00:00This four-game stretch, they had to get six or seven points.
00:02They got four.
00:03500.
00:04Not good enough to buy.
00:06Arguably bad enough to sell.
00:08I think you should sell.
00:09I think since we last spoke, and today, the prices have gone wacko.
00:14And you should take advantage of that.
00:16And if your locker room has a problem with that, you say, okay, beat Philly.
00:19Beat Nashville.
00:20You didn't do that.
00:21And I don't think one game should determine a deadline.
00:25But the past week and out of the break, they haven't been good enough.
00:29Is that a problem for Donnie?
00:32It shouldn't be.
00:33I mean, he's a veteran GM, right?
00:34And the perk of having a veteran GM is that he knows.
00:40In his heart of hearts, he should know.
00:41He should know, okay, this team isn't good enough.
00:43I'm sorry.
00:43We got to do what's right for business.
00:45I'm talking like the way fans react.
00:46You want players.
00:47And you think, hey, if we're going to sell off, we suck.
00:50Yeah.
00:51I'm sorry to interrupt you.
00:51No, no.
00:52You put it as just one thing you said.
00:54You said that's the worst kind of loss for a GM.
00:57I mean, in some ways, it might be the best possible thing that could have happened for him.
01:01It certainly would give him cover to do the thing that you say.
01:04Right.
01:04Well, so here's where it kind of collides, right?
01:07Like, they've entrusted Marco Sturm to build the culture.
01:10He wants to build the culture.
01:13How is he allowed to do that if you're shipping away parts, right?
01:16Like, if he has a guy that he really likes, like Victor Arvidsson.
01:19Stephon Diggs, yeah.
01:20It's like you're trading away one of the guys I point to as, like, part of our culture, right?
01:25And what we're trying to build here.
01:26And so it just – I said it yesterday.
01:29They've won too much for what Don Sweeney ultimately wanted to do.
01:33I think they're better than they thought they'd be.
01:35If they were, say, five points out of it right now, you can sell today.
01:40You're in a playoff spot.
01:42And selling when you're inside a playoff spot is always a tough sell for the fans.
01:46But I think if you explain the vision properly and you say, hey, we're not going to re-sign these
01:50guys.
01:50We've made these mistakes in the past where we've added when we really shouldn't have.
