned
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: that former NFL player Jason Kelsey his late night talk
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: show was canceled. He did a late night talk show
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: in the offseason last year. He might remember it, probably
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: don't because nobody watched it, and they're claiming they being
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: the Kelsey clan. Over the weekend and the TV people
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: are like, well, the show's not coming back, however, planning
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: on pursuing some other opportunities, Like he didn't really want
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: to do the show again. That's the argument. So question
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: former Eagles senator Jason Kelsey's talk show not returning, his
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: late night Friday night talk show not returning here in
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. How does that story sound to you?
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: All Right? So Kelsey, he did this, this dance his people,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: he left to pursue other opportunities.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Is what the story claimed over the weekend. It's kind
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: of like an ad for Anderson Windows and Doors. Really
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: good framing right, really good framing, and I know why
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: they do it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of stupid people people. Oh yeah, well
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: he could have done the show again, but he didn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: want to do the show. He had all the things
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: he wanted to do.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my fat ass that he had other things he
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to do. It's an emergency exit hatch that they
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: opened up. They framed it the right way. Spin Class.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: There's a courtyard here, they have hot yoga, they might
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: do some spin in there. So it's it's like spin class,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: is what it is.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: They're acting like he chose not to continue the TV
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: show and that no one told me to leave.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And it was all organic and all that stuff. Of course,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Kelsey was not a host in the traditional sense. He
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: was more like a cardboard cutout with a microphone, very stiff,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: no timing, no edge, no hook.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Other than that he did a great job. And it's
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: it's like a drad Ol story, right, spin spin, spin,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: spin spin, It's hope, it's hope it lands on creative decision.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: The reality is that the show had no ratings, apparently,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: no advertisers that liked the show, and no juice. So
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: strike one, strike two, and strike three and.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Bad boring and broke, the Killer Bees, Bad broke, boring
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: and broke. And that's it. So grab some benches. Hawk Harrelson,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the old White Sox broadcaster back in the day, would say,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: grab some bench. He'll grab some bench.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Go sit down. Now, I did the math on it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So ESPN averages seventy million homes. That's down a lot
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: from where they used to be, but they're about seventy
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: million homes. The Jason Kelsey Late night talk show pulled
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in two hundred and ninety thousand viewers out of seventy
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: million possible viewers. Now that's extreme, right, because seventy million
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: in the show is on late. Some people go to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: bed early. But still, let's say it's like fifty million
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: potential viewers, two hundred and ninety thousand viewers. Right, that's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a garage sale. It's about a garage sale. To give
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you some comparison, the overnight show that we do right
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: now in the middle of the night, when ninety nine
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: percent of the public is sleeping, when you do all
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the downloads and all that, we challenge that number. And
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we're an overnight radio show, and he's on with a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: seventy million platform, Jason Kelsey. No one was watching, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Kelsey got the gig. If you look at it, he
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: got the gig because of his last name. It's kind
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: of a hot name right now. And he had a
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: crush on Conan O'Brien. He grew up watching Conan O'Brien.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: And the networks keep confusing this fandoms. Well, he's a
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: big name, he's a fan, he must have talent. And
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: there's also this Kelsey fatigue, which I think is legit
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: overexposed the leftovers. You know, it's like you leave it
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: out on the counter and it goes bad and all
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Less is more, less is more, And this
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: was a little too much, just a little bit too much.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: How about that out this? God, that's real good, all right? Ben?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: You and I didn't even know the Pro Bowl hadn't happen, No,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: we did not. I've been to the Pro Bowl before.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: There's plenty of players that have dropped out, yeah, just
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: you know, personal reasons, but they don't want to play.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: The ratings have gone down since back when it was
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: played after the Super Bowl, that's when ratings were actually good.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Should they move it to back after the Super Bowl? No,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter yet.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: They could play it two months from now and the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: players won't care. So no, as long as the NFL
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: kept it around. It's a weird flag football game. But
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when they play it. The players aren't
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: into it. The fans know the players aren't into it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Next all right, So the Brooklyn Nets just recently got
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: blown out by fifty three points by the Pistons, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: that's not even a week after they got blown out
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: by fifty four points by the Knicks. Sure should there
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: be some kind of penalty for teams that don't even try,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: like the Nets, like what's going on?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Well, there should be, but Adam Silver is encouraging that
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care. The NBA commissioner doesn't care. He claims
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: he cares. He doesn't care. This is a major problem
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: with that sport that nothing's gonna happen on the that though.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Next Ron Darling said that the reds Hunter Green could
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: be the best picture in the game if he's injury
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: free next year. Then later that day, the Red sign
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: au Haneo Suarez.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Are they poised to make a deep run?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: They were, what it's a soft division coup, but they're
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: still they're not vag great.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: How do we do you pass it? That's a win.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Put on your part. That's a win. I got a win.
• 35:24
