  Speaker 3: a buck. Eighty-three. My God. They rushed for 51? I

• 1:15
  Speaker 2: What? What happened?

  Speaker 4: What went down?

  Speaker 3: Down 13 to 7 with 40 seconds to go in
• 1:22

• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Listen, welcome to a Bud Light Football Friday. That was
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a crazy game last night.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: How is it that Deion is so good against these
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: non-conference opponents, man? He's like 8-2 against non-conference opponents. And Juju.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Is the true, true. Although, okay, listen. Listen, we got
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: a lot to talk about that game. A lot to
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: talk about that game.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Juju, though, in the final two drives, we can talk
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: about the first half and wide receivers just dropping balls
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: they'd hit him in the hand.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: But that second, those final two drives.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Now, one, like he drives him down and that was
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: a blocked field goal. But then that final, final drive
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: and that just amazing pass that he drops into the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: pocket for Williams who scores and the Buffs win it 14.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: But then Georgia Tech, man. Georgia Tech rips off that crazy. Hey, Nelson,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: how long was that pass that got him into field
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: goal range? Like, was it the second play of that
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: drive where they just had seconds to go after CU
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: scores the touchdown?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Georgia Tech hits this long play.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They set up a field goal to win it themselves,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and the Buffs blocked it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Man, special teams was all over the place.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Last night for CU, but that's what I'm talking about.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: That's how you ball, CU. You ball like that from
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: now on. There was all, I mean, I was feeling
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: some pain during that game, some rough offensive football, but yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Buffs are 1-0 after beating Georgia Tech on the road 14-13. Welcome.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Birdo, I cannot believe that special
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: teams for the Buffs was garbage for three quarters.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, so bad.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And 90% of the fourth quarter. And I mean, Georgia
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Tech got one touchdown. It was a blown kick coverage.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It was a kick return touchdown.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: He took it 100, bro. He took it 100 yards, man.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: When that happened, I was like, oh, this might not
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: be your night. This might not be your night, man.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't believe it that... For how that game went,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: for how bad special teams was all game long, if
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you had told me that they were going to be
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the ones that came up clutch and saved the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that was unbelievable. Yeah, a hot, wet night.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: In Atlanta, and the Buffs somehow, some way, pull it out,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: get the win 14-30. Julian Lewis, Juju goes 14-27, 124 yards,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: one touchdown. Now, in the first half, In the first half,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: let's see, he only had six completions for 41 yards.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: But in the second half, 14 to 27, 124 yards
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: in that game-winning touchdown. So, hey, man, I mean, you're
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: a grad. You tell me. I mean, they were looking
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: good out there in the black and gold. They pull
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: out the win against Georgia Tech.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I don't like.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Who was on?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Was it Chase Daniels.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Who was just hammering both quarterbacks the entire broadcast? He
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: was going after Mendoza for Georgia Tech and Juju for CU,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: just being a little critical of him. But, man, like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you know what? I got to say, Alberto Mendoza might
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: be a ball or two. Like, I mean, the buffs
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: got to him yesterday, but he might be something. All right, Nelson,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you tell me. Juju. What do you think, man? What
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: do you think?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Man, I.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: That's a Bo Nix performance right there. You know what
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I mean? The Buffs just pulled a Bo.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: The Buffs just pulled Sean Payton in a Bo, man.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Like, winning late, close games that everybody thought you were
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: going to lose.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. He made a couple clutch throws late,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and so that was good that he made the throws
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that mattered when you needed him. I just... I'm going
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to need to see a bigger sample size because, like
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you said, there were some of those passes that he
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: would put in a receiver's breadbasket and then they would drop.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And then there were some you were like, yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: There were some other where he threw the ball assuming
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the receiver would zig and then he zagged. There were
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: definitely some of those week one miscommunications between him and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: his receiver. So I need to see a little bit
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of improvement. Maybe give me one more game or two
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: more games where some of those wrinkles get smoothed out
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and then I'll start to believe in him. What mostly
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: caught my attention, if we're talking about the offense, was
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the run game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I know what you're going to say.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you heard Deion say it in the open there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: They rushed for over 180 yards.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I heard about Juju and the go-go,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, let's see.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Let's see this go-go. And obviously, last night on the broadcast,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: they talked about it a lot.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But the interesting thing, especially in the second half,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: was the third quarter where the buffs were just like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: we're going to hand the ball off and we're going
