00:00:23
Speaker 2: What's wrong with Winnie? That's one of the more famous... media stories of all time.
00:00:34
Speaker 3: I think I can, I, I think it's the statute of limitations is gone.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: Do you know the what's wrong with winning one? I've heard the story before.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: It's all Brandis used to be with the wolves. Musselman's the coach.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Wolves are winning meaningless games at the end of the year. Just meaningless games. You know, four wins, five wins, six wins. It's like, we're trying to get a better draft pick here. Why are you trying to win these games late in the year? So Barrero's on media row, right? And over the din of the crowd, because we've made some kind of miraculous comeback.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: We've taken the lead.
00:01:07
Speaker 3: The other team's calling a timeout because we've got their backs against the wall.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: The crowd's cheering.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: The Wolves players are all high-fiving as they go to the bench.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: And Brandis looks down the row and looks at Brown and goes, what's wrong with winning? I always love that. Maybe, maybe.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: You don't think that's as funny as I do, but that's one of my all-time favorite media stories of all time.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: He's so bitter about Barrero writing, why are we trying to win these games?
00:01:38
Speaker 3: It's like when AJ got so bitter with me that the first thing he said to Rosen after they clinched the cup, I just want to say, Dan Cole, you doubted us.
00:01:48
Speaker 2: But now we're here. We have hundreds of good media stories. More on those later. Right now, though, it's time for 534. for five questions. Well, actually three, but five sounds like more than four.
00:02:05
Speaker 4: Brought to you by Willow River Company.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: Question number one.
00:02:11
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in-depth look at the welfare of the wolves.
00:02:19
Speaker 3: In-depth in the common man's home doesn't.
00:02:22
Speaker 2: Seem like it really... You know... I can barely do the surface stuff.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves' Sands Ant lost to the Golden State Warriors 119-114 last night at Target Center. Steph Curry finished with 42 points for the Warriors. Jonathan Kaminga had 20 for the Wolves. LaMelo Ball just eight points, but he did have eight assists, four rebounds, but five fouls and six turnovers. Common, what sticks out to you from last night's Wolves loss?
00:02:49
Speaker 2: They didn't realize you have to play defense, too. Ant's gone. Can't pout. Can't drag your... You're sorry. You know what? You got to play.
00:03:02
Speaker 3: It's going to be two months minimum, right? And he's coming back. He's not gone forever. He should be better than ever. You should be tanned, rested, ready. Play some defense.
00:03:18
Speaker 2: I think emotion plays a lot in sports, right?
00:03:21
Speaker 3: To me, that's... You're fired up, you're not fired up, you're confident, you're not confident. All the players that are playing have talent, varying degrees of talent, but you get to the NBA or NFL.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: NBA, MLB, NHL, you've got a lot of talent, right?
00:03:34
Speaker 3: So sometimes I think really the difference is just your conviction to wanting to play well, your drawing a line in the sand and saying, no more, we're not going to give up anymore here.
00:03:51
Speaker 2: And so I would have thought, wait, okay, Ant's out.
00:03:54
Speaker 3: Let's circle the wagons and let's go out there and.
00:03:57
Speaker 2: Let's show Ant, show ourselves, show our fans we're at home.
00:04:01
Speaker 4: We'll be all right.
00:04:02
Speaker 3: Because they all said it. When the news first broke, oh, we'll be fine. I don't worry about it.
00:04:08
Speaker 2: We're deep here. We got a lot of players. We have a lot of confidence in ourselves. We'll be fine. Then they go and lay an egg like that. And I know they rallied back.
00:04:16
Speaker 3: Well, I think Golden State at that point sort of in, you know, it's like prevent defense in football.
00:04:22
Speaker 2: You know, a team's getting Lions lost to Buffalo earlier this year, right?
00:04:26
Speaker 3: And I think it ended up being just like a one-score game. But it wasn't a one-score game. They were down two, three scores the entire game. Buffalo would score, they would score. Buffalo, there was too much distance between the two, and that's what happened last night.
00:04:39
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm disappointed about that. Go win that game. Golden State's not very good.
00:04:44
Speaker 3: I mean, Steph Curry, he's older than LeBron, isn't he, or close to it? He's got to be almost 40. I know he's great. And Draymond, what does he have there? That's just not much of a team. Butler's not playing, right? So that's, to me, the disappointment is go out there and win that game.
00:05:02
Speaker 2: But they didn't.
00:05:03
Speaker 4: It's one game.
00:05:03
Speaker 2: It's fine.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: But that's why yesterday I was a little down in the dumps about losing Ant.
00:05:10
Speaker 2: I think we're going to be in some trouble. It's not the end of the season. I get that. But I don't like what I saw yesterday.
00:05:18
Speaker 4: Question number two.
00:05:21
Speaker 2: Programming predicament. Yeah, two games tonight.
00:05:26
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Wild return home from their five-game West Coast swing as they host the New York Islanders tonight at Grand Casino Arena.
00:05:33
Speaker 2: Buck drops at 7.
00:05:34
Speaker 1: Of course, you can watch it on Wild Plus, but you can listen to it right here on the fan and on the iHeartRadio app. And then Thursday night football, the Green Bay Packers host the Carolina Panthers 7.15 p.m.
00:05:44
Speaker 2: That's on Amazon Prime.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: Common, what are you going to do about tonight's The Programming Predicament.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: I haven't watched The Rockford Files in a while.
00:05:58
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, did you know they were showing The Rockford Files on, like, was it WeTV, back-to-back episodes, seven to eight, eight to nine, for a couple of years. I watched, for a year and a half, every night I watched both episodes. Now they've moved it to, like, they've got some other shows.
00:06:15
Speaker 2: In that spot now. Other old people show, boomer shows.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: And now, like, Rockford Files doesn't come on until like 10 or 11 o'clock at night.
00:06:22
Speaker 2: Well, my teeth are in the glass by then, so I haven't watched the Rockford Files. Do you DVR them?
00:06:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I have them, yeah.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: But I mean, I've seen every episode now 13, 14 times that it's like, I'll take a little bit.
00:06:33
Speaker 2: Don't need a DVR.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: I'll take a little break from them.
00:06:37
Speaker 3: You basically told me that the Isles are a terrible team in a terrible city with terrible fans in a terrible stadium. And I do like football. Monday night or Thursday night, but God knows what night.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: And it is the Bears. You know, I mean, they're our closest pursuer right now.
00:06:48
Speaker 3: They're right on us. Objects in the mirror, closer than they appear. They're 5-2. We're 6-0. And so I will watch Thursday Night Football. I definitely will. That's my choice tonight.
00:07:02
Speaker 4: Question number three.
00:07:10
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in-depth look at the state of the school.
00:07:17
Speaker 1: Something called J. today about eight trade deadline deals he'd love to see. And the first one on there, he'd love to see Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor traded to your Minnesota Vikings. Common, what would you be willing to give up to bring JT to Minnie?
00:07:38
Speaker 3: Well, apparently that won't happen because Nolan Teasley, according to who was it who wrote it?
00:07:43
Speaker 2: He was on the power trip today. I'd podcast that right now. Right now, I would.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: He doesn't think it's realistic or he doesn't think it's going to happen, I guess is what he said, right? And one of those reasons would be the general manager, Nolan Teasley, first year general manager, he hasn't had a chance to go to the draft yet.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: I don't want to give up a lot of capital for that.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: And then if you get a guy like Jonathan Taylor, he's making big money, right? Big money, big prizes, and throws a salary cap out of whack. And because you've got other guys you've got to pay next year. And it's like, well, that's all fine and good, but And if you were a 500 team, yeah, okay, yeah, you're three and three.
00:08:24
Speaker 2: You're all right.
00:08:25
Speaker 3: You might sneak in as a wild card club, last seven seed, get drilled by the second seed.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: What's the point of that? But you're 6-0. You're the only undefeated team in pro football. Your defense is elite.
00:08:38
Speaker 3: And your offense probably just, the passing game's probably not going to get, the only way the passing game gets better is if just Murray gets, and I don't know if it's because he's still not comfortable in the complicated offense or if this is just, Kyler Murray, that's what you're going to get. He's not going to complete a ton of passes. He's not going to, he's not going to, he's not going to strafe the secondary, the opposition. Like you would see, um, um, you know, Jim, uh, Jim Kelly, um, Buffalo quarterback.
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Josh Allen.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: So Jim Kelly was a quarterback. He's never, I don't think he's ever going to be that guy. So you're passing games, you're passing game. You might improve the passing game if you're running games better, right? And I don't think the running game with Jacobs and Mason Jennings or Mason Williams or classical gas is the, I don't like it. And then the people I trust tell me the interior, the offensive line just isn't very good right now. And whether it can get better with the players they have, we don't have time to wait for them to improve.
00:09:41
Speaker 4: We have to win it.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: We got to win.
00:09:42
Speaker 3: Now I say, go try. I'd be willing to give up quite a bit to get them. Cause I do think this is a year when you, if your defense is that good, I don't want to waste it because you're going to have to score.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: Some points eventually, I think. So I don't know.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: I would you be willing to make a trade like that? Or do you think, no, it depends on the price. I would love to have them. You know, I'm not going to give up the first round pick for him. These running backs at that age, the value does tend to go down. Now, Christian McCaffrey, I thought I saw that he was traded for a two, a three, a four and a five. when 49ers acquired him from Carolina. Now I think they've liked that, and he's been pretty good for them. I don't think I'd be willing to go that much. Definitely not giving up a one for him. But, you know, a two and maybe like a mid-round draft pick or something, I would consider that.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I absolutely would. Yeah, you're right. You don't give up a one. I'm on board with that. But I think you have to make.
00:10:43
Speaker 3: Some kind of an effort to improve the club offensively, especially with the run game.
00:10:47
Speaker 2: Because, you know, the.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Coaches admitted, you know, we're a ball control team now. We're a running team. Right now, that's where we're at.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: We're a running team without great running backs. Yes, that's the issue.
00:11:00
Speaker 1: Correct.
00:11:01
Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of Five Questions.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: Well, actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.
00:11:10
Speaker 3: Brought to you by my amazing friends at Willow River Company.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Willow River Company, your outdoor living experts. They were at my place yesterday.

Speaker 2: Sort of a sneak behind the curtain.
00:12:58
Speaker 3: So, before the last segment, it sounds just like Steely Dan.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: It's got that feel to it.
00:13:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:13:08
Speaker 4: Yacht Rock.
00:13:09
Speaker 2: Well, it's called Yacht on the Rocks. Yacht on the Rocks.
00:13:13
Speaker 3: You know, they called Don Fagan one time. Somebody was doing a documentary on Yacht Rock. So he picked up the phone and he said, yeah, we're doing a documentary on Yacht Rock.
