Brian Marshall & The ROCK 108 Morning Show - "Pulling Weeds?"

We have a hometown Daily Dumbass.

Steve submitted this one and I appreciate it very much.

Officers spotted a car at TJ's Park and Police Officers Memorial Park about 3.30 in the morning on Thursday.

Now think about this, parks are closed at that time of night.

So officers pulled in to investigate.

Officers found two marijuana plants inside of a vehicle and 11 others in the woods near the car.

The Rock 108 Morning Show

Slaykin Park with Noam on Rock 108, which is the perfect way to feel if you're a Minnesota Vikings fan getting into the beginning of the season.

You heard yesterday that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held on to beat the Vikings and Baker Mayfield getting out there.

And the first, the first half it was a little tough.

for Baker, but in the second half, it's like he figured everything out and the Vikings did not.

So it's, it's going to be a long season.

I've got with me, sports commentator in central Minnesota, host of the purple positivity podcast and the beer, Bailey sports network.

And I think we were the only two invited to our 25th class reunion.

Justin Ekstrom joins us on the rock 108 morning show.

Thanks a lot, man.

They must've missed the memo.

Maybe everybody else went and they just didn't send us the, uh, the invites.

Yeah.

They're like, yeah, bowl of Ramma, bowl of Ramma.

That's where we're going.

I was like, man, no one's here at bowl of Ramma except for Brian Marshall.

That's great.

All three preseason games are in the drink.

A loss to start the season.

It's a rough start for the Vikings, right?

Yeah, absolutely.

It's, it's one of those things where, as I said, on my purple positivity, if you're a new to the Vikings fandom,

Just be ready to lose some games that you shouldn't be ready to win some games that you shouldn't.

It's just the way it goes.

Cause this one, they should not have lost this game, but that offensive line stinks.

I don't know how to do a purple positivity about that offensive line.

Three turnovers.

One of those turnovers was stolen out of the hands of, you know, from a touchdown there.

What do you count to Kirk cousins?

What do you count?

Or was just Tampa Bay that good?

Tampa Bay defensively, they're ridiculous.

They still have a bit of air.

And he's an absolute mountain in the middle of that defense.

And they have Devin White.

Both those guys are so good.

Like I was telling people, I'm like, hey, don't expect this offense to just have these fireworks all over the place just because they're going against a Tampa Bay team that was eight and nine last year, whatever it was with Tom Brady.

And now they don't have Tom Brady.

That defense is still stout.

When, when your own offensive lineman strips the ball out of Kirk Cousins hands, I mean, he's playing defense while he's supposed to be protecting the quarterback.

That's not what I was like.

And I swear it's only the Vikings can do this type of stuff.

When the last time you saw an offensive lineman pulling from the right side, going to the left, and while he's swinging his left arm, his big left limb, he knocks the ball out of your own quarterback's hand.

Can you remember any of that happening?

I don't remember.

Maybe it, maybe it's because they're under my microscope, but holy crap.

I can't even think of any time that has ever happened before.

Like you said, as a Vikings fan, you come to expect the worst, but you have the purple positivity podcast on the beer, barely sports network.

I want three points of positivity for the Viking season.

Justin, give those to me.

Well, I'm just going to have to name names because Justin Jefferson, whether we go three wins or nine wins or 10 wins, whatever you think, Justin Jefferson is the real deal.

He's the best wide receiver in all football.

He's going to earn that contract.

I thought he would have had the contract by now, but yeah, they didn't.

They gave it to the former Iowa Hawkeye, P.J.

Hawkinson instead.

I think Kirk Cunnons is a positive.

I think his connection with.

with Justin Jefferson.

And I think eventually he'll settle down, but man, he's going to get murdered behind that offensive line, which is definitely not a positivity.

And I'm going to go with the rookie Jordan Edison super positive.

We're going to be watching him grow.

And he had his first touchdown.

Just look at that throw.

Anytime that there's a defensive back that has their back of their helmet, the Kirk cousins, that throw is perfect.

All right.

So the purple positivity podcast with Justin Ekstrom.

You are featured on the beer belly sports network.

Where can they find your podcast?

You just go to your belly sports.

That's BBS sports right there on Twitter.

You can go look on anywhere you get your podcasts.

Matt Geffrey is doing some good things there.

You know, even including, put me on there and I'm going to consider that a good thing

too.

Justin, great to have you back on the show again.

Thank you very much, sir.

You guys have a good day and it'll be okay.

Vikings with, you know, the fans work, we're going to be

okay.
