You watch the big crowds come in for Pittsburgh, for Green Bay and everything. And I mean, I would have to assume this will likely be indoors. This is still a bad time of year for... You can never tell what April is going to be. Right. We're just going to get an April snowstorm and just kind of deal with it. Yeah. My understanding is that it's outdoors. That's wild. So, okay. So this is like... Okay. I...
an unfathomable amount of money is spent on stadiums and like all these things and the money just disappears. And it's this absolute like, Oh yeah. So this was the most expensive one on record for no good reason. Like that's, it's nothing like that. Also for the record, I have actually tried to get a reef to go to a draft once.
I don't recall this. There was a year that it was in Vegas. I was like, hey, we could do this. We could go to the draft. Was that the COVID year and then we couldn't do it? No, no. You basically said to me what you just said on the podcast. Like, no, there is absolutely no way I would ever want to go to the draft. This is incredibly stupid. I'd be better served in my hotel room for what I would need to be doing that day.
Okay, well, I'm glad I'm consistent with the stuff I don't remember saying. That's good. If you're going to be consistent in anything, it should be the consistency and the things you don't remember saying. So it does work with your character there. Let's go around the league because there was an important decision, I believe, handed out either today or yesterday about the Brian Flores lawsuit and the Supreme Court decision.
Josh Jacobs, Packers running back. Some real nasty allegations came out. There was news coming over the weekend that something had happened, something was about to happen, and then he turned himself in with a number of potential charges hanging over his head, and then he was released. Yeah. Yeah.
And with that, let's go to the mailbag. Oh, great. First question is actually football related. So you're fine. Rock asks, do 18 and three. So presumably Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison do well with improvising routes when a quarterback is extending a play. Is that a skill even?
Nick Howard asks, for the moving to a cold climate from the Arizona desert corner, do you guys have any advice for someone that has never driven in snow? I mean, my instinct is to say don't, but, like, you might not have a choice and you're going to have to drive in the snow. Just, like, understand that, like...
Yeah. Let's go to Ben, who asks, with Rogers signed to lead the Steelers to an 8-9 record, are we safe from any chance of having to see him in a Vikings uniform? No. What are you talking? Of course not.
Kyler's on a one-year contract. He has publicly said, Aaron Rodgers has publicly said, this will be the last year. This is it. Yeah, no former Packers quarterback has reneged on a retirement promise. Never once. That is their least favorite thing to do. But no, this is, you have just, have you just stopped watching the Halloween movies with like 15 minutes left?
Is that just what you do, Ben? Like, no. Michael Myers isn't dead yet. He's only mostly dead. He's only mostly dead. Also, which rookie could surprise and contribute this year? Could surprise and contribute? Chuck Demings. Chuck D. He said to call him Chuck D. I love that. Yeah, that would be my first candidate for, like...
Well, Big Ale asks, every couple months there are articles written about how the Vikings should acquire Burrow, ignoring cap issues, who should be used as trade capital to pull it off for them, Allen, Lamar, etc. And who would you prefer to have if they could not say no? Does your answer change if they had to, you know, follow the cap?
which is a website that was created that really has to be seen to be believed. Start9.win is obviously AI slop, whose model predicts a McCarthy-led Vikings team winning only 11.5 games. Only 11.
I'm confident that the initial version had hallucinated links that they probably did fix after a couple of passes. But for the most part, yeah. Can you envision sending this link out to your friends? Like, hey, could you like quality test this to see what I missed? Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm just imagining what the group chat would look like at that point.
I'm impressed, actually. JJ McDonald asks, what's the maximum number of former head coaches you can enroll in an accelerator program before you're forced to admit that it's just a rehab?
Madden slash AI. We'll get to that. Yeah. Oh, that's in there. Great. Yeah. Damien asks for a reef's false advertising corner. What kind of BS are OTAs? From what I can tell, it's just practice. If someone from my work organized some, quote, team activities and it turned out to be just work, I'd be pissed. As a hypothetical team owner, what would you do for OTAs? Paintball? Go-karting? Karaoke?
Let's go to Mad Max Brosmer who asks, For a Reef's Seed Oil Corner. This will be a beautiful rant. On a recent pod, you stated it was perfectly fine to consume seed oils and there was no real associated health impact from doing so.
However, we now have an NFL team with a full staff of highly trained nutritionalists that has banned seed oils in their cafeteria. It's the Titans in case you're curious. Yeah. How much is Big Food paying you to actively encourage your listeners to poison themselves and their children? And how can you sleep at night? Oh, yeah. First of all.
So if you'd like to know more about seed oils and things like that, there's a good YouTube channel called The Plant Slant. Yeah, we mentioned them like a couple months ago. And that guy rules, man. Absolutely worth listening to. Liam, I think his name is Liam, right? Yeah, Liam, yeah. He's a bean enthusiast. He loves beans. He's sponsored by beans. Yeah, he is sponsored by Big Bean. Yeah, that is true.
Good for him for finally getting the, for getting the bean money. But yeah, he goes off on rants about people who are anti-seed oil. It's quite entertaining. Yeah, like seed oil is one of the common ones. I think like Costco chicken for some reason was like a thing that people were spreading misinformation about a lot of times. But like he did do a little series on why Costco chicken's fine. My favorite is just the rants about people who walk around in grocery stores with cameras. Yes.
Okay, bye. Also from Mad Max Brosmer, Fora Reef's sports reporter supporting Social Casa's corner.