00:13:23
Speaker 2: And Don Fagan just hung up the phone. I don't think he likes the term Yacht Rock.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: So prior to the last segment, we closed out the noon hour with the segment. And I go back to the kitchen area to warm up my luncheon. program director chad ever goes he looked at me just disappointed just bitter just you didn't even know the wild were playing tonight did you and i go no that's why i went to ten of b as i said as a matter of fact then i was telling deuces i said I had nothing in that segment, and I think that's apparent to everybody. So I lean on you like handing the ball off, right? Just let you run three yards here, four yards here.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: Just trying to move the change. Well, typically I fumble. Well, you do.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: And as I start searching for something on the playbook, and then I stumbled across the Caleb Williams cleats thing, which I thought was a cool story.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: And that's like play action.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: They think you're going to keep talking hockey, and then boom, out of nowhere, I bring up cleats, and all of a sudden we're airing it out again, and we get to the top of the hour, and we're done.
00:14:19
Speaker 2: What's wrong with winging it? What's wrong with winning? What's wrong with winning? What's wrong with winging? I don't think there's anything. That could be the call. That's not it. It's another one of those potential spams.
00:14:33
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of political spam text messages in the last week.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Why do you care if I'm going to vote? Everyone that comes over, I just get stop, stop, stop. Allegedly, they're supposed to stop. I don't know if they do. I keep doing stop and reporting spam, but I keep getting them. Speaking of.
00:15:00
Speaker 3: The cleats thing with William, somebody said, how hard is it to cover up a logo?
00:15:05
Speaker 2: Seems like the damage is self-inflicted.
00:15:06
Speaker 3: Unless he's looking to get a spokesperson deal with Caddx. I don't think he cares. Yeah, the money's not important to him. He doesn't... He can find $ 12, 000 in the cushion of his couch. Yeah, and now Flacco is going to pay for them. And I think it's like, well, I don't want to cover it up. It's just the principle of things, right? Some people, they take a stand. Yeah, I mean, I can understand the text message.
00:15:31
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just cover it with a logo? Who cares?
00:15:34
Speaker 3: Really, the only thing that matters is you're protecting your health. If you believe that it actually makes it safer for you to play football, more power to you, knock yourself up. But why do you want to give up the money? You don't even need to do that. But I guess he doesn't care.
00:15:45
Speaker 2: You know? And, you know, here's the other thing I don't know.
00:15:50
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that, you know, the NFL, the only logos are Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour.
00:15:58
Speaker 2: Those are the only ones that are allowed, right?
00:16:03
Speaker 3: Do the players, I mean, do the players get a cut of, we talked about this with baseball yesterday. about the, I should die. Maybe we'll, um, and we got spreads from incumbents. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow. I want to take a look at that, that, that, that whole, we're talking about the CBA with the baseball and there's gonna be a lockout and such like that, but it's so much more complicated than just, well, we need a salary cap and a salary floor. And let's go ahead and just decide on, on a number of formal.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: We'll go from there.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: There's, there's, there's so much money involved and it's from so many different, um, sources that, That it's hard to keep even track of.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: And so there's so much money involved that.
00:16:45
Speaker 3: Just saying, well, the players are going to get $ 254 million a year spread amongst everybody in the team.
00:16:50
Speaker 2: And that's it.
00:16:50
Speaker 3: There's more money to go around than that. But that for another time.
00:16:55
Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of the Caleb Williams things, I'm pretty sure the NFL hires spotters before games.
00:17:02
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: Because I think.
00:17:04
Speaker 1: Former Viking sideline reporter, Greg Coleman, like that was his job. He would be walking around and checking everyone's cleats and socks to whether it's logos, whether they have certain colors.
00:17:15
Speaker 6: Yes.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: I believe like that was his, I'm assuming he was getting paid by the national football thing to be looking around to see if anyone was not up, not doing the proper uniform code.
00:17:26
Speaker 2: And the reason I bring it up that gig.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: Well, the reason I bring it up is, is if, um, i know i guess it can't be the wild wild west but you know if a player wants to wear something and because he feels it's better for him that somebody wants to pay him that but he.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Has to show the logo but i guess there's deals with the league and that's why i say do the players benefit from those.
00:17:43
Speaker 3: Deals financially as well they must i would think but that's for another time you know you you um you were talking about a a trade deadline acquisitions you know.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Um In the National Football League, USA Today.
00:17:58
Speaker 3: USA Today, on his wish list, what he thought should happen was Jonathan Taylor to the Vikings. This is a list story from CBS Sports, ranking the big-name players possibly on the move and putting them into tiers.
00:18:16
Speaker 2: They like to do that at CBS. So they have impact starters.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: They have Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Max Crosby. Khalil Mack, Buda Baker, Darren Payne. He brings the pain. He brings the pain. Tuli, Tui, Tulu, Tulu, Dudu, the linebacker for the Chargers.
00:18:38
Speaker 3: Josh Sweat, Amani Hooker, and Josh Downs. Those are the players that CBS Sports say these are impact players. And that's the ones you have to give up a lot for.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: Right i mean they're.
00:18:50
Speaker 3: Not just they're just not coming here for um you know a fifth round draft.
00:18:55
Speaker 1: Pick well i mean josh towns i don't think you have to give up a lot for you don't know and he's he demanded a trade which i find humorous i just don't think he's good enough to be in the demanding trade category.
00:19:05
Speaker 3: He's caught 26 passes for 307 yards.
00:19:09
Speaker 2: He's okay he's an okay receiver he's an okay receiver um.
00:19:16
Speaker 3: And, you know, on the other tiers, there don't seem to be.
00:19:21
Speaker 2: Sneaky rentals? There's a Viking player listed on that.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings, a sneaky rental.
00:19:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why is he not a bit of bigger... Yeah, a couple moments last game, finally.
00:19:37
Speaker 3: He's more of a quarterback player probably than anything, right? They kind of go hand-in-hand, I think. I mean, just.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Other than TJ Hawkins in his head moments, what's your wide receivers has had like a good season, right? I mean, Jefferson's getting the bulk, but he's still, that's his numbers are still down compared to what we're used to from him.
00:20:01
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison's barely a factor, right? And Jawan Jennings has been a non-factor. Here are, um, here are, um, a.
00:20:17
Speaker 3: Couple of text messages regarding when we were talking about, um, possibility of, you know, the, the, uh, USA Today today talking about trade you'd like to see would be Jonathan Taylor.
00:20:29
Speaker 2: To, to Minnesota.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: Text message says, um, Sorry, Common, I just started listening a couple minutes ago, so I don't know if this has been brought up, but why are people constantly talking about getting running backs? We need a competent quarterback like Kirk Cousins, and this team would be virtually unstoppable. I think it's more complicated than that. It's... You and I just talked about it earlier. It's just hard. I don't think Cousins right now is available. I guess if you called the Radiators and said, hey, we'd love to entertain the possibility of trading for Kirk Cousins, they'd probably listen.
00:21:13
Speaker 2: But they'd probably ask for... They'd ask for.
00:21:22
Speaker 3: I mean, don't you think they would ask for some fairly high draft picks for a guy like Cousins if you're asking for Corbin?
00:21:27
Speaker 1: I don't know what would be the asking price for Cousins. And then what kind of money? It's weird because he's, I guess here he might not be a rental. I mean, he could be your starting quarterback next season. But given his age, you're not giving up a first-round pick for him. You're not giving up a second-round pick for him. Maybe a third at best. And then at that point, given Vegas is still in the mix right now, are they just going to give up their starting quarterback? while they still have a shot at the playoffs? For a mid-run pick, I don't see that either.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: Well, and the other thing is, you said Pellicero was on with the pop-up.
00:22:02
Speaker 3: Yoga pants, breasts, sauce-soiling himself. And he said he didn't think it was likely. Teasley, first year on the job, he doesn't really want to trade draft picks, wants to go to the draft. Well, then there would be no difference in trading for Cousins or trading for Taylor. They both have big contracts, right? You've got to pay them, so it's like If Pellicer believes the Vikings really wouldn't be in the market for getting a big-name running back like Jonathan Taylor, I don't think they'd be in the market to get a.
00:22:33
Speaker 1: Big-name running back. I mean, Cousins' contract, he might only be under contract for this year.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: I'd have to look it up.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got a one-year deal or a two-year deal, but he might not even be on the books for next year.
00:22:43
Speaker 3: And then also, isn't another factor where, like with Kyler Murray, for instance— He's getting paid like $ 20 or $ 30 million this year, but the Vikings are only having to pay like $ 1. 5 million.
00:22:55
Speaker 2: Yes. So maybe that would be part of the deal, too. I don't know.
00:22:59
Speaker 3: Spread Swing's coming up next. Deuce is here, Rosen as well. Spread Swing on the Common Man program right after this.
00:23:03
Speaker 2: Here on The Fan. This is the son of Common Man, Deuce, here.

00:23:12
Speaker 2: Yes, tragically, he is.
00:23:13
Speaker 7: You're listening to the Common Man program here on The Fan.

We have the final episode of MASH.
00:24:17
Speaker 2: Final episode of Cheers. You had The Sopranos. You had Breaking Bad.
00:24:23
Speaker 3: And you also have Spread Swing.
00:24:27
Speaker 4: Spread Swing.
00:24:30
Speaker 2: Legendary program. I think that this bread swing is starting to catch on. I think they really enjoy it. Can they watch it live? Is this one of those they can watch?
00:24:39
Speaker 1: No, I would recommend streaming it. Especially if Deuce is going to take the time to come in studio every Friday.
00:24:45
Speaker 2: I'm putting so much effort into this. You don't have to look at the camera. The cameras aren't working. Your score would disagree with Deuce. How bad was it? You want to go over the scores?
00:24:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:25:00
Speaker 2: Well, heck yeah. Let's do it. Let's just dive right into it.
00:25:02
Speaker 1: Going into last week, I was in the lead with minus two and a half points. Common was in second with minus 37 and a half. Rosen was in third with minus 40. And Deuce was in last place with minus 56.
00:25:19
Speaker 3: It doesn't even seem possible you can be minus 56 in this game.
00:25:24
Speaker 7: I defy expectations week in and week out.
00:25:26
Speaker 2: Five, six weeks into it, too. That's it. Well, let's just begin with Deuce. All right. I don't know.
00:25:33
Speaker 1: On Thursday Night Football, on the new Twitter account he made up for the common man NFL spread swing, he got pretty haughty when his Chicago Bears, who had minus three against the New England Patriots, won by six, so he gained three points.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: He's feeling pretty good about himself. I was feeling myself. But then.
00:25:50
Speaker 1: He decided to take the San Francisco 49ers going across the country. Minus three at Atlanta, and they lost by nines. You lost 12 points there, and you lost money to Rosen on that one.
00:26:00
Speaker 7: That reminds me. I got the cash in my backpack. We won't do Venmo. We'll do straight cash.