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to run it down your throat and you can't do anything. Like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: everybody knew what they were going to do, right? There
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: was a couple of those plays that even before the snap,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: they were saying like, oh, they're just going to run
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the ball right. And it worked, man. Just like smash
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: mouth football from CU. That was not what I was
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: expecting from the go-go. That was not what I was expecting.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, so yeah, what did Deion say the rush
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: total was for the game?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Was it 180-what?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I think it was 185 to 50-something for Georgia Tech.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: All right, Henderson had 65, Welch had 58, Smith had 42,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Taylor with 22.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: So they shared the love, but Henderson and, I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Micah and Damian, bro, just ba-ba-ba-bam-bam-bam. You know what?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't... I expected a loss. I did expect a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: loss last night. I thought it might be a close one,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: but I thought it was... And nothing during that game
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: until the fourth quarter changed my mind. But, listen, man,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech's offense wasn't, I mean, wasn't humming along either.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, that's just a great win.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: That's just a great win right there by the CU
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Buffaloes as they top Georgia Tech in Georgia.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Border war comes up this weekend with CSU and Wyoming.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So we'll see how that gets it. Wyoming is Nelly is,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: is Wyoming favorite in that bad boy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I left to look that up, but you know, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: don't actually, I don't know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: That's a good question.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know who we can ask though, is Brian Roth,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the voice of the CSU Rams who will be joining
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: us at eight 20 this morning to get a little
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Colorado state perspective on the border war.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It's CSU minus three right now. CSU minus three. Uh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: As the border war gets going. So, yeah, we will
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: talk about that as we got a full Bud Light.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Football Friday coming at you live from the Backus and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Shanker studios here in Lone Tree. Just just one single tree.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And by the way, do you remember? I'll see if
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I can dig the clip up. It was it was
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen being asked. I can't remember who asked him,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: but he was doing his bills, media availability, and someone
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: asked him about the border war coming up. and this
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: was after he'd been out of college for years, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I remember they asked him, they're like, hey, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: CSU's playing your alma mater. Are you watching? And you
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: started talking smack about the Rams. He kind of chuckled
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and was like, well, I never lost to them all
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: four years when I was there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that, was that just last year?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Because remember, he was back at Wyoming for something with
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: his soon-to-be wife, or now wife, right? Don't I remember
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: seeing that video of him going back to Wyoming?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I think last year he got honored, but I just
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: remember when I saw that clip, I went, dude, that's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: how legit that rivalry is. After he's been frozen into
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a block of ice in Buffalo for like eight years,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he still thinks about the Rammies, man.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, listen, I mean, that's just
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: the nature of the beast. The nature of the beast
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: in college football is rivalry. Listen, man, we had some
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: good games yesterday. We had some crazy, like, okay, UMass Rutgers.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: UMass was on 18-game losing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Streak or something, right?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Am I right or am I wrong?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Hold on, let me, yeah, 16-game, sorry, 16-game losing streak.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: They take on Rutgers, who was massively favored. But UMass' quarterback, who, listen, man,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Pop Williams III, William Watson, no, excuse me, William Watson III,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: people call him Pop, goes off 19-22, 197 yards, three touchdowns,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: and UMass snaps the streak and beat Rutgers 37-21.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, college football, man. Listen, we're going to have.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: To get into it. especially with Vic and Moj when
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: they join us here in just a little bit. But
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: there was a rather large breaking sports story right in
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: the middle of that Buffs game.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And then they obviously talked about it a lot at halftime.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: And that's the fact that a Louisiana judge said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: these former NFLers, they can absolutely play for LSU.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And so now, now you're stuck, baby.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Now you're stuck because you're going to have competing judges
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and LSU, like, Wright and Harris can play. Those dudes
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: were in an NFL training camp, and now they can play.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, it was Daquan who's like, I'm going
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to play against Clemson this weekend, now that I'm cleared,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: now that the judge cleared him.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: But I.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: This is such a weird scenario because the SEC is
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: suing LSU and they're suing Lane Kiffin. And they're saying, hey,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: if you play these guys, we're gonna drop the hammer
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: on you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: And LSU is like, yo, man, the law's on our side.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: If you do that, if you drop the hammer on us,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: then you are going against a court order.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: And you can't do that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's gonna happen with all this stuff.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what's gonna happen with all this stuff.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: but we could have a guy who was in an
