Jeremiah Searles and see well what happened was I'm going to have to issue an apology to you, Jeremiah Searles, to start the show.

It's a written apology, and it's not easy for me to say this but you were right

about the Minnesota Vikings you were right to doubt them you were right to doubt

their chances and I was wrong to believe that they were better than the New York Giants.

My 50-50 opinion on the game, 50% was to losing,

but you were much more confident that the Vikings would go down.

You were much more nervous, you felt it in your little footbally heart, and you were right,

and I am sorry, you gotta give it to you that you just saw it coming for weeks and it's exactly what happened.

So there is my issued statement to you and now we could talk about everything else. But if you'd like to

like to gloat for a minute to everyone.

I don't want to glow.

I even said last week I wanted them to prove me wrong, right?

And I even had people that are like, oh, you posted your

Instagram of like, good luck Vikings. I was like, I wanted them to win. Like my brain and

my heart are two different things. I can love the Vikings and want them to win.

And then put my little football hat on and be like they're not good on defense. They're just not good on defense and they have issues if they pressure the quarterback like and this is the playoffs. Like everything matters in the playoffs so much more than

the regular season. Just the tiniest little deficit in one piece of your game can be the difference

between winning and losing and I just didn't see the Vikings having all of the key pieces they needed to beat a Giants team that I know had issues, but they had a rest week last week.

They were fired up, Dables had playoff experience before he had his team ready to go and I just felt like more chips were on the giant side and at the end of the day it came down to one or two plays but that defense man that Vikings defense has problems.

Yeah, I thought that they would make a mistake.