00:26:06
Speaker 2: I love it. Thank you so much. It's very kind of you. What was the item you were in the wager? It was seven bucks.
00:26:10
Speaker 4: Wow.
00:26:10
Speaker 7: The rich get richer, Rosie.
00:26:12
Speaker 1: I will blindly bet deuce on any spread swing pick he wants to go with.
00:26:15
Speaker 3: Just.
00:26:16
Speaker 2: You tell me what pick you want to do, and I'll bet money.
00:26:18
Speaker 7: Oh, I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to get back on track.
00:26:21
Speaker 2: You've never been on track, so how can you get back?
00:26:23
Speaker 7: How can you get somewhere you've never been?
00:26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't get back to somewhere. So, Deuce, you lost nine points last week.
00:26:28
Speaker 1: You're now at minus 65.
00:26:32
Speaker 2: But we have a new person in third place. Whoa. That would be the common man, Dan Cole.
00:26:39
Speaker 5: What? What?
00:26:42
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute now.
00:26:44
Speaker 1: Common, you had Detroit minus three and a half against Green Bay last week.
00:26:47
Speaker 2: They didn't win, but only by three, so you lost a half point. Imbecile.
00:26:51
Speaker 1: You also had the Jets minus four and a half against the Dolphins at home, and they lost by three.
00:26:56
Speaker 2: What a Morris. You lost seven and a half points there.
00:26:59
Speaker 1: You lost eight on the week, and you are now in third place at minus 45 and a half. I Rosen actually gained some ground, even though he did lose a double down and it didn't go well there. You had Minnesota minus six and a half against the Colts, but they won, but only by six. So you lost a half point, but then you double down. So you lost a one point. Oh, but you wasted a double down.
00:27:21
Speaker 4: I did.
00:27:22
Speaker 1: You're right.
00:27:22
Speaker 2: But I got one less in the bank. Right.
00:27:25
Speaker 1: And so you lost a point there, but you did gain 12 points because you had the other side of deuce on that Atlanta, San Francisco game.
00:27:30
Speaker 2: You gained 12 points there. So you gained 11 on the week.
00:27:34
Speaker 1: You're up to minus 29. You're now in second place. And you're a leader, and it's not even really close anymore after last week. I had number 18, J.J. McCarthy and the New York Giants at plus 10.5 against the Houston Texans, and they pulled it off in overtime. They won by six, so I gained 16.5 points there. Then I had Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay plus three against Carolina.
00:27:58
Speaker 2: They won by 30. Oh my, you're running away with it.
00:28:00
Speaker 1: So I gained 33 points. I almost gained 50 points last week. I am now at 47 and in the lead. So I'm at 47 points in first. Rosen, you're at minus 29 in second. Commons at third with minus 45 and a half. And Deuce is in the last place. With minus 65. So today the order is Deuce Common Rosen Tenna.
00:28:24
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:28:26
Speaker 2: Your score is the same as the temperature in Antarctica.
00:28:31
Speaker 7: It's been a miserable effort for me, but this is the week where I turn things around. I picked up some points with this squad last week and I'm going to roll with them again, even as they travel to the West coast to take on the Seattle Seahawks. I'm back in the bears plus three. I know it's on the road. I don't care about Caleb Williams, $ 12, 000 fine. I don't care about the 12th man. I think the bears are going to roll into. Well, they made a major trade too. They got Jeffrey Simmons. He's the missing piece to the puzzle. I think I, I really like the Bears in this matchup. They've been playing well. Seattle did look dominant against the Chiefs, but maybe Kansas City just isn't quite what we thought they were.
00:29:08
Speaker 3: When you're watching the Bears get destroyed, just hum this song to yourself.
00:29:12
Speaker 2: Old Sam Darnold has an army. With a tutty here and a tutty there. Here a tutty, there a tutty, everywhere a tutty, tutty. I like the Bears. Give me a Chicago plus three. Chicago's a tough guy town. Seattle is a tough guy town.
00:29:29
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:29:32
Speaker 2: You know the weather in Seattle, though, by the way, for Monday night?
00:29:34
Speaker 4: No.
00:29:35
Speaker 2: The cloudy? Might have an impact.
00:29:37
Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
00:29:40
Speaker 4: It is me, right?
00:29:40
Speaker 2: It is you, yeah. You're in second. You're in second now. I, um.
00:29:46
Speaker 2: This game is actually... I mean, every game is big, regardless. But this is a bigger game for Detroit than this one is.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: Minnesota 6-0, Detroit 4-2. Detroit finally won back-to-back games for the first time in forever. I mean, they didn't win back-to-back games at all last year.
00:30:02
Speaker 5: Right.
00:30:03
Speaker 3: And until they beat the Cards and then they won last week against the Packers, they had not won back-to-back.
00:30:09
Speaker 2: Offenses, they're still good.
00:30:10
Speaker 3: They're not the offense they were under Ben Johnson, but they're more predictable now. They don't have as much pizzazz or panache. Their defense has gotten better the past couple weeks, but this is a game where against Minnesota at 6-0 at defenses, and you know, it's been a nice battle when it was Ben Johnson.
00:30:27
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson and Brian.
00:30:28
Speaker 3: Flores, that was fun to watch the two of those go against.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Like Frazier Ali.
00:30:34
Speaker 3: Let's not put them on that level yet.
00:30:37
Speaker 2: Maybe more like.
00:30:41
Speaker 2: Oscar Bonavina against George Shavalo. I'll take that. Let's go Bonavina-Shavalo. That's a great matchup.
00:30:49
Speaker 7: Branch and Joseph coming back.
00:30:51
Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
00:30:52
Speaker 2: Branch was back last week, and he had a pick. He adds a lot to the club. And Kirby Joseph, I don't know.
00:30:58
Speaker 3: He's had his what-are-you-doing-Cam-Dansler moments, but he's pretty good.
00:31:03
Speaker 2: But I think they need this. You lose this at home. You go to 4-3.
00:31:07
Speaker 3: Vikings go to 7-0. And then all of a sudden, you're basically swimming upstream. That doesn't necessarily mean the Lions will win, but there will be a sense of urgency there.
00:31:18
Speaker 2: I still, for the bit, I'm taking the kiddies.
00:31:22
Speaker 3: But I won't be surprised at the Vikings because I think their defense is special.
00:31:25
Speaker 2: And I think the Lions.
00:31:27
Speaker 3: The thing is, the only thing going for Detroit on the blitz scene is that Goff.
00:31:35
Speaker 2: He releases the ball quickly.
00:31:36
Speaker 7: He handles the blitz fairly.
00:31:37
Speaker 2: He handles the blitz pretty well.
00:31:39
Speaker 3: That doesn't guarantee anything, but if he can stand back there, and he hasn't thrown an interception yet this year.
00:31:46
Speaker 2: He's 14 touchdowns. I think it'll be, I, the expectations, it'll be a good game. And I think it'll be a close.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: Game, but I, I think the Vikings are going to edge them, but I'm taking the kitties for the bit.
00:31:57
Speaker 2: Plus do I, Oh, I got to give points.
00:31:59
Speaker 1: I was going to say, do you think, um, this point spread shows that nationally the Vikings are still being disrespected a little bit, right? Because you always get three points for home team. But then you're adding a half point for a team in Detroit that's good, but the other.
00:32:15
Speaker 2: Team is 6-0. Hasn't lost a game.
00:32:17
Speaker 1: I am still wondering if nationally a 6-0 team coming into a A place like Detroit, a point or two?
00:32:25
Speaker 3: I think it's because the offense has been so ineffective, especially when you have Justin Jefferson. Statistically, he's ranked as the 50th best receiver in pro football. So I think nationally they're down in the Vikings, particularly in the offense.
00:32:39
Speaker 8: But last week the Vikings were only six-point favorites, six-and-a-half against the.
00:32:42
Speaker 2: Colts at home.
00:32:43
Speaker 8: So against a team that was really going nowhere with a really ineffective offense with the passing game. I think it's just an indication more of the way NFL games normally go with the occasional blowout or two.
00:32:55
Speaker 7: And still I wonder when the last time a 6-0 team was underdogs in a game against a team that has a couple losses like today.
00:33:03
Speaker 2: I mean, that happens. Yeah, I don't know. It's more the points. It's the three and a half, right?
00:33:07
Speaker 1: Because like I said, they always give the standard three points for the home team. But then you're also saying... If this was 50-50 and they were on a neutral field, then Detroit would still be favored. That's what it is indicating to me.
00:33:18
Speaker 3: Some people would say, describe it as the Vikings are being disrespected and maybe they can rally around that.
00:33:25
Speaker 7: What do you think of the Lions now?
00:33:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm taking the Kitties.
00:33:29
Speaker 3: All right.
00:33:29
Speaker 2: Shocking.
00:33:31
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:33:38
Speaker 8: Speaking of head scratchers, I really hadn't looked at this team until I literally walked into it and saw your sheet in front of me here and looked at the point spread.
00:33:45
Speaker 2: And I went, wait a minute.
00:33:47
Speaker 8: The Rams are only six and a half point favorites against the Chargers. The Rams are three and four. Desperate team in that NFC West where you just have got to keep winning with San Francisco and Seattle ahead of you and kind of getting out of their doldrums and getting healthier. The Chargers are... I don't know if they have one fan left in Los Angeles. I think the remaining fans are still in San Diego.
00:34:09
Speaker 2: They're awful.
00:34:11
Speaker 8: They haven't won a game yet. They're 0-6, and I just don't see them. The trading deadline next week, all this stuff happening. They're playing at the same stadium, so it doesn't really matter. The Rams will have a big advantage with the fans, not that that matters. The Rams are going to go on a roll. I think they'll roll the Chargers in this game. I'm really surprised.
00:34:27
Speaker 2: Again, we were just talking about point spreads.
00:34:29
Speaker 8: There are only six and a half point favorites, so I'll take the Rams and just take my chances. I think that's a good chance for a blowout.
00:34:36
Speaker 2: How about a double down?
00:34:37
Speaker 3: No.
00:34:38
Speaker 2: Well, if it's a blowout. Well, I'm going to say I got to keep that one. You wasted it last week. You only got one available.
00:34:42
Speaker 8: At least I didn't really lose it, but not a good choice.
00:34:47
Speaker 3: No.
00:34:47
Speaker 2: That was with my head. I was embarrassed for it. I appreciate it.
00:34:52
Speaker 4: Spread swing. Here's the leader.
00:34:59
Speaker 2: What are you going to do? I know the game everyone's excited about this week.
00:35:02
Speaker 1: That would be the New York Jets hosting the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:35:06
Speaker 2: Is this going to be his version of taking the air out of the ball?
00:35:08
Speaker 4: Got a big lead.
00:35:09
Speaker 2: Let's just go ahead and prevent defense. I don't think anyone's even televising that. I'm hitting the gas.
00:35:15
Speaker 5: Are you?