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: NFL training camp just a couple of weeks ago play
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: for LSU when they take on Clemson this weekend.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And that's wild to me. That is absolutely wild.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Nelson?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm going to ask you a U.S.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: history question here, Berto, but do you remember which amendment
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: is the one that guarantees states' rights?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the number off the top of my head,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: but there's that amendment that says, like, anything that you
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: don't specify at the federal level goes to the states, right?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: That's the states' rights amendment. From a college football perspective,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: we got to get rid of states' rights. Like, it's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: insane to me that Louisiana— The 10th Amendment, brother. Thank you.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: The 10th Amendment. It's crazy to me that Louisiana— LSU wants
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to get a ruling on this, so they go to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a Louisiana judge that says, yeah, that's okay. You could
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: take this guy from the Cleveland Browns and put him
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: on your college team.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: And do you remember when Texas Tech was trying to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: get Brendan Sorsby to be able to play when he
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: had all that gambling stuff? You know who they went to?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: A judge in Lubbock, Texas.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you can't have judges in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the state ruling on that state school.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Well, see, this Louisiana judge... even went after.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: The SEC because the SEC, like the judge accused the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: SEC of collusion against LSU.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: They were saying like, hey, listen, I'm going to put
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: out this court order.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It's going to be, it's legally binding, man. But you
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: turkeys are going to try to come down on LSU and,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: and you're doing it to get like, you've, you've got
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: together and decided you're going to, you're going to hammer
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: LSU for doing this. And the judge is like, that's collusion.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: You can't do it. But it's, but it's college sports.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: It's been college sports for, I don't know how many
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: years now. Like once again, in the lawsuit, or during
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the trial, the judge, the SEC lawyers were saying, listen,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: there's this bright, shining line. It's been there forever that
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: separates college athletes from pro athletes.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: And LSU's lawyer was like, prove it, man. That ain't true.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: That ain't true. That ain't been true for years, man.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: There ain't no bright, shining light that separates the two anymore.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: That's just not how we handle things anymore. So the
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: SEC lawyers were like, let's go back to how it
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: was before. Back in the day, and the LSU lawyers
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: was like, listen, this is a new world. You're living
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: in a new world, and we can't go back there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And the judge sided with LSU. But the SEC is
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: going to find a judge somewhere to throw that out,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: It's Wild, Wild West, and I'm here for it. I'm
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: here for it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: But it's just, I don't.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Here's what's crazy. Here's what's crazy. Which other SEC school
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: do you think says to hell with it and jumps
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: over on the LSU side of things? Because, you know what,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the SEC, when they released that press release, they were
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: talking about the sanctity and the honor of college football. Like, yo, SEC,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: miss me with this sanctity stuff because that's not what
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you're about.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: You're about winning football games. That's all there is. But, yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: this is crazy. Former NFLers playing college. Well, we'll see
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: how it all plays out.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: We'll roll on with Brett Cain's special morning hour starring
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Brett Cain on a Bud Light Football Friday after a
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: great time out. It's Bud Light Football Friday. Bud Light,

  Speaker 3: football on this Bud Light Football Friday, you do know
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: that your ultimate two bands combined this weekend here in

  Speaker 3: That's a very... That's a weird-ass combo.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Unlikely pairing?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: The Frey and Vanilla Ice. And listen, the Frey is local, right?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: They're going to be celebrating this CU win. Now that
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the Buffs have started the season 1-0 with a upset
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: of Georgia Tech there in Atlanta in a game that
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: lasted over four hours, brother.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Like, we had the weather delay. Kickoff was 6-20.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: What time did that game in? 10.30, something like that?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, that fourth quarter was so tough. I mean,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: just going back and forth. It's good stuff, but let
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: me ask.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: All right, Nelly.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: How does this, does this change the way you feel
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: about this upcoming season?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: About the fray?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: For the buffs.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: No, not about the fray.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I know you love the fray, bro. I do love them,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: even though, point of order, they technically met at DU,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: so I don't know if they're CU fans, but they're
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: probably stoked about all these natties.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I did not know they were, those turkeys are piles?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah. I had no idea, bro. They're pile boys.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so you're right. Maybe they're not quite as
