Vienna Vikings

And...

For a guy who's from Vienna Vikings, $100 million for four years, 25 mil a year

is insane.

And quick note, I've got this on our notes here.

Like, that's not the case.

But I did find the Vienna Vikings are, like, pretty much one of the top teams in Europe.

You know, they're purple and yellow and everything, so...

But yeah, it's pretty bad.

goal and a pick two.

They got close a couple of times, but the Vikings red zone

defense, isn't it? It's something we've been talking about all year, but we just saw it

on.

They were insanely strong.

I mean,

from what I saw, Tom, I have to ask you, would you put the entirety of that on the Vienna Vikings' defence or would you give some of that fault to the offence? Surely, would you put some of that on Jameson Wang being flaccid and just not throwing touchdowns? I mean, I can't say not throwing touchdowns, but throwing the ball to the other team, how many times...

five times it was.

The same stuff he kind of had in the NFL, where he would start off hot and things would look good, but then he would refuse to adjust.

And you saw that with Paris both years, where the season would start pretty well, teams would get caught off guard, but once teams kind of figured out how to play Paris, it was easy to adjust to the... to the to the team right like it just there wasn't much that they had to do and we saw it especially Paris this year I mean they completely collapsed in the second half of the season they got that final win in the last week to clinch their playoff berth but like none of us really picked them to make the playoffs towards the end because they were playing so poorly and then yeah

after what week three they went on a giant skid

Yeah, and it's like, yeah, the Paris talent wasn't ever as good.

incorrect before.

Yeah, but, you know, the talent in Nordic is way better than the talent in Paris, like by a mile, right? Just a little bit.

an nfl head coach like you you should like they should have had like the first season he was there they went seven and five like roster wasn't as good as the rest as like the top dogs in europe sure whatever you can maybe see that but they go four and six the next year and like not really seem competitive and have such bad losses like i don't know man like it's just a disappointing tenure for del rio and like also for being like a defensive head coach like the team was so bad defensively um and you know there was the experiment with his son at oc and that was gone poorly and he didn't do well developing and you know like you lose out yeah it's taking a sorry go for it

To take an 11-3 roster, the fourth best team in Europe at the time, to end up two years later at 4-7? Dude, I think they

can point the finger to that all just being a very last minute thing but if beyond this season if now that we know how the leagues work and how they look if teams continue to struggle getting sponsors involved stuff like this is going to pop up across the league with all of the teams

yeah it's a big issue it's a big question mark because um i mean one is that a lot of people are saying of course with the fact that the people who own everything it's essentially In shortcut terms, long story short, essentially it's the Vienna Vikings opening everything, right? Now, given that they themselves are in the final against the Rosler Panthers, who are the only other independent team, could this make for a storyline for the whole league?

Well, if the Panthers win at the weekend, it becomes how one team beat a whole league.

Yeah, pretty much.

I don't see it happening.

I don't see the possibility of two leagues collapsing and a third showing up and surviving.

But I do think there's, in all likelihood, I do see the likes of you know, your Reinfeldt and your Vienna Vikings playing against your Frankfurt Galaxies, Tirol Raiders and who else, you know, I see them playing against each other again in the future.

It's just a matter of how long will it be.

But can you imagine if Wroclaw wins that game next weekend? Oh, dog head.

The only team not owned by the Vienna Vikings beats the Vienna Vikings.

That would be hilarious.

You know, you want to talk about a storybook ending.