00:35:16
Speaker 2: I'm going to gain 13, 14 points on this one.
00:35:19
Speaker 1: The Jets are favored at home by a point and a half over the Las Vegas Raiders, but I think the Las Vegas.
00:35:24
Speaker 2: Raiders are just the better team.
00:35:26
Speaker 1: I know they've lost four in a row, but if you look at their four losses, they're all the really very good teams.
00:35:32
Speaker 2: Kansas City, New England, Buffalo, Carolina.
00:35:34
Speaker 1: I think Vegas is a decent team, whereas I know the Jets are not, and they just lost to Miami at home last week.
00:35:41
Speaker 2: So I am going to back Kirk Cousins. and the Las Vegas Raiders. You like that? You like that?
00:35:47
Speaker 1: And I'm going to take that point and a half, and I'll take Vegas plus one and a half.
00:35:52
Speaker 2: Might be his last start for Vegas. Mendoza might be. No, he's going to win the game, and then they're going to be in the hunt in the playoffs. I see. Ten has got it figured out. He's our fearless leader.
00:36:03
Speaker 3: He is.
00:36:03
Speaker 7: Let's take the back seat and follow the lead.
00:36:05
Speaker 4: All right. Spread swing.
00:36:14
Speaker 7: Any of these other games that are left on the board. To be fair, I never really like any games because regardless of what I do, I'm going to lose a handful of points. But I'm going to go with another road underdog.
00:36:25
Speaker 2: Maybe you could get.
00:36:26
Speaker 3: The Diamond Joe endorsement. Somebody should try to sell the Diamond Joe endorsement to Deuce. Deuce here for Diamond Joe.
00:36:33
Speaker 2: 1-800-LOSE-NOW.
00:36:34
Speaker 7: That's the gambling hotline. I remember a listener texted that in a little while ago.
00:36:38
Speaker 4: It was brilliant.
00:36:38
Speaker 2: I like it. Love it.
00:36:40
Speaker 7: I think the Ravens are going to pick up a surprise victory.
00:36:44
Speaker 2: Over the Buffalo Bulls. You're not really doing that, are you? You're intentionally trying to lose as much as you can.
00:36:49
Speaker 7: It's the return of Lamar Jack. I think he's going to come back. Is he playing?
00:36:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing. Sounds like it. He's on track to play. He's practicing this week.
00:36:58
Speaker 7: Yeah, his first game since, what, like week two or three, maybe?
00:37:02
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
00:37:02
Speaker 7: I got a good feeling about the Ravens. Just let Lamar cook.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: He'll do his thing.
00:37:07
Speaker 7: Or three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, bring it to Derrick Henry or any of.
00:37:11
Speaker 2: Those other fellows.
00:37:11
Speaker 7: Give me Baltimore plus three.
00:37:12
Speaker 2: I like the Ravens.
00:37:15
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: Here we go, A-Rodge. Here we go. Oh, boy. I'm starting to believe in A-Rodge. This is one of those... Well, for first place... Well, this could be.
00:37:33
Speaker 3: Seriously, I mean, if you're looking for... If you're looking for, you know, storybook seasons and stuff, how about A-Rodge in his final year?
00:37:42
Speaker 2: Because he has said this is it.
00:37:43
Speaker 4: And they're... What is their... Are they four and.
00:37:45
Speaker 2: Five and two. Five and two. So is Cleveland. I didn't expect.
00:37:50
Speaker 4: Especially.
00:37:51
Speaker 2: It's an AFC North Division collision is what it is. Yeah, it is. Tomlin out. McCarthy's their coach now, right? Yes. Yeah.
00:37:58
Speaker 3: And, you know, I've always thought McCarthy was the beneficiary of a really good Aaron Rodgers back in 2010 when he won the big game. Because... Since he's not been with Rodgers, McCarthy's coach, he doesn't have a winning record as a coach.
00:38:13
Speaker 2: He had the gig in.
00:38:14
Speaker 7: Dallas, and he got canned.
00:38:15
Speaker 2: It was awful. He had some good seasons in Dallas, regular seasons in Dallas.
00:38:20
Speaker 3: But they got the band back together, and A-Rod would be a great story at home.
00:38:26
Speaker 2: And these teams do not like each other. No, they sure don't.
00:38:30
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and give the three and a half points, and I'm going to be pulling for A.
00:38:33
Speaker 2: Rogers.
00:38:34
Speaker 7: Coming back from France. Circadian rhythm.
00:38:36
Speaker 4: Body clock.
00:38:37
Speaker 2: Doesn't bother me at all.
00:38:40
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:38:44
Speaker 7: Am I up?
00:38:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't snipe me. Well, Deuce, we're going to go head-to-head again. I like it. Sniped.
00:38:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I.
00:38:56
Speaker 2: The Bills are coming off a bye. They're well-rested.
00:38:59
Speaker 8: The Vikings, of course, play them here a week from Monday. Do you think they're overlooking the Ravens then, looking ahead to Minnesota? They might be looking ahead to the Vikings, a preview of the Super Bowl. So, no, they're not overlooking them. But I do like any time I can get Buffalo minus three at home with that crowd, with that craziness.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: Bills Mafia. Bills Mafia, Josh Allen this, Josh Allen that. Only three.
00:39:24
Speaker 8: I mean, that seems like. I don't care that Lamar's coming back. Buffalo's got a better team.
00:39:29
Speaker 7: Also, anytime you can go head-to-head with myself and Spence, you typically take those odds. Did you get sniped.
00:39:35
Speaker 2: There, Tenneby?
00:39:36
Speaker 1: I actually had Buffalo as my third choice. If he would have sniped my second choice, I was going to go head-to-head against Deuce. They're coming off a bye. They're getting DJ Moore back on offense. They're getting Ed Moore back on defense. A couple of key players coming back. They're going to be rested, healthy. And Baltimore, like, Lamar Jackson's coming back, but it doesn't mean he's 100% healthy. He might just be there at a point in their season where they've got to go force it here.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, got to take the bills here.
00:40:05
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:40:09
Speaker 2: Take the bike. Seems like the two of you just.
00:40:12
Speaker 4: Shied away from that.
00:40:14
Speaker 2: Normally, you're all over the Vikings. You think they're great. They're a big game contender. And, again, you were awful quiet. I'm staying away from the Vikings. I think they're due for a dud. You guys don't believe in the club anymore. That's not true. I just didn't want to take them. No, you don't believe it. You guys are talking about road underdogs. I'm going to take a home underdog.
00:40:30
Speaker 1: I usually don't bet against the Kansas City Chiefs, but they didn't look very good last week in Seattle, and they have the short week because they.
00:40:37
Speaker 2: Played on a Monday night, whereas... No, they were the Sunday night game. I'm sorry. They're not a short week.
00:40:44
Speaker 1: But Denver's defense is absolutely elite, and their offense, while not great, has come around a little bit since Sean Payton started calling plays. They've won three in a row. I think Kansas City, people say the Vikings are paper tigers. I think the Chiefs, for a good chunk of the season, have been a little bit of paper tigers, and they got exposed a little bit last week in Seattle. When Mahomes is getting pressured against good defenses like he was in Seattle, Casey's offense can't hold up, and Denver has one of those defenses that's going to put a lot of pressure, and I'm getting a point, and I'm.
00:41:14
Speaker 2: Getting at home. And we didn't even talk about the thin air up in Denver. Correct. So I'm going to take the Broncos plus one at home. All right. Very good.
00:41:23
Speaker 7: Brett Blakemore just texted me and said, thanks for taking the Bears and not Green Bay.
00:41:28
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:41:29
Speaker 7: I mean, I did take Green Bay on a Thursday night game they had a couple weeks ago, a few weeks ago, and it went very poorly for me.
00:41:36
Speaker 2: Here's your spread swing recap. Deuce was the last place.
00:41:40
Speaker 1: He takes Chicago plus three and Baltimore plus three. Commons got Detroit minus three and a half and Pittsburgh minus three and a half. Rosen with the Rams minus six and a half and Buffalo minus three. And then I'm taking a couple underdogs, Vegas plus one and a half and the Broncos plus one.
00:41:57
Speaker 2: There we go. You got a big one Saturday. Big one Saturday.
00:42:00
Speaker 7: We got Chanhassen traveling down to Mankato West section semifinal. Mankato West is ranked sixth in the state, and that's among all teams, even the big 6A schools.
00:42:10
Speaker 2: And they're a 5A school. They're ranked sixth. They're a powerhouse.
00:42:13
Speaker 7: Mankato West, a great club. They haven't lost a game all year, so it'll be exciting to see what they can do. It'll be my ninth football game, so maybe similar to how Paul Allen wore the jersey with 500 on it. I could wear a number nine jersey. There's plenty of those left over from our most recent. Plenty of them on clearance.
00:42:32
Speaker 2: They're just flying off the... Flying onto the hooks, rather.
00:42:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:42:35
Speaker 2: What did your Huskers have this week?
00:42:37
Speaker 7: They got worshinged.
00:42:38
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:42:39
Speaker 7: I think it's on the road. And I got to say, the wind has been removed from my sails after that Oregon loss. Rayola didn't even play very well when he came into the game, but he did just enough to get Oregon past Nebraska. The game ended at about 1.30 or 2 in the morning because it was a 10 o'clock kick.
00:42:56
Speaker 2: One of those great starts.
00:42:57
Speaker 7: And it was a painful watch. I went to bed halftime. I gave up on my club, and for good reason.
00:43:02
Speaker 2: They lost. They blew it.
00:43:02
Speaker 4: Think about it.
00:43:04
Speaker 2: It's his club and he gave up. I watched it to the bitter end.
00:43:07
Speaker 7: And you didn't even go to Nebraska.
00:43:10
Speaker 1: No.
00:43:10
Speaker 2: No, I never got that far. I paid to go to Nebraska. A lot of money. What does the N stand for on the side of that helmet?
00:43:16
Speaker 7: Knowledge.
00:43:17
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:43:17
Speaker 3: Deuce, we'll see you next week, and I'll be listening to your game. Is that a 7 o'clock?
00:43:20
Speaker 2: Is it a night game?
00:43:21
Speaker 7: It's a 1 o'clock game.
00:43:23
Speaker 5: Oh!
00:43:23
Speaker 7: 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, so I still got time to go out and run it up for Halloween. Rosie, tonight we could go party, man. I'm going to a Halloween thing for Jenna's work.
00:43:32
Speaker 2: Cowboy Jax, you in?
00:43:33
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not in.
00:43:35
Speaker 2: I'm going to sit home and feed up. Yeah, what a bad break for me. Have fun and be safe. Yes, will do.
00:43:42
Speaker 7: Thank you, Pops.

00:00:23
Speaker 2: What's wrong with Winnie? That's one of the more famous... media stories of all time.