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: excited for, for the Buffs win. But you tell me, man.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, did it change your opinion about anything? Did
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it change your opinion about Dion? About Juju?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: About the go-go? About that defense, man?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Man, you know what? Because it was.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: That final two drives by Juju, even though you had
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the blocked field goal, seriously, I love it. I love it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: But you know what? Buffs defense, man.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Buffs defense was, you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Know, who was that dude with the superhero name who
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: had like three or four sacks last night for the Buffs?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: His name's like Larry Lamont.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Lamont Lester.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Lamont Lester. How many sacks did that, brother? He
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: had four solo tackles, three sacks. He was all over
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the place, man.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: That like, um. Dude whose middle name is ESPN. That
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: guy was all over the Gideon. That guy was all
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: over the place.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I guess I wasn't, I've been focusing a
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: little too much on the go-go in Juju instead of
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: what maybe the Buffs defense could look like this season.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: But they look good. That was my takeaway is the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: two positive takeaways I had mainly were that the defense
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: held And they held throughout the entire game. I mean,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: is it not classic of the Buffs to maybe the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: defense works for like three quarters and in the fourth
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: quarter or the second half, the wheels just pop off
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and they lose like 50-6?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: What were your emotions like when Georgia Tech was setting
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: up for that game-winning field goal? Did you think that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it wasn't that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Their punter, who looks like he's 70... I mean, their kicker,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: who looks like he's 70 years old, Aiden.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Whatever, Aiden Burr, Barr, something like that. That dude, I mean,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: he's a good kicker, right? And he had some pretty,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: you know what? Let me see.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Aiden Beer, Aiden Beer, senior from Texas.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And I thought, yeah, after that long pass play, how
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: long was that final attempt?
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Was it 44?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: How long was the final attempt that the Buffs blocked?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Because I can't remember how, I mean, I was, I
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: do not remember how long that final attempt was by
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech that the Buffs got too blocked and won
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the game on that block.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Walk-off block. But I don't know what that, because I can't,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: was it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: 34, 44?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I think it was pretty long.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It was 45-yard attempts.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: 45-yard attempts. All right, that the Buffs got to. But,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, where was your mind at when they were
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: lining up for that kick? You're like, oh, man, the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Buffs are going to boot this game.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: So, actually.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: One defensive lapse.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: This is the morning show life, Birdo. I was watching
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: that game, the last quarter of that game in bed
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: because I was starting to wind down. I totally fell
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: asleep before that kick.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Are you crazy?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I swear.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: It wasn't intentional. No. It was one of those things where, like,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I just fell asleep, and then I woke up, and
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: they're showing highlights, and Scott Van Pelt's talking.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what happened?
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're a terrible Buffs fan, bro.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: You're a terrible Buffs fan.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: This might be the best Buffs game of the season.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: We don't know, man.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: You missed it. And it gets even worse. So just
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: after 9 o'clock when Georgia Tech blocked CU's kick, all
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I tweeted out was special, period, teams, period, with the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: gif of a face palm.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: And then you fell asleep and missed the buff with
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: an epic comeback I missed the comeback I missed the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: final kick and yeah I woke up but they were
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: showing highlights on SportsCenter and I don't know you know
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: that experience right where you wake up and then you
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: you're like oh my god where am I what year
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: is it and so I had to go on social
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: media and piece together some of the stuff from the
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: final drive but that that's the morning life Birdo.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man. So what were my emotions? Yeah, nonexistent.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Nonexistent, man.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I was very peaceful during that last kick attempt.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Man, you suck as a CU fan, bro.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: That was an epic. That was a great comeback.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: And I will say that even though the Buffs only
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: scored 14 with the two touchdowns, and I mean, well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: they probably should have, could have, and would have kicked
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: some field goals in that one if the special teams
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: were better. But even though they scored just 14, the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: way they were– They were running the offense, made me
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: think that give it a few games and you might
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: see this team put up some points. You know, because
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I guess I didn't imagine that we were going to
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: get a 14-13 game. You know what I mean?
