On the 26th episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by his Pro Football Hall of Fame brother and Minnesota Vikings legend John Randle (06:46 – 01:03:17). But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll), where the guys react to the news of the week in the football world – J.J. Watt signing a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals (01:27). We then move to our interview with John, where he discusses a wide array of topics: his humble beginnings in Texas, playing football at both the community college and Division II level, and why that helped shape him into the player he ended up being in the NFL (09:21); why he had to tie chains around his waist to make weight in order to even make the Minnesota Vikings roster as an undrafted rookie (20:10); why he ranks the his Vikings defensive line as one of the top 10 defensive lines in NFL history (25:22); why he loves coaching up younger players, and the unique athletes he looked to for inspiration with pass rush moves (27:54); his favorite John Teerlinck stories (29:38); why watching an immense amount of film was the key to all the success his unit had throughout the 1990s, and his unique techniques on gathering research and information on opponents (33:47); a hilarious story about a former teammate, $50,000, and a big day sacking John Elway (38:08); reminiscing on his one career touchdown while playing for the Seattle Seahawks (41:07); the greatness of Randy Moss and the 1998 Vikings, and why losing that NFC Championship Game was so painful (42:24); the first thing that comes to mind when John thinks of Denny Green is not what you would expect (55:49); the leadership of Cris Carter (56:18); an amazing story from Randy Moss’ rookie season (56:47); fond memories of the late Chris Doleman (57:21); why Tony Dungy didn’t even need to say anything, and he could get his point across (59:27); and why he thinks Gary Anderson has not returned to Minnesota since retiring from football (01:00:48). Then, TommyFreezePops is joined by Kevin Rogers for his weekly check-in with the experts from VegasInsider.com (01:04:05 – 01:11:35). With J.J. Watt signing with the Cardinals, Kevin and FreezePops take a look at how this has shifted the odds in the NFC West for 2021 (01:05:13). Plus, with the NBA All-Star break upon, the guys take a look at the top of both the Eastern and Western Conferences (01:07:43). Finally, we close things out with Morten’s “Game Winner” – a weekly segment where Morten monologues his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, he talks about his friend John Randle, and why an iconic song by The Police fits perfectly when describing his Hall of Fame brother (01:11:35).