00:00:34
Speaker 3: I think I can, I, I think it's the statute of limitations is gone.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: Do you know the what's wrong with winning one? I've heard the story before.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: It's all Brandis used to be with the wolves. Musselman's the coach.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Wolves are winning meaningless games at the end of the year. Just meaningless games. You know, four wins, five wins, six wins. It's like, we're trying to get a better draft pick here. Why are you trying to win these games late in the year? So Barrero's on media row, right? And over the din of the crowd, because we've made some kind of miraculous comeback.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: We've taken the lead.
00:01:07
Speaker 3: The other team's calling a timeout because we've got their backs against the wall.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: The crowd's cheering.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: The Wolves players are all high-fiving as they go to the bench.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: And Brandis looks down the row and looks at Brown and goes, what's wrong with winning? I always love that. Maybe, maybe.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: You don't think that's as funny as I do, but that's one of my all-time favorite media stories of all time.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: He's so bitter about Barrero writing, why are we trying to win these games?
00:01:38
Speaker 3: It's like when AJ got so bitter with me that the first thing he said to Rosen after they clinched the cup, I just want to say, Dan Cole, you doubted us.
00:01:48
Speaker 2: But now we're here. We have hundreds of good media stories. More on those later. Right now, though, it's time for 534. for five questions. Well, actually three, but five sounds like more than four.
00:02:05
Speaker 4: Brought to you by Willow River Company.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: Question number one.
00:02:11
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in-depth look at the welfare of the wolves.
00:02:19
Speaker 3: In-depth in the common man's home doesn't.
00:02:22
Speaker 2: Seem like it really... You know... I can barely do the surface stuff.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves' Sands Ant lost to the Golden State Warriors 119-114 last night at Target Center. Steph Curry finished with 42 points for the Warriors. Jonathan Kaminga had 20 for the Wolves. LaMelo Ball just eight points, but he did have eight assists, four rebounds, but five fouls and six turnovers. Common, what sticks out to you from last night's Wolves loss?
00:02:49
Speaker 2: They didn't realize you have to play defense, too. Ant's gone. Can't pout. Can't drag your... You're sorry. You know what? You got to play.
00:03:02
Speaker 3: It's going to be two months minimum, right? And he's coming back. He's not gone forever. He should be better than ever. You should be tanned, rested, ready. Play some defense.
00:03:18
Speaker 2: I think emotion plays a lot in sports, right?
00:03:21
Speaker 3: To me, that's... You're fired up, you're not fired up, you're confident, you're not confident. All the players that are playing have talent, varying degrees of talent, but you get to the NBA or NFL.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: NBA, MLB, NHL, you've got a lot of talent, right?
00:03:34
Speaker 3: So sometimes I think really the difference is just your conviction to wanting to play well, your drawing a line in the sand and saying, no more, we're not going to give up anymore here.
00:03:51
Speaker 2: And so I would have thought, wait, okay, Ant's out.
00:03:54
Speaker 3: Let's circle the wagons and let's go out there and.
00:03:57
Speaker 2: Let's show Ant, show ourselves, show our fans we're at home.
00:04:01
Speaker 4: We'll be all right.
00:04:02
Speaker 3: Because they all said it. When the news first broke, oh, we'll be fine. I don't worry about it.
00:04:08
Speaker 2: We're deep here. We got a lot of players. We have a lot of confidence in ourselves. We'll be fine. Then they go and lay an egg like that. And I know they rallied back.
00:04:16
Speaker 3: Well, I think Golden State at that point sort of in, you know, it's like prevent defense in football.
00:04:22
Speaker 2: You know, a team's getting Lions lost to Buffalo earlier this year, right?
00:04:26
Speaker 3: And I think it ended up being just like a one-score game. But it wasn't a one-score game. They were down two, three scores the entire game. Buffalo would score, they would score. Buffalo, there was too much distance between the two, and that's what happened last night.
00:04:39
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm disappointed about that. Go win that game. Golden State's not very good.
00:04:44
Speaker 3: I mean, Steph Curry, he's older than LeBron, isn't he, or close to it? He's got to be almost 40. I know he's great. And Draymond, what does he have there? That's just not much of a team. Butler's not playing, right? So that's, to me, the disappointment is go out there and win that game.
00:05:02
Speaker 2: But they didn't.
00:05:03
Speaker 4: It's one game.
00:05:03
Speaker 2: It's fine.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: But that's why yesterday I was a little down in the dumps about losing Ant.
00:05:10
Speaker 2: I think we're going to be in some trouble. It's not the end of the season. I get that. But I don't like what I saw yesterday.
00:05:18
Speaker 4: Question number two.
00:05:21
Speaker 2: Programming predicament. Yeah, two games tonight.
00:05:26
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Wild return home from their five-game West Coast swing as they host the New York Islanders tonight at Grand Casino Arena.
00:05:33
Speaker 2: Buck drops at 7.
00:05:34
Speaker 1: Of course, you can watch it on Wild Plus, but you can listen to it right here on the fan and on the iHeartRadio app. And then Thursday night football, the Green Bay Packers host the Carolina Panthers 7.15 p.m.
00:05:44
Speaker 2: That's on Amazon Prime.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: Common, what are you going to do about tonight's The Programming Predicament.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: I haven't watched The Rockford Files in a while.
00:05:58
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, did you know they were showing The Rockford Files on, like, was it WeTV, back-to-back episodes, seven to eight, eight to nine, for a couple of years. I watched, for a year and a half, every night I watched both episodes. Now they've moved it to, like, they've got some other shows.
00:06:15
Speaker 2: In that spot now. Other old people show, boomer shows.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: And now, like, Rockford Files doesn't come on until like 10 or 11 o'clock at night.
00:06:22
Speaker 2: Well, my teeth are in the glass by then, so I haven't watched the Rockford Files. Do you DVR them?
00:06:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I have them, yeah.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: But I mean, I've seen every episode now 13, 14 times that it's like, I'll take a little bit.
00:06:33
Speaker 2: Don't need a DVR.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: I'll take a little break from them.
00:06:37
Speaker 3: You basically told me that the Isles are a terrible team in a terrible city with terrible fans in a terrible stadium. And I do like football. Monday night or Thursday night, but God knows what night.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: And it is the Bears. You know, I mean, they're our closest pursuer right now.
00:06:48
Speaker 3: They're right on us. Objects in the mirror, closer than they appear. They're 5-2. We're 6-0. And so I will watch Thursday Night Football. I definitely will. That's my choice tonight.
00:07:02
Speaker 4: Question number three.
00:07:10
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in-depth look at the state of the school.
00:07:17
Speaker 1: Something called J. today about eight trade deadline deals he'd love to see. And the first one on there, he'd love to see Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor traded to your Minnesota Vikings. Common, what would you be willing to give up to bring JT to Minnie?
00:07:38
Speaker 3: Well, apparently that won't happen because Nolan Teasley, according to who was it who wrote it?
00:07:43
Speaker 2: He was on the power trip today. I'd podcast that right now. Right now, I would.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: He doesn't think it's realistic or he doesn't think it's going to happen, I guess is what he said, right? And one of those reasons would be the general manager, Nolan Teasley, first year general manager, he hasn't had a chance to go to the draft yet.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: I don't want to give up a lot of capital for that.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: And then if you get a guy like Jonathan Taylor, he's making big money, right? Big money, big prizes, and throws a salary cap out of whack. And because you've got other guys you've got to pay next year. And it's like, well, that's all fine and good, but And if you were a 500 team, yeah, okay, yeah, you're three and three.
00:08:24
Speaker 2: You're all right.
00:08:25
Speaker 3: You might sneak in as a wild card club, last seven seed, get drilled by the second seed.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: What's the point of that? But you're 6-0. You're the only undefeated team in pro football. Your defense is elite.
00:08:38
Speaker 3: And your offense probably just, the passing game's probably not going to get, the only way the passing game gets better is if just Murray gets, and I don't know if it's because he's still not comfortable in the complicated offense or if this is just, Kyler Murray, that's what you're going to get. He's not going to complete a ton of passes. He's not going to, he's not going to, he's not going to strafe the secondary, the opposition. Like you would see, um, um, you know, Jim, uh, Jim Kelly, um, Buffalo quarterback.
00:09:12
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Josh Allen.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: So Jim Kelly was a quarterback. He's never, I don't think he's ever going to be that guy. So you're passing games, you're passing game. You might improve the passing game if you're running games better, right? And I don't think the running game with Jacobs and Mason Jennings or Mason Williams or classical gas is the, I don't like it. And then the people I trust tell me the interior, the offensive line just isn't very good right now. And whether it can get better with the players they have, we don't have time to wait for them to improve.
00:09:41
Speaker 4: We have to win it.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: We got to win.
00:09:42
Speaker 3: Now I say, go try. I'd be willing to give up quite a bit to get them. Cause I do think this is a year when you, if your defense is that good, I don't want to waste it because you're going to have to score.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: Some points eventually, I think. So I don't know.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: I would you be willing to make a trade like that? Or do you think, no, it depends on the price. I would love to have them. You know, I'm not going to give up the first round pick for him. These running backs at that age, the value does tend to go down. Now, Christian McCaffrey, I thought I saw that he was traded for a two, a three, a four and a five. when 49ers acquired him from Carolina. Now I think they've liked that, and he's been pretty good for them. I don't think I'd be willing to go that much. Definitely not giving up a one for him. But, you know, a two and maybe like a mid-round draft pick or something, I would consider that.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I absolutely would. Yeah, you're right. You don't give up a one. I'm on board with that. But I think you have to make.
00:10:43
Speaker 3: Some kind of an effort to improve the club offensively, especially with the run game.
00:10:47
Speaker 2: Because, you know, the.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Coaches admitted, you know, we're a ball control team now. We're a running team. Right now, that's where we're at.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: We're a running team without great running backs. Yes, that's the issue.
00:11:00
Speaker 1: Correct.
00:11:01
Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of Five Questions.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: Well, actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.
00:11:10
Speaker 3: Brought to you by my amazing friends at Willow River Company.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Willow River Company, your outdoor living experts. They were at my place yesterday.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: They blew out the old irrigation line, so no more water in the grass, man. And I guess I don't step on the grass, man. And I guess I don't have to worry about that. But now up next is my fall cleanups. Getting those garden beds cleaned up and breaking up the yard. And they do all those things for you.

Speaker 2: Sort of a sneak behind the curtain.
00:12:58
Speaker 3: So, before the last segment, it sounds just like Steely Dan.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: It's got that feel to it.
00:13:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:13:08
Speaker 4: Yacht Rock.
00:13:09
Speaker 2: Well, it's called Yacht on the Rocks. Yacht on the Rocks.
00:13:13
Speaker 3: You know, they called Don Fagan one time. Somebody was doing a documentary on Yacht Rock. So he picked up the phone and he said, yeah, we're doing a documentary on Yacht Rock.