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Like, I thought there might be, what was the over-under?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: How about that, Nelly?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: What's the over-under on that Buffs-Georgia Tech game? That was
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the first game of the season, so offenses are going
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: to be a little bit different. behind defenses, right? That's
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: just the nature of the beast. Got to give it
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of games to get in that rhythm, get
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: in that flow. But, I was expecting both teams in
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the 30s or something like that. Instead of just the
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Running the ball. I mean, did the weather have anything
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to do with that? Like, Georgia Tech was sliding off,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: slipping and sliding all over the place. Everybody was, you know, wet,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: sweaty all night long. I don't know if that had
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: anything to do with it. But, yeah, no, the Buffs'
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: running game was great. Running game was great, and their
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: defense was awesome. They held Georgia Tech to just 51
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: rushing yards on the night while they ran for 183.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: 1-0 for the Buffs.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: And next up is Weber.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Is it Weber State? Well, I will look right now.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: It is Weber State at home next week on Saturday.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: So that's what's coming up. Then they're at Northwestern and
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: at Baylor.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Your Saturday mornings just got local.
• 22:09

  Speaker 3: football on the station tonight, tomorrow. Tonight, it's high school football.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It's back on Altitude Sports. Chaparral takes on legend Vic
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Lombardi and Tyler Poulombis on the call. Our broadcast starts
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: at 7 right here on Altitude Sports Radio, 9 to 5,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: thanks to Sports Clip and Wings Credit Union. All right,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that judge in Louisiana was like, yeah, let's
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: let some of these pros play college football. There are
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: some people who are taking that ruling and saying, let's
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: run with it. Because right now, it's just for those
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: COVID players. It's just for those players that got robbed
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: or allegedly got robbed of a year, of a chance
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: to make money that year or whatever. So right now,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: it's just for those guys. But I'm sure you can
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: find a judge that would expand that ruling.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: It feels like To be a sports fan now, you need,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: you need, you got to have somebody in local politics
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: that's also a sports fan. You know what I mean? Like, right?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Like all these, like all these tax breaks that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Some of these states give to these, to these athletes
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and stuff to just get them to come. I mean,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: we need, we need somebody in an office here in
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Colorado who's pro sports. So my question for the text line,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the Sean Moss text line is, Nelson wants us to,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: it's 303-504-0925. Text in and tell me who here at
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the station is the most electable because we will run
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: them for mayor or governor.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: When's the next election.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: For mayor of Denver? Actually, I don't know if the
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: mayor can do a damn thing. When's the next election
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: for governor? And who do you think is the most
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: electable chucklehead here at the station? Because we need somebody
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: who can... pull out these judgments like it's happening in
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: these other states. We need that stuff.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: We're voting on a new governor this November.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: This November?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: So they need to get into the race now.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: They need to get into the race now. I don't
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: know who the most electable person here would be. And
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I don't even care if they're the best. Just the
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: guy who we can get elected. That's all I care about.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I bet Nate Crackman would give a killer speech with
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: his vocabulary. Yeah, but he's not electable, man.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: He's not electable. Crackman's not electable.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Because he's got no time
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: to be shaking babies and hugging the hands or whatever
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about?
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: He's not going to go out there and press the flesh.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: He's not going to go door to door. That's not
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: what Cracker does, man. Kissing babies and shaking hands. He's
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: shaking babies. We need somebody who will go out there
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: and shake some babies. Who's the biggest baby shaker here
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: at the station? Man, they just replayed that pass from
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Juju to Williams. That was a great pass. Like, he
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: dropped that bad boy right over the hands of the defender, man. Like,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: that was a great pass. Like, it wasn't, he didn't
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: just rocket it in there. Like, he had to place
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: that ball perfectly, and it just dropped in. Like, that
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: was double coverage, basically. So they were, yeah, now they're
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: replaying the block kick. Nelson, I am disappointed in you, brother,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: that you missed that. That was... I mean, what's the
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: greatest CU game that you ever attended? Now that you
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: missed this one, what's the greatest?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I attended some of those games during the 10-win season,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the rise season under McIntyre. Those were pretty good. But no,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: best CU games I've ever been to, I was at
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Folsom in 2023 when they beat the Brakes off Nebraska.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And then I was also in the house for that
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: double overtime game against CSU. So I feel like I
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: saw some good ones.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, that's not bad. That CSU one is
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: hella dope, hella dope. So I'm here for it. The
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: text line isn't, well.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: We're getting some votes for Vic. Matt says, listen, Vic,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: he's a handsome, smooth-talking Denver native. It's got to be Vic. Although, listen,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: the 720 says, with all due respect, I'm not sure
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: a single one of you is electable.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, Vic is already the governor of this show.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Chad Brown for governor. Raj, 2026. Yo, man, I love
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: me some Raj, but you can't have that dude running
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: the state. You can't have Raj running the state. I mean, well,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: hockey would explode, right? Like, he'd mandate, like, every hockey
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: rink on every corner. Hockey rink on every corner. Bud
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Driver buff.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Scott Hastings.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Listen, man, Scott, he'd be a good candidate. But, yeah,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: mostly we're getting– Oh, see, see.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: This is not an opportunity for you people to take
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: a shot at DMACC. This is not an opportunity for
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: y'all to hit the text line and take shots at DMACC. Yes,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I realize it would be hard to get DMACC elected
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: to it. Although I don't know, man. It's name recognition, right?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: It's name recognition.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: You see DMACC on the ballot and you're like, I
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: know that guy. I know who that is. Yeah, I'll
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: vote DMACC.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: What do you think the first thing DMACC does if
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: he's elected governor of the state of Colorado? The first thing.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: The very first thing. I don't know. You tell me, Tuxlin.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I don't want to get inside that man's brain.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: That's dangerous. Never know what's going to happen.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Actually, do that, Matt.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: So, the NFL season starts on Wednesday? Wednesday night, right?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So, we are, whatever, Patriots and Seahawks on Wednesday night,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: and then Thursday night, we got Niners and Rams, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: you can hear both of those games right here on
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the station. We will have to wait until the final
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: game of the opening weekend for the Broncos and the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Chiefs to get it on at Arrowhead. Right now, the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: line is still KC minus three. And I think that's
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: where it's been for a while now. It has not changed.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: You know what? I'm going to be interested. Listen, it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: going to be interesting to see how close Patrick Mahomes
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: is to the Patrick Mahomes that we all know and love.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: You know what? The Ringer did their AFC West preview,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: and they had a pretty... They were like, all right,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pick the winner of the AFC West.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pick the best teams.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: And.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: They were like, we were having a hard time doing
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: it because the AFC West has got three.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Really good teams and then a team that's maybe on
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the rise, but who knows, in Vegas. But what they
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: did is change the nature of the question. Instead of saying,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: who's going to win the AFC West? They said, if
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: your life depended on it, who would win the AFC West?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: West?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And if they said, when you change the question like
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: that first, you throw the Chargers out because in a
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: life and death situation, the Chargers are going to charge her.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: So there's no way that, so Chargers are out and
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Vegas is out because they're going to suck. So that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: leaves the Broncos and the Chiefs. And they did some
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: interesting math. They said the question should be this. This
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: is a matchup of a great roster versus a great quarterback.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And what is the better thing to have in this NFL?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: A great roster or a great quarterback? I don't know, man.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Can Patrick Mahomes do it by himself?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: It certainly feels like he can because he has, right?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Mahomes has in the past. But is he still the
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: same Mahomes? I mean, probably, right?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: It's Patrick.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: It's probably this.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: The ringer did decide that it was going to be
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: That win the AFC. With 11 wins.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: And the Broncos. And the Chargers.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Would both be sitting there. With 10 wins.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: With the Broncos. In second place. Because they'd have the
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: better record. Or they'd have the better win record. Over
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the Chargers.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: They.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: They win both games.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: I think. Over LA. According to. To the ringer.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: But.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Now that you understand changing the nature of the question,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: it makes you look at the Chargers and be like, yo, man,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: you're right. If it comes down to it in a
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: life and death situation, you can't bet on the Chargers
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: because they're going to let you down.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: They literally have a verb that's associated with choking away
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: a pretty good win that you got locked up. So
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you want to put your life in those hands?
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: But I just think it's an interesting question. Great quarterback
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: versus great roster. And who comes out on top? I mean,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: who knows?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: But it's a Bud Light Football Friday. We will continue
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: after this. Yo, speaking of Tupac, did they convict that
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: guy who killed him? Like, that trial just ended, right?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: It did.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: We know who killed Tupac now, right?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: That guy got arrested.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, he got convicted. That trial is over. Altitude

  Speaker 3: The Zone in Golden starting at 3 o'clock.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: There is... Before we move on, there is one final piece.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about from the article by The
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Ringer talking about the AFC West. First off, Sean Payton,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I think Sean Payton just yesterday mentioned that the AFC
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: West is tough and he thinks that all four teams
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: in the AFC.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: West got better this season.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: But when I was talking about just last segment about
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: ranking the AFC West and there's three teams really good
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: teams in the AFC West. Some people on the text
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: line did not agree with that. They do not think
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: there's three really good teams in the AFC. Man, there's
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of people doubting the Chargers. There's also a
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: couple of people who think the Chiefs are just done.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: The Chiefs dynasty is just done. Now, I know it's Denver,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: and we hate those chuckleheads, but I don't know if
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I can just come out and say the Chiefs dynasty
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: is done.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that. Also, the text line thinks... Yeah, I
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: hear you, Devin.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I hear you, man. November 19th?