00:13:23
Speaker 2: And Don Fagan just hung up the phone. I don't think he likes the term Yacht Rock.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: So prior to the last segment, we closed out the noon hour with the segment. And I go back to the kitchen area to warm up my luncheon. program director chad ever goes he looked at me just disappointed just bitter just you didn't even know the wild were playing tonight did you and i go no that's why i went to ten of b as i said as a matter of fact then i was telling deuces i said I had nothing in that segment, and I think that's apparent to everybody. So I lean on you like handing the ball off, right? Just let you run three yards here, four yards here.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: Just trying to move the change. Well, typically I fumble. Well, you do.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: And as I start searching for something on the playbook, and then I stumbled across the Caleb Williams cleats thing, which I thought was a cool story.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: And that's like play action.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: They think you're going to keep talking hockey, and then boom, out of nowhere, I bring up cleats, and all of a sudden we're airing it out again, and we get to the top of the hour, and we're done.
00:14:19
Speaker 2: What's wrong with winging it? What's wrong with winning? What's wrong with winning? What's wrong with winging? I don't think there's anything. That could be the call. That's not it. It's another one of those potential spams.
00:14:33
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of political spam text messages in the last week.
00:14:39
Speaker 2: Why do you care if I'm going to vote? Everyone that comes over, I just get stop, stop, stop. Allegedly, they're supposed to stop. I don't know if they do. I keep doing stop and reporting spam, but I keep getting them. Speaking of.
00:15:00
Speaker 3: The cleats thing with William, somebody said, how hard is it to cover up a logo?
00:15:05
Speaker 2: Seems like the damage is self-inflicted.
00:15:06
Speaker 3: Unless he's looking to get a spokesperson deal with Caddx. I don't think he cares. Yeah, the money's not important to him. He doesn't... He can find $ 12, 000 in the cushion of his couch. Yeah, and now Flacco is going to pay for them. And I think it's like, well, I don't want to cover it up. It's just the principle of things, right? Some people, they take a stand. Yeah, I mean, I can understand the text message.
00:15:31
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just cover it with a logo? Who cares?
00:15:34
Speaker 3: Really, the only thing that matters is you're protecting your health. If you believe that it actually makes it safer for you to play football, more power to you, knock yourself up. But why do you want to give up the money? You don't even need to do that. But I guess he doesn't care.
00:15:45
Speaker 2: You know? And, you know, here's the other thing I don't know.
00:15:50
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that, you know, the NFL, the only logos are Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour.
00:15:58
Speaker 2: Those are the only ones that are allowed, right?
00:16:03
Speaker 3: Do the players, I mean, do the players get a cut of, we talked about this with baseball yesterday. about the, I should die. Maybe we'll, um, and we got spreads from incumbents. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow. I want to take a look at that, that, that, that whole, we're talking about the CBA with the baseball and there's gonna be a lockout and such like that, but it's so much more complicated than just, well, we need a salary cap and a salary floor. And let's go ahead and just decide on, on a number of formal.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: We'll go from there.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: There's, there's, there's so much money involved and it's from so many different, um, sources that, That it's hard to keep even track of.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: And so there's so much money involved that.
00:16:45
Speaker 3: Just saying, well, the players are going to get $ 254 million a year spread amongst everybody in the team.
00:16:50
Speaker 2: And that's it.
00:16:50
Speaker 3: There's more money to go around than that. But that for another time.
00:16:55
Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of the Caleb Williams things, I'm pretty sure the NFL hires spotters before games.
00:17:02
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: Because I think.
00:17:04
Speaker 1: Former Viking sideline reporter, Greg Coleman, like that was his job. He would be walking around and checking everyone's cleats and socks to whether it's logos, whether they have certain colors.
00:17:15
Speaker 6: Yes.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: I believe like that was his, I'm assuming he was getting paid by the national football thing to be looking around to see if anyone was not up, not doing the proper uniform code.
00:17:26
Speaker 2: And the reason I bring it up that gig.
00:17:28
Speaker 3: Well, the reason I bring it up is, is if, um, i know i guess it can't be the wild wild west but you know if a player wants to wear something and because he feels it's better for him that somebody wants to pay him that but he.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Has to show the logo but i guess there's deals with the league and that's why i say do the players benefit from those.
00:17:43
Speaker 3: Deals financially as well they must i would think but that's for another time you know you you um you were talking about a a trade deadline acquisitions you know.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Um In the National Football League, USA Today.
00:17:58
Speaker 3: USA Today, on his wish list, what he thought should happen was Jonathan Taylor to the Vikings. This is a list story from CBS Sports, ranking the big-name players possibly on the move and putting them into tiers.
00:18:16
Speaker 2: They like to do that at CBS. So they have impact starters.
00:18:20
Speaker 3: They have Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Max Crosby. Khalil Mack, Buda Baker, Darren Payne. He brings the pain. He brings the pain. Tuli, Tui, Tulu, Tulu, Dudu, the linebacker for the Chargers.
00:18:38
Speaker 3: Josh Sweat, Amani Hooker, and Josh Downs. Those are the players that CBS Sports say these are impact players. And that's the ones you have to give up a lot for.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: Right i mean they're.
00:18:50
Speaker 3: Not just they're just not coming here for um you know a fifth round draft.
00:18:55
Speaker 1: Pick well i mean josh towns i don't think you have to give up a lot for you don't know and he's he demanded a trade which i find humorous i just don't think he's good enough to be in the demanding trade category.
00:19:05
Speaker 3: He's caught 26 passes for 307 yards.
00:19:09
Speaker 2: He's okay he's an okay receiver he's an okay receiver um.
00:19:16
Speaker 3: And, you know, on the other tiers, there don't seem to be.
00:19:21
Speaker 2: Sneaky rentals? There's a Viking player listed on that.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings, a sneaky rental.
00:19:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why is he not a bit of bigger... Yeah, a couple moments last game, finally.
00:19:37
Speaker 3: He's more of a quarterback player probably than anything, right? They kind of go hand-in-hand, I think. I mean, just.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: Other than TJ Hawkins in his head moments, what's your wide receivers has had like a good season, right? I mean, Jefferson's getting the bulk, but he's still, that's his numbers are still down compared to what we're used to from him.
00:20:01
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison's barely a factor, right? And Jawan Jennings has been a non-factor. Here are, um, here are, um, a.
00:20:17
Speaker 3: Couple of text messages regarding when we were talking about, um, possibility of, you know, the, the, uh, USA Today today talking about trade you'd like to see would be Jonathan Taylor.
00:20:29
Speaker 2: To, to Minnesota.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: Text message says, um, Sorry, Common, I just started listening a couple minutes ago, so I don't know if this has been brought up, but why are people constantly talking about getting running backs? We need a competent quarterback like Kirk Cousins, and this team would be virtually unstoppable. I think it's more complicated than that. It's... You and I just talked about it earlier. It's just hard. I don't think Cousins right now is available. I guess if you called the Radiators and said, hey, we'd love to entertain the possibility of trading for Kirk Cousins, they'd probably listen.
00:21:13
Speaker 2: But they'd probably ask for... They'd ask for.
00:21:22
Speaker 3: I mean, don't you think they would ask for some fairly high draft picks for a guy like Cousins if you're asking for Corbin?
00:21:27
Speaker 1: I don't know what would be the asking price for Cousins. And then what kind of money? It's weird because he's, I guess here he might not be a rental. I mean, he could be your starting quarterback next season. But given his age, you're not giving up a first-round pick for him. You're not giving up a second-round pick for him. Maybe a third at best. And then at that point, given Vegas is still in the mix right now, are they just going to give up their starting quarterback? while they still have a shot at the playoffs? For a mid-run pick, I don't see that either.
00:21:59
Speaker 2: Well, and the other thing is, you said Pellicero was on with the pop-up.
00:22:02
Speaker 3: Yoga pants, breasts, sauce-soiling himself. And he said he didn't think it was likely. Teasley, first year on the job, he doesn't really want to trade draft picks, wants to go to the draft. Well, then there would be no difference in trading for Cousins or trading for Taylor. They both have big contracts, right? You've got to pay them, so it's like If Pellicer believes the Vikings really wouldn't be in the market for getting a big-name running back like Jonathan Taylor, I don't think they'd be in the market to get a.
00:22:33
Speaker 1: Big-name running back. I mean, Cousins' contract, he might only be under contract for this year.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: I'd have to look it up.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got a one-year deal or a two-year deal, but he might not even be on the books for next year.
00:22:43
Speaker 3: And then also, isn't another factor where, like with Kyler Murray, for instance— He's getting paid like $ 20 or $ 30 million this year, but the Vikings are only having to pay like $ 1. 5 million.
00:22:55
Speaker 2: Yes. So maybe that would be part of the deal, too. I don't know.
00:22:59
Speaker 3: Spread Swing's coming up next. Deuce is here, Rosen as well. Spread Swing on the Common Man program right after this.
00:23:03
Speaker 2: Here on The Fan. This is the son of Common Man, Deuce, here.

00:23:13
Speaker 7: You're listening to the Common Man program here on The Fan.

We have the final episode of MASH.
00:24:17
Speaker 2: Final episode of Cheers. You had The Sopranos. You had Breaking Bad.
00:24:23
Speaker 3: And you also have Spread Swing.
00:24:27
Speaker 4: Spread Swing.
00:24:30
Speaker 2: Legendary program. I think that this bread swing is starting to catch on. I think they really enjoy it. Can they watch it live? Is this one of those they can watch?
00:24:39
Speaker 1: No, I would recommend streaming it. Especially if Deuce is going to take the time to come in studio every Friday.
00:24:45
Speaker 2: I'm putting so much effort into this. You don't have to look at the camera. The cameras aren't working. Your score would disagree with Deuce. How bad was it? You want to go over the scores?
00:24:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:25:00
Speaker 2: Well, heck yeah. Let's do it. Let's just dive right into it.
00:25:02
Speaker 1: Going into last week, I was in the lead with minus two and a half points. Common was in second with minus 37 and a half. Rosen was in third with minus 40. And Deuce was in last place with minus 56.
00:25:19
Speaker 3: It doesn't even seem possible you can be minus 56 in this game.
00:25:24
Speaker 7: I defy expectations week in and week out.
00:25:26
Speaker 2: Five, six weeks into it, too. That's it. Well, let's just begin with Deuce. All right. I don't know.
00:25:33
Speaker 1: On Thursday Night Football, on the new Twitter account he made up for the common man NFL spread swing, he got pretty haughty when his Chicago Bears, who had minus three against the New England Patriots, won by six, so he gained three points.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: He's feeling pretty good about himself. I was feeling myself. But then.
00:25:50
Speaker 1: He decided to take the San Francisco 49ers going across the country. Minus three at Atlanta, and they lost by nines. You lost 12 points there, and you lost money to Rosen on that one.