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: November 19th?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one. But, let me rephrase.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Let me rephrase the whole conversation when it comes to
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: the AFC West. And there is, or let me, before that,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: let me give you a conspiracy theory.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Nelson, you tell me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: At the end of the Ringer article, when it came
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: to the Broncos, They said, listen, I don't want to
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: be that guy, but Sean Payton loves him some Sean Payton.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: And so he was very shocked when Sean Payton gave
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: up play calling duties to Davis Webb. Here is his
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theory about that decision. He thinks that Sean Payton
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: believes the Broncos are going to struggle early in the
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: season and with Bo Nix coming off that ankle injury
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: and with the schedule being as nasty as it is,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: and that if that happens, Sean Payton can swoop in,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: take over the offense, and play the role of savior
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: for when the Broncos hit the middle of the schedule
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: and they get a bunch of chumps. I think that's ridiculous.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Do you buy into that conspiracy theory? Do you buy
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: into it?
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: The conspiracy that Sean Payton is intentionally.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Setting up Davis Webb to fail is not, no, no, no, no.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: There's no way Sean Payton is like, well, let's lose. See,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: they're saying that Sean Payton already knows they're going to
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: lose a lot of those early games because of that schedule.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: And I think that's crazy talk. I mean, it's a
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theory, and that's the reason it's a conspiracy theory,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: but come on, man. Setting up Davis Webb to fail
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: so you can swoop in, take back over-the-plate calling duties,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: and be prey?
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Nah, nah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Nah, I mean, there might be a little bit of ego. Well,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: more than a little bit of an ego to Sean Payton,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: but I don't think it's ever like that. Oh, wait,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: my bad, 720. That's not the guy who killed Tupac.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: He's the guy who orchestrated the whole thing? All right,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: all right, all right. Um... Wow. You know what? Some
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: people on the text line say that they do agree
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: with that conspiracy theory, which is wild. Because, I mean, listen,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: there's some conspiracy theory people out there. They just believe
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: all these conspiracy theories. But that one is a step
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: too far for me because it means Sean Payton is
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: planning on the team to lose. And that's just not
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: in that dude's mindset. That's just not how that guy
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: thinks about things, right? There's no way.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: You know what, I say that, but Sean Payton is absolutely, no.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Would Sean Payton kick a late game in the season to, like,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think Sean Payton would kick a game in
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: the season to help the Broncos in a playoff spot,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: but I think he would kick a game late in
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: the season to do an opponent dirty, like to do
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs or the Chargers or the Raiders are dirty
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: or something like, I don't know. Nah, nah, nah, it's crazy.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: It's crazy talk. Crazy talk, but I mean, Welcome to
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: professional sports in the year of our Lord, 2026. Crazy
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: stuff seems to happen. Listen, to me, to me, you
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: know what? There's a Kevin Costner quote from back in
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the day in one of his sports movies where he says,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the only thing that's going to bother me today is
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: insufficient applause. And honestly, that's how I feel about this
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Broncos season. It might be a little too sunny side up,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: but I don't think so, man.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I think this Broncos team is going to do some
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: damage this season. Some absolute damage. And it's great. When
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you have Bo Nix on a rookie deal, you got
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: to take advantage. And you got, wait, do you got
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: one or two more? You got one more year until
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: you have to pay him, but you got two more
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: years because you'll pick up that fifth year option, right?