00:26:00
Speaker 7: That reminds me. I got the cash in my backpack. We won't do Venmo. We'll do straight cash.
00:26:06
Speaker 2: I love it. Thank you so much. It's very kind of you. What was the item you were in the wager? It was seven bucks.
00:26:10
Speaker 4: Wow.
00:26:10
Speaker 7: The rich get richer, Rosie.
00:26:12
Speaker 1: I will blindly bet deuce on any spread swing pick he wants to go with.
00:26:15
Speaker 3: Just.
00:26:16
Speaker 2: You tell me what pick you want to do, and I'll bet money.
00:26:18
Speaker 7: Oh, I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to get back on track.
00:26:21
Speaker 2: You've never been on track, so how can you get back?
00:26:23
Speaker 7: How can you get somewhere you've never been?
00:26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't get back to somewhere. So, Deuce, you lost nine points last week.
00:26:28
Speaker 1: You're now at minus 65.
00:26:32
Speaker 2: But we have a new person in third place. Whoa. That would be the common man, Dan Cole.
00:26:39
Speaker 5: What? What?
00:26:42
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute now.
00:26:44
Speaker 1: Common, you had Detroit minus three and a half against Green Bay last week.
00:26:47
Speaker 2: They didn't win, but only by three, so you lost a half point. Imbecile.
00:26:51
Speaker 1: You also had the Jets minus four and a half against the Dolphins at home, and they lost by three.
00:26:56
Speaker 2: What a Morris. You lost seven and a half points there.
00:26:59
Speaker 1: You lost eight on the week, and you are now in third place at minus 45 and a half. I Rosen actually gained some ground, even though he did lose a double down and it didn't go well there. You had Minnesota minus six and a half against the Colts, but they won, but only by six. So you lost a half point, but then you double down. So you lost a one point. Oh, but you wasted a double down.
00:27:21
Speaker 4: I did.
00:27:22
Speaker 1: You're right.
00:27:22
Speaker 2: But I got one less in the bank. Right.
00:27:25
Speaker 1: And so you lost a point there, but you did gain 12 points because you had the other side of deuce on that Atlanta, San Francisco game.
00:27:30
Speaker 2: You gained 12 points there. So you gained 11 on the week.
00:27:34
Speaker 1: You're up to minus 29. You're now in second place. And you're a leader, and it's not even really close anymore after last week. I had number 18, J.J. McCarthy and the New York Giants at plus 10.5 against the Houston Texans, and they pulled it off in overtime. They won by six, so I gained 16.5 points there. Then I had Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay plus three against Carolina.
00:27:58
Speaker 2: They won by 30. Oh my, you're running away with it.
00:28:00
Speaker 1: So I gained 33 points. I almost gained 50 points last week. I am now at 47 and in the lead. So I'm at 47 points in first. Rosen, you're at minus 29 in second. Commons at third with minus 45 and a half. And Deuce is in the last place. With minus 65. So today the order is Deuce Common Rosen Tenna.
00:28:24
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:28:26
Speaker 2: Your score is the same as the temperature in Antarctica.
00:28:31
Speaker 7: It's been a miserable effort for me, but this is the week where I turn things around. I picked up some points with this squad last week and I'm going to roll with them again, even as they travel to the West coast to take on the Seattle Seahawks. I'm back in the bears plus three. I know it's on the road. I don't care about Caleb Williams, $ 12, 000 fine. I don't care about the 12th man. I think the bears are going to roll into. Well, they made a major trade too. They got Jeffrey Simmons. He's the missing piece to the puzzle. I think I, I really like the Bears in this matchup. They've been playing well. Seattle did look dominant against the Chiefs, but maybe Kansas City just isn't quite what we thought they were.
00:29:08
Speaker 3: When you're watching the Bears get destroyed, just hum this song to yourself.
00:29:12
Speaker 2: Old Sam Darnold has an army. With a tutty here and a tutty there. Here a tutty, there a tutty, everywhere a tutty, tutty. I like the Bears. Give me a Chicago plus three. Chicago's a tough guy town. Seattle is a tough guy town.
00:29:29
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:29:32
Speaker 2: You know the weather in Seattle, though, by the way, for Monday night?
00:29:34
Speaker 4: No.
00:29:35
Speaker 2: The cloudy? Might have an impact.
00:29:37
Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
00:29:40
Speaker 4: It is me, right?
00:29:40
Speaker 2: It is you, yeah. You're in second. You're in second now. I, um.
00:29:46
Speaker 2: This game is actually... I mean, every game is big, regardless. But this is a bigger game for Detroit than this one is.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: Minnesota 6-0, Detroit 4-2. Detroit finally won back-to-back games for the first time in forever. I mean, they didn't win back-to-back games at all last year.
00:30:02
Speaker 5: Right.
00:30:03
Speaker 3: And until they beat the Cards and then they won last week against the Packers, they had not won back-to-back.
00:30:09
Speaker 2: Offenses, they're still good.
00:30:10
Speaker 3: They're not the offense they were under Ben Johnson, but they're more predictable now. They don't have as much pizzazz or panache. Their defense has gotten better the past couple weeks, but this is a game where against Minnesota at 6-0 at defenses, and you know, it's been a nice battle when it was Ben Johnson.
00:30:27
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson and Brian.
00:30:28
Speaker 3: Flores, that was fun to watch the two of those go against.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Like Frazier Ali.
00:30:34
Speaker 3: Let's not put them on that level yet.
00:30:37
Speaker 2: Maybe more like.
00:30:41
Speaker 2: Oscar Bonavina against George Shavalo. I'll take that. Let's go Bonavina-Shavalo. That's a great matchup.
00:30:49
Speaker 7: Branch and Joseph coming back.
00:30:51
Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
00:30:52
Speaker 2: Branch was back last week, and he had a pick. He adds a lot to the club. And Kirby Joseph, I don't know.
00:30:58
Speaker 3: He's had his what-are-you-doing-Cam-Dansler moments, but he's pretty good.
00:31:03
Speaker 2: But I think they need this. You lose this at home. You go to 4-3.
00:31:07
Speaker 3: Vikings go to 7-0. And then all of a sudden, you're basically swimming upstream. That doesn't necessarily mean the Lions will win, but there will be a sense of urgency there.
00:31:18
Speaker 2: I still, for the bit, I'm taking the kiddies.
00:31:22
Speaker 3: But I won't be surprised at the Vikings because I think their defense is special.
00:31:25
Speaker 2: And I think the Lions.
00:31:27
Speaker 3: The thing is, the only thing going for Detroit on the blitz scene is that Goff.
00:31:35
Speaker 2: He releases the ball quickly.
00:31:36
Speaker 7: He handles the blitz fairly.
00:31:37
Speaker 2: He handles the blitz pretty well.
00:31:39
Speaker 3: That doesn't guarantee anything, but if he can stand back there, and he hasn't thrown an interception yet this year.
00:31:46
Speaker 2: He's 14 touchdowns. I think it'll be, I, the expectations, it'll be a good game. And I think it'll be a close.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: Game, but I, I think the Vikings are going to edge them, but I'm taking the kitties for the bit.
00:31:57
Speaker 2: Plus do I, Oh, I got to give points.
00:31:59
Speaker 1: I was going to say, do you think, um, this point spread shows that nationally the Vikings are still being disrespected a little bit, right? Because you always get three points for home team. But then you're adding a half point for a team in Detroit that's good, but the other.
00:32:15
Speaker 2: Team is 6-0. Hasn't lost a game.
00:32:17
Speaker 1: I am still wondering if nationally a 6-0 team coming into a A place like Detroit, a point or two?
00:32:25
Speaker 3: I think it's because the offense has been so ineffective, especially when you have Justin Jefferson. Statistically, he's ranked as the 50th best receiver in pro football. So I think nationally they're down in the Vikings, particularly in the offense.
00:32:39
Speaker 8: But last week the Vikings were only six-point favorites, six-and-a-half against the.
00:32:42
Speaker 2: Colts at home.
00:32:43
Speaker 8: So against a team that was really going nowhere with a really ineffective offense with the passing game. I think it's just an indication more of the way NFL games normally go with the occasional blowout or two.
00:32:55
Speaker 7: And still I wonder when the last time a 6-0 team was underdogs in a game against a team that has a couple losses like today.
00:33:03
Speaker 2: I mean, that happens. Yeah, I don't know. It's more the points. It's the three and a half, right?
00:33:07
Speaker 1: Because like I said, they always give the standard three points for the home team. But then you're also saying... If this was 50-50 and they were on a neutral field, then Detroit would still be favored. That's what it is indicating to me.
00:33:18
Speaker 3: Some people would say, describe it as the Vikings are being disrespected and maybe they can rally around that.
00:33:25
Speaker 7: What do you think of the Lions now?
00:33:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm taking the Kitties.
00:33:29
Speaker 3: All right.
00:33:29
Speaker 2: Shocking.
00:33:31
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:33:38
Speaker 8: Speaking of head scratchers, I really hadn't looked at this team until I literally walked into it and saw your sheet in front of me here and looked at the point spread.
00:33:45
Speaker 2: And I went, wait a minute.
00:33:47
Speaker 8: The Rams are only six and a half point favorites against the Chargers. The Rams are three and four. Desperate team in that NFC West where you just have got to keep winning with San Francisco and Seattle ahead of you and kind of getting out of their doldrums and getting healthier. The Chargers are... I don't know if they have one fan left in Los Angeles. I think the remaining fans are still in San Diego.
00:34:09
Speaker 2: They're awful.
00:34:11
Speaker 8: They haven't won a game yet. They're 0-6, and I just don't see them. The trading deadline next week, all this stuff happening. They're playing at the same stadium, so it doesn't really matter. The Rams will have a big advantage with the fans, not that that matters. The Rams are going to go on a roll. I think they'll roll the Chargers in this game. I'm really surprised.
00:34:27
Speaker 2: Again, we were just talking about point spreads.
00:34:29
Speaker 8: There are only six and a half point favorites, so I'll take the Rams and just take my chances. I think that's a good chance for a blowout.
00:34:36
Speaker 2: How about a double down?
00:34:37
Speaker 3: No.
00:34:38
Speaker 2: Well, if it's a blowout. Well, I'm going to say I got to keep that one. You wasted it last week. You only got one available.
00:34:42
Speaker 8: At least I didn't really lose it, but not a good choice.
00:34:47
Speaker 3: No.
00:34:47
Speaker 2: That was with my head. I was embarrassed for it. I appreciate it.
00:34:52
Speaker 4: Spread swing. Here's the leader.
00:34:59
Speaker 2: What are you going to do? I know the game everyone's excited about this week.
00:35:02
Speaker 1: That would be the New York Jets hosting the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:35:06
Speaker 2: Is this going to be his version of taking the air out of the ball?
00:35:08
Speaker 4: Got a big lead.
00:35:09
Speaker 2: Let's just go ahead and prevent defense. I don't think anyone's even televising that. I'm hitting the gas.
00:35:15
Speaker 5: Are you?
00:35:16
Speaker 2: I'm going to gain 13, 14 points on this one.
00:35:19
Speaker 1: The Jets are favored at home by a point and a half over the Las Vegas Raiders, but I think the Las Vegas.
00:35:24
Speaker 2: Raiders are just the better team.
00:35:26
Speaker 1: I know they've lost four in a row, but if you look at their four losses, they're all the really very good teams.
00:35:32
Speaker 2: Kansas City, New England, Buffalo, Carolina.
00:35:34
Speaker 1: I think Vegas is a decent team, whereas I know the Jets are not, and they just lost to Miami at home last week.
00:35:41
Speaker 2: So I am going to back Kirk Cousins. and the Las Vegas Raiders. You like that? You like that?
00:35:47
Speaker 1: And I'm going to take that point and a half, and I'll take Vegas plus one and a half.
00:35:52
Speaker 2: Might be his last start for Vegas. Mendoza might be. No, he's going to win the game, and then they're going to be in the hunt in the playoffs. I see. Ten has got it figured out. He's our fearless leader.
00:36:03
Speaker 3: He is.
00:36:03
Speaker 7: Let's take the back seat and follow the lead.
00:36:05
Speaker 4: All right. Spread swing.
00:36:14
Speaker 7: Any of these other games that are left on the board. To be fair, I never really like any games because regardless of what I do, I'm going to lose a handful of points. But I'm going to go with another road underdog.
00:36:25
Speaker 2: Maybe you could get.
00:36:26
Speaker 3: The Diamond Joe endorsement. Somebody should try to sell the Diamond Joe endorsement to Deuce. Deuce here for Diamond Joe.
00:36:33
Speaker 2: 1-800-LOSE-NOW.
00:36:34
Speaker 7: That's the gambling hotline. I remember a listener texted that in a little while ago.
00:36:38
Speaker 4: It was brilliant.
00:36:38
Speaker 2: I like it. Love it.
00:36:40
Speaker 7: I think the Ravens are going to pick up a surprise victory.
00:36:44
Speaker 2: Over the Buffalo Bulls. You're not really doing that, are you? You're intentionally trying to lose as much as you can.
00:36:49
Speaker 7: It's the return of Lamar Jack. I think he's going to come back. Is he playing?
00:36:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing. Sounds like it. He's on track to play. He's practicing this week.
00:36:58
Speaker 7: Yeah, his first game since, what, like week two or three, maybe?
00:37:02
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
00:37:02
Speaker 7: I got a good feeling about the Ravens. Just let Lamar cook.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: He'll do his thing.
00:37:07
Speaker 7: Or three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, bring it to Derrick Henry or any of.
00:37:11
Speaker 2: Those other fellows.
00:37:11
Speaker 7: Give me Baltimore plus three.
00:37:12
Speaker 2: I like the Ravens.
00:37:15
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: Here we go, A-Rodge. Here we go. Oh, boy. I'm starting to believe in A-Rodge. This is one of those... Well, for first place... Well, this could be.
00:37:33
Speaker 3: Seriously, I mean, if you're looking for... If you're looking for, you know, storybook seasons and stuff, how about A-Rodge in his final year?
00:37:42
Speaker 2: Because he has said this is it.
00:37:43
Speaker 4: And they're... What is their... Are they four and.
00:37:45
Speaker 2: Five and two. Five and two. So is Cleveland. I didn't expect.
00:37:50
Speaker 4: Especially.
00:37:51
Speaker 2: It's an AFC North Division collision is what it is. Yeah, it is. Tomlin out. McCarthy's their coach now, right? Yes. Yeah.
00:37:58
Speaker 3: And, you know, I've always thought McCarthy was the beneficiary of a really good Aaron Rodgers back in 2010 when he won the big game. Because... Since he's not been with Rodgers, McCarthy's coach, he doesn't have a winning record as a coach.
00:38:13
Speaker 2: He had the gig in.
00:38:14
Speaker 7: Dallas, and he got canned.
00:38:15
Speaker 2: It was awful. He had some good seasons in Dallas, regular seasons in Dallas.
00:38:20
Speaker 3: But they got the band back together, and A-Rod would be a great story at home.
00:38:26
Speaker 2: And these teams do not like each other. No, they sure don't.
00:38:30
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and give the three and a half points, and I'm going to be pulling for A.
00:38:33
Speaker 2: Rogers.
00:38:34
Speaker 7: Coming back from France. Circadian rhythm.
00:38:36
Speaker 4: Body clock.
00:38:37
Speaker 2: Doesn't bother me at all.
00:38:40
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:38:44
Speaker 7: Am I up?
00:38:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't snipe me. Well, Deuce, we're going to go head-to-head again. I like it. Sniped.
00:38:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, I.
00:38:56
Speaker 2: The Bills are coming off a bye. They're well-rested.
00:38:59
Speaker 8: The Vikings, of course, play them here a week from Monday. Do you think they're overlooking the Ravens then, looking ahead to Minnesota? They might be looking ahead to the Vikings, a preview of the Super Bowl. So, no, they're not overlooking them. But I do like any time I can get Buffalo minus three at home with that crowd, with that craziness.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: Bills Mafia. Bills Mafia, Josh Allen this, Josh Allen that. Only three.
00:39:24
Speaker 8: I mean, that seems like. I don't care that Lamar's coming back. Buffalo's got a better team.
00:39:29
Speaker 7: Also, anytime you can go head-to-head with myself and Spence, you typically take those odds. Did you get sniped.
00:39:35
Speaker 2: There, Tenneby?
00:39:36
Speaker 1: I actually had Buffalo as my third choice. If he would have sniped my second choice, I was going to go head-to-head against Deuce. They're coming off a bye. They're getting DJ Moore back on offense. They're getting Ed Moore back on defense. A couple of key players coming back. They're going to be rested, healthy. And Baltimore, like, Lamar Jackson's coming back, but it doesn't mean he's 100% healthy. He might just be there at a point in their season where they've got to go force it here.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, got to take the bills here.
00:40:05
Speaker 4: Spread swing.
00:40:09
Speaker 2: Take the bike. Seems like the two of you just.
00:40:12
Speaker 4: Shied away from that.
00:40:14
Speaker 2: Normally, you're all over the Vikings. You think they're great. They're a big game contender. And, again, you were awful quiet. I'm staying away from the Vikings. I think they're due for a dud. You guys don't believe in the club anymore. That's not true. I just didn't want to take them. No, you don't believe it. You guys are talking about road underdogs. I'm going to take a home underdog.
00:40:30
Speaker 1: I usually don't bet against the Kansas City Chiefs, but they didn't look very good last week in Seattle, and they have the short week because they.
00:40:37
Speaker 2: Played on a Monday night, whereas... No, they were the Sunday night game. I'm sorry. They're not a short week.
00:40:44
Speaker 1: But Denver's defense is absolutely elite, and their offense, while not great, has come around a little bit since Sean Payton started calling plays. They've won three in a row. I think Kansas City, people say the Vikings are paper tigers. I think the Chiefs, for a good chunk of the season, have been a little bit of paper tigers, and they got exposed a little bit last week in Seattle. When Mahomes is getting pressured against good defenses like he was in Seattle, Casey's offense can't hold up, and Denver has one of those defenses that's going to put a lot of pressure, and I'm getting a point, and I'm.
00:41:14
Speaker 2: Getting at home. And we didn't even talk about the thin air up in Denver. Correct. So I'm going to take the Broncos plus one at home. All right. Very good.
00:41:23
Speaker 7: Brett Blakemore just texted me and said, thanks for taking the Bears and not Green Bay.
00:41:28
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:41:29
Speaker 7: I mean, I did take Green Bay on a Thursday night game they had a couple weeks ago, a few weeks ago, and it went very poorly for me.
00:41:36
Speaker 2: Here's your spread swing recap. Deuce was the last place.
00:41:40
Speaker 1: He takes Chicago plus three and Baltimore plus three. Commons got Detroit minus three and a half and Pittsburgh minus three and a half. Rosen with the Rams minus six and a half and Buffalo minus three. And then I'm taking a couple underdogs, Vegas plus one and a half and the Broncos plus one.
00:41:57
Speaker 2: There we go. You got a big one Saturday. Big one Saturday.
00:42:00
Speaker 7: We got Chanhassen traveling down to Mankato West section semifinal. Mankato West is ranked sixth in the state, and that's among all teams, even the big 6A schools.
00:42:10
Speaker 2: And they're a 5A school. They're ranked sixth. They're a powerhouse.
00:42:13
Speaker 7: Mankato West, a great club. They haven't lost a game all year, so it'll be exciting to see what they can do. It'll be my ninth football game, so maybe similar to how Paul Allen wore the jersey with 500 on it. I could wear a number nine jersey. There's plenty of those left over from our most recent. Plenty of them on clearance.
00:42:32
Speaker 2: They're just flying off the... Flying onto the hooks, rather.
00:42:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:42:35
Speaker 2: What did your Huskers have this week?
00:42:37
Speaker 7: They got worshinged.
00:42:38
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:42:39
Speaker 7: I think it's on the road. And I got to say, the wind has been removed from my sails after that Oregon loss. Rayola didn't even play very well when he came into the game, but he did just enough to get Oregon past Nebraska. The game ended at about 1.30 or 2 in the morning because it was a 10 o'clock kick.
00:42:56
Speaker 2: One of those great starts.
00:42:57
Speaker 7: And it was a painful watch. I went to bed halftime. I gave up on my club, and for good reason.
00:43:02
Speaker 2: They lost. They blew it.
00:43:02
Speaker 4: Think about it.
00:43:04
Speaker 2: It's his club and he gave up. I watched it to the bitter end.
00:43:07
Speaker 7: And you didn't even go to Nebraska.
00:43:10
Speaker 1: No.
00:43:10
Speaker 2: No, I never got that far. I paid to go to Nebraska. A lot of money. What does the N stand for on the side of that helmet?
00:43:16
Speaker 7: Knowledge.
00:43:17
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:43:17
Speaker 3: Deuce, we'll see you next week, and I'll be listening to your game. Is that a 7 o'clock?
00:43:20
Speaker 2: Is it a night game?
00:43:21
Speaker 7: It's a 1 o'clock game.
00:43:23
Speaker 5: Oh!
00:43:23
Speaker 7: 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, so I still got time to go out and run it up for Halloween. Rosie, tonight we could go party, man. I'm going to a Halloween thing for Jenna's work.
00:43:32
Speaker 2: Cowboy Jax, you in?
00:43:33
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not in.
00:43:35
Speaker 2: I'm going to sit home and feed up. Yeah, what a bad break for me. Have fun and be safe. Yes, will do.