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: So you don't have.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Much time to load this team up in positions outside
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: of the quarterback position before you have to hand Bo
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Nix $ 325 million or whatever that is. So you... If
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: you want to take advantage of having a franchise quarterback
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: under a rookie deal right now, you got to handle
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: business in the next two seasons.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Otherwise.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Bo starts making $ 55 million a year, and the cap gets,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: you know, constrained a little. And then you join the
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Avs and the Nugs trying to work with, well, you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: let's find a player that's good enough that's also going
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: to be able to fit into our situation under the cap. So, yes. Max,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: you are right. I think he did give up play-calling
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: duties before knowing what the schedule is. So, you're right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: This conspiracy theory might just be bunk.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Or.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Well, but see, before they even released the schedule, they
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: knew they were going to have a tougher schedule than
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: they had last year because they made it to the
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: conference championship game. You know what I mean? But, yeah. Oh, well.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: There are people on the text line who believe my
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: man DMACC would most look like Kim Jong-un as a politician.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we go that far.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: They are the same height.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: How tall is Kim Jong-un?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Well, if you ask him, he's probably... 7'2.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 7'2.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: 7'2.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, you probably ask anybody from that country,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: and they're like, 7'2, 7'2, easily the tallest person in
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: He towers over Yao Ming.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I just saw Yao Ming. He was doing... I mean,
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: he still works with the CBA, the China Basketball League, right?
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: And so he was doing something. Still just a big,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: big dude.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: So the first result that came up is, Kim Jong-un
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: is estimated to be about 5'7.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: 5'7.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: What's DMACC?
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: HIPAA, sucker. I don't know.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: DMACC did text in and say if we elected him governor,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: he would just appoint somebody else and then go skiing.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, if you're governor, can you just, like,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: can the governor declare a holiday? Like, if I wanted
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: to be like, yo, it's a Bud Light Football Friday.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Everybody gets off work today. Or I can only do
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: that for government employees.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure how
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: far we can go with that. Like, how much power
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: does the governor of Colorado really have? Like, I can't
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: launch a nuclear strike or anything, right? I can't attack, like,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I can't attack anything. like New Mexico, be like, we're
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: coming for you, Albuquerque.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Nothing like that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Like, I guess I really don't even know what a
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: governor can do. But we will see.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: You really hate your old stomping grounds that much? You'd
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: nuke New Mexico? No, I don't hate New Mexico, man.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I don't. But I'm just saying, like, if I wanted
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: to expand Colorado, like, if I wanted to make Colorado bigger,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: could I just take over New Mexico as the governor?
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. Okay. I have one final topic here.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Before we wrap things up and head it off to
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Moj and Vic. And there are some things I do
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: really want to talk to them about.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: But.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: What.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, Nelson.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: What would you say the NFL equivalent of the Kawhi
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Clipper nonsense is?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: And I bring it up because here's... I was thinking about... Like,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: that was... What happened with Kawhi and the LA Clippers,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: one of the harshest penalties in sports. And when it
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: comes to the league dropping the hammer on their teams,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: you know what it did make me think of? In
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: the history of sports in this country, the major sports scandals,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: the head coach of the Denver Broncos is part of
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: two of what I think is probably five or ten
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: of the biggest scandals it's controversies in sports. Sean Payton
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: involved in two of them, right? It's Bounty Gate, which
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: is obviously one of the biggest, like you win the
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, everybody's happy. And then, you know, and then
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: the NFL does an investigation, finds out that Greg Williams
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: was paying players to injure other, or paying players when
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: they would injure opposing players. And then when they went
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: to Sean Payton, he wouldn't snitch.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: And so they hammered Payton and he got suspended permanently.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: For a year.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: There's obviously Spygate. Spygate's a massive, massive, massive scandal. But
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: you know what?
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: The other one that Sean Payton was involved in, just tangentially,
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: is remember when the Miami Dolphins owner got suspended for
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: a year and they got fined 1.5 milli and.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: They lost a first and a third? Do you remember
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: what that was for?
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: It was because the Dolphins had illegal contact with.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady and Sean Payton. Remember that?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Remember that? They circumvented the rules to secretly meet with
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady and with Sean Payton.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: And the NFL dropped the hammer on them on that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: One, too. Matter of fact, I think that lawsuit from
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Flores is still going on where he sued the team. Remember,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: according to Flores, the owner of the Miami Dolphins was like, hey, man,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: we can't win in this league without, we got to
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: get the number one pick in the draft, and we
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: got to get a quarterback in here. I need you
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: to lose, is basically what Flores is saying. It's like,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: he asked me to lose games. And I think that
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: lawsuit is still going on right now as we speak.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: But either way, we will find out.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: That was first hour of Bud Light Football Friday.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Whoa, thanks for tuning in.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Mosier, Lombardi, and Kane.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Coming up next.
